00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody? Hope you're having a fantastic Thursday. Welcome

4
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: sports reporter Carl Jones, who's sitting in for his third day.

5
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: He was with Steve Tasker for the first two days.

6
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: Now I gets to finish up with me. How has

7
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: it been so far sitting in the seat.

8
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: It's been fun. It's been a blast. It's very intimidating

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: when you first sit down next to Steve and you're like,

10
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: oh my gosh.

11
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 4: Hopefully I don't mess he's the goat.

12
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: But I think I did my own. I hope I

13
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: didn't scare him off for this third and final day,

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: and hopefully today goes fine.

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 4: Well, he called me, he said, many I need the

16
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: day off. I gotta go.

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: You know, Carl's fantastic, so you got you gotta have

18
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: a show with him.

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 4: I said, okay, sounds good, but.

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: We're happy to have you on for one more day.

21

Speaker 4: We also have a topic for you today as well.

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: It's a really good question which Bills position group will

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: surprise us the most in twenty twenty five. I think

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,959

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: feel free to tweet at us or also give us

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: a call with your answers at aight oh three oh

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: five point fifty. Carl, I want to start with you first,

33
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: because it's been about a month since the Bill's wrapped

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: up Mandatory Mini Camp. What were your thoughts on how

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: Mandatory Mini Can was. Was there anybody that you saw

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: on the field that you thought, Wow, this player is

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: going to be exciting to watch during training camp, or

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: any position groups that you saw that maybe you saw

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: some question marks about.

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: The theme of this offseason has been the Bills defensive line.

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: So as soon as I got to one Bill's drive,

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: I ran right over to the back corner of the

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: practice field. On the second field, I said, I got

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: to see these guys up close and personal, and the

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: first thing that sticks out they are massive human beings.

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: Landon Jackson, Michael Hoyd is actually bigger than what you

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: expect for someone who can move around a little bit

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: as at that two sixty five range. Deon Walker, big Boy,

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: Larry Ogunjobi as well. So I think that the athletic

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: profile that they brought in it really really pops off

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 3: the I guess you can say the screen, the page

52
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: or whatever. My eyes were like, Okay, hold on, Greg

53
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: Russol usually stood out when he's out there on the field.

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: Saw him next to land and Jackson. I'm like, oh,

55
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: there's two of them now, So I think that was

56
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: the first thing that stood out to me for sure.

57
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: Definitely, I need to explain to our viewers where the

58
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: defensive line sets up at practice, because they set up

59
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: in a place where US reporters can kind of hug

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: the outside of the two practice fields. So usually so

61
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: many people are just stuck with the quarterbacks and the

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: wide receivers, which is like rightfully, so it's kind of

63
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: right outside where you would enter the practice viewing area,

64
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 2: so you don't have to walk far to get there.

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: If you want to go watch the defensive line, you

66
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: have to do some walking to get there, so you

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: normally don't see too many people watching the defensive line

68
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: during practices, one because sometimes not as exciting as Josh

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: Allen and two it is a far walk. But this

70
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp, there was a big group of us

71
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: watching the defensive line every day, which is not usually normal.

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: It's right by the running backs. I remember almost getting

73
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: caught by James Cook and a running back drill. I

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, I'm not used to standing

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: over here. I need to be aware of my surroundings.

76
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: But I totally agree the defensive line some huge human beings.

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: That's one of the first things that I saw when

78
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: I was out on the field watching the first day,

79
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: just Dion Walker. Just even though they're in shorts and

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: T shirts and helmets, you can.

81
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: Still see that size.

82
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: I got to see Landa Jackson fully patted up because

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: we were around for Buffalo's media day where they're taking pictures,

84
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: they're doing videos, getting everything set up and ready to

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: go for the season. And seeing him across the field

86
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: house in full pads, I was like, Oh my gosh,

87
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: who is this mammoth?

88
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 3: It was.

89
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 2: I mean, I did a double take because he looks

90
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: so large in full pads. So I can't wait to

91
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 2: see the rookies and the new defensive linemen once they

92
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: put on pads during training camp.

93
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: It reminded me of the eighteenth hole at Augustin National

94
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: with like all the reports, just just watching the defensive

95
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: line that the first day of camp. If you ever

96
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: watched the Masters on the final day and everyone's just

97
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: like packed like Sardine's trying to watch the final put

98
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: That's kind of what a looked like the first day

99
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: of mini camp. But then right next to them or

100
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: somewhat down the field or the defensive back. So I

101
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: had to look at what Maxwell Harrison, how he moved

102
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: out there on the field. And I'm not making any proclamations,

103
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: but I will say this his calling card coming into

104
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: the National Football League. He's fast, he's explosive, and then

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: those drills in those twenty minutes that we can watch,

106
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: he fit the billing in the card. He moves extremely well.

107
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: He's an easy mover.

108
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 4: I think that's effortless.

109
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: Everless, it doesn't seem like he's grunting too much or

110
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: out of has to explode too hard. It's just smooth

111
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: and natural, and I think that's really aesthetically pleasing.

112
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: To watch one of the biggest calling cards to Harrison's

113
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: speed and the fact that it's yes showing up on

114
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: field already. We're not in full pads yet, so sure, judges,

115
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: you will right now. But defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage was

116
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: asked about Maxwell Harrison during his press conference that he did,

117
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: and Babbage said, Harriston's speed is starting to show up

118
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: because the game is slowing down for him. We normally

119
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: do not hear our offensive and defensive coordinators say these

120
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: things about rookies. So when Babbage said that about Harriston,

121
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: my ears perked up.

122
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 4: I was like, Oh my gosh.

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: This is this is big to say this about a

124
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: rookie at this point, we're not even putting on pads yet.

125
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: And then Tredevius White also spoke to media later and

126
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: had glowing reviews about Harriston and said, you can tell

127
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: it's there within him. He's gonna get the right coaching,

128
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: he's gonna start to understand the playbook better, and soon

129
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: enough everybody's gonna see what type of player he can be.

130
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: When Babbage spoke on Harriston, usually the younger guys, no

131
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: matter how athletic they are, they are runn a four

132
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 3: to two, or they can run a four to eight.

133
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: They're just gonna be slow because they don't know what's

134
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: going on. They don't the play call. It still doesn't.

135
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: The feet aren't matching the brain at that point. But

136
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: if he's at the point where he's even seventy percent

137
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: of the way there and his athletics is gonna take

138
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 3: in the rest, that's very, very exciting heading into later

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: this month's training camp. But he's just so smooth out there,

140
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: just super duper smooth, and a defensive back room that

141
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: has good athletes. Christian Pimpfers's off was a good athlete.

142
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: Cole Bishop can move a little bit next to Tredevius

143
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: White who can move. And the fact that he was

144
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: the one guy that his feet just looked a little

145
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: quicker and he looked a little more explosive and can

146
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: got out of his brakes quicker than everyone else, that

147
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: was really really exciting.

148
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: You played dB in college at Syracuse. When you're watching

149
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: our defensive backs units during mandatory mini camp, what things

150
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: are you looking for?

151
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 4: Also?

152
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: What stood out to you about Harriston when you saw

153
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: him in his college tape In.

154
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: The periods where we're able to watch so it's just

155
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: individual works. So like hey back pedals, and like when

156
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: you're flipping your hips and staying on the line catching

157
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: the ball or whatever. I want to see two things.

158
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: How smooth are you? Because I think that speaks to

159
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: how confident you are as a player, especially at defensive back.

160
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: It's all about confidence. Everyone at this level they're they're

161
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: athletically gifted. They didn't make it this far because they

162
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: are a regular joe. They are the cream of the

163
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: crop when it comes to athleticism. But how confident are

164
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: you in using those gifts? And so I'm watching to

165
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: see when you get out of your break? Are there

166
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: any false steps? Are you taking too many extra steps?

167
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: Are you just getting out of your break and you're

168
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: going So I'm watching a Teraron Johnson, who's a vet.

169
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: When he's doing it, looks like he can do it

170
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: in his sleep. He's how smooth it is. Obviously, Tradevius

171
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: White is the most fun I've ever had watching a

172
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: player in drills for that specific reason. And then another thing,

173
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: I know defensive backs get teas all the time they

174
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: play dB because they can't catch. I do want to

175
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: see you catch the football. I want to see how

176
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: natural that is, and that matters because you want to

177
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: get your team off the field. So I'm also looking

178
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: for that in the periods where it's not one on ones,

179
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: it's not team not a lot that we can watch

180
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: a manamentory mini camp. But those are the two things

181
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: in particular that I'm looking at.

182
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: And then in terms of Harriston in the game he

183
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: played in college football, what did you like about his

184
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: tape at Kentucky.

185
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: He can fly, he can fly, and I know when

186
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: you see the forty yard dash, you're like, hey, he

187
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: did that in pajamas and underwear, so like, hey, how

188
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: does that translate to the National Football League. There are

189
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: a couple reps on film where I've legal it was

190
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: against Texas. There was another repic because I believe the

191
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: University of Georgia where you saw the translation. And yes,

192
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: I know he is a bit of a smaller guy.

193
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: I know he weighed in the combine around one eighty

194
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: three if I'm not if I'm not mistaken, But that

195
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: isn't a death knil on your career by any means.

196
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 3: There are a lot of cornerbacks who aren't two hundred

197
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: pounds right pasts or tan look at Trenavious White in

198
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: his room next to him, So I think when I

199
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: watched him play, he was an easy mover and the

200
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: one thing that I really like the most with this

201
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: fit here in Buffalo. He played a lot of zone

202
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: covers at Kentucky. The Bills play a lot of zone

203
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: coverage here, So it won't be a abnormal transition for

204
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: him this upcoming year and beyond here in Orchard Park,

205
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: because the learning curve won't be.

206
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: Essc And sometimes that transition for rookies can be so hard,

207
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: going from a team who plays a lot of press

208
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: or just a lot of man and then learning how

209
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: to play zone being in the right areas at the

210
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: right time. That's not the easiest thing to learn in

211
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 2: terms of where the team is right now. What are

212
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: your feelings about the Buffalo Bill as we are a

213
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: week and a half, two weeks away from training camp here.

214
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: I was telling Matt Bovey, sports director over at WKBW

215
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: here in Buffalo, I said, I've only been here since

216
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, so my opinion is taken with a

217
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: grain of salt to a certain extent.

218
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I've been here since twenty nineteen, so I'm feeling.

219
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: I feel what you're gonna say, because we only know

220
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: the good Buffalo Bills exactly.

221
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: But I told him, I said, I feel more confident

222
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: in the roster today than I've ever felt in my

223
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: existence of being here and covering the team. For a

224
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: litany of reasons. I think a we have proof of

225
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 3: concept with the offensive side of the ball. People are

226
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: going to say, oh, the receivers don't have the glamorous names,

227
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: they aren't the star stud of players. That's fair, and

228
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: I think there's merit to that. But we saw last

229
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: year that same cast of characters. Now introducing a Josh Palmer,

230
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: hopefully a healthier Curtis Samuel Pon Coleman in your two

231
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: and whatever they get from Elijah More, they were still

232
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: an elite offense totally. We have proof of concept with that.

233
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: I assume seventeen QB one is still gonna be a

234
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: pretty good quarterback. The offensive line is an elite unit,

235
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: James Cook as well. We have proof of concept with that.

236
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 3: Now that on the other side of the ball, they

237
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 3: did have their struggles on defense. I don't need to

238
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 3: beat the dead horse on how they struggled on third down,

239
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: and maybe they weren't as great in the postseason against

240
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, but there were two areas where I think

241
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: they needed to fix up front. I love all the

242
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 3: resources they did in the defensive line, just throwing darts,

243
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: like one of these guys is gonna have to set,

244
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: one of these guys want to top, and then the

245
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: cornerback to a position. I think that Rasull Douglass did

246
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: his job here, but I think Max Harrison has a

247
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: different skill set that they can tap into here this

248
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: upcoming season.

249
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love what you said about throwing darts at

250
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: the defensive line, because we've seen this team invest in

251
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: the defensive line during the off season, but we haven't

252
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: seen them do it in all avenues that they did

253
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: it in this off season. It was like, let's not

254
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: just get one guy in the draft, Let's go get three,

255
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: and then let's go get some udfas, and then let's

256
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: go get you know, three or four guys through free agency,

257
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: and let's sign a pretty big name and hopefully he's

258
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: healthy enough to be on the field when we need

259
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: him to be on the field. So I love that

260
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: they attacked it from a bunch of different ways. And

261
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott talked about that, you know, saying, we did

262
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: it with veterans this offseason, and we're doing it with

263
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 2: young guys this offseason, and we believe that young defensive

264
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: players are going to be a part of this defense.

265
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: And hearing that from McDermott two kind of perked my ears.

