00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: some wet weather moves in. Steve, I was fortunate enough

6
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: to get my lawn done in the last waning hours

7
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: of daylight after a chopping down four of my trees

8
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: with your.

9
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: Your with my chainsaw.

10
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: You've got a powerhouse. But that's right I had.

11
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: I had it, you know, wired up for you.

12
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: But I appreciate it.

13
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got up. Yeah, I didn't do any of

14
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: that last night. I missed out.

15
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: I got caught.

16
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: No, no, I can't remember what I was doing. I

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: think I had childcare last night or.

18
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 4: So.

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm caught on my lawn thing. But between it

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: was it wasn't ready and now it's rained, got warm,

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 3: it's too ready, and it's too wet.

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: I got so you've got long grass now.

23
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: In some spots. Yeah, it's gonna be. So what do

24
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: you do? What's your take on clippings? Do you keep yours?

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: And dumb bag?

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: No? I got I have to bag because I have

27
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: too much decorative landscape. So like you make a wrong

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: you make a wrong turn when you're mulching. Yeah, and

29
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: you fill the landscape bed with long clippings. That is

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: that no go at my house?

31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd get clipped for that.

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: So I just it's easier to just bag for me.

34
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: So that's what I do, and then i'm I can

35
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: take a more efficient route around the lawn to get

36
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: it done quicker. Where if you have to have your

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: mower while you're mulching turned in a certain way so

38
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: it's not facing a landscaping bed. Every time you gotta

39
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: double back something, it takes you twice as long as

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: do damn law.

41
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: Is there a difference between a yard and a lawn?

42
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Okay, well if they're one in

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: this case, I have a property, Yeah, you have a property.

44
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: Have a property, Well, it's a task or compound. I

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: think we all know this, right, right, it's not even

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: a property in a state, that's right.

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: My staff, my staff has been slacking, and I'm gonna

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: have to have a meeting, you staff meeting to get

49
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: my to get my.

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: I will my grounds crew. Yeah, I will say. Uh,

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: I did get an assist because I was coming off

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: vacation last week, coming into the draft. And when I

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: left for vacation, I was like, oh man, my grass

54
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: is gonna be long when I get back. And then

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm going right to work and into the draft for

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: like the next three days, I'm gonna have to cut

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: my lawn. So my wife, who's always thinking a step

58
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: or two ahead of me, asked our neighbor Joe to

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: help us out. And he did. He's got one of

60
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: those zero turn things. I mean, he can done boo.

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: So he did it for me for the first cut.

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: And then I chopped down my four pine trees yesterday

63
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: in my bag. Not big trees, They're like eight feet high.

64
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: They were dead, and I'm dragging those out to the front,

65
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: limting them off, chopping them up. And then I'm looking

66
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: at my lawn going it's a little long. It's okay,

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: it's a little long. And then I'm like, well, what's

68
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: the weather tomorrow, Maybe I'll just do it tomorrow. Look

69
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: at the weather and I'm like, ugh, So you got

70
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: to stay ahead of the weather all the time too,

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: because and I was cutting it last night it was

72
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: wet still, I had like it was a little squishy

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: inside spot fast area, not fast areas.

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: I have certain areas in my lawn where I just

75
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: I don't even look at I just.

76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: You have a tractor and I have a tractor. Someone

77
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,760

00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: zero turn things, but it's big and it's heavy, and it's.

80
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: You know, I mean there are times where I've had

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: to get out and push it out of a mud

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,359

116
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: you know. So it's right, it's true. So I'm like

117
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: a college kid. I'm twenty six coming out of college

118
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: after so I have a responsibility, that's right. So I

119
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: got went to the eye doctor day and so she

120
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: she put contacts in. I'm wearing contacts, right, now which

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: I got them. I got them in, and you know,

122
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: it's an adjustment because it's not it's not perfect.

123
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see close, but if it's over fifty sixty yards,

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: they got to put glasses on. So when I'm calling

125
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: a game, I have glasses.

126
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: I think I'm just the opposite. But although I told her,

127
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: like when I you know, I golf a lot when

128
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: I can, I'm last year and this year I'm struggling

129
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: to see it at the end of the shot. Yeah,

130
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: And I told her that, But I also, you know, me,

131
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here and we sit in front of these

132
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: computers all day looking at them, and I and I

133
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: put cheaters on. I put cheaters on from my phone,

134
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: the whole thing. And then I'm you know, so I'm thinking, man,

135
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: here it goes. So she goes, she goes. She got slight,

136
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: slight cataracts, just you know, barely cataracts. And you're also

137
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: and I'm you know, we went to one or two

138
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: to all that, so I've got trial contacts in. She

139
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: put them in, right, So now I have to go

140
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: back after the show.

141
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: You look like a cartoon.

142
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: And she got to teach me how to She got

143
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: to teach me how to do it.

144
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: Oh, you didn't have time before. Yeah, I got stuff

145
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: I gotta do, and she probably had another appointment. Yeah,

146
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: so I'm yeah, I don't think I would look good

147
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: doing that, because there are times where I'll have something

148
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: in my eye, or you know, you're doing yard work

149
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: and you always something gets in your eye and you

150
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: can't see it, so you need helps or your wife's

151
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: there or whatever whoever's around helping you get the thing

152
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 2: out of your eye. Right, And women are far more

153
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: accustomed to being around their eyes just for makeup and everything.

154
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Plus generally speaking, they're nurturers.

155
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: Well no, I'm just saying, like they don't flinch when

156
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: they got a finger near their eye or something because

157
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: they're doing mascara or whatever. Every day. You know, she's

158
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: coming at me and I'm like, she's like, stop being

159
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: a baby, and I'm just like, well, you're poking me

160
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: in the eye. She's just like I do that every day.

161
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, but I don't wear a mess

162
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: scaret or I know, I'm not used to touching my

163
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: eyeball right.

164
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: Different, it I tried them, it was I would be

165
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: terrible with I mean, it was it had to be

166
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: two decades ago. When I tried them the first time,

167
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: people all it was a hard note. I watched people

168
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: put them in. They're like presto, change like nothing. I'm like,

169
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, So I got to go learn how

170
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: to do that this afternoon. Try I don't know.

171
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: Ones or well, I don't know what are you talking.

172
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: So you can just swap them out and you just

173
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 2: wear them once you.

174
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: Throw them away, and then there's others that you put them.

175
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: In and out and out and out, like you gotta

176
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: keep them in saline overnight.

177
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: And so yeah, I'm gotten into that now. I don't

178
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: even know if you know if these are the perfect

179
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: I guess they're good. She she knows what she's doing.

180
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: She here tried these are the ones, and she put

181
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: them in. But I also have one of my eyes

182
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: is different than the other. But I don't know how

183
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: you get them one season one. It's a different measurement.

184
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's usually the case, right, people do not have

185
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: the way on both sides, usually.

186
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: She said. Nowadays, what they do too is they give

187
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: you two contacts. One is for short reading, like reading

188
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 3: close up, and then the others for distance. Right, But

189
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: you're Yeah, one eyes one one eyes the other.

190
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Why do they do that?

191
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: Some people swear. I've heard some people say, yeah, that's

192
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 3: the way to go. It takes a little getting used,

193
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: takes finger quotes, a little getting used to.

194
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's for me, right, that's crazy.

195
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: So I don't know. So here, I'm in the middle

196
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: of my I'm in the middle of a an optic adjustment,

197
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: and I have I'm I deliberately left all I don't

198
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: have any of my cheaters or anything with me. I

199
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: deliberately left them wherever they are. I know where. There's

200
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: there's a whole drawer of them my desk there.

201
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: Let's we get to the bills notes of the day,

202
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: and this kind of crossed. Last night free agent wide

203
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: receiver Elijah Moore and multiple sources are reporting that the

204
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 2: receivers agreed the terms on a one year contract worth

205
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: up to five million dollars. Moore had a career high

206
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: sixty one receptions last season for the Browns, which has

207
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: been a quarterback carousel played there the last two years

208
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: and has probably caught passes from about five different quarterbacks

209
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: and still made sixty one receptions, which was a single

210
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: season career high last year. He tweeted last night the following,

211
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: back in that red and blue. Time to go, be great,

212
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: grateful for the opportunity. Can't wait to meet Bill's mafia.

213
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: So the Bills usually wait to announce these things until

214
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: a contract sign and a physical has passed, which we

215
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: totally understand. But it looks like he's headed this way.

216
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: And the reason he said back in blue and red

217
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: is because he's an old miss product. You know, red

218
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: and blue are the colors down there as well, So

219
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 2: back in that red and blue. There you go. He

220
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: makes it ten receivers on the roster now with more

221
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 2: additions coming with the undrafted they signed.

222
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 3: Well, there's only one on the list of undrafted. They

223
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: think they got that, but nothing's official.

224
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: Uh, I thought they were. I thought there was reported

225
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: they're getting more than that.

226
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: Three. I think, well they got to get at least.

227
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: There's only one on the list that I got. Well, no,

228
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: that's I'm sorry, that's Kayden Prayer. I'm looking at different.

229
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 2: That's the draft.

230
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got to sign all these guys because they

231
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: you got to go to training camp with like thirteen guys.

232
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta have legs running a lot of routes

233
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: in camp, and.

