1 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: These One Bill's Live presented by called Light of Health. 2 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: All right, here will we be on a Thursday, Chris Brown, 3 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: Matti lab with you as Steve is away on a 4 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: little camping sojourn with the boys. Can't think during winter. 5 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: We all think he's crazy. Um, and plenty of discuss 6 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: with you today. We'll have NFL Networks Judy Bautista on 7 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: in the second hour of the show, and we want 8 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: to address burning questions, which we'll get to in a second. 9 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: But there is some news to discuss among other things 10 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: around the league. As Steve and I were talking about 11 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: the other day, there's a ton of coordinator positions out 12 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: there now with all of the new coaching hirings and 13 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: the fact that head coaches that did get hired were 14 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: former coordinators, with three first timers out of the five 15 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: vacant jobs. Yeah, well, there's a lot of spots, a 16 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: lot of spots to fill, so the coaching carousel continues 17 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: to spend. So Manny and I will just jump right 18 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: into this and go around the NFL which is presented 19 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo 20 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: Bills and the one that made my eyes almost pop 21 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: out of my head was Rex Ryan, who is apparently 22 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: a candidate for the Denver Broncos defensive coordinator position under 23 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: newly hired head coach Sean Payton. He has not coached 24 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: since he was fired by the Bills in twenty sixteen. 25 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: I was just surprised to see his name. Yeah, when 26 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: I heard his name was going to be in that 27 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: ring for getting hired for that DC job in Denver, 28 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: I had to do a double take. I had to 29 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: rewind what I was listening to. Is like, wait, what 30 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: they're interested in Rex Ryan? Sean Payton might want to 31 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: bring Rex Ryan onto the Broncos staff to be their 32 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, somebody who has been, like you said, out 33 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: of the NFL for quite some time now. And it 34 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: just gets me thinking as to like how head coaches 35 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: come up with what they see in a defensive coordinator 36 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: or an offensive coordinator when there are and not saying 37 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: that it's wrong to want to bring Rex Ryan back 38 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: to the game of football, but I think it's interesting 39 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: how people may see something in Rex Ryan, while other 40 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: people may see something in a younger defensive assistant coach 41 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: and want to bring them up to an opportunity as 42 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Yeah, I totally get that. Ryan's been out 43 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: of the game for six years. His son actually is 44 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: an assistant coach on the Detroit Lions staff. He actually 45 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: is up for the receiver's coaching job there in a 46 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: promotional capacity. I think he was a quality control coach 47 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: there or an assistant receivers coach with the Lions under 48 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. Peyton has a history with the Ryan family. 49 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: Sean Payton previously had Rex's twin brother, Rob is his 50 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator with the Saints, so I don't know, maybe 51 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: he just likes that scheme. And if I remember right, 52 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: Denver did play a three four system last year, if 53 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: I remember right, and so presumably that would be a fit. Now. 54 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: There are also reports that Vans Joseph is another candidate 55 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: for that defensive coordinator's job, So I don't know if 56 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: it's just those two guys as candidates under Sean Payton 57 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: for his staff, but they're the two that have been 58 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: reported to this point. Vance Joseph is also a candidate 59 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: for the Eagles defensive coordinator position that was vacated by 60 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon, who was named the head coach of the Cardinals, 61 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: and the funny thing is Vance Joseph has been the 62 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in Arizona in the last five years. It's 63 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: like the Switching Places, like the Trading Places movie all 64 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: over again. So we'll see. We'll see if that happens. 65 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: Vance Joseph is also a former NFL head coach. He 66 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: coached the Broncos for two years. I think it was 67 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: like twenty seventeen twenty eighteen. So we'll see where Vance 68 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: Joseph lands. He's got a couple of irons in the 69 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: fire there. And then the Colts are trying to land 70 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator under new head coach Chane Sike, and 71 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: they've asked to interview Jacksonville passing game coordinator Jim Bob 72 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Cooter for their offensive coordinator post. He was in the 73 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: running for the Tampa Bay OC job last week, but 74 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: he didn't get that. That went to that Seattle quarter 75 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: backs coach David Canalis. Yeah, so he's got another potential 76 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: job offering there, so we'll have to see what happens. 77 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: And today is the day that Eric bi Enemy interviews 78 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: with the Washington Commanders for their OC job. His contract 79 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: is up in Kansas City and a lot of people 80 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: think he's got to get out from the shadow of it, 81 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: and he read to advance his career. So we'll see 82 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: what happens. I guess lateral moves aren't so bad if 83 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: they get you to where you want to go to. Yeah, 84 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: And I think we saw that with the reported departure 85 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: of Chad Hall to Jacksonville. That's a guy that's been 86 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 1: here for a while, and I think he looks at 87 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: what's the best way to gain upward mobility in this profession, 88 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: and sometimes a change of scenery is warranted. So wouldn't 89 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: surprise me if that was the motivation there. I don't 90 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: know if you saw this, Maddie. Peter King wrote in 91 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: his weekly column he believes the New York Jets would 92 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: be willing to trade for La R. Jackson if they 93 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: can't get Aaron Rodgers. So apparently they're desired to acquire 94 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: a premier quarterback. Is an exercise, an evidence that they're 95 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: not going to settle. So like a guy like Derek 96 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: Carrho's available now, they'll be like, man, if he's still 97 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: around later, we'll get down to him if we strike 98 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: out on these other options. And I look, i'd be 99 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: the first person to tell you to go away after 100 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: Rogers and Lamar before you went after Derek carrto in big. 101 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: But Steve and I were talking about this yesterday. I 102 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: can't see why in the world Aaron Rodgers would want 103 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: to come to the AFC. There is no quarterback better 104 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: than him in the NFC right now. Why would you 105 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: leave that conference, let alone your division? And does New 106 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: York fit Aaron Rodgers? I don't know if those two 107 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: places clashed together, right he in the media would completely 108 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: butt heads. Yeah, to go from green Bay, you know, 109 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: nice midwestern tiny town to yeah, that would I mean, 110 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: think about what happened with Brett Farreve when he did that. 111 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: He went to go play for the Jets for a year, 112 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: and he've gotten all sorts of hot water with some 113 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: off the field stuff. That didn't take long. He was 114 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: only there for a year. So yeah, I am. I'm 115 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: just gonna say he's gonna come out of the darkness 116 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: after his little dark room retreat, and I think he's 117 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: gonna say I must have been nuts for considering anything 118 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: else but staying in Green Bay. You get to play 119 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: the Bears who are still rebuilding, the Lions, who are better, 120 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: but their quarterback isn't better than your quarterback and the 121 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: Vikings who probably are in the last year with Kirk Cousins. 122 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: So there's no reason to leave that division if you're 123 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: Anon Rodgers number one and then number two. In the NFC, 124 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: there are no quarterbacks left, like the only guys that 125 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: are relatively decent. Who are we talking about? Like Brady's gone, 126 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: you got Dak Prescott, Kyler, Murray's not going to be 127 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: at the start of the year. Matthew Stafford. You don't 128 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: know what he's gonna look like coming back from an 129 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: injury that costs him the rest of the season. I mean, 130 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: you expect him to be okay, but I would still 131 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: take Rogers over him. Who knows what's going to happen 132 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, Oh they're up. They're a 133 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: quarterback sixteen car pile up right now. You know what's 134 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: going on there. Nobody can stay healthy in that job 135 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: and hurt and then Jalen hurts and that's it. Yeah, 136 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: there's nobody in the NFC. Why you would ever think 137 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: about going anywhere else, especially when they're paying you fifty 138 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: million in Green Bay. You gotta be off your rocker. 139 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: So hopefully living in darkness for four days gives him 140 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: some sense of clarity, like, I gotta be nuts. I 141 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: gotta just stay right where I am and I'll win 142 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: twelve games here barely lifting a finger. Yeah, the NFC 143 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: North is still still a lot of question marks in 144 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,599 Speaker 1: that division in the NFC, And you wonder with a 145 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: guy like that and what we've seen other quarterbacks do, 146 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady. You know, how much do you prove 147 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: in quarterbacks who have won at a very high level 148 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: and who have been in the NFL for a long time. 149 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: How important has it now become to like prove that 150 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: you can do it elsewhere? Yeah, you've done it with 151 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: one team? Is that more important than what he's getting paid? 152 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: To prove that you're you're You're just as good under 153 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: a different head coach, under a different offensive coordinator. The 154 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: grass isn't always greener though, Like right, just ask Russell 155 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: Wilson how that go? Yeah? I mean yi, so, yeah, 156 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: I if I'm Rogers, I would stay right where I am. 157 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: You're in an easier division to win. Then if you 158 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: came to the AFC East and you're in an easier 159 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: conference to get in the playoffs and advance in the playoffs. 160 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the AFC has just got a cornucopia of quarterbacks. 161 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: Why would you come to this conference? You'd be ludicrous 162 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: to do it at that point in your career too. 163 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: Well that too, but I mean he's still really good. Yeah, 164 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: but it's a much steeper hill to climb if you 165 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: come to the AFC right now with as many quarterbacks 166 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: that are in this conference. It's absolutely crazy, I think, 167 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: to do it, so I would be shocked. I wonder 168 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: who the Jets are going to have at quarterback though. 169 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: This division, the AFC East, is just going to keep 170 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: getting more interesting. I mean this past year, the Dolphins 171 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: with what they could do, the Jets still showing signs 172 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: of growing pains, but showing that they had a great 173 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: defense that was tough to score against and some really 174 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: great offensive weapons. They really just need that quarterback and 175 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: things are going to click for them. Miami Dolphins are 176 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: already off to the races, and then New England Patriots 177 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: will see what their quarterback can do. This upcoming season 178 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: kind of took a step back this past ye got 179 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: a new coordinator, so we'll see what happens there. The 180 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: Jets have a new coordinator and they'll have a new quarterback, 181 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: so there'll be some changes, you know in terms of 182 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: the play callers for those two teams. And then the 183 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: Dolphins have a new defensive coordinator and very so yeah, 184 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: there'll be some some turnover there and some different approaches 185 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: for sure. I just Peter King's report about the Jets 186 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: would go hard to pursue a trade of for Lamar Jackson. 187 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's at least it's going to be a 188 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: think about this. What was Russell Wilson's trade package? Was 189 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: it three first round picks and then some others. I 190 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: think it was at least two first round picks, that 191 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: sounds right, and there might have been three. I'm not. Yeah, 192 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: you try to uncover exactly what that trade was. But 193 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: this is Lamar Jackson, age twenty five, prime of his career, 194 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: and you want to acquire him, it's going to take 195 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: at least three ones, and you also have to sign 196 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: him to probably a contract that's going to be somewhere 197 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: north of forty eight million dollars a year. So I 198 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: guess if you feel you got everything else and you 199 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: just need that guy, knock yourself out. But all right, 200 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: here was the Seahawks traded Wilson to Denver, along with 201 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two fourth round pick in exchange for 202 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: the Broncos first round pick in twenty twenty three, quarterback 203 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: Drew Locked, tight end Noah defensive end Shelby Harrison, a 204 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: second rounder in twenty twenty three, a second rounder in 205 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and a fifth rounder in twenty twenty two. 206 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: All right, so I must be thinking that's Sean Watson. Yeah, 207 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: which was three ones? Yes, So I think that's the baseline. 