Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome into a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live.

3
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Chris Trapasso with you as Steve is off

4
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: on a camping adventure. He's doing his winter camping with

5
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: his sons, which I still say to this day is

6
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: a little nuts. Yeah, let's go up in the mountains

7
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: at the coldest time of the year.

8
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: That'll be fun.

9
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: And he's not even inside.

10
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: No, they have like a lean to, so you get

11
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: a windy night, you better hope that the right side

12
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: of the lean to is upwind, otherwise you're getting blown

13
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: into the back of the lane to all night long.

14
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: Steve doesn't, and he wasn't healthy yesterday. He's got a

15
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,279
Speaker 2: head cold and everything. I'm like, what are you but Steve?

16
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 4: To me, I mean, you know him better than I do.

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 5: But Steve does seem like a guy that would be

18
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 5: fine breaking the elements out there, and like maybe he's

19
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 5: shut down to his sons too.

20
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: He's a hearty soul, I guess right, So, but.

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 4: That's like a yearly tradition.

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I'll put it to you this way. I'm

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: not doing a lean to on the top of a

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 3: mountain in February. In the end, run I.

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: Would like four walls please, or at least four canvas

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: walls of a tent for some protection from the elements,

27
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: because that that doesn't sound remotely appealing to me.

28
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: The only thing I realized that could maybe keep Steve

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: relatively warm cigars.

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's smoking.

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: Oh they'll be there, Yeah, they'll be there for sure.

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: That's extreme.

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: I don't need to go clamping, but yeah, sure, sure

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 5: there are.

35
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: There are lines of demarcation and and lean to is

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: over the line.

37
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: For me, there's no way I'm doing that.

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: It's also Ash Wednesday today. We you know, I gotta

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: do the Ashes thing tonight. Do you did you grow

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: up in a household where you had to go to

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: church on Ash Wednesday Raise Catholic?

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: Yes, definitely. Uh.

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 5: And there was that period when I was younger where

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 5: I would like feel embarrassed being at school because you

45
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 5: had that, and it's like some you know, the kids

46
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 5: that didn't celebrate or what's on your head?

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 4: What's on your head?

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 5: So yes, we definitely had to go to church, and

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 5: it was I always felt weird.

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: I'm like, it's Wednesday and we're at church. It was strange,

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: but yes, that was definitely part of my upbringing for sure.

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you know this is the time now

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: what about no me Friday and all of that.

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: Yes, because we had to.

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Do like fish or when when I'm when I was

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: a teenager, my mom would just punt and just get

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: a pizza, Like, no meat, We're getting pizza, that's Friday.

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: But my grandfather was a fisherman, so we always had

59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: fish in the freezer, like it was always fish in

60
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: the house. And my mom would always like use bread

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: crumbs and just you know, seasoned bread crumbs, Italian bread crumbs.

62
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Put it in the pan or bake it whatever. So

63
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: I grew up being used to bread bread and fish.

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: And so when I go to fish fries here, not

65
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: that I wouldn't do a beer battered fish fry, but

66
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: there are some locally that are breaded and I love those.

67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: Yes, because that's I guess, because that's what I grew

68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: up on.

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: Totally do you, because it's hard those are not easy

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: to find because there are not nearly as many places

71
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: that do breaded fish in addition to the beer battered.

72
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: And again I'm I'm fine with the beer battered. I'll

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: eat them. Someone puts one in front of me, and

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: you know I'm hungry. I'll eat that.

75
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: But I've always kind of preferred the seasoned bread crumbs

76
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: and the breaded fish, which.

77
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: Is probably a little bit healthier.

78
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah it's not deep fried, you know. Yeah, that's not

79
00:03:59,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: deep bread.

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: So that's that's what I tend to gravitate to. Are

81
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: you a are you a tartar sauce guy?

82
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: Or uh? It's kind of hit or miss.

83
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: It's gotta be if it's too acidic for me, Okay, yeah,

84
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 5: like yeah, like to Vinegary, it kind of turns me

85
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: off after a couple of bites.

86
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: I do love Coleslaw, though, like slaw is underrated. I

87
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: love slaws a good side for a fish fry.

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: My sister I have a twin, and my sister was

89
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 5: just talking to me yesterday how she doesn't like Coleslaw.

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 5: I never knew that because in our family we were

91
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: at a different.

92
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: Restaurant getting fish fry seemingly the entire lens.

93
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: So like I would like beer bedded fresh fry with fries,

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: Coleslaws and tartar sauce.

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: I love that the slaw.

96
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: My only prerequisite with slaw is that it's not too wet, watery, sloppy.

97
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: If it's too watery, it's bad.

98
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: I like, there's gotta be you know, it's got to

99
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: have a consistency to it.

100
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: But it cannot like the slaw cannot be swimming, you

101
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

102
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Like that just I've gotten a major major turnoff on Coleslaw.

103
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, I gotta get a we gotta get rolling

104
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: on fish fries season is here, Yeah, because I'm I'm

105
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: all about it. So yeah, and I feel like Buffalo

106
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: is like what is one of the fish? Yeah, I

107
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: would say I would say unequivocally yes, because growing up

108
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: on Long Island, like I said, my grandfather was a fisherman,

109
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: so it was always fish in the house.

110
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: So we never went.

111
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: Out for fish because it was always in the house

112
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: and we were you know, my mom was Italian, so

113
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: we always had fish on Christmas Eve. Sure that was

114
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: a big thing, but yeah, we never went out for fish.

115
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: Like the only time I remember as a kid going

116
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: out for fish was back when the old Arthur Treacher's

117
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: Fish and Chip restaurants. We're out there and you know,

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: you're getting fish in a little clam boat.

119
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: With some fry.

120
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: I that was all we had. And then you know,

121
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: I moved up here thirty years our.

122
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: Contrast to what you get up here thirty years ago.

123
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: You got fish fry on just about every corner. Yeah

124
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 3: it's crazy.

125
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: But I think that's also because there's a big Catholic

126
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: population here too, so there's a huge market for people

127
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: that are gonna be looking to eat fish on Friday

128
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: or ash Wednesday.

129
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: Today, so you know, I got around it. Today.

130
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: I had a little bean and cheese burrito, so that's

131
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: not meat, so I'm good. And then we're having some

132
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: fish tonight at home, so that's nice.

133
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: I got a tuna steak. I mean, I think I

134
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: grill that up, but I always worry about like you

135
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: want to get a good seare on.

136
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: It, but you don't want to overcook it because then

137
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: it gets like leathery, yeah, rubbery and yeah it's like

138
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: you want that mice pink right in the middle. Usually

139
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: I'll just sit it outside on the grill, run inside,

140
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: do the vegetables and stuff.

141
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: I had got to watch that thing like a hawk.

142
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: I Am not coming inside and leaving it for two

143
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: minutes because I don't want to that is not fun.

144
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: One that's got a nice piece of fish, you don't

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: want to wreck it.

146
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 5: One last thing that I'll say about fish fry season,

147
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 5: there are, like you said, on like every corner. There's

148
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 5: like awesome fish fry all around Washing New York. I

149
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 5: have found that I like them at like the vfw's

150
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: and the Nights of Columbus. Yeah, legion like that are

151
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: they're shelling out one hundred and fifty of them on

152
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 5: a Friday or two hundred for like.

153
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 6: You can just drive up serve them right out of

154
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 6: They're not only are they usually the cheapest, you're usually

155
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 6: getting the most food, three or four sides, and they're

156
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 6: usually they've like perfected it over the years.

157
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 5: So like any local legion, VFW or Knights of Columbus

158
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: do a really good job.

159
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah they do, because I we have one in my

160
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: area in Lancaster, and you can literally drive up to

161
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: the back door and they're just that's. There's one lady

162
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: standing there.

163
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: They're all pay her.

164
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: You pay her, you go to the next stop and

165
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: then they hand you hand them tickets if they gave

166
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: you tickets for what you paid for, and then the

167
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: food's in your hands. You're putting it on the passenger

168
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: seat and you're driving home. It's like a drive through

169
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: at some of those places. I mean they got it

170
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: down to a science. Because I remember when my folks

171
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: were up here and because they were retired they live

172
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: down south now, and I was like, oh, we're gonna

173
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: get fish fries and they're like, where are we going?

174
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: I go, you can stay here. I'm gonna go get

175
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: it and bring it back. Restaurant you go. I'm like, restaurant,

176
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to polish Falcons. Right, They're like, drow. You

177
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: did a drive through where they were so dumbfounded by

178
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: it. It was hilarious.

179
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: But let's get to NFL news because as we get

180
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: closer and closer to the start of the league year,

181
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: teams are making more and more decisions with respect to

182
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: their roster to become CAP compliant, et cetera, et cetera.

183
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: So let's go around the NFL, which is presented by

184
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

185
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: And first out of the shoot here is the Patrick

186
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 2: Mahomes News. So the Chiefs have restructured his contract. This

187
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: was widely expected because the Chiefs were way over the cap,

188
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: so the restructure lowered mahomes twenty twenty six cap number,

189
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: creating over forty three million dollars in cap space. Chiefs

190
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: are still over right now the projected cap even with

191
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: that move, but they have other restructures likely and possible

192
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: cap casualties lined up. I know Jowan Taylor's a name

193
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: of interest. Their people are wondering whether they're going to

194
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: restructure him or whether they're just going to release him,

195
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: because he's had a rough couple of years. I mean

196
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: with off sides panelty fallse starts lining up too far

197
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: back in the backfield.

198
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: He's been flagged for that.

199
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: I think he was the most flagged offensive lineman in

200
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. I didn't check the end of season

201
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: results yet this year to see who was at the

202
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: top of the list, but I wouldn't be surprised if

203
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: he was still in the top five. He struggles, and

204
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: in light of how the season ended for Mahomes, everybody's

205
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: talking about getting new weapons for the Chiefs, and I'm

206
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: not saying they won't do that, but I think they

207
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: also after the way the season ended, and I realized

208
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: Mahomes got an acl running outside the pocket, but they

209
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 2: got to fix his protection big time.

210
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it felt like two or three years ago

211
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 5: when they signed John Taylor and signed Donovan Smith. I

212
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 5: don't want to say that the Chiefs organization and their

213
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 5: GM Brett Viach they were arrogant, but they were like, hey,

214
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 5: we don't really need the best offensive tackles. We have

215
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: Mahomes he's super elusive, he's not easy to sack. He's

216
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 5: going to get the ball out of his hands in

217
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 5: a hurry. And Donovan Smith aultimate didn't really work out,

218
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 5: and like you mentioned everything with Joan Taylor.

219
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: And then they got the Ohio State kid last year and.

220
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: Then I think now after two or three years where

221
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 5: he was hit more and the offense has started to

222
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: regress to a point where it was just not very good,

223
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 5: and they traded Joe Toney, yes, and they and they

224
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 5: let him go. That I think the selection of Josh

225
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 5: Simmons in the first round last year, who was like

226
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 5: probably a top half of the first round talent and

227
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 5: went late in round one because of an injury at

228
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 5: Ohio State, who was good when he was on the field,

229
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 5: double some injuries like had off like kind of a

230
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 5: mysterious off field thing where he didn't.

231
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: Get Yeah games, it was never matters public, but yeah,

232
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: it was called personal.

233
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: I think that the Chiefs were like, hey, we we

234
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 5: actually do need to prioritize the blocking unit in front

235
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 5: of Patrick Mahomes as he gets into his thirties as

236
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 5: an NFL quarterback, He's not necessarily just going to be

237
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 5: able to elevate a bad offensive line that might not have,

238
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 5: you know, inside, an offense that doesn't have amazing receivers.

239
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, because even the Kingsley Sue Mattaia pick, they were

240
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: hoping it could be like a right tackle guarded guard

241
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: and a guard only probably at this level. After watching

242
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: them try and at tackle, they already gave up on

243
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: that and they did it pretty quickly. But they're trying

244
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: to get cap compliant, and that was big step one.

245
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to do this again next year because

246
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: I looked at after this restructure, what mahomes cap figure

247
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: is next year. It's like sixty seven million, or no,

248
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: it's higher than that. It's like I think it's like

249
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: seventy So they're gonna have to do it again. They've

250
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: done it like three of the last four years.

