1
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live, presented by Called Light of Health. Hey,

2
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: how the heck are you? It's a Tuesday here on

3
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as usual,

4
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: and we are just working our way into the off

5
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: season here, and we have some off season questions about

6
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: the Bills, as you know, we'll get to those in

7
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: short order. We also have the respite week between the

8
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Championship weekend and the Super Bowl weekend, which you know,

9
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs is welcomed knowing they've got to give

10
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: all kinds of treatment to Patrick mahomes ankle. But uh,

11
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be subject number one for the next

12
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: twelve days. What does his ankle look like? Is his

13
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: ankle talking? What did his ankle say about? Pretty? Oh

14
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: my gosh, we're gonna be inundated with that for the

15
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: better part. That's a non story. Well I don't know

16
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: that it's a non story because depending on the severity

17
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: of the high ankle sprain that Mahomes is dealing with,

18
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: those can take four to six weeks sometimes to fully heal. Um,

19
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: he played all right, yeah he did, but just for

20
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, but there's nothing in the Super Bowl He's

21
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: playing against the team that led the league in sex

22
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: with seventy, so that's not nothing. I think it will

23
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: be an issue. I think there's better storylines between like

24
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: Travis and Jason Kelsey that brothers are playing against each other.

25
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: And also this is the Andy Reid Bowl. Andy Reid coach.

26
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Both these clubs, both of them got to Super Bowls

27
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid and where the Eagles never won one

28
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: with Andy. There was a thing I was looking at

29
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: and they said, what you know, ye the all star

30
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: defense for the Kansas City Chiefs against the All Star

31
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: offense for Andy Reid in Philly. Who would win? And

32
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: of course the joke is that neither won because Andy

33
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: would mess up the clock management at the end of

34
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: the game. So that would you know? That sounds very

35
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia exactly exactly. So this is there's a lot of

36
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: storylines on this and I get it. Mahomes is, you know,

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be the MVP of the league and

38
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: him going in not one hundred percent is something. But

39
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: tell me again, exactly how many yards that guy through? Four? Oh? Yeah?

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: He was over three twenty six and two touchdowns and

41
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: no interceptions. Rating rating of one oh five point four. Yeah,

42
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: he's he'll be all right with two weeks rest. Come on, man,

43
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: all right, I hope. I mean that may be you

44
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: may be able to build in a an excuse. But

45
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: do you know that Andy Reid has now coached in

46
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: ten conference championship games, ten five for each team. It's

47
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: a lot five in a row, well, five in a

48
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: row for the Chiefs, four in a row for the Eagles,

49
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: and then he had a fifth that was not consecutive,

50
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: but ten championship games. Dude, that's big. That's pretty rare.

51
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: That's a fat number. That's really we went to five

52
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: out of seven, but five in a row. Yeah, it's

53
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: a fat number. And he and it's interesting because you

54
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: look at the teams he took and Philly hadn't been

55
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: to a conference championship in well at least two decades, right, well,

56
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: eighty they were in the Super Bowl under Dick vermil

57
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: Right in eighty one they lost to the Raiders in

58
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So he took him in the nineties, right, Well,

59
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's first season was ninety nine head coach, so

60
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: he took him to Yeah, so you're say it's twenty

61
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: years later, it's been two decades since they've been in

62
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: a conference championship. He went to you know, five out

63
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: of six or something like that, and then goes to

64
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: Kansas City makes the trade. Of course, now he's with

65
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Mahome and now they're just stacking win on winning. There

66
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: were before we came on. Today, Steve and I both

67
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: enjoyed lunch. We both brown bagged it today. I was

68
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: impressed with Steve's lunch back. So I always say when

69
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I bring my lunch, Like Steve asked me, Hey, I'm

70
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: running out to grab something. You need anything? I said, no,

71
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: I brown bagged it today, meaning you know, I brought

72
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: my lunch because you know, when you were kids, you

73
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: had those brown paperbacks. Steve literally had a brown paper

74
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: bag today from a local Petstone. I'm like, Steve, only

75
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: you would have a brown bag from a pet store.

76
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: And Steve was unapologetic. I'm still am He said, it's

77
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: a perfect size. Yeah that's what he said. It's the

78
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: perfect and it was the perfect It's like it was

79
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: like a little six court bat brown paper bag. Yeah great,

80
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: and yeah it was great. I don't even know how

81
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: I got that then? What was what did I put

82
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: in that thing? I don't know how I got it.

83
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: What do you buy that you put into a bag?

84
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Probably like a bag of dog treats snacks that would

85
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: probably fit in you know, but yeah, because those are small.

86
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, this is just me y. I'm not buying.

87
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: It's not like a grocery storehere. You go in there

88
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: and buy like nineteen eyem, you go in there for

89
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: a dog toy. You guys, Yeah, you go in there

90
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: for one thing, this thing, that thing, and you leave.

91
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know why I would need a bag

92
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: for anything I would ever buy in that joint, and

93
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: I had to be the one that goes in. I'm

94
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: always in there, are not always, but yeah, I go

95
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: in there on a regular basis and maybe one thing,

96
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know why I had a bag for that,

97
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: whatever one thing you are. You are also speaking very

98
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: gender specific here, because when guys go shopping, it is

99
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: usually for one specific thing. I go out and buy something.

