Speaker 1: Brown Steve Tasker with you. Ready to rock and roll

4
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: here as we get ever closer, Steve, we are now

5
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: officially three weeks away from the twenty twenty three NFL Draft.

6
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Draft starts on a Thursday, Thursday evening. It's a Thursday

7
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: evening as it has been for the last several years,

8
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: the primetime thing. It's not an old day thing. It's

9
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: in the evening on Thursday. Then it resumes Friday evening

10
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: and then it is Saturday about eleven to seven. Do

11
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: you think anybody will show up in Kansas City? Yeah?

12
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: I do. They're not distracted by baseball. I mean, the

13
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: Royals are the Royals. Um. People love the Royals out there, well,

14
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: they do. But I would say it's a football first city,

15
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't you. They like college basketball? I would say, well,

16
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: because of yeah, because of the current situation. Yeah, these days,

17
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: it is a football city, but it's a baseball town too.

18
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: Really yeah, okay, I wouldn't guess those are big. Yeah.

19
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: The people from my generation, a little older geriatric about

20
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: the Royals George Brett and all that because the Chiefs

21
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: were mediocre for too many decades. Well that's fair, Okay, Yeah,

22
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: I think they'll I think they'll have a turnout. I mean,

23
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: especially fresh off the Super Bowl. Tight I was being sarcastic,

24
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: but yes, there'll be a huge turnout. Have you seen

25
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: there having it at the train station? That because at

26
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: the Union Sunion station downtown in Kansas City. It's we

27
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: drove past just over the hill from um from what

28
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: do they call that place? Westport. I think we drove

29
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: right past Union Station on the way to the hotel

30
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: last year weeks week five, I think it was when

31
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: the Bills beat him twenty four twenty. We drove right

32
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: past that train station. It's like it's an unmistakable, yeah,

33
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: you know building, Like even if you've you're not from

34
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: Kansas City, if you drive past, you're like, oh, that's

35
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: got to be Union Station, Like it's it stands out.

36
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: It's great architecture. Yeah, So that is where it will

37
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: be three weeks from today. It's coming up fast. Steve

38
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: and I are like grinded on the tape right now.

39
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: We're way behind Greg Cosell, who's spending days and nights,

40
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: grinding through three hundred thirty some odd prospects. So we're

41
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: trying to play a mad case of ketchup, and I

42
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: don't know how much success we're having, but we're getting there,

43
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: slowly but surely. I just finished the defensive tackles yesterday.

44
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: We're chiming into each other saying, when you see what

45
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: about this guy? What about that guy? And we're both

46
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: watching game film and highlights and all of that and

47
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: making snap judgments on the future of these young men

48
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: that we've never met. To some degree, we're asked to

49
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: have an opinion, so I'm gonna make sure I have one,

50
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: and my opinions are based off of a couple of

51
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: minutes of watching them. Hey, whatever it takes, man, whatever

52
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: it takes, at least I'm watching them. I'm It's fun though,

53
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: because I remember no matter how old you get, you

54
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: remember what it was like. And it's really an exciting

55
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: time in the sport forget about you know, this draft

56
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: day in the NFL, for the for the sport of football,

57
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: NFL draft day is big. I would argue, big, big,

58
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: can you tell me what you think about this? I

59
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: would argue that the NFL Draft is the best reality

60
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: television you could come up with. There's no soap opera

61
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: that even comes close to this, and that's all scripted.

62
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: And think about reality television as a genre. Even some

63
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: of that is contrived. I'll say this, it's almost I

64
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: think it might be in some ways maybe not as

65
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: good as Hard Knocks because I know what goes into

66
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. Okay, none of that scripted in the team,

67
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: and you do get a distilled bit of the information

68
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: the stuff that they shoot on Hard Knocks because the

69
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: teams have final say on what you can show on

70
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the program. I think this is why the draft is

71
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: even better than that. There is nothing off limits, and

72
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: I know that. I think this is my argument for

73
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: why the NFL Draft is even better than Hard Knocks.

74
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: I think it's better because it is the plans of

75
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: thirty two teams coming together at one intersection on the

76
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: same three nights in a row, and allan they all

77
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: have to work with each other at times to execute

78
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: their master plan quote unquote. I think I think the

79
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: fun part of it is it's reality TV but done

80
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: in front of a studio audience. I mean, you get

81
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: an instant you get instant feedback because every team is. Yeah,

82
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: every team is like Buffalo, every team is We're like

83
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: every other thirty two teams. They've all got their in

84
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: house media people and they are all like when they pick.

85
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just as big a deal for these

86
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: other teams that pick, you know, twenty through thirty two

87
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: as it is for the Bills of picking in twenty seven.

88
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: They got people like they're just like us. They're talking

89
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: about it all day every day, and maybe not on

90
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: the air like you and I do, but man, when

91
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: you go to that like oh the here, okay, the

92
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals in the first round, pick whatever, you got

93
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: people right there that have been watching there like no, no,

94
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: or they're going yep, that's just the way we like

95
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: when the Eagles picked Donovan McNabb and not Ricky Williams,

96
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Oh well yeah. And when it's like when the Patriots

97
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: picked Cole Strange, even if even other coaches and GM's

98
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: were like going, Sean McVay busted into the laughter. Wow

99
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: really really we had him down at one on one

100
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: where we picked first, right, So you get that is

101
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: a great aspect of the NFL Draft that nothing else

102
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: in that reality TV can can match, because the results

103
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: are are gonna be evident. There's no hiding it though.

104
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: You can't like just to go off into obscurity. You're

105
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna be on the air for three hours on Sunday afternoons,

106
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: and the guy you just picked had better be out

107
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: there jumping through hoops for you, otherwise you look like

108
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: a dope. So oh, it's yeah, it is kind of

109
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: good reality TV because it's ongoing. Man, it never stops.

110
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: And these are the you know, these are the we're

111
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: getting introduced to the new cast of characters. You know

112
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: that some of them may be with us for a

113
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: couple of decades as they head in the Hall of Fame.

114
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. You don't think about it. Yeah,

115
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean these some of these guys are going to

116
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: become part of a city's vernacular. They're like household names, yeah,

117
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: and you're gonna find out who they are. It's pretty

118
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: cool because of the magnitude of the game, you know,

119
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: because of the league helps. It's unbelievable how big this

120
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, eight hundred pound guerrilla is, so you get

121
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: some of that, but it's a big dinny. You're right,

122
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: it is really good reality TV, and it is in

123

144
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: but there is a new episode up this week, which

145
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: we think you'll find very interesting. We're present they're presented

146
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: by fan Duel and it's called Bills by the Numbers.

150
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: there we are, and we take a little bit more

151
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: of a statistical slant on things. It's not over the top,

152
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: but we present some numbers that are often very interesting

153
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: as they pertain directly to the bills. In this week's

154
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: episode deals with draft value from a surplus perspective by position.

155
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. So if you need your fix tomorrow

156
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: when we don't have one Bills Live, you can listen

157

Speaker 1: we're taking your questions in the OBL Fan Friday mail Bag,

163
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: which is presented by Kalidah Health, the official healthcare system

164
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo bills and there is yet again Steve

165
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: some AFC East news. It has been all week long.

166
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: This time, Tyreek Hill drops the bomb. Appearing on a

167
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: podcast this week, he said that his plans were to

168
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: play up to ten seasons in the NFL and then

169
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: call it quits, which would be after According to him,

170
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: his current contract is up following the twenty twenty five season,

171
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: which means he would play three more seasons and then

172
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: call it a career. So he already he basically laid

173
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: that out. This is a five time All Pro player.

174
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: He's already won a Super Bowl, which he did with

175
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs back in twenty nineteen, been voted to the

176
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Probe each of the seven years he's been in the league.

177
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: So he's looking to do different business ventures after his

178
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: playing career is over. Steve, good luck. I think it

179
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: would have to be some kind of express delivery service.

180
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: Wouldn't he be perfect for that, you know, being a

181
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: fast guy. Yeah, yeah, I get it. The cheatah you know,

182
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: Cheetah delivery something like that like that. Yeah, buy some

183
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: trucks and make some shipments or something or whatever. And

184
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: then you did you just use yourself as your own

185
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: spokesperson that could work, you would be That would be

186
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: my marketing recommendation to him. What else you know, well,

187
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: who knows whatever he wants? I guess sure that contract. Well,

188
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: I mean he's making thirty million a year here for

189
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: the last four years of his career, so you could

190
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: do a lot worse than that. Yep, just invested properly.

191
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: So he's going to be gone after the twenty five season, correct,

192
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: which will be his age thirty one season, where I

193
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: think even he is smart enough to realize he's probably

194
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: not going to be quite the Cheatah, he was still

195
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: pretty fast to what last time I saw him? Yeah,

196
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: they well now he is now he's only twenty eight.

197
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: But and it's not even um, it's not even that

198
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: you know he's that fact because we had a lot

199
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: of fast guys in league. But the thing is about Tyrek,

200
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,479
Speaker 1: and he's explosive. The guy can change direction and accelerate

201
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: faster than anybody else from a standing start. That's why

202
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: he can get out ahead of these guys. And then

203
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: when he gets out ahead of him, and he also

204
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: outruns him as well. But man, old man, he's he isn't.

205
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: You gotta admit it. Whether you like the guy or not,

206
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: whether he's on your team or not. The guy's special, right,

207
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: the guy's a special athlete and he's making the most

208
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: of it. And I if he can actually pull it

209
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: off and just say I'm like, just wipe his hands

210
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: to say I'm done and walk away and stay away

211
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: and bless his heart, because it's hard to do. That's

212
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: hard to do, particularly at age thirty one. Well, yeah,

213
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: but particularly. I mean I didn't stop til I was

214
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: thirty five. That's what I'm saying. At thirty one, he's

215
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: still gonna feel pretty good. And you would think and

216
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: think about it too. I what if he's playing goods?

217
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: What if he's still playing well? I look, I'm not

218
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: taking this comment to the bank by any means. I

219
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: just thought it was interesting. Right, He'll probably change his

220
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: mind ten times between now. I'll say this too. It

221
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: does say something about what he's accomplished, so you know,

222
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: there's nothing else out there for him. It's got a

223
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: huge contract, and he's won a Super Bowl, and he's

224
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl every year and been All Pro five times. Right,

225
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: what is there left for him? I mean, otherwise other

226
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: than looking at receiver records, he's led the league in

227
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: receiving yards. Just did that, So that's that is a

228
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: Oh no, did he lose that to Justin Jefferson. I

229
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: think Justin Jefferson I think was finished second now that

230
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, but still, um, it really gets It'll

231
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: be interesting to see, you know, and you always kind

232
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: of like throw darts at it and you know, kind

233
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: of criticize er whatever his statement was. We kind of scrutinized.

