17
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: we both had let's just say, some interesting weekends.

18
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: Mattie, easy weekends.

19
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: So let's kick it off with Saturday, which looked a

20
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: little dicey for a while for you because you're down

21
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: in the Elmwood village and you had porch Fest going on.

22
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: Maybe just explain first what that is to those that

23
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: may not know.

24
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: So Porch Fest is so much fun. This was my

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: second time going and I.

26
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: Look forward to it every spring, summer, whatever you want

27
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: to call this time.

28
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: I guess it's really spring in Buffalo because it got

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: cold on Saturday night, so it was during the day.

30
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: On set Saturday, you can if you have a porch

31
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: in front of your house or a nice patch of

32
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: grass in front of your house, you can put in

33
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: to have a band play on your porch, so they

34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: call it porch Fest. It's all across Elmwood Villages and

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: then also restaurants and shops can also have bands play

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: in front of their stores, and you kind of just

37
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: walk around the neighborhood and you go see from.

38
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: Band to band to band to band.

39
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: So we kind of hop around the entire neighborhood watching

40
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 3: bands play. And we have a friend who also works

41
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: for the Bills, who plays in a band and we

42
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: love going to see him play.

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: But it was raining on Saturday morning.

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: Bands started I think around noon, so we didn't really

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: get out of the house until three when the rain stopped.

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: So we went to two bands and then by the

47
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: time the second band ended, it was about six o'clock

48
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 3: and I was thinking to myself, I could use a

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 3: winter jacket right now.

50
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: It got really cold on Saturday night.

51
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of people who were out and

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: about kind of thought that as well, because the sun

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: started to peek out a little bit and in the

54
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: late afternoon I was like, Okay, this is not too bad.

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: It's in the fifties, but the sun's out. It's it's good.

56
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 3: And then the sun went away and it was pretty

57
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: pretty cold, but fun day.

58
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: I have a question about Porchest, having never attended. Are

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: the bands far enough away from one another where there

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: isn't like bleed over from one to the other. How

61
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: did they?

62
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: Yes and no, Yes and no.

63
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: So last year we went to I can't remember what

64
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: street it was, but we were on a street that

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: had two bands playing across the street from each other,

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: so like like fifty feet away from each other, and

67
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: you could hear both bands depending on where you were standing.

68
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: If you're in the street, you could hear both. If

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: you're near one of the houses, you can mostly hear

70
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: that band. But for the most part, it's far enough

71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: away from each other to where people are bleeding into

72
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,559
Speaker 3: each other. The sound of the bands aren't clash, but

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: it happens. Yeah, it's a fun time. Everybody's out. And

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: about last year it was incredible weather. This year not

75
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: so much. But by the time we got out in

76
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: the afternoon, there were a lot of people walking around.

77
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the weather turned late afternoon, thankfully, because it

78
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: was a soaker for a while there Saturday morning. I mean,

79
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: like I was just come up. I know, it hadn't

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: rained in two weeks, so we really can't complain. But

81
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: that was a soaker for sure. And then on Sunday

82
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: you got much better weather, thankfully when you were out

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: at the final round of the PGA.

84
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was out at the last day of the

85
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: PGA Championship in Rochester, which has been fun to be out.

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: I was out there on.

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: Tuesday for an event that a few of our players

88
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 3: were a part of. I know a lot of people

89
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: were out there on Saturday and had to bear and

90
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: be in that rain.

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: So kudos to all you guys who were.

92
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: Out there on Saturday and still had a fun day.

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: I saw a lot of pictures of people running through

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: the mud and sliding through the mud, and in p

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: shows and you know, doing it being out there in

96
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: the wild, in the rain and still having a great time.

97
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: We got blessed with some incredible weather on Sunday and

98
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: spent the entire day out there. So had an early

99
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: morning and got to the course at like eight in

100
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: the morning, so right before right when everybody started to

101
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: tee off and got to kind of follow a few players,

102
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: didn't really follow too many guys. We had a kind

103
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: of a club that we were sitting in, so watched

104
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: a lot of guys come through on six there, and

105
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: then walked a little bit around four, five and six

106
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: in the afternoon, and then once the leaders started to

107
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: come through, because there are two times, were in the

108
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: afternoon around two o'clock two thirty, so we kind of followed.

109
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: We had a friend with us who is a big

110
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 3: fan of Brooks Koepka, and so we started to follow

111
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: Brooks for the last few holes, which Brooks won it all.

112
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 3: So it was fun to be with our friend who

113
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: loves Brooks Kopka and got to see his reaction of

114
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 3: Brooks winning it all. But there were so many people

115
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: there and I'm sure everybody listening as well. Thought, you know,

116
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: you've got so many friends out here. You've got so

117
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: many people you know out here. We were running into

118
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: a lot of people, ran into Eric Wood, ran into

119
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: a bunch of.

120
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 2: People who worked for the Bills or the Sabers.

121
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: So it was just a wonderful Sunday afternoon to be

122
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: out in a beautiful place. Oak Hill did a fantastic

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: job with the tournament. It was so fun seeing some

124
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: Bills shirt some jerseys in the crowd as well on

125
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: fifteen when Brooks I think Brooks was on fifteen at

126
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: this point, but we kind of hung out at fifteen

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: for a while, watched some groups go through and there

128
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: was a hey that broke out and somebody was like,

129
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: come on, guys, we're better than this.

130
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: It was like, no, let them have it. Nobody's nobody's

131
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: golfing right now.

132
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: This is pure Western New York goodness that some people

133
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 3: are experiencing. Who came in from out of town to

134
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: watch this tournament and to get to be a part

135
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: of everything going on. Oh Man, Michael Block, that story

136
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: was fantastic.

137
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: It was.

138
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: It was so fun to follow a guy like that,

139
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: a club pro who who qualified for this tournament. It

140
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: was his fifth PGA and he's never made the weekend before.

141
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: He was one of twenty club pros to be a

142
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: part of the tournament, but he was the only one

143
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 3: to make the thirty six hole cut and he hold

144
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: it in on fifteen. I think it was from like

145
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty one hundred and fifty one yards out.

146
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: One of my friends was at the hole.

147
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: I know a lot of Bill's people were at this

148
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: hole because that was another area that we had some

149
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: passes for, and they said it was an incredible experience

150
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: watching that happen. It was so cool to see a

151
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: guy like this, just a club pro from California. The

152
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: video that came out on Saturday, he was paired with

153
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: Justin Rose on Saturday Sunday finds out or Saturday night

154
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: finds out he's gonna be paired with Rory McElroy. That

155
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: video came out and kind of went viral on social media.

156
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: He was all excited to be paired with a golfer

157
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: like Rory and then went out and had a hole

158
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: in one on fifteen. On the final day, he finishes

159
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: in the top fifteen, so this locks him in for

160
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: next year. He made over three hundred thousand dollars finishing

161
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: the top fifteen fifteen. The most money that he's made

162
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: next to that is seventy five K. So this was

163
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: a big weekend for him. I mean a lot of

164
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: people probably saw the interviews that he did after he

165
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: was in tears.

166
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: I would be too.

167
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: The sport means so much to him and these are

168
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: the stories that I absolutely love as a sports fan.

169
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: Getting to see something like this come together.

170
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: You know, believe he hit it like he was if

171
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: you saw the video.

172
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: Run and the people making the call didn't know it either.

173
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: There is one of the one of the analysts was like,

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: I don't think it went in. The others like, yeah,

175
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 3: that's in. Yeah, dunked it in on fifteen.

176
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: So you have only seen that like one other time ever.

177
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: That is like super and for somebody shot and for

178
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: somebody like him to be able to do that, I mean,

179
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: he got a lot of one of us, one of us.

180
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: And a lot of people are just cheering Black Block.

181
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: The coolest social video I saw on the heels of that,

182
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: somebody had video footage of his club where they were

183
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: all watching him at the bar. Yeah, that was watched

184
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: people like Bills pas Bar on a Sunday, like on

185
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: a game winning play, the shot goes down and the

186
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: whole place erupts, like for a minute and a half,

187
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: they're like jump. I mean they probably had a few

188
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: in him. Yeah, they were rolling.

189
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: He was tied for eighth going into the final day

190
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 3: and and because of that.

191
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: He qualifies for the PGA Championships, so he gets play

192
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: next year.

193
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: He gets play next year since he finished top top fifteen,

194
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: that locks him into next year. And then after the

195
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: tournament was over, after he finished his day, a lot

196
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: of celebration. I mean, he was right next to Brooks

197
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: as Brooks was getting awarded, and then they were letting

198
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 3: him know he was the winner, and everybody's you know,

199
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 3: crowd eighteen and celebrating, and Michael Block was right there

200
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 3: next to him and was doing interviews as well, and

201
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: people were cheering for him. So that I don't know,

202
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: as a sports fan.

203
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 2: You just I love stories like that. It's easy to

204
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: root for the underdog. It was so cool.

205
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: And then afterward he got a call from I don't

206
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: know who exactly it was, but he got a call

207
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 3: from somebody running next week's PGA Tour event in Texas.

208
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: It's the Charles Schwab Challenge, So he got a call

209
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: to be invited out to that.

210
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: He also got invited to the RBC Canadian Open, So

211
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: he's like the soup d jure right now.

212
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm I'm a Michael Block fan now for now?

213
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: So who is it?

214
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: Who is it?

215
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: That one in a million shots?

216
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: So that was a really fun story throughout the weekend

217
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: for everybody who was following, for everybody who is there

218
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: to get to witness something like that, how can you

219
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: not cheer for him?

220
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

221
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: That was really cool. So my weekend wasn't as action

222
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: packed as yours was, as we told you on from show.

223
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: You know, Maddy had this packed weekend Porchfast followed by

224
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: PGA Championship. I had a meat raffle Friday night, which

225
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: is really a Buffalo institution if you think about it.

226
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: This one was for Literacy Buffalo Niagara. Great cause my

227
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: wife's on the board. So we've got a table and

228
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: so you know, we've got some friends with us and

229
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: we're all ready to roll and we are not doing well.

230
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: We you know, we're buying tickets and was it?

231
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: Was it a busy meat raffle? Like do you think

232
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: you guys weren't doing well?

233
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: Because there were a lot of people at that meat

234
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: raffle or just hockey.

235
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: If I had to guess, there were probably two hundred

236
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: people there.

237
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: That's pretty much pretty big.

238
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, about twenty tables to ten people. So it was hoppin'.

239
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean it was a hop in place. We had

240
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: this group next to us. They have the sticks with

241
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: clips on the end to hold up their money for

242
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: each round to buy a ticket, and they've got rubber

243
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: dog toys on them with like a a rubber steak.

244
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: They've got a rubber pig, a rubber chicken. Like these

245
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: people are like they're on the meat raff they're on

246
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: the circuit. So I probably should have taken more notes

247
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: from Le tour judiciousness in buying tickets. But anyway, we

248
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: are getting skunked. Our table hasn't won a thing, and

249
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: we're about halfway through the thing and they take a

250
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: break and that's when they announced door prizes. So they

251
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: had like four or five baskets kind of like the

252
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: kind you'd see at a basket raffle. And we had,

253
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, bought a sheet of tickets and we threw

254
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: some stuff in there, not thinking anything of it. And

255
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: so our table has we have won nothing to this point.