234
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: You want to go out and find the best guys

235
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: you can. Certainly More is a great candidate for that.

236
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: Well. I would say if there was one thing that

237
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: the offense did not have enough of even after they

238
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: came out of the draft, it would be speed. And

239
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: so I think we had the sense that the Bills

240
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: would be looking to add speed to the offensive side

241
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: of the ball between now and the time they go

242
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: to training camp. And so you only drafted one receiver,

243
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: so you got to fill out the numbers there just

244
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: for an offseason roster. You see who's still floating around

245
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: a free agency and you could do a lot worse,

246
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: worse than Elijah Moore. I mean, a former second round pick.

247
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: And I know when he was coming out in the

248
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one draft, the Bills liked him. They liked

249
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 2: him a lot. I think he even met with them

250
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: during the pre draft process. And the Jets obviously had

251
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: a higher pick than the Bills and they took him

252
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: in the second round. Think he was like the thirty

253
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: six pick overall, and uh, I don't know, things kind

254
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: of went the wrong way with the Jets. Go figure,

255
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 2: we haven't heard that before. He asked to be traded,

256
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: so he saw the writing on the wall there and

257
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: say I gotta get it out of here. Unfortunately he

258
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: went he got traded to the Browns. Can you imagine that.

259
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: It's like, man, I can't take this atmosphere here with

260
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: the Jets anymore. I need you to trade me. Oh okay,

261
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: if you're going to the Browns.

262
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 3: Ooh.

263
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 2: So now that he's a free agent, he's made his pick.

264
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: So there you go. Around the NFL News Steve brought

265
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: to you by Kalida Healthy, Official Healthcare System of the

266
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. It's fifth year option deadline day and the

267
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: Cowboys are going to pick up the fifth year option

268
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: on offensive tackle Tyler Smith. He's been he started it

269
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: right at the beginning of his career. Believe he's the

270
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: starting left tackle for them now, so that's a no

271
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: brainer for them. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns are declining the

272
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: fifth year option on quarterback Kenny Pickett. No surprise there.

273
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: They've got four other quarterbacks on the roster. I don't

274
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: think you want to be locked in to picket. And

275
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: the Eagles are declining wide receiver Johan Dotson's fifth year option,

276
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: as well as that of guard Kenyan Green. So there

277
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: were guys whose options were picked up through the course

278
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: of the last week or so, but more guys getting

279
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: to the deadline without their fifth year picked up. Giants

280
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: GM Joe Shane head coach Brian Dable traded back up

281
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: into round one, as we know, to take quarterback Jackson

282
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: Dart and it felt similar to them because they were

283
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: part of that exercise here in Buffalo back in twenty

284
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: eighteen when Shane was assistant general manager. Dable was the

285
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: OC and Shane was asked about it in a radio

286
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: interview and said, quote, we've been through this. We went

287
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: through it with Josh Allen. We had a little bit

288
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: different quarterback room at the time, but he was going

289
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: to sit his rookie year, and then halftime of the

290
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: opening game, we're getting smoked by Baltimore, so we put

291
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: him in and the rest was history. So that plan

292
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: didn't go as well. But we didn't have a Russell

293
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Wilson or Jamis Winston in the room. So Jackson's gonna

294
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: come in. He's going to learn the offense. There's a

295
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: lot to learn. These NFL offenses are hard to grasp.

296
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: And pick up and then be able to go out

297
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: and execute. So the ability for him to learn and

298
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: sit behind two consummate pros already will be beneficial for him. Now,

299
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: while I totally understand the plan there, Steve, Yeah, if Joe,

300
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: Shane and Brian da Will want to be around for

301
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart, well, they're gonna have to win some games

302
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: with thrust, so Wilson and Jameis Winston if they're not

303
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: playing the rookie.

304
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: I'll say this though, if that's they're set up better

305
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: for Jackson Dart than the Bills were set up even

306
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: for Josh Allen Peterman. It was Nathan Peterman and they

307
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: got rid of Tyrod. Yeah, yeah, Tyrod was gone, and

308
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: so they're set up better for Jackson Dart to be

309
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: successful than they were for Josh Allen. Now, you know,

310
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: obviously Josh was transcendent, so he kind of overcame that.

311
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: But you know, I'll say that I just think the

312
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: Giants are doing it the right way. I mean, they

313
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: may they whiffed on Daniel Jones, that wasn't Shane or

314
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: and they were stuck with the aftermath of that. Then

315
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: the Saquon Barkley saga comes and Saquon, you know, and

316
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: the success he had. You knew, they knew Say Kwe

317
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: was a good player. Everybody knew Saquan was a good player.

318
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 3: They just didn't think it was financially right for them

319
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: to do it at that time, so they didn't. So

320
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: now they're getting they're holding they have egg on their

321
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: face because now Saque's a world champion. All of that

322
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: goes in there. But I'm saying, I'm telling you this,

323
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: and I of course we both like Joe Shane, and

324
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: we both like Dave's great dudes, and I wish them

325
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: the best. I wish them success because they're friends. They're

326
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: doing it right, even.

327
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: For they in the draft this year.

328
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: You're right. I mean, I don't know if John Merris

329
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: thinks like we do, but they're they're making they're doing

330
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: the right things for the right reasons. You don't fire

331
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: guys if it doesn't work out. If you're doing the

332
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: right things for the right reasons, you don't fire guys

333
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: for that. Now. I know it's New York, and I

334
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: know the pressure is intense, and they've they've been down

335
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: for a minute and they need to get back up

336
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: to you know, to save whatever, But I you know

337
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: this is this is not a point where all of

338
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: a sudden, your coach of the year and Brian day

339
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: Ball from getting the Giants to the playoffs his first

340
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: year as head coach, that he didn't forget how to coach, right, So, yeah,

341
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: you're right. I just think there's some pressure. But man, man.

342
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: Plus in that division where every other quarterback on every

343
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: other division rival is better than yours, right, And with

344
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: what Washington did last year to turn their fortunes around

345
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: with Jayden Daniels, if they come out of the shoot

346
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: and they're you know, three and five or four and

347
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: six or four and seven.

348
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 3: People depends a bit.

349
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I just think I just think what

350
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: happened in Washington is going to be the constant comparison

351
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: for Giants fans saying, well, I might as well just

352
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: play the kid.

353
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 3: Now.

354
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: Look, the Washington Commanders didn't look down. It worked out

355
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: for them the playoffs and they were twelve and five.

356
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: It's not that's gonna happen.

357
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 3: It's not a vacuum if they're if they're four and

358
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: six or three and seven and they're two games out,

359
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 3: or five and seven and they're two games out, rather

360
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: than out of it. Yeah, I think you got to

361
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: kind of hang in there. They if they come out

362
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: and go winless for six weeks, yeah, okay.

363
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: No, it's over already.

364
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, as long as you're in the conversation,

365
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 3: I don't think. Yeah, I just I just can't see it.

366
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 3: Those guys are with what they were handed, what they

367
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: did within that first year. And I know the lease

368
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: is short in New York, but you gotta hang it

369
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 3: at every turn day. Ball and Shane have done what's

370
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 3: best long term for that franchise. That's hard to do.

371
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: That's really hard to do as a GM and a

372
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: head coach in the NFL when everybody's on like this

373
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: three year plan and if you don't do it, you're done.

374
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 3: That's hard to make long term decisions and for the

375
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: good of the franchise in that environment. But they have

376
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 3: in my opinion.

377
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis's NFL career has

378
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: did before it even really started. The twenty four year

379
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: old informed the club of his intent to retire after

380
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: being medically advised to do so. Travis didn't play it down.

381
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: After being selected in the fifth round of the twenty

382
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: four NFL Draft after that gruesome leg injury he suffered

383
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: while quarterback at Florida State, his efforts to rehabilitate his

384
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: knee have not progressed to a point where he can

385
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: play the way he used to. Doctors have advised him

386
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: that football is not in his future, so he is

387
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: calling it a career. He's not the first, and unfortunately

388
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: he probably won't be the last, because even though a

389
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: lot of measures have been taken to make this sport

390
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: a lot safer for the people who play it, it's

391
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: still a very physical and still very much a collision sport.

392
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 2: And I remember when he suffered that knee injury. It

393
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: was not pretty. It's one of those ones that you

394
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: don't run a replay on. It was bad.

395
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: I it's and I know Bill's fans and fans around

396
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: like nobody knows who Jordan Travis is, right, I mean,

397
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: he's just a guy who got drafted. We don't know

398
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: a mood in And get to let me tell you something,

399
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: how hard that is for a kid to do, to

400
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: have the kind of success he did, going to a

401
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 3: Power five school, playing at Florida State and being able

402
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: to be good enough to be drafted by a pro

403
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: football team, having all your hopes and dreams on the horizon,

404
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 3: and having something like this happen to you where you

405
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 3: don't get to do it. Walking away from it is

406
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: really really difficult. We see a in my adult life,

407
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: we've seen probably a handful of guys walk away early

408
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: or without ever trying it. One of the guys I

409
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: got drafted with in Houston was I think a fifth

410
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: round draft pick or a third round draft pick by

411
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 3: the Houston Oilers my year. He goes, he sat down

412
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: with a coach, he goes, I don't want to play

413
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 3: because I just don't want to play. He walked away.

