It's a little bit 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: disconcerting to have an inch or so. We got woods 29 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 1: behind our house and I'm looking at snow covered ground. 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the grass is clean, but in the back 31 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: where the trees are and not much sun, it's it's 32 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: snow covered.

It's good the other day. 70 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: It's pretty good. It's it's daily. It's pretty good. It's 71 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: not a classic, it's not, you know, one of the 72 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: hundred best movies of all time. But Cedric the Entertainer 73 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: is so funny in that movie, and it's it's it's 74 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: a it's a good movie. It really is. There's you know, 75 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: a lot of weak performances, and the story is not great, 76 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: but boy, the stuff they have about the dialogue in 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: the barbershop is classic stuff you know about Rosa Parks 78 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: and Martin Luther King and relations between men and women. 79 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: It's just basically I can see how they're writing that 80 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: movie as a vehicle for Cedric d Entertainer. Here you 81 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: got five minutes to what you want to do for 82 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: five minutes and it worked that way, right. Good stuff. Yesterday, 83 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: what I watched was the no punt game San Francisco 84 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: hosting the Buffalo Bills nineteen ninety two. Week no, it's 85 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: like Week something something in the NFL. Bills win thirty 86 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: four thirty one nine. There's a eleven hundred yards of 87 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: offense in the games. Neither team punted in the game. 88 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: I think both teams turned it over twice and the 89 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: Niners missed a field goal with time expiring to tie 90 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: it up to go to overtime. And that was the 91 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: old Candlestick Park, the old baseball configuration. Jim was at 92 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: the height, Steve Young was phenomenal in the game. Thurman 93 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: was the atomic bomb on the field. I mean, nobody 94 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: could touch thermum and Phil Hanson, Bruce, Darryl, Darryl was 95 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: had it all. Darryl Talley was scattered all over the field, 96 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: Cornellius Bennett. Uh we had some guys and it was 97 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: fun to watch and uh we. Uh So I watched 98 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: that game, and you know it took me. I kept 99 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: getting interrupted and kept having you know, I'd stop and go, 100 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, do stuff around the house and I'd come 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: back to it. It's nice on YouTube, you can go 102 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: see it, and I was so you could pause it, 103 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: and I watched every snap. Dick Enberg and Don Trumpy 104 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: Bob Trumpy on the call. Yeah, I was in the game. 105 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: In fact, it was one of the games I remember. 106 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,559 Speaker 1: It's weird how I remember things. I've given the nature 107 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: of my elderly station in life now, but I remember 108 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: that was one of the few games where we unfurled 109 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: a four wide look which I was involved with, and 110 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: it was Andre Read, James Lofton, Don Beebe and myself 111 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: on the opposite slot spot. We only used it about 112 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: four snaps, but we want they used it to get 113 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: it on film and it was a lot of fun. 114 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: The game was unbelievable. No punts in the game. Um, 115 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: I remember I got I got scrambled um on the 116 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: first kickoff that we put down there. They had two 117 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: offensive linemen that were you know, there was my gut 118 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: that were assigned to block me. I remember a couple 119 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: of things about it. One they came up and one 120 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: of the things I used to like to do is 121 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: split offensive linemen like that, right, I'd get them and 122 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: they were because they're big big heavies, right.

And then 170 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: they went also in ninety five, the ninety five Super 171 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: Bowl against the Chargers, right, so the Super Bowl after 172 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: our fourth Super Bowl, I think they were in. So yeah, 173 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: they got beat by Dallas twice in a row or 174 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: something in the championship game. NFC never got never never 175 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: made it to us. Yeah, they got beat by They 176 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: got beat by the Giants in our first super Bowl, 177 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty five. The Giants whooped him, and then 178 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: the Giants of course beat us. So are you searching 179 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: for particular games or you just whatever you happen to pot. 180 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: I kind of went and just looked for Bill's games, 181 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: and that's and I landed on this one. And then 182 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: oh yeah, that was a good game. So I wanted 183 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: to see a good one. I don't want to see 184 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: a six to three game, you know. So there were 185 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: a couple of those. That's good, that's cool, that's good. 186 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: That's a good thing because I remember things about the 187 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: game that don't show up on the broadcast. Yeah, so 188 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: it was fun. Sure.

Zoom 218 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: meetings and video calls and logging in your workouts through 219 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: an app, and it's alsothing. We've gotta change and adapt too. 220 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: But then the last week we're still gonna be able 221 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: to put work in and uh get stuff done to 222 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: be ready for for this fall. So um, I think 223 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: whoever you know is adaptable and whoever can can change 224 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: your routine and still get work done and we'll come 225 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: out of the stronger. So we just gotta make do 226 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: with the times. How are you guys gonna do it? Matt? 227 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: Are you gonna have actual workouts like virtual workouts going? 228 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: You know with you on the West Coast and guys 229 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: here in the East coast. How would that work? The 230 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: majority of the time is going to be meeting and 231 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: so doing installs and going over the offense and talking 232 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: through that. And we have a actual workout that we 233 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: would have to do through that, so they don't film you. 234 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: It's not like you all log in together, I don't think. 235 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: And this time of year we don't do any field 236 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: work you so when that time comes, I'm not sure 237 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: how we're going to handle practices. There's I mean, there's 238 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: not gonna be a virtual practice. So right now it's 239 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: it's man of the these meetings and is it on 240 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: our system? As far as doing the workouts, I mean, 241 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: they're not gonna ask you to video take your workouts, right, 242 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: and it's like here's what we expect you to do 243 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: do it. Is that how it'll work? I guess I'm 244 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: not too sure. We're gonna get more details on that 245 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: on Mondays with our team meeting and we'll find out 246 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: more details then, but I'm guessing it's gonna be on 247 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: our system. Yeah, man, I gotta ask you. We've had 248 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: this conversation. One of the benefits for the Bills this 249 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: year in particular is the continuity with you and Brian 250 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: day Ball Can Dorsey, you and josh Um coming back 251 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: does this That's gotta be an asset once things do 252 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: kick in, if and when they do, you guys being 253 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: able to hit the ground running where you left off 254 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: last year's got to be a huge plus compared to 255 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: teams who have a different coordinator, a new quarterback room, 256 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: a new new system, or even a new head coach, 257 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt, And that's one of the things 258 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: that's given us confidence so here this year. Giving the circumstances, 259 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: we're not learning a new offense, we're not dealing with 260 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: m yea a quarterback learning a new system. A young guy, 261 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, Josh is coming in on on the third year, 262 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: So we're confident in in who we have and even 263 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: getting a veteran receiver like dig to be able to 264 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: catch him up compared to a rookie receiver is a 265 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: big time. So we're Yeah, we're definitely excited about where 266 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: we're headed. Um. We're not feeling taken back or just 267 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: made by any of this. Um. But again, we're just 268 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to stay on top of these leagues for 269 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks and make sure we come 270 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: into camp or the season. Rady hill Man, it is 271 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: the same group back, and I wonder what the same 272 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and I guess Ken Dorsey as well. Do 273 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: you expect that a coordinator will have new wrinkles to 274 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: an offense when you go to camp, even if it 275 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: is all the same people and virtually, you know, both 276 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: playing staff and coaching staff virtually the same cast of characters. 277 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: Do you go there thinking, well, he's gonna have some new, 278 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: something new for us to learn this year. Yeah, and 279 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: I think you know, on Monday, he'll probably have some 280 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: stuff that has changed a little bit. Every year. Is 281 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: always going to be a little different, some little yea 282 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: wrinkles or twists here and there with the offense, But overall, 283 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: like the formations and what we call protections and the 284 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: run game, like all that is going to be the same. 285 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: Ye that's our staple. So at least the bulk of 286 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: what we need to know is already in our heads 287 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: and we already feel it. But there's gonna be yes, 288 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: there's gonna be twists and gameplay adjustments here there, and 289 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: we'll we'll get down a bit good and you know, 290 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: we'll get back together in buff will. But basically, Matt, 291 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: what you're saying is there may be new concepts to learn, 292 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: but the words and the language is all going to 293 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: be the same. So when he says something, you'll know, oh, yeah, 294 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: that's different, not because you have to learn what the 295 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: words mean, but just where to line up and what 296 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: to do on a certain play. The language is really 297 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: the thing that's key, that gives you the head start correct, correct, Yeah, 298 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: and when it comes to and know how to stop. 299 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: We may have new you know, code words and the 300 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: stings just because those are a little easier to catch 301 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: on for opponents. Right after the CEP for game foot 302 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: is TV compies, so those they're always changing regardless of 303 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: what system you're in. But yeah, the the meet and 304 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: picatis of our offenses, who's already pretty cemented in in 305 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: order to go with that, Live with Bill's backup quarterback 306 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley on the line with us from southern California. Hey, 307 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: matt Um, you know this is talking about You've said 308 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: it on our show. Josh Allen says it once in 309 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: a while. And I wonder, aside from you know, from 310 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: miliarity with the system, etc. How much you guys seem 311 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: to have a really good quarterback room, you know, you 312 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: and Josh and Davis web last year and of course 313 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: the coaches. How much of a factor is that And 314 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: how does it compare to previous stops you've had in 315 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: the NFL with the Eagles or Arizona and the Bears 316 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: or San Francisco. I mean, what's give us if you 317 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: can give us like an example of what the vibe 318 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: is in that quarterback room and kind of what the 319 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: what the tenor of those quarterback meetings are. You guys 320 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time together in the same little 321 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: room there in Arch Park, right. Yeah, it's a great group. 322 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: It's my favorite room I've been in. And I don't 323 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: know if it's because it's the first time I'm the 324 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: oldest keeping in the room, so I'll finally getting some 325 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: respect around these parts. But either way, we have a 326 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: really good relationship with all of guys where it's like 327 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: harder that we work where we need to.

You know what I mean, Steve, 530 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: people are exactly think about what's something fun. They're not 531 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: the ones have to work the draft like you and 532 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: I do, right, so we gotta you know, we're gonna 533 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: be working. And interestingly enough, think about this no first 534 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: rounder this year, the rosters kind of almost carved, you know, 535 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: carved in stone right now. There may be one or 536 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: two guys that we're not quite sure about who's gonna 537 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: do it, but at least we think those guys that 538 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: are gonna start or on the roster are already signed. 539 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: Thinking where we were two years ago, when we're in 540 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: the top ten in the draft and moving up to 541 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: get a quarterback and we had all this draft capital. 542 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: Those were the days, right Yeah, Draft Day two years 543 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: ago was was insane. I mean, we didn't know they're 544 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: gonna get Josh Allen. I mean you I remember having 545 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: this discussion draft wey you thought I would on the 546 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: air saying, hey, don't be surprised if they go for 547 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I didn't have an inkling they would, but 548 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: it was a possibility to people say no, it's got 549 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: to be Josh Rosen, No, it's got to be this guy. 550 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: And I said, Josh Allen is a factoryre for the Bills. Um, 551 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: and that's the way it worked out, obviously, But um, 552 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: it was crazy bet Draft week two years ago, getting 553 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: set for the draft, not knowing I mean, we knew 554 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: they were going to get a quarterback. I didn't know 555 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: they'd move up to where, how far they'd move up 556 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: to get them, up to seven to get them, but 557 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: it was it was pretty cool. We do rather to 558 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: the draft. And I had said too, I said, I 559 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: didn't know who they were going to get, whether it's Mayfield, Darnald, Allen, 560 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: or Rosen and Lamar Jackson wasn't even in the conversation 561 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: for Mozen, right, I thought, And I said, I said, 562 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: I want any one of those top four guys, Rosen, Allen, 563 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: Mayfield were Darnald and I hadn't even thought about, you know, 564 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, remember he was supposed to you know, he 565 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: was so controversial. And I said, just get one of 566 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: those guys, right, just get one of the fours. I 567 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: don't know the difference. I don't know how they're going 568 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: to turn out, but get one right. And we got 569 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: the guy we got in for right now. I'm really 570 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: happy with this one. I'm too. Yeah, I'm thinking of 571 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: do you remember the legions And I don't find fault 572 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: with us, but the legions of Bills fans who were 573 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: pushing Josh rosenhard and we're second guessing you worked the 574 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: entire next day. There was so much checking asking, oh, 575 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: how could they leave Josh Rosen on the board? Why 576 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: didn't they get Josh Rosen? I think it's pretty clear 577 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: now two years later, that was a right move, right, 578 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: not just for the Bills but for everybody, right right, Yeah, 579 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: that Josh Rosen. I mean I think about this. You know, 580 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: the guy and nobody picked in Lamar Jackson. He was 581 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: the MVP this year. We all missed on him, right, Um, 582 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm not sold about him, but I know he's the 583 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, but you can't. You can't sneeze an MVP season, right, 584 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's unbelievable, and certainly a lot of things 585 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: went right for him, but you know, and tip your 586 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: hat to John Harbaugh for making that happen. But for me, 587 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: right now, this last season, only one of those two 588 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: of those guys, uh, made the playoffs, our guy and Lamar. 589 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: The other three guys didn't. And uh, you know, I 590 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: kind of like the way it turned out. I do too. Hey. 591 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: Coming up, We've got Maddy Glad Bills and Sabers beat 592 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: reporter joining us from PSC.