256
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: So they do the door prizes bing. Our number hits,

257
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: so my wife's all excited. She goes run enough to

258
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: grab it. What did we win? No, we win the

259
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: bills basket round the bill's baskets. So now people are

260
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: laughing because they're like, of all the things you won,

261
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: you want a bill's bad, which was great, I mean,

262
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: don't get me. We were happy to win because it

263
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: included two tickets too, to a game that was really cool. Well,

264
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: we're always you know, we're always getting asked and sometimes

265
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: sometimes we let people use our tickets, but you know,

266
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: it's they're in demand now, so having an extra pair

267
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: is helpful. But in any event, that's what we won.

268
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: And then my brother and sister in law were late.

269
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: So we're about halfway through this thing and my brother

270
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: and sister in law show up and again the root

271
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: the table has been skunked. We haven't won a we

272
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: haven't won a piece of bacon, we've won nothing. They

273
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: sit down, they buy their first set of tickets for

274
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: around like eight bing. They hit right, and so we're like, unbelievable.

275
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: They just got here and they won something. So they

276
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: go up, they collect their thing. But that was the key.

277
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: It got us on a hot streak. And I would

278
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: say before the night was over, three other people at

279
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: our table had won. So that made me feel better

280
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: because you know, you're you're inviting people to come, hey,

281
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: have fun at the meat rapp you don't win anything.

282
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of tough. Yeah, so I think almost everybody

283
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: won something, so and those are fun. It's a couple

284
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: of Bill's hats, a couple of bills sweatry. It was

285
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: pretty funny though, I like, I was like, which one

286
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: did we get?

287
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: And she comes back he got the bills bag.

288
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: It was hilarious, but it was a good time. We

289
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun, so that was good. And

290
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: the irony of that was was kind of funny. I

291
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: don't have I don't know what it is. I don't

292
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of luck at meat raffles because I

293
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: told you the other one I went to was a

294
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: stick of pepperoni. I gotta I was happy though. One

295
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: of our guys at the table, you want a gigantic

296
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: pork loin the thing is like he said he's gonna

297
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: cook it up for July fourth because he always hosts

298
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: on July fourth, So that was good, But yeah, it

299
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: was a good time. I just had to laugh at

300
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: that and had to bring in the that was pretty funny.

301
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: OT a week it is, and we will get into

302
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: what our topic of discussion is because now is the

303
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: time where we start thinking about the roster a little

304
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: bit more. But is the roster set in stone? I

305
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: think we all know the answer to that is no.

306
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: And I think we also know that Brandon Bean is

307
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: a tinkerer. He is always trying to massage the roster,

308
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: even when the popular times on the calendar to adjust

309
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: your roster free agency draft are long gone. He's always

310
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: talking about that. Even when we have him for the

311
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: pre draft press conferences, Mattie, he says, just because the

312
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: draft is over doesn't mean the roster set. He's always

313
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: trying to tinker and make things a little bit better.

314
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: So we thought with OTA's starting up, it was apropos

315
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: to ask you, what position in your mind do you

316
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: think still might need a little bit of tweaking and

317
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: tell us why. Eight oh three five fifty the number

318
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: to get on board one eight eight eight five point

319
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: fifty two five point fifty the toll free calling number

320
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: if you're outside the seven one six calling area, because

321
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: we've seen Bean do this like many sometimes June, but

322
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: even like right before training camp, during training camp, during

323
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: the preseason games, and then even after final cuts. You know,

324
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: some other team clips a guy that you had your

325
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: eye on, maybe back in May, and you didn't get them.

326
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, we're kind of asking you,

327
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: if you're the GM, if you're Brandon Bean for a day,

328
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: what position might you want to tweak a little bit,

329
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: So you guys chew on that for a while, and

330
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Maddy and I'll get our thoughts on that as well,

331
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: probably in the second segment, because it's time for us

332
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: to go around the NFL, which is brought to you

333
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: by Colida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

334
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: We have more current news, but I think we would

335
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: be remiss, Maddie if we didn't at least mention that

336
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: over the weekend we saw the passing of maybe one

337
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: of the best players in the history of the game,

338
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: Jim Brown, passing away over the weekend at age eighty seven,

339
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: obviously a Hall of Famer and considered even now one

340
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: of the best players to ever play the game. Yes,

341
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: he retired early to take on a movie career. I

342
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: guess if he played his full career, he'd be his

343
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: numbers would be even more breathtaking because nobody beat his

344
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: rushing record, which was set back in the late sixties

345
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: until Walter Payton did it in the mid eighties. I mean,

346
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: it took a full generation of players, and Walter Payton,

347
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: who's my favorite player of all time, had to play

348
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: like six more seasons than Jim Brown to rack up

349
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: the same rushing totals. So just an amazing, amazing player,

350
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: an amazing athlete, and the fact that he is a

351
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: Long Island native. Maddie I was made aware of who

352
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Jim Brown was at a very early age. And as

353
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, my high school played against his

354
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: high school. Oh yeah, so just a really cool thing.

355
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: So playing high school basketball, I played in the same

356
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: gym that he played in his number is up on

357
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: the wall his basketball jersey's retired. And then playing lacrosse

358
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: in the spring, I played on the same lacrosse field

359
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: as Jim Brown. And the only reason I knew that

360
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: was right at midfield, just off the sideline, there is

361
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: this giant bust of Jim Brown at Manhasset High School

362
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: on Long Island because a lot of people on Long

363
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: Island will tell you that Jim Brown was an even

364
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: better lacrosse player than he was a football player. Just

365
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: completely unstoppable guy on the lacrosse field. I mean, at

366
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: six three, two hundred and fifty pounds, like, you really

367
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: can't check the guy, keep him from scoring. He just

368
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: bowls you over and goes in and scores. Because I

369
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: think if memory service, he did play some lacrosse at

370
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Syracuse as well in addition to playing football. But yeah,

371
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: just an absolute legend and a big time social activist

372
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: too through the sixties there, you know, with civil rights

373
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: and everything. He was a big backer Muhammad Ali.

374
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: Yep.

375
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, just an unfortunate loss. But that's a pretty

376
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good life. Eighty seven, I know, I'll

377
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: be happy. Yeah.

378
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: I saw a picture that got tweeted out of him

379
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 3: and Muhammad Ali going for a run together. And when

380
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: you see two big name people like that, and it's

381
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: just a moment frozen in time.

382
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: I thought that was so cool to be around.

383
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: People like that, To to be as big of a

384
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: name as somebody like Muhammad Ali, to to be involved

385
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 3: in some of the things that Muhammad Ali was and

386
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 3: and the activism side of things. You know, that's what

387
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: you want to you want to get remembered for things

388
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 3: like that. Of course, he had an incredible NFL career

389
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: and has some crazy numbers from the years that he

390
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 3: played with the Browns. But to be remembered and to

391
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: have your legend or your name live on for things

392
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: other than football, I think is always so cool.

393
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. And he was a big backer, Muhammad Ali when

394
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: he was you know, trying to avoid getting you know,

395
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: going into the draft for Vietnam. So yeah, I mean

396
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: did as much off the field as he did on

397
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: and continued that well into his eighties. So yeah, a

398
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: life well lived for sure. As they say other stuff,

399
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: we have owners' meetings going on right now as we

400
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: speak up in Minnesota, and among the things that are

401
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: going to be decided at the spring league meeting today

402
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: and tomorrow, they're going to decide on a new rule,

403
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: Mattie that would place all kickoff fair catches at the

404
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: twenty five yard line. That doesn't happen terribly often, but

405
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: if it does, they're going to treat it like a

406
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: touchback on a kickoff, put it at the twenty five,

407
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: which would kind of remove if you think about it,

408
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: because you saw the Bills do this last year, Maddie.

409
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: They would have Tyler Bass kick the kick short on purpose,

410
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: force them to field it because they had so much

411
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: confidence in their coverage team they thought they could make

412
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: the before the twenty five yard line. So if you

413
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: can get a give the opponent, you know, a lesser drive, start,

414
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: go ahead and do it. This would kind of eliminate

415
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: that because if you're popping it up short fair catch,

416
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: just wave their hand for a fair catch and they

417
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: get it at the twenty five no questions ask I

418
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: understand that's a safety measure. You're taking more hits out

419
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: of the game. I guess the way around that for

420
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: special teams coaches would be to just squib it along

421
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: the ground. Can't fair catch a kick on the ground,

422
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: so that would be the workaround. I guess if you're

423
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: a special teams coordinator out there, can Thursday night games

424
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: be flexed late in the season. That'll be voted on

425
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: the location of the twenty twenty five NFL Draft. We

426
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: know next year's draft's going to be in Detroit, and

427
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: then the location of Super Bowl sixty, which according to reports,

428
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: looks like it's going to be San Francisco Levi Stadium

429
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: fourth consecutive year, though, Maddie, the proposed alternatives to the

430
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: on side's kick are tabled again. They're not going to

431
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: vote on it. They want to talk about it more.

432
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: This has been going on for like three or four

433
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: years now. This is the whole fourth and fifteen option

434
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: or fourth and twenty option. You know, you score, you're

435
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: trying to get back in the game. Instead of an

436
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: on SITEES kick, do you get the option to do

437
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: a fourth and fifteen play and then if you get

438
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: the first down you keep the ball. I guess they

439
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: want to talk about it more. I don't know what

440
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: else needs to be discussed, because you have to believe

441
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: the Competition Committee has researched this thoroughly. You know, they

442
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: always worry about unintended consequences and all of that stuff,

443
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: and I totally get all that. I just wonder if

444
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: it's ever going to come to a vote. They can't

445
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: even get to the table to vote.

446
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: On it, I know, and they do it.

447
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: I mean, you've seen it play out and you've seen

448
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: it exist in the XFL.

449
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: So it to have new rules.

450
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: Or to have whether it's ideas or whatever you want

451
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: to call it, of different versions of scenarios and how

452
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: it could play out different Currently in the XFL, is

453
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: the perfect starter, the perfect conversation starter, the perfect example

454
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 3: of Hey, is this going to work? Is this not

455
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: going to work? I think players think it is a

456
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 3: good idea. Depending on who you talk to, maybe some

457
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: prefer an on side kick over fourth and fifteen over

458
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: fourth and twenty. Certainly it would make it a little

459
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 3: bit more interesting. I think that'd be cool in the NFL.

460
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think if you know the offense has

461
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: that choice after scoring, you know they're trying to get

462
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: back in the game. Yeah, and the on side's kick

463
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: is just even less successful than it used to be

464
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: because you can't do the running start to run up

465
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: to the line anymore. You got to stand at the

466
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on the kickoff. So that makes on

467
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: side kicks even more difficult to recover by the kicking team.

