Speaker 2: Come see us on this mild, mild weather day.

6
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I want to believe that the worst

7
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: is behind us. With that treacherous and well sometimes dangerous

8
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: cold snap that we had in late January early February,

9
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm I want to say the worst is behind us.

10
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: I don't know that I feel confident saying that, but

11
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: I think I just want to speak that into existence

12
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: and manifest.

13
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: Let me just state on that statement that question, and

14
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 3: then I'll give you an answer. I I haven't really

15
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: thought about whether the worst was behind us or not.

16
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: It's been bad. It's been bad, but I also know

17
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: what it is to ask for more, and that's one

18
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: way of doing it, saying that the worst is behind us. Well,

19
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: so I think it might be end.

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: Up to forty this weekend, which is great. I might

21
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: see my.

22
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: Driveway might be a rookie mistake right there, Brown, He's saying,

23
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: I might I.

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: Might see my driveway again. So I'm excited about that. Yeah,

25
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: that's like that's like you haven't gotten down to concrete

26
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: in a month.

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: That is like you putting the heggs on the opposing

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: kicker by saying he just has he's made. He has

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: not made in a row, he has not missed in

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: the month of December.

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120

35
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,160

Speaker 1: will answer.

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: One of the things. We came in. We did the

57
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: show here about a month ago, I guess maybe maybe

58
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: a little more than a month now. The Olympics are

59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: going on. They got all the new hair, the Olympic cats.

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: Behind this is Spectator.

61
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: I think this one's my favorite right here, the black

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: one there, the navy blue. It's it's deep navy, which

63
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: is which is uh because if you looked at the

64
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: Olympic uniforms, which are Ralph Lauren actually Polo by Ralph Lauren.

65
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: My my daughter corrected me. She works in the fashion industry.

66
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: She goes, Dad, that's not really Ralph Lauren. It's Polo

67
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: by Ralph Lauren.

68
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: My mistake. You know the guys on the horse with

69
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: the polo club.

70
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: And these these hats are great.

71
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: They got these new eras making the hair.

72
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: They're funded they're vented on the top, you know, like

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: with you see the mesh, these have cut out. These

74
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: are this tiny little stars. Look at that cut out

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: as the mesh and they're.

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: All little stars, which I thought was really going.

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: To say United States Olympic team, just all of it.

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: It's they're sharp.

79
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: It's the official gear. I mean, you want to get

80
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: geared up, you can come in here for that too.

00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, like, I'm a sucker for that stuff.

00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: they hit it out of the park with the uniforms.

86
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: This year they got some of those zip up warm

87
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: ups things. Oh my gosh. I was watching it with

88
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: my wife last night. I was like, I gotta have that.

89
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: I know.

90
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm nowhere near Olympic level, but I want to look

91
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: like some.

92
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: I could use some retail therapy with some heavy duty

93
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: winter stuff.

94
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: So Steve, I know you told me, you told me

95
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: yesterday that in high school you were a pole vaulter. Yeah,

96
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: did you ever think about going the Olympic route like

97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: instead of you know, college football and.

98
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: Like that it threw my back out. Once I got it,

99
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: it kept it kept my vertebrate kept rotating. So I

100
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: had kept going to get a chiropractic adjust Oh god

101
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: as a teenage doctor. Yes, yeah, yeah, that's not said.

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: You know, you should probably just give it. I was like, okay,

103
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: so I did.

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: But you ran a lot of sprint events.

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 3: Oh, running was fine. Yeah, pole vaulting is different.

106
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: No, no, I know that. But all I'm saying is

107
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: there were a bunch of events you could have chosen

108
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: from that participated in.

109
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: I did long jump, triple jump once, or I did

110
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: triple jump.

111
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: More than those triple jump guys are like all six

112
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 1: or five though right now they're all these long string beat.

113
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: Guys shot at it.

114
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,000

Speaker 1: Like if you want to tell me. I was a

126
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: little guy, so I'd never thought about hurdles. I would

127
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,360

132
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,560

00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: like a fifty four year old exactly.

134
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

135
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: I love exactly. So you know what, It's opened up

136
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,520

Speaker 1: throws that sent the rock down is the one telling

160
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: you how much to sweep. It's like, dude, I'm standing

161
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: right next to the thing. I can see how fast

162
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: it's moving. Well, yeah, I probably have a better vantage

163
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: point than you do.

164
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: But they sweep it also to help it bend. No,

165
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: I know, Well, so that's what he's right. He's down

166
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: the barrel, so he sees the land. He can tell

167
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: him which direction. You know that more more or less?

168
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: You know, you know, I mean, come on, yeah, So

169
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: it's believe me, they know what they're doing. They're Olympic athletes.

170
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: For crying out loud, so's I've really enjoyed it, though,

171
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: I gotta say, And the hockey, the men's hockey yesterday,

172
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: the men, the US Men taking the ice, Taje Thompson

173
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: hitting a nice little backhand roofy.

174
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: I liked the brock Nelson goal. The tic tac toe

175
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: passing they got.

176
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: They got caught in a bad change and there was

177
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: four on two and they were just decided. They were

178
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: just wondering who's gonna score this, And the poor goalie

179
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: sitting there. There was a couple of breaks. He was

180
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: like bent over, just heaving just he couldn't get enough oxygen.

181
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: I mean they were wearing him out.

182
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: I saw some goals.

183
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: It was the shots on goal were thirty to ten.

184
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Somebody tweeted the brock Nelson goal and they said, this

185
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: is what the man who invented hockey envisioned when he

186
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: invented the sport.

187
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: Tic tac to. It was really pretty tic tac toe passing.

188
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was amazing, but it's fun and that the Yeah,

189
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: the hockey is going. The women are playing today at

190
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: three ten right, they're dropping the puck. Yes, and so

191
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: you got to catch that the loge in the downhill

192
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: the bob sleds, the skeleton two man lose Bob Sled,

193
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: all of that. It's I've been riveted. And then then

194
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 3: the giant slalom down last night was the or the

195
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: Super G Super G.

196
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: Have you seen the drone shot of that through the

197
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: first four gates?

198
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: Dude, it's like a it's like a sixty degree in climb.

199
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: No, thanks, Bud.

200
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: It goes from Here's the thing. You've always been inspired

201
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: by Olympic athletes, right, we all you grew up in

202
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: the in the you know, in the in the back

203
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 3: in the day and watching Eric Yeah and all of that,

204
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: and you man, you're inspired by them. They're so great,

205
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: it is so good. And any then you get nowadays,

206
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: you get the drone footage just like, oh, they're insane. Yeah,

207
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: I didn't know they were crazy. That's hard. I thought

208
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: they were inspiring, you know, Olympian athletes. No, they're crazy

209
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: people going down there, going down the side of this

210
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: cliff eighty miles and eighty miles an hour, Yeah, with no.

211
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: With no brakes. Really, what are you doing? Yeah?

212
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: My wife even said it last night. So we're watching

213
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: the end from inspiration to horror, the end of.

214
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: The Super G.

215
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: There's a pretty steep slope to kind of you know,

216
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: zoom right through the finish line. And I'm just gonna

217
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: say this, My wife and I skied recreationally for about

218
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: ten years when our kids were younger, strict recreational skiers,

219
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: to the point where my wife was still doing the

220
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: pizza sliced, you know, down the hill just to get

221
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: she's she's watching the end of this. She goes, I

222
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: don't think i'd be able to stop. I'd hit that

223
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: wall every time I said, hone, with all due respect,

224
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: you'd be in you'd be in the fourth row.

225
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: Well, with all due respect, you'd be sliding down on

226
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 3: your behind because you fell back there. Oh yeah, you

227
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: bailed just right. You bailed like, you know, a quarter

228
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: of a mile back. Yeah, so that footage has I

229
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 3: watched the Super G and for a stretch there, nobody

230
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: could get out get down the mountain. There was like

231
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: a string of like three or four women competitors who

232
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: they all crashed. They all crashed. And the Italian girl

233
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: who was in a hospital three weeks before with an

234
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: injury from doing it.

235
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: What it? Yeah, it was wild.

236
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: That's amazing. That's where you start thinking like, Wow, what

237
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: does it I mean, I will say this except the

238
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: courage to just make it down.

239
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Well, I will say this because we've seen the Italian

240
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: team win a lot of the luge medals and they'll

241
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: probably be in contingent for some of the bob s

242
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: led medals because they've been practicing on those tracks the

243
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: last three months before everybody got there.

244
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

245
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like an inherent home field advantage in the Olympics.

246
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, bless their hearts, they're the Italians. Let them do it.

247
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, you know what they've given us

248
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: in food is payment enough.

249
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: That's right. The host city and the host country has

250
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: always got a big boost in the metal count, and

251
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: certainly the Italy is no different.

252
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: There's their training extremely well.

253
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody else comes in and gets a few practice

254
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: runs in, Well, they turn it on and the Italians

255
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: are like, this is their home, their living room.

256
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: So we want to remind you that we are on

257
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: location at New Era cap Headquarters one sixty Delaware, av

260
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: to the OBL Friday fan mailbag about the bills, the NFL,

261

262
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: We will take your question live on the air and say, yeah,

263
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm Bob from Buffalo and I just walked in

264
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: and here's my question.

265
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: There you go.

266
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: That is available for selection today if you are so inclined.

267
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: No one at the moment. We can't take phone calls

268
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: as we make this change over. We are streaming live

269
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: on Buffalo bills dot com as well as the Bills app,

270
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: and obviously we're still on MSG each and every day,

271
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: so thanks for tuning in. No real Bills notes to

272
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: speak of at this moment. We may be getting some

273
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: news a little bit later this afternoon, but let's go

274
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: around the NFL, which is presented by Colida Health. And

275
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: this news came down earlier today. The NFL has won

276
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: a grievance filed in court against the NFLPA for its

277
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: publication of team report cards voted on by NFLPA membership.

278
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: The arbitrator ruled that the publication of these report cards

279
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,359
Speaker 1: is disparaging towards NFL clubs and it violates the CBA

280
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: because of it, and they issued in order prohibiting the

281
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: NFLPA from publicizing these team reports in the future.

282
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: Now.

283
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: For those who don't remember, Jets owner Woody Johnson dismissed

284
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: his team report card in twenty twenty four as quote

285
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: totally bogus.

286
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Because the Jets got an F from their own players.

287
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 3: The the statement that the league put out also said

288
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: that that the staffers who were interviewed and and in

289
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: the in the deposition said, yeah, we totally slanted it

290
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: the way we wanted to slant it. They took.

291
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: In the Jets locker room, so we gave them an F.

292
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: That's right. They totally cherry picked the quotes and chose

293
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: the narrative, and it was the you and you know.

