00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: Just now, let me ask you are you Are you

22
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: a person that would rather do a little each day?

23
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: Or are you like I'm investing five hours on a

24
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: Saturday and I'm just getting it all done in one

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: fell swoop.

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to say I have the juice to make

27
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: that decision, but I do what I'm told pretty much.

28
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: So I'm I used.

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: To be a one day try to just knock it

30
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: all out, and you can't do it. I find that

31
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: I dread that day. When it finally comes, I was like, Ah,

32
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 2: let's get it all done on Saturday. I can bang

33
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: it all out. And then I get to the end

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: of Saturday, and then I wake up Sunday and I'm like, oh, yeah,

35
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: so I think. So what I've been doing is I've

36
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: been chipping away at it.

37
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: The last I do that too. I like that I've

38
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: done that a couple now.

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: Depending on the weather's got to be good. You get

40
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: anything done.

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Like the other day, I can't mow

42
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: my lawn because it's wet, but I filled most some

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: of it, so I mowed. I got a big one.

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: So I got a big lawn. I got a mow,

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: and I mowed part of you know the stuff that shows,

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, the stuff that neighbors can see. Yeah, the

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Amazon guy sees my lan right, So I got to

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: mow it, and then so I do that, and then

49
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: like yesterday, there's a part I need, so I had

50
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: to rake apart yesterday's. I got some trees that drop

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: a lot of debris out of them, so I just

52
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: rake those out so their grass can grow. That. I

53
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: did that two different days, motor once, then raked it

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: the other day. And then I got landscaping to do.

55
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Got to get the wife's garden beds set up. And

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: it's not that my wife's garden, but it's more like

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: the grandkid's garden. But the kids go out there and

58
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: they eat the raw vegetables right off the vine. Oh yeah,

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: they love it so that.

60
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: They eat tomatoes raw right off the vine.

61
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: Cucumbers okay, and they will eat the cucumbers are the

62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: big one. Tomatoes they do too.

63
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: I watched people eat tomatoes like the cherries, oh okay,

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: the cherry tomatoes. I've seen people eat the beef steaks

65
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: like an apple, and I don't know what it is,

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: but it just grows.

67
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I can do it with salt, that's tough. I can

68
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: do it with salt, but I can't.

69
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: I was terrified at tomatoes until I was about twelve

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: my kids.

71
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Are that way too. Wonder what that is. I was

72
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: never never liked them. I was never averse to that.

73
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: I kind of came around to them, you know, layering

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 2: them on a sub it's not just a tomato. Yeah,

75
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: now I down come say salad like it's yeah's business right,

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm kind of course there's my czrella, cheese

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: and other stuff involved.

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, Well, what are you gonna do? But yeah,

79
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like everybody, are.

80
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: You're battling any This is the next question, because you're

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: a little out in the country. Are you battling any

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: varmints right now? Because I have a I have a

83
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: battle on my hands yet.

84
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: Again that yes, that war is ongoing.

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I had solved it.

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: So I have.

87
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: So I have a covered patio, right, and I have

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: a couple. I have a couple of pull down shades

89
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: that provide a shelf for any willing bird that's interested

90
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: in building a nest. So last year I put the

91
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: bird spikes up there so they couldn't land.

92
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: How that go?

93
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 2: It went very well until this year. So the larger birds,

94
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: like the robins, they can't land there because the spikes

95
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: are everywhere. Now I got little finches yea, those fit

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: right in between all of yeah, right between.

97
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: It's a nest.

98
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: These spikes act as an anchor for our nest. Isn't

99
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: this wonderful? So now I'm fighting.

100
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: The we got home the same thing for us we got.

101
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's a fence or what. It's like.

102
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: It's like four to three inches tall, very small bird

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: and it's blue.

104
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: Oh it's blue.

105
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I walk up on my back porch. I

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: don't know it's it's blue and like blue on the back.

107
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: It's got a black face, you know. And so I

108
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: walk up and my welcome mat is not looking so

109
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: welcoming because it's getting picked apart.

110
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: Oh for a nest.

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're tearing they're tearing this thing up.

112
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: The tearning your welcome out into a nest.

113
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's like got pieces of it pulled out.

114
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,920

117
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: opens the door, and the thing like just hops aside

118
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: with this huge mouthful of my welcome mat.

119
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, takes off welcoming and.

120
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I walk in. And then yesterday too, I walked I

121
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: drove in the house yesterday and they're literally was a

122
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: herd a deer, but I chased they led me. It

123
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: was like I was in a parade. They led me

124
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: down my own driveway.

125
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: Am I our deer? They're unaffected? Oh they're vermin. And

126
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: there my wife goes out there banging pots and pants,

127
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: trying to startle them. They're like what are they?

128
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: Like? Keep it down? Yeah. Then I drove around the

129
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: corner and I came up and it was like, I

130
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: have a flagpole at the end. There's we want a flagpole,

131
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: and there it is that you're driven. It's kind of

Speaker 1: right there, right in front of you. K take a

133
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: corner and it's right there, and I'm driving up and

00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: like like they're lawn ornaments. They're sitting there perfectly symmetrical

136
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: with this flagpole.

00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: And I'm going, what are they staring at the flagpole?

00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what do bunnies do that?

139
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: Are they doing the pledge of a leech?

140
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,080

158
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: I do not know some other we're not allowed to.

159
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: So I've you've got to hang stuff all over to

160
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: scare the woodpeckers as well.

161
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a lot of wood on your home, dude.

162
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

163
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 2: My my issue with the carpenter bees.

164
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, carpenter bees. I got those two right.

165
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: I gotta get sprayd I gotta get my house.

166
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Same thing with me. Oh my gosh, somebody else. It's endless.

167
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: It's not just me, No, it's endless. It's all's endless.

168
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: Enough about our yard to do list. We wanted to

169
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: kind of get into some of the deeper workings of

170
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: the draft, and we'll get to our topic of conversation

171
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: as well in just a minute. But if you want

172
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: to chime in on anything, eight O THREEZHO five fifty

173
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty, then

174
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: number to get on board. But I found this Steve online.

175
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: There was a guy who covers the Arizona Cardinals, and

176
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: he proudly tweets out that eight of the cardinals twelve

177
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: draft choices were in Daniel Jeremiah's top one hundred and

178
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: fifty prospects for the twenty twenty four draft. So I said, okay,

179
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: I said, let me let's see what the bills tally is.

180
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: So I went down through DJ's top one fifty. Seven

181
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: of Buffalo's ten draft choices were in Daniel Jeremiah's top

182
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: one fifty. In case you're wondering who they were, Keon

183
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: Coleman Cole Bishop, Dwayne Carter Ray Davis, Cedric Van Peern Grainger,

184
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: Edifuon Eulafotio, and Javon Solomon. Those were the seven that

185
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: were in Jeremiah's top fifty. Now here's the difference. Okay,

186
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: you know they're trumpeting the guy goes Arizona. Eight of

187
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: Arizona's top twelve picks or eight of Arizona's twelve picks

188
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: are and Daniel Jeremiah's top one fifty. I don't think

189
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: too many other teams can say much about that. Yeah,

190
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: you're also drafting fourth in every round, and you had

191
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: two first round picks. The Bills had none a puffet

192
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: his chest out drafting fourth in the round. Get the

193
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: heck out of here with that. So here's kind of

194
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: how I laid it out. So half of Buffalo's picks

195
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: in the top one fifty in the draft. So they

196
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: had five of their ten picks at pick one fifty

197
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: or under. Okay, which means Ulefoggio and Javon Solomon were

198
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: taking it one sixty and one sixty eight. But we're

199
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: still in Jeremiah's top one fifty. The fact that the

200
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: Bills had two fewer total picks than the Cardinals and

201
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: we're picking twenty eighth or later in the round. They

202
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: had just one fewer Top one fifty player than the

203
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: Cardinals did. And I'm not saying Daniel Jeremiah's Top one

204
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: fifty is the end all, be all of lists. But

205
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: the point I'm trying to make here is the Bills

206
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: had far lesser draft capital to work with, two fewer

207
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: picks overall, and had one fewer choice in the top

208
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 2: fifty than the Cardinals did.

209
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this. We've seen it with Brandon Bean

210
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: over the last over the course of his time here

211
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: as GM and UH, they get a lot of traction

212
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds of their drafts,

213
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds, not just the

214
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: top two or three, one or two picks that you know,

215
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: it's always those guys who headline every team's draft. You know,

216
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: that first round pick guy, he's the headline of the

217
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: entire year. You know, he goes through an entire season

218
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: and offseasons being that number one pick and a guy

219
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: who everybody's counting on. That's coways the headline of everybody's draft.

220
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: But the Bills have gotten tremendous production from guys lower

221
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: down you know, not every year, but you know, when

222
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: you sprinkle in like Taron Johnson and Matt Mulano into

223
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: that mix, and now Khalilshakiir into that mix, There's been

224
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: a more than a handful of guys throughout his years that,

225
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: you know, just shine on it at an NFL level

226
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: after being just okay, we'll take that guy kind of guys.

227
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: I just kind of laughed at it because, I mean,

228
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: Arizona picked Marvin Harrison Junior and Darius Robinson before the

229
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 2: Bills even picked.

230
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: Right, you know what I mean.

231
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: I was like puffing your chest out, what's going on?

232
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: Man?

233
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's been a little lean and

234
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: Arizona lately, but my god, I mean, good for them.

235
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: I mean, look, and I I got all the respect

236
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: in the world from Mantyasen for it. I think he's

237
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: a good GM probably one of the better ones that

238
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: the Cardinals have had in a long time. And I

239
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: think he is going to build that roster into a

240
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: good product, you know, for coach Gannon and everything. But yeah,

241
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 2: I just I found the comment by the reporter interesting

242
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 2: to say the least. Not many teams are gonna be

243
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: able to say that, And I was like, well, seven

244
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: out of ten, how's that grab you, NFL doctor? Oh

245
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: and one other thing too, because I know I've mentioned

246
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: this a couple of times, but I think again that

247
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: is evidence of why trading back for the Bills probably

248
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: was the right decision here, because it proved very fruitful,

249
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: as evidence by that top one fifty percentage number one.

250
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: And here's another example that I think points out why

251
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: the Bills were probably not alone in believing that there

252
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: was more value to be had in round two and

253
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: three then there was in round one, especially if you

254
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: were picking late in the round. There were four trades

255
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: in round one of the draft last week, two of

256
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: which were made by the Bills, the other two by

257
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: the Vikings. In round two, do you have any trades?

258
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: There were ten? Really to me, that speaks to how

259
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: coveted a lot of those picks, and by virtue of

260
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: the selections, the players in that round were double the

261
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 2: trades in round two compared to round one, where everybody

262
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: said there's gotta be crazy, right, you know.

