00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live, presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: All right, here we be on a Thursday. Chris Brown,

3
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: Maddy clab In for Steve Tasker. Welcome, welcome, welcome, and uh,

4
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: we've got plenty of ground to cover today. There'll be

5
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: a little draft sprinkled in. There's some free agent news

6
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: around the NFL that we have to get to, and

7
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: we'll also be discussing a little bit about the upcoming

8
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: NFL schedule. Some people are already putting together they're rankings

9
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: of the best matchups coming up in twenty twenty three.

10
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: We don't know when they're happening. We know they are happening.

11
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: So that was enough to enough impetus to get people

12
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: to start putting rankings lists together, which everybody loves apparently,

13
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: So we'll cover that in due time as well. I

14
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: don't know, like I'm I'm excited about the schedule, don't

15
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: get me wrong, Maddy, but like it's just I want

16
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: to see when how are they all lining up? We

17
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: already know that it's going to be a tough schedule

18
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: in terms of strength the schedule. Oh yeah, for the

19
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: Bills this year.

20
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. I was on the phone with my dad

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: after the draft, and you know, from Chicago, so he's

22
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: a Bears fan and we're talking on the phone. He

23
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: was happy with the draft, but he's like, gosh, I'm

24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: looking at our schedule and your schedule, and the Bears

25
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: have a cake walk of a schedule compared to the Bills.

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: You guys have a really hard schedule this year. I'm saying, yeah,

27
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: I know, we do. I've been looking at it for

28
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: the last few months, just trying to prepare for everything.

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: And we're gonna do a schedule release show when the

30
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: schedule gets released to Chris Brown, and I'll be breaking

31
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: all the matchups down and the primetime games and all

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: of that. But yeah, you look at the opponents that

33
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: we have. You you think about the fact that there

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: are two Thursday night football games that can happen for

35
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: teams this year if you are chosen to be one

36
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: of those those teams, who who has those two Thursday

37
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: night games. And this team has a track record of

38
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: having the holiday games we've played on played on Thanksgiving

39
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: several years. Are we gonna be a Christmas Day game

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: this year? Are we gonna be a Black Friday game

41
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: this year? How many primetime games will there be, and

42
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: then within that you start to wonder, is it gonna

43
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: be the sundayta Thursday to Monday to Sunday to Thursday

44
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 3: to how all over the place are these dates gonna be?

45
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: Are the times gonna be? Because that's one thing. By

46
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: the by the time you get into the second half

47
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: of the Sea and your team like the Bills, and

48
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: you're just jumping all over the place and you never

49
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: feel like you're really in the groove of a normal routine,

50
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: it starts to get tiring. And you talk to the

51
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: players in the locker room and they would much of course,

52
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: they love to play on primetime, love they love the

53
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: eyes and the viewership and the atmosphere, but you also

54
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: kind of crave those one pm games, and this team

55
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: is just not a team that gets consistency at one

56
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: o'clock anymore.

57
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: No, And I would anticipate. I don't know if they're

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: gonna get six prime time games like they got last year,

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: but they're gonna get four or five, probably probably get

60
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: a handful again. And you know, you got the London

61
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: game also, so yeah, there's gonna be. And you have

62
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: what the AFC West this year, in addition to the

63
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: NFC East, so a couple of longer trips going out

64
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: west and then London the longest trip of mal So yeah,

65
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: it's it's it's going to be pretty daunting. But I

66
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: don't know that there are too many easy weeks in

67
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: the NFL per se as there seem to be in

68
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: other leagues. The parody is pretty widespread and the talent

69
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: is pretty evenly distributed, and really it's just quarterbacks and

70
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: a couple of other game changing players that kind of

71
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: tilt the scale sometimes each and every week. But we

72
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: see upsets every single week too, So I mean we're

73
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: only two years removed from the Bills of Jacksonville game,

74
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: which was riduculous, So yeah, I mean we all look

75
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: forward to it. The word is it's going to be

76
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: at least reports are it's going to be Thursday, May eleventh,

77
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: and the announcement of the London game in terms of

78
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: when it will take place and the opponent is scheduled

79
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: for Tuesday May ninth, so we'll know that one two

80
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: days prior to the full schedule release. So that's all

81
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: very exciting. On NFL dot com, they already put together

82
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: what they believe are the top ten games teams of

83
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three NFL regular Season, and the Bills

84
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: are on the list, and they picked Jets add Bills.

85
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: They don't know when it's happening, obviously, but it ranked

86
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: number three on their top ten. And obviously Aaron Rodgers

87
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: addition to the Jets roster has a lot to do

88
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 2: with this, and the fact that, you know, the two

89
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: teams last year split the season series. So I think

90
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people, particularly in New York,

91
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: that believe things will be different this year and that

92
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: you know, the Jets will have an even better chance

93
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: of beating the Bills up here in Buffalo, which hasn't

94
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: happened in quite some time. I think Sam Darnold is

95
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: the last quarterback to get a win up here. Final

96
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 2: of that game was like twenty seven to twenty three.

97
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: I want to say it was either twenty eighteen or

98
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen that that happened near the end of the year.

99
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: The Bills have a pretty good track record against Aaron Rodgers.

100
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: The only time he really zonked them was in Josh's

101
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: rookie year. That game was up in Green Bay and

102
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: they shut out the Bills twenty two. Nothing but Aside

103
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: from that, even going all the way back to like

104
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, the Bills upset a very good Packers team here.

105
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: I think Mario Williams forced to fumble on Rogers in

106
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: the pocket and the ball went and the end zone

107
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: went for a safety or something, and they ended up

108
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: pulling out a victory, a very unlikely one because the

109
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: Bills were not going to the playoffs routine lee back then.

110
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: And then last year we know the Bills kind of

111
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: sprinted out ahead. The Packers kind of came back in

112
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: the second half of that game last year, but just

113
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: didn't have enough to pull even and they ended up losing.

114
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: I think it was thirty to twenty or something, if

115
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: I remember something like that.

116
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: They lost ten right now, it was twenty seven to seventeen.

117
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: Was the final ten point game. That was the week

118
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: after the bye. And Sean McDermott is underfeed after the bye.

119
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 3: He's won every single game as the Bills head coach

120
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: after the bye, and that Week eight game, like you said,

121
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: first half, they get out to it, you know, they

122
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: look great. Second half, the energy seems like it kind

123
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: of went down a notch or two and they were

124
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: having a harder time with Aaron Rodgers, but still won

125
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: by ten points. But I feel like when I look

126
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: back on this team and last season, I kind of

127
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: point to the second half of the Packers game when

128
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: the team started to shift, and when wins got harder,

129
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: and when games got harder, and when putting it together

130
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: on both sides of the field was not as easy

131
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: as it was for this team in the first six

132
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 3: weeks of the season, when they had just one loss,

133
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: and it was to the Miami Dolphins, which could have

134
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: easily been a win had things gone another way and

135
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: had the weather maybe been different. Not to bring up

136
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: that again, but I know their record overall is a

137
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 3: great record and three but the team overall, I think

138
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: started to play a little bit different, to look a

139
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: little bit different in that Packers game.

140
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: The thing about this matchup, and I don't think it's

141
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: gonna be Jets at Bills, but I don't know. Tell

142
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: me how you feel, because I've mentioned this to Steve already.

143
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: Now that the Rogers trade is done, I think it's

144
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: very likely Bills it Jets Week one, Sunday Night football

145
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: at Medla Stadium. What do you think of that?

146
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: I like it?

147
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: Sign I think it's likely, don't you like, you know,

148
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: the kickoff game is probably gonna be Eagles Chiefs because

149
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: they do play each other this year and it's a

150
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowl rematch. It's kind of a no brainer.

151
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 3: Or would they or would the schedule makers say, we

152
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: know that's gonna be a highly viewed and watched games,

153
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: so let's stick that game in the middle of the

154
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: season or toward the end of the season, so that

155
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: we know the first week of the year, the opening

156
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: game is going to get eyes anyways, so let's put

157
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: another game because then we can you know, bank on

158
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: eyes here and bank on ice here.

159
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: I think Bills at Jets is a primetime game in

160
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: Week one, whether it's Sunday night, Monday night, because they

161
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: usually do two Monday night games week one, so it's

162
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: probably that it would be like the seven o'clock game

163
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: on Monday. I think it's just way too easy to

164
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: not stick that game in Week one.

165
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: The Bills also made the list on a second game.

166
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: It was Jags at Bills. That was the seventh ranked game.

167
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 3: Oh I missed that, and it's about you know, Jacksonville

168
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 3: taking a step forward in twenty twenty three with Trevor

169
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 3: Lawrence and their head coach, and they've got these pieces,

170
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: can they start to put things together? What do you

171
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: think you buying that one as a top ten game

172
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty three.

173
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they will be an improved team.

174
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 2: I think they you know, they took a big step

175
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: last year. Now you're not sneaking up on anybody anymore.

176
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 4: Though.

177
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: Teams are going to take you more seriously because of

178
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: what you accomplished last year. So I'm very curious to

179
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: see how Jacksonville handles success. I mean, they got a

180
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: super Bowl winning coach. He's great. He is good with

181
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: quarterbacks too, and he's got a good one. And there

182
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: is talent all over the field for them on both

183
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: sides of the ball. But I just don't think they're

184
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: as far along in their build and their growth as

185
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: a team. I kind of picture it they're like the

186
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen Bills, do you know what I mean? Like, Yeah,

187
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: they just made the playoffs. You know, they've kind of

188
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: turned the corner. They're a legitimate team.

189
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: Now the playoffs is a big shock for you. First

190
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: game doesn't pan out how you wanted it to.

191
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: Now that being said, the twenty twenty Bills did go

192
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: thirteen and four, So is Jacksonville ready to take that step? Maybe?

193
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 4: Maybe?

194
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: I mean they're not playing in an ultra competitive division.

195
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: I mean, Houston's still trying to get their act together.

196
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: Indy is going to have potentially a rookie at quarterback. Actually,

197
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: Houston n India are gonna have a rookie at quarterback

198
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: in Tennessee, I think is not what they used to be.

199
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: I think they can still be competitive.

200
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: What are they doing it?

201
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's Tannehills last year, probably, but for how long exactly?

202
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: You know how much treads left on Derek Henry's tires.

203
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe they're a five hundred team like Jacksonville

204
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: going into this. I mean they're the clear division favorite.

205
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you say, yeah they would? Last year they were

206
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: nine and eight, they won the AFC South And I

207
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 3: think they have And it's it's weird to say this

208
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: because they've come onto the scene in the last season

209
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: or two. They're the most consistent out of all of

210
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 3: these teams. When you look at rosters, when you look

211
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: at trajectory, they're the ones that you would say, yeah,

212
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: I think they have the best chance to do this.