468
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought it would get more merit. I

469
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: thought it would at least get to a vote this year,

470
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: but that apparently is not going to happen. ESPN dot

471
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: Com is report hoarding that in the wake of five

472
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: players being suspended back in April for illegal gambling. The

473
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: NFL is now investigating a second wave of potential violations

474
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: of its gambling policy that according to ESPN, no players

475
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: or coaches or NFL personnel have been named, but they

476
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: are saying, I mean, we know to this point seven

477
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: NFL players, one assistant coach, and an undisclosed number of

478
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: team employees have been found to violate the policy over

479
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: the past few years. So now there's an investigation as

480
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: to whether or not there were more or not and

481
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: the reason why. And I kind of knew about this matting,

482
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: but not in depth. They have these companies like US Integrity,

483
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: They've partnered with the NFL, and they have these platforms

484
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: that can track bets being placed by prohibited individuals because

485
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: for the players.

486
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 2: And where being placed, right, so.

487
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: The players can't do it on NFL prop at their

488
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: team facilities things like that. That's how Jamison Williams from

489
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: the Lions got caught on that because he bet while

490
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: he was at the team facility. Calvin Ridley bet out

491
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: of state, which was illegal because of where he was

492
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: and what he was betting for, like he was in

493
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: He's from Georgia because he was playing for the Falcons

494
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: at the time, and then bet out of state in Florida,

495
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: which I don't think had gambling approved yet a couple

496
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: of years ago, and he got caught that way. But yeah,

497
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see what this investigation uncovers.

498
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: There are other people that could be in trouble here. Yeah,

499
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad if it's players.

500
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 3: It's a sticky situation. It's you know, I understand it.

501
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: But it's also interesting to see states roll out with

502
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: new laws and things like that, and then you know,

503
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 3: down down the line in the future, in the next

504
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: I don't know how many years, but things are going

505
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: to continue to change and how do players fit into that,

506
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: How do coaches fit into that?

507
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: How to staff members fit into all of that.

508
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. We don't know much right now, but

509
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: that's what ESPN is reporting. We'll see what they uncover,

510
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: if and when names are mentioned in terms of gambling violations.

511
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: We also have the Mackai Becton story, and this is

512
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: interesting for two reasons. First, Mackai Becton, we were just

513
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: talking Eric Allen last week, the Jets dot Com reporter,

514
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: and he was telling us Becton is in great shape.

515
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: He's down to like three hundred and forty two pounds,

516
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: which is the lightest he's been probably in about six years.

517
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: He's on this new regimen to stay in shape. Wants

518
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: to come back and be a success. But then he

519
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: sits down with Bob Glauber from Newsday and spills his

520
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: guts about what's happened the last two years and basically

521
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: blames the Jets coaching staff for the injury that cost

522
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: him last season. He basically claimed that he was told

523
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: that putting him at right tackle was what was going

524
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: to happen, and he had to play there even though

525
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: he had a bad injury in his right knee, which

526
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: if you're playing right tackle, that's your kickback leg in

527
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: pass protection, which is a lot more difficult if you

528
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: have a right knee injury. So he claims that being

529
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: forced to play over there made his knee injury worse

530
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: to the point where he needed season ending surgery. He

531
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: said his complaints were dismissed by the coaching staff. He

532
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: had been limping around during practices and even while he

533
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: was trying to play right tackle with the bad knee.

534
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: He said his knee buckled at one point, requiring the

535
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: reconstructive surgery that cost him the season. He's played in

536
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: one game over the last thirty four the past two

537
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: seasons by the Jets. And I don't know about you, Maddie,

538
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: but if you're the Jets and you're reading this, how

539
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: many chances this phrase? The relationship? Done it?

540
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: And a couple weeks ago he was tweeting that he

541
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: was a left tackle, which, okay, if you're tweeting your

542
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: left tackle, then go out and compete for that or

543
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: go out and do that. That's basically what coach Sala

544
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 3: said when he was asked about it in media availability.

545
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: You know, Mackay has expressed that he wants to be

546
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 3: a left tackle.

547
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: What what do you have to say to that?

548
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 3: And he said, go earn your spot then if that's

549
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 3: where you want to play, go earn it right.

550
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: And that's and that's all well and good. But now

551
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: seeing what happened last year and being forced to play

552
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: right tackle, now you know why he's putting it out there. Hey,

553
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: I want to play left tackle, and not for nothing.

554
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Bob Blobber, who's an excellent reporter,

555
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: has covered the Jets for a long time. If he

556
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: saw that tweet by McKay and said, let me talk

557
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: to him, let me see what's up. And this is

558
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: the result of me after the pod. The problem is

559
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: now MacKaye is out there blaming a coaching staff that,

560
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: at least as far as I can tell, is still intact.

561
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line coach is still there because

562
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: that was Sala's first year or second year, and I

563
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: don't think he made a coaching change there. So now

564
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: you've got the same coaching staff that Beckton's got to

565
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: work with again that he publicly complained about him and

566
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: blames for his injury. To me, that's afraid relationship there,

567
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: which makes this very interesting, Maddie. According to reports, former

568
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: Patriots offensive tackle Yodney Kazust is visiting the Jets today

569
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: and the Giants tomorrow. Does he get to the Giants

570
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: on Tuesday? I don't know if he does. The Patriots

571
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: just cut him last week due to what they felt

572
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: was a surplus at that position, so they cut him free.

573
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: Cajus was the guy that actually played against the Bills

574
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: in that. Was that a Sunday night game or a

575
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: Monday night game? Up there? I can't remember now last season,

576
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: the one they won twenty four to ten. I think

577
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: it was. It was a Sunday night game. I think

578
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The point is he's not on the Patriots anymore.

579
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: The Jets are going to have him in for a visit,

580
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: kick the tires on him, decide what they want to decide.

581
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: But with the Becton complaints, you know in the publications today,

582
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: you've got cojuice coming in. I'm just wondering if the

583
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: other shoe drops here and Makai Becton's looking for a job,

584
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: because that's a pretty bold statement to make, and that's

585
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: the way he feels. That's fine, you want to express yourself.

586
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: But holy crow, job security, buddy.

587
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, job security.

588
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: Expressing something like that publicly out there in the open

589
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: for a New York media to chomp on and to

590
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: do whatever they want with, well.

591
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: They'll ask solid questions all week now to follow up one,

592
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: to get the latest tidbit. Oh you're gonna cut him?

593
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: Is the relationship now? Fraid? Is it this irreparable? Is

594
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: this now the point of over? It's you know, are

595
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: you gonna trade him?

596
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 4: Like?

597
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?

598
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good.

599
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: You usually want those things to happen behind closed doors,

600
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: conversations with coaching staff, conversations with the players.

601
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: When this stuff gets out in the open. Yuck.

602
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that is around the NFL brought to you

603
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Bills. Topic

604
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: of discussion for you today, what position do you think

605
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: still needs tweaking on the Bills roster? You know, Brandon

606
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: Bean loves to tinker all off season to get the

607
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: roster just right for training camp and even for the

608
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: regular season through the course of the preseason. So you

609
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: tell us if you have a position in mind that

610
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: you think needs just ever so slightly to be tweaked

611
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: to make you feel better going into training camp and

612
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: the regular season. Eight h three oh five fifty one

613
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty the number to

614
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: get on board here on Monday on One Bill's Live,

615
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Maddy Lab with you.

616
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 5: Stay tuned.

617
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to One Bill's Live Chris Brown

618
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: Attic Lab with you on a Monday. We do know

619
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: that we're having some technical issues with the phones as

620
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: well as the radio stream on the Odyssey app. Sit

621
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: tight if that's how you usually consume the show. Although

622
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: you're probably not hearing this, but if you're hearing this

623
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: and you have friends that listen on the stream, maybe

624
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: shoot him a text or a tweet, let them know, Hey,

625
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: streams down right now. They're we're going to get it

626
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: back up, so please be patient and our engineers will

627
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: be on it. They're on it right now and hopefully

628
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: they get it rectified in the not too distant future. Also,

629
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: one other thing I double checked regarding the Mackay Beckton's story.

630
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: He was basically blaming his offensive line coach for his

631
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: injury that cost him the twenty twenty two season. That

632
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: was John Benton. He was missed and replaced by Keith Carter.

633
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: So it is a new offensive line coach for Mackay Beckton.

634
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: So maybe he is all right saying what he said

635
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: about the former offensive line coach of the Jets forcing

636
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: him to play with an injury. Now that being said, Maddie,

637
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: there is one more tidbit concerning the Jets. There was

638
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: another Jets player, Ty Johnson, the running back. Yeah, he

639
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: said he was cut right after the team asked him

640
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: to have surgery that he didn't want to have. So

641
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: there seems to be a few things going on in

642
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: Jets Land that don't exactly sound completely on the level,

643
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: But we'll leave that to the New York media to

644
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: dive into and uncover further. But it's interesting when there's

645
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: more than one of those kinds of stories, two very

646
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: different situations. You got a hurt guy that they're forcing

647
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: to play, and then you got a guy that they

648
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: think needs surgery and he doesn't want it. But you

649
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 1: got to wonder about the medical decision making going on

650
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: down there when you have more than one player dealing

651
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: with these kinds of things. But we'll let the Jets

652
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: handle the Jets. We're handling the bills and what position

653
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: you believe might need just a little bit of tweaking

654
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: on Buffalo's roster between now and the start of the

655
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: regular season. Yes, the bulk of off season roster construction

656
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: is done, but as we know, Brandon Bean is always

657
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: tinkering with the roster here and there, and wouldn't shock

658
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: us if we see some more things come down the

659
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: pike in the coming weeks, or even right before training camp.

660
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: So you let us know what you think. Hitting us

661
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: up on the tweet sheet is probably your best course

662
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: of action right now. With the phone lines down, so

663
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live is where you can do that.

664
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: So that's where we are. Maddie, do you have a

665
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: position that comes to mind for you, per Se, like

666
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: just something that you say, Ah, you know what, maybe

667
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 1: if they got one little added piece, or maybe I'd

668
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: like to see more of this at this position. I

669
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: don't know if you had anything that came to mind.

670
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: Per Se, I think off the top of my head

671
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 3: right now without giving it too much thought at this point.

672
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 3: You know, defensive tackle is a position that Brandon Bean

673
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 3: has talked about, is a position that he has said,

674
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 3: you know, we might add more to this group. We

675
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 3: understand we don't have a lot of guys on or

676
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 3: really any guys on contract wise past this next season,

677
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 3: and we would like to fix that so we're not

678
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: in a bad place. Once we finish up with the

679
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three season and head into twenty twenty four,

680
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 3: at least start thinking about the twenty twenty four roster.

681
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 3: So defensive tackle depth wise, I think that could help

682
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 3: this position group because of the way the defensive line

683
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: has played in the past. We know Sean McDermott will

684
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 3: be calling plays this year. That is new but Eric Washington,

685
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 3: their defensive line coach, has been the d line coach.

686
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: Now this will be his third season, I want to say,

687
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 3: with that group, and he likes to rotate bodies to

688
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 3: keep the legs fresh, to send new fresh bodies at

689
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 3: offensive linemen who are getting tired throughout a game. So

690
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 3: if you want to use bodies, you gotta have players.

691
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they do have some younger players in the mix.

692
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: I know Brandon Bean did say that he was happy

693
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: that they were able to pick up Cameron klein Off

694
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: Waivers recently. You still have Kingsley Jonathan in the fold,

695
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: who was a practice squad player last year as a rookie,

696
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: went to play a few games in Chicago, then got released,

697
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: was back with the Bills at the end of the season,

698
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: even played against the Bears on Christmas Eve. Got some

699
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: playing time there. So that's another guy that'll be in

700
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: the mix at you know, a pass rushing position. But yeah,

701
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: defensive tackle was a little thin. They got a couple

702
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: of undrafted free agents to play on the defensive interior.

