00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker, who has been all other fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual roll

00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: player for Save Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,720

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,440

00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. We're still slicing and dice in the draft

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: up a little bit. We'll get into that in due course.

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: So I'm watching Steve Tasker consume his lunch at his desk,

9
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: and he rolls out from his tupperware. One of my

10
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: favorite indications that summer is upon us, the good old

11
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: mac salad. If that is not a summer indicator on

12
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: the food spectrum, I don't know what is. Yeah, And

13
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: I came back you said that to me. You know what.

14
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: I came back with Coleslaw. Yeah, Max salad is. Max

15
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: salad is probably my favorite summer salad accompaniment. That's not,

16
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, like a green salad. You know what I mean?

17
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: You have those years love Max salad. Man, I love it.

18
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I can't get enough of it.

19
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm always going back for seconds. And you brought up

20
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: cole Slaw, which I ask while it is a cold

21
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: side dish similar to macaroni salad. Is it a salad?

22
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: I mean it's slaw. There are vegetables in it. It's

23
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: all vegetables and dressing. So yeah, it's got to be

24
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: a salad. But the conversation too that there there's a

25
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: wide variety of Coal Slaw. Some Cole Slaw I cannot,

26
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: I cannot put a fork into. Yeah, some people put

27
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: red cabbage in. Yeah, there's a lot of wide there's

28
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: a wide ranging some people disparity and what cole slaw

29
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: is good, and there's some Cole Slaw that's just there's

30
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: and there's a to me, there's a very wet Cole

31
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Slaw and then there's a very dry cow right, and

32
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: I'm somewhere in between. Yeah, And I don't like it's

33
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: swimming and I don't like it dry. We said this

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: too about the about the macaroni salad. I think there's

35
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: more macaroni salad I love than there is Cole Slaw. Yeah,

36
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: as you said, there is a smaller band there's a

37
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: smaller bandwidth of Cole slaw. Ma of Max salad from

38
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: end to end, I mean the good Max salad and

39
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: the bad Max salad. There's they're close together, it's a

40
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: shorter distance Cole slaw. The spectrum is really big. Yeah,

41
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: I think people have tried to jump the shark with

42
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: Cole slaw. Like it's almost like they trying many time

43
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: you go to a barbecue place, they got they got

44
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: their brand and their own kind of great. So you know,

45
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: some of it's really really good and then other of

46
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: it is like, you know, I'm just gonna throw that

47
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: out without Yeah, um, Max salad is their tuna in

48
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: your Max salad? Both? Yeah, yes, that's part of the base. Yeah,

49
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: my mom never made it with tuna, but my mother

50
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: in law does, and it's very good. I had never

51
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: experienced that prior to getting married, so it's it just

52
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: adds it puts a new twist on it if you've

53
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: never experienced it before. All Right, So I grow up,

54

00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: the window of the time of year where you could

119
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: conceivably if you have a big enough family and my

122
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,840

00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: month in the summer with max Salad on the venue,

124
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: which is here's the thing, you know what it's like.

125
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Our listeners know this, and particularly coming out of the pandemic.

126
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: How many events have you put off? Not done, gonna

127
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: do it next year, the kind of thing. And then

128
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: this summer, right, my word, this summer, every weekend you're

129
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna be necked deep in stuff you kind

130
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: of feel like you gotta do. Yeah, because some stuff

131
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: you can blow off in years past, not this year.

132
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: There's important stuff going on every weekend. Because even last year,

133
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, you're outside, it was safer, whatever, there were

134
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: still people that are like, well, we don't want to

135
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: have you know, community serve, everybody touching the spoon, all

136
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: of that stuff. So you're getting individually served portions and

137
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,240

138
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,880

140
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,880

144
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: one of those. I think it's gonna be one of

145
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: those summers where, yeah, you can, you can live on

146

152
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: talking about, what's interesting about this is apparently Hopkins tested

153
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: negative in October, positive in November, and then negative again

154
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: in December. And they feel there's no way that you

155
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: could do that. Well, the Hopkins camp claim, I get it.

156
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: You can say whatever you want, but you're responsible for

157
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: what's in your stuff. Yeah, and I'll say this too,

158
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: and and I'm I mean, I cut my teeth and

159
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: the first half of my career is in the steroid era,

160
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: So what the general and just for people out there, listening.

161
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: The general attitude among players, at least when I was playing,

162
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: and probably still is, is whatever is allowed that I

163
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: think is gonna help me, I'm gonna try. So these

164
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: guys will have a menu of supplements of sports, drinks,

165
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: of pills of whatever, whatever, whatever you name it, injections,

166
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: whatever they think is going to help them that is

167
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: legal under the NFL guidelines. They're gonna give it a shot.

168
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna t right now. And we all know there

169
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: are supplement companies out there that have a wide variety

170
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: of products they offer, some of which are not allowed

171
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: by the NFL on the list, and there's a there

172
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: is a oh my gosh, a huge list of what

173
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: is not allowed, as you can imagine. So there are

174
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: companies that offer a ton of stuff that is on

175
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: that list that is not allowable for NFL players. But

176
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: they also have a huge variety of stuff that is

177
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: the problem is some of these and this is the

178
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: real truth, and I'm not trying to make excuse it,

179
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: because it's not really Probably what happens to all these guys.

180
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: Some of the companies aren't as reliable about making their

181
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: batches of because they're all over the counter ingredient. It's

182
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: all over the counter, so you know, you can get

183
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: contaminated batches of bottles of stuff from the same company.

184
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: One is one is not that kind of thing. Now,

185
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: that does happen and can happen, and has happened. But

186
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: the simple fact the matter is, you got to know

187
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: that these guys, all of these guys, most of them

188
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: all take something to help him keep weight on, to

189
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: help him take weight off, to make give him more energy,

190
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: to give him a little bit whatever, help him recover

191
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: quick hurt all the ads. And if a player's gonna,

192
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: you know, is in a competition, he'll try a lot

193
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: of stuff. Not all of it's legal. Not all of

194
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: it's legal. And unless you're you've got the list in

195
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: front of you and can read these ingredients that have

196
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: fifteen letters in him, you got you're responsible for it.

197
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: And that's what happens to these guys. Yeah, Hopkins did

198
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: release a statement he said, in my ten year NFL career,

199
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: I have never tested positive for using performance and answering drugs.

200
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: To learn that my November test came back with trace

201
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: elements of a band substance, I was confused and shocked.

202
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: I am very mindful of what I put in my body.

203
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Have always taken a holistic approach, so I am working

204
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: with my team to investigate how this could have happened.

205
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: But even as careful as I have been, clearly I

206
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: wasn't careful enough for that. I apologize to Cardinals fans,

207
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: my teammates in the entire organization. Never want to let

208
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: my team down. I fully intend to get to the

209
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: bottom of this. As soon as I have more information,

210
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: I will share it so it doesn't see I mean,

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: I suppose at some point he could appeal. There is

212
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: no indication in that statement that he intends to. I

213
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: guess he wants to probably gather more information before deciding

214
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: whether an appeal is worth it. Right, you're not going

215
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: to get out get Yeah, you're not going to get

216
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: away with it now. I'm not going to get out

217
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: of the out of the suspension now. There was a

218
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: funny offshoot to this suspension. Someone tweeted in regards to

219
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: the Hopkins suspension. The following This is from Ian Hartet's

220
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: and he says he tweeted. Per sources, DeAndre Hopkins tested

221
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: positive for three separate types of annabolic steroids and a

222
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: low grade beaver tranquilizer. Now, some people took this as

223
00:12:53,280 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: a legitimate report, so the comments were pretty hilarious. I

224
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: will read you a few of those once I can

225
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: find him, but I mean for those that don't know,

226
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: and clearly a lot of these people didn't know. This

227
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: is a line from the movie Dodgeball, where the average

228
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: Joe's team is in the regionals to go to the

229
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: national tournament for dodgeball. So Vince Vaughan and his crew

230
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: had to play this Girl Scout Troop and the Girls

231
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: Scout Troop won the match. But as they're about to

232
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: announce the Girl Scout Troop has won, somebody comes up

233
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: with a piece of information and hands it to the

234
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: guy making the announcement, and he said, I'm the Girl

235
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: Scout Troop is not going to advance because it has

236
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: been discovered that one of their players had a tainted

237
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: urine sample that had three types of anabolic steroids and

238
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: a low grade beaver tranquilizers. So the guy takes the

239
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: line from the movie and tweets it, tweets it and

240
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: people think he's serious about the report. So here are

241
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: a few of the comments that follow, and you can

242
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: tell pretty quickly who knew and who did not know

243
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: it was from the movie Dodgeball. So one guy he

244
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: just goes with damn, damn damn beaver emoji, beaver emoji,

245
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: beaver emoji. Another guy has a gift of a beaver

246
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: laying waste to a sweet potato. Another guy tweets the

247
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: scene from Dodgeball, clearly knowing that it's from the movie.

248
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: Another guy says, my youth football team has been taking

249
00:14:54,440 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: beaver tranquilizers for years and they're doing just fine. And

250
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: then this guy tweets imagine not being able to afford

251
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: a high grade beaver tranquilizer. So I mean, it's pretty

252
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. I just gotta kick out of it now.

