Speaker 1: Tasker with you for another edition of One Bills Live.

4
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: As the countdown is on for the NFL Draft, and

5
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: we continue counting down the days, it's almost getting to

6
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: a point now where it's like, can we just get

7
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: there already? I wonder how the guys in the personnel

8
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: office upstairs are doing. You know, they're going through their

9
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: mocks now, like everybody takes a team and right Brandon

10
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: puts them through the mock. Draft exercises, trades are allowed,

11
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and they kind of see how the

12
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: thing would unfold, which, as we've said on this show,

13
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: is much more difficult when you're trying to predict what's

14
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: gonna still be there at pick twenty seven then if

15
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: you're picking eleventh, you know what I mean. But those

35
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: you put in Jalen Hyatt highlights and you know, sure

36
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: enough in this day and they just like presto changing.

37
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: I know that. And I'm just gonna say this. When

38
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: I used to have to get ready for the draft

39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: in like ninety six, right, that ain't there. You had

40
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: to work to get information and getting highlight reels or anything,

41
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: forget it for. You didn't have a chance. So yeah,

42
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: I am so now you're so done with this stuff.

43
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: And you were large and back then you were largely

44
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: beholden to what the draft guides because they had seen

45
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: all those guys. Sure you didn't, and you didn't have

46
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: a means by which to at least study. You couldn't

47
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: even disagree with them. Like there's no YouTube, there's no

48
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you didn't have any

49
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, and so you really had to kind

50
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: of read up more than anything else. Now you can

51
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: use your own eyeballs, right, and make a judgment as well.

52
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: You can use your own eyeballs to decide it's not

53
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: worth the effort well, or to decide to decide if

54
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: the guy you're reading knows what the hell he's talking about, right,

55
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: And much more dissent nowadays because everybody's you know, everybody's

56
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: got their own opinion, and then everybody has access and

57
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: most of us are complete amateurs at it. You just

58
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: look and said, yeah, okay, I like that, and I said, well,

59
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: why didn't he do this? You know that not knowing

60
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: anything about what he's asked to do or all the

61
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: ins and outs, especially with complicated it's the most complicated

62
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: pro sport out there and you and you got it.

63
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: So your opinions may be ridiculous for reasons you have

64
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: no idea about. So, but you gotta watch right, you

65
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: gotta say, okay, what because you hear somebody say, hey,

66
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy's gonna be great. He's a sleeper. Okay,

67
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: let me look at him. You're a fool. There's no

68
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: way this guy's even gonna get drafted, not even drafted. Right. So,

69
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so Brownie and I are sitting

70
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: there today, we're in we're in the midst of its day,

71
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: and we're just like done with it. Yeah, we're not

72
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: done with it obviously, but we're also having an interesting exercise.

73
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Not unlike Aaron Rodgers who willingly went into the dark

74
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: for four days. They're trying to fix an electrical issue

75
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: in our building, in our building, not far from our office.

76
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: And look, I'm look, I don't know the first thing

77
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: about being an electrician. It can't be always an easy

78
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: job when you're trying to troubleshoot something like that. So

79
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm not poking fun. It's just in our office. Have

80
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: been going on on and off for a week for

81
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: about four days. I mean, fortunately we have desk lamps

82
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: and they must be on a different circuit because they're working,

83
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: and our tellers are working, and the power to our laptop,

84
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: the laptops are working, the desk lamps our lights. But

85
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: the lights are going off and on every five or

86
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: ten minutes, and they've been doing it for they were

87
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: off completely for like two days. It's to the point

88
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: now we're just for a joke. I feel like walking

89
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: in one day with like one of those speed lunking

90
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: lamps right head lamps on my head. I don't think

91
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: they take too kindly, right I will. Obviously this issue

92
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: with the lights goes a little deeper than they thought.

93
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: It's not just our office. It's it's it's wide spread, right,

94
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: it's and it's going to the ground's crew and everything else.

95
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: So it's a I don't want I don't know if

96
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: it's major or not, but it's it's not an easy

97
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: one to figure out. I mean, we have desk lamps.

98
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: We can manage, but it's just funny because they're going

99
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: on and off every so often, and now it's just

100
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: to a point where Steve and I just look at

101
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: each other and like it happened again. Yeah, because when

102
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: it came on today, I thought, okay, yeah, because you know,

103
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: you always get this. You always project your own timeline

104
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: on whoever's working, like you know when it should be done,

105
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: having no idea, So you're thinking they popped on this.

106
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: They were off all day yesterday all day, and so

107
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: they come in this morning and hey the lights are on. Yeah, okay, cool,

108
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: they got are fixed. And then yeah, they're like, oh,

109
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: not so much. Should have it? I thought that would

110
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: be fixed. Yeah, it's it's minor. It's not. I mean,

111
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: like I said, we got desk lamps. So it's the

112
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: first world problem, no question, we have. We have excellent

113
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: mood lighting now in the in the office. Yeah that

114
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: everything else is working, it's just the lights. The televisions

115
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: are working, the outlets are working. They're on a different

116
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: it's not clearly on a different circuit. Yeah, clearly, but

117
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: still hopefully they um because it started in the grounds

118
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: crew office, that's where everything began. But what what they're

119
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: messing around with obviously impacts other areas of the field

120
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: house where our offices are. So they'll get it squared away.

121
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it, but we have to get

122
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: Steve to NFL news and notes, and there is AFC

123
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: East stuff to discuss, chiefly Steve with the New York Jets. Jets. Jets, Jets.

124
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: According to an Albert Breer report that appeared in his

125
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: mail bag, the Jets are interested in making a trade

126
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: work for DeAndre Hopkins. This is supposedly an all in

127
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: move to surround anticipated incoming quarterback Aaron Rodgers with as

128
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: much talent as possible. The way it reads to me,

129
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: this is more of a shot in the dark possibility,

130
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: and people are trying to connect dots because after Odell

131
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior elected to sign with Baltimore, now this has

132
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: become more of a possibility for the Jets. Now, I

133
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: don't understand how that's possible, Steve. I gotta say, as

134
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: I've gotten older, I've taken a much more discerning eye

135
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: to reports like this. I'm not trying to dismiss it

136
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: out of hand and just say not happening. But here

137
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: we know this. The Jets balked at Beckham's agent when

138
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: he took the fifteen million dollars offer from the Ravens

139
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: and said, do you want to beat it? Jets and

140
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: the Jets are like, yeah, we're good not dropping fifteen

141
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: mill on Beckham for one year. So I mean, I'm

142
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: sure people have looked at the books. Hopkins is up

143
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: for nineteen million dollar base this year fifteen next year.

144
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: And I know he said he would be willing to

145
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: negotiate his contract to facilitate a trade back when all

146
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: this came down last month. But here's the other problem.

147
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: The Jets right now, Steve are nine point eight million

148
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: under the cap and they haven't acquired Rogers in his

149
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: salary yet, right, How the hell are you making all

150
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: that work? Yeah, you can't. And and they said, you know, Obj, hey,

151
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: you're not gonna give a guy fifteen million bucks guaranteed

152
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: after an injury, after an injury history like he's had.

153
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: D Hops played nineteen games over the last two years.

154
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: He's been nicked up as well, and he's pushing. He's thirty,

155
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: as both guys are, so neither one of those guys

156
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: is completely healthier, has been completely healthy. Plus d Hops

157
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: had suspensions for PDS. There's all of that going on

158
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: as well. So it's not like one is more attractive

159
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: for any reason than the other. They're both big numbers

160
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: and they're both injury have injury concerns. So if all

161
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: of that's equal in my mind, yeah, but not to mention.

162
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the only way you're making this work is

163
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: if you're shipping out fat salaries cardinals in a trade.

164
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: The money doesn't work either way. You got you gotta

165
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: move money out if you're moving that in. Yeah, and

166
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: I get it now. D Hop is as tasty a

167
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: commodity as there is on the open market. Right now,

168
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: I say the open market. He's up for trade. But

169
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: the I mean the Jets really couldn't give up any

170
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: draft capital to the Arizona Cardinals for d Hop because

171
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: they might need that draft capital to close the deal

172
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. The reason they're trading for d HOP, right,

173
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they only got so many draft picks to

174
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: pit to choose from. They got to send players who

175
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: cost money to Arizona. If they're gonna make it work,

176
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: it's got to be dollars out for dollars in to

177
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: some degree, maybe not a wash, but to some degree

178
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: you've got to eat into that by sending money out

179
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: of off the books to bring his money on because okay,

180
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: maybe he takes even if he takes a five million

181
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: dollar haircut. He's right where Beckham was at fifteen million

182
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: for this year. He's making nineteen and a half this year. Yeah,

183
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they they've got some guy. The Jets have

184
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: some guys on their roster. They can move around. C J. Mosley,

185
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: Carl Lawson, Dwayne Brown, Jory Davis. They could move some

186
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: money around, but that's a that's a lot of money

187
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to move around that those guys, which

188
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: just maybe cover Aaron Rodgers, let alone DeAndre. I don't know.

189
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is all gonna work. I mean,

190
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: they're nine point eight under. They've got extra draft picks

191
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: this year, which may disappear with the Rogers deal. But

192
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: you gotta sign a draft class, right you know, you're

193
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: picking right in the middle of the round there, thirteen.

194
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: So look, I'm not a salary cap expert, but that's

195
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: looking like an awfully steep hill to climb and then

196
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: throwing d hop on top of it. Yeah. I don't know.

197
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I got all the respect in the

198
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: world for Albert Breer as a reporter, but it's hard

199
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: not to think it's more like spitballing, you know what.

200
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I don't know how you make that work.

201
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're doing. They may be posturing

202
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 1: so it gets out in the in or maybe the

203
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals are floating this out there saying, oh, right, Jets

204
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: are interested AFC East, so you may want to get

205
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: in on this, right right right. Maybe that's maybe they're

206
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: trying to put this, you know, put the spurs to

207
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: the Bills even you know what I mean, the Bills

208
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: have expressed interest and yeah, and they've got the quarterback

209
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: already in house. So yeah, I don't know that any

210
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: of it adds up. Well, because it doesn't add up,

211
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: you wonder what the motivation is and where it came from.