251
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 5: To say, it's kind of what you have to do

252
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: when you have this elite level quarterback that's making an

253
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 5: obscene amount or not, and.

254
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: The Bills presumably yeah, doing that, and very soon.

255
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 5: I was gonna say the Bills are gonna do it

256
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 5: with Josh Allen. It's just how the accounting works, how

257
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 5: the cap works, how the quarterback market has exploded, and

258
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 5: justifiably so for a lot for that position and a

259
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 5: lot of those quarterbacks. It's just the way that you

260
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 5: have to do business if you want to stay a

261
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 5: contender and have some other room to sign the offense

262
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: alignment and other weapons and fill out your defense too.

263
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 2: Sam Fan Francisco forty nine Ers have two international games

264
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: on their schedule for twenty twenty six. Already named as

265
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: the opponent for the game in Australia against the Rams,

266
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: San Francisco will also be playing in the Mexico City

267
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: game next season that will be a home game for them.

268
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers also have a pair of East Coast

269
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: trips next season to the Giants and the Falcons. In

270
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: my mind, they're the early clubhouse leader for most air mines.

271
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: Mean Australia alone is gonna put them up at the top, right,

272
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: I mean them in the Rams are the only two

273
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: teams going there, So that's gonna put you right at

274
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: the top of the list to begin with. Not that

275
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: Mexico City's a far trip for them, they probably rather

276
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: go there. We were talking about this before we got

277
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: on the air. They'd probably rather go there than somewhere

278
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: on the East Coast. It's less of a trip to me.

279
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 5: All of these international games, Like I understand it from

280
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 5: an NFL's business standpoint, but you guys will ultimately probably

281
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 5: talk about the schedule release coming up, and those schedule

282
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: makers how much more difficult have six to eight to

283
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 5: ten international games, Like they have to affect that in

284
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 5: to say, Okay, the forty nine ers are in Australia,

285
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 5: they're gonna go to Mexico, so we have to make

286
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 5: sure that they're not going to the East Coast after Australia.

287
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: Like, there's so many more layers.

288
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: I think they're getting a buye after that.

289
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 5: Yes, they're gonna get I mean, they're gonna get a

290
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: bye after that. But but I mean we're looking at

291
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 5: that game in isolation. There's a bunch of Germany games,

292
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: there's games in Spain that you have to also factor

293
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 5: those in, like, all right, the team needs to buy here,

294
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 5: but we got it, like it has to be even

295
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 5: more of a challenge for those schedule makers, and we'll

296
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 5: certainly talk about that over the next couple of months.

297
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, with those games factored in.

298
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, we've talked about it a little

299
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: bit on the show. You know, what are the bills

300
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: chances of getting an international game? We know they can't

301
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: play in France because the Saints are playing there. They're

302
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: not playing the Saints, they're not playing the Niners, so

303
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: they're not going to Mexico City. And then in London,

304
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: I believe two of the three games are Jaguars and

305
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: the Bills aren't playing the Jaguars.

306
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: So those are out.

307
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: So Germany, you've got one London game. Okay, you got

308
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 2: the Spain game is there, Bill is Dallas and the

309
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: Bills aren't playing the Cowboys, so that's out. So you're

310
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: really down to three games Germany, Berlin, Madrid and one

311
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: of the londoner So you're down to three of the

312
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: nine international games that still remain possibilities. I remember last

313
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: year people were convinced the Bills were playing the Steelers

314
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: in Dublin.

315
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: Last year, remember that.

316
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: All over Twitter.

317
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and then it never happened, which I thought

318
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: would have been cool.

319
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 3: I would have been happy to go to Dublin. That

320
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: would have been a neat trip. So we'll see what happens.

321
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see if because sometimes what they will do

322
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: is usually during the weekend of the draft they'll start

323
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: releasing the breadcrumbs of the international games. Oh, the game,

324
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: the game is set for Berlin, and it's so and

325
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: so versus so and so.

326
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: So.

327
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: We might find out by then, in advance of the

328
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: full schedule release. They usually release the international games as

329
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: like teasers, gotcha for the full schedule. So we'll see

330
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: if you know, Buffalo is in the mix there with

331
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: those three other games that don't even have a single

332
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: team named yet most of the others do. At this

333
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: point in time, Packers' special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia has

334
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: decided to step down from his role with the club.

335
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: They lost a couple of games because the special teams

336
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: play last season. Bassachia had long been a respected special

337
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: teams coach in the league. Last few seasons with the

338
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: Packers have been a little tough on the special team's side.

339
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: They finished last in the NFL and punt return average.

340
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: Last year, they had a game where they had a

341
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: blocked field goal returned for points and it ended up

342
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: being a thirteen to ten loss, if I remember right,

343
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: and the onside kick that they didn't get that other snapbars.

344
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, so.

345
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: He's sixty five. He's had a fantastic career, very good reputation.

346
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: Yes, likely, I think over the arc of his career,

347
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: he's easily considered.

348
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: Oh and he was coach with the Raiders.

349
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: With the Raiders, that's where his his reputation. I remember

350
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 5: coming up that it was like, oh, he's one of

351
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 5: the better special teams coordinators.

352
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: Then yeah, so he's stepping down. So they'll need to

353
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: find a new coordinator for special teams. We'll see if

354
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: they promote from within. It's late, I mean it's late

355
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: in the game now. The only team that's the only

356
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: two teams still filling out staffs are Arizona and the Raiders,

357
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: who named their head coaches last So I mean there's

358
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: you might have to pull from the college ranks or

359
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: something like that. I mean, you can always find somebody,

360
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: I suppose. And former Bills draft choice and wide receiver

361
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: Robert Woods announced his retirement from the NFL, he signed

362
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: a one day contract with the Rams to call it

363
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: a career after twelve seasons. Woods was a former second

364
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: round pick of the Bills back in twenty thirteen. Was

365
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: a good supporting cast receiver, I would say that's probably

366
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: the best way to describe him, and one of the

367
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: best blocking receivers the team has had in recent years,

368
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: as he was on the team that led the league

369
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: in rushing in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen with Lashawn

370
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: McCoy as the running back. So yeah, really, just a

371
00:16:54,360 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: good dude, classy professional, win losers, you know, gave you

372
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: good answers in the locker room. So just from a

373
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: media perspective, he was always great with the media, you know,

374
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 2: not some guy that would get a little oranery or

375
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 2: cantankerous if the wrong question was asked.

376
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: Just always a model of professionalism.

377
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 5: So the fact that I'm in draft mode, I will

378
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 5: use a draft term. Robert Woods always kind of felt

379
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: like high floor to me, Like you kind of knew

380
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: what you were getting.

381
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: He had unbelievable production at USC, yes, like.

382
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 5: But like hot like in the NFL. Yeah, Like he

383
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 5: was high floor. You knew what you were getting. It

384
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 5: was probably not thirteen hundred yards, but it probably wasn't.

385
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 4: Four hundred yards either.

386
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that he like one story with him that

387
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 5: I remember watching former Bills GM Doug Whaley that they

388
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: used to do these like after the draft like presentations

389
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 5: to a select group of season ticket holders.

390
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

391
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 4: I wasn't there, but I remember seeing it, and that he.

392
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 5: Said when they picked him, they felt like he was

393
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 5: going to be a pro for ten to fifteen years,

394
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 5: like maybe never an an All Pro, maybe never even

395
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 5: a Pro bowler, but just a good pro for what

396
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: ultimately amounted to thirteen years.

397
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: And he was right.

398
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, second round pick, and I would say, you know,

399
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: his ideal role was as the.

400
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: Number two receiver. Yep, Like that's what he was. And

401
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 3: he was good at with the Rams too.

402
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, solid player.

403
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: Actually spent one more year with the Rams than with

404
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: the Bills. Five years with the Rams, four with the Bills,

405
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: and then the last three kind of bouncing around a

406
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: little bit, finished up in Houston. So congrats to him

407
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 2: on what I would say was a successful career because

408
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: he did get his ring, he did the ramps right,

409
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: and you know he's an LA native, so you understand

410
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: why he signs a one day contract to officially retire

411
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 2: as an LA RAM. So that's kind of the news

412
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: and notes around the league.

413
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: We did see this on Twitter.

414
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: PFF Betting is putting out odds on who Tyreek Hill

415
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: is going to play for. Next highest odds Chiefs forty

416
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 2: eight percent, and then right behind them the Bills at

417
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: forty seven percent, followed by the Chargers, Raiders, Patriots at

418
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: twenty nine, twenty eight and twenty eight percent. I think

419
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 2: this is really putting the cart before the horse here

420
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: for a number of reasons. One, dislocated knee is not

421
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: an easy injury to come back from, especially when you're

422
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: on the wrong side of thirty. That and the other

423
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 2: thing is the biggest part of Tyreek's game. And everybody's

424
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: gonna say speed, but actually the biggest part of his

425
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: game is the speed with which he can get in

426
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: and out of breaks.

427
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: Quickness.

428
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: That's what really I believe.

429
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: I believe that's his strongest asset. And that's what does

430
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 2: that look like now after a major, major injury, you know,

431
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: to his knee. I'm not saying he can't do it,

432
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: but I am kicking the tires on that one. Hundred percent,

433
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: not to mention the fact that I think some teams

434
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: morality wise are going to have a problem with his

435
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: history as well, which, as we know off the field

436
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: is not too pretty. So I think I don't think

437
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: there are going to be as many suitors as some.

438
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 5: Might think, especially, I mean, you laid it up perfectly

439
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 5: and that the one thing I do think could be

440
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 5: a glimmer of possibility if you are clinging to Tyreek

441
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 5: Hill to the Bills would be that we've heard Brandon

442
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 5: Bean say like that he remembers good performances against the Bills. Now,

443
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 5: the Bills in general did a pretty good job against

444
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 5: Tyreek Kill in general, but I think he under probably

445
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 5: understands Brandon Bean the game planning nightmare that it would

446
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 5: try to stop him and what he did in thirteen

447
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 5: seconds and a few games for the Dolphins, but everything

448
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 5: that you laid out over thirty injuries and actually I

449
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 5: think it's a great point that him aging in his career,

450
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: it wasn't just the speed. There are guys in the

451
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 5: draft every year that run in the four twos, that

452
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 5: run in the four threes. It's that plus his agility

453
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: and suddenness that has really separated Tyreek Kill to really

454
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 5: become like the best speed element wide receiver in his era.

455
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 5: I don't know if or after and coming off that

456
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 5: dislocated kneecap, if that's something that you're like, oh, I

457
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: think he can do this again.

458
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and don't think that personnel executives haven't forgot how

459
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: he literally quit on the team the previous year, like

460
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: they got to the playoffs, or they were trying to

461
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: trying to get into the playoffs. I can't remember the

462
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: specific game, but either their playoff lives are on the line,

463
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: or they were in the playoffs and they were not

464
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 2: going to win the game and he just tapped out

465
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. There was even NFL Film's footage

466
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 2: of it because Jalen Wattle was miked up for the

467
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: game and Wattle goes up to me and goes, are

468
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: you done? And he wouldn't even respond to him. He

469
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: just tapped out of the game in.

470
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 3: The fourth quarter.

471
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 5: He's like all of that, and then you factor in

472
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 5: the litany of off the field concerns. When you're in

473
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 5: your prime and you're getting seventeen hundred yards a season,

474
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: teams will.

475
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 3: Put up with that.

476
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you're thirty two coming off an injury now

477
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 5: and you're maybe gonna still cost affair amount of money.

478
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 5: I think that's when teams are like, you know what,

479
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 5: we're not going to be in on this.

480
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 4: So I agree with you. I think there'll be suitors,

481
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 4: but not many.

482
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: I think people are going to be really drilling down

483
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: on doing their due diligence on this, because, as we know,

484
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel kind of sided with the players and a

485
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 2: lot of things, and it ultimately cost him his job

486
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: because he had mutiny down there. The players kind of

487
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: ruled the roost routinely coming late to meetings. They'd get fined,

488
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 2: they'd still come late anyway. The defensive guys basically pushed

489
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 2: Vic Fangio out the door after one year because they

490
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: said the system was too complicated.