234
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: Scrutinized it, I guess is the best word. Um. I

235
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: wonder if he's going to take it out of gear,

236
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, because it sounds kind of like he's thinking

237
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: about it already. Well, it's like your former coach used

238
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: to say, if you're thinking about retirement, you've already retired. Yeah,

239
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: that'll be something to keep an eye on, because he's

240
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: already got it in his head as to I can

241
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: see the end of this, and I'm let's face it,

242
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: who whose life's better than his? Right now? Goodness gracious? Yeah, right,

243
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see if if he comes

244
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: out with the same fire that we've seen from him.

245
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Interesting nonetheless, three more seasons with Tyreek Hill quarterback news

246
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: continuing concerning the draft Steve Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker scheduled

247
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: to meet with the Buccaneers on a pre Draft thirty visit.

248
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: He's been making rounds with a lot of the quarterback

249
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: needy teams. He's met with the Saints, He's met with

250
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: the Commanders and the Titans. So the Bucks are the

251
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: latest team to bring him in for a pre draft visit.

252
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: Each team gets thirty of those. Basically, the Bucks have

253
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield on a one year deal. Backup Kyle Trask

254
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: is still on his rookie contract, so to say there's

255
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: a long term answer at the position would be foolhardy.

256
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,479
Speaker 1: So you can understand their interest. They have the nineteenth

257
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, Steve, so basically you have Tampa

258
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: at nineteen. The other teams that have had him in

259
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: for a visit Washington who picks sixteenth, Tennessee who picks eleventh,

260
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: and New Orleans who picks twenty ninth. There is growing

261
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: sentiment that Hendon Hooker is going to find his way

262
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: into the first round, and if he does, if you're

263
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: a Bills fan, you're hoping he goes in front of

264
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: the Bills to push more chal down to Buffalo. Yeah,

265
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: that's the short term win. But the thing about Hendon

266
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: Herk Hooker is if people aren't familiar with him, he's

267
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Volunteers quarterback. This last year. He got an

268
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: ACL injury in November and November he's not going to

269
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: be ready to play until halfway through the NFL season

270
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: if he's on schedule and can get back to it.

271
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: The thought, though, is before he got hurt, he was

272
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: a very good player. Now certainly you'll have you can

273
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: poke holes in his game like every but that guy

274
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: can really play and he is a really top prosper

275
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: It's in my mind. I watched the guy play and

276
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: I liked him. I think he's a really good player,

277
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: and he's got a high ceiling. I think so it

278
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: the injury throws a wrench into where you think you're

279
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: gonna draft him though he's not going to be a

280
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: top five pick because he's not going to be available

281
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: for his first year. But if you've got a guy

282
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: like a Ryan Tannehill like Tennessee, who you can scooch

283
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: through one more year and then have Hendon Hooker come

284
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: in and get active later in the season, maybe get

285
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: a late season start if you're in it or out

286
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: of it, or if a meaningless game comes up late,

287
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: you get him on the field and then you spend

288
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: the entire offseason acclimating him on a rookie contract. Then

289
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: he comes in his second year much like Pat Mahomes did,

290
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: and he's off and running because it'll be one hundred

291
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: percent healthy. Teams like that like the Saints, although they've

292
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: got Derek Carr, same kind of thing, though they're not

293
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: married to him. And the Bucks have Baker Mayfield on

294
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: a one year deal. Yeah, and Hendon Hooker might be

295
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: able to beat Baker Mayfield out with a cast on

296
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: his leg. Here's the interesting thing as it pertains to

297
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: Hooker specifically, Washington commanders the same thing. Go ahead, here's

298
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: the interesting thing as it pertains to Hooker specifically. You

299
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: have the four quarterbacks in front of him, Stroud, Bryce Young,

300
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: Will Levis richardson right. Okay, Hooker is the end of

301
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: the tier. There is a precipitous drop off after Hooker

302
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: to like the third round, like middle late third round

303
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: is where they have like the next quarterback, that Jake

304
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: Haner kid who was at the Senior Bowl. That's a

305
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: precipitous drop off. So if you are a quarterback needy team,

306
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: and those four are off the board already, which many

307
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: anticipate will all be off the board before you're out

308
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: of the top ten. There's gonna be some jockeying for

309
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: position to go get Hendon Hooker if they think he

310
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: is the bottom of Tier one. Most believe he is,

311
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: and who knows, he might have been even higher in

312
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: Tier one had he not had the ACL injury. So

313
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: he's the last guy left and you're a quarterback needy team.

314
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: Watch what some of these teams do to go get him, Steve.

315
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: They might get him because they get a five year deal.

316
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: If you can get him in the first round. If

317
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: you get him thirty thirty first or whatever, you jump

318
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: up you get him, you get an extra year on

319
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: the deal, and if he turns out to be the

320
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: best guy ever, you got him tied up for seven years,

321
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: so even if he doesn't want to play for you.

322
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's what the Baltimore Ravens are

323
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: doing with Lamar. So you really do kind of want

324
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: to grab him in the first round if you can,

325
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: but like I said, he's not ready, so it's kind

326
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: of takes even if you take him high or a

327
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: little too high. It takes the pressure off getting him

328
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: on the field because he can't play because of his injury,

329
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: which is a perfect built in excuse for the kid

330
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: to sit and watch and learn, and you find out

331
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: about him and you get him ready and you work

332
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: on him and the whole thing, and he comes out

333
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: and has a much better chance of success in year

334
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: two when he can take a full off season, be

335
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: a pro athlete and show up ready to play, He's

336
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: got a better chance to succeed. And to me, it's

337
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: great on a lot of levels for teams because we

338
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: I've seen all the worst case scenarios over the course

339
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: of the years. Guy coming in and because they draft

340
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: him high, you gotta play him and he's not ready,

341
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: the team stinks around him because that's why you were

342
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: drafting high, and he never recovers. Yeah. I just the

343
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: more I look at this, the more I believe Hooker

344
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: is going to go in front of the Bills at

345
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven, which is good because again it pushes more

346
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: talent down. Like if Will Levis is still on the

347
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: board and you get to Tennessee at eleven and let's

348
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: just say hypothetically, Tennessee passes on him at eleven. Well,

349
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: now he could slide all the way down to Washington

350
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: at sixteen, Tampa Bay at nineteen, Houston could take it,

351
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, and then in that particular case,

352
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: maybe he does last until New Orleans at twenty nine.

353
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: But if will Levis goes somewhere in the top ten

354
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: eleven picks, it's odd and team like Washington, Tampa and

355
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: New Orleans are going to be hot after him, and

356
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna make a move to go get to beat

357
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: the other team to the punch, is what I mean.

358
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: Because there's there's there's not enough supply and too much demand,

359
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: so somebody's gonna move up and take him earlier than

360
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us anticipated going. And you

361
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: want to throw a wrench or some real intrigue into

362
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: what do that gets to the Baltimore Ravens who pick

363
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: at twenty two and they take him. Yeah, that's right,

364
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: because Ravens GM Eric da Costa and John Harbaugh yesterday

365
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: met the media for their pre draft luncheon and a

366
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: lot was made of Hey, no questions on Lamar, only

367
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: draft questions, but a lot of what happens with Lamar

368
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: impacts what they're going to do in the draft. Yeah,

369
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: no question. So da Costa was asked, is quarterback a

370
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: possibility in round one? And first he said it depends

371
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: on the board, but then he said, but yes, it's

372
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: a possibility because we have quarterbacks in the top thirty

373
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: one players on our board, which isn't a surprise. I

374
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: think a lot of people would expect Bryce Young and

375
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: you know CJ. Stroud to be in anybody's top thirty

376
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: one on their draft board, so that's not shocking. But yeah,

377
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: you're right, like one of those top five guys slides

378
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: to twenty three wouldn't be a bad idea. No. I mean,

379
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: they obviously have a better sense as to how the

380
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: whole Lamar thing is going to play out than we do,

381
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: being ten thousand miles away from it. But if they

382
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 1: have any shred of doubt that Lamar is ever going

383
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: to play for them again, yeah, why not start now? Starting?

384
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: They have other holes, Grant, and this Hendon Hooker scenario

385
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense because Lamar he's not gonna be Hooker's

386
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: not gonna be ready to play at all until November.

387
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: So Lamar doesn't even have feel threatened by anybody sitting

388
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: there next to him until November or whatever, and then

389
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: the season's often you've got to handle on what's going

390
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: to happen next and that, and that would also preclude

391
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: their pressure on the Baltimore Ravens to do a deal

392
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: at any cost with Lamar. So so let me ask

393
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: you this. Let's just say the Ravens believe the chances

394
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: of signing Lamar to an extension is sixty five thirty five.

395
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: For it to happen, you gotta sit you feel in

396
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: your heart of hearts your odds are sixty five thirty

397
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: five that you're gonna get Lamar signed to an extension. Right,

398
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: If you draft a quarterback, you ruin those percentages. Right.

399
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: Some might argue it gives you more leverage. I would

400
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: argue it would ruin any good faith negotiations you've been

401
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: able to have with Lamar. So if you're sixty five

402
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: thirty five, I think you have avoid quarterback in round one.

403
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: But if you're fifty fifty on getting Lamar done on

404
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 1: an extension, I'm pulling the trigger. Give me the give

405
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: me the young quarterback, because I'm not gonna get caught

406
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: with my pants down here, right, That's right, I'll say this.

407
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what Lamar is asking for. I don't

408
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: know if anybody does. So I think we all believe

409
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: he's asking for a fully guaranteed contract, right, how big

410
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: a contract? Because if he wants five million dollars a

411
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: year for five years, I'll guarantee all of that, you

412
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So there's there's a gray area

413
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: in there what they're willing to guarantee and what they're

414
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: willing to pay for that guarantee. I have to believe

415
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: the floor for Lamar is two thirty, right, it's gonna

416
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: be like Deshan Gott. So if there's if they're saying

417
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: there's no way and he's not budging, and he hasn't

418
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: budged since day one, and you haven't had any given

419
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: take you and you're not gonna move that, that's how

420
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: willing are you to not do that? And if you're

421
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: completely not willing and he's convinced he's not willing, and

422
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: you're at an impass draft, a quarterback draft, A quarterback draft,

423
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: A quarterback I'm which would make me happy again because

424
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that would be five quarterbacks, which puts

425
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: the Bills up at pick twenty two. Yeah, conceivably yes,

426
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: So all of that. Yeah, so I'm I'm it's intriguing

427
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: because Baltimore has put them. Now, I'll say this for

428
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens, it looks like they're in a bad spot

429
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: because of Lamar and all that They have played it

430
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: exactly right in my estimation, gonna I'm not gonna guarantee

431
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: Lamar a contract. He gets hurt too much and he can't.