294
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: Portally it was the union who was trying to do

295
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: some favors for the players, saying, listen, we would love this.

296
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: If you know what will make that better, will publicize

297
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: this and embarrass them, right, see if he violates the CBA.

298
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: So that's off the table. Now they can still do

299
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: the surveys and send them to teams, but they cannot

300
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: be publicized.

301
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: And so that yeah, so that was it was just

302
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: saying give them grades was one thing, but slanting the

303
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: whatever finger quotes data and making the public was was

304
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: outside was out of bounds.

305
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Patriots wide receivers to Fawn Diggs on Friday, that was

306
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: the This morning, pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation among

307
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: other criminal charges stemming from an alleged dispute with his

308
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: personal chef. The arraignment at Massachusetts Deadham District Court was

309
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: postponed until after the Super Bowl so Diggs could play

310
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: in the game. At the arrangement, Diggs was scheduled to

311
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: next appear for a pre trial hearing on April first.

312
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: So not a pretty situation there. His chef is a female,

313
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: by the way, so yeah, he got it. Allegedly slapped

314
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: her and strangled her, so not great.

315
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was rough.

316
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Patriots, defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, now cancer

317
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: free after battling prostate cancer during the season, is being

318
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: moved to a high ranking role within Verbel's coaching staff.

319
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what's much higher than defensive

320
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: coordinator other than assistant head coach.

321
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: Right, So that leaves a vacancy at DC.

322
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: According to the NFL Network, so insideline as coach Zach Kerr,

323
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: who filled in for Williams and got positive marks for

324
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: his play calling during the Pats run to the Super

325
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: Bowl is considered to be a top internal candidate. Now,

326
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: I will say this, Kerr did call the defensive plays

327
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl which weren't exactly impressive.

328
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: Shall we say.

329
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker ran wild on them after they had been

330
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: a very good run defense through the course of the playoffs,

331
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: especially when Milton Williams was healthy and in the lineup.

332
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: So how that factors into his candidacy, I don't know,

333
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: But his play calling was not impressive. That New England

334
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: staff got brutally out coached in the Super Bowl.

335
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, but they were pretty good.

336
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Kenneth Walker ran for like one thirty five and.

337
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: They got way better when Milton Williams was in, And

338
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: when he wasn't in, they weren't very good no matter

339
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: who's calling the places.

340
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: And when Blaine was out that wasn't good.

341
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of all this stuff. I hate

342
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: it when we do it too. I mean I do

343
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 3: it because it's easy and it you know, it's easy

344
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: to do and it makes sense, but it's not always right.

345
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: There's a million moving parts to just the defensive side

346
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: of a football team. Let alone, the offensive side and

347
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 3: the whole team. So to pin it on one thing

348
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: is enough. But I think inside the building, the scrutiny

349
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: is always the highest from the building itself, the head coach,

350
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 3: because they got to get results right. They can't mess around.

351
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: So if they're telling you that Kerr did a nice job,

352
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: I believe them because they know what's going on in there,

353
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 3: and well, there were a lot of things that went

354
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 3: right for that exactly, and I just I wouldn't. Yeah,

355
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with him, not that we've

356
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: got no love loss for the Patriots either, but it

357
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: doesn't matter to me. Right they did. They had a

358
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: nice run in a season where it didn't look like

359
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: they were going to Yep, they were three. They were

360
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: three and fourteen last year and went to the Super Bowl. Yeah,

361
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: you get to keep your job and in fact get

362
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: a promotion.

363
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: Retired thirty four year old quarterback Derek Carr has put

364
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: a couple of qualifiers on his potential return to the NFL.

365
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: Carr could unretire this year, provided the right situation and

366
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff materialized. On his own podcast with older brother

367
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: and co host David Carr, Derek Carr said of a

368
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: possible return to the NFL.

369
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: Quote, would I do it? Yes?

370
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: Would I do it for anybody? Absolutely not. I told

371
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: you two things. I have to be healthy and I'd

372
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: want a chance to win a Super Bowl. And obviously

373
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: that's a tough thing to find. That's hard to do,

374
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: that's not easy. Based on that quote, one thing we

375
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: do know, he's not going to be playing for the

376
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: Jets offense.

377
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm out of line and saying I

378
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: never say never.

379
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: He was getting linked to the Jets because of his

380
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: friendship with Aaron Glenn. Now he's got qualifiers, saying I

381
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: I need to have a chance to win a championship.

382
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if you sign with the Jets,

383
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: he got a one in thirty two chance, but your

384
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: chances are in the thousands.

385
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, tens of thousands. Maybe.

386
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: Come on, all it takes is all it takes is

387
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: an extra zero on the contract he's in. You know what,

388
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: I think the Jets can win the Super Bowl. I'm in.

389
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: Okay, how that's what happened.

390
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: Derek Carr does that, he's gonna end up like David

391
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: Carr and get sacked seventy six times like David Carr

392
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: did in his rookie season with Houston.

393
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe book it. Maybe we'll see, but you know

394
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 3: they could. There's he hasn't talked to these teams yet.

395
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: He also said he has to be healthy, which I

396
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: thought was an interesting comment for him to make because

397
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: he left largely because of his shoulder injury. Does that

398
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: mean he didn't get the surgery needed for that?

399
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: Is he not?

400
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: Dude? This whole conversation started because he said he was. Yeah,

401
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 3: so take that with a grain of salt too. Come on,

402
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: I have this is his brother's podcast. Yeah, you think

403
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 3: his brother asked him to be on.

404
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: Come on?

405
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: No, he said, hey, let me come on. I got

406
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: some stuff I need to get out. Dude.

407
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: Two cars, two cars, two car garage.

408
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 3: Cool. I like it.

409
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: You can come up with a whole bunch of yeah

410
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: titles for them.

411
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: Two cars between two cars on.

412
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: Derek Carr. He's going to play this coming year?

413
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: You think so? Okay?

414
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: Yes, the demand is going to be too high and

415
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: it's not a great quarterback class in it's going to

416
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 3: be too high. There's not enough great quarterbacks. I think

417
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: Mendoza is going to be pretty good. I really do.

418
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would he's really sharp.

419
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: That's really really smart guy cal Berkeley in three years.

420
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's.

421
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: Only because he didn't go IVY League, because he could

422
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: have gone IVY League and instead goes to cal Berkeley.

423
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: That's that's your guy. So I think he's going to

424
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: play very well. I think, but behind him, everybody is

425
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: the question, very big rule of So Derek Carr becomes

426
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 3: option one A if you're not the first pick of

427
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 3: the draft.

428
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals have filled out their coordinator positions. They're

429
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: retaining Nick Rallis as defensive coordinator after a full search.

430
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: He had worked under Jonathan Gannon, who was ousted. They

431
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: also announced the hiring of Michael Gobriel as their new

432
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator. He comes over from the Giants, but

433
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: had worked with Mike Lafleur when they were on the

434
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: Jets coaching staff together under Robert Salah, so there's the

435
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: familiarity in the connection there. Ram's assistant head coach and

436
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: pass game coordinator, Aubrey Pleasant has been requested to interview

437
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: for the Raiders defensive coordinator job.

438
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: He's meeting with them today.

439
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks are going to interview Cardinals pass game special as

440
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: Connor Singer for their offensive coordinator position. He's only thirty

441
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: years old, but he interviewed for the Bears OC position recently,

442
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: as well as other quarterback coaching jobs. So Arizona is

443
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: trying to retain Singer under Lafloor and the Houston Texans

444
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: announced they have entered into negotiations with the Harris County

445
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: Commissioners on construction of a new practice facility as well

446
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: as a new mixed use complex to go alongside that.

447
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if the location has been determined yet,

448
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: but that announcement was made.

449
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: So they currently are housed right next door to Recliant.

450
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 3: Is it Reliant? It's nr NRG Stadium? Yeah, NRG Stadium

451
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: the right next door across the street from it. Nice facility,

452
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 3: but that's it. It's nice. It's not great, it's not

453
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: and you know how they are in Texas. It's not stupidous. Yeah,

454
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 3: everything's got to be bigger, and so my thoughts are

455
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 3: they probably move out away from there and upgrade. Maybe not,

456
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 3: though they may put it right where it is. The Astrodome

457
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 3: is right next to NRG as well. Have you seen that?

458
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, Energy Stadium dwarfs it.

459
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: I was a rookie inside places in there. I played

460
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 3: in there, and it looks like a speed bump next

461
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 3: to energy, I mean, the Eighth Wonder of the World.

462
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 3: The Houston Astrodome looks like I remember speed bump.

463
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: I still remember the Bad News Bears movie when they

464
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: went to play in the Astrodome. Do you remember that?

465
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: That was the the second I think I can't remember.

466
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: It was the first of the second to let them play,

467
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Let them play. They were gonna get chased off the

468
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: field because the Astros had to play somebody in a game.

469
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: You know, the game had to start, and the kids

470
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: didn't finish their game because it was tied or whatever.

471
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: And so one of the coaches pops out of the

472
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: dugout and he starts the crowd to chant let them play,

473

Speaker 2: Natural surface. They call that not asphalt.

483
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: Asphalt would have been a move sideways. Yeah, not up,

484
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 3: greater or down grade. It would have been sideways.

526
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: have Gilbert Manzano on Sports Illustrated NFL writer had some

527
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: interesting write ups. The one I was interested in was

528
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: he said, here are the eight lessons learned from the

529
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five NFL season. Good article, So we'll we'll

530
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: march through those with him. He also had the top

531
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: one hundred player projections for twenty twenty six, and he's

532
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: got a Buffalo Bill in the top top three there.

533
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: Just tell them, well, we'll figure out who that is.

534
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: I know who it is. It's not a lot of it,

535
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 3: and it's not on top three like number one, number one. Yeah,

536
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: Josh is the best player in football. And he's right, yep,

537
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: he said. It's not the most accomplished player, obviously because

538
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: he hadn't even been to a super but he's the

539
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 3: best guy. And we're making jokes about other teams and

540
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: their quarterbacks.

541
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because we have a unicorn, because we got the.

542
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: And that's part of part and parcel why the team's

543
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 3: in the situation they're in right now. They got they

544
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 3: gotta do something different. There's no reason for them to

545
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 3: be stymied in the playoffs every year, or at least

546
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: not good enough reason.

547
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: We are up against the break here, so we will

548
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,719

00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: news we thought might be coming. The full coaching staff

558
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: under Joe Brady has been finalized. In addition to the

559
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: three coordinators, the Bills have twenty assistant coaches, and ten

560
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: of those are holdovers from the previous staff that have

561
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: been retained. Good number of them on the offensive side

562
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: of the ball, like tight ends coach Rob Boris and

563
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: assistant offensive line coach Austin Gunnd among them. We knew

564
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: Mark Lubick and Dj Mangus on the offensive side of

565
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: the ball also retained defensive side of the ball.