253
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: I've also been on the other end of that when

254
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: I did not know the movie reference or something, and

255
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, is that real? Yeah, and you hesitate for

256
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: a second sometimes, and I think Ross Tucker got fooled,

257
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: or maybe he actually said this is the best tainted

258
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: supplement ever. Meanwhile, the guy that tweeted it yesterday after

259
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: where it went running to he said, I think this

260
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: just might be my masterpieces on Twitter. Oh my gosh,

261
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: it's yes, Yeah, this is why Steve says all the time,

262
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: the internet is undefeated. It's undefeated and on Also, you

263
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: just when you tweet, here's what you do. If you're

264
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna tweet anything, Type it up, look at it, rewead it,

265
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: make sure it's grammatically correct, and then deleted, and don't

266
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: send it under any circumstances. There's nothing worth tweeting. Nothing. Yeah,

267
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: oh my goodness. On another NFL subject, Steve Tyrn Matthew

268
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: got a reported three year, thirty three million dollar deal

269
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: to sign with the Saints eighteen million guaranteed, which is

270
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: actually less than what Justin Reid signed for with the

271
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs to replace him. He got twenty million guaranteed. So

272
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs to claim they couldn't afford Tyron Matthew

273
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: seems a little counterintuitive. My feeling is they just didn't

274
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: want a twenty nine year old safety when they could

275
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: have a twenty five year old safety for the same money.

276
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: They didn't want a twenty nine year old safety that

277
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: was part of a secondary that was garbage last year.

278
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: The Turan Matthews a pretty good player, I think an

279
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: opportunistic player right there for sure, But man oh Man,

280
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: the chief secondary was hot garbage last year and they're

281
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: changing it up there, and I think maybe that's part

282
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: of the reason he's not there. They wanted, you know,

283
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: they wanted a wholesale change. Now, the question here as

284
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: it pertains to the bills is as follows. Matthew is

285
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: twenty nine. Jordan Poyer, who is asking for more money,

286
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: is thirty one, and you have to believe for his agent,

287
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhouse, he's going to try to use this as

288
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: a jumping off point for his client. The problem here

289
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: is Poyer is two years older than Matthew and he's

290
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: getting close to the same money in average annual salary

291
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: right now. He just signed that two year extension worth

292
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: nineteen and a half million, a little over thirteen million guaranteed.

293
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: So Poyer's deal has an average annual value of nine

294
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: point seven five million. Matthew's deal is eleven. I mean,

295
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: you're not far off, and you're two years older. I

296
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm just yeah, we'll see where it goes. Obviously,

297
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: but we had Brandon being on the show here yesterday

298
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: and when I was asking him, you know, you still

299
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: might want to fill in your roster here and there

300
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: with some free agents that have either gotten tossed overboard

301
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: by some of their teams based on who they acquired

302
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: in the draft, or there might be guys just still

303
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: sitting out there whose price tag has come way down

304
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: and Brandon told us I need money there, I don't

305
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: have cap space. Yeah, there's gonna be real problems with

306
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: the salary structures of most teams this coming year. For

307
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: this reason, we're going through right now some of these teams.

308
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: If you sign a deal now, the team is putting

309
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: it out there because everybody believes the salary cap is

310
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: gonna skyrocket too, like two thirty, I'm gonna have an

311
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: extra twenty million bucks to spend this next year. The

312
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: problem is you're getting seeing guys like Tyronne Matthew. You

313
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: signed a deal like this at a twenty nine years old,

314
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: and you got another guy over here who's and all

315
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna go, hey, me too, me too,

316
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: Me too, me too. You know, the Tyreek Hill deal

317
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: is gonna send shockwaves through the receiver, right, So you're

318
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: gonna have guys who hit a home run financially, and

319
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: it's gonna cause everybody else at that in that position

320
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: group across the lead to go Hey, I'm better than

321
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: that guy. What are you doing? So it's gonna cause

322
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: some problems and a ripple have a ripple effect through

323
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: because the cap is going up and teams are gonna

324
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: have to decide who's gonna get the money, because they're

325
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: gonna give it to somebody, and these guys who feel

326
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: like they deserve it are gonna have to have a

327
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: choice to make is whether to hold out to get

328
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: it or can they get the club to give it

329
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: to them without holding out. Um. I think it's gonna

330
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: be an issue going forward for the next ten or

331
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: twelve months, maybe the next full calendar year, um coming

332
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: in on what this cap is gonna look like. It'll

333
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: be interesting if the cap goes up to two fifteen, right,

334
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: they're thinking two thirty. What happens if it goes to

335
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: two fifteen, We're gonna we're gonna go back to where

336
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: we were in twenty twenty, twenty twenty or twenty twenty one.

337
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see. But I think it is going

338
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: to cause a problem. And whenever there's an influx of money,

339
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: how that money gets divvied up. There's a little tension

340
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: there for teams with their own Risters and across the league.

341
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: Based on where Brandon had the cap situation for the Bills,

342
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: I just get the sense it's going to be very

343
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: hard for them to wedge in any kind of oh yeah,

344
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: extension or pay increase. What they can do Boyer this year.

345
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: What they can do is what we've seen before. They

346
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: can they can guarantee a larger portion of a contract

347
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: even though it's the same length, and that doesn't affect

348
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: the cap. They can give them some money up front,

349
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: but the same contract turn turned their salary of the

350
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: third year or the second year or whatever into bonus

351
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: they get now and spread it out over the cap contracts,

352
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: so they get more money. Now. All of that's an option,

353
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: but you need some cash flow for it, and you

354
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: know it's not always there. Certainly, the league is going

355
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: to earn and the teams are gonna be free to

356
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: spend whatever money they've got in next year's cap however

357
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: they want. But they don't. They don't get like an

358
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: advance from the league with that cast. So you gotta

359
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: have actually money to give these guys. That comes down

360
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: to an owner dipping into his own pockets for the

361
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: time being and giving these guys cash until the league

362
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: pays him back with the cap NFL Power rankings post draft,

363
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: the Bills are still number one post draft. They were

364
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: number one pre draft. They are number one post draft.

365
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: Here's what they wrote on NFL dot com. The Bills

366
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: use the draft to put the finishing touches on a

367
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: loaded roster that has balanced on both sides of the ball.

368
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: First round pick Kaier Elam fills the void across from

369
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: stand out cornerback Trey White. Second round picked James Cook,

370
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: brother of Vikings stud Delvin, adds some meated juice to

371
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: the running back room. Josh Allen wasn't exactly hurting for weapons,

372
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: but Cook's versatility, along with the quiet signing of underrated

373
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: slotman Jamison Crowder, will make Buffalo's attack even more difficult

374
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: to contend with. Good luck AFC and is the right

375
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: up on NFL dot com. The rest of the top

376
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: five Steve, You're ready, Rams, Bucks, Bengals, Niners, Where have

377
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: I seen those names? Surprised to see Niners there me

378
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: too a little bit because their quarterback situation is muddled

379
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: at best. Now. Going into the season, they will be healthier,

380
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: but if Trey Lance winds up being the starter. The

381
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: Niners are not fifth in the league. There's no way.

382
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: I realize the division's you know, a little water down

383
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: since Russell Wilson left, but come on, yeah, fifth, and

384
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: I think the Bucks are gonna slide a little bit.

385
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: They've lost some people in free agency, so it's hard

386
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: to it's hard to take it from me, it's hard

387
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: to get back at a level every every year. Um well,

388
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: let's put it this way. Who else is gonna go

389
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: in there? Um? So that's where you run into problems, like, okay,

390
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: with the pack the Packers, packers probably Monte Adams gone

391
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get back. But I mean, you still

392
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: got the quarterback. You know, that's the problem. Somebody's got

393
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: to go in those slots, and I don't know who else.

394
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: I like the Colts a lot. Yeah, you know that's

395
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: a good one too. I like them too, particularly after

396
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: the season they put together last year. Matt Ryan is

397
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: gonna benefit a great deal from a change of scenes.

398
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: I think so too. You're right, I think they could

399
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: be higher in that. Um. I was just the Niners

400
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: thing with the quarterback situation muddled just it really puzzled me.

401
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: I was like, really, them fifth I don't know. It

402
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: just struck me as strange. I don't throw me a

403
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, I just think like it's sitting at

404
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: this point. You look at a team like, for instance,

405
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals and the little bit of drama they

406
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: had last year with Kyler Murray after the season scrubbing

407
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: his Instagram account or whatever they do, and then that

408
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: now the DeAndre Hopkins scenario. Now they're sitting there looking

409
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: at their locker room going okay, jj watt, oh my god,

410
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, here was the other

411
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: interesting thing that I saw in the NFL dot COM's

412
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: recent power rankings seven Chiefs, eight Broncos, nine Chargers, ten Raiders.

413
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: The entire AFC West goes seven eight nine ten on

414
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: their power rankings seven eight nine ten. Who's tens Raiders?

415
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's pretty interesting. Yeah, that is pretty interesting

416
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: because those are that we have fun, no question about it,

417
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: and you know what, think about it. That's a division also,

418
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: it could have been seven eight nine ten, it could

419
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: have been six, seven eight nine. You know what I mean.

420
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: They're that's they're good out there, led by the Chiefs,

421
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: and the only reason that you don't start to spread

422
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: them out is because they're gonna beat up on each other.

423
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: They all play each other six times. Yeah, six of

424
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: the top sixteen are NFC teams, the rest are AFC teams.

425
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: So top sixteen teams on the power rankings ten in

426
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: the AFC, six in the NFC, and I don't expect

427
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: that to change much. No, we have to step aside

428
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: and take a break here because when we come back

429
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: we will be talking with the former position coach of

430
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: one Kai Year Elam at the University of Florida, Jules Montenaar,

431
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: will be joining us next to talk a little Kayer

456
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah. So when you you know, you walk

457
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: on to campus, he's got a new position. Coach, how

458
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: did you kind of you know, forge that relationship with him?

459
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: And was it pretty easy going knowing he's all about football? Yeah?

460
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: I think you know going into it. So my first

461
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: interaction for Kinder deal and was back in twenty nineteen,

462
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: I was an assistant coach at the University of Florida.

463
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: He came on a recruiting trip and then the three

464
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: schools that came down to was Georgia, Florida, and Colorado.