213
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: Playing in that division. They could win eleven or twelve

214
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: games just because they get to play Houston twice, they

215
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: get to play Indy twice, Tennessee, you're probably splitting with

216
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: them at worst. I mean, that's five wins right there.

217
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: You just got to win six other games like they

218
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: could do that. I think they could do that, So yeah,

219
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: they might be. I'm trying to think very quickly through

220
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: all the divisions, like who is the most clear cut

221
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: favorite to win their division? They got to be right

222
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: up there, you know what I mean. The NFC North

223
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: is kind of a crapshoot now with Rogers out of there. Ye,

224
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: so that's kind of wide open. I don't know that

225
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: anybody's a true favorite. I don't think anybody expects the

226
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings to win ten to one score games again

227
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: this year. The law of averages is going to work

228
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: against them a little bit. I would suspect NFC East

229
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: is I mean, you could argue that's Cowboys and Eagles,

230
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: although the Eagles would be the prohibitive favorite. Maybe maybe

231
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: they're a little bit stronger favorite than Jacksonville, but not

232
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: by much. The AFC East is tighter the NFC North.

233
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: I think you can say definitively that Pittsburgh and Baltimore

234
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: got better, so it won't be as easy for Cincy.

235
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have teams nipping at their heels. Are they

236
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: the prohibitive favorite? Yeah, they're the favorite, But are they

237
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: going to run away with it?

238
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 5: May?

239
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: I guess maybe? Yeah, Jacksonville's a pretty strong favorite candidate

240
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: to win their division. I don't know, as maybe Kansas

241
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: City and maybe Philly that might be, you know what

242
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: I mean.

243
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: And I mean everybody talks about THEFC being now quarterback

244
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: strong and quarterback heavy, and you you know, why why

245
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: would Aaron Rodgers want to go play in the AFC

246
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: when you have all these quarterbacks that you're playing against. Well,

247
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: the one division in the AFC does not have that

248
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: is the AFC South.

249
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: Yeah he has. You got two newbies, potentially three. You know,

250
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: if Tennessee turns the page and Tannehill's not getting it done,

251
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: I mean, my goodness, like Trevor Lawrence could be the

252
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: grizzled veteran by next year. Think about and he's what

253
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: is he twenty four?

254
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

255
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: Life comes at you fast.

256
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. Yeah, So we're really I'm looking forward to

257
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: the schedule, you know, release next week, so that'll be

258
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. So excited dison up the schedule

259
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: and seeing who's falling where, when the bye week is,

260
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: Do you have a bunch of Division games? Like remember

261
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: the three Division games in a row they had this

262
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: past year win down the stretch?

263
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: When are the Miami games gonna be? Are we playing

264
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: in Miami at my own September? Is Miami coming to

265
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: us in December or January? So many interesting and intriguing

266
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: games and topics and how they could lay things out,

267
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: and then of course season ticket holders. I've got four

268
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: tickets and as soon as that schedule comes out, I

269
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: already have a notesapp of people in my phone who

270
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: have told me they want to come to games. And

271
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: it is like, we're taking this game, We're taking that game,

272
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: We're taking this game. We're coming in town for this game.

273
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: My parents have called this game. It is oh boy,

274
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: it gets crazy.

275
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, your seats are gonna be like musical chairs.

276
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then nobody wants to come for the December

277
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: and January games because nobody wants to sit outside of

278
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: the mother set.

279
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: They're not in the minority on that, that is for sure.

280
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: Let's go around the NFL. Brought to you by Kalida Health,

281
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, and the

282
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs are added again, adding pieces and not just small pieces.

283
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: This is a team. As we know. They lost to

284
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: Orlando Brown in free agency. He signs with Cincinnati to

285
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: be their left tackle, big money deal. Chiefs weren't going

286
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: to pay it. Instead, they signed Juwan Taylor, but he's

287
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: signed a deal all almost as big. It was kind

288
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: of confusing, like if you're not going to sign Orlando Brown,

289
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: but you're gonna sign Juwan, I don't know. I was

290
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: confused by the whole thing. But now they've doubled down.

291
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: They've also signed free agent offensive tackle Donovan Smith, long

292
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: time starting tackle for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one year

293
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: deal worth up to nine million dollars. So now the

294
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: chief Chiefs have bookend tackles on their offensive line. They

295
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: already have one of the best guards in football and

296
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: Joe Tooney, and they have one of the more talented

297
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: up and coming centers in Creed Humphrey. I think some

298
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: people could even call them a top five center already

299
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: after only a few years in the league. So an

300
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: offensive line that was very good last year got even

301
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: better in the offseason with two proven veteran offensive tackles,

302
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: the latest being Donovan Smith. And they know what the

303
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: number one investment is. It's Patrick Mahomes and they're doing

304
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: everything they can to protect that guy on the edges.

305
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: This offensive line that the Chiefs have now assembled, Maddy,

306
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: I think could rival the Eagles offensive line, which was

307
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 2: widely considered the best in football last year. It's that's

308
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: going to be a good group.

309
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 3: The Eagles were a tank of an offensive line last year.

310
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's running the ball and Jalen Hurts had

311
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 3: the best life last year as a quarterback. And you

312
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: you give that to Patrick Mahomes with what he's been

313
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: able to do. And they've they've had a good offensive

314
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 3: line in the past. Sure, sure, but you you beef

315
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 3: it up this offseason and give that guy a couple

316
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: more players, and then you you draft an offensive tackle

317
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: to Janya Morris out of Oklahoma in the third round,

318
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: add another wide receiver in the second round, and and

319
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 3: are the Chiefs off and running again this season. I

320
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: know they they lost some wide receivers, but.

321
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 2: You know, the only thing that's going to change are

322
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: their tackles, because guard to guard did the same as

323
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: last year. Trey Smith was the only guy I hadn't

324
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: mentioned who I know you know very well. But that's

325
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: a group. I mean they have a third round pick

326
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: already a tackle, you know, Lucas Nying from back in

327
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, you know, and as you mentioned, Wanya Morris

328
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: now in the fold, also another third round draft choice.

329
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: I mean, they just keep rolling them through. It's like

330
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: they're never short handed at some of the most important positions.

331
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: And forgive me, I left my phone on.

332
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 3: Bad on me, wake up everybody.

333
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 2: I get a fine for that. Yeah, I just thought

334
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: it was a very astute move. I was surprised. I

335
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: was surprised that Donovan Smith was still out there. I mean,

336
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: this is a guy that is a proven performer. Clearly

337
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 2: he was not going to acceptum veteran minimum money and

338
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 2: the Chiefs were willing to pay it coming out of

339
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: the draft in which they still drafted attack anyway. So man,

340
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: it's just I don't know, the rich seemed to get richer.

341
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 2: That was the thing that it didn't bother me. But

342
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: it's like, son of a gun, the Chiefs get that

343
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: guy like they don't need him.

344
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking when the Eagles were on

345
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: the clock in the first round during the draft. I'm like,

346
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: this team doesn't need this. Why stop, stop what you're doing.

347
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to play you in the regular season.

348
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: I don't want to play you in the playoffs. But yeah,

349
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 3: the Chiefs continue to add. Heck, the Bills continue to add,

350
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: and there are some still there are still some big

351
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: names out there on the free agency market. It'll be

352
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: interesting to see who decides to add those guys to

353
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: their roster as we roll on into OTA's But I

354
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: mean Poona Ford and Latavious Murray.

355
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, we had Latavious yesterday. It was great just

356
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: talking to him, and he's already talked about how you know,

357
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: blended in has been easy. It's don't even here. A

358
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: couple of days he was doing the tug of war

359
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: thing that the guys do with the Iron Games. Yesterday,

360
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: jump right in. He was going.

361
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: He walked through our office after he did media and

362
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: it was my first time seeing him in person. And

363
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: you know, I've watched him on TV for several years now,

364
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: but there is just something to seeing a running back

365
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: that tall in person. He walked fine. I was like,

366
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: oh my god, he's six three, he's almost two hundred

367
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: and thirty pounds. Yes, he's on our team.

368
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: I mean that's like Adrian Peterson's size. Adrian Peterson was

369
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: sixty three. Big guy. Yeah, and then yeah, you're right,

370
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 2: Pooniford is a guy that I was I don't know.

371
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: I was talking to Steve about this.

372
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: You've got the news. We got the news and you said,

373
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 3: I love Poonaford.

374
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. And I was talking

375
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 2: to Steve about this on the show yesterday because even

376
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: last year, you know, von Miller gets signed in free agency,

377
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: which nobody expected. It happens and people are over the moon,

378
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: and I totally get it, and everybody's talking about von Miller,

379
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: von Miller, von Miller. I totally know why and understand why.

380
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: But last year, at this time, I was more excited

381
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: about all the defensive tackles they signed, and here I am.

382
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: I was doing it again with poona Ford, and I

383
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: was like, do I just have like a natural attraction

384
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: to the big, sturdy guys inside, Like I love those

385
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: signings more than anything else. Automatically, Yeah, he's gonna be

386
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: a big help in the run front. We were We

387
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: relayed a stat from Warren Sharp that he put out

388
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 2: yesterday about the Bills signing of Pooniford, and the Bills

389
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: ranked in the bottom five in yards per carry aloud

390
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 2: between the guards, so inside running. They ranked last in

391
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: the league in some other inside running statistics. And this

392
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: is a guy that can kind of mitigate that and

393
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 2: take care of that a little bit. So yeah, I'm

394
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: very encouraged. And I don't know if you've seen some

395
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: of the clips. The Seattle Seahawks had a nice sendoff

396
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 2: tweet about him with some footage. Poona Ford has got

397
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: a million dollar smile. Have you seen that guy? He's like,

398
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: seems like a jovial type. He's always rubbing his little

399
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: Buddha belly after play. Sometimes he's hilarious. I can't wait

400
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 2: to get him in studio. He'll be all riot.

401
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited for this edition to the roster. And

402
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: we heard Brandon Bean say after the draft, you know,

403
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 3: defensive tackles a position I wanted to add to it

404
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 3: didn't happen for us. So I can see us, you know,

405
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: looking at what veterans are available out there, and they

406
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 3: go ahead and sign Poona Ford in Latavious Murray and

407
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: and poon Afford the position that he plays and how

408
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: can he can help the defensive line that likes to rotate.

409
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: Jordan Phillips was kind of in and out of the

410
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: lineup sometimes with injuries this past season. And and at Oliver,

411
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: and you think about how does ed Oliver? How can

412
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: he be the best version of himself? It's when you

413
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: have a big guy next to ed Oliver. Jordan Phillips

414
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 3: has helped. Can poon A Ford also help at Oliver

415
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: be the best version that at Oliver can be?