208 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: If someone's calling about Lamar Jackson and you're the Ravens 209 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: and you say, well, we may not get a long 210 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: term deal done, let's move him. Yeah, it's three ones, 211 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: that's where you start. That's the starting point. And it's 212 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: probably that and some more stuff. So good luck Jets 213 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: because you have to literally give up the farm to 214 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: get him. In my opinion, I mean I could be crazy, 215 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: but that it's gonna take a lot to pry him 216 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: out of And really, I think people are gonna be 217 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 1: writing about Lamar Jackson all offseason because of the uncertainty, 218 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: no new contract, what's going on. If they can't get 219 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: a new contract with him, they're just gonna franchise him. 220 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: They're not gonna The Ravens are not an organization that 221 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: lets people get away for nothing like the Raiders with 222 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: Derek Carry. They don't operate that way. They always get 223 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: something in return, and so they franchise him. I don't 224 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: see any way around that. They're not letting him go 225 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: out the door for nothing. I'd be absolutely ludicrous. He 226 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: is way too good of a quarterback. So there is 227 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of Bill's news. The team has not 228 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: confirmed it, but after we got off the air yesterday, 229 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo is reportedly going to hire Adam Henry as their 230 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: new receivers coach, replacing the outgoing Chad Hall. Henry was 231 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: most recently the offensive coordinator slash receivers coach at Indiana University. 232 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: He has twelve years of coaching experience at the NFL level, 233 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: most recently with the Dallas Cowboys from twenty twenty to 234 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Also coached with the Browns, Giants, forty 235 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: nine Ers, and Raiders. And he also coached O'Dell Beckham 236 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: and Jarvis Landry in college at LSU, which is sparked 237 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: all the Odell Beckham speculation him back, Bring him back, 238 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: Bring all those rumors back. Yeah, coaching with Odell Beckham 239 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: junior at three different places, So this guy has some 240 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: ties to OBJ. Yeah, so doesn't mean anything. I don't know, 241 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: can't hurt, can't hurt. But yeah, he coached with him 242 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: with the Giants and then the Browns I think were 243 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: the two pro stops where he coached him. So yeah, 244 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: it could be a little angling there to maybe grease 245 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: the wheels a little bit anything. At this point in 246 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: the offseason February sixteenth, let's grab hold of whatever because 247 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: Bill's fans are backing for it. So yeah, some you know, 248 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: some we know that one of the coaching changes is official. 249 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: Joe Dana, right, Dana is how you say it. He's 250 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: the new safety's coach. And then we've seen reports, although 251 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: the team hasn't confirmed it yet, but new senior defensive 252 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: assistant Al Holcomb and now this report of a new 253 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: receiver's coach and Adam Henry. So that's kind of where 254 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: the coaching staff sits right now. There is also technically 255 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: one opening based on reports because we learned last week 256 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: according to reports, again, no team confirmation of this assistant 257 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: offensive line coach Ryan Wendell or Wendell going out to 258 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: La to be the Rams old line coach. Were the 259 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: reports we saw last week, So that is basically what's 260 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: going on here One Bill's Drive as well as around 261 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: the NFL, brought to you by Collide to Health, the 262 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills XFL football this weekend, Mannie, 263 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: do you give a hoot or no? If I'm around 264 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: and I'm at home and I'm around the TV, I 265 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: will put it on. But I'm not going out of 266 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: my way to watch. It's not a point I'm viewing. 267 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: I know. It's the only thing that intrigues me is 268 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: all the rule change and the access just being able 269 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: to hear the coach in the helmet of the quarterback 270 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: giving him the plays. And I guess they're also going 271 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: to let viewers see in real time what the quarterbacks 272 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: are looking at on their tablets on the sidelines in 273 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: between series, which is pretty wild too. So I'm very 274 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: curious about the access that the broadcast is going to 275 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: provide the viewer, maybe more than anything else. I don't 276 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: think for a second the NFL is going to ever 277 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: adopt that where, oh yeah, whatever your coach tells the quarterback, 278 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: we're going to air that are we good with that. 279 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: I don't see that happening, but to see it in 280 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: action I think would be very interesting. So there's a 281 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: part of me that, in the concern about me forgetting 282 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: about the game, I may just DVR it and then 283 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: watch it back when I have a little time, just 284 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: to see what it looks like. Because for a producer, 285 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: that's a lot of extra elements that you got a 286 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: layer in broadcast. How many camera angles you got out 287 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: there that you're calling yeah, or when are you going 288 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: to pull in that footage or play that audio? And 289 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, tell the broadcasters to shut the heck up, 290 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: the coaches talking to the quarterback, that kind of stuff 291 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: you'd think to get eyes on something like that, you 292 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: do have to do things like that. You have to 293 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: be able to give people a peek behind the curtain. 294 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: For your average football fan or for your diehard football 295 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: fans to want to turn on something like that well, 296 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: and without any household name recognition per se in the league, 297 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: I think that's a good hook to give them something 298 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: they can't get anywhere else because from what I saw 299 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: also when I was reading up on it, so Dean Blandino, 300 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: the former NFL head of officiating is their director officiating 301 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: for the XFL, but he is going to be going 302 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: through I guess what would amount to sky judge rulings 303 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: in real time, and they're going to broadcast that also, 304 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: like what he's looking at on the screen, and then 305 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: I guess he's going to be like talking them through. Well, 306 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: what I'm looking for here is to see if ay, 307 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: So instead of like a rules analyst like we see 308 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: with the network broadcast, it's the actual guy enforcing the 309 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: rules talking you through it, which is pretty crazy. I 310 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: wonder if the NFL is We will hear from Judy 311 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: Batista later in the show, and she spoke about Roger 312 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: Goodell's comments on the officiating and just how the NFL 313 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: is watching anything and everything that has to kind of 314 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: coincide with the NFL overall. I wonder if the NFL 315 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: is excited about the things the XFL is doing or 316 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: if they're kind of like, why are you going to 317 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: open this bag? Because yeah, people, well may I know 318 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: they're the NFL is never going to adopt some of 319 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: these crazy things that the XFL are doing, but it 320 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: could open the door to changing some things up. Yeah. 321 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if Excited is the word I would use. 322 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: I would say curious. They're definitely curious to see how 323 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: some of those rule changes play out. Like for example, 324 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: you know, we hear all the time about the NFL 325 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: trying to make the game safer. The on side's kick 326 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: is a collision play that can get kind of dangerous 327 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: and lead to injuries. If you have the fourth and fifteen, 328 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: gotta have it. So in other words, a team's trying 329 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: to climb back into the football game and they're down 330 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: to score and there's under a minute to play, that's 331 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: a prime on side kick time. Instead, what the XFL 332 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: allows you to do is say we're going to take 333 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: the ball on fourth and fifteen, and if you get it, 334 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,239 Speaker 1: you get to keep the ball. I could see that 335 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: one finding its way into the league if it proves 336 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: effective in the XFL. I think that's a I think 337 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: that one is most likely to be adopted, depending on 338 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: how it goes, because it makes sense for like the 339 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: safety of the game and everything, plus an onside's kick. 340 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: I think the odds are like under ten percent and 341 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: of getting them or under fifteen percent last I checked, 342 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: if I remember right. So there's there's some of those 343 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: elements that have kind of piaqued my curiosity. I'm sure 344 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: they've peaked the curiosity of the NFL as well, So 345 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how some of those new 346 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: rules play out. Topic of discussion for you today, you 347 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: have burning questions about your football team. So what burning 348 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: question do you want answered by the Bills this offseason? 349 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: You've got a question about the team, or maybe a hope, 350 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: like I really hope they take care of this. What 351 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: burning question do you want the Bills to answer this 352 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: offseason to make you feel better about the upcoming season? 353 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: Eight oh three, five fifty one eight eight five fifty two, 354 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board. Open line 355 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: for you there, and you can hit us up on 356 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet as well at one Bills Live. Before 357 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: we get to the phone calls, there is some breaking 358 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,959 Speaker 1: news on the league front. The no trade clause on 359 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: Cardinals All Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins contract has avoided, 360 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: apparently due to his six game peed suspension last year. 361 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: That according to CBS Sports Joel Cory, who is a 362 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: contract expert being a former NFL agent, several teams have 363 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: already inquired about hopkins availability before last season's trade deadline. 364 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: This would facilitate a trade because there is no longer 365 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: a no trade clause, so any team could jump into 366 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: the fray and say, hey, I want that guy. So 367 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: be interesting to see what that prompts on the trade market, 368 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 1: which you would think. You got a guy who's starting 369 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: with a fresh slate, and Jonathan Gannon the new head coach, 370 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: he's got a defense that he has to completely overhaul. 371 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: Finished thirty first and points allowed last year. Hopkins is 372 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: obviously their big weapon on offense. But can you parlay 373 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: that into rebuilding your defense? And is that a priority? 374 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: Remains to be seen. I mean, Hopkins is still a 375 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: top ten receiver in this league by far, so be interesting. 376 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: I think he's close to age thirty though, isn't he 377 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: year thirty one? How old is DeAndre Hopkins? Let's chick, 378 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: give me an age on him. DeAndre Hopkins is thirty 379 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: years old, yah, thirty, gonna turn thirty one in June. 380 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,959 Speaker 1: So not a spring chicken anymore. And you know what 381 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: they say, sell high by low and in what looks 382 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: like it could very easily be a rebuild situation. Yes, 383 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: oh yeah, quote unquote of a franchise quarterback in Kyler Murray. 384 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: Although I'm not a big fan, that's in place. Not 385 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: much else is down there, So maybe you use Hopkins 386 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: as a chip to rebuild your defense or maybe change 387 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: the dynamics of your offense. You could get a lot 388 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: back for him because he's up put you over the 389 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: top kind of receiver for a playoff contending team. So 390 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if they would go down that 391 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: road and agree to part ways with him. Yep, you've 392 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: got some newness and your coaching staff there, and you 393 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: don't have a solid roster. Why not start now? And 394 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: the GM that's there didn't even bring that guy in. 395 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: The GM is brand new, the head coach is brand new. 396 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: They're not beholding to DeAndre Hopkins in any way, shape 397 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: or form, So it wouldn't shock me if they move him. 398 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: It may take until the draft for that to happen. 