263
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, that more so than round one,

264
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: I think round two, there's a lot in this, right,

265
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot in it because it's a complex. You're

266
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: dealing with a thousand moving parts. There's a lot of

267
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: complexity here, and it's as much art as it is science.

268
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: Right in the first round, I think it's science. It's

269
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: like how tall is the guy? How fast does he run?

270
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: How bit far does he jump? How high does he jump?

271
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: What was his production in college? And what level did

272
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: he play? Right? I mean, it's all like just tell

273
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: me and okay, that's the guy. Right round two, it's like, well,

274
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: this guy, he's a military brat. He's played on six

275
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: different teams and been a captain on all of them.

276
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: He has gotten better production every year he's been up there.

277
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: But he's like an inch short. Right, It's like, I

278
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: don't know that guy. Take him right? That's you get

279
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: into that stuff now. We all of us, I mean

280
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: everybody listening and watching us now is probably the same

281
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: people who've been sitting there listening watching us. Well for weeks.

282
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: We've been chewing this up and spitting it out. I mean,

283
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: we've chewed up every aspect of this draft. And you

284
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: get to that second round and you're gonna get a

285
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: good dude. He's gonna be some measurables, but he's also

286
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: going to be something that's for some reason he's not

287
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: at the top, whatever it may be. I just think

288
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: it's fascinating that those picks are so valuable. We talked

289
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: about it yesterday that Vikings offered three ones, yeah, three one,

290
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: two ones this year, two this year and one next

291
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: year to move up from eleven to three. And then

292
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: answer was no. The answer was.

293
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: No, Oh my gosh, are you kidding? Yeah, And I

294
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: don't think it was truth, truth be told. I don't

295
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: think it was just because of what Minnesota was offering.

296
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: I think the other part of the equation there was

297
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: new England needs a lot of the same stuff that

298
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: Minnesota does.

299
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: I get it.

300
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: And they're in the catbird, seated three, and it's like,

301
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: why are we going to make this difficult for ourselves.

302
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: Let's just sit here, I mean, unless somebody's offering us

303
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: five first round picks.

304
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but think about it.

305
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: Next year's thickerback class is not supposed to be as

306
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: good as.

307
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Years there were four. There were three more quarterbacks taken.

308
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: After yeah, and that's another Patriot.

309
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: There wasn't like there wasn't anybody there take yeah you know.

310
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was before anybody knew the Falcons were taking

311
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: Michael Pennock's eighth overalls.

312
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: That's still four.

313
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: When's the next time we're going to have a draft

314
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: class where six quarterbacks go on the first twelve picks.

315
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: When's that happen?

316
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: It's never going to happen again. It's one once in

317
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: a lifetime. Yeah, it's it's never happened before.

318
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: And if you trade out of that pick at three,

319
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: there's a chance you could have been on the outside

320
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: looking in a chance you didn't.

321
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: You know, there's also a chance you can pick them

322
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: number one overall next year with their pick. Yeah, like

323
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: the Bears, you know, and you get Shador. Yeah.

324
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: I don't think people Sanders, Sanders, I don't think people

325
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: can see that far into the future because all they're

326
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: thinking about is, well, this means the Minnesota Vikings get

327
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: Drake May and we don't, and we really like him.

328
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: Well, listen, if you're right, if Drake Man turns out

329
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: to be the guy, nobody cares. But if if Drake

330
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: May comes in and and vomits on his own shoes,

331
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: you're sitting there going, man, we could have had a

332
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: list as long as your arm of guys who are

333
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: potential Hall of famers, and we passed on all of them.

334
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: I think the most interesting, oh my gosh, I think

335
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: the most interesting thing that we saw from the Patriots

336
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: was how much the philosophy on the kind of quarterback

337
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: to draft shifted. Because when they picked fifteenth four years

338
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: ago and took mac Jones, they took the cerebral guy,

339
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: you know, really smart, quick, processor, accurate thrower, but a

340
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: little lacking in physical measurables.

341
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: And at yes, at the end of the day, his

342
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: name was still McCorkle. Right, you get what you get.

343
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: So much like your philosophy is that if you have

344
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: a good nickname, it enhances your draft style. If you

345
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: have a foolish name that hurts you just as much.

346
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: Is that your philosophy. And that is right there, the

347
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: poster child for my for my assertion named McCorkle. How

348
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: do you win with a guy named McCorkle. Yeah, true,

349
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: I will say true. But I found it interesting because

350
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: Drake May is one of those He's got all the

351
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: physical attributes, e lead, physical traits and all of that stuff,

352
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: but his resume isn't quite as strong as maybe some

353
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: of the other guys. And they decided to go in

354
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: that direction.

355
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: Instead, nobody sees the nobody sees the wisdom in that

356
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: more than Bill's fans and Josh Allen, Right, I mean,

357
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 1: Josh was the That's who Josh was. Josh had all

358
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: these measurables, a huge arm.

359
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: And that guy's playing in their division for the.

360
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: A little bit. Yeah, they're looking at him twice a

361
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: year going. They got to have that, right they I'll

362
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: never forget he has a little bit of schadenfreud, which

363
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: is a German word for taking great delight in others misery. Yeah,

364
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: Josh started lumping up New England. You turn on wee

365
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: I radio in Boston just to listen to it the

366
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: next day.

367
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's enjoyable.

368
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: And you get these guys with the Boston accent and

369
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: they I can't even do a Boston accent. And he's

370
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: He's like, they got a monster, they got a monster quarterback,

371
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: they got a monster. He just rub it on my face.

372
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't get enough of it. And they're right, they're

373
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: looking at Josh, going, man, me.

374
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 2: Looking at that guy.

375
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: For We made five perfect calls against the Bills, defensively perfect.

376
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 1: We had them and they turned into first downs or

377
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns against us. We got to get that guy. Yeah,

378
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: the problem that'll change your philosophy. Yeah.

379
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: NFL dot Com put a list together now with the

380
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 2: draft in the rearview mirror, of the top ten matchups

381
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: on the twenty twenty four NFL regular season schedule. We're

382
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: into May, now, Steve, this is this is schedule.

383
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Least you know it's a couple of weeks. We'll get

384
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: it right. Yeah.

385
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: So NFL dot Com put a list together top ten

386
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 2: matchups for the twenty twenty four NFL regular season, and

387
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: the Bills made the list. Care to venture I guess

388
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: as to which game they picked amongst the Bill's opponents.

389
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: I got to check our opponents here playing a first

390
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: place schedule. They've got the AFC South and the NFC West.

391
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: Here we go. Now, I got it all right.

392
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: So, out of all those games, which one do you

393
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: think they picked for the top ten list for the

394
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 2: entire league this season?

395
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: Bill's Chiefs, of course, Bill's Ravens, and I would say

396
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: they only picked one, just one. It's gotta be maybe

397
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Bill's Niners.

398
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: They picked none of those. Really, they went purely for

399
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: the salacious headlines. Jets, Bill's Texans, Bill Texans Stefan Oh

400
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: and CJ. Stefan Diggs faces his former team. Here's what

401
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: they wrote.

402
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: In this day and age, everybody faces a former teams.

403
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 2: Come on, so here's what they wrote. Stefan Diggs facing

404
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: off against the Bills will be appointment viewing like someone

405
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: running into an ex at a mutual friend's house party.

406
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: The wide out should be motivated to scorch his former partners.

407
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: Given the turnover in Buffalo's secondary, Digs could be in

408
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 2: for a good day. Likewise, Buffalo will want to show

409
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 2: that it has moved on from the pro bowler without

410
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: missing a beat. The Dig storyline is the headliner, but

411
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 2: this matchup is about more than one player, so it

412
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: just kind of went on from there.

413
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: CJ. Stroud and Josh I can see it.

414
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: Yes, that that's that's the one that's more entertaining than Yes,

415
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: the whole Diggs thing.

416
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: I get and listen, I listen. We have here in Buffalo.

417
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: We love Steph. I mean it's hard to not. Yes,

418
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: he's gone and they traded him, but man, oh man,

419
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: that guy was a was the dude for our offense.

420
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean we loved having stuff on the field. He

421
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: was great, so so I don't really see Yeah whatever, Yeah, it.

422
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: Was just me. I was disappointed in that pick. As

423
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I liked all the other ones

424
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: that you chose. Right, the San Francisco game is gonna be.

425
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: Huge, Baltimore game is going to be Baltimo Kansas City

426
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: game as always. And also the Jet game with with

427
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. They got four plays into it and they

428
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: still then don't forget the Jets of the team. You know,

429
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: they split with the Bills last year. They give us problems.

430
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: AFC South is going to be a handful this year.

431
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson is back with the Colts and they just

432
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: added another receiver to their ranks. Yeah, we know what

433
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: the Texans did this offseason and the season they had

434
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: last year for that matter, kind of showed hey, we're

435
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: here and we're going to be a factor in the AFC.

436
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: And then you know, Jacksonville, can they bounce back, you

437
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: know from a disappointing season last year. And then Tennessee,

438
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: you know, I know you like Will Levis.

439
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: I think he do too.

440
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: He's got some potential.

441
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: Levis. I mean, every Josh broke the mold. Every now

442
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to make a mold of Josh.

443
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: But every team in that divisions A has a young

444
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: quarterback that doesn't look half bad. I mean, the jury's

445
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: still out on Richardson because he got hurt last year, right, But.

446
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: Think about it, Trevor Lawrence is like the old.

447
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: Guy and what is he twenty six twentyis like.

448
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: In his third year. So it's it's interesting to think

449
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: about it in those terms. But you're right, that's a

450
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: that's a division that's up and coming. But we'll talk

451
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: to me when they get there. Yeah, because you know

452
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: you're looking at teams like and I say this too,

453
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: I've heard the big question now around the league and

454
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: around people talking about the Bills and what they did.

455
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: Are the Bills still the favorite in the division? Are

456
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: the Are the Bills still going to you know, to

457
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: dominate the FC and the four years in a row

458
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: they've been the champion. I mean it's like at some

459
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: point maybe that streak will end, But you've got to

460
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: you gotta think, Yeah, it's tough to get by Josh.

461
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: What do you think the AFC West is thinking about Mahome.

462
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: They're looking at Mahomes going the Raiders have never beaten

463
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: him ever.

464
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: No, they beat him. They beat him in Kansas City.

465
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, what wasn't last year? That

466
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: was a year before Derek Carr beat him. I know

467
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: he did in Kansas Seriously. Yes, I'm gonna look it up.

468
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: He's got one loss against those guys one if that

469
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: those Yeah, that division. Mahomes is wiping the floor with

470
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: all of them. Yes, he is, all, including Justin Herbert.

471
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean he may split with one of these teams

472
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: once in a while, Denver, Are you kidding?

473
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to find this now.

