Speaker 1: but they also come out and do some team building

20
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: and they flop around on the field a little bit

21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: and they tug a war and dodgeball and all that stuff.

22
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: They haven't started that yet, but they will.

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: Well that's a really good point to bring up about

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 3: off season workouts. Is right now, there's not too too

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: much on these guys to to be in and out

26
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: of meetings, to be at practice, to be prep like

27
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: preparing for a game. It's you're working out your meeting,

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: you're doing rehab. It's the introductory phase to what's going on,

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: the introductive phase to the twenty twenty five NFL season.

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: And with that, new players are in the building and

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: you have to start to build chemistry with each other.

32
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: It's it's weird too because they come in they're doing

33
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: all this stuff in the meeting rooms and the classrooms

34
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: and the rehab and the lifting work. They can do

35
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: everything except play football. They can't do any of that.

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: So they you know, they got to come up with.

37
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: Stuff they can't do their professional Yeah.

38
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: They can't play football. So it's interesting how they get

39
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: together and acclimate these young guys. And you know how

40
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: it is. It's a new job. These guys. You got

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: to Here's where the meeting room is, Here's where their

42
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: weight room is, Here's where the training room is. Here's

43
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: what that that I you know, here's where you're here's

44
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: where the wide receivers meet, the DB's meeting. So they

45
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: got some and here's your new coach. You know, you

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: get a lot of new people and it's got that

47
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: kind of energy about It's pretty cool.

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: We I was listening into Josh Allen's press conference, which

50
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: we'll hear from Josh at the one thirty segment of

51
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 3: this show, So just in about thirty minutes we will

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 3: air Josh Allen's press conference. But Alan was talking about

53
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: the importance of building that team chemistry, the importance of

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: showing these new players, Hey, this is what it's like

55
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: to be a Buffalo bill. This is what is expected

56
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: of you. This is how our locker room works. This

57
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: is how we can invite you into this space. And

58
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: to have a veteran quarterback like Josh Allen show up

59
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: on day one and be completely bought into everybody eats

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: mantra that's going to make its run back for a

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 3: second year in a row, and to be bought into

62
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: all the newness inside of the building as it relates

63
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: to some new faces on the coaching staff and new

64
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: players a part of this team, I think just shows

65
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: just how good Buffalo is, Like how good of a

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: place they're in right now, just knowing that they have

67
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: leaders like Josh Allen in this building ready to pay

68
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: the way.

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you think about it too. We talked about

70
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: this in this light a little bit last year, but

71
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: there was so many much turnover and the team was

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: going to take a step back, and there was you know,

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: things were going to go as well. And obviously it

74
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: turned out way better than anybody outside the building thought

75
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: it was going to last year. But we spoke about

76
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: how now it's Josh's team. You know, he's the dude.

77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's the He's a reigning MVP, so you

78
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: can imagine he he you know, can call some shots.

79
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't mean like he's saying how this is gonna go,

80
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: but you know, everybody looks to him to set the tone.

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously we know from the first seven

82
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: or so years in his career, he's he's gonna be

83
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: the guy that's out there working hard. He's going to

84
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: be the guys out there setting the tone, and he's

85
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: up for it. So much has happened over the last

86
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: handful of years. It would put the Bills at the

87
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: at the top of they're at the top or the

88
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: top two or three in all the power rankings. They're

89
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: all there there, they got the raining m v P,

90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: they were in the AFC Championship game last year. Expectations

91
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: follow him wherever they go, and that I think that

92
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: changes things a little bit for the free agency coming.

93
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: Even a guy like Joey Bosa coming in, he's gonna

94
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, how's this work, Josh? What goes on here?

95
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: You know?

96
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: And Josh's the kind of guy say, here's how we're

97
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: doing it, and this is what we think, and this

98
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: is how we do it. And as similar and as

99
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: alike all NFL teams are, there's a lot of nuance

100
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: and differences inside the building. Once you get behind the curtain,

101
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: they're vastly different. And I think it's startling for some

102
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: players who've never played for another team, or you know,

103
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: it's the first time in on a new team, how

104
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: different it can be inside a building. And it's that's

105
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: part of the fun of it.

106
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: Josh Allen is entering his eighth NFL season, and in

107
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: every off season, Allen has identified something that he really

108
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: wants to hone in on, work on to improve ahead

109
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 3: of the next season. We'll hear from Josh Allen later

110
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: in the show today. But thinking about an NFL player

111
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 3: going in to their eighth season, what you're trying to

112
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: learn and improve on gets a lot more specific. There's

113
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: some obvious things, but some not so obvious things. So

114
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: from your perspective perspective as a former NFL player, what

115
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 3: are some of the not so obvious things that you

116
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: try to continue to learn as you're a veteran in

117
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: the league.

118
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: Well, here's what happens at this point for Josh especially

119
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: he's a PhD in the offense, he's I mean, he's

120
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: it's his offense. He knows all of it. He knows

121
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: how they got to where they're at now, what they

122
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: had to go through to get here. This play started

123
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: out like this, and then we added this wrinkle because

124
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: we were getting a lot of this. Then we added

125
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: another specific things like that. So Josh is looking at

126
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: this going, I need somebody to be able to do

127
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: this on this play, and hopefully one of these new guys.

128
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: I can teach one of these new guys to do

129
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: it like I need it to be done. He knows

130
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: what teams see in the bills a lot now, especially

131
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: with him at quarterback and playing as good as they are,

132
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: and they line their preparation and their off season up

133
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: to address how teams for an offense, how teams defend them,

134
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: and for a defense. Sean McDermott, Bobby Babbage, and all

135
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: those guys who've been around Greg Russeau, Bernard Milano, they

136
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: know how team, what teams like to do against them.

137
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: So they're like, okay, when we got to do that,

138
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: we got to be ready for this and that and

139
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: the other. And some teams do attack our defense. They

140
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: kind of attack you in the same way, but they

141
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: get there differently. So when the Patriots play us, they

142
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: like to do this and with this wide out, and

143
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: they use this guy that way because there's they're good

144
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: guys are this guy and that guy. So when they

145
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: attack us the way people attack us, they look like this.

146
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: The Dolphins look this other way. So a lot of

147
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: what they do at this time of year is rehash

148
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: all of that and say, Okay, what's our plan for

149
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: this now? How are we going to do this this year?

150
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: Are the new guys on our team gonna enable us

151
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: to stop that and force them into attacking us differently? Now,

152
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: all these questions go in and it's a lot of

153
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: I say, it's two things. One, it's a lot of

154
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: in between the years stuff. You gotta have knowledge, and

155
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: you got to get these new guys to a PhD

156
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: level in the offense and defense. And also for a

157
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: guy like Josh and guys like Milano and Trey White

158
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: who's been here but Rousseau and all, it's about how

159
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: do I train around my latest ailment. You know, I

160
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta train differently a little bit. I'm a

161
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: little bit older now. I gotta do some extra stuff

162
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: here and not as much over here. It's always being

163
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: fine tuned how they prepare to stay up at the

164
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: elite level, because it does change vastly given the miles

165
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: on your body. So it's it's it's a big consideration.

166
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: It becomes bigger and bigger the deeper into your career

167
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: you get.

168
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: And with Alan probably part of it is also peeling

169
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: back the layers on how teams played the Bills last season,

170
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: any any nuances to the game that he didn't see

171
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 3: in years prior to the twenty twenty four season, digging

172
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: deeper into Okay, what did this team do that was

173
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: a little bit different than we had seen before, What

174
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: are the trends that could happen kind.

175
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: Of predictingams are big, Yeah, what's.

176
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: Gonna happen in twenty twenty five?

177
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: And getting ready for that knowing that everybody eats is

178
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: not going anywhere right.

179
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: And so you got to get you do that and

180
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: everybody sees in you. You get all that, you know

181
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: all that. But then it's also this, Okay, what's our

182
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: secret weapon?

183
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 4: Go true?

184
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: What are we going to do now? We got Now

185
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: we've got Josh Palmer and I like, look at him,

186
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: he does this. Mac Hollins didn't do that. This guy

187
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: does that. You know, we got Shakir. I want to

188
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: do some stuff with Shakir this year that we weren't

189
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: able to do last year. Let's do this, And you

190
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: look around the league and say, okay, Deebo, Samuel's doing

191
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: this out in San Francisco. I like a little bit

192
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: of this. Let's put that in for Shakir and this,

193
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: you know this go with James Cook can do this,

194
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: and we can do that better than those guys. Let's

195
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: do that, you know that kind of stuff. So it's

196
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: not only shoring up where teams attack you and where

197
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: they see weakness, but it's also advancing what you do well.

198
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: All of that. It's it sounds massively complicated, and it is.

199
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: It's tedious, and it takes weeks and weeks and months

200
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: to get there, you know it. So by opening day

201
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: you unfurl a whole new team and it's you know,

202
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: you got to start. You work on the nuts and

203
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: bolts in times like this.

204
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: That's why it's good that phase one you probably can't.

205
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: It's good to.

206
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: Not have to hold the football or to do your

207
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: team activities yet, to walk before you run, to truly

208
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: start back from square one, to get everybody on the

209
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: same page.

210
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing too, because you can come back

211
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: on you know, it's April, right, these guys feel like

212
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. It's like, I feel great, good, let's

213
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: go play. And it's like, oh, now we're gonna today

214
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna play dodgeball, yeah, you know. Or today we're

215
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: gonna play tuga war, or today we're gonna have have

216
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, obstacle courses. We're gonna have relay races, you

217
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: know that kind of stuff. It's like, uh, you know, uh,

218
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: these guys also too. You get into a room with

219
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: with these dudes, and it's like this on every NFL team.

220
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: You're you're not working out with high school kids anymore,

221
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: you're not working out with your college buddies, or you're

222
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: working out with some guys who who want to turn

223
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: it up and keep score, and it just like everything

224
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: raises right. So it's is that in there as well,

225
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: and everybody feels great and it's good to see everybody,

226
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: and you just the adrenaline, the adrenaline really kicks in,

227
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: and you know, they got to the coaching stuff. You

228
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: got to keep a lid on it because you know,

229
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna You're not gonna break your leg in April.

230
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: Just calm down. It's that kind of stuff. And then

231
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, obviously there's some changes on the coaching staff

232
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: that have happened. The training, the weight and strength conditioning

233
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: coach has been revamped as well. All that has You

234
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: got to get acclimated, you got to get familiar, you

235
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: got to get back to where you were at the

236
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: end of the season mentally and get the new guys

237
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: there and then advance and all that's taken place like simultaneously.

238
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: The team announced mid March that Will Greenberg was taking

239
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: over as the head strength and conditioning coach. He was

240
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: somebody who was an assistant on the staff before taking

241
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: over as the head strength and conditioning coach, so has

242
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: familiarity with the group and a lot of the players

243
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 3: sing his praises. I've heard from several players in press

244
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: conferences talk about the things that Will Greenberg has done

245
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 3: to help them become better football players. Dion Dawkins is

246
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: one example. Dawkins has spoke about Will Greenberg a bunch

247
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: of times as it relates to him losing weight, getting healthier,

248
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: getting stronger. Will Greenberg was behind when Dean Dawkins started

249
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: biking a lot. I think that was during COVID and

250
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: in boxing for a workout. Terrell Bernard spoke about Will

251
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: Greenberg this past season in a book that he had

252
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: recommended Trel Bernard for leadership. So this is not somebody

253
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: who's just pouring into their lives in the weight room.