566
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, Kelly Skipper running backs coach.

567
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: Also well, Pat Meyers new he is new, but he

568
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: had been here before, so it's his second stint with

569
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: the club, but he is a direct disciple of Aaron

570
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 1: Kromer worked under him previously when he worked here, so

571
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: that's the connection there. And then on the defensive side

572
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: of the ball, the holdovers are let me go to

573
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: the list here. Joe Dana, the secondary coach coach, retains

574
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: his position on the defensive side of the ball, and

575
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: Jason Rebrevich is a senior defensive assistant. He had previously

576
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: been an assistant defensive line coach under Sean McDermott last season.

577
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: And then the assistant special teams coach, Turner West is

578
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: still on the staff from last year two, along with

579
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: Millie Wilson, the offensive assistant and fellowship coach. So coaching

580
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: staff is assembled and finalized. So that's kind of the

581
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,920

605
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: and Berline was very close with John Fox. So we

606
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: got in those production meets and got some you know,

607
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,760

614
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: and you need a guy who has seen it all

615
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: and a guy who's been a head coach for three

616
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: different places.

617
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's seen it, especially as a first time head coach.

618
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 4: That's right.

619
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,520

620
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 3: be a wise because he's a great he's a personal

621
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: guy obviously, very knowledgeable, very well respected around the league,

622
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 3: and he's somebody you can go to and ask blunt questions.

623
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that'll be a good sounding board for coach

624
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: Brady if he comes across anything he hasn't experienced before,

625
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: which will probably be numerous in amount in number, you know,

626
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: being a head coach for the first time in the NFL.

627
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: Want to get to some of the questions on the

628
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, which as always is brought to you by

629
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

630
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and first question comes from Guy Tano. Would

631
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: you guys make a trade for Marvin Harrison for draft picks?

632
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: He has had no quarterback in Arizona and is coming

633
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: off an injury. I think he still has two more

634
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: years of being under controlled contract, played in cold weather

635
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. The Bills would love to trade for

636
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior. But if you think Arizona is giving

637
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: up a guy that they drafted in the top five

638
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: two years ago, I think you're crazy.

639
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: What enticement could you give the Arizona cardin You would

640
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: all have to overpay. Yeah, what enticement is there for

641
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: the Cardinals to do that? A number twenty five overall

642
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 3: pick come on twenty six, twenty sixth pick on the draft. No,

643
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: you're not going to get it done. So, yes, the

644
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: Bills are interested, but no, they're not going to trade

645
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: their new stadium for him, you know, which is about

646
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: what it would take.

647
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I know Marvin Harrison Junior had his

648
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: struggles early last season, but kind of came on later

649
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: in the season, was more productive and to me, his

650
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: best days are in front of him and at a

651
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: cost control, there's no reason for Arizon. It's one of

652
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: the few things Arizona has that's going for them, you know, Az,

653
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: they got to figure out their quarterback situation. Is Kyler

654
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: Murray staying or is he going?

655
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've have displayed too much dysfunction for it to

656
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: be Marvin Harrison's fault. Yeah, and so his lack of production.

657
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 3: I think if yeah, certainly, if he got out of

658
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 3: there and got into a better situation, whatever you want

659
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: to call it, Yeah, certainly he's a great player. He

660
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: has potentially to be a great player. He's as coveted

661
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 3: now as he was then. But you're not getting him

662
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 3: out of there. Yeah.

663
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a long shot at best, and you

664
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 1: would have to grossly overpay to pry him out of Arizona.

665
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: Peter asks, when do you think Michael.

666
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: Hoyt will be available to play? Hoyt and Rousseau would

667
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: be the answer to our edge. So Hoyt ruptured his

668
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: achilles in week seven, and that is typically a nine

669
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: to eleven month recovery. So week seven is mid to

670
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: late October and you go nine months from that, you're

671
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: in August. So we'll see what he's doing come training

672
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: camp time. He's a young player. I think he turns

673
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: twenty seven or twenty eight this year. That helps, But

674
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: I think to believe he's going to be full go

675
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: by the start of next season might be premature to

676
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: pin down right now can be done. We watched Shack

677
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: Thompson do it in eleven months last year. I mean

678
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: he came back from achille surgery when he ruptured his

679
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: achilles late September in twenty four and was full go

680
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: in training camp end of July. So that was not

681
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: ten months. Ten months and he was back and he's

682
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: thirty two.

683
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 3: It depends on two things. The REH have process and

684
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 3: Michael Hoyt.

685
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 2: Right second part of that question.

686
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that Rousseau is going to be kicked

687
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: out to outside linebacker.

688
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: To me, he's too tall and long.

689
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: I think he would be lining up at defensive end,

690
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: and they may actually ask him to put a little

691
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: weight on too, because he plays at about two sixty five.

692
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: Wouldn't surprise me if they ask him to play at

693
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: two seventy two seventy five, you know, is a five

694
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: technique defensive end in that three four system. Because to me,

695
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: him and Land and Jackson are too tall and Long

696
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: to play outside linebacker. Maybe there are some instances where

697
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: you could put him out there in an obvious pass

698
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: rush situation, but they're not speed rushers, you know, they're

699
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: more speed to power rushers. You got to put the

700
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: speed demons out there at outside linebacker in this system

701
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: to make it work. You think like Nick Benito and

702
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper think like that.

703
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 3: Hoy's gonna help when he's back, and if he's healthy,

704
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: he's like he did last year.

705
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: I mean, hoy could play out there, Hoyt could.

706
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 3: Play out there. What they do with Russau's going to

707
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 3: depend on his ability to make the switch. We don't

708
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: know what that's going to be. He's physically gifted to

709
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 3: do absolutely anything he wants, right, So we'll see what

710
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 3: that means.

711
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

712
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: So I think it's going to be very interesting this

713
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: offseason to see the players that are already on the

714
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: roster that they deem fits for this new defensive system

715
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: and which ones they might be looking to move out

716
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: in exchange for an asset that better fits them. I

717
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: think the trade market could be brisk this offseason because

718
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: of it.

719
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: We've talked about that before.

720
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: Peter also said secondary comment, he wants to keep Gilliam,

721
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: re sign him because he's said to become a free agent.

722
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: And Johnson, Ty Johnson, Ty Johnson still under contract. He

723
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: signed a two year deal last year. He's going to

724
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: be entering the second year of that this coming season.

725
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: But he says, you saw how much we miss Johnson

726
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: in the Denver playoff game. Don't mess with the offense. Yes,

727
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: he was a he was a costly absence. Suffer that

728
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: ankle injury in the Jets game in Week eighteen and

729
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 1: then could not play in Jacksonville and could not play

730
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: in Denver. And he's a pretty critical part of their

731
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: offensive package, particularly on third down where he's really.

732
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 2: Good hit the blitz, pick up and stuff like that.

733
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 3: I mean, not that it was a problem, but he

734
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: you know, he helps James Cook stay fresh that too,

735
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 3: and he also brings some skill set to the position

736
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: that you can't find just anywhere.

737
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: So and we had a long discussion about Gilliam yesterday.

738
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: You're not as I don't think you're as staunchly convinced

739
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: that he should be kept in the fold. I think

740
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: that was because you think they're gonna throw it a

741
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: whole lot more under Braid they.

742
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 3: Keep him, I would love to see him use him

743
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: more though.

744
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: Well as a pass catcher you're talking about, right, or

745
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: to carry the ball.

746
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: The ball, you know that that stuff goes a long

747
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 3: way to me. You know, when you give the ball

748
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: to an unexpected player or have a guy with some

749
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: with some skills. Whenever Reggie Gilliam contributes, it is like, Wow,

750
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 3: it's awesome, right, But it's like twice a season. But

751
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: and that's just because of the opportunities he gets.

752
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: Not to mention he's the chief push pusher. Let's not

753
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: forget that.

754
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 3: There is that.

755
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: Okay, not that you could get couldn't get somebody else

756
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 1: to do that, but he was pretty effective.

757
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's he's really good at it. So I'm

758
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm all for it. But unless they're they're thinking their

759
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 3: percentages run past are gonna skew significantly, Well.

760
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're all pretty convinced it's not gonna

761
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: be fifty to fifty pass run With Joe Brady as

762
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: head coach, I think they're gonna lean more into the

763
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: passing game.

764
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 3: Now.

765
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: To do that successfully, you're probably gonna have to augment

766
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: the talent at the skill positions.

767
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean that's always been the plan though, right,

768
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 3: they were trying to get good guys. They you know

769
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 3: that get good guys and keep them healthy would be awesome.

770
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 2: Well yeah, keeping them healthy, yes.

771
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that's where I'm sitting. And we

772
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 3: had this huge conversation. I kept saying it yesterday. The

773
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 3: offense has proven that it can be very productive with

774
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 3: what fans are perceiving as a lack of edge talent. Right,

775
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 3: there's still scoring points at a rate that's tops in

776
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 3: the league or very near the tops. They move the

777
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 3: football extremely well, and you can say, well, they're asking

778
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: Josh to do a lot. Yeah they are. That's his job.

779
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 3: They're scoring and they're moving the football. Certainly, if something

780
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 3: happens to Josh, we can all fold up the tenants anyway.

781
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 3: So let him do what he does and keep that

782
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: side of the ball as good as you can keep it.

783
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 3: And if you can get better over there, okay, But

784
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 3: sooner or later, you don't want you want to stay

785
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 3: away from being the Cincinnati Bengals who can score with anybody,

786
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: with t Higgins and Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow and

787
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 3: all that stuff going on, and their defense is given

788
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 3: up thirty.

789
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 2: Five and they can't stop anybody.

790
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: Literally, they're giving up thirty five. So yes, don't let

791
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 3: your offense go, don't forget about them, and try and

792
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 3: make them as good as you can.

793
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: But some point, well, I think we all expect defense

794
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: to be the focus this offseason, and.

795
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: Many it has been the focus.

796
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: Well, right, you gotta keep swinging well and you have

797
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: to add more now because the skill set of the

798
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: players you need has changed.

799
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: Well, based on the scheme you're gonna be.

800
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 3: You've got five defensive linemen who were big contributors are

801
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 3: free agents.

802
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: Right yeah, and a good thing five well, and a

803
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: good number of them might be on the way out

804
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: because they're not deemed to be a fit either. So

805
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: a lot of changeover coming on that side of the

806
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: ball this offseason for sure. Got to take a break here,

807

00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: one live on the mic if you're so inclined.

818
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: But we're going to take some time now to.

819
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: Get some details on an upcoming event here in Buffalo,

820
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 1: with Bridget Scott, director of the New Era Foundation, joining

821
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 1: us to tell us about the new ERACAP foundation upcoming

822
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: second annual International Women's Day event taking place March fifth.