414
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 3: It happens, and it's really hard for some of these

415
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: guys to do it. And for a guy to do

416
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: it because of a knee injury that he couldn't come

417
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: back from, it's just got to be just heartbreaking for

418
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: him and his family. I feel for the guy.

419
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: I actually met him through a friend of a friend

420
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: and couldn't have been a nicer kid. You know, Yes, sir,

421
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: all that stuff really polite, engaging, not an air of,

422
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: you know, any kind of arrogance or anything. So yeah,

423
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: you just kind of feel for people that have hopes

424
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: and dreams like this. They get there and then they're told, hey,

425
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 2: you know what, it's over.

426
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: And out of and for stuff out of their control, right,

427
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: I mean certainly he said, and probably you know, he'd

428
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 3: probably did dive in one hundred percent on this rehab.

429
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: It just didn't go well enough and the injury was

430
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: just too severe.

431
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that is around the NFL. Not a tremendous

432
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: amount of stuff going on. But we do have a

433
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: topic of discussion for you, and we decided to kind

434
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: of take an over arching look at the off season

435
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: thus far for the Bills. So with that in mind,

436
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 2: our topic of discussion for you today is what is

437
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: your assessment of the Bills off season roster build? You

438
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: tell us eight oh three oh five fifty one eight

439
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty those are the

440
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 2: numbers to jump on board with us. We do have

441
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: open lines for you, and look, it's not done yet necessarily.

442
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: I mean, heck, we're waiting for the team to confirm

443
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 2: the signing of Elijah Moore, which just happened this week.

444
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: So the off season roster build, Brandon banb the first

445
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: to tell you is an ongoing process and sometimes runs

446
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: right up to training camp, especially if there's like a

447
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 2: major injury or something during June mini camp. So you

448
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: let us know. Though you've seen free agency, you've seen

449
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: the draft editions, you know this reported signing of Elijah Moore.

450
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: What is your assessment of the Bills off season roster

451
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: build eight oh three oh five point fifty won eight

452
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two five fifty the numbers to

453
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: jump on board, we should tell you a second hour

454
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 2: of our show, we're going to be joined by ESPN

455
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: NFL national insider Adam Schefter. He is going to be

456
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: part of a Bill's Mafia event tonight at Electric City

457
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 2: with Stevie Johnson as they have a little event and

458
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: discuss and reminisce about the creation of Bill's Mafia and

459
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: how it all started back in twenty ten. Schefter was

460
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: obviously a loose contributor to how that thing got started

461
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: in the first place. So we'll catch up with Adam

462
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 2: as he makes his way here to Buffalo tonight for

463
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: the event which he'll be a part of along with

464
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 2: Stevie Johnson. Because I think most people know Stevie's connection

465
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: to the start of Bill's Mafia, but maybe you're not

466
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: completely connected the dots with Adam Schefter, So we'll catch

467
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: up with him in the second hour of the show,

468
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: maybe even talk a little Elijah Moore as well, but

469
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: that's coming up later. Right now, it's your phone calls

470
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: at eight oh three h five point fifty one eight

471
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two five fifty the numbers to

472
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: get on board. What do you think, Steve, like, what's

473
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: kind of your assessment overarching? Look at the roster build

474
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: here this offseason.

475
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: Well with transposing it onto what they did last year

476
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: when the building seemed like it was vacant. They had

477
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 3: all those the guys we loved. Poyer and hy were

478
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: one and Tredavius was released and all those guys digs

479
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: got traded. It was pretty dark. This this group seems like, Wow,

480
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: I mean, let's go. It's like they shifted gears. Certainly,

481
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: it raises expectations. They got more athletic, they got more

482
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: proven at wide receiver than they were at this time

483
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: of year ago. I mean, we didn't know Mac Collins

484
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: was going to have the year he did. We didn't

485
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: know Shaki was going to be an elite receiver, like

486
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: a slot receiver like he was, and then you know

487
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: to boot on the defensive side, getting that young and

488
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 3: that's many, having that many bodies coming in with the

489
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: resumes that they do even though they're young players and rookies,

490
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 3: it's it's pretty promising. I'll say it again that that

491
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: draft hit the sweet spot for a lot of Bill

492
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: fans and their concerns about, you know, the defense, because

493
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: we all knew the defense was what the where the

494
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: questions lie? They just couldn't get a key stop when

495
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 3: they needed it. The only reason this team was relevant

496
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 3: last year was because this defense. Defense's ability to turn

497
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: the ball over, certainly Josh and the offense was it

498
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 3: was almost a given. By the end of the season,

499
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 3: you knew they were going to hang a thirty spot

500
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 3: on anybody, and the defense just need to get enough

501
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 3: stops to keep the team down that much and there

502
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: and the turnovers allowed them to do it. You'd rather

503
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: have them make the other team punt once in a

504
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: while rather than just give you the ball. Maybe this

505
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: crew can do that a little better than they were

506
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 3: able to last year. But man oh man, this I

507
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: thought the offseason so far has really hit the sweet

508
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: spot and addressed in a major way. Every single question

509
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 3: that even the close followers of this team had. I

510
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 3: think they had some. They've got some legitimate answers for

511
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 3: all the questions.

512
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: I mean, just looking at the free agent additions alone,

513
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: they've added two corners, a safety, defensive tackle, an edge rusher,

514
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 2: and an outside linebacker slash edge in Hoyt who's kind

515
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: of a versatile chess piece. And then they added three

516
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 2: wide receivers and a guard like that. Those are the

517
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 2: free agent editions alone. And then in the draft, to

518
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: your point, they go heavy defense with six of their

519
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: nine picks, and I think the roster is appreciably younger,

520
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: particularly on defense, although you know, you think about players

521
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: in players out, you know, Josh pal Moran, Mac Collins out.

522
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 2: You got younger and probably a little bit more athletic there,

523
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: and I think you added you add some speed, you know,

524
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: if the more deal goes through on offense, and I

525
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: think you're also faster and younger on defense.

526
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 3: They've only got eight wide outs on today. They've only

527
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: got eight roster. Eight guys on the roster officially at

528
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 3: wide out they almost need well, they need at least

529
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: five more, four if Moore does sign, maybe one more

530
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: if all three of the reported rookie free agents sign,

531
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: but man, oh man, at the top, there's gonna be

532
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: some competition for this. I mean, I think Curtis Samuel

533
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: probably is feeling it, Chaneau, Terrell Shavers and the you know,

534
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: all these guys kJ Hamler that it's a it's a

535
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 3: room that's gonna be really really tough to hang in

536
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: there at the bottom of and all the guys you

537
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 3: look around, those guys I just mentioned of all played

538
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: NFL snaps, So it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting

539
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 3: to see who elevates.

540
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight oh three, oh five point fifty one, eight

541
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two, five fifty the numbers to get

542
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: on board. As I tend to think younger, faster was

543
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: something they wanted on defense. I think they also wanted

544
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: to be bigger in the defensive front, and I think

545
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: they've accomplished that, and I think they still were looking

546
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: to add speed on offense. And I think that's why

547
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 2: More is very soon going to be in the fold here.

548
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: I looked it up. He clocked a four to three

549
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 2: five at the combine and he's only twenty five years old.

550
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: He just turned twenty five in March. I mean he's

551
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: still a young player, so speed is what they need

552
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 2: on offense. I know Palmer brings that to some degree,

553
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: but I would say more pretty much next to him

554
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: and Curtis Samuel probably the two fastest.

555
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: Here's my cake. I've been pounding this drum. Run, I've

556
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: been pounding this drum the whole thing. Yeah, you always

557
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: want more speed. The Dolphins want more speed. For crying

558
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: out loud, I don't think they need it. I mean,

559
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 3: they proved last year they're fine without it, and I

560
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: think the way they've structured this offense and built this offense,

561
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: particularly with Josh at quarterback, they're too much of a

562
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: problem for other teams. Other teams can't go deep. They're

563
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: good enough all the way across the board. And they've

564
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: got everybody to buy in to this. Everybody eats mentality

565
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: so that nobody's you know, nobody's crying foul in the

566
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: wide receiver room. If they go a game with eight

567
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: targets one week and one the next week, nobody cares,

568
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: and that puts pressure on the defense because they don't

569
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,239
Speaker 3: know who's gonna do it this week, and everybody's and

570
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: everybody's a possibility. Most defenses don't go deep enough on

571
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 3: their roster with quality defensive backs so they can man

572
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 3: up and have and be superior every place, because the

573
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: Bills are too good at the at the rest of

574
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: the spots. You know when you and when you've got

575
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: this guy over here. And I don't know why people

576
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: don't understand when you got this guy over here, you

577
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: got it a Brown or a Steph Diggs or or

578
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 3: T Higgins or a Chase Jamar Chase, one of these

579
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 3: A receivers, top fight receivers. The guy demands the ball.

580
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: He demands the ball, and he got to pay him

581
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: twenty eight or thirty. We took a thirty million dollars

582
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: cap hit not to have one of those. You just

583
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 3: you want it. Nobody expects the ball, but everybody can

584
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: get it. And the defense doesn't know what to expect then,

585
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: And it served them to the point where they've sent

586
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: a franchise record for points scored in the season right.