254
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 3: He's pouring into their lives as human beings and as

255
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: football players as well.

256
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, one of the things that goes

257
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: under the radar for the support staff that's here, the

258
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: medical staff, the training staff, and the strength and conditioning staff.

259
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:29,239
Speaker 1: It is their job to get the guys ready and

260
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: to keep them healthy, to train them in such a

261
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: way as they can they can stand up to the

262
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: riggers and not go down with We've got six pulled

263
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: hamstrings this year, remember like last year, like we had

264
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: like five years the risk injury, they have five risk injuries.

265
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: And you can say what you want, that's kind of

266
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: a quirky thing, but they look at that. And when

267
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: you get guys that are all doing the same workout,

268
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: in the same way and the same thing, you it's

269
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: odd as it sounds, you do get the same injuries.

270
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: You get a lot of the same. You know, the

271
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame trainer for the Bills back in the

272
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: day was Eddie Abramouski was a Hall of Fame trainer,

273
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: and he said, you'll go five years without having that,

274
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, one year, you'll have

275
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: six turf toes. You know, you'll have them all at once.

276
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: And it's because guys, you know, they work out together,

277
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: they do the same thing. At least to me, that's

278
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: what it means. But it's the staff and the support staff.

279
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: They they're trying to get these guys comprehensively ready because

280
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: what you do for Dion Dawkins is not what you're

281
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: gonna do for Khalil Shakir or Tredevious White or tarn Johnson.

282
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: They're different positions, they have different physical requirements, but they

283
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: got to be ready just as just as ready, and

284
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: they got to stay just as healthy theoretically. So that's

285
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: the science, the sports science of it. And this building's

286
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: crawling with top notch. I tell people all the time,

287
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: it's not that great looking weight room, it's the people

288
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: inside it that make the difference.

289
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: And it's not every single NFL team that's going to

290
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: have a sports science department to parallelng with their athletic

291
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: te training staff and their strength staff.

292
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: Not every team.

293
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: So it leaves in, let's try and get as analytical

294
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: as possible. But the Bills are one of those teams

295
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: who have invited analytics into the way that they coach

296
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: and into the way that they approach player health and

297
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: wellness and watching these guys as they're working out or

298
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: on the practice field, how much did player X run today?

299
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: What was his heart raak when he was training at

300
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: his highest Today is going to be a seventy percent

301
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: effort day Tomorrow? Is going to be a fifty percent

302
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: effort day. They take the time to really dive into

303
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: all of that, study it and try and help make

304
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: these players better off.

305
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: Because of that, they analytical.

306
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: Things, they really look at. It's a time they don't

307
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: look just at game day as being the getting the

308
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: guys ready. They want them to be ready during the week.

309
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things I've said off and

310
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: on during the Sean McDermott era here is they not

311
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: only have done a great job of keeping the team

312
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: fairly healthy at times, but also keep them healthy enough

313
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: to practice to prepare to play well. Back in the

314
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: old days, you used to get guys that I'll be

315
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: ready on game day. Just get me to game day,

316
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna They can't even They can't even like run

317
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: around until Friday of game week because you know they're

318
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: advanced in their years and they can't take reps. It

319
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: used to be commonplace. Now the key is getting them

320
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: on the field for practice so they can prepare to

321
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: play well. And the level of the entire team has

322
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: raised because of It's it all goes in. It all

323
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: starts in April. When these guys show up, they start

324
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: acclimating and they get him one on they get him

325
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: one on one, say yeah, that's he's doing that. You're

326
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: not doing that. Don't you do that? You do this,

327
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: And you got to get them to buy in because

328
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: a lot of guys, let's face it, their NFL players,

329
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: because they've had some pretty good success already. And to

330
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: get them to alter that protocol that they already developed themselves,

331
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: get them to alter it and sell it to them

332
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: and say, listen, this is going to be better for you.

333
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: And to get them to buy in. It's not always easy.

334
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: It's not easy because they don't you know, their body

335
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: is their car that they got to race in. I

336
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: don't want you tinkering with it. But it's a job

337
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: to sell them on what your program is going to

338
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: be and what it can do for him. And it's

339
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: that's as much as what happens in April and May

340
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: as any time of the year.

341
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 3: It's the off season, but this is an important part

342
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: of the off season. This is where the foundation is set,

343
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: the foundation is built for what's ahead. Once these guys

344
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: do get on the practice field, we have a jam packed.

345
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: Show for you today.

346
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 3: Like I said earlier, you're gonna hear from Bill's quarterback

347
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: Josh Allen at one point thirty and then coming up

348
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: at two o'clock, Bill's general manager Brandon Bean is going

349
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 3: to meet with the media because the twenty twenty five

350
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: NFL Draft is just two days away. We'll start right

351
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: there with Around the NFL. Let's go around the NFL.

352
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 3: It's presented by colide Health, the official health care system

353
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: of the Buffalo Bills, and according to ESPN NFL analyst

354
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: Peter Schreger, the Browns and the Giants are fielding trade

355
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: inquiries for their early picks in the NFL Draft. That's

356
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 3: number two and number three. Both teams are listening to

357
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: those calls, according to reports. Sources told Schreger that the

358
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 3: teams looking to trade up to number two or three

359
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: are pursuing Colorado wide receiver cornerback Travis Hunter, Penn State

360
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: pass rusher Abdul Carter, or Boise State running back Ashton Gent.

361
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: The Titans are not entertaining offers for the first overall

362
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: pick as of Tuesday morning, according to Schreger, and then

363
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: with the first round just two days away, this is

364
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 3: also the closest that we've gotten to game time without

365
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: any trades involving first round picks since nineteen sixty seven.

366
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: According to ESPN research.

367
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's standing pat nobody's traded anybody. It usually happens somebody,

368
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: you know, like a couple of weeks before. That's the

369
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: way when they got Josh Allen the year, in the

370
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: months leading up to it, they made a couple of

371
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: moves before draft day to get positioned. Nobody's doing that,

372
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: and that's I don't know whether it tells you something

373
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: about the state of the NFL or about this draft

374
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: class in particular. Now you said it, Travis Hunter, the

375
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, the wide receiver corner, the kid that wants

376
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: to play both ways, Abdul Carter, who's the best pass

377
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: rusher in this class, and by far, and Ashton Genty,

378
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: who is an elite running back. Those are three. I

379
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: think those guys got a chance to be game changers

380
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: right away. And that's why, because of the rest of

381
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: the class, everybody's trying to maybe I'd get up to

382
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: get one of them. So they're asking these teams are

383
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna call say what about it? And you say yes,

384
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: if you give me this, this, this, and this, and

385
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: everybody's like, I don't know, right, I mean, you gotta

386
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: that's the job of these general managers. What's it going

387
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: to take for me to get there? So they'll take

388
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: the call. But the answer might be no.

389
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 3: I think the fact that no trades have been done

390
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 3: yet speaks to what this draft represents now why there

391
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: could be trades ahead of Thursday in the first round.

392
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: From what analysts are saying on Twitter and on podcasts

393
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: is that the asking price in this year's draft may

394
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: be a little bit cheaper to move up because more

395
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 3: teams are willing to move back because the grades on

396
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: guys outside of the first five to ten players are

397
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: kind of all over the place.

398
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 4: That's right.

399
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: We've been talking about it, and you know, our listeners

400
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: know once you get outside that those guys that teams

401
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: believe are game wreckers, everything kind of becomes a crapshoot.

402
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: You may love this other guy, we think he's like

403
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: a fourth round or that kind of thing. So that range,

404
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: that spectrum of where you think guy's worth is going

405
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: to be vastly different team to team to team. Once

406
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: you get further down the first round in this draft,

407
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: it seems like it starts like right at the top ten,

408
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: maybe a little higher, maybe even the top eight of

409
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: guys that teams are like. You could get just about

410
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: anybody at pick twenty five, let alone pick ten. So

411
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: that I think that's you got teams that are like

412
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: I don't think so we can move back that. I

413
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: think that's really intriguing for this Now, the top three,

414
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: three or four or five.

415
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: Picks, it's gonna be costly to move.

416
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: I think he got to chisel those. I think he

417
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: might be able to chisel those in stone. There might

418
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: be some movement there if because of these three guys

419
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: we just talked about, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, and Genti

420
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: and maybe two or three other guys that are different

421
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 1: on every team, So there might be every team might

422
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: have eight or ten guys that they would you know,

423
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: would love to have, but the bottom half of that

424
00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: eight or ten guys are different for every team. So

425
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: your top four of the eight guys are gone, and

426
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: you got a chance to move up to get one

427
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: of your guys. You may be able to do it.

428
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: And if all of them are gone, you just say, listen,

429
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: get me back to the twenty eighth pick or the

430
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: thirtieth pick where Buffalo is because I don't think any

431
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: of these guys are gonna be worth pick fifteen or

432
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: pick twenty.

433
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: And because it might be cheaper to move back into

434
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: the first round or to move somewhere in the first round.

435
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: What I'm thinking, depending on how the draft goes, you

436
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: could see teams at let's say twenty five, twenty seven,

437
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: and beyond who feel like at this point we can

438
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: move out of the second round. You might get teams

439
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 3: that want to trade into the first round to go

440
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 3: get a quarterback. We could see more quarterbacks go in

441
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: the first round than expected, like a Jackson Dart. The

442
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: Giants may want to move up into the first round,

443
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 3: have two first round selections. They grab their Abdul Carter

444
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: or Travis Hunter, whoever is available with that third overall pick,

445
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 3: and then they trade back into the first round to

446
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 3: go get a quarterback who's stew of, who's still available,

447
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: who they have done their homework on, and decide it's

448
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: worth having the fifth year option.

449
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 1: On right because those teams start again is Cleveland at

450
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: thirty third pick, the Giants at thirty four, and Tennessee

451
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: is thirty five, so they kind of flip flop the

452
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: top three picks in the first round is Tennessee Cleveland Giants,

453
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: then it goes Cleveland Giants Tennessee at the top of

454
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: the second round, so they could hop back in and

455
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: a team like Buffalo who's at thirty will move back

456
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: two spots and pick up a couple picks. That kind

457
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: of thing is could happen, particularly if a guy like

458
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart is still sitting there at twenty eight or

459
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: twenty nine or thirty or thirty one, that kind of thing.

460
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think Buffalo is going to pick the

461
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: thirtieth pick. I mean, you and Brown are going to

462
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: be sitting here live, and I don't think it's gonna happen.

463
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: You might have to be hit sitting here though at

464
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: twenty four where Minnesota is. I mean, I don't know.

465
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,680

00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: Josh would do for a term of Joe for another year.

487
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 5: Do you still start at square one this week?

488
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 6: Yeah?

489
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 7: Absolutely, kind of go back and figure out what was good,

490
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 7: what was bad.

491
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 6: You know, it's still going back and look at.

492
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 7: The film and and every year it just seems like,

493
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 7: well I learned more, but there's still so much to learn,

494
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 7: and that's the exciting part of going into these meetings

495
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 7: and trying to break down my film and how I

496
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 7: can be better for this football team. You know, had

497
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 7: a lot of success in this offense, the offense in

498
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 7: total last year. I think we're one of the first

499
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 7: teams to have thirty passing thirty rushing touchdowns. So a

500
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 7: lot to build on and we're trying to be that

501
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 7: two dimensional offense and you know, still continue to keep

502
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 7: building on it.