823
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: So it's coming up fast here Statler Hotel, downtown Buffalo.

824
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: I guess the first question I want to ask you, Bridget,

825
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: is for those that are not familiar with the event,

826
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: because it is still relatively new, what is kind of

827
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: the aim of this event that you guys stage here

828
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: now for the second straight year.

829
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 5: Sure, So, the new Aracat Foundation has five primary pillars

830
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 5: of support, one of which is women empowerment. And the

831
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 5: whole pillar around women empowerment is about getting women to

832
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 5: reach their full potential, so giving them the resources in

833
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 5: the space that they need to do that. And when

834
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 5: we were thinking about that pillar, we said, we really

835
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 5: need to create an event that gives women that space

836
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 5: and allows them to showcase all of their different leadership skills.

837
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 5: So last year we started with our International Women's Day celebration.

838
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 5: It was such a huge success. We had an incredible

839
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 5: feedback that we knew we had to make it an

840
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 5: annual event.

841
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 3: So this one comes up and it's the years. The

842
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 3: global theme this year is give to gain. You've got

843
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 3: a keynote speaker that we were talking about in the break,

844
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 3: give us an idea. Who How did you get hooked

845
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 3: up with your speaker?

846
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So this year our keynote speaker is the one

847
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 5: and only Gena Davis. So she has a ton of

848
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 5: different accolades, but she's an Academy Award winning actress, world

849
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 5: class athlete, author, humanitarian. She does it all. So when

850
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 5: we think of a woman that has overcome obstacles and

851
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 5: has paved the way for other women to reach that

852
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 5: same level of success, there's no one else I can

853
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 5: think of that would be better than Geena Davis.

854
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a good get good for you.

855
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: There's also going to be a panel though, right, and

856
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: this is more more on the local level to kind

857
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: of really connect. I would just assume with people who

858
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: are coming to this which are largely going to be

859
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: local Western new Yorker.

860
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

861
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 5: Absolutely, so we're very excited for Gina, but we're also

862
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 5: equally excited for our panel. It's for local women who

863
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 5: are change makers in Western New York. They are leaders

864
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 5: in Western New York, and we're really excited to have

865
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 5: their insights and to hopefully inspire other women to follow

866
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 5: similar career paths and reach that same level of success.

867
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: Are they going to be so after they have their

868
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: little panel discussion, do you guys open it up for

869
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: questions people can get?

870
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

871
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. We had a great discussion last year, and

872
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 5: I think it inspired the panelists and the keynote just

873
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 5: as much as it inspired the audience. By being able

874
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 5: to have that level of interaction, we've.

875
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 3: Opened up the lobby. Here's question. Yeah, we probably won't

876
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: give as much feedback as this is. Really this is

877
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 3: is that the statler give us an idea?

878
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 2: How big?

879
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: I mean, how many people do you expect to show up?

880
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 3: What give us an idea? A little right sore?

881
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 5: Sure, we're hoping for close to three hundred people. It's

882
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 5: open to everybody the public of any gender, So I

883
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 5: encourage anybody, whether you're a female, male, whatever to show up.

884
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 5: There's something for everybody, and we'll have some mingling in

885
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 5: the beginning, and then we'll go into our panel and

886
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 5: our keynote. There's a little VIP experience at the end

887
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 5: that allows you to have a photo op with Gina.

888
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 5: Open bar, appetizers. It's a really great event, and and it's.

889
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: During the week.

890
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: March fifth is a Thursday, but it's an evening event, right,

891
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: it starts at.

892
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: Five I want to say, yea at five o'clock.

893
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I mean, was that another thing that you

894
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure to be fully accessible during the week,

895
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: Let's do it after work hours?

896
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

897
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

898
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 5: A lot of the people that are attending, they have

899
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 5: you know, full time jobs during the day, they have

900
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 5: families to take care of, whatever their situation is. We

901
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 5: found that an evening event was the most successible for everybody.

902
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

903
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: And this is first of many. I mean, we were

904
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 3: just talking that the foundation has a ton of stuff.

905
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 3: I was part of the first golf tournament. You guys,

906
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 3: ever I told you twenty four years ago. Yeah, yeah,

907
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: I've been around a minute still still, you know, what

908
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 3: is the driving force, what are the you know, the

909
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 3: goals of the of the foundation just this event.

910
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

911
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 5: So our foundation was formally established in twenty sixteen, though

912
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 5: of course Newra has been giving long before that. But

913
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 5: our current CEO, Chris Cook started the foundation. It was

914
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 5: important for him to give back. He created these five

915
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 5: pillars of support that I mentioned earlier, and really all

916
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 5: of our events year around either focus on one of

917
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 5: those pillars or fundraise for us to be able to

918
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 5: support other community organizations that are they're supporting those pillars.

919
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 5: So yeah, we love to be involved in the community.

920
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: So finally, if people are interested in attending the event,

921
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: where can they go to get more information online?

922
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 5: I would encourage you to look at our foundation's instagram

923
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 5: it's new Rakkap Foundation, or you can go to an

924
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 5: ECF International Women's Day twenty twenty six dot event bright

925
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 5: dot com. So the instagram might be easier to probably,

926
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 5: but that's where all of our tickets are. They are

927
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 5: selling really quickly, so I do encourage everybody to try

928
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 5: and get them all they can. And it's gonna be

929
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 5: another great year.

930
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Also, we should luck and we know it's

931
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 3: going to be a huge success.

932
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: And good luck with that.

933
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,000

947
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for making us a part of your afternoon. Gonna

948
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: be joined shortly here by NFL writer for Sports Illustrated

949
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: Gilberto Manzano. Had some interesting write ups on SI dot com.

950
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: They kind of caught our eye, so we wanted to

951
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: discuss those with him, and we've got him on now.

952
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: So Gilberto, thanks for the time. We appreciate it.

953
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: Wanted to start right off the rip here with some

954
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: of the lessons that you felt we learned from the

955
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five NFL season, and obviously defense and if

956
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: you had a strong one, you were going to go

957
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: a long way this season, which I guess for some Uh,

958
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: with the changes that the Bills made at the head

959
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: coaching position, it's no surprise that their defensive scheme is changing,

960
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: and the anticipation is it's going to get more aggressive

961
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: at least in terms of getting after the quarterback, and

962
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: they'll be changing systems as well. What can you tell

963
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: us just about what you uncovered with respect to the

964
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 1: success defense brought teams in the twenty twenty five season.

965
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, christ and Steve.

966
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 6: First of all, this might be my first time looking

967
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 6: at myself since the Super Bowl because it was such

968
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 6: a wild week and I feel like I got read

969
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 6: out there. So first lesson, take sunscreen when you're out

970
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 6: there for an outdoor stagium. Yeah, sunscreen, so hey, but

971
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 6: it's okay, I got a little more color in here.

972
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 6: But uh, yeah, for the first you know, lesson of

973
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 6: that story, it definitely was a year for elite defenses

974
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 6: and you know, you could you know, you know, break

975
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 6: it down from the Bills perspective, and you know, and

976
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 6: some of the teams that they didn't make it that far,

977
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 6: it was you know, you got to have a well

978
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 6: rounded team.

979
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 4: You don't need to have star receivers. And you know,

980
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 4: I know that's a big deal with the Bills.

981
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 6: You gotta can you get a star receiver, But if

982
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 6: you look at the Patriots Stefan Dick, sure, star receiver,

983
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 6: but you know the back end of his career, you know,

984
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 6: one year deal essentially JSN.

985
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, star receiver, but on a rookie deal.

986
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

987
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 4: Pretty much.

988
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 6: What I'm trying to say is you got to have

989
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 6: a well rounded roster first of all, and then yeah,

990
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 6: you want to splurge on defense. That's not a bad

991
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 6: way to go either Chris and Steve, because look at

992
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 6: the front for all, for both of the seams of

993
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl, you had, you know, Chris Barrymore and

994
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 6: Milton williams uh Kyris Tonga. With the Patriots, you have

995
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 6: on the Seattle side, you you have obviously Leonard William

996
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 6: Byron Murphy the second is going to be a star

997
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 6: and he's a he was a first round pick in

998
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, so obviously, you know, be smart with

999
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 6: the salary cap, but you want to invest in in

1000
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 6: in the in the draft on the defensive side, that

1001
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 6: could be the way to go.

1002
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 4: Devin Witherardspoon number five pick.

1003
00:49:59,000 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 3: Not that long.

1004
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 6: People for get well Anderson Junior from the Houston Texan

1005
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 6: number three pick, and Houston gave up a first round

1006
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 6: pick to get well Allison Junior. So to me, I

1007
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 6: could keep, you know, spending time on and on on

1008
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 6: about the defenses. But this was a year for the

1009
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 6: first time in ten years or yeah, I want to

1010
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 6: say ten years since the no Fly zone and Denver

1011
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 6: where the defense really reigns supreme in the NFL.

1012
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 3: And it was also a quarterback a year of reclamation

1013
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 3: projects at quarterback. You know, Sam Darnold after five teams,

1014
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 3: finally lands with the Seahawks one year in and he

1015
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,720
Speaker 3: goes all that goes the distance. You also, there's ample

1016
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 3: evidence of teams being able to build around a guy

1017
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 3: who's not killing him with the salary cap. But you'll

1018
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 3: be hard pressed to find anybody who wants to give

1019
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 3: away Joe Burrow or Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen. Mean,

1020
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 3: you're not getting rid of those guys. How do you

1021
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 3: manage a well rounded roster with a with an elite quarterback.

1022
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that was definitely one of my lessons

1023
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 6: that you know, what you could win with the quarterback

1024
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 6: who's not elite quarterback. You know, maybe top ten, maybe,

1025
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 6: you know, top sixteen on an average day. And obviously

1026
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 6: Sam Darnold did approve a lot of naysayers wrong. But

1027
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 6: you know, there were some rough times with Sam Darnold,

1028
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 6: and I don't want to take anything away for what

1029
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 6: he did this year.

1030
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 4: He was fantastic in the playoffs, no turnovers.

1031
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 6: But you know, he's not Joe Burrow, he's not Josh Allen,

1032
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 6: he's not Patrick Mahomes. And you know, the thing about

1033
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 6: the Seattle thing was they took a chance. They paid him,

1034
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 6: you know, essentially a one year deal if you look

1035
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 6: at the contract, where you could get out of it

1036
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 6: without any guaranteed money after this season. He's going to

1037
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 6: get a big payday for winning the Super Bowl. But

1038
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 6: you know, and the thing too, that's funny, Steve is

1039
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to say you shouldn't have a Josh Allen,

1040
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 6: you shouldn't have a Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes.