491
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: And he coached them too hard.

492
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 2: No, I mean, what was the root of the problem

493
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: there and how much did the veterans in the room

494
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 2: contribute to that. I think if a personnel exec is

495
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: doing their due diligence, they're drilling down on that to

496
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: see what Hill's role was in all of that, because

497
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: we saw examples on the field where it was a problem,

498
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 2: whether him tapping out in the fourth quarter or him

499
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: saying yeah, I'm not going back in the game.

500
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 5: And let's not forget too that after they had won

501
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: multiple Super Bowls entering the prime of Patrick Mahomes's career.

502
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: Yes, they got a haul. The Chiefs traded him.

503
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 5: The Chiefs were like, we have maybe the most dynamic

504
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 5: wide receiver quarterback duo in history that it's on the

505
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 5: cusp of both being in their mid twenties, and oh, yeah,

506
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 5: we're gonna trade him in.

507
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: He wanted thirty million a year at a time when

508
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 2: that was blasphemy even at the receiver position, and he's like,

509
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 2: got to remember the Chiefs are like, yeah, if you

510
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 2: want thirty million a year, you're gonna have to find

511
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: it somewhere else. And they did it, and they got

512
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: a haul for him, and it largely was responsible for

513
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 2: how they were able to build up that defense defense

514
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: to a championship caliber because I think they got Try

515
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: McDuffie in the very next draft and then they go

516
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl and win it the very next

517
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: year without Tyreek.

518
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: So it worked out for the Chiefs in spades.

519
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: And Chris Jones is already lobbying, He's twaiting at Tyreek

520
00:23:58,760 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: Hill to come back.

521
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 3: It's like the time is now. I think he tweeted

522
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 3: him or something like that.

523
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: I was like, oh boy, because we know the Chiefs

524
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: don't care what kind of character or player is. They

525
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 2: just care if they can play. But sure sometimes they

526
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: pay for that. She Rice had a six game suspension,

527
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: maybe in trouble with the law again, So we'll see

528
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: how that all shakes out. He's certainly a polarizing figure

529
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: that'll be on the free agent market as we get

530
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: closer and closer to the new league year. On March eleventh,

531
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: topic of discussion for you today is pretty simple. We

532
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: listed four different positions at one Bill's Live on Twitter

533
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: for you and asked you to prioritize the offseason positional

534
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 2: needs in order and tell us why you.

535
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: Picked them in order.

536
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: That way, the four positions we listed for you were edge, linebacker, safety,

537
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: and wide receiver. Are there others, sure, but we didn't

538
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: want to have a lit out there. So just take

539
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: three of those four, prioritize them one to three, and

540
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: tell us why you're prioritizing them the way you are.

541
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: So this encompasses acquiring players via trade, via free agency

542
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: via draft.

543
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: How do you prioritize those four positions.

544
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: I'm almost more interested to see what's left out of

545
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: these four because you're only picking three out of four here.

546
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 2: But we note some of these positions are hot button

547
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 2: positions that our listeners have talked an awful lot about

548
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: over the last month or so.

549
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 3: So we want to hear from you.

550
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 2: Prioritize the order of these of the top three positional

551
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: needs for the Bills as you see them this offseason,

552
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: and tell us why at one Bills Live is where

553
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: you do that on Twitter x whatever you call the

554
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: app these days, respond there. Believe me, I'm hoping we

555
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: get phone lines up and running sooner rather than later

556
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: with the new system.

557
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: We're waiting on that.

558
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: Hopefully it returns in short order because we do miss

559
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: hearing from you guys on the phone line. So as

560
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: soon as we have that up, we will let you

561
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: know where you can call when it's up, functioning and stable.

562
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, we rely on your comments on

563
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet, So do that now and we'll get

564
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: to some of your content comments when we return. It's

565
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: Chris Brown and Christrapasso on a Wednesday edition of One

566
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: Bill's Live presented by Colida Health. We're One Bill's Live.

567
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Christrapasso with you on a Wednesday, and we'll

568
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: get to your tweets as we've asked you to prioritize

569
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: the Bill's off season positional needs.

570
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: We've got four choices for you there.

571
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: Give us your top three in order and tell us

572
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: why at one Bills Live on the tweet sheet. We'll

573
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: get to your comments in just a second. But there

574
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: is some more NFL news to pass a lot, as

575
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: the estate of the late Paul Allen has begun the

576
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 2: sale process for the Seattle Seahawks. We heard rumblings during

577
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl week that this was a foot and here

578
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: it is. They officially came out with an announcement that

579
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: said the Estate of Paul Allen today announced it has

580
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: commenced a formal sale process for the Seattle Seahawks NFL franchise.

581
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: Consistent with Allen's directive to eventually sell his sports holdings

582
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: and direct all estate proceeds to philanthropy, The estate has

583
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: selected investment bank Allen and Company and law firm Latham

584
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 2: and Watkins to handle the sale process. Now, we saw

585
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: six billion, seven billion for the Commanders and we're about

586
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 2: two years removed from that. I think the Broncos were

587
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: eight billion. We could be looking at nine, maybe ten.

588
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Broncos, it says, I just wanted to make sure.

589
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeahah, that's right. Broncos were right around five.

590
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: Oh they were five.

591
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: Commanders were six.

592
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 5: So this but again, as time progresses, the TV deals

593
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 5: the pre flirt with eight, I think Prime Netflix, so

594
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 5: many new contracts for the broadcast rights. The NFL is

595
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 5: not in any type of regression. It's making more money

596
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 5: every year. And we were talking about it off air.

597
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 5: You can think, oh, you know, market size, does that matter?

598
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 5: But then you realize the money is all shared, so

599
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 5: this could be any you know, the smallest franchise in

600
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 5: terms of market size or the biggest. Being an NFL

601
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: owner is the best investment you can make. And I

602
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 5: mean at this point you might be looking at an

603
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 5: eight million dollars sale price or eight billion dollars sale

604
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 5: price for this team.

605
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: I think eight's realistic. Yeah, not to mention the fact

606
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: the team just won the Super Bowl. Yeah that like

607
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: talk about selling high.

608
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 5: And it's a it's a relatively newer stadium. It's not

609
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 5: like you have a a oh yeah, a stadium renovation

610
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 5: or a new stadium looming lars that could cost you

611
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 5: two or three billion dollars. So yeah, I think between

612
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 5: seven nine billion would not be crazy. I don't know

613
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 5: who has that money. I mean, I know there's there's

614
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 5: the top one percent of the top one percent out

615
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 5: there in this country. But and we always spin it

616
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 5: back to the Bills Terry and Kim Pagoula buying the

617
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 5: Bills in twenty fourteen for one point four billion. Outside

618
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 5: of like you know, Jerry Jones buying the Cowboys in

619
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: the eighties whatever, it has to be one of the

620
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 5: best deals of like the millennium because you get in

621
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 5: then at one point four and now you are seeing

622
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 5: teams going for five to six and then eventually, like

623
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 5: we're saying for the Seahawks, could be seven or eight

624
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 5: billion dollars. That is a ridiculous return on investment. If

625
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 5: you're this bill's ownership.

626
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think there's any question about that. So

627
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 3: we'll see where it goes.

628
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: And you know what, potential ownership groups quickly, you know,

629
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: huddle up and get their financial ducks in a row,

630
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: because the vetting process is no joke when it comes

631
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: to sale of a team, So we'll keep our ear

632
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: to the ground on that and see you know who

633
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: served as potential new owners of the Seattle Seahawks. But

634
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: let's get to the topic of conversation, which is prioritize

635
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: in order the top three positional needs as you see

636
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: them for the Bills this offseason, and tell us why

637
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: you put them in that order. At one Bills Live

638
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: is where you can comment on this with us, and

639
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: we will go to the tweetsheet now, which is brought

640
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

641
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: company of the Buffalo Bills.

642
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: Where Jeffrey leads us off and says.

643
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: Number one edge new scheme, and we don't have any

644
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: Number two linebacker new scheme, need more of them. Three

645
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: wide receiver, need one real good one, a difference maker

646
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: in free agency or the draft. He listed safety as

647
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: a four spot. He did admit he feels they need

648
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: a starter next to Bishop, either a veteran free agent,

649
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: draft one for depth, et cetera, et cetera. But I

650
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: think Edges is smart and I feel just based on

651
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: the responses we've gotten from fans so far this offseason,

652
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: is knowing the scheme is changing and not really feeling

653
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: uber comfortable with anyone on the current roster as a

654
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: stand up outside linebacker.

655
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: I mean Javon Solomon, okay.

656
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: But he was a former fifth rounder. You're not leaning

657
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 4: out here.

658
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 3: And he's not. And he's not a speed rusher either.

659
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: He's power and you need speed off the edge out there.

660
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know that there's an ideal fit on

661
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: the roster, and I think it's it's brought a lot

662
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: of consternation and anxiety amongst the Bills fan base because

663
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: I think they know as well as anybody else, top

664
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: flight players at edge don't grow on trees. I mean,

665
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: I was taking a look at this this morning. I

666
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: did a little research and I found I wrote it

667
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 2: on a sheet of paper, So now I don't have it,

668
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: but I think there were Yeah, they were fourteen players

669
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL last year with double digit sack seasons

670
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: and they played for or sorry, there were sixteen players

671
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: with double digit sax seasons last year in the league

672
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: and they played for fourteen teams.

673
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: Wow, which means there were.

674
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: Eighteen teams in the league that did not have a

675
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: double digit sack guy.

676
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: So number one.

677
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: There aren't a whole lot of them, and number two,

678
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: there's gonna be eighteen teams.

679
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: Looking hard for one.

680
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's why they're making twenty five to thirty

681
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 5: five million dollars a year. They're one of the highest

682
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: priced positions in the NFL.

683
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: Now, I will say this going to this, you know,

684
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: underfront three to four scheme under Jim Leonard, I think

685
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: you can make the argument that it's easier to find

686
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: pass rushers that are six three six, four, two fifty

687
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 2: five than it is you know, finding the two sixty

688
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: two seventy guy in a.

689
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 4: Four three, five six six.

690
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like there are more of those guys that you

691
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: can hopefully either a find on the open market that

692
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: aren't killing the bank or even in the draft pool

693
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: where it's supposed to be a decent year for edge.

694
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,719
Speaker 3: It's rusher, is it not.

695
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: It's a really good edge class.

696
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

697
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 5: And I think in general too, what the previous coaching

698
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 5: regime asked of the defensive ends, they want them to

699
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 5: be three down players. You need to set the edge,

700
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 5: stop the run, get off blocks, oh, and rush the passer.

701
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 5: When you're that stand up rush linebacker, you are pinning

702
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 5: your ears back and trying to typically win around the corner.

703
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 5: You're throwing an inside move every once in a while.

704
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 5: But it's a little bit easier to find those players

705
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 5: like you mentioned in free agency and the draft because

706
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 5: they're really pass rush specialists. So it is easier. You're

707
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 5: not looking for those freaks in terms of length and

708
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 5: size and weight, and you're not asking them to carry

709
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 5: out as many duties on the field in the NFL.

710
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, I think you could certainly make

711
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: the argument that the Bills probably have to acquire a

712
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: player that has proven production at the NFL level to

713
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 2: line up there. So, whether that's a free agent ad,

714
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: whether that's an ad via trade, it's got to be

715
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 2: somebody in the league already that's played in this system,

716
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: has familiarity with it and has a proven level of

717
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: production in it. And you know, we've seen some of

718
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 2: the names floating around already, people projecting this guy would

719
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: be a great fit for the Bills, you know, like

720
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: Boye Mafe who kind of fell out of favor with

721
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: the Seahawks last year, didn't get on the field as much, but.

722
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: Was good before that, but was good before that. Yeah,

723
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: he would be a candidate that would make sense.

724
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: How much does he cost? Could you know, make it

725
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: a different conversation, but we can dream and there are

726
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: other options too, and then the draft, Like, I think

727
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: they've got to add at least two by the time

728
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 2: the offseason is over. One a veteran with proven production

729
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 2: that you know has played with a degree of success

730
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: in that scheme, and then you know, you get a

731
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 2: draft pick and it's a pe action. Granted if they

732
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: played in an underfront, even better.