399 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: But maybe somebody kicks the tires before a free agency, 400 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, maybe somebody's in the market for a free 401 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: agent receiver and says, well, you know what, I'd give 402 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: up assets for DeAndre Hopkins. They have to see, but 403 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: the path is cleared now if that no trade clause 404 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: is in fact out of the way, now you've got 405 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: thirty one other teams. The pool is now thirty one teams, 406 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: not just teams. Hopkins would be willing to go to 407 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: be very interesting to see how that plays out. But 408 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: back to the topic of discussion, what burning question do 409 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: you want answered by the Bills this offseason? Let's go 410 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: to the phones and leading us off today is Mark 411 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: in West Seneca. What do you got for his? Mark? 412 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: Here on one Bills Live A good afternoon, guys. Um, 413 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: I just have a question for you, Brownie. Um. I've 414 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: never really heard it explained. With the Bills being over 415 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,239 Speaker 1: the cap like they are, and with free agency coming up, 416 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: and with obviously with the draft coming up, how is 417 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: the salary cap actually applied? When do you have to 418 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: be under it? I mean one day, do they have 419 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: to be under the cap number one to even start 420 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: signing free agents? Yea, When do they have to start 421 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: restructuring these guys in order to get under And you know, 422 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: obviously when they're bringing in people for camping that I 423 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: know that they typically go over until they get down, 424 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: But I don't know at the beginning of the offseason 425 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: exactly how that rule is applied. I'll just hang I'll 426 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: just hang up and listen to sure. So basically, you 427 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: have to be under the cap by the start of 428 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: the new league year, which is March fifteenth, So they 429 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: got to be under by then. So the restructures and 430 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: maybe some player cuts among other things, or trades to 431 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: move a player off your books, those all have to 432 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: take place obviously before the start of the new league 433 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: year to try to get under the cap. And that's 434 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: what every team has to do this time of year. 435 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: Only the top fifty one salaries on your roster count 436 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: towards the salary cap. So like perfect example, you saw 437 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: at the end of the season, the Bills resigned a 438 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: lot of their practice squad players as reserve future free agents. 439 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: Those salaries are low enough where they do not factor 440 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: into the top fifty one salaries on your roster, so 441 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: they would not count towards your salary cap. But there 442 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: is budgeting involved because you have to budget for your 443 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: incoming draft class, and based on where you pick, you 444 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: can kind of gauge how much money you're going to 445 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: need to a lot under your cap for your draft 446 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: class that draft class. Those draft class salaries, though, do 447 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: not count towards your cap until they are signed, so 448 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: you can kind of get under the cap March fifteenth, 449 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: work some stuff, sign some free agents, still stay under 450 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: the cap. But then when it comes time to sign 451 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: your draft class, you got a budget for that, know, 452 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: when those contracts are usually signed by May and June 453 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: and then off you go. But yes, by the start 454 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: of the league year, you've got to be under March fifteen, 455 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: that's four o'clock Eastern time is official start date, So 456 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: that's the time that's got to happen. And the Bills 457 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: aren't the only team with a lot of work to 458 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: do in that area, so a lot of teams are 459 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: gonna be hard at work, and that's why this is 460 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: the time of year, you know, especially like when we're 461 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: at the combine, Maddie and Indy. You know, oh, this 462 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: guy got cut by this team, or this guy, you know, 463 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: somebody that wouldn't take a pay cut or didn't want 464 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: to restructure. They'll get lopped off a roster because that 465 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: team's got to get under the cap. And you're only 466 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: two weeks way by the time you're at a combine. 467 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: At the combine, and that's when these things tend to 468 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: gain steam and take place more often let's go back 469 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: to the phones. We go to Izzy in North Carolina. 470 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: What you got for us? Issy? Or on one Bill's life. Yes, 471 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: my burning question is all these new coaches nobody has 472 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: made an attempt to get Leslie Frazier. Is that telling 473 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: us something? Four years they're caught up to him. I mean, 474 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: I suppose that's one way you could look at it. 475 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: Is I would prefer to look at it this way. 476 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: I think more often than not, NFL owners are after 477 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: the hot young ascending assistant coach, and unfortunately that works 478 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: against Leslie Frasier as a sixty one year old assistant 479 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: head coach. Last defensive coordinator Sean Payton's exception, He's been 480 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: a successful head coach, He's won a Super Bowl, so 481 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: you would understand that. But you look at the five 482 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: head coach openings, three of them are first time head coaches, 483 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: all of whom are under age fifty so, and I 484 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: would argue that all three of them are under age 485 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: forty two if I remember right, Shane Steike and Jonathan 486 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: Gannon and Damiko Ryans, who I know for a fact 487 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: is thirty seven years old. So what owners typically chase 488 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: after are the hot young coaches that many people believe 489 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: are on the ascent. I don't think there's any question 490 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: that Leslie Fraser is a proven coach in this league, 491 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: even as head coaching experience from his time in Minnesota, 492 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: but more often than not, And Maddie, I don't know 493 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: if you agree with me on this, but I think 494 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: they go for the young, hot assistance that everybody's chasing after. 495 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: And we saw that in this coaching cycle. And I 496 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: think it's also the offensive minded head coaches that owners 497 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: want more and more now because the league lan's offensive first. 498 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: That's how the rules are shaped as and and that's 499 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: what we're seeing with the quarterbacks that are coming into 500 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: the NFL and the types of teams that are winning 501 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and winning the super Bowl. It's offensive 502 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: minded coaches. I think that, like you said, it's it's 503 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: the young firepower and what's what's attractive, what's the what's 504 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: the next hottest thing? And offense is hot right now. Yeah, 505 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: and I think it's going to continue to be. And 506 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: if you have a young quarterback or you're planning to 507 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: draft one, like the Colts, for example, who hold a 508 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: second pick in the draft, they hire an offensive guy 509 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: who has a proven track record of developing quarterbacks in 510 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: Eagles coordinator Shane Steiken. So now he is the head 511 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: coach of the Colts. And that's just kind of way 512 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: it rolls. So it's not every case, you know, but 513 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: Frank Reich has a proven track record of developing quarterbacks. 514 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: Caroline is presumably going to draft one or could draft one. 515 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: I know they did last year in the third round 516 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: in Matt Correll, but I wouldn't rule them out draft 517 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: another one or even acquiring a veteran. So they pick ninth, 518 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: how high up in the draft are they going to 519 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: move to maybe land one. We'll have to wait and see. 520 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: But that's why more and more owners are leaning offense, 521 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: because not only do they want to develop the quarterback, 522 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: they want to hold on to the offensive system that 523 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: that head coach brings with him. And if he's your 524 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: head coach, he's not going anywhere unless you fire him, 525 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: Whereas if you hire a defensive minded head coach, now 526 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: they got to hire a coordinator. If that coordinator is 527 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: very successful, he's probably out the door in two or 528 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: three years, and then you're cycling through again. And I 529 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: know a lot of owners look to avoid that as well, 530 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: we have to take a break here, but when we 531 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: come back, more of your phone calls at eight oh 532 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: three oh five fifty one, eight fifty two, five fifty 533 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: the number to get on board open line for you there. 534 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: What burning question do you want answered by the Bills 535 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: this offseason? Give us a call. We'll talk to you next. 536 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: Here on one Bills Live, presented by Kalata Health, It's 537 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, let us know what is 538 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: your burning question that you want answered by the Bills 539 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: this offseason? Chris Brown, Mattie glab with you here on 540 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: a Thursday. And where else would we go for answers? 541 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: But the tweet sheet, which is always brought to you 542 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of 543 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And leading us off on the tweet 544 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: sheet is Ray who says, I see a glimmer of 545 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: Andre Reid's skill set in limited looks at Khalil Shakier. 546 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: Will Dorsey consider using him in intermediate over the middle 547 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: areas they never seem to throw over the middle. I 548 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: will say their completions over the middle were fewer in 549 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: number this year in comparison to previous years. I don't 550 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: know if that's just a one off an aberration this year. 551 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if we can well. Josh's elbows probably 552 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: a factor, I guess in any of the throwing that happened. 553 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm not ready to call it a trend yet. It's 554 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: a statistical thing that happened this year. Is it an 555 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: anomaly or is it a trend? It's hard to say. 556 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: I think part of the problem and part of the 557 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: reason the numbers were lower over the middle is because 558 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: number one, they never adequately replaced Cole Beasley in the offense, 559 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: who made the majority of his catches. Between the numbers, 560 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: that's number one. Number two, I think the Bill saw 561 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: less man coverage, and the traditional man beat or routes 562 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: that the Bills would use to defeat man coverage were 563 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: deep overs in the middle of the field, and I 564 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: don't think there were as many of those this year. 565 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: So I think those are two factors as to why 566 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: the numbers were down there. But all that being said, 567 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ready to go Andre reed 568 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: haul of fame level for Khalil Shakir, but I do 569 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: think he can give you something in the middle of 570 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: the field, and I was a little disappointed that we 571 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: didn't see more of him sooner many Yeah, me too. 572 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: I think that position and we know the importance of 573 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: that position in that area of the field for Josh Allen. 574 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: That was Josh's security blanket for the first couple years 575 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: of his career as an NFL quarterback, and Cole Beasley 576 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: was the answer and that really helped the offense come together. 577 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: And we look back on Josh struggling to get things going, 578 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: and I think every time we saw a difference from 579 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: game to game, it was like, Okay, Josh just needs 580 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: to get like his answers need to be what is 581 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: the defense giving him And usually that was short intermediate 582 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: routes to get him going and that opens up the 583 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: rest of the field. And I look at that position 584 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: as being wide open for the taking for Khalil Shakir 585 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: or for Isamh McKenzie or whoever wants to come into 586 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: that position this next season, because there's going to be 587 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: some competition there this offseason once we get going in 588 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: OTAs and in training camp. Yeah, it's a shame that 589 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder broke his ankle in Week four because I 590 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: really think he could have offered more answers in this 591 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: offense in the middle of the field because his skill set, 592 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: I would argue, is even more diverse than that of 593 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, more yard after catchability, and I think Khalil 594 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: Shakir's ceiling authors a more diverse option in that slot 595 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 1: role than what you had with Cole be Look, Cole 596 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: Beasley was a valuable piece in this offense in twenty nineteen, 597 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: twenty and twenty one, but he was a move the 598 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: sticks guy, and I think towards the end of the 599 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: season we saw that Khalil Shakir could be more than that. 600 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the third and one play against the Dolphins. 601 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: I want to say it was in the wild card 602 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: playoff and he catches a ball deep down the middle 603 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: of the field on a third war You're putting an 604 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: awful lot of trust in a rookie to make that play. 605 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: And there was a play I want to say against 606 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots in the regular season finale, a catch and 607 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: run for twenty eight yards by Shakier over the middle 608 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: of the field. Those were some of the flashes we 609 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: saw at the end of the season that leads me 610 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: to believe that he can give you even more in 611 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: terms of diversity in the middle of the field than 612 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: Beasley gave you, which was quick, get open, sit down, 613 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: get you eight yards, moved the sticks. There wasn't a 614 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: lot of yards after catch from Coal because number one, 615 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna break a lot of tackles because of 616 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: his stature. A number two, a lot of his routes 617 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: were sit down, make the catch, and very quickly defense 618 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: closes on him, and you know, it's lunch forward for 619 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: an extra yard. Maybe I think Shakier going forward should 620 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: be able to give this offense much more in that 621 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: area of the field. But I think you're one hundred 622 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: percent right. They're absolutely going to bring in competition for 623 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: that that spot and maybe some spots on the outside 624 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: as well before it's all said and done, whether it's 625 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: free agency, trade or the draft. But I think Klal 626 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: Shakir left you wanting more what we saw from him 627 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: down the stretch, and really all of our rookies. Yeah, 628 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't think it was Yeah, it was a lack 629 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: of opportunity exactly because he wasn't doing more. Yeah, he 630 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: just didn't get those Yeah, left you wanting more in 631 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: a good way as to being excited for what's to 632 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: come next season for this group of rookies, who all 633 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: three of them are going to have such big opportunities 634 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: next year if things go right for them this offseason. 