1 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: We see these one Bill's Live presented by called Light 2 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: a Health. We are just three hours away from the 3 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: start of the new league year and free agency Mattie 4 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: Glab alongside Steve Tasker on this lovely Wednesday afternoon, we 5 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: finally see the sun. Maybe the weather can warm up 6 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: for some of these new guys heading to Buffalo soon enough. 7 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: And everybody was saying, we want a splash, We want 8 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: a splash. Brandon Bean, do your thing because as we 9 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: trust in you, big baller being well. A few minutes ago, 10 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport tweeted Bill's safety. Jordan Poyer is expected to 11 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: sign back in Buffalo. Sources say he checked out the 12 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: market but returned to Bill's mafia. Ian Rappaport also saying, 13 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: there are still matters to be worked out, but one 14 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: of the Bills as stars isn't going anywhere. I would 15 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: call that a splash, being able to retain a guy 16 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: like Jordan Poyer. Again, this is according to sources, and 17 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: the fact that deals matters of the deal still being 18 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: worked out. But you see Tremaine Edmund's head to the 19 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, according to reports, and you're starting to wonder 20 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: is the foundation of this defense going to look different 21 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: without Tremaine Edmunds and potentially without an all Pro safety 22 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: in Jordan Poyer. Well, it's looking like one of those 23 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: foundational pieces to the defense is going to come back 24 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: to be with Micah Hyde, the best safety tandem you 25 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: can argue in the NFL. Remember the last time those 26 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: two spent an entire season on the field together, they compine, 27 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: they combined for the most interceptions in the NFL that season. Yeah, 28 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: he had a great year last year. In fact, for 29 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: as well as he played two years ago, last year 30 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: was probably more heroic because you see here on this 31 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: highlights we were walking. Remember he had he wore the 32 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: big elbow brace. He was nicked up the entire year, 33 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: played through all of his injuries. You can say, well 34 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: he was in a contract year. Yeah it was, but man, 35 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: that ain't easy to do. He did it. He went 36 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: out and the safety we've noticed the safeties on the 37 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: free agent market have not been moving. They haven't signed, 38 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: Guys have been signing back with their old teams. There 39 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: hasn't been a blockbuster deal at that position this offseason. 40 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: And posts probably sitting there going here, no, I love it. Here, 41 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: my wife and everybody loved him. You know, my family 42 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: loves it here. The deal's not out of whack. I 43 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: know that they're they're what they're offering what we don't 44 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: even know what that is, and maybe they haven't maybe 45 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: just said hey, I'm gonna sign, and they said, well, 46 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: here's what we can offer, and he says, I'll take it. 47 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: Whatever that. However it happened these guys that you know what, 48 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm just coming back and I can I feel it, man, 49 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: I I know what he's going through. I was the 50 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: same way at a point in my career with Plan 51 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: B free agency back in the day. And it's just 52 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: such a relief and it gives you such a good 53 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: feeling and say, you know what, I'm guys, I'm coming back. 54 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome. And I'll bet he's smiling big 55 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: over this today. Even whatever the money is, the knowledge 56 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: knowing going someplace where you're you know, you're liked and 57 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: well respected and loved, and he got great buddies and 58 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: a great atmosphere and a winning team. He's got to 59 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: feel really good about it, even though, you know, even 60 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: though he didn't hit some massive free agency deal, he's 61 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: got to feel great right now. And you started to 62 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: see some of those safety names kind of get get 63 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: pulled and place to new teams. Over the last couple 64 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: of days. Jesse Bates was the first one to go, 65 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 1: Von Bell, Donovan Wilson, Jimmy Ward, Marcus Epps, Jabril Peppers, 66 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: Andrew Wingard. So those names started to go and Poyer 67 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: wasn't a part of that group. And I don't think 68 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: we expected Poyer to be a part of the first 69 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: two safeties to kind of go off the board here 70 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: in free agency. But when you start to see names 71 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: like Jabril Peppers maybe find a new home and head 72 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: to a new team or head to New England, you 73 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: wonder what is it going to be like for Jordan Poyer. 74 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: If if the money if what he wanted, If if 75 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: he's testing the market to see what's out there and 76 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: maybe it's it's not as good as he hoped for. 77 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: Is there a chance that he heads back to Buffalo, 78 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: because you do have that tie of of going back home, 79 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: of going to a team that you have been with 80 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: since the beginning of Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean's days together. 81 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde came to Buffalo in Sean's 82 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: first season, though, are two very important players to the defense, 83 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: and it's looking like he's going to be a part 84 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: of this team for the foreseeable future. Now, we don't 85 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: have any details as it goes with terms or years 86 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: or the dollar signs, but Cameron Wolf of NFL Network 87 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: tweeted just spoke with Jordan Poyer, who said he verbally 88 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: agreed to return to the Bills forty five minutes ago. 89 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: Poyer checked out the market but felt his age thirty 90 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: two years old next month limited his interest. So deal 91 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: wasn't all he wanted. But he's happy to be back 92 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: with teammates and knows they can compete for a title. 93 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: And his age has been broughten up over the last season, 94 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: knowing that he was going to be a free agent 95 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: here this season. And another thing you wonder about it 96 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: is the age is the injuries that he had this season, 97 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: he played through those injuries and when he was on 98 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 1: the field for the Bills this past season, the Bills 99 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: were eighteen and one. Yeah, he played on the final 100 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: year of his contract. And this was all from Dan 101 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: Fetish reported and I'd forgotten about all this. He hYP 102 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: hyper extended his elbow and training camp, fractured two ribs. 103 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: He drove fifteen hours to play in Kansas City. You 104 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: remember that when he and his family took the You know, 105 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: he's got a little and a want. He played with 106 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: a torn meniscus, and like you said, he was they 107 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: were thirteen and one in games he played. He made 108 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: a difference for them, he did, and they were I 109 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: think they're really happy to have him back. And we 110 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: knew last year, going into the final year of his 111 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: contract that he was looking for more sure and the 112 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: fact that he put that type of effort into last 113 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: season says a lot about the type of guy that 114 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer is, says a lot about his relationship that 115 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: he has with his teammates and how he believes in 116 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: this team. So amazing to see that for this team, 117 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: for Brandon Bean. You were wondering if the money was 118 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: going to be out there for something like this to happen. 119 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: I think you can call that the splash of free agency. 120 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: We'll see if Brandon Bean is done yet. Free agency 121 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: officially begins today at four o'clock Eastern time. That's the 122 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: start of the new league year. We already know a 123 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: lot of information with what other teams are doing and 124 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: what's already happened, and we're awaiting what Aaron Rodgers might do. 125 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: He was reported to go on the Pat McAfee show 126 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: today at one o'clock. Well it's one oh seven. No 127 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: news yet on that front. The update has been according 128 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: to multiple people. I think Tom Pella Sero had this 129 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: tweet maybe fifteen minutes ago that both sides were talking, 130 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: but nothing has been reached yet. So TBD on that. 131 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: And it's not just Jordan Poyer for the Bills here. 132 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: Earlier this afternoon, later, let's say, early morning, we kind 133 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: of found out this news that, according to reports, wide 134 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: receiver and return specialist Deontay Hardy will sign a two 135 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: year deal with the Bills. He's formerly known as Deontay Harris. 136 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: He last played for the New Orleans Saints. The wide 137 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: receiver only played in four games last season because he 138 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: had a toe injury that he suffered in Week five 139 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: and never saw the field after that, but he played 140 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: four years with the Saints. His best season in terms 141 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: of wide receiver came in twenty twenty one. He had 142 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: thirty six catches, five hundred seventy receiving yards, and three 143 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns in twenty nineteen. Though his rookie season, he made 144 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: a big splash in the return game that led to 145 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: him being named first team All Pro and a Pro 146 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: Boat Bowler. In his rookie year, he had thirty six 147 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: punt returns for three hundred and thirty eight yards, which 148 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: led the NFL that year. He also had a punt 149 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: return touchdown, and he had twenty four kick returns in 150 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: six hundred forty four kick return yards in twenty nineteen, 151 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: So adding a dynamic, a versatile weapon too. Who the roster. 152 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: He's five six, he's one hundred and seventy pounds. He 153 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: was an undrafted free agent in twenty nineteen to the 154 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: Saints out of Assumption College at a D two school. 155 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: And when you see an addition like this, you wonder 156 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: how he is going to factor into the wide receiver room, 157 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: into the offense. Is this somebody that's going to compete 158 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: with nihem Hinz to return punts and kicks. Is this 159 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: somebody that's going to compete with other wide receivers in 160 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: the wide receiver room? What is that going to look like? 161 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: On Twitter, people were saying, and I'm speaking about national analysts, 162 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: We're saying this is a good fit for the Bills. 163 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: This guy is really fast. He had a four three 164 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: five forty. He's explosive, he can add a wrinkle to 165 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: the offense in ways that other receivers can't. But this 166 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: size five six, one seventy. I think anybody would say, Okay, 167 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: this is this is an undersized receiver. How does he work? 168 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: But the Bills have had undersize receivers that have worked 169 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: in this offense in the past. Remember I think it 170 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: was twenty nineteen, the Bills kind of got the nickname 171 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: of the Blue Smurfs. Sean McDermott called the Wide Receiver 172 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: Room blue Smurfs because they were wearing blue one day 173 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: their uniform and Sean McDermot said they were a bunch 174 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: of smaller guys running around out there. John Brown Coldly 175 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: and Isaiah McKenzie, all those guys. But it's for me, 176 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: the size issue for a player is important only in 177 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: that he is Can he be durable enough? Certainly Hardy 178 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: has shown the ability to do that, and and he had 179 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: a toe injury. Toe injuries don't have anything to do 180 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: with your size. I mean it has to do with 181 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: your with stress on your joints, trying turf Toe. He 182 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: was an All Pro returner that and in the general consensus. 183 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: Now is it just you know, basic logic tells you 184 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: don't know if there's space on a roster for both 185 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: Isah McKenzie and Deontay Hardy. McKenzie has been in and out, 186 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: was healthy scratch at times last year and then other 187 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: times you feel like there are games in the past 188 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: when in McKenzie's career here in Buffalo where he won 189 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: the game for him and with his ability to be 190 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: a receiver. The New England game comes to mind, where 191 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: he was eleven catches and twelve targets and killed those guys. 192 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: But now you've got a guy almost like him as 193 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: a return guy. Now you can say this too, that 194 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: Naheem Hinz has been an outstanding return guy of late 195 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. He's still on. But it's okay 196 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: because if you've got two guys at different positions on 197 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: offense or defense, whether it's a corner, safety, wide receiver 198 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: or running back. If you've got a running back in 199 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: a wide receiver that do their thing on offense and 200 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: then they also overlap and they both can return kicks, 201 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: that's that's okay. You can live with two of those 202 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: guys same thing. If you have a corner who can 203 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: return kicks and a wide out who can return kicks, 204 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: having those things back each other up are crucial. You know, 205 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: we've seen Micah Hyde out there and catch kicks, so 206 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: that's that's a good thing. I don't think one necessarily 207 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: precludes the other. It could be that you like Hardy 208 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: better as a punt returner and Naheim Hines better as 209 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: a kick returner. And the less you give those guys 210 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: in those responsibilities, better they are at those responsibilities and 211 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: their other responsibilities. Giving them less to do means what 212 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: they do do what they can do is done better 213 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: at a higher level. Because when you've got a guy 214 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: like Naheim Hims doing both kickoff returns and punt returns, 215 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: sometimes I can get a little much to also throw 216 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: it in a slot on offense, a spot on offense. 