733
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 4: But.

734
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 3: I think you got to add at least two there.

735
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, what I think is so fascinating about this is

736
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 5: that it's very similar between edge and wide receiver. Everything

737
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 5: that you just said the numbers game, I think you

738
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 5: need to add two.

739
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 4: You can say it for wide receiver as well.

740
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 5: And that's kind of where I'm at that it's really

741
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 5: flip a coin and what is the biggest priority. It's, yeah,

742
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 5: it's edge because of just the sheer numbers and the

743
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 5: difference in the scheme. And then it's also a wide

744
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 5: receiver because I just think it's very clear that outside

745
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 5: of Shakir you bring back Josh Palmer, you need probably two,

746
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 5: I think a veteran and also a relatively high draft

747
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 5: pick just to infuse that wide receiver room with a

748
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 5: lot more talent than it's had like the last two

749
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 5: or three seasons.

750
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, because there is going to be change over there.

751
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: I think that's safe to say. There are a lot

752
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: of people that are assuming, a lot of fans are

753
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: assuming that the Bills will get out from under the

754
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel contract. We'll see if that happens. After two

755
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: of first two of the three years did not go

756
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 2: according to plan at all in terms of production, availability

757
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: and the like. And then is Tyrrel Shaver is even

758
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: gonna be ready for the start of next season? He

759
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 2: tore his ACL in January, Like, I don't know, I

760
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna be ready for week one. That's

761
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: a that's an aggressive timetable to have done that. What

762
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: January fifteenth, like training camp is late July.

763
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 3: That's six months in a week.

764
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 4: That's too soon.

765
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 2: So he's far from a sure thing just from a

766
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 2: health perspective. And then you know, you look at the

767
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: rest of the group. Is Brandon Cook's returning on a

768
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: one year deal as in a you know, a veteran

769
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: piece role player, So yes, there are a lot of

770
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: question marks there. So I think two is is probably minimum, right.

771
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 5: We're talking about this off the air, Yes, totally, like

772
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 5: I think two, and if the Bills bring in three

773
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 5: starter level wide receivers, I think that would make a

774
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 5: lot of sense, like a it's a big fish and

775
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 5: then a Brandon Cook style or type wide receiver and

776
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 5: then a first or second rounder in the draft would

777
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 5: make a lot of sense. But you mentioned Greg Russo

778
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 5: just flipping to the defensive side and the new scheme edge.

779
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 5: Do you see him as an a stand up rush

780
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 5: linebacker or do you think he's going to be more

781
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 5: hand in the dirt defensive end in the three to

782
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 5: four playing that five technique, Because I think the answer

783
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 5: to that question. If you think, hey, he can be

784
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 5: a stand up rush linebacker, then you do have a

785
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 5: starter level player at that position, so it's not as

786
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 5: big of a need. But if you see him at

787
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 5: six seven, two sixty more down in the dirt, then

788
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 5: it's like they really have a bigger need to add

789
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 5: those rush linebackers because they do not have one on

790
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 5: the roster.

791
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what they're hashing out right now.

792
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 4: I think they're probably having those internal conversations.

793
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 2: Trying to make that determination now because Rousseau last couple

794
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 2: of years is typically played at two sixty five and

795
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: if you look at it, and he added five pounds

796
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: this year to play at two sixty five this season,

797
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: and I think he was strong. He was always a

798
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: decent edge setter. I thought he was even better this year.

799
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: I know the sack production wasn't what it was the

800
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: year before in terms of tackles for loss, quarterback hits,

801
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: but he led the team in all three categories sacks,

802
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: quarterback hits, tackles for loss for the second straight year.

803
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: I wonder if they feel two sixty five is the

804
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: max his body can carry and still be an effective player.

805
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: If they think two sixty five is the max, I

806
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 2: think the chance is greater he goes out to OLB.

807
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 2: If they believe he could put on another five, maybe ten,

808
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: get to two seventy five and play there, then you

809
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 2: can two gets a little bit. Well, then I think

810
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 2: you know he's maybe a five technique or a four.

811
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 4: I that it creates that need for the stand up

812
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: rush linebacker.

813
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you could also middle it if you want.

814
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he's not playing five technique on first down

815
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: or second and short, but maybe he is on second

816
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: and eight or second and ten, and you mix and

817
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 2: match him between the two roles.

818
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a great idea for a guy.

819
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,959
Speaker 2: Playing in a three to four for the first time,

820
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: with you know, all the responsibilities and you know, vacillating

821
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: between two positions his first year and a system might

822
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 2: not be the best approach, even for a guy who's

823
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: a young veteran like him, who you know is going

824
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 2: to study no' assignmentsh But you you need the incumbents

825
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: on this roster that are new to this system to

826
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 2: get it and be quick on the uptake. I don't

827
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: know if you want to be filling even a young

828
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: veteran's head with double position roles. But yeah, I know

829
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 2: I probably didn't answer your question, but I would say

830
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 2: they were there, open to both possibilities. Now it's just

831
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: where are you going to come down and say, Rousseau,

832
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: this is what we want.

833
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 3: You to do for us.

834
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 4: And that's the difference.

835
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 5: Not an easy answer, No, totally not, And you're right,

836
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 5: they're probably they could be having this exact conversation or

837
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 5: debate right now as Jim Leonard has had time to

838
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 5: look over the film and see what type of body

839
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 5: Greg Russo has and his strength and his weaknesses. That's

840
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 5: the difference between the edge rusher priority and the wide

841
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 5: receiver priority. We may see some subtle differences on the

842
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 5: offensive side, but it's just that is cut and dry.

843
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 5: We just need more wide receiver talent. The edge need

844
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 5: is based on scheme and specific style that you do

845
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 5: not have on the body type, body type, type of

846
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 5: role that they had in college six two to six four, six',

847
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 5: five two thirty five to two fifty. Five that's the

848
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 5: type that outside Of Javon, solomon they do not have

849
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 5: on the. Roster AND i do agree with you that

850
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 5: they will be probably looking at, hey how good are

851
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 5: you sinking in? Coverage are you comfortable in? Space because

852
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to do that a lot more frequently

853
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 5: than any of the defensive ends did the last eight

854
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 5: or nine years Under sean.

855
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: McDermott now got to take a break, here more of

856
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 2: your tweets when we come, back prioritize the order of

857
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 2: the top three positional needs for The bills as you

858
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 2: see them this, offseason and tell us why you've got them,

859
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 2: one two and. Three you do that at One Bills

860
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: live ON. X more of those comments next here On

861
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 2: One Bill's. Live all right back here on A wednesday

862
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: edition At One Bill's, Live Chris, Brown chris chrapasso with

863
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: you and really asking you to prioritize your top three

864
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: positional needs for The bills and. Why and we gave

865
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: you four positions to choose. From those were, edge wide, receiver,

866
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: linebacker and. Safety those are the positions we hear most

867
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: often from, you so it made sense for us to

868
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: list them. Here i'm sure there are other positions that

869
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: people have their mind, on especially knowing there are two

870
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: starting offensive a lignemen that are set to become free

871
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: agents In connor McGovern And David. Edwards so we're working

872
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,479
Speaker 2: with this list of four. Positions prioritize just your top

873
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: three and tell us. Why at One Bills live ON

874
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: x and we go To matt's, comments who, said it's

875
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 2: a hypothetical question depending on who they bring, back but

876
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 2: my order is wide receiver, one edge rusher, two linebacker. Three,

877
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 2: now we did discuss wide Receiver chris in the last

878
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: segment to some. DEGREE i think what's going to be

879
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: interesting here is from.

880
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 3: A dollars and cents.

881
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 2: PERSPECTIVE i think there's a possibility we could see more

882
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: total dollars spent on, offense BUT i think in terms

883
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: of bodies, defense because we know wide receiver is a

884
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: high priced. Position the guard market has gone cuckoo for cocoa.

885
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: Puffs like twenty million dollars is what people are projecting

886
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: For David. Edwards The bills are not iff in that

887
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 2: they're gonna probably try to find someone in the middle

888
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: tier market at ten million a year and fill that

889
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 2: hole in free. Agency if they decide to even go that,

890
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: route they may promote from. Within for all we, know

891
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 2: they might be over the moon About Alec anderson didn't

892
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 2: think he's ready to step into a starting role at left.

893
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 2: Guard we don't know so knowing receivers high, priced and

894
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: they might have to get at least one middle to

895
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 2: high priced. Guy i'm not saying a thirty million a

896
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 2: year guy or even a twenty five million a year

897
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: guy might be somewhere between fifteen and Twenty.

898
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 4: Romeo dobbs something like, that, yeah, Yeah.

899
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 2: Or you, Know Mike evans is less money than he

900
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 2: used to. Be maybe you can entice him to come.

901
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 2: Here try to win A Super bowl With Josh. ALLEN

902
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 2: i think the dollars and it might surprise people because

903
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 2: it might only be two or three new additions on,

904
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: offense but the total dollar amount might be on north

905
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: of twenty five million for two or three guys to,

906
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 2: defense they'll add like eight or nine and it might

907
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:56,919
Speaker 2: be the same.

908
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 5: Cost but, see to, me that seems to make perfect

909
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 5: sense because the last couple of, years it really hasn't

910
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 5: been if you're looking at it from a general, perspective

911
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 5: it hasn't been the offense that's been the problem in

912
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 5: not even just in the, playoffs but against the better.

913
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 5: Quarterbacks outside of last season's game against The, chiefs The

914
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 5: bill's defense struggle when they were Facing stafford And golf

915
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 5: And Joe. Burrow until those two interceptions back to back

916
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 5: in This bengals game just a few months, ago The

917
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 5: bill's defense had. Struggled, so, yes they need new, bodies

918
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 5: and they have a new defensive coordinator on the offensive. Side,

919
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 5: YES i am totally like they need.

920
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 4: Two or three wide.

921
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 5: Receivers what you outlined attacking it via a twelve to

922
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 5: eighteen million dollar, VETERAN i think is almost a. Necessity

923
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 5: but even if they do that and they second round

924
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 5: pick is a wide, receiver or even a first round

925
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 5: pick is a wide. Receiver they can still into the new,

926
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 5: stadium trot out the reigning rushing, champion probably three or

927
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 5: four of return herning offensive, lineman Obviously Josh, allen a

928
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 5: Healthy Dalton. Kincaid we'll see About Dawson. Knox they should

929
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 5: feel very good about the offense in, general the bodies they.

930
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 5: Have and, oh by the, way your head coach was

931
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 5: the former offensive coordinator that you average over thirty points

932
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 5: a game with the last two. Years so it makes

933
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 5: sense that they just need more bodies on the defensive

934
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 5: side because that's the side THAT i think has been

935
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 5: more of a liability and seeing the most schematic change

936
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 5: as compared to What jilt find.

937
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 2: Fits, yes there might need guys when the evaluation is

938
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: over that are on this roster and under contract that

939
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 2: The bills just. DETERMINE i don't know if he fits this,

940
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: system so let's move him out for an asset that

941
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 2: will work in this, system whether it's draft, capital whether

942
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: it's a player in the. League And steve AND i

943
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 2: have been having this. Discussion ten teams have new. Coaches

944
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: half of them are employing new schemes on like they

945
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: might have guys they don't want. Either SO i think

946
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: there's a strong chance that there is a more robust

947
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 2: trade market this. Offseason so that could be another avenue

948
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 2: that you could pursue player fits for a scheme that you.

949
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: Want we've we already talked about, it Like tennessee's going

950
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 2: from a three to four to a four to. Three

951
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: do they still want to Andre Sweat bills are going

952
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 2: from a four to three to a three? Four, like

953
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: who could they offer that they don't deem a fit?

954
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 2: Here you, know we'll have to, See BUT i think

955
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 2: the prospect is there for a more robust trade, market

956
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: and it might enable The bills to more quickly get

957
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: the right people in place for this new defensive system

958
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 2: Under Jim, leonard because a lot of these kinds of

959
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: changes when you've been one way for so, long a

960
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 2: lot of times it takes you two off seasons to

961
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: get all the right, pieces let alone the depth behind

962
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 2: them that fit the system you're. Running if you have

963
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: a more robust trade market and you make some savvy

964
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: moves and get people off your roster that you know

965
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: aren't gonna, work you could get more puzzle pieces in

966
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 2: the puzzle quicker than you might in a normal. Offseason

967
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 2: maybe the trade market isn't as.