416
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully so. Lamar Jackson has officially signed on the

417
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: dotted line his five year extension for two hundred and

418
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: sixty simoleions. That's in millions. I was unaware of this, Mattie,

419
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: and I know, I told you before we came on

420
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: the air his signing bonus. We knew what his total

421
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: guaranteed money was. It was somewhere in the one seventies,

422
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: I want to say, or no, what was it? One one?

423
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: It was more than It was more than Jalen hurt

424
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: Scott in terms of guaranteed money, but it was still

425
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 2: only like sixty percent of the contract. But seventy two

426
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: and a half million of that he got in his

427
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 2: pocket when he signed it today, the largest signing bonus

428
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 2: ever for an NFL contract. The previous high was Dak

429
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: Prescott at sixty six million for a signing bonus. So

430
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: just by signing his name today, seventy two and a

431
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: half million dollar check was cut to one Lamar Jackson.

432
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 3: That is just cray Z and he gets to go

433
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: to his team with a new weapon and obj the Ravens.

434
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna be an interesting team. I don't know

435
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: if you noticed this, Maddy when he was on camera.

436
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: You know, the Ravens are taking their pictures and everything

437
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: for social and whatever else. His neck, I don't know

438
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 2: what it is. I don't know if he's doing a

439
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: lot of shoulder and shrug work, but it's like his

440
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: neck disappeared. His head goes like right into his shoulders.

441
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: Now he's got like a this keyo Spike's neck. It's huge.

442
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 2: So I don't know what he's what work he's doing

443
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 2: here in the offseason, but his neck is all rocked up.

444
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just he's got like a linebackers.

445
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 6: Now.

446
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say he looks like yes, I.

447
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: Mean he's like a you know, he's a narrow framed guy.

448
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 2: I don't know where he comes off with a neck

449
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: that's almost as wide as his shoulders. Now, I don't

450
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: know what kind of work his personal trainer has him doing,

451
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: but if it's to make his neck thicker, mission accomplished.

452
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. It was like a transformative thing

453
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: from last year.

454
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: It is pretty big. I like the new hairstyle too.

455
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exact.

456
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that yet. Yeah, looks good.

457
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was on that to all full and

458
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: out volume, I guess, is the answer I would go

459
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: with there. The other news, first round draft picks are

460
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: signing already or at least agreeing to terms. Eagles Well,

461
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: the first of their two first round picks, Jalen Carter,

462
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: has agreed to terms on his rookie contract already. It's

463
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 2: a fully guaranteed four year deal worth almost twenty two

464
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: million dollars. That is par for the course. First round

465
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: picks have been getting fully guaranteed contracts for a while now,

466
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: because I remember when EJ. Manuel was the first round

467
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: pick here back in twenty thirteen, he had a fully

468
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: guaranteed contract he was the sixth teenth pick in round one.

469
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter was the tenth pick to the Eagles. So

470
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: he's already agreed to terms, which is it seems to

471
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: be earlier and earlier, I mean moved from when he

472
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: got picked. He signs a week later.

473
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: These things coming so fast.

474
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if I ever thought I would see

475
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: that day, because you know, back in the day and

476
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 2: I was telling Maddie this, like first round pick, sometimes

477
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: it'd still be holding out a training camp, and you know,

478
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: the new CBA comes through and it just changed the

479
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 2: whole game. And thank god that it did, because it's

480
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 2: so much easier now for everybody involved. Because guys just

481
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: get slotted. They increase incrementally from one year to the

482
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: next based on where you got picked, and off you go.

483
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: It's pretty cut and dry, and I think the agents

484
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: are probably happy, the teams are certainly happy, and the

485
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: players don't have to stress about it.

486
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 5: No.

487
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: A lot of times, all the stiff stuff gets done

488
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 3: during or buy rookie mini camp and and you are

489
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 3: ready to go for OTAs. And I've got to imagine

490
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: as somebody is entering into the NFL for their first

491
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 3: season as an NFL player. To have that out of sight,

492
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 3: out of mind, you know, pretty much right away, has

493
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: got to help these guys as they're starting to adjust

494
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 3: to life in the NFL, starting to pick up tougher

495
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: playbooks on offense and on defense. To have something like

496
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: that just done has got to be helpful.

497
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: The biggest difference too, is, you know, back several years ago,

498
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: you usually see the seventh, sixth, fifth round pick sign

499
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: first because those were perceived as the easier contracts to

500
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: get done. So those are the ones you would see

501
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: early on, maybe like right after rookie Mini Caamp a

502
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: couple of the last couple of draft picks sign. Now

503
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: you got the first rounders done first. It's just I

504
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: don't know, it's just seems totally backwards to me. I

505
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: still haven't gotten accustomed to that topic of discussion for

506
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: you today, it's a good one. We've seen a lot

507
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: of changes on the offensive side the ball this offseason,

508
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: a lot of changes on the defensive side of the

509
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: ball this offseason, including the head coach calling plays on

510
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: defense for this fall. So with all of that change

511
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: in mind, which side of the ball for the Bills

512
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 2: do you believe will look most different this coming season.

513

Speaker 2: You let us know at eight zho three zero five

00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: got for as Chris.

534
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 7: Hey, Chris and MANDI thanks for taking my call. Sure

535
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 7: you know I Hey, Chris, I used to see you

536
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 7: at some of the Lancaster High School functions.

537
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 4: For our kids.

538
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely.

539
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 7: It's always impressive, always impressed with your work.

540
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 6: You know.

541
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say something controversial. I I just watching the

542
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 7: Bills last year and prior years. I do not think

543
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 7: that Sean McDermott's philosophy of ben but don't break is

544
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 7: going to work against really good teams. And I this

545
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 7: is total speculation, but Leslie Frasier's not back, and I

546
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 7: think my take and this is Frazer probably wanted to

547
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 7: be more aggressive and McDermott did not. And I just

548
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 7: have a feeling we are not going to see a

549
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 7: lot of change on the defensive side. He just he's

550
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 7: great with camaraderie. They've been pretty good with the draft.

551
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 7: He's a stand up guy. But as a game day general,

552
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 7: you know, And I'll never forget the halftime of that

553
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 7: Sinci game when both Sims and Bomer were saying, my gosh,

554
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 7: they have got to be more aggressive. They're standing back

555
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 7: and they're letting Cincinnati heap them alive. And I just

556
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 7: don't know if you're gonna win a big game, granted

557
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 7: will be there because the talent we have, but I

558
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 7: just don't know if we're going to do it with

559
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 7: this guy. And it's I know it's controversial. I like him,

560
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 7: but as a head coach, I mean, tell me I'm wrong.

561
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 7: That's I would love to hear that that don't see it.

562
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem, Chris. Thanks for the call, respect the perspective.

563
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: If you asked me to guess, I would say the

564
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: scenario that you painted is the exact opposite. I believe

565
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: that Sean McDermott wanted to be and this is just

566
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: me talking. I don't definitively know this for a fact.

567
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: It's just a feel that I have. My feeling is

568
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: that Sean McDermott wanted to be more aggressive and Leslie

569
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: Fraser was kind of of the more conservative mindset because

570
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: I think Leslie Fraser believed implicitly in the talent level

571
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: of the players that he had on defense and didn't

572
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: feel he needed to take chances or unnecessary risks to

573
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: be successful. Let's not forget in twenty twenty one, this

574
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: defense was the number one defense in football playing that way,

575
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: and I think Leslie Fraser was committed to sticking to that, believing, well,

576
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: why would I want it to change what worked so uncommonly?

577
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: You know so well in twenty twenty one, and now

578
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: we see Sean McDermott taking over this defense. And Maddie

579
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: knows this because I think she was there when Ron

580
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: Rivera said it. At the NFL Combine.

581
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: He was asked, I asked him the question.

582
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 2: You asked him the question, and what was his answer?

583
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: I asked him, we were preparing for a story that

584
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: we were doing for Sean getting inducted into the Hall

585
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: of Fame or Hall of Fame at his college and

586
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: Mary and so I just asked him, you know about

587
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott as a coach, what type of coach is he?

588
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 8: Like?

589
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: What has it been like working with him? And he said, well,

590
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: if I'm going to describe his play style and play

591
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: calling abilities, the one word I use is aggressive.

592
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's the exact word that Ron Rivera used

593
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: after working with him directly for six years in Carolina

594
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: where he ran a defense that out of the six years,

595
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: I believe four of the six the defense was top

596
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: five in sacks, top five in takeaways, and that was

597
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: without Leslie Frazier anywhere near Carolina. So I respect the

598
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: perspective Chris, but I think it's actually flipped. I think

599
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: the defense will be more aggressive under Sean McDermott, not

600
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: the same, and so I think that's why he ultimately

601
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 2: decided to take things over from a play calling perspective

602
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: at least at the outset here. And we'll see how

603
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: it goes. But if you're asking me to kind of

604
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: guess as to where this defense is headed, I would

605
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: say it's going to lean more aggressive than we've seen

606
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Let's go back to the

607
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: phones and go to Judy in Buffalo. What do you

608
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: got for his Judy or on one Bill's Live.

609
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, I think the Bills will change their offensive

610
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 5: style this year. I think they're going to go with

611
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 5: a more control the ball type of offense. I would

612
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: like to see that. I also think they'll be better

613
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 5: in the red zone, and the more they can stay

614
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 5: on the field and not let the defense get on there,

615
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 5: we will be better off. I do want to make

616
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 5: a comment about Lamar Jackson's contract. I think he's hugely overpaid.

617
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 5: I just don't see that he is that much of

618
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 5: a talent for the Ravens or in the league. I

619
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 5: think he's good, but he has never performed up to

620
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 5: his first year when he was the MVP. And one

621
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 5: other question is, now they're paying Aaron Rodgers fifty million

622
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 5: dollars to quarterback, how much are they obligated to pay

623
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 5: their number two draft choice, Zach Wilson as a backup.

624
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: That's all, okay, no problem, Judy. Zach Wilson still on

625
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: his rookie contract, so he's relatively affordable, certainly nowhere near

626
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: the kind of money that Aaron Rodgers is making. And

627
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: the Jets are going to redo Aaron Rodgers contract if

628
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: they haven't done so already, to alleviate the cap constraints

629
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 2: that it presents, and they're going to spread that money

630
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 2: out a little bit more effectively. As for Lamar, he's

631
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: uber talented, but there are limitations to his game from

632
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 2: a passing perspective, and teams know that, and that's why

633
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: opposing defenses play him a certain way. For example, a

634
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 2: lot of times, defenses, especially in his early years, would

635
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: invite him to throw passes outside the numbers towards the

636
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: sideline because his accuracy was dramatically worse on those kinds

637
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: of throws. He did most of his damage between the

638
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 2: numbers in the passing game, and the Bills employed that

639
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: strategy and won the football game. And can he make

640
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: it better. I'm sure he can. Everybody can get better.