465
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: He ended up Silo of Florida, and two years later

466
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: I got the cornerback job at Florida. So we linked

467
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: up and and we immediately hit it all. So one

468
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: of the first thing I did, I went back and

469
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: watched all the games from the previous year and made

470
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: a cut up of all his you know good, better

471
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: best and all the you know saw all the great plays,

472
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: continue to do that. There's some good plays that could

473
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: be great, so we worked on those and are some

474
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: plays that needed some improvement. And we just sat down

475
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: the third day on the job and just showing just

476
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: watching the technique and the fundamentals for each particular play.

477
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: We just hit it off from there. And when you

478
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: talk about what you saw in him, not only back then,

479
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: but this year, was how big a difference was there

480
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: or did you notice? And you know how you know,

481
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: how great a talent do you think Kier can be?

482
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: And as particularly at the level you saw this last year. Yeah,

483
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: I think the sky is a living for him. I mean,

484
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: he's a young man still, he's twenty years old. He's

485
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: played a lot of football, He's played in a very

486
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: very good conference, and I think his best football is

487
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: probably ahead of him. You know. So going into the season,

488
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: obviously there's all this hype about you know, this big

489
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: time corner, you know, projected first round draft picked corner

490
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: in my room, and it was my job to make sure,

491
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, that happened. And there's a lot of things

492
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: that you know, that's the guy when I got there,

493
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: he was already developed already, you know. So my job was, hey,

494
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: number one, let's build a great relationship. Number two, let's

495
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: find a way to enhance some of the some of

496
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: the things that that needed from tweaking. And one of

497
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: the one of the best things Kyler does is pressman technique.

498
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: You know, when we find a way to improve that

499
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: and enhance it, and he is very, very consistent throughout

500
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: the year. And we really just broken down in three

501
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: different things. We talk about level one, level two, level three,

502
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Level ones. A lot of Strimmer's Level two is the

503
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: intermediate route. Level three is a deep bart the field.

504
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: If you go back and watch the state this past year. Now,

505
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: if you look at the stat sheet, you know there

506
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of stats on the deep bar of

507
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: the field. Well many of the reason. Part of the

508
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: reason is not a lot of teams are thrown at

509
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: him because he had his guys co Yeah. The one

510
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: thing that people wonder about him is, you know, what

511
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: happens when he's playing off what happens when he's playing

512
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: in the zone concepts. And because it's more reactive, you're not,

513
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, just relying largely on your physical ability as

514
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: you are when you're impressed, man, you have to react

515
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more. So. I'm not you know, I'm

516
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: not going to pretend to know how much zone you

517
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: guys played down there, or how much you asked him to,

518
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, participate in zone concepts, because maybe he was

519
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: just locking up the other team's best guy the whole game.

520
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that. Um, how would you feel he's

521
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, I know he's a student of the game,

522
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: but how do you feel his game translates to knowing

523
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: how to play off of his teammates in the secondary

524
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: and zone concepts and things like that. He'll be good

525
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: to go whatever the task has asked him, He's gonna

526
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: work at it, and to his vest of bilibility. Now

527
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: from a defensive thematic standpoint, you know, primarily we were

528
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: a Chris Man a man. A lot of our cores

529
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: was man match, a lot of our three deep was

530
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: man match. So that's what that's That was just what

531
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: we did. Now. At the same time, we did have

532
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: some Zonn concepts as well too, and I feel like

533
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna degrade at his own concept. You know, he

534
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: has excellent uh he plays the ball well in the

535
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: deep part of the field. He has a really good

536
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: field for wide receivers in the deep part of the field,

537
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: and I also think that's part one of the strengths

538
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: of his games, being able to play, you know, forty

539
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: forty five fifty yards away away from the lone of streamers,

540
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: not anakin in the deep part of the field versus

541
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So the answer the question, I don't think

542
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: that won't be an issue at all. We just particularly

543
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: asked him to play a lot of pressman a man

544
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: and we did sprinkle some off coverage and he'll be

545
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: good to go there. We have talked about how gifted

546
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: he is he's you know, big, he's a big athlete.

547
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: He's long and rangey at the corner spot and fast

548
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: and he's got all that. Talked to us a little bit.

549
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: We got a glimpse of it in some of the

550
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: pre draft processes. After the draft, they went back and

551
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: showed us what his interview was like in Indianapolis when

552
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: they had him in and what they talked about in

553
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: that interview. What kind of give us a night insight

554
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: is your relationship with him as a coach every day

555
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: when you see him coming in, how he affects other players,

556
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: what the other players think about him, and as you said,

557
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: he's really young for an NFL player coming out of

558
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: college at the age he is at twenty. Absolutely well,

559
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: I'll say that he lead by example and he's also

560
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: a vocal league. So for instance, you know, like I

561
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: talked about him and I having those one on one meetings,

562
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: and when we were having those one on one meetings,

563
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: he would pull out his notebook and he would be

564
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: writing notes down and he's the coach slow down and second,

565
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: I got to write that down. So as you're learning

566
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: about the guy that that's that's pretty impressive now, and

567
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't just for a show and then and then

568
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: we get into our position meetings. I mean he would

569
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: he would write down everything I stead or deepens coordinator

570
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: or secondary coach, whatever, whatever the whatever meeting were in.

571
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: He had his notebook and pen ready to go. And

572
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: and meanwhile, some of the lesser count guys wasn't always

573
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: taking the notes that they needed to. And here's a

574
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: guy that's a you know, projected you know, to NFL Prospect,

575
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: and he's taking out and he's taking all the notes.

576
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: So to me, that was really really impressive. And then

577
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: I saw the clippings up him putting out, pulling out

578
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: his notebook and showing the uh, the the scouts and

579
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: the general managers the type of notes that he took.

580
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: You know that that's that's true. That's that that is

581
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: a true statement. And those a lot of those things

582
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: that goes on the seen. And the last thing I'll

583
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: say about that is, you know, and before I trans

584
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: trans before I move forward, I'll also use that example

585
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: with my current players. You're at Temple, you know what

586
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Hey, when you're in the meeting room, write

587
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: the information down so you can go back and study

588
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: it and Kayer as a student of the game, and

608
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: the year, you know, I can remember one particulous Saturday.

609
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: You know, I had a recruit I had a recruit

610
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: end and I needed somebody to go hang out with him.

611
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: And I called Kayer around eight thirty nine o'clock say, hey,

612
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: well you mind taking this guy out for me. He's

613
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: a coach. You know, I'm gonna cleeve. I'm in the bed,

614
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: you know what. I'm trying to get my ready. I'm

615
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: trying to get my body ready for the following week. No.

616
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: So I'm just happy for the guy because as a

617
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: coach I've coached, and you work from Division two all

618
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: the way down to the Power five level, and it's

619
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: very seldom you run to a young man, you know,

620
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: with his character and his working Yeah. Well, listen, Jules,

621
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 1: we appreciate your painting the picture a little bit better

622
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: for us on Kaire. Good luck up there at Temple.

623
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: It's coming fall, all right, and we'll catch up with

624
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: you down the line. Thanks very much, Yester, Thank you mate.

625
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: You guys have a great one. Jules, I appreciate thanks.

626
00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: That's former Florida cornerbacks coach Jules Monton are now coaching

627
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: cornerbacks at Temple University, but pretty much spent every single

628
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: day of the football season last year as Kayer's position coach,

629
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: and I am not the least bit surprised that he

630
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: has ticked off that three corners are actually what was

631
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: it two corners? No, it was three. Three corners went

632
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: in front of him Trent McDuffie and then saw us

633
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: along with Derek Stingley. So he's mad that he was

634
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: the fourth corner taken off the board and he'll probably

635
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: write the number three in his locker or something. Brandon

636
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Bean did say after they drafted him that Kaier's personality

637
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: and approach to the game is very similar to that

638
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: of Tredevius. And I remember the first day Tredevious Scott

639
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: here and you know, he's kind of moving into his

640
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: locker and everything and it's OTAs and whatever, and he

641
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: stuck a picture of Hall of Fame gold jacket onto

642
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: the top of his locker and I said, I think

643
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: I know the answer to this todays, but why is

644
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: that there? He goes, that's to remind me that I'm

645
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: here to go to the Hall of Fame because I

646
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: want to be one of the best corners to ever play.

647
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: And Kaier said almost the same exact thing when he

648
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: got here at one Bill's Drive. Appreciate you drafted me.

649
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to be just great for this organization.

650
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: I want to be one of the greatest corners of

651
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: all time. So you see why Brandon Bean feels as

652
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: though this kid's got the same kind of approach to

653
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: the game. Very businesslike, very detail oriented, and very committed.

654
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: That usually spells success in this league, absolutely that, because

655
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: it takes a lot. It's hard for the young guys,

656
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: particularly guys of Kaier's age. He's twenty years old. Has

657
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: we've been talking about me. He's gonna turn twenty one

658
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: the next week or two, right, So it's hard for

659
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: them because you can imagine I mean, at a young age,

660
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: players like kai Yer and you know Tremaine Edmonds and

661
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: you know Greg Rousseau and these guys that are so

662
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: physically gifted. They're set apart at a young age and

663
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: they start, you know, advancing fast through the levels of football,

664
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: and they just do it because they're gifted. You know,

665
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: they're smart, they get the game, they have an awareness

666
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: of the game. So in that environment that they start

667
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: getting distilled out and more and more guys are like that,

668
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: and they even stand out amongst those guys. Right, you

669
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: get to a Power five school like Florida. There's a

670
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: lot of great athletes on that team, and that's why

671
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: they're there is because they're great athletes. It's hard to

672
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: make a connection for a lot of these young players.