Uh? 608 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm in Chicago and this morning we woke up to 609 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: a few inches of snows. Okay, welcome to the clouds. Right, 610 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: we got a little snow here too. Nobody's excited about it. 611 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta tip my hat to you, Maddy. 612 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: You've been keeping track of mock drafts, and in this 613 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: kind of season where everybody's locked up and there's like 614 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: ten gazillion mock drafts going out, what's your you know, 615 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 1: what's that been like? There's literally multiple ones that come 616 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: out every day. Now. I've been tracking them since January, 617 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: and in January and February it was it was a 618 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: cople every week, but now it's multiple every day. And 619 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: I probably tracked maybe fifty before we traded for Stefon Diggs, 620 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,719 Speaker 1: So all of those mocks went out the window as 621 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: soon as we traded for Stefon Diggs because those were 622 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: all about the number twenty two pick. And so now 623 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: we've tracked a total of forty with the fifty fourth 624 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: overall pick. Because you're now seeing a lot more second 625 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: and third round, seven round drafts that are coming out 626 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: with the draft being just a week away, so we've 627 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: we've got a good amount and I trapped some trends 628 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of these have us taking an edge 629 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: rusher with the fifty fourth overall pick. Yeah, I saw that, Maddie, 630 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: and I found it interesting mainly because from everything I've 631 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: read and heard, there's not a ton of good quality 632 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: edge rushers in here. But you've got, i mean, more 633 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: of these mock drafts. Out of the forty, what do 634 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: you have? Twelve of them pick edge rusher for the Bills, right, Yeah, 635 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: Twelve out of the forty for number fifty four have 636 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: us choosing an edge rusher. Ten out of the forty 637 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: have us choosing a running back. So edge rushers the favorite. 638 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: Edge rusher is also the favorite. For the twenty six 639 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: mock drafts we've tracked with the third round pick number 640 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: eighty six, eight out of the twenty six have us 641 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: choosing an edge, five out of the twenty six have 642 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: us choosing a running back, and five out of the 643 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: twenty six also have us choosing a corner with that 644 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: number eighty six picks. So it'll be interesting. It's pretty 645 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: in line with what you've read online if you're tracking 646 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: mock drafts and what people are saying, the favorites are edge, 647 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: running back in corner right now. Maddie Glad sports reporter 648 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: for for Google Sports and Entertainment. I know I do 649 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: it every time. So Maddie, what's your gut feeling is 650 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: do people think the Bills are still in the market 651 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: for an edge rusher because they don't have faith in 652 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: the guys on the roster that or the guys that 653 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: they've signed in free agency? Or is it because those 654 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: guys are getting longer in the tooth and there's time 655 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: to refurbish, you know, the age cycle of the Bills 656 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: front four. I think Brandon being the Sean mcdernamt have 657 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: faith in who they have at edge rush right now. 658 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: I mean Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison. Those are going to 659 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: be two great guys to have on our defensive line 660 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: this year. But you look a few years down the 661 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: road now they're getting into being older for that position 662 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL, So you're gonna want to replenish with youth. 663 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: And if you have the ability to do that at 664 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: number fifty four, if someone starts to fall, why wouldn't 665 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: you do that? Brandon Bean hasn't picked a running back 666 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: in the round besides Christian McCaffrey, who, of course you 667 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: would want to choose. Christian McCaffrey. Early in the draft 668 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: like he did. But other than that, Devin Singletary was 669 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 1: a third rounder. Looking at how Brandon Bean has drafted 670 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: running backs, it seems like it unlikely to do that 671 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: in the second round. But also, you know, we don't 672 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: know what's on his big board and if there's anybody 673 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: that's gonna fall first round into the second round that 674 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: they're going to target. So at the end of the day, 675 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: who's on his big board at that time, whether it's 676 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: someone that they're going to wait for or someone that 677 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: falls that they're going to trade up for. And Brandon 678 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: Bean made it clear to you guys that he will 679 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: be aggressive. If he needs to be in a first 680 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: round isn't likely, But if he wants to go ahead 681 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: and trade up to a forty eight or something like 682 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: that to go after an edge or whoever he wants 683 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: to go after, that's definitely not out of the question. Yeah, 684 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: I got a ten dollars vet with Steve that I 685 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: think they are going to trade up Maddie, maybe as 686 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: high as what thirty five to forty it'll take them 687 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: doing it'll take him, they'll lose some of their picks 688 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 1: the rest of the way, But how much room is 689 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: there for these draft picks anyway? Steve mur Murf keeps 690 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: bringing up a ten dollars bet that I've never agreed to, 691 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: but I will say, yeah, there's a real opportunity, a 692 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: real chance that the Bills or are thinking about doing 693 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: that if the guy falls. And what do you think, Maddie, 694 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: Is there gonna be an edge rusher that falls that far? 695 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 1: Or is it gonna be a running back that falls 696 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: that far? Or maybe a corner that falls that far. 697 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna jump up there to take 698 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: a wide out, but maybe a corner or an edge rusher. 699 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know about a running back either, But 700 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: if what kind of player would it take to fall 701 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: to say thirty eight or forty for the Bills to 702 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: jump up And who might that be? I think we've 703 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: heard Brandon being talk enough about and just the NFL 704 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: wide talk about how important it is to get a 705 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: good edge rusher. Edge rusher are next to right under quarterbacks. 706 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: When you're talking about an NFL draft. That's a premium 707 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: position that if you can find somebody that can be 708 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: the glue to your defensive line there, you're gonna want 709 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,439 Speaker 1: to go after someone like that, so I could see 710 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: an edge rusher falling or a corner falling. I don't 711 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: think a running back will fall because I think only 712 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,479 Speaker 1: one running back is going to go in the first 713 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: round anyways, and then I think the run on running 714 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: backs are going to start in the second and third round. 715 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: And based off of some of the mock drafts that 716 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: I've been looking at, it seems like, yes, there's a 717 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: great amount of running backs that we could go after 718 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: in the second round, but there's also going to be 719 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: a good amount that we could go after in the 720 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: third round as well. And I wrote an article that 721 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: has some draft expert opinions that went up today and 722 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: mel Kiper has us taking Julian Okwara at number fifty 723 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: four and then aj Dillon, a running back out of 724 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: Boston College at number eighty six, And we did a 725 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: conference call with him and he just said, I think 726 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: edge rusher is going to be the best available at 727 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: that time, and you can wait till the third or 728 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: fourth round to get a good back. To compliment. Devin 729 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: Singletary by with Maddy glad Bill's reporter for Go Google 730 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 1: Sports and Entertainment. That's interesting, especially about the third rounder. 731 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: A J. Dillon. He's kind of a big running back, right, 732 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: He's a bigger size running back. I can see why 733 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: mel Kiper might look at him as a good complimentary 734 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: back to motor to Devin Singletary. Yeah. AJ Dillon. He's 735 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: six feet, he's two hundred forty seven pounds. He ran 736 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: a four or five three, which is pretty good for 737 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: his size. And you think about Devin Singletary and his size, 738 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: A lot of these running backs that are going to 739 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: be coming off the board in the second round are 740 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: smaller like Devin Singletary. And you think about how do 741 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: we compliment Devin Singletary. You're probably gonna want to compliment him, 742 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 1: from my opinion, is somebody who's a little bit bigger 743 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: of a running back and who can do things that 744 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary maybe can't excel at at this point in 745 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,839 Speaker 1: his career. So a Clyde Edwards Hilaire, who's a very 746 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: talented running back who will come off the board probably 747 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 1: in the second round. He's a tiny running back. I 748 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: don't understand going after a bigger running back AJ Dillon, 749 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: cam Akers. Those are your five eleven six feet type 750 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: of guys who can be shifty, who are bigger, who 751 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: can break tackles, who can be explosive out of the backfield. 752 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: I think that's what you're looking at too. Compliment of 753 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: running back like Devin Singletary. What about an you know, 754 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: so you got these running backs that might come, you 755 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 1: might be able to wait till the third if there's 756 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: a second. If it's not a quara, is there something? 757 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: Is it going to be somebody like Curtis Weaver, Jabari Zuniga, 758 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: you know Taylor, Darryl Taylor? Um? I mean tell me 759 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: about Darryl Taylor. You know him from your days at Tennessee. 760 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: Is he a pro type body and kind of an 761 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: edge rusher that would could transition to the next level. Yeah. So, 762 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: Jabari Zuniga, Curtis Weaver, and Darryl Taylor have all been 763 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: edge rushers that have been mocked to us. Now, Curtis 764 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 1: Weaver someone who's been mocked to us at number fifty 765 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 1: four coming out of Boise State. Jabari Zuniga from floor 766 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: Orta and Darryl Taylor from Tennessee are guys who I've 767 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: seen mocked to us at number eighty six. If we 768 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: choose to go other than an edge rusher with the 769 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: fifty fourth pick. Would probably maybe look at an edge 770 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: rusher with the third round pick if someone's available, and 771 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,240 Speaker 1: Darryl Taylor is someone who Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks 772 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: agreed could be a steel in this draft. He's someone 773 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: who I got to work with when I worked at Tennessee. 774 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: He's six four, two sixty seven. He played in a 775 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: four three scheme, a three four scheme at Tennessee, so 776 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: he knows how to play multiple defenses. And he's a 777 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: guy that you look at and you just think, this 778 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: kid is a nasty defensive end with the way that 779 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: he's built. He is chiseled out of stone. He's somebody 780 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: who's pretty quick off the line of scrimmage. He has 781 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: that dog type of personality you want at a defensive end. 782 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 1: He's really good at getting his hands up in passing lanes. 783 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: He looks like he's been shot out of a cannon 784 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: at point, sometimes off the line of scrimmage going after quarterbacks. 785 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: He actually played with a stress fracture, he announced after 786 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: the season, in all thirteen games last year, so he's 787 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: been recovering from that in the offseason. He didn't really 788 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: do anything in the combine so scouts are looking at 789 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: tape from this past season and seasons before. He's a 790 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: redshirt senior, so he sat out a year with an 791 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: injury as well. But you know last year he had 792 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: eight and a half sacks, four passes defense, ten TFLs. 793 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: I think this is somebody that could be a steel 794 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 1: because I've seen him play and I know him as 795 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: a person. He's someone who also really grew into a 796 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: leadership role at Tennessee in his junior and senior year, 797 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: and that's something that you want out of an end 798 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: if you can get that. Maddie Glad of our guests. Hey, Maddy, 799 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the mock drafts come fast and furiously. 800 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,800 Speaker 1: Now we're only six days away from around one of 801 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: the draft. What are you going to be doing?

So you just to explain, you compile 807 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: what you're reading in mock drafts and put a That's 808 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: how you put a mock draft together, Is that right? Yeah? 809 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: Just compile what I've seen. So it's basically an easy 810 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: way if you're not tracking something every single day, it's 811 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: an easy way to see what's came out that week. 812 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: So we have one coming out Saturday, one coming out 813 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: next week I believe on Wednesday or Thursday, right before 814 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: the draft, so another last round to look at compilation 815 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: of mock drafts.

Maybe I hope you're not. 835 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: You're not gonna bet on these mock drafts. Like have 836 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: you ever seen the stats at after the draft of 837 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: the correct answers, right team, right player. It's like, in 838 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 1: the first thirty two, maybe two are correct, Like I 839 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: imagine Joe Burrow's going to Cincinnati, But I don't know 840 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: if anybody else will be right in these mock drafts. 841 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: You gotta promise me this too, Maddie, do a wrap 842 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: up article about how who was right, who was wrong, 843 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 1: and how you know all that. You gotta promise me 844 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,919 Speaker 1: to do that. Nobody will blame you, right because you gotta. 845 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: You're just compiling everybody else's stuff. Yeah, I'm just compiling 846 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: everybody else's stuff. So it'll be super interesting to see 847 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: if anyone was right. And it usually I looked at 848 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: the one from a last year and or two years 849 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:06,720 Speaker 1: ago when we drafted uh, Joshen. And it was funny 850 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 1: because in the beginning, like in January and February, it 851 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: was so off, and then as you get closer to 852 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: the draft, more mock drafts had us choosing Josh Allen, 853 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: so the earlier ones are usually completely off. And I 854 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: was on Twitter today I saw Ian Rappaport tweeted that 855 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: some NFL GM or NFL execs said that this is 856 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,280 Speaker 1: the year where people have been so off on mock drafts. 857 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: It's not even funny. I think it'd be off more 858 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,800 Speaker 1: than they have it in the past. But yeah, you 859 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 1: gotta give us. You gotta give us that, Maddie, go 860 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,439 Speaker 1: back and look, because we need stuff to talk about 861 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: after this draft's over. We needed to scour this so 862 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,240 Speaker 1: we have fingers to point at and people to blame. 863 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 1: You know, oh, exactly what did you want to do 864 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: after the draft rather than blame people for doing their 865 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,720 Speaker 1: mock drafts wrong. Always, always plenty of blame to go around, Maddie. 866 00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,720 Speaker 1: It's an old family seat. Thanks Mattie, every good weekend. 867 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: Thanks Thanks guys.

A 885 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: lot to talk to Thurman about. He's done a lot 886 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,800 Speaker 1: of charitable stuff. He got involved with former Bills special 887 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: teamer John Kordo on a project. We'll talk with him 888 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: about that. He got involved with Ostria Chinon restaurant in 889 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: downtown Buffalo, with a project a couple of weeks ago, 890 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: and beyond that, I want to talk to Thurman about 891 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 1: what kind of running back the Bills might need if 892 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: they're going to draft a running back next week in 893 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, that's right, Yeah, that's what I want 894 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: to ask him about if because I was, you know, 895 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 1: like that game I was watching that I was telling 896 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: you about just yesterday, that game with no punts. Thurman 897 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: was the atomic bomb in that game. But Kenny Davis 898 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: and I've been watching games over the last week the 899 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: old nineties teams, Kenneth Davis played a lot, and he 900 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: was a little different than Thurman. He was he was 901 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,800 Speaker 1: faster in the open field. When he got loose, nobody 902 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: was catching him. But Thurman was obviously so difficult to 903 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: tackle and was so shifty, and he could run routes 904 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: and Don Thurman just did everything. But Kenny was a 905 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: great compliment. He was a great short yardage back. He 906 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,280 Speaker 1: was a great change of pace. But they were different. 907 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: And I want to know what Thurman thinks about. You know, 908 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hear it from Thurman. What kind of back 909 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 1: he thinks Devin Singletary needs to compliment him. What's the one. 910 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: What's the two punch of the one two punch of 911 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: the Bills running back? You know, yeah, so it'll be fun, 912 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 1: and I do want to I don't think that's the 913 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,280 Speaker 1: number one priority for the Bills. You know, complimentary running 914 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: back means they don't need I saw somebody tweeted in 915 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,439 Speaker 1: the other day, or the Bill should make a trade 916 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 1: for Leonard Fournette, or you know, come out. They have 917 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: their primary running back. He was under used last year. 918 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: Let's give a full slate of work for a Devin Singletary. 919 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 1: I think he can handle it based on what we saw. 920 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: They don't need to end up backwards trying to find 921 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: another great running back to head. They don't want to 922 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,359 Speaker 1: pay one. As a matter of fact, I don't think 923 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,800 Speaker 1: it's right right. I don't care if they get a 924 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: guy as good as Leonard Fournette, but don't pay him. 925 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to give anything up for 926 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 1: him if you want to get him in a fifth 927 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,800 Speaker 1: or sixth round, or you know, trade a trade a 928 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: bag of footballs for one, I'm sure, but don't get 929 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 1: one that's that expensive. If you can get a guy 930 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: that's a phenomenal athlete and a phenomenal talent. Yeah, get him. 931 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 1: Good players make you better, but you don't need to, 932 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, don't go outside the lines to go find 933 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: a guy you got one.

Is he gonna 1068 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,360 Speaker 1: lose like a year of baseball this year? I mean, 1069 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: they probably had a pretty decent spring league, maybe even 1070 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 1: going into the summer for him down there. Huh yeah, 1071 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean his season is pretty much over. Um, you know, 1072 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 1: they played in the fall and now they were just 1073 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 1: into they were getting ready to play their tenth game, 1074 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 1: uh down in Florida when all this hitt and you know, 1075 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,439 Speaker 1: they started telling the kids not to come back because 1076 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 1: it was kind of like over spring break and and 1077 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,439 Speaker 1: they just stole the kids, you know, don't come back. 1078 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,399 Speaker 1: And pretty much the baseball season that you know, what's ended. 1079 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 1: And now we're just uh no, just kind of sending 1080 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: out videos of a firm, you know, working out you know, 1081 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,720 Speaker 1: some of the old baseball highlights or the past ten games. 1082 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 1: But you know, he he's he's doing well.