474
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: It's a little bit and I get it too. It's

475
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: a little bit Brady like in that. You know, Brady

476
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: was with the Jets and the Bills during the bills

477
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: seventeen year drought and Miami before they could get out

478
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: of their own way. They had a litany of quarterbacks

479
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: as well. So it's a bad division and Brady was

480
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: beneficiary to some extent of that. And that's what's going

481
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: on with Mahomes out West. I mean the Raiders are

482
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't. You couldn't throw names into a

483
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: hat and turn their roster over more than they do

484
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: and their coaching staff.

485
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 2: So they beat him. It's a little further back than

486
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: I thought it was. But they beat him in twenty twenty.

487
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: And the only reason I knew this is because the

488
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: game was on here. I don't know if we had

489
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: a bye week or what, but they beat him forty

490
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: to thirty two in a shootout Week five, twenty twenty,

491
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: season twenty twenty. Yeah, it's I think that's the last

492
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: time they've been.

493
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: It's been four years. They can't beat that joker.

494
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it.

495
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: So it's so you got your it's it's Mahomes, it's Josh,

496
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: it's Lamar And I don't even know where You can't

497
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: even put Joe Burrow into that because he's only plays

498
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: half the time. He's really nicked. And then who's it

499
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: going to be? Justin Herbert. He hasn't won anything.

500
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: People are thinking that's gonna change now with Harbaugh.

501
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: But okay it, Mike, don't doesn't every team think that's

502
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna Yes, don't the Raiders think that's gonna happen. Don't

503
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: you know all these teams? Yeah, I'm It's interesting though,

504
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: how the success of Josh Allen has changed the philosophy

505
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: of drafting guys. The Patriots got a guy that was

506
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: the on the other end of the spectrum from the

507
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: guy they drafted last time in the first round, Mac Jones.

508
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: Drake May is a big dude.

509
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

510
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,120

Speaker 2: the most? You let us know, Let's go to the phones,

523
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: and leading us off today is one Gary in Buffalo.

524
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: What's up? Gary?

525
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: Hey?

526
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Guys?

527
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? I had some talking about the environments before. We'll

528
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 4: get to that later. But I think I think safety Okay,

529
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna be stronger at safety than people realize.

530
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 4: And it's not our system, but it's a product of

531
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: our coaching and our philosophy. I really think we're gonna

532
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 4: have a really strong core back there, and now with

533
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 4: the directors, I think we're going to be even stronger.

534
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 4: I know we lost the best guys in the world.

535
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: We love them, but it's not It's not the end

536
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 4: of the world, and it will be. I think safety

537
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: is and it's a key thing, especially in the in

538
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 4: the way we throw the ball and everyone else was about.

539
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 4: The second thing is about barnmins. I'll tell you that's

540
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 4: quick brownie fishing line. Fishing line to tours birds everywhere.

541
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: We put it all around our house. Once they run

542
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: into a little fishing line somewhere, we run them all

543
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 4: over the place. They don't start, they don't perch, they

544
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 4: don't anything any any bird.

545
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 2: So how do you run the line? Like, do you

546
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: run it a straight.

547
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 4: Line to another gutter?

548
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

549
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: Just I got to do a gutter or something. Just

550
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 4: just and I run one out to my light pole.

551
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: So when you fly through my yard, they just keep

552
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 4: getting hit with these invisible lines and it's amazing. It

553
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 4: is like putting the racer out there. I didn't do

554
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: it last year. I didn't believe it. And I go

555
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 4: out there. My truck was covered. I went, oh my god.

556
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 4: Now I run them all the way out to the

557
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 4: street pole, not the street pole, the street tree, from

558
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: my gutter, the sixty foot line. And when he hit

559
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: that line, they get they get mad. And after about

560
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 4: a week it's amazing.

561
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: Garry's out there clothes lined right so you can't listen.

562
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. Can you can you see

563
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: you can't even see the fishing line? Then right, I can.

564
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 4: My wife can see it. She looks in the sun,

565
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 4: hits that. You see it. Otherwise it's it's a monopolement line.

566
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 4: It's ten foot off the ground and you don't even

567
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 4: see it. And they hit it once and they may

568
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: come back again. And we're sitting at the front porch

569
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 4: and the birds just like go around it like a

570
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 4: magic it's a magic thing. It's it's incredible. I saw

571
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 4: it in Florida about twenty years ago, and I thought, oh,

572
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 4: why do these guys got fishing line? Umber, Well, that's

573
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 4: the way you got to do it. It is amazing.

574
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I may have to give that.

575
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: Every size bird, every size bird anything. He hits the line,

576
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 4: he's like, what was that? And after a couple of

577
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 4: times he's like, I don't want to go there anymore.

578
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they get spooked. Okay, all right, good, good one.

579
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: That's one to grow on for me. Jerry, thank you

580
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: for that. Yeah, we're dealing with Varmin's. We did find

581
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: out why it's illegal to kill woodpeckers.

582
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: By the way, Steve, somebody tell us that.

583
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: What is you need a special permit to kill these

584
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: federally protected creatures because they are protected under the Federal

585
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: Migratory Bird Treaty Act. How about that? You just don't

586
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: want them damaging your home. Unfortunately, there's a treaty acting

587
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: on their behalf. We are up against the break. But

588
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 2: when we come back, Harold is going to lead us

589

Speaker 3: Harold, Good afternoon, gentlemen.

607
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 5: I just want to say that I've been listening to

608
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: y'all the show for a long time. I haven't called

609
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 5: in a long time, but I like to listen and

610
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 5: what I've been listening to and hearing. I've been a

611
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bill's fan. When Buffalo was winning record was two

612
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 5: games and then I can remember mister Tasker, a man

613
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 5: being with the Bills and the four Super Bowls and

614
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 5: how tough we were. But in the last five years,

615
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 5: Buffalo to me, has been a powerful team. We went through,

616
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 5: uh we're going through three offensive coordinators now.

617
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I.

618
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 5: Think all the college players are good, but if they

619
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 5: don't fit the offensive coordinators team, then he's just a

620
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 5: good player on a team that is not fit for him.

621
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 5: And I think that with the players that we receive

622
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 5: in this uh, in this draft, I think they fit

623
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 5: our offensive steam play and UH, I think we're gonna

624
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 5: be good on overall as passing any receiving. And I

625
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 5: think we're gonna see Josh Allen being up under cinemore.

626
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 5: I think that's gonna be powerful to us. And and

627
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 5: I think we're going to be a different team this

628
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,959
Speaker 5: year tremendously.

629
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: I think may be right. Uh. Certainly there's been some

630
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: buzz about how it's going to be with Joe Brady

631
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: working the offense the entire offseason and kind of letting

632
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: evolve quick into something more than that he likes more.

633
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: And one of the things the big changes last year,

634
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: the one that people point to that's different is and

635
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: this is a little analytics talk, but in run neutral

636
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: downs like on first and ten where you could run

637
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: or pass, or second and four where you could run

638
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: and pass, these down and distances that analytics people point

639
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: to that say, well, it's really fifty to fifty whether

640
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: you'd be as successful running or passing. The Bills were

641
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: more run heavy than they had been under Ken Dorsey.

642
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: Not totally run all the time, but certainly.

643
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: Significantly more fifty.

644
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: Right we started, we started going fifty to fifty when

645
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 1: it was a run neutral down instead of throwing at

646
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: sixty and running it forty or sixty five, thirty five,

647
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: whatever it was. That's the one thing that Joe Brady

648
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: was different when he took over, and as you can

649
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: point to that as being different, I think it is

650
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: going to be a little different offense this year. I

651
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: don't know that the trends are wanting towards guys being

652
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: under center more or less, but it's still gonna be

653
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: a throwing league. I'd be surprised if the Bills weren't

654
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: kind of where they've been. They're gonna throw it thirty

655
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: six to thirty nine percent. I mean run it thirty

656
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: six to thirty nine percent of the time and throw

657
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: it sixty one to sixty six percent of the time

658
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: in any given game. Where they run it and how

659
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: often they run it and how effective they are running

660
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: it says a lot about how successful the other sixty

661
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: percent is going to be when they throw it.

662
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 2: I think there is some momentum, at least among the

663
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 2: fan base that believes that they are going to run

664
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: the ball more because of a the fact that they

665
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: drafted three offensive linemen and a running back. And I

666
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: think they also believe they're going to run the ball

667
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 2: more because they know less about their receiving corps and

668
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: how well it's going to all fit together. Those are

669
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: plausible premises to base an opinion on. Of course, none

670
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: of us know until we actually see it, so I

671
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: don't think that's outlandish to think that way. I think

672
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: the big key is I think the big key is

673
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: the percentage and the when you know, situationally, how often

674
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 2: are they turning to running the football? Are there gotta

675
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: have it plays in the run game that they execute

676
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 2: so well that it doesn't even matter if the opponent

677
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: knows it's coming. And I'm not talking about like what Philly,

678
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: did you know with the Brotherly Shove. I'm talking about

679
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: a genuine play in your playbook that you know you

680
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: can get three or four yards every stink in time,

681
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: no matter what that defense throws at you. And you

682
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: know with Aaron Kromer, you know, playing a role in

683
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 2: the design of the run game, yeah, you want if

684
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: he and Brady kind of get on the same page

685
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 2: with some things and say, yeah, let's just do it

686
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: this way.

687
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot in this stuff

688
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: about the offense and finger quotes, philosophy and one of

689
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: the things about it. And I think back to when

690
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: when I was playing, and the thought around the league

691
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: was there were certain things even back then and certainly

692
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: more so now. There are certain running plays you just

693
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: don't want to run into a certain defensive front, and

694
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: there's and vice versa. There's certain fronts you don't want

695
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: to run against a team because if they switch out

696
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: of the play and get into this one, you know,

697
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: into their base run, you got a problem. There were

698
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: certain plays we had when even when I played, they said, listen,

699
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: whatever the front is, we're gonna go ahead and run it.

700
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: You can do that in the run game. In the

701
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: past game, sometimes it's a problem because of protection and

702
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: the way that the people are distributed. You don't want

703
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: to snap the ball against the front because you're vulnerable

704
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: to getting your quarterback knocked off his feet. That stuff.

705
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot in this but the simple, the simple

706
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: way to put it is you've got to have maybe

707
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: a handful of plays. Particularly in the running game. You

708
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: can run it whatever you're gonna run it, and if

709
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: you can't run it the way you want it to,

710
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: you can run it the other way, just you know,

711
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: riverside it and reverse it. Say we're gonna run the

712
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: same play, We're gonna go to the other way. Instead

713
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: of running fifty whatever, We're gonna run sixty something whatever

714
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: play that is. I still, and this is pointed towards

715
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: Harold from Buffalo just called in I still. Players don't

716
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: fit into an offense right. Players don't fit into your defense.

717
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: You fit your defense around your players.

718
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,959
Speaker 2: Coordinators tailor your.