587
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: And I think it's a clear indication that there is

588
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: a philosophical shift here. That's where they're that's what they

589
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: believe they're going to win with on the field, weapons wise,

590
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: And if you I don't think it's changing.

591
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 3: It ain't changing.

592
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: Somebody, somebody on the roster may emerge into that, you know,

593
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: maybe Coleman becomes that. Yeah, sure, but they're not hunting

594
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: around to pay somebody over thirty million dollars a year

595
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: to do that.

596
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: They'll do it, Yeah, they'll do it. But even so,

597
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: I mean they're not They're not going back.

598
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: They're not. I don't think they are, because they had

599
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: a player who caught one hundred passes a year and

600
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: they never got there with that formula. So they're trying

601
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: this instead, and I think getting as far as they

602
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: did last year, they're convinced that they should keep going forward.

603
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: And that's why I think too Brandon Bean is signing

604
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: guys like Chaneau and Curtis Samuel and josh Palmer and

605
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: now Moore if he does you know today, if he signs,

606
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: they've got guys with who they have a set level

607
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: of experts. He's getting as many of those as he can.

608
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: Many who have been either like in the case of

609
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: Joshua Palmer, underutilized because he's played with Keenan Allen and

610
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: he's playing with.

611
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: What's there playing with the Jets and the Browns, right

612
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: you know what I.

613
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: Mean, right, So he's been underutilized just like Palmer has.

614
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: So I'm those are the guys. There's some kind competition

615
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: in this room, and I and people, you know, they

616
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: just because they don't know these guys are, haven't seen them,

617
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: or whatever whatever they think. And I've been going off

618
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: on fantasy football the last couple of days because all

619
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 3: these people are on this wide receiver train. They all

620
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: want to be able to put a buffal their favorite

621
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bill on their fantasy team, and that they don't.

622
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: They don't like doing it with James Cook. They don't

623
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 3: want they want a Buffalo Bill's wide receiver on their

624
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 3: fantasy team. So they're all verklemped that nobody's worth it

625
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: for them. And they don't like having a cheer for

626
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: another team because they don't have that that number one

627
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: wide receiver for Buffalo that they can put on their

628
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: team and cheer form twice.

629
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,840

640
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,800

641
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: Bill trying to take a ten thousand foot view of

642
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: the off season thus far and how the roster looks

643
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: as a result. So got some open lines for you there,

644
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: so be sure to hop on at your leisure. But

645
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: we lead off with Chuck and Hamburg.

646
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 5: What's up, Chuck, Chris, Steve, how you doing today?

647
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: Good?

648
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 6: You got to give the Bills, being in McDermott in aid.

649
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 6: They've addressed the noticeable deficiencies as they have done since

650
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 6: they've got here, from day one. They've gotten us so

651
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 6: spoiled now that they put an excellent product on the field,

652
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 6: and if we don't make it to the super Bowl,

653
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 6: we go down the road kicking our chin. So you

654
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 6: got to give them an ay. They're doing good.

655
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: Okay, you like just about everything, all right, fair enough,

656
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: thanks for the call. Look, they have done a lot

657
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 2: of good things. I mean, I think we knew what

658
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: the positional holes were when the season ended and who

659
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: we were expecting to move off of this roster. And

660
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: cornerback was a big hole that's been capably filled. Defensive

661
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: line depth at the very least, was something that had

662
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: to be addressed. That's been capably filled. Here's even safety.

663
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: You've added to the ranks there in free agency, and

664
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: then on offense, you know, people were thinking, oh, you

665
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 2: need a third tight end. Drafted one.

666
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, Brownie and I are sitting here, we're

667
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 3: on one Bills Live. You know we're not on one

668
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 3: Fans Live. And you know we we see and you

669
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 3: know we're we're on board with this team one hundred

670
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: percent all the time. The problem is this like last

671
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 3: year when the Bills were picked third or fourth in

672
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 3: the division and they lost all these guys and Da

673
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 3: DA and we didn't know who mac hollins was, and

674
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 3: they drafted Keon and traded down and missed out on

675
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 3: Worthy and traded with the cheat and they did everything

676
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 3: was wrong they did. You know, nothing was right we're

677
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 3: gonna take a step back. It was a nice run.

678
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 3: We're wasting Josh Allen the whole thing. And now twelve

679
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: months later we went the NFC Championship. Josh is the MVP.

680
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 3: Their geniuses. Here we go and a lot of what

681
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 3: the good things happened didn't even have anything to do

682
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 3: with Brandon Bean and the you know, they did everything

683
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 3: they could, but there's so much out of their control.

684
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 3: We don't how these games are gonna go. And they

685
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: could this in my estimation, this offseason, those guys are

686
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: getting kudos for what they did last offseason when they

687
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 3: they everybody thought they were gonna finish third. I mean,

688
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: think about that for a minute. The same guys, and

689
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 3: last year they had to say cut that guy, cut

690
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 3: that guy, cut that guy, let that guy go, and

691
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: everybody's like, oh, they're gonna take a sip, and they're

692
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: wasting Josh there, you know. And then they turn out

693
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 3: that they knew what they were doing, They got the

694
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 3: right guys, they coached them up, and they went further

695
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: than they had gone in four years. You know, they

696
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: won another division title. So now they've done everything right.

697
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: Everybody loves it. Like I was saying the draft scrashing it.

698
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: They did every man, the fans are all but am

699
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 3: I crazy thing? Now we're done, We're sunk the whole season.

700
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 3: We've won the off season. We're back with Rex rying right, We've.

701
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: Won the off season. It's awesome.

702
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 7: Man.

703
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 3: It just makes me want to bang my head up

704
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: against the wall because I don't know how this is

705
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 3: gonna turn out. Because I'm with you. I love these

706
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: guys that they've signed, these guys, and I got high

707
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 3: hopes for Joshua Palmer. I think that guy is a

708
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 3: fine I think he's gonna end this. Elijah Moore, he

709
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 3: same thing. They look great and with Shakir now fully

710
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 3: formed and functional, and Kincaid coming back and fully healthy,

711
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 3: and the offensive line deep and talented, big young offensive

712
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 3: defensive line, I mean, it's like, all right, let's go.

713
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, man, that's famous last words. You know, that's

714
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 3: just it's not really, it's not a I don't think

715
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: this is like a Buffalo phenomenon where we.

716
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: Expect everybody.

717
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 3: So different. Going last year, they couldn't do anything right

718
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: and they and they almost knocked it out of the park.

719
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: I mean they were a fourth down spot away from

720
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 3: you know, extending the season and now they're doing everything

721
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 3: right and it's like, I don't know, maybe this may

722
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 3: be it. I can't tell yet.

723
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 2: Let's see what Tom on the west side thinks next.

724
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 2: What's up Tom?

725
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, quick update? No rain yesterday, expected something today

726
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 5: right by the peace break, by the way, so I

727
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 5: get that Lake Shadow. I think Bean has done what

728
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 5: Bean does every year. He's drafted well, he's signed free

729
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 5: agents well, he's bringing in guys that are gonna help us.

730
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 5: And I think Elijah Moore is going to be a

731
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 5: good signing as long as he signs because he's not

732
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 5: a diva. He's never had a good quarterback. Granted, he

733
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 5: was in in New York two years ago, but Aaron

734
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 5: Rodgers went down, he got traded, he went to Cleveland.

735
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 5: They didn't have anybody in Cleveland, but he had his

736
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 5: best year ever in Cleveland. I think he could perform

737
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 5: I'll perform last year or at least match it with

738
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 5: everybody eats mentality and as far as everybody, all the

739
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 5: media pundits saying that Bean didn't draft early on a

740
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 5: wide receiver. He just got a Round two pick. As

741
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 5: far as the defense goes, everybody said, we had a

742
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 5: top five, top ten defense before and it disappeared. So

743
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 5: now they're trying to build the defense back up when

744
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 5: we have the number one offense in the NFL. Go

745
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 5: ahead and talk about it, guys.

746
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know that there's much to

747
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 2: disagree with there, Tom, I mean, yeah, when you say

748
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 2: number one, you're talking about scoring number one scoring offense,

749
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: even though I think there was one team that I

750
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: think Detroit debited more points per game in the regular season.

751
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: By the end of the playoffs, though the Bills had

752
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: scored the most points in the league. Yeah, so it

753
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: logics steered everyone. If you just looked at the roster

754
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 2: and the performance of the team, it naturally steered you

755
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: in the direction of the defense because that was the

756
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: side of the ball that needed a lot more fixing.

757
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: And so the approach that Brandon Bean took this offseason

758
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: and building the roster back up made a lot of sense,

759
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: both at the outset of free agency and the outset

760
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 2: of the draft. Defense was a focus. So I think

761
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: we all anticipated that to what degree was more of

762
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: a wait and see, But now it's readily apparent that

763
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: they wanted to attack it. Time and time and time again,

764
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 2: because that has been the bulk of the offseason built

765
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: without question. Yeah, let's go to Nick in North Carolina. Next,

766
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 2: what's up Nick?

767
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 8: Hello, Chris, Steve, how you guys?

768
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 5: Doing good?

769
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 3: Doing good?

770
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 5: Steve?