641
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: He's still a young guy, but there are limitations to

642
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: his game. I don't disagree with you. Two hundred and

643
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 2: sixty millions a lot to fork over for a guy who,

644
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: passing wise, may still have some limitations to his game.

645
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 3: He's got some shiny new toys to work with, so

646
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: we'll see how that ups his anti in the passing games.

647
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: Passing game. He did say in his press conference right

648
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: after he signed, he said he wants to throw for

649
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: six thousand yards this season and believes they have the

650
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: guys to do it.

651
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: Six thousand yards yep.

652
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 3: I don't want to throw for six thousand yards next season.

653
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I understand the guys to do it.

654
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: His problem is he's got to play seventeen games, which

655
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: he hasn't been able to do each of the last

656
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: two seasons. So before you start talking about six thousand yards,

657
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 2: how about you just focus on playing seventeen games. That

658
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 2: would be step one, and then Judy also asked about

659
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: well she thinks the offense is going to be dramatically

660
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: more different than the defense. It's her contention that they'll

661
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: be a little bit more ball control style to the offense,

662
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: so the defense isn't on the field as long. Kind

663
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: of use possession to help you win games, possession time,

664
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 2: I should say maybe ever so slightly they try to.

665
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 2: I would say Judy this, I think the ball control

666
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: will come into play more in the last four to

667
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: six minutes of regulation, not in the first half. I

668
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: think this is still going to be a throwing football

669
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: team because Josh is the centerpiece and he should be,

670
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 2: and they're going to throw the ball all over the yard.

671
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: But if they are up, I could see your ball

672
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 2: control argument coming to fruition. Layden games, salt the game away,

673
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 2: run the football, whether it's Latavius Murray, Damien Harri's, big body,

674
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: guys that can get tough yards, run downhill, et cetera,

675
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 2: et cetera. That's where I could see that coming into play.

676
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: And they weren't a bad red zone offense last year.

677
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: They were ninth in the league.

678
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, they ranked time of possession. I wanted to look

679
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 3: that up. They were nineteenth in on offense and defense

680
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 3: for time and possession, and there were games that you

681
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: can go back to that the offense was able to

682
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 3: control the clock and run the ball out at the

683
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: end of the game, and that was just such I

684
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 3: remember when we had those games. I think there were

685
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: probably only a few of them that I can remember

686
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: off the top of my head right now, but it

687
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 3: was just such a relief when you got to that

688
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: point in the game and when the run game was

689
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 3: working like we wanted it to, like everybody thought it

690
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 3: should with the talent that they had on the roster,

691
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: When the offensive line was doing a good job of

692
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: letting the run game happen and opening up the holes

693
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: for the guys, it was just like, we are a

694
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 3: team who can do what they they want to do

695
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 3: on offense. To be able to end a game running

696
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: the football. That is something that I hope happens more

697
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: often for this team because of the offensive line additions

698
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: you've made in free agency and through the draft, and

699
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: because of the running backs that you bring in here,

700
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 3: because of a Latavious Murray, because of a Damien Harris,

701
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 3: because of James Cook taking the next step forward in

702
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 3: his football career, like, I think think that's something that

703
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: has been missing for this team in terms of consistency

704
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 3: of them being able to do so. And if they

705
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 3: can lean on that more than they were able to

706
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: last season. Man, oh man, it's going to help the offense,

707
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: it's going to help the defense be able to take

708
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 3: a break, it's going to help Josh Allen be able

709
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 3: to take a break. I think this is one thing

710
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: that's been missing for this group that could really help

711
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 3: take them to the next level deep in the season.

712
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: Good call, Judy, thanks for it. We go back to

713
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: the phones and to Kyle and Buffalo. Next we got

714
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 2: for a Skyle.

715
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 9: Hey, thank you for having me on. So I think

716
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 9: for the off season, I really do think we've made

717
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 9: a lot of improvements on the offense, and I think

718
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 9: other than improving depth at running back, receiver, and even

719
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 9: tight end with King Kid, I'm really excited about the

720
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 9: offensive line and I'm hoping to see with us this

721
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 9: season what we've seen with Mahomes in the Chiefs in

722
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 9: recent years, and we've seen for years and years with

723
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 9: Brady when he was in New England. I'm hoping that

724
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 9: we can just see more time for Josh so he

725
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 9: can just really sit in the pocket make the throws

726
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 9: that he needs to throw. And I want us to

727
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 9: be one of those teams that we've seen with them

728
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 9: where we just sit back and we just get so frustrated, thinking,

729
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 9: you know, this guy has so much time for how

730
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 9: talented he is. And I'm hoping that other teams and

731
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 9: other fans will look at us and see that in

732
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 9: us this season.

733
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean offensive line. It's not sexy, but

734
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 2: it's still something to get excited about. And we were

735
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 2: just talking at the top of the show about the

736
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 2: investments that the Chiefs have made in the last three

737
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: off seasons with their offensive line. They completely revamped it

738
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: two years ago. It all kind of came together last

739
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 2: year for them. They win the Super Bowl and now

740
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: the left tackle they had, they say, well, we're not

741
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: paying him, They pay somebody else, a younger player and

742
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 2: Juwan Taylor who they signed away from Jacksonville. And now

743
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: today they signed Donovan Smith, another veteran offensive tackle, to

744
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 2: play on the other side on a one year deal.

745
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: They did a complete revamp of that old line two

746
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: years ago. They're still tweaking it even now after winning

747
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

748
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, offensive line is just similar to

749
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 3: defensive line. It's a position group you're adding to almost

750
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 3: every single season, regardless if you had the best offensive

751
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 3: line in the NFL or not, just because of the

752
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 3: wear and tear with that position, because of the bodies

753
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 3: you need to get through an entire season at that position,

754
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 3: and just because of the fact of if you had

755
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 3: to pick a position group in the NFL that is

756
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 3: the weakest, it's the offensive line. It's because there's not

757
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: enough guys who are good enough to play at an

758
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: NFL level. There's not enough coming into the NFL every

759
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 3: single season. And some of the guys that are coming

760
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 3: in maybe later round guys, maybe they don't last as long.

761
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 3: Some of them sure should be surprises or will be

762
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 3: surprises for their NFL teams. But it's just a position

763
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 3: group that doesn't get enough guys that have that caliber,

764
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 3: that have that NFL type quay style to their play.

765
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 3: And you look at the position and then you start

766
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 3: to look at guards and tackles. There's not enough tackles

767
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 3: to go around in the NFL. It is really hard

768
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 3: to hit on a tackle position left tackle, especially in

769
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 3: right tackle as well. There's just not enough players to

770
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 3: go around. And so that's why you see nfls constantly tweaking,

771
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: because if you don't hit on it, then you're trying

772
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: again the next season. And thankfully the Bills have been

773
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 3: able to hit on the left tackle in Dion Dawkins.

774
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 3: But Spencer Brown is the guy who's going to try

775
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 3: again this season. And I know he's had some injuries,

776
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 3: and he came from a different type of program and

777
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 3: missed some time for COVID. His team did not play

778
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 3: an entire season, so it might take him a couple

779
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: more years to get at it and get with it

780
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: and feel like he can really participate on the offensive

781
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 3: line because of what he went through in college and

782
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: with these injuries. As Brandon Bean has told us multiple times,

783
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 3: but that is still a position that the Bills are

784
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: trying to figure out. Is Spencer got is Spencer Brown

785
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 3: or guy or not?

786
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Which side of the ball will look the most

787
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 2: different in twenty twenty three? Offense or defense? You tell

788
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,680

00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: throughout the crowd for the entire weekend. I'm gonna go

807
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 3: like a year ago.

808
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 2: I think they're all sold out.

809
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: I think we got the email because the employees got

810
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 3: to buy tickets like a year in advance or whatever

811
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 3: it was. But I remember buying them and thinking, Gosh,

812
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 3: this is gonna this isn't gonna be for a long time.

813
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 3: And here we are and I cannot wait.

814
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild and they're doing like renovations there right

815
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: after this championship event is over. They're like redoing all

816
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 2: their structures and buildings, the clubhouse, like the whole thing,

817
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: right after this tournament's over. Like it's going to be

818
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 2: completely different the next time they're there.

819
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 3: I wonder if we'll be doing construction when we're over

820
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 3: at Saint John Fisher.

821
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe they might be doing it by then, because

822
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: those clubs, they don't wait. They go get back to

823
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 2: the phones though. At eight oh three zero five point fifty,

824
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 2: where we are asking you today which side of the

825
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 2: ball do you think will look more different in twenty

826
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: twenty three than it did last year? Offense or defense?

827
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: We go to the phones and to Kevin and Hamburg,

828
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 2: who's been waiting? What do you got for us?

829
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: Kevin, Hey, guys, how you doing? Thanks for taking my call. Sure,

830
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: I think the offense will look better. And my opinion

831
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: is this now that we got a big guy in

832
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: Damien Harris, the one who especially pounded on us in

833
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: that December sixth, twenty twenty one game, the one that

834
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: was a win win games all over the place. I

835
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: hope we can use him in those games that we

836
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: were up twenty seven to ten like we were Green

837
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: Bay and instead of getting close like to the end,

838
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: turned into a Bill spanking and pound on him that

839
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: we didn't have because he's so broody and we use

840
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: him the right way the way New England did, especially

841
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: in that December sixth win Hurricane game. We should be

842
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: able to spank those teams instead of letting them get

843
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: close like they did in the Packer game. We should

844
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: be able to pound, pound on them. Hopefully here's them

845
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: that way, the way New England did on us and

846
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: other teams.

847
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, Kevin, it's kind of similar, Matt. Either,

848
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: what Judy was kind of getting at, I don't know

849
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: if that's exactly how she was thinking in terms of

850
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 2: more of a ball control offense, but I think throw

851
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: the ball to get ahead, run the ball to sault

852
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: the game away at the end.

853
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 3: That sounds more in the line of what the Bills

854
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: would do. And look after every season, this team takes

855
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,479
Speaker 3: the time to look at their own tape and kind

856
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 3: of dissect and figure out, Okay, what did we like

857
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 3: from last season, What do we want to change from

858
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 3: last season? What do we want to tweak here? And

859
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 3: I would guess they're having conversations about the past game,

860
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 3: but they're also having conversations about the run game and

861
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 3: how they can do a better job of implementing that,

862
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 3: whether it's from an offensive line perspective or whether it's

863
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 3: from a hate We have a need here at running back,

864
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 3: and let's fill that need. And we heard Brandon Bean

865
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 3: talk about and Sean McDermott as well, we're looking for

866
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 3: a little bit heavier of a running back, a guy

867
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 3: who who can run the ball in short yardage situations.

