00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: at One Bill's Drive. We're talking about the Buffalo Bills.

5
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Josh is in here with me all week as Brownie's

6
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: taking a week off. It's that time of year, and

7
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: Brownie leaves, and look what happened. For those of you

8
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: who are just tuning in and haven't heard this and

9
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: don't have social media. It was reported earlier by Adam Schefter,

10
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: but it's been confirmed since then that the Bills are

11
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: working on to trade with Chicago Bears. They're going to

12
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: bring in wide receiver Dj Moore, who signed a contract

13
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: extension with the Bears in July of twenty twenty four,

14
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: this last year to be extended. He's coming off two

15
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: straight seasons of ninety plus receptions with the Bears. He

16
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: didn't have that great a year this last year as

17
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams started to you know, the offense started to

18
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: evolve with Caleb Williams and all that. But Dj Moore,

19
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: who's an eight year veteran, he had five years, five

20
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: years with Carolina. Now he's last three with Chicago. Signed

21
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: an extension with Carolina, then got traded to Chicago as

22
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. Got traded to Chicago in the deal

23
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: that allowed Chicago or allowed Carolina to pick Bryce Young

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: first overall. He was part of the sweet nerd that

25
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: made Chicago trade that pick to Carolina. He can play.

26
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: He's got a deal that is worth They're gonna get

27
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: forty million dollars in guarantees to DJ Moore for this contract.

28
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: The Bills will guarantee fifteen point five in a week.

29
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: They will guarantee his base salary this year probably, and

30
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: they can convert some of it to base salary. The

31
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: lowerest cap as low as six million bucks or a

32
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: little below seven million dollars this year. But they're guaranteeing him.

33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: It looks like over the next three weeks about forty

34
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: million dollars to come in and play wide receiver for

35
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. He's a legit dude. He was twenty

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: fourth pick overall in twenty eighteen, same year Josh Allen

37
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: came out. He was the twenty fourth pick. Josh was

38
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: the seventh pick. He has played well. Had a down

39
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: year this last year, and it looks like Chicago, and

40
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: because of the structure of the contract, Chicago's getting a

41
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: huge amount of cap really for this. So it looks

42
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: like DJ Moore is gonna be a Buffalo. Bill More

43
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: was the most recent winner of the Walter Payton Man

44
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: of the Year, so he's that kind of guy. He

45
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: was with Chicago Walter Payton's team, and he was there.

46
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 1: Walter Payton Man of the Year would seem to fit

47
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: fit the culture wherever he's gonna play. He's one of

48
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: those guys. He started his career as a twenty fourth

49
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: overall pick. He signed a second year contract with Carolina,

50
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: got traded Chicago. His contract runs through twenty twenty nine

51
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: and it averages twenty four point five in all of

52
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: those years. So sooner or later you're gonna have to

53
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: pay that piper. Nobody cares if he can play. He's

54
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: only he has not missed a game in knock On Wood.

55
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: He has not missed a game in five years, seventeen games,

56
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: seventeen games he played in seventeen games a year he

57
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: started in Yes, that's all in it. So DJ Moore

58
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: looks like he's coming to Buffalo to be a Buffalo Bill.

59
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: He's a dude, Josh, what do you think.

60
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big chunk of change, right, Yeah, it's

61
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: a big roll of the dice.

62
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: It really is.

63
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: But I've said it since the offseason began, and I

64
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: said it on here the last two days.

65
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: This.

66
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: I really like Brandon Bean in this position. I do

67
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: because I thought he was going to be aggressive and

68
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: here we are. Here he goes out and he finds

69
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: himself what they believe to be a number one wide

70
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: receiver and the talent is there.

71
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: You mentioned it, one of the big things. He's twenty

72
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 3: nine years.

73
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: Old, right, so it's gonna be gonna be So the

74
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: age is maybe a little bit of a concern, but

75
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: you outlined it there.

76
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: He doesn't miss games.

77
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: In fact, not only has he not missed a game

78
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty, in twenty twenty he missed one game,

79
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: and in twenty nineteen he missed one game. So his

80
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: entire career he's missed a total of.

81
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 3: Two games and nine seasons.

82
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: That says a lot about a guy who is going

83
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: to stay on the field and fight through it, because,

84
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: let's face it, all guys are dealing with injuries. He

85
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: fights through it. He stays on the field, he's reliable.

86
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 2: If you were somebody that liked the Mike Evans idea,

87
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: this guy's this guy several years younger.

88
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they the Bills are giving up the sixtieth

89
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: pick in this year's draft, the number two to the

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: second round pick sixtieth, they keep the twenty sixth pick,

91
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: they give up the sixtieth pick. They get back the

92
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: one sixty one, sixty four. I'm sorry. So Chicago gives

93
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: the Bills a sixth rounder and I'm sorry, the twenty

94
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: fifth pick of the fifth round. The Bills get back

95
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: a fifth in this year's draft and give up the

96
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: sixtieth pick in this year's draft, and they get DJ Moore. Well,

97
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: it's big, it's huge.

98
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a this is a wide receiver

99
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: now that other defenses are gonna actually have to game

100
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: plan for. They're gonna have to go into a week

101
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: and go, Okay, we have to limit the way that

102
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: DJ Moore can possibly beat us. That's what they're going

103
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: to have to do. DJ Moore, to me, is a

104
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: wide receiver that not only is he good, there's a

105
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: trickle down effect there. He's going to make the other

106
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: receivers in the room better because there's gonna be a

107
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: few more eyeballs looking his way, going all right, you

108
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: know Dj Moore, what's he doing on this play?

109
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 3: You know based on the formation.

110
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: He's got a track record with Joe Brady too, because

111
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: Joe Brady was his offensive coordinator for two years in

112
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: Carolina and he put up big numbers in those two years.

113
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: So there's a comfortability that comes.

114
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: To there's a level of comfort with those two and

115
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. So I guess the topic of the

116
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: day was gonna be, you know, what's the one free

117
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: agent the Bills are losing that you want to keep.

118
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, because what do you think about? This

119
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: is what you know? Tweet at us if you want, uh,

120
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: it's yeah, this is you know. DJ Moore is a

121
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: is a guy that he signed a second contract with Carolina.

122
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: They loved him. Then they have to give him up

123
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: to Chicago in the deal that sends Bryce Young to

124
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: Carolina as the first round as the first overall pick.

125
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: He signed an extension with Chicago. They loved him. He

126
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: had in twenty three he had ninety oh see in

127
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: twenty three, ninety six receptions.

128
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Thirteen hundred yards, that's right, and in twenty touchdown that's right.

129
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: And in twenty four he also had ninety six ninety

130
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: three catches something like that. I mean, the guy was

131
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: he he's had a lot of catching. Now this last

132
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: year he only had fifty catches for six hundred and

133
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: some yards. I can't remember, but he's yeah, he's a playing.

134
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I know what a lot of fans will

135
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: say is, you know, why was he available?

136
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Right?

137
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: Why was he Why were the Bills able to camp

138
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: relief Caprileaf? And the other part of the equation is

139
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: the Bears have gone young at the skill position, right,

140
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: they go out draft roma dunsay, they in Loveland the

141
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: tight end, they've got some young pieces burning on the outside.

142
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: They've got younger pieces on the outside now. So he

143
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: was somebody that they could afford to dangle to a

144
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: Bills and go, look you need a wide receiver, we

145
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: need cap relief. And look, the sixtieth pick overall is

146
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: nothing to sneeze at either. So they're getting a really

147
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: valuable draft commodity in exchange.

148
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: I think this is a win.

149
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: This is one of those instances where it's really a

150
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: win for both teams.

151
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: In this one. Yeah, that the Bears are getting an

152
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: enormous amount of cap relief and then they can use

153
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: that to build their roster in a different way. Romadonza

154
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: is was a guy, a young guy for them. He

155
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: got a stress fraction in his foot and couldn't play,

156
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: and Dj Moore stepped into that. Interesting and I look,

157
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: this is me when I look for stuff, and you

158
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: look at what happened this last season. They needed Dj

159
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: Moore to step in when Romaduonze went down, and he

160
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: had his best game against the Green Bay Packers, you know,

161
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: which is a good timing, which is huge in Chicago.

162
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: So in the big moments, he stepped up and played

163
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: well for the team he was on the Bears, and

164
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, good for him. This is yeah, this is

165
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: not nothing. This is getting ready. This is posturing for

166
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: the draft. So now this changes. I think what happens

167
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: in late April when the Bills pick at twenty six.

168
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you look, I know a lot of Bills

169
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: fans wanted to see, Hey, twenty six gotta be a

170
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: wide receiver. You gotta find a you gotta fill that

171
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: need at twenty six. Here we are with Dj Moore.

172
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: Now that probably changes the conversation. I also know that

173
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: there are a lot of Bills fans out there that like,

174
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: I don't care take another receiver at twenty six, But

175
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: I look, this changes that. To me, this changes a

176
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: lot in particular because you're switching defenses now and there's

177
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: a lot of holes on that side of the ball

178
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna need to address. And this is a this

179
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: is a draft where at twenty six there's linebacker and

180
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: it's safety.

181
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 3: And yesterday we even talked about it. If you get a.

182
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: Safety at twenty six, it may be a premier player

183
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: because of the position and the value that's placed on

184
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: that position. But I do think it changes a little

185
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 2: bit of that conversation. Spot Track is one of the

186
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: guys that I know, we both follow.

187
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: They do a great job.

188
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: Of breaking down different things when it comes to the

189
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: salary cap and everything.

190
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: I thought this was interesting.

191
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: He said Buffalo can process a full salary conversion on

192
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: DJ Moore upon acquiring him, lowering his cap hit to

193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: six point seventy five and twenty twenty six, creating seventeen

194
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: and a half million of space. I mean, that's that

195
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: that's good stuff right there.

196
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that really helps this year. He averaged one thousand

197
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: yards a year in his three years with Chicago, despite

198
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: having only six hundred and eighty two and nine hundred

199
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: and sixty six in the last two years combined. In

200
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: the year he had nine hundred and sixty six that

201
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: was on ninety eight receptions. So they used him as

202
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: a slot guy, an inside guy, but or at least

203
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: it looks that way. But man, oh man, he had

204
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred yards in twenty twenty three, nine hundred and

205
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: sixty six in twenty twenty four, only six hundred and

206
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: eighty two this last year on fifty receptions, but it

207
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: was his second highest total with Chicago in yards per

208
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: catch or h yards per catch. It's really an intriguing trade.

209
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: This is this is a player that has been really

210
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: productive in his time. He was a first round pick

211
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: and has played like it. He's got eight thousand, over

212
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: eight thousand career yards in receiving in an eight year career.

213
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: And he he there is position flexibility there.

214
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 2: I mean, he can play on the outside. As you mentioned,

215
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: he's shown that he can play in the slot. So

216
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 2: it'll be it's gonna be fun to see exactly how

217
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: Joe Brady manipulates him, moves him around on the defense.

218
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: And I mean he's a guy that we even saw

219
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: lineup in the backfield and make plays throughout his NFL career,

220
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: coming out of the backfield and catching passes that way.