212
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: So I'm I would suspect Arizona, but it doesn't seem

213
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: to have very many legs. But it's but it's a

214
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: real thing. It's out there, so and Arizona's you know,

215
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: and let's not forget this. Albert Bridge just last week

216
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: floated it out there that the Cardinals may just outright

217
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: release Hopkins if they can't get a trade done, right,

218
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: So it's like, well, which side of the fencey on here?

219
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: You know, one week he's getting released, the other week

220
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna swing a tra all of a

221
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: sudden now six days later, Like what the heck is?

222
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard to put a lot of stock

223
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: in that report, I guess, is what I'm saying. I'm

224
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: not saying it's wrong. I'm just saying it's hard for

225
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: me to go along with it and all that it entails.

226
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: That's the tough part for me. The other part concerning

227
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: the Jets is the Aaron Rodgers deal, which has yet

228
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: to be consummated, and Adam Schefter from ESPN is reporting

229
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: that the two teams have not been in communication about

230
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: this potential deal for weeks. He said, quote, both sides

231
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: now appear to be dug in. My understanding is there

232
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been a whole lot of conversation of any over

233
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. But the two sides apparently

234
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: aren't willing to budge on where they currently sit in

235
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: the trade demands. Right now. People would think that the

236
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: draft would be some sort of way station for something

237
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: getting done, because if you're going to trade form, you

238
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: want capital, don't even want to be able to use

239
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: it as fast as you can. You want to support

240
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: your guy right now, Except the two rookies they drafted

241
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: last year, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubts. Right, So the

242
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: ARD's gone, So there is a perceived deadline there that

243
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: something's got to happen. Not really, Uh, there's both sides

244
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: of the story. The Green Bay Packers they don't have

245
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: to do anything until September. That then something does have

246
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: to happen because they're on the fifty eight million bucks.

247
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: They can, they're gonna, they're they gotta make that happen.

248
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: I wonder the Jets, however, they can kind of sit

249
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: tight because the offense that they're running in New York

250
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: is the same offense Aaron Rodgers runs, and they can

251
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: rely on his sixteen year career to like say, hey,

252
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: get up to speed pretty fast. So, um, they're not

253
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: in any hurry. So this draft date may come and

254
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: go without anything happening between the Jets and the Green Bay,

255
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: but something is gonna definitely have to happen. Now go ahead.

256
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, I want to get your thoughts on this.

257
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: If you're Joe Douglas and you want to wait, I

258
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: mean it would almost behoove you to wait past the

259
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: draft before making the deal official because because your draft

260
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: pick right now is thirteenth in the round, round one,

261
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: round two, etc. If you push this trade past the

262
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: draft now, the draft capital you offer is in twenty

263
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: twenty four, and with Aaron Rodgers on your roster, logic

264
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: would say your pick is not going to be as

265
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: good in twenty twenty four because you're gonna be a

266
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: better team with Rogers more wins. You'll be picking even

267
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: lower in the draft than you are now. So if

268
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: you're Joe Douglass, you might be saying to yourself, well,

269
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm not under any pressure to get this deal done,

270
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: because if I don't get it done by the draft,

271
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: I can use all the draft picks I have to

272
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: make my roster better around Aaron Rodgers and then worry

273
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: about giving up picks next year and probably worst picks

274
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: in the process. There is one thing I can think

275
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: of that may that is not an issue now, or

276
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be an issue now. That could be

277
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: if the closer September gets is that the Jets wait,

278
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're not gonna succumb to the demands. The

279
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: draft comes and goes, all these teams start to settle

280
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: in something happens or something doesn't happen on the way there,

281
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: and some other team gets involved. They're saying, listen, if

282
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: they're not interested in Aaron Rodgers, how about this. You

283
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: know we didn't like the way. We're not that kind

284
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: of you know, how about us throwing this in and

285
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: this inn? Can you make that happen? And Green Bay

286
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: says yeah, And then even though wearing Rodgers kicks and screams,

287
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: they don't care. Well, we heard that report last week

288
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: with San Francisco. Francisco supposedly kicking the tires. I don't

289
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: know if they've made an offer, but think about it,

290
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: they're called because if you wait, if you're the Jets,

291
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: and you wait, and some of these other teams start

292
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: to go like, I don't know, man, I don't know

293
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: if we're ready, what's it cost for him? And that's

294
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: next year's draft, in twenty twenty four draft. Let's do it,

295
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: let's make the let's pull the trigger. And then the

296
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: Jets are holding the bag. So you've got two sides

297
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: that are dug in here, and each of them obviously

298
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: feel they have some measure of leverage, because if they didn't,

299
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: they would have made the deal already. Like they still

300
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: think that I can get what I want here, so

301
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: I can wait, right and I don't have to worry.

302
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, what is that one underlying, determining

303
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: aspect of this whole thing that convinces the Jets we

304
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: can wait, buddy, it's gonna get done. For the Jets,

305
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: it's probably the money that Green Bay would have to

306
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: pay if they can't get them off their roster by September.

307
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: For the Packers, though, it's a much different thing in

308
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: my eyes, And you tell me what you think for

309
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: the Packers. Brian Gutenkounst is convinced that the Jets will

310
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: ultimately make this deal because they can't draft another quarterback

311
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: and fail because if they do, Robert Sala and Joe

312
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: Douglas are g O and E gone. They need a

313
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback to save their jobs. They don't get Rogers,

314
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: they have another middling season. They're suddenly on the hot

315
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: seat because that's year three with Sala and Douglas and

316
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: no playoffs. That's a problem. Is that enough for gutencous

317
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: to be hanging his hat on He's they need a

318
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: veteran They can't draft another one in miss Or they're

319
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: definitely gone. Sure, I get that, you think, Yeah, I

320
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: mean there's there. Yeah, I think he's hanging his hat on.

321
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think Gutenco is just sitting there

322
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: going listens. He's a first ballot Hall of Famer already.

323
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: We're not letting him go unless we get something for him.

324
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: He's a two one year Two years ago, he was

325
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: back to back MVP. Yeah, you're not getting him for

326
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 1: less than what we're calling for. I don't know. And

327
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, the Jets should be incentivize. They

328
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: hired Nate Hackett, his buddy offensive coordinator. I just both

329
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: these clubs have a lot of huge reasons to make

330
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: this deal. But the Packers are under no deadline except

331
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: for the September deadline. That's and I'll say this too,

332
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: brilliant by the Packers in formulating this contract the way

333
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: they did, because they could foresee how this was gonna

334
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: work at the end when they could they waited all

335
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: the way through the offseason and not have to give

336
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: him a dime. Yeah, it's like to have a roster bonus.

337
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: It's March twentieth, right, It's brilliant, It's really brilliant. And

338
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: and Aaron took the money because it was all guaranteed.

339
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: He didn't care, you know how tough it is for

340
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: what other what other unnamed next team he's gonna play for?

341
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: How why does he care about that? They're gonna pay

342
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: him anyway, it's all guaranteed, or the Packers are gonna

343
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: pay him. So it was brilliantly devised by the Packers

344
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: to have this way far out date where they can

345
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: push this trade all the way back into the season

346
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: or virtually. I'm just wondering what each side is hanging

347
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: their head on, like, we don't have to offer anything

348
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: else because they're gonna blink. Yeah, and now you got

349
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: a staring contest. Yeah, Andrew Brandon, guy friend of the show,

350
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: who he said, you know, neither one of these teams

351
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: is not unusual. There's neither one of these teams or

352
00:20:54,119 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: under any pressure to make this happen. The Green Bay

353
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: certainly can wait until September. That's the only hard date

354
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: that's out there. The Jets can wait as long as

355
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: it takes. And and basically too with your theory about

356
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: the um jobs being on the line. The longer it

357
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: takes to consummate the deal, the more leeway they have

358
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: in the way it begins of it slows start. Wow,

359
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: they couldn't make the trade until September. That it's not

360
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: their fault, whatever whatever, But certainly this this is gonna

361
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: be made at the eleventh hour. The question is when

362
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: is the elem it's the eleventh it's not. It might

363
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: not be until until. People think that's the first potential deadline. Yeah,

364
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna until August or September. August or September is

365
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Yeah, I remember, I remember in twenty

366
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: eleven when they had the lockout. People are like, oh, well,

367
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: when's something going to happen. People are like a week

368
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: before or training camp, and that's what there's a deadline.

369
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: Our good friend Kim Jones, formerly of NFL Network, now

370
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: working for Newsday down on Long Island, is reporting that

371
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: se Quon Barkley will not be signing his franchise tag

372
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: with the Giants, which obviously means he is not eligible

373
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: to participate when the Giants offseason program begins next week.

374
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: The Bills off season program begins next week as well.

375
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: You have no contract, you cannot participate. So if he

376
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: doesn't sign it he doesn't have a contract. So what

377
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: that means going forward, I have to wait and see.

378
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: But he could he could not sign that. I think

379
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: all the way up to middle of July, I want

380
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: to say, or maybe I'm thinking of person that signs.

381
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: They can negotiate a long term contract until July fifteenth.

382
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: He can just not sign it. But I do think

383
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: there's a deadline to sign or not sign, and then

384
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna not play. He's got he's got to

385
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: enhance his value for free agency next year conceivably. Yeah,

386
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean if he if he doesn't play, he's leaving

387
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: ten million bucks on the table. And we saw so

388
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: how that worked for Bell did that, and how it's

389
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: worked for Lamar's fourteen million dollars. He's never going to

390
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: get back, um Lamar, same kind of thing. Now. Lamar

391
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: is also one of the franchise tenure non exclusive. Um,

392
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play this year, he'll never get the

393
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: thirty three million back. Never. And that's an issue. And

394
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: that's and that's the hammer that NFL front offices hold

395
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: because they're here forever you as a player or not.