703
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: DJ Dale probably headlines that group the Alabama kid more

704
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: than anybody else. But if you have a position in mind,

705
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: you let us know phone lines are back up at

706
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: eight oh three zero five point fifty one eight eight

707
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: eight five point fifty two five fifty the number to

708
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: get on board. And let's go to Leslie in Buffalo.

709
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: What do you got for us, Leslie?

710
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 6: I don't Chris good him Maddie, Oh yes, can you

711
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 6: hear me?

712
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: I can? Yeah?

713
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 6: Okay, Maddie took my thought defensive tackle, biggest justin Phillips

714
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 6: and wide out. Could we get Arizona Arizona's white out?

715
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: Oh you're you're still on the DeAndre Hopkins train.

716
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 6: Huh yeah, yes, well, well all our we get nine

717
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 6: ten draft choices next year. Could we work some now?

718
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? I see what you're saying, Leslie. Like the Bills

719
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: would seem to have the draft capital to pull something

720
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: like that off. The problem is the money that DeAndre

721
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: Hopkins is owed, which is thirty four million in base

722
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: salary over the next two years, which the team that

723
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: inherits him would be responsible for in total. Uh. That

724
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: seems to be the biggest stumbling block, and even DeAndre

725
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: Hopkins has said, well, I think I'm gonna be stuck here.

726
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: I think the more interesting one is the one Maddie

727
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: and I were talking about late last week on the

728
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 1: show with DeVante Adams seemingly unhappy in Las Vegas about

729
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: the direction the offense is taking with new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

730
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: Could that be an opportunity for a team looking to

731
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: augment the receiver position knowing he only counts six million

732
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: in base salary. The problem there is the opposite the

733
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: cap hit that Las Vegas would incur if they moved

734
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: him off the roster'd be upwards of thirty million dollars.

735
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: So money is the issue. When things make sense and

736
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: they still don't happen, look at the money. That's probably

737
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: the biggest reason why something like that doesn't happen. Let's

738
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: go back to the phones and to Al up in Wilson.

739
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: What do you got for us?

740
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 7: Al Hi big fan of the show?

741
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: Oh?

742
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 7: Thanks, I got a question on OTA's sure. What does

743
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 7: OTAs stand for? I've asked quite a few people and

744
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 7: nobody seems to know.

745
00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's off season training activities. Oh okay, Yeah, that's

746
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: because it's not just practice. There are conditioning things that

747
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: take place during that point in time, along with a

748
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: host of other things. Way training, that type of stuff.

749
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: So I think they just use that phrase to encompass

750
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: all of it, and since off season training activities is

751
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: a mouthful, they abbreviated okay.

752
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 7: As far as tweaking positions, I don't think anything needs

753
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 7: to be tweaked. I think last year they had so

754
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 7: much happened that control that emotionally, they just run out

755
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 7: of gas, and I think this year will be a

756
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 7: totally different scenario. That's my feelings in it.

757
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I respect it, and I get it,

758
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry it's organized team activities. I don't know

759
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: why I said offseason it would make sense organized team

760
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: activities is OTAs. Yeah, I mean, you think they're gonna

761
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: run out of gas? They ran out of gas last

762
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: year for a whole different reason, you know, due to

763
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: the emotional toll that the Damar Hamlin incident took on them.

764
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. What do you think about is what

765
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: do you think about Al's take?

766
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 3: He said that he didn't think they would run out

767
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 3: of gas this year? So yeah, I mean this past

768
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 3: this past season was a long season for just about

769
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: everybody on the team. What they had to endure, what

770
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 3: they had to go through, the injuries. You couple and

771
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 3: pair that all together, I don't think we see a

772
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 3: season like that that we saw last year. I don't

773
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 3: think we have something like that again this year. I'm like,

774
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 3: knock on the table while I'm saying that, because anything

775
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: can happen.

776
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 2: At the end of the day.

777
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 3: But I also think even if this group was to

778
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 3: go through maybe the injuries or something not as traumatic

779
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 3: as Damar Hamlin, but I feel like the group has

780
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: been through a lot together in that they could go

781
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 3: through something else, something not as tough, but knowing what

782
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: they went through, knowing how they dealt with it, knowing

783
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: how they moved on and got better and grew from

784
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 3: a scenario situation like that, that if they were to

785
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: face something similar, that they would have the tools to

786
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 3: be able to face it, deal with it, learn from it,

787
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: grow from it. But hopefully they're not in a situation

788
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: where they're doing any of that.

789
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 2: This up in season, as.

790
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: Any NFL season will show you, and last season is

791
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 1: probably the best proof of this. There are no guarantees.

792
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: The Bills had an unusually long list of injuries last year,

793
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: an untold number of adverse circumstances thrown at them, from

794
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: whether to you know, the passing of Dawson Knox's brother,

795
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, to the DeMar Hamlin situation, to Kim Pagola's situation.

796
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: So all of that completely unexpected. What's the likelihood of

797
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: that happening again this year? I would say one in

798
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: ten million. But every NFL season, for every NFL team

799
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: has some kind of adversity rolled into it. It just

800
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: the season's too long, the sport itself is too physical

801
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: to not have things crop up over the course of

802
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: the year. And it's more about how good is your

803
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: team at withstanding those adverse circumstances, empowering through them, either

804
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: because they have great team depth, great team resolve, or both.

805
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: So the Bills, the Bills had an unbelievable season despite

806
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: all of that. So you know, if they even get

807
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: just a little bit less adversity, you would hope it

808
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: would mean better things, especially come the postseason. We have

809
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but an open line for

810
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: you at eight h three zero five point fifty one

811
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty what position if

812
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: you had to pick one, do you still think needs

813
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: just a little bit of tweaking before we get to

814
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: training camp. We'll take your phone calls, Mike and Rochester,

815
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: Gon to lead us off when we return here on

816
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. All right back here on one Bill's Live,

817
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Maddy Gleab with you. We mentioned DeAndre Hopkins

818
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: and poof there's stuff from DeAndre Hopkins.

819
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

820
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: He was asked on the im Athlete podcast which quarterbacks

821
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: he'd love to have him have throwing him the football,

822
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: and his first answer was, Josh Allen. I don't think

823
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: he's the only receiver in the league that would answer

824
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: that way, but the fact that he.

825
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 2: Is are the Flames. Brownie, I'm not he.

826
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: Said it, not me. No, I know you're but there

827
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: he is. I mean, answering the question he didn't mention

828
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray in his top five, he now claims, in hindsight,

829
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: it's because he's injured right now and that's why I

830
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: didn't mention Kyler. You know, he's got the injury that's

831
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: going to keep him out at the beginning of the year.

832
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. If he's so bad badly wants somebody

833
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: else throwing him the football, he's going to have to

834
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: make some major concessions in terms of his salary because

835
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: none of these other clubs have enough money to fit

836
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: him under their cap unless they get insanely creative with

837
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: the money he still owed over his last two years.

838
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: So if he so badly wants one of those guys

839
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: thrown to him, he's going to have to make some

840
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: major financial concessions for another team to be able to

841
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: make it work. Right now, that's just that's just the

842
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: way I see it. But stranger things have happened in

843
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: this league for sure. Let's get back to the phones

844
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: at eight h three zero five point fifty one eight

845
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty number to call to

846
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: let us know what position on the roster would you

847
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: like to see, Just get a little more tweaking before

848
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: we get to training camp and the regular season. As promised,

849
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: we lead off with Mike in Rochester. What do you

850
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 1: got for his? Mike here on One Bill's Live.

851
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 8: Well, Hello, thank you for taking my college sure. First

852
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 8: of all, I want to congratulate Maddie, because weeks before

853
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 8: the draft, Maddy did say that we were going to

854
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 8: her hot take with that we were going to take

855
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 8: a tight end. I got on her side, and I

856
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 8: was trying to convince my friends that we were going

857
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:04,959
Speaker 8: to be taking a tight end, and they all thought

858
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 8: that was crazy. Maddy, Yeah, but it ended up you

859
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 8: were being like though I thought it was gonna be

860
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 8: Mike Myers, I'm glad we got Kinka, but that's where

861
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 8: we are.

862
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

863
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 8: Hey, that being said, I think that we got the

864
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 8: pieces in place at the tight end position, but now

865
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 8: we need to tweak how they're going to be used.

866
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 8: So that's that's my take on it. You know, pieces

867
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 8: are there, how we're.

868
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 9: Going to use it.

869
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my call, appreciated, guys.

870
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, no problem, I mean I don't. Maddy and I

871
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: were discussing this last week. Steve and I talked about

872
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: it on our latest podcast, Bills by the Numbers. I

873
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: think that the Bill's usage of twelve personnel is going

874
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: to go up from where it was last year. The

875
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 1: Bills were dead last in the league in the usage

876
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: of twelve personnel. I think it will go up, but

877
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be out of this

878
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: world dramatic because I think what the Bills do best

879
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,479
Speaker 1: is the three receiver sets the eleven personnel. That's their

880
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: trademark of their offense, and I don't think they move

881
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: away from that to suddenly make twelve personnel their bread

882
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: and butter. Where I think twelve personnel is going to

883
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: show up more for the Bills is in the red

884
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: zone because the ability to get two targets like Kinkaiden

885
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 1: knocks on the field down there, I think could really

886
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: do some damage and increase a red zone offense that

887
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: was ninth in the league last year into a potential

888
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: top five unit. As far as sticking the ball in

889
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: the end zone.

890
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 3: Goes, Yeah, I appreciate you a getting on board with

891
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 3: my hot take of drafting a tight end in the

892
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 3: first round.

893
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: Hey, I thought it could happen, and it was.

894
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 3: Really cool to watch the board fall how it did,

895
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 3: and the fact that the Bills had to move up

896
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 3: to go get Dalton meant that they really liked him

897
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 3: and thought that he could do something to this offense

898
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 3: and for this offense.

899
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: It will be.

900
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 3: Interesting to see his usage as a rookie in his

901
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 3: first season in the NFL. I'm really interested to see

902
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: is he gonna be rolled out in game one? How much?

903
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 3: How frequently? Is this gonna be something where he is

904
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 3: going to be a rookie And I'm thinking about how

905
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 3: rookies are used on this team and how they've been

906
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 3: used in the past. Is he somebody that's gonna be

907
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 3: used from the get go? Is he gonna earn his

908
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 3: spot there? Is he going to be folded in and

909
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 3: within the first few weeks? And what will that look like?

910
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Brownie, and that you know your

911
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 3: three wide receiver sets that you've ran in the past,

912
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 3: that this offense has done a really good job with.

913
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 3: I don't think those are gonna go away at all.

914
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 3: Twelve personnel in the red zone, heck yeah, sign me

915
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 3: up for that. Because of the fact that these two

916
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 3: in Dawson Knox and Dalton Kinkaid are complete mismatches. Once

917
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 3: you get inside the red zone, the windows get tighter.