217 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: It's something to think about. And and yet that can 218 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: go game by game. So one game you might have 219 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: Hardy doing both kicks and punts and not doing so 220 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: much on offense, but Naheim Hines is doing a bunch 221 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: on offense, and the next week vice versa, Hines is 222 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: doing all the return work and Hardy gets more reps 223 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: on offense. It's it really is. In today's NFL. That's 224 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: a thing. It takes a lot out of you mentally 225 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: to do. A play a bunch of different roles, special 226 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: team's role, a couple of different roles on special teams, 227 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: and then of course a regular role on offense. It's 228 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: a real mental hurdle for a lot of guys to do. 229 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: I know I really struggled with it when I played. 230 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: And because of the structure of the league and the 231 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: way guys are now and the way they prepare during 232 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: the week, it's hard to stay on top of all 233 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: of those roles. So having him spread out between two 234 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: different guys may be a way to get a higher 235 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: level of productivity at all those spots. I get that. 236 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: I understand that. I think that I could see all 237 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: of that happening as you explain it. And I saw 238 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: a tweet that said sixty percent of his snaps at 239 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: wide receivers have been taken on the outside. So this 240 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: is a receiver that offers you versatility in terms of 241 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: where he can line up. We know in the past, 242 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: and this was under Brian day Ball, but somebody like 243 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis in his first season, he was kind of 244 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: worked around the offense. Stefan Diggs has played inside and outside. 245 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: So you wonder what type of role somebody like Deontay 246 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: Hardy is going to play on this team. Regardless of 247 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: where he plays and how much he plays, he is 248 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: going to add some valuable competition to that room. What 249 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: type competition? Who is he competing against? Is it Isaiah McKenzie. 250 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: Is this somebody who can continue to help a younger 251 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: player like Khali Shakier kind of form into his role 252 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: on this team. We've seen this coaching staff and the 253 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: scouting department bring veterans in at position groups to be 254 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: able to help bring along younger players. Could that be 255 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: the case? We know that this is somebody who can 256 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: who can add something to the special team side of 257 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: things and to the offense. Question for you, do you 258 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: think this checks the box for this team at wide 259 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: receiver or do you think there's still some meat on 260 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: the bone there. That's interesting, That's a good question. I 261 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: think there's still some meat on the bone and there's 262 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: some guys out there available. We've heard now that Jerry Judy, 263 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver for the Denver Broncos is 264 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: available for a trade. They're asking at least a number 265 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: one for him, and I've also heard I just it 266 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: was just this was reported by Jeff Howe. New England 267 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: is also in on talking to Arizona about DeAndre Hopkins. 268 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: You're in on the ob j Odell Beckham junior market 269 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: and also Jerry Judy, and the price points are what 270 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: they're talking about. The New England Patriots have never been 271 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: a high end wide receiver group. They've always relied on 272 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback that can distribute to get production at all 273 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: the spots at wide receiver rather than having a big 274 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: number one and a slot guy. Although the slot guy 275 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: in the tight end in the past have been really good. 276 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: They had Julian Edelman and Gronk there, so they had 277 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: some really good guys. But the money has always been 278 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: and what the New England Patriots are willing to give 279 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: up to get one of the guys I just mentioned Hopkins, 280 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: ob j or Jerry Judy is really going to be 281 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: the question. But they're in on all those guys, so 282 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: that market's still there, not only for them, but also 283 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: the Bills. Yeah, the Bills have got probably and we've 284 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: been talking about this, I mean, what would you give 285 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: for a number one guy like Jerry Judy. Well, Jerry 286 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: Judy's had three pretty productive years. He had a little 287 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: injury problem last year, but he but he played last 288 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: year he played in fifteen games. The year before that 289 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: he played in ten games. Right, it's a it's a 290 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: question do you what do you get more out of 291 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy if he comes here, then you do Gabe 292 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: Davis right now? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know 293 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: because their their stats are a little different. I think that. 294 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: I think they're different in their body comp and their 295 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: body makeup. Because Judy six one, just under two hundred. 296 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: Gabe's big, bigger than that. Yeah, Gabe six two and 297 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: two ten. So he offers you that size, which I 298 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: think the Bills not lack, but they don't have a 299 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: lot of at that wide receiver position. There's no other 300 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver on the Bill's roster that is like Gabe Davis. 301 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: So I like the size that that Gabe Davis offers 302 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: you in this offense. I want him to have a 303 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: better year this season. He wants that as well. He 304 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: had that ankle injury in the beginning of last year 305 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: that that kind of hampered him. It was his first 306 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: year being a full time starter for this offense. So 307 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm expecting big things out of him this upcoming season, 308 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: just because of the work ethic that he has, and 309 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: I think what he put on tape in his first 310 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: two seasons that really showed the potential that a guy 311 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: like that had. I mean, you don't have four touchdowns 312 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: in a playoff game and then fall off a cliff. 313 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: That just doesn't happen. So I'm excited to see what 314 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis has this year, what he has in the tank, 315 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: what he can do for this team in this offense. 316 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: But I would I would be really pumped to see 317 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: another wide receiver on his team, whether it's through free agency, 318 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: a trade, or whether it's through the draft. Do you 319 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: want a guy that's more proven, that's already played in 320 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: the NFL games and has the NFL snaps, that is 321 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: a younger guy like Jerry Judy possibly, or would you 322 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: want somebody that is a rookie that you can kind 323 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: of form or maybe it's going to take a couple 324 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: years for them to come on like it has for 325 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: Dave Davis. Jerry Judy had over eight hundred receiving yards 326 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: in his first NFL season, then dropped to just over 327 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: four hundred because of an injury, and he goes almost 328 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: a thousand receiving yards in his third NFL season. Is 329 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: the Odell Beckham junior window closed for the Buffalo Bills? 330 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: Is that potentially still something that could happen. I like 331 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: this Deonte Hardy signing, but I'd also like to see 332 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: some more weapons for Josh Allen to throw to. Like 333 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: our argument yesterday, Like our idea yesterday, load up on offense. 334 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: The defense is good as is. There's a couple pieces, 335 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: couple depth pieces that you need to add to. We 336 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: found out reports are saying that Jordan Poyer is going 337 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: to be back. That's a huge box checked for this team, 338 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: right Yeah. And I as we sit here, especially with 339 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: the Deonte Hardy signing and the way they sit and 340 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: the way the season went last year, I still think 341 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: there's more in this offense with the guys they have 342 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: than we saw last year. I think Ken Dorsey is 343 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: gonna be has learned a lot about what it is 344 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: and what a full season looks like in the NFL. 345 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: Ways to get better in their preparation and week to 346 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: week day to day, the evolution of an offense throughout 347 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: the season. I'm not I'm not down on any of 348 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: the guys they have on the roster right now, Gabe Davis, Khalil, 349 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: Shakir Mackenzie certainly not Digs, Dawson Knox or any of 350 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: those guys. I like all those guys, I thought. I 351 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: think one guy that's under used is a little bit 352 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: as Quentin Morris. Yeah, who catches the ball really well. 353 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: He's He's had big, big catches in some games. So 354 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm excited about where they're at. I'm back to where 355 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,239 Speaker 1: we have been for the Bills. More importantly for me 356 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: is the guys up front on both sides of the 357 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: ball um. Everybody else seems to be gonna be fine. 358 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: I don't mean when I say fine, I don't mean 359 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: whatever you take that to mean. I'm good to go 360 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: with those guys. I don't have a problem with him, 361 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: the big guys up front because of the contracts and 362 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: the guys that got hurt, and the guys that are 363 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: here and not here, I think they need to get 364 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: back in there. I'd love to see him resign. Jordan 365 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: Phillips if possible. Our guy like Jordan Phillips, although he's 366 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 1: been great for this team, he's played his best football's 367 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: rotational player, and I those are the guys that worry me. Certainly. 368 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: Vaughan's gonna come back. He's gonna play well when he's healthy. Um, 369 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: you know that that kind of thing is a given. 370 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: Mitch Morris, Dion doc As, They're gonna be great. But 371 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: I think the guy eyes up front, those both lines 372 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: of scrimmage are really for me. That's the focus this offseason, 373 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: because the skill guys outside. While you can say they 374 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: weren't as good as we thought they'd be last year, 375 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: they still scored the second most points in the league. 376 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: They won thirteen games in the regular seat, they were 377 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: they were a problem. The guys they have now, and 378 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: I think with another year under their belt, with Ken 379 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: Dorsey called on the plays and you know, sprinkling her 380 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: guy here like Deonte Hardy or a guy in the 381 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: draft or whoever, this is a crew you can still 382 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: win with and win big with. I'm so, I'm I'm 383 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: good with this right now, but my focus is still 384 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: down inside. I think sometimes it's also hard to see 385 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: the full potential of this group that they have in 386 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: the group that they will have as they continue to 387 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: add new pieces and new faces. Because of the fact 388 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: that this team was injured for the majority of the 389 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season. They got injured early and then 390 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: it was it continued to be different guys falling down 391 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,959 Speaker 1: or the same guys getting injured again. And you really 392 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 1: didn't have early on you did and that's when this 393 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: team was rolling, was in the first few weeks of 394 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: the season. But once the injury started to come, they 395 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: continued on. It's not like they ever had a couple 396 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: of weeks in the middle or the end of the 397 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: season where where they were injury free or we truly 398 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: felt like this team was going to be close to 399 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: full health. So I think if you can imagine this 400 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: team how it was in the first few weeks of 401 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: the season and other players that might add to what 402 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: it was, this team could be pretty dang good this 403 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: upcoming season. They are going to be Health needs to 404 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: be on their side, no question. They need to stay healthy. 