432
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't throw. Her passing offense doesn't throw. And I

433
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: don't tell you what the passing offense not being as

434
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: good as it could be is on Lamar. It's not

435
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: on the wide receivers, not like it's la Lamar. It's

436
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: not on Greg Roman. It's on Lamar. You can say

437
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: what you want. It's on Lamar. Every other the great

438
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks elevate those guys, that's what they do. Everybody around

439
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: him gets better. And if you if you can't throw

440
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: the foot, it's on Lamar. Because I'll say what Anderson,

441
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: they're tight end had a really nice year last year.

442
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: Why didn't the other guys you know you're saying they

443
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: were never open? They didn't. He couldn't make those No,

444
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: it's on Lamar. In my opinion, Yeah, it's on Lamar,

445
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: and certainly better players make you better. But they got

446
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: they got fifty three guys. They gotta fifty three man

447
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: roster just like everybody else. They can't just they already

448
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: made the entire switch of organization over to Lamar's way

449
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: of doing business. All right, So let's think about this now.

450
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: We already talked about how intriguing the draft is. You

451
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: have the Lamar things still sitting out there, and sometimes

452
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: deadlines force people to move, and some people view the

453
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: draft as a deadline as far as improving their roster

454
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: is concerned. So could something unfold with Lamar certainly possible,

455
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: And the latest report out of New York is that

456
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: Draft weekend at the earliest is the current target for

457
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: an Aaron Rodgers trade to the Jets. They're pushing this

458
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: all the way past the draft to the draft as

459
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: the earliest point in time. Could happen after the draft. Personally,

460
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: I think if it goes after the draft, I think

461
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: Green Bay is going to be asking for more, not less,

462
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: because they've missed out on improving their roster with additional

463
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: draft capital from the Jets. If you don't get this

464
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: done before the draft and give the Jet give the

465
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: Packers whatever draft capital they were looking for. Well, now

466
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: the Packers are asking for more, I think because they

467
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: can't help themselves now with draft picks. You know what

468
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, does that make sense? Yeah, sure, sure

469
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: it does. I don't know. And certainly the only leverage

470
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers have over the Jets is the

471
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: fact that Jets don't have a quarterback and that what

472
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: that they got to get rid of Aaron before they

473
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: pay him fifty seven million dollars in cash. Yeah, I mean,

474
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: that's the leverage they have. They you know, you think

475
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is seriously going to go back and start

476
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: practicing with the Green Bay Packers at all. He's not

477
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: going to. They gotta move him. Now, what the Jets

478
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: are the leverage linger leverage the Jets had, They don't

479
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: have any leverage none at all. They gotta wait. But

480
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: the problem is it's costing them Aaron Rodgers getting acclimated

481
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: into their offense, into this and that and the other,

482
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: albeit it's the same offense. Yeah, you know, you think

483
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: about it. He can't throw with those guys. He could

484
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: on his off time. I guess as a just an

485
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: independent workout. Let's go out in California and get together

486
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: with his receivers, that kind of thing. That's not I

487
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to happen, you know. That's

488
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: what the Jets are losing out all this, the fact

489
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: that he can't get in the building and get ready

490
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: to be a jet elsewhere in the AFC East. There's more, Oh,

491
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: there's more. The New England Patriots will be hosting Boston

492
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: College wide receivers A Flowers on a pre draft visit.

493
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: New England has the number fourteen picking the draft. If

494
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: they take him at fourteen, that's gonna start a run

495
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: pretty early on the receiver class, maybe even a little

496
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: earlier than I had hoped, because to me, there's probably

497
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: only three or four receivers at least, And this is

498
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: just me talking that I could see going in round one,

499
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know, may start that run at fourteen.

500
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be anything left by twenty seven,

501
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: is what I'm getting at there. One of the two yes,

502
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: you're right, the two guys that are a little bit

503
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: of wild cards there. If you think there's only four guys,

504
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: it's like you're talking about Zay Flowers, Addison in Jigba

505
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: and who probably Quentin Us, maybe Jalen jen Hind See,

506
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: there you go, there's there that right, there is is

507
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: like five guys. Yeah, I don't think I don't know why.

508
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: I just don't think Hyatt makes Then you've got guys

509
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: like you know, Cedric Tillman, Tank Bell, Tank Dell and

510
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: Josh Downs before after that, you know, I'm don't forget

511
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: our guy Jonathan Mingo. Jonathan Mingo, I'm there you go. Yeah,

512
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: so there's a bunch of guys that could get taken

513
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: in that. But to me, we've been talking about this

514
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: for weeks. They're all the same guy except for a

515
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: few of them. Right. Meanwhile, the Patriots, according to reports

516
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: in The Athletic, have quietly shown interest in adding another

517
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: blue chip back to their roster. They already have a

518
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: workhorse in Ramondre Stevenson. They did lose Damien Harris to

519
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: the Bills in free agency, but there is talk that

520
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: the Atriots are showing a keen interest in Bijean Robinson

521
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Iven when they are on the clock with the fourteenth pick. Look,

522
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to tell you that you need

523
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: to support a quarterback like Mac Jones, who at this

524
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: point we don't even know if he's gonna be there.

525
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy could get moved on draft weekend too,

526
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: based on all the reports we're hearing out of there

527
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: about the falling out between him and Belichick. And so

528
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: I can understand wanting to get a dynamic back to

529
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: support a quarterback with deficiencies and this guy is supposed

530
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: to be special, But I don't know, And maybe you

531
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: go at it with a two headed monster. You're telling

532
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: me Bijean Robinson is going to be like what better

533
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: than say Quon. I think he's not far off of

534
00:31:52,280 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: what sa Quan does. He's not as big, but he's

535
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: in if I'm not going to deny that. I just

536
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: don't know how. I don't know how he makes New

537
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: England demonstrably better because they have so many other areas

538
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: that have to be addressed. And you could argue they're

539
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: okay at running back with Romandre Stevenson. Right to me,

540
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: it's almost like a luxury pick. Do you upgrade the

541
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 1: running back room with him in it? Yes? I mean

542
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: Ramandre Stevenson does not have the athletic skill set that

543
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: Bjean Robinson does. It would be an improvement, but I

544
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: think there's so many other places for the Patriots to improve.

545
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: To me, it doesn't make sense. That's just where I'm

546
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: coming from. The other running back they are supposedly considering

547
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: is Jamir Gibbs from Alabama, who in many cases hasn't

548
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: even been mocked in the first round. You could arguably

549
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: get him in round two, and you want to do that,

550
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: I'll listen to that. But using your top pick at

551
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: fourteen on a running back, I don't know. Yeah, I'm

552
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: well they did last year with an offensive guard that

553
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: was projected as a third rounder. Yeah. I mean they've

554
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: made so they know what they're doing, because when it

555
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: comes to the draft they seem pretty inept. Yeah, they've

556
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: made some really poor picks, really poor picks. We have

557
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: to get to break here, but before we do, one

558
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: last note. In around the NFL, Penn State cornerback Joey

559
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: Porter Junior is on a visit with the Ravens today.

560
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: Reminder the Ravens pick twenty third in round one. We

561
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: take a break here. Reminder ob L Fan Friday mail

562
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: bag is open a day early because Steve and I

563
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: are off for good Friday. So if you have any questions,

569
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. And Ian Rappaport just had an interesting report, Steve.

570
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: He's been reporting heavily on the pre Draft thirty visits

571
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: for NFL draft prospects who are zooming around the country,

572
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: meeting with teams this late in the game, which is

573
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: kind of commonplace. And he just reported that one of

574
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 1: your favorite players in the draft, Steve Tennessee right tackle

575
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: Darnell Wright, is on a Top thirty visit with the

576
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: Packers today. Spend time with the Bears yesterday, and his

577
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: next stop is the Bills on a tour that apparently

578
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: includes twenty NFL teams. I think it's safe to say

579
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: this guy will be off the board night one of

580
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah. I that means with all those visits,

581
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna make it down to

582
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: twenty sevens are not looking good. He was my you know,

583
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: he's my crush that we had that during the week

584
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: we had you know, who's the guy you think the

585
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: bills can take and who you want him to take?

586
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: That kind of thing, And I see he's the guy

587
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: picked I picked too high. He's he's not gonna be there,

588
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: might not be, Golly Darnett. So yeah, he's making the rounds.

589
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: So according to NFL Networks Ian Rampaport, he will be here,

590
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: and we're assuming that'll be tomorrow. If he's got this

591
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: whirlwind tour and he's in Green Bay today, well he's

592
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: let's say it's tomorrow because it's not gonna be well,

593
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be Eastern East weekend. Yeah, right, so yeah,

594
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: so you go, there you go. But that's cool, that's cool.

595
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: I like that. I like working tomorrow. So I'm not

596
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: even gonna get a chance to meet my guy. Yeah,

597
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: if in fact he's here, So not like he's gonna

598
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: want to meet me, but still could at least stick

599
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: his head in the door and say hi, yeah, I

600
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:07,680

Speaker 1: Question one comes from Andrew and he asks, with Sean

609
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: McDermott taking on the defensive play calls as he put

610
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: himself on the hot seat, if this season doesn't pan

611
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 1: out like it should. I know, the whole team falls

612
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: on his shoulders at the end of the day. But

613
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: with this move he can't blame anyone but himself. Now,

614
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: I don't think it adds any more pressure to him.

615
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: In fact, it may take it off, if you know,

616
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: if the defense plays well, which is no reason to

617
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: think it shouldn't, I mean, Tremaine Edmunds. Notwithstanding, if the

618
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: defense plays well and the team you know, does what

619
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: it did last year or two years ago or whatever,

620
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: if they're as good as they've been under him, there's

621
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: no reason to think he's any more under any more

622
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: pressure because he's calling the defense than anybody else. Now,

623
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: if the defense comes out and it's twenty eighth in

624
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: the league, with the same cast of characters and no

625
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 1: real drop off in talent. He might be able to say, listen,

626
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: I can't do both, and then you'll have either Leslie

627
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: Frasier come back or whatever. They'll do something else, They'll

628
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: say I can't do both, and it becomes obvious. So

629
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: and that's an easy, easy out for him rather than

630
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: an excuse to let him go. So I'm yeah, I

631
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think him calling the defensive

632
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 1: signals does anything to make it more likely or less

633
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: likely that he's gonna get fired or let go, or

634
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: the team does better or worse. I mean, we still

635
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: have to wait and see how they play. But yeah,

636
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: I don't think it has anything to do with his

637
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: head coaching team year in my opinion, right, I don't

638
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: think so either. I mean, they're one of five teams

639
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: that won thirteen games or more last year, and I

640
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: understand last year is last year. But as Steve said,

641
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any reason to believe that the

642
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: defense is going to fall off a cliff this year.