503
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 5: On the Kansas City game, I mean it's become you've

504
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 5: paid to do it a few times, this one particular,

505
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: because it was right there to take. How long did

506
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 5: you reflect on it?

507
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's still it'll still sit with me.

508
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 7: A lot of should have could have winter is in

509
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 7: that game, and that's that's why we place to be

510
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 7: in those types of situations. And again we're still fighting,

511
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 7: still going to try to find a way to to

512
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 7: push through that and whether it's them or whoever, we

513
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 7: got to play moving forward. But just use it as

514
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 7: fuel and and you know, have a good OTAs and

515
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 7: and a good camp and try to go into the

516
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 7: season starting strong.

517
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 4: What have you done?

518
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 8: Where have you done this offseason, Josh, kind of fill

519
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 8: in the gaps of any working out what you've done

520
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 8: before coming back in here this week.

521
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, just trying to stay in shape, you know, making

522
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 7: sure I'm hanging with the teammates still and and get

523
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 7: a little bit of traveling in but nothing, nothing too crazy.

524
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 6: So it's, uh, it feels.

525
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 7: Like it hasn't been that long since we were back

526
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 7: in this building, but at the same time, it feels

527
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 7: like it's been a long time being away from the

528
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 7: guys and and getting into our offense and just excited

529
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 7: to be back.

530
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: Five going on house of the.

531
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 9: Draft and prep.

532
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 10: Have you been doing any draft prep for this season?

533
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 6: A little less this year.

534
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 7: I feel like last year we were here a week earlier,

535
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 7: so I got to spend a lot of time with

536
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 7: the scouts and really dive into some of the prospects

537
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 7: that we liked. And it's been a little bit less

538
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 7: this year, you know, and who knows, you know, and

539
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 7: being we trust.

540
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 11: How much has during the all season as you learned

541
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 11: about tendencies, teams, and ties.

542
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think just in terms of what

543
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 7: defenses are doing, especially when you're just lining up and

544
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: empty and the different checks that they're calling and some

545
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 7: of the stuff that we've seen in drop back game,

546
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 7: making sure that we're putting in and implementing things that

547
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 7: can come combat that and maybe get a tail early on.

548
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 7: And you know, just trying to be better pre snap.

549
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 7: I guess, you know, because I think post snap we

550
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 7: were pretty good last year and you know, being better

551
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 7: pre snap is only going to help us all that

552
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 7: much more.

553
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 9: West in your spect you've been pretty open about identifying

554
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 9: it maybe one specific area of your game that you

555
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 9: wanted to work on in the offseason. I know last

556
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 9: year you talked about rebuilding your mechanics. Has there been

557
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 9: a specific area that you've honed in on this offseason

558
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 9: it'sad I want to get better in this this area.

559
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think pre snap is is you know, what

560
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 7: we're looking at right now, and again just trying to,

561
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 7: you know, help me identify what what I'm seeing, you know,

562
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 7: better with my footwork and certain routes in certain combinations,

563
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 7: you know, making sure that within the offense that you know,

564
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 7: I'm doing a good job of seating the protection the

565
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 7: right way, knowing where my answers are if I'm not.

566
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 7: But again, that's all stuff that's that we can control,

567
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 7: and I can control, and you know, as I'm learning

568
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 7: to to do that better and relying on the quarterbacks

569
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 7: in the room and Joe and r C and again

570
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 7: just trying to go back and see what we were

571
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 7: doing wrong last year and try to fix it and

572
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 7: move forward.

573
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 9: Talk about pre snap? Is that a lot of that

574
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 9: film review?

575
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 6: How do how do you a lot of review?

576
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 7: A lot of it's just sitting down and making sure

577
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 7: that within our concepts that you know, we're setting the

578
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 7: protection the right way so my eyes can start in

579
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 7: the right spot. And if my eyes are starting the

580
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 7: right spot, you know, am I taking three? Am I

581
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 7: taking a quick five based on again what I'm seeing?

582
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 7: If if we like a shorter route, obviously it's gonna

583
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 7: be three. But if that's not there, let's extend it

584
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 7: to five and make sure that my base is in

585
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 7: the right position to to move on and get through

586
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 7: the progression.

587
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 5: Did you start the OTA for should?

588
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: Now?

589
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 12: What is your message to the guys that are here

590
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 12: based on the history?

591
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think it's one showing up and

592
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 7: making sure that you know I'm here and letting the

593
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 7: new guys see you know what this culture is all

594
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 7: about and how to how to vibe in this locker

595
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 7: room and you know, making sure that we're hanging outside

596
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 7: the facilities and starting to develop that team. You know,

597
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 7: there's gonna be quite a new few new faces. And

598
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 7: I just saw that we got Trey White back, which

599
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 7: is pretty cool. I'm off social media, so I didn't

600
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 7: know that. I was walking in the locker room today

601
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 7: and I peaked them and I went to equipment managers like,

602
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 7: is that Trey White over there? Just making sure, But

603
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 7: it's it's good to see some familiar faces back, and

604
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 7: obviously good to add some new pieces and start figuring

605
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 7: them out as people and making sure that, you know,

606
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 7: we get on the same page. Joshua, Certainly it seems

607
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 7: to be if we went to eliminate the touch push, But.

608
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: You who was very effectively last year, do you agree

609
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: with that?

610
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 13: And if it is banned, how comfortable would you still

611
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 13: be running regular seats?

612
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

613
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 7: I mean I think at that point it is what

614
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 7: it is. I don't know if I have a particular

615
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 7: feeling about it.

616
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 6: I know that we've utilized it.

617
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 7: I know that if it wasn't banned, I think we

618
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 7: would find a different play or a different way to

619
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 7: to still try to get the job done. But I

620
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 7: don't know the statistics behind player safety and all of that,

621
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 7: so I really don't have a say on it, to

622
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 7: be honest, Josh.

623
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 12: Football, looking at your ops, what's it like? You're familiar

624
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 12: with red Carbon's, But what's it like being on the

625
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 12: red carpet for like, say, Sin, Yeah, it was awesome.

626
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 6: It is a different world, a very cool experience.

627
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 7: I'm I'm so excited for her and so proud of her,

628
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 7: and you know, it's getting some great reviews. It's a

629
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 7: fantastic movie, so go watch it.

630
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 12: Different than like being on the red carpet for like

631
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 12: the awards ceremonies or like, how do you react to that?

632
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just there trying to support her, you know,

633
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 7: in whatever way that I can. And you know, that's

634
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 7: that was her moment and I'm so glad she got

635
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 7: to shine.

636
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 5: As a leader.

637
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 11: How do you navigate maybe someone like James who's going

638
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 11: through things with the contracts, uncertainty and kind of juggle wherever?

639
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 12: Where where do you feel.

640
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 5: Comfortable in that type of a situation as.

641
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 12: A leader on this team?

642
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 7: You know, I think the guys in this locker room

643
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 7: understand the business side of it. You know, I'm not

644
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 7: I'm not the GM, I'm not that coach, I know,

645
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 7: I know, I feel like I have to wear a

646
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 7: few different hats among the locker room, but that's not

647
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 7: one of them, you know. That's I just try to

648
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 7: make sure that I'm focusing on what I can control

649
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 7: and making sure that the guys that are here are

650
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 7: getting the work done. And I know James is working out

651
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 7: and getting the work done there too, and you know,

652
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 7: hoping that it gets figured out. But it'll get figured

653
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 7: out when it gets figured out. So, uh, yeah, we

654
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 7: understand the business side of it.

655
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 12: What do you think about the prospects of playing with

656
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 12: Joshua Palmer?

657
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 7: What he is? Yeah, very excited, you know, excited to

658
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 7: get to throw with him here pretty soon. Very fluid

659
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 7: in his routes. You know, he creates a lot of separation,

660
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 7: you know, there's a lot of advanced stats that show that.

661
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 7: But seems like a great Guy's a Toronto, Toronto kid too,

662
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 7: so I know that, uh he's got a big following

663
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 7: here pretty close and for him to kind of be

664
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 7: closer to family, I know that's always a plus. But

665
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 7: so far, you know, just being around him. He's got

666
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 7: a great Personality's going to fit in that receiver room

667
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 7: just great.

668
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 6: How a huge deal with key on calling in he

669
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 6: or two.

670
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, continue to get reps, making sure that we're getting

671
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 7: on the same page. You know, small little like body

672
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 7: mechanics stuff. You know, when when he's ready for the ball,

673
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 7: and what can he do to signal that he's ready

674
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 7: for the ball? Just talking over where on certain routes

675
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 7: where he wants the ball. You know they call him

676
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 7: fifty to fifty balls, but does that just throw it up?

677
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 7: Is that back shoulders that highs it low? And again,

678
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 7: I think the more reps that you get at that,

679
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 7: the better that you that you get. So, you know,

680
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 7: just trying to build those reps and get on the

681
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 7: same pitch.

682
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 4: Bill Palmer, it's not your side of the ball.

683
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 11: But Joey Bosa is addition, what are you anticipating brings

684
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 11: the team?

685
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 6: Well, you know, a lot of juice.

686
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 7: He's been one of the premier pass rushers in this

687
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 7: league for a long time and I'm very excited to

688
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 7: have him up here. You know, I made a made

689
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 7: a few calls and tried to recruit him, and I

690
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 7: don't have much success in those, but I had success

691
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 7: in that one, So we'll take it.

692
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 12: Like, do you reach out to guys you hear.

693
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, typically a text first, just so they know that

694
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 7: it's me and it's not some random phone number.

695
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 6: Huh. He was like, Oh, yeah, it's really it's yeah.

696
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 6: I don't, I mean, at least I hope so, but yeah,

697
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 6: it's uh, it was.

698
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 7: It was cool. I mean, he's he's a great player.

699
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 7: He's a great guy. I know he likes to golf

700
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 7: and he's getting into it. So I told him get

701
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 7: on up here and we'll go golfing.

702
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 14: I think I was a fairly up and down season

703
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 14: for Curtis last year, but then at the end it

704
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 14: seemed like you guys kind of found some chemistry. How

705
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 14: do you build off the end as opposed to kind

706
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 14: of the bigger sample.

707
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 7: Side, No, I credit credit Curtis last year. He battled

708
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 7: through a lot of different things, just little tweaks here

709
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 7: and there, but getting him going there late in the season.

710
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 7: It's it's so big for us because we can utilize

711
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 7: him in so many different positions, and whether it's z

712
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 7: f or the running back position, he can play outside too.

713
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 7: He's got the long speed that really helps this offense,

714
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 7: you know, stretch of field, So getting him involved early

715
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 7: and making sure that we're getting on the same page

716
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 7: and just finding what he's best at so we can

717
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 7: utilize that to the best of our abilities.

718
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 6: I think that's going to help us as a whole.

719
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 8: You're off starting offensive line coming back, and every backup

720
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 8: essentially coming back, you've been through changes. What can that

721
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 8: do for the offense as a whole, especially for you?

722
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think just in the familiarity, you know, having

723
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 7: the same old line, having basically the same receiving and

724
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 7: running back corps and then tie ins for that reason, Yeah,

725
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 7: we're we'll return a lot of guys. That helps when

726
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 7: guys are fresh and understand, you know, what Joe's trying

727
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 7: to implement and what type of really mantra that everybody eats.