868
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,439
Speaker 3: He didn't necessarily give the weight, but then I think

869
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 3: a couple days later, a week later after we heard

870
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 3: from Brandon or Sean alluding to we need a bigger back,

871
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 3: and they signed Damian Harris, And you're like, all right,

872
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: that's what they think of a bigger back, right.

873
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 2: And he's not gigantic. No, I mean Latavius Murray is.

874
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 2: He's two thirty. I mean Damien Harris goes about two

875
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: to eighteen, Yeah, two fifteen to eighteen somewhere in there.

876
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: So he's not gigantic.

877
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 3: He's not small, bigger than what they had on the roster, yes, yes.

878
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 2: And the other thing that I noticed about him, because

879
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 2: you know, just from where we're situated here on the

880
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: edge of the field house. We're in and out all

881
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 2: the time, and you know they're starting to work on

882
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 2: the field now that they're in Phase two. And I

883
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, Damien Harris, like his legs are like

884
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 2: tree trunks. He's got a power pack packed guy. He's

885
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 2: got a power pack on the back. So like when

886
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 2: you see him up close. Even though, oh his weight

887
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 2: that's listed is two fifteen to eighteen, his lower half

888
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: is very thick, so you understand where his downhill running

889
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 2: power comes from. It's all in his lower half. It's

890
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: all packed together, super muscular, so he can run that way.

891
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: And the Bills fans have seen that before because this

892
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 2: guy was a Bill's killer for the Patriots before he

893
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: got here. So it's kind of good that he's on

894
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 2: our side now, for sure.

895
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Most definitely several touchdowns two years ago. And I

896
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 3: think he said when he was signing, you know, why

897
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 3: not join the team that you were able to do

898
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 3: good things against? Bring it to the Bills. And now

899
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 3: here we are, we're cooking.

900
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so look forward to that. And I think with

901
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: Harris and Murray in the fold, you can make a

902
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 2: better argument for running at the end of a game.

903
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: Even when the opponent knows you want to run the football,

904
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: those guys can get you tough yards. And I think

905
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: that's something else. You know, we were talking defensively what

906
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 2: McDermott would want to do when we suspect that he's

907
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 2: going to want to be more aggressive than they've been

908
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years. And I think on offense,

909
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 2: he does want that ball control capability at the end

910
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 2: of football games when they're up on the scoreboard comfortably

911
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 2: and just want to use that lead to their advantage

912
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 2: by taking clock away from the opponent as well. And

913
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 2: the best way to do that is to run the

914
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: football and just keep the clock running. We have to

915
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 2: take a break here. Our number two coming your way.

916
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: We'll have Pete Prisco coming on from CBS Sports a

917
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: little bit later on in our number two. But more

918
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 2: of your phone calls and your tweets on the tweet

919
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 2: sheet next on which side of the ball you think

920
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: will look more different? In twenty twenty three, Chris Brown

921

929
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: you think might look more different than it did the

930
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: year before this fall when they take the field in

931
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 2: the regular season. And there's been some interesting takes so far.

932
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 2: We've had some people wondering, thinking, contemplating, and I would

933
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 2: say more are of the opinion that the offense is

934
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: going to change a little bit more. I understand why

935
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: Dong Kincaid presents a different element to the passing game.

936
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 2: The two running backs that have come in, the veteran

937
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 2: guys Murray and Harris, could change how games are ended

938
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 2: if the Bills are ahead on the scoreboard. What about

939
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 2: the defense, though, Maddie like not many people are talking

940
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 2: about that. You're gonna have a different person dropped smack

941
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 2: in the middle of it, with Tremaine Edmonds not here anymore,

942
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 2: and Sean McDermott's calling the defense much like Ken Dorsey

943
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 2: last year. No matter which way you slice it, no

944
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 2: matter how similar the scheme is to what they've played

945
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 2: here in the last six years. It is going to

946
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 2: look different in some capacity.

947
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 3: And Sean said when he spoke to media about calling

948
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 3: plays and how it would work out for him, he

949
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 3: did say, you know, hey, we're doing good things here

950
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 3: on defense. We have been since I took over this

951
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 3: place and since Leslie Fraser came in. But every single

952
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 3: defense coordinator has their own stamp on a defense. Every

953
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator has things that they like to do, has

954
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 3: things that they don't like to do, And I wonder

955
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 3: what that's gonna look like for Sean McDermott. The middle

956
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 3: linebacker position is a hole on this roster for this team.

957
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 3: Sure there's guys on the roster that are gonna compete

958
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 3: to fill that spot, but is the spot gonna look

959
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 3: a little bit different in terms of how that mike

960
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 3: linebacker is used. Are we gonna see more sets with

961
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 3: three linebackers. You start to wonder if nickel is going

962
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 3: to be what this team plays in all the time

963
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 3: like they did in seasons prior to this season. And

964
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 3: it has worked out for the Bills defense a lot

965
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 3: over the last few seasons. I mean, if you look

966
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 3: at where they rank in the last three or four

967
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 3: seasons combined compared to other teams, they are top three

968
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 3: in so many different categories. So you're gonna want to

969
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 3: take things from the defense overlap four or five years

970
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 3: and implement that into this year's defense. But it's gonna

971
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 3: have a little twist with Sean McDermott calling the plays.

972
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: I'm really interested to see what that twist is going

973
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 3: to be. You also add a player like Taylor Rapp

974
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: to the defense. What role is he going to play?

975
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 3: Is he gonna factor into games at all this season?

976
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 3: You know you have Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer that

977
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 3: those are gonna be your obvious starting safeties. But are

978
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 3: there some looks where different guys get rolled into the fold?

979
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 3: How is it gonna look against passing heavy teams versus

980
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 3: run heavy teams. I know there's not a lot of

981
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 3: those in the NFL, but Sean McDermott is just and

982
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 3: Leslie Fraziers too. But you look up to guys like that,

983
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 3: You look up to defensive minded coaches and a guy

984
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 3: who did it at the highest level and for a

985
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 3: great team for so many years and comes to the

986
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 3: Bills and takes over as head coach and now gets

987
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 3: a chance to call plays again. You wonder if it's

988
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 3: gonna be very similar to his days as defensive coordinator.

989
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 3: You wonder if it's going to be any different because

990
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 3: of how the NFL has changed over the last several years.

991
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 3: Very very very very very interesting.

992
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, Steve and I were talking about Taylor

993
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: Rap the other day because one of the callers brought

994
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: him up, and I think that a three safety look

995
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 2: is something that we could see through the course of

996
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 2: the season based on what the offense is dealing out

997
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: to them. Tarn Johnson is a guy that almost never

998
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 2: comes off the field, but last year, towards the end

999
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: of the season, we saw teams pulling a tackle coming

1000
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 2: around the edge and blocking Taron Johnson into oblivion because

1001
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 2: it's not a fair fight and they would run behind

1002
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 2: that guy. Does it make a difference if you have

1003
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 2: a safety on the field, like a tailor rap instead,

1004
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 2: who can also cover slot receivers and maybe hold up

1005
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 2: a little bit better in a situation like that. You know,

1006
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: those are all things that are formulated and contemplated about

1007
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 2: all throughout the offseason February more March April by the

1008
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 2: coaching staff. That's why they meet every day because they're

1009
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 2: trying to come up with the next best thing. How

1010
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 2: do we improve this, how do we improve that, and

1011
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 2: what do we have to do different based on some

1012
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: of the trends that are emerging in the league. And

1013
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 2: coach McDermott spends an awful lot of time on that

1014
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 2: with his coaching staff through the course of the offseason.

1015
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 2: All right, Maddie, we see mock drafts out the wazoo

1016
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 2: from January to the third week in April, right up

1017
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: to the day of the draft. What we don't often

1018
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:34,959
Speaker 2: see is how the mock drafters scored and how many

1019
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 2: did they get right in a first round? You know,

1020
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 2: three picks four. I think the high last year was

1021
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 2: nine out of thirty two picks. There were only thirty

1022
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 2: one picks in round one this year. But why don't

1023
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 2: we start with this, Maddie. You were diligently following and

1024
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 2: tracking the mock drafts as it pertained to the Bills pick,

1025
00:55:55,760 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 2: specifically in Round one. I don't recall Dalton Kaid's name

1026
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 2: coming up a whole lot of the time, although I

1027
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 2: do know that he did come up somewhat. So drum roll, please,

1028
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: how many mock drafters got Dalton Kincaid correct for the Bills.

1029
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 3: One person, one person got dal Kinkaid right to the

1030
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 3: Bills at number twenty seven, and let's paint this picture here.

1031
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 3: Dalon Kinkaid in April and at the end of March

1032
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 3: started to rise on people's draft boards.

1033
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 2: They got medical clearance, He.

1034
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 3: Got the medical clearance, and just because of the wide

1035
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 3: receiver class that didn't have a lot of first round

1036
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 3: graded guys that would go in the first round. If

1037
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 3: you needed a wide receiver esque type player, Dalton Kincaid

1038
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 3: is your next guy to go. And so he started

1039
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 3: to rise on the draft boards and the later, the

1040
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 3: later drafts, in mock drafts in April that I started

1041
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 3: to look at and track, Dalon Kincaid was usually off

1042
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 3: the board by the time the Bills were on the

1043
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 3: clock at number twenty seven. We know the Bills traded

1044
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 3: up for Dalton Kincaid. I saw Dalon Kincaid and the

1045
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 3: mock drafts heading to the Dallas Cowboys quite a bit,

1046
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 3: and Brandon said, you know, we thought the Cowboys may

1047
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 3: select a player like Dalton Kincaid, so we felt like

1048
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 3: we had to hop them in order to get our guy.

1049
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 3: They go get they go get their guy at number

1050
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 3: twenty five. The one person who had that right without

1051
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 3: a trade. It happened March twenty ninth. It was from

1052
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 3: CBS Sports and the guy was Josh Edwards, who did

1053
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 3: the mock draft. So kudos to Josh for being the

1054
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 3: only person out of the one hundred and seventy one

1055
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 3: mock drafts that we tracked to get it right.

1056
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 2: Congratulations.

1057
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 3: Way to go, Bud.

1058
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 2: If you're one, it's one set one seven. Get at

1059
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 2: least a golf clap for that.

1060
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 3: My goodness, I know, and I'm making a big deal

1061
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 3: out of this because last year there were far fewer

1062
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 3: players that were mocked to the Bill at the position

1063
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 3: that they were drafting. But people got Kyrie Elam as

1064
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 3: early as February. There might have even been one in January.

1065
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 3: But one of the most mocked players to the Bills, the.