643
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: And I think Sean McDermott feels confident that with his

644
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: play calling, the defense might even be more effective, and

645
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: it has been. And let's face it, with the naked eye,

646
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean all of us, the Bills fans and everything,

647
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: the Bills defense statistically was awesome. But with your the

648
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: only concerns you'd have are criticisms Bills fans that I've

649
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: heard had was they didn't make enough plays. Now, they

650
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: did make a few more last year than they did

651
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: two years ago, but you know what I'm saying, like

652
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: not enough turnovers, not enough sacks. You know, it wasn't

653
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: a dynamic playmaking defense right there was. There weren't enough

654
00:38:54,760 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: splash plays. They kept the other team stifled. You know,

655
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: once in a while. They went through a stretch last

656
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: year where it seemed like if it was third and eleven,

657
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: they couldn't help but give up a first down, that

658
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing, you know, where I was pretty frustrating.

659
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: But they were, you know, they were winning games. Ever,

660
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: they went through an eight game winning streak last year.

661
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, good grief, they were. They were tough out.

662
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: So if you're going to criticize him, you know, maybe

663
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: the defense could be ranked lower this coming year than

664
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: it was a year ago, but we might think it's

665
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: a better defense because it shows up when it needs

666
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: to show up. You know what I'm saying. That would

667
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: go a long way, I think towards making people have

668
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: a perception of it being actually a better defense with

669
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott than with Leslie Frasier, because every once in

670
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: a while he does something or he'll get the credit

671
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: for a play being made. You know that they that

672
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: we don't remember them being able to make under Leslie Frasier.

673
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: That's the only criticism I've heard of the defense, and

674
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: the only one I would I could think of is

675
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: maybe they make more splash play then they did under

676
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: Leslie with Sean McDermott. Let's go to the phones to

677
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: see what questions lie there, and we lead off with

678
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: Gordon in Buffalo. What do you got for us? Gordon? Okay,

679
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: do you think Miami or New England's gonna give Buppa

680
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: a run from the money in the division? Yeah? I'm

681
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: not worried about New England. I think Miami is a

682
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: legitimate threat provided to a stays healthy, and that's a

683
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: big question mark as I see it. But New England, no,

684
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: I am not worried about that team at all. They

685
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: are a distant fourth from the rest of the division.

686
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: They just don't have the horses. I think if if

687
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: the deal with Aaron Rodgers comes through, the Jets get him,

688
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: that's the team I worry about. Yeah, Miami too. Now

689
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: I think Miami has closed. They're close. I mean they're

690
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: they're good. They're a good football team when they're healthy

691
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: and two is clicking, they're really good New York Jets.

692
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers changes things for that franchis. All of a sudden,

693
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: the Jets become a team that believes, and that's really

694
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: dangerous New England. I don't know what to tell you.

695
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: I think I think the roofs caven in over there. Um,

696
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: the way they drafted last year, now they still, you know,

697
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: put it together. They want eight games. This last year

698
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: with mac their offense was an absolute atrocity, but their

699
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: defenses remained solid. So yeah, I think the Jets in Miami,

700
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: yeah they could. They're gonna think they can beat the

701
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: Bills in the division. They're gonna they're they're thinking they

702
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: can give the Bills a run for their money. But

703
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: I still think the guys here in Buffalo are the

704
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: best team in the division. They have to play like

705
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: it against those teams, but I think that that's where

706
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: I'm at. They're still the cream of the crop in

707
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: in the division. Speaking of the Jets, will have more

708
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Jets, will have more on them an

709
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: hour number two of the show, when we have our

710
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: good friend Liege Dos Jets analysts joining us. An our

711
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: number two of the show, we'll get the latest on

712
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers situation. The Jets just signed a quarterback.

713
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: It's a backup Tim Doyle who played with Rogers in

714
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: Green Bag. So people continue to connect the dots there,

715
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: but we'll catch up with l J in the second

716
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: hour of the show. Morrier phone calls and tweets. Next though,

717
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: here on an obl Fan Thursday mail Bag one Bills

718
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: Live presented by Colloid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

719
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: All right, OBL Fan Thursday mail Bags and Steve and

720
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: I are off for the Good Friday holiday tomorrow, and

721
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: Jess asks, what are the odds the Bills trade up

722
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: in round one? I think we've all seen that Brandon

723
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: is not shy about being aggressive if he believes it

724
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: makes sense for improving his roster. He did it just

725
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: last year, going up a couple of spots. To take

726
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: kayre Elam because in his estimation and the board that

727
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: he has in his draft room was saying, we're running

728
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: out of round one prospects here, especially at cornerback. So

729
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: if you want one, you're gonna have to make a

730
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: move to ensure you get one. And he moved up

731
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: with two spots. What was it twenty three to twenty

732
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: one to get kayre Elam out of Florida. He's done

733
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: it for Tremaine Edmonds in round one. He did it

734
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen trading up twice in round one. So

735
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: it's happened before very easily it could happen again. I think,

736
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: much like last year, it would be a small move.

737
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: We're not talking about a big leap up the board,

738
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: something like two to four spots tops twenty seven. The

739
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: Bill Minnesota at twenty three, Jacksonville is at twenty four,

740
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:07,479
Speaker 1: the Giants are at twenty five. Minnesota at twenty three

741
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: and the Giants at twenty five both need corners, and

742
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: that to me, if both those teams need a corner

743
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: and the Bills are trying to move up, there's a

744
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: lot of corners in this draft. Last year there were

745
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: nine defensive backs taken in the first round. That would

746
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: the Bills could make that happen, move up a couple

747
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: of spots all the way to twenty three to Minnesota.

748
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: If Minnesota, now Jacksonville is at twenty four, they need

749
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: a defensive end, a defensive tackle, and a corner, it

750
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: will be how the board falls to those guys at

751
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: that point. Now, if all the d tackles and defensive

752
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: ends are gone, they could go corner because Jacksonville needs

753
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: one two. I think that's the key. What is there

754
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: a run on those positions that would allow the Bills

755
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: to say, listen, we want to jump up and take

756
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: this tackle, this offensive tackle. Jacksonville sitting there at twenty

757
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: four or Minnesotas at twenty three say well, we don't

758
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: need a tackle. And if we go to twenty seven,

759
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: we got enough guys that we could throw in a

760
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: fourth rounder with this pick. You throw in a fourth rounder, Buffalo,

761
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: we'll give you this pick. We'll take your twenty seventh pick,

762
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: we'll get an extra pick, and we'll still get the

763
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: tackle or the corner that we like. Because you're not

764
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: taking in you're taking a tackle. We think we think

765
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: let's do it well. The Bills would tell him, you know,

766
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 1: would the way Brandon usually puts it, as he says,

767
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, our guy, if our guys there right that

768
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know. If they give away positions

769
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: too much, that's right. But or they could say, I

770
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: don't know they we're probably not looking for what you're

771
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: looking for. Yes, we're not looking for that. We're looking

772
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: for a big guy. Well, I don't think he says that.

773
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: What I says, I don't think we're looking for what

774
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: you're looking for. So you don't have to worry about

775
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: taking what I think you're gonna be taken. So that,

776
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: however the conversation goes, that's what would happen. And that's

777
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: about us to me. And I don't know if you

778
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: agree with this brownie. That's as far as I see

779
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: him jumping. If they're gonna trade, they're not going they're

780
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: not going up to fifteen even forget about getting up

781
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: to twenty. Yeah, they're right, it's a it's really expensive

782
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: to do it in the first round. And I think

783
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: you're looking at a two you know, twenty five, twenty four,

784
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: twenty three, jo spots, two to four spots. That's it, um,

785
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: But it could happen. It could happen if if there's

786
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: a guy there and we don't know, I don't know

787
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: what there is. If there's a guy there that they

788
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: want and they think the Giants or the Cowboys at

789
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: twenty six are gonna get him or one of the

790
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: other things there, they'll jump, They'll do it. I don't

791
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: know how likely that is, though, it's impossible to say.

792
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: Ed out of the mail bag asks how many players

793
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: did the Bills draft this year or do they use

794
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: some of the current picks in deals? Well, I mean

795
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: that's hard to answer too, because not even the Bills

796
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: know how the board's gonna unfold, and an opportunity like

797
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: the one we were just describing may present itself. And

798
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: now you give up a four, Now you have only

799
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: five picks instead of six. The Bills do not have

800
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: a seventh. They have a pick in every other round.

801
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: The only one they have that was not originally theirs

802
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: is their fifth round pick, which they got from Arizona

803
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: and the Cody Ford trade, where they pick like third

804
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: or second in the round, so that one's considerably higher

805
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 1: than where they pick in the other rounds. Otherwise, it's

806
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: one through six, No seven, so if they make a trade,

807
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: like Steve was just outlining, they're down to five picks,

808
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: but it's hard to predict whether they'll keep all of

809
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: them or not. At this point it's still I think

810
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 1: the best guess would be they're gonna get their six

811
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: picks and that's what they're gonna walk away with. They

812
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: do need cheap labor, yes, if they do, I don't

813
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: know what they would trade. Maybe maybe they'd trade to

814
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: pick next year for next one this year, maybe late

815
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: in the draft, like they get two fives or two sixes.