396
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you're on a very short timeline,

397
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: right and some young players don't realize that maybe in

398
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: their third or fourth season, but they do buy their

399
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: fifth the six they're like, man, man, I'm halfway through already. Yeah.

400
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: If I'm lucky, yeah yeah, if I if I can,

401
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm lucky, I can keep going. Yeah. Um, there's a

402
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: lot of franchise tags out there. I think only one

403
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: has been signed, and I can't now I'm gonna have

404
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: to go. I gotta go. Look. Most of the franchise

405
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: tenders that have been given to players the designations have

406
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: not been signed. Most of them have not. Lamar hasn't

407
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: signed his, as we just heard say, Quan hasn't signed his.

408
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: There's a couple of others out there. Um, it's you know,

409
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: so all these all these guys, they're waiting there because

410
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: one of the reasons is you don't have to go

411
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: through the OTAs and all the offseason stuff. You don't

412
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: want to. I think Tony Pollard's the only guy that

413
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: signed his that's right, signed the other day. Tony Pollard's

414
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: has the only guy that signed one of the like

415
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: six guys or seven guys, Josh Jacobs, Evan Ingram, Deron Payne,

416
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders, nobody signed them except for Pollard some other

417
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: around the NFL News to discuss the Devin White trade

418
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: request that we mentioned on the Area yesterday as it

419
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: was first breaking. The Bucks have no intention of trading

420
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: Devin White. They know his former fifth pick in the

421
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: draft in twenty nineteen, and his situation is similar to

422
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: what we saw with Tremaine Edmonds at this time last

423
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: year that the Bills had picked up his fifth year option,

424
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: so he played under the fifth year option and an

425
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: extension could not be brokered. And then the free agent

426
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: market was there and Tremaine, which is his right, decided

427
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: to maximize his value in the market. He did. He

428
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: got seventeen million a year. He was really the only

429
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: linebacker that got gigantic money, not counting Roquan Smith, who

430
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: signed an extension with Baltimore after he was traded from

431
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: Chicago before the offseason even began, got twenty million a year.

432
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: But aside from those two guys, nobody made gigantic money

433
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: at the linebacker position. And now Devin White's like, well,

434
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: Tremaine Emmon's got paid, but where's my extension? Right? And

435
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Bucks value the linebacker position

436
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: in that way. So he's on a fifty year option

437
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: and he's kind of stuck. Yeah, and they're gonna probably

438
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: just let him ride it out this year and then

439
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, go get your value and free agency. Best

440
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 1: to luck to you. That's probably how the Bucks are

441
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: going to play it. So Devin White has a trade

442
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: option for other teams that need a middle linebacker, including

443
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: the Bills, does not look to be there. And I

444
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: don't know that this would have made sense for the

445
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: Bills anyway, because you're right back in the same situation

446
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: you were in last year with Tremaine. You got a

447
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 1: guy on the last year of his contract, fifty year option,

448
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: he wants an extension. You can't afford what that's gonna cost,

449
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: nor do you maybe value the position at a rate anyway,

450
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: And so now you're just gonna have a guy for

451
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: another year. I mean, he's a good player, but you

452
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: might be better off getting a young guy that you

453
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: know you're gonna have for four years just for continuity's

454
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: sake on your defense. So I think he ultimately stays

455
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: there and plays out the year and whatever. Yeah, I

456
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: get that. Going back to where you were. I'm going

457
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: back to where you were just a year ago with Tremaine.

458
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: But that doesn't I've told you that, that doesn't bother me.

459
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: There's always gonna be good players out there in free agency.

460
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: The one thing you always forget is that everybody else

461
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: is gonna lose guys too, and go find one. So

462
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: you've got the entire draft and the free agent market

463
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: to go out and find another replacement for a guy,

464
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: and particularly for a guy if you if it's like

465
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: running back, middle linebacker, or name any other position you want,

466
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: you can get it. You can get a guy to

467
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: do it cheaper. And if you don't prioritize the position anyway,

468
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: all the better. Yeah, So I'm I don't have a

469
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: problem doing that. But yeah, Devin, they're not gonna trade

470
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: Devin White anyway, and plus you don't I mean, they

471
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: may not like the way he looks on film either.

472
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean he's been said he's like not that instinctive,

473
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: and you know he's numb five overall pick. He's a

474
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: super athlete. I mean, his athleticism is the main reason

475
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: he makes the plays that he does. He is a

476
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: freak athlete, right, but he's you know, yeah, it's not

477
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: all pro. Yeah, I think he's made the Pro Bowl

478
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but not all Pro You are

479
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: correct quickly down the list of pre draft visits which

480
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: are hot and heavy. Here with a couple of weeks

481
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: before the draft. Kentucky QB Will Levis visiting the Bucks today,

482
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: has the Falcons tomorrow. How's Desmond Ridder feeling about being

483
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: the starting quote? Being named the starting quarterback for Atlanta?

484
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: They got Will Levis on a pre draft visit, and

485
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: you know that your team has the eighth, eighth pick

486
00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: and round one. Have fun with that. Penn State Cornerie

487
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: Porter Junior, he's visiting the Panthers. Mississippi State corner Emmanuel Forbes.

488
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: He met with the Patriots and is now going to

489
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: meet with the Bengals. So they're both of those teams

490
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: in the AFC looking to improve their secondaries. Georgia defensive

491
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: tackle Jaln Carter visiting with the Raiders today, who hold

492
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: the seventh pick, so that's interesting. Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin

493
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: Mims considered a Day two pick meeting with the Giants today.

494
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: And then TCU running back Kendre Miller, who was instrumental

495
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: Steve in TCU's run to the National title game. He's

496
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: met with the Chargers in the RAMS, and now he

497
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: reportedly has top thirty visits this week with the Giants,

498
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and the Bills. Running back Kendre Miller. Kendray

499
00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: Miller looks go. Who you know is probably I don't

500
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: even think he's in your top one hundred necessarily, So

501
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: you're talking about an early Day three guy. Perhaps, I mean,

502
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: maybe somebody likes him at the end of day two.

503
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, but in all likelihood of Day three guy.

504
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: Nice player though, was really helpful to that TCU offense

505
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: got nicked up at the end of the year. If

506
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: I remember right, I don't even know if he played.

507
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: I might be mixing him up with the other running

508
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: back for TCU, but there was one of their top

509
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: two backs was injured and did not play in the

510
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: title game. It was unfortunate bad ankle injury. Right, But

511
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: that is around the NFL presented by Kalid to Health,

512
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,840

Speaker 1: Saturday evening, day three of the draft. We gotta get there, man,

527
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna pop like a colonel of popcorn

528
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: in the microwave right now. I'm just ready to go

529
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: for this draft. But let's go to the phones and

530
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: see what you think. At eight oh three oh five

531
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

532
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: the toll free number to get on boards, they'll have

533
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: a couple of open lines for you. But leading us

534
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: off today is Jeff in NYC. What do you got

535
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: for us? Jeff, Hey, guys, it's great to hear from me.

536
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: It's my first time call on. I love the show,

537
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: listen all the time. I really appreciate it. I got

538
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: to say, the position for me has got to be

539
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: the middle linebacker. I have no issue with selecting either

540
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: Campbell or the guy from Arkansas at late first round,

541
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: whether he's your first round grade or not. And in

542
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: coalition with it, I'm every year we get to the

543
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: end of the draft, we get to start a training camp,

544
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: we start talking about the six seventh round guys who

545
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: there's no hole to make the fifty three. So I'm

546
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: wondering how much stock you would put into using some

547
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: of your late round capital to solidify the couple of

548
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: big holes that we have either middle linebacker, wide receiver,

549
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: offensive line, defensive tackle, which I think are the four

550
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: key positions to bolster and use some of that capital

551
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: because those guys are going to be a practice squad

552
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: and are they really gonna I went through the roster

553
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: yesterday and just could not outside of wide receiver possibly linebacker.

554
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: Couldn't see a six or seventh round guy crack in

555
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: the fifty three. But what we asked, Yeah, yeah, that's

556
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: a valid It's a valid point, Jeff, and thanks for

557
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: the call. Appreciate it, thanks for calling and listening. They

558
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: don't have a seven this year. That's number one, So

559
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: they only have six picks that they're bringing to the

560
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: table in the first place. That's number one. Number two. Yeah,

561
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: it's great to talk about giving up a six or

562
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: a five, but they don't help you tremendously in terms

563
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: of the value that they hold. If you're moving up

564
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: two or three spots, yeah, they could help you, but

565
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: given somebody two oh five and round six, it's not

566
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: moving the needle much. I get the premise because we

567
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: witnessed it even two years ago. Think about this. The

568
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: Bills had three six round picks and a seventh a

569
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and they drafted Rashad wild Goose,

570
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Tyler bass Jack Anderson the offensive lineman. They put wild

571
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: Goose and Anderson on the actor squad. They both get poached,

572
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: They get poached off and put on fifty three man

573
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: rosters elsewhere Philadelphia and Washington. I want to say, initially

574
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: or maybe the Jets for wild Goose, But when you're

575
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: Brandon being you're like, well, son of a gun, what's

576
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: the point of having those if I can't even hold

577
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: onto them? And this roster is advanced, to Jeff's point,

578
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: to a point where, yeah, that would make sense. I

579
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: would just six picks though, and hard against the cap.

580
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 1: You might keep them to hold on to cheap labor

581
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: that your hope's good enough to make the roster, right,

582
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: you could at least you got a four and a five.