266
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: And they believe that we don't know the names yet

267
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: because we haven't seen training camp start yet, but they

268
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: believe some of these younger.

269
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: Players who they drafted could be a part.

270
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: Of this lineup week one, week two, week three, and beyond.

271
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: I think that if you're a fan, you're going to

272
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: your pushback is going to be we're relying on a

273
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 3: twenty one or twenty two year old player. Sure, but

274
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: when you play as deep into the season as the

275
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bill's do by game nineteen twenty, the division around

276
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: the AFC Championship game, you're a vet by that point.

277
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: It's time to grow up and you're when you watched

278
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles last year, they revamped their defense and

279
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: they took a big step. They had two rookies out

280
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: there playing in the secondary secondary and they were pivotal

281
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: pieces of Cooper degiin't got a pick six in the

282
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Yes, he was twenty one, twenty two years old,

283
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: So age isn't going to be a deterrent as long

284
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: as they are growing throughout the year. And here in Buffalo,

285
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott, Bobby Babbage, Jamila de have done phenomenal jobs

286
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: of developing these players and honing their skills to the

287
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: best of their abilities.

288
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: Definitely. Well, Maddi glab and Carl Jones here today giving

289
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: you the latest Buffalo Bills news from one to three.

290
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: Coming up at two o'clock, we have somebody from the

291
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: Draft Network joining us draft analysts for the Draft Network,

292
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: Justin Mellow. We talked about all these rookies just a

293
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: few minutes ago. Well Mello interviewed a lot of these

294
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: rookies as they were making their way through the scouting combine.

295
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to hear what he had to

296
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: say about maybe any projections he had for these players

297
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: before they came Buffalo Bills, and if anybody really really

298
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: fits this type of offense or defense. Because he did

299
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: interview Jackson Hawes, the tight end that we drafted. We

300
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: have a couple of questions for you. Again, it's our

00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: Most in twenty twenty five?

306
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: A good question there, But first we want to get

307
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: to some news and notes from the NFL.

308
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 4: So let's go around the NFL.

309
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: It's presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of

310
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills.

311
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: And first, I.

312
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Was scrolling Twitter this morning trying to figure out, Okay,

313
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: what's the latest news out there right now about the Bills,

314
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: and I came across a video Amazon Prime. NFL analyst

315
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: and former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was on Good Morning

316
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: Football this morning doing an interview, and fitz Sithydy caught

317
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: up with Bill's quarterback Job Allen yesterday at the American

318
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: Century Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament in Lake Tahoe, and fitz

319
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: was singing Josh Allen's praises like he normally does because

320
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: we know those two have a special connection. He called

321
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: Josh a great leader, and you know, said that the

322
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: Bills have taken on the personality of Josh Allen now

323
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: over the last few years, and I really believe that too.

324
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: I see that in the team last year, and I

325
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: see that in this year's team. Fitz also said he

326
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: believes there's something special going on in Buffalo. His quote was,

327
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: I think this is our year, baby, I think this

328
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: is our year to get over those Chiefs in the

329
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: playoffs and do it.

330
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: They've been so close and there's.

331
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: A lot of enthusiasm around them, and the now MVP

332
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: in Josh Allen is a really special player.

333
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 4: So it's great to hear.

334
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: Yes, Ryan Fitzpatrick is tied to the Bills, but he

335
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: is an analyst for the NFL, and it's great to

336
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: hear people who are clued in on every single NFL

337
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: team say something like this about Buffalo.

338
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: That's so awesome. First Off, I just love the relationship

339
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: that they have. Like when you just look at them,

340
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: they're very different people, but then they are very similar

341
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: in other avenues as well, So I just love their relationship.

342
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: That's first. Secondly, I mean he kind of just piggyback

343
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: off what we just said on like how this team

344
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: just looks different on paper. Hanging into training camp. I'm

345
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: not gonna make any proclamations because I don't want to

346
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: get in trouble in that regard, but I'll say this,

347
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: how Fits is feeling a lot of people around the

348
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: country feeld as well. I know, whoever believes in the

349
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: Vegas gambling odds or whatever, the Bills currently have the

350
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: best odds or tied for the best odds to come

351
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: out of the AFC. So clearly there's a lot of momentum.

352
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: A lot of people around the country feel that this

353
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: team is as well equipped as it's ever been to

354
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: get out get out of the AFC, and whoever they

355
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: play on the other side of that, it's exciting. And

356
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: I will say about the golf tournament that Josh Allen's

357
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: playing this year, I can't wait to watch them golf.

358
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: I love watching this tournament every single year.

359
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: So fun.

360
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: He came in twentieth last year. Josh, can we get

361
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: top fifteen, top ten this year? Is that possible for us?

362
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: I get some nice momentum heading into training camp. Is

363
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: that in cars this year? Can you do that?

364
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do it. I think he can do it.

365
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: I mean he's a married man now, so let's just

366
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: you know, bump up in the order there, finish fifteenth,

367
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: tenth something. I believe he can do it. He's been

368
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: working on his golf game this offseason. I know he's

369
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: busy with you know, getting an MVP award and helping

370
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: plan for a wedding and being at a wedding and

371
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp and a honeymoon.

372
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 4: But he's fit some golfing too, for sure.

373
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: Also, Vince Carter was Minority Ones. It's also in the tournament,

374
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 3: so if you want some rooting interest in that regard,

375
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: he will be playing as well. So I'm gonna be

376
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: glued in watching this tournament for Josh and see a VC.

377
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 3: I don't know what type of golf or VC is.

378
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: I guess we're gonna.

379
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 4: Find, for sure, very cool.

380
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: I will definitely be keeping my eye on that tournament

381
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: as well. This is the time where a lot of

382
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: different outlets gray different players, position groups, starters, non starters,

383
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: X factors, you name it. There's lists out every single day.

384
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: ESPN's seth Walder graded every NFL team's off season. I

385
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: know it's a little bit late maybe to be doing

386
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: this in July, because a lot of people will do

387
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: it right after the draft and kind of grade the

388
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: off season, but there have been moves that have been

389
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 2: made by teams within the last few weeks and months,

390
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 2: and so Seth Walder believes the Bills got a B

391
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 2: plus in their off season grade. Walder says Buffalo's biggest

392
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: move was extending quarterback josh Allen and the move he

393
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: liked most was extending wide receiver Close Shakir. He called

394
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: the Shakir deal a bargain. Walder also wrote that there

395
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: weren't any flashy moves by Buffalo because they spent their

396
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: money extending key players in Alan Shakir, Greg Russo, Christian Benford,

397
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard Wilder also said that Joey Bosa and his

398
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 2: deal will be a bargain if he can stay on

399
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: the field. Then, Wilder called the signing of wide receiver

400
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: Joshua Palmer their big move of free agents and even

401
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 2: though they did something with the wide receiver room in

402
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 2: free agency, also with Elijah Moore as well.

403
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 4: He said that the wide receiver.

404
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: Position is a weakness and it says it's okay to

405
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: critique their decision of not drafting a wide receiver in

406
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: the first three rounds.

407
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, I.

408
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: Think a B plus is fair. It's really hard for

409
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 3: a team like the Buffalo Bills to ever get an

410
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 3: A in the offseason. You don't have the resources of

411
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: a top ten pick to acquire some game changing day

412
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 3: one talent. I think that's first and foremost, and then

413
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 3: they don't have the financial flexibility to go grab the

414
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 3: best player on the open market every single year. So

415
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: it's difficult to just say home run amazing offseason, best

416
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: we've ever seen. But I think they're a step below

417
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 3: that because I really am enjoyed everything that they've done.

418
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: Every I guess you can say weak spot in the roster,

419
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: they've at least tried to address it. The only room

420
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 3: they didn't really overhaul to a certain extent that you

421
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 3: may have want to see some help in safety, but

422
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 3: they believe that co restshirt year, whatever you want to

423
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: call it, last year, he's going to be the replacement

424
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: and improved that room. But I think it's fair. Though.

425
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 3: I think the joy Bosta move will if he's healthy,

426
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: will swing how we feel about this offseason. But that's

427
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: a little bit of revisions history. But yeah, I think

428
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: everything he said is fair. For sure.

429
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: I kind of thought about, Okay, no flashy moves because

430
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: they spent their money resigning their own and you may

431
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: not be able to call those moves flashy, but in

432
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: a way, I think those moves were so important and

433
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: flashy because it says that you hit on those players

434
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: in the draft, and that is so important to do

435
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: when you have a Josh Allen on your roster and

436
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: you're paying other players like.

437
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: Your left tackle.

438
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: It's amazing to know that they got a great deal

439
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: in close Shakir where they drafted him in the draft.

440
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: Greg Russo has panned out. Yes, he may not have

441
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: had those sack numbers that we all wanted in the

442
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: last few years, but he had eight last year, was

443
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 2: really close to getting double digits. I believe can do

444
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 2: so this year. And Christian Benford has just been a

445
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: diamond in the rough. And Terrell Bernard is somebody who

446
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: so many people said this linebacker is undersized, he's not

447
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: going to be able to play with the big dogs

448
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and look at what he has done.

449
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: Every single draft pick that makes it to a second deal,

450
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: especially with their own team. That's a home run. That's

451
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: all you're asking for when you draft a guy, no

452
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: matter where you get them. Now, granted, where they got

453
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 3: Christian Benford, I think is a grand slam, maybe multiple

454
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: grand slams to get a second contract out of a

455
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 3: sixth round pick. But all of those key moves they

456
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: made this year. Obviously Josh Allen getting a boatload of

457
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 3: money is very important as well. But yes, I think

458
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: that is, in its own right, a very very tip

459
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: in the feather of Brandon Beans captain. They were able

460
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: to draft, develop, and then resign those same place.

461
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: It's what they want to do, it's what they hope

462
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: to do. They can't do it with every single player

463
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: because of the players that they're paying. But to know

464
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: that those players all so wanted to stay in Buffalo,

465
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: I think says a lot about what they have going

466
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: on here and how much they respect the coaching staff

467
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 2: and the scouting department because they've done a fantastic job

468
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: in the last few seasons of getting the right roster

469
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: in place to contend for Super Bowl. The thing that

470
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: I found interesting and maybe not interesting because we've seen

471
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: this so much as people critiquing the wide receiver room

472
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: and say what you want, but I don't think everybody,

473
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 2: maybe on the outside I'm talking national reporters understand, like

474
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 2: we're re racking, everybody eats and there doesn't need to

475
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: be this flashy name in the wide receiver room because

476
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: that's not what they.

477
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: Were about last year.

478
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 2: It's not what the Bills offense is going to be

479
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: about this year. And like you said, they had one

480
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: of the best offenses in the NFL last year with

481
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: the Curtis Samuel who was injured for part of the year,

482
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: with a dunt Kincaid who took a step back, and

483
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: with the key On Coleman who faced injuries as well.

484
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: You get those two back healthy, and you get a

485
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 2: Duntkin kid who's looking stronger this year alongside of Keon Coleman,

486
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: and you add a couple receivers to the mix there.

487
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: I think they reloaded fine in that position group. And

488
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: we'll see when Week one begins what the plan is

489
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: for the wide receivers and offensive coordinator Joe Brady, But

490
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: I think they put themselves in a position to take

491
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: a step forward if they want to in that area.

492
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: I like the receiver room. I understand in an ideal,

493
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: best case scenario, Jamar Chase will be on your team.

494
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 3: Dustin Jefferson, Yes, of course, if I was playing madd

495
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: and I will figure out a way to do the

496
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: financial situations that make that happen. But this isn't mad

497
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: and this isn't Amedia.

498
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 4: They'll break the games.

499
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I would do. I've done it before. I

500
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: will make it happen. But in the real world, in reality,

501
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: I like the way they constructed the room. I like

502
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: the and I spoke with adm Adam Henry the Bills

503
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: wide receivers coach about this wide receiver rooms that are

504
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: built like basketball lineup. So they have their big man,

505
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: the guy who's dunking above the rim at Kean Coleman.

506
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 3: You want your wing right you're slasher, the big guys

507
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: off the bounce. Hopefully that's your Josh Palmer, maybe even

508
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: in Elijah More. And then you want your guards, your

509
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: guys who are going to be a little bit more

510
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: fall actually play point guard. Make sure everything sets the

511
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: table before the rest of the room. So that's your

512
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 3: Khalil Shakir. Maybe that's your Curtis Samuel adult Kinkaid will

513
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: play in the intermediate shorter parts of the field as well.

514
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 3: So I like the way the room's constructed. So I

515
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: understand some people don't feel that way. That's their prerogative.

516
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: But as long as things produce on the field, I

517
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 3: don't care what the names are on the depth chart.