719
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Your coordinators aren't gonna They're not gonna ask key On

720
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: Coleman to line up a tailback and hand them the ball.

721
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: You you ask him to do stuff he can do.

722
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: I used to say this all the time. Miami Dolphins

723
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: had some really great teams, but their biggest gift, and

724
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: they're the biggest difference maker, was Don Shula. He wouldn't

725
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: let his coaching staff call plays or design defenses that

726
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: didn't let his players do what they did best. And man,

727
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: it's hard to beat guy. I don't care if they

728
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: only have three defensive calls they're playing. They do that

729
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: stuff really well. They're hard to beat. I mean, they're

730
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: not unsound. There's vulnerabilities in their defense, but they know

731
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: what they are, you know, so it's hard to beat

732
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: teams who only do what they do best. So that's

733
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: that was true, Then it's true. Now you certainly want

734
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: the most gifted players you can get, because then they

735
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: can do more things. But you only ask them. You

736
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: fit your schemes around your players, not vice versa.

737
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and tell Leslie and

738
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: Buffalo what's up?

739
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: Leslie?

740
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 6: Hi, Chris, Hey, Steve. I hope you guys doing well,

741
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 6: doing well. Listen to you all the time. But well,

742
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 6: i'll call the say is I'm two years older than

743
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 6: the Buffalo Bills. I can go back to Marlon, Magician Briscoe,

744
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 6: up to Andre Reid, Eric Moles, now Stepan. But our

745
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 6: new guys, I think we're gonna keep everything going. We're

746
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 6: gonna win. That's what we learned to do.

747
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: So you're saying that receivers specifically, you think they're gonna

748
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 2: still surprise us this year.

749
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 6: Man, We're gonna do a good thing. I don't think

750
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 6: we're gonna hrdly miss a beat. Okay, but I miss

751
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 6: Stepan tell you the truth. But I think our heart

752
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 6: fense will carry on.

753
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Leslie appreciate I would agree with that.

754
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: Did you know anything else to add?

755
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 6: Well, Steve, you're the man, mister fast, mister swift. I'll

757
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you. I appreciate it. Call. I'm

758
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: kind of in that camp he did, didn't he Uh.

759
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm and you're gonna well, you'll

760
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: hear me doing this for the next six months. I

761
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: I am not. I have not gotten off this team

762
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: and how good they're gonna be. They're gonna be good.

763
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: And I know there's particularly around the that nation, you know,

764
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: the draft guys and the scouts and other teams and

765
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: people fans of other teams looking at us, said, hey,

766
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: they're resetting, they're gonna be. They're they're trying to collect

767
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: themselves get ready for next year. Uh, they're gonna be.

768
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a handful again this year, mostly because

769
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: they got the guy at the quarterback that's gonna make

770
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: things but different than than it's been for them. This

771
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: team is never gonna be out of any game as

772
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: long as they got Josh. Now something happens to Josh, obviously,

773
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: all bets are off. That's the way it is with

774
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: any team. But I think that this team is gonna

775
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: be just as good now. They may go through a

776
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: rough patch here and there while they find out who

777
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: they got and what they need to do, but they're

778
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of games. They're gonna be tough

779
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: to beat again. So I'm I'm I'm kind of with Leslie.

780
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: I like the group of receivers they had before they

781
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: drafted Keyon Coleman, and the more I see a key

782
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: On Coleman, the more I like it from when I

783
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: see a him. I love King Kid. I think he's

784
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: gonna be different. I think James Cook is gonna come

785
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: back with a vengeance this year. This is his third

786
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: year coming up, and I think that makes a big

787
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: difference for him. You know, King Kaid's gonna be a

788
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: different guy right out of the gate this season. So

789
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: is Shakir and this offensive line I think may have

790
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: gotten better this offseason with the loss of Mitch Morris.

791
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: If you can believe that so I'm I'm very high

792
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: on what this offense is gonna do. And like I

793
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: said yesterday the day before, Sean McDermott has his hallmark

794
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: as a head coach is maximizing his roster, particularly on

795
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: that side of the ball, the defense. So I'm I'm

796
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: once again very high on this team and where is

797
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: going to be at the end of the year.

798
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here as we're up against it.

799
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 2: When we come back more of your phone calls. We'll

800
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 2: lead off with Bill and Old Forge and others holding

801
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: at eight oh three, oh five fifty. But we've got

802
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: some open lines for you. After the offseason changes to

803
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 2: the roster, which Bill's position group do you think is

804
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: gonna surprise us the most this fall for the twenty

805
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: twenty four regular season. Jump on the phone, let us

806
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 2: know here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health.

807
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back here on One

808
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Gonna get

809
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: right back to the phones. Here is we're asking you

810
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: after the off season changes to Buffalo's roster, both on

811
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 2: free agency in the draft, which Bill's position group do

812
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 2: you think is gonna surprise us the most and leading

813
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 2: us off here in this segment Bill in Old Forge,

814
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: what do you got for us?

815
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: Bill?

816
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, that's not what I want to talk about,

817
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 3: but I will say personally, I think the Bills are

818
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: gonna be fine. There canna be as good as they've been,

819
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 3: if not better this coming season. I called about a

820
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 3: month ago about hip drop tackle the rule that they're

821
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 3: getting out of the game, and I mentioned, you, guys,

822
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 3: I'm kind of literally about where the game's going with that,

823
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: because all the tackles they showed looked like pretty just

824
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 3: normally legit tackles for the most part, and then Goadal

825
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 3: This weekend, one of my friends told me he mentioned something.

826
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 3: I thought he was joking, but then I saw video

827
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 3: of it later on in the day and I was like, oh,

828
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: I really did say that, And he mentioned the Guardian

829
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 3: helmets actually letting them wear them on game day on Sundays,

830
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 3: and real quick, I'll try to be as brief as

831
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 3: I can about this. I used to go to training

832
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 3: camp all the time, but those camp used to love

833
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 3: it because of the contact and physicality. Seeing mcgae and

834
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 3: Tequio spikes on gol line drills, all that good stuff,

835
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: and I haven't gone to camp in like two three

836
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: years or whatever. They started just wearing guardian helmets and

837
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: they're not tackling anybody anymore. It's boring to me. It's

838
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 3: not football to me. So I just stopped going to

839
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 3: camp all together because it's boring to watch the guardian helmets.

840
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 3: I'm not a knucklehead. I know concussions are bad. I

841
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 3: get it. But I know anybody that's played football, anybody

842
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 3: that I'm the soci shut with, like friends, family, whatever.

843
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean. The violence, the contact, the danger of playing

844
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 3: that is the allure of the game. It's the allure

845
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 3: that's why you play it. It's not for everybody. You

846
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: see some people quit the first day of practice, the

847
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: first time they're hit. It's not for everybody, but that

848
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 3: is the allure of the game, the contact, the physicality.

849
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 3: There is a danger involved in playing it, and that's

850
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 3: why certain people like the game. If they are gonna

851
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: wear guardian helmets on Sunday, I personally don't see myself

852
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 3: watching football anymore. I just I can't do it me personally,

853
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 3: and I know a bunch of people that I'm associated with.

854
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: It will not watch football anymore. If they do that.

855
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 3: My question is to you guys, is this, Do you

856
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: think players would actually wear those on Sunday? I don't

857
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: think they will, but they're given the option. Do you

858
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 3: think they will? And my perception is Goodell's putting it

859
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 3: out there so a liability down the line with concussions

860
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, So maybe the league can't get

861
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 3: sued for a concuse. I'm not really sure why you

862
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 3: put it out there. I don't think players will worm,

863
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 3: but if they do start wearing them, I am out

864
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 3: on watching football at every level. It will no longer

865
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: be football anymore to me. I want to know your

866
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: guys take on that, especially you Steve, because you played

867
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 3: and you know where I'm coming from. You're you're of

868
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 3: a generation where you've seen it all on the football field.

869
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. I see where you're coming from, and you're right.

870
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: If they allow it to be done, it'll be done.

871
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: No question. Guys will wear it because you know they'll

872
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: get pressure from their wives and kids and families to

873
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: wear it. Uh, it's a safer way to do it.

874
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 1: But you're right, and it'll it will. Yeah, it does

875
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: something because the helmets look different if just wearing it

876
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: doesn't really change the game that much. So I get

877
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and you're right. Brownie will tell you

878
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: I hate watching practice at training camp because I find

879
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: it boring too. It's a it's a tough line the

880
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: league has to walk. You're right. The game is hasn't

881
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: allure for guys who haven't like me when I was younger,

882
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: who have an underdeveloped sense of self preservation. Let's go,

883
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, let's go out in rough house. Let's go

884
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: down and knock each other down, Let's tackle each other

885
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: and be rough, you know, let's play a rough sport.

886
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: I get it. There isn't an allure to that. But

887
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: the league, through you know, no effort of its own,

888
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: has suddenly been starting to be held responsible for protecting

889
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: guys like you and me Bill from ourselves when we

890
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: play the game, and not only protect us, but the

891
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: guys we're playing with. So it's going to continue to

892
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: be an issue until there. I don't know where this

893
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if there is a stopping point, And

894
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: maybe that's the one thing that dethrones this eight hundred

895
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: pound guerrilla that has become so big in America. This

896
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: NFL is the fact that because of the danger of it,

897
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: it'll be, it'll be, it'll grow into something that's not

898
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: worth watching anymore. I think it's a long way from that.

899
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: When you've got big guys or small guys or whoever

900
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: wear in different kind of helmet, don't I think maybe

901
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: they can. They can do enough with shoulder pad technology

902
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: and maybe body pads or whatever, so the game will

903
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: pick back up and be more more physical because of

904
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: the protection. I don't know, but you're right. I think

905
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: it's a real risk the league faces when it changes

906
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: the game into something like like touch football, like some

907
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: of the other anciliary sports or lower level of sports

908
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: that you see.

909
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 2: So just to bring everybody up to speed, they have

910
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: mandated they've expanded expanded the mandate for players in practice.

911
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 2: All players must wear the Guardian caps in practice, with

912
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: the exception of the quarterback, the kicker, and the punter

913
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 2: who never get hit in practice or really have much

914
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: contact in practice. Maybe that's a better way of saying it.

915
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: For games, players have the option to wear it in

916
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: a game if they choose to do so. Who do

917
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 2: I think would be doing that? My guess would be

918
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: someone that actually has a concussion misses a game and

919
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 2: then clears concussion protocol, but their first game back may

920
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 2: want to wear the guardian cap to prevent getting another

921
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 2: one in close succession, because that's when you really run

922
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 2: down a bad path. When you have two concussions in

923
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 2: a short period of time, you know, in relatively close

924
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 2: proximity to one another, that's when the symptoms and the

925
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: complications get exacerbated the most. So if I had to guess,

926
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 2: that would be the first person in my mind that's

927
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: going to put a guardian cap on for regular season games,

928
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 2: someone coming out of concussion protocol that just had one

929
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: and doesn't want to know.