968
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 5: Rich, Sure and THEN i, think going a step, further

969
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 5: with the ten new coaches around the, league there will

970
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 5: be a lot of other teams that are willing to

971
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 5: cut players that we're not even thinking of right, now

972
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 5: that are surprise cuts where, hey.

973
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 2: We've talked a lot About Michael, Pittman, like are they

974
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: gonna Keep pittman and not Resign.

975
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 3: Piers they're gonna re Sign piers and you.

976
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 2: Know Make pittman a cap casualties because the thought of

977
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 2: both of them being on the same roster doesn't seem

978
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: financially fiscally.

979
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 4: Responsible so there will be.

980
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 5: YES i think we will see more, trades but we

981
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 5: could also see the next couple of weeks all the

982
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 5: way into the, summer where these new coaches with new

983
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 5: schemes that have no connection to the previous players on

984
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 5: the roster are, Like, hey we're willing to cut this

985
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 5: outside rush line because we're playing a four to three

986
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 5: now and we want more size and more three downability

987
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 5: at that edge. Spot oh, suddenly here's a cheap free

988
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 5: agent that The bills can. Sign doesn't cost them a draft,

989
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 5: pick And Jim leonard feels great about getting the absolute

990
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 5: most out of him on a vet minimum type. DEAL

991
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 5: i Think Brandon bean everything that he does In march

992
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 5: with in free, Agency april and the draft absolutely. Matter

993
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 5: but also like The Leonard floyd type signings In may And,

994
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 5: june that's when he has to show that he is

995
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 5: one of the better gms in THE nfl because those

996
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 5: signings can be those critical depth pieces That Jim leonard

997
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 5: maximizes on this.

998
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 2: Team At One Bills live is where you can tell

1003
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: the list the way that you, do because this has

1004
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 2: been a bone of contention in terms of what the

1005
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 2: number one priority. Is then list us two and. Three after,

1006

Speaker 7: Health all, right here we are our number two on A,

1011
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 7: Wednesday Chris, Brown Chris tavasso with you and have tasked

1012
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 7: you with prioritizing the top three positional offseason.

1013
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 3: Needs we gave you four positions to choose. From rank

1014
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 3: them one to three as you see.

1015
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: It leave the fourth off the list and tell us

1016
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 2: why you put them in that. Order we've gotten a

1017
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: lot of responses, here so we want to get to

1018
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: some of. Those And frank is next on the, list

1019
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 2: and he, says my thoughts are edge, linebacker then. Safety

1020
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 2: wide receivers can be, expensive and we need more help on.

1021
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 3: Defense as you.

1022
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 2: Guys have said, before that's where we are weakest and

1023
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: have the most free. Agents, yeah and we haven't really

1024
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 2: talked about the linebacker discussion because on the, inside you

1025
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 2: know there's a conversation to be had. THERE i, think you,

1026
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: know we were talking earlier about where Does rousseau. Fit

1027
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 2: is he a defensive end or is he an outside?

1028
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 2: Linebacker AND i think that's what the coaches are mulling

1029
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 2: over right. NOW i think in much the same vein

1030
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: you have somebody Like Dorian williams who's only six to

1031
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 2: two that's a little short to play outside, linebacker even

1032
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 2: though he was a really good blitzer in last year's

1033
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: system for, them you, know usually coming through THE a, gap.

1034
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 3: But maybe he's more suited for.

1035
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 2: Week inside, linebacker you, know Behind Terrell, bernard who was

1036
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 2: very successful in that system Under davin No Dad. Baylor

1037
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 2: he played week inside linebacker in a three to four

1038
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: At baylor and was uber successful. There For, BERNARD i

1039
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 2: think it'll be a very smooth transition back to that

1040
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 2: system for. Him For dorian it might be a little, different.

1041
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 3: But you need a.

1042
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 2: MIC i Know Shaq thompson has played in a three

1043
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 2: to four in his, career and you could re sign

1044
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 2: him as like the veteran transitional mike linebacker and then

1045
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 2: maybe you draft one to groom and maybe ultimately assume

1046
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: that starting role in. Time but, yeah you got to

1047
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 2: get at least Two mike. Linebackers, like for lack of

1048
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: a better answer.

1049
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 5: To, ME i don't view linebacker as a huge need,

1050
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 5: because like you Mentioned, BERNARD i think people viewed him

1051
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 5: as the in terms of his size and his, athleticism

1052
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 5: the quintessential McDermott linebacker because he was a sidelined to sideline.

1053
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 5: Guy but you mentioning that he was a third round

1054
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 5: pick because of what he did At baylor in a

1055
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 5: three to four in which the defensive linemen were keeping

1056
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,240
Speaker 5: him clean to allow him to accentuate his, athleticism ranging

1057
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 5: to outside, runs blitzing everything in coverage was all. There

1058
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 5: so he can do. That, obviously the injuries have to get,

1059
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 5: righted for. SURE i Think Dorian williams is the perfect

1060
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 5: hammer inside, linebacker middle.

1061
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 4: Linebacker you think it can be A, Mike, YES i

1062
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 4: think he.

1063
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 5: Can in this scheme that is going to have the

1064
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 5: two rush linebackers on the, outside and this is not

1065
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 5: on every, snap but the base the two inside linebackers

1066
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 5: are a little bit more confined where you don't have

1067
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 5: to ask as much in terms of pure range to the,

1068
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 5: outside and THAT i think part of Why bernard gets

1069
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 5: hurt a lot is that at like six in two

1070
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 5: d and twenty two hundred and twenty five, pounds where

1071
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 5: he's been lighter to accentuate, speed he's having to deal

1072
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 5: with lead blockers head. On Dorian williams is not afraid

1073
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 5: of a lead, blocker, Right and SO i think you

1074
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 5: have those two AND i don't think that it's crazy

1075
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 5: to think About Joe andresen transitioning into a bigger role

1076
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 5: because he's a little, smaller but the athleticism is absolutely.

1077
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,959
Speaker 5: There now he's not saying he can that he's entering

1078
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 5: this year learning the the or having known the, defense

1079
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 5: because it's new for. Everyone BUT i think with him

1080
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 5: on a very cheap rookie deal, contract you need to

1081
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 5: see what he can do in this new. Scheme so

1082
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 5: you have three GUYS i think that can be successful

1083
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 5: players in this. Scheme that's not to say THAT i

1084
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 5: think they should just not bring in any, linebackers whether

1085
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 5: you do Sign Shack thompson as that bridge stabilizer or

1086
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 5: you draft one relatively. EARLY i think they do need

1087
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 5: to probably add at least, one BUT i don't think

1088
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 5: it's as big of a need as edge and wide.

1089
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 2: Receiver, yeah it is a linebacker draft, too like stronger

1090
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 2: than it's been in recent. Years you might see you're

1091
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 2: probably gonna see two in the first, round and there's

1092
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 2: probably gonna be eight to ten.

1093
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 3: More And i'm not talking outside. Guys i'm talking.

1094
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: Sideckers i'll probably get eight to ten more over the

1095
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 2: over day, two you, know going into round. Four SO

1096
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: i don't know that it's AN a plus you, know

1097
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 2: off the ball linebacker, draft but it's it's probably A

1098
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 2: B b plus linebacker.

1099
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 3: DRAFT i, Mean.

1100
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 5: I'm not super deep on the off ball, linebackers but

1101
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 5: What i've watched so far it is a pretty good.

1102
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 4: Class that there are names From marquee blue chip. SCHOOLS.

1103
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 5: Cj allen From, Georgia Anthony, Hill, texas the Two Ohio

1104
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 5: state guys.

1105
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 3: Are going to be long gone sunny.

1106
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 5: Styles, Yeah Jake alday From, cincinnati there's a there's a.

1107
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 3: Few thick player he. Is he's like two.

1108
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 4: Forty, yeah he's like six, three six.

1109
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 5: Four SO i THINK i agree with you on that

1110
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 5: that it's a it's a position that we have not

1111
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 5: seen in terms of free. Agency the tracks at off

1112
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 5: ball linebacker if not soared through the, roof BUT i

1113
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 5: think we've seen it here In. Buffalo when you do

1114
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 5: have quality three down linebackers who can tackle, well get off,

1115
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 5: blocks blitz, occasionally and most vitally make plays in coverage,

1116
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 5: consistently that really helps your defense quite a bit because

1117
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 5: they are the ultimate versatile piece that's on the field

1118
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 5: eighty to ninety percent and sometimes you, know in the

1119
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 5: case Of Matt mullanum during His prime And, Tremade dmuins

1120
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 5: And bernard when he's not, injured throughout the field for

1121
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 5: every snap in a given. Game so they're very important,

1122
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 5: pieces even though the money that they've gotten on the

1123
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 5: free agent market is not.

1124
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 2: Astronomical, yeah And milano's a free. AGENT i think he's

1125
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: ideally suited for a four to three. Defense not to

1126
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 2: say he couldn't play in a three to, four but you,

1127
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 2: know and he was able to stay healthy for most

1128
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 2: of last. Season that's. Encouraging BUT i just don't know

1129
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 2: if there's an ideal fit for him. Here not to

1130
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 2: mention age sure and the, INJURIES i think those play a.

1131
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 2: Factor not saying it can, happen BUT i don't know

1132
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 2: THAT i would bet on him.

1133
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 5: Returning i'm sure you And steve have talked about, this

1134
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 5: BUT i just want to mention too that it we

1135
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 5: do need to make note of the scheme. Change it's

1136
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 5: going from a base four to three to a base three.

1137
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 4: Four there's different.

1138
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,439
Speaker 5: Responsibilities you want bigger defensive. Linemen you already talked about

1139
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 5: the difference in like the outside linebackers and the inside

1140
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 5: linebackers when it was just off ball.

1141
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 4: Linebackers For sean.

1142
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 5: McDermott but having said all of, THAT i think it's

1143
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 5: important for me and for you to not get too

1144
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 5: bogged down in super specific.

1145
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 4: Roles for these.

1146
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 5: These players and measles and, measurables it, matters AND i

1147
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 5: think The bills will be looking at, that maybe more

1148
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 5: than they used to because it's, new it's something, Different

1149
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 5: but they're gonna play nickel fifty to seventy percent of the.

1150
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 4: Time you still need to be able to.

1151
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 5: Cover you're not, saying, hey we want all of our

1152
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 5: linebackers to Be Brandon spikes and be sixty four two

1153
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 5: sixty and have no coverage, ability but they're good against the.

1154
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 5: Run so you still need the athleticism That sean McDermott

1155
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 5: prioritize at, linebacker the instincts and, coverage the ball, skills

1156
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 5: just getting good football players regardless of scheme at that.

1157
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 5: POSITION i think it doesn't matter if you're in a

1158
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 5: four to three of three to, four you're gonna play

1159
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 5: a lot of. Nickel you need two quality linebackers on the.

1160
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 5: Field in TODAY'S, Nfl.

1161
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 2: Nicholas on the tweets sheet puts him in this order, linebacker, wide, receiver.

1162
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 2: Safety he has edge fourth which is an interesting order.

1163
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 2: There safety is a position that saw so much injury last.

1164
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: YEAR i think fans on the whole don't have a

1165
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 2: lot of faith in whoever is still on the, roster

1166
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 2: tailor rap coming off a major knee, injury.

1167
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 3: Or the free. Agents Tamar hamlin's going to be a free.

1168
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 2: Agent so is the guy they picked up From washington

1169
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 2: whose name Is Escaping. Savage Darnell, savage thank, you also

1170
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 2: a free, agent.

1171
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 4: You.

1172
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 2: Know and then you Have, bishop WHICH i think people

1173
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 2: felt good about with the progress he made this. Season And,

1174
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 2: okay so he's a guy in one of the starting.

1175
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 2: Roles who's the other?

1176
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 5: Guy do you think that that other, guy just to

1177
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 5: kind of cut you off there for a, second do

1178
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 5: you think the other guy is currently on the, roster

1179
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 5: the other starting safety right?