518
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Moving on to something not having to do

519
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: with Buffalo necessarily, but they do play this team later

520
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: on in the season. Tampa Bay Bucks All Pro left

521
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: tackle Tristan Wurf's underwent knee surgery on Tuesday.

522
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 4: Wurfs will likely start.

523
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: The season on the physically unable to perform lists. According

524
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: to NFL insider Ian Rappaport, starting to sea on the

525
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: PUP list means that you're missing the first four weeks

526
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: of the season. The left tackle dealt with right knee

527
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: issues during the twenty twenty four season, but only missed

528
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 2: one game. Worfs will be in his sixth NFL season

529
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: this year and has started in every game he's played

530
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: in that number, seventy nine. The Bills face the Bucks

531
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 2: for Week eleven, so Wurfs should be totally good to

532
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: go by them, But this could impact the start of

533
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay's season, and a lot of people believe that

534
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 2: they're the favorites right now in the NFC South. I

535
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 2: would say the easy favorites if we're looking at the

536
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: teams in the NFC South, But who knows what could

537
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 2: happen with the Atlanta Falcons.

538
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: I'll just say this, if you're a fantasy football fan,

539
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 3: Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Shad White, Bucky Irvin, maybe those

540
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 3: guys the first four weeks of the season simper their expectations.

541
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: They're all pro left tackle, it's not going.

542
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: To be there. Yeah, that is a very good point.

543
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break, but when we return, we

544
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: are answering the tweet sheet any questions that you.

545
00:25:59,359 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 5: Have for us.

546
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: Continuing on with some more news and notes next year.

547
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: On One Bills Live. We're presented by Clydehealth on Buffalo

548
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: Bills Radio. What's up, everybody, Welcome back to One Bills

549
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: Ive Maddi Glab alongside of WIVB TV sports reporter Carl Jones,

550
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: and we've been talking about some news and notes surrounding

551
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 2: the NFL and ESPN is releasing their top ten position lists.

552
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: So the latest one that came out was the safeties. Now,

553
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: these lists are voted on by league execs, coaches, and scouts.

554
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 4: The Bills didn't have a safety on the.

555
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: List, but they will face four of the top ten

556
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 2: during the regular season. So since we have a former

557
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: dB here himself and Carl Jones, I wanted to run

558
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: through this list because there are some pretty good safeties

559
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: that the Bills are going to go up against this year,

560
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 2: and number one on the list was Baltimore Ravens safety

561
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton. Buffalo will face Hamilton week one on Sunday

562
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: Night Football. Now, what makes Hamilton so special is his

563
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 2: ability to line up all over the field from free

564
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: safety to star linebacker, so Buffalo will see quite a

565
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: bit of him on Sunday Night. When the Bills played

566
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: Hamilton and the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs, Hamilton led

567
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: the team in tackles with nine, so it'll be interesting

568
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: to see how Buffalo matches up against him in Week one.

569
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 3: The most exciting matchup when he's out there. I want

570
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 3: to see him in eighty six Dalton and Kid. I

571
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: want to see how that matches up.

572
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: I thought about him too.

573
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 3: I was like Matt because when you play the Baltimore Ravens,

574
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: Khalil Shaki is probably going up against their cornerback Marlin Humphrey. Well,

575
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: the other great player, Kyle Hamilton. I want to see

576
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: what dallkan K has for that? What is coming out party? Like? Hey?

577
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: All off season late last year was dealing with a

578
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 3: knee in both two knee injuries. Excuse me, Yeah, what

579
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 3: a way to say, like, hey, I'm back, I'm healthy.

580
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 3: Going up against the best safety in football. I think

581
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: the rankings accurate. He's phenomenal. He can line up everywhere.

582
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: He made a play in the playoff game actually down

583
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 3: in Baltimore. Excuse me, in a Week four when they played

584
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: them last year where he was lined up like fifteen

585
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: yards off the ball. They threw a screen of Kalisia

586
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 3: here and he stopped at for a one yard loss.

587
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 3: I ran it back like five times. I'm like, this

588
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 3: can't be right. This must be the video game I

589
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 3: played last night. Okay, but he's a phenomenal ball player

590
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 3: and he's only going to get better for the Ravens.

591
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Atlanta Falcons safety Jesse Bates was ranked the fourth

592
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: best safety.

593
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 4: The Bills will face.

594
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: The Falcons in Week eight on Monday Night Football in Atlanta.

595
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: Right before thereby, so Baits got a four year deal

596
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: sixty four million dollars two offseasons ago and since then

597
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: has been a star for that team ten interceptions and

598
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: twenty one pass breakups. His ball skills are no joke.

599
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: He's really good and I know, you know, faced a

600
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: little bit of people didn't love him as much before

601
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: he came to the Falcons because they didn't think he

602
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: was a total safety. But I think has proved that

603
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: he can do everything that a safety needs to do.

604
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: I know Bill's fans are very familiar with Jesse Bates.

605
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: Obviously when the playoff game when they came here, he

606
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: had a fantastic game. He's a good player. I know that. Cincinnati,

607
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: for however, they do things down there. They let players walk,

608
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: contract negotiations, hold outs, frustrations, whatever the case may be.

609
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: He was the one player they did just let walk

610
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: out of the building and Atlanta has reaped the rewards

611
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: of that. He's phenomenal. He's always a player Monday morning

612
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: where I'm not able to watch the games live on

613
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 3: Sunday where I'm like, how in the world did he

614
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: picked that ball up? He's a really good player. Actually

615
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: was blessed or not blessed, however you want to ward

616
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: with this. Played him when he was at Wake Forest

617
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: when I was in college. He was good then and

618
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 3: a big reason why we couldn't beat them when I

619
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: was there, So I'm at least glad to see that

620
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 3: he's still doing great things the next level as well.

621
00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay box safety Antwine Winfield Junior was ranked seventh best,

622
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 2: the seventh best safety, and Buffalo plays the Bucks in

623
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 2: Week eleven at home. Winfield faced some injuries last season,

624
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: which resulted in no interceptions and a drop off from

625
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: his twenty twenty three season where he had three interceptions,

626
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: six sacks and six forced fumbles. I want to say,

627
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 2: so a talented player on their defense, and this Bucks

628
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: team is loaded up all over the field. I think

629
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: that's going to be a really really fun game to watch.

630
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 2: And I think a game that Chris Brown and I

631
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: have talked about is kind of like a sneaky, tough

632
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: game for the Bills in Week eleven.

633
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 3: I'm very the Bucks. I know the NFC South is

634
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: always weird. You don't know who's going to be the

635
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 3: team that stands out. But on paper, barring that Tristan

636
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 3: Wurf's comes back in Week five and whatever and he's

637
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: still healthy, that team on paper is nice. And Baker

638
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: Mayfield has ascended into maybe not being the number one

639
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: overall pick that we that type of trajectory of career.

640
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 3: But he's like a couple of rungs below that really

641
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: really good quarterback tier. And I think that's been the

642
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: Bucks benefit. They have really good receiving corps there. Offensive

643
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: line is stellar, running backs are good. The defense is feisty,

644
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: led by a player like Antoine Winfield, who is a

645
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: bit undersized. I know that if you're wondering like Antoine Winfield,

646
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: the name sounds familiar. Obviously, his dad did great things

647
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: in the NFL a long time ago, and all wait

648
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: for the Bills, Wait for the Bills, shout out to

649
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 3: mister Winfield. But then also, if you remember that the

650
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: Buccaneers chief Super Bowl a few years back, the guy

651
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: who threw the peace sign on Tyreek Hill's face after

652
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: he got the pass breakup, that was Antoine Winfield. So

653
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: if your memory is coming back to you, that's him.

654
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: He's a very vibrant, explosive player and he's fun to watch.

655
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: When Antoine Winfield Junior was coming out, I remember being

656
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: at the scouting combine by his podium, listening to his interview,

657
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: and had done some homework beforehand to know like Okay,

658
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: his dad played for the Bills.

659
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 4: There's a connection there.

660
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: Because we were writing a story and just listening to

661
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: his press conference and watching some of his college tape.

662
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: Was kind of hoping maybe.

663
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: The Bills would him because it seems like he was

664
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: going to be a really good player in the NFL

665
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: and has done great things for the Bucks since then.

666
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: The other name that was on the list that the

667
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: Bills will face twice this season.

668
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 4: New Dolphins safety.

669
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: Minca Fitzpatrick, was ranked the ninth best safety. Buffalo will

670
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: face Miami week three and week ten. Miami originally drafted

671
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick with the eleventh overall pick in the twenty eighteen draft.

672
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what Fitzpatrick brings to the

673
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: Dolphins since this is his first year back with the team.

674
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: We've seen a drop off from him in the last

675
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: couple of years. He is a couple of years younger

676
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: than Jalen Ramsey, so I know once the Dolphins traded

677
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: for him, people were thinking, Okay, we got a little

678
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: bit younger here. But the secondary in Miami has so

679
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: many questions, especially at that cornerback position. Now moving on

680
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 2: from Ramsey, you're kind of looking at some younger guys

681
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: to take over.

682
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: That up front. They have some guys as long as

683
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: they're healthy, they'll they'll.

684
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, as long as they're healthy.

685
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: Bingo with that, bingo with that, because I don't know

686
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: if they're a healthy upfront. They have names that you recognize,

687
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: But outside of Mega Fitzpatrick, you're going to look at

688
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 3: the Dolphins secondary and be like, huh, who that's real?

689
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: No way and listen, he did slow down the past

690
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 3: fews in past few years in Pittsburgh. For whatever the

691
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 3: case may be, he may just be deteriorating as a player.

692
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe they didn't put him in the

693
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: proper situations to succeed. I don't know that, but I

694
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 3: will say usually as a secondary player, you need the

695
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: person next to you to hold up their end of

696
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 3: the bargain to do your job. I don't know if

697
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: I see him taking another step to being the Mega

698
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 3: Fitzpatrick that we saw in twenty twenty one, base off

699
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: of the fact that guy next to him may not

700
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 3: be up to par. And then the cornerback over there

701
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: is a guy who he has to communicate with every

702
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 3: single play because they don't know their job either.

703
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miami has a lot of question marks. We've talked

704
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: about it on the show over the last couple months

705
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: really this off season about what type of team is

706
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: Miami going to be when the Bills see them in

707
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 2: Week three and when the Bills see them again in

708
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: Week ten, because it could be the same team depending

709
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: on how some of their position groups develop, what their

710
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 2: health is on the defensive line, how their offensive line operates.

711
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: That's that's one team in the AFC East that has

712
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: been so close to contending with the Bills, but yet

713
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: so far sometimes in their decision making and the off

714
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: season of how they are going to become a better team.

715
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: They're so flashy, so they're fun to talk about, and

716
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 3: like you have the basketball on grass type of stuff

717
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 3: with the receivers that run for to the running backs

718
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 3: that can fly as well, So they're really fun to

719
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: talk about. But then when you look at you know,

720
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: how they've played when it matters in the postseason, not

721
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: even the postseason in December and beyond. Okay, maybe playing

722
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: basketball and football doesn't really work. Yeah, and then their

723
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: personnel decisions, like you just alluded to, haven't really matched

724
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: up with a team that wants to contend for a

725
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. I'm very fascinated to see how things shake

726
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 3: out for them, because they can go one or two ways,

727
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 3: and I think we both know what they are.

728
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even what you hear out of people who

729
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 2: have played for that team but don't play for it anymore,

730
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: or just interviews that have come out from players about

731
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 2: just the culture there is interesting too. So my eyes

732
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: are on the Miami Dolphins this season. I want to

733
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: see how it's going to go. Obviously, we really care

734
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: about the AFC East because we see him twice a year.

735
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: The final list that we're going to talk about today,

736
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: NFL analyst Maurice Jones Drew ranked the starting running backs

737
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: for every NFL team. So number one, number two, not

738
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 2: a surprise at all, Saquon Barkley coming in at number one,

739
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: and Derrick Henry coming in at number two. I'll quickly

740
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: read off the rest of the list till we get

741
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 2: to James Cook. He was a little bit lower and

742
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: in terms of like not like low, like number one,

743
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 2: number two, number three, but ranked not where I thought

744
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: he would be. So here is three and beyond Jami

745
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: or Gibbs number three, Josh Jacobs, number four, Bjeon Robinson,

746
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: number five, number six, Kyron Williams, number seven, Jonathan Taylor, eight,

747
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey nine, Aaron Jones, ten, Bucky Irving, eleven.

748
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 4: James Cook.

749
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 2: So he said Maurice Jones. Drew said that Cook proved

750
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 2: he's an essential part of Buffalo's offensive success. So being

751
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 2: eleven a little bit higher than I thought he would be.

752
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 2: Where do you think Cook fits in this list? Do

753
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: you believe eleven is the right place for him? Do

754
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: you think he should be somewhere else?

