Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: of the festivities. M Steve as lat was laughing earlier

15
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: because I am completely riveted to the World Cup draw,

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: which is happening right now as they're picking ping pong

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: balls out of ball out of bowls and cutter to

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: set them slow moving sports event. You will. It's worse

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: than baseball. It's slower than the oscars, it's slower than

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: the oscars. It is slower than curling. Yeah, it's slower

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: than Oh, there's no something. There's glaciers would have racing

22
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: stripes compared to the way this pace, this thing is

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: moving for those that might be interested. All we know

24
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: at this point is that the US is in the

25
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: same group as England. The other two teams in their

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: group have yet to be chosen. But I'm happy to

27
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: update everybody as we move along today. I know this

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: soccer isn't for everybody, but at this day and age,

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: most people have been exposed to a little bit of soccer.

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: Certainly it's a great youth sport here in America, but

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: we're nowhere near where Europe is with the with the

32
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: level of interest they have. I get it, and I'm

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: to me, I'm just glad. We're not embarrassed that we

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: didn't get in. You know, we made it in actually

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: seemingly fairly easily. All we had to do. You know,

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: we got to the last game. We just we couldn't

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: have this catastrophic collapse, right, and we're in. So that

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: was very nice. So we're kind of cruising in better

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: than we didn't get in the last one, and so

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: it's nice to be there, and I'm gonna I'm looking

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: forward to it because in certain off like my off

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: sport is anything other than football, right, and the off

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: sports I went the national team, women's national team, men's

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: national team, That's what I signed up there. And so

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: when the men's national teams are gonna play in this

46
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: World Cup, I'm gonna be there. Good, I'm gonna be there.

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: You gonna be on board. I am way, I am.

48
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be in cutter, No, I am on board,

49
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. Same thing with the women's national team.

50
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I am all about it. The Olympics, it's yeah. In fact,

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: I think for me, I didn't think about it till

52
00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: this very moment. For me, World Cup and for men's

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: and women's has surpassed in my interest level, has surpassed

54
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: the Olympics for the first time in my life. The

55
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: national soccer teams. Yeah, Steve, you're gonna make me cry

56
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: for the first time because I grew up and I

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: was there. I was. I was ten years old in

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two in Munich when all that stuff happened.

59
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: I was, you know, and then the sixty eight Olympics,

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I was just old enough to think wow, being cool

61
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: all of that. The seventy six Olympics in was Montre Montreal.

62
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: I was there for all of that, so it was

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: a big deal for me growing up, and then over

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: the decades it's it's faded because of the I think,

65
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: the way it's covered and the way we consume sports

66
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: twenty four seven now, so I think the Yeah, I

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: gotta be honest, I'm more interested in the and I

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: like the Olympics. Don't get me wrong. I'm not gonna

69
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: pooh pooh them. I they're great, but I'm my interest

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: now is women's and men's national team in soccer. I'm

71
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: kind of way into it because of the elevated nature

72
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: of the way. For my kids. They all played it

73
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: and I watched it. I got a little bit more

74
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: of an understanding and I get I get the world

75
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: stage of it. I'm kind of all about it. They

76
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: The only difference this year is this is a tournament

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: that is typically played in June, usually wraps up around

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: July fourth weekend. Can't do that in the middle. Cannot

79
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: do that in cutter where at that time of the

80
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: year it's one hundred and twenty degrees players would literally

81
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: pass out on the field. So the tournament doesn't begin

82
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: until late November. I believe it's the Monday, the Sunday

83
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving is when it starts, and it runs through

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: most of December. I think it might end right before Christmas.

85
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I want to say December twenty first is the final.

86
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a little bit different. And I

87
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I'm a little annoyed by it because

88
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: I'm used to having the open I'm used to having

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: a lighter schedule when the World Cup is on so

90
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: I can fully get fully invested. And now it's gonna

91
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: be during football season, so it's gonna be a little

92
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: harder to catch games and stuff. I imagine I'm gonna

93
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: be DVR and like you already have you know, people

94
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: chiming in talk starting to talk smack already. England's in

95
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: our group, I guess right, and Iran was Iran was

96
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: just added. Oh so Iran, I guess. Not a bad

97
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: group so far. No killers yet, so that's just Brazil

98
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: and like Germany, we could Germany get dropped in our laps. No,

99
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: Germany is already in with Spain, so that's good. And

100
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: Mexico and origin. It was in Mexico and uh Argentina

101
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: are in one group, which is kind of what it is. Basically,

102
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: it is the AFC West. You know gets this good. Well,

103
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: what they call it in the World Cup is the

104
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: Group of Death, the Group of Death. So yeah, we

105
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: dodged that seemingly. Yeah, so we'll see where it goes

106
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: from here. But i'll keep you posed to when the

107
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: group is finalized. Um, there are some interesting things that

108
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: happened in free agency after we got off the air yesterday.

109
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: Some big money is still being thrown around. Bobby Wagner

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: signs for five years fifty million dollars. Not bad for

111
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: a thirty two year old linebacker with the Rams. He

112
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: is an LA native, so he's going home quite literally

113
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: to play for the former NFC West rival of his Seahawks.

114
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: I doubt he's going to see all five years of

115
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: that deal, Steve, but his price Dad came down just

116
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: enough where the Rams could accommodate it. And knowing they

117
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: were willing to commit far more money to a guy

118
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: like Von Miller, they were able to come up with

119
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: the money for Bobby Wagner, who I think is a

120
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: pretty even now is still a pretty big impact player.

121
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's good, probably one of the best linebackers

122
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: of this generation. Here's the thing. When you play in

123
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: the NFL for a long time, you get better because

124
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: nothing surprises you. You just all over it. You see

125
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: things over and over again, year after year, you watch

126
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: your self on film, you learn things. So the more

127
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: experience you have, the harder it is to fool you,

128
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: and the better and the more out in front of

129
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: things mentally you become. The problem is, as we all know,

130
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: once you get to that point, you got nothing left

131
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: to help you play right, because you just get beat up.

132
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: But Bobby Wagner has been one of those guys that

133
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: has continued to play at a high level. And you know,

134
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: these guys you can just tell when you start even

135
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: watching film, and I remember when I played. You get

136
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: these guys. Oh my gosh, the guy's always right where

137
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: you don't want him to be. You know, Bobby Wagner

138
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: is one of those guys. And he's yeah, he's gonna

139
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: help the Rams. He's gonna help him. The Bills will

140
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: see him, obviously, because the Bills play the Rams. And

141
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm once von Miller signed with the Bills. I told

142
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out. I said, if the network executives

143
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: weren't asking for it already, and the league is under

144
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: a rock, they would be foolish not to have the

145
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: season kickoff game be Bills at Rams Week one Thursday

146
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Night Week one. Like that is that is the kickoff game,

147
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: because you know, you already had the Bills, who were

148
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: considered to be a true contender for the whole dang thing.

149
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: Last year, Josh Allen emerges as a truly elite talent,

150
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: one of the best three quarterbacks in football. And now

151
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: you take the guy who helped propel the Rams to

152
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl title in Von Miller, now on the

153
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Bills roster. I mean, there are just too many storylines

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: to ignore. That's got to be the kickoff game. And

155
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: I know we'll talk about that more when we get

156
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: closer to schedule release time in early May. But man,

157
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: that is now, that is a gimming as far as

158
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: you can say that. But the Rams have got a

159
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of good teams on their schedule and a lot

160
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: of teams, a lot of tasty matchups because of the

161
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: World champions for one thing. But they've also they're in

162
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: a competitive division and there's a lot of star power

163
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: out there. I mean they're probably they've got the chiefs

164
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: as well, so there's some, there's some. You know, certainly

165
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: the Bills are right up there. And it makes a

166
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: lot of sense on a lot of levels because the Bills,

167
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills in a lot of power rankings,

168
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: leap frog the Rams when they signed Von Miller. Let's

169
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: see that right out of the gate, right, I mean,

170
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, so yum, yum, gimme some yeah exactly. Um.

171
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: That just that's the old saying we have here on

172
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: the show. That's just like chocolate pudding and rub it

173
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: on my face, baby, let's go. So that is a

174
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: good ad though for the Rams, they're better because of that.

175
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: Then there's the curious, um curious case of Antonio Brown. Steve,

176
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: a guy that basically threw his uniform into the stands

177
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: late last year, ran off the field on his own volition,

178
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: and then was promptly released by the Bucks and we felt, ah,

179
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: this guy will never be seen again anywhere in the NFL.

180
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Now there is this Antonio Brown, who has claimed he

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: has had ankle problems now refus uses to get ankle

182
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: surgery prior to signing a contract with an interest in

183
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: NFL club. I don't know if his agent's phone is

184
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: actually ringing, but apparently he thinks there's enough interest in

185
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: him where he can wait on ankle surgery until after

186
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: he signed for a guy that's got as many warts

187
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: and off the field issues as he has to delay

188
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: his own return to one hundred percent health. It's just

189
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: another thing. It only convinces me all the more this

190
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: guy is still riding the crazy train here. Yeah, yeah,

191
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: why would you not want to get one hundred percent

192
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: healthy to at least appeal to NFL teams that are

193
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: even given you the time of day with the light

194
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: of you're off field antics. I don't know why he's waiting,

195
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I do not know why he's waiting

196
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: to do that. Like, it doesn't make sense. It doesn't

197
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: make sense to me. Why would you lay that um

198
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: that surgery because nobody. I mean, the closer you get

199
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: to training camp, the more than you're not going to

200
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: be able to take part. Yeah, that's that's that's the

201
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: crazy train. And you know, he's got his own way

202
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: of doing things. He's got his own way. He marches

203
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: to the beat of his own drummer. As we all know,

204
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: and some of it seems to be out of step

205
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: with polite society, but we'll see um. The way he

206
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: left the league, he may have said goodbye to a

207
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: many any nu innumerable opportunities that are down the line

208
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: for him, or would have been down the line for

209
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: him when he threw his jersey off and walked off

210
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: the field in the middle of a game. In the

211
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: manner that he did, he closed the door and he

212
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: didn't just burn the bridge, he detonated it. So I'm

213
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if there is a team, given

214
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: the the flush nature of wide receivers in the National

215
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Football League and at the rate that they are being

216
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: produced by the college ranks, that anybody has time for

217
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: that headache. And that's what it would be to me,

218
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, I just I think that I would be

219
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: I think the ship's sailed. I would if I'm an

220
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: owner of an NFL team and my GM head coach

221
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: comes to me and says and points the finger at Antoni,

222
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: says that's our guy, I would I would tell them

223
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: in that moment, you are on thin ice, not just

224
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: with that pick, but with the rest of your responsibilities.