771
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 8: First off, can I just say the fact that you're

772
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 8: not in the Hall of Fame, it's a shame on

773
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 8: the NFL.

774
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it. Thanks, don't lose sleep over it.

775
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 8: So a couple of things and a quick story at

776
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 8: the end, which is a pretty cool story. I love

777
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 8: Elijah Moore signs. I think this guy has the talent

778
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 8: of a step On Diggs. I think this is an

779
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 8: easily a thousand yard receiver, one of the best in

780
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 8: the game. He just has never played on a good

781
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 8: football team.

782
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 5: And Steve, even.

783
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 8: Though I love you, you're my brother. I keep hearing

784
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 8: everybody say what kind of season Matt Collins had and

785
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 8: correct me if I'm wrong. He only caught three hundred

786
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 8: yarders in a couple of touchdowns the entire seasons. So

787
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 8: if you average that out over eighteen games, like Steve says,

788
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 8: you could get Billy back of Donuts to do that.

789
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: Well, he actually yeah, he actually led the team in

790
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 2: receiving touchdowns, Nick with five now again with a very

791
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: democratic distribution of passing touchdowns, but he did leave the

792
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 2: team in receiving touchdowns, and I think he was probably

793
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: their best blocking receiver in the run game, and you

794
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: saw what the run game did last year. And he

795
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 2: also played on special teams, so I think collectively, look,

796
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 2: still a role player. Won't disagree with you, Nick, You're

797
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: right though, still a role player.

798
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 3: You're right though, I think the Elijah Moore and Josh

799
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 3: Palmer are going to be better options of wide receiver

800
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 3: as pass catchers than mac Hollins was able to be.

801
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 8: Yes, I agree. And the quick story before I let

802
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 8: you go, So, I'm originally from cheek Towaga, moved to

803
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 8: North Carolina, married, had kids, the whole nine yarris blah

804
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 8: blah blah. Well, my wife and my kids had never

805
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 8: been to Buffalo, so they went up there probably I

806
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 8: don't know, three weeks ago, three and a half weeks ago,

807
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 8: and just you know, shopped around getting to know Buffalo.

808
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 8: I wasn't there, I wasn't able to go, and so

809
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 8: they decided to go into Target to see what kind

810
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 8: of bills gear they had there and they really unfortunately

811
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 8: didn't have anything. But they ran into aj Svanessa, which

812
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 8: is pretty cool, and so they recognized him. But he

813
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 8: was a nice enough guy in his in his own

814
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 8: time to you know, take pictures and sign autographs. And

815
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 8: I thought it was a really cool thing that a

816
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 8: lot of these Bills players are really even during their

817
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 8: off time half time for US fans.

818
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: So, yeah, cool story to be surprised. Thanks for the call, Nick.

819
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 3: A little surprised he didn't have enough Bills gear in

820
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 3: the target.

821
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: Well, you gotta go to the store, the bill store. Yeah,

822
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 2: gotta go to the bill store. Got everything you need

823
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: over there. We are up against the clock, so we

824
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 2: got to take a break here, but more of your

825
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: phone calls when we come back. Mark an Orchard Park's

826
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: gonna lead us off as we are asking you, what

827
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 2: is your assessment of the Bills off season roster build

828
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 2: Might not be over, but most of the hay is

829
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 2: in the barn. Tell us what you think here on

830
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: one Bill's Live presented by Colid of Health, It's Buffalo

831
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: Bills Radio. What is your assessment of the Bills off

832
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 2: season roster bild thus far? Let us know At eighto

833
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty one eight eight eight, five fifty two,

834
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: five fifty the numbers to get on board, got open

835
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: lines for you there. It's been generally positive for the

836
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: most part, I think. And you know, when you got

837
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 2: a front office that's plugging a lot of the popular

838
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: positional holes of fans, you get good reviews. Yeah, I mean,

839
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: we're no rotten tomatoes.

840
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 3: But you know the problem is it never has any

841
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 3: Like I said earlier, I don't know if it has

842
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: much to do with how it really goes once the

843
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 3: season kicks it off. We've seen both last year they

844
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: they were getting hammered and they're gonna finish third or

845
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 3: fourth in the division. Yeah, all that, and then they

846
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 3: end up going to the AFC Championship.

847
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: Few years ago when they signed Vaughn it's like.

848
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 3: They're going to the ball that's right. Yeah, so you

849
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: just never know.

850
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and go to market

851
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:36,959
Speaker 2: Orchard Park next. What's up Mark?

852
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 4: Hello?

853
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 5: How are you good?

854
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 9: Uh? See you in Buffalo? Might be chili, But what

855
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 9: I'm going to just say is, you know, I've been

856
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 9: watching this game for a long time and what Brandon

857
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 9: Bean has done now, I think he has assembled the

858
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 9: best player at all the positions. We might be a

859
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 9: little weak at lyingbacker, but the individuals that we brought in.

860
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 9: I haven't seen this since you know, Steve Tasker played back,

861
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 9: you know, with Martin le Vy, and I just think

862
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 9: they finally will get over to hunt the individuals that

863
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 9: they have. Yes, we got to hope that we don't

864
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 9: have injuries, and you know, obviously Josh Allen's a big thing,

865
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 9: but it's like that for anything. So now bringing in

866
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 9: Elijah Morris, he signs that this team, this team can

867
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 9: now compete with Philadelphia.

868
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: All Right, that's a heck of an assessment, knowing they're

869
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,479
Speaker 2: the defending Super Bowl champs.

870
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna get a chance to find out. You'll

871
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 3: find out too, Philly's coming to town. And yeah, it's

872
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: I say over the years, you can do everything right

873
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 3: for all the right reasons, and Brandon bean Has can

874
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 3: do everything right now, but you know, you get the

875
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 3: wrong guy to get injured at the wrong time, or

876
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 3: two guys get injured at the wrong time, and you know,

877
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 3: in all derails, and there's so much that you can't control.

878
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 3: In the NFL. We all know that I've this this

879
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 3: organization along with along with a handful of others, have

880
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 3: been good enough to go to and win the Super

881
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 3: Bowl for five years. But there's so much that you

882
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 3: can't control. You never know if it's going to be enough.

883
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 3: That's just the way it is. There's any number of

884
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 3: things that could have derailed Philly last year on their

885
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 3: run in Kansas City, same thing. I mean, you think

886
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 3: about what Kansas City went through, even when they were

887
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 3: playing Buffalo. One thing happens to them and they're done.

888
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 3: There are seasons, that's what happens. When you get into

889
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 3: this place where you're good enough you start playing the playoffs,

890
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 3: you're going against a really good team who is also

891
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 3: good enough or let.

892
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 2: Alone playing a first place schedule every year from winning

893
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 2: the division.

894
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: That's right, and the Bills are that's their wheelhouse. Hey,

895
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 3: you look at the Bills schedule this year and.

896
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,959
Speaker 2: It'll it's a gaune. Look, especially at home.

897
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 3: It'll make your heart shrink. I mean, it's like, oh man,

898
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 3: it's rough. The home schedule for Buffalo is a marquee

899
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 3: schedule in three divisions, and you go Ravens, Bengals, Saints, Bucks,

900
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 3: Chiefs Eagles, the Chiefs, Eagles, Buccaneers, Bucks, won, Bengles Ravens,

901
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

902
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: Bucks won the division, Chiefs won the division, Eagles won

903
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: the division, Baltimore won the division.

904
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 3: The Bengals were supposed to go to They had Super

905
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: Bowl aspiration last year before they started zero to four

906
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 3: or whatever it was. And it's unbelievable that those were

907
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: all and there's six playoff teams in the on the schedule,

908
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 3: it's rough. It is a rough, rough home schedule.

909
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, be glad it's rough at home. And yeah, so

910
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 2: you know if they went ten and oh there last year,

911
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 2: let's not forget.

912
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 3: And we're getting the feet. I mean, we're talking about

913
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 3: the what you think of the Bills offseason, how Brandon

914
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 3: Bean did and all this and what there's plan was,

915
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 3: how they executed it, and we're getting a lot of

916
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 3: you know, positive responses today. Yeah, I wish we'd get

917
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 3: some guarantees.

918
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think we all know that's not how it

919
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: works in the NF. Let's go to Bill and Clarence next.

920
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 2: What's up, Bill, Hi.

921
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 4: Chris and Steve. I think one area that hasn't been

922
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 4: discussed on the offseason build is the special teams. Okay,

923
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 4: there's I think, you know between the new coach, Chris Taber,

924
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: and the number of defensive players that were drafted. I

925
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 4: think this will help our special teams. This is especially

926
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 4: important for the Bills because with the new kickoff rules,

927
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 4: there's going to be twice as many kickoff returns, and

928
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 4: since the Bills are the highest scoring team or near

929
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 4: the highest scoring team in the league, they're going to

930
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 4: have the most kickoff returns to defend. So I think

931
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 4: it's important that they've made some strides in this area.

932
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point, Bill, I can't dismiss that one.