755
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: I think that's the low end of the bucket that

756
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: I will put him in in my opinion, looking at

757
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: this list, I don't know how you put Kyrien Williams

758
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 3: above him outside of maybe fantasy football. No, we disrespected

759
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: Kyrien Williams. I think that's a player where I'm kind

760
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: of shocked he's above him, as well as maybe even

761
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: an Aaron Jones at this point in his career, I

762
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: thought too, and even Bucky Irvin, who had a stellar

763
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: rookie campaign last year down there in ten, but we

764
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 3: just sunk his praises. Maybe you want to see another

765
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 3: year of it. So I think the range from seven

766
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 3: to I was probably going to say seven to ten

767
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 3: but this is probably the back end of that. Christian

768
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 3: mccafrey is an unknown because if he's healthy, then we

769
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 3: know he's right next to Saquan and Derrick Henry, but

770
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: who knows. I'm not going to project on that. I

771
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: think the top five is probably set excluding CMC's health.

772
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: But I think once you get to six or seven,

773
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: I think James Cook's name can be brought up and

774
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn't blink an eye.

775
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 4: I believe it too.

776
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: I thought he should have been maybe eight or nine.

777
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: They're not eleven. I asked Steve Tasker this question on

778
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: Monday because we did a lot of talking about James Cook,

779
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: because there are a couple other lists that came out

780
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: that ranked James Cook among other running backs, and looking

781
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: at Buffalo's offense last year.

782
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 4: They finished the season like fifty to fifty.

783
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: In terms of run pass Where are the Bills going

784
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: to be in twenty twenty five in terms of those numbers?

785
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 3: I think they're going to try to stay in that realm.

786
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 3: The offense was so successful, and I know that you

787
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: want to always stay ahead of the innovation curve. You

788
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: don't want to be stagnant. But I think that when

789
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 3: you can play the game on your terms because your

790
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 3: offensive line is so dominant, it doesn't matter what the

791
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 3: defense believes because those five guys upfront are so explosive,

792
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 3: they're powerful, they can move guys from point A to

793
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: point B. As a defensive back, obviously, I love the

794
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: basketball on grass games where they're throwing the ball over

795
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: the yard. But that Cowboys game a few years back

796
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 3: where they just ran the ball every single play and

797
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 3: there was nothing doubts everybody. There's something about that that

798
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 3: makes you feel, yeah, that's football. Or even last year

799
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 3: the Ravens game in the first half in the playoff game,

800
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: or even though the Broncos game in the postseason. I

801
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 3: understand it is in flashy and you're you're always gonna

802
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: want a little bit more. But when you have an

803
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 3: offensive line that can play like that fifty to fifty,

804
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 3: fifty five, forty five, sixty forty, whatever the breakout shakes

805
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,959
Speaker 3: out to be, it'll be week to week just based

806
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 3: off of how good that offensive line plays.

807
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think it'll be very similar to

808
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: last year. And I think one reason why it's going

809
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: to be similar is because no matter how you line up,

810
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: there's going to be answers on the field for you

811
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: because of how the defense decides to line up against you.

812
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: I think that will be one of the most interesting

813
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 2: things is to see do NFL defenses decide to stack

814
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: the box a little bit more against Buffalo, But then

815
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: then you're asking for trouble because of what Josh Allen

816
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: can do, or are they going to give them light

817
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 2: boxes like we've seen a lot. But then there's also

818
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: answers because you have James Cook and you have Ray

819
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: Davis and Ty Johnson.

820
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 4: So I'm very.

821
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: Interested to see if any of that levels out in

822
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: terms of what NFL defenses do against Buffalo, because it's

823
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: not just the Bills. You are seeing teams in the

824
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 2: Eagles and in the Ravens have these running backs where

825
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 2: you're going to have to stack the box against them.

826
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: If you want to try to find any answers in

827
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: slowing it down, pick your poison.

828
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: I mean, when you watch the Super Bowl, Saquon Barkley

829
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 3: didn't have gaudy stat numbers, but what the Chiefs literally said, whereas, yeah,

830
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: we're going to put eight players in the box and

831
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: just dare you to beat us on the outside. The

832
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 3: Eagles did that they did it and it was fairly

833
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 3: successful for them. So and I believe there's no a

834
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 3: j Brown or DeVonta Smith on this team, but Josh

835
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 3: Allen could lift some of the other players up to

836
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 3: a standard that makes it difficult to stack the box

837
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 3: against the Buffalo Bills. So yeah, there are a bunch

838
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 3: of teams out there. Obviously, the Bills feel the same

839
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 3: exact way when they play the Ravens. It's a tough

840
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: spot to be in, and I don't envy the spot

841
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 3: at defensive coordinators who have to figure out which way

842
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: did you want to play, because neither one really seems

843
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: too fun to play.

844
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like as NFL defenses started to become more

845
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: fast and more light, and linebackers started to drop into

846
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: coverage and cover these tight ends. Now there's a little

847
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 2: bit of a shift, and we'll see if more teams

848
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: follow suit to where No, we're gon we're gonna be

849
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: heavy again and we're going to try and run the

850
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: football now that you have gotten lighter on defense.

851
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 4: We got to take a break.

852
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,480

00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: a good one. What is the cost of getting a

871
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: picture with Carl at training camp?

872
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 3: Free ninety nine, free ninety nine. Don't worry about that,

873
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 3: just come find me, as Maddy knows, will be around

874
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 3: the players. So wherever you see a player that's not

875
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 3: on green grass, that's where the media can be. So

876
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 3: I will be over there. Just holler at me. Is free?

877
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 3: I ma'am? No, what do I look like?

878
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 6: I charged? Not?

879
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 3: I feel scared and I feel like my persona is

880
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 3: off now, because.

881
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 4: You know, Carl is one of the nicest people.

882
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 3: Lance, I apologize that I've given off the impression that

883
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 3: I will make you charge, but no, free ninety.

884
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 2: Nine is so you're mister cool, stand on the sidelines

885
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: with your arms crossed.

886
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 4: Nope, sunglasses on?

887
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 3: Nope? Not me?

888
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 6: Not me.

889
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 3: I am. I'm giggly, bubbly, all that good type of stuff.

890
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 3: So Lance, just come find me. I got you.

891
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 4: I love it all right.

892
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 2: Klaby says, which of the many new faces on the

893
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: team will you be most focused on during training camp?

894
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 2: Also which position battles look the most intriguing? So Carl,

895
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 2: you can take the first one. Which are the many

896
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: new faces on the team will you be most focused

897
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 2: on during camp?

898
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 3: I think Joey both and I know that we want

899
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: to just see him in January and beyond. But I

900
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: do know he's coming off of a belief calf injury,

901
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: so I just wanted to see how he's progressed from

902
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 3: that and what tempo he's going at during training camp.

903
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: But I just want to see how does he look.

904
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 3: It's very hard to judge defensive lineman without pass without

905
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 3: them going to the ground, But I just want to

906
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 3: see how he moves around a little bit because he

907
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: is coming off of an injury and just wanted to

908
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 3: see as he progressing in the right direction heading into

909
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 3: week one.

910
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 2: And in terms of position battles that look the most

911
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: intriguing defense, defense, defense. You name the position on defense,

912
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: I will be watching how it goes. Obviously, an easy

913
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: answer is the cornerbacks room, the defensive line room with

914
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: so many new faces. I'm also very interested in the

915
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 2: safety battle and who's going to earn that job opposite

916
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 2: of Taylor Rapp. Obviously you have DeMar Hamlin, who started

917
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: in several games last year, had a couple interceptions, was

918
00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: the main starter for the safety group opposite a Taylor

919
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 2: rap Cold Bishop, who had injuries early on last year,

920
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: didn't earn that starting safety job, but now is healthy

921
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 2: enough to be able to battle it out with DeMar Hamlin.

922
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: I'm interested to see what Bishop has done this off

923
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 2: season and throughout this season to make him ready for

924
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 2: this opportunity. We heard from Babbie and McDermott during mandatory

925
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: mini camp in that Cold Bishop has done a fantastic

926
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 2: job being at the facility this off season, staying in

927
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 2: the weight room, becoming stronger, and also feeling more comfortable

928
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 2: with this defense. I spoke to Cold Bishop during Mini

929
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 2: camp and asked him what's the difference this year compared

930
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: to last year? And Bishop said, it is being comfortable

931
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: in this defense. It's slowing down, it's knowing how to

932
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: play in this defense. And with that comes his ability

933
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: to move all over the field, which is one of

934
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 2: the reasons why they drafted him.

935
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 3: There are a lot of names in that group that

936
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 3: are very interesting. I know we've written off damor Hamlin

937
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 3: in some aspects because like, hey, you just expect Cold

938
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 3: Bishop it's that job. But they've made it very clear

939
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: this offseason all we're not handing any job to anyone.

940
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 3: And I know Bobby Babbage went to the furthest extent

941
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 3: and say, hey, no one's job is say every job

942
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 3: is open. He was like, even sore Bernard. I understood

943
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 3: where he was going with that point there, but I

944
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 3: do think safety is the king of that though, because

945
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: cold Bishop won't be handed anything. He has to go

946
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 3: out there and take that job. Also, have a young

947
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 3: player like Jordan Hancock, what does he look like in

948
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 3: his first year there? Derek for is someone who they

949
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: brought in from Washington. And then obviously cam Lewis wherever

950
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 3: he chooses to play, because he lines up anywhere on

951
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 3: the defense, it's so fun to watch. But yeah, safeties

952
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 3: will be very fun and I want to just see

953
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 3: how those reps divvy up. And as we get into

954
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 3: week two of camp, week three of camp, when they

955
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 3: come back here to Orchard Park, how does that position

956
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: shake out.

957
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: I know this is a position group that is not

958
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 2: as flashy because there's not a lot of new faces

959
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: and it's going to be the same cast of characters.

960
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: But the linebacker's room intrigues me a little bit too,

961
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 2: because Terrelle Bernard and Matt Mulano. I have to do

962
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 2: the math again. I did a last week. I believe

963
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: they've played in maybe nine or ten games together. That's

964
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: not a lot, that's not even a full season. So

965
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: to get them together on the field healthy. I think

966
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 2: we'll do numbers for this defense because those are two

967
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 2: really talented players, and then they are going to have

968
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: to find a spot where Douring Williams can play in

969
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: this defense. Williams was the leading tackler for the Bills

970
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 2: and has proved that he is too good to just

971
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 2: ride the bench all year. They're going to find packages

972
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 2: to use Williams. I believe it, and I can't wait.

973
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 3: To see how the athletic traits and profile of that

974
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 3: room just pops off the screen. Yeah, all three of

975
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 3: them throw Bernard Obviously he's athletic, but then also his

976
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 3: just spatial awareness and how he's just able to feel

977
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 3: things out there and just make plays in the passing

978
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 3: game as well as getting tackled for losses. I don't

979
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 3: need to talk any further about Matt Malana. You guys

980
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 3: at home know how special he is as an athlete.

981
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 3: And then during Williams will run through anyone's face out there.

982
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 3: He's so fun to watch. They always need to check

983
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 3: his face mask after every play to make sure there

984
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 3: aren't any dents in it, because that's how violent he

985
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 3: plays to watched, especially out of a linebacker reminds you.

986
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 3: I know he's smaller, but he plays it in the

987
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 3: throwback type of way where he's just willing to run through.

988
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: Him and Taylor Rapp go super Saiyan on the field together.

989
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean they're gonna run through anyone and no

990
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 3: matter where you are, who's in front of me, they

991
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 3: see opposite color, just going to hit it. So it's

992
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 3: fun to watch. And then even a guy like joined

993
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 3: Reeson in year two, local product, how does he progress

994
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 3: as a player. Where we've mentioned everyone else the game

995
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 3: slowing down for them in year two, I hope the

996
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 3: same will be for joint Reeson as well.

997
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had some plays on special teams last year

998
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 2: where he showed up and he made it look like

999
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 2: it hurt. So I'm excited to see how he grows

1000
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 2: in year two. With Buffalo break time for us coming

1001
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,280

1004
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 2: Of Buffalo's rookies before they got drafted by Buffalo, so

1005
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna ask him what he thought of the group

1006
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 2: and who he thinks fits best on this team. In

Speaker 3: Gratefully, No, I don't have to do that.

1023
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:25,839

1024
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 3: Very happy that I don't have to stay over night

1025
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 3: in Pittsford. Although I do love the Rochester area, work

Speaker 3: don't have to sleep in a dorm.

1028

Speaker 2: Are you gonna be going back and forth every day

1029
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 2: or just going for a few practices?

1030
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 3: About five or six practices. I will be stopping at

Speaker 3: Pittsford Dairy a few times, so.

1032
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: I know, five or six times at practice, five or

1033
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 2: six times at Pittsford dry You know me will.