100
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say that. The women in my life

101
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: do not do that. They go out with a couple

102
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: of things in mind, but they don't come home with

103
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: just a couple of things ever, right now. There are

104
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: usually more things that they come across in their outing.

105
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, there are times where I do

106
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: do that. I go out and I'm still listen. I

107
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: want blow, I got I got some time to kill.

108
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in the store. See if there's anything

109
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: I can't live without. Okay, I do that, and I

110
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: and I always go into that. It's never like, you know,

111
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't go into you know, sax Fifth Avenue like that.

112
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: But I'll go into Yeah, I'll get Dollar General, Oh yeah,

113
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: the Time Store and Ea Viddler's. I'll go into you know,

114
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: the big have you Warmart Target all that, you know,

115
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff, all that. I go in there and

116
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: just like walk up and down and look for something

117
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: I can't live without. Speaking of those one dollar stores,

118
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: have you seen what inflation has done to these stores?

119
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: It's now the dollar twenty five store. It is not yes,

120
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: it is no. Yes. The ones that are locally around

121
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: my neighborhood, everything's a dollar twenty five now. Inflation steve

122
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: twenty five percent markup. I don't know if they're going

123
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: to change the sign. Oh, well, why you're hoping for

124
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: inflation to come back down. Well, everything that's priced in

125
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: the store is no longer a dollar. It's a dollar

126
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: twenty five. Is never everything in the store, was it? Well,

127
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: not everything, but most things that are typically a dollar

128
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: right now a dollar twenty five because of inflation. That's

129
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: a huge increase when you think about it's a twenty

130
00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: five percent markup. That's hefty, even at the dollars. Steve, however,

131
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: was even more impressed with my lunch in comparison to his.

132
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Brownie came through for me today. So he goes in,

133
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: he comes out, he goes and he did too. He

134
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: made like, we have a little space where we can

135
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: microwave stuff. Right, So Brownie brings in chips, spice, ground beef,

136
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: cheese and the whole thing into my nao plate nacho plate.

137
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: So he comes back out and he's gonna look at this,

138
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: and you could smell it. Was like, oh wow, that's great.

139
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: But let me just say this, knowing my my bro

140
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: like I do. I said, where is the fresh salt?

141
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: He said, I will be really impressed if you have

142
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: fresh salsa to go with that Nazio plate. He gives

143
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: me the look and it takes his little thing, opens

144
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: it up and there it is like all he came

145
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: through for me. I knew he would. It was glorious.

146
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: That's I called it. We are such food called it embarrassing. Um, yes,

147
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that thoroughly. We I don't know, like we

148
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: us like we're fortunate. We get lunch here usually during

149
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: the season when the players are here, and it's great.

150
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: Now we're in the off season, it's like we got

151
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: to fend for ourselves five days a week. I know,

152
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: let me play my tiny violin here for everybody. But

153
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: I gotta say I think I get pretty resourceful in

154
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: the stuff that I come up with. It's not just

155
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, a ham and cheese sandwich. Every day. I

156
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: try to, you know, try to get a little creative.

157
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: See see how far I can push the envelope in

158
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: terms of what I can bring in here, whether it

159
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: needs heating up, how many different tuppaware containers do I

160
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: have to bring to make it happen. I made it

161
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: happen today. I was pretty happy with that. Yeah. The

162
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: only the only risk I was running there was Nacho

163
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: crushing you know, with transporting the stead they don't travel well.

164
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: You know, you really got to be delicate with yeah,

165
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, the transportation of said good. So, but it

166
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: worked out, So I was pretty happy. We've got plenty

167
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: to get into around the NFL. Steve put the volume

168
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: all the way up as we in our in our

169
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: office today as we saw Frank Reichet formally introduced as

170
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: the new head coach of the Carolina Panthers as we

171
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: go around the NFL here presented by Kalida Health, the

172
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, and you know

173
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: that people. I thought it was kind of cool the

174
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: media was welcoming him back to Carolina because obviously he

175
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: was a starting quarterback there in the franchise's infancy. Yeah,

176
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: he was the first starting quarterback in the franchise's history.

177
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: Through the first touchdown pass. Pete metz Lars was in

178
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: the audience in the media. Who's the guy he who

179
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: caught that pass? Former Bill and Frank, as you might imagine,

180
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: was ultra prepared for the for the press conference and

181
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: carried it off extremely well. Linda and the girls were

182
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: right in the front row. Its great, great to see. Yeah,

183
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: he starts the work now to turn that franchise around

184
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: under owner Dave Tepper. And so he's just so good

185
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: on a microphone, isn't he. He's pretty polished like you

186
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: could tell. It comes easy to him, and I don't

187
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: know if it was because of his days in ministry

188
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: and used to addressing groups. I mean, he's been a

189
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: coach for a while now, but right he just seems

190
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: effortless for him in that setting. Carried it off extremely well. Yeah,

191
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: did a nice job today. So we'll see what he

192
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: has in store for the Panthers going forward. They have

193
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: a big quarterback question to answer. Sam Darnold is a

194
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: free agent, they already traded away Baker Mayfield, and I

195
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: think even their backup quarterback P J. Walker is either

196
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: a restricted free agent or an unrestricted free agent one

197
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: or the other. So they've got the most important position

198
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: on the team to address this offseason. How they do

199
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: that is certainly going to be of interest down there.