918
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 3: These guys are bigger, they have and Dalton Kincaid has

919
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 3: elite ball skills when you turn on the tape and

920
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 3: when you watch him as a receiver. That's that's a

921
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: reason why Brandon Bean and this coaching staff really liked

922
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 3: him as a tight end is because what he could

923
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 3: offer as a type of wide receiver in addition to

924
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 3: being a tight end. They kind of look at him

925
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 3: when Brandon Bean would explain it is you know, it's

926
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 3: it's kind of like eleven and a half personnel because

927
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 3: of what he offers the game. I think another thing

928
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 3: with that is, and I'm I'm catching myself probably needing

929
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: to do this as well as tempering the expectations for

930
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 3: a rookie right well, right the d hop conversation, the

931
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 3: conversation of hey, let's get another wide receiver in here

932
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 3: to be able to help out Josh Allen and Stefan

933
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 3: Diggs and Gabe Davis. Well, Dalton Kincaid is maybe not

934
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: that receiver, but he's going to be somebody who can

935
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 3: help out Stefan and Josh. But how much and how

936
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 3: much should we expect from him in his first season?

937
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 3: I believe this is somebody who can grow into being

938
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 3: a really important part of this offense, but maybe not

939
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 3: in year one. Maybe year one is starting to roll

940
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 3: out that red carpet and getting him comfortable within the offense.

941
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: Right And as you mentioned, the history of this coaching

942
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: staff is they don't throw rookies on the field. They

943
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: make them earn it. So how quickly can he earn

944
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: playing time or does this coaching staff come to the

945
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: realization that we need guys that are this talented on

946
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: the field as quickly as possible as long as they're

947
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: doing all the right things and making progress, let's get

948
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: them out there sooner rather than later. I know there

949
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,479
Speaker 1: were a lot of people amongst the fan base last

950
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: year that wanted to see Khalil Shakir on the field

951
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: sooner and more often, and wanted James Cook on the

952
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: field sooner and more often. That didn't happen until the

953
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: latter stages of the season, and some I know, some

954
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,439
Speaker 1: fans that I've spoken to wonder if that cost them

955
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: come the playoffs. Shakiir really showed up in the playoffs

956
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: if you think about it. He was making plays, critical plays,

957
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: third down plays to keep drives alive, and Cook flashed

958
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: in the last quarter of the season. Does that convince

959
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, Hey, you know what, We're picking the

960
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: right people for a reason. We invest all the time

961
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: to make sure we're picking guys that have the bills DNA.

962
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: So if that's the case and they can help us

963
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later, let's get them on the field

964
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. Be interesting to see if what

965
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: Shakiir and Cook did down the stretch and in the

966
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: playoffs could convince the coaching staff. Hey, you know what,

967
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: let's get Kincaid and you know, incorporated into the offense

968
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit sooner than we did with those

969
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: two guys last season. Gotta take a break here. More

970
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: of your phone calls though. In our number two we

971
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: are wide open. Eight oh three five fifty the number

972
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: to get on board one eight eight eight five point

973
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: fifty two five point fifty the toll free number. Got

974
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: open lines for you. When we start our number two,

975
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: it begins with Mark and Jersey City. So hang tight.

976
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: We'll get to your phone calls when we return. Here

977
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo

978
00:50:46,520 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. This is One Bills Lives presented by Calida Health.

979
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: All right, here we are our number two on a Monday,

980
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 1: Chris Brown attic Lab with you discussing the Bills roster

981
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: and maybe a position or two that you might still

982
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: like to see a tweak at between now in training

983
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: camp or at least now in the regular season. We

984
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: did tell you that the spring league meetings are taking

985
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: place up in Minnesota. We talked about the potential for

986
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: a vote to be made on making fair catches on

987
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: kickoffs spotted at the twenty five yard line. That is

988
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: going to be pushed back until Tuesday. According to NFL

989
00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: Networks Tom Pella Sero, special teams coordinators are totally against

990
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: it because of what we were mentioning earlier. It kind

991
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: of takes out the ability to pop a kickup short

992
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: to force the return man to field it because you

993
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: have confidence in your coverage unit to tackle him before

994
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: the twenty five yard line. Well, if you pop it

995
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: up short and now they can just fair catch it, it

996
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: goes to the twenty five anyway, and takes out that

997
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: element of the game. So special teams coordinators are totally

998
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: against it. The Competition Committee, however, is in favor because

999
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: it takes one more collision out of the game and

1000
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: arguably makes it safer. So we'll see what comes of

1001
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: that tomorrow. Meanwhile, NFL owners did approve the proposal allowing

1002
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: teams to dress a third quarterback on game day without

1003
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,479
Speaker 1: using an active roster spot. This is like the old

1004
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: days when they had the emergency third quarterback available on

1005
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: game day, so if God forbid, something happens to your

1006
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: first two, you can put that guy into the game.

1007
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco certainly could have used that in the NFC

1008
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: title game last year because by the end they had

1009
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey playing quarterback for him was a disaster. So

1010
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of what prompted that kind of coming back

1011
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: in and that was approved. So that is good to go.

1012
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: But we're going to get back to the phone lines

1013
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: here as we want to know from you what position,

1014
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: if you had to pick one, would you like to

1015
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: see a little tweaking to before the Bills go to

1016
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: training camp. Back to the phones we go where we

1017
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: have an open line for you at eight h three

1018
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: zero five to fifty and to Mark in Jersey City,

1019
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: what do you have first?

1020
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 10: Mark, Good afternoon, guys. I think it's defensive line. It's

1021
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 10: always the one position being never seems to content that.

1022
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 10: He always seems to be shaking the trees, trying to

1023
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 10: see what falls out there, whether it's end, whether it's

1024
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 10: defensive tackle. From the time they got there, and given

1025
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 10: the situation contract wise, lack of production from some of

1026
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 10: the younger defensive ends even and once Spawn went out

1027
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 10: and I believe Rousseau was out some games, that pass

1028
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 10: rush really really took a hit and they started to

1029
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 10: get more exposed down the field, you know, and they

1030
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 10: were injury riddled back there too, So I think there

1031
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 10: and then tight ends. I'll do you one better, Chris.

1032
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 10: I think we'll see twenty three personnel once they get

1033
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 10: inside the ten because they love Quinton Morris. They liked him.

1034
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 10: He split out, caught the one touchdown against Miami, and

1035
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 10: he played a lot more than I thought any I

1036
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 10: think he played a lot more than anybody thought he

1037
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 10: would play last year, and anytime he got an opportunity,

1038
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 10: he was good at it. So I think there'll be

1039
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 10: some games, depending on the weather, because we know those

1040
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 10: games will happen, that we'll see that. We'll see him

1041
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 10: up instead of an extra wide receiver.

1042
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I could see some jumbo for sure.

1043
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: Twenty three personnel. I think twelve might be what they

1044
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean again after eleven personnel, which I think we

1045
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: all expect to still be their bread and butter this

1046
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: year offensively, I think twelve is going to be right

1047
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: behind that in the red zone. And then you know

1048
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: what I would sign up for. I'd sign up for

1049
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: some twenty two. Get Damian Harris or Latavius Murray in

1050
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: there and put red Gillium in front of him. Let's go.

1051
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: I would sign up for that. I think We're gonna

1052
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: see more power running between the tackles, not just in

1053
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: short yardage, but late in games when the Bills have

1054
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: the lead, maybe more than we've seen ever in the

1055
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: McDermott era. So things to contemplate and to think about.

1056
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: But there's another vote for the defensive line, Maddi.

1057
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can never have too many defensive linemen. I

1058
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 3: know you could say that for the offensive line as well.

1059
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,479
Speaker 3: I think they do have a good amount of guys

1060
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 3: right now on the rostra at least, and bodies who

1061
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 3: can compete for stops, for starting spots, and bodies who

1062
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 3: can compete also for depth pieces, because they're going to

1063
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 3: need that along the offensive line this year. But the

1064
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 3: defensive end is an interesting position as well. Beyond von

1065
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 3: Miller and Greg Russeau, who fits into the fold there. Yes,

1066
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 3: those are going to be your primary guys on the end,

1067
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 3: but there are gonna be downs. There are gonna be

1068
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 3: times where there's gonna be different bodies aside from Rousseau

1069
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 3: and von Miller play in those games. We don't know

1070
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 3: if von Miller is going to be good to go

1071
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 3: week one. We're not sure about that. I mean, hopefully

1072
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 3: that is the case, we've heard that he's he's on

1073
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,720
Speaker 3: the right timeline. We haven't heard a date. We'll probably

1074
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 3: get some updates throughout OTAs and mandatory mini camp from

1075
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 3: where Von is, what he's doing on the field, even

1076
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 3: if he's even out there, if he's rehabbing, what that

1077
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 3: looks like. But if it's not gonna be vn in

1078
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 3: the beginning of the season, there's gonna be somebody else

1079
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 3: who has to fill that hole, which also means there's

1080
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 3: going to have to be somebody behind that person who

1081
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 3: is filling in for Von Miller. And I would love

1082
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 3: to see a j Epanessa and Boogie Basham and Shaq

1083
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 3: loss and continue to take those steps forward. But I

1084
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 3: think we've all been wanting to see more out of

1085
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 3: those guys when when it's their turn to be on

1086
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: the field, and they've had they've had times, and they've

1087
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 3: had consistent games, but I think it's putting it together.

1088
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 2: And that's the case for somebody like.

1089
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 3: Like Ed Oliver as well as Yes, you've had you've

1090
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 3: had stints, you've had series, you've had bursts, wear whatever

1091
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 3: you want to call it, where it's been good and

1092
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 3: you've been a productive player and you've made a difference,

1093
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 3: but can you put that together game after game?

1094
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: I think, just to illustrate our last caller, Mark's point

1095
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: even more, how you know, Brandon Bean's always trying to

1096
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: tweak and tinker with the defensive line rotation. There are

1097
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: eighteen defensive linemen on the roster right now.

1098
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 2: They're eighteen.

1099
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:38,479
Speaker 1: There are ten defensive tackles and eight defensive ends. I mean,

1100
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: they go, they go, They go five deep at defensive

1101
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: tackle right now. Now. Obviously we know not all of

1102
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: those guys are going to make the active roster, but

1103
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 1: I wonder how many they carry at the end. They

1104
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: carried nine defensive linemen when they made the initial fifty

1105
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: three man roster. I'm sure it vacillated between nine and

1106
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: ten through the course of the year based on player availability,

1107
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: injuries at other positions, etc. I'm wondering if they carry

1108
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: ten on the fifty three this year because I think,

1109
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: if you plan to play, if Sean McDermott still plans

1110
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: to play Nickel as much as they have the past

1111
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: couple of years, do you really need more than five

1112
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: linebackers on your roster. I mean you need them for

1113
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: special teams. I get that but there's really only two

1114
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: on the field most of the time on defense, and

1115
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: you have the added talent of a guy by the

1116
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: name of Taylor Rapp who could factor into some three

1117
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: safety looks and take snaps there. So you roll all

1118
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: that together, and I wonder if they keep instead of

1119
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: five defensive ends and just four defensive tackles as was

1120
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: the case last year, do they go five and five

1121
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: and take a fifth defensive tackle the active fifty three?