225
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: You can't even consider that to me. But I've never

226
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: I've never had that kind of power over anybody, So

227
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know, but I don't think

228
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: he'd take that chance. I think that is an enormous

229
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: roll of the dice. And if you think that's strange

230
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown, we can do you one better. Because,

231
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: at age forty eight, Terrell Owens has decided that he's

232
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: going to try to play football in some way, shape

233
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: or form. He's coming out of retirement to play in

234
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: the Fan Controlled Football League, which was a league that

235
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: got off the ground last year. And I'm not going

236
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: to pretend to know everything about this league, but it

237
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: is considered a professional league. So the league debuted last year.

238
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: He's joining a team that includes, of all people, Steve

239
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: Johnny Manzil. It's seven on seven football. Fans call the

240
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: plays and make the rosters. Teams in the league play

241
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: a seven week schedule and the games are streamed on

242
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: Fubo TV, and all the games are held in the

243
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: state of Georgia. Games last about an hour. Fields fifty

244
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: yards by thirty five yards ten yard end zones, and

245
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: the league has doubled from four teams to eight. Here

246
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: in the second season, So Owens wants to prove. I mean,

247
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: we've seen the social media video Steve of him running

248
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: forty times. Oh he's running. He's still running four four

249
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: five or whatever. So we shall see, um what comes

250
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: of it. But right, um, yeah, I'm not Does anybody care?

251
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: Is the question. I don't want to watch seven on seven.

252
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. Um, it's fun, it's but

253
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's it's it's more than it's more than

254
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: just a you know, a weekend hockey league for for

255
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: guys over forty. You know, it's not that, because they

256
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: do have some athletes out there, but it's and it's

257
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: not quite beach volleyball, you know that kind of thing. Um,

258
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't, I don't care. I mean, I'm

259
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: I think it's good for you. More power too. I

260
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: guess if he can do he's always in great shape

261
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: and you're in shape, congratulations. I am not so good

262
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: for you. If he can make it good, hey, I

263
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: hope he can make a living doing it, good for him.

264
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's just a call for attention.

265
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: And you know, let's let's leave it at that. We

266
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: go from one receiver to another to yet another. Did

267
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: you see Tyreek Hill has already put in a request

268
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: to be the team's punt returner for the Dolphins in

269
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: addition to being the receiver. Yeah, I did see that.

270
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: That makes sense to me. That could be a headache

271
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: for the Bills in terms of their coverage units as

272
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: we know. But I think there's gonna be a healthy

273
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: competition there because you remember who their punt returner was

274
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: last year was Jalen Waddle. Yeah he's good, he's pretty good,

275
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: and he's fresh legs. But yeah, maybe you have him

276
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: split time. How did you do that out there? If

277
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: you got guys up front, you can put them both

278
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: back there and take it, you know, and use them

279
00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: that way. Tyreek is Punting the ball to him is

280
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: a problem because when he catch, he can outrun the

281
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: angles and you've got to have eleven guys on the

282
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: coverage unit that know how to him a guy who's

283
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: really really fast in Yeah, you gotta get out in

284
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: front of him, you gotta cut him off. You got

285
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: to force him to stop and go the other direction.

286
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: You got to use your teammates in a way that

287
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: you know allows them to him him in as well.

288
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: It's just a it's a real sheep dog mentality. When

289
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: you've got a fast guy like that out there, you've

290
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: got to kind of just hold your ground and keep

291
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: leverage on him, and you like, I'll almost have to

292
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: over the leverage and give him the cutback on you

293
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: rather than let him around the edge, and then you

294
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: got to rely on your other guys to fill the gaps.

295
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it takes a lot of practice, takes

296
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in your coverage teams, and if

297
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: you get the wrong kind of punt to him and

298
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: your punter makes a mistake, you're seeing what you're seeing

299
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: on the on the on the screen right now. I

300
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: mean he's flashing the peace sign, atch and he's going

301
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: to the end zone. Yeah, So I wonder how Mike

302
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: McDaniel's going to handle that, because you've got I mean,

303
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: when a new coach comes in, every every job is

304
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: open anyway. But Wattle did a nice job in that

305
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: role for the Dolphins last year, and he's he's no

306
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: slow guy. He runs a four to three nine, you know.

307
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: So to me, I think that's an interesting decision to

308
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: be made there, And I think there's also the element

309
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: of overtaxing one or the other. You don't want to

310
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: overtax one of those guys and have him Stoinka hamming

311
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: or something, you know what I mean, right, So I'll

312
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: be interested to see how McDaniel handles that decision because

313
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: you have two pretty talented guys and maybe you split

314
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: the difference and have him switch off. Makes it harder

315
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: for opponents to prepare for because now you gotta worry

316
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: about two guys instead of one guy. Yeah, and there's

317
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: really it's hard to at this level, it's hard to

318
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: not consider who's back there when you're punting, no matter

319
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: who it is, which whatever team it is, because every

320
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: team's got a couple of guys that does it. Even

321
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. You got Isaiah McKenzie, got Mark Quest Stevenson.

322
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: Those guys are a little different. Of course, then you

323
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: got Micah Hyde. He's a little different when he goes

324
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: back to field punts. So you've got those considerations as

325
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: you're preparing to play the teams, and you've got to

326
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 1: have a plan or at least a thought process for that.

327
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: And obviously Tyreek Hill changes that in a dramatic way

328
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: if he's back there and is a consideration. So that

329
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: is NFL News and Notes, and today, obviously being Friday,

330
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,200

Speaker 1: cornerback prospects with us. He's been crunching the film for

340
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: the past week and kind of shed some light on

341
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: what he thinks on some of the better cornerback prospects

00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,040

00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: Hey staring, Yeah, it's nice to talk to you guys. Well,

352
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: I went on the Bill's website to see the latest

353
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: news and there's a picture of a uniform and a

354
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: helmet with the chicken wing design, right, so that that's

355
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: got to be an April Foods joke, you think, is he?

356
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: I think? Okay, Well, you're you're you're too you're too

00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: smart for us. We couldn't fool you on a fool's day.

358
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: We did get some people. We did get some people.

359
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: It was pretty funny. The outrage was real for a minute.

360
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: So for those that don't know, For those that don't know,

361
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: and thanks for the call, is he? For those that

362
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know, our social media department on Twitter and I'm

363
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: assuming Instagram put up a tweet earlier today saying new

364
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: uniforms for twenty twenty two. There are city uniform addition

365
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: and it's basically chicken wing color numbers and accent colors

366
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: with a black jersey and a helmet with a charging

367
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: buffalo that is wing like with a streak of blue cheese.

368
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah down the side where tell you what they did

369
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: a nice job with it. I'll say that. So a

370
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: couple of people got totally do the best. The best

371
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: part of it is Twitter was true to its outrage

372
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: in its nature. I mean, it reacted violently in immediate

373
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: before for anybody looked at the calendar. So there was

374
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: a couple of screenshots you could get of the outrage

375
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: about the bills going to black and orange and chicken

376
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: wing logos. It was that's pretty good. I enjoyed. And

377
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: you knew it would happen because that's just the way

378
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 1: it is out there. But you're always going to get somebody, right.

379
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: It's great. It was absolutely great. They got a few

380
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: people pretty good on that with the quote unquote city uniform.

381
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: So all in good fun, all in good fun. Everybody

382
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: gets duped some some April fools, inevitably. Let's go back

383
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: to the phones. We go to Sean and Lackawanna next.

384
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: What you got for a Sean? Hey guy, he's doing

385
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: good evening. Uh you know, I hear Vegas right now

386
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: has Buffalo and then Tampa Bay in the rankings for

387
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. How much does that mix up things? If

388
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Brady does get traded to Miami, I hear Rumorville. I

389
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: mean you got Wattle Tyreek Hill, and then you throw

390
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: in Brady. I want Miami opening game Brady and getting traded. Yeah,

391
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's getting moved at all. That's in

392
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: April first. Yeah, there were well, there were rumors before

393
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: today about Brady potentially being on the move to Miami,

394
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: and everybody and anybody that was asked at the owner's

395
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: meetings flatly denied it. We know that's not necessarily said

396
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: in stone when people say that, stranger things have happened,

397
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: and with the offseason we've had in this league, I

398
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: guess you can't rule anything out, Sean, but I would

399
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: be very, very surprised if that's what took place. And

400
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: I say that from this standpoint, primarily Brady has resigned

401
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: with the Bucks, came out of retirement, and then we

402
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: just saw Bruce arians move upstairs to the front office.

403
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: And part of what he said yesterday intrigued me. He said,

404
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: once I knew Tom was coming back, I thought that

405
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: I was leaving the team in good hands to hand

406
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: off to Todd Bowles. So I really would be I'd

407
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: really be surprised if he went anywhere. But I have

408
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: seen those same rumors out there Sean, so you're not

409
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: out of line with him rodul At, let's hope not.

410
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to play him again twice. Yeah, amen

411
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: to that, brother, Thanks for the call. Have a good weekend.

412
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: We move on from Sean to Bob in Buffalo. Bob,

413
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills live. Yeah,

414
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm here, guys, go ahead. I had a

415
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: couple of questions for you. Yeah, One is what's your

416
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Bills possibly drafting a punter a third

417
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: fourth round this year, coming up with a gam light

418
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: they did with Bass And the other one I'd like

419
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: to hear to your feedback. I don't know how much

420
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: you guys had a chance to follow it given the

421
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: game times, but there was a very great lack of

422
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: the media coverage for the US Paralympics this year. It

423
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: was about a month ago or so. Yet the Canadian

424
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: media did a great, great job, especially considering there was

425
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: some first for the US Paralympians and the fact that

426
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: they won their four straight men sled hockey gold medal

427
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: with a five from one large the Canadian team. Yeah, yeah,

428
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: thanks Bob, Yeah, no problem, Bob, Thanks for the call.

429
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: I'll say first, on the subject of drafting a punter,

430
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: I think it is entirely possible that the Bills use

431
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: one of their picks on a punter. I think it's

432
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: coming on Day three if it happens. I don't think

433
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna be using a third or fourth round draft

434
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: choice on a punter. I know there are some pretty

435
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: good ones in this year's pool, well this, but I

436
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, Tyler Bass was a sixth round

437
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: pick and he's an all world kicker as far as

438
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. There, I think this kid called the punk God.