583
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: But they're only seven picks apart. It's one thirty one

584
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: thirty seven. One thirty seven came from the Arizona Cardinals,

585
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: so you could make an argument to those could both

586
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: be considered you know, fourth rounders or four fourth and

587
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: a fifth that close together. Okay, maybe you package them

588
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: up and flip a couple of spots. I get what

589
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: you're saying about the roster being tough to make. They

590
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: will lost three games in the regular season last year

591
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: by a total of eight points. Then they're gonna be

592
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: really good this year. The roster's gonna be hard to make,

593
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: particularly given the offensive line moves they've made and the

594
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: ones you anticipate them moving at the top of the draft,

595
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: the names, the positions you could get at the top

596
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: of the draft. It's gonna be hard for somebody to

597
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: come in and make the roster. Yeah, the positions that

598
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: I think we can call I don't think we would

599
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: call them thin, but could use some reinforcements defensive tackle

600
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: because of the expiring contract situation. Right then you can

601
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: make an argument for corner because behind Trudevia's Tarn and

602
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: Kier might be Benford. So Rand Neil is a special

603
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: teamer that can play corner. Do you know what I'm saying.

604
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: But you could use reinforcements there. Tight end you have

605
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: to could use help there. Offensive line you never have enough,

606
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: to Steve's point, as he says it all the time.

607
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: And then safety, I mean there are positions where you

608
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: could say, man, we could use somebody there, you know,

609
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: at least in the pipeline, you know, maybe not front

610
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: line three. You've got three sought quality safeties and then

611
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: you've got the guys that have been here before, cam

612
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: Lewis and Damar if he's so desires so and you

613
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: know with the Benford and what he's doing, and if

614
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: you're corner back there. So safety is a little bit

615
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: further down the list, But yeah, I mean there's always

616
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: you always need good player. Good players make you better.

617
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: There will be some players available out there is what

618
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: there still are some players available out there in free

619
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: agency and they're waiting for the right move or the

620
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: right spot. The thing always get into with the draft,

621
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: and I keep going back to a time and time again,

622
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: you can get guys that turn into really good players

623
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: at any point in the draft. At any point. Yeah,

624
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: the guys you get from the free agent market, you

625
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: know those guys there, you've seen him play in the

626
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: NFL or not play in the NFL when a team

627
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: that you think they should be playing for, you've seen

628
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: him playing systems that are that they should be able

629
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: to play in. If they can't play, they can't play right.

630
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: But the draft, there's always that unknown, like maybe you

631
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: get a guy that all of a sudden he flourishes,

632
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: because that's a possibility. It's a projection, but it's an

633
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: unknown projection where you would logic would tell you that

634
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: you know a little bit more about a guy that's

635
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: played in the league, that's still a free agent after

636
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: the draft and probably costs less. So even though you're

637
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: tight against the cap, maybe you can still fit a

638
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: guy on a one year deal who's willing to take

639
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: the veteran minimum just to maximize his value for next year.

640
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: By getting on the field this year in some capacity.

641
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones, though, and see what

642
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: you think. What position can't be absent from Buffalo's twenty

643
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: twenty three draft class. When all is said and done,

644
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: after night three to rank in Woodstock, we go, what

645
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 1: do you got? Frank? Are you doing? Chris Steve? You're

646
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: my Hall of Famer Steve, you always will be a

647
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: hell of a ball player. Than appreciate it. I had

648
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: a couple of comments, real click my direct TV. They're

649
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: taking my NFL ticket away. I'm sure you guys are

650
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: aware of scrowing a YouTube or something. My question is, though,

651
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: do you guys know if they're going to keep your

652
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: show on direct TV? Because I get your show here

653
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: the one Bill's drives, thank God. Other than that, I

654
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't hear nothing about Buffalo chucking thing is yeah, I'm serious,

655
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: I get it. I listen. I live in a great town,

656
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: but all it is is pott and hippies. Oh, very

657
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: few football fans. My second My second thing is I

658
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: think wide receiver. You get Josh that Hopkins or another

659
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: great wide receiver, he'll be back to the old Josh.

660
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: Thirty forty points a game. That's what his game is,

661
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: that's what he does, that's what they were, that's what

662
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: they were born to do. And I thought Singletary did

663
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good job. Too bad he did it to

664
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: towards the end of the season, but tomorrow he got

665
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: the ball the better he did. Um, And I guess

666
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: that's it. And I love your guys show. Hopefully I

667
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: get to keep it U And now I got to

668
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: figure out how I'm going to can do the YouTube

669
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: thing so I can watch the Buffalo Bills. Otherwise all

670
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: I see is Jets and Giants. Yeah, it ain't all right.

671
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: Thanks Frank, you guys have a great week, and again

672
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: I love your show. Take care of guys. Thanks. Yeah. Fortunately,

673
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: we have nothing to do with the NFL ticket. It's

674
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: not so much our show. It's it's MSG station well right,

675
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: and it's available on direct TV and will continue to

676
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: be so as far as we understand, So you should

677
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 1: be good to go, Frank and Woodstock. Um. The game

678
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: pass is different right, um, which I think there is

679
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: a video element to that. Can you watch live though

680
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't maybe not. The game pass, the premium, the

681
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: NFL Sunday ticket, the Sunday ticket, it's going to YouTube.

682
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to flip it over probably get to YouTube.

683
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: And and that's hard for people who don't use internet television. Um, yeah,

684
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: you'd be watching on a laptop. You bet. You don't

685
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: have a TV. Yeah, that there is that, but it's

686
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: still gonna be you know, a couple hundred bucks a

687
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: year for ever, Yes, for every sort nine on YouTube

688
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: was the number I saw, three hundred forty nine bucks

689
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: M receiver. Yes. I think a lot of people, a

690
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of fans, are of the opinion that the Bills

691
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: cannot come out of this draft without a receiver among

692
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: the draft class. I'm wondering how long fans are willing

693
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: to wait for that receiver to get picked, Because if

694
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: we get to the latter stages of Day two and

695
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: the receiver has not been taken yet, I think, well, no,

696
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: I would hope not, but I think some fans will

697
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: be getting a little the anxiety level will be going.

698
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: All right, they got picked twenty seven fifty nine ninety

699
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: one one thirty one thirty seven and two O one

700
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: two O five, I'm sorry, two O five, And so

701
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven fifty nine ninety one one thirty one

702
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: thirty seven and two oh five we take down to

703
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: ninety one Steve and the receiver hasn't been taken yet. Yeah,

704
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: there'll be people are gonna be gripping a little bit. Yeah,

705
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: they'll be Yeah, I'll be all right. Sorry, they're gonna

706
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 1: They're not gonna one thing about it. They are not

707
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: going to pick a guy because Bill's fans are clamoring

708
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: they won't. They're gonna do it because this he stands

709
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: out on their board. Yeah, and the value he's the

710
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: best guy left. So especially down there, the further down

711
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: the board you go, the less the less athletic, and

712
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: smaller they are. They you know, you need big athletic

713
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: guys at the top of the draft. That's because they

714
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: measure them and you can't hide those. But then in

715
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: the middle of the draft and the bottom of the draft,

716
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: you need guys who have something special inside of him

717
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 1: more so than the measurables. Yeah, that's what they look for.

718
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: So because those guys always improve, you know, you get

719
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: a guy and that's where the Bills have proven those

720
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: guys at the middle and the bottom of the draft,

721
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: the evaluation goes is more skewed to the what's he

722
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: got in here? Side of it rather than what we

723
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: can measure. They're hard in their head because you get

724
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: a guy who tries harder, works harder, is more committed, smarter, whatever, whatever, whatever,

725
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: Those guys always improve. Those guys are always going to

726
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: get better and better and better and better, particularly when

727
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: you get him in your system and your techniques and

728
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: all that. They work hard at getting it right where

729
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: it's sometimes, and we've all seen it, the guys who

730
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: have all the measurables, who've never had to do that.

731
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: I think I'm still okay, I'm gonna be fine. Right. Well,

732
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: you get a guy and all of a sudden, you

733
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: get a guy who is big enough and fast enough

734
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: and strong enough, but he's just got well he's missing.

735
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: He was playing it in a Poe dunk you off

736
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: in the nether regions and you know, nobody knows where

737
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: he was from, nobody parts unknown. He shows up and

738
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: he's he's like, well he's big and strong, look at him. Yeah, okay,

739
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: but where who is he again? Where'd he play? And

740
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: then he comes in and all of a sudden he

741
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: starts to flourish because he's that kind of guy. And uh,

742
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: you find a guy like a Matt Milano and a

743
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: tarn Johnson and you know Levi Wallace is an undrafted

744
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: rookie free agents Tyler Bass. Those kind of players turn

745
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: up at the middle of the bottom of the draft

746
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: because there are too many question marks about him. And

747
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: when you get those guys that have a ton of

748
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: questions about him, when they start ticking off those questions

749
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 1: and going, yeah, I got that one, yes, yes, yeah,

750
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: you get you start answering those questions and they're all, yes,

751
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: you got a really good player, but he didn't know

752
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,959
Speaker 1: it when you drafted them all the projection. We gotta

753
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: take a break here, but Alex in Pittsburgh stay right

754
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: where you are. You will lead us off in the

755
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: next segment as we are asking you what position can't

756
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: be absent from Buffalo's twenty twenty three draft class. Open

757
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,479
Speaker 1: lines for you at eight oh three, five fifty. It's

758
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: wide open for your phone calls. Next here on one

759
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Stay tuned all right back to your phone

760
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: calls here on one Bill's Live. What position can't be

761
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: absent from Buffalo's twenty twenty three draft class. As promised,

762
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: we lead off with Alex in Pittsburgh, what do you

763
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: got for us. Alex, Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Um,

764
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: I have to, I have too. If I made The

765
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: first one is very obvious to me. It's the middle linebacker,

766
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: and um, if he knows when Edmins is off the

767
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: field is a very note and I don't have much

768
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: faith in the two guys backing him up. And obviously

769
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: I believe that Bee knows this. And my second one

770
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: you can go with like receiver or any other position.