673
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: That the connection comes to this when you start to

674
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: work really hard at it and you've got those gifts,

675
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: that's when you start to be thought of as an

676
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: NFL player. And then you know, then it goes beyond that.

677
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: You got to go to the right system. You got

678
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: to you gotta have a right head coach, you gotta

679
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 1: have the work ethic, you gotta have a good teammates

680
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: around you gotta have it. You got to continue to

681
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: build on your what you've done and get better at

682
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: it and make your hone your skill. You just got

683
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: to keep working and working and working. And then the

684
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: culmination of that later is is the stuff that Kayer's

685
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: talking about. You know, you get a gold jacket that

686
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of you get a busting canton. They don't make

687
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: the connection between the disconnect between what got them to

688
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: the Power five is not the same thing that's going

689
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: to get them to the NFL. And that's and that's

690
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: the thing that NFL scouting departments are trying to uncover

691
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: in each and everyone player when they vet them and

692
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: interview them and all of that stuff. Why do you

693
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: want to get to the NFL. If somebody says, well,

694
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, I want to support my family, that's fine,

695
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: that's that's a driving motivator. Sure, you know, and it's noble. Yeah,

696
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: some might say, you know, I just want to get

697
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: to the league. That's probably the wrong answer because now

698
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 1: the team is thinking, well, what happens when he gets

699
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: to the league. The work's just beginning when you get drafted. Yeah,

700
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: that's that's not a means to an end. That's his

701
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: that's his the end of his road. So that kind

702
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: of thing got to be the beginning, right. So that

703
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: kind of thing can send up red flags for some

704
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: NFL clubs because they're like, well, what he's gonna He's

705
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: just gonna sign his rookie contract and mail it in

706
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: from there, and that's not what we want. It's then

707
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: you hear a kid say I want to be the best,

708
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: one of the best to ever play the game. That

709
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: gets your attention because they are looking beyond getting drafted,

710
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: they're looking beyond making a fifty three man roster. Their level,

711
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: what their level of success it is in their mind

712
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: far exceeds what most people's are because they want to

713
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: be one of the best to ever do it. They're

714
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: getting that's rare air. Yeah, they're not getting compared to

715
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: the guys on their own on their own team, like, hey,

716
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: he's our best corner. That's great. They're getting compared to

717
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: guys who played twenty five years before they even showed up. Yeah. Um,

718
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a high bar and it's

719
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: also one that you'll never reach. The debate will be

720
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: on it even if you go to Canton. It will

721
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: be a debate that don't go goes on and on

722
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: and on. It's it's having goal. And I'll say this,

723
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: this all sounds really high. You know, this all sounds

724
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: like it's a little subtle difference between one with the

725
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: reasons the guys playing. Let me tell you something, it

726
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: makes all the difference. The motivation these guys have behind

727
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: what they do makes all the difference in the world.

728
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: It absolutely is the difference between being just a draft

729
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: pick and being an all time great guy, great player

730
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: not only for an organization but in the history of

731
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: the league all time. The difference between those guys is

732
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: virtually what goes on in their own mind, what keeps

733
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: them driving in the offseason. We are having a conversation

734
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: upstairs this morning about and I laugh when I say it.

735
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: I think back to Jim, and I think to Bruce,

736
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: and I think of Thurman Thomas and Andre Reid for

737
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, Hall of famers. I was laughing because all

738
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: of them have something in their personality that's a little

739
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: bit exaggerated, and that exaggeration inside their personality gave them

740
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: this motivation that they couldn't shake. Even to this day,

741
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: they can't shake it. They're the same guy somewhere in there.

742
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: You see guys like Jerry Rice and Walter Payton, and

743
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: these guys like Lawrence Taylor and the you know, these

744
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: great iconic names, even Aaron Rodgers the Games of the

745
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: current day, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady is a great example.

746
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: There's something in there. You get a guy like Tom

747
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: Brady who's made fifteen tons of cash and he's married

748
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: to a supermodel, he's got a beautiful bunch of kids happy.

749
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: That guy can't sleep if he's retired. Yeah, there's something

750
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: in there that keeps that guy. There's something in there

751
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: that he's got a burden that he has to carry

752
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: that he can't shake, and it you can. It sounds

753
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: a little creepy, and it is because there's something about

754
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: a guy who's made all the money, who's reached the

755
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: pinnacle and still can't let it go. But that's exactly

756
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: why he's at the pinnacle. That's right. That's why those

757
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: guys and that's why also too, Brownie. I've said a

758
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,479
Speaker 1: gazillion times, it rarely ends well for the really great

759
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: ones because they can't let it go. They can't let

760
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: it go. That's those are the kind of guys Brandon Bean, Malik,

761
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: Dan Morgan, Joe Shank, all these guys. That's why they're

762
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: looking for those guys. Yeah, and they're hard to find.

763
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: They're hard to find. We have to take a break

764
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: here when we come back the very interesting independent review

765
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: into the allegations made by former Brown's head coach Hugh Jackson.

766
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: They're claiming the allegations could not be substantiated. But at

767
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: the same time, the investigation never spoke to Hugh Jackson.

768
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: We'll dive into that next here. On one Bill's line

769
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: presented by a lot of health, it's Buffalo Bill's Radio. So,

770
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: following a sixty day independent review into comments made by

771
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: former Cleveland head coach Hugh Jackson, who claimed that the

772
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: Browns paid or otherwise provided incentives to lose games during

773
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen seventeen seasons when he was head coach,

774
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: former US Attorney an SEC Chair Mary Joe White and

775
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: a team of lawyers and I'm going to mispronounce this

776
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: from the Debavois firm determined that none of the allegations

777
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: could be substantiated. Now. They spoke to and interviewed owner

778
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslam, current and former members of the organization, and

779
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: coach Jackson initially agreed to sit down with them and

780
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: then ultimately decided not to do so. The firm did

781
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: have access to his public statements and his filings and

782
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: testimony in a prior arbitration proceeding, but all those thousands

783
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: of pages of documents, emails, texts, internal memos, and presentation

784
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: decks and other material, they basically decided there's nothing to

785
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: go on here. So, for those that don't remember, Hugh

786
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: Jackson kind of piggybacked the Brian Flores lawsuit and said, oh, yeah,

787
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: we did that up in Cleveland. We threw games, and

788
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, people got incentives for it. It was part

789
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: of our four year plan to like tank and high

790
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: draft picks, rebound and become a competitive team. So the

791
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: league didn't like how that sounded, so they decided to

792
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 1: investigate him, and ultimately they turned up nothing. They didn't Yeah,

793
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: they didn't say that the audigations weren't true. They just

794
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: said they couldn't be substantiated. So, yeah, where do you

795
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: go from here? And the Brian Flores suit is still pending.

796
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what's the latest time it's still going.

797
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 1: Haven't heard anything new on it. And let's not forget

798
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: Brian Flores is employed. He's an assistant coach with the Steelers,

799
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: so you know he's suing the league, suing the league

800
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: that's employing him. And he made this, he made serious

801
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 1: allegations about Stephen Ross. I'll say this, Miami fans should

802
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: be suing the Dolphins for fire and Brian Flores the

803
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: guy was making chicken salad. Yeah, and you know, not

804
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: to mention the fact that what did they finish eight

805
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: and one at the end of the last nine games.

806
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: I mean they finished strong. I mean certainly they got

807
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: off to they could not have gotten out to a

808
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: worst starting. They were crying. And I called it before

809
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: before they started this, I told you they were gonna

810
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 1: start five and one and five and they did jagging nabbitt.

811
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: I didn't know they're gonna start one and eight. I

812
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: can only take my prediction so far into the future, right,

813
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: But they turned it around and they started winning games

814
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: and Brian Flores playing hard for him despite all that

815
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: they did. And I'll say this too if if you

816
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: come into an organization and the Bills were no different. Now.

817
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: The Bills made it to the playoffs in their first

818
00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: year with Sean McDermott, but don't forget they still had

819
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: tons of roster development to go through and change out.

820
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: And he also took him two or three. It was

821
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: his third year before he got the coaching staff the

822
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: way he wanted it. That's true. So you'd think that

823
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: the same thing had to be true for Brian Flores,

824
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 1: and I think he got to I mean, as an owner,

825
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: don't you have to see that happening? And as a

826
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: as a coach, don't you say, yeah, we're gonna do

827
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, we need to keep evolving, and particularly guys

828
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: who were first time head coaches like McDermott and Flores,

829
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: where you got to say, okay, all right, you know

830
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: there's some that had to be fourth right, and and

831
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: the ownership has to know there's gonna be some things

832
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: this guy is to get under his belt before he

833
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: gets him right as a head coach. You know, I

834
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: just I just thought that firing was ridiculous. Yes, And

835
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: Stephen Ross is now battling a lawsuit on one front,

836
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: and then these allegations on another of illegally tampering with

837
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Right um, Wally was still under contract with

838
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: the Bucks, and then after he retired, he supposedly was

839
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: ready to sign him and make him part owner of

840
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, and then that all blew up super

841
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: Bowl Week because of the allegations that came out in

842
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: the Brian Flora's lawsuit, where presumably Brady said, Hey, you

843
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna step back, man. I don't want

844
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: to be naive, and I know there's gotta be a

845
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: you know, a rule book the size of an old

846
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'll date myself the size of a phone book.

847
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: There's gotta be a rule book for owners the size

848
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: of a phone book, not only on what happens on

849
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: the field, but off the field as well. That's what

850
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: they can and cannot do. And most of these owners

851
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 1: realize and this just in there. They may they're breaking

852
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: the rules of the league. They ain't breaking any laws.