Should it 1212 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 1: be just like Devon? Should it be something different? Or 1213 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,720 Speaker 1: and and what should those differences be? What are your 1214 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 1: thoughts on that? Uh, you know what, we haven't well 1215 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 1: we've seen Devin, but we haven't really seen him play 1216 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 1: a complete game yet kind of you know, I mean 1217 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 1: we've seen him play what six seven games this year 1218 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 1: this past year. I mean, I need to see where 1219 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna be and how he's gonna be involved for 1220 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 1: the first four games of the season and then the 1221 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,600 Speaker 1: next four. But I don't know what type of guy 1222 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,920 Speaker 1: that you bring in. Uh do you bring in the 1223 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,760 Speaker 1: same guy like him for probably a little bit taller 1224 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:29,680 Speaker 1: and a little bit stronger. I don't know. Um, you know, 1225 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 1: I had a nice conversation with DeAndre Swift, who's and 1226 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 1: running back for Georgia. Probably won't make it to the 1227 01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 1: second round, but he's a guy that can do it all. 1228 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 1: He's very he can play first, second, and third down. 1229 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 1: Um uh you know, I don't know what that's gonna 1230 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 1: entail with him bringing in a running back that's gonna 1231 01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 1: be complimentary to to a single arry. So I don't know. 1232 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 1: I said wait and see because I really, to be 1233 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,280 Speaker 1: honest with you guys, haven't really been keeping up with 1234 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that's been bought on in football. 1235 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,680 Speaker 1: I really haven't. I've been trying to stay away from 1236 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: everything because every time you turn on the television or 1237 01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:12,000 Speaker 1: radio is who's the best Lebron or Michael Jordan or 1238 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,240 Speaker 1: you know who raiding back. I mean, it's all over 1239 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 1: the place, and I don't want to deal with it 1240 01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 1: like that. I just watched golf all pretty much all day, 1241 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,840 Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't know what running back they're 1242 01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 1: going to bring in here, but I do think they 1243 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 1: need to bring another one in here. When he's going 1244 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,440 Speaker 1: to be a guy that can be an all purpose 1245 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 1: back like Devon, I think he is. Just you have 1246 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 1: to wait and see during time. It's our guests, we'll 1247 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 1: turning the bills. Don't pick until the second round a 1248 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,280 Speaker 1: week until a week from tonight, fifty fourth overall. But 1249 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 1: you get attested the fact that there's plenty of good 1250 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 1: players in the second round. Maybe some good running backs 1251 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,720 Speaker 1: available usually in the second round. Huh yeah, man, a 1252 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,920 Speaker 1: couple of running I know a running back that went 1253 01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,560 Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame that that was got in 1254 01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 1: the second round. Right, That's what I was thinking of, right, Yeah, 1255 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean, you know, hey, second round 1256 01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: er guys, they're hungry because they thought they should have 1257 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,280 Speaker 1: went in the first round. Well, everybody kind of think 1258 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 1: that they should go in the first round. But when 1259 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,920 Speaker 1: you dropped down to that second round, you know, you 1260 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 1: pretty much have a chip on your shoulder if the 1261 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:19,440 Speaker 1: last team, UM, who picks this year last? Um, I 1262 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 1: don't even know Kansas City. I mean that next that 1263 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: that next pick in the second round, he's really hot 1264 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 1: because he was that close to going in the first round. 1265 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: So he's gonna have a chip on his shoulder. So um, yeah, Look, 1266 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: I know there's been a lot of great players. Not 1267 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 1: only you know that the Bills have drafted in the 1268 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 1: second round here, but if you look at the entire 1269 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,880 Speaker 1: National Football League, there's a lot of great guys who 1270 01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 1: became Hall of famers that were picked from the second round, 1271 01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 1: third round. And but you always kind of look for 1272 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 1: that gamon in the rough, you know, whether he's a 1273 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,960 Speaker 1: free agent or whether he's a guy in the in 1274 01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 1: the seventh round. Uh, you know, because you know the Bills, 1275 01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: especially when we were here task and we had success 1276 01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 1: with guys that we found in the later round and 1277 01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,880 Speaker 1: free agent. And I think Sean McDermot and Brandon Bean 1278 01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 1: are doing an excellent job. Every time I turn on 1279 01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 1: ESPN or whatever. Now you hear Dion sand or Steve Mariucci. 1280 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 1: They're talking about when you look at one team to 1281 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,640 Speaker 1: jump out at you in the AMC they talk about 1282 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,800 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and I think they have done an 1283 01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 1: excellent job of really mixing in and obviously getting Diggs 1284 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 1: and getting a couple of other guys who that's going 1285 01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 1: to help their defense. I think they're right on point 1286 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 1: with it. These guys should be better next year. Dermoty, 1287 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:39,680 Speaker 1: you mentioned it, guys who getting picked in the second 1288 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,560 Speaker 1: round or kind of they were a chip on their 1289 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,960 Speaker 1: should or whatever. You had that going for you when 1290 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 1: the Bills picked you. You got passed over. And I 1291 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 1: won't go into you know, draft day and what it 1292 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 1: looked like and you sitting on your couch there, but 1293 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 1: I gotta ask it. I watched it. I watched the 1294 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,760 Speaker 1: game yesterday. You'll know what I'm talking about. I remember 1295 01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 1: the game in San Francisco where nobody punted. It was 1296 01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 1: thirty one. You did absolutely everything in that game. You 1297 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 1: were like the ultimate weapon and it was coming off 1298 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 1: a year where you were MVP. So how did you 1299 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 1: keep that chip on your shoulder after everybody in the 1300 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 1: whole world said you were the best player in the league. Well, 1301 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 1: I mean because I think I kept that chip on 1302 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,880 Speaker 1: my shoulder because it became a bigger chip because we 1303 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 1: lost the Super Bowl the year before, and I think 1304 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 1: that kind of feud it a little bit more like, yeah, okay, 1305 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 1: yeah I won the MVP last year or whatever, but 1306 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,760 Speaker 1: this is a whole entire different year. So I wanted 1307 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 1: to come out and be better than I was my 1308 01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: MVP year. I mean, I was thinking, individually, can I 1309 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,840 Speaker 1: win this award two years in a row? I don't know, 1310 01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 1: but I'm still kind of hurting with that shoulder from 1311 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl lost. So when you add all that together, man, 1312 01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, you're out there doing it for your teammates, 1313 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 1: try to do whatever you can to win games, and 1314 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 1: obviously if you're doing well, the individual stats will take 1315 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 1: care of themselves. So I knew was in the type 1316 01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 1: of office that we were running that you know what, 1317 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: I was going to get my touches. Whether it was 1318 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,360 Speaker 1: running the football, catching the ball out of the backfield, 1319 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,040 Speaker 1: lining up as a wide receiver, or sitting in there 1320 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,280 Speaker 1: taking on the blitzing linebacker or defensive back. I knew 1321 01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 1: I was going to get my touches, and I would 1322 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 1: just kind of just focus on what the team was 1323 01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 1: going to do, how we were going to bounce back, 1324 01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 1: and obviously we bounced back a couple more times and 1325 01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 1: into the season four years in a row losing the 1326 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But you know what, you come back every year, man, 1327 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 1: thinking that you're going to win it, thinking that you're 1328 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 1: going to be a better football player. Life on the 1329 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 1: line with Hall of Famer running back Thurm and Thomas. 1330 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 1: We haven't talked to you in a while, Thurm, and 1331 01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,200 Speaker 1: you said, you haven't been really closely following football news, 1332 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 1: NFL news. Certainly you've heard that Tom Brady is out 1333 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:53,959 Speaker 1: of the AFC East. What do you think of that movement? 1334 01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:58,360 Speaker 1: What do you think of him with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Well, 1335 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 1: I knew a couple of people very close up in 1336 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: the executive part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and I've 1337 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,280 Speaker 1: been talking to him, you know. The day that Brady side, 1338 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, I text the buddy of mine, uh and 1339 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:16,760 Speaker 1: he was like, you know what, My phone was blowing up. 1340 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,280 Speaker 1: This is absolutely nuts. And the guy was like he 1341 01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,680 Speaker 1: went on and on and on, and he was like, 1342 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,160 Speaker 1: I just hope that this doesn't blow up in our 1343 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 1: face and Tom Brady gets worse. That was the only 1344 01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 1: thing that he was kind of worried about. It. I mean, 1345 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 1: he was really you know, talking like you know, I mean, 1346 01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 1: his stats were okay last year, but then again I 1347 01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 1: got to explaining to him, well you have Bruce Arians, Uh, 1348 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:44,280 Speaker 1: you got Mike Evans, Uh, you got good one. I 1349 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,360 Speaker 1: think I think you're pretty set on what he can 1350 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:51,080 Speaker 1: what he's going to do, and uh, hey, he's a competitor. 1351 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 1: You know, he's going in twenty first year. Obviously not 1352 01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots, but you know, all eyes 1353 01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 1: are gonna be on him to see what he can do. Um, 1354 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:02,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to seed. But I tell you what, 1355 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: it definitely opens up the AFC East. I can tell 1356 01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 1: you that right now. And I think everybody that's a Bills, 1357 01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 1: Dolphins and Jets fans are very happy about that. Yeah. 1358 01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,760 Speaker 1: I mean I gotta ask you too. Do people forget that, 1359 01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,679 Speaker 1: you know, they're thinking Tom Brady really in a tough 1360 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,600 Speaker 1: year last year, didn't go for him well offensively. Do 1361 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,560 Speaker 1: people forget that they won twelve games? Yeah? People do 1362 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,719 Speaker 1: forget that they won twelve games. Yeah. I think people 1363 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 1: forget that they won twelve games and little without um 1364 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,720 Speaker 1: that running game or Tennessee, you know, they probably would 1365 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,880 Speaker 1: have won another game they probably would have won a 1366 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,439 Speaker 1: playoff game, and um, but I think what really hurt 1367 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 1: them was really having to play that extra playoff game 1368 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,120 Speaker 1: because if you look at the last twenty years, they've 1369 01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 1: either been the number one or number two seed and 1370 01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:57,040 Speaker 1: had that by week. So, um yeah, I don't know 1371 01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,200 Speaker 1: what to expect out of the New England papers this year. Um, 1372 01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 1: I have no idea. Tom Brady is not there, so 1373 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,720 Speaker 1: we haven't seen it in twenty years, so we don't 1374 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,840 Speaker 1: really know. But you know, having a coach like Belichick, 1375 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,680 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna be up to something and I'm 1376 01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,680 Speaker 1: sure they're gonna be competitive. Would he likes you when 1377 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:19,200 Speaker 1: when the AMC East without Tom Brady? Absolutely he would. 1378 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,479 Speaker 1: So you know he's gonna be This is probably gonna 1379 01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,760 Speaker 1: be the hardest that he's coached to the last twenty 1380 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 1: years because he doesn't have Tom Brady. Yeah yeah, yeah, 1381 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 1: go ahead. See I'm telling Thurman, I'm telling Murph right now. 1382 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,519 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots will win. I've told him I 1383 01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,840 Speaker 1: think they'll still win double digit games. I still think 1384 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 1: he thinks he's gonna win like seven. I never said that. 1385 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 1: What what? What what do you think I'm thinking about it? Yesterday. 1386 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:47,800 Speaker 1: I think they'll win the nine, maybe ten. I think 1387 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: the Bills will be a game or two ahead of them. Oh, 1388 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,519 Speaker 1: I told you that.

Uh? 1461 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: Before the guy that's there now? Wasn't he? Who was 1462 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,880 Speaker 1: the head wasn't? What was Perry Fuel? Was the Perry Fuel? Ever? 1463 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 1: A head coach? Um? He was an interim interim here 1464 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 1: and maybe somewhere else too. Yeah, you're not getting in 1465 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,479 Speaker 1: confused with Eric Studisville. Are you was a running back? No? No, no, no, no, 1466 01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:53,639 Speaker 1: I know Eric Studisville Hunt anyway, So there you go. Yeah, 1467 01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:59,439 Speaker 1: Perry Fuel moment and UM had to be maybe ten 1468 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,240 Speaker 1: twelve year to go. Dickt Around was a head coach, 1469 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,280 Speaker 1: Perry Fuel was the Bills defensive coordinator, and the Bills 1470 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,000 Speaker 1: have a lead at Carolina and Perry Fuels coach in 1471 01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 1: the Bills defense and it's a one score lead, and 1472 01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 1: Perry Fuels coordinating the defense. Late in the game, I'm 1473 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,240 Speaker 1: doing the game on the radio and right next to 1474 01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 1: us glass between us is the Bills coaches booth, and 1475 01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:20,960 Speaker 1: Perry Fuels right next to me, he's on the first 1476 01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,519 Speaker 1: seat to the left and their booth. I'm on the 1477 01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,080 Speaker 1: first position on the right in our booth, and Carolina 1478 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:30,080 Speaker 1: late in the game starts moving the ball, getting in 1479 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 1: scoring position to maybe tie the game up or take 1480 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,920 Speaker 1: a lead. And I was getting worried. I was getting worried, 1481 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,960 Speaker 1: I confess. And I looked over to my right through 1482 01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:43,240 Speaker 1: the window at Perry Fuel then defensive coordinating the Bills 1483 01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 1: calm on the defense, and I kind of put my 1484 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,200 Speaker 1: hands up, like, well, what are we doing. We're gonna 1485 01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:48,960 Speaker 1: stop this. And you know what he did. He winked 1486 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 1: at me. He winked, and I thought, Okay, we're good. 1487 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,800 Speaker 1: All the wink from Perry Fuel to get me convinced, Okay, 1488 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:57,559 Speaker 1: the bill is gonna be all right. It was great. 1489 01:15:57,720 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 1: It was great. He and I laughed about that for 1490 01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:01,840 Speaker 1: years after. He just he just winked like I got this. 1491 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 1: Don't worry about this. I got it. It almost got 1492 01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,400 Speaker 1: away from him that day. He was with he's with 1493 01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,679 Speaker 1: the Redskins for a minute, Carolina, Seattle. He's been, he's 1494 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:13,559 Speaker 1: been around the league, and uh, you're right, it's uh 1495 01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,040 Speaker 1: just he was an interim head coach. That's what I 1496 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 1: was thinking of. Sou Where and where else was the 1497 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,240 Speaker 1: head coach? Uh? He was. I don't know, he's a 1498 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:25,840 Speaker 1: head coach anywhere. He was with the Giants obviously. Um, 1499 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 1: he was the coach last year in Carolina after Ron 1500 01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:31,600 Speaker 1: Rivera got fired. So the head Yeah, he was the 1501 01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 1: interim head coach at Carolina this last year. I got you, 1502 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,120 Speaker 1: all right, there we go, wasn't I was thinking Denver 1503 01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 1: or someplace I knew i'd seen him and I could 1504 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,800 Speaker 1: remember where. So there you go. Perry Fuel. He's with 1505 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 1: the league now and gonna work with the league and 1506 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 1: help out in Um, I would think officiating reviews. That's 1507 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,200 Speaker 1: that's a good hire for the NFL. I think the 1508 01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,080 Speaker 1: Perry fuel on that job. And and as we all know, 1509 01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 1: they need help there, Steve, they need out.