816
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: But I think right now the way the boards that

817
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: you have to you have to say the best odds

818
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 1: are that they're gonna sit right where they're at, because

819
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: you gotta you start getting an old moving parts that

820
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 1: are unpredictable. If you're gonna trade, you gotta have a partner,

821
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: and that's impossible to say. So the best odds are

822
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: that they're gonna stand pat But we've seen it t

823
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: happened too much that something happened, and there isn't shy

824
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: about moving around board right for the right people. All Right,

825
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break here because in our number

841
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: us to talk Jets. Who are I don't know in

842
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 1: a holding pattern? Still on the whole Aaron Rodgers thing, Leje,

843
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: how are you doing? First of all? And then second

844
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: of all, what do you believe is the primary hold

845
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: up in all of the Rogers stuff. Hey, Chris and Steve,

846
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: It's always great to be on you know, here with

847
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: you guys and talk a little football. To me, the

848
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: biggest hold up is compensation. That's been the biggest hold

849
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: up for I would say the better part of almost

850
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: two months now, right. It's what is Green Bay willing

851
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: to you know, take or receive from the New York

852
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: Jets for the services of Aaron Rodgers. And then also adversely,

853
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: what is Joe Douglas, the GM for the Jets willing

854
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: to give up And we've heard rumors could potentially be

855
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: a second round pick this year, is second round pick

856
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: next year depending on you know, escalators and Aaron Rodgers

857
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: contract could potentially be a first next year. But then

858
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: the Jets also wants to protection as well, because we

859
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: know we followed Aaron Rodgers the last few years. He's

860
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: been on the brink of retiring for the last two

861
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: or three seasons. So if you're Joe Douglas and the Jets,

862
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: you want some protection just in case he does retire

863
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: and doesn't play in twenty four to recoup, you know,

864
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: some compensation back, whether it be if it's a second

865
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: round pick, then you get a third round pick if

866
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: he decides not to play. So, Chris and Steve to me,

867
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: that's the biggest hold up right now. I think the

868
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: Jets have been in uniform since day one saying they're

869
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: willing to take their time in this. Aaron Rodgers knows

870
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 1: the system and you guys know it. It's a little

871
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: different than it used to be in off seasons in

872
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: the past, right, Guys leave the off season program all

873
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: the time and go work out with their quarterback even

874
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: during OTAs. So it could be a scenario if this

875
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: thing does drag out, say till the draft, where Gared Wilson,

876
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: Allen Lazard, you know, Tyler Conklin, they get with Aaron

877
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: Rodgers in California or somewhere outside of Jersey and they

878
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: continue to work they playbook even though Aaron Rodgers isn't

879
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: technically on the roster. Yeah, let's take it for granted

880
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: for a minute that this is gonna happen. Whenever it

881
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: does happened, whether it's after the draft or pre pre

882
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: camp or whatever, we believe it's gonna happen. Give us

883
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: a percentage of what a difference Aaron Rodgers you're gonna

884
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: make for a Jet roster. I mean, is it gonna

885
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: be you know, twenty percent better, fifty percent better? I mean,

886
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 1: what's this gonna mean to that? A certainly Hope walks

887
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: in the door with him. Yeah, you said it right there,

888
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: Steve Hope right knowing now that you have a you know,

889
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: back to back MVP coming in there into the locker room,

890
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: and even in a down year, right in a down year,

891
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 1: he threw for almost thirty seven hundred yards. The Jets

892
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: haven't had that in forever. So imagine you got a

893
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: top five defense who is always on the field. It

894
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: takes a little bit pressure off of them, Chris and Steve.

895
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: Now you know you have a quarterback, a viable option,

896
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: that quarterback that you may you know, see a downtick.

897
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 1: Instead of being on the field sixty percent of the time,

898
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: maybe you're only on the field forty five fifty percent

899
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: at a time, which means you're fresh in the fourth quarter.

900
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: This was a top five defense and they had really

901
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: no help at the quarterback position last year, so they

902
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: were on the field a lot. So it doesn't just

903
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: helped the offense as far as you know. Some of

904
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 1: the woes the Jets have had on office. I think

905
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: they average right under eighteen points a game. But on

906
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 1: defense now, because you'll be a lot fresher, those pass

907
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: rushers will be able to get after teams late in

908
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Let's spin it to the draft now,

909
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: leg because all of that is getting overshadowed by all

910
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: of this Rogers stuff. And the Jets have pick thirteen.

911
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: They also have two picks in round two. They signed

912
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: some interior offensive lineman in free agency. They lost Sheldon

913
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,479
Speaker 1: Rankins to Houston, so there've been some comings and goings here.

914
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: Is it too easy to say they're going to take

915
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: a swing at offensive tackle again at thirteen because the line,

916
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: even though they've invested heavily there in recent years. In

917
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: the draft, you can make the argument they should go

918
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: right back to it again. Oh yeah, you can never

919
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: have enough offensive lineman. And Joe Douglas likes to build

920
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: his team the right way, and that's inside outline guys first.

921
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: Then he then he fills out the roster with everybody else.

922
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: And if you just look at his drafts, that's what

923
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: he does. And I think Chris, you hit it on

924
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: the head. Thirteen offensive tackle has to be on the

925
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: top of everybody's mind at that position. No matter if

926
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers does coming there. If you don't have anybody

927
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: to protect Aaron Rodgers, it's gonna be a long day.

928
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: He's significantly better when he's upright then when he's on

929
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: his back, So you know. Roderick Jones is a name

930
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: that comes to nine. Comes to mind. Paris Johnson I

931
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: believe will be gone by the time that thirteen spot

932
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: comes around. Peter Skronski is a name that also comes

933
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: to mind. A lot of people think he'll transition better

934
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: at the guard position. I think he could be a

935
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: really good right tackle. And it all comes down, like

936
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: you said, the Jets have invested heavily in the tackle position,

937
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: but ken guard stay healthy. Dwayne Brown is open up

938
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: in smoke whether he'll come back for another year. McKay

939
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: Beckton has looked really good this offseason, but he hasn't

940
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: been able to stay healthy. Promising tackle they took in

941
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: the forethrown last year, Max Mitchell will come back and

942
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: be a hundred percent healthy. And Elijah Vera Tucker is

943
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 1: a guy I think that can be an all Pro guard,

944
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: but it's shown flexibility to step out and be an

945
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: offensive so I think definitely. The tackle position is something

946
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,280
Speaker 1: that the Jets will be looking at to really fortify

947
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: that offensive line to protect Rogers once that trade goes through.

948
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: All right, so protect Aaron Rodgers. How much does this draft?

949
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: Does it move things along with Aaron Rodgers? These picks

950
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: and if something doesn't happen with Aaron Rodgers in this draft,

951
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: how does that change the equation going forward? Because now

952
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about a twenty twenty four draft and picks

953
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: and compensation for the Packers and not this year's draft.

954
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: Does this you know, does the deadline of this draft

955
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 1: and there Rodgers trade, how does that affect the negotiations

956
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: for that happening? Yeah? I think if you're Joe Douglass,

957
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: you got to have two plans, right because if this

958
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 1: thing drags out like you guys just talked about Steve,

959
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: then you have to have your eye enterprize and hoping

960
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get Aaron Rodgers too. But you also

961
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: got to move forward to get the best player available

962
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: with those two picks that you talked about Chris in

963
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: the second round. To me, if you're Green Bay, there's

964
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 1: no way you let this get to pass the second day, right,

965
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: you really want to evaluated and Love. Why don't you

966
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: get some compensation for Aaron Rodgers and put some pieces

967
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 1: around him so you get a true evaluation of Jordan

968
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: Love to see if he is your quarterback of the future.

969
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: But if you're Joe Douglass in the staff, you gotta

970
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: have two plans. You gotta have a plan if the

971
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: trade happens pre draft and if the trade happens after drafting.

972
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure they already had that done. So once they

973
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 1: get let's just say they go offensive tackle in round one.

974
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: Now they got those two picks back to back. Is

975
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: there any word out of there that you know they're

976
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: high on somebody that they might package those two picks

977
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: to move up the board, maybe even climb into the

978
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: bottom around one and go snag after they get the

979
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: offensive tackle. I'm just curious how aggressive Joe Douglas might

980
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 1: want to be or if he's just gonna sit there

981
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: and just go back to back. We've seen Joe Douglass

982
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: in the past the aggressive. Right with the Elijah Vera

983
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: Tucker pick, they had two first round picks, but they

984
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: moved up in the first round and gave up a

985
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: third to get Elijah Vera Tucker. We saw it last

986
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 1: year with Breeze Hall, right, they were trying to climb

987
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: back into the first round and get brief Song, but

988
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: they're able to get him early in day two. Chris,

989
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: in this scenario, I don't see Joe Douglas being that aggressive,

990
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: just because if they do land that tackle at thirteen, now,

991
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: it gives you some leeway depending on if the Aaron

992
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers trade happens or not, where you can address the

993
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: center position with a John Michael Smith's maybe, or even

994
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: the interior defensive tackle position. You talked about Sheldon Rankins leaving.

995
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't think people understand how big a loss that

996
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: is for the New York Jets. With Quinny Williams and

997
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: Sheldon Rankings were in there, they were creating havoc in

998
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: the interior that defensive line, and it helped edge guys

999
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: like Carl Lawson and Bryce Huff coming off the edge,

1000
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: and Jermaine Johnson. So they gotta address that as well.

1001
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: Guy I really like us Keano Benton will see if

1002
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: he lasts to the third The thing is the Jets

1003
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: don't have a third round pick because they had to

1004
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: give that up to the Cleveland Browns in that trade

1005
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: for Elijah More, but could they potentially with that second

1006
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: round pick maybe moved back. We'll see. This is all again, Chris,

1007
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: depending on what happens with Aaron Rodgers, because if those

1008
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: that trade doesn't happen in Day two, then they have

1009
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: those you know, those two picks back to back. I

1010
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,439
Speaker 1: can see Joe Douglass moving one of those picks back,

1011
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: or potentially picking a center and a defensive tackle back

1012
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: to back in the second round. How do the signings

1013
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: in free agency, particularly at the skill positions you know

1014
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: Lazard and Mikole Hardman, how do these skill positions plus

1015
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: with Bruce Hall coming back and obviously he's gonna take

1016
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: a while to get back in his stride, but the

1017
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: skill positions around Aaron Rodgers when he gets there, what

1018
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: are those gonna turn out to be? How do you

1019
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: think that's gonna shape up? Well? First and foremost, you

1020
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: love the Alan Lazard signing. A big body receiver that

1021
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: has familiarity with Aaron Rodgers has fourteen touchdowns in the

1022
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: last two years. The Jets really struggled Stephen christ in

1023
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: the red zone scoring touchdowns. This is a big body

1024
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: receiver who can shield off dbs, on slant routes and

1025
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: even on fade routes, go up and get the football.

1026
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: So that familiarity and him knowing the hand singals with

1027
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is gonna be big in the red zone

1028
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: for the Jets and then also being able to go

1029
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,439
Speaker 1: down the field on fifty fifty jump balls, which will

1030
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: open things up for Garrett Wilson coming across the middle.

1031
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: McCole Hardman, you hope that he can stay healthy. He's

1032
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: one of the most explosive receivers in football when healthy.

1033
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: That has been as big as issue. Can he stay healthy.