930
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: And you have guys start coming out of college where

931
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: they'll wear them all the time because it'll give them

932
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: a chance to play with a little more comfort. Meaning

933
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: they've had a concussion or whatever and they and they

934
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: they're kind of worried about and they want to wear it,

935
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: and then they then what will happen is obviously they're

936
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: gonna start being comfortable wearing it and uncomfortable when it's

937
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: not on, and then they'll just wear it all the time.

938
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: It'll it'll happen slowly but surely, and they'll be guys

939
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: who will refuse to wear it, and guys who wouldn't

940
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 1: play without. It's just the way guys are. Until they

941
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: require them on all players all the time, it'll be

942
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: like that.

943
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

944
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a legitimate worry. I think although I

945
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: think it's a ways a way that they could make

946
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: the game grow because of the lack of physicality they're allowing.

947
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: They could make the great game grow into something that's

948
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: not as fun to watch. And that would be that

949
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: would be a huge.

950
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 2: Be unfortunate.

951
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be that would that would make the

952
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: game shrink instead of grow for the first time.

953
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Following off season changes to the roster, which Bill's

963
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you and discussing a Bill's position group

964
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: that you think is going to surprise us the most

965
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 2: after all the offseason changes in free agency and the draft.

966
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 2: Give us a position group you think is gonna surprise

967
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 2: us come this regular season in the fall. Eight O,

968
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 2: THREEH five fifty the number to get on board. And

969
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 2: we lead off with David in Buffalo. What's up, David?

970
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 7: All right, thanks for taking my call.

971
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 2: Sure.

972
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 7: I think the thing is going to surprise people is

973
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 7: that there's been so much emphasis on receive wide receivers

974
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 7: with the draft and things like that, and we took

975
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 7: a wide receiver with our first pick. But I think

976
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 7: the important thing when you look at this last season,

977
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 7: the team went five to zero at the end of

978
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 7: the season and seven to one in the last eight games,

979
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 7: when actually Diggs had seen his production drop drastically in

980
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 7: the second half of the season, and where Davis I

981
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 7: think even racked up to maybe three games with no

982
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 7: catches at all. And this offense has really gone away

983
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 7: from the wide receivers as being a focal point. I

984
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 7: think we're going to see plays like, for example, where

985
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 7: we have two tight ends set ups with Cox Kinkaid

986
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 7: and where the other team brings out their heavy package

987
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 7: to buy their heavy package, but then we come out

988
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 7: with the empty backfield, but has Cook split out going

989
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 7: wide too, with Kincaid and Cocks going wide. So I

990
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 7: think that one thing's going to be in surprised just

991
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 7: how much his ups has really changed. So even though

992
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 7: it's still going to be pass happy, it's cab got

993
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 7: away from the wide receivers as a focus of that.

994
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a valid point, David. And we saw

995
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 2: that at the beginning of last season, where under Ken

996
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 2: Dorsey it was heavy two tight end personnel. Through the

997
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: first few weeks they were one of the leading teams

998
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,479
Speaker 2: in the usage of twelve personnel, two tight ends, one back.

999
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: I've said it already. I think Dalton Kinkaid is going

1000
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 2: to lead this team in targets led next year. I

1001
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 2: just think he's going to be a focal point of

1002
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 2: the passing game.

1003
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm okay with that. Yeah, And I don't

1004
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: know that Steph diggs production and dropping last half of

1005
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,479
Speaker 1: last season had as much to do with the wide

1006
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: receivers not being a focal point as it did with

1007
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: having other guy's numbers called. There are certain plays where

1008
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: you it's not the Z receiver that's getting the ball.

1009
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be the ex or it's going to

1010
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: be the tight end or the running back. I think

1011
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 1: Joe Brady did a better job of having talked talking

1012
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: to Josh about spreading it around a little bit, and

1013
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: certainly when you're going seven and one, not too many

1014
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: and Steph's not going to squawk about the team winning

1015
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: like they did. Plus Steph's came. Yes, but Steph's target

1016
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: level did not go down all that much, maybe maybe

1017
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: one or two targets a game. But he was still

1018
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:47,720
Speaker 1: getting the ball thrown to him plenty.

1019
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,959
Speaker 2: He just wasn't catching it as effectively, That's right.

1020
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: And so because of that, I you know it get

1021
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: don't get the idea that last year when they went,

1022
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, five and zero down the stretch and six

1023
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: and one in the last seven and don't think they

1024
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: like turned it upside down like with the Running game.

1025
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 1: We were talking about the Running Game, or because they

1026
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, took Steph out of the mix. I think

1027
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: there were some other more subtle changes. I think there

1028
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: was very subtle changes in what they did coming down

1029
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: the stretch with Joe Brady. I think it had more

1030
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: to do with play selection rather than play design.

1031
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: And but you did see King Kaid's targets and Shakir's

1032
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 2: targets go up precipitously, and they went down precipitously for

1033
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis, now for Stefan Diggs. Gabe Davis was an

1034
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 2: afterthought in this passing game for the last four games

1035
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: of the year and the playoffs. Now he was hurt

1036
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 2: too for the playoffs.

1037
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this, I think you get those results

1038
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: you can. I'm not saying they did, But my thought

1039
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: is I think he get that by conversations with the

1040
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: guy throwing it, not by designing plays different or calling

1041
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: him different. I think you just say, listen, you got

1042
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: to you know, on these play on this, on this

1043
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: section of the playbook, look to the tight end or

1044
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: to the slot guy before you look at somebody else.

1045
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: And I just don't think you needed to redesign the

1046
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: offense to get the results you did coming down the

1047
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,919
Speaker 1: stretch there. And I think Joe Brady's way of communicating

1048
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: with Josh was just more effective at doing that. That's

1049
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: my thought.

1050
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I get it. Well, there's there's a trust

1051
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: factor too. I mean, Josh trusts the most Also.

1052
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: And you got to earn it.

1053
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 2: And so Shakir was the most sure handed receiver on

1054
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 2: the roster.

1055
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: It might have taken him a while to earn that.

1056
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: Kincaid and Shakir, and it also might have gotten you know,

1057
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: when John, when it's different when it's a live game

1058
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 1: and it's they're keeping score and you got to win,

1059
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: as it is every week in the regular season, and

1060
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: you're dropping back there quarterback, trusting the guy means something,

1061
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: and that's you know, it takes a while for that

1062
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: to develop. You can't do it in practice so much

1063
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: maybe and you can't do it, you know, just going

1064
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: through training camp and doing seeing it in games and

1065
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: then going back and here's the huge thing. You go

1066
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: back and watch that stuff on film and time and

1067
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: time again. You're throwing it to Steph Diggs or you're

1068
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: throwing it to Gabe Davis and you look on film

1069
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, Wow, Shakira's open again. I didn't. I didn't.

1070
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing it to him. You know, I'm oh,

1071
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, look at look at Kincaid. I'm you know,

1072
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback will look at himself and say, yeah, I gotta,

1073
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: I gotta, you know, what I gotta start looking at that.

1074
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: And that's a little bit of Joe Brady too, saying Joshi,

1075
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: look at here, Look Josh, I know, have that little

1076
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: laser pointer. He'll be circling Shakir standing there for an

1077
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: easy throw when he's trying to fit it in over here.

1078
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: To Gabe Davis and those kind of conversations are how

1079
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks get better. And certainly something changed down the stretch,

1080
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: and we may never know exactly what it was or

1081
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: what mixture of what it was to the change down

1082
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: the down the stretch. Something did.

1083
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and to Matt on

1084
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 2: a cell. What's up, Matt, hey, guys, how you doing it?

1085
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 8: I think kind of like the last call, I think

1086
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 8: the receiving group in general, like the backs, they're not

1087
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 8: the backs, the wide receivers. The tight ends are going

1088
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 8: to surprise us because I don't really see much of

1089
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 8: a drop off for a couple of reasons. First is

1090
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 8: that I think Kincaid is going to elevate to one

1091
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 8: of the top five tight ends in the league this year.

1092
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 8: He was not even thought in the downfield passing game

1093
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 8: for like the first ten weeks of the season. All

1094
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,439
Speaker 8: he was doing, is catching like five yards little check

1095
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 8: down passes, through being a safety blanket to the point

1096
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 8: where everyone's clamoring for why isn't he being used like

1097
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 8: Laporta was in Detroit where he was like all over

1098
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 8: the place, and then they finally started doing it and

1099
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 8: lo and behold, he was really good at it. So

1100
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 8: I think that's going to continue too.

1101
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: Is that I think.

1102
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 8: Shakiir is going to be taking a big step. He

1103
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 8: has been an advanced metrics superstar for the last two seasons.

1104
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 8: His rookie year he actually led the entire NFL and

1105
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 8: percentage of routes open against man coverage, and then last

1106
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 8: year he led the league in yards per target for

1107
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 8: any receiver with forty five or more target a Yuk

1108
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 8: was second. So I think him kind of showing what

1109
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 8: he did the last eight weeks of the season when

1110
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 8: he wasn't really used hardly at all in the first

1111
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 8: you know, seven or eight weeks is going to continue

1112
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 8: on into this year. And then I just think we've

1113
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 8: really diversified to the point. You know, you had Samuel

1114
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 8: in there, who's a great run after the catch and

1115
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 8: has a lot of speed. We got Coleman, who you know,

1116
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 8: everyone the fans might think he runs a slow forty time,

1117
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 8: but all of the ax NFL receivers that I've seen

1118
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 8: have raved about him. Irvin wanted the Cowboys to draft

1119
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 8: him with their first round pick. Shannon Sharp and Chad

1120
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 8: Johnson are going wild about him, saying it's going to

1121
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 8: be great for the Bills, And you know, he reminds

1122
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 8: me of Keenan Allen who also ran a four seven

1123
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 8: forty seemed to be worked out okay for the Chargers,

1124
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 8: and and Kwan Bolden who also ran in the four

1125
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 8: sixes and he seemed to work out okay. So that

1126
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 8: those are two kind of two of the receivers that

1127
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 8: he reminds me a little about with his size and

1128
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,959
Speaker 8: route running ability and catch ability. So I just think

1129
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 8: that we're going to be kind of like a pick

1130
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 8: your poison where each week it's going to be a

1131
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 8: different receiver that ends up kind of starring for the

1132
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 8: team based on what the defense has decided to take away,

1133
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 8: because I think I just don't think you can take

1134
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 8: away everything with we kind of diversify the skills, that's

1135
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 8: enough to where you know there's gonna be there's gonna

1136
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 8: be They're just gonna have to pick what they want

1137
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 8: to try and take away, and then we just take

1138
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 8: what they don't.