1066
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 2: Corner need, was kind of sticking out last year, Levi Wallace,

1067
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 2: was not re signed. He goes signs with Pittsburgh. You

1068
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 2: know that Tray White may not be ready at the

1069
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: beginning of the season, and so I think cornerback was

1070
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 2: such a I don't know if I want to say glaring,

1071
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 2: but close to that need for the Bills position wise

1072
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 2: that I think a lot of people just didn't overthink

1073
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 2: it and said, all right, yeah it was. It was,

1074
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 2: I think it was. And even then people were surprised

1075
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 2: by the Kincaid pick because a lot of people knee

1076
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 2: jerk reacted and said, well, you got Dawns and knocks,

1077
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 2: what are you doing? But they're differently.

1078
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 3: A couple days to get on board with it. The

1079
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 3: one draft pick that everybody got almost correct, not everybody,

1080
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 3: but it was the second most mocked player to the

1081
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 3: Bills at number twenty seven, didn't happen in the first

1082
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 3: round for the Bills, ended up happening in the second

1083
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 3: round was Osiris Torrance. Osiris Torrance was mocked to the

1084
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 3: Bills eighteen times. That was the second most out of

1085
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 3: any player in this draft class. And Osiris Torrance was

1086
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 3: a very very hot name in March, early March and

1087
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 3: in February because that was a need for the Bills

1088
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 3: at that point. They did add some more firepower to

1089
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 3: the offensive line, so guard especially didn't seem to be

1090
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 3: much more that much of a need for the Bills

1091
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 3: at number twenty seven, and he kind of started to

1092
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 3: fall off the draft boards. I started to see him

1093
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 3: in mock drafts that I was tracking. I started to

1094
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 3: see him going in the second round, the top middle

1095
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 3: of the second round more often than going off the

1096
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 3: board in the first round. And he falls to the

1097
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 3: Bills in the second round. And Brandon said, when they

1098
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 3: made the call to Osiris Torrance, they said, hey, we

1099
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 3: have been waiting patiently, man, we've been waiting for you,

1100
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 3: and we're happy to have you. I think it ends

1101
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: up working out for them pretty pretty all right.

1102
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 2: There's a good value. That's probably it's probably their best

1103
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 2: value pick in the entire draft class getting him all

1104
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 2: the way down. I mean, it's one thing if you

1105
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 2: get him at the top round two, but the bottom

1106
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 2: that's extraordinary value. Well, thanks for reviewing that, because too

1107
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 2: often we see all these mock drafts and then we

1108
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 2: never take a look. Did anybody get this thing right?

1109
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 3: And one person matter?

1110
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 2: Well, it probably just reinforces that none of us know

1111
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 2: anything about anything, at least as far as it pertains

1112
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 2: to the draft. Mattie, thanks for your hell. Today, Matty's

1113
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 2: got a duck out early. She's got an MC and

1114
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 2: event across the parking lot over in one of the clubs,

1115
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 2: so we'll let her do that. But when we return

1116
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 2: CBS Sports, Pete Prisco is going to join me. He

1117
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 2: wasn't exactly thrilled with the Bill's first round pick at

1118
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 2: twenty five of Dalton Kincaid. We'll try to find out

1119
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 2: why when we return here on One Bill's Live, presented

1120
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 2: by Colt the Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back

1121
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 2: to One Bills Live. Chris Brown here with you, flying

1122
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 2: solo for the rest of the show. Matty had a

1123
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 2: commitment across the parking lot. I got an mc and

1124
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 2: event here at the stadium today, so she had to

1125
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 2: duck out, and so it's just me and you for

1126
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 2: the rest of the way here until three o'clock. We

1127
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: are waiting to catch up with CBS Sports senior NFL

1128
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 2: columnist Pete Prisco in just a second here. I want

1129
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 2: to talk to him about his thoughts on the first

1130
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 2: round of the draft. He recently put together a column

1131
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 2: about each and every pick. Instead of assigning a team

1132
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 2: grade for the entire draft, he handed out first round

1133
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 2: grades for each and every pick. His pick for the

1134
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 2: Bills did not get the best grade. To be quite

1135
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 2: honest with you, he gave it a C, which I

1136
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 2: think was one of the lowest grades in the entire

1137
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 2: first round. His line of thinking was as follows I'll

1138
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 2: read right from his column cbssports dot Com. He basically said,

1139
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: this is a strange pick when you consider they have

1140
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox and a few more pressing needs. Kiin Kaid

1141
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 2: is a good player, but the position doesn't make sense,

1142
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 2: and they trade it up to get him. I would

1143
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 2: argue that if you're looking at Kinkaid as a traditional

1144
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 2: tight end, I could understand why you would have that opinion,

1145
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 2: but that's not who Cincate is know. Dawson Knox is

1146
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 2: a y tight end. Kincaid is more of a flex

1147
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 2: tight end. And if you go and think at the

1148
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 2: beginning of the offseason, what a lot of people felt

1149
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 2: the Bills needed to add to this receiving core, was

1150
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 2: a true number two option in the passing game. Now,

1151
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people just naturally assumed that that was

1152
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 2: going to be a wide receiver, but that was not

1153
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 2: the case at all. It could be a tight end,

1154
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 2: and it proved to be after the value at wide

1155
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 2: receiver came off the board right in front of the

1156
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 2: Bills from pick twenty to twenty four in succession, one

1157
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 2: after the other. We're asking you at aoh threeh five

1158
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 2: fifty today, which side of the football you believe will

1159
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 2: look more different than it did last year. The offense

1160
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 2: with all the changes they made to personnel, or the

1161
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, which made some personnel changes,

1162
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 2: but also we'll have a play caller change as well,

1163
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 2: with Sean McDermott set to call the plays on the

1164
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. Let's go back to the

1165
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 2: phones at ATO three oh five fifty one eight eight

1166
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty that's the number to get

1167
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 2: on board, and there is an open line for you there,

1168
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 2: and we go to Mike in Eden. What do you

1169
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 2: got for us? Mike here on one Bill's Live.

1170
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 4: Hey, how you doing, guys good? I want to also say,

1171
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 4: real quick, Maddie, you're doing an outstanding job and it's

1172
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 4: been great to watch you evolve as a part of

1173
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 4: the Bills organization.

1174
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 2: I will pass that along to her.

1175
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so my question is so my thought on

1176
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 4: your question is I'm hoping it's the defense that will

1177
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 4: see different this year, and that's what I expect. But

1178
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 4: the offense, my question for you, is you know, from

1179
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 4: from your perspective and Maddie's perspective, how was Ken Dorsey

1180
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 4: last year? Because I'll tell you from our perspective, as

1181
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 4: just a regular fane who doesn't watch tape, who just

1182
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 4: watches the games, we weren't sure like was he good?

1183
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 4: Was he Okay? Was he was? He considered maybe underachieving,

1184
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 4: and we really struggle with who he is as an

1185
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator and I think a lot of us are

1186
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 4: wondering is he the guy for a team that's supposed

1187
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 4: to be a Super Bowl contender? So we'd love to

1188
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 4: hear kind of what you think of that.

1189
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Mike, before I answer that, you said you believe

1190
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 2: the defense will be more different next year. What way

1191
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 2: do you want it to be more different?

1192
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously the obvious answer is a little more aggressive, Right.

1193
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 4: We'd like to see the opposing quarterbacks.

1194
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 10: On the ground a little bit more.

1195
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 2: Gotcha?

1196
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 5: And we all.

1197
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 4: Understand Vaughn wasn't there, but you know, we were looking

1198
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 4: for more from Rousseau and bash him and definitely you

1199
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 4: know others. But you know, as the season progressed, he

1200
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 4: kind of believed it wasn't going to happen.

1201
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get it. Okay, fair enough, all right,

1202
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 2: let me answer that, Mike, and thanks for the call.

1203
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 2: Offensive side of the ball. Was Ken Dorsey good last year?

1204
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 2: I think for a guy who was doing it for

1205
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 2: the first time at the NFL level, I think he

1206
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 2: did pretty darn good. I think the production numbers speak

1207
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 2: to that. And yes, he had a talented team. But

1208
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 2: let's not forget the veteran receiver of the group was gone,

1209
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Sanders. So too was Cole Beasley. So those are

1210
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 2: the two most veteran receivers in the corps subtracted from

1211
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 2: the offensive unit. They thought Gabe Davis and Isaiah Mackenzie

1212
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 2: were ready to step up into those number two and

1213
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 2: three roles, respectively, and then they had Jamison Crowder as

1214
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 2: veteran insurance. Well, they lose the veteran insurance week four

1215
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 2: for the rest of the season. And Davis has a

1216
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 2: tough catch rate year. His catch rate was around fifty

1217
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 2: two percent. That's near the bottom of the league. That

1218
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 2: didn't help the team was second in the league. And

1219
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 2: drop passes that's not on the offensive coordinator. And the

1220
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 2: run game kind of sputtered here and there through the

1221
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 2: course of the season, and turnovers were a major issue,

1222
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 2: more so than they had been in recent years, particularly

1223
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 2: red zone turnovers, which quite literally took points off the board.

1224
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 2: Despite all those things working against Ken Dorsey as a

1225
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 2: play caller, they were still second in the league in scoring,

1226
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 2: led the league in third down conversions, and were ninth

1227
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 2: in the league in red zone touchdown percentage. So I

1228
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 2: think with a lot of things working against him, you

1229
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 2: had an offense that was still scoring more points than

1230
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 2: thirty other teams in the league. The only team that

1231
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 2: scored more points in the Bills were the team that

1232
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs. So not

1233
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 2: the Eagles, you know, not the Niners, not the Bengals.

1234
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 2: So I think Ken Dorsey, for his first year calling

1235
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 2: the plays, did a very good job. And I'm the

1236
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 2: thing that I'm most encouraged about was now that he

1237
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 2: has a year under his belt, I think he has

1238
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 2: a better feel for what he believes will work within

1239
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 2: the scope of this offense, what he has to change

1240
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 2: because he has his own play calls to go off of,

1241
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 2: if you know what I'm saying. So for my money,

1242
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 2: I think that this year will be even more fruitful

1243
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 2: than last year. Was from a production perspective, because he's

1244
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 2: going off his own play calls and how he changed

1245
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 2: things from series to series against a given opponent, what worked,

1246
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:54,439
Speaker 2: what didn't work, who it worked with, who didn't step

1247
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 2: up to the plate to make it work. And I

1248
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 2: think he can play off of what he experienced the

1249
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 2: first year is play caller to be an even more

1250
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 2: effective one in year two. You know, and I tend

1251
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 2: to agree with you. I'd like to see the defense

1252
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 2: be more aggressive, and I think we will because that's

1253
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott's track record from Carolina and even Philadelphia when

1254
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 2: he first started as a play caller. You know, let's

1255
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 2: not forget that Sean McDermott learned about defensive football x'es

1256
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 2: and o's at the elbow of Jim Johnson, the late

1257
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator of the Eagles, who was uncommonly aggressive. So

1258
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: I think if you're asking for more aggressive play calls

1259
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball this year, I

1260
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 2: think you're gonna get it under McDermott. Not reckless, but

1261
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 2: I think this is a guy that knows how to

1262
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 2: pick his spots and when to be aggressive and put

1263
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 2: pressure on the opposing offense, and I think that's what's

1264
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 2: going to lay out in stark contrast to the way

1265
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 2: we saw this defense called under Leslie Fraser, who is

1266
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 2: a great coordinator in his own right. But as I

1267
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 2: said earlier in the show, I think Frasier, after having

1268
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 2: the number one defense in football in twenty twenty one,

1269
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 2: felt as though he did not have to be overly

1270
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 2: aggressive for this defense to be successful. I think he

1271
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 2: felt the talent level of the defense was so good

1272
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 2: that there was no reason for him to throw exotic

1273
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 2: looks at an opponent in a given week, or to

1274
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 2: turn up the heat on an opponent in a given week.