439
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: What's his heights or something? I can't remember his name,

440
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: Matt Ariaza or Ariz Yes, Um, I apologize, but he's

441
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: got a chance to get and picked high. Yeah, because

442
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: of like what'd I say, it's a nickname. Um. His

443
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: nickname will get him noticed and it will take if

444
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: it'll take the heat off the club for picking a punter,

445
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: like in the third round or the second round or

446
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: the fourth round, whatever he's picked. I've told Miss Brownie,

447
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: I have this argument in this theory that if you've

448
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: got an awesome nickname in the draft like Honey Badger

449
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: or Prime Time or the playmaker, or you name it

450
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: the bus. You know, Broadway Joe, if you've got a

451
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: if you've got an awesome nickname. In the NFL draft,

452
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: you're automatically getting picked at least around higher than you

453
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: normally would. So this punter has got a chance. I

454
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: don't know that the Bills are going to take him

455
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: that high, but this guy can go and he's he's

456
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: a testament to what has happened to the National Football League.

457
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: When you get guys of a certain positions who inspire

458
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: young kids to take it up at an early age,

459
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: and they get really good, and they they outshine the

460
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: guys that came before them, that are in the Hall

461
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: of Fame. That's the way life is, and that's in

462
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: the league is starting to see guys like that Shane Leckler,

463
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: for goodness sake, his numbers make Ray guys numbers look

464
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: pedestrian at best. But he was inspired by Ray Guy.

465
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. Those things happen, and now they're

466
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: they're still happening in the NFL this Yes, there could

467
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: be a punter taken in the mid rounds, maybe even higher.

468
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: We've seen kickers taken in the first round. We've seen

469
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: punters taken in the first round. It could happen this year,

470
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: could I don't think. I don't think the Bills. Bills

471
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: aren't taking anybody like that at twenty five. I'll say

472
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: that I don't think there'll be a punter or kicker

473
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: in round one. You want to talk about day two,

474
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: I'll listen, because there are some pretty accomplished punters. I

475
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: just don't see the punter. I don't see the Bills

476
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: putting that much stock in drafting a punter that high

477
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: because they don't intend to be punting all that much. Yeah,

478
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: I had to mention the fact that most teams are

479
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: punting less because more teams than ever went for it

480
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: on fourth down. Nobody, I mean nobody expects the Bills

481
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: to go out and not punt. I mean we although

482
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: we had a couple of games where they were close

483
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: this last year and late in the season. I get

484
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: all that, and it's fun, but yeah, they they need

485
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: a guy who can air it out and do it consistently.

486
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: They may take the guy if he's there at in

487
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: the fourth or the fifth, or the sixth, or the seventh,

488
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: or the fifth, six, seven, sixty seven, seventh, whatever whatever

489
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: round he's available. If they want him, because I'll tell

490
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 1: you this, he'll make the team if they if they

491
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: get him, he'll make the team, all right. And then

492
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: your other comment about the Paralympic Games, Yes, it does

493
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: not get enough coverage. I know that NBC did carry

494
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: it on some of their sister channels, like the USA Network,

495
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: and they had some other ones. I think they even

496
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: had some competitions on MSNBC, and it is very compelling.

497
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: I will tell you a story. When I was twelve

498
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: years old. The nineteen eighty four Olympic Games are obviously

499
00:27:55,080 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: in the US, they held the Paralympic Games. I don't

500
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: think they had a formal Paralympic Games at the same

501
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: Olympic site like they do now, But back then they

502
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: had the World Disabled Games the same time. Countries were

503
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: obviously represented sent representatives and athletes, and that year they

504
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: held it on Long Island, and my parents took me

505
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: and my sister to the World Disabled Games. I don't

506
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: know what spawn that. I remember I had just done

507
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: a school report on prosthetics. I had an uncle who

508
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: was a World War two vette lost part of his leg,

509
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: had a prosthesis, and so I think I don't know

510
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: my Mom was trying to kind of push that whole

511
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: thing at that time, and so we went and it

512
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: was I gotta tell you, it was entertaining. We were

513
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: watching wheelchair basketball and a bunch of other events and

514
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: the technology, like they didn't even have those blades that

515
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: they run on now, it's just a may h. The

516
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: competition level, and I you know, as a twelve year old,

517
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: I was. I was really taken by it. I enjoyed

518
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: the competition. I was into it. I would I remember

519
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: I was cheering alongside some Australian fans that were there.

520
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: I would learn their whole aus Aussi, AUSSI chant and everything. Um,

521
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: it's a cool deal and there are really really good

522
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: athletes performing in the Paralympics. There is no question about it.

523
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: And I believe, as he mentioned, one of the sled

524
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: hockey guys is a local right and they want again.

525
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: So that's great. Um yeah, I mean it doesn't get

526
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: the coverage it probably deserves, and it's unfortunate, but at

527
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: least I would and I don't. I don't know if

528
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: this is any consolation, but it's nice to know there

529
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: is an outlet for the people that want to support

530
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: it can go and watch and support it. I guess

531
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: is what I can't find it. So, yeah, it was

532
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: on the USA network. They carried almost everything wire to

533
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: wire because NBC paid for the rights to it, so

534
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna air it somewhere. They weren't airing it on NBC,

535
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: but they were airing it on Peacock, their streaming channel.

536
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: They were airing it on USA Network in a couple

537
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: of other places, and I did catch a little of

538
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: it when I was There is a slight difference when

539
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: you start watching Olympic sports and like golf, the golf stuff,

540
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: other sports like that. In the NFL, we get we

541
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: get in tune and I'd say this, uh, Bob. In

542
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, you got ESPN, CBS, NBC, the NFL network,

543
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: all these networks air it all the time. But when

544
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: you get into sports other than that, the one broadcast

545
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: entity in this case will be NBC. Nobody else will

546
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: cover it, and nobody else will even mention it because

547
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: they don't want to tell anybody else that it's on.

548
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: And another thing, so the rest of the media outlets,

549
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: aside from NBC and Peacock, they won't even talk about

550
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: it because the rights are with another with another entity,

551
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: so they won't give it a commercial, so people will

552
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: leave their platform and go over and watch it on

553
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: NBC or Peacock. So when you get into other sports,

554
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: not like football, the conversation is limited to the only

555
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: to the network that it's on. The same thing with PGA,

556
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: CBS is the only people who will talking about the PGA,

557
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: golfer the Masters. Now you've got ESPN involved in that,

558
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: but you can see the difference when you get the Paralympics.

559
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: Only one entity is covering it and they're doing a

560
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: nice job of it, but no other entities will talk

561
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: about it. That's why the media coverage is what it is.

562
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes you feel like it's left out, and the reason

563
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: is they don't want to cover it on behalf of

564
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: NBC on their network. So that's a little bit of

565
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: the conflict you get when those with other sports entities

566
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: that you don't get with the NFL. Yeah, well you

567
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: have to take a break here when we come back.

568
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: More of your phone calls, Gary on a Seale and

569
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: others holding an eighth three five fifty hang table will

570
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: get to you when we return here. On One Bill's

571
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: Live presented by Collid to Health it's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

572
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve

573
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: Tasker with you for those of you that are interested.

574
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: The World Cup draw is over and the US is

575
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: in Group B with England, Iran and then the European

576
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: playoff winner, which is a little convoluted right now. There

577
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: are supposed to be two teams that were slated to

578
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: square off in a playoff in June, but they don't

579
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: have one of the finalists yet to play against Wales.

580
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: One of those two teams will advance to play Wales

581
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: and then the winner of that game will join the

582
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: Group B in the World Cup. So Wales is awaiting

583
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: the winner of Scotland versus Ukraine. So now you know

584
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: why that game is postponed because obviously Ukraine is in

585
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: the midst of a war of aggression on the part

586
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: of Russia, so there are some things to be ironed

587
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: out there. So it'll either be one of those one

588
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: of those three teams Wales, Ukraine or Scotland joining the

589
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: group with the US Iran in England in GROUPIE of

590
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: the World Cup, which will be played in November and

591
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: December later this year. Let's get back to the phones

592
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: here on an obl Friday fan mail bag, and we

593
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: go to Gary on a cell next, Gary, what do

594
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: you got for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey, guys,

595
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: how y'all doing doing good? I think I'm turning the

596
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: page to the draft. I'm sure you guys are too. Yes,

597
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: I want to think, ask you guys what you're thinking

598
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: parts positions. I got like four or five in my head.

599
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm taking four or obviously linebacker death, maybe a runner

600
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: if he's there and he's worked the draft pick not

601
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: in the first round, taking a second, third maybe, and

602
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: maybe some guard death. You know, I know we are

603
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: office lines pretty much at tack, but you know you

604
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: can always use office a lineman, right, I want to

605
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: know what you guys think. Yeah, you guys are thinking.

606
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: First off, Gary, I'm gonna suggest that you listen to

607

611
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl and has really plugged in. He was a

612
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: scout for eighteen years in the league, had some really

613
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: good stuff to offer on that subject. So I'll point

614
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: you there, but I'll also help you now, and I

615
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: would tend to agree with most of what you laid

616
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: out there. I think that the Bills do want corner

617
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: and wide receiver depth at the very least because of

618
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: some of the talent that went out the door, Emmanuel Sanders,

619
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley. They did resign Isaiah McKenzie, and they got

620
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder in free agency, but I think they still

621
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: want I get the sense they still want something else

622
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: to add to that mix. Maybe not at the top

623
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: of the draft, but at some point. And then Steve

624
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: and I have talked a lot about they do need

625
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: a corner because they haven't added a veteran corner and

626
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: free agency after losing Levi Wallace, so that would seem

627
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: to spell from a number standpoint, a need to add

628
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: somebody there. But interior O line though. Steve too they

629
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: could go for an interior offensive lineman, either for either

630
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: for depth or to compete for the off guard spot

631
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: away from Saffold, the guy they just signed, And I agree,

632
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, sure, running back later in the rounds,

633
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: linebacker later in the rounds. Okay, I'm all about a corner.

634
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: And this is how the roster sits today. This is

635
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: April first, and they got we got another month of

636
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: free agency, and there's guys like Patrick Peterson just signed

637
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: a one year deal with Minnesota. A guy like that

638
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: like Patrick Peterson could would have been a great addition,

639
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: I think for this group, because he's an incredible athlete,

640
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of and he had a lot of experience,

641
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: and I think he's still got some gas in the tank.

642
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: He'd be he'd add a credible option away from Tredavious

643
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: White and some depth a guy like that. So we

644
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: don't have a guy like that, and we may sign one.