1139
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it makes sense, Matt. And we heard Brandon

1140
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 2: being say as much going into the draft that they

1141
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 2: wanted to diversify the skill set of the receiving core

1142
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 2: for that very purpose, so that defenses don't just play

1143
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 2: one way and have an answer for you. You got to

1144
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 2: have counters to those answers that the defense is spending

1145
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 2: on coming up with to try to stop you. So

1146
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 2: if you have a diverse skill set in your receiving corps,

1147
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 2: you can come up with another answer that might deviate

1148
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 2: from your initial game plan. But as we all know,

1149
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,919
Speaker 2: coordinators have contingencies in place, and knowing they have other

1150
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: things they can turn to because they're more than just

1151
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 2: a strong passing team or a strong underneath throwing team

1152
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: or a strong quick release passing game team, they have

1153
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 2: other elements to their passing game that they can turn to.

1154
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 2: They're a more dangerous offense. And I mean it's kind

1155
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 2: of common sense. I know, implementing it is harder than

1156
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 2: and executing it is harder than talking about it and

1157
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 2: planning for it.

1158
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,919
Speaker 1: But it's easier said than done, no question, But he's right,

1159
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: and there's a lot to be excited about in this offense.

1160
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: And I said earlier, I thought there's this offensive line.

1161
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Last year had a little bit of an unprecedented run

1162
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: where they, you know, all five guys started all seventeen games,

1163
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: a little unusual, so I don't know if you can

1164
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: count on that happening again. But with the absence of

1165
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris, I'm really excited about the center they drafted

1166
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 1: from Georgia, played at a high level, and he's young

1167
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: coming in put him next to Osiris Torrens. He got

1168
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: two very young guys inside. Connor McGovern is just in

1169
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: just now into his what he's gonna be in his

1170
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: sixth year, fifth or sixth year right in his wheelhouse,

1171
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: and of course Dion Dawkins. And they drafted a bunch

1172
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: of tackles as well. But you got Spencer Brown over there,

1173
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: Who's who's playing Edwards, David Edwards. This offensive line is

1174
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: going to be neck deep in dudes. And so even

1175
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: if they do trip up and don't get the good

1176
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,479
Speaker 1: fortune of being all five healthy all year, it really

1177
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: seems to me like they're gonna have some guys to

1178
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: plug in the make this offensive line not skip a beat,

1179
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: even when they've lost Mitch Morrison this offseason and have

1180
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: maybe or think maybe they are, Maybe they aren't. Now

1181
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: that they've they've drafted pron Granger. Yeah, Van pran Granger,

1182
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Van Praan Granger. Now maybe they plug that guy in.

1183
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: Maybe he comes in and does what Osiris Torrens did

1184
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: as a rookie, just step in and play and leave

1185
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern right where he's at. They got some options now,

1186
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: and it's not sexy. It's not this they quote explosive play,

1187
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: but those guys are gonna make it go. And having

1188
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: those guys as solid as it seems they are is

1189
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna make Josh's job easier, Kincage's job easier, James Cook's

1190
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: job way easier, and everybody else is gonna benefit from it.

1191
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: I said that off earlier, that the offensive line maybe

1192
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: even better than it was a year ago. It does

1193
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: depend a little bit on Van pran Granger and the

1194
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: good fortune of maybe keeping all five guys healthy. But

1195
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: if they don't, I don't think there's gonna be a

1196
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: drop off if they if they have to plug a

1197
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: guy in, I just love with on the on the

1198
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. I know, we're talking about

1199
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Coleman and how everybody won, and then we traded with

1200
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and everybody's you know, clutching their pearls. They

1201
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: don't worry. I don't. That side of the ball is

1202
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: not the worry. They got fewer question marks on the

1203
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball than most teams in the NFL,

1204
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: if not all of them. I mean, even the Chiefs

1205
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: have got more worries than the Bills do offensively because

1206
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,439
Speaker 1: they're trying to plug in big dudes up front. They've

1207
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: got to plug guys in. They have no choice. They

1208
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: stunk on the offensive line last year. They've got bigger

1209
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: worries than the Bills do. On the surf lease at

1210
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: the tackles they were pretty good and so, and then

1211
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: on on defense they got to you know, they put

1212
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: together a tremendous year this last year. But you know what,

1213
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: one of their guys is on our team, and another

1214
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: one left and went someplace else as well.

1215
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, lagarious snead.

1216
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, every team's gonna have problems and

1217
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: holes to don't don't get caught up to the Bills.

1218
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: I've got something problems nobody else has. Our problems are

1219
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: in large measure fewer and farther between than most teams.

1220
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: And they've done a really nice job of getting it

1221
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: back to where it was a year ago, if not better.

1222
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to Denny on a sale next. What's up, Jenny, Hey.

1223
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 9: I hope you guys are having a really good day.

1224
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 9: To tune in on the topic of position, and then

1225
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 9: I'm gonna wrap it into the Guardian helmet. It is

1226
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 9: either gonn tight ends is just gonna be as good

1227
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 9: as one of my favorite offenses of all time. I

1228
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 9: think one of the most dominant offenses of all time

1229
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 9: was the Patriots when they had Bronk and Air and Hernandez. Yeah,

1230
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 9: when we were talking about guardian helmets. You know Hernandez

1231
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 9: when he's down and had his reign dissected and he

1232
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 9: has TTD. There's been a lot you know, so many

1233
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 9: players that have killed themselves, donated their brain the science

1234
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 9: they killed themselves, and they've killed others. So obviously when

1235
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 9: you leave football, uh, you're you're not set up for

1236
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 9: success mentally speaking. So if the guardian helmets can help whatsoever, Uh,

1237
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 9: that's the way to go. And I don't understand whatsoever

1238
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 9: how that's gonna change the game and make it worse.

1239
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 9: It can extend careers. There's players whose careers have been

1240
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 9: shortened because of stuff like that. Think about Percy Harvin.

1241
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 9: That guy could have been one of the best players

1242
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 9: in the league. And the migraines and everything along those lines,

1243
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 9: you know, stop them from being the most exciting players

1244
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 9: in the league. So anything you can do the help

1245
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 9: would be great, you know. And you know I point

1246
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 9: to that New England teams as.

1247
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 2: One of the reasons wis Yeah, I appreciate that, Danny.

1248
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1249
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 2: They Steve always talks about how the Bills offense is

1250
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 2: a wagon. When they had Hernandez and Gronk rolling, you know,

1251
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 2: when Brady He's still in his prime, that was a wagon.

1252
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 2: There were no good answers for that passing attack because

1253
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 2: Hernandez was basically a receiver in a tight.

1254
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 1: End's body, and they'd line him up in the backfield too.

1255
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he was taking handoffs as a fullback at

1256
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: like six. He was a ridiculous, tremendous athlete. And that's

1257
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: one of the things. I mean, more and more you

1258
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: see guys who can do that, like Ayuk and Deebo,

1259
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:27,919
Speaker 1: Samuel Christian McCaffrey, even Gronk in his time, those guys

1260
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: could do things and in a bigger body, in a

1261
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: different physical package than most guys before them could do.

1262
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: You know, Derrick Henry is just a huge dude who

1263
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: can run fast, and he could run and he could

1264
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: break tackles, and he could carry the ball. You get

1265
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: to the the ultimate offense would be everybody is like

1266
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: six ' five three twenty, including your quarterback and your

1267
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: full back and your half back and your wideouts. And

1268
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: they can all run four threes, right, I mean they

1269
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: can all run four threes and got some jiggle. So

1270
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, that's that positionless football when you can plug

1271
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: a guy into half back and then split him out

1272
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: and make him a wide out, or bring him in,

1273
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: put him on the tack outside the tackle on he's

1274
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: blocking a linebacker out of the play. It's that positionless

1275
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: football that everybody kind of covets. Where we talk about

1276
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: where you build your offense around what your players do best. Well,

1277
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: what if you got eleven guys like that? You just

1278
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: go out there and tee it up and let's go.

1279
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,959
Speaker 1: You can call whatever play you want. See so that's

1280
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: the limitations of your players are just that, that's the

1281
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: limitations of your offense. So you want players that are

1282
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: limit more, limitless, And you know that's why they look

1283
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 1: at all these guys. They test all these guys with

1284
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: the same they test offensive line was with the same

1285
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: test they test the wide receivers. That tells you all

1286
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: you want to know. You know, they test the use

1287
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: the same test to test the big dudes as they

1288
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: do the athletes, not that they're not athletes, but it's

1289
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: it's it tells you all.

1290
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 2: You play positions that do very different things and perform

1291
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 2: very differently.

1292
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: But they don't care. They test them with the same tests.

1293
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: And that's that's what you got to get your mind around.

1294
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: You got to build an offense and a scheme that

1295
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: will take advantage of whatever the defense can't cover up,

1296
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: and it takes great The better athletes, the easier it

1297
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: is to do.

1298
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 2: To Mark and west senecon X, what's up Mark?

1299
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, A couple of different things today, real quick.

1300
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 10: Maybe you can I don't know anything about that helmet,

1301
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 10: but I have a correlation. My first love always has

1302
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 10: been hockey. I'm a hockey guy and I'm all and

1303
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 10: I love the Bills, don't get me wrong. But back

1304
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 10: in the day, I remember when they started putting helmets

1305
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 10: on in hockey and there was this outrage about, Oh,

1306
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 10: this looks this looks crazy. What are they doing? You

1307
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 10: can't see the flowing here, We don't know who the

1308
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 10: players are, you don't see their faces, and in a

1309
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 10: matter of about a short season to two seasons, it

1310
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 10: wasn't afterthought and nobody thought twice about it. So I

1311
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 10: don't think this whole helmet thing is really that big

1312
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 10: of an issue, but I would like an explanation as

1313
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 10: to what it actually is. And that's as far as

1314
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 10: your question today. I'm really enthralled about the defensive line

1315
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 10: and maybe you guys should go into a little bit

1316
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 10: of depth about the free agent defensive lineman they fined,

1317
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 10: but with what we retained was the top four russo

1318
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 10: Epineza Jones and Oliver if Kingsley. Jonathan takes a step

1319
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 10: forward and Ron steps back to somewhat of who he is.

1320
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 10: They could be a lot better on the defensive line

1321
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 10: than anybody really expects them to be. And then lastly,

1322
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 10: you guys were gushing about a linebacker in the draft

1323
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 10: this year, right, and I'm curious, do you know where

1324
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 10: he ended up?

1325
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: I did not see.

1326
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,799
Speaker 10: Okay, okay, they got a player there.

1327
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Then didn't and the Steelers got the other guy that

1328
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:58,919
Speaker 2: we loved, Peyton Wilson.