405 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: But this team is really gonna it's gonna be good. 406 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: It's gonna be really good again this year. They're gonna 407 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: be right there at the end of it. They're gonna 408 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: be they're gonna be in the playoffs. They're gonna have 409 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: a chance to do it again and go back, and 410 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see how they get there and 411 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: what it's going to look like. I also I'm okay 412 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: with the fact that salary cap wise, they're gonna get 413 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: out from under some of this this year coming year. 414 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: It looks like at this point they're gonna be able 415 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: to come back next year when the cap goes up, 416 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: and come back with a lot more cap room than 417 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: they were able to do this year, maybe even with 418 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: maybe even under the cap when the league year ends, 419 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: rather than having to shuffle around and get under the cap, 420 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: so then they can go and really, you know, do 421 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: it again. That starts to spend some money next year 422 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: like they weren't able to this year. I don't have 423 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: a problem with him not spending big. I would like 424 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: to see him draft well, no question. I think that's 425 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: whenever you're doing a year like this with free agency 426 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: where you're a little bit quieter, no big splashes, I 427 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: think you do need it puts the focus on the draft. 428 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: You've got to get guys at positions that are important 429 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: to you. It's the easiest way to stay under the 430 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: cap is to get get get time, get games, get 431 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: effort out of the players that you draft. If you're 432 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: able to get a lot out of your draft picks 433 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: while they're on their rookie contract, that's the easiest way 434 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: to stay cap friendly, to stay in a good situation. 435 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: And there's probably even more pressure on this team now 436 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: that you're paying big time players to feel like you 437 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: need to draft players that are going to add to 438 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: this team, whether it's in a starting role, whether it's 439 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: in a rotational role, whether it's maybe in their second 440 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: year they really come on as a starter. But if 441 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: you're going to spend on low budget free agents because 442 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: the top half of your roster is heavy with money, well, 443 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: the perfect way to get new talent and to change 444 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: things up, to continue to raise the bar is through 445 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: the NFL draft. Yeah. And one of the things we've 446 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: been keeping track on, I want to change the subject back, 447 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: but this Aaron Rodgers sager that's been going on John 448 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: paton McAfee right now. Yeah, And he's basically what we're 449 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: getting through social media is that he's saying, you know, 450 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: he's the packer of the packers have already made it 451 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: clear to him that they want to move on to 452 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: Jordan Love and what is holding the process up is 453 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: not Aaron, but the two sides come into terms on 454 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: what they're gonna what the Jets are going to give 455 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: to the conversation, Aaron also intimated that he said he 456 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: was ninety percent retiring when he went into the darkness, 457 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: into the darkness, so that lowers his value to a 458 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: team like the Jets. I mean, what are they gonna do? 459 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: Get him for a year and then kick him, you know, 460 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: then he's gonna walk off into the sunset. And let 461 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: me tell you something. You can say what you want 462 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: about the Jets. I think it's going to be really 463 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: difficult for Aaron Rodgers to do what all the hopes 464 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: and dreams of the Jets fans believe he's gonna do, 465 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: walk in there and win a Super Bowl, even with 466 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: that roster as good as it is. And and we've 467 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: complimented on our show, The Jets Got the Jets had 468 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: a stellar offseason last year and the one guy that 469 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: might have made an enormous difference for them was Aaron 470 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: rod But that was this last season. This next season's different. Yeah, 471 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: So I think it's going to be really difficult for 472 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: him to come in there in one year transformer franchise 473 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: from a team that was not in the playoffs into 474 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contender. I think it's there are ways 475 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: from that. Certainly, their quarterback play in New York was 476 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: horrible last year. I mean, we see it and they 477 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: know it. And Aaron Rodgers is not going to play 478 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: horrible quarterback ever, so that will make a difference for them. 479 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: But you're talking like you're talking like a year to 480 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: year deal with him. He may not be there in 481 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers said on the Pat 482 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: mcafewe Show that since Friday, his intention has been to 483 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: play with the New York Jets. Like Steve Tasker said, 484 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: the hold up here has been the compensation for both sides, 485 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: and I completely agree. The Jets have been a team 486 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: that have they've built through the NFL Draft the last 487 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: few years, and you're reaping the benefits of what you've 488 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: gotten through the draft in the last three years, and 489 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: you want to continue to do that. Aaron Rodgers is 490 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: a band aid for this team because if you want 491 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: to be a perennial playoff team, if you want to 492 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: be somebody that's been able to build like the Bills. 493 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: You need to draft a quarterback or acquire a younger 494 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: quarterback who's going to be a part of your team 495 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: and your organization for multiple years. Not somebody who said 496 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: they were ninety percent sure they were going to retire 497 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: two weeks ago. How is that solving any sort of problem. 498 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: You're not in it. You're not in a position this year, 499 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: this upcoming season where you're going to make a run 500 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: for the super Bowl. You just aren't. And so here's 501 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: the thing. You're in that spot. And if you're the Jets, 502 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: they gotta they know exactly what you're talking about, Maddie. 503 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,959 Speaker 1: There they're saying, listen, you're we don't even know if 504 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be with us, like a full calendar year. Yeah, so, 505 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: and you're his contract. We gotta cough up fifty eight 506 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: million bucks or something like that. I mean, if the 507 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: numb numbers are astronomical, we gotta cough it up for 508 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: one year and roll the dice for a one time. 509 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: So we're not giving you your hands. So we are 510 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: not giving you We are not giving you two ones 511 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. We're not giving you a first round 512 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: pick for Aaron Rodgers not for one year? So what 513 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: do you you know, what's the deal? What's the point. 514 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: So for the Jets and the problem, here's the now, 515 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: here's the green pay packer side of it. We'll take him. 516 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: You don't have to trade for him. But if you don't, 517 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: if you don't trade for him, now you've got Alan 518 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: Lazard on your team for four year, forty four million 519 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: dollars reported signing, and your fan base and your entire 520 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: offseason is going to is going to get flushed down 521 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: the toilet right now, everything it's all gone, The entire 522 00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: your whole season is sunk. Because Derek Carr is not available. 523 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: Who's gonna play quarterback for you? You're gonna have to 524 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: find somebody. White's not even there, Mike White's not even there. 525 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: You got nobody to play quarterback for you. If you 526 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: don't make this deal, New York, all the talk, all 527 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: the promise, the great roster you've put together, your great defense, 528 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: it all gets flushed down the toilet. So you gotta 529 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: want this pretty bad. Are the Jets Jet sing again? 530 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: Are they gonna be Are they gonna do something? Jets? 531 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. The Jets have to make this happen. 532 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: They have to make it happen and green But here's 533 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: the thing too. If Green Bay doesn't green if he 534 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: comes back to Green Bay, they're they're gonna have to 535 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: gut their roster to fit him there. And they're Jordan 536 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: Loves standing there. They're gonna play Jordan Love. They've already said, 537 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna have a fifty eight million dollar 538 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: backup quarterback who sucks the air out of the room. 539 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, this it's both these clubs are 540 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: desperate to make this happ Yeah, almost too desperate. I 541 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: just okay, Jets, you're going to have a quarterback for 542 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: a few years, then one? Then what then then these 543 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: players too, even if it's two. But then these players 544 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: that you have that are on their rookie deals aren't 545 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: going to be on their rookie deals anymore. It gets 546 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: harder when you don't have guys that are on rookie deals. 547 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: The Bills are going through that right now. They're having 548 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: to pay players and they're having to get creative take 549 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: advantage of it while you can, like the Bengals have 550 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: been able to the Bengals have a quarterback, the Jets don't. Yeah, 551 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with this Aaron Rodgers situation. And 552 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: it was put on this was put on Twitter. I 553 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: can't tell you who said it, as Mark Twain is 554 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: attributed to. And this is when you remember Brett Farve 555 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: got traded the Jets, right, I mean, yeah, so that happened. 556 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: And Mark Twain is quoted as saying history doesn't repeat itself, 557 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: but it often rhymes. And that's what this really stinks of. 558 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this is another It looks great for the 559 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: Jets if they pull this off, if they can get 560 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: this done for the right compensation, but man, oh man, 561 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's kind of go well even 562 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. Somebody tweeted, uh, Tom Brady is six 563 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: years older than Aaron Rodgers. Does that mean Aaron Rodgers 564 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: has six more years left in the tank. Yeah, they're 565 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: two different players. I do not think so. Yeah. All right, 566 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: much more to come on One Bills Live today, as 567 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: we continue the Aaron Rodgers talk and we continue talk 568 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: about the Bills and in addition, at safety Jordan Poyer 569 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: coming back according to reports, stick with us on One 570 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: Bills Live. We're presented by Kalid to health. This is 571 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, we're back here on one 572 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: Bills Live and we're discussing in the Aaron Rodgers Palooza. 573 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: He's on Pat McAfee talking about his intention to play 574 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: for the New York Jets this upcoming season. Compensation stuff 575 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: still being worked out, and he was asked about his 576 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: wish list of players that must come along with him, 577 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: Alan Lazar, Marcedes Lewis, Randall Cobb, Odell Beckham Junior. Some 578 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: of the names on that list. He says, that's so ridiculous. 579 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: He mocks the idea and says, that's not the reality. 580 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: It's so stupid to think I would do that. According 581 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: to Tom Pellasero, who's listening into this interview, he does 582 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: say that he was asked about players during his visit 583 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: with the Jets. Yeah, this is Alan Lazar reportedly heading 584 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: to the Jets on a four year deal, so possibly 585 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: linking up with one of his former teammates, as Randall 586 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: Cobb headed there too. That's been a name that was 587 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: floated out there as well. I don't know, I'm a 588 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: little surprised that he didn't have as sounds exactly like 589 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: he didn't kind of looks that way, right. The guy 590 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: who represent in at Aaron Rodgers when as a rookie 591 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: was Andrew Brant. We've had him on the show's he 592 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: works at the Villanova Morehouse School of Sports Law. I'm 593 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: not sure exactly what his title is, still a well 594 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: known guy around the National Football League. And he says this, 595 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: and he's right, And this is where why this is 596 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: so like deja vooish. In two thousand and eight, the 597 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: Packers moved away from a Hall of Fame quarterback Brett 598 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: Farf to turn to a first round quarterback in Aaron 599 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: Rodgers who'd been waiting for three years. The Hall of 600 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: famer was traded to the Jets. Now in twenty twenty three, 601 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: the Packers are going to move away from a Hall 602 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers to turn to a first 603 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: round quarterback in Jordan Love who's been waiting for three years, 604 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: and the Hall of famer is going to be traded 605 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: to the Jets. It's all exactly like it happened back 606 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, at least at this point. 607 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: It's uncanny and it is a little bit deja vuish, 608 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: all right, Starting quarterbacks of the Jets since Brett Farr, 609 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: Oh goodness, Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh McCown, 610 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: There's Bryce Petty's in there, Sam Darneld, Joe Flacco, Zach Wilson, 611 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: Mike White, other names as well, Kelen Clemens for a 612 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: week or two. Yeah, yeah, guys who had to fill 613 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: in for a week or two. Um, so that was 614 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight. Brett Farve fifteen years, Yeah, 615 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: sixteen years. It's and they haven't had much consistency after that. 616 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: Still searching for a quarterback, still searching for their guy. 617 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers says he intends to play for this team 618 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Here's the and this and as a 619 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: Jet fan, here's just what you're looking at. So if 620 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers, what do you want out of it? 621 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: As a Jet world? You gotta have a Super Bowl champion. 