200
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: Knowing if Tom Brady leaves that division as a free agent,

201
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: which he might do a lot of people are believing

202
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: that he might, that might be the most wayward quarterback

203
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,359
Speaker 1: division in football. Carolina doesn't have a quarterback under contract.

204
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: The Bucks have a backup or two under contract, but

205
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: nobody of any repute. And then you've got Atlanta with

206
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: Mariota and Desmond Ritter, and then you've got the Saints

207
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton, Jamis Winston and um what's his name?

208
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: What's to do everything? Guy? Um Ta Taysom Hill, thank you.

209
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: I mean, could you think of a division with a

210
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: worst quarterback contingent? That's why Tampa Bay won the division

211
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: at eight and nine. They didn't have anybody to get

212
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: take and they won it with Tom Brady at eight

213
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: and nine. So yeah, I mean, he'sn't sit in a

214
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: good spot. Plus, there's some guys available too. You know,

215
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: Derek Carr you could trade for something. Jimmy Garoppolo, well

216
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: you can get somebody. Yeah, there's some guys out there.

217
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: One offseason can change things dramatic and I'm and there's

218
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: some guys available to you. Hear the rumors as well,

219
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers and that kind of thing, and Tom

220
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Brady as well. So I don't know that Tom Brady

221
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: is what he's thinking. There's some some thoughts online that

222
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe finally, after all these years, goes to San Francisco,

223
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: where goes from goes home Finger quotes home after what

224
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: happened to them. It depends on what happens to them

225
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, imagine too. But with Kyle Shanahan

226
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and see what they could get done there.

227
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see. But that division,

228
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: the NFC South, was a train wreck this year from

229
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: top to bottom. And you know, it's years like that

230
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: that always gets you to the point where maybe they

231
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: should see the I get the divisional round, division playoff,

232
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: the division games, and the division philosophy of dividing the

233
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: teams into those. But just we're the point now where

234
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: let's let's get the top seven teams from each conference. Yeah,

235
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean at the same time, as as wayward as

236
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: that division is at quarterback, if one of those teams

237
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: make two or three quality moves, you could you could

238
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: go right to the top of the division very easy.

239
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: Think about it. Yeah, think about it. If you win

240
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: three more games than you did last year, you're in.

241
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I'm saying. This is a big

242
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: off season for those four teams. Like, if you're the

243
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: team in that division that makes three or four of

244
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: the right moves, you could vault right to the top

245
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: of the division. In one off season. Two of the

246
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: teams were four and two in the division. The other

247
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: two teams were two and four nobody was completely out

248
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: of it. Three teams at seven and ten, one team

249
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: at eight and nine. I mean they're all right, They're

250
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: all right there, packed together in mediocrity. Yeah. Who wants

251
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: to be better than that? And the team that makes

252
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: the right decisions this offseason could be better and win

253
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: that division? Handled? And I get it. Here's they're all

254
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: presented two with the same opportunity switch the guy taking

255
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: and now Tampa Bay. I mean, the thought is Tom

256
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: Brady's out, and even so they only won eight games

257
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: with him, right, what they're going to have a new

258
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator too? Yeah? And what are the options for

259
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: all of those clubs going forward? And they all pick

260
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: from the same pool of players. It's that's it. I mean, yeah,

261
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: that's It's a battle of the front office in that

262
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: division more so than any of the division in football,

263
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: because all those teams are looking for hugely critical positions.

264
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: The news was not good for forty nine Ers quarterback

265
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy. He had the elbow injury in the NFC

266
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: title game and basically could not throw more than five yards.

267
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: The reason why is after MRIs came back, he tore

268
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: his ucl completely in his throwing elbow, and he will

269
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: miss the next six months. The hope is they can

270
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: just do an outright repair of the UCL, and that

271
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: would take a six month rehabilitation if they deem that

272
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: they have to reconstruct the whole thing. He's then looking

273
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: at Tommy john surgery, which figures to be over a

274
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: calendar year, which would be pretty bad. He is going

275
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: to get a second opinion. But that is the same

276
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: type of injury that Josh Allen had in Week nine. Miraculously,

277
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen only had partial damage to his UCL and

278
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: was able to still play. I think this demonstrates just

279
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: how lucky Josh was that he didn't do what Purdy

280
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: did and tear it completely. Season would have been over.

281
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty fortunate. Yeah, yeah, it's as you can tell.

282
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean, can you surprised that kind of injury doesn't

283
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: happen more? Yes? I am right now, I am, and

284
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: I get it to particularly because it happened on all

285
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: of them. Josh, you know he got his hurt, well,

286
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: he got hurt in eighteen UM down in Houston, remember right,

287
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: and in five games, and then it happened this last

288
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: year and both the both the brock Purty and all

289
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: those Josh Allen injuries. They came from the front side.