728
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 7: And I think I've the hat on right now. That's

729
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 7: not just a one year thing. That's kind of what

730
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 7: this offense is and it's what it takes to be

731
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 7: a good offense. And you know, when you have guys

732
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 7: that understand that and they know that they know what

733
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 7: to expect coming into it, and we can start to

734
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 7: kind of hone in on the smaller details now, and

735
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 7: you know that's that's the exciting part for us.

736
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 12: That we have established and everybody eats you know, mantra

737
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 12: and then yeah it is and and how you know,

738
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 12: how how much do you need that to be the identity?

739
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 12: It does work?

740
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think again, it's not just talk

741
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 7: like it was. It was proven last year. And when

742
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 7: guys know that there's success and there's lighting at the tunnel,

743
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 7: and hey, I may need to run a clear out

744
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 7: route here to get Cleil open, but I know the

745
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 7: next play that Khalil's got the clear out route for me,

746
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 7: he's gonna, you know, bust his tail to do it.

747
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 7: And when you got guys that just buy in, you know,

748
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 7: that's when your offense can be pretty dangerous.

749
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 13: You said you didn't even know the trade Waight was

750
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 13: on the team, So social media is probably not high

751
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 13: on your list of things to follow these days, correct,

752
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 13: But last year at this time, receiver, receiver, receiver, it's

753
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 13: what everybody's talking about.

754
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 12: You win the m v P.

755
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 13: Now everybody's saying it doesn't matter who Josh's receivers are.

756
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 12: He's the guy who all it's gonna be fine.

757
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 4: How have things changed in a year for.

758
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 13: You in terms of your confidence in using your tools

759
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 13: and this concept that you can do with whatever whatever

760
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 13: the Bills give you, You're going to be able to make

761
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 13: it work.

762
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, the mindset hasn't changed.

763
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 7: Again, I'm just trying to be the best quarterback and

764
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 7: the best version of myself that I can be here.

765
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 6: For the Buffalo Bills.

766
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 7: Whether that's being a great teammate, a great leader, you know,

767
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 7: handing the ball off thirty times to James the game,

768
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 7: throwing it forty times. Whatever I'm asked to do is

769
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 7: what I'm trying to do at the best of my ability.

770
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 7: And you know, we had a lot of guys that

771
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 7: made some great plays last year and there was at

772
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 7: times where I wasn't my best. I'm still trying to

773
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 7: figure out how can I consistently be my best? And

774
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 7: that's that's always going to be the mindset.

775
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 13: That I have no more obligation responsibility because of the contract. Also,

776
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 13: but that belief now that you're the team year of

777
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 13: the offense in some ways, I mean people you might

778
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 13: not think that way, but that's kind of the reputation.

779
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 4: That you have.

780
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm mean, it takes takes ten other guys on

781
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 7: the field doing their job and their part two. And

782
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 7: you know, I'd put our ten versus anybody else's eleven

783
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 7: any day of the week.

784
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 12: We're back to Biggie. Back off of one team's talking

785
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 12: about last year you had, well, the big the big

786
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 12: theme a year ago was how does this offense work

787
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 12: with those Stefan Diggs? Oh no, how important was that

788
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 12: that you can separate yourself from having that so called

789
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 12: number one receiver and have this offense work again.

790
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 7: I think it just a lot of credit to the

791
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 7: other guys on the field with me right the offensive line.

792
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 7: I think the last couple of years have played the

793
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 7: whole group together. We've been very fortunate in that manner.

794
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 7: And again just buying into what Joe's doing and trusting

795
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 7: the coaching and trusting you know, everybody eats mindset, and

796
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 7: again just doing doing our part to try to win

797
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 7: football games.

798
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 6: That's all we're trying to do here.

799
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 9: You were asked earlier about Kean, Sean and Brandon after

800
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 9: the season. We're both sort of upfront about saying that

801
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 9: maybe coming back from the injury wasn't quite the same

802
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 9: players as before. I'm curious as a leader on the team,

803
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 9: knowing that you guys need to rely on him as

804
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 9: as a young player. Have you had any conversations with him?

805
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 9: Have you have you thrown with him this offseason or

806
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 9: how do you go about, you know, trying to maximize

807
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 9: his talents as best you can.

808
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, a couple of conversations, and you know, he knows

809
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 7: that he wants to be better. You know, he sent

810
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 7: me a couple couple of long texts of wanting to

811
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 7: be better. And we're going to continue to work extremely

812
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 7: hard and try to get on.

813
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 6: The same page.

814
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 7: He's got so much ability, he's so athletic, He's already

815
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 7: put on some weight and he's gotten a little bit stronger.

816
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 7: So I'm excited to see, you know, his progression. And

817
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 7: he's still so young, right like he I think he's

818
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 7: twenty one right now, right like, he's still got a

819
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 7: long ways to go in terms of learning the nuances

820
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 7: of the wide receiver position and having the guys in

821
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 7: the room that we do, I think they can help him.

822
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 7: And again, I'm so excited for his future because the

823
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 7: ability that he has, it's off the charts.

824
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 8: We will under Will Greenberg been like for you guys

825
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 8: obviously had a new role for him and Barry Rubin.

826
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 4: For that matter.

827
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

828
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 6: Now, Will's awesome.

829
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 7: Actually sad to see Siano go, and he's been here

830
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 7: the entire time that I've been here. But Will, he's

831
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 7: obviously got the youth on his side, and he's very hungry.

832
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 6: He wants to do things the right way.

833
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 7: He's so smart, he's very cerebral, you know, and I

834
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 7: think that the guys really can get behind him and

835
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 7: really trust what he's saying because he's put so much

836
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 7: work into his craft and guys respect that.

837
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 4: All right.

838
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 3: That was Bill's quarterback Josh Allen speaking to the media

839
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 3: about being back in the building for phase one of

840
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 3: off season workouts.

841
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 2: Some of the takeaways there.

842
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: He was asked about what are you identifying as something

843
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: you want to work on. Josh Allen described, I want

844
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 3: to work on pre snap, how I can be better

845
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 3: pre snap, identifying what I'm saying, better, my footwork, setting

846
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 3: the protections in the right way. All of this is

847
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 3: things that I can control. And then gott to bring

848
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 3: this up. The fact that Josh Allen did not know

849
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 3: that Trey White was on this roster, I think is

850
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 3: that's hilarious.

851
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: You talk about a guy who doesn't spend time with

852
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: his phone. Josh is the guy right, Oh my gosh.

853
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: He didn't know Trey was back on the team until

854
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,959
Speaker 1: he got in the building. That kind of cool, though,

855
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: That's gotta be a cool moment.

856
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 4: Yeah.

857
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 3: You turn around, you see Trey Whites back and you're like,

858
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: is that Trey White. He went over to the equipment

859
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 3: staff and said, is Trey White back on this team?

860
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: They said yes, and then he went over to trace it.

861
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: Welcome back, man, I love it too funny. We got

862
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: to take a break, but when we return, we will

863
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: hear from Buffalo quarterback Tredavius White. Next on One Bill's Live.

864
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 3: We're presented by Kalida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

865
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

866
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 3: Matti Glab and Steve Tasker here. Well well, Bill's quarterback

867
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 3: Trdavius White put pen to paper on a one year

868
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: deal with Buffalo yesterday afternoon. White is back in blue

869
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 3: and red, as he spent his first seven seasons with

870
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 3: the Bills, where he earned first team All Pro honors

871
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen and then was a two time Pro

872
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 3: bowler during his time in Buffalo. White had eighteen interceptions

873
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 3: in seven seasons, but also suffered some serious injuries. There

874
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: was that ACL tear in November of twenty twenty one,

875
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 3: and then the torn achilles that White suffered in October

876
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty three. Tredevius White spent last season with

877
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 3: the Ravens and the Rams before coming back to Buffalo.

878
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 3: White comes back to Buffalo as a healthy player, So, Steve,

879
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 3: I'm really excited to see what version of Tredaevius White

880
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 3: the Bills are going to get as he approaches his

881
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: ninth NFL season.

882
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: You can certainly think that he's going to be way

883
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: healthier than he was obviously when he left when he

884
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: was injured, and he's going to feel better on the

885
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: football field than he probably did all of last year

886
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: for the two different teams that he played on. And

887
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: we know that he plays well in this scheme that

888
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: they run or liked to run when he was here

889
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: fit him extremely well. He was all pro level corner

890
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: when he was here, and so he still got that

891
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: between his ears. We'll see if his body can match it.

892
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: It'll be fun to see it.

893
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 3: Seems like White is so excited to be back in

894
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 3: a Bill's uniform, and this is the place that he

895
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 3: wanted to be. We'll hear all about that in his

896
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 3: press conference right now.

897
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 11: As a player myself, personally, I always wanted to play

898
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 11: for one team my entire career. Unfortunately that wasn't able

899
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 11: to happen. But having the opportunity to come back and

900
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 11: do it with guys that I know that I've grown with,

901
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 11: went through so much adversity with seeing me injured, come

902
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 11: back injured again, So having that opportunity is something that

903
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 11: I came past.

904
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 5: So, Trey, what did.

905
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 6: You learn from your time you know, last year. If

906
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 6: you're an away from.

907
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 11: Appreciate the time, Appreciate the people that you do with it,

908
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 11: cause you never know, you never know if your when

909
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 11: it's your last time doing it with people.

910
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 4: That you started with.

911
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 11: So throughout the free agency process, even after the game,

912
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 11: you know, even though we lost, but all the people

913
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 11: that I went up to, I was like, look, let's

914
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 11: try to work this thing out. I know y'all got

915
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 11: a game to play next week, but if we can

916
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 11: get to a place where you know, I can get

917
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 11: an opportunity to come back, I would love to do it.

918
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 13: Tray So many players had been here, left and then returned.

919
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 12: What is it about the things that they do in.

920
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 6: This building and make it attracted once some players.

921
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 11: Leave to Tonac. It's it's a compilation, a combination of

922
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 11: a lot of things. Like I could talk about the players,

923
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 11: I could talk about the coaches, could talk about the

924
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 11: front office, but.

925
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 4: It's just a fit.

926
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 11: It's I don't think anybody that ever came back had

927
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 11: had a clear answers to why. But when you get here,

928
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 11: it's just a feel. Like me walking through the door yesterday,

929
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 11: it was just it just seemed like I never left,

930
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 11: like so many familiar faces, some new faces too, but

931
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 11: I just felt in place. I felt home. So for that,

932
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 11: like I'm forever grateful and I'm so thankful to be back.

933
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 4: For sure, I just.

934
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 10: Care about that coming back yesterday, Like what was it

935
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 10: like to see everyone?

936
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 12: What was the reaction?

937
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 11: Like, Oh, the reaction was everything I expected. I knew

938
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 11: everybody would be excited, but I was even more excited

939
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 11: because just get an opportunity to play ball again. But

940
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 11: with guys that like I really know, like Tearing, I

941
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 11: was in his wedding, so it's like close friends, it's

942
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 11: really close people that that I really care about, and

943
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 11: it's not like a work relationship, it's really a relationship

944
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 11: outside of the field.

945
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: How did you.