933
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 2: And you're also gonna need two returners for kick return

934
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: There's too much of the field to cover in that

935
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: landing zone to have only one return man, so you're

936
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: gonna have to have two. And I think that's part

937
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 2: of the reason Leviska Shenlt is here, because he is

938
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 2: an accomplished kick returner, so I would anticipate he and

939
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 2: Brandon Codrington will be the odds on favorites to fill

940
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 2: that role. But yeah, your point is well taken. I mean,

941
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 2: You're guys aren't gonna be running jogging through the end

942
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: zone on kickoffs anymore. There will be returns and guys

943
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: will have to get down there and tackle.

944
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 3: And it's a good point by you. I mean, the

945
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 3: Bills score a ton of points, they're gonna have to

946
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 3: cover a lot of kicks, and Chris Taber will make

947
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 3: a difference. I'm sure you and this team, you're gonna

948
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 3: have a lot of new faces covering kicks. It's there's

949
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: a lot in that. I don't know what it's going

950
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 3: to look like yet. I don't think anybody else does either,

951
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: But the kickoff return kickoff coverage is a big aspect

952
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 3: of what's going to be new and different about the

953
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: league this year with a thirty five yard touchback.

954
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 2: But Tabor is a respected veteran special teams coach. The

955
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 2: Bills have not had a special teams coordinator that has

956
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 2: done it somewhere else in the league like taking this

957
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 2: job with prior special teams coaching experience at the coordinator

958
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: level in the NFL since Danny Crossman in twenty eighteen,

959
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 2: it's been a minute. So having a veteran guy who, oh,

960
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 2: by the way, was studying everything that the rest of

961
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 2: the league was doing last year, while you know, sitting

962
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: in his home office, probably has some ideas formulated as

963
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: to what he wants to experiment and try, you know,

964
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 2: through the course of OTA's mini camp and training camp

965
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 2: and even the preseason. So I'm intrigued with what a

966
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 2: veteran special teams coordinator is going to be able to

967
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: bring to the table. I feel as though the Bills

968
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: are going to be able to dictate a little bit

969
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 2: more in that phase of the game rather than just

970
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 2: trying to hold their water, so to speak. Gotta take

971
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 2: a break here, Our number two coming your way. We'll

972
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,439
Speaker 2: catch up with ESPN's Adam Schefter a little bit later

973
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 2: in our number two more of your phone calls when

974
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 2: we return here on One Bill's Live, presented by coll

975
00:51:14,040 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 2: Oude of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

976
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by CALLLIGHTA help.

977
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 2: All right, Our number two here, and it's kind of

978
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 2: take an overarching looked at the offseason in terms of

979
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 2: the roster bill thus far and your assessment of it

980
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 2: at eight oh three h five fifty one eight eight

981
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five fifty Chris Brown, Steve tasked

982
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 2: with you as always, and we do want to head

983
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 2: right back to the phones as we'll be character catching

984
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 2: up with ESPN National Insider for the NFL Adam Schefter

985
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 2: in just a little bit. But in the meantime, we

986
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 2: go to Cleveland in Niagara Falls. What do you got

987
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 2: for us? Cleveland?

988
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 10: Hey, what's going on? I mean, I'll always feel good

989
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 10: about what Bean does and Dermott I don't. I mean,

990
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 10: I just I stand behind those guys a hundred percent.

991
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 10: I think Elijah Moore is going to uh surprise some

992
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 10: folks because I think he's a really good route runner.

993
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 10: I think he's like in the top half in the

994
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 10: league as far as rout runners go. And one thing

995
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 10: I think that goes under said is like one of

996
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 10: the things is that the Patriots their dynasty. If you

997
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 10: look at their dynasty, like especially in those first three years,

998
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 10: one of the things that they had going for themselves

999
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 10: is the continuity of that offensive line. And I think

1000
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 10: that our offensive line has headed in that direction where

1001
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 10: they're playing together, stand together. I think if I'm not

1002
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 10: mistake and correct me if I'm wrong. Our offensive line

1003
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 10: coach is Aaron Kromer, and he's like regarded as one

1004
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 10: of the best in the league. And that tackle that

1005
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 10: we drafted, I didn't get to really check out anything

1006
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 10: about him, but I heard him talk and it's something

1007
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 10: like he's willing to do whatever it takes. So I

1008
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 10: wonder if he's able to kick inside also as well.

1009
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 10: Add to the depth of that line. And do you

1010
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 10: guys think our offensive line is underrated or maybe rated

1011
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 10: right where they're supposed to be. So I think they're

1012
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 10: one of the best in the league and don't get

1013
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 10: that credit. I think the Detroit Lions offensive line gets

1014
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 10: off the credit. The coach line is really good, but

1015
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 10: I think our offensive line is really they have an

1016
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 10: argument for being one of the best in the league.

1017
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's fair Cleveland. I think Philly

1018
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 2: is widely considered to have the best offensive line in

1019
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 2: the league. San Francisco was up there for a while,

1020
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 2: but they've lost some people, and the Colts lost two

1021
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: of their starters. They lost Ryan Kelly in free agency

1022
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 2: to Minnesota as well as their guard who went up

1023
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 2: there as well. They do have a young center in

1024
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: the pipeline to replace him. But I think the Bills

1025
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 2: have a top three offensive line in football. To your

1026
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 2: question about Chase Lunt, I asked Brandon Bean, where is

1027
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 2: he going to start? Because at six', eight believe it or,

1028
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: not he only has thirty two and a half inch,

1029
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 2: arms which is short for a six to eight. Player

1030
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 2: and he even said on his conference, call some teams

1031
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 2: have talked about me kicking inside to, guard But Brandon

1032
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 2: bean said they're going to start him at tackle and

1033
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,439
Speaker 2: let him work out. There but as we, know Coach

1034
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 2: Cromer cross trains a lot of his players at multiple,

1035
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 2: positions SO i would imagine he's going to get some

1036
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 2: snaps at guard. Too the concern is at six' eight

1037
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 2: the leverage you need at guard has to be even

1038
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: more sound there than on the edge at tackle because

1039
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 2: you're dealing with in, many, cases shorter. Stockier players so

1040
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 2: you got to get your pad level even lower to

1041
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 2: be effective in the leverage game at guard than you do. A,

1042
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 2: tackle yeah playing tackle is used in a little bit

1043
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: more of a phone booth down inside.

1044
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,439
Speaker 3: AT guard i mean, at tackle you're outside and, there's

1045
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 3: space you got the sidelines and the guy can run out.

1046
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:31,240
Speaker 3: Around you inside you can't do that. So much it'll

1047
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 3: come down to how the how the guy plays at

1048
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 3: both spots and who's there with. Him, competing certainly at, six'

1049
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 3: eighties he's gonna have the physicality to. Get it done

1050
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 3: and you talk to players who play against and, with

1051
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 3: long arms they tell you it's a. It's an advantage

1052
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 3: it's it's every bit as important as your weight is,

1053
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 3: at offensive line.

1054
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 2: But it's it's gonna be a battle on the back

1055
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 2: half of the depth chart at. The tackle Position Because,

1056
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 2: if tyland grable last year's, six round pick who won

1057
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 2: the swing tackle job, as a rookie He Beat, out

Speaker 3: Got this guy lunt who is killing, it for us

1078
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 3: but we just can't get on the field, because you

1079
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 3: Know We've got Spencer brown and dion and other, teams,

1080
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 3: will say well what do you? Want for him. AND that's,

1081
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 3: it i mean you just you kind of use those assets.

1082
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 3: To get more so that's a possibility because brand and

1083
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 3: are sitting here going these guys are they're really have

1084
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 3: some good offensive line, And. You're right cleveland, THEIR offensive

1085
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 3: line i think is. A little underrated a little bit

1086
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 3: of it Is. Because of josh josh is the hardest

1087
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 3: quarterback in the. League, to sack statistically he gets sacked,

1088
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 3: less than anybody, and, you'd think wow the offensive line,

1089
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 3: should get Well everybody gives josh the credit for that

1090
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 3: instead of. The offensive line even though it's happened the last,

1091
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 3: two years yeah even though it's the last two years.

1092
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 3: In a, row so. YEAH you're right i think they are.

1093
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 3: A little underrated It's, not all, josh you know and

1094
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 3: this is, a team also and let's not forget they

1095
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 3: run it. Half the time they don't just drop back,

1096
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 3: and throw IT so they're i. AGREE with you i

1097
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 3: think they're underrated and they're. Very, very good yeah.

1098
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 2: If not elite you'll let us know what your assessment

Speaker 2: No's ball happy we did not make a major short

1121
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 2: sighted trade for an aging and EXPENSIVE player like Dk Metcalf.

1122
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 2: Or Miles garrett obviously i'd Love to have garrett, in

1123
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 2: a vacuum, but getting younger cheaper and improving depth gives

1124
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 2: us a better chance To Win. The, SUPER bowl yeah

1125
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 2: i don't know if you want to.

1126
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,840

Speaker 3: cap but right he.

1130
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 2: Makes you better there is something to be said about an,

1131
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 2: influx of youth because they did that on the offensive

1132
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 2: side of THE ball to i think to a greater

1133
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 2: degree than they did on. Defense last year. And what

1134
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 2: happened the offense kind of took off and the defense

1135
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 2: struggled and dealt with some. Injuries AS well and i

1136
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 2: think they felt they had to get younger and faster on.

1137
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 2: Defense AS well and i think they've done that to a.