1034
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: So having that speed will also open things up for

1035
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson when he, you know, take those nine R

1036
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: nine routes down the field. Post routes down the field

1037
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,439
Speaker 1: open things up for Garrett Wilson and also the tight ends.

1038
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Conklin, cj Uzama a name to watch out for.

1039
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: Jeremy Rutger was banged up last year. The Jets took

1040
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: him in the third round tight end. I really like

1041
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: him as an aggressive blocker, but also has a nice

1042
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: skill set as a pass catcher. So Aaron Rodgers is

1043
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: going to have more weapons than he had in Green

1044
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: Bay with the New York Jets. With the signing of

1045
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: Lazard and Mikole Harman, if they can really fortify that

1046
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: offensive line, the Jets could have something special. What can

1047
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: be said about the pass rushing contingent Luget. There's rumors

1048
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: out there that Carl Lawson could be a cap casualty. Obviously,

1049
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: the bad Achilles injury never really got to do much

1050
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: in the Jets uniform. They tendered Bryce Huff the restricted

1051
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: free agent at the second round tender level. They got

1052
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson waiting in the wings, the last of their

1053
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: three first round picks last year. Could Carl Lawson get

1054
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: clipped before we get to the fall, No, Chris, He's

1055
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. I've talked to Carl exclusively. I've talked

1056
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: to Solace. Solids already come out and said that he

1057
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: doesn't see a scenario where Carl Lawson is not on

1058
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: the roster. I mean, if you think about what he

1059
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: went through, Chris, and a lot of people don't know this,

1060
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: he had the Achilles injury, he had the surgery, he

1061
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: had to get another surgery after that because he got

1062
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: an infection and he had to do some work to it.

1063
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: So coming off of that and I believe he had

1064
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: seven or eight sex. That's a feat on its own.

1065
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: So you think two years removed from the Achilles, we'll

1066
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,479
Speaker 1: get back to seeing Carl Lawson at his peak level.

1067
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: And even though last year was a high insects, he

1068
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: was still one of the best rushers off the edges

1069
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: as far as creating pressure and quarterback hits and what

1070
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: Robert Solo likes. He likes to have at least four

1071
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: or five defensive ents because he likes to rotate guys.

1072
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: He wants guys to go all out for five to

1073
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: six plays max, and he wants to rotate guys. So

1074
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: will Jermaine Johnson start this year? Probably not because Franklin

1075
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Myers a lot of people don't talk about it. He's

1076
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: an unsung hero on this defense right, probably the best

1077
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: edge guy as far as playing against the run. But

1078
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: it gives you that versatility to rush on the edge

1079
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: and rush inside. So you know, Robert Sala likes to

1080
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of defensive ends. Again, they have

1081
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: to address that defensive tackle positions. John Myers can give

1082
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: you some snaps on passing downs, not on running downs,

1083
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: and so can Michael Clemens, who played really well as

1084
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: a fourth frowned rookie, moving inside on third down and rushing.

1085
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: But they have to address that interior defensive line to

1086
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: keep that deep defensive line because that the way that

1087
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: defense is tailored is for the defensive line to create

1088
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: havoc and then everything everything else is a lot easier

1089
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: for the linebackers in secondary. So they signed also, they

1090
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: just signed us Solomon Thomas. Is he a depth piece

1091
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: for them? Is he just? I mean, I don't know

1092
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be, you know, their top edge rusher.

1093
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: But is he just is he on the roster gonna

1094
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: make it just kind of take reps or do they

1095
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: have more plans for him? Yeah? Last year he was

1096
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: the detackle number four, right, He's more of a road

1097
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: national guy. Great for the locker room, plays extremely hard

1098
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: and if you're Sala, Robert Sala and Joe Douglas, you

1099
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: wanted some familiarity in that room. Not only did you

1100
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: lose Sheldon Rankins, you lost Nathan Shephard, who was your

1101
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: number three d tack on actually started a few games

1102
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: when Sheldon Rankins was hurt. So getting call him solid

1103
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: because I played with him in the forty nine jess nickname.

1104
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Getting him back in the fall was big. He played

1105
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: really well down the stretch for the Jets, but he's

1106
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna be more of a rotational piece. I believe they

1107
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: need to have the draft a starter next to quinnin Williams,

1108
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: or there's a couple of guys out there still Al Woods,

1109
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: poona Ford that they could look at in free agency.

1110
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: And then the Chuck Clark acquisition. I thought it was

1111
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: a shrewd move at safety, got him from the Ravens

1112
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: for a seventh I mean, that's a pretty good deal

1113
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: by Joe Douglas there. Does he just walk right into

1114
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: the starting lineup or is he gonna have some competition.

1115
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,479
Speaker 1: I think you'll have some competition. I think it's gonna

1116
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: be between him and Whitehead. I think the Jets are

1117
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: still searching for another start in safety, But right now

1118
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: I would have to say both of those guys all

1119
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: the starting safety. The good thing about Chuck Clark is

1120
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: he lined up in so many different positions for the

1121
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens last year. They had him at deep safety,

1122
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:08,959
Speaker 1: had him inbox safety, lined up at the nickel, lined

1123
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: up at dime linebackers. So he can do it all and,

1124
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: like you said, Chris, to get him for a seventh

1125
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: round pick, I called Joe Douglas the fleece King, because

1126
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: all his trades somebody ends up getting fleecing, it's not him.

1127
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was great value for a guy who

1128
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: has started the last four or five years for the

1129
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens to bring him into the fold. Joe Douglas

1130
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: probably knows him exclusively from his time at Baltimore, so

1131
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: that was a really big trade and acquisition to get

1132
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: a starting caliber player for a seventh round pick. Yeah,

1133
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, Lejre. Thanks for man, thanks

1134
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: for being on with us. Man, appreciate you. Good luck

1135
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: this season. Hope we crossed paths soon. Definitely, thanks you

1136
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: guys again. All Right, that's leg DuSable, former NFL defensive

1137
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: lineman played for the Bills, played for the Jets, and

1138
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: now working for CBS Sports season analysts of the Jets

1139
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: down there. He's an Emmy Award winning NFL analyst. Good

1140
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: for him, Sports, Yeah, he is good for coming on

1141
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: with this. Yeah. Well, well, we always try to get

1142
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: the info on the rest of the division. We have

1143
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: our go to people. He's one of them. As far

1144
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: as the Jets are concerning here, he's you know, he's

1145
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: texting with Carl Lawson. So I was I'm glad I

1146
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: asked that question because we got a firsthand answer, because

1147
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: there were reports out Carl Lawson could be a cap

1148
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: casualty blah blah blah. I think Karl laws is a

1149
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: really good well, he was a big free agent signing

1150
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: for them, and then he tore his achilles in a

1151
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: joint scrimmage with the Packers. They signed him from Cincinnati,

1152
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: and Carl Lawson is one of those big long guys.

1153
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of length and ling plays with

1154
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: a really great leverage, and which is why I think,

1155
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, snapped his achilles before he ever played a

1156
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: down for him, which was a crusher for them, no question.

1157
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: And then that's why I think too, because of a

1158
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: big contract and the fact that he was injured, a

1159
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: lot of media people and outsiders like, wow, well they can't.

1160
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: He gave him no production. They paid him all that

1161
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: money and not so fast. The guy can really play.

1162
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: So this coming as Biss, like Lejay said, the second

1163
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: four year coming off the achilles, Carl Lawson is going

1164
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: to be a problem for offenses. He's a real problem,

1165
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: right And you know, to me, the Chuck Clark acquisition,

1166
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: that might have been one of the best trades I've

1167
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: seen all offseason. You're getting a veteran safety for a

1168
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: seventh round pick, like Baltimore must have been looking a

1169
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: shed salary. That's the only thing I can think of

1170
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: as to why they move Chuck Clark off their roster.

1171
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they have a first round pick

1172
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: at safety that they got last year, the kid from

1173
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: Notre Dame whose names escaping me right now, the tall,

1174
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: thin kid that is probably going to move into their

1175
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: starting lineup anyway. But I'd like to think you could

1176
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: do a little better than that seventh round pick is

1177
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: all you get for Chuck Clark. Well, sometimes you get

1178
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: into into this and you can't see behind them. You

1179
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: can't see behind it because they don't want to. There

1180
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: are things going on that you can't see either with

1181
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: the coach, with the players, with some buddy that we

1182
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: don't know. All of a sudden, is you know, jumping

1183
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: onto the jumping up into the front, you know, in

1184
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: front of the guy that you think is a great player.

1185
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 1: The team sees it differently than everybody else, So We'll

1186
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: let me just see if I can. I'm with you,

1187
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm finding that guy. What Kyle Hamilton. There you go.

1188
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: That's it. The kid out an odor dance, right. He's

1189
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: probably gonna start for the Ravens anyway. So I understand

1190
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: why he was expendable for the Ravens. I just would

1191
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: have liked to think they could get more than a

1192
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: seventh for him. But there it is. So yes, yeah,

1193
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, and the Jets had a hole at safety,

1194
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, because they had some free agents. You get

1195
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: a starter for a seventh. I think about it. If

1196
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: you draft somebody in the seventh round and they'd end

1197
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: up a starter, that's it's huge. It's a coup. Right.

1198
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: So but LaMarcus Joiner, their veteran safety that they signed

1199
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: last offseason, was a free agent. You know, his play

1200
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: was a little up and down. I'll take Chuck Clark

1201
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: over the LaMarcus Joiner any day of the week. I mean,

1202
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good get for them, that kind

1203
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: of went under the radar. It's gonna make that Jets

1204
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: defense even better than it was last year, which is

1205
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: saying something eight oh three oh five fifty one eight

1206
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty the number to get

Speaker 1: like b John Robinson because I follow Texas football, but

1216
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I also agree that he'll probably not drop as far

1217
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: as the Bills because how good he is. But I

1218
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: would like to see him go to the Bears. I

1219
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: think in number nine he could drop in the Bears

1220
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: and help out Justin Fields tremendously, even more than David Montgomery,

1221
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: because I need Justin. He helps out any Longhorn quarterback,

1222
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: and they have not had a nominal running back in

1223
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: years and years and years. They've had a lot of duds.

1224
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: And he imagine how good he would help out Justin Field.