946
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 12: Deal was getting caught knowing that there were the injuries

947
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 12: and what the team was going through salary that point, Yeah,

948
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 12: how did you deal with that? And I pulls it

949
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 12: against the Bills?

950
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 6: Well or did you?

951
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 11: I didn't because I know it's a business. But that

952
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 11: was that was hard. That was hard just being that, uh,

953
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 11: this is the place that drafted me. Uh, so many

954
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 11: relationships that I really cherished for a lifetime. It was

955
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 11: hard because it wasn't something that it was just tough

956
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 11: to me. I see if I was playing and it

957
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 11: was just the onesn't working out wise and I get cut,

958
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 11: But it was for something that I couldn't control.

959
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 4: So that's that.

960
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 11: That was the thing that hurt me the most because

961
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 11: I felt like, if if it wasn't that way, that

962
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 11: I'd still be a Buffalo Bill going into year nine

963
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 11: with one hat under my name, and that's something that

964
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 11: I always wanted. But moving forward, I just I got

965
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 11: a bigger appreciation. Man, like, this place is so so special,

966
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 11: so so special to my family too, that this is

967
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 11: the only place that I really want to be in

968
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 11: and UH do it the right way. Hopefully you get

969
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 11: a super Bowl here and I'll be a part of it.

970
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 11: Cause I was telling tarr Arran, Me and Arran was

971

00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 11: a super Bowl without me, Like I'm getting an unerary ring.

00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 4: Y'all gonna have to send that to me.

974
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 11: I'm go'na need that for sure, cause I feel like

975
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 11: I played a part in it. But it wa It

976
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 11: was hard man, cause I ha, I had so many

977
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 11: goals I got som had so many goals for myself,

978
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 11: seeing myself in that uniform that wear white and blue.

979
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 4: The things that I was.

980
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 11: Able to accomplish and the people that I was able

981
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 11: to do it with is just being back here to

982
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 11: whereas all started is is it's full circuit.

983
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 4: It's this how it's supposed to be. It's how much

984
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 4: how much the ending for a season here last year

985
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 4: contributed to kind of like getting the edge to come back. Uh.

986
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 11: I would say I didn't want my last game plan

987
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 11: in the NFL to be against uh well on that

988
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 11: field against the Buffalo Bill, So that woulda been terrible.

989
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 11: That would be something terrible that I had to deal

990
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 11: with for the rest of my life. But now that's

991
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 11: behind me, and uh, I'm I'm looking forward to this year.

992
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 11: I'm looking forward to just going through the process, going

993
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 11: into the meeting rooms, just doing everything over again. This

994
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 11: this is this is the right way, this is how

995
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 11: it's supposed to be for me.

996
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 4: What service coation?

997
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 13: Oh, taks Uh?

998
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 12: What was last year like?

999
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: Did your coming back from the injury and being on

1000
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: different teams?

1001
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 10: Like, what did you take from that?

1002
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 4: What was that experience though? Oh, it was a learning experience. Uh.

1003
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 11: I would say being at two different places in one

1004
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 11: year like it. It definitely opened my eyes to you know,

1005
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 11: a lot of people do things different and it's it's

1006
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 11: a it's a lot of different ways that you can

1007
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 11: get to the end destination.

1008
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 4: But I feel like.

1009
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 11: This is the only way that I really m pretty

1010
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 11: much knew extensively and that I knew that that I

1011
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 11: feel like would work. But I I think that, man,

1012
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 11: what I went through last year is something that uh,

1013
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 11: it's something I never forget. It's in my football, it's

1014
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 11: in my football life. But it taught to me, taught

1015
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 11: me so much about the game and just how to

1016
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 11: cherish cherish the people too, because you know, going to

1017
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 11: t two different places in one year, Like those are

1018
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 11: work relationship, those are not authentic. Build relationships that that

1019
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 11: are gonna last a lifetime, like my relationships that I

1020
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 11: have here. So I told my agent, man, I was like, look,

1021
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 11: if you can't get Buffalo on the lines, just don't

1022
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 11: call me.

1023
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 4: This is the place that I wanna be.

1024
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 11: So we was able to do it, and man I was,

1025
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 11: I was ready to go, Like, I was so so excited,

1026
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 11: Mike tired.

1027
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 4: Family is excited.

1028
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 11: They're so excited to go into their addicts, unbox those

1029
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 11: Buffalo Blue jerseys. It started back wearing the Buffalo Blue again.

1030
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 4: So I this is a big time for me.

1031
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 9: I feeling nowtre And was there a point where you

1032
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 9: felt like the injuries were finally behind you?

1033
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm feeling good now now.

1034
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 11: It's just you know, in j football is the one

1035
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 11: hundred percent injury game, so you never know how injuries

1036
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 11: is gonna show up. So the only thing that I

1037
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 11: can do is do the best that I could put

1038
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 11: my body in the best situation to perform at a

1039
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 11: high level. And with football, you know, injuries are unexpected.

1040
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 11: So those are things that you know, you pretty much

1041
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 11: can't control. But for the controllable injuries, the soft tissue

1042
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 11: things things like that, I'm on top of it and

1043
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 11: I'm doing everything i can to prevent things like that.

1044
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 11: But as far as like freak accidents, you know, you

1045
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 11: never know. So the only thing I could do is

1046
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 11: put my best before each and every day and just

1047
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 11: try to get my body in tip top shape so

1048
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 11: it could be resilient to gets things like that.

1049
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 3: That was Bill's cornerback trade Avis White speaking about where

1050
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 3: his body is at in his ninth NFL season, and

1051
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 3: it takes me back to who Trey White is on

1052
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 3: a play as a player. When he was here, Trey

1053
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 3: White was the type of player who was the first

1054
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 3: person out on the practice field and the last person

1055
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 3: to leave the practice field. And you know, as a

1056
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 3: player progresses in their NFL career, the rehab side of

1057
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 3: things becomes more and more important to them. So if

1058
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 3: this is how Trey approaches practices, it is how Trey

1059
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 3: also approaches rehabbing. He spoke about doing everything he can

1060
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 3: to get his body in tiptop shape as it relates

1061
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 3: to soft tissue injuries and things like that, I would

1062
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 3: expect him to come back to this team trying his

1063
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 3: darness to be in a good place to contend for

1064
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 3: that cornerback two spot.

1065
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the hardest thing about being an athlete and being

1066
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: the age of these guys as they get older, Like

1067
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: you said, where you have to you have to really

1068
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: listen to what your body's telling you. And yes, you

1069
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: do have to rehab. You have do everything they ask you.

1070
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: The problem is a lot of what they ask you

1071
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: to do is take it easy, you know, don't put

1072
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: any more stress on the injury. Let it heel up

1073
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: before you start going back and wait if you wait

1074
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: on the front end of a major injury like an

1075
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: aco or an achilles, if you wait on the front

1076
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: end of it until you're ready to go, then start going,

1077
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: you have fewer setbacks as you go along. The hard

1078
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: part is you start feeling better so quickly you start

1079
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: to push it too early in the process. And that's

1080
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: one of the things that a therapists have always in

1081
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: my age, and I think it's the same now. They

1082
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: have to sit on these guys to keep them from

1083
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: going too fast on their return so that they can

1084
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: be ready to when they do come back. All it

1085
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: is is about getting in shape and playing rather than

1086
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 1: babying their injury. The move now, I think is more

1087
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: to let it heal up completely and then start to train,

1088
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: even though you ramp that up slowly. As well, you

1089
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: have fewer setbacks and you're better when you come back

1090
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: and you feel like you can go as when they

1091
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 1: do turn your loose, you can go instead of still

1092
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: trying to think about it and be wary of re injuring. Yeah,

1093
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: the hard part for players is sitting on them early

1094
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: in the process and not letting them go too fast,

1095
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: and that's really hard even for older players.

1096
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 4: In the league.

1097
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 3: White was open and honest about wanting to come back

1098
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 3: to Buffet, admitting that when the Bills face the Ravens

1099
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 3: in the playoffs that he was telling Bill staffers, I

1100
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 3: want to come back here.

1101
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 2: Let's figure out a way to get.

1102
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 3: It done, and even telling his agent, if you can't

1103
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 3: get Buffalo on the line, do not call me, because

1104
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: I wanted to play for one team and this is

1105
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 3: the one team I want to play for. It's amazing

1106
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 3: to hear that from guys who come back to this team,

1107
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 3: just how special it is to be here. It truly

1108
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 3: makes it not lip service. It is not a cliche.

1109
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 3: It is true because we've seen several players come back

1110
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 3: to Buffalo and say that this is the place that

1111
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 3: they want to finish out their career.

1112
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 15: Setting.

1113
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen tangible evidence that Sean McDermott has accomplished

1114
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 1: his goal of making sure guys thrive here. And I

1115
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: don't know a lot of us have never been in

1116
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: an environment like that. A lot of people out you know,

1117
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: you just you go to your job, you do your work.

1118
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: You're doing it for the paycheck or whatever. You're doing

1119
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: it for it. But you get into an environment that

1120
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: they make every effort to speak to you who you

1121
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: are and to help you accomplish all this stuff and

1122
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: to help you get a big contract and help you

1123
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: be famous on the football field, and I help you

1124
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: score touchdowns or get interception whatever. When you've got a

1125
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: building who is behind you, and you get the feeling

1126
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: they're for you, even at the highest level, and you

1127
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: can thrive in that. Man, it gets taken away or

1128
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: you go someplace else. And like I said, I was

1129
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: telling you in the first segment of the show, it's

1130
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: you get outside this, you go someplace else. Yeah, if

1131
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 1: they're all NFL football teams, you get inside and behind

1132
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 1: the curtain. They're all very different, and we've seen tangible

1133
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: evidence that a lot of guys who've played here in

1134
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo know they thrived here and want to get back

1135
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: to it.

1136
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 3: It also touches my heart to hear Trey White say

1137
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 3: that coming back here and being on two different teams

1138
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 3: last year, he appreciates this place so much more and

1139
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 3: he has so much love for the people inside of

1140
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 3: the buildings and the relationships.

1141
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:00,479
Speaker 2: True matter.

1142
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 3: It's not on the field thing, it's an off the

1143
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 3: field thing.

1144
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: So so happy to have him back here.

1145
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to see what he is going to

1146
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 3: be on the field as we get through phase two

1147
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 3: and phase three of off season workouts. We got to

1148
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 3: take a break because when we return. Bill's general manager

Speaker 3: Welcome into our number two of One Bill's Live on

Speaker 3: this fine Tuesday afternoon, Matdi Glab alongside Bill's Wall of

Speaker 3: Famer Steve Tasker and the NFL Draft.

1156
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 2: Is just two days away.

1157
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 3: It is here, and to help us preview what's to come,

1158
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 3: let's hear for Bill's gender manager, Brandon Bean, who's speaking

1159
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 3: to the media right now.

1160
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 4: We're in a previous spot. We've done some mocks. We've

1161
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 4: gone back through, uh, some positions that you know, you're

1162
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 4: you kind of have your scouting view. You listen to

1163
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 4: the coaches, the ones where you're in the same you

1164
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 4: see it the same, you can kind of move on. Uh,

1165
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 4: we're working through a couple of those still, Like you know,

1166
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 4: how you view this person in our offense or in

1167
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 4: our defense, and you know what's the role making sure

1168
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 4: we're on the same page. Maybe we graded the player

1169
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 4: and we're thinking this guy maybe it doesn't start year two,

1170
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 4: does this year one? And you're just trying to get

1171
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 4: on the same page of some of those things because

1172
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 4: that kind of helps you assign the value of where

1173
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 4: you would take the player. You know, are you taking

1174
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 4: them as a role player this year and a future starter?