1041
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 4: Those guys help you get there.

1042
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 6: And the fun thing about the NFL is like it's

1043
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 6: always evolving and things are always changing. And but the

1044
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 6: thing I also don't like about the NFL, it's a

1045
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 6: copycat league. So you see somebody do something, well, it

1046
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 6: was like, well, let's do that. Let's try find their

1047
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 6: next Sam Donald. And it's like the NFL rewards creativity,

1048
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 6: the NFL rewards the bold. So if you're ahead of

1049
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 6: the curve, you could guess what's gonna be the trend.

1050
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 6: And I think after ten years of everything being about

1051
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 6: the offense, we were due for defense. And I think

1052
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 6: Seattle did a great job of building that that well

1053
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 6: round the roster. But it's difficult because now Seattle has

1054
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 6: Champagne problems. You gotta pay Sam Donald, you gotta give

1055
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 6: him the pay bump for winning the Super Bowl. You

1056
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 6: gotta pay Devin Witherspoon, you got to pay Jackson Smith

1057
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 6: and Jigba. So eventually they're gonna have the same problem.

1058
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 6: The issue with Buffalo. You know, they paid Josh Allen

1059
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 6: because he's fantastic, he's amazing, number one player on my

1060
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 6: top one hundred. We'll talk about that eventually, but they didn't,

1061
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 6: you know, cash in. They didn't you know, strike and

1062
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 6: get that Super Bowl, and now how do you build

1063
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 6: the roster. So that's where the creativity comes in. And

1064
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 6: you know, to Buffalo's credit, they they also you know,

1065
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 6: parted with the expensive wide receivers Deefon Diggs, and we

1066
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 6: saw that with the Chiefs where they had to part

1067
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 6: with Tyreek Hill. So it's always evolving, it's always being creative.

1068
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 6: But yes, when you have an elite quarterback, you're usually

1069
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 6: going to be You're gonna be in front of the line.

1070
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 6: But this year just happened to Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow,

1071
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 6: Mahomes were not in the playoff race.

1072
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,399
Speaker 4: Hey, but the Bills were there.

1073
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 6: And you know, when you get to the division a round,

1074
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 6: that's what you want to ask for, right to be

1075
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 6: in the dance and have a chance. But yeah, this

1076
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 6: was a year where unfortunately where you know, you had

1077
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 6: to have a well round the roster, well round the defense.

1078
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 6: And you know, Buffalo still has ways to go to

1079
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 6: find some elite talent. Defensively, they have some great players,

1080
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 6: but you know, you don't have the stars of the stars.

1081
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 6: And I think that's where it maybe goes back to

1082
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 6: it and maybe on Rambling here, Steve, just draft, hit

1083
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 6: on the draft and get guys on cheaper contracts and

1084
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 6: make them into stars, develop them right away where within

1085
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 6: three years, you know this guy's at bono fide star.

1086
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 6: Look at Devin what has been probably the best cornerback

1087
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 6: now and you know, we're just, you know, saying something

1088
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 6: when you have Christian Gonzales and Patricks Ratan and Derek Stanley.

1089
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 4: But he proved it in the Super Bowl.

1090
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's all well and good. But I think

1091
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: with where the Bills want to go, which you know

1092
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: was part of the and they made the change that

1093
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: they did at head coach, is to get over the

1094
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: hump right now. And I'm not saying don't hit on

1095
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 1: draft picks. Obviously you do that it helps your football team.

1096
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that they want to wait on anybody

1097
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: two or three years to develop into a superstar. They

1098
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: need to get some top flight talent in here now.

1099
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: And I know that the trade market really blew up

1100
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: for a lot of people that took big swings in

1101
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: the league this past year. Whether it's DK Metcalf and

1102
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh not really giving them everything that they had hoped for,

1103
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: or whether the end season trades. Micah Parsons goes down

1104
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: with the season ending knee injury. Sauce Gardner in Indianapolis.

1105
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: Now the Colts don't draft in the first round for

1106
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: the next two years. Even though they have Sauce Gardner,

1107
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: he gets injured and their season goes up and smoke

1108
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: after the Daniel Jones injury, I still don't think that

1109
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: should make the Bills or any other team gun shy

1110
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: because Steve and I have talked about this, Gilberto. You

1111
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: got ten teams with new coaches, half of them are

1112
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: employing new schemes. There are a lot of players that

1113
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: just don't fit the schemes they're changing to. I think

1114
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: we could be looking at a potentially robust trade market

1115
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: this offseason as teams look to find player fits for

1116
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: their roster on other teams rosters, and you'll probably be

1117
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: moving out guys that don't fit that are under contract.

1118
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 2: What do you think about that?

1119
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, Chris, I'm glad that I'm on this show talking

1120
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 6: about the Bills because they are in kind of a strange,

1121
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 6: weird place because you know, if you go and get aggressive,

1122
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 6: to go all in, and and obviously you want to

1123
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 6: you want to maximize as window with Josh Allen. But

1124
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,720
Speaker 6: you know, you listed all the guys or the players

1125
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,280
Speaker 6: that got traded last season, and you know those teams

1126
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 6: got burned.

1127
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 4: Where where are the Packers? You know, where are the Steelers?

1128
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 6: And obviously it's not the Packer's fault that Michael Parsons

1129
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 6: got injured, but you know, you don't you roll the

1130
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 6: dice and you're probably gonna get the same result that

1131
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 6: Buffalo has had. And you know, and again I already

1132
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 6: gave them credit for Buffalo for moving on from Stefan

1133
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 6: Diggs because sometimes you know less, it's more and you

1134
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 6: got to be thinking about the salary caps.

1135
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 4: So they are in a strange place.

1136
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 6: And you know, maybe I'll go back to my example

1137
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 6: where where Houston maybe where you get aggressive is in

1138
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 6: the draft.

1139
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 4: Guys that you know you're getting the draft pick.

1140
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 6: You're betting on a guy to hopefully be an impactful player,

1141
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 6: and it's going to cost you a lot to get.

1142
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 6: You know, say you're in the whatever in the twenties

1143
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 6: of the draft and you want to get a top

1144
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 6: ten player, and we know, we know the numbers, we

1145
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 6: know the stats, and you know, most of the time

1146
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 6: the guys would go top ten, tend to deliver right away,

1147
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 6: and you bet on a guy like a Kean Koman

1148
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 6: in the second round, it could be you know, you know,

1149
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 6: fifty to fifty, you just don't know.

1150
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 4: And Buffalo can't wait on fifty to fifty anymore. They

1151
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 4: need sure things.

1152
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 6: And if you don't want to go to the veteran around,

1153
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 6: if your salary cap is hurting, why not why not

1154
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 6: get a first round pick, a nextra first round pick

1155
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty six. Yes, it hurts your future, but

1156
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 6: what are we talking about waiting for the future when

1157
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 6: you got to strike now here? You know, I do

1158
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 6: have my concerns with the Joe Brady higher because he's

1159
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 6: going to be a first time head coach. But he's

1160
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 6: been there, he's been around for the battles, he's been

1161
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 6: there to work with the offense. So it should be

1162
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 6: clicking right away for the most part. So to me,

1163
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 6: me find a creative way. And maybe it's not that

1164
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 6: creative to go and lant the top five picks. That's

1165
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 6: up to the GM to figure that out. But to me,

1166
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 6: you got to have some some blind where you got

1167
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 6: to be aggressive, but you also got to go maybe

1168
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 6: the smarter approach. We Hey, if you get aggressive for

1169
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 6: a young player on a rookie deal and maybe you

1170
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 6: don't get that Super Bowl this year, well guess what

1171
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 6: that player is, twenty one, twenty four. They're gonna be

1172
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 6: around for the next ten years to maybe help you

1173
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 6: build a second super Bowl window. So to me, when

1174
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 6: you bet on veterans who are in the background of

1175
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 6: the prime, you have two to three years to strike now,

1176
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 6: So why not get aggressive with the rookie players like

1177
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 6: a Will Anderson junior where Houston got killed, were getting

1178
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 6: rid of a first round pick to Arizona. And I

1179
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 6: know they haven't won the whole thing, but they've been

1180
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 6: in the dance every single year and he's probably a

1181
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 6: top five eduarer. So things like that are perfect example.

1182
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 6: Even Seattle, you got rid of Russell Wilson and within

1183
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 6: the next three years you win the Super Bowl. So

1184
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 6: to me, getting younger is never a wrong way in

1185
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 6: the NFL.

1186
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's interesting too because, as you mentioned, some

1187
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 3: of the trades that happened, Packers trade for Michael Parsons,

1188
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh trades for DK Metcalf, Indianapolis trades for Sauce Gardener.

1189
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 3: None of those picks ended up being difference makers for

1190
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 3: any of those clubs. And yet that's the only way

1191
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 3: a team could get a guy who's actually proved. There's

1192
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 3: no question marks about him. Right, If everything is as

1193
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 3: it was in the old place, or maybe even better,

1194
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 3: you've got a player that you can plug in and

1195
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 3: expect all pro or near all pro performance. Do you

1196
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 3: think that the instances that I just dick, you know,

1197
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 3: I just said with Michael Parsons, DK, Metcalf, Sauce Gardner,

1198
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 3: all of those players coming in and none of them

1199
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 3: have in the kind of year, do you think that

1200
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 3: has a chilling effect or do you think gms will

1201
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 3: see it more as well? Those are just it's a

1202
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 3: one off year where all of those guys or these

1203
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 3: players didn't pan out for their team. Do you see

1204
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 3: is it a characteristic or is it just an individual

1205
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 3: year that is an anomaly.

1206
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, And it goes back to me saying where it's

1207
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 6: sort of a copycat Lord is a copycat league. I'm

1208
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 6: not going to deny that where you know what happened

1209
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 6: the year before, it's like, okay, maybe we should step

1210
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 6: back and assess here why that went wrong for that team.

1211
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 6: So I think, you know, Steve the first part there,

1212
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 6: it is going to be a chill in effect where

1213
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 6: maybe you don't be as aggressive, maybe you do follow

1214
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 6: even I'm talking about Seattle a lot.

1215
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 4: Look at New England's a blueprint.

1216
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 6: You know, they had the young quarterback, and then they

1217
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 6: spend a bunch of money in free agency where you

1218
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 6: got Milton Williams first, your first prize right there, and

1219
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 6: then a bunch just smaller moves. I just didn't really

1220
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 6: hurt your salary cap. And I get, you know, Buffalo,

1221
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 6: New England or a different salary cap situations, and the

1222
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 6: rookie quarterback on a rookie deal really makes a difference.