1180
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 3: NOW i think it could.

1181
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 2: Be if that's the plan For, Hancock oh, sure. SURE

1182
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 2: i don't know that it, is because they might, say,

1183
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 2: well we like him as a, Nickel oh, sure you,

1184
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: know because he vacillated between those two positions last year

1185
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 2: as a, rookie AND i didn't really line up much at,

1186
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 2: nickel lined up more at safety when he got on the.

1187
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 2: Field but they saw him as a dual role, player

1188
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 2: kind of like a Cam lewis who's also a free.

1189
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 3: Agent by the, Way SO i THINK i think Cam.

1190
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 2: LEWIS i love Cam, lewis BUT i think he's a

1191
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 2: little smallish to be a full time, guy not to

1192
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 2: mention the fact that he's uber valuable on special, teams

1193
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 2: which is.

1194
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 3: How he stayed in the league as long as he.

1195
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 2: HAS i, mean the career that Cam lewis has carved

1196
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 2: out for himself in this league at five nine and

1197
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 2: eighty pounds is darn, right downright and. Pressive, SURE i

1198
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 2: just don't know that he's ever going to be a front,

1199
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 2: line full time. Guy he has a he would have

1200
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 2: a role on my. TEAM i just don't know that

1201
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 2: it would be in the starting. Lineup he would unequivocally

1202
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 2: be a gunner on special teams for, me and then

1203
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: he'd be like A swiss army knife, guy which.

1204
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 3: Is what he's.

1205
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 2: Been, Yeah hancock could be, that Because i'll tell you

1206
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 2: in the brief time That i've seen him on the,

1207
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 2: field he brings the. HAMMER i still remember the play

1208
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 2: he made On Kyle manangai in the preseason game against The.

1209
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 2: Bears he comes from twenty yards deep in center, field

1210
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: comes up to the side headline and Drills Kyle manongai

1211
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 2: out of, bounds who's a packed running back like those

1212
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 2: two twenty legit and he's running up the sideline and

1213
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 2: he gets launched out of bounds By Jordan.

1214
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 3: Hank i's, like oh well.

1215
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 2: Hello and there was only one other time we saw,

1216
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 2: that when he got a couple of spare snaps in

1217
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 2: The jacksonville game late After poyer got. Hurt he came

1218
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 2: into the game and he had a similar hit on

1219
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 2: a run play By etn and knocked him clean out of.

1220
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 2: Bounds we need to see more of that to know

1221
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 2: if that's a consistent part of his game and he's

1222

1243
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 5: Field fifty seven percent of the time was a slot, corner.

1244
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: Right which IS i think he's getting in the consideration he, Is.

1245
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 5: And it was part of WHY i really Liked Jordan

1246
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 5: hancock last year in the. Draft he tested really. Well

1247
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 5: all Those Ohio state guys always test super well at

1248
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 5: The Ohio State Pro day the. Combine WHEN i was

1249
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 5: watching The Jordan hancock, film he was at free safety

1250
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 5: in a cover three look or cover one look where

1251
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 5: there's just one safety in the middle of the. Field

1252
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 5: then he was in a split safety look then he

1253
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 5: was in the, slot then he was a.

1254
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 4: Linebacker SO i think.

1255
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 5: Even Though sean mcturerould always preached, versatility, versatility, VERSATILITY i

1256
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 5: think they all like. Versatility and we know That Jim

1257
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 5: leonard absolutely will vary the front seven looks three?

1258
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 4: Four is it a four to three? Under who's?

1259
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 5: Blitzing and that was part of why The broncos defense

1260
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 5: has been so good the last couple of. Years and

1261
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 5: that's part of The Vance joseph philosophy on that side

1262
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 5: of the ball, Too and that's What Jim leonard did At.

1263
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,959
Speaker 5: Wisconsin it was a lot of different. Looks blitzer's coming

1264
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 5: from every different. Direction Jordan hancock certainly like there is

1265
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 5: a a world in which he is the air apparent

1266
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 5: To Terren johnson At.

1267
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 2: Nickel, yeah but we got to, see like, sure when

1268
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 2: the record, stops what position is he? At and do

1269
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 2: they only and do they make that his only? Position

1270
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 2: like we saw the last coaching regime was all about

1271
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 2: position flex whether it was offensive, line even in the

1272
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 2: secondary to some degree defensive, line like they'd, slide get

1273
01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 2: guys in and, out you know inside. Outside what does

1274
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 2: this defensive, staff, dude do they have sharply defined singular.

1275
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 2: ROLES i, MEAN i think THE d, line there's some

1276
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 2: massaging you can do up, there particularly with a guy Like,

1277
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 2: rousseau who he talked, about who could probably play the

1278
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 2: five but also play outside linebacker in certain down and distant.

1279
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Situations but how much does it vary for the guys

1280
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 2: in the back, Seven like how malleable do they want

1281
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 2: to make those guys or do they want them in

1282
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 2: singularly defined. Roles this is your, Role we need you

1283
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 2: to execute. It go do it because this.

1284
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 3: Defense has to be on a train.

1285
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 2: That's moving, already and we need guys that know their

1286
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 2: assignments to the, letter no matter the, circumstance whether we

1287
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 2: can't communicate because it's too, loud whatever it.

1288
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 3: Is they got to be.

1289
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 2: Buttoned up because the expectations have not, changed even though

1290
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 2: the defensive system has completely.

1291
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 3: Changed so they got to be buttoned up right.

1292
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 5: Away AND i wonder, too just because you mentioned Demor,

1293
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,479
Speaker 5: hamlin you mentioned you, know we don't know If Taylor

1294
01:03:58,520 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 5: rep's going to be.

1295
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 4: Back caml us all free.

1296
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 5: Agents similar to the edge rusher, spot they probably just

1297
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 5: need some bodies regardless at the safety. POSITION i wonder

1298
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 5: how much of What Jordan hancock's role, is how big

1299
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 5: of a role it, is and if he's playing safety

1300
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 5: Or nickel just depends on letting the offseason come to

1301
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 5: them That i'm sure The bills have OR i know

1302
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 5: that The bills have a free agent board just like

1303
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 5: they have a draft, board and maybe they offer to

1304
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 5: a safety that they really like and he accepts and they, go,

1305
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 5: wow we feel like he's a. Starter we're plugging him

1306
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 5: in at, safety or in the draft they love in

1307
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 5: the second round SAFETY, A, b AND.

1308
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 4: C they're all.

1309
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 5: Gone they, say, well we. Can't we're not going to

1310
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 5: reach on SAFETY. D so, Yeah Jordan hancock's going to

1311
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 5: be the. SAFETY i wonder if they let the off

1312
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 5: season come to them at that and.

1313
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 2: If you want and If Brandon, bain who largely has

1314
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 2: a bargain shop might be a bit too extreme a,

1315
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 2: term but has looked for value on the free agent

1316
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 2: market more than getting into bidding wars and. Overpaying, absolutely

1317
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 2: you can do that at safety and free agency because

1318
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 2: every year over the last three, seasons the free agent

1319
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:10,439
Speaker 2: market has been flush with veterans safety. Talent two years,

1320
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 2: ago there were twenty free agent safeties that had starting.

1321
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: Experience it depressed the market because if you, Remember Jordan

1322
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 2: poyer thought he was going to get twelve million a,

1323
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 2: year he ends up going to The dolphins for almost the.

1324
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 3: Minimum because there were twenty two free agents at the safety.

1325
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 2: POSITION i just put together a quick, list and this

1326
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 2: isn't even everybody free agent SAFETIES A, Looie, Gilman Reed,

1327
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 2: Blankenship Nick, Cross Cameron, Curl Brian, Cook Kobe, Bryant Jalen,

1328
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 2: Thompson Andre, Cisco Donovan, Wilson Geno. STONE i, mean all,

1329
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 2: right and at the top of that, list you're paying

1330
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 2: ten million a year at the. Top so if you

1331
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 2: go middle market, THERE i, mean you could Get Geno

1332
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 2: stone for eight million a year at age twenty.

1333
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:57,959
Speaker 5: Seven and by the, way it is A i've watched

1334
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 5: about eight or nine. Safeties the safety claps is. Loaded

1335
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 5: Caleb downs is, Awesome dylan Thenem in From oregon is.

1336
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 5: Amazing toledo, Kid, yeah The emmanuel McNeil warren From. Toledo

1337
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 5: Lanz zerline mocked him to The bills in one of

1338
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 5: his first back drafts FROM nfl Dot. Com Jalen husky

1339
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 5: From maryland is a, Rocket so like The, bills should

1340
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 5: probably actually feel pretty good. About All, right we know

1341
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 5: we need to bring in, bodies but the suppressed safety

1342
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 5: market and free, agency we were not gonna have to

1343
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 5: spend fourteen fifteen sixteen million to get the starter Opposite Cole.

1344
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 5: Bishop and if that doesn't, work and if we're not

1345
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 5: interested in getting in bidding, wars we can use a

1346
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 5: second or a third round pick and feel actually pretty

1347
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 5: good about the youth and the upside in that safety.

1348
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 3: Room.

1349
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah SO i just think if they want to go

1350
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 2: value in the free agent, market you can do it

1351
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 2: at safety because once again point it's flush with veteran

1352
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 2: talent with proven production in this. League and if you

1353
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 2: went young last, year so handcock if you, want if

1354
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 2: you want to make safety his position at the very

1355
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 2: least is depth for you. There AND i think what

1356
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 2: becomes of tailor? Wrap can he get back from the

1357
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 2: bad knee? Injury does this defensive staff want him in the?

1358
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 3: Fold you? Know what becomes of?

1359
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 2: THAT i think could largely determine the free agent direction

1360
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 2: at the safety position more than anything. Else next comment

1361
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 2: comes From, david who goes edge, one two, linebacker three nose,

1362
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 2: tackle four.

1363
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 3: Wide, receiver five.

1364
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 2: Safety let's, go let's talk nose tackle a little bit,

1365
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 2: here because you Know Dion, walker you would say fits

1366
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 2: the size profile from a weight, perspective going three thirty

1367
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 2: three thirty, five but he's also six foot, seven doesn't

1368
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 2: have a lot of, leverage and you got to get

1369
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 2: low and you, know just stand there and grind with

1370
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:48,959
Speaker 2: two offensive linemen every.

1371
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 3: Snap and if And Dion, walker who.

1372
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 2: Had a solid rookie, season you could argue it's him

1373
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 2: Or hawes was the best rookie performer from the class

1374
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 2: last year for The. Bill if there was one knock On,

1375
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 2: walker it was that he still played a little too

1376
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 2: high at times and wasn't consistent with his. Leverage that's

1377
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 2: not somebody you want to put in the nose tackle.

1378
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 2: Spot you need a fire hydrant or a tree stump.

1379
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 2: There so, again LIKE i think they'll try him there

1380
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 2: see how he. Does but you unequivocally have to get

1381
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 2: an answer at that position in free agency that you

1382
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 2: know can play in that system and has had. Success

1383
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 2: now that's not to say you can't find, one but

1384
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 2: the list is pretty short.

1385
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 4: Just because the position is kind of like the fullback.

1386
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 3: Spot, well and they don't grow on.

1387
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 4: Trees, yeah they're very.

1388
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 2: Hard LIKE i, mean go find a six to, two

1389
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty five pound guy that you know

1390
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 2: can hold up two guys.

1391
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 5: For Two, yeah that's not Especially it's a position that

1392
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 5: has gone by the wayside because of. THAT i, think

1393
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 5: more than anything, else a lot of teams would love

1394
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 5: to have that style of player to eat two, blockers

1395
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 5: control two, gaps but also give you some type of

1396
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 5: athleticism where they're not just, immovable where teams will, say,

1397
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 5: look this guy's never given you, know his team any pass.

1398
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 5: Rush we can just ignore him on the. Inside the

1399
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 5: to And Andre swats and The Dexter lawrence, types they

1400
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,799
Speaker 5: are maybe the most rare dude on the field in TODAY'S,

1401
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 5: nfl and because of, that teams that have them keep

1402
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 5: them under.

1403
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 3: Contract but there are a couple of.