853
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. Right, it's got to be the league and

854
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: the game issue. That's right, But it's the integrity of

855
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: the game is the only thing holding it together. And

856
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: that's the commissioner's job. So and and they're not set

857
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: up to enforce that. They're going to this law firm, Hey,

858
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: could you look into this for us. They're not set

859
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: up to We need to be independent and transparent. Yeah,

860
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: but they're not set up to enforce these rules. Everybody's

861
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: got to say, hey, listen, we ask you owners, keep

862
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: your people in line, tell them to follow the rules.

863
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: Other than that, there's no NFL police force going out

864
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, by the way, you were you were

865
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: made this phone call that's illegal. You can't call You

866
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: can't call Tom Brady, so stop that. They don't have that.

867
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 1: It's all on the honor system. And you're talking about

868
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: owners who are multi billionaires who can't feel like they

869
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: get what they want. Well, not only that, some of

870
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 1: them became billionaires by playing a little dirty at times.

871
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: Well we like to say that, but I don't know

872
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: about all of them did that. They certainly they're certainly struggling.

873
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: Some of them are struggling with it. Now. You look

874
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: the Washington commanders and all the stuff that's gone on

875
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: with them over the last handful of years. You gotta

876
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: think that when they're looking at the league rule book,

877
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: they're thinking, you know that there's you know, they're using

878
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 1: it as a trivet for a casserole dish. And there's

879
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: an allegation there by the House Oversight Committee that they

880
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: were kind of cooking their books, right, so at the

881
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: whole other ball of wax. So that's the point is

882
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: unless they cross the line legally, the rest of us

883
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: just breaking rules in a in a private sport. Nobody,

884
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's really got any purview except the commissioner,

885
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: and he does not he doesn't have, like I say,

886
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: he doesn't have an enforcement arm right because he works

887
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: for them in the grand scheme of things. Right, we

888
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: have to take a break here. When we come back,

889
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: it will be our final visit of the NFL off

890
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,360

Speaker 1: dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're

Speaker 1: Oh can Greg hear us? Or did he think? Okay? Um?

907
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,080

00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: He's still watching tape. That's why I am. I still

911
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: catching up on some guys I met. You are, all right,

912
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 1: so let go many? Um, all right, so let's begin here. Uh.

913
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 1: I figured we might as well start with your your

914
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: favorite pick maybe in the entire draft. Who knows, I don't.

915
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't just I couldn't ascertain whether you liked James

916
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: Cook or George Pickens more in this entire draft class.

917
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: So you can straighten us out on that, and then

918
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: you can get into Cook because people were saying, oh,

919
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: the bills, they didn't get a receiver on any of

920
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: the first two days. Uh, And I'm sitting here saying

921
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: they got a really good one. Yeah, exactly. Really, we're

922
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk about him too, Yeah, we will. One of

923
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: my favorite I know, Hey, I make a list. I

924
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys can see this. I make

925
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: a list of guys I really like when I watched,

926
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: because I normally get asked, well, who are the guys

927
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: you like? And if I don't make a list, I

928
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: can't remember since I watched too many guys. Right, So

929
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: three guys that were on my list of guys I

930
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: really liked, and of course I hope people understand I

931
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: do all this work before the draft, not after the draft,

932
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: so I don't know where guys are going to be drafted.

933
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: Three guys on my list are James Cook, Terrell Bernard,

934
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: and Kali Khalil Shakier. Oh, I'm just letting you know

935
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: that they look at that you guys that were on

936
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: my list of guys that I really like. So so anyway,

937
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm available. If Brandon Bean needs, you know, a

938
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: little help increase my investment portfolio a little bit, I'm

939
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: good to go independent contract. So Brownie and I were

940
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: talking before the show. We were we spent y the

941
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: whole show, it seemed like on Friday talking about James Cook.

942
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: And we had Greg on too, talking about and we

943
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: were talking to him about you do you about him?

944
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: And we didn't know. We had no idea. I didn't

945
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: know either. Who knows, Yeah, who knows? So all of

946
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: a sudden, there he is. They take him and after

947
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: trading back twice, we can claim genius. But back then

948
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 1: we had no idea. But this guy, I think it's important.

949
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: I think it's important that we claim genius. Steve. I mean,

950
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: I think it's important that I say I knew exactly

951
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: that they were going to take James Cook, and that's

952
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: why we spend all day talking about it. All right, now,

953
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: then enhance your genius and tell us why, well, no,

954
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: I think the key point and again it's not a

955
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: matter of being smart, but I think it's just you know, look,

956
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for a long time. I watched

957
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: the Bills obviously every single week, so I've studied their

958
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 1: offense in detail. It just struck me that James Cook

959
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: really fit what the Bills are offensively, because, as we

960
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: discussed last week, the Bills are not looking for a

961
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: bell cow back. They're not looking for a volume runner.

962
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 1: They're looking for an explosive player who again give them carries,

963
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: but can also be a significant factor in the past game.

964
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: And to me, they were two backs like that in

965
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: this draft, James Cook and was Shot White from Arizona State,

966
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: who the Bucks I believe took, but Cook was the

967
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: more explosive of the two. So that to me just

968
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: made conceptual sense understanding the Bill's offense and understanding the

969
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: player James Cook, right, and he even though he is

970
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: not a receiver in position listing, he unquestionably is going

971
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: to diversify this bill's passing game right, without question, without question.

972
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's again why this was such. You know,

973
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm not, like I said, I'm not going to sit

974
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: here and say wow, I knew I'm not. First of all,

975
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm not that guy. I don't pat myself on the back.

976
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 1: I just grind away. But I think about this stuff,

977
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: as you guys know, far more than I probably should.

978
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: But it just seemed to make conceptual sense. You know,

979
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: as the draft started to unfold, and you know, even

980
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: as we discussed over the last number of weeks, Chris,

981
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: as we were just going through players and trying to

982
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: put them in the context of the bill, it just

983
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: seemed to me to make tactical, schematic, conceptual sense. And

984
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 1: I asked you this Friday, and we had this conversation.

985
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: I want to have it once again. I'm gonna ask

986
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: you about this positionless football player. On both sides of

987
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: the ball, we've got guys that are hybrid safeties, hybrid linebackers.

988
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 1: These guys that move all around, have different skill sets,

989
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: that can blitz, they can cover and do all that.

990
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 1: On the offensive side, we don't see that as much.

991
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: Now we see a guy that maybe he's a bell

992
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: cow back and catch and running all that, but we

993
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: don't see guys that maybe can play wide out and

994
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: running back. Now we're seeing Deebo Samuel's he's kind of

995
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: doing that. So is Cordarell Patterson. They're using him that way,

996
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: and those guys are all of a sudden, these really

997
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 1: attention grabbing players around the league. That wow, what everybody wants. One.

998
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: Does James Cook have a chance at that in a

999
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: different way? I certainly not that size, but I think yes.

1000
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: I you know, one of the things that talking to

1001
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: offensive coaches as I do, you know friends of mine

1002
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: who coach in the league. One of the things I

1003
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: constantly hear about Steve, and I think this makes really

1004
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: good sense, is what are you trying to do for

1005
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: your quarterback. You're trying to have your quarterback, in a sense,

1006
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: win before the ball snap. In other words, give him

1007
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: as much information about the defense before the ball is snapped.

1008
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: We know that playing quarterbacks not easy, but you're trying

1009
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: to make it less difficult. And I think when you

1010
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: have players like this, and you can be more diverse

1011
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: formationally with certain kinds of players, the defense has to

1012
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: declare in many ways before the ball is snapped how

1013
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: they're going to play. And I think that's why players

1014
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: like this are so so important. I mean, we even

1015
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: see players like Cooper Cupp, who is a receiver, correct,

1016
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: but we've seen him at times line up offset in

1017
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: the backfield. What it does, and you know this steve

1018
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: from having played with a team that you know, it

1019
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: was one of the early no huddle teams. I guess

1020
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: Sam which did it before you, guys, but you were

1021
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: one of the earlier no huddle teams lined up and played.

1022
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: Is the defense can't communicate as much, the defense can't

1023
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: do as many things, and they line up in what

1024
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: coaches call their default defense. And every coach knows what

1025
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: the default defense of the opponent is. And that's what

1026
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: these kinds of players do. They put the defense in

1027
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: a position where all that communication and adjustment kind of

1028
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: goes out the window, and you have to line up

1029
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: in a default defense just so you can play right.

1030
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: One of the other guys on your card, Torell Bernard,

1031
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, goes in wheels with pick eighty nine. And

1032
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: while I think he's unquestionably a really strong, you know,

1033
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: diagnosed type linebacker, you look at his measurables and you

1034
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: translate them to the NFL. And I gotta believe Greg,

1035
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: if you want him to be as productive as you

1036
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: think he can be, you're going to really have to

1037
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: keep him clean from offensive lineman climbing to the second level.

1038
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: You gotta have some good defensive tackles so he can

1039
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: just go run and hit and not get caught up

1040
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: on blocks. Because at two hundred nineteen pounds at the

1041
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: second level of defense, I think that's gonna be true.

1042
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: Not that he's playing linebacker here anytime soon, but if

1043
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: he ever does, I kind of think you're the only

1044
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: way to get the most out of what he can

1045
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: do is by keeping him clean. Yeah, and you know,

1046
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: I know at the Combine he was two twenty four.

1047
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what his actual playing weight is as

1048
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: we know, this guy's changed for the Combine. But you know,

1049
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: I think that he's actually a pretty intriguing player. I

1050
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: thought that he could end up being a multi alignment

1051
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: linebacker that could play both in your nickel and in

1052
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: your bass. You know, I think that he can play.

1053
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: I think his past coverage improved dramatically as the season progressed.

1054
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: He's a very, very good Blitzer and was used in

1055
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: that role at Baylor, So I actually the more I

1056
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: watched him, and I ended up watching a lot of

1057
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: Baylor because they had they a couple of guys. I

1058
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: think they had three or four guys in this draft. Um.