635 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: Yasha on the tweet sheet says, in light of playoff 636 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: losses in recent years, will the Bills be changing their 637 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: defensive philosophy? Rankings of the regular season don't mean much 638 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: when you're ripped apart in the playoffs. Again, I will 639 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: submit to you this, the teams that put points up 640 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: on them in the playoffs are some of the best 641 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: offenses in football, which, as we know, that's what you're 642 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: usually going to face when you get to the postseason. 643 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: I will submit this to Yash. The Eagles were in 644 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against the Chiefs, who were the number 645 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: one scoring offense in football. The Eagles were a top 646 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: three defense overall, They led the league in sacks, and 647 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: they were number one against the pass. They gave up 648 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: thirty one points on seven possessions. So it doesn't matter 649 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 1: how good your defense, I am convinced now more than ever, 650 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how good your defense is in this 651 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: league when you get to the postseason, your best path 652 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: to success is to have an offense that can match 653 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 1: that offense, whether it's Cincinnati, Kansas City, even the Eagles, 654 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: and hope that your defense can make the one, two 655 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: or three big plays to help you win the football game. 656 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: That was Kansas City's formula, and they got the one 657 00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: or two big plays they needed on defense. They got 658 00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: a defensive touchdown plan, special time to fumble, and they 659 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: got a big play on special teams that was enough 660 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: to tip the scales and allow the Chiefs to win 661 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: by three. It wasn't look at the Eagles defense. Seventy 662 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: sacks in the regular season, the third most in the 663 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: history of the league in a single season. They got 664 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: zero sacks in the Super Bowl and five quarterback hits 665 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: best pass Russian football. It's not about defense anymore. It's 666 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: about having an offense potent enough to keep scoring and 667 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: keep pace with the other team, and then hope your 668 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: defense can make a player two to swing the game 669 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: in your favor. So, if you want to talk about 670 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: changing defensive philosophy for the Bills, I could see them 671 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: tweaking some things in terms of their approach on certain 672 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: down and distance. Steve and I actually did a podcast 673 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: this week where we dove into the third down defense 674 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: of this team, and third and four and third and 675 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: five on defense for the Bills was a problem area. 676 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: The conversion percentage on those two down and distances was 677 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: fifty nine percent by their opponents. To me, that's an 678 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: alarm bell to this defensive coaching staff where they say, Okay, 679 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: we might need to have a shift in philosophy on 680 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: third and medium going forward because either A, offenses are 681 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: too good enough for us to play the way we've 682 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: been playing, or B offenses have a handle on how 683 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: we play third and four and third and five and 684 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: we need to shift our philosophy on those down and distances. 685 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: I could see those kind of tweaks happening the crux 686 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: of this defense, though as long as Frasier and McDermot 687 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: are here, I think stays the same. Yeah, and the 688 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: point about the stats during the regular season don't mean 689 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,240 Speaker 1: much when you're ripped apart in the playoffs. I think 690 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,479 Speaker 1: with that, I look at von Miller was a part 691 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: of your defense during the regular season and specifically for 692 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: this team, and I think the telling stat for this defense, 693 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 1: the defensive line, the front seven at least, was the 694 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: pressure rate that they were able to generate with Von 695 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: Miller and then the pressure rate they generated without von Miller, 696 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: and there was a big drop off, a big difference 697 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: in that you get von Miller back. But I think 698 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 1: it also tells you a little bit about the defensive line. 699 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 1: They they need to get more out of the guys 700 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 1: that were lining up when von Miller was not a 701 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: part of that lineup. I think von Miller helps you there, 702 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: but von Miller cannot be the one person that's going 703 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: to fix the defensive line. I think some of these 704 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: guys need to step up. Greg Rousseau I see him 705 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: doing more next season, but you need more from guys 706 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: like aj Epanessa and Boogie Basham. The defenses that ripped 707 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: the Bills apart in the playoffs that ousted them from 708 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: the postseason the last two years Cincinnati, who had the 709 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 1: fifth best passing offense in football and the seventh highest 710 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: scoring offense in football and also had a top five 711 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: red zone offense, and then the Kansas City Chiefs, who 712 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: had the number one passing offense in football in the 713 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 1: number one scoring offense in football. So, if you're going 714 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 1: to get ripped apart, I got news for you. The 715 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: Bills aren't the only defense that got ripped apart by 716 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs or the Bengals, respectively. Other teams did as well. 717 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: That we're in the postseason, just to ask Jacksonville, you know, 718 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: ask Baltimore so, and Baltimore, to be honest, is a 719 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: tough matchup for Cincinnati. Like Cincinnati's approach offensively is not 720 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: a good match for Baltimore. Plus Baltimore knows him like 721 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 1: the back of their hand, playing them twice a year. 722 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: So they do struggle with certain defenses and maybe if 723 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: you want to tweak some things that you think you 724 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: can execute that Baltimore employees to slow down Cincinnati. You 725 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: better believe they're going over it upstairs right now for 726 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: next season, because that's how Sean McDermott operates. If he 727 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 1: thinks there's one incremental area where there can be better 728 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: and borrow something from another team that had success against 729 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: a certain offense that, as you put it, took them 730 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: apart in the playoffs, they will explore it and if 731 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: they feel they have answers, they'll employ it next season. 732 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: So the overall philosophy, I don't think changes, but yes, 733 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 1: I think there will be tweaks and alterations to how 734 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: they do things On certain down and distance. We have 735 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: to take a break here, but more of your thoughts 736 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet and your phone calls open line 737 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: for you at eight oh three five fifty one eight 738 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty What burning question do 739 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: you want answered by the Bills this offseason? We're back 740 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 1: with more here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalid 741 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back 742 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: to one Bills Live. Chris brown'm Annie glab with you, 743 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: and we wanted to bring this up because I kind 744 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: of got a chuckle out of this. So, you know, 745 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: after Bills games here at home, there are a lot 746 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,439 Speaker 1: of people that hang around, like they'll have a couple 747 00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: of postgame Bruce Kis, you know, maybe have dinner after 748 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 1: a one o'clock game, Like they'll stay in the lots, 749 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: have dinner, you know, whether they're grilling them up or 750 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, cooking something in their camper in the camper lots. Well, yeah, 751 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: that's part of it, right, But some other people just 752 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: genuinely like to stay after the game as well and 753 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: just have dinner and then head home after and go 754 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: watch Sunday night football or whatever, or they have TVs 755 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: here in their campers or whatever, and they can watch 756 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 1: the four o'clock games. Anyway, the Patriots have a don't 757 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:33,800 Speaker 1: have that luxury. So the New England Patriots are trying 758 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: to ease postgame traffic, which not for nothing, Maddie is 759 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,720 Speaker 1: just as bad there because much like here in Orchard Park, 760 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: their stadium is in a largely residential area in Foxborough, Massachusetts. 761 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: It's halfway between Providence in Boston, give or take, but 762 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: it's largely in a residential area. The only other place 763 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: I can think of it's like that is Green Bay. 764 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,080 Speaker 1: So to ease postgame traffic, the Patriots have decided and 765 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: they're going to pay fans to stay later. Because this 766 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: is not a popular thing to do, understandably because if 767 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 1: you don't live in Foxboro, if you live in Providence 768 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: or Boston, it's a hike. It's like forty five minutes 769 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 1: to get back home. So many people are just bang 770 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: in the car out go get me home as quick 771 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 1: as possible. So the Patriots are going to essentially pay 772 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: fans to park in a specific lot across Route one 773 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: from Gillette Stadium and they have to stay at least 774 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: seventy five minutes after the game is over, and the 775 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: incentive is fans have to register in advance to stay 776 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: later after the game, and the Patriots will give them 777 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 1: a fifty dollar Visa gift card once they get to 778 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: the lot because there's a designated lot that they have 779 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: to park in. Here's the question I have, and maybe 780 00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 1: it's my fault because I haven't read far enough. Who's 781 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: guarding that lot gate? YEA to make sure. People say 782 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,720 Speaker 1: they're probably gonna close the lot gate until the seventy 783 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: five minutes are up, but I don't know. So. The 784 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: pay to leave late concept was part of other parking 785 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: changes that the team announced. Parking in stadium owned lots 786 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: across the street from the stadium is now free for 787 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: Patriot games, eliminating the need for vehicles to stop and 788 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,280 Speaker 1: pay an attendant wow, and parking passes for the stadium 789 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: side of Route one, which is limited to season ticket members, 790 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 1: are now digital and were reduced to two hundred and 791 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 1: twenty five dollars per season okay. Digital parking passes can 792 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: easily be transferred among people using friends or family members 793 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,399 Speaker 1: season tickets to attend games in an effort to speed 794 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: up entry to the parking lots again, eliminating any exchange 795 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,720 Speaker 1: of currency. So they're trying to stream line the process 796 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: to get in. Great, great idea. That's kind of a 797 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,240 Speaker 1: no brainer. I just wonder how they're going to police 798 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: people from leaving. Yeah, like is it a total barricade 799 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: type gate that you you know what I mean. You 800 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: get somebody impatient enough, they'll just snap that little liftgate 801 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: thing right off. They'll drive right through the thing, or 802 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 1: they'll try and bribe whoever's manning that gate. Hey, just 803 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:24,919 Speaker 1: let it up for me, all right. Here's a fifty 804 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,439 Speaker 1: dollars gift card back that I just got. I don't 805 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: know if it's enough of an incentive, Like a fifty 806 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 1: dollars gift card? Is that enough? I don't know if 807 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: it is, depends on how much your I just think 808 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,720 Speaker 1: it's funny, like, please stay later so we can ease 809 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: traffic and we'll pay you fifty bucks bills. Fans can 810 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 1: teach them what they do after the game in the 811 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 1: parking lots. Yeah, have a couple two tree yourself dinner, 812 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: hang out. I don't know, I don't know if that's 813 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: gonna work. I really don't like especially think about this, 814 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 1: like you go to the game and it's not like 815 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: the Patriots are winning like they used to say. Let's 816 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: just say hypothetically bad weather game, it's raining, Patriots lose, 817 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: and now you got to sit in your car for 818 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,479 Speaker 1: an hour and fifteen minutes before they let you leave. 