1223
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 6: But I could go on and on with teams that

1224
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 6: just turn it around very quickly. And I keep going

1225
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,479
Speaker 6: back to when you're just to focus on what you're doing,

1226
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 6: ignore the noise, and we ignore the criticism or the praise,

1227
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 6: and you kind of focus on what's going to work

1228
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 6: for you and you're ahead of the game. Where when

1229
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 6: you come out for the twenty twenty six season and

1230
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 6: everything a surprise that tends to be in your favor

1231
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 6: when you are not predictable, when you have a different personnel,

1232
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 6: when you have a different look. When you have a

1233
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 6: star player who wasn't supposed to be a star player,

1234
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 6: you have tons of advantages. So to me, uh, you know,

1235
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 6: I think there could be a fact where maybe you

1236
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 6: are you know, you know, you know more looking to

1237
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 6: the draft.

1238
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 4: But I can even give you a bad example for

1239
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 4: that one.

1240
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 6: Atlanta rolled the guys in James Pears junior and that's

1241
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 6: been a mess situation there and they lost the first

1242
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 6: round pick, you know, a good player.

1243
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 4: But we'll see how that plays out there with with

1244
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 4: the legal issues.

1245
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 6: But you know, focus on People always ask me questions

1246
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 6: that you know, should should you know, you know, for

1247
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 6: the Raiders example, should the Raiders go at the random Mendoza?

1248
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 6: It doesn't seem like he's this generational talent. And I

1249
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 6: always say to people, well, trust your scouting department, trust

1250
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 6: what you see. Who cares that people? If the draft

1251
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 6: experts were saying he's not a generational talent, he's not

1252
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 6: Caleb Williams. So maybe trade down if you feel like

1253
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,439
Speaker 6: this that can help you right now and it fits

1254
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 6: your scheme if like in going back to a Chris said,

1255
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 6: it fits what Joe Brady wants to build in Buffalo,

1256
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 6: go ahead and do it and ignore the noise. So

1257
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 6: to me, I always go back to that, and that's

1258
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 6: why I'm kind of, you know, I'm having fun talking

1259
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 6: here because Seattle in New England just proved to us

1260
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 6: two different blueprints are not the common way to do it,

1261
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 6: and they got there when no one expected Sam darn

1262
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 6: and Drake Me to be in the Super Bowl. So

1263
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 6: to me, maybe maybe I'm always kind of a skeptic here.

1264
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 6: Maybe finally the NFL is doing things different and we

1265
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 6: don't have to just go after the stars and make

1266
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 6: things so predictable, all right.

1267
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: So you also kind of put together the projection for

1268
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: the top one hundred players in twenty twenty six, and

1269
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is at the top of the list, which

1270
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: probably isn't terribly surprising to anybody who's watched the games

1271
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. And I think you and your voters

1272
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 1: kind of rightly pointed out you can't knock his lack

1273
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl titles when you're just assessing who are

1274
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: the most talented players in the game, And you used

1275
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett as an example of that. People think he's

1276
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: a top three player in the league, and he hasn't won. Heck,

1277
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he's been to the playoffs

1278
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: maybe once.

1279
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 2: So what what was the general.

1280
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Feedback you got from the people that participated in this

1281
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: voting with respect to Josh being in the number one spot.

1282
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, first of all, Christy and Stevie. Here my son,

1283
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 6: you know, shouting in the background. He just wants to

1284
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 6: chime in on the show. Here, you guys do a

1285
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,959
Speaker 6: great job. But yes, you know, you know, the top

1286
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 6: one hundred here was an interesting, uh list. And you know,

1287
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 6: I knew off the bat that, like if I do

1288
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 6: a future one hundred list, people weren't going to read

1289
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 6: the introduction where I explain, Hey, you know, the NFL

1290
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 6: is always different. The NFL changes constantly. There were there

1291
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 6: were seven out of eight new division winners. Heck, the

1292
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 6: Patriots were in the super Bowl. I want to try

1293
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 6: to predict the next one hundred, uh because if we

1294
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 6: just go up what we see in twenty twenty five,

1295
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 6: we're gonna we're gonna think the same teams are gonna

1296
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 6: make the Super Bowl every single year. Uh So, So

1297
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 6: to me, I decided to kind of look ahead and

1298
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 6: and focus, you know on coaching personnels. How does the

1299
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 6: future look And so I just wanted to kind of

1300
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 6: just you know, bring that up real quick and with

1301
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 6: the Josh Allen perspective and speaking of many people not

1302
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 6: reading everything, Chris, I remember on social media somebody cut

1303
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 6: out the part where I said, to recognize Josh Allen's

1304
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 6: talent and his greatness, you you have to put aside

1305
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 6: the playoff failures. And people ran with that and say,

1306
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 6: what is this guy talking about? But in the next sentence,

1307
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 6: I wrote, Well, if we're gonna say mal Miles Garrett

1308
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 6: is a top five player, we you know, are we

1309
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 6: going to criticize them for his like a playoff experience.

1310
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 6: So I'm glad you brought that up, Chris. But honestly,

1311
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 6: when you go player base and I like to talk

1312
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 6: about boxing, when to go with player base, it's pound

1313
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 6: for pound great and you know, pound for pound we

1314
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 6: talk about it because you can't just you can't focus

1315
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 6: on weight classes, you can't focus on titles, because everybody's

1316
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 6: a different uh and they're in different groups. And I

1317
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 6: think that's why the way I looked at it for

1318
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 6: players was you know, yes, you know, josh a has

1319
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 6: not gone to the Super Bowl. He's not one of

1320
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 6: super so he's not won the Super Bowl. But when

1321
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 6: you do the eye test, and I think that's the

1322
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 6: pound for pound. Uh, the pound for pound thing that

1323
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 6: I care about in boxing is the eye tests. Who

1324
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 6: are the real stars. Who are the rest of the

1325
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 6: best players. Nobody could do what Josh Allen can do.

1326
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 6: Nobody you know can And I'll put this even with

1327
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 6: the passing in the pocket when Josh Allen is in

1328
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 6: his element and I read this great story from my

1329
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 6: co my my colleague Albert Breer, where you know, Josh

1330
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 6: Allen likes to call it that the Bruce Lee zone

1331
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 6: where you know, everything's a little quiet and calm down.

1332
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 6: Nobody does what Josh Allen does when he's in the

1333
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 6: Bruce Lee zone where he's picking up part the defenses

1334
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 6: work in the pocket, moving away from the pocket to

1335
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 6: make make plays and extend plays. And then you combine

1336
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 6: the mobility the size and it goes back to pound

1337
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 6: for pound, like nobody could stop this guy even on

1338
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 6: a touch push that went eleven yards for a touchdown

1339
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 6: in the playoffs against the Jaguars. So to me, uh,

1340
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,959
Speaker 6: he is the best player on the planet. I don't

1341
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 6: care about the team setting I don't care about the

1342
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 6: playoff failures. I know how to watch football, and I

1343
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 6: think when I watch the quarterback position, it's not that

1344
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 6: hard to assess when he's in his element, when he's

1345
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 6: in his own when which is usually you know, pretty often,

1346
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 6: you know, it doesn't get better than that.

1347
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 4: And and I get it.

1348
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 6: Mahomes is also amazing when it comes to just skill set,

1349
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 6: and he does have the accolades. But the last two years,

1350
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 6: let's be real, and I'm thinking about you know, I know,

1351
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 6: I'm thinking about the future, But the last two years,

1352
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 6: the Chiefs offense have you know, declined. There's a reason

1353
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 6: why they didn't make the playoffs. This year, Mahomes played

1354
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 6: most of the season and I always get pushback with that.

1355
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 3: I get it.

1356
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 4: The Super Bowls are awesome.

1357
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 6: I've been crowning Mahomes the best player in the NFL

1358
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 6: for the last five or six years. But the last

1359
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 6: two years it's been defensive base. They don't have a

1360
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 6: running game. They can't really fix the depth on the

1361
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 6: wide receiver positions. To me, when I'm seeing josh Anon

1362
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 6: winn An MVP, when I'm seeing the Bills average thirty

1363
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 6: points per game in the last two years. You know,

1364
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 6: that's that's a Josh Allen effect there, So I could

1365
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 6: go back and forth from the past to the future

1366
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 6: to just flat out you know, Paufer Pound great to

1367
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 6: me is Josh Allen.

1368
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. And one of the other things that Buffalo Bills

1369
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 3: fans might be interested in is the fact that at

1370
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 3: number thirty of the top one hundred players, you've got

1371
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 3: James Cook, who, at this time last year is a

1372
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 3: huge question mark as to whether the Bills were going

1373
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 3: to pay him a contract, give him the money, and

1374
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 3: whether he wouldn't And then of course now twelve months later,

1375
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 3: you know, the guy's the rushing champ of the NFL

1376
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 3: and he's maybe one of the only people in the

1377
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 3: league who could make people feel good about not putting

1378
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 3: the ball in Josh Allen's hands every single snap. So

1379
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 3: James Cook at number thirty, what are your thoughts about

1380
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 3: this running back group where James James Cook fits in

1381
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 3: with guys like Saquon Barkley and McCaffrey, the and the like.

1382
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Steve, a year ago, it was probably, you know,

1383
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 6: very difficult for the Bills to assess whether or or well,

1384
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 6: obviously they pay the guy they want to pay James Cook.

1385
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 6: He's been productive since he's entered the league, Well, how

1386
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 6: much to pay him? And where does he rank in

1387
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 6: the running back market when he's not viewed as Derrick

1388
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 6: Hennery or say Coon Barklay or Christian McCaffrey.

1389
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 4: And you know, they had to take a chance.

1390
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 6: And then who knows me both sides how to kind

1391
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 6: of come come to some kind of agreement where yeah,

1392
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 6: you're not going to be the new market senter. You've

1393
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 6: been productive, but you know you're not those guys. And

1394
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 6: these are different conversations that you have with your agents

1395
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 6: and your representatives and you know, business business. But the

1396
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 6: Bills said, all right, let's do it, and and they

1397
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 6: locked them up and James Cook signed up and it

1398
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 6: has worked out.

1399
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 4: He is now viewed like those guys.

1400
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 6: When you have a rushing title in the NFL, you

1401
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 6: could be, you know, regarded as one of the best

1402
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 6: running backs in the NFL. And and put it this way,

1403
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 6: there was a while where I thought Jonathan Taylor was

1404
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 6: going to run away with the award and James Cook

1405
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 6: just kept being productive, kept being consistent. He's electric with

1406
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 6: the football. There were some games where, yeah, Josh Allen

1407
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 6: you know wasn't on or there were some games. But

1408
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 6: you know what, you got to tell Josh Allam to

1409
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 6: chill out because you got you got eighteen weeks and

1410
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 6: you got a whole playoffs. So give James Cook the

1411
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 6: ball and like you mentioned, Steve, it's not a bad idea.