645
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna be signing one right now. We don't know

646
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: about it. But as the roster sits right now, I

647
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: think corners the number is at twenty five, and maybe

648
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: if they trade up it's to get a corner that

649
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: they like. Then I go wide receiver and into your

650
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: offensive line. It's corner, wide out into your line that

651
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: those are my three. And the only reason I say

652
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: wide out is because there's numbers there. There's guys there

653
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: that can make a difference. And I think when you

654
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: get down into day two, late day two, and Day

655
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: three of this draft. I don't know if there's gonna

656
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: be an NFL player in the college ranks who is

657
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: good enough to come in and walk onto the Buffalo

658
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: Bill's roster super Bowl favorites and make it. And if

659
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing that, I want guys in this draft who

660
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: can walk out and maybe contribute at some point during

661
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: the season. You need guys that can play. And I

662
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: don't know that in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh

663
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: round we got two sixths. I don't know that you

664
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: can get guys after one hundred and thirtieth in this

665
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 1: draft that can make a difference. So you know, take

666
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: all those picks, bundle them up and move from twenty

667
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: five to ten or to fifteen, and just know that

668
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: the guy from one hundred and thirtyth on down there's

669
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a hard road to make the squad. Yeah,

670
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: So for me, that's my strategy to get take a

671
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: swing on a couple of guys who've got the physical

672
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: traits to play in the National Football League for the

673
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, because once you get down past one thirty,

674
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: this roster is too deep and talented for some guy

675
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: in the fifth is Matt Milano is not going to

676
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: come out of this draft. Matt Milano is not gonna

677
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: come out. You're not gonna find a guy in the

678
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: fifth round of this draft is gonna come out and

679
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: play like Matt Milano has a Pro Bowl level. There's

680
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: a starter. Like, Yeah, that's right, now, how do you

681
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: know that? I just think our roster is too good.

682
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: Oh you're saying to come here and do that, to

683
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: come here and do that, Okay, I don't think. I

684
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: think the roster here in Buffalo is too good. You

685
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: may get a guy who's a guard who could come

686
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: in and do that, but I think you're you know,

687
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: you're looking for that higher in the draft anyway. So

688
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: that's my thought. I'm with you totally. Gary. That's a

689
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: good call. By the way, I am. I am at corner, wide, receiver, interior,

690
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: offensive line in that order. But once you get past

691
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: the first three picks of this draft, and now I'm

692
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 1: talking about Buffalo Bills drafts, you know the eighty ninth

693
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: pick is the third pick. I don't know if you're

694
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna find anybody that can play, that can make the

695
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: squad of fifty three. They're talking about receiver depth. You

696
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: could get a starting caliber player as late as round four. Now,

697
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: I know you've got talent here, but if that's the case,

698
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: you might have some pretty good players you can land there. Okay,

699
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: but Gary also mentioned running back and linebacker depth, and

700
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: I would agree wholeheartedly. On the linebacker depth issue. We

701
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: got to remember Tremaine Edmonds is in his walk year,

702
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: this is the last year of his deal, and will

703
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: the Bills salary cap structure support giving someone like Dawson

704
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: Knocks a contract extension, presumably giving a contract extension to

705
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs who is now grossly underpaid, among other things,

706
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: and then pay Tremaine Edmonds a job in second contract

707
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: on top of it. I don't know if they can

708
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: get all that done, So you may need to get

709
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: a linebacker and in the pipeline sooner rather than later.

710
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: Gary also mentioned running back. You know some kind of

711
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: difference maker that is a significant upgrade from somebody like

712
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. I don't, And he said he wouldn't do

713
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: it in the first round. I probably wouldn't either. Um,

714
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: But I guess if the cupboard's bear in terms of

715
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,959
Speaker 1: value across your position board, and you got a first

716
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: round backstair and at you. Maybe you consider it at

717
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: twenty five, but I'd be more inclined to look in

718
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: round two, round three somewhere there if you feel you

719
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: can get in every down back that can pick up

720
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: the blitz and know his pass protection, which is probably

721
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: more important than anything else with your quarterback being Josh Allen.

722
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones and we go to

723
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: Sean in Niagara Falls. We got first Sean how well,

724
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: yeah for us? All right? So um, oh well, I'm

725
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: and all of those and refresh from my memory. Who

726
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: wants signed Quan Jones? Well you got ed Oliver de

727
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: Quan Jones, Tim Settle, Jordan Phillips. And then they resigned

728
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: the kid they picked up last year, Elianku, who gave

729
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: him some nice snaps down the stretch. But is it

730
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: rotational player at best? I'll give you that. And then

731
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: they have the practice squad kid, Brandon Bryant. So you

732
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: got six? Could you upgrade? Yeah? But I don't think

733
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: you're not in a positional emergency situation. I would say,

734
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: do you feel differently, I'm the only one on the

735
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: planet who watched Jordan Davis so bad. Yeah, I mean,

736
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: I get it. Um, there's no question he's a physical anomaly. Um.

737
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: I will say this, I don't think he's going to

738
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: be there at twenty five. I think he goes in

739
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: the top twenty somewhere. There will be concerns about his

740
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: endurance because he played only about half the snaps at Georgia.

741
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: And what teams, what opponents in college would do when

742
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: they saw him on the field is they would raise

743
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: the tempo. They'd go hurry up to get him gassed.

744
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: Two things. They'd raise the tempo and they'd throw it.

745
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: Because he has no pass rush, even at that size

746
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: and athleticism, he doesn't rush the passer well. So teams

747
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: would counter that by running the ball, by going fast

748
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: tempo offensively and then throwing the ball. Now obviously, and

749
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: he was also playing in you know, in front of

750
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: Davante Wyatt and some other jokers who were pretty darn good.

751
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: So he was on a really good team. And you're right,

752
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: he is a physical dude six six three forty two

753
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: and con scoot they ran a four seven eight. Yeah,

754
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 1: he's unbelievably athletic, and he like broad He long jumped

755
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: a ton too, So yes, he is all of that.

756
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: But there are questions about his motor and his pass

757
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: rush and keeping his weight down and keeping his weight um.

758
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: Georgia has made it clear they wanted him to play

759
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: it about three thirty and there was just no chance

760
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: he was more. He was closer to three fifty they

761
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: saw for most of his playing career. Yeah, his his

762
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: his family, his mom and whoever, you know, his whole

763
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna they go wherever he goes. And you know,

764
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anybody in his in his inner circle,

765
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: just just my impression. There's nobody in his inner circle

766
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: tells him no. So when he bellies up to the table,

767
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: they give him what he wants and he has a

768
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: hard time keeping his way. An nutritionist at Georgia working

769
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: with him on a daily basis, they was a constant

770
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: monitor effort. They could try to keep his weight, they

771
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: couldn't get enough. So he's got some self discipline issues

772
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: and that's never a good thing for a pro athlete,

773
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: especially a big one. We gotta take a break here,

774
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: Maria phone calls. Next it's one Bills Live. We'll see

775
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: in a second. All right, welcome back. It is an

776
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: OBIL Friday fan mail bag, taking your questions and calls

777
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: on the Bills, the league at large, the NFL Draft,

778
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: what have you, And we go right back to the

779
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: phones and joining us. Now is Rick in Plattsburgh? Rick,

780
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: what's going on? He's still got snow up there in Plattsburgh.

781
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm in Prattsburg, not Stratsburgh. Okay, Cratsburg's in the finger Lakes.

782
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: Yeah there you go, Okay, yeah, yeah, there you by

783
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: Kuka Lake. Yep, yeah, yeah, we it's snowing a little

784
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: bit at the grounds green, gotcha. I'm heading back to

785
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: Florida tomorrow, so it should be better. Oh God, bless you.

786
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: What you got for us? Yeah? Well, I just sitting

787
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: here listening to stuff on shoe and I think a

788
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: perfect trade would be Stefan or Edmunds to Dallas for Diggs.

789
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: It would save us big money and resigning him. I

790
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: think Diggs is still on his rookie contract. He wants

791
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: to play with his brother, take care of our need

792
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: for a cornerback. Draft the best linebacker coming out in

793
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: the first round, and I think we're set with two

794
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: rookie contracts and no big stade coming. Yeah. I bet

795
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: you are. And I'll bet Dallas to jump at that, right. No,

796
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. Dallas is not gonna No, I can't

797
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: see them parton with a corner that just got them

798
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: ten picks. Um last year, So that's that's right. Well no,

799
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: last season. Well yeah, but Diggs last year got him

800
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: ten interceptions. I think he led the league. Um, I

801
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: can't see them parting with that kid. That's number one.

802
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: And sorry, Rick, thanks for the call. We gotta get

803
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: rolling here pretty soon. Um. Part two. If you're the Bills,

804
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: this is not a trade that you make because you're

805
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: not improving the other position that's in desperate need of

806
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: an upgrade. You're okay right now at corner. I wouldn't

807
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: say you're set. But if you take Tremaine Edmonds out

808
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: of the equation in the middle of your defense, to

809
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: think you could plug a rookie in there and be

810
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: just as good, I think is a little foolhardy for

811
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 1: these reasons. One, the chance of finding an athletic freak

812
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: the level of Tremaine Edmonds hard to do. Two, he's

813
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: got to run your entire defensive scheme, which Edmonds has

814
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: called for each of the last four years, and to

815
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: have him and to expect him to execute it at

816
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: a high level in a go for it year, I

817
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: think is a little misguided, quite frankly, and so because

818
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: of those reasons, I don't think what you gain makes

819
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: up for what you lose. Yeah, it's it's a little

820
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: bit of a convolution. I don't There's no way Dallas

821
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 1: trades that corner digs, No way, no way for Tremaine

822
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: Edmunds or anybody else. He's going nowhere. He plays a

823
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 1: premier position in the NFL, came in as a rookie

824
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 1: and knocked it out of the park. He's not going anywhere.

825
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: Whether they can keep him beyond this year or not,

826
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere this year. I'd be very, very surprised.

827
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: You would have to really bowl the Bills over for

828
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: them to take the middle of their the middle piece

829
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,479
Speaker 1: in their defense. Forget, and I get it. Tremaine takes

830
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: some heat for the way he plays, and you know,

831
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't play in a normal old fashioned defense where

832
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: the guy runs to the runs of the ball, makes tackles.