1034
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,279

1037
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: joining us right now. Justin, Thanks for coming on to

1038
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 2: talk with us about some of Buffalo's newest faces.

1039
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, pleasure is all mine.

1040
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 7: You know, I thought Brandon Bean had a really good

1041
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 7: draft class in April, and I expect that to pay

1042
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 7: dividends this fall.

1043
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's awesome that you interviewed several of Buffalo's draft

1044
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 2: picks before they even became members of the Buffalo Bills.

1045
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 2: Took the time to kind of get to learn their

1046
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 2: story and what makes them such great players. We've been

1047
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 2: spending time this show talking about some of the rookies

1048
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 2: and our excitement for them. Let's start first with Max Harriston,

1049
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: who Buffalo drafted in the first round. Trying to figure

1050
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 2: out who is going to be their starting cornerback and

1051
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,240
Speaker 2: Maxwell Harrison will be a part of the mix among

1052
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 2: other cornerbacks. But when interviewing Harriston for the first time.

1053
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 2: What struck you about the type of player that.

1054
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 7: He is, Well, he's a team first guy, you know,

1055
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 7: and I find those kids that Kentucky typically are when

1056
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 7: you speak to him, when you sit down and watch

1057
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 7: him on tape, the athleticism really pops right, and he

1058
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 7: talks about and he talked about it all throughout that

1059
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 7: interview and the combine, right, anyone can scout this kick

1060
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 7: off letis in perspective four to eight position best, thirty

1061
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 7: eight and a half inch vertical, ten foot nine broad jump.

1062
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 7: You know, again, team first character. You know what Brandon

1063
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 7: Being tends to look for in these draft prospects. Someone

1064
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 7: who's gonna put his teammates before himself. And Maxwell Harrison

1065
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 7: expressed that to me consistently, you know, throughout the pre

1066
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 7: draft process, throughout that interview, I thought the Bills got

1067
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 7: a you know, terrific prospect, terrific player at thirty overall.

1068
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 7: Last time he was on the field for a full season,

1069
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 7: that was in twenty twenty three. You know, five interceptions

1070
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 7: that year, he returned two of them for a touchdown

1071
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 7: against Vanderbilt. Sixty six tackle, sixteen pass breakups in his

1072
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 7: final twenty games.

1073
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 5: When I look at.

1074
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 7: What the Bills were probably looking for at that position

1075
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 7: throughout the pre draft process. You look at some of

1076
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 7: the bigger games that let them down, you know, playoff

1077
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 7: losses to.

1078
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 5: The Chiefs, to the Bills.

1079
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 7: They just couldn't make those plays, prevent those plays through

1080
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 7: the error in those decisive moments. I look at Maxwell

1081
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 7: Harrison's ability to disrupt the catch process, the ability to

1082
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 7: create turnovers, game changing plays, get his defense off the

1083
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 7: field by disrupting the catch point. I think he's everything

1084
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 7: and more that the Bills were looking for at the position.

1085
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 3: Within your article, you talked to Max Harrison about his

1086
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 3: willingness to get in there and tackle. I think, what

1087
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 3: did you? I think that's something that Bill Spans are

1088
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 3: very curious learned about, where some draft experts said, I, oh,

1089
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 3: that's maybe a negative part of his game. We don't

1090
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 3: know how that will translate. You spoke with him on that,

1091
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 3: What did you learn learn about him?

1092
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 7: Well, he had sixty six tackles in twenty twenty three, right,

1093
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 7: and like I talked to NFL coaches about this all

1094
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 7: the time. Cover first, tackle second, right, Like, it's not

1095
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 7: gonna be your number one trait you're searching for when

1096
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 7: you scout a cornerback prospect, if you will. But I

1097
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 7: found him to be very willing both on tape and

1098
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 7: from a personality standpoint when I discussed it with him. Look,

1099
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 7: tackling is a want to Okay, anyone as an NFL

1100
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 7: player can always learn to tackle.

1101
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 5: You gotta want to do it.

1102
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 7: I came away from my conversation with Max Dell Harriston

1103
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 7: incredibly confident that he was more than willing to kind

1104
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 7: of come downhill and get his nose dirty in the

1105
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 7: run game.

1106
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 2: In your article, you called Max Harriston one of college

1107
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 2: football's best kept secrets. Why do you believe he's one

1108
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 2: of the best kept secrets and how will that show

1109
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 2: up this year for the Buffalo Bills.

1110
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 7: Well, I want to say I sat down with him

1111
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 7: in August or September, maybe October at the latest, when

1112
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 7: no one really knew who he was yet right like

1113
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 7: he wasn't firmly on the NFL draft, the mainstream NFL

1114
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 7: draft radar, if you will. I felt like he proved

1115
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 7: me right and made me.

1116
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 5: Look pretty smart.

1117
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 7: You don't go number thirty overall when I call you

1118
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 7: a best kept secret when no one's talked about you

1119
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 7: yet I felt great about that.

1120
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 5: And look, I can't take all the credit.

1121
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 7: I had an NFL scout kind of put him on

1122
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 7: my radar way back then said hey. I reached out

1123
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 7: to him and said, hey, who is the kid that

1124
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 7: no one's talking about right now that's got a chance

1125
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 7: to go in the first round.

1126
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 5: And he immediately texted me back.

1127
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 7: Maxwell Harriston Corner out of Kentucky reached out to my

1128
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 7: contacts down there was glad I could get him on

1129
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 7: the phone for that story.

1130
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 5: And again, the Bills, you.

1131
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 7: Know, they showed a lot of confidence in this kid,

1132
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 7: the athleticism They're gonna I think they're gonna come in

1133
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,919
Speaker 7: here and ask him to play a very notable role

1134
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 7: from the very beginning. I'll be surprised if he's not

1135
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 7: a week one starter in that secondary.

1136
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 3: I know Bill's fans would be very related to see

1137
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 3: an athletic profile like that out there a week one. Yeah,

1138
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 3: Land and Jackson, you also spoke with in the pre

1139
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 3: draft process, big, big, large human being. I don't know

1140
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 3: if you felt the same way when you spoke with him.

1141
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 3: You also said that he fit really well here in Buffalo.

1142
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 3: Why did you put the two and two together.

1143
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:43,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think number one.

1144
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 7: You know, I initially struggled with my land In Jackson

1145
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 7: evaluation throughout the pre draft process, and I'll tell you

1146
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 7: why and why I'm no longer have those concerns. There

1147
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 7: was some first round chatter early on, you know, you

1148
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 7: go even in January, February he's got the Senior Bowl.

1149
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 7: I didn't quite see that. But then when I marry

1150
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 7: the fact that the Bills get him at seventy two, overall,

1151
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 7: great value there and the role that they're gonna ask

1152
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 7: him to play. He's not gonna come in and be

1153
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 7: an every down starter. They've got great depth at that position.

1154
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 7: Greg Russo, Joey Bosa, no doubt are your starters there.

1155
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 5: And thenk there's some.

1156
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:18,959
Speaker 7: Depth that he'll have to compete with. You know, aj

1157
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 7: Fanessa for rotational snaps. You watch him on tape. I

1158
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 7: didn't always see the athleticism in honesty that you saw

1159
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 7: at the NFL Combine.

1160
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 5: What was it?

1161
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 7: I think a position best vertical forty and a half inches,

1162
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 7: a ten foot nine broad jump. You watch him on tape.

1163
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,919
Speaker 7: You know Arkansas, he did the dirty work. They asked

1164
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 7: him to play a lot of four eye It was

1165
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 7: a run stopping role. I think that capped his past

1166
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 7: rushing production a little bit. He had six and a

1167
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 7: half sacks in back to back years. What eventually made

1168
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 7: this a straightforward evaluation in Buffalo for me is this

1169
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 7: is what we call in the scouting community a high

1170
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 7: floor player. Part of what you said there, Carl, He's big, he's.

1171
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 5: Long, he's strong.

1172
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 7: Nobody gets fired for drafting Landon Jackson because he's gonna

1173
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 7: come in. He's gonna stop the run on early downs. Again,

1174
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 7: I see an ongoing theme here, similar to Maxwell Harrison,

1175
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 7: a team first player.

1176
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 5: He's gonna do the dirty work and allow.

1177
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 7: That's what allows guys like Gray Russo and Joey Bosa

1178
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 7: to pin their ears back and rush for the passer.

1179
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 7: You've got to stop the run on first, second down.

1180
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 7: That's what Landon Jackson does at such a high level.

1181
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 7: There is no doubt about it that he is an

1182
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 7: NFL caliber player.

1183
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 5: He plays with a terrific motor.

1184
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 7: And again, the size, the strength, some of the athletics,

1185
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 7: and he show it at the combine. He's gonna come

1186
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 7: in and help this Buffalo Bills defense right away.

1187
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 2: NFL draft analyst Justin Mellow from the Draft Network is

1188
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 2: on with us right now doing some research and talking

1189
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: about that of Buffalo Bills's rookies, a few of them

1190
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 2: who they drafted, and we're speaking about Landon Jackson right now.

1191
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 2: And Buffalo has been known as a team who will

1192
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 2: draft for trades and then figure out how do we

1193
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 2: fit these traits within our system, whether it be on

1194
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 2: offense or defense, and the coaching staff has done an

1195
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 2: incredible job of coaching around those traits, not necessarily saying

1196
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 2: this is what you have to be, it's how can

1197
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 2: we get the best out of you. Now with Landon Jackson,

1198
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 2: defensive codinator Bobby Babbitte has said, we want Jackson to

1199
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 2: be a three down defender. What does Jackson need to

1200
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 2: do to become bat at the NFL.

1201
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 7: Level, Well, I think he's still developing the pass rush

1202
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 7: arsenal and figuring that out. As I said, six and

1203
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 7: a half saxon back to back years. It's a nice number,

1204
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 7: but it's not going to allow you. It's not going

1205
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 7: to jump off the screen right at the college level

1206
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 7: when you're making the transition to a more difficult, a

1207
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 7: tougher NFL game, naturally, I think he's got to hone

1208
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 7: in on that pass rush Arsenal. Again, Arkansas didn't always

1209
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 7: do him a lot of favors. I think coach Babbage

1210
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 7: would probably agree when you turn on the tape, they

1211
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 7: ask him to play four. Iye, a lot more than

1212
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 7: they probably should have. I think they had that need

1213
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 7: in their defense and they probably had more faith in

1214
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 7: him than anyone else. But again, it was a selfless

1215
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 7: role for him to play because it didn't get the

1216
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 7: stats right. It didn't allow him to just rush the

1217
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 7: pass or pin his ears back on a down by

1218
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 7: down basis. That's the kind of stuff that maybe would

1219
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 7: have got drafted him. Sorry, it would have gotten him

1220
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 7: drafted earlier than seventy second overall. But no, he didn't complain.

1221
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 7: He went to work every day, kept his head in

1222
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 7: the playbook, did what was asked of him. When it

1223
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 7: comes to becoming a three down guy at the next level,

1224
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 7: and you're looking look at some of the highlights he

1225
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 7: got on screen, right, it's rush, it's stopping the run,

1226
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 7: it's playing that selfless role. So if he's gonna be

1227
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 7: a three down guy at the next level, he's gonna

1228
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 7: have to hone in on that pass rush. Arsenal most

1229
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 7: importantly Buffalo. They're gonna give him the resources. Coach Babich

1230
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 7: is one of the best in the business. There's no

1231
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 7: concerns with the landing spot there. They're gonna develop them.

1232
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 7: They're gonna work with the tools, curl some of what

1233
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 7: you mentioned, the length he jumps off the screen with

1234
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 7: that arm length, and some of the natural, you know,

1235
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 7: God given tools that he has in his in his

1236
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 7: tool belt, if you will. So for me, it's all

1237
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 7: about developing him as a pass rusher. And he's landed

1238
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 7: in the right spot in Buffalo.

1239
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 3: The only person who will make Lennon Jackson look small.

1240
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 3: It is the next hour we got to talk about

1241
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 3: in Dion Walker. At the combine, he came in at

1242
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 3: six foot seven, three hundred and thirty one pounds. Whoa

1243
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 3: big boy, big boy. I know that there are some

1244
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 3: concerns and that's why he dropped to the fourth round.

1245
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 3: This time last year. There were a lot of mock

1246
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 3: drazs that had him as a top fifteen to twenty player.

1247
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 3: I want to start with the positives here and the

1248
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 3: rosy outlook. If everything pops and everything goes well from him,

1249
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 3: what kind of player are we talking about? In defensive

1250
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 3: tackle Dion Walker.