771
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: My second one is defensive tackle, just because we have

772
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: guys on expiring contracts one year deals in them. I

773
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: know McDermott likes to road paid his guys in and out,

774
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: but that's another one. I think it's very important for

775
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: the bill to get younger at two. And I'll hang

776
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: up and listen to you. Guys. Have to say thanks

777
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: again to take him my calls. Yeah, sure, thanks, Alex. Yeah,

778
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: he's you're right. I mean you can't and I know

779
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk out of both sides of

780
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: my mouth. That doesn't really scare me having guys, a

781
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: bunch of guys at one position on expiring contracts, but

782
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: you can't ignore it either. So Chris is right, he

783
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: knows four of the four defensive tackles on the Bill's

784
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 1: roster right now. This is the last year or the

785
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 1: only year of their contract. This time next year, none

786
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: of these guys haven't hit. There's a chance that none

787
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: of them are on the roster because they're all free agents.

788
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: They're all gonna be out. So you got you're gonna

789
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: have no defensive tackles, so you can't ignore it. I'm

790
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: not really up, you know, I'm not worried about it,

791
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: but I get it. You can't ignore it either, so

792
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: I would be surprised. I would not be surprised if

793
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: they get a guy. My only problem with it is

794
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: to get a guy that can really play. Despite what

795
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: I said in the last segment, more so than maybe

796
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: any other position in football, a defensive tackle or nose

797
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: guard has to have some measurables. One is he's got

798
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: to tip the scales. Those guys don't just fall off trees.

799
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to find a guy with a body and

800
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: a physique built for interior defensive line play in the

801
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: National Football League. So if you're gonna get one of

802
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: those guys, my thought is you need to go high

803
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: in the draft to get a good one sidered a

804
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: great defensive tackle class. There is an alpha male in

805
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, and there's another pretty darn good one in

806
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: Brian Brazi, but the depth of the class is not

807
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: there right at least that's the general consensus on the position.

808
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: So neither one of those guys will be available at

809
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: twenty seven. If he is. If they are, one of

810
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: them is, it's going to be brass. But that's my

811
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: take on it. I don't have a problem taking a

812
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, but I think if you're going to get

813
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: one who can actually play, I think you've gotta go

814
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: you gotta go high. Yeah. The interesting even despite what

815
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: I said last segment about you know the character and

816
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: the you know the guy's ability to improve, the interesting

817
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: thing last season was the Bills kept five defensive ends,

818
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: four defensive tackles on the active fifty three, and then

819
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: obviously they had guys on the practice squad. Eliankoup, Branch Bryant,

820
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: people like that. If you draft one this year, somewhere

821
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: on day two even early day three, you're probably keeping

822
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: five defensive tackles and maybe only four defensive ants on

823
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 1: the roster. Made. That's what I'm saying because you're not

824
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: gonna draft a kid in the fourth round and put

825
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: them on the practice squad. You'll get poached unless well,

826
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got four guys you can protect every week.

827
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, I get it. It

828
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: was it was just the scales, and I totally get that. Um.

829
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like you won't have bodies to

830
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: line up, but yeah, certainly, if you're gonna put them

831
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: on the fifty three and make sure they're there, one

832
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:42,919
Speaker 1: of your defensive ends are gonna have to sit down

833
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: or be deactive or moved or moved. So you've got

834
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: that puts because you just got loss, got Vaughan, you

835
00:48:53,080 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 1: signed Shack Rousseau, Bash him Epanessa. That's five pretty pretty

836
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: prominent names. Um. It makes it makes it a juggling act.

837
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: It does. Yes, if they take a defensive tackle, now,

838
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: you could do something between now and then to mitigate that.

839
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: But you know, figure it out when it all comes

840
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: out in the wash. You may go through a little

841
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: training camp. Last week, at training camp, somebody gets hurt,

842
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: they're out for the year, and now now your surplus

843
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: has become no longer app It's possible too that when

844
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: you get when it shakes out, you've got a positional need.

845
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: You could go ten, five dts, five defensive ends, but

846
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: that's only because you've got you're gonna carry like five linebackers, yeah,

847
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: four linebackers, or two tight ends or you know you're

848
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna two tight ends a rob from another position, right, um,

849
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, or like three safeties that kind of thing.

850
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: So um, there's that possibility where you could squeeze another

851
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 1: roster spot into those spots to those places. But given

852
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: what happened last year with injuries, you're gonna you're gonna

853
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: be juggling, you know, twenty two objects trying to keep

854
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: it in the air with the roster spots. So yeah,

855
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: we'll see. We have to take a break here, but

856
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,839

00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: we do have a podcast. I guess that's what he

911
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: was talking about. Yeah, well he was saying, get it

912
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: with the five presidents. That would be Oh my gosh, yeah,

913
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: that's company gold. He could you could. Yeah, if you

914
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: could do that, nobody can afford to do that, didn't

915
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: we just put it that way? Well, yeah, I wouldn't

916
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: show up for nothing. That is corect They're a little

917
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: too steep ye on the budget. We would never be

918
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: able to financially make that work. Um, but yeah, yes,

919
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: you're right. Steve is he is a card man. He

920
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: comes up with some stuff and I'm like, that just

921
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: come out of his mouth. Like. People still talk to

922
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: us locally here about when Steve described Aaron Rodgers as

923
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: a wild donkey. They think it's the funniest thing that

924
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: they've ever heard in terms of describing a human. Yeah. Um,

925
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: but it is remarkably you know, it's right, or we

926
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: call him that's right. That's the other one. He's a

927
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: weird No, he does, has nobody in his life. He

928
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: just shows up places. He definitely has a tryang. He's

929
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: got one of those Merlin headsactly definitely has what it is.

930
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: He's kid. He's he's got some powers, no question about it.

931
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 1: But nobody understands him. Oh my god. Yes, well I

932
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: appreciate it though. That's nice, Joe, that was very nice here.

933
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: We appreciate the bouquets you were throwing at us. That's

934
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: very nice. And we thank you for your listenership. Um,

935
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully we've got some uh some good wise cracks

936
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: to keep your So let's move along from him to

937
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: Mike and Ken Moore. Next. What do you got for

938
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: his Mike Fella's first time call a long time listener.

939
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: You guys are wonderful. It's a tough call to beat

940
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 1: that last one. But I'm gonna say offensive line. Okay,

941
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: you know you need to protect your franchise. I understand

942
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: that this draft is very deep on the offensive line.

943
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say offensive line, but real quick, just wanted

944
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: to give a shout out. I got two friends that

945
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: listen to you guys all the time. They're in North Carolina.

946
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: Bob and Patsy listen to you guys, love you, Thank

947
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: you so much for your time and thanks for the show. Great.

948
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: Yeah for you. Before you run, Mike, let me ask

949
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: you when you say offensive line, are you leaning tackle

950
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 1: or guard there or center? Where are you right tackle?

951
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: To be honest, look, you know, I feel like, you know,

952
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: Dawkins has solidified that left side. I think that right

953
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: side is a little shaky, and uh, you know, there's

954
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of good prospects. You know.

955
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,720
Speaker 1: Where I'm looking right now is I'm looking at somebody

956
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: like Darnell Wright, you know, somebody like that. Maybe Matthew

957
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: burs around in the second round, somebody like that. But

958
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, if you want to maybe

959
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: jump up a little bit and grab one of these

960
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: guys might be a good idea to protect their franchise. Yeah,

961
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: all right, good call, Mike, Thanks for it, appreciate it,

962
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: and thanks for listening. Yeah, I mean I would lean

963
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: tackle two because they've solidified the guard position in free agency,

964
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: Steve with David Edwards, you know, and Connor McGovern. They

965
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: bring Butcker back for depth, so and you have Bates

966
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: under contract, so you're kind of solidified the guard spot.

967
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: And he brought in some competition as well. So, and

968
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: I know you resigned David Questenberry, you know, but he's

969
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: a little longer in the tooth now. You could probably

970
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: use some youth in the pipeline there. I totally agree

971
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: with it, and I've said it before too not I

972
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: don't want to disparage one position over another, but if

973
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: you've got to tackle, it's easier for a tackle to

974
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: move down inside and play guard than it is for

975
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: a guard to move out and play tackle. If you're

976
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: big enough and long enough and have the link to

977
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: play tackle, it's even easier to play guard because there's

978
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: less space to work in down there. So not that saying,

979
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, automatically you can play guard if you're a tackle,

980
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: but you can always it's easier to convert that direction.

981
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: So I'm with him. I've always been you can't go

982
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: wrong drafting an offensive lineman, particularly if you get one

983
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: that can really play. There's you got to have five

984
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: of them on the field all the time, every snap,

985
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: five of them. Almost half your offensive roster has to

986
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: be offensive lineman. The better those guys are the ripple

987
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,959
Speaker 1: effect is real. As it gets out to the edges

988
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: of the formation. They help everybody. The wide receivers have

989
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: more time to get open. The quarterback stays upright and healthier.

990
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: The running backs have more space. You know in crucial

991
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: downs and yardage and goal line they don't they can

992
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: be dominant. There's just no it's just a no lose

993
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: situation for me. If you go offensive line always as

994
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: a fallback, right, And I would say if it's a fallback,

995
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: like if you look at a lot of people's top

996
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: one hundreds, you know that rank these players as far

997
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: as offensive line goes, you're looking at about eight offensive

998
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: tackles and about six guards five six guards. So that's

999
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: fourteen players that you can choose from conceivably on the

1000
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: first two days of the draft to help your offensive line.