819 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a hard bargain, you know, 820 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: I just for fifty bucks. Like the attention span of 821 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,799 Speaker 1: people in general is as limited as it has ever been. 822 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 1: I mean, we all scroll through our phones, we all, 823 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: you know what are TikTok's ten seconds long? Ten seconds long? 824 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,760 Speaker 1: You ask people to wait an hour and fifteen minutes 825 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: in their car while watching everybody else leave. And my 826 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: only incentive was this fifty dollars gift cards you gave me. 827 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: I think that's a one it's a one and done. Yeah, 828 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 1: when you already have enough money to pay four tickets 829 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 1: to begin with, and to pay to park. Here's the 830 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: silly thing. So apparently there is a train line service, 831 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: a commuter rail service from the Foxborough stop next to 832 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 1: the stadium out there, but there's only one departure time 833 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: after a game to go to Providence, And there's only 834 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: one departure time to go to Boston. So if you 835 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: don't make that train and you took public transit to 836 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 1: get there, you're out of luck. Why wouldn't you lobby 837 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: to the public transportation system to do two departures to 838 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: each city after the game, and that way you either 839 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,439 Speaker 1: make the first train or you make the second train. 840 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 1: Now you're automatically staggering traffic. Not only that, you're sending 841 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 1: more people to public transportation instead of their own vehicles. Yea, 842 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: so now there's fewer cards cars conceivably in the lot. 843 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I just have too much faith 844 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: that public transit needs to take a bigger hold on 845 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: our country, like it doesn't. You go to Europe or 846 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: foreign countries, the train systems are awesome, and we're just 847 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 1: so I don't want to say we're backwards, but we're 848 00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 1: just so conditioned to use their cars driving our cars 849 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,839 Speaker 1: that it just it causes problems like this and an 850 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: NFL game, to the point where they're now handing out 851 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 1: fifty dollars gifts please stay after the game. Here's fifty dollars, 852 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 1: please stay in the lot. I don't know if it's 853 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: gonna work. I think it's gonna be a one and 854 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: done situation. For sure. We have to take a break here, 855 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 1: but when we come back, our number two will be 856 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 1: kicked off by NFL Network reporter and NFL dot Com 857 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: conlumnist Judy Batista, going to talk to us about the 858 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 1: goings on around the NFL, including a post mortem on 859 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, among other things, including Buffalo's new receivers coach. Reportedly, 860 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 1: it's Judy Batista joining us. Next here on one Bill's 861 00:49:39,239 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: Live presented by Colloid to Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. 862 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: We see these one bills Live presented by called Light 863 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,399 Speaker 1: to Health. Our number two here on one Bills Live, 864 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,319 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Maddi glab with you. We turn now though 865 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: an hour number two to NFL dot Com reporter and 866 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst Judy Batista. All right, Judy, so let's 867 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 1: begin here now that we are in the off season. 868 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: That really isn't an off season for you, for us, 869 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,360 Speaker 1: for everybody else that covers the NFL. But you know, 870 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: rapid review of the Super Bowl, Andy Reid is kind 871 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,839 Speaker 1: of the subject I wanted to cover because now it's 872 00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 1: multiple super Bowl titles, ten conference title games, five with 873 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,880 Speaker 1: two different teams, and I realize maybe he doesn't have 874 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 1: the number of championships that Bill Belichick does, but his 875 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,279 Speaker 1: career is, let's just say a little bit cleaner in 876 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,399 Speaker 1: terms of, you know, off the you know, accusations, all 877 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,319 Speaker 1: that other stuff that you know resulted in fine suspension 878 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 1: of players, other things with you know, the Patriots organization. 879 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: Is he in Belichick's class now, even though his number 880 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,800 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl titles doesn't quite come close yet, I 881 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 1: don't know if we can put him in Belichick's class. 882 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm frankly, I'm not sure anybody's going to catch Belichick. 883 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, six super bowls is a ton 884 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: and to me would always stood about I stood out 885 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 1: about the Patriots run was that long run of how 886 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 1: many times they made it to the AFC Championship Game. 887 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: I mean, to be in the final four of the 888 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,880 Speaker 1: NFL is a year after year after year is incredibly difficult. 889 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: So that's the piece of Belichick's resume that I'm not 890 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: sure anybody's going to catch. Having said that, I mean, Andy, look, 891 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,280 Speaker 1: Andy Reid was probably a Hall of Fame coach even 892 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,399 Speaker 1: before this Super Bowl. He may have been a Hall 893 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 1: of Fame coach even before he won the first Super Bowl, 894 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: to take two different franchises to four consecutive conference championship games, 895 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:20,280 Speaker 1: which what is what he's done now is an incredible accomplishment. 896 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,760 Speaker 1: And he's won two. And look, I mean Andy's sixty 897 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 1: four years old. He's not stopping now. And Patrick Mahomes 898 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 1: is only twenty seven. He's certainly not stopping now. So 899 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't think they are done at two. I certainly 900 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 1: don't think they're going to be satisfied. It to Andy 901 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: is a Hall of Fame coach without a doubt, and 902 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 1: I think he's just, you know, going to add to 903 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 1: that as the years go by. You know, he is 904 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 1: climbing up the list of regular season victories and is 905 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: definitely climbing up the list of postseason victories. And again, 906 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 1: you know, he's not going to break up a good thing. 907 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 1: With Patrick Mahomes, I think that they'll be adding to 908 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:04,800 Speaker 1: the pile. Two Super Bowls in four seasons. Both teams 909 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 1: are a little bit different. Of course, you have Patrick Mahomes, 910 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: they've got Travis Kelsey. But what did Andy Reid prove 911 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 1: with this team and this roster that he had. Look, 912 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,319 Speaker 1: I think they proved that they can get through what 913 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 1: would appear to be more difficult circumstances and still win 914 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, don't They have already crossed the bridge 915 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,760 Speaker 1: that so many teams worry about, and that is they've 916 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: already given the huge contract to the franchise quarterback and 917 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,439 Speaker 1: they've come out the other side and won a Super 918 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,279 Speaker 1: Bowl and retooled the roster. And then last offseason they 919 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 1: lose you know, arguably the most dynamic playmaker in the 920 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: entire game, and Tyreek Hill, and they plug in some pieces, 921 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, Juju Smith, Schuster and Marcus Valda's scantling and 922 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,239 Speaker 1: they won another Super Bowl. So I mean, when you 923 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: when you see that, I know that the Chiefs sort 924 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 1: of want to portrayed as everybody thought we were rebuilding. Well, 925 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,360 Speaker 1: nobody thinks they were rebuilding. They're not going to be 926 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 1: rebuilding as long as Patrick Mahomes is upright, But you know, 927 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 1: to sort of lose that kind that level of playmaker 928 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: and then put some pieces back in and win the 929 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 1: Super Bowl immediately, you know, I think Andy proved that 930 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,280 Speaker 1: his offenses select a flexible They can play different ways. 931 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 1: The offense looked different this year than it did when 932 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,359 Speaker 1: Tyrekkill was there, and they can win whichever way they 933 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:29,720 Speaker 1: need to. All five head coaching opening openings are now filled. 934 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 1: Three of them were filled, judy by first time head coaches. 935 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: As you know, Damiko Ryan, Shane Styke, and Jonathan Gannon. 936 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 1: All of them are inheriting challenging situations. We know that's 937 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 1: why the jobs were open in the first place. But 938 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:46,240 Speaker 1: which one appears to be maybe most precarious in terms 939 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:52,240 Speaker 1: of what they're walking into Texans, Colts or Cardinals. Well, 940 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,359 Speaker 1: the Texans I like their position only because they've got 941 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 1: so much draft capital, and I think they're going to 942 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 1: be more patient. I hope they're going to be more 943 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,720 Speaker 1: patient with Damika Ryans than they were with his two predecessors, 944 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,880 Speaker 1: who both were one and done. So I think, you know, 945 00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 1: I think they've got a long rebuild, but at least 946 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,880 Speaker 1: they've got the tools to rebuild. They've got to identify 947 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,280 Speaker 1: a quarterback first. You know, the Colts have an established 948 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 1: general manager and have some pieces on the roster, but 949 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: they have to draft a quarterback. After cycling through some 950 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,840 Speaker 1: veterans and it hasn't panned out, they need to draft 951 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 1: one and develop one. And you know, so I think, 952 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,319 Speaker 1: you know, hiring Styken is probably the right move there 953 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 1: because he's proven he can develop quarterbacks. You know, Arizona 954 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,879 Speaker 1: is a tough situation because I you know, Kyler Murray, 955 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 1: I don't think is going to be ready for the 956 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: start of the season. You know, coach Cliff Kingsbury, we 957 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 1: thought was the right match for Kyler Murray and it wasn't. 958 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: So whenever he gets back again, it's going to have 959 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 1: to work with him. That defense needs to be overhauled. 960 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 1: It was not very good. So that might be the 961 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 1: toughest situation just because you have a franchise quarterback, but 962 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,320 Speaker 1: he's probably not going to be on the field immediately 963 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:06,879 Speaker 1: and you got to figure out how to work with him, 964 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,320 Speaker 1: and you also have to rebuild the defense. So he 965 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 1: labeled the toughest. But of those five, which one do 966 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 1: you think was the most interesting hire by that team, 967 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 1: by that owner? And you can go anywhere with this. 968 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 1: Let me think about that. I would probably say, well, look, 969 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,319 Speaker 1: the hiring of Sean Payton in Denver is fascinating because 970 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 1: it's Sean Payton and it's Russell Wilson, and you know, 971 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 1: how is that going to work? And can he get 972 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson back on track to be something closer to 973 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson we thought we knew, not the Russell 974 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 1: Wilson we saw last year. And that's They've got a 975 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 1: pretty good roster in Denver, and so, you know, I 976 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: think the expectations are going to be very high for 977 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: Denver to have a very quick bounce back. That was interesting. 978 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,320 Speaker 1: I you know, I think the h of Jonathan Gannon 979 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,239 Speaker 1: and Arizona is fascinating though, because he's you know, he's 980 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 1: a defensive coach, and so much of this league has 981 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: gone towards offense, and you know, I'm curious about hiring 982 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,840 Speaker 1: a defensive coach to work with Kyler Murray. That's I 983 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 1: think going to be a really interesting situation. But I 984 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 1: think big picture, probably you know, Sean Payton in Denver 985 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson is probably going to get a lot 986 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 1: of our attention. And now there are reports out there 987 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 1: that Rex Ryan's a prime candidate to be Sean Payton's 988 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in Denver. I know that Peyton once had 989 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: Rex's brother Rob as his defensive coordinator down in New Orleans, 990 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 1: But would it surprise you to see Rex take a 991 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 1: job in the league again, because he seems pretty comfortable 992 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 1: in the analyst chair on TV. You know, I was 993 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 1: talking to my husband about this. My husband's also a sportswriter, 994 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: and I was talking to him about this yesterday, saying, like, 995 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 1: no sane person would do this, right, Rex is good 996 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 1: on TV. He seems to like it. It appears that 997 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 1: they like him, so he could probably have the gig 998 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: for a really long time. He's presumably making good money 999 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 1: and he's about you know, he's apparently willing to go 1000 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 1: back into the meat grinder that is coaching, So you know, 1001 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,000 Speaker 1: normal people wouldn't make that decision. I think we know 1002 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 1: that NFL coaches just love the competition and can't stay 1003 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 1: away from it, and if they get the opportunity to 1004 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:18,040 Speaker 1: go back, most of them will. So I guess I'm 1005 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:19,960 Speaker 1: not surprised by Rex, but he you know, he's been 1006 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 1: out of the game a long time and so that 1007 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 1: would be an interesting hire. But I think they are 1008 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,360 Speaker 1: also looking to interview Vans just if and that would 1009 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 1: be another strong candidate as well. So Rex Ryan might 1010 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: get pulled back into coaching football. And I know this 1011 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,200 Speaker 1: is on the other side of the ball, but you 1012 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 1: have a offensive coordinator in Eric b Enemy who's now 1013 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:43,920 Speaker 1: interviewed close to twenty job openings within the National Football 1014 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 1: League and still hasn't hit on one of those. And 1015 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 1: now we hear Andy Reid, you know, for multiple seasons 1016 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 1: throwing Eric B. Enemy's name out there and saying he's 1017 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 1: he's worthy of getting that next job, he's worthy of 1018 00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 1: being a head coach, he's worthy of running his own show. 1019 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,440 Speaker 1: And it's now reported that he will interview for that 1020 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 1: Washington offensive coordinator position. Do you think this could be 1021 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 1: a good fit for him? What is it going to 1022 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,760 Speaker 1: take for this guy to be able to climb up 1023 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 1: the ladder within the NFL. Yeah, let's be clear, this 1024 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: was not a good hiring cycle for the NFL's diversity efforts. 