1059
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't call him elite explosive, but I think

1060
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: there's he's got the overall movement, trades to make plays

1061
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: outside the box. As I said, he improved in past coverage. UM,

1062
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I really liked the player. The injury

1063
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: history was probably a factor for some teams, but he

1064
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,919
Speaker 1: was to me a really good prospect. Is he? And

1065
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to put you on

1066
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: the spot by referencing the Bills roster, but I mean

1067
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: you've got Matt Milano and and still in the fold

1068
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: who's a kind of an undersized guy who's a coverage linebacker,

1069
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: runs and hits. And then also he's here in replacement

1070
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: it seems, at least in numbers wise to Aj Klein,

1071
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: who had moments here in Buffalo as a as a starter.

1072
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: Because of injuries and all that, How does how does

1073
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Bernard fit into those kind of slots with what the

1074
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Bills have on the roster and the roles they need filled.

1075
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: If injury happens, well, I would think in an ideal world, Steve,

1076
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: they would like Bernard to become that third linebacker. We

1077
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: know that this team is a nickel team. I mean

1078
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: last year, with the exception of a very few games

1079
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: where they clearly played bass personnel offenses, they were literally

1080
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: a nickel on every snap. They had the highest percentage

1081
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: of nickel defense in the NFL a year ago. So

1082
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: this is a team that plays with two linebackers. I

1083
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: would expect that they would see Bernard. I mean, a

1084
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: third round pick is not a throwaway pick, so I

1085
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: would I would expect that they would see Bernard as

1086
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 1: becoming a J Klein at some point. And who knows

1087
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: when that happens. But obviously Milano signed. I guess we

1088
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: have to wait and see what's Edmund's status in this

1089
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: fifth year option year, right, So I mean they'll make

1090
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: a decision obviously on him at some point I would

1091
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: imagine sooner than later. But the point is I would

1092
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: think they would they would hope Bernard, assuming Edmunds is

1093
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: still there, that he would become that third guy who

1094
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: if there was an injury to let's say that Bernard

1095
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: could fill that role. Now he's not going to fill

1096
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: that role tomorrow, but that maybe with coaching, with experience,

1097
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: that he could become that kind of player. And then

1098
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: we had Brandon being in studio yesterday and I said,

1099
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakier must have really been sticking out on your

1100
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: board if you're going to make a move twenty spots

1101
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: up the board to go get him, and he said yeah.

1102
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: He said, actually, we probably would have taken him had

1103
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: we kept our fourth round pick at one thirty instead

1104
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: of drafting him near the top of the fifth round. So,

1105
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: and Brandon also said, Greg, I think you'll find this

1106
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: interesting that he envisions him as a number four in

1107
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: their wide receiver room and capable of backing up all

1108
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: three spots, which is the exact same role that Gabriel

1109
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Davis had as a rookie. Here. Yeah, I mean, I

1110
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: love Shaquier's tape. I mean I really did, so, Brandon

1111
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: being and I would agree on this. Now, in twenty

1112
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: twenty one, seventy percent of his receptions came out of

1113
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: the slot. I would imagine some evaluators and teams saw

1114
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: him solely as a slot. And I personally think he's

1115
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that could roll out of bed

1116
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow and line up in the slot in the NFL.

1117
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: But he's not small. He's six feet one ninety six,

1118
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: so he can play outside as well, And it wouldn't

1119
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: surprise me at all. And you, well, you just answered

1120
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: the question if they see him as someone who can

1121
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: line up both outside and in the slot. And I

1122
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: did say in my transition notes that he has the

1123
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: versatility to line up in multiple locations within the formation,

1124
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: so he's versatiles. To me, he was a refined and

1125
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: detailed route runner that showed separation quickness, has outstanding body

1126
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: control and hands run after catch, and this kid is

1127
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: super competitive. I really liked his tape. I have seen him,

1128
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: and I don't, as you guys know, I don't do

1129
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: draft boards and say what round I think a guy

1130
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: should go in. But I easily could have seen him

1131
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: as better than a fifth round pick. And what jumped

1132
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: out at you? I mean we always see, you know,

1133
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: when when we go to look at these guys there,

1134
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: it's all highlights. Yeah, but he's got some circus type catches. Yeah. Well,

1135
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: if you're asking me, Steve, what stood out? Yeah? I

1136
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: would say what stood out was body control and hands. Um,

1137
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, he showed the ability to make catches that

1138
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: did not seem possible. Um, so you know that that

1139
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: really really stood out. Plus the other thing I would

1140
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: say would be his competitiveness. So those two things really

1141
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: stood out to me. What about of comparing him to

1142
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: a pro that has been on the Bills roster, a

1143
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: guy like uh like Cole Beasley, UH, slot guys like

1144
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie, certainly different kinds of skill sets. What stands

1145
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: out in contrasting those guys. I think he's different. Well,

1146
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: he's more versatile. I mean Beasley Beasley was almost your

1147
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of quintessential slot guy. I mean obviously on the

1148
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: Bills there were times he did line up outside, but

1149
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: he was, to me, and I think to most kind

1150
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: of the quintessential slot guy. Um, he's not quite as

1151
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: big as Gabriel Davis, but I mean you're getting you're

1152
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: getting Shakiir who can line up anywhere. Davis, who can

1153
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: line up anywhere. And from what I understand, and you

1154
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: guys would know this better than I, I understand that

1155
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis is incredibly smart and really can do anything

1156
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: you can give him anything and he can do it. Um.

1157
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:33,479
Speaker 1: I really like Shakiir's tape an awful lot um. So

1158
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, I when when when I saw the list

1159
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,959
Speaker 1: of who the Bills drafted, um, you know, and saw

1160
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: them draft these guys, especially when they took Bernard, which

1161
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: I guess was Friday night because that was round three,

1162
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: and then when I saw them take Shakiir, I was

1163
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I was really happy because again, the only way I

1164
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: can judge this is based on my evaluation. That's the

1165
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: only way I can do it, not what others say

1166
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: or where they think they should go. You know, after

1167
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: your draft guys, to me, where you think they should

1168
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: go becomes meaningless. If all these guys turn out to

1169
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: be good players, that's all they care about. Oh yeah, exactly. Now,

1170
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: their last pick in the draft was a guy who

1171
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: has similar measurables and similar it would seem similar skill

1172
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 1: set to Bernard in Bail inspector. Yeah, I don't think

1173
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: he's as good as Bernard, And I know what you're saying.

1174
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, I think that, you know, he's one of

1175
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: those He struck me as just a really good college linebacker.

1176
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a meaning way. I

1177
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: mean He's a steady, rock solid stack backer. He's got

1178
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: really strong, key and diagnosed traits. He's super competitive. He

1179
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: was kind of an early down run defender and underneath

1180
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: his zone coverage defender. They used him as a blitzer

1181
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: at times at Clemson. He doesn't quite possess the traits

1182
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: you'd ultimately like to see, which, by the way, is

1183
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: the reason he's a seventh round pick. I mean, I'm

1184
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: not knocking him. He was a seventh round pick. That's

1185
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: what happens. He's not a great athlete. He doesn't have

1186
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: great play strength. While his inside out, sideline to sideline

1187
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: play speed and range would be good, it's not special.

1188
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: So all these are reasons why he's a seventh round pick.

1189
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I would find it hard to view him as a

1190
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: higher level starter, you know. I guess if you had

1191
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: to play him, because he's super competitive and super tough

1192
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: physically and mentally, could you line him up. I'm sure

1193
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: you could. But I think when all's said and done,

1194
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: he's probably going to be one of your better special

1195
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: teams players and a guy if you had to put

1196
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: him out there, he would understand what his assignments are

1197
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: and execute them. He's just not at a high enough

1198
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: level athletically to do that, you know, snap after snap,

1199
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: week after week. So what are the if you look

1200
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: at his abilities he is as a seventh round draft pick.

1201
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Give me and your knowledge about looking around the National

1202
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Football League and on all the rosters. Is he on

1203
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: a fifty three men at the end of the day,

1204
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 1: do you think? Well? Again, I don't watch special teams Steve,

1205
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: but my guess is he'd be a core special teams player,

1206
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, because he's a linebacker, so he can run

1207
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean he ran a four six forty,

1208
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: which is not bad at all. So my guess is

1209
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: he could end up being a core special teams player.

1210
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: And those guys, as you know, way better than I.

1211
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: So I'm not you know, but those guys are very

1212
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,680
Speaker 1: important on rosters, and I think he could be one

1213
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: of those guys and then be a backup linebacker. Okay, still, Greg,

1214
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,679
Speaker 1: The important thing we need to know on that card

1215
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: who was number one? I mean, first of all, did

1216
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: you like, oh I didn't do it? But did you

1217
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: like I didn't do it number one? Number two? I

1218
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: just did it as I was watching guys, you know,

1219
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: So like I'll give you an example, because a lot

1220
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: of these guys, other than seeing you know, games on Saturday, Chris,

1221
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: during the season itself. You know, when I'm not taking notes,

1222
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,799
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting at home zoning out watching college football.

1223
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Saturday was my only semi zone

1224
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 1: out day during the season because I'd work in the

1225
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: mornings and then go home and Watson college football. So, like,

1226
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: Daxton Hill was a guy who ended up being a

1227
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: first round pick, and other than seeing Michigan on TV

1228
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: four or five times during the season, I didn't really

1229
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: know Daxton Hill. So when I put his tape on,

1230
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: I was, Wow, this guy. I thought he was one

1231
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: of the better prospects in the entire draft, not just

1232
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, not just for safety slash slot corner. You

1233
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,679
Speaker 1: want some other name. I put down George Pickens. Of course,

1234
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: I actually put down a guy that is that a

1235
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: team in your division is getting a lot of grief

1236
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: for ty Kwon Thornton. I thought ty Kwon Thornton was

1237
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: a really good prospect, and yeah, obviously the Patriots are

1238
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: getting a ton of grief for that. I think it's

1239
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: because of where they drafted him, maybe more than anything else.