Draft coming up next week next Thursday. 1514 01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 1: It starts, well, do you want to see Bill's Brandon 1515 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,280 Speaker 1: Being doing this year's NFL draft? Should he try to 1516 01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 1: find a way back into the first round? Eight percent 1517 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,240 Speaker 1: of I respond and say, yeah, let's get in the 1518 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,800 Speaker 1: first round. I don't know. Should he just move up 1519 01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,880 Speaker 1: in the second round? Right there? At fifty four? They 1520 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,840 Speaker 1: could move up to thirty three. On our show the 1521 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:25,920 Speaker 1: other day, Brandon Being talked about what it might take 1522 01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 1: to move up to thirty five ish or should they 1523 01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 1: just stay where they're at. That's where fifty eight percent 1524 01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:32,040 Speaker 1: of I responded, say just stay where you're at, Just 1525 01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 1: be cool. Draft fifty four, What do you think? Give 1526 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 1: us a call? Eight h three h five fifty toll 1527 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 1: free from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty 1528 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,879 Speaker 1: two five fifty lines wide open as we speak. I'm 1529 01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,680 Speaker 1: gonna go to be here, Steve. I'm picking let's move 1530 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 1: up in the first in the second round. I have 1531 01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:49,560 Speaker 1: a hunch they're gonna try to do it, and I 1532 01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,720 Speaker 1: think they've probably got maybe two or three players that 1533 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,800 Speaker 1: would get them moving up somewhere. It'll require giving up 1534 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,280 Speaker 1: your second rounder. That it require probably giving up your 1535 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,000 Speaker 1: third rounder and maybe another pick it up to thirty 1536 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:04,400 Speaker 1: five or so, which is what thirty five is, nineteen 1537 01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 1: picks ahead of where the Bills are at. So it'll 1538 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 1: take some draft capital this year. But I think the 1539 01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,960 Speaker 1: Bills have something in mind, just based on what Brandon 1540 01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,400 Speaker 1: Bean has told us. What do you think? I think 1541 01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 1: whether they have something in mind. Yeah, they may want 1542 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:19,000 Speaker 1: to do that if certain things happen up ahead of 1543 01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,360 Speaker 1: those picks, you know, if a guy falls to that spot, 1544 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 1: But I think too, it's an interesting question, and maybe 1545 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,160 Speaker 1: we've got a Twitter poll for this coming week right 1546 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:33,400 Speaker 1: before the draft. If you can get a quality starter, 1547 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,280 Speaker 1: do you trade everybody else in the draft to do it? 1548 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,760 Speaker 1: Given where the Bill's current roster is, and that's what 1549 01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:42,439 Speaker 1: you're talking about, it is it going to cost them 1550 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,240 Speaker 1: too much to get up there and leave maybe a 1551 01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:49,000 Speaker 1: chance to get another contributor in the later rounds, leave 1552 01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 1: that on the table, or give it up to go 1553 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:54,480 Speaker 1: up and get a guy you know can actually contribute. 1554 01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,559 Speaker 1: So don't they have a better chance to get an 1555 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:01,360 Speaker 1: a quality starter if they move up in the second round. Yeah, well, 1556 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:05,280 Speaker 1: here's the thing. You know, you got to say no 1557 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,240 Speaker 1: to that because we've seen quality starters come from the 1558 01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,760 Speaker 1: fifth round. You know, that's where Matt Milano came from. 1559 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 1: You know. So the question is do you trade all 1560 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,600 Speaker 1: those assets to get a guy you think, you know 1561 01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,800 Speaker 1: you may have a better idea of is gonna be 1562 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: Or do you know more about or that you've had 1563 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,320 Speaker 1: a chance to work out or that you've had a 1564 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 1: chance to have a FaceTime interview with, or do you 1565 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 1: know more information about a guy that you're more sure 1566 01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,479 Speaker 1: of than a guy in the fifth round who may 1567 01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,479 Speaker 1: be better but you just don't know. If he's in 1568 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,640 Speaker 1: the fifth round, he's not better. But you say that, 1569 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:40,640 Speaker 1: I say right now, if you're going to be in 1570 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,599 Speaker 1: the fifth round, you're not better than a second rounder. 1571 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:46,880 Speaker 1: And ye, Tom Brady, Tom Brady is not. But that's 1572 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,840 Speaker 1: just what we're talking about. That's exactly what you're talking about. 1573 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: That's what you're that's what you're giving up a chance 1574 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,479 Speaker 1: to hit big on a guy in later rounds without 1575 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,160 Speaker 1: moving or taking a chance or moving, you know what 1576 01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean. It is a smaller chance chance to hit sack. 1577 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,599 Speaker 1: It's a huge chances for sim a chance they hit pick. 1578 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:07,080 Speaker 1: Cody Ford was a thirty eighth pick overall. Don't you 1579 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:08,880 Speaker 1: think when the Bills moved up to get him last 1580 01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 1: year they had a feeling this guy's probably a starter, right, 1581 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,920 Speaker 1: that's just sick. It's a buch greater chance, no question, 1582 01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 1: But is it worth giving up, like, well, let's face him, 1583 01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 1: you're giving up three other chances, and some of them 1584 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 1: not that much worse than your chance that you're taking 1585 01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:26,120 Speaker 1: on this, like a fifty four. The difference between a 1586 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:30,400 Speaker 1: fifty four and a thirty and a fifty four and 1587 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,360 Speaker 1: eighty six and a one twenty two, you know what 1588 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Those you're giving up all those chances for 1589 01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 1: one guy you think you know more about. And that's 1590 01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:40,640 Speaker 1: the that's a real question, right, And yeah, but I 1591 01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,080 Speaker 1: think you got to have confidence and that we believe 1592 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,920 Speaker 1: this guy fits us, and we believe he's gonna be 1593 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,280 Speaker 1: a good player, and we're not gonna get him at 1594 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,680 Speaker 1: fifty four. We might get him at thirty five, we're 1595 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,360 Speaker 1: not gonna get him at fifty four. I think that's 1596 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,720 Speaker 1: the kind of calculation that goes into it. That's right. 1597 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,360 Speaker 1: And but here's the thing too. The same guy that says, hey, 1598 01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,439 Speaker 1: I know I have a real feeling about this guy 1599 01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:06,640 Speaker 1: at fifty four or forty, let's say forty, is the 1600 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:08,960 Speaker 1: same guy at fifty four saying, you know what, this 1601 01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:10,760 Speaker 1: is the guy that gives us the best chance. You know, 1602 01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,360 Speaker 1: it's the same guy picking all of those picks. So 1603 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:15,960 Speaker 1: but the farther down you go, the less of a 1604 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,120 Speaker 1: chance you have, right, I think that's what I think. 1605 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 1: That's the real question. Then it becomes what I see 1606 01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,080 Speaker 1: left on the board after this chant, after this fortieth pick, 1607 01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:27,000 Speaker 1: that we're going to trade up for what I see 1608 01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: left in this draft. I'm taking the guy at forty. 1609 01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 1: Nobody else, And you know what I'm saying, nobody else 1610 01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:34,479 Speaker 1: in this draft all the way back to whatever the 1611 01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,400 Speaker 1: pick four or the bills. Let's just let's just run 1612 01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 1: back and see the pick would be. I think this 1613 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 1: number forty in the pick in the draft is worth 1614 01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:47,160 Speaker 1: more than anybody between this fortieth pick and our next 1615 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:50,680 Speaker 1: pick at one sixty seven. That's what you're telling me, 1616 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,360 Speaker 1: what seven and you could and I you know you 1617 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:56,400 Speaker 1: could convince yourself easily of that, right, Yeah, especially when 1618 01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 1: you got a team, as we've pointed out several times, 1619 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 1: doesn't need any start. You're not you know, you have 1620 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 1: room for one sixty seven, this fifth round. You have 1621 01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,880 Speaker 1: room for a fifth or six or seventh round or 1622 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,000 Speaker 1: to make your roster and help you out. I don't 1623 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 1: know if you get if you move up in the 1624 01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:13,640 Speaker 1: second round, you might get a guy who helps you 1625 01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,760 Speaker 1: out this year this year. Right, And that's the thing too, 1626 01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:20,479 Speaker 1: that you're giving up in the draft what we've been saying, 1627 01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,759 Speaker 1: And it's another way to look at it. Nobody between 1628 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,479 Speaker 1: forty and one sixty seven of this draft is better 1629 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:33,800 Speaker 1: than Levi Wallace, right, or the weakest link on your starters. Right. 1630 01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 1: I'm just saying Levi. I don't think he may not 1631 01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,040 Speaker 1: be the weakest link on your starters. But you know 1632 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, there's nobody in the draft board between 1633 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 1: number forty and number one sixty seven, our pick that 1634 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:46,200 Speaker 1: will have a chance to beat out any of the 1635 01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:48,800 Speaker 1: twenty two guys or maybe the twenty five guys, given 1636 01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:52,720 Speaker 1: situational substitutions, He's not going to crack our top twenty five. 1637 01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,840 Speaker 1: And that's that's basically what you're saying. And that's that's 1638 01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:59,080 Speaker 1: I could you can get behind that. You know, a 1639 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,519 Speaker 1: guy at forty, Yeah, he might be better than this 1640 01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,760 Speaker 1: guy or that guy on our top twenty five, but 1641 01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 1: nobody else will be. Let's get to the tweet sheet. 1642 01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,120 Speaker 1: What do you want the Bills and GM Brandon being 1643 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:10,920 Speaker 1: to do in this year draft? The tweet sheet brought 1644 01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,560 Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of 1645 01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Brian says, he goes b He says, 1646 01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm in favor of sliding up the board for a 1647 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:23,040 Speaker 1: guy that being covets joining the roster, continuing to fill 1648 01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:24,840 Speaker 1: the locker room with the right guys. That happens to 1649 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 1: aligne with a positional upgrade, not crazy, but a two 1650 01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:33,080 Speaker 1: to fourteen from fifty four up to forty spot side 1651 01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,599 Speaker 1: for a target that's falling. Yeah, that's what you're looking for. Look, 1652 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:40,240 Speaker 1: they'll do this calculation Thursday night, next week Friday morning 1653 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 1: until the draft starts seven o'clock Friday night. They'll sit 1654 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:44,920 Speaker 1: there and say, I'm sure that the conversation will be 1655 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,200 Speaker 1: something like this Brandon being and his scouts on the phone, 1656 01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:49,479 Speaker 1: or however they're going to meet. Hey, we have many 1657 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,439 Speaker 1: of our really players that we're interested are still left 1658 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 1: now going into round two, and there might be two 1659 01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 1: or maybe three. What will it take to move up 1660 01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,160 Speaker 1: to get this guy? And they'll talk about who might 1661 01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,320 Speaker 1: who else take him in the league? Does he belong 1662 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:04,519 Speaker 1: in the top thirty five or top forty picks of 1663 01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,720 Speaker 1: the draft, And again, like you said, they have to 1664 01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 1: weigh giving up some of those other round those other 1665 01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,719 Speaker 1: round picks, you know, a third rounder eighty six overall, 1666 01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,080 Speaker 1: a fourth rounder one twenty eight. Shoot, you can throw 1667 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 1: in any of the fifth six, the two six, or 1668 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,519 Speaker 1: the seventh rounder. I'm all right with that. Yeah, that'll 1669 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,880 Speaker 1: go on next week. I believe that that's right. And also, 1670 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:26,800 Speaker 1: you know who, quite frankly, what position are you looking 1671 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,920 Speaker 1: at and how far did that guy fall? If you're 1672 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,479 Speaker 1: looking at edge rusher and one of the top three 1673 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:37,240 Speaker 1: edge rushers on your draft board falls to forty two, Yeah, 1674 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:42,080 Speaker 1: you know you're thinking, what that's different than if you know, 1675 01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 1: say a running back falls that far, or a safety 1676 01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:50,000 Speaker 1: falls that far. You know what I'm saying. Bills are 1677 01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 1: set at safety, They're set at wide receiver as far 1678 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,559 Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, even in this wide receiver rich draft, 1679 01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:58,519 Speaker 1: I'm you know what I mean. So that makes a difference. 1680 01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 1: If it's an offensive lineman or one of the top 1681 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:04,760 Speaker 1: two or three tackles in this draft falls down that far, 1682 01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:07,960 Speaker 1: you got to think about it, right I'd think about 1683 01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:11,559 Speaker 1: it right out. We got brand out the line from Rochester. Hello, Brad, 1684 01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Hey guys. M My 1685 01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,639 Speaker 1: simple thought is, since Kansas City has only five picks 1686 01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:21,880 Speaker 1: in this draft, why don't we move back into the 1687 01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:25,599 Speaker 1: third round, tradeback to the fourth and the fifth, well 1688 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,439 Speaker 1: back in the third round like we did last year 1689 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:31,599 Speaker 1: and got Dawson knocks. Kansas City is there. It would 1690 01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:34,519 Speaker 1: cost us a little bit of capital, but we have 1691 01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 1: a solid second and two third rounders. Be fantastic. Yeah, 1692 01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 1: so you've got to move into the third round by 1693 01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:42,760 Speaker 1: giving up. I don't know, I haven't looked at the 1694 01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:44,479 Speaker 1: chart what it would take to get into the third 1695 01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:48,560 Speaker 1: round and the next year's fifth round, which you know 1696 01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 1: you know, unless you're the Buffalo, Bills don't usually pan out. 1697 01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 1: So what don't pan out? Fifth rounders? Don't pan out? 1698 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,680 Speaker 1: Milano fifth rounder, he's a start unless they're Matino. So 1699 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,080 Speaker 1: but that being three fourth and a fifth move back 1700 01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:10,439 Speaker 1: into we did last year, got off and knocked did 1701 01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,560 Speaker 1: So what you're what you're saying is I guess what 1702 01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 1: you're saying, Brad, is this. You look at the draft 1703 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,200 Speaker 1: board and you're looking at say, teams like uh, like 1704 01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:28,800 Speaker 1: the Saints, the Chiefs, uh, let's see, or the Falcons, 1705 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Teams with like less than with like a 1706 01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:35,639 Speaker 1: half a dozen picks that are that are really they're 1707 01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 1: really hurting, Like the Cardinals they have six picks. You know, 1708 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,519 Speaker 1: you're finding one of those teams who want to gain 1709 01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 1: more picks. Trade down, lose a couple of picks, but 1710 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:46,800 Speaker 1: get a pick that you like at a thing, and 1711 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:48,920 Speaker 1: you're just picking your targets. Right. Get one of those 1712 01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,960 Speaker 1: teams that has fewer picks than we do and say, hey, 1713 01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:53,519 Speaker 1: do you want to pick up a couple extra picks 1714 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:56,280 Speaker 1: if you want to help us out? And that's your strategy, right? 1715 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 1: And also their cap strip too, I know their cap strap. 1716 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 1: I know Pittsburgh is too, so I'm getting more picks 1717 01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,800 Speaker 1: would probably help them out a little bit too. Win win. Yeah, 1718 01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:08,960 Speaker 1: it's good and I think that's homework that has to 1719 01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,360 Speaker 1: be done by Brandon being and these guys before they go, 1720 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, they and even a quick call like this 1721 01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,599 Speaker 1: early this next week, before the draft even begins. And Murph, 1722 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:20,960 Speaker 1: you can you can, you can see the logic of this. 1723 01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,640 Speaker 1: You pick those teams that are right for wanting more 1724 01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:27,839 Speaker 1: draft picks than they have or that have cap problems, 1725 01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,479 Speaker 1: and you target them and how you can manipulate that 1726 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:33,479 Speaker 1: against them or at least in your benefit, either to 1727 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,559 Speaker 1: move up or to move down, right, And I think 1728 01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:40,200 Speaker 1: that's part of the strategy of setting your board up. Absolutely. Thanks, 1729 01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:42,519 Speaker 1: thanks for your call. We're gonna take a break. We'll 1730 01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:44,360 Speaker 1: get more into this. What do you think of what 1731 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 1: is brand? What would you like to see Brandon Being 1732 01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:48,360 Speaker 1: do next week in the draft? Pretty simple concept. Give 1733 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,200 Speaker 1: us a call. Eight three fifty toll free one eight 1734 01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:54,439 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. It's one Bills 1735 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,519 Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalada Healton. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. 1736 01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,280 Speaker 1: Welcome back. One of those lives presented back a lot 1737 01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 1: of health. John Murphy, Steve Tasker, Hey, we're talking about 1738 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,400 Speaker 1: the draft in our Twitter poll today. What do you 1739 01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,360 Speaker 1: want the Bills and GM Brandon being to do in 1740 01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:14,479 Speaker 1: this year's draft? It's next week. I want to see 1741 01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:16,240 Speaker 1: him move up, maybe even to the first round. You 1742 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,320 Speaker 1: want to move up earlier in the second round. Stay 1743 01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,679 Speaker 1: where they're at. The tweet Chief brought you by Corrigan 1744 01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 1: Moving Systems, Pat says, I think they should move up 1745 01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:27,160 Speaker 1: if they can get a quality player like Claypool. With 1746 01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,519 Speaker 1: them getting all the free agents in need positions, I 1747 01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:31,640 Speaker 1: think they should grab some talent that will help them 1748 01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:34,679 Speaker 1: when they lose people due to injury or contract endings. 1749 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 1: You know, he makes an interesting point about Chase Claypool. Obviously, 1750 01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,400 Speaker 1: see we both like and I know you know, neither 1751 01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 1: John Brown nor Cole Beasley are ancient, but they're both 1752 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 1: thirty or older. And I don't think it's unrealistic to 1753 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,360 Speaker 1: think that the Bills still may want a little bit 1754 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,880 Speaker 1: more youth in their wide receiving corps. Brown and Beasley 1755 01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,080 Speaker 1: both thirty years, they're older. I think that I'm just saying, 1756 01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm just turned it out there. If a guy like Claypool, 1757 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 1: who might be in the second round, might be available 1758 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 1: to him. That's what who Jim Nagy said yesterday. He 1759 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 1: might not go in the first round if he's up 1760 01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 1: there early in the second. I would love that move. 1761 01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:11,719 Speaker 1: I would kind of like it. Yes, they have receivers, 1762 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 1: they have Stephan Diggs, etc. Claypool could be the developmental guy. Yes, 1763 01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 1: he'd be the first fourth receiver on the roster too, 1764 01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,280 Speaker 1: but he would be the developmental guy. My crazy Yeah, 1765 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,280 Speaker 1: you'd have to weigh whether you want to go more 1766 01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:26,320 Speaker 1: on a player that would help you this year or 1767 01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:30,080 Speaker 1: a guy that is a hedge against losing a couple 1768 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,280 Speaker 1: of guys next year, or guys that just won't be 1769 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:38,200 Speaker 1: good enough to make the team again next year. Depends. 1770 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I don't know. I think 1771 01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:45,280 Speaker 1: the pressure is on to get deep in the playoffs 1772 01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,679 Speaker 1: this year, and I think it's gonna be more about 1773 01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:52,760 Speaker 1: giving them a better possibility to win this year than 1774 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 1: to hedge their bet against a guy getting too old 1775 01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 1: next year. You know what I mean. Cole Beasley and 1776 01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:03,280 Speaker 1: John Brown are going anywhere, and they're not going anywhere 1777 01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:06,280 Speaker 1: this year this season anyway. So I don't know that 1778 01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,160 Speaker 1: they would throw a draft pick or trade up to 1779 01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:13,080 Speaker 1: get a draft pick that maybe a hedge against them 1780 01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:17,599 Speaker 1: being a little too old next year. Certainly it lines 1781 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 1: you up to have a kid who's been in the 1782 01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:21,680 Speaker 1: system for a year then before next year when he 1783 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,240 Speaker 1: comes in and evolves into a starter ahead of one 1784 01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,080 Speaker 1: of those guys or you know, or both of them, 1785 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 1: aside from you know, opposite Digs in his second year 1786 01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:35,800 Speaker 1: of his deal here in Buffalo. But I don't know 1787 01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:38,360 Speaker 1: that that's worth giving up a guy who you think 1788 01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 1: may be a difference maker at some point this season 1789 01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,080 Speaker 1: when you the pressure's really on to take a step forward. 1790 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:46,800 Speaker 1: Where's that pressure coming from, Like you lose your jobs 1791 01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:48,479 Speaker 1: if they don't go deep in the playoffs. That pressure 1792 01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,160 Speaker 1: doesn't exist, you know. I think I think the pressure 1793 01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:53,120 Speaker 1: is there that this is a window you got to exploit, 1794 01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:56,000 Speaker 1: and this is this year when the expectator. You went 1795 01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:59,000 Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year with ten games, you lost 1796 01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:03,240 Speaker 1: in an overtime first round game. You've said publicly as 1797 01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:06,559 Speaker 1: a general manager, and it's kind of agreed that you're 1798 01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:10,360 Speaker 1: more than one player away. When you get bounced in 1799 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:15,920 Speaker 1: the first round, you know you already got you got 1800 01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,680 Speaker 1: Steph Diggs. That's that's one player that's helped you. You've 1801 01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 1: you've refurbished your front seven and you might be looking 1802 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,240 Speaker 1: for a player and maybe you are. Maybe you think 1803 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,240 Speaker 1: another wide receiver is you know that spot? That is 1804 01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:31,439 Speaker 1: another one of the players that you were short this 1805 01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,200 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs. I don't know, but I don't know. 1806 01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,040 Speaker 1: I just think the pressure is on to get a 1807 01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:39,760 Speaker 1: guy that's going to contribute this year, particularly since you've 1808 01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,840 Speaker 1: given up your first round pick already. Um, I don't know. 1809 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,880 Speaker 1: That's it's hard, it's a you know, it's a it's 1810 01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,800 Speaker 1: a debate worth having, I think. Yeah. On the question 1811 01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:49,920 Speaker 1: of age, By the way, John Brown just tuned thirty 1812 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,759 Speaker 1: years old two weeks ago. Cole Beasley will be thirty 1813 01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:55,960 Speaker 1: one years old in a couple of weeks April twenty six. 1814 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,800 Speaker 1: So they're not ancient and they're not old. They probably 1815 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:00,679 Speaker 1: both got some good years left. But they are thirty 1816 01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:04,200 Speaker 1: years old and Stefan Digs at twenty six, is the 1817 01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 1: younger man of that group right now, at least the 1818 01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,800 Speaker 1: top group. All right, Steve, you've been thinking about cornerbacks, right. 1819 01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:11,920 Speaker 1: You're asking Maddy a lot about corners, right, yeah, and 1820 01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:16,479 Speaker 1: we'll see what We'll see what Greg Cosell thinks about cornerbacks. 1821 01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:17,880 Speaker 1: He's coming up on the show here. We'll talk to 1822 01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:20,479 Speaker 1: him about some of the top cornerbacks available in next 1823 01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,040 Speaker 1: week's draft. So that's coming up when we return after 1824 01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,800 Speaker 1: the break. Come on back, Greg co Sell from NFL 1825 01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:29,240 Speaker 1: matchup on ESPN.