1122
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: Because you got to remember, again, Maddie, we're talking about

1123
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: all these expiring contracts, but they're all veteran players. Yes,

1124
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: you're talking day Kwon Jones, Ed Oliver, Tim Settle, Poona Ford,

1125
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips. Those are arguably your top five, with a

1126
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: bunch of other guys that have been on the practice

1127
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: squad and DJ Dale, the undrafted rookie. So I'm not

1128
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: saying you can't put a veteran on the practice squad.

1129
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: You can. I mean, there are those exceptions on the

1130
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: expanded practice squad rules that have come into vogue the

1131
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: last couple of years since COVID. But I wonder if

1132
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: they keep ten on their outright.

1133
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 3: They not last year, the year before, was it ten

1134
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 3: or eleven, because I remember when we were doing.

1135
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: I think it was ten off offensive linemen. Okay, I

1136
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: know that.

1137
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 3: I know we had a big number at defensive line

1138
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 3: Eric Washington's first season because the big storyline was we

1139
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 3: want to rotate these guys yep, and we're going to

1140
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 3: have more honor active roster, and then they usually had

1141
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 3: one more up.

1142
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 2: For the game day roster to rotate. Believe.

1143
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Oh, like you mean like an elevation.

1144
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 3: Yes, I think they would usually elevate one more defensive lineman.

1145
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's your way around it nowadays, although

1146
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: you're limited to how many free elevations you can have.

1147
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: It's up to three now without having to subject that

1148
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: player to waivers and get claimed by somebody else. You

1149
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: can just option them back to the practice squad. But

1150
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: you can only do that three times max in a season.

1151
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: So if you had a guy that said, oh, let's

1152
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: just call this guy up every week, well, after three times,

1153
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: he gets exposed to waivers and somebody else can claim him.

1154
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: And if he's good enough to play for you three

1155
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: weeks in a row, chances are somebody that might be

1156
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: short at that position is gonna scoop him up so

1157
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: you have to be strategic with that stuff, which makes

1158
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: me think they probably do keep five and five, especially

1159
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: if they're gonna rotate.

1160
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 2: Did they have six linebackers on the roster last year? Five?

1161
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: It was Bernard Madikievich, Climb came later Climb, so Dodson

1162
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: those three and then you had Milano and Edmunds that five.

1163
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: Trying to remember if there was a sixth oh balin

1164
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: spec so they had six, I don't know if they

1165
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: If you're carry you gotta you gotta rob from Peter

1166
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: to pay Paul if you're gonna carry more one position

1167
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: than another. And they obviously felt special teams was more

1168
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: important last year and they carried six linebackers. I'm wondering

1169
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: what they do this time around, or do they carry

1170
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: it light somewhere else. Maybe they even robbed from the

1171
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, where there's gonna be another

1172
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: decision to make. You know, with the tight end position,

1173
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: are you carrying three Reggie Gilliam, where are you gonna

1174
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: factor his role in? Does he factor into the tight

1175
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 1: end group or are you gonna slide them over to

1176
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: the running back group. You got some veteran players in

1177
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: that running back room. Now, like like Tavius Murray and

1178
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: Damian Harris, do they both make the rosters.

1179
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 3: I just got the running group thinking we might carry

1180
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 3: another an extra running back this year. And I know

1181
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,959
Speaker 3: in the past there's been running backs on a ross

1182
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 3: that have played more special teams role.

1183
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're gonna carry five there, Yeah, and you

1184
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: counting Gillian. I'm counting Gillian.

1185
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:09,439
Speaker 2: Coun Gillian is a running back.

1186
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 3: You have older players like Latavius Murray and somebody who's

1187
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 3: played in the league several years like.

1188
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 2: Nahim Hines and Damien.

1189
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 3: Harris, and I start to see roles for each one

1190
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 3: of these guys on the offense depending on what situation,

1191
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 3: the down and distance that you're in. If it's a

1192
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 3: short yardage situation, Latavius Murray is a very different makeup

1193
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 3: of a running back compared to what else we have

1194
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 3: on the roster.

1195
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 2: Nahim Heines is different.

1196
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 3: Than James Cook, and James Cook is different than Damian Harris.

1197
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 3: I see all of these four running backs fitting in

1198
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 3: different spots and different needs within the game.

1199
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: Right. I think Latavius Murray, who I think is certainly

1200
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: good enough to still be a regular rostered NFL running back,

1201
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: in this league, even at age thirty three. I mean,

1202
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: we had him here in studio. The guy's fit as

1203
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: a fiddle. But I wonder if he takes on the

1204
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: role that we saw what's the guy's name, Duke Duke

1205
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: Johnson last year who kind of was optioned to the

1206
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: practice squad and stayed there until he was needed. Or

1207
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: maybe you have a given opponent where you just want

1208
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: to power run the hell out of them. All right,

1209
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: let's elevate Latavious this week and then option him back down,

1210
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: and then he's one of our four protected players on

1211
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: the practice squad that we don't let anybody touch, and

1212
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: we have him as a luxury there to use at

1213
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: our discretion, and if we have an injury, bang, he's

1214
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 1: on the active roster. I wonder if they do that

1215
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: similar to the way they did last week last year

1216
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: with Duke Johnson.

1217
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 3: And you don't have a Taiwan Jones anymore on the roster,

1218
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 3: at least at that running back.

1219
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: Right.

1220
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he took up a spot, but he was a

1221
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 3: special teams player. So you wonder if that special teams

1222
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 3: player fits in in a different position other than running back.

1223
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 2: Maybe it's line.

1224
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 3: Backer, Like you talked about and like players have have

1225
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 3: been a part of last year, Tyler Menikaevich, Trel Bernard Bayalinspector,

1226
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 3: guys who are Tyrrell Dodson who are also used on

1227
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:12,439
Speaker 3: special teams.

1228
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Right, And then you know you've got added depth at

1229
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: safety now because you have Taylor rap here. DeMar Hamlin's

1230
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: been cleared. You hope he makes the full recovery and

1231
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: he's part of the roster conversation as well. And then

1232
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: the first guy they signed in free agency this year

1233
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: was Zane Anderson, who's a special teams guy. So maybe

1234
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: instead of Taiwan Jones at the running back position, is

1235
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: your extra special teams player a safety? And Zane Anderson, Well,

1236
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see. These are the kinds

1237
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: of tricky decisions, yep, that have to be made when

1238
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out your fifty three. What position

1239
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: do you think still needs tweaking. We're gonna go back

1240
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: to the phones open line for you. There at eight

1241
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: h three zero five point fifty won eight and eight

1242
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty the number to get on board.

1243
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 1: But we go to rich In Tanawanda next. What do

1244
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: you off for as rich you're on One Bill's Live.

1245
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 9: Hey, Chris and Maddie. Nice to talk to you. Thanks

1246
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 9: for taking my call. Hey, the one thing you really

1247
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 9: haven't stressed on is the offensive line. Now. Alan ran

1248
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 9: for his life last year, and I think especially center

1249
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 9: can be upgraded. And the reason why I say that

1250
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 9: is because, in my opinion, I don't think Mitch Morris

1251
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 9: did a I mean, he's good, but I don't think

1252
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 9: he's big enough. I don't think he's strong enough. And

1253
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 9: I'd like to see the offensive line have better run

1254
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 9: blackers and maybe even replace the center. What are your thoughts?

1255
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks for the call, Rich, we can address that.

1256
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I thought Mitch Morris had his best

1257
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: year in a Bill's uniform last season. I thought it

1258
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: was his most consistent seasons he's been here. That's number one.

1259
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Number two, he has an extraordinary relationship with Josh Allen

1260
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: in terms of getting the protection set and the pre

1261
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, in the line calls and stuff like that.

1262
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: That works very seamlessly between those two. That should not

1263
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: be dismissed. He's a mobile center, he's not a push

1264
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: the pile center. So as long as you know what

1265
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: you're getting there I think you have to be happy

1266
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: with what he's given you, especially last season. But I

1267
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: think part of the reason why we saw the turnover

1268
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: at the guard position this offseason was for the reason

1269
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: you're discussing Rich to be better between the tackles in

1270
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: the run game, and I think the Bills, as a

1271
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: coaching staff and a personnel department put that on the

1272
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: guard position because they think so much of Mitch as

1273
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: a center. I think they're looking to help him on

1274
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: the interior and that's why you see a three hundred

1275
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: and thirty pound guard drafted in Osiris, Torrance. That's why

1276
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: the biggest free agent contract that was handed out this

1277
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: offseason went to Connor McGovern, who they got from Dallas.

1278
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: Those are two guys that are going to One is

1279
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: probably going to be the starter at left guard, the

1280
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: other's going to be in the mix to start at

1281
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: right guard. And I think if you have two girthy

1282
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: size guys at the guard positions, I think that makes

1283
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: you a better in between the tackles running football team,

1284
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: which I think is a fair criticism Rich that it

1285
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,479
Speaker 1: hasn't been as good, but I don't think it comes

1286
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: at the expense of Mitch Morse's spot. I think it's

1287
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: you could see two changes at the guard positions from

1288
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: last season to this season.

1289
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought Mitch Morse had an incredible season last

1290
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 3: year because of the fact that the people around him

1291
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 3: were switching and were in and out of the lineups

1292
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 3: so much and such. And this is a center who

1293
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 3: since he came to the Bills in twenty nineteen. Sure,

1294
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 3: you've had a solidified five at times, but it's been

1295
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 3: a position group that's experienced a lot of injury and

1296
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 3: has had to shift a lot, even throughout games.

1297
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 2: I've remember times where.

1298
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 3: It was Mitch coming off of the field and other

1299
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 3: people rolling into that center position. Not saying that he's

1300
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 3: injured a lot, but it's just an offensive line that's

1301
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 3: been through quite a bit in terms of shifting and

1302
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 3: having to get comfortable with somebody who's just coming into

1303
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 3: a game, maybe in the second or third quarter, and

1304
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 3: you as a center have to create and know that

1305
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 3: chemistry right away, so at the flip of a switch,

1306
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 3: when a new guy is standing next to you, you

1307
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 3: have to be.

1308
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 2: Ready for that.

1309
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 3: I think he's done a really good job of doing

1310
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 3: that through practices, training camp, and relationship building. With his

1311
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 3: players as well as a quarterback like Josh Allen. Mitch

1312
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 3: Morse is going into his ninth NFL season. I still

1313
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 3: think he has years left in the tank. Sure down

1314
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 3: the road, this is going to be a position that

1315
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 3: the Bills will need to address, whether that's in the

1316
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 3: drafter or via free agency. But I also think with

1317
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 3: the additions that they've made to the roster with the

1318
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 3: offensive line position, Brandon Bean does not think that that

1319
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 3: center position needs to be looked at, doesn't need a

1320
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 3: a next person in waiting yet. Because of the fact

1321
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 3: that they added so many guards to the roster this season,

1322
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,719
Speaker 3: I think that's a telling telling thing for this team

1323
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 3: is that, hey, Mitch is still doing his job. He's

1324
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 3: still a great center, a great offensive lineman. He was

1325
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 3: a Pro Bowler this year as well. He made it

1326
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 3: to the Pro Bowl. So I think they've got a

1327
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 3: solid choice in Mitch Morse. I think what you said, Brownie,

1328
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 3: they're addressing the offensive line through guard positions this year.