1240
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: Fast didn't have him that high, I guess for whatever reason. Yeah,

1241
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: and what did you think about the Patriots? This? And

1242
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: I know this, you know, I'm just saying Cole Strange.

1243
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: And you know I saw some videos of their draft

1244
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: room and the one guy I didn't see. So he's

1245
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: the only guy in the first three rounds. Believe it

1246
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,600
Speaker 1: or not, I did not see. Seriously, believe that the

1247
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: only I didn't see from what we from what we

1248
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: heard about what even people inside the pack. I mean

1249
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything. But they put out a video

1250
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: of the war room of their draft room when they

1251
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: drafted Cole Strange in New England. The I don't know

1252
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: who the guy is, but he handed Bill Belichick the

1253
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: phone and he looked like he was gonna puke, handing

1254
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 1: the phone to Bill Belichick to tell this kid that

1255
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: they drafted him in the first round. Even look at him.

1256
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he could say this. First of all. Of course,

1257
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: people are saying it's a terrible pick because they said

1258
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: they could have gotten him in the fourth round, which

1259
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: no one knows. Now I'm not suggesting, I don't. I

1260
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: never know the answer to those questions. Maybe it's true,

1261
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 1: but I remember when the same thing happened, and you'll

1262
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,919
Speaker 1: remember this. The same thing happened when they drafted Logan Mankins,

1263
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: and Logan Mankins turned out to be a pretty good player,

1264
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: and no one said, you know, after three, four or

1265
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 1: five years, well, gee, they could have gotten him in

1266
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: the round, in the third round, because the guy turned

1267
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 1: out to be an All Pro and a ten year,

1268
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: really solid anchor of what was a really good all eye.

1269
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 1: So again, I don't I didn't watch Cole Strange, like

1270
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: I said, the only guy I didn't watch of the

1271
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: first three rounds, So I can't speak to what kind

1272
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: of player he is. I can tell you one offensive

1273
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 1: line coach who's been doing this for thirty years who's

1274
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine, loved Cole Strange. Loved him. Okay,

1275
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: well that's the thing. No matter who you draft, where

1276
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: you draft them, if they're successful, you did the right thing.

1277
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah right, nobody care. It doesn't and nobody cares. I mean,

1278
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: it all comes out and the watch and if you

1279
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: if you cut them, everybody says I was a bust.

1280
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: You always you know, there's always draft picks that are busting.

1281
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: So it's really it becomes moot on both sides of

1282
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: the issue, whether they're successful or not. It's really it's

1283
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: we get so wrapped up and because it's that season

1284
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: and you think, man, and you know that some of

1285
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: these guys are going to turn out to be fantastic players.

1286
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: But that's the frustrating part about it. Nobody even bothers

1287
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: to go back and grade these drafts back, you know,

1288
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 1: years later, when you really could make a judgment call.

1289
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, let's say Cole Strange just and

1290
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 1: I know we're running short here. Let's say Cole Strange

1291
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 1: becomes a really good player and becomes an All Pro.

1292
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: You know what happens in three or four years. Every year,

1293
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 1: what happens is somebody goes back and says, let's redo

1294
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: the twenty and twenty two drafts, right, and then they'll

1295
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:27,799
Speaker 1: they'll put Cole Strange is the twentieth player in the draft.

1296
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: You know, so these are But again the flip side

1297
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,520
Speaker 1: is then people argue, all they don't understand the process

1298
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 1: of the draft. Well, I'm not sure Bill Belichick is

1299
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: interested in the process of the draft. I think he's

1300
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 1: interested in improving his football team, right, And they have

1301
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,679
Speaker 1: a certain way of going about that that might run,

1302
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 1: might not run parallel to the way a lot of

1303
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: other teams do it. And I think that's why. You

1304
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 1: know what, Look, every team, you guys know this. Every

1305
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: team has good picks and bad picks. I look back

1306
01:12:57,960 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: on some of my notes every once in a while

1307
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: and I go, oh, my god, that's what I said

1308
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: about that guy. He was out of the league in

1309
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: three years. Everybody's right and everybody's wrong. It's still with

1310
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: all the analytics, with all the sports science, it still

1311
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: comes down to human beings evaluating human beings. Well, we're

1312
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: glad that you evaluated all the human beings you did

1313
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: to get us ready for the draft and to review

1314
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 1: the Bill's draft class. There's a good chance you may

1315
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 1: need a new prescription though, after all that film viewing,

1316
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 1: so I think I do. I probably will. I'm gonna

1317
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: forge to the I actor, but I'm gonna take James

1318
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: Cook with me for the next number of weeks. I'm

1319
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: telling you that, you know that was pure genius I

1320
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: thought on my part. Don't you agree, guys unequivocally. That's

1321
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 1: why we're not going to talk to you again until

1322
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: June July. All right, enjoy yoursellmer, Greg. We'll catch up

1323
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:47,679
Speaker 1: with you as we get closer to the regular season.

1324
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: All right, guys are really enjoyed it. Thanks, all right,

1325
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: take care. That's NFL Films, Greg co Sell, senior producer.

1326
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: And I think he said as we got to the

1327
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: draft last week that he looked at almost two hundred prospects.

1328
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 1: And it's one thing to watch a five minute highlight

1329
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: reel of a guy. This guy watches five games right

1330
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: of each of these prospects. And the funny thing is,

1331
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: can you imagine how many times over he watched the

1332
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: Georgia defense. Think about that, the same game over and

1333
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's looking at a different guy. But it's

1334
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,640
Speaker 1: like my eyes would fall out of my head. I

1335
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 1: don't know how the scouting department does it. How do

1336
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:32,680
Speaker 1: you just? I would fall asleep? You have and they

1337
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: and I and I've done that just watching film. Getting

1338
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 1: ready for the draft is a broadcast forget about being

1339
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 1: a scout, right And I mean, and I know this too.

1340
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 1: It's they know more about what they're looking for and

1341
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: looking to see. And I had coaches like this. And

1342
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: when you're talking about getting ready to play a team,

1343
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: when you go back and look at the film, you're

1344
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: you're running you're running a playback and back and back,

1345
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: and you're walking and you just want to slap the

1346
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 1: remote out of the guy's hand. And because you've watched

1347
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: the same play fifty times already and you've only seen

1348
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: three seconds of it. Yeah right, So, um, it's a

1349
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: it's a thing, and it's it's a little bit of

1350
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: a science, it's a little bit of art. But it's tedious.

1351
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: I mean it is. It is beyond tedious, and it's

1352
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: got to be in your bloodstream or otherwise you you know,

1353
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: you just wouldn't do it. With all the people we've

1354
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: talked to you about the Bill's draft class, I feel

1355
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: this way, the sure thing is I know there's no

1356
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: sure things, but as close as you can get, the

1357
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: sure thing is Elam. The gem might be Cook, and

1358
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: the sleeper is Shakir. I know, we graduate, we gravitate

1359
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 1: to the skill position players, and Bernard might be the

1360
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: most pleasant surprise. So the top four picks pretty dang good, right,

1361
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:50,679
Speaker 1: I don't they haven't done anything on the field yet,

1362
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, here's a sleeper. Shakir is gonna be a guy,

1363
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: that is, and he's got one of those styles. When

1364
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: you see him run, you know it's him immediately, you

1365
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean, He's got one of those strides

1366
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: that you've seen other guys have where he's you know,

1367
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 1: just his posture and the way he runs is going

1368
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 1: to be really, really distinct, and you'll be able to

1369
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 1: recognize it. I thought Greg described it perfectly. He made

1370
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: some catches that you didn't even think were possible. Right, Like,

1371
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: he's spin it. He's doing a one eighty in the

1372
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: air like a pirouette like a dancer does, and he's

1373
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: snaring the ball with one hand with a guy on

1374
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 1: him as he's falling out of bounds, and he makes

1375
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: the catch with the one hand and you know, gets

1376
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 1: the foot down. It's just he had like five of those. Yeah,

1377
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 1: I was just like, who is this guy? That's the thing.

1378
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 1: A slot receiver is always in traffic. He's always in

1379
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: tight spots, and you're always gonna have to make catches

1380
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, think about the catches we've seen

1381
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley make over the years. You know, you're just

1382
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 1: hearing buffalo. That's what's got a bigger catch radius than him.

1383
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 1: That's what they do. The ball just when you throw

1384
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: it to him, it's a catch and that's you know,

1385
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: as simple and as unspectacular set sounds, you never drop them.

1386
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: That's hard to do. Break time for us here. When

1387
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get some of your thoughts on

1388
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. As we were asking you if you

1389
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: saw any other positions you might want to fortify on

1390
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo's roster. It's probably as complete roster as you're gonna

1391
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: find in the NFL. But if you're nitpicking a little

1392
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: bit and you want it to shore something up a

1393
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: little bit more to your liking, you can let us

1394
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 1: know what you think that is and we'll check some

1395
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: of your tweet sheet comments next here on One Bill's Live,

1396
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: presented by a lot of health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1397
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: We welcome back One Bills Live is the show. Chris Brown,

1398
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, and we asked you on the

1399
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: twitter poll today, are there any remaining holes? And we're

1400
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: nitpicking here because this is about one of the most

1401
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 1: complete rosters in football, any positions you feel you'd like

1402
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: to see the Bills fortify before they get to the

1403
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,799
Speaker 1: regular season in the fall, coming out of the draft.