John Murphy's team Tasker 1829 01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:47,120 Speaker 1: getting set for our number three on the update. The 1830 01:32:47,240 --> 01:32:49,920 Speaker 1: NFL still plans to release its schedule by May ninth, 1831 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,200 Speaker 1: based on a full season, according to ESPN. Adjustments will 1832 01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:56,280 Speaker 1: be made as and if necessary, according to sources, but 1833 01:32:56,360 --> 01:33:00,439 Speaker 1: the NFL is planning to play. NFL team and the 1834 01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,080 Speaker 1: union reached agreement earlier this week on the tales of 1835 01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:06,080 Speaker 1: a virtual offseason for teams and players. Teams with new 1836 01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 1: coaches and start contacting players Monday. Teams with returning coaches 1837 01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 1: start their programs a little bit later. The offseason program 1838 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:17,200 Speaker 1: remains voluntary for players all Pro safety Tomorrow. Adams of 1839 01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:20,759 Speaker 1: the Jets not expected to participate in the NFL's voluntary 1840 01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:24,599 Speaker 1: offseason virtual program. The Jets have not expressed any official 1841 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:28,320 Speaker 1: interest in extending adams contract thus far. The offseason, the 1842 01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:31,040 Speaker 1: NFL and the players union have agreed to that virtual 1843 01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 1: offseason conditioning Adams. However, it looks like the Jets are 1844 01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,280 Speaker 1: going to let him go after this coming year. He's 1845 01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:39,760 Speaker 1: scheduled to make three and a half million dollars this year, 1846 01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:43,320 Speaker 1: a final year before year contract that has averaged five 1847 01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:46,880 Speaker 1: point six million dollars annually. The eighty fifth National Football 1848 01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,320 Speaker 1: League Players Selection Meeting, the draft, now six days away, 1849 01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:53,080 Speaker 1: starts next Thursday at eight pm.