290
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: From the side he could see come, should be able

291
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: to see because he's facing that. And you know it

292
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: doesn't come from the back because from the back they

293
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: don't get their hand across his arm, of the arm

294
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: of the quarterback they get it they go forward instead

295
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: of yea, and the biomechanics of it are completely different

296
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: coming from the back side. So I think one of

297
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: the reasons it doesn't happen so often is because of

298
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: what I just said. Most quarterbacks you can see it

299
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: coming and they take a chance they can get the

300
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: ball off before the guy gets there, or they tuck

301
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: it and don't don't try it. Um. That's and that's

302
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: why you don't see it happened more often, is because

303
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, quarterbacks can see it coming. Yeah, that that

304
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: arm is in a very vulnerable position at that moment,

305
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: and it's just surprising that. I mean, don't get me wrong,

306
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to see it happen more, but I'm

307
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: surprised it doesn't happen more often. But maybe to your point,

308
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: if they see it coming, they can alter their throwing motion,

309
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: tuck it down to avoid the hit. Whatever the case

310
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: and relegated to forty nine ers to no offense for

311
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Well right, well, yeah, they

312
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: had Josh Johnson go in and then he got the

313
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: concussion and then that was the end of the day

314
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: and bruck Purty came in and handed it off the

315
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: rest of the day and we into the game. Speaking

316
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, yesterday we heard with Patrick Mahomes going to

317
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that obviously you can't participate in the

318
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl game, so he was going to be replaced

319
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: by Jaguar's quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Today we learn that Tyler

320
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Huntley was chosen as a Pro Bowl replacement for Josh Allen,

321
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: despite the fact that he started just four games this season.

322
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: John is not participating due to a injury. He's playing

323
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: golf this weekend in a Pro am. Nobody's gonna quit

324
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: if the league said injury, is there reason why? I

325
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: get it? So either way, Josh not participating in the

326
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl games. He will be replaced by Tyler Huntley,

327
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: So there you go with that. I don't know, it's

328
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: really a shame what's happened to the Pro Bowl. M

329
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: I understand why guys don't want to play in a

330
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: real football game anymore, especially playing an extra regular season

331
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: game now. But it's really watered down. It's unrecognizable from

332
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: what it was when you guys were playing at him Um.

333
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: I thought that it had more relevance when it was

334
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: coaches and players who picked the squads. Um. And then

335
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: when you could see it coming, the exponential growth of

336
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: the guys who played out there, there was you know

337
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: those guys are it's the money that you win. Playing

338
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl is far from life changing, and guys, yeah,

339
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: guys just just opted out. And there was a trend

340
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: where guys would go out there and finger quotes twist

341
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: their ankle on Thursday of practice and say, you know,

342
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: I can't play. So they get the trip to Hawaii

343
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: and they just you know, kind of hang out. Um.

344
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: It's always there's always been a problem with it because

345
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: of the physical nature of the game. Nobody you know,

346
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: it's crazy for these guys to go out there and

347
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: playing a game We used to do it though, I

348
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: mean us to play it. And they they go through

349
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: a game that was pretty good, just it was more

350
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: of a well they tackled guys to the ground and

351
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: there were hits going on and then in the second

352
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: half of the fourth quarter if the game was close,

353
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: it turned into a real game for about three series. Yeah,

354
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: because there was money on the line. The winners get

355
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: more than the loser. Yeah. And back then, yeah, it

356
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: was like ten grand and twenty grand. It's kind of laughable.

357
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: Now these guys get fined that now. So that would happen.

358
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: And then as it went into the future, we had

359
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,239
Speaker 1: guys out there. Marino was in like thirteen of him.

360
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: I think he played in two and one of them

361
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: was like in his thirteenth one. He finally came out.

362
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: He came out and I I got a chance to play

363
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: with him in a Pro Bowl. He never showed up none. No,

364
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: the guys showed up because and I know, and I

365
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: heard this as well, some of the clubs, like the

366
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins maybe and maybe the Raiders and some of these

367
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: other clubs would the owner would say, listen, here, here's

368
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: the winner's share. Don't go oh wow, you know, just

369
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: stay home just to keep him healthy. Just just so

370
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do that. You got guys going

371
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: out there and playing flag football on the beach and

372
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: blowing their ac Yeah, so it would be oh, there's

373
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: a lot of that going on as well, at least

374
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: suspected going on. Yeah, so that is around the NFL

375
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,239
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to health topic dujure today for you,

376
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: How should the Bills navigate the salary cap this offseason?

377
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: We learned yesterday that the salary cap for twenty twenty

378
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: three will be two hundred and twenty four point eight

379
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: million dollars. The Bills, by rough Maath, are about twenty

380
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: million over right now, so they're going to have to,

381
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: as Brandon Bean himself said, get creative. He mentioned the

382
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: word player cuts, contract restructures, among other things. How should

383
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: the Bills navigate the salary cap this offseason? You let

384
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: us know at eighth three five fifty one, eight eight,

385
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: five fifty two, five fifty where you can hit us

386
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: up on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live, Steve.