221
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: He's a jet sweet guy. He's somebody that can. He's

222
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: got all the tools in the tool bag.

223
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's an ext receiver and has been used everywhere

224
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: as most guys are at certain points in their career

225
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: depending on the matchups of the defense and all of that.

226
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: He's I think we're going to see a motivated DJ

227
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: Moore too.

228
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: He's a legit dude, and it will be interesting to

229
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: see how he does. Twenty eight gonna be twenty nine

230
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: in April. I think this contract lines up exactly where

231
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: if he's productive, obviously, if he plays well, it's a

232
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: perfect timing for his career. His line his contracts line

233
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: up with his age, so he's if you got if

234
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: he's got three more years of productivity in his tank,

235
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: his contract perfectly lines up with that. So and his

236
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: track record is a healthy guy who shows up every week. Yeah.

237
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: And I was talking to Eric Wood on the ride

238
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: end to the studio and I brought up the age thing,

239
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, what do you how do

240
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: you feel about that when you hear age is the

241
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: fact that he goes and he brought up, look, the

242
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: guy's never hurt a and he goes twenty nine. Now,

243
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: isn't twenty nine what it used to be?

244
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: Like?

245
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: This guy changes Like look.

246
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: I can get it.

247
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: You'll see a little bit of the drop off and

248
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: stuff that happens with everybody at any position.

249
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: But he goes.

250
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: He didn't seem to think that age when it comes

251
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: to DJ Moore is necessarily.

252
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: This huge drawback and a huge concern for him. And

253
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: I thought, you know, anytime Eric.

254
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: Wood wants to drop some dolage on me, I'm gonna

255
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: take it and share it with with the viewers in

256
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: the and the fans.

257
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's certainly every guy's different. Some guy's age

258
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: more graceful fully than others. But I think that's the

259
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: real that's the issue with this. If you don't like it,

260
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: it's probably because of the money and the guarantees in

261
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: the contract. The bills have gone down this road. You know,

262
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago with Vaughn and there had

263
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people tay you they're in the same

264
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: boat with Palmer the same way. That's that's what it

265
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: takes to get one of these guys. Say what you want.

266
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe this does Maybe this doesn't change the draft

267
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, draft another one at twenty six,

268
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, finally get some guys. I still think they've

269
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: got some work to do on the defensive side of

270
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: the ball. They'll probably we'll probably start hearing about that

271
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: as free agency opens up. But I think this is

272
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: a great place to start.

273
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it changes your need and free agency immediately

274
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: right now.

275
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 4: You know.

276
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: The thought was, okay, when we sat down yesterday read

277
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: down through all the lists of free agents and went

278
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: over some of the wide receivers that could be available

279
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: for the Bills, Well that I think that crosses that

280
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: off the list immediately. The drafts another conversation. I think

281
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: you can still look to add in the draft a

282
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: younger receiver that you can help develop him and everything.

283
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: But it's sitting at twenty six now, and with no

284
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: pick in the second round anymore, you gotta make number

285
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: twenty six count.

286
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: I mean, there's I mean, you gotta make.

287
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: Account and it'll be interesting now, you know, because we've

288
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: seen Brandon in the.

289
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: Past, not afraid to move up, not afraid to move back.

290
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: Now, if you move back, you can maybe recoup some

291
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: of that draft capital.

292
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, sixty, that's the only way you do it. And

293
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't say that the things we've been talking about

294
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: up to this point or off the table either. And

295
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: there might be guys on this roster that have out

296
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: don't fit. If there are, and you can get something

297
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,359
Speaker 1: for them from a team where they do fit. Yeah,

298
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: and that comes with draft capital.

299
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

300
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: DJ Moore was the twenty fourth overall pick and the

301
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: Bills got him for a sixtieth so and nine years

302
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: later and nine years later and flip this and flipped

303
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: back in the background and got a fifth back in return.

304
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

305
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: I would say Josh Allen's having a good day to day.

306
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he I mean finds out this news

307
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: that he's got himself a you know, we that guy.

308
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: And you know we've been enamored with wideouts before. Sure,

309
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how the guy plays when

310
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: he gets here.

311
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, look, I know Steph Diggs wat is welcome.

312
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: Before he left, before he headed out the door, and

313
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: you know he did it again in New England and

314
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: all the whole thing. But Steph Diggs had a track

315
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: record before he got here of producing on the field, right,

316
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: DJ moorees got a track record. I know Diggs was

317
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: a little younger, he was a couple of years younger

318
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: than right now. But look at the same time, they're

319
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: both productive on the field, and there's nothing that leads

320
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: me to believe that DJ Moore is not gonna come here. Look,

321
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is a really good NFL quarterback and he

322
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: may end up being elite, but Josh Allen's already elite.

323
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: So I think that's a pretty good place to start.

324
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: I mean, who was throwing them the ball in Carolina when.

325
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: Joe Brady Cam was there. Cam Newton was his early

326
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: uh play, his early comp as early quarterback, but that

327
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: was at the end. That was three years after Cam

328
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: had gone to the Super Bowl.

329
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was a little different, Yeah, a little different.

330
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: And then he you know, three years in Chicago, he

331
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: had I think two years of Caleb Williams. One year

332
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: he had ninety eight, you know, ninety catches with Caleb, Right,

333
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: So this is Caleb's second year, This was Caleb's second year, right, So.

334
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, he's put up huge numbers with Oka

335
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: quarterback play. Now, Caleb's more than okay now, But that

336
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 2: was last year.

337
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: That Caleb Williams two years ago.

338
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: And and that the rookie version of Caleb Williams wasn't

339
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: exactly lighting the world on fire. There were some questions

340
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: about Caleb Williams in that first year.

341
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, man, is he gonna figure it out?

342
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 2: Of course, then they go and get Ben Jons right,

343
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: and then you know the change obviously, the structure of

344
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: their offense, the way they do things. They add a

345
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: couple of young pieces. Ben Johnson maybe says, I don't

346
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: know how much we need DJ Moore.

347
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 3: Clearly they didn't think they needed them, because they trade

348
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: them away.

349
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: Well, they needed the money worse than they needed the player.

350
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: And and there you have. I mean, they Tremaine Edmonds

351
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: is going to be a cap casualty. DJ Moore is

352
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: going to be a cap casualty, and they're gonna just

353
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: kind of keep trucking on there. And they're in a

354
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: position where, you know, the bills were a few years

355
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: ago when it was time to pay Josh or you know,

356
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: align the roster where Josh could be effective. And these guys,

357
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, because of their salaries, because of their age,

358
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: and because of some of the young guys who have

359
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: emerged like Romadonze for the Chicago Bears and say well

360
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: we got we got guys. So yeah, I mean there's

361
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: we've seen it.

362
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: We're watching these highlights right now, going these are Carolina highlights.

363
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, these are Carolina Island.

364
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: And I think Joe Brady probably has obviously signed off

365
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: on this, yeah, and said, no, this guy's he's a

366
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: culture guy, no question, it's Walter Payton, Mann of the

367
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: Year guy for the Chicago Bears. Joe Brady's got a

368
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: track record with him earlier in his career. And yeah,

369
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: when you they there's no doubt you think about this.

370
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: And there's names we don't know about. And certainly these

371
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: free agent names that we've been talking about with Alec

372
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: Pierce and Rashid Shaheed, Mike Evans, Wandale Robinson, Romeo Dobbs,

373
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings, all these guys that are out there are

374
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: on the list. But there are also other team teams

375
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: in the same position that DJ Moore was with in Chicago,

376
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: guys who may be out there that you could trade for.

377
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: And certainly this is one of the guys that Joe

378
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: Brady said, No, I don't have a problem with No.

379
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: DJ Moore is on my leg. Yeah, I'll take DJ

380
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: Moore sure. One of those kind of things along with

381
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: the names on other lists that we don't know.

382
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: About and that track wreck it's important like having that

383
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 2: coach three for a coach, that's important. And you know

384
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: what I would say, it's probably also important to DJ

385
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: Moore with it for just being comfortable, you know what

386
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: I mean.

387
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: He has heard the way Joe Brady runs offensive meetings.

388
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: He knows there there.

389
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: You know, there's a backstory between those two that where

390
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: they're obviously Joe likes him enough to go, hey, come

391
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 2: on in, we'd love you to help.

392
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: This offense get to the next level.

393
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: There's always a level of that with Joe's a first

394
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: time head coach. He's seeking a comfort level. He wants

395
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: guys that he wants the because there's so much it's unpredictable, right.

396
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Coaches love things that they can predict. They love dependable guys,

397
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: they love track records what we're talking about. They love

398
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: guys that they trust and DJ Moore's obviously on that list,

399
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: or at least he seems to be right.

400
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: And you mentioned the Alec Pierces, some of these higher

401
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: end wide receivers. Look, they were gonna get every bit

402
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: of every dollar that we're talking about with DJ Moore,

403
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: like they were gonna get huge paychecks and are still

404
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: going to get huge maybe more so.

405
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: How much do you really trust Alec Pierce point?

406
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: I mean, look, you sitting here, we just read down

407
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: the resume of DJ Moore. Not much more he could

408
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 2: have done, you know in his NFL career.

409
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: Don't think Brandon Bean didn't know exactly what Alec Pierce

410
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: is looking for.

411
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely no.

412
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, because they is a free agent, they can

413
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: call they can call his repisent say what do you

414
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: guys think and what have you heard? What's going on?

415
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: And if that conversation goes in directions like that takes

416
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: you out of it.

417
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: And the way those dominoes fall when it comes to

418
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: free agency. If Alec Pierce ends up being the highest

419
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: paid guy and it's substantially more than what DJ Moore

420
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: is gonna.

421
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: Get, get, those dominoes fall.

422
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: Number two is gonna get probably more than DJ as well,

423
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: and three.

424
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: It. The thing that will surprise me is if Alec

425
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: Pierce comes back or one of these other shiny guys

426
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: on the on the shelf come back and they're getting

427
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, ten million a year. Wow, that's a different

428
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: then then it's like then it's a different conversation.

429
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: But brandons all that.

430
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: I would think I'd be surprised if that happens. Alec

431
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Pierce is gonna get paid at least what DJ Horse

432
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: getting from the Bills, and I don't know that you

433
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: could finagle it that you're gonna save the get down

434
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: below seven million dollars in a cap hit this year.

435
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: If they indeed do renegotiate that, it's gonna be interesting

436
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: to see. I'm uh, this is okay. Here we are

437
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: in the off season. I mean the Bills aren't even

438
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: cap compliant yet.

439
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: No, but I mean that's gonna be coming soon. I

440
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,959
Speaker 2: mean the moves have to happen real soon. Yeah, I mean,

441
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: I mean we're literally this may be the Look. I

442
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: don't even know what day of the week it is, Thursday.

443
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: Thursday, It may be this is the fifth they got

444
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: to get compliant by what is it? When is it

445
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: the eleventh?

446
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 3: Eleventh? Eleventh is the start of the official start of

447
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: the league year.