1404
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,799
Speaker 2: Options we'll get to those after we take this break

1405
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 2: here as we talk a little nose. Tackle next here

1406
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 2: on One Bills live presented By Colida. Health all, right

1407
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 2: back here on One Bills, Live Chris, Brown Christoph passer

1408
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 2: with you here On, wednesday and having you prioritize your

1409
01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 2: top three offseason positional needs for THE bi in order

1410
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 2: and let us know why we gave you four. Choices

1411
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 2: some people have gone off the rails and put in

1412
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,679
Speaker 2: their own. Positions that's, Fine we're open to. That david

1413
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 2: had nose tackle at number, three AND i think it's

1414
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 2: in astute call to attention to that position because a

1415
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 2: lot of people think just Because Leon walker's three hundred

1416
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 2: and thirty five pounds that he just goes right in the.

1417
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 2: Nose but Even chris AND i were discussing it during the,

1418
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 2: Break walker's athleticism gives you so much more than to

1419
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 2: just put him on the field and make them a

1420
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 2: two gap plugger to hold up two offensive. Lineman you're

1421
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 2: almost doing his athletic skill set a. Disservice not to

1422
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 2: say you couldn't use him there in a, pinch BUT

1423
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 2: i think there's more that he can give you at

1424
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 2: an end position in a three to, four and SO

1425
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 2: i would kind of shy away from putting him, there

1426
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 2: which now brings you to the stark fact that you

1427
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,600
Speaker 2: don't have one right now on the roster, currently.

1428
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 5: And you mentioned that that's if there was one weakness

1429
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 5: from what was a stellar rookie sea For Dan walker

1430
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 5: was that he's not that type that wants to sit

1431
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 5: an anchor against double. Teams that he's not someone that

1432
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 5: is going to free up those around. Him he wants

1433
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 5: to get up the. Field he feels like he's At.

1434
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 5: Oliver he's he's sixty one and ninety. Pounds so it's

1435
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 5: not only is it not utilizing him the best way

1436
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 5: just plugging him in at nose, tackle but you can

1437
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 5: get upfield pass rush from, him and it's actually a

1438
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 5: weakness to ask him to eat those double.

1439
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 4: Teams.

1440
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 2: Right, so finding nose tackles on the free agent, market

1441
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 2: as we said before the, break easier said than done

1442
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 2: because the ones that are good are usually locked up

1443
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 2: for the long. Term BUT Dj reader is a veteran

1444
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,679
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a free agent From.

1445
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 3: Detroit played In detroit last.

1446
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 2: Year he's thirty one years, old so he's probably only

1447
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 2: going to cost you six to seven million a, year

1448
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 2: which isn't a tremendous amount of, money you, know for

1449
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 2: a starting caliber nose. Tackle and the only reason he

1450
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 2: caught my eye is my broadcast partner on The Bills Radio,

1451
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 2: Network Eric, wood has always told Me Dj reader was

1452
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 2: a pain in the arts to play. Against he did

1453
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 2: not like playing against. Him he was difficult to, move

1454
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 2: like he, said he's like trying to move a tree.

1455
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 5: Stump so he's got that lower center OF gravi he's

1456
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 5: only six to, three not six to.

1457
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 3: Seven so he was effective in that.

1458
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 2: Role AND i think when you don't have answers, there

1459
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,759
Speaker 2: that would be a good veteran guy that's had success

1460
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 2: in that system to sign and plug in and help

1461
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 2: you fill the, role because you're not going to just

1462
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 2: have one guy sit there and play that thing the whole.

1463
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 2: Game and there are big bodies in the. DRAFT i

1464
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 2: know The Ohio state kid gets a lot of.

1465
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 3: Chatter.

1466
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 2: McDonald he was unbelievable Against. Indiana he playoff.

1467
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,599
Speaker 4: Game, yes instantly boosts whatever run defense that he gets drafted.

1468
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 4: To he's that type of.

1469
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 5: Stack shad can eat the two blockers and has the

1470
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 5: like you're mentioning lower stockier center of gravity that he's

1471
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 5: not going to get.

1472
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 4: Pushed off the ball off the line of scrimmage very.

1473
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 2: Much, Yeah and then you know you can find a

1474
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 2: depth player like A Roy lopez who also played In.

1475
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 3: Detroit he was readers Back cup last, year and.

1476
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 5: You know you can get he can draft them later,

1477
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 5: too like the deft guys fifth and sixth, round there

1478
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 5: will be plenty of six' one to six three, three

1479
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 5: twenty to three forty nose. Tackles so the depth guy is,

1480
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 5: fine and almost in every draft there's five to ten

1481
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 5: of them available on the third day of the, draft

1482
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 5: and it wouldn't surprise me unless The bills go crazy

1483
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 5: and free agency at that, spot which we're saying it's

1484
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 5: pretty hard to find if they ultimately pick that type

1485
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 5: of nose. Tackle but he's not the one that you

1486
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 5: want Starting week one next To Dean.

1487
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 3: Walker, yeah.

1488
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 2: Exactly mike f on the tweet sheet prioritizes the positional

1489
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 2: needs like this wide, receiver wide, receiver wide, receiver wide.

1490
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 2: Receiver now this is part of the wide receiver discussion we.

1491
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 3: Have not gotten to. Yet.

1492
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 2: Chris we Had Chase daniel on a couple of weeks

1493
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 2: ago on the, show who obviously is intimately familiar with

1494
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 2: The Sean payton, system shall we, say for lack of

1495
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 2: a better, Term Joe brady, says he comes from the

1496
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 2: Show Peyton. Tree Pete carmichael is here now as, well

1497
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 2: and just talking To Chase, daniel he, said get ready for.

1498
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 3: The bills to throw the ball a. Lot, well if you're.

1499
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 2: Gonna throw the ball a lot and not be nearly

1500
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 2: as balanced as you've been the last two. Years when

1501
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 2: you've been almost fifty to fifty run pass and you

1502
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:23,440
Speaker 2: know it's gonna drift closer to sixty, forty.

1503
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 3: You better get. Receivers.

1504
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 5: Absolutely that to, ME i, MEAN i get how the

1505
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 5: everything with the playoff, losses the thirty three points allowed

1506
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 5: in the playoff losses in The Josh allen, era that

1507
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 5: sticks out like a sore, thumb and obviously thirty three

1508
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 5: points to Bo nicks and Then broncos offense in the

1509
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,879
Speaker 5: DIVISION a round loss is what is in fresh in everyone's.

1510
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 5: Memory to, me when you Have Josh, allen AND i

1511
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 5: Think Joe brady hit the nail on the head during

1512
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 5: his press, conference then every decision that they make is

1513
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,759
Speaker 5: With Josh allen in my not taking anything away From James.

1514
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 5: Cook the run, game the tight. ENDS i think that

1515
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 5: is the biggest most glaring need on this roster is

1516
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:06,600
Speaker 5: two or three not low level vet minimum signings at

1517
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 5: free agent or at wide receiver in free, agency a

1518
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 5: big ticket ish signing or a, trade and a very

1519
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 5: early investment in the draft at wide receiver And, FRANKLY

1520
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 5: i would say third or fourth, run third or fourth.

1521
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 5: Round roll the dice again at wide receiver to along

1522
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,759
Speaker 5: With Khalil, shakir Give Josh allen in the new stadium

1523
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 5: a really whole new look at the wide receiver. Spot

1524
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 5: because of what you just. Mentioned they want to presumably

1525
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 5: throw the football sixty to, six maybe even sixty five

1526
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 5: percent of the. Time The bills receiver group just was

1527
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 5: not good enough last.

1528
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 4: Season it's got to be.

1529
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 2: Better and that's not to say that all those pass

1530
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 2: attempts are going to. Receivers all we saw we saw

1531
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 2: the value that the tight ends provided when the wide

1532
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:56,480
Speaker 2: receiver production was absent Huge they actually had more. Touchdowns

1533
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 2: the three tight ends had more receiving touchdowns than all

1534
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 2: the receivers on the ross to combine twelve to. Eleven

1535
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 2: and we've seen the backs factor into the passing game

1536
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 2: pretty successfully the last couple of. Years that trio is

1537
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,919
Speaker 2: going to be the same because they're all under contract

1538
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty, six.

1539
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 3: So let's not.

1540
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 2: Forget like in the Old Sean payton system With Drew,

1541
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 2: Brees Alvin kamara caught eighty balls or more three straight.

1542
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 3: SEASONS i think the carries.

1543
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 2: That James cook might lose because you're throwing more might

1544
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 2: turn into thirty extra, receptions and maybe he has a

1545
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 2: sixty catch season out of the. BACKFIELD i think that

1546
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 2: the potential for that could. Happen fifty is probably more.

1547
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 2: Likely But cook's never had more than thirty five receptions

1548
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 2: in any season as A Buffalo, bill and when he came,

1549
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 2: out he was looked at as a third down pass catching.

1550
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 2: Back so do they tap into that a little bit

1551
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 2: more and take the grind of running it over three

1552
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,600
Speaker 2: hundred times off of? HIM i think that's the distinctive.

1553
01:16:55,640 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 5: POSSIBILITY i think that's a good way to Attack James cook.

1554
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 4: At this or you'll still get. Him the touches still get.

1555
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 5: Him the touches don't grind him into the ground as

1556
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 5: he's entering his late twenties that we know are usually

1557
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 5: where the running backs when they're getting the two hundred

1558
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 5: and twenty five to three hundred carries this, season they

1559
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 5: usually almost fall off a. Cliff you want to keep

1560
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 5: him as fresh as. Possible. Now he wasn't worn into

1561
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 5: the ground At georgia like you, mentioned and early in

1562
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 5: his career In buffalo he didn't get three hundred carries

1563
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,679
Speaker 5: as a. Rookie but to maximize that three year deal

1564
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 5: that you Signed James cook to last offseason during training,

1565
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 5: camp it would make sense to, say let's spread it

1566
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 5: out a little bit to the tight, ends To Ty

1567
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 5: johnson or if he's part of this, team and Use

1568
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,759
Speaker 5: James cook in the screen game out of the backfield

1569
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 5: because he does have really good.

1570
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 2: Hands girls Rule dad, says it's always edge pressure will

1571
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 2: keep help the rest of the. Defense be interesting how

1572
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 2: our pieces fit in the new D Hoyt Jackson.

1573
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 3: Rousseau you haven't even mentioned.

1574
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 2: It hoy like our, linebackers but a guy Like thompson

1575
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 2: coming back would be nice running mate For Cole bishop

1576
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 2: can tear and play safety wide. Receiver Last josh does

1577
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 2: more with, less that's.

1578
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 3: True but while your.

1579
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 2: Defense is getting up to, speed you better make sure

1580
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 2: that you had at the very least maintain what you

1581
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 2: have on, offense if not improve. It you don't have

1582
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 2: to do as many things on, offense but you can't

1583
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 2: ignore it. Either But Michael, hoyt we have not even

1584
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 2: discussed that guy is tailor made for outside linebacker at

1585
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 2: sixty four two. Sixty, obviously the question is what does

1586
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 2: he look like coming back from the achilles? Injury exactly

1587
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 2: when you're playing a, burst high intensity, position.

1588
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 3: You hope he recovers. Well he did that in Mid.

1589
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 2: October we Watched Shaq thompson come back from an achilles

1590
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 2: in eleven months and participate fully in training. Camp he

1591
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 2: did it In, september Late september and was full go

1592
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 2: in training. CAMP i don't know a month later If

1593
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 2: hoyt's going to be full go in training. Camp maybe he's,

1594
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 2: limited and then you would, hope you, know by week,

1595
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 2: one two or, three maybe he gets the clean bill

1596
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:06,600
Speaker 2: of health and can be full of.

1597
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 3: Go but, yeah he. Is he's a.

1598
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 4: Fit he's absolutely a.

1599
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 5: Fit AND i Think Jim leonard, eventually whether it's in

1600
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 5: like you're, saying whether it's In october starting Then, November,

1601
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,639
Speaker 5: december the, Playoffs Jim leonard will like to have that

1602
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 5: movable chess piece In Michael hoyt in this. Defense BUT

1603
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,639
Speaker 5: i still think when we're talking about edge, again going

1604
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 5: back to that.