1175
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 4: You're taking them hopefully to start year one or I

1176
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 4: don't know if I ever see this guy as a starter,

1177
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 4: but he's gonna be a heck of a backup. So

1178
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 4: we're just kind of ironing out some of those, making

1179
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 4: sure we see you know, you're never going to fully agree,

1180
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 4: but just trying to get where there is complete consensus.

1181
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 4: Those are easy where there's not, just trying to get

1182
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:48,479
Speaker 4: to a common ground.

1183
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 5: How many first round grades this year?

1184
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 4: What do we pick? Thirty? Not thirty? Is it? Ope?

1185
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: The last couple years about the same or lets the year?

1186
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's it's probably in the ballpark. Yeahs

1187
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 4: with them, the same with James really since uh owners meeting,

1188
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 4: since we spoke. I love James. Look forward to James

1189
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 4: putting on our helmet again this year and and doing

1190
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 4: well for us, and I know he you know, he

1191
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 4: plans that. James a competitive dude and you know look

1192
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 4: forward to to that. That's really probably where we're at him.

1193
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:43,479
Speaker 4: Is he here like it's off season program? Not this week?

1194
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't. I can't tell you when he's

1195
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 4: definitely coming or not. But yeah, not not yet significant

1196
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 4: to you? Or I should say, how significant is that

1197
00:58:54,640 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 4: to you? I mean it's voluntary, so guys come and go,

1198
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 4: guys have things going on. Trying not to look too

1199
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 4: far into it. We could all assume he's not here

1200
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 4: because he's unhappy with his contract or whatever. But that's

1201
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 4: not fair, Like he hasn't told me that. I don't know,

1202
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 4: no one's told me that he said that. But so

1203
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of unfair to say he's not

1204
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 4: here because of that doesn't mean he's not here next

1205
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 4: week or the week after. He'll be ready to go, though.

1206
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 11: Luxury are having two places in the same round.

1207
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Moki, I love that. You know, that's that's value,

1208
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 4: that's an asset for us. I think it's a good

1209
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 4: year to have a couple of those. I think there's value,

1210
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 4: you know where we're picking. Of course, you always want

1211
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 4: the highest picks, but how you set your board and

1212
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 4: things like that. So no, we're we're very excited to

1213
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 4: have obviously our original pick plus the one we added

1214
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 4: with Steph moved last year.

1215
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 9: Okay, thanks your schedule to make ten picks. How likely

1216
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 9: in your mind is it that ten drafted rookies could

1217
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 9: make the fifty three man roster.

1218
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question. Tell me who my players

1219
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 4: are and I'll tell you. But I mean odds would

1220
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 4: say that's probably hard to have a class of ten.

1221
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 4: I mean, we are only generally given seven, and that's

1222
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 4: it's probably sometimes years seven can be hard right to

1223
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 4: make it, but we'll see, you know. I think that's

1224
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 4: where we have to be smart with how the board's falling.

1225
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 4: You know, I wouldn't want to go in and say, hey,

1226
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 4: let's cash these these picks in right away and move

1227
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 4: up three spots and you know, let's cast this fifth

1228
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 4: round end and move up two spots in the second

1229
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 4: round or whatever that gets you when we really don't

1230
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 4: need to. And then we're sitting there later going, man,

1231
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 4: I can't believe this guy is still there. And so

1232
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 4: I think that's where it's very important, Jay, that you

1233
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 4: set a board where you, as we were talking earlier

1234
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 4: about the right value of the player, you never want

1235
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 4: to turn a pick in and go, this guy's got

1236
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 4: no shot to make your rosters. So I think if

1237
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 4: we start trending towards there, that's where we either start

1238
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 4: trying to move up or trade something for a next

1239
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 4: year's pick.

1240
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 10: It feels like it wasn't that long ago that a

1241
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 10: transfer was an exception. Now it's team players that are

1242
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 10: on multiple schools. Does that impact the way you weigh

1243
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 10: production against trades?

1244
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 14: The only reason I say is.

1245
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes a guy goes to a.

1246
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 10: New system, it's only one year, maybe his numbers are down.

1247
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 10: Has that impacted you at all? Knowing that he's in

1248
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 10: a different place and you project him differently because it

1249
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 10: wasn't a more of a linear way that he played

1250
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 10: at the same school.

1251
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 4: I think it's definitely more challenging to your point, Mike,

1252
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 4: in a lot of ways. You know, you can have

1253
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 4: a young man that's been at three schools, so you're

1254
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 4: trying to You're trying to talk to people at his

1255
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 4: original school, at School two, and at School three, and

1256
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 4: School A loved him but didn't have a great fit

1257
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 4: for him. School B thought he thought he was better

1258
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 4: than he is, thought he was entitled, couldn't wait to

1259
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 4: get rid of him. And then School C loves him.

1260
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 4: So you're trying to put all the pieces together. Are

1261
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 4: they mad that he left? Or was that the truth

1262
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 4: of the player? And that's the character the DNA. You know,

1263
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 4: it used to be a lot easier. You got a

1264
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 4: player at you know, University of Buffalo. You just go

1265
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 4: over there and you talk to trainers, the coaches, the staff,

1266
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 4: and you get kind of a consensus of what the

1267
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 4: DNA how this person operates, and when you grade the

1268
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 4: player this when you're when these guys are transferring to

1269
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 4: in three times, it's it's harder to get the clear

1270
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 4: pictures because sometimes there's sour grapes on on one side

1271
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 4: or another. So we're trying to put that together. And

1272
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 4: then to your point about production, you're always looking at

1273
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 4: like level of comp was it a totally new system,

1274
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 4: how they were used. You know, we're in a projection business,

1275
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 4: and sometimes we are projecting them to play in a

1276
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 4: different way. Hey, we see we believe he will do

1277
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 4: well the way we would use him, but maybe we've

1278
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 4: rarely seen that just the way he's been used in college,

1279
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 4: or maybe he was rarely used. I mean, sometimes there's guys,

1280
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 4: I mean Taron Johnson played outside. How does that translate

1281
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 4: to nickel? H We put a lot on our nickel

1282
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 4: to come fill the B gap and tackle, and so

1283
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 4: that's a translation, you know what I mean if you

1284
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 4: don't see players do that. So there's a lot of

1285
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 4: scenarios where we're up there talking and we're debating, like, yes,

1286
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 4: I see him do this, Yes I see his athletic trades.

1287
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 4: Yes I like his DNA. But we're talking about playing

1288
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 4: him different in our system, and so you're kind of

1289
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 4: measuring and weighing risk of where that is, especially if

1290
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 4: you haven't seen him.

1291
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 5: Do it draft that well, reportedly there's fewer first round

1292
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 5: grades probably in this draft. Does that at number thirty?

1293
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 5: Does that complicate things for you? If you want him

1294
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 5: pay trade up or more primarily trade back. Does that

1295
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 5: complicated happened less or fewer first round grade guys?

1296
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1297
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1298
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 4: There's always there's always talking your board. You might have

1299
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 4: making up a number. Let's just say half. You might

1300
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 4: have sixteen, and another team might have eighteen, and another

1301
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 4: one may have thirteen, and so everyone has their value.

1302
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 4: We play in a four to three system. There may

1303
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 4: be some three four players that we if we ran

1304
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 4: a three four defense, that we would grade a little higher.

1305
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 4: I'm sure vice versa for those guys. So I think

1306
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 4: ultimately you're just truly following your board, So I'll build

1307
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 4: it for your team. We don't grade for the league.

1308
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 4: We great for the Buffalo Bills, how we value players,

1309
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,919
Speaker 4: how we use players, and so I think that's where

1310
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 4: you get some differences of where players are graded. I

1311
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 4: think that's up to us if we're you know, it's

1312
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 4: getting close to us. You know, I've probably moved up

1313
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 4: more than I moved back. I generally do that when

1314
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, we're running out of players here. If

1315
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 4: I don't get up and get this guy, I'm going

1316
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 4: to need to go back, because I think we would

1317
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 4: get better value by moving back into the second round,

1318
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 4: taking a player there, and then get whatever else that

1319
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 4: you can get. Last year we added a third to

1320
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 4: get to get Dwayne. So I think it's truly sal

1321
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 4: setting your board, reading your board, and having options both ways.

1322
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 4: We constantly are talking to people ahead of us and

1323
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 4: the people behind us and waiting to see how it falls.

1324
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 12: You have some ten picks and you're probably you may

1325
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 12: use them as assets. And after moving back last year,

1326
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 12: do you think you might be more apt to move up.

1327
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 4: Than that this year?

1328
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 6: If that if was switch round the first.

1329
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 4: Round one, Yeah, I really don't know, John, I mean,

1330
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 4: that's sitting it as late as we pick. It's so

1331
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 4: hard every year. I mean we've done a few mocks,

1332
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 4: and you know, it could go so many different ways

1333
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 4: of who's really there, and this year, as much as

1334
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 4: there's as many different ways it could go, this year,

1335
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 4: as I can remember just what mocksters out there perceive

1336
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 4: teams needs are to best player available, and so I

1337
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 4: don't really know I'm going to truly, as I was

1338
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 4: answering the last question from sal is just read the

1339
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 4: board and if we think there's a player we really

1340
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 4: love fits a need as well, those are one I'm

1341
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 4: trying to trade up player we love fits a need

1342
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 4: and the value that makes sense if not, and the

1343
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 4: boards getting wiped. Now we're looking what are our options

1344
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 4: to go back? How far do you want to go?

1345
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 4: I mean there's been times before that we didn't trade

1346
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 4: back and it was people wanted to pick. It was just, man,

1347
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 4: I'm not moving back twelve slots. You know, it's a

1348
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 4: long drop. I'm not quite comfortable with what may be there.

1349
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 15: It was on we see the videos on draft night,

1350
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 15: you and Shawn sitting next to each other, do you, guys,

1351
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 15: does he participate in the mock drafts and what's your

1352
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 15: process of getting a download from him on his thoughts.

1353
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 4: On these prospects of kind? Yeah, so, you know, I

1354
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 4: always kind of give Sean kind of a list of

1355
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 4: targets of players to view, especially on defense, being that's

1356
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 4: the strength of you know what he's you know, been

1357
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 4: coaching all his life. And and then we go back through,

1358
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 4: you know, the scouts and I worked a board and

1359
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 4: then uh, but you know he was in there earlier today,

1360
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 4: just kind of going through hearing some things that the

1361
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 4: scouts would say, you know, talking about again what I

1362
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 4: was saying earlier, how they were used. So you know,

1363
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 4: it's not my board. It's not the scouting board. It's

1364
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 4: it's the Buffalo Bills board. There are not every player

1365
01:08:56,120 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 4: is ranked exactly how I saw. There are times I'm like,

1366
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm the minority in the room. You know,

1367
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 4: it's painful sometimes, like man, I like that guy more,

1368
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 4: but it's like eighty five fifteen the room and and

1369
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 4: I'm hearing them out and I'm like, all right, better

1370
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 4: to be right though, No, but no, that's it's it's

1371
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 4: hard because we're all competitive, we all want to be right,

1372
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 4: but we're not always right. And as I said, this

1373
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 4: is a projection business. You're weighing risk and whatever round

1374
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 4: it is, and especially when you're talking about at one

1375
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 4: and two and things like that, and so you know,

1376
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 4: I just want to get it right for the team

1377
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 4: and for Terry Pagoula and that crew. That's that's my job.