448
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: This may be. It may be that we'll get some

449
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: some simultaneous announcements. When they announced the DJ Moore trade,

450
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: they'll also announce some restructurings. Maybe yeah, I mean, I

451
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: don't know.

452
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: You're thinking it'll probably lead up to it.

453
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: We're waiting waiting to hear. Maybe we don't hear. Maybe

454
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: Joe Brady's telling him never to announce it. That's his

455
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: new that's our ement, head coach. We don't announce any

456
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: cap deals. You're gonna have to look online to find

457
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: out our cap numbers. We're not telling you about any restructures.

458
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, Maybe they won't.

459
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: It's a swing though they look they took a swing.

460
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 2: DJ Moore is a swing and I love it.

461
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: There's gonna be and Bill's fans gotta you gotta gotta

462
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: be ready, you gotta buckle it up because there's you're

463
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be. Some people are like, wow, love this move.

464
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: This is a smart move. The guy's there, he's available,

465
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: he's just got that. That I all that. And then

466
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: other people people going, you're giving all these guarantees to

467
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: a guy that's twenty nine years old, gonna be twenty

468
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: nine in in a couple of in a month, and

469
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna get crushed for it. It's gonna get both

470
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: those You gint both sides of that sword.

471
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: I have already looking forward to Fisher now.

472
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, I like when the st John when it

473
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: when it became, when they became a Fisher, I'm like, oh, man, Fisher,

474
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: that's a little more juice there. We get down to

475
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 2: Fisher and they start working out, the training camp rolls around.

476
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: It's like, man, what a juicy storyline. H dj Moore is.

477
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: When we actually get to see him out there going

478
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: up against the defense with Josh Allen.

479
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 3: Throwing them the ball, I'm like, man, so get me

480
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 3: the Fisher now.

481
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: So Buffalo gets DJ Moore in a twenty and this

482
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: year's fifth round pick of Chicago. Chicago gets Buffalo's sixtieth

483
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: pick overall, and that.

484
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: Fifth round er is raderrou On one sixty is that

485
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: run sixty four?

486
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: I be?

487
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 1: I mean just double check. So yes, one sixty outside

488
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: the Bills picked twenty six, ninety one won twenty six,

489
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: and now the one sixty four pick the ones they

490
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: have their own one sixty seven pick. Then they have

491
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: the Jets two thousand and two and nineteenth pick, and

492
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: they get Dallas' two hundred and twenty seventh pick. So

493
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: they've got uh yeah, two picks inside the top one

494
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: hundred one twenty six, one sixty four, one sixty seven.

495
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: Right there's the right there that one twenty six, one

496
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: sixty four, one sixty seven. They'll get somebody in this.

497
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and maybe not all three of them, but

498
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna hit on one of those guys, I bet.

499
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 3: And and being always he is, he's good.

500
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: He hits in that that that round they got five

501
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: to six right in there, they got a four and

502
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 2: two fives yep, and that he is shown he has

503
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: a track record of hitting on those guys. So you

504
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 2: hinted on it a little bit, and I think it

505
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: was a really good point. There are gonna be some

506
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 2: players now that are that the Bills have on this roster,

507
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: much like the Bears have with DJ Moore, where it

508
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: just doesn't fit anymore. Just I mean, whether it's a

509
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: defensive piece that just doesn't fit anymore with Jim Leonard

510
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: and the way he wants to run the defense. So

511
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: we could see maybe one of those guys that's valuable

512
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: still it can still play, that gets traded out for

513
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: a draft pick that comes back in return. So that

514
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: just because those are the draft picks they have now,

515
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: that could change quickly in the next.

516
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: Who knows where how it'll work out and what the

517
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: conversations are I think we're finding out in this day

518
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: and age. It used to never you never knew, and

519
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: because it was never publicized, nobody was interested in it either.

520
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: But nowadays with social media and all the clubs have

521
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: their own like us, that's media wing within the building,

522
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: you're starting to realize the phone is off, the hook

523
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: is on. They're on the phone. All every general managers

524
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: on the phone all the time with every other general manager.

525
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: They talk all the time. I didn't realize it was

526
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: such a free flow of ideas between gms and so

527
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: until we started going to the combine and we started

528
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: catching these guys. You know, you walk around and it's

529
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: Less Sneaed and Brandon Beaner standing there. It's Bucks having

530
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: whispery yeah, and I'm you know yeah, and nothing ever happens.

531
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: You don't never see a deal between Less Sneed and

532
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: Brandon bean But it's like those guys are talking. Yeah.

533
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: So that's the fun part of this whole era that

534
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: we're in a is you know, you realize how much

535
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: free flow of stuff there is across across the world.

536
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: That's why I always love when you hear a GM say, well,

537
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 2: we're not actively shopping that player, we're not making calls.

538
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: You don't have to make calls, right because you can

539
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: get incoming calls.

540
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: Well, it was funny because when this trade got come out,

541
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break right in here in

542
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: a minute. But this trade was floated out there and

543
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: now I can't even remember the GM of the Chicago

544
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Bears name. What's his name? Hold on, I'll see if

545

Speaker 1: Josh sitting in for Brownie this week. We'd like to

559
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: introduce a friend of the show. He is the sideline

560
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: reporter for the Chicago Bears. He's a former NFL fullback,

561
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: Jason McKee. Thanks for joining us, Jason, appreciate you. You said,

562
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: and we were talking just off the air, and when

563
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: you read in the run up and the and the

564
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: aftermath of this trade between the Chicago Bears and the

565
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, the Bears fans kind of saw it writing

566
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: on the wall as far as DJ Moore was concerned. Uh,

567
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: just give us your take on you know, how obvious

568
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: this trade was gonna be for somebody, not just the

569
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills.

570
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

571
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 6: I think when you look at the cap number that

572
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 6: DJ had this year, and obviously the Bear's trying to

573
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 6: get under the cap, you know. Now even more so

574
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 6: with the retiring of Drew Dollman added more holes to

575
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 6: this to this team in particular, So you know, Ryan

576
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 6: Poles and company trying to.

577
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: Find ways to get under that cap, to add more.

578
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 6: Pieces and to fill as many holes as they can

579
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 6: in free agency, and you know you can't fill all

580
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 6: the holes via the draft. So you lose a veteran

581
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 6: receiver that was very productive, a guy that was well

582
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 6: liked in the locker room, a guy who made a

583
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,479
Speaker 6: ton of plays, you know, on the Chicago Bears football

584
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 6: team in particularly this year, but throughout us throughout its

585
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 6: entirety since he was in the Bears uniform. So it's

586
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 6: bittersweet because he was a guy that did a lot

587
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 6: of things. He was really really good in terms of

588
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 6: run blocking in the run game with the run scheme

589
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 6: that Ben Johnson implemented this year.

590
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 4: DJ was a vital part of that. So we lose

591
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 4: all of that.

592
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 6: And to say that Buffalo games all of that, you

593
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 6: get a receiver that's tough, that's physical.

594
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: A guy who has familiarity with Joe Brady.

595
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 6: During the time with the Carolina Panthers, Joe Brady was

596
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 6: to see there for two years with DJ Moore, who

597
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 6: during both of those years went for over eleven hundred

598
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 6: yards so you know, Josh Allen and company get a

599
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 6: nice weapon with DJ Moore added to the mix.

600
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: Jason, one of the big concerns I can already hear

601
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: it now from the fan base is he's going to

602
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: be twenty nine years old before the start of the season.

603
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: You know, you look at you know, when you go

604
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: down and look at his production over the years, last

605
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: season probably is the one that stands out the most

606
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: because of his lack of production last season. So what's

607
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: left in the tank for DJ Moore? And should the

608
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: age be a concern?

609
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 6: I don't think he should be a concern. He played

610
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 6: in every game this year. He's tough, He's played hurt,

611
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 6: you know, a ton throughout his career, especially here in Chicago.

612
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 6: And I think to dipping the numbers we saw last

613
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 6: year with the Bears was because you had to emergency

614
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 6: of a lot of you players. You can talk about

615
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 6: Colston Lovelin, Luther Burn, Romo Dunes. They come out came

616
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 6: out the gates strong of this season with the Chicago Bears.

617
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 6: And Ben Johnson's a guy who you know doesn't really

618
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 6: necessarily have a number one receiver. His route concepts is

619
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 6: based upon what the defense is giving him, and he

620
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 6: loves to spread the ball around. So I think that's

621
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 6: why you saw the dipping production from DJ Moore. But

622
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 6: when he was a true bona fide number one receiver,

623
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 6: just like his days in Carolina, he produced and he

624
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 6: produced those big numbers, you know, under Joe Brady. So

625
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 6: it'll be interesting to see, you know, how the Bills

626
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 6: and you guys utilize him. But I think there's plenty

627
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 6: of meat left on the bone in DJ Moore's career.

628
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: No, you stand on the sidelines to watch these Bears

629
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: teams play, how have they and it seems like, you know,

630
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: we're here in Buffalo, so we're following the Bills. But

631
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: the Bears, you know, you kind of kind of give

632
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: him the side. I check on him once a while.

633
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams in particular, they evolved pretty quickly this year, right,

634
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Caleb Williams became what looks to be a

635
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: guy who's going to be there for quite some time.

636
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: This is no, there's the question marks have been answered, correct.

637
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 6: Correct, Yeah, And this team has really taken on the

638
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 6: identity of their head coach, Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson, obviously,

639
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 6: we see how he is and how he interacts with

640
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 6: other coach He's the ultimate confident coach because he puts

641
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 6: in the work and he does not let any detail slip.

642
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 6: The preparation is at in a mental level, and he's

643
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 6: instilled that in this team. And not only that, this

644
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 6: team has a strong belief, a belief amongst themselves, a

645
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 6: belief in his coaching staff, and they had a belief

646
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 6: that they can win in any game.

647
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 4: Last year we saw that time and time again.

648
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 6: This team was down seven times under two minutes left

649
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 6: in the game and came out on top.

650
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 4: So when you have that recipe, we have that belief.

651
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 6: When you have a coach that's been able to embed

652
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 6: a culture throughout the locker room and those players uphold

653
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 6: that culture, where you get the results that the Bears

654
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 6: had this year.

655
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: Look, Bill's fans have been thirsty for any type of

656
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: wide receiver news and they get it here with Dj Moore.

657
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 2: So we kind of know the temperature in the room

658
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: here after the trade. What is the temperature in the

659
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: room amongst Chicago Bears fans knowing that they're getting back

660
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: the sixtieth pick for DJ Moore.

661
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 6: I think it's a bittersweet because there's a lot of fans. Right,

662
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 6: DJ was well liked in the community, It was well

663
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 6: liked in the locker room. He made like I said before,

664
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 6: he made a lot of tough plays. And I think

665
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 6: when you look at a Chicago Bears receiver, right, it

666
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 6: was said a long time ago and one of my

667
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 6: former teammates said that Chicago is where receivers go to die.

668
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 6: And I think when you look at DJ Moore's career,

669
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 6: you look at some of the receivers that have come

670
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 6: before DJ. You talked about Alshon, Jeffrey, Brandon Marshall, that's

671
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 6: not the case. And DJ Moore is a true blue

672
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 6: collar receiver. He's not a typical Prima Donna receiver to

673
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 6: where he's not trying to.