1025 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,440 Speaker 1: Only one of the five jobs went to a coach 1026 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,479 Speaker 1: of color. That's Damika Ryan's and he replaced a coach 1027 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 1: of colors, So the NFL didn't gain any ground there. 1028 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the Eric the Enemy situation is just confounding. 1029 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 1: And you know, you can't overlook the fact that he 1030 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: didn't get hired, but the two coach after winning the 1031 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl for the second time, but the two coaches 1032 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 1: on the team that lost the Super Bowl both got hired. 1033 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Washington commander situation is a 1034 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 1: great one for Eric the enemy. I sort of understand 1035 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 1: the thinking that maybe he has to get out from 1036 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 1: and you read shadow and run, you know, his run 1037 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 1: the offensive show by himself, because every everybody thinks, you know, 1038 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,440 Speaker 1: this is all Andy um in Kansas City fair or not. 1039 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 1: So I think the thinking as well, if he gets 1040 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 1: out from you know, Andy, then you know, he can 1041 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 1: show that he can run an offense on his own. 1042 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 1: The problem is that the Washington situation is not an 1043 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: ideal one. They don't have an established quarterback. There is 1044 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,440 Speaker 1: a great deal of instability in the franchise. The franchise 1045 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: could be sold in a matter of months, and typically 1046 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,720 Speaker 1: new owners want to bring in their own brain trust. 1047 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 1: So I mean, you're talking about everybody potentially being on 1048 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 1: the hot seat almost immediately. So you know, that's a 1049 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 1: that's a tough spot, and I'm not sure it's the 1050 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 1: best environment for the enemy to, you know, to show like, yeah, 1051 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 1: I can do this and be super successful at it. 1052 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,240 Speaker 1: And of course that's the goal. Um, if he leaves 1053 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, you know, like again from the outside, you 1054 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: just say, like why would you ever leave? Patrick Mahomes. 1055 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 1: I mean, right, like if if you want to prove 1056 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: you can run an offense, like who better to be 1057 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: with than Patrick Mahomes. But this is a very unique case, 1058 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 1: and I don't know if this is the answer, If 1059 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 1: this is what would get Eric the Enemy a head 1060 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:14,840 Speaker 1: coaching job, it is an incredibly frustrating situation for a 1061 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 1: lot of people around the league. Andy Reid does everything 1062 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,440 Speaker 1: he can to put Eric the Enemy's name out there, 1063 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,480 Speaker 1: and mean literally wins the Super Bowl and immediately talks 1064 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:28,400 Speaker 1: about Eric the Enemy's role in it. And it's tough, 1065 01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, And I'm curious to see if he decides 1066 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 1: to make the leap to Washington and how it pans out. 1067 01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,520 Speaker 1: We heard Jets owner Woody Johnson pretty much confirm at 1068 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,600 Speaker 1: the NFL Honors that they're in the market for a 1069 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 1: veteran quarterback. Didn't want to name names, obviously for tampering reasons. 1070 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 1: In some cases, do they wait for Aaron Rodgers to 1071 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:52,160 Speaker 1: quite literally come out of the dark, or do they 1072 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 1: talk turkey with Derek Carr right now? I look, I 1073 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,440 Speaker 1: think if Woody has his drives and if Aaron Rodgers 1074 01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,439 Speaker 1: really leaves Green Bay, I think that the Jets would 1075 01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,680 Speaker 1: want to be in the mix for Aaron Rodgers. Certainly, 1076 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 1: I think they will explore all their options. I'm sure 1077 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 1: they would consider Derek Carr and whoever else, you know, 1078 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo if he becomes available. But you know, I 1079 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 1: think everybody is going to wait on Aaron Rodgers and 1080 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: his decision, because if you are in the you know, 1081 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,480 Speaker 1: Woody Johnson has shown that he does not mind big 1082 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,480 Speaker 1: name quarterbacks. Right. We went through this with Brett far before. 1083 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 1: Some of us live through that and can't believe we 1084 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:37,000 Speaker 1: might be living through this again. But you know, he 1085 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,720 Speaker 1: has an affinity for big name quarterbacks, and obviously Aaron 1086 01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,919 Speaker 1: Rodgers is the biggest name was going to be out 1087 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 1: there if he's going to be out there, So I 1088 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 1: certainly think they will wait a few days here, however 1089 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 1: long it is. Certainly everything we've heard is that, you know, 1090 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 1: Aaron wants to be able to give Green Bay an 1091 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:57,040 Speaker 1: answer yes or no, you know, in short order, and 1092 01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 1: obviously Green Bay would want that answer in short order. 1093 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,280 Speaker 1: So I don't think we're going to be waiting very 1094 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,200 Speaker 1: very long for the answer. You've guys some quarterbacks who 1095 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,080 Speaker 1: are currently in this league that are looking for new teams. 1096 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,400 Speaker 1: But you also have several quarterbacks in this year's NFL 1097 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,680 Speaker 1: draft that'll probably go in the first couple of rounds, 1098 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 1: quite a few probably in that first round there. How 1099 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,160 Speaker 1: do you see this season playing out, especially this offseason 1100 01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 1: really for quarterbacks who are trying to look for new teams. Well, 1101 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated. This is right the time of the 1102 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:33,080 Speaker 1: year where people start zooming up the draft charts. Like 1103 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,960 Speaker 1: you know, every year it feels like there's somebody who 1104 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,680 Speaker 1: flies up the draft chart and here she's like, well, like, who, 1105 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, where did that come from? So this is 1106 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 1: the time of the year when we get to the combine. 1107 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,040 Speaker 1: That's when guys start taking off and we'll start hearing 1108 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 1: about it. I certainly, you know, there's there's three guys 1109 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 1: that we already know about. There may be more again 1110 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 1: as the process plays out, but you know there's there's 1111 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 1: teams who are certainly going to be in the market. 1112 01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,920 Speaker 1: We just talked about the Indianapolists. Colts pick high and 1113 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,840 Speaker 1: I think they have finally, you know, realize they probably 1114 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 1: just need to draft a young quarterback and develop him 1115 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 1: after cycling through some veterans. So I would expect that 1116 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 1: they will draft one. You know, the bear sit at 1117 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:15,720 Speaker 1: the top. They appear to be settled on justin fields. 1118 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,600 Speaker 1: But what does that mean? You know, will they trade out? 1119 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Will a team try to go up there and get 1120 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 1: Are they so sold on a quarterback that a team 1121 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 1: will go up and try to go up there. Whenever 1122 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,760 Speaker 1: there's there are quarterbacks who are going to be at 1123 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 1: the top of the draft, it creates a great deal 1124 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 1: of excitement and nervousness because you imagine that there are 1125 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 1: going to be teams that are going to try to 1126 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 1: get up and get over each other to get in there. 1127 01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,240 Speaker 1: And again, this is the start of the period where 1128 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 1: we see how those quarterbacks are perceived, what order they're 1129 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,200 Speaker 1: going to be perceived, and and what teams are going 1130 01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 1: to be very aggressive Judy. The Bills haven't confirmed it, 1131 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 1: but reports are indicating that former NFL and college receivers 1132 01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 1: coach Adam Henry will be name their new receivers coach 1133 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 1: after the departure of Chad Hall. A lot is being 1134 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 1: made about Henry's history with Odell Beckham Junior as well 1135 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 1: as Jarvis Lantry, because he was their college receivers coach. 1136 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 1: How interesting do you find that connection, especially knowing the 1137 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: Bills were like one of three or four teams that 1138 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 1: were on the Odell Beckham pursuit train last year. First 1139 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 1: of all, can we just go back and like I 1140 01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 1: remember that that was like two weeks of NonStop like 1141 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,320 Speaker 1: where you're all going to go? And then Odell ended 1142 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 1: up going nowhere, But that, you know, that felt like 1143 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 1: a good two weeks of content for all of us. 1144 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,800 Speaker 1: So kudos to Odell. But I'm sure I find that intriguing. 1145 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 1: I you know, I think until Odell settles on a team, 1146 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,160 Speaker 1: that's going to be intriguing in any connection that he 1147 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 1: has to any member of any team, coaching staff, or 1148 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: roster is going to be scrutinized. Certainly. I you know, 1149 01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 1: I think Buffalo would be a very good fit for 1150 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: Odell because they had the gun quarterback who can deliver 1151 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 1: the wall to Odell, and that they have the kind 1152 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 1: of big play offense that O'Dell drives in and stars 1153 01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: in and can only help. So I think that would 1154 01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:13,760 Speaker 1: be that would be a fascinating combination. I am mostly 1155 01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what O'Dell has because when he 1156 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,920 Speaker 1: played for the Rams, he looked great until he got 1157 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 1: hurt again, you know, and then he suffered the injury, 1158 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 1: and so you just sort of wonder how how close 1159 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,680 Speaker 1: to what we remember of Odell at full strength can 1160 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 1: he still bit can he get all the way back? 1161 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,440 Speaker 1: I hope so, because he is as fun a player 1162 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,080 Speaker 1: to watch as there is in the entire league. One 1163 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,479 Speaker 1: more question for me, Judy Roger Goodell held his State 1164 01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,560 Speaker 1: of the League press conference last week in Arizona. Did 1165 01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,480 Speaker 1: anything stand out to you from some of those comments 1166 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,560 Speaker 1: that he made or from the press conference as we 1167 01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 1: head into the off season here. Well, I think the 1168 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,320 Speaker 1: big headline was about officiating, where he said, you know, 1169 01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 1: it's better than it's ever been. I can't remember the 1170 01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 1: exact language he used, but you know, he gave a 1171 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: very ringing endorsement of officiating, and that was coming off 1172 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:08,960 Speaker 1: of a conference championship weekend where you know, it was 1173 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 1: a little rocky in the AFC Championship game to say 1174 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:16,800 Speaker 1: the least. You know that, I thought I was surprised 1175 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,840 Speaker 1: how strong an endorsement ta game of officiating there, because 1176 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 1: certainly there were a lot of people around the league 1177 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,680 Speaker 1: who were not happy with the level of officiating in 1178 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 1: the conference championship games and who were already talking about, 1179 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 1: like what can we do to clean this up? Do 1180 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 1: you have a greater involvement from Park Avenue, you know, 1181 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 1: that sort of rapid review kind of thing. But he 1182 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,560 Speaker 1: really with those comments, I thought all but slammed the 1183 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,640 Speaker 1: door on doing any kind of significant change to how 1184 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 1: officiating is accomplished. You know, a sky judge always seems 1185 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,000 Speaker 1: to come up and then always gets dismissed. And I 1186 01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,480 Speaker 1: don't think they're going to go to sky judge. But 1187 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: certainly in the last year or so, we've seen more 1188 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 1: involvement from Park Avenue making those sort of very quick decisions, 1189 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 1: you know, and I would expect we're going to see 1190 01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,640 Speaker 1: more of that, but I you know, I think the 1191 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 1: Commissioner has come and sold you he's going to back 1192 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 1: his officiating department. And one thing I was always told 1193 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,320 Speaker 1: about about the NFL all the years they've covered it 1194 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 1: is the NFL knows It's like human error is part 1195 01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 1: of the game. Like you're you know, you're not going 1196 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 1: to have robot officials, and human error is part of 1197 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,080 Speaker 1: the game. And they can live with that, right Like 1198 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 1: they want to get it as good as it can 1199 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: possibly be, but they can live with the fact that 1200 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 1: there is going to be human error here and there, 1201 01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:34,679 Speaker 1: and they can live with the fact that we talk 1202 01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 1: about it like they're okay with us talking about officiating. 