1605
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:29,640
Speaker 4: He's because of the.

1606
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,679
Speaker 5: INJURY i don't think The bills are, like all, right

1607
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 5: we're good at. Edge we Have Michael hoyt here like

1608
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 5: He's taylor. Made they still need other pieces on that

1609
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 5: side of the or at that. Position even With Michael,

1610
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 5: hoyt who we have not talked about.

1611
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 2: Yet, yeah and, man you, hope like, heck he comes

1612
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 2: back and is the same. Guy we only saw him

1613
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 2: for a game and a, half but even in the old, system.

1614
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:51,839
Speaker 3: Huge difference, making big difference.

1615
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 2: Maker and basically him And oliver got to play together

1616
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 2: for a half for the entire.

1617
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,960
Speaker 3: Season it was. CRAZY J.

1618
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 2: N gould, says wide receiver, one edge, two linebacker, three safety.

1619
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:10,600
Speaker 5: Four, SEE i would flip linebacker safety just because what

1620
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 5: we already like the in terms of the bodies THAT

1621
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 5: i think you Have Cole.

1622
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:16,839
Speaker 4: Bishop you don't know what you're doing with Cam, lewis

1623
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 4: you don't.

1624
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 3: Know, yeah he's a free, agent has a free agent.

1625
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 5: Rap you can save three million if he's not on the.

1626
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 5: Roster SO i think safety has to be slightly head

1627
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 5: of linebacker because you even though you're a little bummed

1628
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 5: And i'm sure he's miserable about all the, injuries you

1629
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 5: Have bernard under contract with that. Extension you still Have

1630
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 5: Dorian williams in the entering the final year of his rookie.

1631
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 4: DEAL i think he's the perfect.

1632
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 5: Again the, downhill take on the lead, blocker keep him

1633
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 5: between the tackles type, linebacker and you still Have joe.

1634
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 5: Andreeson SO i THINK i like that. List that's HOW

1635
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 5: i would do, it BUT i would flip safety as

1636
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 5: the third priority over.

1637
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:53,759
Speaker 4: Linebacker what do you? THINK i? Mean do you agree slightly? Different?

1638
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 2: YEAH i Mean I'M i GUESS i want. To i'm

1639
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 2: a little mixed on The Dorian williams fit only because

1640
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 2: he's two thirty AND i want to see AND i.

1641
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 4: Know like he plays bigger than.

1642
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 2: Too if you're d, lot, yes, yes he's a physical.

1643
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 2: PLAYER i don't think there's any question about. THAT i

1644
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 2: think you're you're counting on having a lights out nose. Tackle,

1645
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 2: sure If Dorian williams is challenging to be your STARTING mic,

1646
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 2: Linebacker i'm not saying he can't do, it but, man

1647
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 2: he better be kept. Clean at two hundred and thirty. Pounds,

1648
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 2: yeah unless you know you can tell him play at two.

1649
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 2: Forty how much of his athleticism is he? Lost can

1650
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 2: he play more physical because of? That because you with

1651
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 2: especially With bernard next to, him you need a thick

1652
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 2: guy there to really play the.

1653
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 5: MIC i THINK i just feel better about linebacker because

1654
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty four When Mett milano went down early

1655
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 5: or wasn't on the, Field Dorian williams was like the

1656
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 5: leading teckler and played a lot where for, SAFETY i,

1657
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 5: think and you're mentioning That Jordan hancock could eventually be

1658
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 5: a key component to the. Defense he Played Nickel lott

1659
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 5: At Ohio. State he can move, around but you haven't

1660
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 5: seen him in THE nfl for a prolonged period to

1661
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 5: have the film to look at With dorian And. Bernard

1662
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 5: you have certainly not seen him in this, scheme but

1663
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 5: you have seen him play in THE nfl and is

1664
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 5: a and you know that he is a SERVICEABLE nfl.

1665
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 5: Linebacker that's WHY i have linebacker just slightly below safety

1666
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 5: in terms of the priorities.

1667
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 3: Office, yeah and.

1668
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,600
Speaker 2: A lot of that in terms of which is a

1669
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 2: higher priority is going to be predicated on what the

1670
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 2: defensive staff deems as fits on the existing.

1671
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 3: Roster, yes if they.

1672
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:40,720
Speaker 2: See as many fits As chris, does well then, yeah

1673
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 2: they probably will have it stacked that. Way if they're

1674
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 2: a little uneasy about some of the, fits well then

1675
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 2: maybe that, changes which is kind of the whole reason

1676
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,799
Speaker 2: we're asking you to prioritize these today on the, tweets

1677
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 2: sheeet to see where you're coming. From walt, says one wide,

1678
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 2: receiver two, safety three, edge four. Linebacker and you, KNOW

1679
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 2: i think you. Can you also have to factor in

1680
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 2: the level of.

1681
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 3: Importance of these.

1682
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 2: POSITIONS i, mean wide receiver and edge are always going

1683
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:10,719
Speaker 2: to be frontline positions no matter what scheme you. Run

1684
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,640
Speaker 2: just the nature of their importance in this day and

1685
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 2: age in the league kind of pushes them to.

1686
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 3: The top of a lot of teams.

1687
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 2: Lists and, look you got probably got about sixteen teams

1688
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 2: that would put edge, rusher no matter what scheme they,

1689
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 2: play among their top two. Needs AND i think it

1690
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 2: probably is one of the top two For buffalo because

1691
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 2: of the change they're making and because they haven't a

1692
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 2: double digit sack guy here Since Leonard. Floyd he is

1693
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 2: the only double digit sack guy on this roster in

1694
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 2: The bean McDermott. Era the only guy with double digit

1695
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 2: Sacks Leonard floyd with ten and a. Half Jordan phillips

1696
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen at nine and a half he was

1697
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 2: the next, closest but he's the only double digit sack

1698
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 2: guy that they have. Had that's got to, Change, like

1699
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 2: they got to find an alpha. There they really, do

1700
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i think it makes life on the back end.

1701
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:06,799
Speaker 2: Easier it helps you close out games with your, defense

1702
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 2: So josh doesn't have. To so there's just so many reasons.

1703
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 2: Why and you know you said the edge class is.

1704
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 3: Pretty good this year is pretty.

1705
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 2: Good, yeah as we, know when some team has a

1706
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 2: premier edge, rusher they're under, contract they don't let him,

1707
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 2: go you, know unless the money gets so stupid and

1708
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 2: they can't afford the.

1709
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 3: Guy so, yeah they got to they gotta nail it.

1710
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 5: Down What i'll say, too if we're if we're looking

1711
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 5: ahead to the, draft which is obviously one of the

1712
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,960
Speaker 5: avenues that The bills are gonna use to acquire a

1713
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 5: lot of. Talent the people that push back and, say,

1714
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 5: oh you don't know about the draft and it's gonna take,

1715
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 5: YEARS i will, say AND i wonder your thoughts on

1716
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 5: this edge rusher is one of those positions that you

1717
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 5: can spend a first or a second round pick and

1718
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 5: get pretty good dividends right.

1719
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 4: Away it's not wide.

1720
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 5: Receiver, okay you can see it seven to eight nine

1721
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,640
Speaker 5: hundred yard, season but it's really until year two or

1722
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 5: year three that they really take off And ji goes

1723
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 5: from a good receiver to offensive player of the year

1724
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 5: defensive ends The Jared verse, types who was a late

1725
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 5: first round pick just a few years. Ago they can

1726
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 5: come in The Will anderson types and hit the ground

1727
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 5: running and be your number one edge rusher right. Away,

1728
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 5: now it's not to say that every first round edge

1729
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,719
Speaker 5: rusher becomes that, type but that is certainly a position

1730
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 5: that you don't always see such a long or a

1731
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 5: steep learning curve for that.

1732
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 2: Position gotta take a break, here one segment to. Go

1733
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 2: on A wednesday edition Of One Bill's. Live we'll keep

01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 2: Here on A wednesday edition Of One Bill's, Live Chris

1738
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 2: Brown Chris trepasso with you and B billings, says nose

1739
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 2: tackle one edge two wide receiver three nose tackle is

1740
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 2: picking up some.

1741
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 4: Steaming nose tackle.

1742
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 2: One, yeah they got to get a big. Guy we know,

1743
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 2: that and you Know bean's gonna be looking for. One by,

1744
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 2: hooker by. Crook we know he likes to fill you,

1745
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 2: know deemed positional needs as much as he can in free,

1746
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 2: agency so he's, not you, know backed into a corner

1747
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 2: in the draft sure position. Wise So i'm very curious

1748
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 2: to see what they end up mining for in the

1749
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 2: nose tackle. Market we mentioned a couple of guys that

1750
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:37,799
Speaker 2: are expected to hit the. Market connor, says edge wide,

1751
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 2: receiver then safety need to build this around the new defensive.

1752
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 2: SCHEME i think that starts at edge wide receiver is

1753
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 2: a major need For. Buffalo we need playmakers to take

1754
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 2: the pressure Off. Josh finally, safety Get bishop a long

1755
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 2: term running mate and locked down the back. END i

1756
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 2: think people, realize and a lot of times you don't

1757
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 2: realize it until it's. Gone what a luxury this team

1758
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 2: has with you, Know poyer And hyde together for the

1759
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:07,560
Speaker 2: better part of seven. Seasons, yeah it became an. Afterthought

1760
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 2: they didn't even have to worry about. It it was

1761
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 2: just a foregone. Conclusion, oh we got those two guys

1762
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 2: in the back.

1763
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 3: End we're good. THERE i let's just take a our other.

1764
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 2: Stuff and then it was, gone and it's, like oh my,

1765
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 2: gosh we got we got to fix.

1766
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,719
Speaker 5: This and during the prime of those two, players for,

1767
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 5: collectively the bills like allowed the fewest plays of twenty

1768
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 5: plus yards in the year like they were you AND

1769
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 5: i think it really embodied the bend but don't break

1770
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 5: defense That they just had a Priority sean McDermott and

1771
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 5: company don't allow anything over the. Top and with those

1772
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 5: two players back there that were such in lockstep with each,

1773
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 5: other they had almost like a cerebral.

1774
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 4: Connection they did a great job with.

1775
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 5: That then When hyde got hurt early three or four

1776
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 5: seasons ago And poyer went, down suddenly.

1777
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 4: You Had Tomorrow hamlin and Camp lewis.

1778
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 5: Bag it was a mixed, bag and the communication and

1779
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 5: understanding responsibility so there aren't any blown coverages and so

1780
01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 5: you're in the right position matters so. Much and we

1781
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 5: saw With Cole bishop missed from training camp through toward

1782
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 5: the end of his rookie, season finally got a full

1783
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 5: off season to understand where he needed to be on the,

1784
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 5: field and then really took off in year. Two that

1785
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 5: is as much of a mental position as any on

1786
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 5: the defensive side of the.

1787
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:19,480
Speaker 2: Ball knowing That Jim leonard's system typically is more aggressive

1788
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 2: and there is a lot less ben don't break to

1789
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:28,679
Speaker 2: that scheme and it's underlying. PHILOSOPHIES i wonder if they

1790
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 2: prioritize individual coverage ability with their, safeties you, know in

1791
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 2: terms of the kind of player they're looking for. There

1792
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 2: obviously you need somebody that can cover ground and has

1793
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 2: all the prerequisite you, know measurables and. Whatnot but does

1794
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 2: individual coverability matter more when you play a scheme that

1795
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 2: inherently is more.

1796
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:52,400
Speaker 3: Aggressive than the one they used to.

1797
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 5: Play, yeah AND i think think it. Does, yeah, ABSOLUTELY

1798
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 5: i think. It the type of safety that they look

1799
01:28:57,600 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 5: for will be, different AND i don't think we will

1800
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 5: see as much changing of who's playing the free, safety

1801
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,719
Speaker 5: who's the strong. SAFETY i Think Cole bishop was great

1802
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 5: At utah getting, downhill blitzing intermediate level of the. FIELD

1803
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 5: i think the safety that they want to add is

1804
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,320
Speaker 5: more of that free safety type who can range and

1805
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 5: make plays in.

1806
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:17,679
Speaker 2: Coverage that's all the time we've got, Today, chris thanks