1329
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 10: So from I would have really loved to scene a

1330
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 10: guy that could have stepped in if anything goes wrong

1331
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 10: with Milano. But the kid they drafted, we'll see. Maybe

1332
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:14,560
Speaker 10: he's a carbon yeah Ufio right right, you know, the

1333
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 10: athleticism and all that, So we'll see what happens. But

1334
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 10: and I'm starting to get on board with Coleman. The

1335
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 10: more I hear about him, the more I hear what

1336
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 10: people say about him, I think he may be a

1337
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 10: nice fit.

1338
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, first and foremost, the Guardian helmet are the

1339
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 2: white bubble wrap looking protective raps that go over the

1340
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,480
Speaker 2: outside of the helmet. You see are the Guardian caps.

1341
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: Sink back to training camp highlights and stuff.

1342
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 2: You'll see a lot of the linemen wearing those, and

1343
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 2: those are the ones that they're gonna now have the

1344
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 2: option to wear in a game if they choose to

1345
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 2: do so. So I think that's why some people are like,

1346
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 2: what is that? Oh my gosh, it looks ridiculous, you know,

1347
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 2: so I get it. But at the same time, it's

1348
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 2: not your decision to make. It's the player in his

1349
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 2: own his own well being about if he wants to

1350
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 2: make that decision, he makes that decision.

1351
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Think about this. And you brought up hockey. I was

1352
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: kind of laughing. They said the same thing. When goalies

1353
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: wanted to wear masks, people poop pooed it and said

1354
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: they were weak, and they were they weren't tough enough

1355
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: to play in the NHL if they wanted to wear

1356
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:29,639
Speaker 1: a mask in goal. Yeah, in goal. I mean, here's

1357
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: the hollyhold. I mean we're still hanging on to I

1358
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: mean some of this, some of the stuff. And I'll

1359
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: say it again. You go back and watch the early

1360
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 1: days of the NFL and how physical it was. I'm

1361
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: talking about NFL films in the sixties and seventies where

1362
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: you get high, high resolution shots of guys in the

1363
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 1: pocket and get it's barbaric. It's barbaric. And you're you're

1364
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 1: thinking about head coaches who wouldn't want their who wouldn't

1365
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,640
Speaker 1: let head coaches in the NHL, who would not let

1366
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: their goal put a helmet put a mask on because

1367
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: he thought it was somehow sign a weakness. Yeah, sign

1368
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: a weakness. I don't know it. It's it's ridiculous. You

1369
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: can say what you want about the hip drop tackle

1370
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: and horse collar tackle and clipping and leg whipping and

1371
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: peel black peel back blocks and all the other words

1372
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: that we've come become familiar with. That's one thing. But

1373
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: not letting a guy wear a guardian helmet or a

1374
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 1: different style of helmet because it's safer, it does strike

1375
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 1: me as a little barbaric. So that doesn't let them

1376
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: wear the equipment they want. Who cares about that? But

1377
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 1: when you you know the rules changes, those are more

1378
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 1: I think, more in tune with maybe subtle changes of

1379
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: the game that become more profound over time. But I mean,

1380
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 1: you got everybody's wearn't a different helmet now they got

1381
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: quarterback specific helmets. Yeah.

1382
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 2: So as for the defensive line that she asked about,

1383
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 2: mark the guys behind the front line people Austin Johnson

1384
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 2: and Deshaun Williams on the defensive front at defensive tackle.

1385
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 2: Johnson's a guy that has been a starter for the

1386
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 2: last three years, you know, twenty twenty one with the Giants,

1387
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 2: the last two years with the Chargers, and he played

1388
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 2: in college with Daikwon Jones. You know, so I think

1389
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 2: that's a good fit. I think he's going to probably

1390
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 2: be Daikwon Jones backup Deshaun Williams. To me, as a

1391
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 2: rotational player, it's kind of bounced around the league a

1392
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 2: little bit. I think he's going to be in direct

1393
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 2: competition with Dwayne Carter to get that backup job behind

1394
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 2: at Oliver and then Casey two Hill I would call

1395
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 2: a rich man's Trent Murphy. You remember when the Bills

1396
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 2: brought in Trent Murphy early in the McDermot bean regime

1397
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 2: and the kind of player he was off the edge.

1398
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 2: I would say two Hill is in that mold. It's

1399
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:03,640
Speaker 2: a little bit more athleticism. So it's a guy that

1400
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 2: can certainly sets the edge in the run front and

1401
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 2: offers you a little bit of pass rush. I think

1402
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 2: he had five sacks last year, which is not bad

1403
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 2: for a rotational player. So they got some good depth

1404
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,679
Speaker 2: pieces behind the front liners. And yeah, I would tend

1405
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 2: to agree with you because we never Steve and I

1406
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 2: didn't pick as to who we thought position wise might

1407
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 2: surprise us the most. I'm bullish on the defensive line.

1408
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 2: I am with the additions that they made to that group,

1409
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 2: because I think they have guys that are strong in

1410
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 2: different areas. You have designated pass rushers now, like a

1411
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 2: Javon Solomon kid who we heard Brandon Bean say here

1412
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 2: in studio yesterday, could be a designated pass rush specialist.

1413
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 2: And you got two Hill, who's a guy that can

1414
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 2: anchor in the run front kind of like Shaq Lawson

1415
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 2: used to do for you, and does offer some pass

1416
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 2: rush as well, especially if you reduce them inside.

1417
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: So the defensive end roster starts, it goes and this

1418
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: is you can go on the website and read this.

1419
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 1: It's Cameron Klein, who's been around for banking, practice squads,

1420
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: practice squad, Aja, Panessa Kingsley, Jonathan greg Russo, Casey two Hill.

1421
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 1: Then on the tackle side of it, they've got Elee Onku,

1422
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: Austin Johnson to Kwan Jones At Oliver Deshaun Williams. That's

1423
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: that's that's the extent of it on the website. Now

1424
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: there's some other guys, like you said, Carter's in there

1425
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: and some you know, some guys in there that the

1426
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 1: draft picks aren't on the roster yet. Because they're not

1427
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:27,799
Speaker 1: even signed. But I'm with you, those guys could surprise.

1428
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: I've said it before, I'll say it too. There's a

1429
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: couple of guys that I'm excited about, and most Bills

1430
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: fans have no other no reason to be excited about them.

1431
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Both like Kingsley Jonathan, I'm I'm excited about and I'm

1432
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: also excited about Vaughn. I think this is the kind

1433
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:48,280
Speaker 1: of year where Vaughn and we saw what happened with

1434
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 1: his contract.

1435
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 2: Took an eight and a half million dollar haircut.

1436
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 1: And he wants to be a part of this And

1437
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 1: at the end of last year and even in practice,

1438
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:01,759
Speaker 1: and so I was. I thought Vaughn looked as close

1439
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 1: to what he had looked like before as we had

1440
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 1: that you could tell now he didn't get any production

1441
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 1: last year, zero, right. I don't think that's going to

1442
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: remain that way. I think obviously it's hard to stay

1443
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 1: healthy when you're in the mid thirties. But if he does,

1444
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see who Vaughn is. And I

1445
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 1: think you know Vaughn, whether this is last year or

1446
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: not in the NFL. I think he's gonna want to

1447
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: contribute this year and I think he's gonna be able

1448
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: to do it. So there's some guys up there that

1449
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about that maybe a lot of Bills

1450
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: fans don't have a reason to be.

1451
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 2: Break time for us here when we come back, more

1452
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 2: of your phone calls lives in Buffalo will lead us off.

1453
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 2: We'll got some open lines for you at eight h

1454
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty. After the offseason changes to the roster,

1455
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 2: which Bill's position group do you think is gonna surprise

1456
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 2: us the most come this fall? You let us know

1457
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 2: next year. On One Bill's Live, presented by a lot

1458
01:16:49,120 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 2: of health It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back here

1459
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

1460
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 2: talking about the offseason changes to the roster and which

1461
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 2: position group you think is going to surprise us the

1462
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 2: most for the Bills this coming season. And to Liz

1463
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 2: in Buffalo next, what's up Liz?

1464
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 11: Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm really excited about all the new

1465
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 11: faces out at One Bill Bills Drive with the coaches

1466
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 11: and the players that they picked up, and personally, I

1467
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 11: think the whole team is going to be a surprise,

1468
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 11: and so much as there will be so many different

1469
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 11: facets to the team, and how many different looks and

1470
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 11: schemes that they can put together. Nobody in the NFL

1471
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:51,799
Speaker 11: will know what to expect from one week to the next.

1472
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 2: Well, there has been that kind of turnover this offseason,

1473
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 2: certainly the most in the Bean McDermott era. So I've

1474
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 2: got no reason to disagree with you. They are gonna

1475
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 2: look different, if not in scheme, in name, and who's

1476
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 2: doing the jobs out there. Yeah, I especially on defense.

1477
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how big a difference it is

1478
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 1: when you get a new coach coaching you in football,

1479
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: it's it's really it really makes a big difference. I

1480
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 1: don't know what it's like in other sports. I can't

1481
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: speak to those, but I know this. In football. You

1482
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: have to practice football every day. You have to. You

1483
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: got to practice a lot. It's not like you know,

1484
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,600
Speaker 1: my kids played youth hockey. They'd have practice once a

1485
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: week and then have game. They just play the games,

1486
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of games, not so much practice.

1487
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: Football is just the opposite. You practice all the time.

1488
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: Because there's so many moving parts and so many guys

1489
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: with specialized jobs. You got to practice every day just

1490
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: to get to the game. It makes an enormous difference

1491
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 1: what voice teaches you and what kind of person is

1492
01:18:56,880 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: teaching you your plays and your techniques, and what how

1493
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: you feel because you know you can you can imagine

1494
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: when you've got a bunch of kids you're coaching in football,

1495
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:08,959
Speaker 1: it's no different from men. You got to get them

1496
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 1: to get around the fact that it may hurt to

1497
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:16,599
Speaker 1: play the game. You may really feel like you're gonna

1498
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: get bumped and bruised, you're gonna get knocked down, You're

1499
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna have guys piled on top of you. There's gonna

1500
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 1: be moments when it's no fun. Other sports don't really

1501
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: have that kind of atmosphere. So you really need a

1502
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: coach that you trust and who's prepared and who can

1503
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: give you something to use in those moments. You know,

1504
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: the preparation's key. So yeah, the new coaches on the

1505
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: Bill's staff. We may never be able to tell exact

1506
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: exactly why it's so different, or why the team looks

1507
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,599
Speaker 1: in or maybe why the team took a step forward

1508
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: or step back or sideways, or why it looks different.

1509
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: Whatever the results are, you may never know, but it's

1510
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,719
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot to do with new and different

1511
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: voices that are with these guys all day, every day,

1512
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: giving them something to you know, to hang on to

1513
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 1: in those tough moments. I can't tell you how big

1514
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: a difference a football coach can make in a player's career,

1515
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: in his life, and certainly year to year. You'll have

1516
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: guys all the time, old athletes said well, I had

1517
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: a football coach that really got me on the right track.