833
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: He's a he's a pass defending linebacker. He can rush

834
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: the passer and drop into coverage. Run game, He'll can

835
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: go side to side, he'll run the guy down. But

836
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: he's rarely, you know, up in the backfield like guys

837
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: like people like to see. It's a different game now

838
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: and people are still getting used to why Tremaine Edmonds

839
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: is a starting linebacker in the NFL and not a

840
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 1: guy like Ray Lewis. He plays differently because he's asked

841
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: to play differently. So people and I get people say, yeah,

842
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: we'll trade Tremaine Edmunds for a B or C. It's

843
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: not that easy to replace that guy. Trust me, he's

844
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: been to the Pro Bowl multiple times because he's a

845
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: problem out there. Teams are troubled by his presence in

846
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: the Bills defense. Don't fool yourself. We have to take

847
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: a break here because when we return, we're going to

848
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: be joined by our good friend from NFL Films, Greg

849
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: co Sell, who has been crunching and grinding on the

850
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: tape cornerback prospects. We discussed with him next here on

851
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's

852
00:47:45,560 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been all over

853
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of a

854
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're

855
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: not even in the straded beer of normalcy. All right,

856
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: there we are our number two on a Friday, and

857
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: you know what that means. It means we're joined my

858
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: senior producer from NFL Films, Greg co Sell, to talk

859
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: a little bit about the draft prospects. Let's do it, Greg.

860
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Great? Guys? How are you? We're

861
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: doing all right? Cornerbacks is where we're headed this week.

862
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: And you know you've been grinding on those guys for

863
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: a little bit work in the tape, and you know

864
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener is widely considered the cream of the crop here. Um,

865
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: what my question to you is what do you think

866
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: makes him them of the crop? What part of his

867
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: skill set stands out the most? I think ultimately there's

868
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Number One, he's got great length.

869
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: He's almost sixty three, and he's range and athletic, and

870
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: we know that that tall, long range, athletic corners and

871
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: he's competitive are that's what everybody wants. If you could,

872
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: you know, draw it up, that's what everybody wants. So

873
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: he fits that profile exceptionally well. He's played a ton

874
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: of press man coverage because he was the boundary corner

875
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati, so he always played to the short side

876
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: of the field, so he played a ton of press man,

877
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: and he actually played almost zero man because they would

878
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: take the safety to that side, who's actually a very

879
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: good prospect himself, Brian Cook. He would be the boundary

880
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: safety and very rarely did he help Gardner. So Gardner

881
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 1: essentially played zero oh man coverage to the boundary. He's

882
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: super aggressive, super competitive. He played the two kinds of

883
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: press man, what we call mirror match press man where

884
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: you don't put your hands on the receiver, and physical

885
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: jam press man. And he was really really sticky, great

886
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: length in height, great arm length. To me, he can

887
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: play anything you ask him to play, you know, man zone.

888
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: I think he's probably the top winner prospect in this draft.

889
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: I think there's the headline. Steve's big on nicknames, Greg,

890
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 1: and the headline is Sauce is sticky. Yeah, and that's

891
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: the thing, Greg. Yeah. I'll we can't get into this later,

892
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: but I'll let you in on the conversation just so

893
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 1: you can prepare. I'm thinking a nickname is good for

894
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: a greatly enhanced draft prospect. If you've got a great nickname,

895
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: teams are gonna get you because they can sell it

896
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: to their fans better and their owners. Sauce Gardner is

897
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: going to go really high in this draft because his

898
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,439
Speaker 1: nickname is reason just for that reason. Reason. Yeah, Yeah,

899
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm I like him or not. If you've got if

900
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,479
Speaker 1: I'm if i'm a player's agent, I get the guy

901
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: a catchy nickname. And that's that's job one. Pump it up,

902
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: that's job one. Well here's the Then here's the important

903
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: question of the day. Does he actually legally change his

904
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: name to Sauce? You know, if I am listen, if

905
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 1: it gets me from number if it gets me from

906
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: say twenty three in the first round down to six

907
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: in the first round, I would have had that paperwork ready.

908
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a top ten pick anyway, So I think, yeah,

909
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he'll be the first corner off the

910
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,479
Speaker 1: board in my opinion, who's gonna be the second? Who's

911
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 1: gonna be the second corner off the board? If if

912
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: you're the GM, that's gonna be very interesting. Um boy,

913
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think the feeling seems to be it'll

914
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: be Derek Stingley. But I think Derek Stingley's tape and

915
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: I even went back and watched his tape in that

916
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: great first season of twenty nineteen, and obviously it was better.

917
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: But you know, he certainly has all the physical and

918
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: athletic traits that you look for in an outside corner.

919
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 1: He's another guy that has good size, he's athletic, he's

920
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: fluid at times, he looks very sudden in his movement.

921
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: The one thing that he has being a former receiver,

922
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: that is certainly an important trade as he has really

923
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: good ball skills and ball production, especially on vertical throws

924
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: outside the numbers, which you see a lot of in

925
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. But I think there's a couple of things

926
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: that need to be cleaned up now. It's not that

927
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: they can't be This is something I can't remember who

928
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: taught me this, but somebody taught me this years ago

929
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: about corners who play in press. And what he does

930
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: which you can't do in the NFL is he has

931
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: a tendency to rock back on his heels as his

932
00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: first reaction to the receiver's move when he's playing press,

933
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: and I think he got to clean that up. I

934
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,720
Speaker 1: think he can get away with it in college. I'm

935
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: not sure you can get away with that in the NFL.

936
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 1: And then the two Washington prospects are two very different corners.

937
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: I mean, Kyler Gordon almost looks like a safety, while

938
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie is you know, he's getting knocked for short

939
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: arms and what have you. It seems to me that

940
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: McDuffie would seem to be the more polished technician while

941
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: Gordon is the more naturally gifted athletes. Not that McDuffie

942
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: isn't a good athlete, but that's kind of how I

943
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: see him. That's very fair. There's actually two corners in

944
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: this draft that in my view anyway, and again I'm

945
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: not Sean McDermott or Leslie Frasier, but just having watched

946
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, the bills and relatively familiar with what they do,

947
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: there's two corners that I think fit the bill very well.

948
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: One is McDuffie. And that's why I wanted to mention that,

949
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: because I think McDuffie is he can play pressed. He

950
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: played mostly mirror match pressed, and he was very very

951
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: good at it. He's very easy with his transition opening,

952
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: opening his hips. He also played a lot of off

953
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: coverage bail technique. There's I'll tell you at Washington because

954
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: they've had this for years. There's two things they must

955
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: really like their corners to be able to do, because

956
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: they're really good at it. Number One, they plan and

957
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: drive from off coverage with explosiveness. It seems like all

958
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 1: Washington corners can do that. And the other thing, which

959
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: I know would be very important to Sean and Leslie,

960
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 1: is they're aggressive and physical playing the run and driving

961
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 1: downhill to tackle receivers. They're urgent and competitive and McDuffie

962
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: is very much like that. The other thing that really

963
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: stood out to me on his tape and I thought

964
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: of the Bills watching him, was I thought that he

965
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: did two things in zone great situational awareness. As his

966
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: zone defender, he understood down in distance and its impact

967
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: on what his reaction should be. So, in other words,

968
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: if it's third and ten and you're a Cover two corner,

969
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: you don't jump the flat route because it's third and ten.

970
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: Let the guy catch the ball and go tackle him

971
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: they punt. He understood that, and then he played with

972
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: his eyes and his feet really effectively in zone. He

973
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: seemed to have a very good feel for route concepts

974
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: based on receiver splits. So I thought McDuffie was one

975
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 1: corner guys that I thought I really fit potentially the Bills.

976
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: And the other was not Gordon, but it's Roger McCreary

977
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: from Auburn, another player who you know, his size is

978
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: almost exactly the same as Tredavious White, and McCrary to me,

979
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 1: can play outside, which he did at Auburn, and he

980
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: had really really good games against LSU and their receiver

981
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: Kayshawn Booty. And when they played Alabama in that game

982
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: that Alabama won late in overtime, he matched up to

983
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams until Williams got hurt, and then John Mitchi

984
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: and he was really good playing mirrormatch press man. But

985
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: he can also play his zone extremely well. So you're

986
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: dealing with two guys in my view, that are scheme versatile,

987
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: and I think that's really important for the Bills. So

988
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: those two players, as I was watching them, guys McDuffie

989
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: and McCreery, I thought that they would fit the Bills.

990
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: And again, I don't know if they plan on taking

991
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: a corner in the first round, trading up whatever they

992
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: want to do, but those two guys really stood out

993
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, McCreary has a ton of ball production, two,

994
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: and I kind of attributed that to him being very

995
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: good at breaking on the ball. Yes, but you know

996
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: that the Bills like physical tacklers. And I'll be the

997
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: first to admit I only saw about two or three

998
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: of his games, not four or five. Five, And he

999
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: seems like a willing tackler, but he seems like more

1000
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: of the drag down variety, if you know what I mean.

1001
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: So I didn't know necessarily if that was a true

1002
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: match for Buffalo, knowing how much they like run support

1003
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: with their corners, and maybe not. But McDuffie fits that

1004
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: bill no problem at all. So if I've got a

1005
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: chance to look at him at all, Yes, yeah, he

1006
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: tackles like a missile. Yes, he's physical. You know, he

1007
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: clearly embraces The way I always think about it when

1008
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: I watched these guys is he embraces the physical nature

1009
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: of the game. The term I always use is he's

1010
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: got a strong playing personality. He struck me as the

1011
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: kind of guy that coaches would want him in their secondary.

1012
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: So McDuffie clearly fits that bill. So if what kind

1013
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: of chances are we looking at the one or both

1014
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: of those guys are on the board at say twenty

1015
00:57:55,520 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: five or at fifty, well, twenty five, I would think

1016
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: there's a very realistic chance. You know, again, you guys

1017
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: know me. I'm not a mock draft guy. I don't

1018
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: sit around thinking who's gonna go with twenty one? But

1019
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: I think that I think it is somewhat realistic that

1020
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: one or both could be there at twenty five. And

1021
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: then you get also into the situation that because I

1022
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: think they're probably looking for a starting corner, I would

1023
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: think that's the case that if it gets to be

1024
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 1: twenty one or twenty two, who knows what the Bills

1025
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: might do. But I think that McDuffie of the two

1026
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: and Chris is one hundred percent right. You know, he

1027
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: certainly fits the bill more because of his willingness to

1028
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: embrace the physical part of the game. Andrew Booth is

1029
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: more of a curious case because he just had sports

1030
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: herney surgery here in late March, hasn't tested as you know,

1031
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: didn't do anything at the combine obviously because of that.

1032
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: But this is a guy, at least from what I've seen,

1033
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: that isn't afraid to use his body like a missile either.