387
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like a light lift this offseason for

388
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Brandon being with what he's up against, not only because

389
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: the fact that he's over the cap, but because you

390
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: already have twenty two free agents off your books already

391
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: and you're still twenty million dollars over. You have a

392
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: roster to fill out, let alone, try to sign people

393
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: to improve your roster, you know what I mean? Oh yeah,

394
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: and you've got the bills have about eight or nine guys,

395
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: let's see making ten million plus. Oh okay, yeah, I

396
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: see what you're doing. They got nine guys making ten

397
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: million plus on the cap this year. And it goes

398
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: all the way from all this, and there's a bunch

399
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: of guys under this too, like goes down. You know,

400
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: Aran Johnson's making is nine point two against the cap,

401
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: but Mica is like ten ed, Mitch Moore's, Matt Milano,

402
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins, Tradavious White, Von Miller, Steph Diggs, and Josh Allen.

403
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: Those are the guys that are like the big money

404
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: guys who are up upwards. You know, the last two

405
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 1: or three of those, Josh and Josh, Steph and Vaughan. Uh,

406
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: those guys aren't going anywhere. You could restructure some of

407
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: that money, but you're only gonna get so much help

408
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: out of it. The names that you're looking at on

409
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: the screen now, from Tremaine Edmonds all the way down

410
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: to Tommy Sweeney and the punter Sam Martin, that's a

411
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: long list of players who were contributor. I'm not saying

412
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: like Tremaine Edmunds. You can make a point that he's

413
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: a difference maker, you know, Jordan Phillips, you can make

414
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: that point. Shack all those guys, but you got some

415
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: these All of these guys on this list were contributors

416
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: or most of them, most of them, yea, all of

417
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: them were contributors. So we and I say it again,

418
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: we were in this We the Bills were in the

419
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: same spot last year at this point as well. It

420
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: was just different names, but they were still contributors and

421
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: who had played extremely well. Trying to remember, I don't

422
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: think they were twenty million over the cap. I think

423
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: they were slightly over. They were slightly over, not twenty

424
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: million over, slightly over, I'm I remember that. And they

425
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: were like right at the cape. So there's some work

426
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: to be done here for sure. And what does creative mean,

427
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: m I mean Brandon Bean gave a couple of examples

428
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: in his season rapp up press conference when he said,

429
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to cut players, We're gonna have to

430
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: restructure some contracts. Brandon being is not a fan of

431
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road only to pay the

432
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: piper later. So I think he is going to make

433
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: some hard decisions here this offseason, some of which could

434
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: very well be unpopular. But with the financial constraints under

435
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: which they're going to have to operate, I don't know

436
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: that he has a choice. You gotta make some difficult

437
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: business decisions here, because at the end of the day,

438
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: it is a business. How would you navigate it? Eight

439
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty one eight eight five fifty

440
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: two five fifty then number to get on board, I

441
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: think you have to do a whole like a lot

442
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: of these, you know, Fortune five hundred companies do, Steve,

443
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: You got to do a cost benefit analysis, like even

444
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: the guys that are still under contract on your roster.

445
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: Are we maximizing the value of this guy and does

446
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: it fall in line with the money that we're paying him?

447
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: And if it does, great, If it doesn't, would he

448
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: be open to an extension? Could we do something different

449
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: or do we have to part ways because we're not

450
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: getting the maximum value out of that guy and that

451
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: money could be better spent elsewhere. You've got those guys,

452
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: those ten guys I mentioned that are all you know,

453
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: from ten million bucks up on the cap. They account

454
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: for around around set any percent of the cap just

455
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: those guys that I have, those ten guys that I mentioned, YEA.

456
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: One thing that gets lost in all of this is

457
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 1: the fact that you can have the guys on the rod,

458
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: like the Bills. They're a perfect example. They were humming

459
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: along and all of a sudden, Vaughan goes down, Jordan

460
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: Phillips goes down or is in and out of the lineup.

461
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: You lose Mica, you lose Jordan. He's not one hundred percent,

462
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: Tredavious White's not one hundred percent, and he finally gets

463
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: back on the field. You have all these guys falling

464
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: down and going off the field. Then you really need

465
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: all these other guys to help. If you can stay

466
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: healthy one hundred percent who they're fine, Yeah, but it's

467
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: not going to happen. You can't count on that happening.

468
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: As good as the Bills roster was this year, they

469
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: stay They kept the number one seat all the way

470
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: up until Week seventeen, and you know then that game

471
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: gets canceled and everything gets decided rather than earned, and

472
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: they're not the one seat anymore. Yeah. I remember ten

473
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: years ago with where the league was going with salaries,

474
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, exploding, you know, at the top tier of

475
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: the market. You know, Tyree Hills making thirty million a year.