1275
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 2: And so I think by nature his play calling was

1276
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 2: relatively conservative. I think Sean McDermott is a guy that

1277
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 2: likes to spin the dial a little bit more and

1278
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 2: turn up the heat on teams. Throw him a curveball

1279
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 2: every few series, you know, again, not in a reckless fashion,

1280
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 2: but in it keep you on your toes kind of fashion,

1281
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 2: so you can't get comfortable and think, you know what

1282
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 2: this Bill's defense is gonna throw at you. That's what's

1283
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 2: most encouraging for me. We got to step aside here.

1284
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll see if we can reconnect

1285
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,600
Speaker 2: with Pete Prisco. If not, we'll just move right to

1286
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet and as met and so we'll step

1287
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 2: aside here and hit the tweet sheeet get some of

1288
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 2: your thoughts there on whether you think the offense or

1289
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 2: the defense is going to look more different for the

1290
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 2: Bills in twenty twenty three. Back in a minute here

1291
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo

1292
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 2: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1293
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 2: Chris Brown here with you, taking your phone calls at

1294
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 2: eight oh three oh five fifty one, eight eight eighty

1295
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,600
Speaker 2: five fifty two, five point fifty open line for you

1296
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 2: there as we are discussing with you, which side of

1297
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 2: the ball do you believe will look most different from

1298
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 2: that of last year? The offense or the defense in

1299
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 2: light of all the changes that have been made this offseason,

1300
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 2: both in free agency and in the draft. So let's

1301
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 2: go to the phones and leading us off in this

1302
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,600
Speaker 2: segment is Ron in north Tonawanda. What do you got

1303
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: for us? Ron? You're on One Bill's Live.

1304
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 10: Hi, Chris, how you doing today? Good?

1305
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 4: Just question?

1306
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 10: I think that the offense is going to look better

1307
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 10: only because of the guards we're bringing in and the

1308
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 10: type of running backs we've signed. I think they're going

1309
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 10: to lean more towards the run. I think Green Bay

1310
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 10: did it with Aaron Rodgers. They ran the ball quite

1311
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 10: a bit and threw the ball. And also I think

1312
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 10: the gentleman that's going to be coming on from CBS

1313
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 10: is correct. I think we should never took Kincaid with

1314
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 10: the first pick, only because that was more of a

1315
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:36,759
Speaker 10: luxury pick, because we have lots of receivers like Kansas

1316
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 10: City lost Tyreek Hill. I know they have Kelsey, but

1317
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 10: we have Digs and they may do with other receivers.

1318
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 10: I think they should have took who was rated higher

1319
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 10: overall in the draft was Nolan Smith the linebacker, comparing

1320
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 10: him to Von Miller and everything. And they did a

1321
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 10: projection overall on these draft picks and a chance to

1322
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 10: make the Pro Bowl are all pro For Kim Kaid

1323
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 10: was twenty five to thirty percent. Nolan Smith. They projected

1324
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 10: for him to make the Pro Bowl. They gave him

1325
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 10: like a sixty to sixty five percent chance. I think

1326
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 10: they really should have went defense.

1327
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeahs I understand the argument, Ron and I get it,

1328
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,600
Speaker 2: and I watched. Don't get me wrong, I watch a

1329
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 2: lot of Georgia football, and so I feel like I

1330
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 2: have a pretty good handle on those players. Look, Nolan

1331
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 2: Smith is a bendy athlete, ridiculously fast. I mean the

1332
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 2: guy ran a four to thretey nine at the combine.

1333
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 2: His straight line speed is otherworldly for somebody that goes

1334
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty eight pounds. But I think the

1335
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 2: weight is a little bit of an issue. Now. That's

1336
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 2: not to say he can't put weight on and on

1337
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 2: that defensive front with so much beef up there, he's

1338
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 2: just going to be able to come flying off the

1339
01:12:58,280 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 2: edge for the Eagles, and I think he will be

1340
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 2: a successful player for them because of all the other

1341
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 2: talent they have assembled on the defensive side of the ball,

1342
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 2: you can't double team everybody. I think the only concern

1343
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 2: with him is how does he fit up the run,

1344
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 2: particularly as a four to three end, and if memory serves,

1345
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 2: I believe Philly is still playing a four to three front.

1346
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 2: I thought his best fit was as a three to

1347
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 2: four outside backer, where you could stand him up on

1348
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 2: the line wide. He has the athleticism to drop into coverage.

1349
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 2: He actually showed that at Georgia, so I always thought

1350
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 2: he was a better fit for three to four front

1351
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 2: so I didn't really have a radar lock on him,

1352
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 2: and I think some other four to three teams shared

1353
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 2: that same concern, which is why he was still on

1354
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 2: the board at thirty. He is a tremendous value for

1355
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 2: the Eagles down there. I just don't know if he's

1356
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 2: an ideal scheme fit. But when the tools are that

1357
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 2: tantalizing and you're picking at thirty, I guess you feel

1358
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 2: comfortable taking that risk, especially when you already have Jalen

1359
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 2: Carter in the bag. It's easier to take a risk

1360
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 2: on a guy that may not be a scheme fit

1361
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,640
Speaker 2: per se. But we can agree to disagree on that.

1362
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:25,679
Speaker 2: As for Kincaid, I've said it already. I just think

1363
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:29,719
Speaker 2: that you have to look at him as a pecking

1364
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 2: order weapon in the offense. And while he may not

1365
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 2: ascend to be the number two target in this offense

1366
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 2: as a rookie, I could definitely see this guy catching

1367
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 2: eighty ninety balls a season in a year or two

1368
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 2: that I think he can be that dynamic a weapon

1369
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 2: in this offense. And I think some of us got

1370
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 2: tunnel vision when we said they need a proven number

1371
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 2: two weapon in this offense. Everybody automatically just thought receiver

1372
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 2: one track mind kind of thing, and I'll be the

1373
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 2: first to admit I was guilty of it. But then

1374
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 2: as I was looking at the first round and how

1375
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 2: low the Bills were picking, and this is why I

1376
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 2: asked Brandon Being this question at the NFL combine, I

1377
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 2: was concerned they were gonna miss the receiver run. Sitting

1378
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 2: down there at twenty seven and knowing the tight end

1379
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 2: class was as strong as it was, I asked him

1380
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 2: at the combine, do you think it would be hoove

1381
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 2: a team down there if the receiver value isn't there

1382
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 2: and they still want a weapon to pivot to the

1383
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 2: tight end class. And he didn't dismiss it. He said,

1384
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 2: what we are looking for above everything else is a

1385
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 2: mismatch in the passing game, and Dalton Kincaid is that

1386
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 2: he is an elite mismatch weapon in the passing game.

1387
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 2: And so with receiver value off the board, I thought

1388
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 2: it was in astute pivot by Bean to go in

1389
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 2: that direction and still fill the need that this offense

1390
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 2: arguably needed more than any other, especially after you already

1391
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 2: bolstered the offensive line with some free agent pickups at

1392
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,680
Speaker 2: the guard position, as you alluded to, and then you

1393
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 2: double down and still get more value on the offensive

1394
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 2: line anyway. You know Cyrus Torrents in the second round.

1395
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 2: So that's why I was totally cool with the King

1396
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 2: Kate pick. He's going to be a difference maker. I

1397
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,560
Speaker 2: book it. Now, let's go back to the phones and

1398
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 2: we go to Frank in Woodstock. What do you got

1399
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 2: for his? Frank? You're on one Bill's Live.

1400
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 6: Thank Chris. I got a couple of things.

1401
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1402
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 6: Offense, offense is good. Offense is gonna be your lady guttell.

1403
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 6: I think they're gonna be all fresh, new heads on

1404
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 6: your shoulders, and that running ball is gonna help. And Chris,

1405
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 6: you gotta do me a favor. They're killing me down

1406
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 6: here with the Jets and Aaron Rodgers. I'm in Woodstock.

1407
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 6: I'm on my own here, Chris. Yeah, they think he's

1408
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 6: the best thing since sliced bread. I know, I know

1409
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 6: it's crazy, but anyways, I still love my Bills, longtime fan.

1410
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 6: Can't wait for tickets to come out, and I know

1411
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 6: we're going to give him hell. And Josh is going

1412
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,759
Speaker 6: to be himself again. We're going to be putting thirty

1413
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 6: forty points on the board and have a running Dame.

1414
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1415
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 6: And that kid, Dalton Dale. Dylan was a great pick

1416
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,599
Speaker 6: and I think he's going to be a first year

1417
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 6: and show us then he's good for thirty forty catches.

1418
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 2: Okay, that's it, Chris, all right, love you guys.

1419
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 6: I listen to you all the time.

1420
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 2: Take care and be safe, all right, Thanks, Frank, keep

1421
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 2: flying the flag down there. You're in an unholy land

1422
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 2: in Jets and Giants country for sure. And you know,

1423
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 2: I know it's tough for Bills fans to hear about Jets, Jets, Jets,

1424
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 2: and it's going to only continue because Aaron Rodgers is

1425
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 2: such a polarizing figure. And when you win four MVPs,

1426
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 2: I guess you deserve that kind of attention. They think

1427
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 2: he is the savior. I'm very interested to see how

1428
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 2: things play out. I think he unquestionably makes them better,

1429
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 2: but I don't know that he makes them a Super

1430
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:17,120
Speaker 2: Bowl contender. I guess we'll find out. And then to

1431
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:21,759
Speaker 2: your point about the run game and the offense being different,

1432
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 2: my biggest curiosity lies in how that run game is

1433
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:30,640
Speaker 2: going to be utilized. Is it only going to be

1434
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 2: utilized as a means by which to close out games

1435
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 2: in which they are ahead on the scoreboard, or might

1436
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:41,639
Speaker 2: there be given weeks against given opponents where the run

1437
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 2: game is the catalyst and the past game plays off

1438
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 2: of that. That would definitely be a major switch in

1439
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 2: how this offense approaches opponents each and every week. Josh

1440
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 2: is the clear catalyst, and we all understand why. I

1441
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 2: don't get the sense Ken Dorsey wants to move away

1442
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 2: from that. But will there be times in games, whether

1443
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 2: it's weather related or they're ahead on the scoreboard, where

1444
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 2: they turn to that and say, we're doing this for

1445
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 2: the next three series. I don't care if the defense

1446
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 2: knows it's coming. We're good enough to make it happen.