674
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: Get his jersey dirty. He's going to go in there

675
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 4: and go in there and make blocks and legan on

676
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 4: the linebacker.

677
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 6: If it's called for, he's gonna make that tough, contested,

678
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 6: physical catch.

679
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 4: Over the middle of a defense.

680
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 6: And then he can make those deep, big molst of

681
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 6: players that we saw him make here in Chicago, you know,

682
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 6: in critical moments. So you know, like I said before,

683
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 6: Buffalo's getting complete receiver. You're getting a tough receiver. A

684
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 6: guy who's a true football player. I mean Ben Johnson

685
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 6: even utilized him in the backfield last year as well.

686
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 6: So you're getting a nice weapon to go along with

687
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 6: that great quarterback that you guys have there by the

688
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 6: name of Josh Allen.

689
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because Caleb Williams he'll pull off a

690
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen type play pretty regularly, right, I mean they

691
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: do stuff that you don't think anybody else, nobody else

692
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: will do, right, And Caleb Williams has that in his game.

693
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: In fact, you know that you're right, they're down at

694
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: the two minute warning in seven games this year. Come

695
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: out and win those games. That's big. How does how

696
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: does Johnson, you know, your head coach, incorporate that into philosophy? Right?

697
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: How do you get that last two minutes where you're down?

698
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: How do you do that in the first quarter, second quarter?

699
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? How's that offense going to

700
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: evolve with a quarterback and the unique skill set that

701
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams has, kind of like Josh Allen here in Buffalo?

702
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think now, you know, with Caleb, you know

703
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 6: being you know, look at Caleb, right, first two years,

704
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 6: two offenses, a bunch of head coaches instability. Well, now

705
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 6: you have a guy you know that's going to be here,

706
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 6: you know for a while in Chicago, guy who has

707
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 6: a good track record in terms of putting together a

708
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 6: productive offense and it started throughout his days in Detroit

709
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 6: and he brings that here in Chicago. So you have

710
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 6: a guy, you have some stability, and now Caleb can

711
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 6: build upon what he did last year. And Ben Johnson,

712
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 6: I think, you know, the Bears are just scratching the

713
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 6: surface of how dynamic this offense can be because you know,

714
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 6: in year two, guys are gonna be more more comfortable.

715
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 6: And now Ben can add more layers on this offense.

716
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 6: And they got a ton of young playmakers, you know,

717
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 6: on the perimeter for Caleb to distribute at football too.

718
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 6: So you lose DJ, you lose a veteran presence in

719
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 6: that wide receiver locker room, but you got guys like

720
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 6: Luther Burton, the emergence of Coaston Loveland, John ay Walker obviously,

721
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 6: Roma dunees that you have a ton of weapons at

722
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 6: the disposal for Caleb Williams. And then Caleb is a

723
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 6: weapon himself, like you mentioned Steve, with the amount of

724
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 6: ways that he can get out of the pockets, right,

725
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 6: put it like, put a lot of put a lot

726
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 6: of a lot of stress. You don't a lot of

727
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 6: quarterbacks can't make in this league. And he and he

728
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 6: put that on display time and time again. So you know,

729
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 6: I think the error is still pointing up even despite

730
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 6: the departure of DJ Moore. But he's definitely a guy

731
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 6: that's going to be missed in the Chicago community, among

732
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 6: the fan base and in that locker room.

733
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: Look like a lot of people out there, I'm a

734
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 2: fantasy football a lot of people out there. What's what's

735
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 2: the loss of DJ Moore? Mean the impact? You know,

736
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: how's that spread out now.

737
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 3: To the rest of the wide receivers.

738
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's just target volumes go up.

739
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 6: You know, I think you know it's it's going to

740
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 6: be spread out with Ben Johnson because you know, he

741
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 6: said it in a press conference this year. He doesn't

742
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 6: go into a game plan saying that, hey, I have

743
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 6: to get this particular player eight targets. Right, He's gonna

744
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 6: spread that football around. That ball is going to go

745
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 6: to where that you know, the average dictates, and you

746
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 6: know it could be you know, coast and leveln can

747
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 6: have the hot hand. Luther Burden can have the hot

748
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 6: hot hand one week. You know, Romo Dunes, they can

749
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 6: have the hot hand one week. If Cole Comet is

750
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 6: back and forth, he could have a hot hand one week.

751
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 6: So I think when you're making defenses, defend every blade

752
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 6: of grass, right, and the complexity of an offense that

753
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 6: Ben Johnson instills, it makes it difficult.

754
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 4: But hey, productivity follows that.

755
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 6: So it's been exciting to see and it's gonna be

756
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 6: also exciting to see how that continues to grow throughout,

757
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 6: you know, this season and throughout training camp and what

758
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 6: they can put on display next year.

759
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 3: Sounds like everybody eats that's right. Yeah, sounds like someth

760
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: Weaver heard a lot.

761
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: That's right. We so give us an idea. So now

762
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: the Bears have freed up, like you said, a ton

763
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: of cap space. They got some young white out so

764
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: that they're probably gonna lean into for their young quarterback.

765
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: What's it looked like for this What are the holes

766
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: they gotta fill? I know Tremaine Edmonds has been asked

767
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: he can go seek a trade that if they release

768
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: him post June one, that'll free up a lot more space.

769
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: What are they going to do in free agency in

770
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: the draft.

771
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of holes now, right, And you just

772
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 6: added a big hole right in the middle of your

773
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 6: offense with Drew Dalmond retiring. Right, the center and quarterback

774
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 6: have synergy, right, they're responsible for a lot of things.

775
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 6: Center obviously making a lot of the calls that that

776
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 6: designates and sets the pass protection right, but also in

777
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 6: the run game him being able to get everybody on

778
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 6: the same page.

779
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 4: And so that's a.

780
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 6: Big hole in a big boy left by the retirement

781
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 6: of Drew Dolmen. But you had another hole with with

782
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 6: Ozzie Trapilo that their rookie left tackle being hurt, who

783
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 6: was just coming into his own and slow to find

784
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 6: that left tackle position. You got to decide what you're

785
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 6: gonna do with safety. You got Kevin Byrd and Jakwan Brisker.

786
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 6: What are you gonna do there? You mentioned Treman Edwards,

787
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 6: a linebacker.

788
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 5: T J.

789
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 6: Edwards is the linebacker they got hurt at the end

790
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 6: of the season. So you have holes there. So it's

791
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 6: going to be an urging to see what the Bears do.

792
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 6: Also defensive line, you know, the talk has been Max Crosby,

793
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 6: what are you going to do?

794
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 4: To try to create pressure and get pressure on a quarterback.

795
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 6: So there's a lot of holes, you know, on this Bears,

796
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 6: on this Bears team right now to be interesting to see,

797
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 6: you know, what Ryan Poles does and what direction he

798
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 6: goes in with with this new amount of caps space

799
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 6: he's created, you know, with the trade of DJ and

800
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 6: the retiring of Drew Doome.

801
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 2: Jason, give me a little bit more on Tremaine Edmonds,

802
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 2: right because when his contract came up here in Buffalo,

803
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: that was a big topic of conversation because they've spent

804
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 2: a high first round draft pick on him.

805
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: He played well, he was.

806
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: Never just kind of never really turned that corner where

807
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: he was an elite dominant player, so they.

808
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: Let him go.

809
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 2: What was what were the last few years for Tremaine

810
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: like in Chicago?

811
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say it was up and down.

812
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 6: I would say his first year, you know, he made

813
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 6: a ton of plays, but then he didn't make a

814
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 6: lot of plays, missed some tackles. I know that was

815
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 6: an area of concern last year as well, missed some

816
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 6: games due to injury, but also made a lot of plays.

817
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 6: So I think it's up and down, and I think

818
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 6: with the Bears they're looking at, you know, that cap

819
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 6: number as well and the productivity that they can get

820
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 6: or possibly bringing somebody else that's cheaper, or you have

821
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 6: a coaching staff that did a really good job of

822
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 6: developing players. And you know, this year, I think the

823
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 6: Bears success was really predicated on next man up. So

824
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 6: there was a lot of times that in particularly these

825
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 6: linebackers are out of the lineup, Terraine, you know, Treine

826
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 6: Edmonds himself was out of the lineup, and you're bringing

827
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 6: a guy like DeMarco Jackson comes in and has a

828
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 6: double digit tackle game, and that.

829
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 4: Goes for a lot of the positions on this Bears team.

830
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 6: Guys stepped up because the coaching staff did a good

831
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 6: job of making sure that they were developed and prepared

832
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 6: to seize that opportunity when it presented itself.

833
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 4: So I think that's what the Bears are looking at.

834
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 6: They're looking at, Hey, his availability, his productivity weighed against

835
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 6: how much we're paying him and how much cap space

836
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 6: we can free up. So I think, you know, he

837
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 6: might be the next guy that could be on the

838
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 6: trade block.

839
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: Jason McKee side on, a reporter for the Bears on

840
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: their game day, Brood, thanks for joining us. Really appreciate you.

841
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 4: Now, thank you guys. You have a good day. I

842
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 4: appreciate it.

843
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break, Steve Tasker, Josh.

844
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: We will come back to discuss the DJ Moore trade

845
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills and more. Right after this, we're

846
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: presented by Clydehealth and you're listening to One Bill's Live.

847
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't back to One Bills Live. We're still chopping

848
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: up this DJ Moore trade from Chicago Bears. The Bills

849
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: give up the number sixty overall pick for a receiver

850
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: that's an eight year veteran has averaged over a thousand

851
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: yards over the last three seasons, including a down year

852
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: this last year, which gives a lot. I think that's

853
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: most of where the hot doubt comes from. He's about

854
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: to be twenty nine, and people are like going, I

855
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe he's on the bad end of it.

856
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: This from Dean on the tweet sheet. He says, good pickup,

857
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: renegotiate the contract. Now get Darnell Mooney better than fighting

858
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: a bidding war to get him. So he's got a

859
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: player he wants Darnell Mooney.

860
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: He's got another one.

861
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: There you go. Already locked and loaded. I get it

862
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: another one from David. He says, I'll take it. I'm

863
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: a little concerned with his numbers drop off last year,

864
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: That's what I mentioned, and some concerning play in a

865
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: playoff game, but he's an upgrade. This also gives them

866
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: flexibility in the first two rounds of the draft, well

867
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: first round of the draft, a wide receiver could still happen,

868
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: but they can focus on defense as well. How this

869
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: changes their philosophy, Well, this is kind of we're in

870
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: the midst of what they're trying to do. They always

871
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: tell them tell us they're trying to do, and we've

872
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: talked about it on the show. They're trying to get

873
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: to a point where they can take whatever player's best

874
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: at the twenty sixth spot, or until they traded the

875
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: sixtieth spot, the sixtieth spot, and now not only that spot,

876
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: but the one sixty fourth spot, in the sixty seventh

877
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: spot and all that. They're trying to get to a

878
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: spot where they can take the best player on the

879
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: board out of the college draft.

880
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 3: I like this tweet because I think part of that

881
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: that really sticks out.