1034
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: And the thing that stood out about me is the

1035
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: way he's able to high point the ball. He just

1036
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: seems to be It seems to be a very natural

1037
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: thing for him. I don't know if there are other

1038
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: things that stood out to you about him, Greg, Well,

1039
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: he's another Chris, another scheme, versatile corner played. They played

1040
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: a lot of zone at Clemson in the games I watched,

1041
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: but they also played man, obviously everybody does. I'd say

1042
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: he's really competitive, he's physically tough. You're right, He's another

1043
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: corner that was aggressive and physical playing the run, willing

1044
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: to hit and tackle. You saw that on the tape.

1045
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: I would say, including McDuffie, that Booth is as physically

1046
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: tough as any corner in the draft, and he relishes it.

1047
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he enjoyed it. Now, he only made fifteen

1048
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: starts at Clemson. He's coming off the surgery, so there's

1049
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: probably a bit of a learning curve. But his college

1050
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: background certainly gave him extensive experience playing both man and zone,

1051
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: and I thought he was another guy, quite honestly, and

1052
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: you don't see this a lot with college corners. I

1053
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: thought he had a strong feel in zone. I thought

1054
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 1: he understood receiver location and distribution. He had his body

1055
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: and his eyes in the right place. And obviously for

1056
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: for Sean and Leslie because they played both man and

1057
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: zone that zone portion is very very important. Give us

1058
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: an idea of which if you could, you know, these

1059
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: guys that you say fit like buffalo, give us like

1060
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: a pro player that we could compare them to skill

1061
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: set wise, that that might give people a handle one,

1062
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: because I know our listeners aren't going to go and

1063
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: watch film on these sum of them, will right right

1064
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: give us a give us like a pro that would

1065
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: would you could look at and say, you know, this

1066
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: guy's a little bit like that. Um like with these

1067
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: guys like McDuffie and McCreery who are kind of Bills

1068
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: type of players. And I'm with you. I like andre

1069
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Booth a lot because of his build and his

1070
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: attitude and his you know, his grit and his competitiveness.

1071
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: So you give us an idea of some players if

1072
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: you can, off the top of your head, who would

1073
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: equate to these guys. I don't want to put you

1074
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: on the spot, but yeah, well you know, I mean

1075
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: it's funny because McDuffie and McCreary to me, were somewhat

1076
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: like Tredavious White. And in terms of size, you know,

1077
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: because don't forget White is not a six two, two

1078
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: hundred ten pound corner. I think White was in the

1079
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: five eleven one ninety two range, if memory serves me correctly.

1080
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what McCrary and mcduffee are. And

1081
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people now like bigger corners.

1082
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: You know, we spoke about that with Gardner. You know,

1083
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: Gardner is more of the exception than the rule. And

1084
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: if you can certainly get a guy who's six three

1085
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: and moves like that, you love it. But there's not

1086
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: a hundred guys like that. So um, you know, I

1087
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: think that to me what I really thought of Tredavious

1088
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: White when I was watching McCrary and and McDuffie, so

1089
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: that without being able to, you know, think of all

1090
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: the other corners, Steve, you know, it's that's the way

1091
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 1: I thought watching those two guys. Okay, yeah, And it's

1092
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: funny you say that, great because I even wrote under

1093
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Booth a little bit of Trey White question mark.

1094
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: And the reason I wrote that when I was looking

1095
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: at Booth was because he tries to play sound, but

1096
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: he isn't afraid to take a chance every now and then,

1097
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: and more often than not, at least in the three

1098
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: or four games I saw of him. He guessed right. Yeah,

1099
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: So Booth seems to have like natural instincts as to

1100
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: what might be coming in a given situation, time and score,

1101
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: down and distance type of things. So it looks like

1102
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: the Bills will have a lot to choose from there.

1103
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: Well maybe not a lot, but at least an option

1104
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: or two at the bottom around one. And the thing

1105
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: is is, we know corner is a premium position in

1106
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: this league. You can never have enough, so you ever

1107
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: know how the draft's going to play out? You know, Look,

1108
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: we all know that no matter what people say, there

1109
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: will be a run on quarterbacks. You know, that's just

1110
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: the way it works. So guys will get pushed down,

1111
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 1: and corner is a premium position. Which are these Listen,

1112
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: we got a handful of guys, like all the way

1113
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: down to Terrek Woolen, who's a kid. Yeah, give us

1114
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,439
Speaker 1: an idea if you did, you pick a favorite. I mean,

1115
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: I know, Sauce gardens the top guys. There a dark

1116
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: horse that you think, I think this guy might sneak

1117
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: in a little bit. Who is it that you think

1118
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: on this list, and you know, our viewers are looking

1119
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: at a list of about ten or twelve guys right now.

1120
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Is there a dark horse that you like that you

1121
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: don't know if everybody else does. There are certain guys

1122
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: that I've seen a little bit of and not a

1123
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: ton of. I don't necessarily think they absolutely fit what

1124
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: the Bills do. Like I don't think Terik Wallen fits

1125
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: what the Bills do. But yet he's you could argue

1126
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: he's freaky. I mean, this is a kid who's six

1127
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: four and an eighth and ran a four two six

1128
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: forty at the combine with a ridiculous ten yards split,

1129
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: by the way, which is remarkable given his height. His

1130
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: ten yards split was one point four to nine. He's

1131
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: got really long arms, and his vertical jump was through

1132
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: the roofs. Yeah yeah, forty two mons vertical. Yeah, that's

1133
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: not bad at all. Now, he's a guy who began

1134
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: his career as a wide receiver. He's only played corner

1135
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: for two years, but he's got premium, premium size, length

1136
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: speed for an outside corner. He's an outside corner purely,

1137
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: so he has elite athletic and physical traits. You know,

1138
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: and as we were just discussing, he was a combined superhero.

1139
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: But you know, he played a lot of mirrormatch press

1140
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: man length matters in that kind of coverage because he

1141
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: could match vertical releases and then he could play the

1142
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: ball even when he was not necessarily in great situations

1143
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: to you know, to play it because of his length.

1144
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: But of course that long f also negatively impacts your

1145
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: transition and change your direction. You know, you become a

1146
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: little segmented when you have to do that, a little sticky. So,

1147
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's he's an ascending type player.

1148
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if he would fit the Bills, so

1149
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: I haven't watched him yet, Greg, how would you assess

1150
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: his hip flip and what in light of what you

1151
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: just said, you know, being one in high cut? Yeah, yeah,

1152
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: I think it's work in progress and he may never

1153
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 1: be uh, you know, he may never be as fluid

1154
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: and smooth with his lateral agility as some others simply

1155
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: because of the long legged, high cut nature of his

1156
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: body type. He can't change his body frame. Yeah yeah,

1157
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: so uh, he'll have other traits that work for you obviously.

1158
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: What kind of team, what kind of defense? Draft if

1159
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: if the if he falls in the perfect defensive scheme,

1160
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: where is it. My guess is he'd be better playing

1161
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: press than off because off, you know, I think you

1162
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: then have to react war to the receiver. And I

1163
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: think to me, anyway, you know, receivers are trying to

1164
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: get you off your spot, and they're trying to get

1165
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: you to move, and then you've got to flip your

1166
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: hips and transition and change direction. I don't think that's

1167
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: the strength of his game. I think he'd be much

1168
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: better off, you know, playing press. But that's why I

1169
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: would see it. All right, Greg, Well, listen, thanks for

1170
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: schooling us up on the corners. You get back in

1171
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: the lab and do your thing and we'll catch up

1172
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: with you next week. All right, guys, appreciate it. Thanks

1173
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 1: all right. Greg co Sell from NFL Films joining us

1174
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: here breaking down the corners. I gotta tell you I

1175
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: feel better about what might be there at twenty five.

1176
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, you know, Greg said he doesn't

1177
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: follow the mock drafts and the draft nicks and what

1178
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: they're saying and everything. The general consensus is Gardner, Stanley,

1179
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: m duck McDuffie are all going to be off the

1180
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: board long before the Bills pick right. The concern here

1181
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 1: is that there is a run on corners in the

1182
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: early twenties, and if that happens, the Bills could really

1183
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: be left out in the cold from a value perspective

1184
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: when they are on the clock at twenty five, which

1185
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: then means in all likelihood they wait on taking a

1186
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: corner at least another round, maybe two, and that's when

1187
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: you know you have a drop off. There'll be a

1188
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: precipitous drop off, So it'll be interesting to see. Kaire

1189
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Elam is a guy that Greg had not looked at

1190
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: yet I have. He's been mocked to the Bills and

1191
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,919
Speaker 1: a lot of fans have chimed in. The kids put together. Yeah,

1192
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: he's got some traits six one and a half one

1193
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: one ran a four to three nine at the combine.

1194
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: He's built and he hits like a safety, physical player,

1195
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: brings the wood on every single tackle, and seems to

1196
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: have the athleticism to play outside his body control and

1197
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: her body control. And they're not really sure what that means.

1198
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: But when the ball is in the air and you

1199
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: might not be in proper position to make an easy catch,

1200
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: the way he can contort his body to make the

1201
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: difficult catch or pass breakup is pretty impressive. He is

1202
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: a natural athlete, and unlike Tarik Woolin, who is high

1203
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: cut and is six four and has trouble transitioning, this

1204
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 1: guy finds it a lot easier. And he's got great length,

1205
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: which you know more and more a lot of these

1206
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: NFL teams they want in length in their corners so

1207
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: you can make more plays on the ball by reaching in,

1208
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: raking something out, tipping something away. He's got that. But

1209
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: is he a fit for the Bills. I don't have

1210
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: enough of a train die to answer that, so we'll

1211
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: have to see. But he's a guy that's probably going

1212
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: to be there at the bottom of around one, may

1213
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: even sneak into round two. Maybe it's I know this

1214
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: that that high in the draft, even though it is

1215
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: number twenty five. It's the first round and the Bills

1216
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: like train Yes, you get a guy who looks like

1217
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: the part. The guy I've that's grown on me is

1218
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,799
Speaker 1: the Andrew Booth kid from Clemson. Because yeah, he hasn't tested,

1219
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 1: he's got the sports herney a surgery. He's supposed to

1220
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: be ready by training camp at least, because it's usually

1221
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: a four month rehab from sports herney a surgery. He

1222
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 1: had it in March, so you go April, May, June, July,

1223
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: so he should be okay by then. But I just

1224
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: like this kid's attitude. He plays. He loves hitting, but

1225
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't he doesn't just throw himself into a play

1226
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 1: where you know he'll miss a guy going one hundred

1227
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: miles an hour. He brings it every single time. Strong, technical,

1228
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: open field tackler. And I just like that. He's the

1229
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: kind of corner because you see a lot of corners

1230
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: come out Steve in the draft. They'll make a lot

1231
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: of plays on the ball. He doesn't just make a

1232
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: play on the ball in contested catch situations, he's coming

1233
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 1: down with the pick. That's how competitive he is. And

1234
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: I think that speaks to the kind of player the

1235
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: DNA that you hear all the time. Coach mcderemy talk

1236
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 1: about he's got bills d NA as far as I'm concerned, right,

1237
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: And I say this too these guys and there's we've

1238
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 1: got a list like today, we were looking at seven

1239
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: different guys we had on our list. I don't know

1240
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: if we got to all of them, all the way

1241
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 1: down to Terry Woolin. These guys come in here. They

1242
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,799
Speaker 1: all have aside from Sauce Gardner and maybe Derek Stingley,

1243
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Gordon, those guys that guys are the very top.