622 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 1: So if the Jet, if all their hopes and dreams 623 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 1: come true, they come out, Aaron Rodgers comes in, get 624 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: on hop streak late in the season, sneak into the playoffs, 625 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: get to the Super Bowl, win the Super Bowl with 626 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and then Aaron Rodgers. You think Aaron Rodgers 627 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: gonna play again the nixt year after that. There's no 628 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: way he does. Maybe does, but no, let's think there's 629 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: no way. And so now the Jet fans are right 630 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: back into the abyss. You would you You gotta think though, 631 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: right super Bowl Bills fans might say do it? I 632 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: might say yes? Right? Are they a super Bowl caliber team? Now? 633 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: With Aaron Rodgers, You've got to think, well, here's the Bills. 634 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: Fans know this better than anything. Say this, and I've 635 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: said it. Bills have been good enough to go to 636 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: and win the Super Bowl for three years three since 637 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, they've been Now the end of the season 638 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: comes it was the thirteen second game, and then this 639 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: last year it was you know, the Damar Hamlin and 640 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: the way the season kind of spiral out of control 641 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: right at the end, and then uh, you know, and 642 00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: then they got to the AFC Championship game in two 643 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: twenty in Kansas City. So they've been good enough to 644 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 1: get there. And if you're good enough to get there, 645 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: you're good enough to win it, right if you just 646 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: gotta play well on that day? You know, what does 647 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: that look like for the Bills? If if do you 648 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: trade that for like one and you gotta think maybe 649 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: to go back into a drought for for whatever however 650 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: long time, or go back to the abyss. It's an 651 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: interesting conversation to have for one year versus being good 652 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: for multiple years. But but here's the thing too. The 653 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: Jets may be like the Bills. You go to, you 654 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: get in the playoffs, which they haven't been for a minute, 655 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: go deep, win a game, get into the divisional round, 656 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: maybe even the championship game, and then go home and 657 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: then Aaron Rodgers says bye bye. Not quite so good. Yeah, 658 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: although I will say this, and you can say that 659 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Brandon Bean, have this team compared editive year 660 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: in year out. They are in the conversation every single 661 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: year now for the last four there's be four years 662 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: going in and when the Rams said, we don't care 663 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: about our picks, we just want players, and it worked 664 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: out for them in terms of a super Bowl. But 665 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: that team didn't even make the playoffs this season. They 666 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: did get to two. Yeah, they lost one of the 667 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: Patriots and then they with Jared Goff and then they 668 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: went to and one with Stafford. That's where the Bills are. 669 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: They're in the midst of it and Brandon. Brandon has 670 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: said over and over again, We're not going to be 671 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: a team that's a one and done type of team. 672 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: We want to be a team that's good year after 673 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: year after year. That's what I'm trying to build here 674 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: is a team that can be a part of the conversation, 675 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: that can be a part of a perennial playoff team 676 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: year in year out and have a chance to make 677 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: a run at the whole thing. And he succeeded in that. 678 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: Every single year they've had a chance. This year was 679 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: different because of the injury situation, because of Damar Hamlin, 680 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: but they made it to the divisional round of the playoffs. 681 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: Didn't have their best game, didn't play their best game 682 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,479 Speaker 1: on the day when it mattered most. But the last 683 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: three years they've they've been in the playoffs and they 684 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: they've had a chance to make a run for us. 685 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: Why that's why the Jets it's really interesting because the 686 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 1: Bills are because they got they got their guy at quarterback. 687 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: The Bills do. The Jets have been doing everything right lately. 688 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: This last draft class was stellar. They got they got 689 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: the offensive and defensive rookie of the year. They had 690 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: the offensive and defensive Rookie of the Year in the NFL. 691 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: On both sides of the ball, they're doing it right. 692 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: The one missing ingredient is this quarterback thing. But if 693 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: even if they came in and Rogers gave him a 694 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: year or two and they were good, they got back 695 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: into the playoff hunt and they were in the conversation 696 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 1: for those two years and then he goes away, they're 697 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: still They've still got to feel confident about their ability 698 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 1: that how they have built their team for a change, 699 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: because the Jets have been the Jets for a long time. 700 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: Now it doesn't seem like they're that Jets team anymore. 701 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 1: They got things together. Yeah, So their fans can take 702 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,439 Speaker 1: heart in that fact that they have built this great 703 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: team and they just haven't had a chance at a 704 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: really good quarterback because of free agency, because of the 705 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 1: draft and where they're picking and that kind of thing. 706 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: They haven't had a chance at one of those guys. 707 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: And well they have and Sam Darnold and they blew it. Yeah, right, 708 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: And it just goes to show how important it is 709 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: to have that quarterback. You can have everything going right 710 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: for you on offense and defense, but without a guy 711 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: to truly captain your offense and lead that team. It's hard. 712 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: And the Jets beat the Bills once last year, and 713 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: it was tough sledding against that team because of the 714 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: type of defense that they have and the type of 715 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: the defense that they will have this year. This is 716 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: a team that's getting better and better every single year. 717 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: Does Aaron Rodgers elevate you to the option to the 718 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: ability to compete for Super Bowl? To win first and foremost, 719 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: to win the AFC East, That's what you're trying to 720 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: do first, That's that's first order business. Does Aaron Rodgers 721 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: give you a chance at winning the AFC East? I 722 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: would say yes, absolutely, Yeah, they got a shot at it. Um, 723 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: they got to feel good about it. Um. They were 724 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: competitive more than competitive last year. Um. But they got 725 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: they got a problem in They got a problem in 726 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: Buffalo with with Josh Allen. They got a problem in 727 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: Miami with two and that defense, and that team got 728 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: there and Tyreek and Waddle and the crew they've got 729 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: down there, they've got you know, the division's tough. Now 730 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 1: New England is a different and New England to shot 731 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: for different tide receiver. They're gonna get in big time. 732 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,439 Speaker 1: Wide receiver, receiver, and they brought Bill O'Brien back into 733 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: the fold so they can you know, they can film 734 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: their opponent's practices without more about to get that getting out. 735 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: So all of that going on, So the division got 736 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: really tough, and for a hot second, it looked like 737 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna get Rogers and the Miami Dolphins 738 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna get Tom Brady, which would have blown everybody's mind. 739 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 1: If East would have been like nat one of their teams, Yeah, 740 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: one of those teams would have been on Monday Night football, 741 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: Thursday night football, sundayball every week. It would have been 742 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: like the NFC East, one of the big cities. So 743 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 1: this division is going to change dramatically if Aaron Rodgers 744 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: does or when he does become a Jet. I think 745 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. I don't think there's any question 746 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 1: about it. The Jets have to have this, and the 747 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: and the Packers need it to happen as well. Yeah, 748 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: he said that's the intention he has. He's made it clear. 749 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said, listen, I since last Friday, then my 750 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: intention that I'm gonna play for the Jets. Now, the 751 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: two teams got to get it together. And that's if 752 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: it takes that long, these many days, that's a problem. 753 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: I told you this in the Break too, Maddie, before 754 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 1: we go to break. It's a problem for teams to 755 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: deal with the Packers because the Packers are a football organization. 756 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: They don't have an owner. Their fans are gonna love 757 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: them no matter what. They're gonna sell out games no 758 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: matter what. They are a football organization. The Jets right 759 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: now are a pr organization. They need their fans to 760 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: buy in and Aaron Rodgers is the only way so that, 761 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: you know. So they got to deal with it. And 762 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 1: the and the Packers are going if it doesn't make 763 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: sense for us football wise, we are not doing it. 764 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: And the Packers are looking for a bargain. The Jets 765 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: are saying, let's give them something. The Chuck, Well, we're 766 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,240 Speaker 1: talking about it here.

According to Adam Schefter, so two 779 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: years for Jordan Poyer. Micah hide back in Buffalo. I 780 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: think he's got one year left on his contract. So 781 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: good to see the band get back together for at 782 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: least one season. And then Deonte Hardy also reported that 783 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: he's coming to the Buffalo Bills on a two year deal. 784 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: He spent the last four seasons with the New Orleans 785 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 1: Saints and is also known as a return specialist. Led 786 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:02,319 Speaker 1: the NFL in twenty nineteen in punt return. Yards's best 787 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: season as a wide receiver came in twenty twenty one, 788 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 1: when he had thirty six catches go for five hundred 789 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: and seventy receiving yards and three touchdowns. He's smaller five 790 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: six one seventy, so we'll see how he's used, but 791 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: he does add some speed and versatility to this offense. 792 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: We've got a question for you. If the Bills swing 793 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: big in free agency or with a trade, what do 794 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 1: you want the Bills to do? You can give us 795 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: a call here at eight oh three, five fifty and 796 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 1: who we were gonna go to the phones and we 797 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,280 Speaker 1: will do that. But we've got some news, and this 798 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 1: is some big news. Guys. We said Jordan Poyer was 799 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: a splash. You want to hear a bigger splash. Sources 800 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 1: tell The Athletic that linebacker Bobby Wagner is deciding between 801 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders and the Buffalo Bills. The Raiders 802 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 1: have the higher money to offer. Wagner recognizes a fitnext 803 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 1: to Bills linebacker Matt Milano on a Super Bowl content 804 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: ending roster. Holy bleep. That is yeah, not official that 805 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 1: he's heading to the Bills, but choosing between the Raiders 806 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: and the Bills. The Bills obviously have an offer on 807 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: the table. Yeah, um, this just in for those of 808 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: you who don't know. Bobby Wagen is really good something. 809 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: He's really good stuff. And yeah, he's coming from the Rams. 810 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 1: He was a he was a cap released by the Rams. 811 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, that's that's interesting. And this gets down to it, Maddie. 812 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: When guys get to a certain point and they want 813 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: to try that again, you know, try and play longer. 814 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: They want to be on a really good football team. 815 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 1: They want to have a chance to win it. Um 816 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: certainly the Bills fit that, and the Raiders are a 817 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: good organization. There's nothing against the Raiders or anything like that. 818 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 1: And they have they're offering him more money. But when 819 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: it comes down to it, it will What will happen 820 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: is I bet Bobby Wagner will show up in Buffalo 821 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: for a visit and he'll say what about it? And 822 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: he'll he'll hang out. He'll want to hang out. What's 823 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: the vibe like, what are the players like? They'll probably 824 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: have Josh and Vaughan talk to him. Uh, Steph Diggs 825 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: will talk to him. They may go out to dinner, 826 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: they may take him around. He will see the facility, 827 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 1: they will they will absolutely woo him. And if that 828 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: comes to pass and the money difference is such that 829 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't mind. Yeah, that's how you get a guy 830 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: like Bobby Wagner. And that's why free agency, when push 831 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,839 Speaker 1: comes to show, you forget it's not just a business deal. 832 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: These Guys have lives, and they have wants and personal desires, 833 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 1: and they make their own choices, and it's not always 834 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,359 Speaker 1: about the highest bidder. It's about the best situation, and 835 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: a lot of times that makes a lot of difference, 836 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: particularly for a guy like Bobby Wagner who's been around 837 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 1: the block once or twice. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I 838 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: saw that exact I saw that at the exact same 839 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,879 Speaker 1: time time you did, Maddie, And uh, we'll see. I mean, 840 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. You put your hand up, like, hold up, 841 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 1: we may have it may yeah, and it may not 842 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: be real. But it's fun to talk about. It's fun 843 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 1: to talk about. Who knows? Who knows? I don't know 844 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 1: if that's really true. We'll see. We gotta check out that, 845 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,799 Speaker 1: we gotta. We may have gotten got on Twitter. Yeah, 846 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 1: we might have gotten got it. So who knows? This 847 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: Twitter accounts as Scott Shanahan even angles journalists for the Athletic. Yeah, 848 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 1: that's yeah, and we're already being warned that we got 849 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 1: got So Bobby Wagner is probably off the table. That 850 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 1: would be cool. Yeah, well, it would have been fun. 851 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 1: It's fun for the fifteen seconds last of that. Everybody 852 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,879 Speaker 1: gets got during free agency, we might have just got gone. 853 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 1: Darn it. You know, I still I still like Jack 854 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 1: Campbell from Iowa time to skinning, saying take the call 855 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: from all Right, we've got Judy who's been hanging on 856 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,320 Speaker 1: the line, so we're gonna go to Judy from Buffalo. Judy, 857 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 1: you're on with us. Do you think the Bills should 858 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: do anything in free agency here? Well, I'm not too 859 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 1: concerned about that because I don't I think the futures 860 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,319 Speaker 1: in the draft choices that they may make. But what 861 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: I want to ask you is is there any chance 862 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 1: that they can use Tommy Doyle at left tackle, well 863 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins left guard, and then have the whole philosophy 864 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 1: of the offense changed to a ball controlled type of 865 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: lanfets to mitigate the deficiencies on the defense. I ask 866 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: you for your comments, what, Judy, what like what deficiency specifically? Well, 867 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: you know, over overall they give up a lot of 868 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: yards to teams. They left teams back in the ball game. 869 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 1: We win games by three points instead of dominating the 870 00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 1: offense with the caliber player we hit. And I think 871 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,240 Speaker 1: it's because we go for that quick strike with a 872 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 1: fifty yard pass instead of just you know, going for 873 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:11,319 Speaker 1: the ten yards first down pass, fifteen yards, a run here, 874 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 1: run there, And I just think that we need to 875 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 1: change our philosophy. Well, here's the thing, Judy, and I 876 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,280 Speaker 1: appreciate that, and I know what you're you're talking about, 877 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: but I'm not. I would caution you and fans who 878 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: think like that, I'd caution you away from worrying about 879 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 1: style points on how the Bills win. And their defense 880 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 1: is no has been, no joke. It's been a top 881 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: five defense four out the last five years. It's it's 882 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: been tough. And sometimes when the defense late in games 883 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: or whatever, let's a team seemingly stay close to them. 884 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: It has less to do with how it looks and 885 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: feels on the field, with how it looks on the 886 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: scoreboard and the clock, because you'll know, and you'll notice 887 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 1: that when they get into these second half and in 888 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of these games and a team scores 889 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 1: and it gets close, the Bills are confident enough, I think, 890 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,800 Speaker 1: and what they're doing, they're like, they're not gonna beat you, 891 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 1: and it takes them so it takes the other team 892 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 1: so long to do what they're trying to do, and 893 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 1: the Bills when they get the ball back to do 894 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,319 Speaker 1: what they do, the team just runs out of room. 895 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,880 Speaker 1: And I made this comment during the second half of 896 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 1: this last year a ton the Bills just strangled teams 897 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: late in games. They just didn't have the ball and 898 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: didn't have enough of control of the game offensively to 899 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 1: score at the rate they needed to score to win. 900 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: And the Bills were like this big snake who just 901 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,879 Speaker 1: squeezed the life out of them. They just and as 902 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 1: close as it looked on the scoreboard at the end, 903 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,360 Speaker 1: and the fact that we couldn't, like, you know, have 904 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: the extra beer because we were up by twenty had 905 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the chance that that team was 906 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 1: actually gonna beat the Bills. In my opinions, that's the 907 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 1: way a lot of those games came down the line 908 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: this last year. For me, I was I was totally 909 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,919 Speaker 1: on board with it. I thought it was a kind 910 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: of one of those maybe I don't know what analytical things, 911 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 1: but you get down to these games and certainly, you know, 912 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 1: you can point at some that were terrible, like the 913 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,520 Speaker 1: Vikings game when it did get away from the Bills. 914 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: They were up seventeen points at the start of the 915 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,399 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and that got away from no excuse for that. 916 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: But you beat the Browns by by eight points, and 917 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: that didn't feel like a runaway, but they weren't even close. 918 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 1: You beat the Green Bay Packers by ten, and that 919 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 1: was not even that close. You beat the Jets in 920 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: the second game by eight and it wasn't close. It 921 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: wasn't that close. So you know the Bears, I mean 922 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 1: they ran off and left and high hid from the Bears. Yeah. 923 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,440 Speaker 1: In the New England Patriots it was thirty five twenty 924 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: three in week in week eighteen, but that was with 925 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 1: two kickoff returns. You know, don't get caught up in 926 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,399 Speaker 1: the way a win feels because you didn't run off 927 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,240 Speaker 1: and leave the other team and it was aout. Those 928 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 1: don't happen very often the NFL. And some of these games, 929 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: the Bills were in full control. Even in some of 930 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 1: these three point games and it's one score games like 931 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 1: the twenty to twelve against the Bills were in full 932 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,440 Speaker 1: control even though it didn't seem like they were scoring 933 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 1: at will like you would like them to. Don't get 934 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: caught up in the style points. I am with you 935 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,399 Speaker 1: as well too. I'm kind of man on the free 936 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: agency and it is going to be this draft that 937 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: is a big difference maker for this team. But I 938 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,320 Speaker 1: don't get I've said it a bunch and I'll probably 939 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 1: say it a bunch of this offseason. The Bills were really, really, 940 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: really good this last year, and winning by eight points 941 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,799 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean they weren't in full control of the game. 942 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 1: And they won fourteen total games. All right. Joe Biscalia 943 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 1: of The Athletic who covers the Buffalo Bills, he said, guys, 944 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,760 Speaker 1: the Bobby Wagner Raiders Bills thing is from a fake account. 945 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't work for us, So carry on, all right, 946 00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 1: We're carrying on here. The Bills just a ounce that 947 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: they've agreed to terms with Jordan Poyer on a two 948 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: year deal to keep him with Micah Hide, the best 949 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,320 Speaker 1: safety tanem in the NFL. I think I'm a little biased, 950 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: but they could do some damage in twenty twenty three. 951 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna reset what's been going on in free agency. 952 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,360 Speaker 1: When we come back, tell you what some of the 953 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: biggest moves have been over the last twenty four hours. 954 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: We're one Bills Live and we're presented by Kalid to 955 00:53:27,120 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

He offers 967 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: versatility in the fact that he's also a return specialist. 968 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: Led the NFL in twenty nineteen in hunt return yards. 969 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:10,879 Speaker 1: Other news out there for the Bills, Stefan Diggs reportedly 970 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: restructured his contract to free up some space for the 971 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 1: Bills to create five point four million dollars was what 972 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,400 Speaker 1: the report said. Connor McGovern agreeing to terms on a 973 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,080 Speaker 1: three year deal with the Bills, according to reports, twenty 974 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,319 Speaker 1: three million dollars, and then Sam Martin and Tyler Medakavich 975 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:36,799 Speaker 1: also signing new deals. Sam Martin has not signed his yet, 976 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,760 Speaker 1: it's just agreed to terms. But Tyler Medakavich did sign 977 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,239 Speaker 1: his one year deal with the Bills yesterday. We had 978 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: him on one Bills Live. Tyrel Dodson also signing a 979 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,759 Speaker 1: one year deal with the Bills. Matt Milano agreeing to 980 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: terms on a two year contract extension to also help 981 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 1: free up some cap space for the Bills. Tim Settle, 982 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 1: Niheim Hines, Josh Allen, and Von Miller reportedly restructured their 983 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 1: contracts to free up money for the Bills as well. 984 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmunds, according to reports, heading to the Chicago Bears 985 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 1: to be a part of that defense. Other linebackers heading 986 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,400 Speaker 1: there as well, as the Bears have quite a bit 987 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: of money to spend and have a great place in 988 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: the NFL draft as well. They trade away that number 989 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: one pick, but they got number nine back and a 990 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: whole lot of other stuff. We've got a question for 991 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 1: you today, if the Bills were to swing big and 992 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,359 Speaker 1: free agency or with the trade, what do you want? 993 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: What do you want to see the Bills do here 994 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 1: in free agency? Is Jordan Poyer big enough splash for you? 995 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 1: Or would you like something else out of this team, 996 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 1: out of Brandon Bean. During free agency. Some other news 997 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:49,160 Speaker 1: and notes, Aaron Roger went on Pat McAfee show and said, 998 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: my intention is to play for the New York Jets. 999 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,280 Speaker 1: Waiting for compensation to work out on both sides. That's 1000 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 1: what's been holding things up, at least for now. So 1001 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 1: we'll see when that becomes official. It'll be really interesting 1002 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 1: to see the compensation that the Jets give the Packers. 1003 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 1: In regard to Aaron Rodgers, he's thirty nine years old, 1004 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,279 Speaker 1: he's going to be forty. He's got had a Hall 1005 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 1: of Fame career, no question about It's got a World 1006 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 1: championship under his belt, four MVPs, two of which have 1007 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: been in the last two years or three years. Um. 1008 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 1: And but the Packers want to move on, want to 1009 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: play Jordan Love. That's that's an interesting dilemma for them. UM. 1010 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 1: Now that this is all out of the bag and 1011 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: the Packers handled this, I think extremely well. Aaron Rodgers 1012 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,880 Speaker 1: in this in his interviews today, has said he was 1013 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: thinking about retiring until he found out that the Packers 1014 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 1: were shopping him, maybe as a trade. When he found 1015 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 1: that right when he found that out, he's like really, 1016 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna show you I've still got some 1017 00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 1: stuff from me even though he was ninety percent retired, right, 1018 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:04,520 Speaker 1: So that's the way players think. So he the Jets 1019 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,160 Speaker 1: feel like they're getting a highly motivated Aaron Rodgers, one 1020 00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 1: that will he wants to take the Jets further than 1021 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 1: the Packers can get right this next year. And I 1022 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 1: get all that. There's a lot in this, and you know, 1023 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 1: it's been saying, you know, Aaron Rodgers loves attention, he 1024 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 1: loves drama, he loves the politics, he loves all of 1025 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 1: that stuff. And they said it's perfect, perfect for New York. Right, 1026 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,720 Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna love you, right, So we'll see, 1027 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 1: we'll see. Um. It does seem though that the trade 1028 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 1: has been green lighted. Everybody's on board with it. Now. 1029 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 1: It's just a question of what's going to happen on compensation. 