476
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: You know, he blew the top salary earner out of

477
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: the water at the wide receiver position, and you've seen

478
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: that at other positions also. But front office people around

479
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: the league we're saying this, and I was like, you know,

480
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: that's going to be interesting when that happens. They said,

481
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: what we're witnessing is the elimination of the middle class

482
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: in the NFL among players. And to your point, seventy

483
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: percent of the cap is gobbled up by about eight

484
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: to ten players. It leaves thirty percent to fill out

485
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 1: the last forty spots on your roster. And so you

486
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: can't do that with half middle class players and half

487
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: bottom of the roster guys. You have to use more

488
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: minimum salary guys than maybe ever before and just hope,

489
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: like heck, that your top line guys stay healthy, right,

490
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean, especially if you're already paying big money for

491
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Now there's a ton of guys that are

492
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 1: making a half a percent of the salary cap, and

493
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: that's think about it. It's a two hundred plus million

494
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: dollars cap, so a million bucks is less than a

495
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: half is a half percent just under, so you know

496
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: they're not you know they're not not going to be

497
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: able to find guys to play, believe me. But those

498
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: are the mat The numbers are astronomicals. So it's crazy.

499
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: It is crazy. We'll take a break here. When we

500
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: come back, we'll get some of your thoughts on the

501
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. Take your phone call to DATO three oh

502
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: five fifty open line for you there, and we might

503
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: do a little what's for lunch? Haven't done that in

504
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: a while. We've got some interesting questions on the menu.

505
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: Will tell you what those are. Next Here on One

506
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Collid of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

507
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

508
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you asking you at eight oh three

509
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty how should the Bills navigate

510
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: the salary cap this offseason? And we go to the phones,

511
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: and leading us off today is Mark in Jersey City.

512
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: What do you got for his? Mark? Here all One

513
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: Bill's Life. Good afternoon, gentlemen. How are you doing? Yeah?

514
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean I just look at the weekend and I

515
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: look at Kansas City and the Bills are the poor

516
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: opposite of this, trusting rookies from round one through seven

517
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: to go out there and make plays, whether it was

518
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: Pocheco pretty much the starting running back, whether it was

519
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: Watson or Williams making interceptions, Brian Cook tipping a pass

520
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: that got intercepted, Skymore returning a key punt, or the

521
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: Bills beer towards. We're just going to trust the veterans

522
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: and high priced special teams players, and that's not the

523
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: way to go anymore. They're not at the place they

524
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: can do that anymore. That the frustrating parts like Elam

525
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: has to be weaned in where they're just they're running.

526
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: They're running out a seventh round draft pick. And I

527
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: think that's where McDermott and being need to look at

528
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we need to be a little bit more,

529
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more forward thinking here and stop being

530
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: so timid with these kids. Here's I'll say this, Mark,

531
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: and I get your point. You're right, and it's and listen,

532
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: cheap labor in the NFL is a commodity. Having your

533
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: rookies be contributors on rookie contracts is awesome. I don't

534
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: know if you can say always too that they should

535
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: draft better they need to draft better players and you know,

536
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: or they miss on this guy, or this guy's not

537
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: as good as that. You know, the value of the

538
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: draft pick doesn't isn't commensurate with the production the guy has.

539
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, I can I can think of one

540
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: glaring exception to your assertion, and that would be Christian

541
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: Benford who started game not Christian Benford. Yeah, the corner, Yeah,

542
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: he started started one. Started with one back, so it

543
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: was Dan Jackson and whoever else you're gonna line up

544
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: on the other side. They decided it would be Benford

545
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: over Elam, right, So you can say what you want.

546
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: You're right. It is kudos to the Chiefs for starting

547
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: the guy and getting good production from it. But we

548
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: are at the end of the season as well, and

549
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: early on in Kansas City, Pacheco wasn't the guy. He

550
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: grew into it. Clyde Edwards Hilaire was the guy at

551
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of this season. McKinnon and Jeric McKinnon, who's

552
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: still you know, they're still swapping out snaps, So I

553
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: get it. You're right. It is something that you need

554
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: to work at as an organization when you draft these guys.

555
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: The truth of the matter is you need him to

556
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: play because they're cheap labor. They help you pay the

557
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 1: great players, established great players the money they they've earned

558
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: and keep them on the roster and then hope these

559
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: young guys can contribute it at a high level to

560
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: get you to a championship and then when it's their turn,

561
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: they get paid. So yeah, I get what you're saying,

562
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: and there's something to it. But I and I think

563
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: a lot of us were impatient with the James Cook development.

564
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: We're impatient with Khalil Shakir. We're impatient with Kayer Elam

565
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 1: and the fact that we didn't see those guys on

566
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: the field every snap doing their thing. And I hear

567
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: the complaint. I know I was impatient with them too,

568
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: But getting to the point of where they were in Cincinnati,

569
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't too unhappy with the result with you know,

570
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game, notwithstanding they were winning a ton of games

571
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: every week and the only thing that made this team

572
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: look less than what it should have was the fact

573
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: that they turned it over. I think it is a

574
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: valid point, though, that you can make from this perspective.

575
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: I think we've come to learn that Coach McDermott make

576
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: sure that you earn everything that you get, and I'm

577
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: not saying that starting jobs should be handed to rookies.