1251
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 7: Well, there are only so many human beings with the

1252
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 7: type of size and athleticism that Dion Walker has walking

1253
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 7: on this earth. So you talk about the positives you

1254
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 7: come into twenty twenty three seven and a half sacks

1255
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 7: as a sophomore. There's that chatter, as you mentioned Carl,

1256
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 7: that he's going to be a first round pick. You know,

1257
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 7: six seven, three point thirty one. When it looks good,

1258
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 7: it looks as good as any defensive tackle in the

1259
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 7: National Foot League. Right, Getting him there consistently, that's the

1260
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 7: challenge that Sean McDermott faces. Right, he comes back in

1261
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four, doesn't quite live up to the hype,

1262
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 7: can't repeat the success that he had in twenty twenty three.

1263
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 5: He only had one and a half sacks.

1264
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 7: You know, I know scouts questioned if the effort was

1265
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 7: there consistently. Maybe they questioned the motivation a little bit.

1266
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 7: But again, when it's there, it looks as good as

1267
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 7: anybody in the league. Certainly, it looked as good as

1268
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 7: anybody in college football. Maddie you said earlier, you know,

1269
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 7: Buffalo at Tom's had a tendency. You know, the prospect

1270
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 7: we'll figure it out later. I don't think that was

1271
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 7: quite true with Maxwell Harriston or Landon Jackson, but I

1272
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 7: do think it's true with Dion Walker.

1273
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 5: Now.

1274
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 7: Part of the reason I still love the fit. If

1275
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 7: anyone's up to this challenge, it's a Super Bowl contender

1276
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 7: like the Buffalo Bills, right, it's a defensive minded head

1277
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 7: coach like Sean McDermott. They're comfortable taking a d On

1278
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 7: Walker because they know what they have in their locker room,

1279
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 7: not only from a leadership perspective, the play that room,

1280
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 7: but also the culture that they've built. This is an

1281
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 7: organization that wins and expects to win, and that comes

1282
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,479
Speaker 7: with a bit of a non nonsense mantra, and Dion

1283
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 7: Walker's gonna have to acclimate to that. And I'm very

1284
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 7: confident again in the people within this organization to get

1285
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 7: him there again. They're not gonna ask him to play

1286
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 7: a ton of snaps right away. You've got an Ed Oliver,

1287
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 7: You've got a Daikwon Jones, you drafted another, you know,

1288
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 7: interior guy in this class, and TJ. Sanders, and you

1289
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 7: drafted one last year in Dwayne Carter, who, by the way,

1290
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 7: was probably my favorite pre draft interview I did during

1291
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 7: that process. So I love the landing spot with Dean Walker.

1292
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 7: The sky's the absolute limit for this kid when he's on.

1293
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 7: I mean, when that light bulb comes on, it looks

1294
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 7: as as scary and as exciting as anybody in the game.

1295
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 2: Buffalo spent a lot of draft picks on their defensive

1296
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 2: line during the draft. They also spent free agency money

1297
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 2: on the defensive line, going out and getting Joey Bosa,

1298
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,919
Speaker 2: Ogin Joby and Michael Hoyt. Now Hoyton Ogin Joby will

1299
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 2: be suspended for the first six weeks, so you may

1300
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 2: see some of these rookies play meaningful snaps early on

1301
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 2: because of that. Where do you believe Jackson and Walker

1302
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 2: fit in with this defensive line this season?

1303
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 5: Well, I look at what the Bills did, and I

1304
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 5: don't think it's no secret.

1305
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 7: Right, Like, you've got to get past the Kansas City

1306
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 7: Chiefs in the AFC playoff picture to get to the

1307
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 7: Super Bowl. Well, how did the Fillodelphie Eagles embarrass them

1308
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 7: in the Super Bowl?

1309
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 5: Right?

1310
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 7: It was by rotating defensive linemen in and out, keeping

1311
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 7: them fresh and getting after the quarterback. When you have

1312
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 7: a fresh lineup you can trust those guys to pin

1313
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,919
Speaker 7: their ears back and get after Patrick Mahomes. I look

1314
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 7: at what I said earlier on at Edge, Joey Bosa,

1315
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 7: Greg Russo, AJ Fanessa. You're not gonna ask Land and

1316
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 7: Jackson to come in right away and give you forty

1317
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 7: fifty snaps every game, right, but he can come in

1318
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 7: and play that rotational role. Same thing with Delon Walker

1319
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 7: and TJ. Sanders, who they dres that position. You've got

1320
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 7: Daikwon Jones, You've got Ed Oliver, You've got Dwayne Carter

1321
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 7: who you drafted a year ago. You've got a couple

1322
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 7: of guys who are suspended Horgan beating by the time

1323
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 7: week five, Week six rolls around. A team like Buffalo

1324
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 7: can take that chance because they know that they're probably

1325
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 7: gonna have a good record by the time those guys

1326
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 7: come back, and they're only gonna get stronger as the

1327
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 7: year goes on.

1328
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 5: I love what Buffalo's doing, Sean McDermott.

1329
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 7: They love rotating again, love rotating those fresh bodies in

1330
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 7: and out of the lineup after adding all these guys

1331
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 7: that they did not only through the draft, but through

1332
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 7: free agency. As you said, Maddie, getting a Joey Bosa.

1333
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 7: What a huge get that is for them. They're gonna

1334
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 7: keep guys fresh. If one guy goes down, the next

1335
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 7: man up mentality's gonna be ready to step into this lineup,

1336
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 7: and I think you'd see minimal drop off based on

1337
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 7: how deep they are across this defensive line.

1338
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 5: I think the Sean.

1339
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 7: McDermott, the Brandon bean erap this is probably the deepest

1340
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 7: the Bills have ever been on the defensive line, and

1341
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 7: that gives them the best chance to finally get past

1342
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 7: you know, its chiefs and get past the roadblocks that

1343
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 7: they've had, you know, en route to the AFC Championship

1344
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 7: Game and so on.

1345
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 3: I'm putting you a bit on the spot here justin

1346
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 3: if I were to hit you back up and let's

1347
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 3: say twenty twenty eight, I'll call you on the phone.

1348
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, yo, justin between Max Harrison, Landon Jackson, and

1349
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 3: Dion Walker, which, if you have to put a stamp

1350
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 3: on it right now, who will be the player that

1351
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 3: you will say, yes, I can see that player actually

1352
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 3: becoming a Pro Bowl ish caliber player.

1353
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 4: Good question.

1354
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with Maxwell Harrison, you know. With Landon Jackson,

1355
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 7: I think there's a little bit of athletic limitations that

1356
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 7: might prevent him from getting quite to that level, but

1357
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 7: I think he'll be a very good NFL player. With

1358
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 7: Dion Walker, there's you know, the question marks that the

1359
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 7: Bills will have to address. With Maxwell Harrison, I have

1360
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 7: an easier time seeing it because I can marry athleticism

1361
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 7: with production. Corners have to be athletic, right, Well, he

1362
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 7: checks that box, as I said, four two eight at

1363
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 7: the combine thirty nine and a half inch vert ten

1364
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 7: foot nine broad. And then I look at the production.

1365
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 7: Five interceptions the last time he played a full season,

1366
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 7: two of which he returned for touchdowns in the same

1367
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 7: game against Vanderbilt in that year. And then I look

1368
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 7: at the ability to tackle come downhill, sixty six tackles

1369
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty three, sixteen pass breaks in his last

1370
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 7: twenty games. Production meets athleticism meets size. When that when

1371
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 7: talent meets preparation, right, that's when the Pro Bowl talent's

1372
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 7: really kind of rise to the top. And I've got

1373
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 7: a lot of confidence in Maxwell Harrison having a terrific career.

1374
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 5: I'm excited about this Bill's draft class in general. I

1375
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 5: mean Jackson Hawes.

1376
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 7: I interviewed two hundred and twenty prospects throughout the the

1377
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 7: pre draft process. I don't think I did one I

1378
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 7: enjoyed more than Jackson Hawes.

1379
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 2: And I mean that, Okay, what did you enjoy about

1380
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 2: Jackson Hawes? Because when we got to speak to him

1381
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 2: right after he got drafted some of his answers, I

1382
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 2: was like, you sound like the meanest football player who

1383
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 2: loves to block and loves to be violent. What did

1384
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 2: you learn about Buffalo's fifth round pick.

1385
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 5: Well, I'll say this about him, and I mean it

1386
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 5: as a compliment.

1387
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 7: Jackson Hawes might be the biggest on field psycho in

1388
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 7: the NFL, and you can't ask like I asked him

1389
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 7: about what he likes to block. Maddie, I hope you

1390
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 7: got a similar answer. I'm just gonna read it almost verbatim.

1391
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 7: He said, it's fun playing football is the only situation

1392
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 7: where it's acceptable in life to get violent with another

1393
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 7: human being. I have a fascination and liking with the

1394
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 7: movie Gladiator. I think we as a society appreciate violence

1395
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 7: when it's in the appropriate setting, and it's only appropriate

1396
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 7: in a football field or a combative sport. We get

1397
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 7: to be violent in an arena like setting. He said

1398
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 7: to me, football gives me a chance to go toe

1399
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 7: to toe with another man, and the human is the

1400
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 7: greatest opponent you could ask for.

1401
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 5: When it comes to football.

1402
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 7: You have to use tactics, force, strength, and grit to

1403
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 7: tip the game in your favor. I mean, I almost

1404
01:06:57,880 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 7: hung up the phone. I said, who am I talking

1405
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 7: to here?

1406
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 5: Right?

1407
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 7: Like, this guy is a full blown psycho. And again

1408
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 7: I say that in the most positive way possible. If

1409
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 7: you're a Buffalo Bills fan and you were wondering, why

1410
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 7: did they use a pick on a tight end when

1411
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 7: we've got Dalton Kincaid and we've got Dawson Knox. This

1412
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 7: guy's gonna do the dirty work in the trenches that

1413
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 7: lets Dalton Kincaid be Dalton Kincaid, right, I mean, he

1414
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 7: was the best blocker in this class. This is a throwback.

1415
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 7: Why the Bills The name escapes me now. They had

1416
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 7: one a couple of years ago that played for what

1417
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 7: ten was it? Lee Evans played ten eleven years in

1418
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 7: the NFL. That's gonna be Jackson Hawes, right, Like these

1419
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 7: tight ends coming out of college, they don't appreciate that anymore.

1420
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 5: They want to catch the football. They want the accolades,

1421
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 5: they want the numbers.

1422
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 7: Jackson Hawes just wants to get down in the trenches

1423
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 7: and embarrass his opponent and put them on the ground.

1424
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 5: That helped what's a terrific Bills.

1425
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 7: Offensive line, by the way, create even more lanes for

1426
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 7: the running back. Again, let these tight ends titand can

1427
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 7: only run rounds if I've got another tight end blocking

1428
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 7: on the line of scrimmage. So Jackson Hawes, if so

1429
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 7: that a good fit, He's gonna be so much fun.

1430
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 7: I've been keeping up with them throughout the off season,

1431
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 7: exchanging messages, and they absolutely love him down there in Buffalo.

1432
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 5: I can't wait for you guys to see him at

1433
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 5: training camp.

1434
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 7: This guy's gonna play such a sort of the unsung

1435
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 7: hero rule on this offens.

1436
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 5: This here, and he's gonna take pleasure in doing it.

1437
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 3: When he was reading that, I didn't know if he

1438
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 3: was talking about an army general or I can't wait

1439
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 3: to see what Jackson Halles and I know during training camp.

1440
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 3: They don't, you know, tackle, So his true strainks won't

1441
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 3: shine at that point preseason, but preseason, oh, where he's

1442
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 3: playing deep into the third quarter where he's going to

1443
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 3: against some poor third stranger who won't play in the NFL.

1444
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 3: He's going I can't wait for that. I truly can't wait.

1445
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 3: I also want to touch on some of the work

1446
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 3: you've done throughout the NFL as well. You recently wrote

1447
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 3: an article on Aaron Rodgers and some of the expectations

1448
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 3: for him this upcoming year. The Bills do play the

1449
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers later on in the season. If you're a

1450
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,919
Speaker 3: Bills fan, what should they expect? What is a reasonable

1451
01:08:55,960 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 3: expectation for what he will do this year in Pittsburgh.

1452
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 7: Probably be a bit similar to what it was last

1453
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 7: year in New York, where you can clearly see there

1454
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 7: are some limitations as his game is aged. I think

1455
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 7: the goal in Pittsburgh is they've got a better surrounding

1456
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 7: cast around him, right, They've got a young offensive line,

1457
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 7: but they've got a lot of expectations.

1458
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:17,879
Speaker 5: They got two bookends.

1459
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 7: I believe they've used that to the back first round

1460
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 7: picks on offensive tackles.

1461
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,520
Speaker 5: They did, and Broderick Jones and Troy Fatanu.

1462
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 7: They've got some good young interior lineman Mason McCormick, Zach

1463
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 7: Fraser and some of the others they've got down there,

1464
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 7: so they believe in the supporting cast they're putting around him.