1378
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 4: It's not to pick the players how I rank them,

1379
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 4: it's how the consensus, how we feel, making sure I

1380
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 4: see alignment, and making sure we all have the shared

1381
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 4: vision for this player and how we're going to use

1382
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 4: them here in Buffalo.

1383
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 6: What's the strongest position in the draft?

1384
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I would say it's a pretty good D

1385
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 4: line draft.

1386
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:14,640
Speaker 10: Inside.

1387
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I think so. Yeah, I think

1388
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 4: it's pretty good. Yeah, I mean it's there's a lot

1389
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 4: of different flavors. And again I was talking about the

1390
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 4: three four guys, you know, the some of those guys

1391
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 4: we've you know, I don't know fifteen years ago or

1392
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 4: maybe even ten years ago, if we would have drafted

1393
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 4: a Javon Solomon, you know, more of a three to

1394
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 4: four stand up guy. But we've found value in those guys.

1395
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 4: It's a it's a passing league. You got to be

1396
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 4: able to get them down. So you're trying to make

1397
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 4: sure you can find enough value for those and then

1398
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 4: you know what are they going to do on fourth

1399
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 4: down and special teams for you? But adding those players

1400
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 4: in as well, I think it's it's probably good on both.

1401
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 9: Your defense, you're your front four, you rotate quite a bit,

1402
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 9: you don't as much in the secondary. Does that impact

1403
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 9: how you value players, meaning, you know, cornerback who's going

1404
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 9: to be on the field for one hundred percent of

1405
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,799
Speaker 9: the snaps maybe has a higher value than a defensive

1406
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 9: tackle who might only play thirty or forty percent.

1407
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, good question. I think it's just how how impactful

1408
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 4: one is versus the other. I think they're both high

1409
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 4: position value, like you just and I think you can

1410
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 4: look at that by contracts in the league, what these

1411
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 4: guys are getting paid. I mean, if you've got an

1412
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 4: Aaron Donald, you know that guy in his prime, you'd

1413
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 4: probably take over most corners, Okay, even though he doesn't

1414
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 4: play every snap, And that's a very fair point. But

1415
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 4: you got a guy who can play man, can play zone,

1416
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 4: has speed, tackle and turns the ball over. That could

1417
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 4: be more valuable than a lot of defensive tackles. Especially uh,

1418
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 4: you know, a two down player who's you know, more

1419
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 4: of a run player than than a pass rusher. So

1420
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 4: I think you would truly have to discuss player versus player,

1421
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 4: Where's where's the most value? If you can, you know,

1422
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 4: we had Josh Norman in Carolina. You know, even Tradavius

1423
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 4: here when he was rolling and we paid him as

1424
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 4: the number one guy, Like we could match up Tradavius

1425
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 4: on the team. You know what I'm saying that he

1426
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 4: gave us a lot of He would be more viable

1427
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 4: than a number of defensive tackles, probably not more valuable

1428
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 4: than Aaron Donald, no disrespect to him, just using those comparisons.

1429
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 4: A BBA superseeds a position on him. You know, you're

1430
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 4: you're always you're always trying to take the best player. Okay,

1431
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 4: But as you move down in the draft, to your

1432
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 4: point to Jay's question earlier, like you don't want to

1433
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 4: start drafting player that you're like, man, I know this

1434
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 4: guy's better than this other position, or we have them

1435
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 4: rated a little bit better, but I'm not sure with

1436
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 4: what we've already added if he can make the roster.

1437
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 4: So as you go, especially by the time you get

1438
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 4: to Saturday, you're going, man, what would we like to

1439
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 4: come out of here with what we've already added today?

1440
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 4: And then you start looking at where do you have

1441
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 4: value on your board? So fourth round, if we're like, man,

1442
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:32,640
Speaker 4: we really need a corner, and we're like, man, we

1443
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 4: only see two guys that we really feel good about,

1444
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 4: we probably better take one in the fourth round because

1445
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,719
Speaker 4: he's probably not going to be there in the fifth.

1446
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. You know, unless there's a

1447
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 4: position of higher and need hope that makes sense.

1448
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 1: So you say you build the board for the bills,

1449
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 1: not the lead, right.

1450
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 4: So I'm curious.

1451
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 8: So let's say you have you know you don't need

1452
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:53,719
Speaker 8: a franchise quarterback.

1453
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 12: You do it if you have a guy, yeah, really good.

1454
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 8: You have a guy coming out who would normally need

1455
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 8: you view the very highlelygue could be franchise guy. Does

1456
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 8: that impact then the grade you put on him in

1457
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 8: that particular draft or do you lower him because you don't.

1458
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 4: Need that particular guy about any position?

1459
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 5: Or I'm using quarterbacks as an example.

1460
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 6: Quarterback.

1461
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 8: Let's just say you have a guy that you think

1462
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 8: is truly a franchise guy coming home.

1463
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 4: Does he have a different grade when you need one

1464
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:21,759
Speaker 4: versus when.

1465
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 1: You don't need one, because that could impact how.

1466
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 4: The board falls from you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean

1467
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 4: we're I wouldn't expect at thirty if a guy's there

1468
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 4: for us to take them to your point, even if

1469
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 4: we had him rated up there, that would you know,

1470
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 4: we I just I'm not there. If if Josh's career

1471
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 4: was winding down or something, maybe you would look to

1472
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 4: do that. But there's too many other valuable players. So

1473
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 4: to your point, yes, especially at quarterback because you can't run.

1474
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 4: You know, you hope you're only playing your one in

1475
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 4: the game. You hope the other one is holding the

1476
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 4: clipboard all games all season. Uh so what what is

1477
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 4: the true value of that? So, yes, we would lower

1478
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 4: we would lower that. I think it depends on each position.

1479
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 4: How you would how you would do that. Some of

1480
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 4: these positions defensive tackle that Jay's talking about, you could have.

1481
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 4: Even if you have an Aaron Donald on your team,

1482
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 4: You're still looking to put somebody beside him. And then

1483
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 4: you know that's a position injuries can happen a lot,

1484
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 4: so you and as we rotate guys, you better have

1485
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 4: the next man ready to roll. So it's kind of

1486
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 4: a different mindset for each position.

1487
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 12: How does that impact maybe how you attack that position

1488
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 12: entering the draft and what are you hoping to.

1489
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 4: You guys in the second go round. Yeah, I mean

1490
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 4: it's great to have Trey back. I mean, you just

1491
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 4: you know how we all feel about him, and the

1492
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 4: business part of this stinks. I'm sure I mentioned that.

1493
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 4: I'll remember how I answered it a year ago when

1494
01:15:56,040 --> 01:16:00,080
Speaker 4: when we parted ways, but I definitely know that that

1495
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 4: I made it clear just because we're parting ways today,

1496
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:09,720
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean forever, and not that I envisioned one

1497
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 4: year later it would work out. But no, we're excited

1498
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 4: to have him back. You know, hard to find a

1499
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 4: guy who's been here since we started this thing and

1500
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 4: had great things. Unfortunately had some setbacks with injuries, but

1501
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 4: he brings great experience to our team. Felt like if

1502
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 4: you watch his film, that really improved from the start

1503
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 4: of the year with the rams to how he played

1504
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 4: down the stretch. He'said another year off of the injury.

1505
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 4: So we have a lot of confidence in Trey, but

1506
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 4: no promises were made. We don't really do that a

1507
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 4: lot anyway. We're you know, let's just roll about and go.

1508
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, we're pulling for him and would love nothing

1509
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:51,600
Speaker 4: more if he wins the starting job. That means we

1510
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 4: feel good with him.

1511
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 3: That was Bill's general manager Brandon Bean talking about the

1512
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,200
Speaker 3: lead up to the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, which

1513
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 3: is set to being in Thursday night at eight o'clock,

1514
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 3: we heard being say a lot we need to value

1515
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 3: our board. That is a lot of the work they

1516
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 3: do is to position their board in a place to

1517
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 3: where it makes sense for their needs, their wants, what

1518
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 3: they could use on this roster in this upcoming season,

1519
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 3: and was very open and honest with how they go

1520
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 3: about that. One of the takeaways I had was his

1521
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,919
Speaker 3: comment on defensive line being in his opinion, the strongest

1522
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 3: position in this year's draft class, both inside and outside, saying,

1523
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 3: there's a lot of different flavors in this year's draft

1524
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 3: class that you can go ground.

1525
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, So does that mean he wants to get get

1526
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: one at thirty? I think I think it means less

1527
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: than that. I think it means there's going to be

1528
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: plenty at fifty six and sixty two, so we may

1529
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: want to go one of the more specialized or the

1530
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 1: other specialized positions, like a corner, you know. And there's

1531
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 1: with the addition of Trey, which has been on our

1532
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: minds today, it does give you more of a sense

1533
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: that whatever position, the best player is on the board

1534
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: when it comes to them, take the guy, you know,

1535
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 1: take another wide out, take another whatever whatever you know, linebacker, safety,

1536
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Take the guy. If he's got a

1537
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: chance to get on the field for your team, you're

1538
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,759
Speaker 1: gonna be better for it. So I think that speaks

1539
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: to me that they're ready to kind of settle in

1540
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: and do that if it comes to it and they

1541
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: feel confident they can get a really good defensive lineman

1542
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: later in the draft if another position presents itself.

1543
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, but want more.

1544
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 3: One Bill's Live Next were presented by Clyde Health on

1545
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills Radio. It's time to recognize the week two

1546
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 3: high school girls flag football Coaches of the Week. In

1547
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:03,599
Speaker 3: Sections six Buffalo Region, Tim Ktchelmeyer from Fredonia High School

1548
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 3: is this week's winner. Over the past two years under

1549
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 3: ketch Meyer, the Fredonia girls varsity flag football program has

1550
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 3: gone twenty two and three. The team is currently three

1551
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 3: and one on the season, with a big win over

1552
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 3: Jamestown on April eleventh. Then in Section Section five Rochester,

1553
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 3: it's Eric Thurley from Webster Thomas High School. Thurley has

1554
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 3: been the head coach of Webster Thomas girls flag team

1555
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 3: since twenty twenty three. Under Thurley's command, the Titans are

1556
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 3: off to a four and oh start this season. Well,

1557
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:33,560
Speaker 3: we hope the Bills are going to be off to

1558
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 3: a four and oh start once they get going in September.

1559
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 3: We wanted to go back to Brandon Bean's press conference

1560
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 3: and talk about some of the things that he mentioned

1561
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 3: in that press conference. One of the things at the

1562
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 3: top of the press conference being mentioned is the fact

1563
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 3: that he does not have thirty first round grades this

1564
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 3: year and said it's similar to how drafts have gone

1565
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 3: in the past previous seasons. Sitting at thirty, being said,

1566
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 3: we're so deep in the first round. We don't know

1567
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. It's so hard to expect what's

1568
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 3: going to happen. And at this point leading up to

1569
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 3: the draft, what they're spending time on doing is mock drafts,

1570
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 3: trying to project who could be available at number thirty,

1571
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 3: who has no chance of being available at number thirty.