1001
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: So is it enormously plentiful. No, But there's some quality

1002
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: through there that can be had. You just got to

1003
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: see if the value lines up when the bills are

1004
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: on the clock. Be interesting. But I would lean tackle

1005
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: more than guard because, as you not only because of

1006
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: your point, but because they've already solidified guard in a

1007
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,479
Speaker 1: big way with free agency to this point. And here's

1008
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: here's what you gotta do. You go down, you say

1009
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: there's fourteen offensive linemen, you know that that could go

1010
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 1: high or first two days. First two days, you got

1011
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: say there's four quarterbacks and maybe the probably five okay,

1012
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: five qbs, and then it's really thin at wide out

1013
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: for guys to go that are having first round grades,

1014
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: maybe say just two or three, two and three, They

1015
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna start populating there. But what I'm saying is

1016
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: by the time you get down to pick number twenty seven,

1017
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: oh okay, the thing that's gonna give you a chance

1018
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: at one of those offensive linemen is the fact that

1019
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of edge rushers that are pretty good,

1020
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: and there's fourteen offensive linemen before you get down to

1021
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: where there's you know, maybe a drop off there all

1022
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. So you've got a chance at getting one

1023
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: of those offensive linemen that are pretty good and maybe

1024
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: have some value at pick twenty seven, where you're not

1025
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: getting a guy at twenty seven that you could have

1026
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: gotten if you were picking thirty eight. Right, Just I know,

1027
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: and I know Kendall writes, your guy, I like him too,

1028
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: and I'd be over the moon if they could get him.

1029
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Now everybody's on my train. I just worry about all

1030
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: the like the hype on him is going through the roof. Now,

1031
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: thank you, I started that trend. Oh you did. I'm

1032
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure I did. Okay, Naw, you said we were,

1033
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Now I'm sure, I'm sure. Well that's right. So I'm

1034
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: sure the thirty two personnel office was nothing to do

1035
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: with it. Go I was on him two weeks ago.

1036
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Now we have no chance in twenty seven now, right,

1037
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm worried that we don't. I'm worried that we maybe,

1038
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe that prompts another famous you know,

1039
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: big baller being moved up the board. There two or

1040
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: three spots, maybe two or three spot, that's all they

1041
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: can move. You may have to get ahead of Jacksonville

1042
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: at twenty four to get him because they need to

1043
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: tackle badly after losing Juan Taylor, who's a starter for them. Right. Um,

1044
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones, though, and we go

1045
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: to Mark in New Jersey. As we're asking today what

1046
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: position can't be absent from Buffalo's twenty twenty three draft class.

1047
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: What do you got, Mark Low hanging fruits as receiver

1048
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: you can't have. You know, well, he's no longer on

1049
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: the roster. Isaiah McKenzie on Twitter, You know, advocating for

1050
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,479
Speaker 1: you veterans to take his job, or just basically giving

1051
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: his job away, or going on a live podcast on

1052
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: a stage and kind of whimsically laughing off mistakes like

1053
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: you used to with a certain former Bills reporter. I'm

1054
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: sure that went over well. Corner corner is another one.

1055
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what was it by halftime in the Miami game,

1056
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: which was week three, he had Dane with his neck

1057
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: nearly taken off by Tremaine Edmonds a week before Benford

1058
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: broke his hand before half. You're lining up JaMarcus Ingram

1059
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: over Tyreek Hill. The class is too deep, it's too good,

1060
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,959
Speaker 1: and I think they half, I mean, they would behove

1061
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,919
Speaker 1: them to not come away with one corner in this draft. Yeah,

1062
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. Take Mark, thanks for

1063
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: the call. You're right. I was waiting to see how

1064
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: long it was going to be before somebody did mention corner.

1065
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: For the two reasons that he brought up one, it's

1066
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: a class. You're close to being thin on this roster.

1067
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Corner you're you're not too far away to his point.

1068
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: You have a cup, you have an injury or two.

1069
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: You know, you got issues. You got I mean you

1070
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: have Dane who you resigned, you know as a restricted

1071
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: free agent. You got Kaier, you got True Davious. And

1072
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: then what are you doing with Benford? We don't know yet.

1073
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: And then Tarn and then siran Neil, who's our special

1074
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: teamer here? You know? And in trench special teamer can

1075
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: fill in and a pinch in corner at corner, but

1076
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: you need another guy. And this class, like everybody's been

1077
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: raving about the tight end class, the corner class is

1078
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: right there with them, really deep, like you could get

1079
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: a good corner early on day three. And I think

1080
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: this thing too, people, I view the cornerback position a

1081
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: little differently. When you sign guys at corner position, then

1082
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: you do then I do at offensive line, and offensive

1083
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: line say well, there's a depth piece there, there's a

1084
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: depth at corner. You're always looking for a guy to

1085
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: plug in up at the top rather than like, oh,

1086
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: he's a depth apiece kind of thing. He's you know,

1087
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: you maybe get a special teams guy there once in

1088
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,479
Speaker 1: a while, But at corner, particularly in the draft, there's

1089
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: always this aura about, hey, this guy's got a chance

1090
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: to be to start for us, or to be in

1091
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: the mix for us. You're right, it's different than any

1092
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: other position. For that reason is that you draft a

1093
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: guy at say the Bills take a guy at twenty

1094
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: seven like this, like a Deonte Banks from Maryland or somebody,

1095
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: and it's like, all of a sudden, it's like, wow, okay,

1096
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: here we go, you know, because you get a guy

1097
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: like Christian Benford who comes in and all of a

1098
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: sudden the system fits him. He's got these measurables, he's big, dude.

1099
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, this guy can play. There's always that

1100
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: thought at the cornerback where it's awesome because you can

1101
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: plug a guy in at the top of the rotation

1102
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: at that spot, rather than just plugging a guy in

1103
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,439
Speaker 1: and say, well, he may come in on some third

1104
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: downs or some specialist you know, or he's depth, or

1105
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna play cover kicks or something. There's there isn't

1106
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: that thought when you talk start talking about corners, particularly

1107
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: in this draft, right and I'm just looking and a

1108
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: lot of times I reference Dane Brugler's Draft guide which

1109
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: is maybe one of the more comprehensive ones out there.

1110
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: And he's got eighteen corners with grades in the first

1111
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: four rounds. Twelve of the eighteen are six feet or taller. Yeah, yeah,

1112
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: See McDermott loves that. They love length, They love length

1113
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: at their corner spot. What they got elam Well right

1114
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: and Benford two. So I mean it is a deep class.

1115
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you go down to the sixth round,

1116
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: you got another ten guys that could go, and it's

1117
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: a deep, deep group, Like you could wait until late

1118
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: day two, even early day three and you could get

1119
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: a player that might be good enough to be your

1120
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: fourth corner like out of the shoot right guy, right

1121
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 1: out of the rapper, first guy on the field after

1122
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: an injury or yeah whatever rotation. So that's how good

1123
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: this corner class is. So you know, it's not a

1124
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: screaming need maybe like linebacker for the Bills or you know,

1125
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: adding a weapon at receiver or tight end, but you

1126
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: don't want to come out of this draft class without one,

1127
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: and knowing you can wait on one and still get

1128
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: a decent way makes sense. It just makes sense that

1129
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: might be your first or even your one thirty pick yeah,

1130
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's not it's not outlandish to think

1131
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: that way, you know. I know Christian Benford bent the

1132
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: rules for everybody last year because now everybody's thinking, well,

1133
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: you can get a starter, seventh round, sixth round, you

1134
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: can get a guy to play right on we one

1135
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: day one, let's go, you know, and they kind of

1136
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: raises the expectations for what that guy's capable of in

1137
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: that spot rather than you know, two years ago before.

1138
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: Christian benevers like, ah, well it's a throwaway, you know,

1139
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: like we had, we had one of our callers, it

1140
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: is like, just package the sixes, the fives and sixes

1141
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: and get move up because you can't get a guy

1142
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: to make the team anyway. Back there. The funny thing

1143
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: about that caller who was our first of the day, Jeff,

1144
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: was he was saying that he thought they should package

1145
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:27,959
Speaker 1: some of those picks who may not make the roster

1146
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: anyway and move up on the board to get a

1147
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: guy who really covered. And then he said, and address

1148
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,959
Speaker 1: those top four needs. It's like, well, hold on a second,

1149
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: we only got six picks. I mean, I think they

1150
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,919
Speaker 1: are going to backfill with a lot of undrafted free

1151
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: agent signings. This year because they need bodies for the

1152
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: offseason roster. Like you're gonna see a fat number of

1153
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: undrafteds this year because they only have six picks right now. Yeah,

1154
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: they'll get some guys after the draft that will have

1155
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: some measurables and have a chip on their shoe old

1156
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: and you know, the thought is certainly they have to

1157
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: fill out their roster and get enough guys to go

1158
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: to training camp with and all that. But the thought

1159
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: is there there. They've got their eye on guys who

1160
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: they hope are available after the draft, because you know,

1161
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: the Bills have in this draft six picks. I mean

1162
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:22,439
Speaker 1: they're going to have their eyes on fifty guys to

1163
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: call up and say, hey, will you sign with us

1164
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: for training camp? Literally fifty and they'll probably get eight. Well,

1165
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: you're competing with thirty one other right all at the

1166
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: same time, and they'll want fifty of them. But that's

1167
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, they just don't have a chance to do that.

1168
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet, which, as you know,

1169
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1170
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. What position cannot

1171
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: be absent from Buffalo's twenty twenty three draft class. Jake says,

1172
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 1: defensive tackle you use for and our endy under contract

1173
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: beyond this season. The answer would be no, So yes,

1174
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: we've covered that ground. Edward on the tweet sheet says,

1175
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: big nasty, drooling, pancake making offensive lineman. I think anybody

1176
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: would take an offensive line with a little nasty in him.

1177
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: That's why Steve likes darniell writes so much. There is

1178
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: a play on his highlight reel where he basically deposits

1179
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 1: a defender three yards deep in the end zone. Our

1180
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 1: MSG viewers are going to get a look at it

1181
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: as we run the highlight reel now, but he absolutely

1182
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: forklifts a guy and throws him into the end zone

1183
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: as his running back calmly follows untouched and gets there.