1465
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 7: They trade for DK Metcalf, a true legitimate go to

1466
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 7: number one receiver. They've got Arthur Smith. They acquired John

1467
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 7: new Smith recently in a trade with of course, the

1468
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 7: Buffalo Bill's rival to Miami Dolphins recently. The Steelers believe

1469
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 7: in the supporting cast they're putting around Aaron Rodgers. They're

1470
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 7: not gonna ask him to carry the team. They're gonna

1471
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 7: ask him to just play a supporting role. I think

1472
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 7: that was the goal for what it was supposed to

1473
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 7: be in New York with the Jets, but they just

1474
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 7: ended up asking him to do too much and it

1475
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 7: didn't work out for Buffalo. It'll be an interesting matchup again.

1476
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 7: I like the Bills defensive line in that matchup against

1477
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 7: the Steelers offensive line. That again, it's got a ton

1478
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 7: of ascending talents, but we're still asking questions about who

1479
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 7: they're going to be at this level. There are pass

1480
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 7: catching questions. Outside of DK Metcalf. We don't quite know

1481
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 7: who the number two receiver is after they trade George Pickens,

1482
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 7: and it was the same problem in New York where

1483
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 7: it was Garrett Wilson and they went to you know,

1484
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 7: they tried to go get Devonte Adams late in the season,

1485
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 7: but it was too late. At that point, the season

1486
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 7: had mostly been lost and they had an interim head coach.

1487
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 7: So I think Pittsburgh will believe in what they're putting

1488
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 7: them around them. They'll believe in the strong you know,

1489
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 7: they're not changing coaches in the middle of the year, right,

1490
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 7: a strong coaching staff, you know, spearheaded by Mike Tomlin.

1491
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 7: But for there are some limitations there with Aaron Rodgers

1492
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 7: at this point in his career, and I think Buffalo

1493
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 7: has the personnel required to take advantage of it.

1494
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued to see how it works for Pittsburgh

1495
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 2: because they get Aaron Rodgers and then they get a

1496
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 2: Dk Metcalf, but then they get some other pieces that

1497
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 2: may not be the shiniest chips out there, but they

1498
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 2: are pushing chips to the middle. We're not sure if

1499
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 2: they're the best chips, but you know, there's some chips,

1500
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 2: and Mike Tomlin believes it's good enough to contend with

1501
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 2: their division and the conference. And I'm very intrigued to

1502
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 2: see what type of team the Pittsburgh Steelers will be.

1503
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 2: But Justin, we want to thank you for the time

1504
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 2: helping us break down some of Buffalo's newest players. So

1505
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 2: excited to see them on the field come week one.

1506
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 5: It was my pleasure. Thanks for having me on.

1507
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 6: All right.

1508
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 2: That was NFL Draft analyst Justin Mellow for the Draft

1509
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,480
Speaker 2: Network who just joined us. Did a bunch of interviews

1510
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,480
Speaker 2: with some of Buffalo's rookies ahead of being.

1511
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 4: Drafted by Buffalo.

1512
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 2: Fun to talk about some of those guys and hear

1513
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 2: what he had to say about Jackson Hawes. Oh my gosh,

1514
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 2: give me the preseason right now.

1515
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see my man. And like I said,

1516
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 3: a third quarter, get some poor third or four string

1517
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 3: linebacker who doesn't when I really hit it that or

1518
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 3: like a cornerback on the perimeters. I do not envy

1519
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 3: that whatsoever.

1520
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 4: All Right, we got to take a break.

1521
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 2: But when we return answering questions from the Friday fan

1522
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 2: mail bag, if you have any for us and want

1523
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 2: to give us a call, go ahead, Ato three oh

1524
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 2: five fifty. The phone lines are open for you. Next

1525
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,640
Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live, We're presented by Clida Health On

1526
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, we're back here on one

1527
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 2: Bill's Live Matti Glab alongside of Carl Jones. Today we

1528
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 2: had a topic for you to answer. It's which Bill's

1529
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 2: position group will surprise us most in twenty twenty five.

1530
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: Feel free to tweet at us with your answers or

1531
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 2: give us a call at ATO three oh five fifty.

1532
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 2: First from Christine, I'm excited for the defensive line.

1533
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 4: We picked up some.

1534
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 2: Good players and hopefully they will jive together and create

1535
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,839
Speaker 2: a lot of havoc for other teams. The jive together

1536
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 2: part is sticking out to me because that's something that

1537
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 2: the defensive line is going to have to take time

1538
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 2: to do through training camp. They've already started it during

1539
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp. I spoke with Larry ogin Joby during

1540
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp, just asking how are you gelling with

1541
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 2: these guys?

1542
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:18,639
Speaker 4: What are you doing?

1543
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 2: And he said, it's really spending time with one another

1544
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 2: as much as we can inside the building and outside

1545
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 2: of the building. Ogin Joby said, I've known people on

1546
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 2: this team. I know people who have played for this team.

1547
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 2: So he said, the guys are as advertised. He said,

1548
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 2: Ed Oliver is at Oliver, same as aj Apanessa. It's

1549
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 2: a fun group to be a part of.

1550
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 3: And that's one of the perks of going away to

1551
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 3: Saint John Fisher for the two and a half weeks

1552
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 3: that they're there, where you're literally locked in a dormitory

1553
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 3: with a bunch of grown men. For that there's nothing

1554
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 3: else to do, but hey, let's go play the new

1555
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 3: College Football Game, or let's go play Madden or whatever

1556
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 3: the case. Maybe let's go play some can jam of

1557
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 3: cards or whatever. I think that's one opportunity to do so.

1558
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 3: And even the rookie class, when you see TJ. Sanders

1559
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 3: and Deon Walker walk around, the two SEC boys, they

1560
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 3: are already following around each other, and so I think

1561
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 3: that that is very important, especially when you get late

1562
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 3: in the year where you just you have that nonverbal

1563
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,759
Speaker 3: communication where you just know where your guy is supposed

1564
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 3: to be on any given snap without letting it be known.

1565
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 3: So I think that part is very important. But hopefully

1566
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 3: the chemistry part of this picks up over the next

1567
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 3: let's say, by August fifteenth, they'll be where they want

1568
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 3: to be based all the time they got spent in

1569
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 3: the dorm.

1570
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 2: By the time they come home from camp, you gotta

1571
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 2: check that box from yulis the linebackers. Everyone is expecting

1572
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:38,839
Speaker 2: the back end to improve with all the new corners

1573
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 2: and safeties, but the linebacker play is really this special

1574
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: sauce on this defense. If we get Milano and Bernard

1575
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 2: pairing like we were expecting at the beginning of last season,

1576
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 2: gonna be heck to pay. I like that, Yeah, them

1577
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 2: being together and being healthy on the field again, like

1578
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,799
Speaker 2: I said, they have not had a full season together

1579
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 2: next to each other on the field. In Matt Milano,

1580
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 2: when he came back to Buffalo last year and started

1581
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 2: to play, there's going to be a ramp up. There's

1582
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 2: going to be a warm up. You're not going to

1583
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 2: step on the field and be the Matt Milano that

1584
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 2: we all know and love. But he got close to

1585
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 2: being that in the playoffs. There was that play during

1586
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 2: the Broncos game in the playoffs where he ran down

1587
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 2: bon Nicks and sacked him and pushed him out of bounds,

1588
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,799
Speaker 2: and watching him cover that field, it was kind of like, Oh,

1589
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 2: there's Matt Milano and getting to see him do that

1590
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 2: alongside of Terrell Bernard, who is just a force. I

1591
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 2: cannot wait to see what that looks like for the

1592
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 2: defense in its entirety.

1593
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 3: You spoke on it early on in the show, where

1594
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 3: they haven't had a lot of reps in game together,

1595
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 3: maybe nine ten at most. So just the more time

1596
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 3: on tasks that they get to stand with each other

1597
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 3: where they say, hey, we see this formation, Hey is

1598
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 3: your turn to go? Or you get over the guard

1599
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 3: or the tackle, whatever the case may be. I'm super

1600
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 3: excited to see how he looks health wise entering I

1601
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 3: believe his age thirty season, if I'm not mistaken, throw

1602
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 3: Bernard entering the prime athletically of his career as well.

1603
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 3: I think that if they are healthy, if they're out

1604
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 3: there doing their thing, super duper excited to see them,

1605
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 3: because if we wanted to look on paper comparing the

1606
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 3: position groups for the rest of the National Football League,

1607
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 3: that group probably is highest compared to let's just say

1608
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,599
Speaker 3: a cornerback room. He asked a question safeties as well,

1609
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 3: defensive line question marks everywhere. If everyone hits those two backers,

1610
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how many parents I'm taking over them exactly.

1611
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 2: And you add Dorian Williams into the mix. When they

1612
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 2: want to go, you know, when they want to stack

1613
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 2: the box and go heavier on defense, they're forced to

1614
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 2: be reckoned with with the way that Williams can tackle.

1615
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to watching that group this year

1616
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 2: for sure. We've got a phone caller on the line,

1617
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 2: so let's go to Rich from Cheekawaga. Rich, how you doing?

1618
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 6: Hey, Maddy? Hi Carl, how you doing.

1619
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 4: We're doing great. What do you have for us today?

1620
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 6: I have two questions quick ones. Do you think Brandon

1621
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 6: Bean is excited about the rankings of Cook as far

1622
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 6: as eight or eleven? Do you think this is going

1623
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:12,720
Speaker 6: to help them with negotiations? And the second one is

1624
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 6: do you think Bean should be on the phone with

1625
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:18,480
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay with one of our surplus of offensive tackles

1626
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 6: saying hey, let's make a trade because we're probably going

1627
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,480
Speaker 6: to lose one of them being cut anyways.

1628
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 2: Good questions, Thanks for that. Yeah, thanks for the call, Rich,

1629
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 2: appreciate it. James Cook, let's talk about him first. Yeah,

1630
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 2: we see all these lists coming out. I don't know

1631
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 2: how much stock it holds in a GM's mind. I

1632
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 2: think in terms of being a general manager, your judgment

1633
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,600
Speaker 2: is done by what you see on the field and

1634
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 2: how you compare it yourself to the rest of the

1635
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 2: league rather than watching where other.

1636
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 4: People rank your running back.

1637
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 2: Now, that list that we talked about not having to

1638
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 2: do with running backs, but ESPN's top ten lists of safeties.

1639
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 2: Now that is done by exact scouts and coaches. So

1640
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 2: there is some value in perhaps looking at a list

1641
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,679
Speaker 2: like that because it is judged by your colleagues, which

1642
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 2: are the people that you're talking to constantly, whether it's

1643
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 2: in terms of doing a deal or whether it's being

1644
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 2: around each other. You are going to talk to people

1645
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 2: around the league, and we know that Brandon Bean does that.

1646
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what happens in the coming

1647
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 2: weeks if, if anything happens. Now when Brandon Bean spoke

1648
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 2: of the James Cook deal, the last thing, one of

1649
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,679
Speaker 2: the last things he said was you know, we expect

1650
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,640
Speaker 2: Cook to be at training camp whether he has a

1651
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 2: deal or not. That kind of perked all of our

1652
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 2: ears up because that was like, wait, are you talking

1653
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 2: or not have a deal or not? What does that mean?

1654
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 2: We're not sure what that means. But we spoke to

1655
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 2: a couple of people. Cam Wolfe was one of them

1656
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 2: from NFL Network, and he did say the door is

1657
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 2: still cracked open in terms of the ongoing conversations surrounding

1658
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 2: a James Cook deal. Wolfe said he believes the two

1659
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 2: parties are still far apart in coming together on a number,

1660
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 2: but that there are still conversations that are happening.

1661
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think no disrespecting Maurice Jones. You a

1662
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 3: fantastic running back. I don't think his opinion on where

1663
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 3: James Cook ranks is going to have too much sway

1664
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 3: in Brandan Bean's eyes. The ESPN one though, like you

1665
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 3: just alluded to execs, coaches, fellow gms, that definitely, I

1666
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 3: don't want to say too much weight, but Brendan Bean

1667
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 3: sees that and just may go hmm and then go

1668
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 3: about it. Yeah, I think that matters. I will say

1669
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 3: about the second part of that question with the offensive lineman,

1670
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 3: I hear you, and it sounds great to like, just hey,

1671
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 3: call Tampa Bay and see if they want one of

1672
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 3: the surplus of guys, whether that's a Vandon Mark and

1673
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 3: Alec Anderson, whoever the case may be. Offensive linemen are

1674
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 3: it's the one position where depth is of the utmost

1675
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 3: importance because there's a weak link system. If one guy

1676
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 3: isn't up to par, the entire ship is going to sink.