1447
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 2: And I think they are because to Frank's point and

1448
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 2: our previous caller, who I think was rich guard to guard,

1449
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 2: this team is as talented and deep as they have

1450
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 2: been in the McDermott bean era. In my opinion, You've

1451
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 2: got two proven starters in Connor McGovern and David Edwards,

1452
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 2: And David Edwards doesn't have a lockdown starting spot. He's

1453
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 2: going to be competing with the rookie Torrance and with

1454
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:45,719
Speaker 2: the incumbent Ryan Bates to get the right guard spot.

1455
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 2: So and then on top of that you have you know,

1456
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 2: the seventh round pick Nick Broker, who I think is

1457
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:55,599
Speaker 2: a better talent than a seventh round draft choice, who

1458
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 2: will probably fit in depth wise along with Ike Bucker

1459
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 2: who's back so so guard to guard. This is as

1460
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 2: deep as this team has ever been and I think

1461
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 2: that is going to make a difference in the run

1462
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 2: game as well. Let's get to the tweet sheet. We

1463
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 2: haven't cracked that open yet to see what your thoughts

1464
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 2: are there on which side of the ball you think

1465
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 2: is going to look most different for the twenty twenty

1466
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 2: three season in comparison to last year. Tweets sheet, as always,

1467
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 2: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1468
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 2: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Danny leads it

1469
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 2: so often he says clearly the offense kinkaid forty to

1470
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 2: sixty receptions and Torrents are key to expanding this offense

1471
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 2: even more. Gabe will be getting less receptions. The running

1472
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 2: game definitely will improve from last year. Bean has made

1473
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 2: a point to provide help for Josh and we will

1474
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 2: definitely see it. I think, as we've said before earlier

1475
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 2: this week when we were first dissecting the draft class,

1476
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 2: that Kincaid is going to represent. I think, at least

1477
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 2: in the earth early going, a lot of the easy,

1478
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 2: high percentage throws for Josh. You want to beat third

1479
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 2: and four, He's looking for Kincaid. You want to beat

1480
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 2: a third and seven blitz. Kincaid's gonna get open fast.

1481
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 2: Go to Kincaid. I think he's going to be the

1482
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 2: new easy button answer for Josh in a similar way

1483
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 2: that Beasley was. The Only difference is Kincaid provides an

1484
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:32,799
Speaker 2: added element to his passing game skill set that Beasley

1485
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,719
Speaker 2: did not have, and that is yards after the catch.

1486
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 2: Very often Beasley would catch the ball, get a couple

1487
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 2: of yards, find the sticks and get tackled or go

1488
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 2: down on first contact. Kincaid runs away from people. You

1489
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 2: heard him say it is press conference because, if you remember,

1490
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 2: because of his back injury, he didn't do any pre

1491
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 2: draft testing, not at the Combine, not at the Pro day.

1492
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 2: He was asked, what do you think you would have

1493
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 2: run in the forty and he said, I would run.

1494
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm confident I would run in the four fives. So

1495
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 2: you're talking about a six three and a half two

1496
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 2: hundred and forty six pound tight end running in the

1497
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 2: mid four fives. That's a guy that's going to get

1498
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 2: separation not only because of his speed, but because of

1499
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 2: his route running ability. And because of that, I think

1500
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 2: he's going to provide a lot of easy answers in

1501
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 2: the passing game between the numbers for Josh Allen. So

1502
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 2: now defenses have a decision to make you want to

1503
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 2: roll coverage over the top of Stefan Diggs and keep

1504
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 2: him from beating you. Fine, they have a weapon now

1505
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 2: in the middle of the field that can dice you

1506
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 2: up just as effectively. And then Torrance. It seems like

1507
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 2: there are a lot of Bills fans that believe that

1508
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 2: Torrance is going to end up being the starting right

1509
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 2: guard when all this said and done, and that could

1510
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 2: very well happen. We'll have to see how it plays out.

1511
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 2: We know that the Bills are generally slow to thrust

1512
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 2: rookies into major roles early, so I think Torrance would

1513
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 2: have to be pretty convincing through the course of training

1514
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 2: camp and the preseason to not only unseat the incumbent

1515
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 2: Ryan Bates, who's been there for the last two seasons,

1516
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 2: but to also outperform David Edwards, who comes to Buffalo

1517
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 2: as a three year starter from the LA Rams. So

1518
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 2: that's a big hill to climb. Not saying he can't,

1519
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 2: I'm just saying he's gonna have to be convincingly better

1520
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 2: to have that job. Week one, let's go to big

1521
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 2: Greedy on the tweet sheet, he says, I believe it

1522
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 2: will be the offense too, not because of our current

1523
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:42,559
Speaker 2: draft picks, but because the running game will be more

1524
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 2: cohesive than last year. Big year for Cook and company,

1525
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 2: go Bills. I find that the people that I come across,

1526
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 2: the thing that they are most excited about is the

1527
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 2: way in which the run game has, in their minds

1528
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 2: been upgrade. And I would tend to agree. I believe

1529
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 2: it's been upgraded as well. I think Cook is going

1530
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 2: to make a year one to year two jump and

1531
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 2: be even more consistent in delivering big plays for this offense,

1532
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 2: not only as a running back getting the ball handed

1533
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 2: to him, but coming out of the backfield to catch

1534
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 2: swing passes, screens and anything else you know, circle routes,

1535
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 2: whatever wheel routes. So that's number one. Number two I

1536
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:30,839
Speaker 2: think Damian Harris and even Latavius Murray will dramatically improve

1537
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 2: this team's ability to run between the tackles, and that

1538
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 2: will work in concert with the guard influx of talent

1539
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 2: that we just talked about. Those two things as a combination,

1540
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:45,639
Speaker 2: I think are going to make this team far more

1541
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 2: effective running between the tackles traditional power football, especially at

1542
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: the end of games. And I think that's a reason

1543
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,879
Speaker 2: because a lot of people when Osiris Torrance was drafted,

1544
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 2: there were some that said, h I don't know if

1545
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 2: he's a true Aaron Kromer type guard, you know, because

1546
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 2: coach Cromer at least I mean, don't get me wrong,

1547
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 2: Coach Cromer's coached just about every kind of offensive blocking

1548
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 2: scheme under the sun, so he can morphin change to

1549
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,600
Speaker 2: anything he wants. But I think more often than not,

1550
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 2: he prefers guards that can get out and move. And

1551
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Osiris Torrance can't do that at all.

1552
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 2: He can pull around the edge and do things like that,

1553
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,799
Speaker 2: but getting him out in space, you know, outside the numbers,

1554
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 2: not really his forte. I think he's here for that

1555
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 2: very thing, the power element of the run game. And

1556
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 2: so you combine the upgrades in Harris and Murray in

1557
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 2: terms of pushing the pile, running downhill, getting extra yards

1558
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 2: after contact. You know, the straight line type running. And

1559
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 2: you mix that with Cook, who's a total change of

1560
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 2: pace guy, along with the guard investment, and yeah, I agree.

1561
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 2: I think the run game will be considerably more consistent.

1562
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 2: Scott on the tweets sheet says defense, I think we

1563
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 2: will see more three linebacker or three safety looks and

1564
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,640
Speaker 2: much more blitzing. Now, this team did not blitz a

1565
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 2: lot under Leslie Fraser, even after von Miller left the lineup.

1566
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 2: I think they were in the mid twenties, low to

1567
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 2: mid twenties in terms of percentage of blitz, which was

1568
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 2: pretty low ranking definitely bottom third of the league. Do

1569
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:35,559
Speaker 2: they blitz more? I suppose it's possible. I think if

1570
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 2: there's one thing that Sean McDermott and Leslie Fraser share

1571
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 2: in an ideal world, they're getting pressure with just their

1572
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 2: front four, which enables them to obviously drop seven into

1573
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 2: coverage in passing situations. Now, that doesn't mean that Sean

1574
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 2: McDermott won't spin the wheel and throw an exotic look

1575
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 2: at an opponent here or there, and I think that's

1576
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 2: what we can expect to see more of the absence

1577
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 2: of Tremaine Edmonds in this defense, and knowing there will

1578
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:08,759
Speaker 2: be a new middle linebacker in it could also prompt

1579
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 2: some back seven shuffling in terms of personnel groupings. Is

1580
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:16,600
Speaker 2: Taylor Rap on the field maybe in place of a

1581
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 2: Taron Johnson if the opposing offenses running a guard at

1582
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 2: that guy on a poll play to wipe him out

1583
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 2: so he can't make a tackle with the line of

1584
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 2: scrimmage and then the running backs getting an automatic four

1585
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 2: or five before anybody else lays a hand on him, Well,

1586
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 2: then does Tyler Rap come on the field? Does a

1587
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 2: third linebacker come on the field? So I think your point,

1588
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:39,680
Speaker 2: Scott is well taken. There could very well be more

1589
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 2: three linebacker and three safety looks because even if you

1590
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 2: put think about this, people talk all the time about

1591
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 2: how Dorian Williams isn't two hundred and thirty pounds, how

1592
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard is barely two hundred and thirty pounds, and

1593
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:02,560
Speaker 2: you have lighter, quicker linebackers. So does that afford you

1594
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 2: the opportunity to put them on the field more often?

1595
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 2: Because if they are that light and that fast with

1596
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 2: that kind of coverability, How much different are they than

1597
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 2: having a third safety or are they tremendously different from

1598
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 2: tarn Johnson As a corner, they're only about twenty to

1599
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 2: twenty five pounds heavier. If their coverage abilities aren't all

1600
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 2: that different, what's the difference, right, let's close with this.

1601
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,719
Speaker 2: There is some good news on the bills stadium front.

1602
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 2: The Erie County Legislature gave its final approval to the

1603
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 2: Bill's new stadium agreement just this afternoon. They voted on

1604
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 2: it at two o'clock. It was a formality they were

1605
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 2: expected to approve it. They did, and so now construction

1606
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 2: on the stadium project across the street from US here

1607
01:28:55,920 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 2: on Abbott Road, can begin immediately. According to Executive VP

1608
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 2: and COO Ron Rakulla from the Bills, basically, light construction

1609
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 2: will begin at the start, but excavation will begin as

1610
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 2: early as June. Certainly some exciting times here in Orchard Park.

1611
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 2: We'll see you tomorrow at one