1030 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 1: Some of the news out there the former number one 1031 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 1: pick in the twenty eighteen draft. This happened earlier in 1032 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 1: the afternoon. Baker Mayfield expected to sign with the Tampa 1033 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers on a one year deal that's worth up 1034 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: two eight and a half million dollars. The Philadelphia Eagles 1035 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 1: plan to really least five time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay. 1036 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 1: Let's see running backs. Running backs news that started to 1037 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,520 Speaker 1: happen last night, and you were kind of wondering when 1038 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,080 Speaker 1: would the running back market start to be tapped into. 1039 00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 1: Who would be the first running back to go. Well, 1040 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions a little bit interesting adding David Montgomery 1041 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 1: to their team, the former Chicago Bear. So it looks 1042 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 1: like the Detroit Lions are going to be moving on 1043 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 1: from Jamal Williams, somebody who led the NFL in rushing 1044 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 1: touchdowns just this last season. The Carolina Panthers also agreeing 1045 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 1: to a three year contract with Cincinnati Bengals free agent 1046 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 1: tight end Hayden Hurst, according to Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday 1047 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 1: afternoon Tuesday evening, I believe. So those are some of 1048 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: the biggest names within the last twenty four hours that 1049 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 1: we have seen. Lamar Jackson now can start negotiating with 1050 00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: other teams on Wednesday, that is, at four o'clock today, 1051 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: four o'clock Eastern. It's going to be interesting to see 1052 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 1: if he's able to get what he wants again. The 1053 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Ravens put the non exclusive franchise tag on him, which 1054 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 1: pays him thirty two point four million for one season 1055 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,640 Speaker 1: and allows him to engage in contract negotiations with the 1056 01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:23,560 Speaker 1: rest of the league. What will happen there, So we'll 1057 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,640 Speaker 1: see what continues to happen with the wide receiver market, 1058 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 1: with the running back market. As free agency rages on, 1059 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys who are going to be 1060 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 1: new to this team and returning to this team, I 1061 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 1: would expect would be in Buffalo Thursday and Friday to 1062 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 1: sign those contracts and to meet with the media. So 1063 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: maybe some of these guys will be heading on the 1064 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 1: show for the rest of the week. That'd be great. Yeah, 1065 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,920 Speaker 1: this stuff about Aaron Rodgers and how this thing is 1066 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,520 Speaker 1: going to come down and all the free agent signs 1067 01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 1: around the league, this is it's really been interesting. I 1068 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 1: think also this Jet team, I gotta I gotta be honest, 1069 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 1: I think it really changes dramatically with Aaron Rodgers taking snaps. 1070 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way you can think anything else. 1071 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 1: Those guys are going to be significantly better, and they're 1072 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,560 Speaker 1: gonna be better. But is it worth it? Do you 1073 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 1: think you can do you think you can reach into 1074 01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 1: the bag of tricks that you have with Aaron Rodgers 1075 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 1: for let's say one to three years max and win 1076 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Here's the thing too, this I don't 1077 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,320 Speaker 1: interview that Aaron Rodgers did with the Paton McAfee show, 1078 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,640 Speaker 1: or maybe he's still doing it. If compensation, if the 1079 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 1: compensation is the real hold up for the Packers and 1080 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 1: the Jets. Aaron Rodgers going on to say he's ninety 1081 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 1: percent retired before we went into the Darkness retreat and 1082 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 1: all that, and then finding out that they were shopping 1083 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,920 Speaker 1: and then he comes back. Does that does that make 1084 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 1: him less valuable? I think it does. I think his 1085 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 1: value and the safeguards that the Jets have for his 1086 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 1: play and what he's gonna bring to them long term, 1087 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 1: however long or short term you're looking at one or 1088 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,960 Speaker 1: two one year, two years, three years, whatever you're thinking 1089 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 1: the best case scenario is. Isn't that jeopardized now that 1090 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 1: he has said, man, I was almost retired. I mean, 1091 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 1: if you're at the Jets, it's like, we gotta have 1092 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 1: some safeguards, right, Yeah. So listen, if he comes in 1093 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 1: plays one year for us and we go to the playoffs, 1094 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 1: we'll give you a one. Are they gonna give Zach Wilson. 1095 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Another chance is Aaron Rodgers there too to help Zach Wilson. 1096 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's done. They could get rid of him for free, 1097 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,120 Speaker 1: they would. But if Aaron comes in there and they 1098 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 1: go to the playoffs and they wouldn't play, wouldn't your 1099 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,000 Speaker 1: compensation be? Okay? All right? Didn't you know him a 1100 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,920 Speaker 1: number one pick? If he comes in and he plays 1101 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,960 Speaker 1: two years and you go to the playoff both years, 1102 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,360 Speaker 1: maybe two number ones then. But if he comes in 1103 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,600 Speaker 1: plays for you, you don't go to the playoffs and 1104 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 1: he retires after the season, I'm not giving him one 1105 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: for that, right, So isn't doesn't there have to be 1106 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 1: this wide range of safeguards that the Jets want to 1107 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: put in place in case it doesn't go well for him. 1108 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: And if you're the Packers, If you're the Packers, how 1109 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 1: bad do you want to get rid of the guy 1110 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,680 Speaker 1: that you're saying? Fine, yes, let's do that, because if 1111 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:21,160 Speaker 1: they say no, you're back to square one where you 1112 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,880 Speaker 1: were a year ago, and without Alan Lazar and Marcedes Lewis, 1113 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 1: there's no more options out there for you. Yeah, really, 1114 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback, you're done unless you want to be a 1115 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:35,280 Speaker 1: part of Lamar talks, and you can't be if you're 1116 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 1: the Packers, you're not gonna you got Jordan Love. You 1117 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 1: gotta find out about him. I mean the Jets, the 1118 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 1: Jets doesn't work out for the Jets, yeah, that's yeah. 1119 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,800 Speaker 1: But for the Jets, I mean that's a Aaron Rodgers 1120 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 1: is cheaper by far, and you don't have to give up. 1121 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:56,560 Speaker 1: Well if the ones and the money, the money is 1122 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 1: is just this year. Really it's a fifty eight million 1123 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 1: dollars cap hit, which is a lot of money. Aaron 1124 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:07,360 Speaker 1: Rodgers is way less expensive than Lamar, but you don't 1125 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:12,160 Speaker 1: have him long term. But Lamar doesn't. Lamar has trouble 1126 01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 1: staying healthy for an entire season. Anyway, what do you know? 1127 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. From Albert Breer, he tweets a stroke 1128 01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 1: of genius in the Packers contract with Aaron Rodgers, his 1129 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 1: fifty eight point three million dollar option bonus can be 1130 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,680 Speaker 1: exercised at any point between now and September first Tasker. 1131 01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 1: So Green Bay has all the time in the world 1132 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,880 Speaker 1: to trade Aaron Rodgers. Maybe maybe there is no rush 1133 01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:42,040 Speaker 1: to get this done. Yeah, maybe the compensation talks could 1134 01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 1: go on for quite some time. Other news out there 1135 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 1: right now, Buccaneers are signing back linebacker Lavante David to 1136 01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 1: a one year deal, per Josina Anderson. More linebackers off 1137 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 1: the market is interesting too, because for the Jet think 1138 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 1: about this, for the Packers and for the Jets. At 1139 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 1: four o'clock today, Lamar Jackson can start calling teams.

You You know what 1142 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean. So he can call all thirty one other 1143 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 1: teams and say, here's what my deal is, Here's what 1144 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 1: I'm asking for. How about it? What if he calls 1145 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 1: the Jets, which I would call the Jets and say, 1146 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 1: what's the deal with Aaron Rodgers? And I mean, I'm 1147 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, you get two one and what kind of 1148 01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 1: contract you're gonna get? You're gonna pay Aaron Rodgers fifty 1149 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 1: eight million this year? You can pay me half of 1150 01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,920 Speaker 1: that and guarantee me more down the line and get it. 1151 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: Get me at twenty six year, twenty five, twenty six 1152 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 1: years old, twenty seven, whatever he is. Now, that's not 1153 01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 1: a band aid for that team. That would be that'd 1154 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:57,240 Speaker 1: be a fixed team for the long haul. That's a difference. 1155 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:04,600 Speaker 1: That's a difference. But he's asking for big time money soon, 1156 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:09,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers for this it's this year, yes, so think 1157 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 1: about it. So the Jets could pay the same money 1158 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 1: over the course of the first two years instead of 1159 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,920 Speaker 1: just one year and still continue to draft well, although 1160 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 1: they'd give two ones. That's that's interesting because at four 1161 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 1: o'clock today, the Jets can say, you know what, green Bay, 1162 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 1: that's great, but we're going to talk to Lamar and 1163 01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:33,040 Speaker 1: green Bay could stretch this out as long as they want, yeah, 1164 01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 1: to September first. And here's the thing. If if green 1165 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: Bay wants to do that and the Jets are out 1166 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,919 Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers, now they got to talk to Aaron 1167 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:45,200 Speaker 1: about laying Hey, what about going to Carolina or what 1168 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,520 Speaker 1: about going to Houston or what about going to And 1169 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,400 Speaker 1: at that point, Tampa Bay that late. Who's going to 1170 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 1: pick up that type of money? And that's contract, that's right, 1171 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: it's you're late in the game. Yeah, you budget for 1172 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 1: that early. You know budget, So I'm late. If I'm 1173 01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,760 Speaker 1: the Jets, I'm sitting tight for a minute until I 1174 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 1: find out about Lamar, because then you got then you 1175 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,720 Speaker 1: can play both. You can you like a weigh the 1176 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:12,800 Speaker 1: scales and get a better reading on apples to apples 1177 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: instead of not knowing, could you got to find out 1178 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 1: what Lamar wants? Yeah, Chuck's been hanging on the phone, 1179 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:24,000 Speaker 1: So let's go to Chuck in a Hamburg. Chuck, you're 1180 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 1: on with us now on one Bills Live. What decisions 1181 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 1: do you think the Bills have to make here in 1182 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 1: free agency? Thanks for having me, Maddie, Steve, get your 1183 01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,880 Speaker 1: white board out, Okay, go ahead. Davis is going to 1184 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:43,480 Speaker 1: be Josh's main man next year? Who is Gabe Davis? Davis? Okay? 1185 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:47,440 Speaker 1: I say this because he's gonna have eight months to 1186 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:51,480 Speaker 1: rehab that ankle of his and he'll get open as 1187 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: much as he did in that fourth quarter against Kansas City. 1188 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 1: All right, I like that. I like that. Do you 1189 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,280 Speaker 1: have anywhere else do you think the Bills need to 1190 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,920 Speaker 1: add to? So you think wide receivers? All right, so 1191 01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: far for the Bills. I think the Bills have one 1192 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 1: of the top receiving units in the NFL. Digs Shakire 1193 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 1: Knocks and Dave Davids. They got a quick spending money 1194 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,760 Speaker 1: out of wide receivers. They can bring them in on 1195 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: free agents. So if you think wide receiver room is 1196 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,719 Speaker 1: good to go for this team for this upcoming season. 1197 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 1: Is there a position room that you think the team 1198 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,120 Speaker 1: needs to add to within the next week or so. 1199 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:40,719 Speaker 1: Offensive and defensive lines beat them up, open some holes 1200 01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:45,200 Speaker 1: so that Cook can run free. I'll tell you this, Chuck. 1201 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,439 Speaker 1: Excuse me, Chuck, I'll tell you this. You're speaking my language. 1202 01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,439 Speaker 1: I said the exact same thing earlier in the show. 1203 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 1: I think I like this receiving corps. I think the 1204 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:58,160 Speaker 1: skill positions are set, particularly with this Deonte Harding Hardy 1205 01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 1: being signed today poor years back in the fold. I 1206 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:03,439 Speaker 1: think this is a team you can roll forward with. 1207 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,120 Speaker 1: But you do need to refurbish and strengthen your offensive 1208 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 1: and defensive line. I said those exact words, Chuck. So 1209 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. So that good for you, good 1210 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,240 Speaker 1: for me. We agree. Let's go get some ice cream 1211 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 1: at your place. Man. Yeah, all right, all right, thanks Chuck, 1212 01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:26,600 Speaker 1: Thanks Chuck, appreciate it. Offensive and defensive line, well, we 1213 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 1: said it yesterday. You need to add some depth to 1214 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 1: the offensive line here. Yeah, and they will. I mean 1215 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,680 Speaker 1: they've got You looked at the roster and there were 1216 01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 1: there were ten guys on the roster right now. At 1217 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:39,599 Speaker 1: offensive line. I think they went into training camp with 1218 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:43,880 Speaker 1: about fifteen offensive lineman. Defensive line. Offensive line are two 1219 01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,400 Speaker 1: position groups that they like to go heavy on in 1220 01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,599 Speaker 1: training camp. You can keep a lot of players on 1221 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:54,679 Speaker 1: your roster journey five guys so and it goes Connor McGovern, 1222 01:09:54,800 --> 01:10:03,040 Speaker 1: Mitch Morris, but Greg Mans, Ryan Bates, Ryan Vandermark, Alex Anderson, 1223 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,840 Speaker 1: Spencer Brown, Dion Dawkins, and Tommy Doyle. They've got ten 1224 01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 1: guys on the roster right now, Connor McGovern, can you 1225 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,919 Speaker 1: can pencil him as a starter one of the guard spots. 1226 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 1: All those guys are are on the club already. That's ten, 1227 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,280 Speaker 1: and they'll sign, they'll draft and sign some more. Since 1228 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about some names position groups, let's get to 1229 01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 1: our tweet sheet that's presented by Corrigan Moving Systems, the 1230 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 1: official equipment moving systems of the Buffalo Bills. If the 1231 01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,799 Speaker 1: Bills are just swing big and free agency, if Brandon 1232 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,679 Speaker 1: Bean is going to be big baller Bean and free agency, 1233 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 1: who do you want? Justin says, I would still like 1234 01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,639 Speaker 1: to see Derrick Henry or Austin Eckler if Zeke is released, 1235 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,839 Speaker 1: which reports out there have said that he will be released. 