1203 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 1: It's all the other stuff that worries them. But officiating 1204 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,639 Speaker 1: is part of the game, and it's a human part 1205 01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 1: of the game, and they're going to be mistakes. Last 1206 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,320 Speaker 1: one for me, Judy. The XFL is going to debut 1207 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,880 Speaker 1: again this Saturday, debut again. I say a lot of 1208 01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,679 Speaker 1: their rules, as you know, differ from that of the NFL. 1209 01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 1: They've got the three point play after touchdowns, the fourth 1210 01:08:57,560 --> 01:08:59,559 Speaker 1: and fifteen got to have it instead of an on 1211 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 1: site kick, and access to everything, literally everything including coach 1212 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:09,360 Speaker 1: to quarterback communication for plays. How close an eye do 1213 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,839 Speaker 1: you see the NFL keeping on how that all access 1214 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 1: kind of broadcast and the different rules fly. Yeah. I 1215 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,920 Speaker 1: think especially they will keep an eye on rules because 1216 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: that's a sort of a perfect training ground. I don't 1217 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:26,479 Speaker 1: want to use the phrase training ground, but it is 1218 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 1: the perfect sort of experimental place where you can try 1219 01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 1: these things out and you know it's not going to 1220 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,719 Speaker 1: affect NFL games. It's sort of you know, the NFL 1221 01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:38,000 Speaker 1: used to have NFL Europe, and that was a perfect 1222 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 1: arena for first of all, trying players outright. Players would 1223 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 1: get experienced, coaches would get experienced, and you could try 1224 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 1: things in terms of rules and you know, you know, 1225 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 1: communications and broadcasts and things like that without it being 1226 01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 1: on the biggest stage. So look, the NFL keeps an 1227 01:09:54,520 --> 01:10:00,320 Speaker 1: eye on everything we saw in game coaching interviews this year, 1228 01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:02,720 Speaker 1: which we've never seen before. That's because that happened in 1229 01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 1: other sports, and you know, fans responded to it well, 1230 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,280 Speaker 1: so they gave it a try. So they keep an 1231 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 1: eye on everything in all sports to see what will work. 1232 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 1: And so certainly in something like the XFL, which is 1233 01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, obviously football, you know they're gonna watch and 1234 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 1: see what works. And certainly the Competition Committee especially, we'll 1235 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,280 Speaker 1: keep an eye on what they do with rules and 1236 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,880 Speaker 1: if there's anything they see there that you know, might 1237 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,200 Speaker 1: enhance the game in the NFL. Judy, thanks as always 1238 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:32,920 Speaker 1: for the time. We'll see in a couple of weeks 1239 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,160 Speaker 1: out of the NFL combine when we all start to 1240 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:41,519 Speaker 1: the calendar all over again. Never stops, all right, Thanks 1241 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,800 Speaker 1: very much, Judy. That's uh NFL dot Com columnist, NFL 1242 01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 1: Network reporter Judy Batist to joining us. We will take 1243 01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,040 Speaker 1: a break here, but Maddie and I back with more 1244 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 1: in just a few here on One Bill's Live presented 1245 01:10:51,439 --> 01:11:08,120 Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome 1246 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Mattie Glad with 1247 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,680 Speaker 1: you here on a Thursday where we have been asking you, 1248 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,040 Speaker 1: what burning question do you want answered by the Bills 1249 01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 1: this offseason? Something in your mind that you're hoping is 1250 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,360 Speaker 1: addressed answered, etc. When we go to the phones and 1251 01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,439 Speaker 1: waiting patiently, there is a orig in a car. What 1252 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,720 Speaker 1: do you got for us? Rich? Hey, guys, thanks for 1253 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 1: taking my call. You really appreciate it. Hey. I wanted 1254 01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,920 Speaker 1: to comment on our coaching staff in a couple of 1255 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,000 Speaker 1: different ways, and one of them is that with all 1256 01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:40,760 Speaker 1: the injuries that we've had, the entire secy secondary out, 1257 01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:47,280 Speaker 1: defensive line, all injuries vun obviously being gone, that our 1258 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 1: coaches did a great job, right. I mean really, especially 1259 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,800 Speaker 1: on the defensive end, with all the injuries. But I 1260 01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 1: also I also look at it and there's a real 1261 01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 1: predictability factor sometimes in what we do. I feel like 1262 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,320 Speaker 1: some of these games that we won thirteen and three. Right, 1263 01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,360 Speaker 1: how do you argue with that? But some of the 1264 01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:09,280 Speaker 1: games that we've won we won with talent, like bad 1265 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:14,120 Speaker 1: running teams like Detroit or Miami, or let's look at 1266 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 1: Cincinnati with three defensive lineen out in the playoffs are 1267 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 1: offensive line And I'm sorry, they just they ran all 1268 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 1: over us. And when teams really decided, for the most 1269 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,360 Speaker 1: part they wanted to run on us, they could get 1270 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 1: wide on us. That kind of thing. And when in 1271 01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,599 Speaker 1: the answer to those questions, when you hear the coaches 1272 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,160 Speaker 1: after the game, it's, well, we got to have gap 1273 01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 1: integrity and all that. I agree, I get it, but 1274 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:42,000 Speaker 1: they're coaches. They're responsible for getting these guys coaching them 1275 01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,800 Speaker 1: with gap integrity and that kind of thing. I feel 1276 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: like we need to get to the next level. You 1277 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,120 Speaker 1: need other level coaching, and I don't know for the 1278 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,759 Speaker 1: most part that we're getting other level coaching. We're getting 1279 01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:58,599 Speaker 1: good coaching. I'm done baffling. I will just listen to you. Well, 1280 01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:00,840 Speaker 1: wait a second, rich and I know you're saying it 1281 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,640 Speaker 1: seemed like teams ran all over the Bills. If you 1282 01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,519 Speaker 1: had to just guess off the top of your head 1283 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,800 Speaker 1: in the regular season, how many times do you think 1284 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 1: opponents went for over one hundred yards rushing against US? 1285 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,519 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I don't know, maybe six or seven. 1286 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah it was six, but I don't know though. Yeah, 1287 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,240 Speaker 1: it was six games where they went over one hundred yards. 1288 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,880 Speaker 1: And then, as you pointed out, Cincinnati ran for one 1289 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,640 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two in a game that I just 1290 01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,519 Speaker 1: think the Bills were mentally checked out. I just think 1291 01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:34,559 Speaker 1: they had nothing left to give in that game. I 1292 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,759 Speaker 1: think they were riding on fumes in the season finale. 1293 01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:42,360 Speaker 1: And we probably won't have it revealed to us until 1294 01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:47,320 Speaker 1: years later. But if you're gonna ask me my opinion 1295 01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,720 Speaker 1: on the Cincinnati game, it had Ye. Yes, Cincinnati's a 1296 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,040 Speaker 1: good team. They deserve to win the football game. But 1297 01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,559 Speaker 1: I've talked to people in the mental health field about this. 1298 01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,840 Speaker 1: I leave that stepping onto the football field with the 1299 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,599 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Not every player, but I think there were 1300 01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 1: some players that were dealing with PTSD. They step on 1301 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,960 Speaker 1: the field and they see the exact same team that 1302 01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:18,040 Speaker 1: they saw when DeMar Hamlin's collapse happened, and I don't 1303 01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 1: think they were in the right frame of mind to 1304 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:23,000 Speaker 1: play a football game. That day. I mean, you can 1305 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,719 Speaker 1: argue a bunch of different reasons why they lost that game. 1306 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 1: I'll go to my grave saying they were not in 1307 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,880 Speaker 1: a mental space to play the game the way we 1308 01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,439 Speaker 1: had seen them play all season long. Because I'm gonna 1309 01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,200 Speaker 1: tell you right now, they even looked like the same 1310 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:42,960 Speaker 1: football team that won thirteen games in that game. Mistackles, 1311 01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:49,800 Speaker 1: sloppy play, poor execution, mental errors, it was lack of 1312 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 1: physicality at the line of scrimmage. They just weren't there. 1313 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,759 Speaker 1: They weren't even the same team. And you know, those 1314 01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,080 Speaker 1: things are not consistent issues this football team. But even 1315 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,960 Speaker 1: looking at the Miami Wildcard game, how sloppy was that game? 1316 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they had fumbles, interceptions, and turnovers were a 1317 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,360 Speaker 1: consistent problem through the course of the season, but not 1318 01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:16,479 Speaker 1: in the sloppy way that we saw it against Miami. 1319 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,320 Speaker 1: And they were still able to winding, large part to 1320 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,799 Speaker 1: the fact that they were facing a third string rookie quarterback. 1321 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 1: But once they got to that season finale, I mean, 1322 01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 1: without two kick returns from Naheim Hines, they might not 1323 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:35,240 Speaker 1: even won that game. So to me, after the Damar 1324 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 1: Hamlin thing had happened, this was a change team they were. 1325 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:44,120 Speaker 1: They were not in the same framework mentally to summon 1326 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,439 Speaker 1: up the emotional investments you need every week to play 1327 01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:53,599 Speaker 1: football in sound, fundamental, airtight execution fashion. They just were 1328 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 1: a different team after that, and I really think it compromised, 1329 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, their outlook for the postseason going forward, and 1330 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,640 Speaker 1: it's a shame. It's a shame that it happened to 1331 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,320 Speaker 1: Damar and the resulting impact that affected the team was 1332 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,320 Speaker 1: equally a shame because this was a team that was 1333 01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 1: good enough in my estimation, to win the whole thing 1334 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,320 Speaker 1: and it all just got compromised by a tragic and 1335 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,960 Speaker 1: emotionally jarring situation that I think some players are still 1336 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,360 Speaker 1: dealing with. Now. Yeah, I don't think you look like 1337 01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,240 Speaker 1: a completely different team unless something happened to you, and 1338 01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,759 Speaker 1: unless you went through something. This team looked very different 1339 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,719 Speaker 1: after that situation. They looked like a completely different team 1340 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,320 Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals, and they also looked like a 1341 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,160 Speaker 1: different team after Josh Allen got hurt for those first 1342 01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:41,120 Speaker 1: few weeks. I mean, the reason this team changed a 1343 01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:44,960 Speaker 1: couple of times throughout the season wasn't it was because 1344 01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 1: of the injuries. It was because a Josh Allen and 1345 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:49,519 Speaker 1: down the stretch. It was because the situation they went 1346 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 1: through with Damar Hamlin. I think that's the one reason 1347 01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:56,639 Speaker 1: why I keep harping on a lot of people think 1348 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,679 Speaker 1: this team maybe it doesn't need an overhaul, but needs 1349 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,320 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of pieces or new coaches 1350 01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 1: to be able to be this team that people thought 1351 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: they were heading into last season. And I always go 1352 01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:14,360 Speaker 1: back to the injuries that they face this season. You're hopefully, 1353 01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 1: knock on wood, you're not going to face that this season, 1354 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,120 Speaker 1: and you're not going to face a DeMar Hamlet situation. 1355 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,439 Speaker 1: That is basically guaranteed that something like that is not 1356 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,240 Speaker 1: going to happen again for this team. They do have 1357 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:27,880 Speaker 1: a lot of talent, They do have a lot of 1358 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:30,840 Speaker 1: free agents, They have some holes on their roster, and 1359 01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 1: some of those things are going to be answered here 1360 01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:36,440 Speaker 1: in the next few weeks. Some of these burning questions 1361 01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 1: that we've been talking about for this team, we're coming 1362 01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:45,560 Speaker 1: up on those answers. Free agency is weeks away, the 1363 01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:49,000 Speaker 1: Combine is weeks away. We are less than a month 1364 01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 1: away from free agency beginning, right And look, Rich, I 1365 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,840 Speaker 1: understand your point. You see an E League coach like 1366 01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:00,599 Speaker 1: Andy Reid you know, basically coach the pants off of 1367 01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,519 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, who's a pretty darn good coach in his 1368 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,519 Speaker 1: own right. I think Andy Reid is going to go 1369 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:11,120 Speaker 1: down as one of the most brilliant offensive minds in 1370 01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,920 Speaker 1: the history of this game. I would almost go so 1371 01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:19,360 Speaker 1: far as to put him inches behind Bill Walsh, because 1372 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,680 Speaker 1: he's right there as far as an innovator of this 1373 01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 1: game with offensive football. I know that offense is all 1374 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:29,960 Speaker 1: the rage right now, and I think the Bill should 1375 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:32,840 Speaker 1: invest heavily on that side of the ball. I also 1376 01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:36,880 Speaker 1: think we should all expect Ken Dorsey to be even 1377 01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,680 Speaker 1: better next year. I mean, just I want you to 1378 01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 1: think about this, just for a second. Ken Dorsey, who 1379 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:47,000 Speaker 1: had never called plays at this level before, took an 1380 01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 1: offensive system that wasn't his to begin with, tweaked it 1381 01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:54,800 Speaker 1: in ways that he thought could help the offense and 1382 01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,480 Speaker 1: maximize the ability of the players he had at his disposal, 1383 01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:05,400 Speaker 1: and performed just as good, if not better, with the 1384 01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:09,640 Speaker 1: offense then Brian Dable did a season ago. For a 1385 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 1: first time play caller. To me, that's a feather in 1386 01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,479 Speaker 1: your cap. Would they have liked to gone further in 1387 01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Absolutely? Did they underachieve in the Divisional playoffs, 1388 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,639 Speaker 1: scoring only ten points. You bet your rear end they did. 1389 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 1: But I am of the belief that Ken Dorsey will 1390 01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,800 Speaker 1: be an even better play caller next year, which I 1391 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:31,320 Speaker 1: know is hard to stomach now because this season ended 1392 01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,320 Speaker 1: far too soon for a lot of people, including myself, 1393 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,080 Speaker 1: But I believe he will be a better play caller 1394 01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,920 Speaker 1: next year after getting this year under his belt. Let's 1395 01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,280 Speaker 1: go back to the phones and we go to Andrew 1396 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,720 Speaker 1: in Niagara Falls. We got for as Andrew. Yes, I've 1397 01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:51,880 Speaker 1: noticed something with a trend in the playoffs. Of the 1398 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 1: eight teams I made the Divisional playoffs, seven teams had 1399 01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,439 Speaker 1: an offensive minded head coach. We're the only team that 1400 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:03,080 Speaker 1: headed as a minded head coach the year before. The 1401 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:08,320 Speaker 1: last four teams that made the championship game were offensive 1402 01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:15,000 Speaker 1: head coaches. Isn't there a trend that saying that these 1403 01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,400 Speaker 1: teams that are winning and getting further and further on 1404 01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 1: are using offensive minded head coaches. Were kind of defensive 1405 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: minded head coaches are kind of gone to the waist 1406 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 1: land now due to the offense being prevalent in the 1407 01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:32,800 Speaker 1: NFL and the rules going towards them. Is wanting to 1408 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 1: get your take on that. Yeah, I mean it's a 1409 01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,280 Speaker 1: valid point, Andrew. I think the sample size is small 1410 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:39,240 Speaker 1: right now because we're only talking about a couple of 1411 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:44,400 Speaker 1: years here, But you are right. The rules do favor 1412 01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:48,280 Speaker 1: offensive football. And I would just say, Maddie, the one 1413 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,600 Speaker 1: thing that you have as a benefit, if you have 1414 01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 1: the offensive minded head coach, you has the offensive system 1415 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 1: that he brings in with him. You're never gonna lose 1416 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,599 Speaker 1: your offensive play call because he's your head coach. If 1417 01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:05,280 Speaker 1: you have a defensive head coach and your offensive play 1418 01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,800 Speaker 1: caller is a coordinator, you do run the risk of 1419 01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:09,959 Speaker 1: losing him if you're a team that has great success 1420 01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 1: to another team who may hire him as a head coach. 