1225
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: Because I think that's what Justin needs, is someone like

1226
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: him who's way better than what they got now. So

1227
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear what you think about that. About that,

1228
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring it up today. You're talking about

1229
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: more than yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem. Kevin b Jean

1230
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: Robinson to the Bears at nine. Most people have them

1231
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: taking an offensive tackle. I've seen Peter Skroonsky, the Northwestern

1232
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: kid who's right around the corner in Chicago there to

1233
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: the Bears. And they do need offensive line help. I

1234
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: don't think there's any debate about that whatsoever. And they

1235
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: did let David Montgomery get away. He signed with Detroit

1236
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: in free agency, so he's not even there anymore. So

1237
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: I understand the hole that exists there at the running

1238
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: back position, but I just think they have way too

1239
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 1: many other things to address to address running back that

1240
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: early in the dras. They need offensive line help. As

1241
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: I mentioned, they need both any line help into your

1242
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: end tackle offensive line, and they need probably a corner

1243
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: they were two. They don't have enough big bodies up

1244
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: front to win the line is scrimmage and they need that.

1245
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: That's where that'll help justin fields even more than that, Yes,

1246
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 1: that'll help him more than anything. And then yeah, and

1247
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: then it's defensive tackle, deep edge, rusher, cornerback. Often all

1248
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: the money positions except quarterback, and they don't receive and receiver.

1249
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: They need all of that they have. I've been going

1250
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: off on the Bears for a while. They have. They were,

1251
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 1: they're so their payroll was so lacking last year. They

1252
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: have to spend money this year to a certain level

1253
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: to be to quote, to pass the rules for spending

1254
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: the least at least they can to the to the

1255
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: cap floor. Forget the salt recap, the floor of the

1256
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: salary scale. They haven't reached it. Well, they have now

1257
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 1: with everything they did in free agency. They signed Tremaine

1258
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: Edmonds to the giant contract seventeen million a year. They

1259
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: got DJ Moore in the trade to move out of

1260
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: the top spot with Carolina, so they have a number

1261
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: one receiver now. And then they signed t J. Edwards

1262
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 1: out of Philly, not for as much money as Tremaine Edmonds,

1263
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 1: but it was a three year, nineteen and a half

1264
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. That's nothing to sneeze at. And in

1265
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: free agency they signed Deonta Foreman, who did some great

1266
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: stuff in Carolina last year late in the season, to

1267
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,759
Speaker 1: a one year, three million dollar contract, so they'll probably

1268
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: start him in the backfield. Try to beep up their

1269
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: offensive and defensive lines and go from there. And even then,

1270
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: even if they hit home runs in the draft on

1271
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,799
Speaker 1: the offensive and defensive line, they're still gonna be fortunate

1272
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: if they can win seven or eight games. Yeah, they're

1273
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,560
Speaker 1: a long way off. But Ryan Poles, it's only in

1274
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: his second year as GMA that ranchise with Matt Eber

1275
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: fluses his head coach. It's going to be a slow

1276
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: burn to build that thing and build it the right way.

1277
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,839
Speaker 1: The Bears franchise has always been a master at lowering

1278
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: expectations to the point where if they even twitch in

1279
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: a positive way, the Chicago fans are ecstatic. The expectations

1280
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: are so low perennially in Chicago that whenever they can

1281
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: show a pulse they get applauded for it. That's where

1282
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: they live. So that's why you know they don't win

1283
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: that division. They catch lightning in a bottle once in

1284
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: a while, and then they break the bottle to make

1285
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: sure it doesn't happen again. Yeah. So yeah, the Bears

1286
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 1: are right back right in their wheel They're right in

1287
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: their wheelhouse. They're rebuilding around a quarterback in a town

1288
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: where quarterbacks go to die. Yeah, so they're they're woefully,

1289
01:11:54,880 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: they woefully underspend, They make head scratching trade and they struggle.

1290
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: They don't build their team. They've never built their team

1291
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: the right way, at least not long enough to keep

1292
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: it sustainable right double ce. So there, that's basically kind

1293
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: of where it sits with regard to, you know, the

1294
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: chances to be Jean Robinson going to the Bears nine.

1295
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: I think it's very remote, if it should be extremely remote,

1296
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 1: but they'll probably do it because they're the Bear. Because

1297
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: they're the Bears, They're gonna think. They're gonna think if

1298
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 1: they drafted Walter Payton this year that that would solve

1299
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: all of their problems. Give give the fans some player,

1300
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 1: a single player at least that they can cheer four

1301
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: and not worry about whether they win or lose. Let's

1302
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: go back to the fan mailbag and Philip asks, is

1303
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: there a preferred veteran middle linebacker for Buffalo if they

1304
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: don't end up with a top level prospect. Names like

1305
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: Dion Jones, Miles jack Quan Alexander, and Corey Littleton come

1306
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: to mine for me. I believe all of those are

1307
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 1: still out there on the free agent market. Dion Jones

1308
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: has been more of an outside backer than inside. If

1309
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: memory serves now, he did play middle linebacker for the

1310
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 1: Browns last year. I think I have that right, and

1311
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,640
Speaker 1: has played inside in a three four, which is what

1312
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: he was doing in Atlanta his last year there. So

1313
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind Dion Jones. He's only twenty eight years old,

1314
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: still an athlete, so I would sign up for that.

1315
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: I know he's making some free agent visits here and

1316
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: there recently, so you could do a lot worse than

1317
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: Dion Jones. Miles Jack got released, so he's an option.

1318
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 1: He got released by the Steelers, so he was playing

1319
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: in a three four, so we'd have to check to

1320
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: see if the Bills would obviously have to check and

1321
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: see if they believe he's a fit Kwana Alexander super athlete,

1322
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: little light in the pan and a little older now,

1323
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 1: But beggars can't be choosers. You come out of the

1324
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,719
Speaker 1: draft without a linebacker that you think is starting caliber

1325
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,600
Speaker 1: right out of the shoot as a rookie. This is

1326
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the crop you're gonna have to look at. That's right,

1327
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: and it it comes down to obviously comes down to

1328
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: some money. But from what I'm looking at here, and

1329
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is really current, I think

1330
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: it is. H is Lavante David still out there? No, yeah, okay,

1331
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,640
Speaker 1: I want to say he resigned. Yeah, I think he's

1332
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:35,600
Speaker 1: signed somewhere. These guys some of the it's I'm not

1333
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: losing sleep over middle linebacker. I'm just not. Um, Yeah,

1334
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,679
Speaker 1: I don't. Brownie and I both like the top two

1335
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 1: inside linebackers. Mostly we like them because they're big enough

1336
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: to stand up to it. Drew Sanders, Jack Campbell, same

1337
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: name as everybody else has got. After those two guys,

1338
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: everybody it's a lot like this wide receiver class. Yeah,

1339
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: it's thinner, and it's it's a lot of undersized guys

1340
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:11,639
Speaker 1: who are, you know, a little overachievers. These two guys,

1341
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: Campbell and Sanders, they've got a chance to be stand

1342
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: in there and be there for a decade. Everybody else

1343
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a roll of the dice.

1344
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: And it's the same. It's you're gonna get a guy

1345
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: like Miles Jack. While he's got some physical abilities, really

1346
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: fast guy, he bounces around because he's just not big

1347
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: enough to stand up to the run game. So you

1348
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: need a guy in there that can do that. You've

1349
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: got Milano in there, he's that he's one of these guys.

1350
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: He's a two thirty five pound guy who can run

1351
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: and cover, but he's not really gonna come up and

1352
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 1: stuff a guard and the running back in the hole.

1353
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 1: It's not what he's built to do. So that's where

1354
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: you're at. Once you get past those top two guys.

1355
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:00,759
Speaker 1: Get give me any of those other guys right. Corey Littleton,

1356
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 1: by the way, signed with Houston in free agency, so

1357
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 1: he is not available in case you are wondering. So

1358
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 1: he is not one of the options still out there

1359
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: at this point in time. He's found a new home

1360
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: in Houston. We take a break here, but come back

1361
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: with more of your fan mail bag questions next at

1362
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty and on the tweet sheet.

1363
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:22,960

01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we go back to the phones and

1375
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:12,599
Speaker 1: to a Wendel in Buffalo. What do you got first, Windo,

1376
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 1: you're on one Bills Live, Hi, this is one deal.

1377
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: I basically have a question for you, Chris Well. You

1378
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: know years ago Buffalo made a blockbuster trade for a

1379
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs and on offense, I think we all can

1380
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,560
Speaker 1: agree that it was a good move. Well, what do

1381
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: you think about Buffalo making a blockbuster trade on the

1382
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, ask for like a Miles Garrett.

1383
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that will be a smart move and

1384
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: do you think that something like that could happen? I

1385
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:49,600
Speaker 1: don't think it could happen because of the fiscal ramifications.

1386
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett makes gigantic money and you already have a

1387
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: pass rush You're making gigantic money in von Miller on

1388
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: the roster now. So while anybody would sign up for it,

1389
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean Miles Garrett's one of the top three pass

1390
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: rushers in football right now. But the money just doesn't work.

1391
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: And unfortunately that's why it's probably not a feasible option.

1392
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't fantasy football. I know people say

1393
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 1: the cab isn't real, but that can't happen. There's just

1394
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: no way to do it. Plus, you're you're not gonna

1395
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 1: get it done Cleveland. You're gonna have to talk him

1396
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: into it, and you're gonna have to end the price

1397
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,680
Speaker 1: to get Miles Garrett. It's given me all that. You know,

1398
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: that blockbuster deal you made with for Steph Diggs, you

1399
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: might have to give Steph Diggs up in that trade

1400
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: to get Miles Garrett plus plus a draft pick. That

1401
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I'm exagger I don't think that would

1402
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: really happen, but yeah, that's what you're talking about. You

1403
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 1: have to give up something you really, you really love

1404
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 1: to make that deal happen. And plus then you've got

1405
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 1: you got Von Miller and Miles Garrett. Awesome, it's great,

1406
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: but now you don't have a guy like Steph Diggs

1407
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 1: or or or you don't have Gabe Davis and James Cook.

1408
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: You know, you have to give two of those guys

1409
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: or in a two or two twos and those guys.

1410
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 1: You're talking about an absolutely massive haul for the best

1411
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: pass rusher in the game. It would It would be exorbitant.

1412
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 1: So the team that you're trading to make better would

1413
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: actually get a great player in return, but you'd be

1414
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: decimated in other parts of your roster and in your

1415
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 1: draft capital. In my opinion, I think it would be

1416
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: a massive haul, unless you could get Cleveland to do

1417
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: it for less. I mean, you know, I don't know

1418
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: what the parameters of the deal. Would be a really

1419
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: complicated deal because Buffalo would have to think they're getting

1420
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 1: better as a team, and so would Cleveland. What's that

1421
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: look like if you're gonna put Myles Garrett here? Were

1422
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: you going to trade him Vaughan Miller for Miles and

1423
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: throw it in the deal? I mean that you know that,

1424
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: you see, that's what you're talking about. You have to

1425
01:19:55,840 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: give him something onto A much more important question out

1426
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: of the mail bag, Steve's here, John asks, what is

1427
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:08,679
Speaker 1: your Eastern dinner? Haml It's ham, baby ham, scarlet potatoes,

1428
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: cheesy potatoes. Man, we gotta I love those things. We

1429
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 1: got a ham waiting for us, Yeah, and we plus

1430
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if you we have yeah, huge get together.