578
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you've got a situation where

579
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: if you have a player who is more physically gifted

580
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: and talented than the veteran player, and he demonstrates that

581
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: in practice and convinces you you can trust him on

582
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: the field, you owe it to the team to put

583
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: him on the field to help your team make more plays. Now,

584
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: you can argue, however many ways you want to argue it,

585
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: James Cook is a superior talent to Devin Singletary. Even

586
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: the untrained eye can see that. Now. Unfortunately, James cook

587
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: first carry is a fumble in Week one against the Rams,

588
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: and I honestly believe it's stunted the opportunities he was

589
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: get and going forward for several weeks. He didn't really

590
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: start to supplant Devin's Singletary as the guy until the

591
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: end of the season. And I'm of the belief that

592
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: James Cook could have helped this team a whole lot

593
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: more in the run game this season. When all is

594
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: said and done, he has eighty nine carries. He averaged

595
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: five point seven a carry. That's a fantastic number, and

596
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: I realized eighty nine carries is a small sample size,

597
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: but I think he most definitely flashed as the season

598
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: went on, and it just makes you wonder what more

599
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: could he have done if he started right from the

600
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, And is he even more dynamic

601
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: in the playoffs if he gets that experience. You could

602
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: argue the same thing about Khalil shaker Jamison Crowder is

603
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: a slot receiver and you had Mackenzie here also. Okay,

604
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: those guys they show they belong on the field, Fine,

605
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: you start those guys, they get the bulk of the

606
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: playing time. When Jamison Crowder goes down with a busted

607
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: ankle in week four, that's the time to give Khalil

608
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: Shakier more time. Plug him in. Maybe he can give

609
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: you something. Play him enough to find out and see.

610
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: And I don't feel like they maximized his time on

611
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: the field either, So now you're left wondering at the

612
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: end of the year, maybe they could have gotten more

613
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: out of him. Look at him in the last three

614
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, Steve making huge third down catches

615
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: against Miami and New England the last game of the

616
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: regular season, and the wild card playoff game. What could

617
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: he have given you if you started him in eight games?

618
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: I get that, I get all of that. I get

619
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: all of that, But there's nobody here with you and me,

620
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: and there's nobody in our audience who knows, who sees

621
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 1: more and knows more about what these guys are doing

622
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: than the coaching staff. And it's not Sean McDermott himself

623
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: sitting there keeping his thumb on this guy and that

624
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: guy and this position. It's not just the position coaches either.

625
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: It's the coordinator, the position coaches. And it's also like

626
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: if you're white out, it's also the dB coach who says,

627
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: I like this kid, he's hard. Our guys have a

628
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: problem with this guy. It's all of that stuff in

629
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: the mix. And Sean McDermott is not going to hold

630
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: somebody on the bench who think he thinks gonna help

631
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: him win, period, end of That's it, right, So all

632
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: this stuff, it is an atmosphere that they've grown here

633
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: that more teams should probably adopt rather than have the

634
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: Bills change the way they're doing it. You gotta earn it,

635
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: and being drafted is not a chip in your favor

636
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: having a contract is the only thing you've got. So

637
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I get it when you sit

638
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: here at this end of it and you think they

639
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: could have been so many They didn't need to be better,

640
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: They needed to execute just a little better, and like

641
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: three or three games during the regular set three games

642
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: during the regular season, and they'd have gone seventeen and oh,

643
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: let's not forget that, or you're talking less than a

644
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: handful of plays that would have given you a perfect

645
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: regular season. I mean that's so they were probably under

646
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: no stress to plug young guys in why. I mean

647
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: they were. They were humming along now, and I don't

648
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: think that they were. I don't think the Chiefs are

649
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: a great example to argue, Hey, they played their rookies.

650
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: They didn't have anybody else. They let go of Tyrn Matthew,

651
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: they let go of Trevarious Ward, and they let go

652
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: of Bashad Brylan. None of those guys were in their

653
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: secondary anyway, didn't have anybody else left to line up.

654
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: They had to play room again, you know. And it's

655
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: easy to say this now because we don't know, I mean,

656
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: we can conjecture all we want, what do you do

657
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna plug in Khalil Shakir and James Cook and

658
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: in there, and they do this, they make a couple

659
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: of mistakes, or they get better and better, and all

660
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden, what are you gonna do go on

661
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: a seven game win streak at the end of the season.

662
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: You already did that. Yeah, you're gonna you know what

663
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: happens if they blow one of those leads or do

664
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: something with a ripple effect and all of a sudden,

665
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: now you're you're you're thirteen and four, or if you

666
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: play all seventeen games, or if you're twelve and four,

667
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: twelve and four instead of thirteen and three. I mean this,

668
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't get I'm not gonna get caught up, and

669
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna continue to this through the offseason. Everybody's gonna

670
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: get tired of me saying it. Don't get caught up

671
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: in that's the last Cincinnati game, or even the Patriot

672
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: game or the Dolphin game to end the season. Don't

673
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: get caught up in any of that. This team was

674
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: still the team to beat up until the Monday night

675
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati game. They were the team to beat and

676
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: nobody was getting it done. So whatever you want to

677
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: say or think about what they should have done different,

678
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff that I don't know how

679
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: they could have improved too much, because this coaching staff

680
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: put their club in a position where they were a

681
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback sneak for no game A what was the

682
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: other one or the fourth and eighteen just bat the

683
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: ball down play and you win that game either one

684
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: of those plays. And then you were also the heat

685
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: game where you could you just go forward five yards

686
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: down the ball and just spike it for the game

687
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: winning field goal in the other game, and they're sixteen

688
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: and one doing that just those three plays. So I

689
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: don't all this stuff about it. They should have played

690
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: their rookies more. They should have done this more, they

691
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: should have done that more. You're getting caught up in minutia.