882
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: To me is this is a upgrade. This is an upgrade,

883
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 2: and it is an upgrade. It is a significant upgrade.

884
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Like it just is how big the upgrade is we'll see,

885
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: but you'll see. But it's at face value, it's a

886
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 1: big upgrade. This is an older version of Steph Diggs

887
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: without the drama.

888
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 2: By the way, Darrnton Evans, the former Bill's running back,

889
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 2: he just put out on Twitter in case if you're

890
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 2: wondering what kind of guy and fit he'll be in

891
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: the locker room, Evans just tweeted out DJ was my

892
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: locker mate in Chicago. Will be a great addition to

893
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: the Buffalo locker room and community. Is personality fits right

894
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 2: in with Buffalo. Excited to see this one play out.

895
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: Let's go so yeah, And this from Clutch Gray the

896
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: DJ Moore trade as well. A lot of people upset

897
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: over the number two draft pick, this sixtieth overall that

898
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 1: being historically misses on. It'll be super excited next season

899
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: when more goes over on. Thy has twelve tds and

900
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: that fifth round pick turns into the next starting middle linebacker. Yeah,

901
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: that would all be great.

902
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 3: Good for you, Clutch, good stuff is right, that's so good.

903
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you have people out there pounding the table

904
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: for any sort of move at a wide receiver edition

905
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: and then it happens, and then the switch gets flipped

906
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: to you gave up what you're paying him, what you

907
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 2: did what, And it's like, that's the reality of it.

908
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 2: I mean he, I mean, he's he's your number one

909
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: wide receiver. You need a number one wide receiver. He

910
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: is the number one wide receiver.

911
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: He'll, he'll Khalil Shakir will be greatly helped by this.

912
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: Kincaid will be helped by this.

913
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 2: At twenty six, you were not getting this talent immediately, Like, look,

914
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: you might have gotten somebody at twenty six that would

915
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: have been this two years down the road, three years

916
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 2: down the road. DJ Moore walks in and is the

917
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 2: top target.

918
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: And when he came in. When he came in, he

919
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: was a twenty fourth pick and that was a twenty

920
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: eighteen draft, same draft as Josh and has been productive.

921
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: He think about this. Two different teams gave him a

922
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: second contract, Two different teams wanted that guy to stick around.

923
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: Carolina signed him to an extension, and then they wanted

924
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: to trade up with Chicago and they wanted a quarter

925
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: they wanted they wanted to get a quarterback. It was

926
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: the Bryce Young Draft twenty twenty three, and Chicago said, yeah,

927
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: but we'll take we want DJ Moore, And they did it,

928
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: and Chicago traded for DJ Moore exactly like the Bills

929
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: are four years ago or three years ago, same big con.

930
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: He had a big contract then. Yeah, he had signed

931
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: a second contract in Chicago said give give him us, Yeah,

932
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: give him to us, and they did to get the

933
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 1: number one overall pick, Carolina, let him go. The Bills

934
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: are doing the exact same thing for the guy. Uh,

935
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: let us have him. We'll take him in the contract.

936
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: We think he's that good. Says a lot about DJ Moore.

937
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: We'll see. It's it's a little bit to live up to, right,

938
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: Sure of course it is. I we'll see.

939
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 3: It helps when you have Josh Allen as your quarterback.

940
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's you know, some of these you can't

941
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: please everybody, and nobody ever wants so there are some

942
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: people who don't want to be pleased. But yeah, this

943
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 1: is uh, this is a move. A lot of people

944
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: have been pounding the table for you can you can

945
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: insert a different name here, your favorite team, your favorite player,

946
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: a different name. It's been reported as well that the

947
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: Bills were also inquiring and Alex Pierce and some others,

948
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: AJ Brown and Alec Pierce. So Alex Pierce a free agent.

949
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: AJ Brown was a trade partner with Philly, and this

950
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: is the guy they they landed on. AJ Brown's reputation

951
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: is different than DJ Moore's and.

952
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 2: Walter Payton and the Walterton Man of the Year versus

953
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 2: a guy who's reading a book in the middle of

954
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 2: the game on the on the bench.

955
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: So they made their call here and here they sit.

956
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: DJ Moore now going to be a Buffalo Bill. This

957
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: is really interesting how this came down. We've seen it.

958
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: I thought they would get cap compliant before that they

959
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: traded for anybody like that, but they're not. So they're

960
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: going to do it later.

961
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: You can, I mean, I guess is the thought is

962
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 2: if if you were a little you know, concerned that

963
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 2: you'd lose them to another team, you know, you pull

964
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 2: that trigger now because you know the idea that well,

965
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: if they're shot, Because let's face it, the Bears weren't

966
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 2: just shopping him to the Bills, right.

967
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 3: I mean, he was available to thirty one other teams.

968
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure of that. So then if you're the Bills,

969
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 3: and you're going, well, if we don't act now, DJ

970
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 3: Moore could end up in New England, right with a

971
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 3: team that's got a ton of cap space and a

972
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 3: team that all of a sudden it doesn't have stuff

973
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 3: on digs anymore, in a team that could be in

974
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 3: the market for a wide receiver. And you know, imagine

975
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: that played out that way.

976
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 2: You find out that the Bills waited a little too long.

977
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: DJ Moore ends up in New England and the same

978
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 2: fans that are going.

979
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,240
Speaker 3: You gave up what would have been going? Why didn't

980
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 3: you give up?

981
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah, that's just that's the way it goes.

982
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: That's the nature of the business. And everybody's got their favorites.

983
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: And some people will love this and some people will

984
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: hate it. Some people will stay silent until they see

985
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: how it's going to turn out, and then they will

986
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: confirm that that's exactly the way they thought it was

987
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: gonna go, which is.

988
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 2: What I do and listen, listen, And that's fair to

989
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: do to not have some scorch earth take one way

990
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: or the other, and to be able to like, hey,

991
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stand here in the middle of the ground

992
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: and just watch how plays I thought it was interesting

993
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 2: we had the Bills or Bear sideline guy on there

994
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 2: just in the last block. We asked him about age

995
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: and if you thought it was concern he was like

996
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 2: absolutely not.

997
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not. Yeah. The Bears, which is the guy,

998
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: thought that that DJ Moore's got a lot of gas

999
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: in the tank. He says, really can play and he

1000
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: is a tough guy. See he's available. He did play

1001
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: injured at points during his career, but uh, the guy

1002
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: is always available. And that's big, particularly given the you know,

1003
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: the fiasco with injuries the Bills had last year, so

1004
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: with their receiving room no less, so that that was

1005
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: kind of good to hear. We're gonna take a break, uh,

1006
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: and when we come back and during the two o'clock hour,

1007
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Bruce Feldman on. He's a college football

1008
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,640

Speaker 1: will remember this. This is the guy that puts out

1011
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: the freaks list. The guys that he thinks going into

1012
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 1: the combine are gonna like absolutely eye pop with their testing,

1013
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: their their speed, their strength, their vertical all of that stuff.

1014
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman. Coming up after the break, Steve Tasker Josh

Speaker 1: Reid here with you on One Bill's Live presented by Clydahealth.

1016
00:49:51,560 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: Stay with us this One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

1017
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One of Bill's Lives. To Tasking Josh

1018
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: me Philman for Brownie. This week, lots going on. The

1019
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: Bill's traded for DJ Moore, wide receiver from the Chicago Bears.

1020
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: Eight year veteran. It's been a productive player in both Carolina,

1021
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: where he began his career and in the Chicago. He

1022
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: has gotten a thousand yards for both those teams. Two

1023
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: years ago in twenty twenty three, had thirteen hundred yards

1024
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears. This last year he only had

1025
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: fifty catches. Were in the two years before that he

1026
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: had ninety three catches and ninety eight catches. So he's

1027
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: been productive recently, although this last year was a down year,

1028
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: no question about it. We had the sideline reporter for

1029
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears and the radio broadcast, Jason McKee on

1030
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: with us in the last segment and he said, now,

1031
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: a lot of it was because of the new young

1032
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: players they got on the roster who were emerging and

1033
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: of course with Ben Johnson new head coach, they were

1034
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: spreading the football around. But he said he had nothing

1035
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: but love and respect for Dj Moore and thought he

1036
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: has a lot of good football left in him.

1037
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1038
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: Good to hear.

1039
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, it's great to hear, because I think that's

1040
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: when you pull up his stats and look at you know,

1041
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: kind of the way he's produced.

1042
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 3: It's pretty top end heavy.

1043
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 2: You know, you start to see the last two years

1044
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: and you go, oh, there's a little dip there is

1045
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: that are concerned, but you know it sounds like it.

1046
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be.

1047
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 2: You know, well, according to a guy who's on their

1048
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 2: sideline every game, I mean, he's like, look it.

1049
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: If if you thought last year was a dip for

1050
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, he would have been the leading receiver on

1051
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: the Bills by a long shot.

1052
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 3: And well, there you go. If it's an upgrade just

1053
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 3: last year, but.

1054
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: Two years ago he would have Two years ago, he

1055
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: would have this last year, he would have been number

1056
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: two behind Khalil Shakir with the numbers he put up

1057
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: last year in Chicago. Two years ago, he would have

1058
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: been the best guy on the field for them, for

1059
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: the Bills, and he will be this year. Uh, be

1060
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I think he's going to be a big

1061
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: banking on him, Yeah, I think. Yeah. They're guaranteeing him

1062
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Yep. Uh, they are committing to

1063
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: him for the next two or three years at least,

1064
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: and his track record is one that he's the kind

1065
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: of human being you don't feel too bad, too much

1066
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: of a risk giving. It's you're gonna get everything he's got,

1067
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be a plus in every situation, not

1068
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: a minus. You're not gonna have guys in the huddle

1069
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: rolling their eyes at this guy. He's gonna be a

1070
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: huge plus cultural wise, in the locker room wise, and

1071
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: of course most importantly, should be on the field as well.

1072
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: So that's why you do what the Bills did today.

1073
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: You give up the twenty sixth overall pick.

1074
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 3: Well sixty, they give him sixtieth.

1075
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: They give up the sixtieth over sixty, not the twenty sixth.

1076
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: They gave the sixtieth overall pick for him, got a

1077
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: fifth back and really the big commitment for the Bills.

1078
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: The draft picks are what they are. It's hard to

1079
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: get excited about people. You never know what's it going

1080
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: to be sure, but it's the money. The money and

1081
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: the guarantees that are the real risk for the Bills

1082
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: salary caps. That's what you're risking. The draft picks are

1083
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: what they are. And I'm not an La ram here.

1084
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying forget those picks. I'm just saying, you

1085
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: don't know what those guys are gonna be in the

1086
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: commun you know, and they could be great. This is

1087
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: prett easy to say goodbye to say is this is

1088
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: a guy that he's got a track record, so the

1089
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: Bills have I'm I'm very much okay with this. I'm

1090
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: really I'm okay with it, particularly given the kind of

1091
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: guy he is and the fact that we've you know,

1092
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: got first hand testimony of the fact that the guy

1093
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: shows up every man. You look at his game. He

1094
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: hasn't missed a game in five years. Uh and even

1095
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: before that, he missed two games in his entire career.