The night before the league stopped 1854 01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:08,800 Speaker 1: visits between college prospects and NFL teams, the Dolphins tried 1855 01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:12,080 Speaker 1: to get to a Tagovailoa to Miami. According to league sources, 1856 01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 1: they were unable to do unable to do a medical 1857 01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:17,560 Speaker 1: check ontoa and so that puts his status as the 1858 01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:20,760 Speaker 1: Dolphins like the first round pick in question. Bronco's Pro 1859 01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 1: Bowl linebacker Von Miller has tested positive for coronavirus, unanimous 1860 01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:29,519 Speaker 1: choice for the NFL All Decade Team. Said assistant persuaded 1861 01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:31,400 Speaker 1: him to go to what doctor. He says, he feels fine, 1862 01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 1: but he is positive for coronavirus. And that is the 1863 01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:38,400 Speaker 1: update from One Bill's Lot. John Murphy's Steam Tasker now 1864 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:41,280 Speaker 1: into our number three final hour of the week. Happy 1865 01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:43,200 Speaker 1: to have on the line with us. The executive producer 1866 01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:47,120 Speaker 1: analysts of NFL Matchup on ESPN. Senior producer at NFL Films, 1867 01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,640 Speaker 1: Greg co Sell joins us. Hello, Greg, how are you 1868 01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:53,160 Speaker 1: doing today? Murf? How are you my friend? Good? Steve 1869 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:56,280 Speaker 1: Taskers here as well. Steve wants salo. Thanks for coming on, Greg, 1870 01:34:56,320 --> 01:35:01,040 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Staying busy and everybody doing well. Yeah, everybody's good. 1871 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:03,840 Speaker 1: Are you having any trouble watching film at your house? 1872 01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:07,599 Speaker 1: Big time trouble. So yeah. Fortunately I made it through 1873 01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:10,680 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of guys, but not as many as 1874 01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:14,240 Speaker 1: I normally do, which you know, kind of bothers me. 1875 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,200 Speaker 1: But in the overall scheme of things, I guess it's 1876 01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:20,560 Speaker 1: not really that important. Our producer here, Jay Harris, and 1877 01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:23,479 Speaker 1: I were talking earlier today, Greg about how this year 1878 01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 1: you might be I don't know, not that far off 1879 01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,240 Speaker 1: from what teams are doing themselves. I mean, they're kind 1880 01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:31,479 Speaker 1: of relying on video that they're trying to have their 1881 01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:34,120 Speaker 1: thirty visits, trying to you know, there's no pro days 1882 01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:35,880 Speaker 1: to look at, trying to have thirty visits with some 1883 01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,519 Speaker 1: of their prospects. But they're relying heavily on the video 1884 01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:40,439 Speaker 1: as well, just as you do every year. Maybe your 1885 01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:42,920 Speaker 1: your conclusions would be a little bit closer than they 1886 01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,880 Speaker 1: normally are. What do you think you know that I 1887 01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:49,200 Speaker 1: can't answer. Look, I think that you always like to 1888 01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:50,920 Speaker 1: get a feel for a player, and you'd like to 1889 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:54,240 Speaker 1: sit down and speak with them. You know, I don't 1890 01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:56,280 Speaker 1: work for a team, so I certainly don't want to 1891 01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:58,200 Speaker 1: act like I know more than guys who do this. 1892 01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,200 Speaker 1: But I think some times, when you watch guys at 1893 01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:05,799 Speaker 1: pro days or at workouts, you can probably be swayed 1894 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:09,759 Speaker 1: one way or another from something other than the tape. 1895 01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,080 Speaker 1: And I've always just believed, but again, this is what 1896 01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:15,160 Speaker 1: I do. I've always believed that as a football player, 1897 01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:18,160 Speaker 1: the tape should tell you that the other things I 1898 01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:22,240 Speaker 1: think should be secondary to the tape if there's an extreme, 1899 01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:23,960 Speaker 1: like let's say you see a guy on tape and 1900 01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:27,000 Speaker 1: he looks really fast on tape as a linebacker, but 1901 01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:29,280 Speaker 1: then he runs a four nine to five. Then you say, oh, 1902 01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:33,000 Speaker 1: maybe I missed something. But I feel like the tape 1903 01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:35,360 Speaker 1: tells you what a player is as a football player, 1904 01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:37,639 Speaker 1: and that should really be your starting point when you're 1905 01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:41,800 Speaker 1: evaluating the player. I wonder how much herd mentality goes 1906 01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:44,840 Speaker 1: into a two greg. I read somebody suggested this that 1907 01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:47,920 Speaker 1: without the typical you know, scouts standing around and a 1908 01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,599 Speaker 1: player's work out and exchanging and some of their ideas 1909 01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:53,640 Speaker 1: and observations, maybe there'd be more individual thought when it 1910 01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:56,479 Speaker 1: comes to the draft picks. Do you think that's possible. 1911 01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:00,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, look, we know that different 1912 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:02,920 Speaker 1: teams do different things and the way they go about it. 1913 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:06,800 Speaker 1: I think overall, it's a good thing to have more 1914 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 1: information as opposed to less information. Than it comes down 1915 01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:12,080 Speaker 1: to what you do with that information. Uh, you know, 1916 01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:17,920 Speaker 1: That's why analytics is something that's fascinating and it's it 1917 01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,320 Speaker 1: depends how you use it. I guess it's just more 1918 01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:24,759 Speaker 1: information and you and you want to have that information. 1919 01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:27,240 Speaker 1: But I think then you have to determine, you know, 1920 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:30,880 Speaker 1: what that means in the context of evaluation. How do 1921 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 1: you think this is in your gut? You know, as 1922 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:35,200 Speaker 1: any we can all kind of project ourselves as a 1923 01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:38,679 Speaker 1: general manager. But we also know too that smart general 1924 01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:40,760 Speaker 1: managers listen to a lot of people. They listen to 1925 01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,400 Speaker 1: their scouts. They hire those scouts for a reason, They 1926 01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:46,720 Speaker 1: talk to these guys for a reason. How do you 1927 01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:49,920 Speaker 1: think this is ultimately going to affect the dynamics of 1928 01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:53,720 Speaker 1: the draft room and the general managers and their conversations 1929 01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:56,280 Speaker 1: and who they listen to and why they listen to them. 1930 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,519 Speaker 1: I think that'll be teams specifics to you. You know what, 1931 01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,040 Speaker 1: what I'm going to find interesting about this draft because 1932 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:07,000 Speaker 1: obviously teams have to align more on tape study than 1933 01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:10,040 Speaker 1: anything else in this particular draft. For the teams that 1934 01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:12,840 Speaker 1: do really, really well, let's say, and pick players that 1935 01:38:13,040 --> 01:38:16,320 Speaker 1: end up being good players and contributors to their team, 1936 01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:18,320 Speaker 1: I wonder if they'll look at a lot of the 1937 01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:22,240 Speaker 1: other ancillary things that are done as not as important. 1938 01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:24,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, because at the end of 1939 01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:27,479 Speaker 1: the day, you're drafting a player to play football. Now, 1940 01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:29,679 Speaker 1: obviously you don't want to draft bad people or people 1941 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:31,800 Speaker 1: that that don't have great work ethics, or you know, 1942 01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:34,439 Speaker 1: all those other things that we tend to look at. 1943 01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,479 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you're drafting a 1944 01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:39,880 Speaker 1: football player, and how he plays football is probably the 1945 01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:42,479 Speaker 1: number one thing you should be looking at. So you 1946 01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:45,240 Speaker 1: say that that it's team specific as to what you 1947 01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:48,720 Speaker 1: know how these teams will handle the difference we're going 1948 01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:51,080 Speaker 1: to see in this year's draft in the lack of 1949 01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:54,160 Speaker 1: evaluation or the difference in ways of evaluating that they 1950 01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:57,200 Speaker 1: have to go through this year. So my question is, 1951 01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:00,599 Speaker 1: do you think there's an edge to be gained by 1952 01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:03,640 Speaker 1: one team or another because of their ability to do 1953 01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:08,920 Speaker 1: it better? And there will be. I mean, I would think, look, 1954 01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:11,840 Speaker 1: one thing that's evolved over time, and I certainly don't 1955 01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:14,000 Speaker 1: know all the bills scouts, and I don't know the 1956 01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:16,760 Speaker 1: scouting departments of every team, but I do know there 1957 01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 1: has been a trend for some teams over these last 1958 01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:21,560 Speaker 1: number of years for scouts to be much more of 1959 01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:25,480 Speaker 1: information gatherers as opposed to be as opposed to being evaluators, 1960 01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:28,240 Speaker 1: and a lot of teams hire younger guys. Of course 1961 01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:31,920 Speaker 1: they pay them less and they are information gatherers, and 1962 01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:36,439 Speaker 1: then they bring that information to the decision makers. You 1963 01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:40,519 Speaker 1: wonder if the teams that have a more experienced scouting staff, 1964 01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:42,720 Speaker 1: guys who have done it for a longer period of 1965 01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:46,040 Speaker 1: time and have a much better feel for evaluation of 1966 01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:49,720 Speaker 1: let's say, game tape, if those teams might do better. 1967 01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:52,080 Speaker 1: But I guess we won't know that till this plays out, 1968 01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:54,080 Speaker 1: and you might not even know it after a year, 1969 01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:57,200 Speaker 1: because very often players who get drafted end up they 1970 01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:59,000 Speaker 1: could end up being very good players, but it might 1971 01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:02,080 Speaker 1: not happen as rookies. All right, And your observation this 1972 01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,560 Speaker 1: is just one follow up. It's interesting you draw the 1973 01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:08,879 Speaker 1: line that I'd never really thought about an information gatherer 1974 01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:13,960 Speaker 1: as opposed to a talent evaluator different, do you? Yeah, 1975 01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,400 Speaker 1: there is, there's a big You're right, there's a big difference. 1976 01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:19,880 Speaker 1: Have you noticed teams that do it one way being 1977 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,640 Speaker 1: more successful than the other. Well, that's the thing I 1978 01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:26,040 Speaker 1: don't know, you know, teams scouting staffs, you know, So 1979 01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:30,160 Speaker 1: it's tough for me to answer that. You know, so, 1980 01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:32,559 Speaker 1: so I really that's a tough thing for me to answer, 1981 01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:35,080 Speaker 1: But I you know, I do know that that there 1982 01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,800 Speaker 1: are a lot of younger scouts. I'll never forget. And 1983 01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, I was fortunate enough to know Bill Walsh 1984 01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,280 Speaker 1: pretty well. And one thing I remember him always telling 1985 01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:46,719 Speaker 1: me was that when it came to seeing scouting reports, 1986 01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,479 Speaker 1: he would always look to see who made the scouting 1987 01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,679 Speaker 1: report because and I remember him telling me the story 1988 01:40:52,760 --> 01:40:54,560 Speaker 1: like it was yesterday. If it was an evaluation of 1989 01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:57,400 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and let's say the scouting report came from 1990 01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,799 Speaker 1: a twenty five year old scout who played defensive tackle 1991 01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:03,320 Speaker 1: in college, he might look at that scouting report a 1992 01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:06,000 Speaker 1: lot differently than if it was from a veteran scout 1993 01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:08,120 Speaker 1: who was, you know, maybe a quarterback guy or an 1994 01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:12,360 Speaker 1: offensive guy. So it depends on who's doing the evaluation 1995 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:17,360 Speaker 1: Live but Greg Cosal, executive producer, analyst, NFL Matchup, Senior producer, 1996 01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,439 Speaker 1: NFL Films. Hey, Greg, the Bills are regarded as a 1997 01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:23,000 Speaker 1: team that's pretty good on defense and maybe really good 1998 01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:26,160 Speaker 1: in the defensive backfield. And yet would this be a 1999 01:41:26,240 --> 01:41:28,880 Speaker 1: decent draft to draft somebody on the back end of 2000 01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:31,519 Speaker 1: the defense, especially you know, knowing that the Bills go 2001 01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:33,880 Speaker 1: with their first pick at fifty four, they're going to 2002 01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:36,600 Speaker 1: be enough prospects to maybe get a decent player at 2003 01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:39,680 Speaker 1: fifty four there for the defensive backfield, I think it's 2004 01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:41,760 Speaker 1: a pretty good corner draft, you know, And again, now 2005 01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,920 Speaker 1: evaluation depends on your evaluation of the players, But I 2006 01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:47,920 Speaker 1: think as far as corners, it's a pretty good corner draft. 2007 01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:50,320 Speaker 1: And I remember we talked about this a few weeks ago. 2008 01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,599 Speaker 1: We know that Tredavious White's going to play one corner. 2009 01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,400 Speaker 1: I guess there could be some uncertainty at this point 2010 01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:58,719 Speaker 1: as to the other corner, particularly with no offseason bringing 2011 01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:02,000 Speaker 1: in Josh Norman. Leave Wallace played there last year, but 2012 01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:05,280 Speaker 1: other players have also played there, so they could look 2013 01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:08,599 Speaker 1: at the corner opposite to Davious White as a potential 2014 01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,680 Speaker 1: position of need, maybe bring in more competition. Certainly at 2015 01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:14,439 Speaker 1: this point, Josh Norman is a total unknown. He's a 2016 01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:17,040 Speaker 1: competition guy at this point in his career. He's not 2017 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:20,640 Speaker 1: an automatic starter. So they could be looking at the 2018 01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 1: corner position opposite to Davious White, and I think this 2019 01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,679 Speaker 1: is a pretty good draft. But just like wide receivers, 2020 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,559 Speaker 1: corners come in all shapes and sizes and skill sets, 2021 01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:32,200 Speaker 1: and then it's what you like for how you play 2022 01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:35,360 Speaker 1: your defense. Well, let's start with that. I mean you 2023 01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:39,280 Speaker 1: got you mentioned that Josh Norman, Levi Wallace, EJ. Gaines, 2024 01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,479 Speaker 1: and they got Tarren Johnson for the Bills. Can you 2025 01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:43,960 Speaker 1: value Let's get to where we start from as a 2026 01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:46,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills organization, and then we'll go down through the 2027 01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:53,040 Speaker 1: list of prospects, go through Josh Norman, Levi Wallace, EJ. Gains, 2028 01:42:53,040 --> 01:42:55,479 Speaker 1: tarn Johnson. Where do they stand as a level of 2029 01:42:55,600 --> 01:42:58,880 Speaker 1: defensive backs around the National Football League And as far 2030 01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:01,880 Speaker 1: as needing enough right or not needing an upgrade, Well, 2031 01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:04,240 Speaker 1: Johnson's been the slot corner. I would think they would 2032 01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:06,200 Speaker 1: view him that way. I don't think they would view 2033 01:43:06,280 --> 01:43:08,160 Speaker 1: him as an outside corner at this point. I think 2034 01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:12,360 Speaker 1: he's a slot corner. That's where he's played on the outside. 2035 01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:15,559 Speaker 1: You know, I think Norman has struggled the last couple 2036 01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,840 Speaker 1: of years. I don't think he's a particularly good man 2037 01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:22,920 Speaker 1: to man corner. More teams play zone, excuse me, play 2038 01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 1: man these days, including the Bills. You know they play zone. 2039 01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:28,479 Speaker 1: But you have to be able to line up and 2040 01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:30,720 Speaker 1: play man to man in this league, the way the 2041 01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:35,000 Speaker 1: offenses are evolving. I kind of like Levi Wallace, but 2042 01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:37,600 Speaker 1: you certainly couldn't make the argument that you want to 2043 01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:40,960 Speaker 1: upgrade that just simply because of his his size. He's 2044 01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:44,280 Speaker 1: he's very slim, so if you're looking for a little 2045 01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:47,240 Speaker 1: more girth there, you know, you might feel like, hey, 2046 01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:51,280 Speaker 1: we need an upgrade there. But but I so I 2047 01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,720 Speaker 1: think that the corner opposite White, as I said, is 2048 01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:58,519 Speaker 1: probably what they would be looking at. Gregs our guest, 2049 01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:01,800 Speaker 1: ESPN NFL matchup. Hey, Greg, let's talk about some of 2050 01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:05,599 Speaker 1: the prospects involved in this year's draft and cornerbacks. Who 2051 01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:07,840 Speaker 1: is the best corner I thought it was pretty consensuous 2052 01:44:07,920 --> 01:44:11,120 Speaker 1: opinion that Jeffrey Okudo of Ohio State was the number one, 2053 01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:13,400 Speaker 1: But more and more I'm reading about C. J. Henderson 2054 01:44:13,439 --> 01:44:16,120 Speaker 1: of Florida is maybe ahead of him. As far as 2055 01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:17,639 Speaker 1: the draft. What do you think is one of those 2056 01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:19,320 Speaker 1: better than the other? Yeah, I've seen that too, and 2057 01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:21,240 Speaker 1: of course we don't know that, and every team's different. 