1236 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 1: I'd like to have him as well, but it would 1237 01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,360 Speaker 1: have to be a cheap deal. Are you in on 1238 01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:59,760 Speaker 1: any of these names, Derek Henry, Austin Ekeler or Zeke. Yeah, 1239 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,360 Speaker 1: all good players if you can get him for the 1240 01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,640 Speaker 1: right price, but none of them are Derrick Henry you're 1241 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,479 Speaker 1: gonna have to trade for, Austin Eckler you could have 1242 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 1: to trade for as well, and Zeke if he gets released. 1243 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,519 Speaker 1: One of the reasons I don't like Zeke is because 1244 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:12,599 Speaker 1: when he signed the big deal, he stopped running hard, 1245 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 1: So I'm out on him. And Derrick Henry might be 1246 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,559 Speaker 1: used up, but certainly he wouldn't come in and get 1247 01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 1: the ball twenty five times here. He may get a 1248 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 1: twelve or fifty, maybe tops fifteen times a game. We'll 1249 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 1: see what that means. And Austin Eckler, I like our 1250 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:34,880 Speaker 1: guy better than him anyway. Yeah, so yeah, no, I 1251 01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 1: would say probably not any of those guys. And I 1252 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,200 Speaker 1: don't think a running back is going to solve any 1253 01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,760 Speaker 1: problems on our team that you know, not that this 1254 01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:47,240 Speaker 1: offense had too many problems to begin with. So I'd 1255 01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,960 Speaker 1: like to see James Cook get a more lion's share 1256 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,640 Speaker 1: of that carries right now, Naheim Hines. Maybe maybe not, 1257 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,559 Speaker 1: And certainly you can find a guy to help those 1258 01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,840 Speaker 1: two guys out and carry the load if you want. So, 1259 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:00,800 Speaker 1: there's plenty guys on the free agent market that you 1260 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,040 Speaker 1: can get much cheaper than any of the three guys 1261 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:07,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned. And of the three of them, the only 1262 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,559 Speaker 1: guy that interests me maybe is Derrick Henry because he's 1263 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 1: a different cat. Yep, that's what I would say. And 1264 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,679 Speaker 1: even even with that, would he want to go somewhere 1265 01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:19,240 Speaker 1: where he's getting twelve touches a game? Maybe this point 1266 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 1: is clear, But I think most guys want to play 1267 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,400 Speaker 1: and they want to be on the field. But if 1268 01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, if you're asking me about him, I don't 1269 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,479 Speaker 1: think he would be as effective in the offense the 1270 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,120 Speaker 1: Bills run because they've got a quarterback that's not Ryan Tannehill. 1271 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 1: Marco says it has to be Hopkins, a unicorn alien 1272 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:41,240 Speaker 1: once and a generation franchise quarterback. That's a great way 1273 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 1: to describe Josh Allen deserves a true number one wide receiver. 1274 01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,200 Speaker 1: Wide receivers and with the losses on defense, they're going 1275 01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,719 Speaker 1: to need more scoring this season. I agree, the Bills 1276 01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,280 Speaker 1: need to score more this season because there's a lot 1277 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,320 Speaker 1: of other teams in the NFL who can also score 1278 01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,680 Speaker 1: just as much as the Bills can. DeAndre Hopkins, that 1279 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,479 Speaker 1: would be a nice name. Can they afford somebody like him? 1280 01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,679 Speaker 1: He's too true, too true, too true. He didn't spell 1281 01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:10,280 Speaker 1: it right, but yeah, yeah, I'm about DeAndre Hopkins can 1282 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,160 Speaker 1: really play now. He's longer in the tooth. He's an 1283 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:13,960 Speaker 1: older guy. You won't have him for years and years 1284 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,760 Speaker 1: and years. But that guy's really good, really good. He 1285 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:22,280 Speaker 1: has absolutely enormous hands. He catches the ball extremely well, 1286 01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:26,880 Speaker 1: gets separation, makes tough in traffic, he easily when in 1287 01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,160 Speaker 1: his prime, I would have taken him over any receiver 1288 01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:35,479 Speaker 1: in the league. He's phenomenal. He's good. So if you 1289 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 1: can get him now and get him at the right 1290 01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:40,240 Speaker 1: price and get him installed in the offense, he will help. 1291 01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:44,759 Speaker 1: No question. Andreas says Bobby Wagner in trade for Jerry Judy. 1292 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 1: Please still no news about Bobby Wagner. We got got 1293 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,559 Speaker 1: earlier today on a fake report that said he was 1294 01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,599 Speaker 1: maybe considering the Bills trade for Jerry Judy. We talked 1295 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,519 Speaker 1: about that earlier in the show. According to reports the 1296 01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,639 Speaker 1: Broncos want of for round pick for Jerry Judy, who 1297 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:03,720 Speaker 1: was drafted in the first round. Was played in the 1298 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:08,439 Speaker 1: NFL for three seasons. He's fifteenth overall. Had some injury 1299 01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,599 Speaker 1: problems last year. Maybe I think what was two years ago? 1300 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:18,280 Speaker 1: Two years ago, he's up for grabs for a one, 1301 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:21,720 Speaker 1: maybe more, but at least a one. So if you're 1302 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,759 Speaker 1: tough and he was picked fifteenth overall, if you're looking 1303 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,599 Speaker 1: for a guy, are there any wide receivers in this 1304 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,800 Speaker 1: draft class? Can yeah, can do what Jerry Judy can do? No? 1305 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,559 Speaker 1: Not that are proven like he is. I'm Jerry Judy 1306 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,839 Speaker 1: is better than any receiver in this draft in my opinion, 1307 01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:39,919 Speaker 1: and you're picking twenty seventh. He was picked fifteenth overall, 1308 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,559 Speaker 1: and he's three years into his deal. He'll have two 1309 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:47,240 Speaker 1: years of him on his rookie deal left, which two 1310 01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 1: years for this team, it's pretty good. So if you 1311 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 1: trade a one for him, get two years out of him, 1312 01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,040 Speaker 1: and then have a chance to sign him or whatever 1313 01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:58,680 Speaker 1: or franchise him at the end of it. Even if 1314 01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:02,840 Speaker 1: he's that good, UM, I might think about it. For 1315 01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:08,920 Speaker 1: two years. He's a twenty seventh pick of the draft. 1316 01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,240 Speaker 1: Isn't like a seventh pick of the draft. Yeah, but 1317 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 1: a twenty seventh pick for a guy who was the 1318 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:18,639 Speaker 1: fifteenth pick, I might think about that. Yeah, he would help. 1319 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,800 Speaker 1: He's a good player, six ninety four. He's not quite 1320 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:23,439 Speaker 1: as big as Gabe Davis. Would you wouldn't have give 1321 01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 1: up Gabe Davis. You'd have him and Jerry Judy and 1322 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 1: then you you know, you've got some guys that's twenty 1323 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,080 Speaker 1: seven if you're sitting that low in the draft, in 1324 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 1: the first round, but light and wide receivers anyway, it 1325 01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,720 Speaker 1: could be light and wide receivers, and Brandon bead could 1326 01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:38,720 Speaker 1: get to the point where they're they're up on the 1327 01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 1: clock and he's saying, I don't have any more first 1328 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,719 Speaker 1: round grade players that are left, so we're gonna trade 1329 01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:48,599 Speaker 1: back and get more. Maybe it's not worth trading back 1330 01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,800 Speaker 1: if if that's a scenario, you can't predict things like that. 1331 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:56,200 Speaker 1: But and then two, um, you had to let free 1332 01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:59,160 Speaker 1: agency roll around and get your get your roster filled 1333 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,280 Speaker 1: out with some players that you feel comfortable about, because 1334 01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,960 Speaker 1: you may get there and you may think, man, if 1335 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,479 Speaker 1: there's a if there's a player on the offensive or 1336 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,880 Speaker 1: defensive line or if there's a corner or if there's 1337 01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 1: a wide or whatever. If there's somebody there I really 1338 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,080 Speaker 1: want or that we really need and there's a couple 1339 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,040 Speaker 1: of guys there that will fit, we'll draft that guy. 1340 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:19,479 Speaker 1: But if you, like you said, if you get there 1341 01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,080 Speaker 1: and your your roster's kind of full and you kind 1342 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:22,680 Speaker 1: of got some guys you feel good about, and you 1343 01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 1: want to take the best player available, but there's really 1344 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,320 Speaker 1: none that are going to crack your lineup or that 1345 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:31,479 Speaker 1: you're really planning on, So maybe you do, say, you 1346 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,719 Speaker 1: know what, Denver All, give you this pick for Jerry 1347 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,519 Speaker 1: Judy because maybe your board says something different than ours. Yeah, 1348 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,320 Speaker 1: he's a good receiver. All right, We've got some callers 1349 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,080 Speaker 1: hanging on the line, So we'll get to you here 1350 01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: in our next segment, taking a couple of minutes off. 1351 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,519 Speaker 1: See you in a few where One Bills Live or 1352 01:16:47,560 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 1: presented by Clyde to Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, 1353 01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,559 Speaker 1: this Bill's roster for the twenty twenty three season is 1354 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,240 Speaker 1: starting to take shape a little bit. Not that the 1355 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,880 Speaker 1: Bills have been crazily active in free agency or over 1356 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,679 Speaker 1: the last few days, but there have been some names 1357 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,479 Speaker 1: that have been linked to this team as agreeing to 1358 01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:23,040 Speaker 1: terms and going to sign deals. One of those players, 1359 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,839 Speaker 1: according to reports, is Deontay A Hardy, a wide receiver, 1360 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 1: and then Jordan Poyer we know that name, agreed to 1361 01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:33,320 Speaker 1: terms with the Bills today on a two year deal. 1362 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 1: It's also been reported Ryan Talbot has this on the 1363 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:41,559 Speaker 1: Deontay Hearty signing. Apparently there was, you know, quite a 1364 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 1: market for him out there, and he chose the Bills 1365 01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,040 Speaker 1: because he felt they were better fit for his skill set, 1366 01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 1: which is something I think we agreed on as well. 1367 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a guy that you can use, and 1368 01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 1: I think everybody has a spot for a guy like 1369 01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,000 Speaker 1: him who's a playmaker. He's undersized, no question, but the 1370 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,719 Speaker 1: skills that he brings speed and his ability to catch, 1371 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:06,639 Speaker 1: make guys miss outrun people just see game breaking makes 1372 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:08,920 Speaker 1: him valuable. And I think, and this says, it's nice 1373 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,519 Speaker 1: to know the one team in on him. No was 1374 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,639 Speaker 1: there's a handful or more teams that were really interested 1375 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 1: in Deontay Hardy, and he chose the Bills as much 1376 01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,040 Speaker 1: as the Bills chose in. You also wonder if a 1377 01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,559 Speaker 1: player like this, and Isaah McKenzie has done this for 1378 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,920 Speaker 1: this team before, but maybe those two could be competing 1379 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,719 Speaker 1: for time on the field this season. You wonder if 1380 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:33,320 Speaker 1: Deontay Hardy esque player could bring some of the window 1381 01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,960 Speaker 1: dressing back to this offense. We didn't see too much 1382 01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 1: of it here in Ken Dorsey's first season as an 1383 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,479 Speaker 1: offensive play caller, but maybe in year two as an 1384 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,200 Speaker 1: offensive play caller, we do see some more creativity in 1385 01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:50,000 Speaker 1: this offense. We knew the first year as an offensive 1386 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,920 Speaker 1: play caller, you're gonna learn. You're gonna do a lot 1387 01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:54,840 Speaker 1: in her first year, and you're also going to learn 1388 01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 1: a lot. You're gonna go back to games and think 1389 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 1: I should have done this differently. I'm happy this, here's 1390 01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 1: where I can learn. You better believe that this offense 1391 01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 1: is gonna He's going to be in a better position 1392 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,479 Speaker 1: to call this offense in his second year with one 1393 01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:14,680 Speaker 1: year under his belt. He's also really good and you 1394 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:17,879 Speaker 1: watch you look him up and his high life best 1395 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:23,200 Speaker 1: college right quarterbacks at Miami. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm still 1396 01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 1: talking about the other guy, the the little guy Hardy. 1397 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:30,960 Speaker 1: I was kind of figuring what his skills is. The 1398 01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,680 Speaker 1: guys run after catch is what The Bills have not 1399 01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,479 Speaker 1: been very good at that and that's been really good. Yeah, 1400 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:38,799 Speaker 1: that's been something with this coaching staff and the scouting 1401 01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:42,840 Speaker 1: department has said, we want to add run after catchability 1402 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 1: to our offense. That's something that we believe we don't 1403 01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 1: have enough of run after the catch ability that and 1404 01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,880 Speaker 1: that's a two part thing. That's that's a Josh Allen 1405 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 1: helps with that, and your wide receiver or the person 1406 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,360 Speaker 1: catching the pass from Josh Allen or making plays also 1407 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:07,120 Speaker 1: helps with that. Deontay Hardy run after catchability. Sign me up. 1408 01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:10,480 Speaker 1: If he can offer that to this offense, right, it's 1409 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:13,960 Speaker 1: a I think it's a huge move. It looks better 1410 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 1: and better certainly some of it has. Some of it has, 1411 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,559 Speaker 1: you know, Isaiah McKenzie all over it because we've seen 1412 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,400 Speaker 1: a guy like like we've seen that gadget guy before 1413 01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:29,719 Speaker 1: and he's helped. This could be nothing more than bringing 1414 01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:33,120 Speaker 1: a guy into compete with Isaiah McKenzie for that role 1415 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 1: on your offense. We've said too, Uh, no question. I 1416 01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,639 Speaker 1: think if you're going to stand the two side by side, 1417 01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,760 Speaker 1: Hardy maybe a better return guy than McKenzie is. He 1418 01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,000 Speaker 1: was an All Pro at that spot. Yeah, and his 1419 01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:48,960 Speaker 1: rookie year he earned all Pro and pro bowler. That's 1420 01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:52,280 Speaker 1: that's hard to do. That's really hard to do. And 1421 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 1: he came to get a guy like that's big. Yeah, 1422 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,479 Speaker 1: to get a guy like that is big, that's no question. 