1518
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,560
Speaker 1: It's a real mentorship role and they take it very seriously.

1519
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: Now It's obviously it's a little different at the pro

1520
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 1: level than it is as a kid, but it does

1521
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: still have that same effect it can. And so I'm

1522
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: kind of with you, Liz, I'm excited to see if

1523
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,759
Speaker 1: these new coaches get forget about all the great players

1524
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 1: they've got, you know, maybe these new coaches and the

1525
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 1: little bit different, you know, with Joe Brady and with

1526
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, Bob Babbage and these guys that are stepping

1527
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: up now this full off season, it may be a

1528
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 1: little bit of a catalyst for some positive change. And

1529
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 1: certainly on an individual basis, there's no question guys are

1530
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: going to have a different feel and a different take

1531
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: on what their seasons like or what going to be.

1532
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: So it's you're right, there's a lot of reasons to

1533
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: be excited and there's every reason to be encouraged by it.

1534
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 2: Scheme might be the same on defense, but it's your

1535
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 2: third coordinator in three years. Yeah, you have different and

1536
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 2: we don't know who's calling it yet. And coach McDermott

1537
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 2: basically told us right before the draft that decision is

1538
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 2: probably not going to be made until they get through

1539
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 2: training camp and potentially through the preseason, because I think

1540
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 2: for coach McDermott, it's about seeing it. He wants to

1541
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 2: see Coach Babbitt you do it, and he'll give him

1542
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 2: plenty of opportunity not only in the practice setting through

1543
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 2: the course of the spring and in training camp, but

1544
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 2: in preseason games as well, and if he likes what

1545
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,719
Speaker 2: he sees, he'll be calling the place.

1546
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 1: My guess is nothing has been decided, but they have

1547
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 1: decided on how they're going to decide. You know, they've

1548
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: got a plan to find out if we're gonna be

1549
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: able to do it your way or we're gonna have

1550
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: you call it or me. We'll see how it looks

1551
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: with you doing it and with me doing it, and

1552
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: we'll go from there. So that's probably all that's been

1553
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: decided at this point. But it's big, no question about it.

1554
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 2: Let's get to the tweets sheet, brought to you by

1555
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 2: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1556
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. As you guys way in there on the

1557
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 2: position group that you think will surprise the most come

1558
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 2: this fall, John says safety. In my opinion, I think

1559
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 2: Bean nailed it. It's interesting, Steve, that a lot of

1560
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 2: people see Cole Bishop as a year one starter. Now

1561
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 2: they have Taylor Rapp who they re signed to a

1562
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 2: three year contract, and they added Mike Edwards in free

1563
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 2: agency from Kansas City who had a whale of a

1564
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:39,719
Speaker 2: second half of a season after they lost their starting

1565
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 2: free safety Brian Cook for the season. And he played

1566
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 2: for that team all the way to the Super Bowl

1567
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:46,600
Speaker 2: and played admirably, And I think it's one of the

1568
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:48,759
Speaker 2: reasons why the Bill saw him as an attractive option.

1569
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,759
Speaker 2: And to me, those are the two guys I'm penciling

1570
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 2: in as starters. And listening to Brandon Bean after the

1571
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 2: draft talk about Bishop and the player he is. They

1572
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 2: clearly love him, but he also had a word of caution.

1573
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 2: He said, safety in this defense is responsible for a lot.

1574
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: Now.

1575
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 2: It's not that they don't believe Cole Bishop can handle it,

1576
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 2: but knowing all the other things he's got to get

1577
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 2: to accustomed to as well, which is getting used to

1578
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:20,600
Speaker 2: playing with the guys around him, the speed of the

1579
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 2: pro game as opposed to the college game. There's a

1580
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 2: lot on his plate right now.

1581
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,679
Speaker 1: It's interesting too. I don't know if there's another team

1582
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: whose fan base is so in tune to what a

1583
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: different safeties make after watching Poyer and Hide and hearing

1584
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 1: the rhetoric coming from opponents about our team and defensively

1585
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 1: about and how prominent Hide and Poyer were in those conversations,

1586
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 1: and when other teams were filled with you know, kind

1587
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: of respect and a lot of praise for what they

1588
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,919
Speaker 1: were facing and the Bill's safeties. I think Bill's fans

1589
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: feel like they have an idea of like how important

1590
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: that is now? Right. I mean, we were taught because

1591
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:03,680
Speaker 1: we had this group that we're difference makers because all

1592
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: our opponents told us they're killing us. Because it's hard

1593
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 1: to watch safeties when you're watching the game because you

1594
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: know all of us, even the TV, you know you're

1595
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,680
Speaker 1: watching the ball twenty yards from the ball, right, you're

1596
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: watching the ball and you don't even see those guys

1597
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: on the screen anymore. But Bill's fans, particularly the ones

1598
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: that go to the stadium, they they have an idea

1599
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: or they feel like we all feel like we have

1600
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: an idea, Like we're the fan base who understands safeties, right.

1601
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: So and then when they see the Bills draft, Cole

1602
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 1: Bishop is like, ah, I told you right. So we're

1603
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: all excited about it, and so is he. We'll see

1604
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: it is a big ass for him to step in

1605
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: and play starting safety on day one in the NFL.

1606
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:47,560
Speaker 1: It's a big ask. It's a big ass because safeties

1607
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: are guys who a lot of their prowess and a

1608
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,799
Speaker 1: lot of their the assets they bring to the defense

1609
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: are from the neck up, and that takes a little

1610
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: while to digest. So we'll see.

1611
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 2: Ryan on the tweets, she says, I think the secondary.

1612
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 2: I love the Bishop pick and the veterans added and

1613
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 2: Mike Edwards paid with Taylor Rapp. I love the complete

1614
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 2: group they have. McDermott is known to coach those guys up,

1615
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 2: and let's not forget coach McDermott's a former safety himself.

1616
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean that tracks, and you've got to

1617
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 2: those guys gotta know what they're doing, because it's not

1618
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 2: like he got Tredevius White on one side, you know,

1619
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 2: who's been playing there for seven years. You got Rasul

1620
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,919
Speaker 2: Douglas who's played all the eight games with the Bills

1621
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 2: in this system and was still learning it down the

1622
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 2: stretch in the playoffs, and they got ben Ford and

1623
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 2: Elam and the new kid day Kwan Hardy was probably

1624
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 2: gonna back up Taron Johnson as a nickel.

1625
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: I am excited about Elam. I want to see him

1626
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: get more opportunity, and of course Taron Johnson to keep

1627
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 1: on keeping on all that. But I yeah, you can

1628
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 1: make a case for the secondary being the position group

1629
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: you're most excited about in this team, and because I'm

1630
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: I am, there's a lot of reasons to be excited about.

1631
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 1: Mike Edwards is a huge, a huge grab. I think

1632
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:04,679
Speaker 1: he's gonna help.

1633
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 2: Dinah on the tweets, she says wide receiver. There's been

1634
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 2: a lot of angst in social media since the Digs trade,

1635
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 2: but I think we have a great room and with

1636
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 2: Josh throwing the ball, will have a great season. Yeah,

1637
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:16,720
Speaker 2: I mean as long as you got seventeen, you got

1638
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 2: a chance. And as Steve has said on the show before,

1639
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 2: he is a player and a quarterback of the caliber

1640
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 2: who can raise the level of the players around him.

1641
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 2: So hopefully that takes place. We got to take a

1642
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:32,720
Speaker 2: break here, but we'll squeeze in one more phone call

1643
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 2: when we come back. Matt and Hamburg, hang tight, we'll

1644
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 2: get to you when we return. Here on One Bill's Live,

1645
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:52,720
Speaker 2: presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

1646
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 2: one last segment here on One Bill's Live, and let's

1647
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 2: squeeze in a phone call. We go to Matt in Hamburg.

1648
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Matt, you're on One

1649
01:26:59,240 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 2: Bill's Live.

1650
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 12: Hey, good asking, and gentlemen, I'm calling just because i'd

1651
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 12: like some insight that don't mistake this for Bills bashing

1652
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 12: or being bashing or whatever. We let Matta risea go

1653
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 12: when there were some accusations against him, and now we're

1654
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 12: in a position where Bean seems to be basement bargain

1655
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 12: hunting for wide receiver, and even though it's kind of

1656
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 12: a long shot, he goes ahead and signs quint Decephus,

1657
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 12: who has some similar accusations from his past, even though

1658
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:32,600
Speaker 12: they seem to have been resolved.

1659
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 3: Then he comes to.

1660
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 12: The NFL, he spends twenty one and twenty two on

1661
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 12: injured reserve both seasons, and then he gets suspended for

1662
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 12: gambling in twenty twenty three, and even as a long

1663
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 12: shot where we might get a good deal on him,

1664
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 12: it just seems so counterintuitive to the personnel that they

1665
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 12: generally would keep on hand. I don't know what they're

1666
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:52,679
Speaker 12: thinking there.

1667
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a fair question. We had Brandon

1668
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 2: Bean in studio yesterday and Steve he asked him about

1669
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 2: the SIFAS signing which was made official, and I think

1670
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 2: he sees him as, you know, a depth piece for

1671
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 2: the receiving corps. The words that Brandon used was, you know,

1672
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 2: the number four receiver role is something that he thinks

1673
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 2: that he could compete for. I know that they check

1674
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 2: everybody out and look, the guy got caught using a

1675
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 2: gambling app on his phone while he was in the

1676
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 2: Lion's facility, and he was one of a handful of

1677
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:34,720
Speaker 2: guys that got suspended last year. I do remember back

1678
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 2: at Wisconsin that yes, he was found not guilty on

1679
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 2: assault charges, so yes, he has a passed, But the

1680
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 2: Bills do their due diligence on that kind of stuff,

1681
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 2: so we'll just have to see where it goes. Does

1682
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:56,680
Speaker 2: that mean that the organization is compromising. I don't think so,

1683
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 2: but I can't definitively say for sure because I'm not

1684
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 2: part of those due diligence efforts, so I don't know

1685
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 2: to what lengths they go, but I would I would assume,

1686
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 2: based on the track record here that they go to

1687
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 2: extraordinary lengths to vet people out right.

1688
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't just pick his name out or have they.

1689
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 1: There's no question they talked to the Detroit guys too

1690
01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: about him, So you're right, it's nice to question. Don't

1691
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: think the Bills didn't because they they probably did talk

1692
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: to the guys in Detroit talk to a lot of

1693
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 1: people about him before they just before they signed him.

1694
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is dissuaded by the gambling thing, but.

1695
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 2: Because that was just what he served his penalty for it.

1696
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he did something for it. So we'll see.

1697
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 2: That's it for us today, Steve, and I back at

1698
01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:42,679
Speaker 2: you tomorrow. We'll see it once