2058 01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:25,200 Speaker 1: I think Okuda and Henderson have similar traits and skill sets. 2059 01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:28,160 Speaker 1: I like o'cudo a little more, but I could certainly 2060 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,120 Speaker 1: see the argument for Henderson. They both can line up 2061 01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:33,640 Speaker 1: and play man coverage, and there's two forms of man 2062 01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:38,439 Speaker 1: coverage there. As Steve knows, there's press there's physical press man, 2063 01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:41,439 Speaker 1: where you try to disrupt the receiver off the line 2064 01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:44,559 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and then there's mirror match press man, where 2065 01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:48,280 Speaker 1: you basically play with patients. You let the receiver declare 2066 01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:50,719 Speaker 1: his route and you pretty much get in his hip pocket. 2067 01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:55,280 Speaker 1: And I thought o'cuda played that exceptionally well at times 2068 01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:56,880 Speaker 1: he'd believe it or not. He kind of reminded me 2069 01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,439 Speaker 1: of Champ Bailey the way he played mirror match man. 2070 01:45:00,840 --> 01:45:04,000 Speaker 1: But they both can do that, they both can play zone. 2071 01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:08,080 Speaker 1: They're both long, they're around six one, which is what 2072 01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:10,240 Speaker 1: a lot of teams are looking for now, more length 2073 01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:14,000 Speaker 1: at the corner position. So I think their traits are similar. 2074 01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:16,000 Speaker 1: And then it depends on which one you like more. 2075 01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:19,920 Speaker 1: And I think that they're they're similar. What would account 2076 01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,400 Speaker 1: for a guy like Henderson kind of rising up in 2077 01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:26,000 Speaker 1: people's opinion this late in the process. What do you think, Well, 2078 01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny you say that and we don't 2079 01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,960 Speaker 1: know that because you know, I always struggle with this 2080 01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:35,559 Speaker 1: because right now, first of all, it's there's no other sports, 2081 01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,200 Speaker 1: so there's there's even more nitpicking and talking about the 2082 01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:42,280 Speaker 1: NFL draft, and when there's people on social media and 2083 01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:45,160 Speaker 1: granted I'm there as well, but when they change. You know, 2084 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:50,040 Speaker 1: when someone says, well, Henderson's moving up, what does that mean? 2085 01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:51,640 Speaker 1: Does that mean he just got off the phone with 2086 01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:53,639 Speaker 1: a you know, a guy he knows at a team 2087 01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:55,360 Speaker 1: who says I like Henderson. You know, I don't know 2088 01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:57,840 Speaker 1: what that means, Murph. And I'm not trying to be sarcastic. 2089 01:45:58,160 --> 01:46:00,599 Speaker 1: I just don't know what those kinds of things mean. Yeah, 2090 01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,439 Speaker 1: I know, I sit and I evaluate the players. And 2091 01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, whether I evaluate a guy's tape back before 2092 01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:10,479 Speaker 1: the combine or two weeks ago to meet, the tape 2093 01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,559 Speaker 1: is the tape. I'm not going to change my view 2094 01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:15,639 Speaker 1: of what the player is. And because I don't necessarily 2095 01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:18,479 Speaker 1: do mock drafts or guest drafts as I call them, 2096 01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly you know what that means when 2097 01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:25,439 Speaker 1: people say a guy's moving up. Yeah, it's interesting because 2098 01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:27,639 Speaker 1: we had a guy on and I can't remember exactly 2099 01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:31,040 Speaker 1: who was where who had Jeff Gladney being mocked to 2100 01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:34,720 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and I guess out of TCU, and 2101 01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:38,040 Speaker 1: which means Jeff Gladney has no chance of being drafted 2102 01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:40,120 Speaker 1: by the Buffalo Bills, except I guess we should ask 2103 01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:42,439 Speaker 1: about him. What do you think like Jeff Gladney a lot? 2104 01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:44,559 Speaker 1: And you know it's funny night. Now you get into 2105 01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:47,640 Speaker 1: what you're looking for at corner because Jeff Gladney is 2106 01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,360 Speaker 1: essentially the same size as to Davious White. So the 2107 01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:53,280 Speaker 1: question becomes, do you want two corners at that size. 2108 01:46:53,360 --> 01:46:56,320 Speaker 1: White's a very good players, that's not the point. But 2109 01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:59,400 Speaker 1: then you have two smaller corners in a league in 2110 01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:02,720 Speaker 1: which they were more and more big wide receivers each year, 2111 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:04,880 Speaker 1: and in fact, this is a draft of many big 2112 01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:08,519 Speaker 1: wide receivers. Now, I personally think Gladdeney, who lined up 2113 01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:12,080 Speaker 1: almost exclusively on the outside at TCU, I think he 2114 01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:15,960 Speaker 1: could play in the slot and be a great slot players. 2115 01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:20,240 Speaker 1: His competitiveness and his mental and physical toughness is off 2116 01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:23,200 Speaker 1: the charts. And when you play in the slot and Steve, 2117 01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:26,240 Speaker 1: you know this slot corner is a true position. Now, 2118 01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,439 Speaker 1: you know when you play slot corner, if you're playing man, 2119 01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:31,320 Speaker 1: you're dealing with receivers who have a two way go. 2120 01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,679 Speaker 1: The sideline's not your friend. They have a two way go. Obviously, 2121 01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:36,320 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to play his own. You've 2122 01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:38,000 Speaker 1: got to be a little blitz, and you've got to 2123 01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:40,200 Speaker 1: be able to play the run because a lot of 2124 01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:43,160 Speaker 1: teams line up with three wide receivers in normal down 2125 01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:46,360 Speaker 1: and distance situations, and if they run to the slot side, 2126 01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:48,840 Speaker 1: your slot corner has to line up and play the run. 2127 01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:52,160 Speaker 1: And Gladdeney has those traits. So I'm going to be 2128 01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:55,760 Speaker 1: fascinating to see how the Bills and other teams view 2129 01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:57,680 Speaker 1: Jeff Gladney and I guess we'll find out when he 2130 01:47:57,720 --> 01:48:00,560 Speaker 1: gets drafted. A couple of other corner to ask you 2131 01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:04,519 Speaker 1: about Treyvon Diggs, Stefan Digg's younger brother, pretty highly regarded 2132 01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:06,519 Speaker 1: corner out of Alabama. What do you make of him? Great? 2133 01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,000 Speaker 1: I love treyvon Digs. You know, I've been doing this 2134 01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:11,160 Speaker 1: a long time and I rarely say I love a guy, 2135 01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:14,280 Speaker 1: But I loved watching Treyvon Diggs. I think he's got 2136 01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:18,160 Speaker 1: great traits. He's got size, he's got length, he's got speed, 2137 01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:23,800 Speaker 1: he's got athleticism, he is super physical and competitive. I 2138 01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:27,280 Speaker 1: think he's you know, he's not. He doesn't play the 2139 01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:31,360 Speaker 1: same way Henderson and Okuda do in the sense of 2140 01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,240 Speaker 1: just his movement because he's a bigger man. But I 2141 01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:37,479 Speaker 1: and I don't usually like to rank guys, but I 2142 01:48:37,600 --> 01:48:42,040 Speaker 1: would put him as my number three corner after those 2143 01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:46,280 Speaker 1: two other guys. So I really liked Treyvon Diggs. So 2144 01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:49,200 Speaker 1: let me ask you this given and I don't I know, 2145 01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:51,679 Speaker 1: you don't really get into this very much. We're having 2146 01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,679 Speaker 1: this huge debate as to what if a guy falls 2147 01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:57,400 Speaker 1: in the draft and the Bills get him, can get 2148 01:48:57,520 --> 01:48:59,360 Speaker 1: him in the middle of the second round, like in 2149 01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,720 Speaker 1: the thirty four, thirty five, thirty six pick. Could the 2150 01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:05,960 Speaker 1: Bills jump up and would a guy like Trayvon Diggs, 2151 01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,519 Speaker 1: particularly since they've got his brother on the roster, would 2152 01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:11,680 Speaker 1: that be something that the Bills. You could see a 2153 01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,280 Speaker 1: team like the Bills jumping up into the middle of 2154 01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:15,960 Speaker 1: the second to get a guy. Do you think he's 2155 01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:20,720 Speaker 1: that good? I do? And again I think you know. 2156 01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:22,920 Speaker 1: The other thing is is knowing Sean I think and 2157 01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:25,800 Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier. I think they want their corners to play 2158 01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:29,040 Speaker 1: the run, and he plays the run aggressively and competitively. 2159 01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:31,839 Speaker 1: He's willing to take on blocks and hit and tackle. 2160 01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,559 Speaker 1: You know, I think he can play man and zone. 2161 01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:40,240 Speaker 1: I thought that there were snaps in zone coverage when 2162 01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:42,120 Speaker 1: I watched him, And this is why I enjoy watching 2163 01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:45,280 Speaker 1: full games snaps in zone coverage where he had showed 2164 01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:50,040 Speaker 1: outstanding recognition and awareness of route concepts and combinations, carrying 2165 01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:52,960 Speaker 1: a receiver passing him off and then reacting to the 2166 01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:56,360 Speaker 1: route coming into his zone. So I really like Trayvon 2167 01:49:56,479 --> 01:49:59,240 Speaker 1: Diggs as a player. I know I'm a little bit 2168 01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:02,679 Speaker 1: in the minard I've seen him. You know, other people 2169 01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,120 Speaker 1: who make lists have him fifth or sixth, you know, 2170 01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:08,000 Speaker 1: as a corner. But but I love Treyvon Diggs. I 2171 01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,439 Speaker 1: love guy. That guy that I talked a little bit 2172 01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:14,559 Speaker 1: with at the combine is and it's a former Bills connection, 2173 01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:18,400 Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield, his father, former Bill's first round pick. One 2174 01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,920 Speaker 1: of the really finer players I've seen in the last 2175 01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:23,559 Speaker 1: twenty years of Bills football. I can't figure out Winfield 2176 01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:26,200 Speaker 1: those he is strong safety, type of free safety. Could 2177 01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:28,000 Speaker 1: he play corner? What do you make of that guy? Yeah, 2178 01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:29,559 Speaker 1: he's a guy who didn't get to see as much 2179 01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:31,560 Speaker 1: as I would have liked Murth. So I'm you know, 2180 01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:36,639 Speaker 1: I liked what I saw. I don't feel really confident 2181 01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:39,200 Speaker 1: right now in saying exactly what he is because I 2182 01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:41,240 Speaker 1: didn't quite get to see enough. And you know, me, 2183 01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:42,920 Speaker 1: if I don't see enough. I'm not going to make 2184 01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:46,200 Speaker 1: it up. I just I just wasn't sure yet, and unfortunately, 2185 01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get to see more. What about 2186 01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,759 Speaker 1: some of the other quarterbacks around this out, like Jalen Johnson, 2187 01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,280 Speaker 1: a cornerback. What do you think about him? Where would 2188 01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:58,120 Speaker 1: he fall in the draft? And where's he ranked him 2189 01:50:58,120 --> 01:50:59,920 Speaker 1: credit these other guys we've been talking about. Yeah, I 2190 01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:02,120 Speaker 1: think Johnson's a really good prospect as well. I think 2191 01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:05,240 Speaker 1: he's actually a really good off coverage corner, and you know, 2192 01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:08,120 Speaker 1: a lot of times those guys are you know, there's 2193 01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:11,000 Speaker 1: a feel for that because obviously the receiver has free 2194 01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:13,920 Speaker 1: access off the line of scrimmage. So you know, I 2195 01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:18,000 Speaker 1: think that he's actually a very very good off coverage corner. 2196 01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:21,280 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think he's got some length 2197 01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:23,160 Speaker 1: to him. You know, there's a lot of good sized corners. 2198 01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:25,760 Speaker 1: So Johnson is another interesting guy. I know there are 2199 01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:28,040 Speaker 1: people that like Johnson more than Diggs, and you know, 2200 01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:30,479 Speaker 1: I understand all that stuff. I never have. You know, 2201 01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:33,639 Speaker 1: if it's people who I know are doing the work, 2202 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm totally fine, you know, in those kinds of things. 2203 01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:41,160 Speaker 1: But I think Johnson's a really good prospect as well. Now, 2204 01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:43,760 Speaker 1: if you know, there's other corners that are that are 2205 01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:46,120 Speaker 1: different kinds of players. I mean, there's a kid out 2206 01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:50,120 Speaker 1: of a Mississippi State, Cameron Danzler, and he's really tall. 2207 01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:53,840 Speaker 1: He's over six too, he's thin. Um. I could see 2208 01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:58,320 Speaker 1: some people thinking that there are similarities stylistically to a 2209 01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:01,560 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman just because of the length. Um. You know, 2210 01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,160 Speaker 1: danz there's another very interesting guy as well. I mean, 2211 01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:07,680 Speaker 1: he's he's he's got size. You know. Again, I don't 2212 01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:10,240 Speaker 1: know how Sean sees this, but I would think he 2213 01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:13,280 Speaker 1: might like a bigger corner opposite White if he can 2214 01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:18,160 Speaker 1: find one that he likes. Obviously, we're with Greg. We're 2215 01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:21,880 Speaker 1: with an NFL Films executive producer. Greg ko Sell also 2216 01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,479 Speaker 1: co hosts The NFL Matchup. We're talking about cornerbacks and 2217 01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:28,800 Speaker 1: this year's draft. Greg, do you think how many guys 2218 01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:31,000 Speaker 1: do you think of the guys we've spoken about, and 2219 01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:33,880 Speaker 1: I think these are most of the top prospects at cornerback. 2220 01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:37,479 Speaker 1: How many of these guys are ranked in your opinion 2221 01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:41,920 Speaker 1: to be going, and particularly given the population of this 2222 01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:44,439 Speaker 1: draft at every position, how many of these corners do 2223 01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:47,400 Speaker 1: you think our first round talents, how many go to 2224 01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:50,160 Speaker 1: the second and you know how how populated do you 2225 01:52:50,200 --> 01:52:52,160 Speaker 1: see the first two rounds of this draft being with 2226 01:52:52,320 --> 01:53:00,280 Speaker 1: corners with cornerbacks? Well, every year, Steve, the two pass 2227 01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:02,679 Speaker 1: for the most part in which more players are drafted 2228 01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:06,479 Speaker 1: than other positions are corner and wide receiver. And I 2229 01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:09,720 Speaker 1: believe that you never have enough quality corners. We're in 2230 01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:13,040 Speaker 1: a league where eleven personnel, meaning three wide receivers on 2231 01:53:13,080 --> 01:53:17,320 Speaker 1: the field is the majority personnel package. You know, it 2232 01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:19,240 Speaker 1: might change a little bit each year as far as 2233 01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:22,240 Speaker 1: the exact percentage, but let's say approxim or at least 2234 01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:26,120 Speaker 1: sixty percent of the time cumulatively NFL teams have three 2235 01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:29,639 Speaker 1: wide receivers on the field. You never really have enough corners. 2236 01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:33,120 Speaker 1: And certainly when you go to your sub packages a 2237 01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:37,240 Speaker 1: long yarded situation, so corners are going to get drafted, 2238 01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:40,720 Speaker 1: and a lot of corners play in this league. Obviously, 2239 01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:43,640 Speaker 1: not everyone has a skill set like Jeffrey Okuda or 2240 01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:46,519 Speaker 1: Henderson or Digs. Not everybody has that kind of skill set, 2241 01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:49,160 Speaker 1: but a lot of corners play in this league. You 2242 01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:51,840 Speaker 1: know that. I mean, look at who teams sign and 2243 01:53:52,280 --> 01:53:56,679 Speaker 1: they make rosters, so you never really have enough corners. 2244 01:53:56,720 --> 01:54:00,360 Speaker 1: I think it's a fairly deep corner draft, and I 2245 01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:02,960 Speaker 1: think that the corner position. Look, it's always hard for 2246 01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:05,160 Speaker 1: me to say how many will go, but I think 2247 01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:07,559 Speaker 1: that in the first through the first two days, you'll 2248 01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:09,479 Speaker 1: see a good number of corners come off the board. 2249 01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:14,519 Speaker 1: Greg Cosal, executive producer analyst NFL matchup on ESPN. Hey, Greg, 2250 01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:17,360 Speaker 1: We're six days away from Round one, and as it stands, 2251 01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:19,400 Speaker 1: the Bills don't have a Round one pick. But as 2252 01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:22,000 Speaker 1: you look at the top prospects in next week's draft, 2253 01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:24,479 Speaker 1: give me a name of a guy who could that 2254 01:54:24,640 --> 01:54:26,960 Speaker 1: people will go whoa when his name is picked in 2255 01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:28,960 Speaker 1: the first round, maybe in the top ten. Who do 2256 01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:30,800 Speaker 1: you think might sneak in there that is kind of 2257 01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:36,560 Speaker 1: under the radar today six days away in the top ten? Yeah? Oh, 2258 01:54:38,240 --> 01:54:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean, is it chalk just gonna go chalk the 2259 01:54:40,360 --> 01:54:42,600 Speaker 1: whole top ten? Oh? No, no, no, no, I don't 2260 01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:44,640 Speaker 1: you know it could? I mean, I never know the 2261 01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:48,080 Speaker 1: answer to that. I mean, well, I guess what I'm 2262 01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:50,000 Speaker 1: fascinated to see, and it's not a top ten thing, 2263 01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:54,040 Speaker 1: is the receivers that end up going. Because I think 2264 01:54:54,680 --> 01:54:58,960 Speaker 1: I think that teams will have just very different feelings 2265 01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:02,000 Speaker 1: about receivers, you know. So I think some teams will 2266 01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:05,440 Speaker 1: have certain receivers rated very highly and other teams won't 2267 01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:09,080 Speaker 1: have that those particular receivers rated highly. And I think 2268 01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:12,360 Speaker 1: it will become teams specific and scheme specific as to 2269 01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:15,760 Speaker 1: how they want to deploy those receivers. So I think 2270 01:55:15,840 --> 01:55:18,680 Speaker 1: receivers in this draft, Murph will be all over the board. 2271 01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:23,600 Speaker 1: It's interesting. Yeah, last thing, tell me about the NFL 2272 01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:25,480 Speaker 1: matchup next week? What do you guys got planned?