1423 01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 1: All Right. We've had some callers hanging on the line, 1424 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,280 Speaker 1: so let's get to them. Marty from Rochester, you've been 1425 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:06,720 Speaker 1: hanging on so let's go to Marty. Marty, how are 1426 01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:11,280 Speaker 1: you doing today? Good Marty. What do you think the 1427 01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:13,680 Speaker 1: Bills need to do in the next couple days in 1428 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 1: free agency? I'm wondering why they don't pursue Odell Beckham. 1429 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I thought he was a good friend of 1430 01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,000 Speaker 1: von Miller's and they were going to work together to 1431 01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,559 Speaker 1: try and get him over there. Can you imagine him 1432 01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,920 Speaker 1: gage Davis and Digs on the same field at the 1433 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,240 Speaker 1: same time. No one would stop him, no one. Yeah, 1434 01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,320 Speaker 1: And it's interesting. I don't know that the Bills are 1435 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 1: going to be in on that because Odell, whatever Odell 1436 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,000 Speaker 1: Beckham's asking for, it might be too big a number 1437 01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:43,439 Speaker 1: for the Bills, and the Bills might not want to 1438 01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:45,080 Speaker 1: do it. Plus, I think with the signing of this 1439 01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:48,120 Speaker 1: hearty kid, the Bills might think, you know, we're good 1440 01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,799 Speaker 1: no question. Odell is a really good player, and whatever 1441 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,599 Speaker 1: team he goes to, he's gonna help. But if you're 1442 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,640 Speaker 1: not in the spot where you can give him the 1443 01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:00,559 Speaker 1: kind or want to give him the kind of deal 1444 01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,639 Speaker 1: he's looking for, Certainly, I think a guy like Beckham 1445 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,680 Speaker 1: is looking for a longer term deal. I don't think 1446 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:10,640 Speaker 1: that's that's what he said. Yeah, I don't know if 1447 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 1: the Bills are in a position financially that they can 1448 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,080 Speaker 1: give him what he wants or what he's going to 1449 01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:15,800 Speaker 1: get on the open market. Now. He may be just 1450 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:17,280 Speaker 1: and I hate to say it, but he might be 1451 01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 1: just priced out of their out of their ability for 1452 01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,400 Speaker 1: the Bills to get him. Certainly, the Bills know what 1453 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,439 Speaker 1: they'd have to do to get him to sign here, 1454 01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:30,080 Speaker 1: and I think that's probably the reason he isn't. Yeah, 1455 01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they have any problems with him as 1456 01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:33,920 Speaker 1: a player or as a person or any of that. 1457 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 1: I think it's it's strictly money and term. I mean, 1458 01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 1: if you can make it work for another wide receiver, 1459 01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm all in if it's Odell Beckham junior, if it's 1460 01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:52,439 Speaker 1: d hop Although with the cap space that this team 1461 01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,439 Speaker 1: has and the moves that they've made to retain a 1462 01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 1: player like Jordan Poyer and to eventually sign a player 1463 01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 1: like Deontay Party. The number keeps getting smaller and smaller 1464 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:07,280 Speaker 1: the more moves that you make. Yeah, so is there 1465 01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:10,400 Speaker 1: going to be another splash? It would be great for 1466 01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,759 Speaker 1: this team for this upcoming season to add another weapon 1467 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 1: to this offense, to add another weapon for Josh Allen. 1468 01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,160 Speaker 1: The probability of that happening, I think as we continue 1469 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:23,280 Speaker 1: to see guys who are linked to the Bills maybe 1470 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,720 Speaker 1: gets smaller and smaller. We've got another caller hanging on 1471 01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:30,479 Speaker 1: the line. It's Jason from Tonawanda. Jason, you're on with 1472 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,960 Speaker 1: us on one Bills Live. How are you doing today? 1473 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,519 Speaker 1: I'm doing good? How about yourself doing good? What do 1474 01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,080 Speaker 1: you think the Bills should do to add to this roster? 1475 01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 1: I think part of it is like it just seems 1476 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:43,920 Speaker 1: like a lot of the fans and a lot of 1477 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,040 Speaker 1: the fan base are throwing like, you know, you heard 1478 01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 1: about d Hop and the running backs, that the Trio 1479 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:51,160 Speaker 1: running backs, that mentioned Heckler and Cook and Henry, and 1480 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,760 Speaker 1: then you've had a mention of Odell just with the 1481 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,280 Speaker 1: last caller. I don't think it's as simple as just 1482 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,920 Speaker 1: throwing big names onto a team like yeah, of course, 1483 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:01,280 Speaker 1: would it probably help most likely, But we saw what 1484 01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:03,800 Speaker 1: happened then for last year, you add Russell Wilson, do 1485 01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:06,679 Speaker 1: it decent offense and then with weapons and it didn't 1486 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,759 Speaker 1: go so well. It happens to other places as well. 1487 01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:10,880 Speaker 1: I think more of it is just executing, because if 1488 01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:12,559 Speaker 1: you look at like, we're not a bad offense, we're 1489 01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,000 Speaker 1: one of the league's best offense. It's just executing in 1490 01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:16,680 Speaker 1: the red zone. We didn't do very well in the 1491 01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:18,800 Speaker 1: red zone last year, and I think if we improve 1492 01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:22,559 Speaker 1: that number just by i'd say a lot, but a bit, 1493 01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,519 Speaker 1: we're gonna be much better, regardless of how much better 1494 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: we do on paper, because we do have Stefan Diggs, 1495 01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:29,679 Speaker 1: we do have a top two quarterback in the league. 1496 01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:32,479 Speaker 1: We've got James Cook who does a lot of things 1497 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,120 Speaker 1: really really well. I think he was just a rookie 1498 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: last year and you saw some of the slips and 1499 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 1: and just some of the learning curves he's going through. 1500 01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:41,080 Speaker 1: But you can add a north Self guy, you know. 1501 01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 1: As far as running backs later in the draft, I 1502 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 1: don't think we need to spend a boatload more money 1503 01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:47,760 Speaker 1: on a bigger name. There's certain spots we need to 1504 01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:49,320 Speaker 1: get better at, and I think I don't think Ken 1505 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 1: Dorsey is in branding Bean's office asking hey add this name, 1506 01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:53,960 Speaker 1: add that name. I think he took kind of a 1507 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 1: lot of responsibility from last year, knows what needs to 1508 01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,360 Speaker 1: get better with and the only hope is that he 1509 01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:00,880 Speaker 1: does right. And I just want to ended by saying, 1510 01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:04,000 Speaker 1: I am excited about the season now. It's a breath 1511 01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 1: of fresh air that we brought back Jordan Poyer. I 1512 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,280 Speaker 1: am like, this is the first I've been super excited 1513 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 1: about the season because I wanted him back so bad. 1514 01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:13,600 Speaker 1: He is the glue to this unit. He's huge in 1515 01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:15,760 Speaker 1: the locker room and he is even bigger with the 1516 01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:19,000 Speaker 1: fan base. So thanks for taking my calling. I'll listen. 1517 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,400 Speaker 1: Thank you. Thanks Jason, And I would agree with you. 1518 01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 1: Execution is what is the key thing, and I'm glad 1519 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,559 Speaker 1: you agree. I agree with me with what I was 1520 01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,960 Speaker 1: saying earlier in the show. I know they didn't win 1521 01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,760 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, but this offense was really good last year. 1522 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 1: They were number two in scoring. They were I mean, 1523 01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:38,800 Speaker 1: they were really good, and they did ask some you know, 1524 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,720 Speaker 1: they you'd like to see him better on I don't 1525 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 1: know what in red zone. Yes, of course you'd like 1526 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,519 Speaker 1: to see him better, score more touchdowns and kicking field 1527 01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:48,920 Speaker 1: goals all of that stuff. But man, they were really, 1528 01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:52,240 Speaker 1: really good and they don't need too much tweaking. Certainly, 1529 01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,599 Speaker 1: you need to replace some guys whose contracts have run out. 1530 01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 1: This Deontay Hardy signings has some promise to it. Certainly 1531 01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,519 Speaker 1: the poor your things, you some security and makes you 1532 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:03,600 Speaker 1: makes us all feel warm and fuzzy inside that this 1533 01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,679 Speaker 1: guy's coming back to play for us. I'm with you 1534 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,240 Speaker 1: in a year that they just had at the end 1535 01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,719 Speaker 1: of a three year run that they've just had, I'm 1536 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:19,040 Speaker 1: perfectly willing not to really really upset the apple cart 1537 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,160 Speaker 1: by bringing in, you know, this guy or that guy 1538 01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 1: changing guys out. They're a really good football team right now, 1539 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,280 Speaker 1: and I think the guys they have on the team 1540 01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 1: last year are going to get better this year under 1541 01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:34,280 Speaker 1: another year with Aaron Cromer, with Ken Dorsey and the crew, 1542 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,760 Speaker 1: I think improvement is well within their reach, and I 1543 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,559 Speaker 1: think they're committed to doing that. They struggled in red 1544 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:42,960 Speaker 1: zone efficiency early on in the season, but by the 1545 01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:44,599 Speaker 1: end of the year they worked it up to being 1546 01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 1: ranked ninth in the NFL, scoring touchdowns in the red 1547 01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,679 Speaker 1: zone over sixty percent of the time. Sixty point three 1548 01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,400 Speaker 1: percent is that number there? When we return, we're going 1549 01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 1: to close things up here at One Bills Live. So 1550 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,040 Speaker 1: stick with us. We're presented by Kalid to Health on 1551 01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:16,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back here on One Bills Live 1552 01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:19,719 Speaker 1: and just over an hour away from when the new 1553 01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:23,639 Speaker 1: league year begins. That's four o'clock Eastern time today. That's 1554 01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 1: when free agency officially begins. But we already know quite 1555 01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,320 Speaker 1: a bit with all the tampering rules now in the NFL. So, Steve, 1556 01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,160 Speaker 1: based on what we have seen today with the Bills, 1557 01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:36,479 Speaker 1: how are you feeling about this roster? How are you 1558 01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:39,160 Speaker 1: feeling about the moves made? I like it, I mean 1559 01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:40,519 Speaker 1: I liked it at the end of the last season. 1560 01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:42,720 Speaker 1: Certainly they got some voids left by free agency, but 1561 01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:47,400 Speaker 1: with Poyor signing back and the young guys they got 1562 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:50,519 Speaker 1: from last year, they got a bolth of their offensive line, 1563 01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 1: which they started to do with Connor McGovern. I mean, 1564 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:56,439 Speaker 1: they got some Yeah. I feel a lot better than 1565 01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,920 Speaker 1: I thought I might, you know, a lot better. So 1566 01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,080 Speaker 1: thanks to you being here for the first half of 1567 01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:04,640 Speaker 1: the week. We got through it. Now we got it. 1568 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,719 Speaker 1: We got better in and somebody just tweeted it, we're better. 1569 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,439 Speaker 1: The Bills are better right now than they were after 1570 01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,000 Speaker 1: Week two of the twenty two season because they lost 1571 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:14,600 Speaker 1: Hide that day. You know, they lost a couple of 1572 01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:17,800 Speaker 1: guys and we're looking healthy. So yeah, they're healthy, and 1573 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,639 Speaker 1: they've got some frontline guys who have got some chops. 1574 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:25,040 Speaker 1: I think Poyer is big freaking time to get him 1575 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 1: back on this team. He is a foundational piece to 1576 01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:31,120 Speaker 1: this defense. What him and Micah Hyde can do, the 1577 01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: type of conversation that they're able to have, they know 1578 01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:38,760 Speaker 1: what they're doing without knowing what they're doing, without being 1579 01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:41,400 Speaker 1: able to have to communicate it. I think it's I 1580 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,559 Speaker 1: think it's huge for this defense to have that back 1581 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:49,040 Speaker 1: in your secondary. This is a team that is operates 1582 01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,559 Speaker 1: the way that they play defense is based on stopping 1583 01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,320 Speaker 1: the past, and having those two back there is so 1584 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,559 Speaker 1: big for what they can do. I certainly, I know 1585 01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,439 Speaker 1: a lot of fans are just like, Wow, that is awesome, 1586 01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,080 Speaker 1: thinking that poor year is going to be back there. 1587 01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,280 Speaker 1: The secondary is going to be really at a high level, 1588 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 1: continue to be at a high level. I think it 1589 01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,280 Speaker 1: says a lot about how fans think about this defense, 1590 01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 1: and it's proven that they've been good with that secondary 1591 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,920 Speaker 1: being this, you know, the anchor of that defense. So 1592 01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,040 Speaker 1: it's good and Maddie, thanks for being in here this week. 1593 01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,599 Speaker 1: It's been awesome. Of course. Chris Brown returns tomorrow. He'll 1594 01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,760 Speaker 1: be back in this seat on Thursday and Friday as 1595 01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:28,040 Speaker 1: the Bills continue to welcome new faces and some old 1596 01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:30,960 Speaker 1: faces back to this team. So make sure you tune 1597 01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,200 Speaker 1: in tomorrow one to three. Chris Brown is back. See 1598 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:34,439 Speaker 1: you then,