1096
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: That's wild.

1097
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 2: It's really So they sit there, they have the twenty

1098
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: sixth overall pick still, then they have they gave up

1099
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 2: the second rounder, they have a third rounder, a fourth rounder,

1100
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: the Bear's fifth rounder now and the sixth, then a seventh.

1101
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 3: So yeah, one, two, three, four or five they have

1102
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 3: six picks now.

1103
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: Seven seven pack. Uh no, I'm sorry, I've got the

1104
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: wrong team up.

1105
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 3: You're right, I think they have six, right, they got

1106
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 3: six picks, six picks.

1107
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: Now they've got twenty six ninety one. They got seven

1108
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 1: twenty six, ninety one, one twenty six, one sixty four,

1109
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: one sixty seven to nineteen from the Jets and two

1110
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven from Dallas.

1111
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 3: That's I was missing that.

1112
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got to twenty seven from Dallas. So they

1113
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: got seven picks still two fifth rounders, no sixth so

1114
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: and no second that's uh yeah, it's a risk financially.

1115
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 3: It's not my money.

1116
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly what I was gonna say. That's it's not

1117
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: my name. I checked.

1118
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 3: Those zeros.

1119
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: It's disappointing when you see it. But yeah, I'm I'm

1120
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: good you're warming up to it. I can tell you're

1121
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:49,720
Speaker 1: getting there. I like what I hear about the guy. Yeah,

1122
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: one of the things that happened over the years. He's

1123
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: and this with it, and Bruce Feldman's coming on from

1124
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: uh the athletic in a in in this hour, in

1125
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. He's coming on and he's going

1126
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: to talk to us about his Freaks List, which is

1127
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: these college kids who are these freakish athletes and stuff,

1128
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: and talk about the draft this year and the college

1129
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: team's coming college player's coming out. And it always gets

1130
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: me when they get an insight into the players behind

1131
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 1: the scenes and they do these interviews, and this resonates

1132
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: with me. And I don't want to go off on

1133
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: a tangent here, but one of the questions I heard

1134
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: somebody ask one of these young guys coming out. They're

1135
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 1: sitting in this room with all these executives and coaches

1136
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: and stuff sitting around, and they go, Okay, what's your

1137
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: least favorite thing about football? And some of them don't

1138
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: have a it's off the walk. But nobody knows, right,

1139
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody can see that question sure, And it

1140
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: took the kid back and you didn't know what to

1141
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: answer and stuff. And I was sitting there putting myself

1142
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, I was a former player. I was put

1143
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: myself in there, and it was a tough question for me.

1144
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: What do you hate about football? Well, you don't like

1145
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: about football? What's your least favorite thing? And I sid

1146
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: it for a minute and then it came to me,

1147
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: you know what I hate most, and to this day,

1148
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: I still do and fans will know that. You know

1149
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: what I hate about football, Josh, bad teammates. Yeah, I mean,

1150
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: it's bad mamates. That's what you hate about the game.

1151
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: Everything else is great. It's bad teammates.

1152
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 2: And everybody everyone can relate to that, right If you

1153
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 2: have a coworker that you just don't like, it makes

1154
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 2: going into work a drag for everybody, everybody, And it's

1155
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 2: so yeah, I hate about points.

1156
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: So you get a guy like this and you're gonna

1157
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 1: risk all this money and this commitment in three years.

1158
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: The guy's got guarantees for a couple of years and

1159
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: he's been good. So if you knew you were gonna

1160
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: get what you have gotten from him in the future,

1161
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, okay, But what you don't want is

1162
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: you know a guy with the reputation of Steph Diggs

1163
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: or AJ Brown or Xavier Worthy. You know, the guy

1164
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: racing down this freeway in Dallas injuring people. You know,

1165
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: spare me those, spare me that drama. But if you

1166
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 1: give me a guy who's the Walter Payton Man of

1167
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: the Year for the Chicago Go Bears, the team that

1168
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: Walter Payton played for, Yeah, that's that's not as much

1169
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: of a risk for me. At least, you know, the

1170
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: guy's gonna show up. Yeah it sticks, he's not gonna

1171
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: he's not gonna oversleep. Yeah that's And maybe maybe those

1172
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 1: kids who don't know how, maybe a guy in your

1173
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: roster who doesn't know exactly how to do it, maybe

1174
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: he says, Okay, now I see how it's done. Maybe

1175
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: it does help. I don't know.

1176
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 3: Maybe there's a leadership aspect.

1177
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: But man's much easier for me to get my mind

1178
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: around this trade when I know all that stuff about

1179
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: DJ Moore than an otherwise would have been then than

1180
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: it would have been had they traded for a J. Brown.

1181
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: You know all of those guys, and you can go

1182
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: like you know Antonio Brown from years ago, you know,

1183
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean.

1184
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 2: I mean you talk about talent, think about you talk

1185
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 2: about TI. I mean he was there was a chunk

1186
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,959
Speaker 2: of six seven years where he was as talented as

1187
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 2: any wide receiver in the NFL.

1188
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 3: But he was also he was off the lusiest cannon.

1189
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 3: He's off his rocket of anybody. And we saw it

1190
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 3: when he left the game. Yeah, without his pads or

1191
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 3: shirt on, just walked off the field. It wasn't just walked,

1192
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 3: he kind of danced off the field. That's what you're

1193
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 3: looking at. That's the spectrum.

1194
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: And when you get a guy that's on the end

1195
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: of the spectrum where DJ Moore seems to be, it's

1196
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: a little easier to commit knowing his track record of

1197
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: giving everything he's got, playing hurt, being there, showing up

1198
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: and being productive.

1199
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, I like the trickle down effect that he's

1200
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 3: gonna have just on the field too. I mean, look,

1201
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 3: Khalil Shakier gets better now, gets better now.

1202
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 2: These guys all get better now because there's a DJ

1203
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,479
Speaker 2: Moore on the field with them.

1204
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 3: And I think, guess what, Josh Allen.

1205
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: Here's what it does. It gives your offense one more

1206
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: facet that's way better than it has been. It's a

1207
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: little bit you can explore that part of the field.

1208
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: You can explore that part of your offense. You can

1209
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: give yourself an extra choice on certain play concepts because

1210
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,439
Speaker 1: you do have a guy out there. That's what it does.

1211
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: It the offense. The scope of the offense broadens now

1212
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: and you can be and let's face it, this, this

1213
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: offense has been excellent.

1214
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a least Josh and issue.

1215
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: Right, it's been that way because of Josh, because of Khalil, secure,

1216
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: because it kink, because of James Cook.

1217
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 3: Because of stuff on going back.

1218
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, great, yeah, and Joe calling the plays. It's been

1219
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: really really good. Now it can be really really good

1220
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: even more in even more ways. Yeah, it it spells

1221
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: good things, you know, And obviously you envision this when

1222
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: everybody's a you know, one hundred percent healthy, one hundred

1223
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: percent available all the time. It may not be all

1224
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: that time, but that's that's where you sit, and that's

1225
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: that's why I'm I'm yeah that that changes the equation

1226
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: now at the office. That's our That's the first domino

1227
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: that that dropped right there.

1228
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 3: We got Bruce on the line.

Speaker 1: general things. Give us your take about the combine this

1237
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:25,439
Speaker 1: last week surprises not maybe not surprises, but what's what's

1238
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: your take on this entire class and the personality of

1239
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: what we're going to look at in this draft.

1240
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks for having me.

1241
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 4: Guys.

1242
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 5: First, I'll say this, I don't think this is a

1243
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 5: great draft. You know, obviously Mendoz is going to be

1244
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 5: the first pick in the HAF. It's obviously it's not

1245
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 5: a star driven draft. Right, It's not a deep quarterback class.

1246
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 5: Jeremiah of is a terrific running back. After that, I

1247
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 5: feel like it's pretty thin running back. But having said that,

1248
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 5: this was probably the fastest group we've seen because all

1249
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 5: the fast guys and I do the Freaks List every year.

1250
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 5: All those guys not only lived up to the hype,

1251
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 5: they exceeded it. The other part of it was some

1252
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 5: of the guys who probably didn't expect to run very well,

1253
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 5: like Jonah Coleman, for instance, is a really good running

1254
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 5: back at Washington, short yardage guy. I don't know if

1255
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 5: he's a high four to six guy. Even he was

1256
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 5: not expected to run. He didn't run. I'm not sure

1257
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 5: if he'll ever run. He'll be a good he'll be

1258
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 5: a good NFL running back though for the right team,

1259
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 5: and so I think a lot of guys who weren't expected,

1260
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 5: who weren't expecting to tear it up, they didn't, so

1261
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 5: that you only boosted the average up. And I think

1262
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 5: you saw it was crazy to me that you would

1263
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 5: have six safeties run four four zero or faster in

1264
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 5: the forty safeties, not corners. I mean, there were so

1265
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 5: many DB's, so many receivers who ran so fast, and

1266
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 5: obviously a couple of undersized tight ends. Eli Stowers from Bandy,

1267
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 5: the guy vertical jumped forty five and a half inches.

1268
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 5: Kenyan Sadig from Oregon, who's a little bigger, you know,

1269
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 5: three nine forty jumped well over jumped I think, you know,

1270
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 5: forty two inches or whatever. I mean, these are super

1271
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 5: explosive guys, but they're not like the gronk sized tight

1272
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 5: end or the traditional big inline blocker. I think they're

1273
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 5: guys who teams are gonna are going to be interested

1274
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 5: to say, hey, what can we do with him, you know,

1275
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 5: formationally as probably our second tight end or as a

1276
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 5: jumbo receiver, because I think there's just a lot of

1277
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 5: big time athletes in this group.

1278
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 2: Bruce the is there a family faster than the Styles family?

1279
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 3: I mean the numbers they put up. You're talking about speed.

1280
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean, holy, Sonny runs of the linebacker runs a

1281
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 2: four four six and he's slow because Lorenzo you talked

1282
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 2: about the speed and safety. Lorenzo what he runs like

1283
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 2: a four to two just a shade under forty.

1284
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 5: S for seven? Yeah. Crazy. The dad played in the NFL,

1285
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 5: you know, Sunny Styles with high up on our freaks

1286
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 5: because he's not just a linebacker. He's a six five,

1287
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 5: two hundred and forty four pounds linebacker. This isn't like

1288
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 5: you know, Kyle Lewis is a really good player at Pitt.

1289
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,439
Speaker 5: He's like five eleven and a half to twenty one

1290
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 5: or something. He's ran really good. This guy is much

1291
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 5: bigger and you would. I remember talking to him and

1292
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 5: he's like, yeah, my dad was doing stuff with us

1293
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 5: in terms of like agility and speed training. We we're

1294
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 5: like five and six years old. It paid off. So

1295
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 5: now they had the genetics, they had a lot of

1296
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 5: work to build up and he's a he's a really

1297
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 5: good football player. Sonny Styles. I mean he was a

1298
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 5: little overshadowed because he had Caleb Downs who's the best

1299
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,439
Speaker 5: safety in this draft. And he had RVL Reese, who's

1300
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 5: a linebacker, the off ball linebacker Slash Edge, who is

1301
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 5: you know, pretty much as fast, a touch, bigger, and

1302
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 5: definitely more of a physical, more violent player. He probably

1303
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 5: didn't jump quite as well, but also another elite athlete

1304
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 5: who really was a breakout player last year from at

1305
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 5: Patricia's defense at Ohio State.