1138
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 2: CERTAIN degree already i still think they needed to add

1139
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 2: more speed on, the offensive side and more is an,

1140
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 2: example of that provided that. All goes through. So they're

1141
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: trying they're just not trying to do it, with high

1142
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 2: ticket big budget items that you have, to.

1143
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 3: OVERPAY for, right i, Mean You know quentin. Jefferson has

Speaker 2: Pulling it together, even last year when there were more

1164
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 2: new pieces than maybe ever Before in the, bean McDermott

1165
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 2: era they were able to pull that all together and

1166

01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 3: you were moving remember we were all we were. All

1173
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 3: we had everybody was clutching Their pearls over connor McGovern

1174
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 3: moving to center. Instead of. GUARD remember, that i mean

1175
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 3: that's that's where we. Were last year. Think about it,

1176
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 3: THEY were like, i don't, Know You know DAVID edwards

1177
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 3: and i, guess you know they they had an idea

1178
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 3: that was, on a plan and they knew their guys and,

1179
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 3: they trusted them and those guys came, through for him almost.

1180
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 3: To a man if that happens again this year with

1181
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 3: the raised, level of athleticism particularly at the skill positions,

1182
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 3: offensively and defensively With Guys like mac, harriston, and those

1183
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 3: yeah it's gonna look like a. Different football team that's,

1184
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 3: gonna you know you see the ripple effects. Of all

1185
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 3: this what it's going to do is we've had this

1186
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 3: conversation a little bit earlier in the week or. Maybe

1187
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 3: last week the ripple Effect Of what bobby babbage is

1188
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 3: going to be able to do defensively with different athletes

1189
01:02:54,800 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 3: on the field will hopefully. REAP better results i think.

1190
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 3: They were little they felt a little bit, limited at

1191
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 3: times some of us, because of injuries some of us

1192
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 3: because you, know the youths, some of, us you know.

1193
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 3: Guys getting fit THEY just felt i think they were

1194
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 3: limited and what they wanted to do and, felt confident

1195
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 3: doing they had to send more than four guys to get,

1196
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 3: pressure too much and it. It hamstrung them it, really

1197
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 3: hamstrung them and and it showed in the back end

1198
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 3: as well. As The front so i'm, getting more athletic

1199
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 3: bigger and, more physical upfront and faster and stickier on. The,

1200
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 3: OUTSIDE defensively yeah i think it's going to. Reap different results.

1201
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Nate, on the, tweets she says, DESPITE some concerns i

1202
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 2: think the upside of what's been done on. DEFENSE is

1203
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 2: huge i wish we could keep all of the guys

1204
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 2: and just smashed teams. Play, after play yeah if you

1205
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 2: could keep a, roster of ninety, that'd, Be nice right

1206
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 2: but that's just not in the cards.

1207
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 3: As we know as we could keep ninety and, nobody

1208
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 3: else could that'd.

1209
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 2: Be really good, but you know you got to get down,

1210
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 2: to fifty Three and like steve, alluded to earlier there

1211
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 2: are gonna be a lot of difficult decisions that are

1212
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 2: going to have, to be made not only in terms

1213
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 2: of who's, on the roster but how how many are

1214
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 2: you carrying at one position over another if you really

1215
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 2: want to keep. An extra here, like last, year for

1216
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 2: example they kept ten defensive alignment on the fifty three

1217
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 2: man roster and very. Often dressed nine are you, doing

1218
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 2: that again or is there another position that has suddenly? Flushed.

1219
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 2: With talent, that you know if you leave somebody on,

1220
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 2: the practice squad they're getting poached and then they're. Gone

1221
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 2: for nothing or do you decide this guy we'd like

1222
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 2: to have him, on our roster. He can't fit what

1223
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 2: should we should we get an asset for him in

1224
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 2: return instead of just letting him go and work and.

1225
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Play and excel for another.

1226
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 3: It'd be nice too if they got a rotation of

1227
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 3: seven or eight guys at the defensive line and, they

1228

1354
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 7: Well, i think again it's it's a low risk deal

1355
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 7: on a wide receiver who's. Got SOME upside and I

1356
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 7: know that bills fans Seem To want brandon bean as,

1357
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 7: he pointed out to take a wide, receiver early on

1358
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 7: and they didn't get, a wide receiver but they. Helped

1359
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 7: the defense they dedicated the draft of the defense and

1360
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 7: got some really good young. Talent in there and when

1361
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 7: they didn't get, the wide receiver they went out in Free,

1362
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 7: agency and dredd you know inside, the wide receiver reached

1363
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 7: agreement with the wide receiver that. Has some potential it

1364
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 7: can help this offense and should fit right in with

1365
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 7: all the other wide receivers that.

1366
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:11,880

1409
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,040

1410
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 2: Happy bill's fan, brian says great a clearly higher floor with.

1411
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 2: Tons of upside Fans raved about chenault and more. In

1412
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 2: Their drafts healthy bosa five early picks on a defense

1413
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,599
Speaker 2: that's been perennially inadequate. In The playoff good Teams eight

1414
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 2: challenged oliver the wide receivers and brought a pulse. To

1415
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 2: the secondary that's a that's a pretty. Complete, comfort VIEW yeah,

1416
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 2: AND i see i don't disagree with. Much, of, That,

1417
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 2: yeah yeah hi what do you think? About higher floor?

1418
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 2: TONS of, upside i mean obviously the youth has tons

1419
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:06,919
Speaker 2: of upside.

1420
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 3: BECAUSE it's growth I don't higher i don't KNOW about

1421
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 3: the d line because you knew what you were gonna

1422
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 3: get with veteran guys Like We, Talked Jordan, phillips daikwon jones.

1423
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 3: All those guys so you and you don't know how

1424
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 3: you know what the floor is for some of. These

1425
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 3: young guys AND on, the d line you Do, know

1426
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 3: with bosa you Do, know with hoyds you Do Know

1427
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,640
Speaker 3: with ogan joby. And those guys but you know the

1428
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 3: two are out, for six weeks. So we'll see, but,

1429
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 3: you know yeah you would think that the floor even

1430
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 3: with those guys out for six weeks when This season

1431
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 3: gets revenan gets, In, the playoffs yeah your floor. Will

1432
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 3: be higher and that's to say nothing to the upside

1433
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 3: of the young guys bring. So, we'll see yeah you

1434
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 3: can make a. Case for that. The higher floor experience

1435
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,639
Speaker 3: always tells you what, your floor is and these guys

1436
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 3: got a lot of these guys, don't have it and especially.

1437
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 2: The draft classes, not only that but the new pieces

1438
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 2: have to, Fit together too like you can have a

1439
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 2: piece over here that's got, a high floor but how

1440
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 2: does he mesh with this guy that is gonna be

1441
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 2: lining up next to and? Does that work and what's

1442
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 2: the floor? Of that collectively so that's. The other thing

1443
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 2: it's not, just individual floors, it's a unit, a position.

1444
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,599
Speaker 2: Group et cetera andrew on the, tweets, sheet says well, they, got,

1445
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 2: younger healthier. Faster and bigger being new that he had

1446
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 2: to change the, atmosphere a bit. ESPECIALLY on defense i

1447
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 2: believe that he did with the free agents. And draft

1448
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 2: picks now it's up to the players to go out

1449
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 2: and compete, for starting roles and that will be when

1450
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 2: the rubber, Meets the road like who is in the

1451
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 2: starting lineup? At, the outset, yes we know the, defensive

1452
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 2: line rotates so a lot of guys will play there

1453
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 2: everywhere else not so much with the possible exception of

1454
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 2: how they use their sub packages with big, nickel three,

1455
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 2: safeties you know whatever they want. To do there that's

1456
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 2: really the only other substituting that's going to be going

1457
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 2: on on. A, regular basis so but starting jobs will

1458
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:01,759
Speaker 2: be up for grabs at a few, positions on defense

1459
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 2: outside corner being probably the, most prominent one and there

1460
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 2: could be an early down, edge rusher position defensive end

1461
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 2: position that's, up for Grabs Knowing that joey bosa is

1462
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 2: probably going to be a pass, rush specialist only so

1463
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 2: you'll need an. Early down.

1464
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 3: Guy it's interesting they're gonna put this together like they

1465
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 3: always do in. Every team always this isn't. Just the

1466
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 3: build every team puts it together from. The ground up

1467
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 3: you got a couple of things you. Can depend on

1468
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 3: want to be, your offensive lineman the five that started

1469
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 3: last year that, are Coming Back and, Josh cook, Yeah

1470
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 3: shakir yeah, kincaid knocks okay and then you go you

1471
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 3: go to, the Defensive Side, it's rousseau epanessa, you know ed.

1472
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 2: And.

1473
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 3: That's about It You, Know Bernard milano dorian williams and,

1474
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 3: the safety room which is a. Little bit, different so

1475
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 3: yeah there's a. Lot of questions but you're talking about

1476
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 3: ninety guys that are to come gonna. COME to camp

1477
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 3: i mentioned ten that you, can depend on that that we,

1478
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,600
Speaker 3: kind of know and, there's you know SOME more that i,

1479
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 3: can get to but it's. Not that many you're.

1480
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 2: Gonna build it from, the, ground up right but they're

1481
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 2: they're building from a higher Building, block than yes.