I 2325 01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:00,320 Speaker 1: think it's worthy of your comment because I think it's 2326 01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:02,520 Speaker 1: an interesting question. Look, I have a hunch, and it's 2327 01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:06,400 Speaker 1: only a hunch, but I have a hunch that Brandon 2328 01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:08,720 Speaker 1: Mean wants to move up and do some business earlier 2329 01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:10,920 Speaker 1: in the second round. So what do you think? What 2330 01:58:10,960 --> 01:58:12,880 Speaker 1: do you want to see Brandon Bean doing this year's draft. 2331 01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:14,000 Speaker 1: Do you want to see him find a way to 2332 01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:16,400 Speaker 1: get back in the first round? You want to see 2333 01:58:16,440 --> 01:58:18,240 Speaker 1: him move up in the second round? You weapon Bills 2334 01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:20,240 Speaker 1: just to stay where they're at.

You know, if there's a if there's 2345 01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:06,760 Speaker 1: ever a pregnant pause, in the show. It's because one 2346 01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:10,520 Speaker 1: of us have started talking and had our mic because 2347 01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, we take a drink of water. Whatever you 2348 01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:13,880 Speaker 1: mute your mic, you take a drink of water, the 2349 01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:15,760 Speaker 1: ice rattles around the cup. You don't hear. You set 2350 01:59:15,800 --> 01:59:17,960 Speaker 1: it down, then you unmute. Well sometimes we always forget 2351 01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:21,480 Speaker 1: to unmute both well, I guess me mostly, but now 2352 01:59:21,600 --> 01:59:25,680 Speaker 1: Murph has done it so twice. So now it's once 2353 01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, the mute buttons there you kind of use it. Yeah, oh, 2354 01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:31,840 Speaker 1: now you forget, you forget. And every time I wanted 2355 01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:34,240 Speaker 1: to mute myself and all of a sudden it's open um. 2356 01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:36,480 Speaker 1: I would thinking. I've been thinking a lot Steven, and 2357 01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:38,960 Speaker 1: we're talking about next next week. Look, next week is 2358 01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:41,400 Speaker 1: gonna be fun, I think because I more more I 2359 01:59:41,520 --> 01:59:43,240 Speaker 1: think about it, the more I believe. And I'll be 2360 01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:45,640 Speaker 1: disappointed if the Bills don't move up. Just look, and 2361 01:59:45,720 --> 01:59:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm just rooting for fun here. I know that maybe 2362 01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:50,080 Speaker 1: there won't be a great move, but look, there's gonna 2363 01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:53,600 Speaker 1: be somebody coming down lasting you know, through Thursday night 2364 01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:55,600 Speaker 1: going into Friday, there's gonna be somebody coming down to 2365 01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:58,160 Speaker 1: the Bills and their groups say man we really like 2366 01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:00,120 Speaker 1: this guy. What would it take to move up? And 2367 02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Brandon being admit said he'd talked about moving up to 2368 02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:05,440 Speaker 1: thirty five, which would be what third in the third 2369 02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:07,680 Speaker 1: pick in the second round, maybe forty, which would be 2370 02:00:07,680 --> 02:00:12,400 Speaker 1: eighth pick. A crunch numbers, they'll flip second rounds with somebody. 2371 02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:16,160 Speaker 1: They give somebody their third rounder and maybe a fifth rounder, 2372 02:00:16,160 --> 02:00:18,840 Speaker 1: and they can move up to thirty five according to 2373 02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:20,880 Speaker 1: the draft charts. You could believe those charts. Last year 2374 02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:23,440 Speaker 1: they moved up, which also leads me to believe it 2375 02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:25,680 Speaker 1: it might take place. Last year, they just had to 2376 02:00:25,680 --> 02:00:28,280 Speaker 1: move up two spots. They were at forty. They moved 2377 02:00:28,360 --> 02:00:31,520 Speaker 1: up two spots to thirty eight. In exchange they got 2378 02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:34,560 Speaker 1: they sent their fortieth pick in the second round to 2379 02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:36,760 Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders and their fifth round pick, So it 2380 02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:38,800 Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't a big exchange. And by the way, 2381 02:00:40,600 --> 02:00:42,680 Speaker 1: that fifth rounder came for a J. McCarran. They have 2382 02:00:42,760 --> 02:00:44,920 Speaker 1: those kind of picks this year that they got an 2383 02:00:44,960 --> 02:00:47,720 Speaker 1: exchange for people. I don't know, maybe they used to 2384 02:00:47,760 --> 02:00:52,720 Speaker 1: have them. Now they've only got seven picks. They had rounds, right, 2385 02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:55,160 Speaker 1: they used to have nine coming into this year. Now 2386 02:00:55,200 --> 02:01:01,760 Speaker 1: they've got seven, right, and he trade that second and 2387 02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:04,680 Speaker 1: a third and you're a little short of what it 2388 02:01:04,680 --> 02:01:07,400 Speaker 1: would Yeah, you'd have to do the fifth or whatever. 2389 02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:10,280 Speaker 1: So that would take them down to four picks only 2390 02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:13,920 Speaker 1: in this draft for that player that you're talking about 2391 02:01:14,000 --> 02:01:16,640 Speaker 1: at thirty eight or thirty five or whatever, it would 2392 02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:19,440 Speaker 1: be forty whatever it be. And how many more than 2393 02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:22,480 Speaker 1: four are gonna make the roster? Yeah, and I'll tell 2394 02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:26,240 Speaker 1: you this too. Even And here's the thing, even if 2395 02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:28,720 Speaker 1: they don't make the roster, you can put them on 2396 02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:30,520 Speaker 1: your practice squad. I mean that's where some of the 2397 02:01:30,560 --> 02:01:32,800 Speaker 1: guys go. But you can fill your practice squad with 2398 02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:36,400 Speaker 1: anybody's practice squad players, right, I mean you can, um 2399 02:01:37,360 --> 02:01:40,560 Speaker 1: so I practice squad guy. That's fine. It's good for them, 2400 02:01:40,640 --> 02:01:42,840 Speaker 1: good for those guys. It helps the fellow players. But man, 2401 02:01:42,880 --> 02:01:44,520 Speaker 1: oh man, don't draft guys think they're gonna be on 2402 02:01:44,520 --> 02:01:47,680 Speaker 1: the practice squad. Right, And the development, let's get into 2403 02:01:47,680 --> 02:01:51,160 Speaker 1: some players here, I'm saying. That's all I'm thinking. I'm 2404 02:01:51,200 --> 02:01:53,320 Speaker 1: looking for fun, I admit it, and maybe the builds 2405 02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:56,960 Speaker 1: that will be more mature than I am about this. Right. 2406 02:01:57,240 --> 02:02:00,640 Speaker 1: Your hunch comes from the inner view we had with 2407 02:02:00,760 --> 02:02:05,120 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean on Wednesday, even a couple of weeks ago, 2408 02:02:05,160 --> 02:02:09,600 Speaker 1: he kind of hit so you're thinking, he told us, 2409 02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:11,480 Speaker 1: he gets, you know, the first rounds kind of out 2410 02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:13,959 Speaker 1: of the picture. They're not going to spend the capital 2411 02:02:14,320 --> 02:02:16,600 Speaker 1: to jump up to the first round. And I get 2412 02:02:16,680 --> 02:02:19,160 Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense. But the second round, 2413 02:02:19,200 --> 02:02:20,920 Speaker 1: you're right, he said, is not gonna be out of 2414 02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:23,480 Speaker 1: the propercy. He says, they're gonna wait till Day one's over, 2415 02:02:23,640 --> 02:02:25,880 Speaker 1: and then he's gonna attack the board and say okay, 2416 02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:29,280 Speaker 1: And they'll probably come up with a short list of 2417 02:02:29,520 --> 02:02:33,960 Speaker 1: guys whom if they become available past a certain number 2418 02:02:34,040 --> 02:02:37,160 Speaker 1: in the draft, where they can trade up for whatever price. 2419 02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:40,120 Speaker 1: And you'll know this too. You get to that point, 2420 02:02:40,160 --> 02:02:51,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna call teams like the Giants, the Chargers, the Lions, Carolina, Arizona, 2421 02:02:51,200 --> 02:02:53,200 Speaker 1: all those clubs in the top ten of the draft. 2422 02:02:53,280 --> 02:02:54,840 Speaker 1: They'll be in the top ten of the second round. 2423 02:02:54,840 --> 02:02:56,480 Speaker 1: Then there might be some teams who have traded those 2424 02:02:56,480 --> 02:02:58,760 Speaker 1: picks away. But I mean, you know they're gonna know 2425 02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:03,480 Speaker 1: the price of those picks because they're gonna check it 2426 02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:05,400 Speaker 1: out before the draft. They're gonna say, if we want 2427 02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:09,480 Speaker 1: to move up to number thirty eight, what's what's it 2428 02:03:09,560 --> 02:03:11,800 Speaker 1: gonna take If we're gonna move up to forty what's 2429 02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:13,560 Speaker 1: it gonna take, And what's it gonna take to move 2430 02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:15,760 Speaker 1: up to forty two? That kind of thing, And they'll 2431 02:03:15,800 --> 02:03:19,040 Speaker 1: have conversation with those teams and they'll say, okay, So 2432 02:03:19,160 --> 02:03:20,840 Speaker 1: when it gets close to it, they'll pick up the 2433 02:03:20,920 --> 02:03:24,400 Speaker 1: phone a couple of pick, a couple of you know, 2434 02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:28,240 Speaker 1: picks before that number comes up, and they'll say, hey, 2435 02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:30,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're still interested in making that deal in 2436 02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:32,280 Speaker 1: a couple of picks if you're still willing, you know. 2437 02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:35,160 Speaker 1: And they'll have all day Friday to talk to teams 2438 02:03:35,160 --> 02:03:40,680 Speaker 1: about their plans. You know, right that facilitated Actually, yeah, 2439 02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:42,640 Speaker 1: but that won't and you know this, it won't be 2440 02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:45,360 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills won't be the only team in the market. 2441 02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:47,240 Speaker 1: Now what it happens to this. They'll say, well, okay, 2442 02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:49,120 Speaker 1: but if you want to make this deal, you're gonna 2443 02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:52,320 Speaker 1: have to throw in another player or another pick, because 2444 02:03:52,400 --> 02:03:55,000 Speaker 1: we've also got this other team on the line. Yeah. Well, 2445 02:03:55,040 --> 02:04:00,240 Speaker 1: but that's not that easy because your picks, your second, third, 2446 02:04:00,280 --> 02:04:02,839 Speaker 1: and fourth round picks, may be better than the other teams, 2447 02:04:03,440 --> 02:04:05,640 Speaker 1: which gives you the edge, or it may be worse, 2448 02:04:05,920 --> 02:04:07,720 Speaker 1: which means you have to throw in a little extra count. 2449 02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:09,640 Speaker 1: You know, all that stuff comes into play about who 2450 02:04:09,720 --> 02:04:14,080 Speaker 1: they're talking to. Because while the Bills have their picks, 2451 02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:19,440 Speaker 1: their picks fall at at fifty four eighty six, one 2452 02:04:19,720 --> 02:04:22,760 Speaker 1: twenty eight, and one sixty seven. Other teams might be 2453 02:04:22,840 --> 02:04:25,800 Speaker 1: at fifty four, ninety seven and one thirty five. Those 2454 02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:28,080 Speaker 1: picks aren't as valuable, you know what I'm saying there. 2455 02:04:28,240 --> 02:04:30,480 Speaker 1: Number much just may come in a little lower or 2456 02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:32,200 Speaker 1: a little higher. And that all comes into it. So 2457 02:04:32,280 --> 02:04:35,040 Speaker 1: it's interesting to think about what other teams may do 2458 02:04:35,080 --> 02:04:37,880 Speaker 1: it or what the conversations will be. And you know, 2459 02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:39,760 Speaker 1: if you wonder about moving up to the first round 2460 02:04:39,800 --> 02:04:41,240 Speaker 1: the back end of the first round, in order to 2461 02:04:41,280 --> 02:04:44,320 Speaker 1: get the thirty second pick in the draft, the Bills 2462 02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:47,080 Speaker 1: would need to, you know, flip second rounds with the team. 2463 02:04:47,160 --> 02:04:49,360 Speaker 1: They need to send that team their third rounder and 2464 02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:51,840 Speaker 1: their fourth rounder and their fifth rounder. According to the 2465 02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:54,320 Speaker 1: Draft Value Chair, that's a little too much. Now you 2466 02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:56,520 Speaker 1: wind up with three picks and you got to pick 2467 02:04:56,560 --> 02:04:58,120 Speaker 1: in the first round and a pick in the sixth 2468 02:04:58,160 --> 02:04:59,960 Speaker 1: and one on the seventh that's a little too much. 2469 02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:03,080 Speaker 1: That's a little bit crazy. And most of these draft 2470 02:05:03,200 --> 02:05:05,680 Speaker 1: chard values things. When you get into the sixth and 2471 02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:11,640 Speaker 1: seventh round, they're they're like pennies on the dom. I 2472 02:05:11,680 --> 02:05:13,640 Speaker 1: mean it's like it's like a pocket full of loose 2473 02:05:13,800 --> 02:05:17,839 Speaker 1: change going into a casino. I mean, basically, they're almost worthless. 2474 02:05:18,480 --> 02:05:19,720 Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you think the Bills 2475 02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:21,600 Speaker 1: will do in the draft next week? If it's a call? 2476 02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:24,360 Speaker 1: Here is Tom and Lackawanna. Hi Tom, you're on the 2477 02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:27,520 Speaker 1: air with us. Hi, guys, um. I think they should 2478 02:05:27,600 --> 02:05:30,120 Speaker 1: respect their board if they think there's somebody worth moving 2479 02:05:30,200 --> 02:05:33,480 Speaker 1: up for, and then move up. If not, if they 2480 02:05:33,560 --> 02:05:36,160 Speaker 1: think there's three guys that might follow the third round 2481 02:05:36,200 --> 02:05:39,000 Speaker 1: and trade out of the second round and have three 2482 02:05:39,080 --> 02:05:44,080 Speaker 1: in the third yeah, I guess yeah, that wouldn't be 2483 02:05:44,160 --> 02:05:47,000 Speaker 1: as much fun as my proposal. I think they should 2484 02:05:47,080 --> 02:05:49,560 Speaker 1: respect the board and they should respect their evaluation of 2485 02:05:49,640 --> 02:05:52,280 Speaker 1: tab Look, I'm thinking of offensive linement. They moved up 2486 02:05:52,440 --> 02:05:54,360 Speaker 1: in the second round two spots up. They get Cody 2487 02:05:54,400 --> 02:05:56,760 Speaker 1: Forward last year, they can make a move up to 2488 02:05:56,840 --> 02:05:59,280 Speaker 1: the earlier second round this year, and maybe like a 2489 02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:02,480 Speaker 1: Beckton of Louisville is there in the going into Friday, 2490 02:06:02,560 --> 02:06:06,360 Speaker 1: maybe Jackson from USC maybe Cleveland from Boise State is available. 2491 02:06:06,560 --> 02:06:09,960 Speaker 1: There's there's According to our Lands, which is my bible 2492 02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:13,360 Speaker 1: this time of year, there's seven offensive tackles, either first 2493 02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:15,320 Speaker 1: or second round value. Maybe the Bills have a good 2494 02:06:15,360 --> 02:06:18,200 Speaker 1: feeling about one of those. Here's here's what you're up against. 2495 02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:22,960 Speaker 1: That's how you get the thing about respecting your board. 2496 02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:25,120 Speaker 1: But here's where you're talking about. That's what they're doing. 2497 02:06:26,200 --> 02:06:29,400 Speaker 1: If their board tells them that this guy falls, and 2498 02:06:29,560 --> 02:06:31,680 Speaker 1: he's a guy they really like. I mean, that's how 2499 02:06:31,760 --> 02:06:34,040 Speaker 1: they get into this trade talk to move up anyway 2500 02:06:34,480 --> 02:06:37,080 Speaker 1: is because they respect their own board. That's what we're 2501 02:06:37,120 --> 02:06:39,960 Speaker 1: talking about. They've got a guy rated so highly that 2502 02:06:40,120 --> 02:06:45,040 Speaker 1: at thirty or thirty five or forty, he's way undervalued 2503 02:06:45,160 --> 02:06:47,320 Speaker 1: for them, and he's and he would be, no doubt, 2504 02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:49,120 Speaker 1: a guy that would speak to a need that they 2505 02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:51,200 Speaker 1: see on their own team, and a guy that wouldn't 2506 02:06:51,200 --> 02:06:54,160 Speaker 1: be around at fifty four, right, So expect respecting their 2507 02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:57,080 Speaker 1: board is how you get into this conversation. To begin with, yep, 2508 02:06:57,600 --> 02:07:00,120 Speaker 1: A couple of items from the tweet sheet product by 2509 02:07:00,160 --> 02:07:02,720 Speaker 1: Cargan Moving Systems. The official moving to the Buffalo Bills 2510 02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:05,600 Speaker 1: Alban says, Hi, guys, I hope Brandon Bean is going 2511 02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:08,040 Speaker 1: to move up in the second round. So to why Alban, 2512 02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:09,800 Speaker 1: he says, By the way, I love the show. I'm 2513 02:07:09,880 --> 02:07:13,040 Speaker 1: listening to you guys in Cologne, Germany. It's really comforting 2514 02:07:13,160 --> 02:07:15,360 Speaker 1: during these crazy times. Please keep up the good work. 2515 02:07:15,400 --> 02:07:17,880 Speaker 1: That's cool all the way from Cologne, Germany. You can 2516 02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:19,520 Speaker 1: listen online, by the way, if you go to the 2517 02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:22,800 Speaker 1: Bills app streaming audio right there. I am that's cool though. 2518 02:07:22,880 --> 02:07:26,400 Speaker 1: Good for you, Alban, Thank you. Everybody's everybody's jumping on 2519 02:07:26,480 --> 02:07:28,920 Speaker 1: your bandwagon. The second guy on the tweets maybe j 2520 02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:33,520 Speaker 1: Jay Harris, maybe Jay Bird is filtering these to all 2521 02:07:33,560 --> 02:07:35,760 Speaker 1: agree with you, but he said also from Adam, he says, 2522 02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:37,320 Speaker 1: I think we should move up in the second round 2523 02:07:37,360 --> 02:07:39,680 Speaker 1: if there's someone who fits perfectly with the team. I 2524 02:07:39,880 --> 02:07:43,360 Speaker 1: personally won an offensive lineman, but since Bean has been 2525 02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:45,840 Speaker 1: doing so well on the draft, I'll be excited to 2526 02:07:45,880 --> 02:07:48,680 Speaker 1: see whomever they picked. Let's go Buffalo. And you don't 2527 02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:51,839 Speaker 1: disagree with me, I wouldn't say no, I don't disagree 2528 02:07:51,880 --> 02:07:56,760 Speaker 1: with you. I'm just not as convinced they're hell bent 2529 02:07:56,880 --> 02:08:00,640 Speaker 1: on getting it done. I think I don't know about 2530 02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:03,040 Speaker 1: hell bent. But I think they're open, and I think 2531 02:08:03,080 --> 02:08:05,520 Speaker 1: they have shown that they are draft They love to 2532 02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:10,280 Speaker 1: maneuver around the draft board. And I think because a 2533 02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:12,480 Speaker 1: little I know about Brandon Mean, I think he likes 2534 02:08:12,520 --> 02:08:15,160 Speaker 1: it as much as anybody to be in the mix 2535 02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:16,880 Speaker 1: and to be on the phone and working it hard. 2536 02:08:17,080 --> 02:08:19,320 Speaker 1: Here's a tweet from Crabster. We don't have a ton 2537 02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:21,160 Speaker 1: of spots open on this roster. Let's go and grab 2538 02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:23,600 Speaker 1: some of that first round talent that falls to early 2539 02:08:23,680 --> 02:08:26,400 Speaker 1: second round and cross our fingers. We have a season. 2540 02:08:26,840 --> 02:08:29,240 Speaker 1: We only have by my count, three possible needs. Young 2541 02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:32,360 Speaker 1: defensimen running back compared with motor and young talent depth 2542 02:08:32,400 --> 02:08:35,880 Speaker 1: at cornerback. Okay, I just think Brandon Mean's gonna As 2543 02:08:35,920 --> 02:08:38,160 Speaker 1: I said a couple of days ago, Ancie after a 2544 02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:41,000 Speaker 1: first round where he's a spectator eager to make a move. 2545 02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Maybe has you know two or maybe three players that 2546 02:08:44,880 --> 02:08:46,280 Speaker 1: fell out of the first round and they are now 2547 02:08:46,280 --> 02:08:49,080 Speaker 1: available going into Friday ninety seven, and he says, what 2548 02:08:49,640 --> 02:08:51,360 Speaker 1: will it take? And it won't take that much to 2549 02:08:51,440 --> 02:08:53,520 Speaker 1: move up to thirty five. It'll take their second rounder, 2550 02:08:53,560 --> 02:08:57,400 Speaker 1: their third rounder, and you know, flipping second rounds, it'll 2551 02:08:57,440 --> 02:09:00,640 Speaker 1: take their third rounder and the fourth rounder. Yes, go 2552 02:09:00,720 --> 02:09:03,960 Speaker 1: some good players right now, I get it. Yeah, that 2553 02:09:04,040 --> 02:09:06,320 Speaker 1: third guy Crabster who just tweeted in and he's obviously 2554 02:09:06,360 --> 02:09:08,440 Speaker 1: been listening to show. That's what we're all talking about. 2555 02:09:08,480 --> 02:09:12,160 Speaker 1: Are a young defensive edge rusher are running back, maybe 2556 02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:16,040 Speaker 1: to pair with motor, to compliment motor to whatever, to 2557 02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:18,760 Speaker 1: be as good as motor, and then young talent depth, 2558 02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:23,920 Speaker 1: maybe a corner um. I'm totally into keeping the defense 2559 02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:26,120 Speaker 1: as a lead as possible, and I think they've done that, 2560 02:09:27,160 --> 02:09:30,320 Speaker 1: but with respect, I would love to see a young 2561 02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:34,280 Speaker 1: Turnus White on the other side to get a guy 2562 02:09:34,360 --> 02:09:37,920 Speaker 1: who MANKEI. I'd love it if this defense took an 2563 02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:41,320 Speaker 1: even bigger step forward, more pressure upfront, and then get 2564 02:09:41,360 --> 02:09:44,560 Speaker 1: even better, better play, more reliable play on the other 2565 02:09:44,880 --> 02:09:47,560 Speaker 1: opposite corner. Oh my gosh, can you imagine this defense? 2566 02:09:47,640 --> 02:09:51,080 Speaker 1: Then it'd be awesome. Maybe they would start turn out turnovers. Again, 2567 02:09:51,360 --> 02:09:54,840 Speaker 1: It's unlikely they'll get a White.

Feel good about it 2570 02:10:00,040 --> 02:10:04,160 Speaker 1: that that defense would really really be unbelievable if they 2571 02:10:04,200 --> 02:10:06,360 Speaker 1: could do that.

We asked him, what are you 2594 02:11:27,280 --> 02:11:29,480 Speaker 1: think it gonna be like having the New England Patriots 2595 02:11:29,840 --> 02:11:32,880 Speaker 1: without Tom Brady. Here's what Thurman said. I don't know 2596 02:11:33,080 --> 02:11:35,960 Speaker 1: what to expect out of the New England paces this year. Um, 2597 02:11:36,600 --> 02:11:39,040 Speaker 1: I have no idea. Tom Brady is not there, so 2598 02:11:39,440 --> 02:11:41,560 Speaker 1: we haven't seen it in twenty years, so we don't 2599 02:11:41,600 --> 02:11:44,640 Speaker 1: really know. But you know, having a coach like Belichick, 2600 02:11:44,760 --> 02:11:47,520 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna be up to something and I'm 2601 02:11:47,560 --> 02:11:50,520 Speaker 1: sure they're gonna be competitive. What he likes you when 2602 02:11:50,600 --> 02:11:55,000 Speaker 1: the when the AMC East without Tom Brady, Absolutely he would, 2603 02:11:55,440 --> 02:11:58,320 Speaker 1: So you know he's gonna be This is probably gonna 2604 02:11:58,320 --> 02:12:00,640 Speaker 1: be the hardest and he's coached to a last twenty 2605 02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:04,640 Speaker 1: years because he doesn't have Tom Brady. Interesting Thurman Thomas. 2606 02:12:04,840 --> 02:12:06,640 Speaker 1: Our Twitter poll today, what do you want to see 2607 02:12:06,720 --> 02:12:10,040 Speaker 1: from Brandon Bean next week in the draft? Fifty seven 2608 02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:11,640 Speaker 1: percent of you would say they should just stay where 2609 02:12:11,640 --> 02:12:14,840 Speaker 1: they're at fifty four second rounds to stay there. Thirty 2610 02:12:14,880 --> 02:12:16,480 Speaker 1: percent say they should try to move up in the 2611 02:12:16,520 --> 02:12:19,360 Speaker 1: second round. Nine percent say they should try to find 2612 02:12:19,400 --> 02:12:21,560 Speaker 1: a way to get back in the first round. I 2613 02:12:21,600 --> 02:12:23,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I think people would want more fun than that, Steve. 2614 02:12:23,960 --> 02:12:27,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, but they might want more fun, 2615 02:12:27,240 --> 02:12:28,760 Speaker 1: but they might not think it's the right thing to do. 2616 02:12:28,960 --> 02:12:30,760 Speaker 1: I think, And some of them might have voted like 2617 02:12:30,840 --> 02:12:32,720 Speaker 1: they just think that's what's going to happen too. So 2618 02:12:32,840 --> 02:12:35,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think I'm with him. I 2619 02:12:35,080 --> 02:12:37,920 Speaker 1: think they more than likely will stay where they're at 2620 02:12:38,320 --> 02:12:40,720 Speaker 1: because moving up in the second round maybe too expensive 2621 02:12:40,760 --> 02:12:44,600 Speaker 1: and that guy may not be there. Maybe we'll see. 2622 02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:46,880 Speaker 1: That's why I've talked myself into this week. I'll have 2623 02:12:46,920 --> 02:12:50,520 Speaker 1: a new idea next week. Steve, have a great weekend. 2624 02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:52,560 Speaker 1: Try to keep a calm over there. Don't go don't 2625 02:12:52,600 --> 02:12:54,240 Speaker 1: go crazy. I know you got big plans to be 2626 02:12:54,280 --> 02:12:57,800 Speaker 1: out about. Yeah, big plans. I might run a lap 2627 02:12:57,840 --> 02:13:00,920 Speaker 1: around the house or something.