1244
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Most of these guys have some wartz. You get further

1245
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: down and you get into guys who are really good

1246
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: if they're in the right spot. And I like that

1247
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: about this group, thinking, maybe the Bills could wait all

1248
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: the way until fifty and it would be a guy

1249
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: who none of us have heard about, but who jumps

1250
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: off the page trait wise, and they'll take somebody else

1251
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: at twenty five, or a different position at twenty five,

1252
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,640
Speaker 1: different player at twenty five, and you'll still be able

1253
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: to get a guy with some traits at fifty. Maybe.

1254
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: But these these names give me hope that and remind

1255
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: me that that happens once in a while, and so

1256
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:04,560
Speaker 1: we'll see him. Plus, the bulk of this draft is

1257
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: somewhere between fifteen and sixties. What you know was what

1258
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: our guy Jim Nagy told us. You've said it was

1259
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 1: like between twenty and fifty. The Bills are right there.

1260
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 1: We'll see Gordon is kind of an enigma to me,

1261
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: physically gifted beyond belief, but I felt like in college

1262
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: he kind of relied on his athleticism too much. And

1263
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: you see a lot of players like that. They're so

1264
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: athletically gifted they can get away with it at the

1265
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: college level by not subscribing and being completely committed to technique.

1266
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 1: And my only fear with him is there's going to

1267
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,759
Speaker 1: be a learning curve because he's got to commit to technique.

1268
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: His athleticism is not going to allow him to get by.

1269
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: Not in this league, you got to have athleticism, but

1270
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: you better have technique to come along with it, and

1271
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: I think he's going to have a little bit of

1272
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: a learning cur I was very high on him early

1273
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: in the draft process, but as I'm seeing more and

1274
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: more of these corners and getting a chance to look

1275
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: at some of them, there are guys with a lot

1276
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: more technical polish than him. So it's gonna be very

1277
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: interesting to me to see where he goes. You look

1278
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: at Kyler Gordon, and you know, body type wise, he

1279
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: looks more like a safety to me, but you know

1280
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:20,759
Speaker 1: who knows. He ran a four or five two, which

1281
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: is more of a safety territory. But we'll see, We'll

1282
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: see where they all go and till a long way

1283
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: to go. We got a month before it happens, so

1284
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: four weeks anyway. So yeah, I I'm really curious to

1285
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 1: see if the cornerback value is going to be there

1286
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 1: for the Bills at twenty five. Some people think it

1287
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: will be like Greg others thing, No way, Jose. The

1288
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:46,600
Speaker 1: first three are going to be off the board by

1289
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 1: the first sixteen seventeen picks, and then there's a drop

1290
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: off after that to four or five and six. And

1291
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 1: some people think there might be another run in the

1292
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: early twenties right in front of Buffalo, so they may

1293
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: see an option there. They ain't, And I guess that's

1294
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 1: the beauty of the draft. You just it's like a

1295
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: box of chocolates. If you don't know what you're going

1296
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: to get, we'll find out. Yeah, we have an interesting

1297
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: story that we will cover when we come back from break.

1298
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: It is DK Metcalf, the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver who

1299
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: is defying any and all logic about a professional athletes

1300
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: nutrition plan. We will explain that to you when we

1301
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: return next. Here on one Bills Live presented by Collid

1302
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back

1303
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: to one Bills Live Chris brown Seave asking with you,

1304
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,480
Speaker 1: and we told you before the break, we've come across

1305
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: and intriguing and somewhat disturbing nutrition plan on the part

1306
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 1: of Seattle Seahawk Wide receiver DK Metcalf. Recently he sat

1307
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 1: down with Kevin Garnett. I believe this is Kevin Garnett's podcast,

1308
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 1: which also has a video component to it, and he

1309
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 1: was interviewing DK Metcalf, and they were getting into, you know,

1310
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:20,759
Speaker 1: being a professional athlete all this stuff, and Kevin Garnett

1311
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: is fully expecting to get a pretty intelligent answer when

1312
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: he asked him about his nutrition and what he puts

1313
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:30,560
Speaker 1: in his body and this and that, and DK Metcalf,

1314
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: suffice to say, made Kevin Garnett's mouth drop. Here's a

1315
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: short snippet from that conversation. I'm a candy type person.

1316
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh what, I eat one meal a day, drink one coffee,

1317
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,640
Speaker 1: and eat like three four bags of candy. Then the

1318
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,599
Speaker 1: fine bags of candy man jelly bean. Nah see, I'm

1319
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: a gummy, gummy gummy type of guys. So you get

1320
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: your life savers. Come on, man, stop stop man, come on,

1321
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on man. So he's gonna go through

1322
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: a structure of a bag of candy. You about to

1323
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: go through the whole. Okay, let's shar this. Let's all right.

1324
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: I'll just take you through yesterday. So yesterday, I woke up,

1325
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 1: worked out, worked out again, came home, shower, I'm hungry,

1326
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: running starbus, get a quick coffee. That's gonna hold me

1327
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: to like four five o'clock. It's twelve. That's gonna hold

1328
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 1: me for like four hours. Around thirty I ordered from

1329
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: Candy and the Water, So I got what did I

1330
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: get yesterday? Got the Skittles gummies, Then I got the

1331
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: Life Saver Creations. They're the same size bag, so I

1332
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: just mix them. So it's safe to say we're gonna

1333
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: see a DK gummy at some point, right Yeah, yeah,

1334
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:46,759
Speaker 1: certified moments. Get the gummy, get the candy, get the water.

1335
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,799
Speaker 1: Eat that. That's gonna hold me to like eight o'clock

1336
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: where I'm having dinner eight nine and then I eat dinner,

1337
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: go to sleep. That's an everyday thing. That's a money

1338
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: through Friday, Monday through Sunday, Monday through Monday. You know

1339
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 1: not you can candy like that? Yeah, So what do

1340
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,919
Speaker 1: you think about that? Steve being a former professional athlete, yourself.

1341
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: I need to get your opinion on this. Needless to

1342
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 1: say that when the end of DK's career comes, it's

1343
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: gonna come really fast and a little bit too soon.

1344
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: So nutrition is that important. You cannot outtrain your diet.

1345
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: You can't outtrain your diet. I get the fact. Hold

1346
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: on a second. We all remember during the pre draft

1347
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: process the photo of him and A. J. Brown together

1348
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: in the weight room where they looked like they didn't

1349
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 1: even look human, right, they looked like they looked like

1350
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: ripped up. It's like Marvel Comics. Yeah, the X Men, Yeah,

1351
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: or that you saw it it was Avengers. Yeah, that's him.

1352
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean he had an eight pack. Yeah, how do

1353
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: you do that eating three bags of candy a day? Yeah?

1354
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he did every day. I don't

1355
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: know that he did that then. But yeah, the guy

1356
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:03,680
Speaker 1: is a special athlete, and um, you know pro athletes,

1357
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: you know of his caliber, they're built different. That's not fair.

1358
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: It is not fair. He gets to eat three bags

1359
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,679
Speaker 1: of candy a day and he looks like that come out.

1360
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 1: He saved two, he got up. He works out twice. Okay,

1361
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: he works out twice. Then then goes home in showers. Uh,

1362
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: then has coffee and bag a couple of bags of

1363
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: candies to get through the day and get till that night. Um,

1364
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: three bags of candy. I mean he's lucky in all seriousness,

1365
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: he's looking he's not diabetic. That's a lot of sugar. Well,

1366
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: he's young, and he's probably burning a lot of it off.

1367
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: He's young, and it might give him problems later. That's

1368
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: a lot of sugar. It is. It's a yeah, it's

1369
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: like a pound and a half of sugar. You know,

1370
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: think about it. You know it's like two it's like

1371
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: two and a half three pounds of sugar. I don't

1372
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,719
Speaker 1: know if it's that much, but it's bags of candy. Well,

1373
01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:00,879
Speaker 1: he well, in fairness, he did say sing will serve bags.

1374
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: So it's not like one of those family sized bags

1375
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: that he's chowing down. Yeah, it's like so for example,

1376
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: you know those square shaped bags that are probably a

1377
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: good ten twelve ounce as a candy. It's probably one

1378
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: of those. I don't know, Well, I don't can't say this.

1379
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: I'll say this if it is one of the small

1380
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: single serving bags, like a little handful that you get,

1381
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's small. I get that because

1382
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: there's not enough calories in that. And that's and that's

1383
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: the key to it's calories, and it's and sometimes it's

1384
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 1: the quality of the calories that's empty, calories that's empty. Now,

1385
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 1: the meal he has probably at eight nine at night

1386
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 1: can can be probably whatever he wants. But it's it's

1387
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 1: about the calories you eat and the calories you burn. Um,

1388
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: if you burn as much as you eat, you can

1389
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 1: eat whatever you want. This convinces me. Though they're different,

1390
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 1: it's ninety percent jeans. Yeah, some of it is you

1391
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 1: don't get to look like that. That's correct. Nine percent

1392
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: of the population does not get to look like that.

1393
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: Eating three brownie, the guy realized not everybody trains the

1394
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: way he does. I realized, not everybody's six four with

1395
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: arms like vines, you know, and legs like tree trunks.

1396
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: I get that. But some guys are like you and me.

1397
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: We're five and a half feet tall, and you know

1398
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: we lose our hair. Yeah, it's me more than you. Um,

1399
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 1: the only other I was trying to so when I

1400
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: heard this, I was trying to think of another NFL player,

1401
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 1: professional athlete, whatever, who was like a junk food junkie,

1402
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,799
Speaker 1: and I remembered one. He was also a wide receiver

1403
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: fast food junkie. Every day. It was a Stevie Marvin Harrison. Oh,

1404
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: there you go. He ate McDonald's seven days a week. Okay,

1405
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,839
Speaker 1: I don't think it was every meal, but every lunch

1406
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: or every dinner, one or the other. They've got a

1407
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a varied menu. I mean, you get

1408
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: a fish sandwich, chicken sandwich and a bird fries. You

1409
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 1: can't do it, but you can't go in there. Yeah,

1410
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 1: he did that every day. He was isn't a big guy.