1412
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 6: So he's been very productive and to see how much

1413
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 6: he's improved in the past year, where you know, he

1414
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 6: he went from who knows in the top fifteen running

1415
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 6: back to a top five running back. That was a

1416
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 6: good bet on the bills they bet on and then

1417
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 6: the contracts are also very tricky because you also reward

1418
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 6: the past and in the NFL you don't last as long,

1419
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 6: especially at the running back position, so they also bet

1420
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 6: it on his upside and it really paid off this

1421
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 6: year and what Joe Brady had did with the offense

1422
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 6: to give him the football to take some pressure off

1423
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 6: Josh Allen has really paid off here. So I'm excited

1424
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,799
Speaker 6: to see what to do, you know, with his partnership

1425
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 6: moving forward with Joe Brady as head coach.

1426
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 2: Gil Bertto, thanks very much for the time.

1427
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: We appreciate you giving us some of yours and we'll

1428
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: catch up with you down the line here in the offseason.

1429
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 4: Thanks very much, Thank you Chris and Steve. This is

1430
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 4: fun talking to you guys. I appreciate it.

1431
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 3: Thanks Colberte.

1432
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: That's NFL writer Goolbert Urmenzano for SI dot com and

1433
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: check out his work there. As Josh Allen as the

1434
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: number one projected player in twenty twenty six, James Cook

1435
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: might have been even more impressive. He wasn't even on

1436
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: the list last year, comes in at number thirty after

1437
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: a rushing title the very next year.

1438
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:26,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a guy who it's it's all about

1439
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 3: the opportunity. James Cook cut right, and we oh yeah,

1440
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:30,600
Speaker 3: he was up for a contract. Nobody knew and I

1441
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 3: was over at this time last year. I was like, on,

1442
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't think i'd pay him, right, Yeah, remember, yeah,

1443
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,600
Speaker 3: I had to convince you, right, And so over the

1444
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,640
Speaker 3: course of the offseason, then I started going and then

1445
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 3: I went back and watched games this is two years ago,

1446
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 3: the games from two years ago, forget the you know

1447
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 3: season he had this year. I was like, eh, yeah, maybe, yeah,

1448
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 3: you know what, let's let's try and sign him, you know.

1449
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 3: And then it's like, yeah, yeah, you know what give

1450
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 3: him what he wants. I'm and you know, they gave

1451
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 3: him the contra and I did. I came, and you know,

1452
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 3: the guy goes out and leads the NFL and rushing

1453
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, it was a phenomenal year. Now

1454
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 3: he's you know, top thirty player in the National Football

1455
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 3: League or looking for him to be certainly, I don't.

1456
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 3: I do not expect him to be able to lead

1457
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 3: the league in rushing again this year, given the change

1458
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 3: over the coaching staff and the offensive line and yeah, yeah,

1459
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 3: all that and plus notoriously, it's very difficult to do.

1460
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: So just to ask because I remember we had him

1461
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 1: here during the season and he goes it is hard

1462
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: to win a rushing title in the NFL, and he

1463
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: never did it.

1464
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 3: Right, He led the league in from you totally totally

1465
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,599
Speaker 3: yards from scrimmage. He did that four years in a row.

1466
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 3: In fact, he broke Jim Brown's record for.

1467
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 2: That yep, but never had a rushing It's hard and

1468
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 2: so and to have.

1469
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 3: Him come in and be that kind of player and

1470
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 3: have teams game plan for him in that respect, it's

1471
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 3: going to be a hard year for him. That doesn't

1472
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 3: mean he's not going to be productive, and they're not

1473
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 3: going to give him opportunities.

1474
01:10:57,800 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 2: It's just hitting that number again.

1475
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 3: But hit that number again. It's going to be really hard.

1476
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

1497
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: as you know, and we answer any and all of

1498
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: your questions about the Bills, the NFL, free agency, the combine,

1499
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: the draft, whatever's on your mind. So Scott asks, when

1500
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 1: looking at drafting defensive players, are the scouts and gms

1501
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 1: looking at guys that specifically play in a similar scheme

1502
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 1: to what they are running or do they look at

1503
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 1: talent from every scheme and think we can teach this

1504
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: guy how to play in our scheme. The number one

1505
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: thing that the Bills personnel department does when trying to

1506
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 1: find a fit for Buffalo is they ask that very question,

1507
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: is this player a fit for the Bills? Scheme wise,

1508
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 1: disposition wise, character wise, self motivation wise. It's not can

1509
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: this guy play in the league? Is he talented enough

1510
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: to do that? It's is he a fit for the Bills?

1511
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: And they run through all of those criteria to make

1512
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: that determination. Now, that doesn't mean if there's a guy

1513
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: in college that played in a three to four and

1514
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 1: for the last nine years the Bills played in a

1515
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,640
Speaker 1: four to three, I mean they drafted Terrel Bernard in

1516
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the third round. That guy played in a three to

1517
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 1: four at Baylor, but they felt he could fit and

1518
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: play in a four to three system here and had

1519
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,560
Speaker 1: all of the other prerequisites that they felt.

1520
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 2: He needed, and he played well. He played well.

1521
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 1: This switch might actually be good for him because he

1522
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 1: was very productive at Baylor in a three to four

1523
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: system as a week inside lineback.

1524
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they that's why you get to the combine. And

1525
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 3: we say this every year and we'll say it again

1526
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks. We're going to be down there.

1527
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 3: Most of what they go down there to look at

1528
01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 3: is get the the medical team to put their hands

1529
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 3: on the guy and say, okay' he healthy. Yes, he

1530
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 3: had this injury, that injury, the other injury. Check all

1531
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 3: three of those. What's he like? Is he okay with that?

1532
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,719
Speaker 3: Because and you've heard and on all the social media

1533
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 3: they get, they put all the stuff they talk about.

1534
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:15,640
Speaker 3: They talk about every guy who runs a forty. But

1535
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 3: you know, when it's post draft time, they put in

1536
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 3: the social media outlets what he said about the guy

1537
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 3: that they actually took. And you can tell they don't

1538
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 3: care how they run. They don't care how they run.

1539
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 3: At the combine. They don't care what they lift or

1540
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 3: what their bench was. Mostly that is because it's not

1541
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 3: because they because they know how the guy plays. They

1542
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 3: watch hours of tape on him. They know what he

1543
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,640
Speaker 3: plays like. They've seen him on the football.

1544
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 2: Field, plays faster than he times fast and.

1545
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,599
Speaker 3: He plays this guy he's fast enough. They don't care

1546
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 3: what the numbers say.

1547
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 2: Well they do, you know what I mean.

1548
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: The only time where the numbers come into play and

1549
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: personnel departments caring about it is if they're at the

1550
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: back end of the limit of what is an acceptable

1551
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 1: speed at that position. For example, corner four or five

1552
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 1: five is probably the cutoff there. It might even be

1553
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 1: four or five these days for a wide receiver position.

1554
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 1: If you're sub, if you're over four to six po forty,

1555
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: you're gonna be considered to be in a different category.

1556
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 3: You're gonna get knocked for that.

1557
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,520
Speaker 2: But so there are minimums.

1558
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 3: The point is though they know how they play, and

1559
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 3: they're confident the guy's gonna test out good enough. Now,

1560
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 3: that's why they get to these combine things. It's about

1561
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 3: the medical it's not about the physical testing, because the

1562
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 3: film they watch tells them what kind of player they are.

1563
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 3: Then they go into what you were saying. Yeah, they

1564
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 3: sit down and talk to him, what kind of kid

1565
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 3: is he, what kind of guy is he, what kind

1566
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 3: of leadership skills he have, what kind of motivation does

1567
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 3: he have? What makes him tick? And then all that

1568
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 3: stuff gets added on to it.

1569
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 1: From a pure measurement standpoint, I can promise you that

1570
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: Jim Leonard and his defensive staff are talking to the

1571
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Bills personnel guys that are gonna be scouting these players

1572
01:15:58,160 --> 01:15:59,679
Speaker 1: for the rest of the run up to the draft.

1573
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,839
Speaker 1: A lot of the stuff's already in the barn already,

1574
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: but they will tell them, look at outside linebacker, the

1575
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: guy's got to be at least six to three. He's

1576
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: got to have at least you know, thirty three in charms,

1577
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 1: and he's got to at least be sub four to seven.

1578
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: So there are prerequisites. And then on top of that,

1579
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: there might be a guy that a scout loves on film.

1580
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't meet all those measurement preferences. But there are exceptions.

1581
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney, for example, guys five to eleven two forty

1582
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: five that is not prototype size and length for an

1583
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: outside linebacker in a three to four system, but the

1584
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: courage of the convictions of the personnel people of the

1585
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: colts at the time still made him a first round

1586
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: pick anyway, and he has a Hall of Fame career.

1587
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 2: There are exceptions, yeah, but there aren't many.

1588
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1589
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 3: The exceptions are because the guy outplays his measurables. You know,

1590
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 3: that's the exception, because it's easy enough to underperform your measurables.

1591
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 3: You see guys like that, you know, the guys with

1592
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 3: the finger quotes the potential, right, this guy's got unbelievable potential.

1593
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 3: That's because he measures well. And the simple fact is

1594
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 3: between his ears is vacant and his heart's the size

1595
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 3: of a p right, So then he can't play. He's

1596
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 3: built like Tarzan and plays like plays like a chimp,

1597
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 3: you know. So that's the way it is. You get

1598
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 3: guys from all over the league, from every possible football factory, collegiately,

1599
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:42,560
Speaker 3: whatever program you want to name. There's these guys that

1600
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 3: look like they're man that guys can't miss look at him,

1601
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,560
Speaker 3: and they just can't play. And then you get a

1602
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 3: guy like Dwight Freeney, who he's like nothing could be

1603
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:55,560
Speaker 3: right more wrong, nothing could be more from measurable. He

1604
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 3: looks like, right, I mean, the guy looks like he

1605
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 3: can't play, and yet there is in the Hall of Fame.

1606
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 3: So that's you know, it's an enormous evaluation process and

1607
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 3: there's no magic wand that says you're gonna get it.

1608
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 3: But I'll say it again, there are thirty two teams

1609
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 3: in the NFL. Every single fan base, if not today, yesterday,

1610
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 3: or tomorrow, is gonna say, man, we need to kill

1611
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 3: the draft.

1612
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 4: We've really got it.

1613
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 3: We've really got to hit a home run in the

1614
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 3: draft every single franchise, and over a long period of time,

1615
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:32,759
Speaker 3: they all hit it just about the same amount.

1616
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 1: And the goal, and this might sound shocking, but the

1617
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: goal is to be bat three hundred. Like a three

1618
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,560
Speaker 1: hundred batting average is good in baseball, it's good in

1619
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:45,759
Speaker 1: the draft. And if you're hitting four hundred, you're really

1620
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: killing it.