1329
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: They have.

1330
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 3: They've had guys at the guard spots in the last

1331
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 3: few years that have been on short contracts. Roger Saffold

1332
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 3: was on a one year deal, but we saw guys

1333
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 3: be brought in to this building this year that have

1334
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 3: signed more than one year deal, So maybe you're going

1335
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 3: to start to see more solid play at that position

1336
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 3: with guys who are signing three year deals.

1337
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: Deals and a different you know, body composition as well,

1338
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: bigger girthier guards who can push the pile. I mean

1339
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:21,600
Speaker 1: McGovern is a good pass protector, but you know he

1340
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: can move people in the run game as well. And

1341
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: then we all know what Osiris Torrance is calling card

1342
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: has been all through college. He is a people mover

1343
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: as well, So I think he's going to be very

1344
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: stiff competition for a guy like Ryan Bates, who uses

1345
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: athleticism more than anything else to be an effective offensive linement. Now,

1346
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 1: as far as Morse and you know who would back

1347
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: him up, you're looking at Ryan Bates, You're looking at

1348
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: Ike Butcker, you're looking at Greg Mans who is back

1349
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 1: with the team as well after being on the practice

1350
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: squad for most of the last season. So that's kind

1351
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: of how you chop that position up behind Mitch Morris.

1352
01:10:56,439 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: But I don't anticipate a change there anytime soon. Eight

1353
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty the number to get on board

1354
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: one eight eight five fifty two five fifty the toll

1355
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: free number. As we are still taking your phone calls.

1356
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: We're wide open throughout today, as we're asking for that

1357
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: one roster position that you think could still use a

1358
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: little tweaking between now and the time we get to

1359
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,639
Speaker 1: training camp. It was a real hard choice for me, Maddie.

1360
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you're kind of splitting hairs here. I know

1361
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: you picked defensive line, and that's a good one to pick,

1362
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: not only because you know you can always stand to

1363
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's like Brandon Bean says all the time,

1364
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: you never have enough pass rushers. So I get that.

1365
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I guess there's a small part of me that wishes

1366
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: there was a little more experience at the linebacker position.

1367
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: I thought that it was a foregone conclusion that Tremaine

1368
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: Edmonds was going to be gone because he was just

1369
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: going to get priced out of Buffalo's range of what

1370
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: they could afford to pay him, and that proved to

1371
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,640
Speaker 1: be the case. I just thought they might shoes to

1372
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 1: go with a proven veteran starter, you know, as a

1373
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: stopgap measure or insurance. But I think that's what aj

1374
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Klein is. He's veteran insurance in case a young up

1375
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: and comer like Terrell Bernard or Tyrel Dodson or Baale

1376
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: inspector can't assume the role of the starting position. So

1377
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: we'll see. And again, I'm splitting hairs on that, but

1378
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: that's just kind of something that I thought might happen

1379
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 1: that didn't. But I'm not like, oh my gosh, they're

1380
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 1: screwed because they didn't do that. So I guess I

1381
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 1: kind of see it as splitting hairs. But let's go

1382
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: back to the phones and to Paul in Arizona, Nex.

1383
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: What do you got for us?

1384
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 4: Paul, Hey, how you doing guys? Thanks, I'd taking my call.

1385
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 4: I just wanted to throw in there too that Jim

1386
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 4: Brown also played basketball. Yes, eracuse my dad played against

1387
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 4: My dad played at Pitt and he played a couple

1388
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 4: of years and he actually had averaging double figures in

1389
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 4: fifty five I think six.

1390
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:56,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Three sport guy for sure.

1391
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 9: Yeah. So that was it.

1392
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 4: I just go build and we're going to the Chargers game.

1393
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 9: December, oh the night game.

1394
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1395
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 4: So anyways, love your comment, Tater comment, Yeah, blah blah blah.

1396
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 4: Love your comments and have.

1397
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: A good one all right, Thanks Paul, appreciate you chiming

1398
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 1: in on that. Yeahjan Brown was a free sport guy

1399
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: for sure, even at the major college level, which is

1400
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. I think I don't think he played those

1401
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: for all four years. I think Paul just said basketball

1402
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,799
Speaker 1: for only two. I don't know if he played lacrosse

1403
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: more than one or two years. But all those coaches

1404
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: were beating down his store. Hey why don't you come

1405
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: out and play this because you're great at it? But yeah,

1406
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: I don't I mean getting back to the roster. I

1407
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: just I think the roster looks pretty good. But you

1408
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: just don't know what's going to come down the pike,

1409
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: you know. DeAndre Hopkins is still fanning the flames with

1410
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: all the interviews he does these days. Basically asked, as

1411
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier on the show on the I Am

1412
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Athlete Pod, what quarterback would you want throwing to you

1413
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:03,839
Speaker 1: if you had your choice, and he said Josh Allen first,

1414
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: and then he mentioned some others like Lamar and a

1415
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: few other guys. But he's got to change his tune

1416
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: on what he's gonna get paid the next two years

1417
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: if he wants something like that to happen, because he

1418
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,560
Speaker 1: just cost too much money, which is why no team

1419
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: has even really made a formal offer that we have

1420
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: heard of to try to acquire him. And so where

1421
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: it goes from here is anybody's yes.

1422
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 3: I think another thing with the depth on this roster,

1423
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 3: surrounding the question that we're asking today, what position do.

1424
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 2: You think still needs tweaking.

1425
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 3: The Bills in a sense last year because of the

1426
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 3: injuries that this team faced, they got to look at

1427
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 3: what their depth was. Like a lot of teams have depth,

1428
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 3: but if they have a healthy season, they don't get

1429
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 3: to see how that depth looks like on the field,

1430
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 3: how it works together, if they believe they have good depth,

1431
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 3: or if they need to get more depth in the

1432
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 3: offseason because your second and third string guys didn't perform

1433
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 3: how you wanted them to perform. So I think one

1434
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 3: thing that the Bills have on their side, and again

1435
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 3: not a great thing that they had to go through

1436
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 3: so many injuries last year, but Brandon Bean in the

1437
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 3: scouting department and the coaching staff got a really good

1438
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:18,759
Speaker 3: look at some of their second and third string guys

1439
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 3: on this roster, from the offense to the defense, and

1440
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 3: in some ways you can see how the roster has

1441
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 3: changed with that depth, with maybe guys who you'd think

1442
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 3: would be second and third string guys this year, there's

1443
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 3: a lot of the same and familiar faces who have

1444
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 3: been depth on this team and who have been second

1445
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 3: team and third team guys who have been able to

1446
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 3: ride the wave with this group for three or four years.

1447
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 3: And that's because when they've been called upon, they've answered

1448
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 3: and they've done a good job. But then there's some

1449
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 3: positions that we're seeing some new depth come on to

1450
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 3: this roster, and like you spoke about, that guard spot

1451
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 3: is a place where we've seen a lot of new

1452
01:15:56,840 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 3: faces on this roster. One other position I always think

1453
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 3: about that we have seen third string players and second

1454
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 3: team guys get a lot of reps at is in

1455
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 3: the secondary, through the cornerback and the safety injuries. We've

1456
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 3: seen guys go through it, and we've seen guys stay

1457
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 3: on the roster because of that. A player like DeMar

1458
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 3: Hamlin when he was called upon when when he had

1459
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 3: to play, I know last year he went what he

1460
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 3: went through and we hope that he'll be a part

1461
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,759
Speaker 3: of the roster this year and healthy enough to play.

1462
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 3: But that's a position group that's gotten tested in a

1463
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 3: lot of ways. The corners and the safeties, and and

1464
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 3: Dan Jackson has has earned a spot on this roster

1465
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 3: year after year when you can even go back to

1466
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 3: him competing with Levi Wallace for a position and being

1467
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,799
Speaker 3: there when Trey White wasn't a part of the lineup.

1468
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 3: I am so looking forward to seeing what Trey White

1469
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 3: looks like this year, now that he has a year

1470
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 3: under his belt where he's been able to get back

1471
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 3: to the game, where he's been able to put that

1472
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 3: ACL injury aside and truly compete opposite of Kyri Elam

1473
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 3: And I also wonder what's going to be the case

1474
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 3: at that corner spot. Is it going to be a

1475
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 3: battle for that spot opposite of Trey White, our Kyeer

1476
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 3: and Dane going to battle it out this season?

1477
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 2: What's that going to?

1478
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 3: Christ Is Christian Benford part of the mix? As as

1479
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 3: we've heard Brandon Bean say, you know, safety might be

1480
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 3: a spot for him or or we're not sure what

1481
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 3: that's going to look like this year, depending on what

1482
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 3: the depth looks like at each position.

1483
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: And when you were talking about all of that, the

1484
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: first name that popped into my head was JaMarcus Ingram.

1485
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: Here's a guy that you probably don't have any knowledge

1486
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: of how he would play if he gets dropped into

1487
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: the fire in a real game. They had to do

1488
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: that last year in Week three when they were dropping

1489
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: like flies down in Miami, JaMarcus Ingram played a half

1490
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,679
Speaker 1: of football at outside corner against Tyree Kill, Jalen Waddle

1491
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: and Trent Schurfield.

1492
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 2: I forgot about that, but you're so right.

1493
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: But there's that is valuable tape on a young player

1494
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: in your pipeline that you probably know a whole lot

1495
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: more about that player now than if he had never

1496
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: played in a regular season game. There'd be a lot

1497
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: less to go on. So yeah, the point is well taken.

1498
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: We got to take a break here though, because we

1499
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: are up against it, but we'll be back with more

1500
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: of your phone calls here for the final half hour

1501
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: of the show on one Bill's Live.

1502
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 5: Stay tune. All right, welcome back to one Bill's Live.

1503
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Attic Lab with you talking about a roster

1504
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: position that might need a little tweaking in your estimation

1505
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: before we get to training camp. Open line for you

1506
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: at eight h three oh five fifty one eight eight

1507
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty the number to get on board.

1508
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: We go back to the phones and to Mark and

1509
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: West Seneca. What do you got for us? Mark?

1510
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 11: Hi, guys, Hey, you guys started talking about just a

1511
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 11: little bit. I'm really interested to see what they do

1512
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 11: at Corner. First question about Corner is Tredavious. Is he

1513
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 11: in the facility? Is he working out here locally or

1514
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 11: is he at home working out does? How does he

1515
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 11: look if you guys have seen him, because we really

1516
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 11: need him to be back to the old Fordavious light

1517
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 11: if we're going to be moving forward back there. I

1518
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 11: think we have a lot of youth back there. I'd

1519
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 11: be really interested to see if Brandon adds a veteran

1520
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 11: guy to at least compete with all these young kids

1521
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 11: at Corner. And the other part of that is I'd

1522
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,440
Speaker 11: be really interested to see.

1523
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 8: Who he would who he'd bring in.