1677
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:02,799
Speaker 3: So what I mean by that is if Dion Dawkins

1678
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 3: missus a month, that that death piece that you just

1679
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 3: sent off to Tampa Bay, now you're the ship that's

1680
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 3: going to sink. So it sounds great unless Tampa Bay

1681
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 3: calls back and say, hey, we'll give a second round

1682
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 3: pick for Alec Anderson, which I don't think they would do,

1683
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 3: or they go like, hey we'll give up pick forty. Well,

1684
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 3: then yes, Brandon being don't allow them to hang up

1685
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 3: you say yes immediately. Outside of that, though, offensive linemen

1686
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 3: are so valuable with the death pieces as well, and

1687
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 3: we know how injuries. I know the Bill's offensive line

1688
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 3: has been super healthy the past two seasons. That isn't

1689
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 3: guaranteed next year, right right knock. That isn't guaranteed for

1690
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. So I don't recommend just offloading offensive

1691
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 3: line death just to help out another team.

1692
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 2: If there is a position group where you would offload someone,

1693
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 2: it would be the offensive line because I do believe

1694
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 2: that's where they have their surplus of wealth. Now at

1695
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 2: this point in the off season, I don't know if

1696
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 2: I'd be running to the phone to do right now,

1697
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 2: wait and see what you have during training can and

1698
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 2: kind of watching.

1699
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 4: How it all pans out.

1700
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 2: Yes, you can guess who the starting five are going

1701
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 2: to be because they were on the field together last season.

1702
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 2: But they have some important depth pieces who are draft

1703
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 2: picks last year that I think you have grown in

1704
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 2: ways in Cedric van pran Grainger and Tyland Grabil. Alec

1705
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 2: Anderson proved to be a very important piece to this

1706
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,639
Speaker 2: team last year when they decided to go a little

1707
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 2: bit heavier and run the football. It'll be interesting to

1708
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 2: see what they do this year with Jackson Hawes and

1709
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 2: the addition of Jackson Hawes. I know a lot of

1710
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:33,639
Speaker 2: the times there was a tight end on the field

1711
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 2: with Alec Anderson.

1712
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 4: Too, so we'll see.

1713
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 2: And there are other names that have been used as

1714
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 2: depth pieces, and Brian Vandermark is an interesting name there

1715
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 2: because Buffalo has used him when they needed an extra

1716
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 2: body when somebody's gone down. But yeah, that position group

1717
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 2: has a lot of good names a part of it.

1718
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 2: And we joke here on the show that some of

1719
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 2: the guys who are not rotating because we don't rotate,

1720
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 2: but some of the guys who are depth pieces on

1721
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 2: the offensive line could be starting on another NFL team.

1722
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 3: I feel the same way as well. I mean, when

1723
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 3: Ryan Bates was here in Buffalo, he didn't he wasn't

1724
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 3: a full time starter. He goes to Chicago and plays there,

1725
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 3: So that's very valid for sure. I just want to

1726
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,519
Speaker 3: make that point again September one, where if you may

1727
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 3: have to cut, abandon Mark or yeah, one of those

1728
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 3: draft picks, sure hit up Tampa Bay and say, hey,

1729
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 3: is that second round pick still on the table, But

1730
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 3: you make that call. Outside of that, it's January twentieth.

1731
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 3: Who I mean, it's July twentieth and training camp hasn't

1732
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,720
Speaker 3: even begun yet. Let's wait a little bit.

1733
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait to see what you got from Connor. The

1734
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 2: defensive line. I think with all the additions, as well

1735
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 2: as the rotation the defensive line utilizes, we will see

1736
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 2: a more dominant group. My hope is that with the rotation,

1737
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 2: we will see the best version of Joey Bosa. I'm

1738
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 2: very excited for TJ. Sanders and Landon Jackson.

1739
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 5: TJ.

1740
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 4: Sanders is somebody.

1741
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 2: Yes we have talked about him, but sometimes I feel

1742
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 2: like we spend more time talking about Landa Jackson and

1743
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:06,879
Speaker 2: Dion Walker and TJ. Sanders got drafted ahead of those guys,

1744
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 2: and it might be because you know, in a lot

1745
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 2: of lists and doing homework leading up to the NFL Draft,

1746
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,719
Speaker 2: it wasn't like TJ. Sanders was a huge name out there.

1747
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 2: I believe TJ. Sanders is somebody who Buffalo thought he

1748
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 2: really fits what we do and we can get a

1749
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 2: lot out of him based on how he's played, and

1750
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 2: it makes sense for today's NFL in that we need

1751
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 2: pass rushers on the inside and TJ. Sanders can fit that.

1752
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 4: Bill.

1753
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to get into the football jargon

1754
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 3: of like, hey, who's lined up at one to three

1755
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,479
Speaker 3: whatever on the defensive line, but I do know it

1756
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 3: is super intriguing to just think about if you were

1757
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 3: to it's Week nine and the rookies are starting to

1758
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 3: turn the corner a little big, and you have Greg Russeau,

1759
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 3: a healthy Joy Bosa, and then like a TJ. Sanders

1760
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,679
Speaker 3: at one of the defensive tackle spots lineups to Ed Oliver.

1761
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 3: I know that's exciting to see. I can't wait to

1762
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 3: see if that's how it turns out. I know that

1763
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 3: there are some concerns with like, hey, would you want

1764
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 3: to play TJ Sanders full time next day at Oliver,

1765
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 3: I hear that I'm not willing to box any player

1766
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 3: in that hasn't never played a snap in the NFL yet.

1767
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 3: So that's maybe where some of the pushback is on

1768
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 3: the optimism with TJ. Sanders here in Buffalo. But my

1769
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:19,639
Speaker 3: man has never even put on shoulder pads in Buffalo

1770
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 3: yet outside of the photo shoot. Let's wait a little

1771
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:25,639
Speaker 3: bit before we write off these players' careers and boxing

1772
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 3: into who they can and can be.

1773
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited to see what TJ. Sanders can do.

1774
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 2: Just watching some of his college tape and even seeing

1775
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 2: him during mandatory mini camp. I mean that was a

1776
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 2: defensive lineman that stuck out right away because I think

1777
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 2: in the three practices we watched during mini camp, he

1778
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 2: batted down two balls at the line of scrimmage and

1779
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 2: came flying through, showcasing his basketball skills and the ability

1780
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 2: to be an athletic defensive tackle, which is something that yes,

1781
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,759
Speaker 2: you have to be athletic to play in the NFL,

1782
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 2: but you don't always see it from a defensive tackle position.

1783
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 2: And I think that's what they have in a guy

1784
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 2: like Sanders from matt I would say the cornerbacks but

1785
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 2: Bosa and company are going to steal the show.

1786
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 4: Go Bills.

1787
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa is someone who a lot of us fingers crossed.

1788
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 2: He is healthy throughout the entire season, and I'm glad

1789
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 2: Buffalo had those years with Von Miller because I think

1790
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,640
Speaker 2: having Von Miller on this roster and learning how to

1791
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 2: use him post injury really helps them get ready for

1792
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 2: a player like Joey Bosa.

1793
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 3: I've been following Joey Bosa ever since he was at

1794
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 3: the ohause At University a decade plus ago, and the

1795
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 3: fact that he's back here and I get to follow

1796
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 3: his career once again super intriguing to see. Obviously, is

1797
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 3: a much different player now. Back then he was some

1798
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 3: five star recruit that helped lead the Buckeuts to a championship.

1799
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 3: I know Buffalo Bill's mafia is hopeful that he can

1800
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,759
Speaker 3: do the same here. But even if he isn't maybe

1801
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 3: a full time starter who's getting seventy percent of the

1802
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,639
Speaker 3: snap sixty percent of the snaps, if he's a player

1803
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 3: who can just mentor the younger players and just show

1804
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 3: them one or two pass rush moves how to be

1805
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,679
Speaker 3: a VET, that'll be contagious for the rest of their own.

1806
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we return closing things up here on One

1807
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 2: Bills Live. Next, we're presented by Glydehalth on Buffalo Bills Radium.

1808
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 4: Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1809
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 2: A couple of minutes left in the show, so we're

1810
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 2: going to continue to answer some of your questions. Read

1811
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:39,720
Speaker 2: off those comments from our topic today. Chuck says from

1812
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 2: Wednesday's show, how about a new wrinkle for special teams.

1813
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 2: If I'm thinking of a new wrinkle for special teams,

1814
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 2: it's the fact that they have a new special teams coordinator.

1815
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 2: I think adding a new face to that room is

1816
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 2: going to add a bunch of different wrinkles to that

1817
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 2: group because you have someone who wasn't here last year

1818
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,759
Speaker 2: and also spent last year not coaching in the NFL.

1819
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 2: So you got a chance, Chris Taber did, got a

1820
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 2: chance to watch from the sidelines and kind of take

1821
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 2: in the dynamic kickoff rule and everything else that happened

1822
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 2: and figure out these are how these NFL teams played it.

1823
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 4: This is how I want to play it.

1824
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 3: I remember watching the XFL, which they I believe that

1825
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 3: the NFL got these these new kickoff rules from in

1826
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 3: year one. They were very vanilla with how they were

1827
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 3: doing things, but in the ensuing years after that they

1828
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 3: started to get a little funky and change things up.

1829
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 3: I assume the NFL will be the same way, where hey,

1830
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 3: last year, let's just stick with the basics and let's

1831
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 3: just make sure that we don't get a procedural penalty

1832
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 3: every single time this happens. Okay, this upcoming year, ask

1833
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 3: some more sauce and flare it up a little bit.

1834
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 3: I'm hopeful for that, maybe some reverses back there. I

1835
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 3: know Contricton, I really like what he showed last year

1836
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 3: take another step this upcoming season as well in the

1837
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 3: returning game. So yeah, I'm excited to see if they

1838
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 3: can enhance that for sure.

1839
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 2: All Right, back to our question of which Bills position

1840
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 2: group will surprises the most in twenty twenty five, Jack says,

1841
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:07,719
Speaker 2: I have cautious optimism for the wide receivers. Shakir is great,

1842
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 2: and I bet Coleman takes a huge step. Palmer should

1843
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:13,759
Speaker 2: add a deep strike element we've lacked, And if Samuel

1844
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 2: can stay on the field, I think he's better than

1845
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 2: we saw. More's a true wild card, talented. Can he

1846
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,800
Speaker 2: put together? Can he put it together? With seventeen, everybody

1847
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 2: eats and as you kind of recall all these players

1848
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 2: on the roster and a part of the wide receiver room. Yeah,

1849
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 2: there's a lot of upside to some of these newer

1850
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 2: players and some of the players that were on the

1851
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 2: roster last year. It's going to be interesting to see

1852
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 2: what Joe Brady has planned.

1853
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 4: For the group as a whole.

1854
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 3: Is the room. I don't think the room has a

1855
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 3: bunch of players who are great at everything, but I

1856
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 3: think they have a bunch of players who excel in

1857
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 3: one or two things, and it's up to Joe Brady

1858
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 3: to put them in the positions to excel at those traits.

1859
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:51,760
Speaker 3: Whether it's hey, Josh Palmer, just win one on one,

1860
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 3: I don't care about anything else. Yeah, Khalil Shakirak, get

1861
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 3: the ball in your hands and go to work. I

1862
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 3: think Joe Brady, who showed last year he can do that,

1863
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 3: the room fits really well in that regard.

1864
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 2: Joe Brady's gonna have something new for us in twenty

1865
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 2: twenty five.

1866
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 4: I believe that.

1867
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,519
Speaker 2: George says the DBS, I see them being faster and

1868
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 2: more athletic, but probably won't get as many turnovers as

1869
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,719
Speaker 2: last season, but expecting third down percentage to be much better.

1870
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 4: Go Bills.

1871
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:17,719
Speaker 2: Yes, third down percentage is something this team wasn't great

1872
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 2: at last year and something that they really want to

1873
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 2: correct for this season. Babbage said, the things that we

1874
01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 2: were not consistent at last year, that's what we need

1875
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 2: to hone on this offseason.

1876
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 3: The athleticism in the back end with the DBS, you

1877
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 3: can get a lot more creative when you know a

1878
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 3: guy can take some chances because he runs a four

1879
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 3: to three out there. So Sean McDermott is a salivating

1880
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 3: thinking about that.

1881
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 5: I love it.

1882
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:39,679
Speaker 2: Kawala Bharr says, I hope the linebacker surprises us most

1883
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 2: if the key players stay healthy and make splash plays. Definitely,

1884
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see Trell Bernard and Matt Malano. We

1885
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 2: want to thank you for tuning into one Bills Live

1886
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 2: for Maddi Glab, I'm for Carl Jones.

1887
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 4: I'm Maddi Glabb.

1888
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 2: We'll see you on Monday, guys,