1421 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,960 Speaker 1: As we saw with Brian Dable. That is a risk 1422 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,479 Speaker 1: you always run with a defensive head coach. So if 1423 01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 1: that's not a risk that an owner is willing to take, 1424 01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,880 Speaker 1: they're going to hire an offensive minded head coach so 1425 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,560 Speaker 1: they could keep the offensive system in place. Now, to 1426 01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,719 Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's credit, Maddie, he did keep the offensive system 1427 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,759 Speaker 1: in place by promoting from within and naming Ken Dorsey 1428 01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:36,640 Speaker 1: is OC. And I think that's the most important part 1429 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 1: of what you just said there for a quarterback who 1430 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,639 Speaker 1: isn't a young quarterback now anymore in the NFL, Josh 1431 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:48,640 Speaker 1: Allen has been around enough time to wear a changing 1432 01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 1: of an offensive coordinator, whether it was from within or not, 1433 01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't have I think the same effect on him as 1434 01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,599 Speaker 1: it would if he was just in his first or 1435 01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:02,200 Speaker 1: second year in the NFL. I understand the consistency there 1436 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,240 Speaker 1: with if you have your head coach and he's an 1437 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,720 Speaker 1: offensive minded guy, you're going to keep that throughout the 1438 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,559 Speaker 1: entirety of your career when that quarterback is with that team. 1439 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 1: But I think that plays into it being the most 1440 01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:16,960 Speaker 1: important with a quarterback in his first few years in 1441 01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,519 Speaker 1: the NFL. I think Josh Allen is beyond that. I 1442 01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:23,479 Speaker 1: think because he is beyond that, he can't adjust to 1443 01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,519 Speaker 1: whoever will come in and call plays for the Bills. 1444 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 1: I think it's beneficial to have that same guy or 1445 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:33,760 Speaker 1: that same type of mindset with whatever quarterback. But I 1446 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,840 Speaker 1: just think it is more beneficial for a quarterback who's 1447 01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,360 Speaker 1: in his first few years. And this is a question 1448 01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 1: I feel like we've all been asked or all been posed, 1449 01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,479 Speaker 1: and it's been a hot topic in the NFL of 1450 01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 1: should you be hiring an offensive minded coach. But it's 1451 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,679 Speaker 1: a question of like, why are we even entertaining it here, 1452 01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,479 Speaker 1: Like Sean McDermott is not going anywhere in the next 1453 01:22:56,520 --> 01:23:03,160 Speaker 1: few years year extent run the thing great here. This 1454 01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 1: team has been to multiple playoff games in multiple seasons 1455 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:10,160 Speaker 1: in a row. They've won the AFC East three years 1456 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,679 Speaker 1: in a row. Why are we talking about the Bills 1457 01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:17,800 Speaker 1: needing to hire an offensive minded coach or why are 1458 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,439 Speaker 1: we even entertaining that It's not gonna happen. It's not 1459 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,640 Speaker 1: going to happen next year, it's not gonna happen the 1460 01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:24,680 Speaker 1: year after that, and it's not going to happen in 1461 01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,200 Speaker 1: three years because Sean McDermott will be here in three 1462 01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:32,120 Speaker 1: years unless something crazy happens, So that change is not 1463 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,880 Speaker 1: coming to Buffalo anytimes too right, And I think the 1464 01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 1: bottom line is this, While you can argue certain advantages 1465 01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,720 Speaker 1: of continuity by hiring an offensive minded head coach if 1466 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:46,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna lean offense, and I think there are advantages 1467 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,519 Speaker 1: to having that kind of continuity with the offensive side 1468 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:53,519 Speaker 1: of the football, the bottom line for an owner when 1469 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,800 Speaker 1: he's naming a head coach is to hire the best 1470 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,439 Speaker 1: person for that situation and that job. And I don't 1471 01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:01,559 Speaker 1: know if Terry Bagoula could have done better than Sean 1472 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:07,360 Speaker 1: McDermott in terms of what was here the previous seventeen years. 1473 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: No other coach came in and was able to reverse 1474 01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 1: the trend that persisted for seventeen seasons, and McDermott did 1475 01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 1: it in one year with the roster that was devoid 1476 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 1: of a lot of things and still got the team 1477 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:25,839 Speaker 1: to the playoffs in year one. I realize expectations are different. 1478 01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,639 Speaker 1: Now you have an all world quarterback, you have an 1479 01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 1: A plus roster. I get all that, and it's hard 1480 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:35,200 Speaker 1: to stomach when you see your team underperform in a 1481 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 1: playoff game. And that's what happened. Again, I will go 1482 01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 1: back to this team was not in a mental headspace 1483 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:45,519 Speaker 1: to play a playoff game, let alone a regular season 1484 01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 1: football game in light of what had happened just three 1485 01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 1: weeks prior. Now you can call that excuse making and 1486 01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:53,960 Speaker 1: call whatever you want. I'd already said it. I'll go 1487 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,639 Speaker 1: to my grave saying they were not in a mental 1488 01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,360 Speaker 1: headspace to play football game that day. It's unfortunate, but 1489 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:04,960 Speaker 1: that's what happened. I still maintain this. This team, as 1490 01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 1: Steve is said on this show many times, has been 1491 01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:09,160 Speaker 1: good enough to win the whole thing each of the 1492 01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:12,160 Speaker 1: last three years. And I am confident that Brandon being 1493 01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,320 Speaker 1: in this personnel department will position this roster to again 1494 01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,559 Speaker 1: be in a position to win the whole thing next 1495 01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:21,360 Speaker 1: year or be a contender to do so. And the 1496 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,240 Speaker 1: other bottom line is this, in their last fifty games, 1497 01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:29,600 Speaker 1: the Bills are thirty seven and thirteen. Thirty seven and thirteen. 1498 01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:32,760 Speaker 1: You've been a fan of this team long enough to 1499 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,920 Speaker 1: know where they were from twenty from two thousand to 1500 01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:40,800 Speaker 1: two sixteen, you'll know that's pretty tough to top. So 1501 01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:43,720 Speaker 1: you can say what you want, you can be disappointed, 1502 01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,880 Speaker 1: that's all well and good. But for me, the bottom 1503 01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,640 Speaker 1: line is this is a perennial, perennial winner with a 1504 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:53,719 Speaker 1: chance to win the whole thing every year. If if 1505 01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,120 Speaker 1: you're not satisfied with the coaching, well that's your opinion 1506 01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,200 Speaker 1: and you're entitled to it. I'm not going to sit 1507 01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,439 Speaker 1: on that fence. We got to take a break here 1508 01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:03,920 Speaker 1: when we come back. Some final thoughts on the tweet 1509 01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:24,360 Speaker 1: sheet next here on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned, all right, 1510 01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,280 Speaker 1: welcome back to one Bills Live, where we've been asking 1511 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,760 Speaker 1: you today, what burning question do you want answered by 1512 01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,639 Speaker 1: the Bills this offseason? Floyd on the tweet sheet says, 1513 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:35,280 Speaker 1: can they invest draft capital into the offensive line? I 1514 01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,200 Speaker 1: understand Dawkins and Brown were drafted, but the veteran signings 1515 01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:40,000 Speaker 1: and hopes of a line meshing has not worked well 1516 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,960 Speaker 1: the last two off seasons. Drafting two olignemen before round 1517 01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,840 Speaker 1: five should be a priority if the value is there. 1518 01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 1: I will not disagree with you, Floyd. Yeah, We've been 1519 01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,519 Speaker 1: looking at the mock drafts that have been coming out, 1520 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:57,320 Speaker 1: and I think analysts also agree that the Bills should 1521 01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:00,920 Speaker 1: invest some sort of draft capital in the offensive line. 1522 01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 1: I've seen some guards coming off the board at number 1523 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven and some tackles as well, So I mean, 1524 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:09,559 Speaker 1: we'll see if that's where the Bills decide to go 1525 01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:12,200 Speaker 1: with number twenty seven. It's been all over the board. 1526 01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:15,639 Speaker 1: D Jack on the tweet sheet says three problems still 1527 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 1: unanswered since this regime since this regime got here. One 1528 01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,559 Speaker 1: can't rush the passer, two can't run the ball, and 1529 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:24,639 Speaker 1: can't stop the run. I don't care what the stats 1530 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,240 Speaker 1: say when it matters most They can't stop anything. Three 1531 01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,839 Speaker 1: can't protect Allen. Why is this not solved? Other teams 1532 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:35,080 Speaker 1: fix it in one year. As far as rushing the passer, 1533 01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,800 Speaker 1: that was compromised by the von Miller injury, and with 1534 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:40,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles in the Super Bowl, it convinced me that 1535 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,719 Speaker 1: rushing the passer is going to fall on deaf ears 1536 01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:47,599 Speaker 1: in a lot of cases because quarterbacks, the best ones anyway, 1537 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:48,960 Speaker 1: get the ball out in two and a half seconds 1538 01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 1: or less. I don't care if you have you saying 1539 01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:52,240 Speaker 1: bolters a defensive end. He's not getting back there in 1540 01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 1: time running the ball. Yes, it's an issue, but it's 1541 01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 1: not their identity. That's not what they do. Their identity 1542 01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 1: is throwing the football, stopping the run. We covered that 1543 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,960 Speaker 1: with rich in a car can't protect Allen. The reason 1544 01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,200 Speaker 1: that's an issue is because Josh held onto the ball 1545 01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:09,280 Speaker 1: a lot of times, try to make something out of nothing, 1546 01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,839 Speaker 1: or to wait for a longer developing play to unfold 1547 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 1: for him to make a giant play when he probably 1548 01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,400 Speaker 1: should have taken more checked outs this year. Yeah, I 1549 01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:18,880 Speaker 1: think you can see all of those things improving this 1550 01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:22,479 Speaker 1: offseason with new players coming in and just more time 1551 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:26,240 Speaker 1: on task. Tiffany. Our last one, aside from Diggs who 1552 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:28,599 Speaker 1: will emerge as a legitimate offensive weapon, is that player 1553 01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:30,599 Speaker 1: on the rosters you needed to go out and either 1554 01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:32,800 Speaker 1: draft or hit on a free agent target. Tiffany, I 1555 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:36,120 Speaker 1: will say it's probably the latter. They gave Gabe Davis, 1556 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:41,519 Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie and others the opportunity, full opportunity to prove 1557 01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,959 Speaker 1: they could be a consistent weekend, week out weapon opposite 1558 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,200 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. I don't think they lived up to that, 1559 01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,720 Speaker 1: and so competition is invariably going to be brought in. Yeah, 1560 01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:55,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver another hot position for draft analysts for the 1561 01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,520 Speaker 1: Bills at number twenty seven. There's some good wide receivers 1562 01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,839 Speaker 1: in this year's draft. Not as deep as previous drafts, 1563 01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 1: but there's some names that could come off the board 1564 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:07,479 Speaker 1: in the first round. Finally, from Sarah, what will it 1565 01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:11,120 Speaker 1: take to keep the higher POI duo together? A lot 1566 01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:13,640 Speaker 1: of money and I don't know that the Bills are 1567 01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:15,599 Speaker 1: willing to spend it on a thirty two year old 1568 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,439 Speaker 1: safety who's been fantastic playing at all pro level, but 1569 01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:22,320 Speaker 1: injuries did catch up with him this year. They got 1570 01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:24,840 Speaker 1: to make good financial decisions here. As tough as they 1571 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:28,360 Speaker 1: may be, sometimes the right decision isn't always the easy decision. 1572 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:30,680 Speaker 1: That's it from Addie and me today. We'll see you 1573 01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:36,880 Speaker 1: tomorrow at one