1411
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: He didn't look like an Adonis and he played for

1412
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: fifteen years and he's in the Hall of Fame. Yeah,

1413
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: I get it, he will be. Yeah. So is that

1414
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: jeans again a little bit? Yeah? Plus, and I'll say

1415
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:15,599
Speaker 1: this too. Come, there is a level of hard work

1416
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: that you put in that will negate a lot of

1417
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 1: bad decisions you make by with food and drink. So

1418
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, there is all of that in there as well.

1419
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: And there's a a base level of fitness that you

1420
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: get when you're in college and you start you know,

1421
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 1: you come out of high school and some of these

1422
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: guys start lifting young, but you once you cross the

1423
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: bridge of puberty and you start lifting like you mean

1424
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: it and do stuff more than just body weight exercise.

1425
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: And when you start benching twice your body weight and

1426
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, you start to build up a

1427
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: level of hard work and ethic and you get into

1428
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: the habit of working out all the time. You can

1429
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,639
Speaker 1: overcome a lot of stuff. But I've heard it said,

1430
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: and I believe it, you can't. You can't out train

1431
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: your diet. And the one thing that does save him

1432
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 1: one meal a day. That's big, and that's hard to do.

1433
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: It's really hard to do. I've tried that and done it,

1434
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 1: like sometimes involuntarily because I'm busy or whatever. But that's

1435
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: hard to do. And it's it's about calorie intake empty

1436
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,560
Speaker 1: or not um. So that's how he gets away with

1437
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:18,839
Speaker 1: That's how he gets away with it. Yeah, it's the calorie.

1438
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 1: And if he if he was eating three squares and

1439
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 1: that candy on top of it, right, then he's got

1440
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:26,799
Speaker 1: a problem. Then he's got a problem. So that's his Yeah,

1441
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 1: that's his that's his hack. Yeah, that's that's nutrition hack.

1442
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a little bit like that. I can't remember.

1443
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 1: Maybe the Cato diet where you intermitted fasting and you

1444
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: can you eat inside a window and you getting on

1445
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: a schedule. But that's what it's about. It's about them.

1446
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: The amount of calories he takes in now, the candy

1447
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: bags makes it sound like he's halloweening it every day,

1448
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 1: and I doubt that that's the case, but yeah, that is.

1449
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: He could do better. He could do better. He can

1450
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: look on Kevin Garnett's face said it all to me

1451
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 1: like he's just like, how can you He's got to

1452
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: watch a fessional athlete with the amount of money you make,

1453
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: even think about compromising it with such a simple thing

1454
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,879
Speaker 1: as candy Like to Kevin Garnett, who was as dedicated

1455
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: a professional athlete as you'll find and went to the

1456
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: NBA straight out of high school and played for a

1457
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 1: long time ever nineteen years, A right to not make

1458
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,759
Speaker 1: that kind of sacrifice, which I know in Kevin Garnett's

1459
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,759
Speaker 1: mind is simple. It's not even a question. It's out.

1460
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: Maybe in the off season I'll have, you know, a treat,

1461
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: maybe on Halloween I'll have something. But that's not a

1462
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 1: staple of my diet, right, be interesting to see if

1463
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 1: it catches up with him in any way, shape or form.

1464
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're probably right. The one meal a day

1465
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: probably saves him. Let's go to the OBL Friday fan mailbag,

1466
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: which is brought to you, as always by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1467
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Nick

1468
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: with the first question asks should we limit von Miller's

1469
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: snap count in the regular season to preserve him? I

1470
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: know he usually as a high that percentage, but what

1471
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: if we just use him on passing downs in late

1472
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: game drives. A bunch of sacks early in the year

1473
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: won't mean much if he's too beat up for the playoffs.

1474
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 1: What do you think of that? Yeah, they're gonna be

1475
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 1: judicious with him. They did the same thing with Jerry Hughes.

1476
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: He'd get a day off during the after about a

1477
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: week two, week three of the season. He's got a

1478
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: day off every day in practice every day. Get a

1479
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday off, you get a Wednesday off or Thursday off, whichever.

1480
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 1: He'll get a day of the week off to stand

1481
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 1: around a watch and that'll be it. And plus in

1482
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:30,719
Speaker 1: the in the games. I mean, we've seen this. Nobody

1483
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: gets more than what is it like, forty five percent?

1484
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 1: The highest guy at the end of a he's got half. Yeah,

1485
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:38,839
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, some of like Harrison

1486
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: Phillips was playing a lot. He was getting about sixty

1487
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: to sixty two percent of the snap and he led

1488
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: the team. That. Yeah, that was a very very high

1489
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: end of the spectrum. That's not that'll be what Vaughn season.

1490
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 1: And don't forget, this is a club that's been as

1491
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 1: healthy as anybody over the last couple of years in

1492
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. And it's not by chance. They take care

1493
01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: of these guys throughout the regular season. Von Miller's gonna

1494
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna use On Miller where they need him, and

1495
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: you're right, he's going to see a lot of fourth

1496
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: quarter action in games. I would think. I would think

1497
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:07,680
Speaker 1: he's going to be in there when they need to

1498
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 1: stop he's he's on the field, and they'll they'll go

1499
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:12,839
Speaker 1: like that until they see a need for a change.

1500
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they even did that with some of their

1501
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: offensive players last year because in twenty twenty, Stefon Diggs

1502
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:20,719
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley hit a little bit of a wall

1503
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 1: when they got to the playoffs, So in an effort

1504
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: to preserve them for the playoffs, they paced them through

1505
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 1: the season a little bit. Josh Allen admitted to that,

1506
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, with Diggs, and Sean McDermot confirmed it when

1507
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: I asked him. Yeah, we were conscious of pacing them

1508
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: through the season, especially knowing there's one extra regular season

1509
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 1: game now. So yeah, I think it is a practice

1510
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: that they will absolutely put into place for von Mills.

1511
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: And it's no accident. The Bills were playing better football

1512
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 1: than anybody in the NFL at the end of the

1513
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 1: last season and into the playoffs. I mean, they put

1514
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: together a stretch of games that was unbelievable and in

1515
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: large doing large measures, they were fresh and healthy. Yeah,

1516
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was like opening day for them when

1517
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs began, and that was an amazing accomplishment by

1518
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and the sports science people on the other

1519
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: side of the wall. Here. Those people they're in there today.

1520
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,599
Speaker 1: I mean the place is a beehive today and it's

1521
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 1: and it's you know, April first, and they got people

1522
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: buzzing around there, guy's rehab and guys working out. It's

1523
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: not an accident and they worked really hard at that.

1524
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 1: So yes, it's a it's a good question, or you know,

1525
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:26,679
Speaker 1: how are they're gonna make sure Vaughan gets due season.

1526
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 1: I would say absolutely, unequivocally yes, and they'll do it

1527
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: to make sure a guy who's making twenty million dollars

1528
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:36,639
Speaker 1: this season is going to be there when they really

1529
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: really need him in the playoffs. Jackass, what are the

1530
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: odds bill selected punter in this month's draft. I'm not

1531
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 1: sure they'd want to spend a third or fourth round

1532
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: around the Punk God, but they definitely need to improve

1533
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: it punter after Hacks or hawks shaky season, could they

1534
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: consider a move like they did drafting bast two years

1535
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: ago to battle the vent answer yes, and proof of

1536
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 1: that I think comes in the fact that they reworked

1537
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 1: Hawks contract where if they choose to go in a

1538
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 1: different direction, they can release him and they'll have no

1539
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 1: discernible cap hit on their books. So any we were

1540
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: talking penalty, we were talking earlier this kid called the

1541
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 1: punk God matt arisas his name. Yeah, he's yeah, he's

1542
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna get drafted. He'll go earlier. He's gonna get drafted.

1543
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't know who it's gonna be, but he's too

1544
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:23,879
Speaker 1: too unique a talent not to not to be with somebody.

1545
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we come back. One

1546
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:31,440
Speaker 1: last question from the mail bag, thoughts on a potential

1547
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 1: trade up in round one with players going out for

1548
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:40,200

1567
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: There is one final question from the mail back, Steve,

1568
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the reports out there that the Bills

1569
01:27:57,960 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 1: have reached out to teams to trade up in the

1570
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 1: first round for one or two veteran players. We were

1571
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 1: just discussing this yesterday, player for picks, much like we

1572
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: have seen through the course of the trades that have

1573
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: happened thus far this spring. Does it continue on Night

1574
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:14,599
Speaker 1: one of the draft and are the Bills a part

1575
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: of it? The Bills will probably talk to teams about

1576
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: it if we find out all this stuff, everything that's

1577
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: on the radar of the NFL. Brandon Bean's made a

1578
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 1: call about it, right. He's always working, He's always working

1579
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:27,640
Speaker 1: the phone, so it wouldn't surprise me if there's been

1580
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:31,760
Speaker 1: some conversations. But knowing him, there's probably been somebody's turned

1581
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: his nose up at and some of these he's pitched

1582
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:35,600
Speaker 1: that have been shot down as well. This is the

1583
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 1: time where you have exploratory conversations. They don't really gain

1584
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 1: traction and unless they get revisited by those same two

1585
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 1: clubs again and then maybe it goes a little bit further,

1586
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 1: or maybe it just dissipates into thin air and they

1587
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 1: come back to that in the on draft night, you

1588
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 1: think back to the conversations you've had in the past day. Well,

1589
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 1: you know what, back in you know, the second week

1590
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 1: of April, we had that conversation. Let's call them. See

1591
01:28:57,680 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 1: was spring this on them? See what they say? Or

1592
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:01,719
Speaker 1: have they change their mind? Are they still sinking along

1593
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 1: the same? Well we've changed and will say, hey, we'll

1594
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 1: sweeten that deal with this, how about that? You know

1595
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 1: that kind of thing? So um, yeah, I would say

1596
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: the bills are a part of it. But I'll say

1597
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: a lot of surprise, a lot of teams are that

1598
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise you. I mean, it's just because they're talking

1599
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:16,839
Speaker 1: about it, doesn't mean it's gonna happen, right, You gotta

1600
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 1: it's gotta. You gotta have a dance partner. And there's

1601
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 1: only thirty one other clubs. Does make it interesting that

1602
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: to night Brownie, see you at the arena, everybody, We'll

1603
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: catch you on Monday. One