1482
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 3: They got a lot of. Things they got even having,

1483
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 3: said all that the, continuity is there the offensive line

1484
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 3: room and the tight ends and, THE wide receiver i

1485
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 3: mean the running. BACKS for sure i mean this is

1486
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:33,680
Speaker 3: is pretty cohesive group and a group that has got

1487
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 3: a season. Under their belt. The linebacking corps it's not very,

1488
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 3: many guys there and they've all been there, for, A, Year.

1489
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,639
Speaker 2: Right yeah Because andresen and ulafocio were the new, ads

1490
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:44,799
Speaker 2: last year they now have a year. Under their belt

1491
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 2: and we'll see.

1492
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 3: Where That means DeMar hamlin is the veteran in the

1493
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 3: room in the safety spot.

1494
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 2: In terms of being. Here, the longest yes four years under,

1495
01:18:54,960 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 2: his belt now and that's another position and that's probably

1496
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 2: gonna LOOK different Because i think bishop is going to

1497
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 2: push to start rap started last year and he's probably

1498
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 2: an incumbent that is going to stay. Where he, is,

1499
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 2: so yeah well and. Not the benefit they won't Be Pushed,

1500
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 2: by derek, forrest you know.

1501

Speaker 3: should those two guys give. You some help and, it's

1508

1512
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 3: roster expect there's going to be some very new faces

1513
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 3: making some. Very big contributions and that's where you, Start,

1514
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 3: to think okay that's, a it's look the, ceiling looks

1515
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 3: great but you really don't know how far. The, floor, is.

1516
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah and you and you really don't know what

1517
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 2: the ceiling is, going.

1518
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 3: To BE even though i mean the ceiling could be

1519
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 3: it could be, OFF the, charts, i mean.

1520
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah or the ceiling might not get reached, until next

Speaker 3: Okay my.

1541
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 2: POINT appreciate Him i think harriston has a chance to be.

1542
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 2: A game changer half of his interceptions in college went for,

1543
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 2: not only.

1544
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:56,679
Speaker 3: Interceptions, but touchdowns, yeah he's well he had a couple

1545
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 3: that were thrown into his bread baskets that, were.

1546
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 2: Pretty easy but he jumped him around in return something

1547
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 2: and he had two.

1548
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 3: In, one game yeah he.

1549
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 2: Was six interceptions in.

1550
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 3: COLLEGE for touchdowns i like him because when you watch

1551
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:12,679
Speaker 3: him play like this, ONE we're watching i don't, know who's,

1552
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 3: against but man he saw it passed, a guy off

1553
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 3: stayed in his zone and just. Jumped the route. Just

1554
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,520
Speaker 3: look great and then this is Against This against matthew, golden.

1555
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 2: Right Here That's actually. Isaiah bond there?

1556
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 3: Oh? Is It okay isaiah bond another guy that Got.

1557
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 3: Drafted from texas one of Those guys that, bill's you

1558
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 3: know fans. Were looking at he just outran him and.

1559
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 3: Knocked it away.

1560
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 2: Harmless talented player really actually, didn't get drafted but. WE

1561
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,560
Speaker 2: didn't know i thought domestic violence.

1562
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 3: Charge, that okay yeah he had, off the field so he.

1563
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,560
Speaker 2: Didn't get drafted so it'd be interesting to see in

1564
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 2: the coming weeks if somebody decides to. Pick him, UP

1565
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 2: but Yeah i think harrison has the ability to be.

1566
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 2: A GAME changer but i, Understand. Your point mike a

1567
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 2: lot of. Very good players but here's the thing you,

1568
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 2: have to remember especially with. The draft class we said

1569
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 2: all along that the general consensus on the draft class

1570
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 2: as a whole was it was. A starter's draft you'll

1571
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 2: be able to get, starting caliber players but the number

1572
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 2: of superstar game changing type players was limited to about

1573
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 2: seven or eight in. The entire class now some may

1574
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 2: emerge and, become that also but in terms of, sure

1575
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 2: fire superstars there were probably seven or eight in. The

1576
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 2: entire class so get a lot, of good starters but

1577
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:31,560
Speaker 2: not super duper difference. Maker type players sean on the,

1578
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 2: TWEET sheet says i think that it has been focused

1579
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 2: on the most important needs and the team should be

1580
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 2: better in. Twenty twenty five i'm more optimistic now than

1581
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:45,559
Speaker 2: any time in the last. Twenty five years so there's

1582
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 2: somebody who's experienced the drought and knows what we've been

1583
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 2: through for that. Seventeen year stretch so more optimistic now

1584
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 2: than any time in the last. Twenty five years, that's

1585
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 2: saying something especially with the last little Run that the

1586
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 2: bills have.

1587
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 3: HAD under McDermott i don't know if he's telling the,

1588
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 3: truth or not because when They signed von you're, three

1589
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 3: years ago everybody was Rubber stamping the Bills Of. The,

1590
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 3: SUPER bowl yeah i mean that was a pretty heady

1591
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 3: Moment when von Miller. Became a bill Uh and the

1592
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 3: bills jumped out. To That start, so i'm yes it's,

1593
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 3: been very good but you're forgetting some. Pretty fun, moments

1594
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 3: well yeah uh over the last four, or Five.

1595
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 2: Years uh EMBER says everything i wanted to SEE focus

1596
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 2: ON d specifically d line and corner in both free agency.

1597
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 2: And the draft only whole is maybe it's safety until

1598
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 2: we can Find our new. Poyer hide COMBINATION only thing

1599
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,600
Speaker 2: i don't See is replacing holland's blocking ability, on the

1600
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 2: outside but. That is minor, GREAT off season i would

1601
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 2: Submit that laviskus chenault might be that he might be

1602
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,759
Speaker 2: your blocker in the run game at. The receiver position

1603
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 2: he six one. TWO twenty, seven i mean he is

1604
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 2: put together and he's, done it before so you want

1605
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: somebody to execute that in the scope. Of your offense

1606
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 2: channel might be the candidate to do that Dirty work

1607
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 2: that hollands used to do in. THE run game i

1608
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 2: mean there were times in the Past game where hollins

1609
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 2: would pick off a defender covering one of the other Receivers,

1610
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 2: for The bills and i'd be calling the game and

1611
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:29,160
Speaker 2: my eyes would pop out. OF my head i couldn't

1612
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:31,679
Speaker 2: Say anything because i'm, calling The play but i'm, Thinking,

1613
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 2: TO myself man i hope he doesn't get a, flag

1614
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 2: FOR that because i, mean, HE came ye i. MEAN

1615
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 2: he came i mean he wouldn't just. Pick a guy

1616
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:41,719
Speaker 2: he would knock him into next week and the guy'd

1617
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 2: be writhing around. On the Ground meanwhile the bills are in.

1618
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 2: The end celebrate he did that a handful of. Times.

1619
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 3: Last, season yeah yeah it's, interesting too, THAT you know

1620
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:53,919
Speaker 3: i didn't, think about it, But You know max harrison

1621
01:25:54,320 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 3: was A Teammate of dion Walker. Right at kentucky maybe

1622
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,879

1635
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 3: to make a lot of difference. For these guys hopefully

1636
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 3: they'll act. To Make Quickly and, ray davis, too That's

1638
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 2: There, You go, UH steve says i feel like this

1639
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 2: may be the deepest roster we.

1640
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 10: Have.

1641
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,920
Speaker 2: Ever had currently the safety and linebacker rooms may be

1642
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 2: the weakest, we have now and they were not really

1643
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 2: brought up much prior to the DRAFT and concern i

1644
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 2: think we kind of listed safety as a place where

1645
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 2: they could. Add some, Depth And, look jordan hancock it

1646
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,480
Speaker 2: was the, fifth round pick is a safety. Slash slot, corner.

1647
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,560
Speaker 3: So yeah we talked a, lot about safety kind of.

1648
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 2: A hybrid player.

1649
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 3: Yes we did there was like two or three safeties

1650
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 3: that were really elite. Dudes coming out ravens took one

1651
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 3: of them in. The mid twenties.

1652
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,719
Speaker 2: Starks twenty seven we thought.

1653
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:27,760
Speaker 3: In, twenty seven yeah we thought he might be There

1654
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 3: and the bills didn't really have to move to get the.

1655
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 3: Guy they, wanted but yeah that was a. Possibility we thought,

1656
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 3: but you're right the safeties. AND the linebackers i think

1657
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 3: they liked THEIR linebackers because i think the Top Three,

1658
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 3: And dorian Williams bernard and milano you can play any

1659
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 3: two of those, three you want and you can be effective.

1660
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 2: And you have a firm grasp of.

1661
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 3: What they are right the, GUYS behind him i. Think

1662
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 3: you're right they've, been, special teams dudes.

1663
01:27:58,000 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 4: And.

1664
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 3: They Really have like specter gets in the game a

1665
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 3: couple of Times because the bills are out in front

1666
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 3: and they And they're taking milano and, those guys off

1667
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 3: keeping them, fresh and healthy keeping them from, getting you

1670
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 3: of these games, and you know you. Look at them

1671

01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 2: Game after, idea but okay.

1674
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:23,679
Speaker 3: Those guys get on the field once in a while

1675
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 3: when in a blowout. To clean up so.

1676
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:28,760