1524
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 11: Because they've always been very very clear that they only

1525
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,639
Speaker 11: bring in guys that fit their scheme. And if whoever

1526
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 11: they would bring in, I think would be an indication,

1527
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 11: maybe a little bit of an indication of something kind

1528
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:54,679
Speaker 11: of players in the scheme that McDermott might be thinking

1529
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:57,640
Speaker 11: about running with, you know, with new corners back there

1530
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 11: or whatever. And then I just Wanda, we haven't talked

1531
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 11: about it a lot. I want to give Murph well

1532
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 11: wishes and prayers. I know he's still recovering at home

1533
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 11: and we miss him. I hope he's ready for the

1534
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 11: regular season. But if he's not, Brownie, are you still

1535
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 11: in line to do the games? Because he did a

1536
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 11: great job and it was fun.

1537
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 9: To listen to you.

1538
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, thanks for the afternoon. Yeah, I appreciate it.

1539
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 1: I think we're all, uh, we're all hopeful that Murph

1540
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: is back and ready to roll. And you know, he's

1541
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: working hard to make the progress he needs to make,

1542
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:32,600
Speaker 1: and I think they're going to get him all the

1543
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: time that he needs, and I think that's kind of

1544
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 1: where it sits right now. As for corner, have you

1545
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 1: seen Trey in the building? I haven't seen him.

1546
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 3: I So this past week we had our weekend is

1547
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 3: we had Rookie Mini Camp recently, so we were able

1548
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 3: to be out on the field for Rookie Mini Camp.

1549
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 3: Tasker and I were out on the field for me

1550
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 3: the first ten minutes. Trey obviously wasn't there for Rookie

1551
01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 3: Mini Camp, but aside from that, when they were doing

1552
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 3: workouts the weeks before Rookie Minnie Camp, I did see

1553
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:06,679
Speaker 3: Trey a couple times, so he's been around.

1554
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,600
Speaker 2: I have not seen him today, but we didn't have

1555
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 2: seen Yeah, we didn't have open availability at all today.

1556
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:15,759
Speaker 2: They tomorrow they did.

1557
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 3: Practice, but will know tomorrow because we have availability tomorrow,

1558
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 3: which means we'll hear from Sean. We're also gonna hear

1559
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,879
Speaker 3: from Josh Allen, and we're gonna hear from John Butler,

1560
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 3: one of the coaches in the secondary, who will probably

1561
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,680
Speaker 3: talk about Trey White, and we'll get asked some questions

1562
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 3: about Trey White.

1563
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll get to check it out tomorrow.

1564
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 3: See if Trey White, see if all the other guys

1565
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 3: are out there, but I.

1566
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 2: Haven't seen him. We're on the building here in the

1567
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 2: off season.

1568
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 1: And as far as as far as you know, adding

1569
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 1: a veteran corner mark, I kind of have that similar thought.

1570
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 1: And if it's if it hasn't happened yet, there's a

1571
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,959
Speaker 1: part of me that wonders, does that mean a decision

1572
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: has been made on where Christian Benford is gonna lie

1573
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: up because I think if he's going to line up

1574
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: at corner, maybe they don't add a veteran free agent,

1575
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? But if that sense, if

1576
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we go out to OTA's tomorrow

1577
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 1: and there's Benford, you know, lining up at safety, well,

1578
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: then maybe the door is still open for something like

1579
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 1: that to happen. And there are some good veteran corners

1580
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,679
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, Marcus Peters is out there, William

1581
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 1: Jackson is out there, Bradley Roby, Casey Hayward. I mean,

1582
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 1: there's some some quality veteran corners that I think, at

1583
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: this stage in their career might be willing, you know,

1584
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,600
Speaker 1: to take a reserve position or maybe say hey, you

1585
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 1: can come in and compete for a starting job, but

1586
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 1: we can't guarantee you a starting job. I think some

1587
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: of those guys would sign up for that. Troy Hill,

1588
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's another guy played for the Rams for

1589
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: a while. There's a lot of name corners that if

1590
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: you go down the list like, oh, I know that guy, well,

1591
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: I've seen that guy play. Like there's more than usual

1592
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: out there. So and I think it's due in part

1593
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: to the fact that it was a strong corner draft.

1594
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 2: It was.

1595
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 1: So it's a chance to get cheap labor at a

1596
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: position that costs a premium. So how much does the

1597
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: cost come down to maybe get a proven veteran corner

1598
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: on a budget, you might be able to do that.

1599
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,759
Speaker 1: And so I'm not saying it's predicated on where Benford

1600
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: ends up, but I wonder if that's part of the

1601
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: equation here. And if he ends up at corner, maybe

1602
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 1: the Bills say, you know what, we're good there, we're good,

1603
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 1: we got the depth we need. But if maybe they

1604
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: slide him over to safety, does that change things? Well,

1605
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see what tomorrow shows us.

1606
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be interesting, and it'll have to fit the

1607
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 3: bill of what Brandon Bean wants to spend on that

1608
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 3: position if he were to add another player to that

1609
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 3: position group, to the cornerback's position group. Again, we know

1610
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 3: the Bills aren't working with a lot of money that's

1611
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 3: left over, and Brandon Bean was saying this before they

1612
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 3: had signed the rookie class. Now all the rookies are signed,

1613
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 3: so they're working with even less money now. And where

1614
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 3: do you allocate the money that's left Is corner a

1615
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:06,599
Speaker 3: position that Brandon Bean thinks it has a need or

1616
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 3: maybe another spot available to be able to bring somebody on,

1617
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,719
Speaker 3: or is that at another position group? Is that on offense,

1618
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 3: is that on defense? You know our question today, what

1619
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 3: position do you think still needs tweaking? We open the

1620
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 3: show and you said, I think we all know Brandon

1621
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 3: Bean well enough by now to know that he's really

1622
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 3: never done tweaking. There's there's always tweaking that's happening. And

1623
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 3: if there's somebody that's out there that he thinks could

1624
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 3: be able to add to this group or add to

1625
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 3: the the competition that's going to happen here through out

1626
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 3: OTAs in training camp, heck yeah, he's gonna do it

1627
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 3: because it's going to make the players better.

1628
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 2: A who are part of that competition?

1629
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,600
Speaker 3: Where is it going to be because this roster is

1630
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 3: at a point where you're paying your top tier guys

1631
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 3: and you can't afford everybody anymore.

1632
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet on what position you

1633
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: think still needs tweaking? Brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1634
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, where

1635
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: Jack says would still love to add a big fish

1636
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 1: and wide receiver, but that ship has probably sailed. I

1637
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind adding another defensive end. I like the idea

1638
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 1: of Frank Clark for depth and competition, especially if Vaughn

1639
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: needs time to get back and he knows the Chiefs,

1640
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: so that's a bonus.

1641
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1642
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 1: I mean it's like we said earlier. Brandon has said

1643
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 1: it himself. You can never have enough defensive ends or

1644
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: never enough pass rushers, I believe was the direct quote. Yeah,

1645
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 1: Frank Clark. I wonder what his injury situation is because

1646
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: they've cropped up the last couple of years. I know

1647
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: he just was a cap casualty of the Chiefs. That's why, Yeah,

1648
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: he's not there anymore. What's his price, I think is

1649
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 1: the bigger question, And I don't know that it's come

1650
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: down enough for the Bills to be able to handle it.

1651
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest question mark there. From hot

1652
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 1: in Arizona, I still don't they have solved for Edmunds leaving.

1653
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: I don't see anyone that is currently on the team

1654
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 1: able to fill those shoes. That is one of the

1655
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 1: bigger questions going into the twenty twenty three season. Do

1656
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: they have a viable full time replacement for Tremaine Edmunds

1657
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,759
Speaker 1: on this roster? The competition will reveal who has chosen

1658
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,639
Speaker 1: to fill the role. Then the next question is can

1659
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 1: they fill it as well as Edmunds did.

1660
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think when you look at that linebacker spot,

1661
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 3: I think one thing that I thought of even before

1662
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 3: Tremaine Edmunds is leaving, is you hope that they can

1663
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 3: keep a guy like him. They couldn't because of the

1664
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 3: price tag that he got paid because of what he was.

1665
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 2: Worth, which that's amazing for Tremaine Edmunds.

1666
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,639
Speaker 3: I hope he has a great career however long he's

1667
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:44,799
Speaker 3: with the Chicago Bears.

1668
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 2: But then you think about, Okay.

1669
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 3: Then what is the value of that middle linebacker position

1670
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 3: according to how the coaching staff thinks of it within

1671
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:54,920
Speaker 3: the defense that they play.

1672
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 2: What's the most valuable?

1673
01:26:56,240 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 3: Where are they putting their money in to position groups

1674
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 3: across different defensive positions. And I start to look at

1675
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 3: not that the middle linebacker spot is not valuable. It

1676
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,719
Speaker 3: is very valuable in this defense because they're the captain

1677
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 3: of the defense. And if you're having two guys, you

1678
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 3: know you're playing in a four to two five A

1679
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 3: lot of the time. The two guys on the field

1680
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 3: need to be really good at what they're doing. But

1681
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 3: the fact that they didn't add a veteran or they

1682
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 3: didn't draft somebody a linebacker at the top of the draft,

1683
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 3: whether that was first, second, or third round. Then you wonder, Okay,

1684
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 3: is this position group is this defense going to look

1685
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 3: any different this year because they didn't add a veteran

1686
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 3: because they didn't spend big draft money on a middle linebacker,

1687
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:43,799
Speaker 3: position group or position player.

1688
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you also wonder is there a possibility that

1689
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: they use more than one player to fill that spot?

1690
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: Like does aj Klein play on quote unquote rundowns? And

1691
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 1: does Terrell Bernard or Bile inspector play on passing downs?

1692
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 1: Like There's a whole number of possibilities that could come

1693
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: out of the competition. We're all just gonna have to

1694
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 1: wait and to see how it all shakes out under

1695
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 1: this coaching staff. Break time here, Maddy and I wrap

1696
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: it up with some final thoughts on the tweet sheet

1697
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 1: next year on One Bill's Live presented by kaleide A Health,

1698
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Hills Radio. Some time left for some more

1699
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. Vanilla says Our edges on offense and defense

1700
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: need a lead talent. We need way better pass pro

1701
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 1: out of both offensive tackles. On defense, we need to

1702
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,640
Speaker 1: get home with four and without Miller, we have just

1703
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys no stud. I will disagree with

1704
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:41,120
Speaker 1: you there. I think Greg Russo has the potential to

1705
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,840
Speaker 1: be a stud. I think people forget this guy had

1706
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: four sacks in his first four games, then got the

1707
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain and he really wasn't right the rest

1708
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 1: of the year. If that guy can stay healthy, I

1709
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: expect a year three jump from him. And I'll say

1710
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,080
Speaker 1: this too, I think you Spencer Brown year three, I

1711
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: think you can expect a year three jump from him.

1712
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 1: We've seen so many players under this regime really take

1713
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:09,799
Speaker 1: off in year three, Dawson, Knox, Tarren Johnson, even Tremaine

1714
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 1: Edmonds to a certain extent, Josh Allen three. I mean,

1715
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, There's so many year three examples.

1716
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 1: I really hope if Spencer Brown and you know, Russeau

1717
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 1: can put it together, that'd be great.

1718
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1719
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 3: I expect steps up from them and big ears from them.

1720
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,600
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see both those younger players and what

1721
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 3: they can do.

1722
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 1: Maddie, Thanks for you help. The last couple of days,

1723