1431
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah huge, it's yeah. Usually we are on vacation this

1432
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 1: time of year. We're usually getting out of the weather

1433
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: and we're down south. We did it earlier this year.

1434
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: So my wife's family, which is in all of western

1435
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 1: New York, they're all over the place, so like they're

1436
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: all on vacation. Oh, they're left. They left. So it's

1437
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 1: just you guys. It's us and a couple of stragglers

1438
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: kids coming home. Nope, nope, we got a We got

1439
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: the smallest ham we've ever bought. It's tiny. Now here's

1440
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: my next guy to open it with a little key

1441
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: on the side of the cannons. No, it's not even

1442
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 1: a canned one. It's not even a canned one. Um

1443
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 1: so we here's my next question though, Do you do

1444
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 1: you have anything to put on the ham in terms

1445
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 1: of a sauce or enhancer? I would say no, we don't.

1446
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a spicy brown mustard fan. Oh really, yeah,

1447
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: I get it because I put those on hot dogs,

1448
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: and ham is only a few steps removed from I'm

1449
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: kind of yellow mustard is my condiment of choice, not

1450
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 1: the spicy brown Somewhere you're deli mustard. You're yellow Deli mustard. Yes,

1451
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm spicy brown every time one hundred hundred. I almost

1452
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:37,679
Speaker 1: never use Deli mustard. I will only use yellow Deli

1453
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: mustard in the absence of spicy brown must See. I'm

1454
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 1: I'm way. I'm a mustard guy, not a ketchup guy. Yeah,

1455
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: oh that's fine. I find that anyone under the age

1456
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 1: of thirty does not use mustard. I don't know what happened,

1457
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: but we got to generation what is that the millennials

1458
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: or is that Generation Z? I'm not sure. I think

1459
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: it's but it's like mustard is their mortal enemy. Nobody

1460
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 1: uses mustard. I don't know what happened. Where did we lose?

1461
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: They'll grow into it. It's like mustard when I was young.

1462
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 1: It's like when I was a teenager, I put it

1463
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: on a hot pretzel. See, I'm a mustard on hot

1464
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: dog guy, as am I and all all my younger genera.

1465
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 1: Of course, all the grandkids. They put ketchup on everything.

1466
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 1: But yes, they're ketchup people. Well I am a I

1467
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,560
Speaker 1: am a major ketchup person. But when it comes to

1468
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 1: a hot dog, what's right is right? Like Mustard's got

1469
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 1: a morality issue and a hot pretzel. I'm putting spicy

1470
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: brown mustard on that. Yeah. Um, A lot of Delhi

1471
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 1: sandwiches spicy brown mustard. You know that's that's just the

1472
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: way it rolls. Yeah, that's same with me. Ketchup is

1473
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: for burgers, you know that kind of I am a

1474
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 1: ketchup on my burgard with mustard too, though. You double

1475
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: it up, yeah I do. That's a big New England thing,

1476
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 1: ketchup and mustard burger. Yeah. So here's the thing. Growing

1477
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: up in the New York metropolitan area. You go to

1478
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: a fast food burger joint and they give you a

1479
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: square to ketch up on the burger. You get automatically, right.

1480
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: You get up in New England and you go to

1481
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: those same burger chains. They put ketchup and mustard on

1482
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 1: the burg when you get it. They have corporate standards

1483
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 1: they change. I wonder where the demarcation line. I want

1484
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: to say, it's like halfway through Connecticut. Yeah, okay, and

1485
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you're just like, WHOA, wasn't

1486
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: expecting that interesting? Yeah, it's like a regional but that's

1487
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:39,639
Speaker 1: yeah big it is. Uh yeah, the Easter holiday, Yeah,

1488
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 1: I think it's like it's almost like turkey and staving. Yeah,

1489
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: it's a staple. Uh, it's a staple. Yeah. So there's that. Uh.

1490
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Ehorst asks somehow all my bills buddies let me get

1491
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: married on April thirtieth. So for ten years I have

1492
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,799
Speaker 1: had to record the draft and abstain from all forms

1493
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: of social media for three to four days as my

1494
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: bride and I mark your anniversary by traveling somewhere nice.

1495
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 1: What was I thinking, Well, clearly you weren't thinking you've

1496
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: answered your own question. He horsed, you weren't, and it

1497
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 1: was a fateful error in your in your planning. One

1498
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: of the one of the brilliant moves I made in

1499
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: my life was marrying my wife on her birthday. Oh,

1500
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: pretty hard to forget your anniversary. Double the penalty if

1501
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: you don't if you do, but nevertheless hid right. But

1502
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: because it's kind of a deal where it's anniversary slash

1503
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,840
Speaker 1: birthday on the same day, it was a brilliant move,

1504
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: I thought, and it has turned out to be yeah,

1505
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 1: a long lasting. That's pretty interesting. I would suggest I

1506
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: would submit this e Horst and see if you can

1507
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: pull this one off. Um, you say you mark your

1508
01:24:55,040 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 1: anniversary by traveling somewhere nice. The next time the drafts

1509
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, you might be able to swing that.

1510
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: Go to Kansas City for your jest and then play dumb,

1511
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: and then play dumb, and just you know, Kansas City

1512
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 1: is probably not a destination you can convince her to

1513
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 1: go to. But Vegas. The next time the draft is

1514
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, you say, hey, honey, let's go on

1515
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 1: a trip to Vegas. It'll be fine. Oh, Kansas look

1516
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: at that, the drafts here. I had no idea say

1517
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 1: this though, Kansas City. I'm from out there, not Kansas City.

1518
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:32,520
Speaker 1: At the state Kansas. Kansas City's worth visiting the Plaza Westport,

1519
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: go to a Royals game. Good eating the barbecue is fantastic. Yeah,

1520
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: you could, You could swing that. And in fact, you

1521
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 1: start now, start planning, start now, and I could tell

1522
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: you maybe in five years you could have evolved into

1523
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: a point where it's a yearly trip to the draft

1524
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 1: rather than somewhere else, somewhere else. Yeah, you gotta start,

1525
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:58,600
Speaker 1: You gotta lay groundwork. And it's you have to do

1526
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 1: far more planning than you did for your wedding. Den right,

1527
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 1: And it's yes, and it's absolutely an evolution. It's not

1528
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 1: going to just happen overnight. But if your wife, if

1529
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: you can start making it, laying the ground working, you

1530
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 1: can do it the proper way. I'm thinking in half

1531
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: a decade it could be an annual trip to the

1532
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: NFL Draft and there you've won in a big way.

1533
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: In all right, we gotta take a negative into a

1534
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: that's right, we gotta take a break here, But more

1535
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: final questions from the obil fan mail bag. Next here

1536
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's

1537
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, back here on One Bills

1538
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: Live for one final segment. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

1539
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 1: and the fan mailbag remains open for a few more minutes,

1540
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: and the next question comes from Justin who says, what

1541
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 1: do you guys think we need to do to get

1542
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 1: over this hump? We've proven in the regular season that

1543
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: we can beat Casey Baltimore of the Rams, etc. But

1544
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: we can't get it done in the playoffs. What say you?

1545
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: Because I'm not getting any younger, Steve, I believe this

1546
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 1: is where you lay out your dissertation that you've laid

1547
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: out a half dozen times before. They are good enough

1548
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:17,680
Speaker 1: to win it. But what do they have to do

1549
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? You got to play good on that day.

1550
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 1: There it is. You got to play good on the

1551
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: play they you play him in the playoffs, you play

1552
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 1: good in the regular season, You're good enough to do it.

1553
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 1: You're good enough to beat them even when they play well.

1554
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: You're good enough to beat them when you play your game.

1555
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 1: The Bills are good enough. Now, there is no there

1556
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 1: is no let me say it again, there is no

1557
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 1: magic elickser that is going to put the Bills over

1558
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 1: the hump. They have been They are and have been

1559
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: good enough for three years to go to and win

1560
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But you got to play well on

1561
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 1: the day you line up. It's going to be a

1562
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: different team, different roster this year. There's always changes that happen.

1563
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: But you got Brandon Bean, you got Sean McDermott, Josh Allen,

1564
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, Von mil you got this whole crew of

1565
01:27:57,920 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be really, really good at

1566
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 1: this year. The key is when the playoffs hit and

1567
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 1: the chips are on the line, do you have the

1568
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: guys in the mentality to step up and play your

1569
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: best in that moment? Yeah, that's the magic elixir. That's

1570
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 1: your answer, Jake. Last one in the mailbag, how would

1571
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,640
Speaker 1: you guys feel about the Bills trading back to the

1572
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: mid to late thirties game an extra four or five

1573
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 1: and take one of my two favorite linebackers, Jack Campbell

1574
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 1: or Drew Sanders can always grab an offensive tackle like

1575
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 1: bergeron mock Duncan and or Bill to fit like Blake

1576
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 1: Freeland later on. I'm in favor of that, provided there

1577
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 1: isn't value at two positions. If there isn't value at

1578
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: receiver at twenty seven and there isn't value at offensive

1579
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 1: tackle at twenty seven, I'm all for getting out and

1580
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 1: going and getting the linebacker a little further back in

1581
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,839
Speaker 1: round two. And as I said on the air yesterday

1582
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: or earlier this week, Drew Sanders is my guy. I

1583
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:49,600
Speaker 1: know a lot of people like Jack Campbell. I'd be

1584
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:51,640
Speaker 1: happy with that too. And Steve and I have been

1585
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: looking at tape on tackles this week try to catch up.

1586
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: We like Duncan. I like Duncan a lot. I think

1587
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: that kid's got a high ceiling at Maryland. Jalen Duncan.

1588
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: I think it could be a good pick for the

1589
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: billy guy Darnell Wright is coming in for a visit tomorrow. Yeah,

1590
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: he's around one guy. I think it's tomorrow and he's

1591
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 1: around one guy. So if he's there, all four taking him,

1592
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 1: take him at one and whatever. Yeah, so it'll be interesting.

1593
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 1: We'll see. We are off tomorrow. We will see you

1594