1184
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 1: This is the play here for our MSG viewers. Just

1185
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: throws a shoulder at him and the guy the first

1186
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: thing he lands on are his shoulder blades. Now that

1187
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: was a safety in fairness, but still yeah the guy. Yeah,

1188
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: he throws the guy into the marching band. So did

1189
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: you love that stuff? And there's been guys here over

1190
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: the last handful of years. Pencer Brown was like this

1191
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: even in his first year. Certainly John flice gana when

1192
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: he was here as a free agent before he went

1193
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: to the You know, we lost him to the Giants

1194
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: last year. You need those and I've told Brownie this

1195
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot. You need a handful of guys on your

1196
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: team that want to be in the middle of it

1197
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: all the time. They want to be they want to

1198
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: be the guy that the middle of conflict. Yes, they

1199
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: want to be the guy that the other teams shoving

1200
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: out of anger because every play they yes, they love it.

1201
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: You need a bunch of those guys so that they

1202
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: can take the focus off guys who are concentrating on

1203
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts of the offense. You know that

1204
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,639
Speaker 1: you need you need some of those guys. This guy,

1205
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Darnell Wright has a little bit of that in him,

1206
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: or at least he appears to from right here, right

1207
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: now on the tweet sheet RB Bijean. There is a

1208
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: fascination with Bijean, Robinson, Steve and it goes beyond the

1209
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: Draftnicks who were mocking him to the Bills at twenty seven.

1210
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: In the early going, there there is a legion, maybe

1211
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: that's a strong word. There is a smattering of Bills

1212
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: fans that are equally enamored with Bijean Robinson. So I

1213
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: get it. He's a fantastic talent, but there are to me,

1214
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: there are more pressing positional needs for this football team

1215
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 1: than there And I have said this all along too.

1216
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: If Bijon Robinson gets to twenty seven, you'll be able

1217
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: to knock me over with a feather. There is no

1218
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: way that is happening. He is too good a talent,

1219
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: even at a devalued position like running back. He might. Yeah,

1220
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here thinking, you know, I hope Washington takes

1221
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: him at sixteen, or you know you don't want him

1222
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: as an option. I don't want him as an option

1223
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: because you know then you're gonna get then, you and I.

1224
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: And it's selfish that I say. They're worried about phone calls. Yes,

1225
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 1: we'll get phone calls. Steven doesn't care about how the

1226
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:53,600
Speaker 1: roster is impacted. My dad will call. You're more concerned

1227
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 1: about it. Who's gonna be calling us after that? I

1228
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: love how selfish you are right now. It is I

1229
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: admit it that sounds standing. Oh my god, you're killing it.

1230
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: You don't want and yeah, exactly, So he's a I

1231
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,719
Speaker 1: think he's a really good player. He's a really good player.

1232
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's got a chance of being one of

1233
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: those running backs that gets taken in the first round

1234
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: because of his talent and a team that's gonna show

1235
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: up with a need and like you said it or

1236
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: a team without a need, it's a luxury pick, like Philly.

1237
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: I think, well, it's not a luxury pick. They do

1238
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 1: have a hole there, but they have two first round picks,

1239
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: I think is the point that you're making. Yeah, so

1240
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: they pick at ten and thirty, right, all of that

1241
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: stuff is on the table um and you know, as

1242
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: quirky as it's been over the last few years, you

1243
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 1: could see the New England Patriots doing that. Well, we

1244
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: had you know, we had our guest on earlier this week,

1245
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: mister baumb Gardner who covers the Lions, and he was

1246
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,719
Speaker 1: mocking Bijan to them at eighteen with their second first

1247
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: round to the Chargers, who they can't get a deal

1248
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: done with Eckler. Yeah, they could pop him in right,

1249
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: plug him right in and upgrade, you know, instead of

1250
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: and then move Eckler for a bag of peanuts, right exactly,

1251
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: because suddenly he's expendable. There is a chance that b

1252
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: Jean Robinson is not there at twenty seven when the

1253
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: Bills pick. I don't think that position, because of the

1254
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: nature of it, that the Bills would ever flip up

1255
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: a couple of spots to get him. There might be

1256
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 1: some players in this draft that they would do that for.

1257
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 1: I doubt that running back is a position they would

1258
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: do that for. So I think if it's twenty seven,

1259
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be twenty seven. Yeah, how many times he

1260
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 1: don't want those phone calls? He's been mocked to the Bills. Well,

1261
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: in the early going he was. It's less so now

1262
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 1: but still, Yeah, you're right. Tim on the tweet sheet

1263
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: says linebacker needs to be priority number one, followed by

1264
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: old line, receiver, d tackle, defensive back unless Jackson Smith

1265
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: and jigbe is on the board at twenty three, no

1266
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: trade up, trade back and pick up an extra pick.

1267
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that tradeback thing. Yeah, I don't mind it.

1268
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: I twenty seventh. I mean it's you know, you're gonna

1269
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: get a good player at twenty seven. The value is

1270
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: hard to gauge For me as a you know, draft amateur,

1271
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to get Like, Okay, the twenty seventh. How

1272
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 1: much better is the twenty seventh pick than the thirty

1273
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: fifth pick? You know, well, that depends on how many

1274
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: guys you have with grades in that area. If you

1275
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: have fourteen, well then okay, slide back and you're sitting

1276
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: not just the twenty seventh to the thirty fifth, it's

1277
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: also the twenty seven to the thirty pick, plus the

1278
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: fiftieth pick that you get in return as well for

1279
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: moving back. So it's both those players, and it's both

1280
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: of those ship point. It's hard to gauge. And I like,

1281
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: like I've said a million times, you want more pick

1282
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 1: a mini pick as you get, even if they're fourth, fifth, sixth,

1283
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 1: and seventh rounders. Those picks, you know, even if you've

1284
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: got a ton of those, there's going to be some

1285
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 1: gems in there, I think. So I love the fact

1286
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: that you could trade back. I don't love it, but

1287
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I think it's I'm okay with it. Yeah, And we've

1288
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: heard a lot of the draft experts say that the

1289
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,719
Speaker 1: meat and potatoes of this draft is round two and three,

1290
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: like that's where a lot of the value sits. Because

1291
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: we've heard at a lot of the positions there isn't

1292
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: consensus top flight people you know, receivers. One example of

1293
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: that defensive tackle has like one alpha male Jalen Carter,

1294
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: and then you know it's Brian Berzi and the bunch

1295
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 1: of guys after that, with varying opinions on all of them.

1296
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: And because of that, you have a better chance of

1297
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: being more right in your assessment on guys day two

1298
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 1: early day three, because they fit the value better than

1299
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: some guys that are going to go in the first round.

1300
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Then maybe in a deeper year, probably wouldn't be a

1301
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: first yeah pick, you know what I mean, you're and

1302
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to do because you're measuring this young player

1303
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: that you don't know out of college to a guy

1304
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: that came out two years ago that's where he was,

1305
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 1: and that he's a good player, and this guy is

1306
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 1: not as good as him, but he got you know,

1307
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: it's hard to make that mental jump and value these

1308
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: guys correctly. But when you when you're as good at

1309
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: it as the Bills have been, certainly you can get

1310
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: backed into a corner where okay, you can't trade out nobody,

1311
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:35,679
Speaker 1: or that you can't trade out for the right price

1312
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: and just end up having to take somebody you don't

1313
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: want to be in that spot. You don't want to

1314
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: be in that spot where you have to take a

1315
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 1: guy where you thought you might be able to get

1316
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,680
Speaker 1: him in the forties, Yeah, and you got to take

1317
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 1: him in the twenties. We are going to take a

1318
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, we'll finish up some

1319
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: of the final thoughts on the tweet sheet, and we're

1320
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna have a little role reversal. I'm usually firing off

1321
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 1: questions at Steve, challenging his brain. Steve's gonna throw some

1322
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 1: at me. We'll tell you how when we return here

1323
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's

1324
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, there, we are our final

1325
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 1: half hour on a Wednesday, Chris Brown, Steve's tasking with you.

1326
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 1: Thought we'd have a little bit of a role reversal

1327
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 1: game here today. Usually I am the one peppering Steve

1328
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: to come up with answers to various questions, whether it's

1329
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 1: our old tasker's teammates segment where he's trying to guess

1330
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: what teammate I'm describing, or the numbers game that we

1331
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 1: play every week on our podcast, Bills by the Numbers.

1332
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: Steve is going to ask me questions about Bills players,

1333
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: current former coaches as well. I believe in a game

1334
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,759
Speaker 1: that you can actually pick up at the bill store.

1335
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 1: It's called Who's the Man, and it's just a trivia

1336
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: car game. It's really frustrating too, because Brownie's really good

1337
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: at it. I'm okay, and I'm trying. I hand picked

1338
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 1: like I got like, I got five of these here,

1339
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 1: probably the hardest ones you can find. I just pulled

1340
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 1: them out and I'm sure it's completely at random. It's

1341
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:17,600
Speaker 1: not bad, but I didn't want to get like so

1342
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: just to play it out. Each card has what four

1343
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: goes five clues and they go from five points down

1344
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: to one point. The sooner you get it, the more

1345
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: points right exactly, So here it is. So here's the

1346
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: Who's the Man? Who's the Man? Brownie? He was an

1347
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 1: all state performer as a senior at Ensley High School

1348
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: in Birmingham, Alabama. He rushed for over a thousand yards

1349
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: on one hundred and one carries in high school. In

1350
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: high school over a thousand yards in Alabama. Is it

1351
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Joe Cribbs? It is not selected in the first round

1352
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 1: of the eighty seven NFL Draft by the Colts. Oh,

1353
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:53,759
Speaker 1: crumb Buns the Colts. Yeah, in the eighty seven draft,

1354
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: So it's got to be a running back. Who the

1355
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,719
Speaker 1: heck did they take in eighty seven? I have no idea.

Speaker 1: I love me. Just say I'm enjoying it, all right.