1306
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: So we had this and obviously it was a fast

1307
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: combine and some of it was obviously because a lot

1308
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: of guys slow guys didn't run, I mean, why run, right,

1309
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: So some of that was pushed that way. But there

1310
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: is some rumblings, and you know, it affects me and

1311
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: Josh because we all go down to the combine, right

1312
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: every year. Is the combine changing? And if you and

1313
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: some people are predicting that it may not take place

1314
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: in the same form for much longer because of the

1315
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: player the nil The players are known commodities. None of

1316
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: them want to damage their their draft status. Do you

1317
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: think that combine might change or even go away?

1318
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 5: I hope not, because I still think there's a lot

1319
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 5: of things you can get out of it. You know,

1320
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 5: I from a networking thing, it's great for people like us.

1321
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 5: From another standpoint, I do think there's something to be

1322
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 5: said for what, you know, the medical piece that they

1323
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 5: can do and some of the information they can glean

1324
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 5: from that sort of thing. I also think there's something

1325
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:10,959
Speaker 5: to be said for seeing how guys respond to being

1326
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 5: on that stage around other elite athletes who are who

1327
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 5: are under this microscope. You know, we've seen plenty of

1328
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 5: guys who had great weeks in Indie who fizzled out

1329
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 5: in the NFL. Right, it's only a small portion of

1330
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 5: what makes football players special. Right, I think you can't

1331
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 5: tell too much. They're not in pads, right, it's a

1332
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 5: physical thing. I mean, I feel like we've seen so

1333
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 5: many instances obviously, like you know, Tom Brady, there's this

1334
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 5: famous photo of him from whatever it is twenty five

1335
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 5: years ago at the Combine where like Tom Brady's like

1336
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 5: the supermodel guy now, but found they took like the

1337
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 5: most awkward picture of him in that snapshot or whatever.

1338
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 5: And I feel like something it's like a baseline for

1339
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 5: people to look at. But obviously now there's way more

1340
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 5: metrics and different things where look at you know, at

1341
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 5: the forty times where you have all these GPS tracking

1342
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 5: data of guys in pads on the field to see

1343
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 5: what they they've done, which you get in the combine.

1344
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 5: And I think it's fascinating, is like there's so many

1345
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 5: whether it's the five ten five shuttle or these other

1346
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 5: you know, other el drills and different things where people

1347
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 5: are training for that for for you know, two months before,

1348
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 5: and you can see a big impact on it, you know,

1349
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 5: and it doesn't take away from what they're doing, but

1350
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 5: I do think there's something to be said for that.

1351
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 5: I remember having this receivers coach I talked to said,

1352
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 5: you know, I got an argument with on our scouts

1353
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 5: because I see on film what this receiver is that

1354
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 5: we took like in the middle rounds and it was

1355
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 5: like they are they're looking at his his five ten

1356
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 5: five and some of the shuttle numbers, and I'm like,

1357
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 5: that's not what I see on the field. And yet

1358
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 5: because he was like, I know, guys can train for that,

1359
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 5: and and so it's like, I guess beauty's in the

1360
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 5: EyeT of be holder. I mean, selfishly, I really like

1361
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 5: the combine. I think it's a you know, for all

1362
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 5: sorts of reasons, but I hope it doesn't go away.

1363
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 5: But I've heard rumblings of that for a while. I

1364
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 5: believe it when I see them.

1365
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Tom Brady picture.

1366
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure there's a Bills quarterback named Josh Allen

1367
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 2: that would not be just devastated if that forty video

1368
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 2: is just lost forever and goes away and never has

1369
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 2: never seen ever again.

1370
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 3: But when you when you, you.

1371
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: Know, obviously the Bills make the big trade for DJ

1372
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 2: Moore today. I have this list of wide receivers I

1373
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 2: was going to ask you about, but now it sure

1374
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 2: seems like they may trend away from that with their

1375
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 2: twenty six overall pick.

1376
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 3: Who knows, but are there some are there?

1377
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 2: Is there a quality depth at the wide receiver spot

1378
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 2: that when you look at round three, round four, round five,

1379
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 2: that maybe could fill a need still for the Bills.

1380
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 5: I think so. I think it's deeper than elite. To

1381
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 5: put it this way. You know, there's three guys I

1382
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 5: think a lot of people look at at the top.

1383
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 5: Carnell Tate from Ohio State. I think, you know, he's

1384
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 5: got good size, not great size, he's not super fast,

1385
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 5: he obviously didn't run that fast, and indie, but he's

1386
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 5: a really good football player Makaia Lemon who won the

1387
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 5: bullet Nikoff Award. He is compared to Amon Ra in

1388
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 5: part because of the USC thing, but he's a really

1389
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 5: physical receiver and really good in the slot and really

1390
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 5: good with the ball in his hands. And Jordan Tyson

1391
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 5: at Arizona State who's very talented too. But I think

1392
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 5: once you get past that, there's a bunch of receivers

1393
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:44,640
Speaker 5: who are really dynamic athletes played in different kinds of systems.

1394
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 5: I think there's going to be a handful of that

1395
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 5: we will find out in the NFL two years from now.

1396
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 5: Who are really productive third and fourth round guys who

1397
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 5: lit up the combine. And there's a guy who o

1398
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 5: Haud on my freaks list. Last summer, Ted Hurst, a

1399
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 5: small school guy at Georgia State, did really well at

1400
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 5: the Senior Bowl. Tested exceptionally well. He's big, He's six

1401
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 5: y threes like two hundred five pounds. He's a dynamic

1402
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 5: athlete and I don't know how far he slides. And

1403
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 5: when I say slides, it's not because anything negative. I

1404
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 5: just think, you know, because the Georgia State, I think

1405
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 5: that you know, does he get in the second round

1406
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 5: if he played at Georgia Tech instead at Georgia State

1407
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 5: or played in the SEC where he absolutely could have.

1408
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 5: I think he probably is a guy we're talking about

1409
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 5: in the first round because of his measurables. He's a

1410
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 5: really good football player, right, and so I'm excited to

1411
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 5: see what Dj does it in Buffalo at Josh Allen, right,

1412
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 5: you know, because he's really talented and I know guys

1413
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 5: who coached him, you know, receivers coaches there think really

1414
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 5: highly of him. And so you now you're going with,

1415
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 5: you know, arguably the most talented quarterback in the NFL,

1416
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 5: and they're not far away from from being a super

1417
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 5: Bowl team. So I'm fascinated to see how they, you know,

1418
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 5: how this how the pieces kind of come together, because

1419
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 5: he's he's a big time playmaker, and you know, I mean,

1420
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,560
Speaker 5: he's further along than anybody they could have drafted this

1421
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 5: year for sure.

1422
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: So the Bills traded for DJ Moore from the Chicago

1423
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: Bears today, So kind of that moves wide receiver at

1424
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: number twenty six in this draft kind of off the

1425
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: front burner for the Buffalo Bills, at least in our mind.

1426
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: So now I think the one thing that would come

1427
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: now the pan that's in the front burner now would

1428
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 1: probably be edge rusher. And this has been a draft

1429
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: where they said, yeah, there's some guys out there that

1430
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: can come off. It's a deep draft for safeties. It's

1431
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: a drift draft for linebackers and edge rushers as well.

1432
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: So the Bills are twenty six. A couple of questions,

1433
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: This is a kind of multi part question, right, how

1434
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 1: many edge guys go in the first round and what

1435
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,719
Speaker 1: kind of edge rusher can you get at the bottom

1436
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 1: of that round? Right, it's what are your thoughts on that?

1437
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I'm sheting now because I'm looking at

1438
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 5: your list that you have to the left side of

1439
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,919
Speaker 5: my face where it's like Ruben Bain, you know, dominant

1440
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 5: player at Miami. He's gonna be gone. R bel Reese

1441
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 5: will be gone in the first five picks. David Belly

1442
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 5: should be gone in the first five as well. After that, TJ.

1443
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 5: Parker from Clemson should still be there. Akeem Mezzador from Miami,

1444
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 5: the other edge rusher is a really good player, dynamic athlete.

1445
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 5: He's from Canada, started his career at West Virginia. I

1446
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 5: think he's a really good player. To me, Mezzador is

1447
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 5: gonna go. I feel like in that range, right, Casius

1448
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 5: Howel from Texas A and M is pretty twitchy. He's

1449
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 5: he's not as good as David Belly, but he's in

1450
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 5: that mold of a guy who's not supersized. But I

1451
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 5: think is is you know, smaller than Mesador. But it

1452
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 5: was a really good player at A and M. I

1453
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:51,639
Speaker 5: could see him in that range, you know, from there,

1454
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 5: you know, I think this is yeah, this is him now,

1455
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 5: like Mike Elko, there has had a lot of really

1456
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 5: good D lineman in a short amount of time. There

1457
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 5: was a guy you had up there who's different, and

1458
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 5: that's Keldric Fok from Auburn. Keldrick Falk's a much bigger guy.

1459
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 5: He's younger, he's six six plus two hundred and seventy

1460
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 5: plus pounds. He's really strong. He did not have a

1461
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 5: great year last year for Auburn because nobody did. The

1462
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 5: program was kind of spin its wheels with Hugh Freeze

1463
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 5: about to get fired. You know, people really liked him.

1464
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 5: The guys I talked to the D line coaches think

1465
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 5: there's a lot of potentially He's really strong. I think

1466
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 5: he vertical jumped thirty five inches but didn't do a

1467
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:34,600
Speaker 5: lot of the other testing. He's one that will be

1468
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 5: very interesting to see because I think that's a guy

1469
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,679
Speaker 5: a lot of coaches root for. And there's all it's

1470
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 5: what kind of system does he go to? Can you not?

1471
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 5: Can you get out? Can you get it out of him?

1472
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:46,719
Speaker 5: Like he doesn't love football or any of that stuff.

1473
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 5: I just think he's still developing and he'll be a

1474
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 5: really interesting player. Again, he's way different than the guy

1475
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 5: Cashiers Howl from Texas A and m He's you know,

1476
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 5: he's bigger than Mezzador. He's just you know, what, what

1477
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 5: is your d line coach? What does your defensive coordinator

1478
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 5: want there? I don't want to say. You know, Rousseau

1479
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 5: is young and long and you know when he got

1480
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 5: drafted out of Miami. But this guy's even stronger and

1481
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 5: a little a little different. He's somewhere. I hate to

1482
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,839
Speaker 5: compare him to Kalais Campbell because Kalais Campbell's a giant

1483
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 5: and he's played great for eighteen years. But he's an

1484
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,719
Speaker 5: interesting player. Again. I'd be curious what kind of NFL

1485
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 5: career is going to have because people really like him.