1621
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,560
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. I read this back in

1622
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 3: the mid twenty fifteen. I think there was an article

1623
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 3: about the Seattle Seahawks and their legion of boom. Had

1624
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:01,799
Speaker 3: they got four starters out of two consecutive not eight total,

1625
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 3: eight total starters out of two consecutive drafts over two years.

1626
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 3: I think went to two straight Super Bowls. That's that's

1627
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 3: all we got to hit.

1628
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 1: And they were a top ten defense for like five

1629
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: years in a row, So you know, that's that's it.

1630
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you're talking about four guys in two separate years,

1631
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 3: and it's your dynasty. That's how Finn the Margins are.

1632
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: Chuck asks, do we have an idea of when the

1633
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: Bison statues will be installed at the new stadium.

1634
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 3: I want to make a good questions, not miss that

1635
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 3: good question, because that is going to be an event.

1636
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 3: I would think. My guess is the spring. It's got

1637
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 3: to be they're going to when the weather break. Yeah,

1638
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 3: they're gonna give them the keys in like six months.

1639
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I don't know, I don't know.

1640
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 3: Nobody don't have a specific but yes, you're right, you

1641
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 3: don't want to miss it. In my opinion, there's going

1642
01:19:54,160 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 3: to be you know, yeah, I'm I'm with you. Nobody

1643
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 3: wants to miss that because that's they're going to be

1644
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 3: pretty pretty cool. Our guy Jonathan Harkey went down and

1645
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 3: shot some footage. Oh yeah, this was the making of

1646
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 3: the They're being made right, and we're not able to

1647
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 3: talk about him.

1648
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Not really no, down in Pennsylvania, right, that's where there's

1649
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 1: footage they're making them.

1650
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 3: There's footage out not out there, of these things getting made.

1651
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: Which will be revealed after the Bisons are actually revealed

1652
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 1: in their proper place in families.

1653
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 3: So boom diggy.

1654
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: You'll have to wait for that, but if we do

1655
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: get a date, we'll be sure to pass it along

1656
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: here on the show.

1657
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 3: Yes, I am all about it as well. Jim Daniels, Sir, Charlie,

1658
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 3: that was Chuck Chuck.

1659
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jim Asks.

1660
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,639
Speaker 1: I've heard it said that Dion Dawkins has unorthodox technique.

1661
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: If that's true and he loses a half step, do

1662
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: you think he will age well as an offensive lineman

1663
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: now that he is.

1664
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 2: Thirty years old.

1665
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: I think of a boxer like Roy Jones junior unorthodox

1666
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 1: and didn't age well once he slowed down. No, I

1667
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's unorthodox to the point where if he

1668
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: loses half a step he can't play anymore. As a

1669
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: matter of fact, I think Dion is uncommonly athletic for

1670
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: a player of his stature. We had him on the

1671
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 1: show a couple of weeks ago and he said, point

1672
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 1: blank it is his intention to play at his lightest

1673
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 1: weight ever as a pro. As a pro, which is

1674
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 1: down around three twenty. I would argue he probably played

1675
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: around three forty the last few years.

1676
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 4: So I think he.

1677
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: Recognizes he's not getting younger and if he can get

1678
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: faster and quicker, all the better. And I don't think

1679
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: his skill set is so unique that he's some you know,

1680
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: exception to how everybody else plays. I think he has

1681
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 1: some techniques that work well for him that he has

1682
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,679
Speaker 1: learned fit his skill set from Aaron Cromer and Austin Gunn,

1683
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: and he utilizes them very effectively. Spenter Brown uses some

1684
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 1: of those same techniques. They're taught by the same guy,

1685
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: so they use them very effectively. And you know the

1686
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: other thing that's bothered me is you hear these people

1687
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: speculating like, hey, maybe it'd be the time to trade

1688
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:57,679
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins.

1689
01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 2: It's like, are you kidding me? No, what are you doing?

1690
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: He got a free agent guard, starting guard, you got

1691
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 1: a free agent center. Now you're gonna throw the left

1692
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: tackle overboard just because he turned thirty. I think Dion's

1693
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 1: got at least two very good years left in and

1694
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 1: probably three.

1695
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 3: So it's not about whether his technique is unorthodox. It's

1696
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:19,600
Speaker 3: whether he can figure it out. If he needs to

1697
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 3: start adjusting his techniques, that's all. He may have to

1698
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 3: start playing left tackle a little bit differently than he

1699
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 3: is currently or then he did four years ago, five

1700
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 3: years ago. But he'll figure it out and he'll continue

1701
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 3: to be productive because if he loses a step or

1702
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call her, if he loses twenty pounds,

1703
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 3: he'll play differently. That's just the way it is, and

1704
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 3: smart football players figure out how to do it. Given

1705
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 3: the skill set they currently have. He will too.

1706
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,560
Speaker 1: Kevin asks what is the mindset of a player like

1707
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox possible cut candidate, possible restructure with a lower

1708
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: pay candidate. How much would the Buffalo environment play into

1709
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: his decision whether it take a Steve pay cut to

1710
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,599
Speaker 1: stay or to look elsewhere. Yeah, I mean he's had

1711
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 1: a fat cap number for a few years now. They've

1712
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: done some restructuring with him. I think he would prefer

1713
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: to stay here because he's got a well established relationship

1714
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. It's one of his best friends on

1715
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 1: the team, and I think the thought as an eight

1716
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 1: year veteran going to another team starting a brand new

1717
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: relationship with a new quarterback and a new coaching staff

1718
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: that you have to convince I am a capable player,

1719
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: I can help your offense. I think it might be

1720
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a heavy lift. Not to say

1721
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: that I know he wouldn't want to do that. I

1722
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: just think there are too many positives for him here

1723
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 1: and I was encouraged by the way he was kind

1724
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: of worked back into the passing game a bit more

1725
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: this season, which was a passing game that leaned heavily

1726
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 1: on the tight ends. This year, the three tight ends

1727
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 1: had more receiving touchdowns than all of the wide receivers combined,

1728
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 1: twelve to eleven, and there's only three tight ends.

1729
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:03,720
Speaker 2: So I think he would prefer to stay, and if

1730
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 2: he has.

1731
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: To make some concessions on the financial side to help

1732
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 1: the team, I would not be surprised, knowing Dawson Knox

1733
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 1: like we do, that he would come to the table

1734
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: and discuss it.

1735
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 3: I think he became there were stretches in this season

1736
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 3: that he became extremely important. Given the health concerns that

1737
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 3: Dalton Kinkaid presents right and availability that he presented. Knox

1738
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,680
Speaker 3: is a guy that is dependable. I think he had

1739
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 3: as as I'll just say it this way, he had

1740
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 3: as important of a season as he's ever had for Buffalo,

1741
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 3: even back in the day when he was you know,

1742
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 3: when he was a starting tight end before they got Kincaid.

1743
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 3: I think Dawson Knox was as instrumental to the success

1744
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 3: of this offense this year's he's ever been. That goes

1745
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 3: a long way. What they're going to do with his

1746
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 3: contract remains to be seen. How they you know that,

1747
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 3: how they choose to handle it. I'm sure given the

1748
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 3: atmosphere in the building, they're going to go to him

1749
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 3: first before they do anything. He'll give them the feedback

1750
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:11,760
Speaker 3: positive or negative based on what they say to him,

1751
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 3: and you know, we'll find out I don't. Yeah, there's

1752
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 3: he can. I mean, he can see it as well

1753
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 3: better than anybody else because he knows what they have

1754
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 3: told him up to this point. They have exit interviews,

1755
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 3: so they know they've had a conversation already about his

1756
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 3: contract and what's happening in the future. Now, that was

1757
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 3: probably before the head coaching change, but in the way

1758
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 3: that they changed head coaches, where you think this guy

1759
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 3: likes him less than a defensive head coach, So yeah, and.

1760
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 2: The tight ends coach has been retained, so there's no

1761
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 2: change there.

1762
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 3: For He'll be there. He'll be consulting. They consulted. He'll

1763
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 3: be notified as to their intentions, and he will obviously

1764
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 3: because he's working for him. He can, he's got a voice.

1765
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 3: He'll he can have his agent call in to say, hey,

1766
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 3: tell him no, yeah, or tell him I'll do anything

1767
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 3: anywhere in between.

1768
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here.

1769
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 1: We'll answer a couple more questions when we get back

1770
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 1: for one final segment of One Bill's Live on location

1771
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 1: at New Era Cap Headquarters, one sixty Delaware Avenue in

1772
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: downtown Buffalo. Back in a flash here on One Bill's Live.

1773
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: All Right, some final questions here from the obl Friday

1774
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 1: fan mail bag and North Saber fan one says, I

1775
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 1: really like Jawan Jennings from San Francisco. I believe he's

1776
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: a free agent. Correct me if I'm wrong. You're right

1777
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,640
Speaker 1: he is, but I feel he would be great in

1778
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: our system. Thoughts and what do you think his price

1779
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: tag would be? Juwan Jennings would be a great fit

1780
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 1: in this system, provided they still want to run the

1781
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 1: ball like they do, because he is an absolute animal

1782
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: blocking in the run game. He's a big guy six'

1783
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 1: three two twelve two. Fifteen problem, IS i think his

1784
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 1: price tag is going to be in the plus twenty

1785
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:07,719
Speaker 1: million dollar, range AND i don't know that The bills

1786
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: want to spend that kind of money on the receiver

1787
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 1: position with all.

1788
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 2: The needs they have on the defensive side of the.

1789
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: BALL i think they might take a mid tier swing

1790
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 1: at a veteran, receiver BUT i think it's more in

1791
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: the fifteen to twenty million dollar, range not twenty to twenty,

1792
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 1: five and not certainly not twenty five to.

1793
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 3: Thirty, Yeah Juwan jennings is going to command a huge price,

1794
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 3: tag and, YEAH i don't know if that's gonna. HAPPEN

1795
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 3: I i don't know how they're gonna do. It They'll

1796
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:37,799
Speaker 3: they'll probably find some, guys.

1797
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:38,760
Speaker 2: BUT i think they got to clear some.

1798
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 3: Space there's no question they cast a wide net last

1799
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 3: year trying to find somebody that would, pop and nobody

1800
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 3: could stay healthy enough long enough to do. It and

1801
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 3: there's no guarantees anybody will this year, Either but that

1802
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 3: was their plan last, year was to bring a ton

1803
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 3: of guys, in and even after the injuries, hit still

1804
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 3: kept bringing guys in and trying to find somebody who

1805
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:02,560
Speaker 3: would do, it and we'll see if they change that this.

1806