1377
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 1: Who's Brownie? Who's the man? This man was hired by

1378
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: the Bills to a front office spot in January of

1379
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and six. That's Marv Leah, that's unbelievable. You

1380
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: would get that. I was here for it. I should

1381
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 1: remember that last one. Here we go. This is the

1382
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: last one. Well, I can get another one too, though,

1383
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: um I might. Oh, I'm putting these in the wrong backwards. Shoot,

1384
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: I had my all right here anyway, Brownie, who's the man?

1385
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: A nineteen event All States selection as a quarterback at

1386
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 1: America's High School in Georgia. So nineteen seventy in high school,

1387
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: you said, so, that means he's in the NFL in

1388
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: like the mid seventies. It's not Ferguson because he's from Arkansas.

1389
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,799
Speaker 1: That was a high school in Georgian. Oh, high school

1390
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,560
Speaker 1: in Georgia? Is it Joe Ferguson, No, it's not, you

1391
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: miss leg. Next, who's the man quarterback and a three

1392
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 1: year letterman at Florida? Quarterback in a three year letterman

1393
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 1: at the University of Florida. So he's there in the seventies.

1394
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: The only person I can think of is Steve Spurrier.

1395
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: But that's not right. Um, he must not have played

1396
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:55,680
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. That's the thing. So Georgia, Florida.

1397
01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:01,600
Speaker 1: Who's from Florida that plays for the Bills? Um, I

1398
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 1: don't know. Next one. He was hired to his first

1399
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 1: NFL job by the Broncos in nineteen eighty five, signing

1400
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: to coach tight ends and special teams. Oh so he

1401
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: didn't even have an NFL career. It's a coach Florida

1402
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: tight ends coach Crum. I'm blanking. This is the furthest

1403
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I'm blanking. Here we go. He won

1404
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: four consecutive AFC Central titles with the Steelers from ninety

1405
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 1: four to ninety seven, first as a wide receivers coach,

1406
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 1: then as offensive coordinator and this guy played for the

1407
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:41,559
Speaker 1: Billet seven. Man, I'm struggling. I'm not I don't even

1408
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 1: have a thought. It's like I don't even have a

1409
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: guest for one point. Brownie, former head coach of the

1410
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys in Georgia Tech yellow Jackets, took the same

1411
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: role with the Bills in two thousan ten chan Gill. Wow,

1412
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: that was a good one. Yeah, that was a good Wow.

1413
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: That was a very good one. All right, here's last one.

1414
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: He was a quarterback in high school high Well, he's

1415
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback in Florida too for three years. You know,

1416
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 1: I misheard you because I knew his hometown was Americus,

1417
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: but I heard America high school. I didn't hear Americus,

1418
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 1: and I actually am I knew what his hometown. Dang,

1419
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 1: all right, that stinks. Here we go. Who's the man? Brownie?

1420
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: He caught ten passes for two hundred and fifty five

1421
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:29,639
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns in his fourth game as a pro.

1422
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: Ten catches for how much two fifty five in his

1423
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: fourth game? Is that? Jerry Butler? Oh my gosh, that's correct.

1424
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: That is unbelievable. Remaining don't give me one more. You're mad?

1425
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 1: I got that so fast. Now, this this is an East,

1426
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: I hate one, I get pick another one. No started

1427
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty three games over twelve seasons with

1428
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: the Bills, started one hundred and sixty three games. So

1429
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 1: we got to think about the guys that played the longest,

1430
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:09,480
Speaker 1: is it Andre? Nope, succeeded, thank you, succeeded Terry Bradshaw

1431
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: as starting quarterback at Woodlawn High School, leading the Knights

1432
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: to the Louisiana State championship in nineteen sixty eight. Well,

1433
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: that would line up with Joe Ferguson, right, That is correct,

1434
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Joe first, all right, Last one, Brownie, last one? Who's

1435
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:28,520
Speaker 1: the man, Brownie? Who's the man born and raised in Pittsburgh,

1436
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: the suburb at the Pittsburgh suburb of Mount Lebanon, born

1437
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: and raised in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. That would be Mark

1438
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: Kelso it is not grandson of longtime Pittsburgh mayor Pennsylvania

1439
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania governor Don Tom Donahoe. You are correct, sir, That away, Brownie.

1440
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,800
Speaker 1: The coaches in the coaches in the GMS is what

1441
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: throws you because you're thinking player, player players, So when

1442
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:54,720
Speaker 1: you get them, when they tell you about their high

1443
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,520
Speaker 1: school career and they're playing quarterback when they played linebacker

1444
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah that Biscuits. Yeah, like Biscuit was

1445
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 1: playing running back. Man, I wouldn't want to see him

1446
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,919
Speaker 1: with a ball coming, dude, can you oh? Can you imagine?

1447
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,759
Speaker 1: That would be unbelievable. Let's get back to the tweet

1448
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: sheet for some final thoughts from you on what position

1449
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: can't be absent from Buffalo's twenty twenty three draft class,

1450
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: and Jess says offensive line project protecting Josh has to

1451
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: be the top priority. That is valid. Jeremy says the

1452
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: same thing too. He says, first round O lineman. Let's

1453
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: not forget how the season ended. Steve has often said,

1454
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,799
Speaker 1: your last game points out your weakness. This was clearly

1455
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: a factor. O line, O line, oh line. You know

1456
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 1: who says that? Brandon does? Brandon Been says that a

1457
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: lot I don't know at the end when he does

1458
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: his season wrap up press conference, says, very often, where

1459
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 1: you're lacking in your last game is very telling as

1460
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: to where you should address things going into the next year.

1461
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: The reason for well, particularly if you're in the playoffs,

1462
01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: that may be a lot more true than it is

1463
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: just a regular season and last game, because in the

1464
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: playoffs you're meeting a team that's a little more well rounded,

1465
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 1: a little deeper as everybody's playing at a high level,

1466
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 1: and when you get to the playoffs, so if you're

1467
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 1: deficient somewhere, it shows up. And that's what happens once

1468
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: in a while. You and I both know, we both

1469
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: believe that the end of the Bill season this last

1470
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: year had very little to do with their roster. Well, right,

1471
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 1: there were some extenuating circumstances, the Jamar Hamlet situation. How

1472
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 1: that affected the mental right preparation and the focus necessary

1473
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: to play let alone, to be up for a game

1474
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: like that, especially against the Bengals team where the incident

1475
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: was against the team that the incident happened against, right,

1476
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 1: three weeks earlier. Yeah, these guys were flashing back big time.

1477
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 1: And think about the mental even the two games before that,

1478
01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: between the Monday night game and the playoff game where

1479
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 1: they in the Bengals game, there were two games in there.

1480
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:58,520
Speaker 1: Those two games were against two teams that were hobbled,

1481
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: Patriots who were offensively inept, and they had and the

1482
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: Bills beat him with two kickoff returns. Yeah, so their

1483
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: offense still didn't show up in that game, even though

1484
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: they scored twenty five points. And then, of course the

1485
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 1: Miami playoff game where they beat barely beat Skyler Thompson,

1486
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 1: a third string rookie quarterback. You knew, you knew that

1487
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 1: it just wasn't right here. Every that last month of

1488
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 1: the season was really rough in this building, and I

1489
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: think it showed up really against a good team in Cincinnati.

1490
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: You showed up. It showed exactly the situation they were in.

1491
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: Break time for us here. Some final thoughts on the

1492
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet next when we return here on one Bills Live,

1493
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 1: presented by Collid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All

1494
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 1: right back here on one Bills Live. Some final thoughts

1495
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet Where we've been asked today what

1496
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:05,240
Speaker 1: position can't be absent from Buffalo's twenty twenty three draft class.

1497
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: Phillip says, easy answer is wide receiver. They surely will

1498
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,799
Speaker 1: add one, even if on Day three. What I want

1499
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: is a D lineman, a one tech or a pass

1500
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 1: rushing edge. When Vaughan was lost, we had no juice

1501
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: on the edge. I was hoping for a veteran pass

1502
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 1: rusher in free agency, but Shack is another edge setter.

1503
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 1: No DT under contract after this season, and we rotate heavy,

1504
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:37,719
Speaker 1: so he's DT or EDGE. That's interesting. Yeah, I'm okay.

1505
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 1: I'll go anytime anywhere on the offensive line, anywhere on

1506
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: the defensive line. I'd be shocked if if we don't

1507
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 1: haven't maybe one of each. At the end of this draft.

1508
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: Edge might meet maybe multiple of each. A selection of

1509
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,599
Speaker 1: an edge rusher early in the draft might be met

1510
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 1: with some angst from Bill's fans, just because of the

1511
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 1: investment in that position high in the draft in recent years.

1512
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 1: So even if it makes sense to the experts upstairs,

1513
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 1: well I get it. You gotta keep swinging. Well, look,

1514
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna knock it. You gotta keep swinging. They're

1515
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: upstairs and we're down here for a reason. Yeah, you

1516
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: gotta keep swinging at it. If it's like the quarterbacks.

1517
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 1: But I was applauded John Elway. They had more quarterbacks

1518
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: cycle rinsing through Denver. He knew what he was looking at.

1519
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: So you gotta keep trying. And if the position is

1520
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: that important as we all think edge rusher is, hey, man,

1521
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: stan't get up to the plate and take a swing.

1522
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 1: Let's goin. Travis says, after one of the losses this year,

1523
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: I can't remember which, I was furious, insisting they use

1524
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 1: all their draft picks on offensive lineman. I haven't forgotten. Well,

1525
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: there you go, Travis, I feel your pain. Swing away, Travis,

1526
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 1: swing away. I'm okay, let's go. I'm okay with that.

1527
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: If you can't go wrong drafting big guys, that is true.

1528
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: So I think the general consensus here is received linebacker,

1529
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 1: and then defensive tackle and corner came up as secondary

1530
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: place offensive lines at the top. There two old line

1531
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 1: too correct. All right, thanks for all your responses and

1532
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: all your phone calls. We'll catch you tomorrow on a