1486
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 5: Another wild card to keep an eye on is Zion

1487
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 5: Young from Missouri. D Line coaches I talked to in

1488
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 5: Indie like him more than I think the draft analysts do,

1489
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 5: and they thought his stock was really going to rise

1490
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 5: coming out of Indie, and it seems like it has some.

1491
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman, college football writer for The Athletic. He's also

1492
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 1: the author of the Freaks List Guys who really test

1493
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: out well at the Combine. Bruce, thanks for spending some

1494
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 1: time with us. Really appreciate it.

1495
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 5: What it was a pleasure, guys. Thank you for having me.

1496
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Good stuff for me mine these guys. I like hearing

1497
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 1: that because it gives you the idea that there's gonna

1498
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,639
Speaker 1: be something there that you're really gonna we're gonna Bills

1499
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: fans alike, and they'll be really productive well.

1500
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, he kind of confirms what

1501
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 3: we've heard a lot already.

1502
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 2: Is there's only really three top, top and potential elite

1503
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 2: wide receivers in this draft. Guys were all gonna be

1504
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 2: far gone by the time twenty six was gonna roll around,

1505
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 2: But there's quality depth at that position, and I think

1506
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 2: that that's kind of a good sign if you're hoping

1507
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 2: the Bills maybe follow up in the third round with

1508
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 2: a wide receiver.

1509
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: Right exactly. It kind of moves everything around. As we

1510
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: heard him talk going down the list of all these

1511
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be available as edge rushers. We didn't

1512
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: even have time to go into the defensive tackle or

1513
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: noseguard position, but yeah, there's some guys there. It's gonna

1514
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:52,679
Speaker 1: be fun to see. Steve Tasker Josh Reed, We're gonna

1515
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: come back and finish things up here to the top.

1516
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: To the top of the hour. You're listening to One

1517
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: Bills Live. We're presented by Kalida Health.

1518
01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 7: Stay with us, Welcome back in One Bill's Lives.

1519
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Detasker Josh Reed, we're hanging out talking about the Dj

1520
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: Moore trade of the Buffalo Bills. Bills gave up the

1521
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: number sixtieth pick of the draft. They got back the

1522
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: one sixty seventh pick and Dj Moore, I'm okay with it.

1523
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: The big give for the Bills is the commitment, which

1524
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: may or may not be worth it, as we've seen

1525
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 1: with other free agent signings in the particularly the wide

1526
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: receiver spot. So we'll have to sit and wait to

1527
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: see whether this trade was good or not. Like you

1528
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: always do. If the guy comes in hits a home run, obviously,

1529
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: but we've had people from Chicago the most, notably the

1530
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: sideline reporter Jason McKee on the show, and he had

1531
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: nothing but good things to say about DJ Moore, obviously

1532
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: as a person because of Walter Payton Award winner, but

1533
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 1: also for the fact that he thinks the guy can

1534
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: really play. Still, some people think going into it and

1535
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: it'll be as he'll be twenty nine this season when

1536
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: he plays for the Bills, they have doubts about I

1537
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 1: don't know how you've the commitment, Yes, is there, but

1538
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: some people are wishing they got Mike Evans, who's three

1539
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:28,799
Speaker 1: years four years older.

1540
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 3: Well. Then we had Bruce Feldman on just now and

1541
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 3: it's one of the things I thought was interesting that

1542
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 3: he said, you know, because this is a guy that's

1543
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 3: really locked into the draft, and he said, look, there's

1544
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 3: three elite wide receivers in this draft.

1545
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 1: You're not getting them.

1546
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 2: And he said the guy at twenty six is not

1547
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 2: going to be better than Djmore.

1548
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's right. That's a pretty large statement.

1549
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing too, and there's both two sides

1550
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 1: of that sword. He might not be as good as

1551
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: DJ Moore but he's going to be like tenth of

1552
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: the price. Yeah, maybe not a tenth, But you don't

1553
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 1: expect him to be well, actually that's not true. If

1554
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: he's the number one draft pick and you expect him

1555
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: to be DJ.

1556
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 2: Moore no matter what he car you need him to

1557
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 2: be no matter what he car in the progression of

1558
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 2: you know, your your window, if you.

1559
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: Will, that's true, you need him to be that guy.

1560
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: He would need to be that guy, and DJ Moore

1561
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: will be pretty I'm pretty confident. I'm pretty confident he's

1562
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: gonna be able to give you some good now. You know,

1563
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 1: it was the same thing. Von Miller was the same thing.

1564
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he came in and was killing it for

1565
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: eight games and then it was you know, there we go.

1566
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 1: Then you're stuck.

1567
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can't can't predict that, right, you can't

1568
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 3: do business.

1569
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't. You can't do it like that.

1570
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: So you can play percentages, and well.

1571
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 3: The percentages say, this guy doesn't get hurt.

1572
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: The guy never misses a game, He hasn't missed a

1573
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 1: game in five years. That's in this era or this

1574
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,679
Speaker 1: you know, in this little place we're at in Bill's history.

1575
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: That that's awesome. Yeah, right, they had like nine guys

1576
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: go through the roster because of injuries on and off

1577
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: the field last year. To have a guy who's gonna

1578
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,759
Speaker 1: line up there every week, that's that would be huge.

1579
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 2: I mean the investment is money, right, and that's yeah,

1580
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 2: money and money more so the money. If the money

1581
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 2: wasn't as big as it is, no one would have

1582
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 2: any issue with the sixtieth that's correct. I don't think

1583
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 2: that's correct. That's that's true. And look sure that's that's

1584
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 2: the gamble in that investment. But if you invest the

1585
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 2: twenty sixth overall pick, that's still a big investment in

1586
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 2: a wide receiver.

1587
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 3: It just is.

1588
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean, that's you're you know, you're you're counting on

1589
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 2: that dude to come in and be the dude. DJ

1590
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 2: Moore is going to come in and be the dude.

1591
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's true. That is true. It's well that

1592
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: that changes the conversation about what the roster build that

1593
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: has yet to be done.

1594
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, what are we gonna talk about for the

1595
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 3: next one?

1596
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 1: Are we gonna do for months? Right?

1597
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 5: No? More?

1598
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: Really? Receiver for me. When we talked to Bruce Feldman

1599
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: from the athletic just a couple of minutes ago. My

1600
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 1: first thought is, now, okay, now we're gonna talk edge, yes, rushers, back, outside, linebacker.

1601
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk nose tackle, safety and safety. I wouldn't

1602
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: be shocked if the Bills grabbed his safety in the

1603
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 1: at number twenty six. You're gonna be able to get

1604
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: a big, athletic guy at that spot at twenty six.

1605
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 2: Look, Caleb Downs is by far the best safety and

1606
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,839
Speaker 2: maybe maybe the best player in this draft.

1607
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,839
Speaker 3: But the second best safety is Dylan Theeneman from Oregon.

1608
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you right now, if you haven't

1609
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:45,839
Speaker 2: watched him play, that dude can flat out.

1610
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: I saw I saw a highlight, you know, and you

1611
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 1: see all kinds of stuff on social media, and some

1612
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: of it's he some of it's good, some of us not.

1613
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,719
Speaker 1: So this guy goes look at this play with Finnaman theeneman.

1614
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: So the kid they're lined up, he's deep safety. They

1615
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: run a they run a stretch play, running play off

1616
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: the right side of the offense, and he triggers and

1617
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: comes up into the formation and it literally looks like

1618
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: he's the guy said it on the in the in

1619
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 1: his tweet, it looks like he's making a play and

1620
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: everybody else looks like the whistle blue.

1621
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was moving at different speed.

1622
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: It was like a it was. It literally looked like

1623
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: a camera effect. It was the most it was. I

1624
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: had to watch it like four times to see it.

1625
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: He was unblocked to be because he came from He

1626
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,839
Speaker 1: came from a mile back, and when the ball was snapped,

1627
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: he saw it, saw the quarterback turn to stretch the

1628
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 1: ball out, and he triggered and he was there and

1629
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 1: made a tackle for loss after lining up twelve fourteen

1630
01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: yards deep. It was, and he was moving at fast

1631
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: forward and everybody else was half speed. It was. It

1632
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: was an amazing play on tape. And that's the kind

1633
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: of thing that catches your eye.

1634
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 3: Sure, the wow plays.

1635
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm I'm all about that. But on the

1636
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:16,640
Speaker 1: other hand, I know too, there are other needs and

1637
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 1: you're not gonna find or maybe you will. But I

1638
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: still think up high in the draft, you've got to

1639
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,759
Speaker 1: get somebody with some physical traits that you can't find

1640
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: in civilian life. You know, they got to be bigger, stronger, faster,

1641
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: They got to look like a pro athlete at the

1642
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: at the top and.

1643
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 3: There's some edge guys that in this draft that will

1644
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 3: be there.

1645
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to a nose I'm thinking nose tackle

1646
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 1: as well.

1647
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 2: Well, because you if it's a pure nose tackle, it's

1648
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 2: gonna be the number one If you take them at

1649
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 2: twenty six, it's gonna be the number one nose tackle

1650
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 2: in the draft.

1651
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 3: You're gonna have your pick.

1652
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 1: Maybe, I don't know. I don't know. I just think

1653
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 1: that's the case.

1654
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 2: I just think that there's so much emphasis now on

1655
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 2: versatility and position of flexibility. And you guys got you

1656
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,640
Speaker 2: got guys in college now lined up all across the

1657
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 2: defensive line to get it shrew over the center, like

1658
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 2: take just chewing up double teams, like just taking on

1659
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 2: everybody right, Like would you call him the stump?

1660
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 3: Ted Washington a couple of days ago, you got your

1661
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 3: stump is as hard.

1662
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 1: To move as an oak stump. Yeah, and you just

1663
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, you put two guys on him that it

1664
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: doesn't help. You're not moving them. Ted was like that,

1665
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 1: there have been another guy. There are guys in the

1666
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Like Curly Colp was like that. Vince

1667
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 1: will Fork was like that, there's some dudes in the

1668
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 1: history of the league that are different kind of cats.

1669
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 1: Ted Washington may have been one of one even amongst

1670
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: those guys. Now, one thing that and I talked about

1671
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: this all the time, Ted should be in the Hall

1672
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: of Fame consideration for the dominance that he showed. And

1673
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: his only problem was he'd never sacked the quarterback or

1674
01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: it didn't very much. And because of that Hall of

1675
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Fame voters like pooh pooh his contribution. The guy played

1676
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: for nineteen years and people were standing in line to

1677
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 1: have that guy play for them. He was a difference maker.

1678
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: But they're rare. He's rare. You get guys. This guy,

1679
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 1: Xavian Harris, just a name. He's like the number twelve

1680
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 1: guy on defensive tackles on a website that I'm looking at,

1681
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: Xaviing Harris. He's six', eight three hundred and thirty.

1682
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 2: Pounds That's dion that, right that's That's Dean. Walker yeah or, yeah,

1683
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 2: yeah it's just.

1684
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: Huge dion plays a little, high but you, know his

1685
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 1: pad levels too high to be a true nose tackle

1686
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:43,040