1572
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,680
Speaker 3: But Bean did say there's a lot of options of

1573
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 3: what could happen as night one goes on.

1574
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a problem because they don't have anybody that's

1575
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: worth a first round pick, or at least they shouldn't

1576
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: when they get to thirty. Now there is a chance

1577
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: that one of their guys does trickle down because, like

1578
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 1: we said, everybody, nobody else has thirty first rounders either.

1579
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 1: So maybe one of your guys that you think is

1580
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: the first rounder slips through because nobody else thinks he is,

1581
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: or the wrong teams think that he is, or the

1582
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: teams that pick high earth had somebody else they wanted

1583
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 1: more than the number one draft A rating that they

1584
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 1: gave the guy. All that stuff is on the table.

1585
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: I think what I get out of this is they've

1586
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: got to have a guy at thirty that they think

1587
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: that can least make the team and contribute in some way,

1588
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: shape or form on a regular basis. Do they or not,

1589
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's the thing, whatever position he is,

1590
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: we just talked about it. I think their board is

1591
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:21,720
Speaker 1: what it is. They're going to have some guys that

1592
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: they think that they really want and they really think

1593
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,560
Speaker 1: can help them, even at thirty, even if it's not

1594
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: a first round kind of grade, he's going to be

1595
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: a solid guy in the league for a while. You

1596
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 1: got to be free to take him. Now you get

1597
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: to the point where they might have four guys that

1598
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: they think they can take, and they're willing to trade

1599
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: down four spots to make sure they get at least

1600
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: one of them. That may happen, but when you start,

1601
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, like we said, there's gonna be some teams

1602
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: that want to get back to in the first round.

1603
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: The Bills are at thirty. It's not so much about

1604
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: them hopping got teams that want the guy. It's about

1605
01:21:57,960 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: them getting into the first round and getting a fifth

1606
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: year on the rookie contract rather than fourth year. That's

1607
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 1: the problem. So you know, they went through this last year,

1608
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 1: and they did it twice because they liked Keon When

1609
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: in Kansas City liked Worthy, they said, we don't care.

1610
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: We like our guy better. We're gonna take our guy

1611
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: and we'll trade back as we know we can get him.

1612
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 1: That may happen again. It may happen again, or it

1613
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 1: may be that one of their first rounders drops within

1614
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 1: reach of moving up to get I just think they're

1615
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna mind their board and they're gonna say, listen, if

1616
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:36,759
Speaker 1: we got a shot at one of our first rounders,

1617
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: we should go up and get him, particularly if we

1618
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: can kick off one of our couple of our sixth

1619
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 1: rounders and a fifth or whatever. Because those guys are

1620
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be hard pressed for them to

1621
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: make the club anyway. I just like the fact that

1622
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm it feels like they're gonna take the best guy,

1623
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: and that's really what we all want.

1624
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 3: When push comes to shove, they are constantly on the

1625
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 3: phone with teams before them and teams behind them. If

1626
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 3: you've seen our embedded series or you've seen clips of

1627
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 3: what it looks like inside the draft room, there's like

1628
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 3: twenty to thirty scouts and personnel members inside of that room,

1629
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 3: and it is multitasking at its finest. Every single person

1630
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 3: in that room has a job to do. People are

1631
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 3: assigned to be Hey, I'm going to be on the

1632
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 3: phone with this team as we move throughout the night.

1633
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 2: They're sitting right above us.

1634
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 3: I'm going to be on the phone with this team

1635
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 3: who's right behind us throughout the night to feel and

1636
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 3: see where they're at, what they want to do. There's

1637
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 3: so much that happens, and when you think about the

1638
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 3: fact that Brandon said we don't have thirty first round

1639
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 3: grades on these guys, what he did say is when

1640
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 3: I'm willing to trade up is when there's a player

1641
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 3: that we love, fits a need and a value that

1642
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 3: makes sense. When I'm willing to trade back. It's if

1643
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 3: the board is getting wiped. Both of those things could happen.

1644
01:23:57,880 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: On Thursday night, that's right, and you got to be

1645
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: ready for it. And it really is a commercial for

1646
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: communications with thirty two teams on the phone with thirty

1647
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: two other teams, thirty one other teams. Every team is

1648
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,799
Speaker 1: on the line and they've got the teams right around

1649
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: them that may or may not move up, and they

1650
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: are like in a live conversation all the time, and

1651
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: only until that pick gets up, until it's ultimately made

1652
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: where somebody goes nop, we got our guy. We're going

1653
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: to take the pick. Then they're off the phone, they're

1654
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: off of that loop, and then all the other thirty

1655
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: teams are talking about the next one.

1656
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 6: What about you?

1657
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 1: Are you guys thinking about this, we're thinking about moving up.

1658
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: We'll do this for you. I mean, it's you think

1659
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:41,560
Speaker 1: about how complicated it is, and you wonder how you

1660
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: know how they did it back in the day with

1661
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 1: a one phone line. You know, I mean, no wonder

1662
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: they you know, I think teams, you know they're trying

1663
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 1: to get it, you know, to be a well oiled machine.

1664
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 1: But you're only gonna do it once a year, and

1665
01:24:57,840 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: you can do all the mocks you want. It's not

1666
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:04,600
Speaker 1: the same thing. I don't know. I'm just if it

1667
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 1: makes me feel comfortable that they're going to be in

1668
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: a position where they don't have this, particularly in this draft.

1669
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:12,560
Speaker 1: They don't have any positional emergencies. They can take the

1670
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 1: best guy there. Yes, there's a defensive line would be great,

1671
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: a corner would be great. This draft is going to

1672
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: have plenty of them, even at thirty. You should be

1673
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:25,240
Speaker 1: able to get one guy there that's going to be

1674
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 1: able to make your team and help. So I think

1675
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: the real thing is, is there going to be a

1676
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 1: guy that they have really rated highly and the board's

1677
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: been wiped. Do they jump up and get the guy

1678
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 1: when he falls into range. I think that's the most

1679
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,799
Speaker 1: intriguing part about this. This for the Bills at thirty.

1680
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 3: Another intriguing part is the fact that, being said, we

1681
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 3: have ten picks right now, but I find it hard

1682
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 3: to think that ten people are going to make this roster,

1683
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 3: so you have to be smart with how the board

1684
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 3: is falling. That could mean that Buffalo decides to package

1685
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 3: a couple of picks and move up in the draft.

1686
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 3: But then being all also said, I can't be stupid

1687
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,599
Speaker 3: with how I'm moving about in the draft and trading

1688
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,679
Speaker 3: these picks, because we can't get into the fifth round

1689
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 3: and think, oh, shoot, there's still some really great value here,

1690
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 3: and I don't have any more picks left.

1691
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: And when you get into those lower rounds, a lot

1692
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: of what they pick is just how the guy physically looks.

1693
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, is he big, strong, fast and strong? You

1694
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 1: know that is an athlete. He's one of these guys.

1695
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: He's his production isn't there, He played at a small school, whatever, whatever.

1696
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 1: The reason he's a fifth rounder is because nobody knows

1697
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: if he can do it. Well, that's the kind of

1698
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 1: guy who said, well, I'll take him for a fifth rounder,

1699
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: because when he gets in here and we start schooling

1700
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: him up and getting him into a program that really

1701
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:43,679
Speaker 1: knows how to get him acclimated, all of a sudden,

1702
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:45,799
Speaker 1: he flourishes and now we've got a starter.

1703
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 4: On our hands.

1704
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: Christian Benford, Taron Johnson. So when you get into those

1705
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 1: lower rounds, I look more for physical traits than I do.

1706
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: You know, these guys that are star studded or you know,

1707
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 1: got twenty five interceptions at East Nowhere University.

1708
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 2: Well, that's a great point.

1709
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 3: You're looking for trades and you're looking for somebody you

1710
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 3: can coach up and turn into what you want.

1711
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 1: Inside of this, you hope what's missing is something that

1712
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: was out of their.

1713
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 3: Control based on what system they played, what defense are often.

1714
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: How they got coached, did they have to trans did

1715
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 1: they transfer a couple of times, they had a couple

1716
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 1: of bad fits, the whole thing. Eh, So you want

1717
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 1: to get one of those guys that has a chance,

1718
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: that has an upside that he can come to your

1719
01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 1: place and flourish and physically he looks like a pro.

1720
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 3: Got to take a break, but when we return. Being

1721
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 3: also commented on James Cook's future as well as what

1722
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 3: he sees for Trenevius White in a Bill's uniform this season.

1723
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 3: We'll tackle that next on One Bill's Live represented by

1724
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:44,719
Speaker 3: Cloudehealth un Buffalo Bills Radio.

1725
01:27:59,040 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 2: Welcome back to one.

1726
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 3: I have a couple other news worthy items to come

1727
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,479
Speaker 3: out of Bill's General manager Brandon Bean's press conference. Being

1728
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 3: commented on where things are at with James Cook and

1729
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 3: contract talks. He said, it's the same as it was

1730
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 3: when I spoke with the group. The last time at

1731
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 3: owners meetings, saying that he loves James Cook and looks

1732
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 3: forward to him putting on a helmet with.

1733
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 2: The Bills this season.

1734
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 3: He said, that's where we're at in this process. He

1735
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 3: did say that James Cook is not here this week,

1736
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 3: and it's voluntary, so guys come and go. Guys also

1737
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 3: have other things going on during this time period. And

1738
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 3: he also noted that James has not told me that

1739
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 3: he's unhappy with his contract and that's why he decided

1740
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,680
Speaker 3: to not be here. It's not fair to jump to

1741
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 3: a judgment like that and think that's why James Cook

1742
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 3: is not here. And then as it relates to Trey White,

1743
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,560
Speaker 3: Brandon Bean said, it's great to have him back in

1744
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 3: the business part of this NFL business as a whole.

1745
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 2: It stinks because.

1746
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 3: They had to let go of Trey White last year.

1747
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 3: Said there's no promises for Trey White, but he is

1748
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:03,640
Speaker 3: pulling for him and would love to see him as

1749
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 3: a starter this season.

1750
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the James Cook stuff is what it is.

1751
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: It's totally up to James Cook. It's in his court.

1752
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: The Bills haven't. He's under contract. They're gonna obviously gonna

1753
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: make him at least until they change that. They're gonna

1754
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: make him play under the last year of his contract

1755
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 1: is five point two I think million, And it's up

1756
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 1: to him. If he can't bring himself to come in

1757
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: and play, he's gonna let him know. The only bad

1758
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 1: part about it is if he decides to hold in

1759
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:31,640
Speaker 1: instead of hold out and come in and they got

1760
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 1: to deal with him. They got to put him on

1761
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 1: the roster, they got to hang in there with him.

1762
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 1: It's a long way from that though. And until James

1763
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 1: Cook says something, he's got to think he's just decided

1764
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:44,240
Speaker 1: not to be here. Maybe it is his contract, but

1765
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: he's not gonna make a big deal about it. We'll see.

1766
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 3: That's where I would think right now is it's we're

1767
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 3: beginning phase one of off season workouts. Let's wait and

1768
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 3: see before we jump to things. All right, Thanks for

1769
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,640
Speaker 3: tuning into one Bills Live back again tomorrow from one

1770
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:57,040