1404
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: So we go to the tweet sheet now, which is

1405
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,480
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1406
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and jack says, I'm

1407
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: in favor of adding a VET at Corner on an

1408
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: affordable contract. Not that I think Elam and Jackson can't

1409
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: handle the job, but they're young, and in case Trey

1410
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: isn't ready or missus time, it's nice to have another

1411
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: VET in the group. I think Bryce Callahan is now

1412
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: healthy and could be a nice edition. Anythink about Corner,

1413
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: we asked We asked Brandon about that yesterday. He was

1414
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: a little lukewarm because they don't have a lot of

1415
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 1: cap space. It would have to be at the bills price,

1416
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: not the player's price. Not that anybody out in free

1417
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: agency really has much of a choice right now, right,

1418
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna get a guy you can get.

1419
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some guys available as well. And if

1420
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: you look, but think about this as well, if you're

1421
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk about veterans, they've already got Tim Harris is

1422
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: in the full, twenty nine year old from Virginia. He's

1423
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,640
Speaker 1: been around for a while, although he's only got two

1424
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 1: years experience, he's been around, he's bounced around. Other than that,

1425
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. You want a veteran who

1426
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: has started games, Yeah, I'd rather How do you feel

1427
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,639
Speaker 1: comfortable plugging in the whole room, their whole cornerback room

1428
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 1: aside from Kaier, the whole room are veterans in this defense,

1429
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 1: the whole room, Sir Rand Neil Tradevious White, Nick McCleod,

1430
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: cam Lewis, Terren Johnson, Dane Jackson, and Elijah Griffin. All

1431
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: of them have got a year under their belt in

1432
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 1: this defense. That to me is a bunch of guys

1433
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: who know what's going on out there. And you know

1434
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 1: it's partic if they're the right kind of guys are

1435
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: getting better. Tim Harris, the veteran who came over, he's

1436
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,679
Speaker 1: the only one who doesn't. I like that room pretty well.

1437
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,719
Speaker 1: And that doesn't even put those guys I mentioned, doesn't

1438
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: even include Kayer. Yeah, so I like the You're right,

1439
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, good players make you better, no question about it.

1440
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: So if you can find one that supplants one of

1441
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: these guys, fine, But I'm not too afraid of any

1442
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: of the cornerback room now, particularly with Kaire in the room.

1443
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm that guy's gonna be lining up on

1444
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: day on week one and he's gonna be right in

1445
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: the face of whoever it is. So I'm I'm okay

1446
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: with where they're at. Certainly that you can, if you

1447
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: can find a good player at any position, sign him

1448
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: because they make you better. But I don't know that

1449
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: I would corner as the place I would go. Brian says,

1450
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: maybe another center. Morris is susceptible to concussions and his

1451
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 1: one bad one away from a possible earlier retirement. Ryan

1452
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: Bates is essentially your backup center now. He had been

1453
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: a backup at that position. John Feliciano, though, was the

1454
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: backup center for all intents and purposes, but he's in

1455
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 1: New York now with the Giants, and so at least

1456
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 1: right now, by default, Ryan Bates is probably your backup center.

1457
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 1: I believe Greg Mans free agent signing, has played some

1458
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: center in his career. How much I don't exactly remember

1459
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, but I believe he's

1460
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: lined up there, so it would appear as though there

1461
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 1: are some options there seven years. Man's is a seven

1462
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: year guy as well, so he's been around. But you've

1463
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: got yeah, Bates is really the only other guy listed

1464
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: behind Morris and Man's as a center possibility, and he

1465
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 1: got Roger Staffold Jacob Capra as guards as a guard

1466
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 1: and Ike Butcker, I mean, I suppose if you've really

1467
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: feel you need another center. But they like guys can

1468
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: play two positions, especially if they're a backup. So if

1469
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,639
Speaker 1: Bates ends up being the starter guard, maybe that changes

1470
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: things a little bit. It didn't. Wall Feliciano was here

1471
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: serving as the backup center and a starting guard, so

1472
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that'll change. Christopher on the tweet

1473
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 1: sheet says, with a fairly complete roster, i'd say interior

1474
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: old lineman is the remaining spot where depth is needed,

1475
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: not necessarily holes to be filled. It's gonna be interesting, Steve,

1476
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 1: because they drafted Luke Tanuda late in the draft. He's tall.

1477
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: He's not long in the arms, but he's tall and

1478
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: almost at six eight, he's too tall to play guard,

1479
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: so you would assume he's a swing tackle type. That's

1480
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: how Brandon being described him. So he'll probably compete with

1481
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:47,640
Speaker 1: Tommy Doyle. Be interesting to see if one of the

1482
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:51,479
Speaker 1: undrafted signings is an interior alignment, you know what I mean,

1483
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: Not that they're necessarily a lock to make this right

1484
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: kind of doubt it because they got Kesson Berry as well.

1485
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: They do have Kessonberry. They can play guard. I mean

1486
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: he can play guard despite his height. But yeah, eight,

1487
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: you say, despite his height, you got Manuda, Tanda Brown, Doyle,

1488
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: and Kesson Berry. All of them are six seven plus. Yeah.

1489
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,680
Speaker 1: The trees, man, it's the trees. It is. They're huge,

1490
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: all these guys. Eric Romer Kromer said he's never coached

1491
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 1: a six eight guy before this year. Now he's got

1492
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: three of them. Seriously, No, I know, I don't know

1493
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: what what difference it makes coaching six eighth guy. Maybe

1494
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 1: they do teach things a little differently. You got a

1495
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: more hit, more knee bend. I don't know, different sets.

1496
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. But man, oh man, he has never

1497
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 1: coached one night he's got three of them. Yeah, I

1498
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: would imagine most of those guys will line up at

1499
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 1: the tackle spot. But Kesson Berry has played guard before,

1500
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: so I think he might only be six five six six.

1501
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 1: I say, only listen. I saw him out at practice today.

1502
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: He's a tree. He's a big He's a big un Uh.

1503
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 1: Andrew on the tweet sheet says, I think they're good.

1504
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean there's always room for improvement. But what they

1505
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: have in place right now, they're set. Yeah, we had

1506
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: Brandon and he said, we got eighty four guys. We

1507
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: got you know, six spots. We can play around with

1508
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:21,600
Speaker 1: you six guys. He was anticipating signing nine undrafted to

1509
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: make it eighty four. It isn't eighty four. It will

1510
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: be what they's They are set. Um, you could start

1511
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: training camp anytime. They're ready to go. I mean that, Uh,

1512
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: it's hard. And I'll say I can't overstate the fact

1513
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 1: that when they drafted Kayer Elam and I started getting

1514
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: to know who he was, I was like, Wow, that's

1515
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: they're good to go. I got a lot of confidence

1516
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 1: in him. He's has profiled on what we've heard from

1517
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 1: him and seen from him really gives me a lot

1518
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 1: of confidence that he's And I know they're like you said,

1519
01:24:57,760 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 1: they're no sure thing, but man, old man, what a

1520
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: safe pick he has been. You know, Um, he's like

1521
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: Tredavious White. So I'm and then there's just no other

1522
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: needs that are really glaring. I mean, people forget they

1523
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: signed Roger Saffold and Keson Berry and that plus the

1524
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,679
Speaker 1: guy five guys that finished the season last year starting

1525
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 1: so um, yeah, you got really gotta you gotta sit

1526
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: here and scratch your head and say, okay, where else

1527
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: can we do this? You know where else can we

1528
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 1: add some depth? O? J? Howard Good and grief. I

1529
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: got a tight end coming back with Tommy Doyle and Knox,

1530
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:50,480
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie, Jamison Crowder, Khalil Shakier, Gabe Davis, Hodgens, Stevenson,

1531
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Steph Diggs, yea, Mark Quez Stevenson, Um, I

1532
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: don't see yeah, what are you gonna go? T I mean,

1533
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 1: let's go, let's let's sift it out and let's go. Yeah.

1534
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: RJ says. The only hole I can think of would

1535
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: be Poyer's contract signed him up for four years, thirty

1536
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 1: to thirty five million. Hopefully it gets done once all

1537
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: the cuts are made. Other than that, I'd say a

1538
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,679
Speaker 1: veteran corner would be nice. Joe Hayden or a J. Boyer.

1539
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: If the Poyer contract doesn't happen, get a big vet

1540
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: old line him go well, I got news for you

1541
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 1: four years for thirty five million. That's an insult right now,

1542
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 1: because there would be less than he's getting right now.

1543
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 1: Right his average annual salary is nine and three quarters.

1544
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: You want to pay him less than nine on the

1545
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:36,679
Speaker 1: high end. That's hence the problem that they just signed

1546
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: a last I washed up. Tyron Matthew just signed an

1547
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,559
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars a year deal in eight and eighteen

1548
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 1: of it's guaranteed. And he's two years younger than Jordan Poyer, Right,

1549
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:54,759
Speaker 1: he's two years younger. So you're gonna give Jordan Poyer

1550
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,479
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew money. Now, I don't think so. I don't

1551
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: think so. I mean he's making they just he just

1552
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 1: signed the deal like a year and a half ago.

1553
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:07,719
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, and what changed, well is I don't

1554
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 1: think his play changed, but I'll say what the recognition

1555
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,280
Speaker 1: he got certainly did first team All Pro. He was

1556
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: probably like, hey, and we've we've been saying it on

1557
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 1: this show, and everybody in Bills and you know, Bill's

1558
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: mafia been saying anything. Poyr and Hide have been playing

1559
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 1: at all pro level for three years now, three or

1560
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: four years. It's just they've been Yeah, now somebody noticed, um,

1561
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: and that's what's changed. We have to take a break here,

1562
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 1: Steve and I one more segment to go. We'll have