692
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: This is a team that was the team to beat

693
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: up until Damar Hamlin got hurt, and there's no reason

694
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: for them to think about or do anything different than

695
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: the way they've been doing it. And that comes down

696
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: to their draft picks too. They got to get into

697
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: a spot in free agency where they can draft anybody

698
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: they want because they've got veterans on the roster that

699
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: can fill all the holes we're talking about offensive line,

700
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: big time wide receiver, Da da da da da da dada,

701
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: go down the list, all that stuff. That's what they're

702
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: gonna do. I think it's gonna be interesting though, this offseason,

703
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: because that approach may have to change somewhat. If the

704
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: cost constraints of the cap force them to move on

705
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: from some veteran players that have been manning starting roles,

706
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: you may very well get to a point where McDermot

707
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: and his staff are going to have to put rookies

708
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: on the field similar to the way we saw the

709
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs do this past year. Let's not forget the Chiefs

710
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: are a little further ahead in their bill than the

711
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: Bills are. There about two three years in front of

712
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: where Buffalo is. What the Chiefs are experiencing now is

713
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: probably something that the Bills are going to experience in

714
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: the not too distant future, and they may very well

715
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: have to put rookies and draft picks on the field

716
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: to still hold it all together and keep some of

717
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: their high priced players on the roster. That's what the

718
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs have done and they've made it work. Hopefully the

719
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: Bills can do this, saying we got to take a

720
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: break here, but more are your phone calls. When we

721
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: return here on one Bills Live, presented by a lot

722
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: of health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right back here

723
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live, Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you,

724
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: asking you how should the Bills navigate the salary cap

725
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: this offseason? We know they're going to be about twenty

726
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: million over the cap at the outset here and they've

727
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of difficult decisions to make. How would

728
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: you navigate the salary cap for the Bills this offseason?

729
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: We go back to the phones where we have an

730
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: open line for you at eight oh three five fifty one,

731
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty and we go

732
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: to Michael in cheek to waga. What do you got

733
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: for us? Michael? Well, first of all, I want to say,

734
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: enjoy your show very much. And I watched mister Tasker,

735
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: and I recall back when the Boston New England team

736
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: had Grady and we know what he did and how

737
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: he was able to help them. He always had his

738
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: contract restructured, so even though he made the big money,

739
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: he wanted to make sure he had players that he

740
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of it. That team to

741
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: win another one and I'm just wondering why we can't

742
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: do the same thing with our players. Are I know,

743
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: we could just ask. I mean, I made the years

744
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: old and they say no. They say no, but then

745
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: don't tell me that you want to be a winner?

746
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: Has proven now with the skilled, highly skilled players, they

747
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: are able to produce winners, whether it's one year, two years,

748
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I did following this team since I

749
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: was young. Now I'm old, and the only thing I

750
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: want to say is I'd like to see one Super

751
00:43:55,320 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: Bowl and probably one Stanley Cup champion before us the

752
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: end of the short road they all live in. Yeah,

753
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't you know? You know the contract? Can't they

754
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: when a player gets hurt? I know, is the Whey guaranteed?

755
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: And don't they are? Are they able to reduce that contract?

756
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. In corporate America, if you

757
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: get hurt, you're out. Okay, Well they've become corporate America.

758
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm a finance guy, and I would

759
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: certainly hope that they have, and I'm sure that they

760
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: do with the money that's involved costs accounts. Uh. My

761
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: oldest boy is a CPA and he's always talking about this.

762
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: I said Michael Learn a letter. Yeah, you're good at

763
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: what you do. Uh, you know, maybe they should listen

764
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: to people in a way that they could be of help.

765
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, I'm just a fan and

766
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm retired, so I can and I enjoy your program

767
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: very much, and that's all I wanted to say. And Steve,

768
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: you should be in the Hall of Fame. There's no

769
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: question in our mind. And you're doing a heck of

770
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: a job. By the way, filling in for mister Murphy

771
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: here Chris. Oh, thank you, Mike, I have to say.

772
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: And I enjoy your I enjoy your show. Thanks, Mike,

773
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. You're right. Yeah, it's always I mean,

774
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: how how likely is it that anybody goes to their boss,

775
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: even to your son who's an account and go to

776
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: his boss. They listen, I'll take a pay cut so

777
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 1: the company's a little bit more financially sound. That's really

778
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: not their responsibility. Yeah, don't offer if you if you're

779
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: gonna want him to take less money, don't offer from

780
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: the contract in the first place. Certainly, it's not It's

781
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: been widely reported that Tom Brady was making far below

782
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: market value. I don't know if that was his total

783
00:45:53,560 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: take home or whether Robert Kraft was doing business with

784
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: TV twelve brand while he was still playing for the club.

785
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if there were ways around that or what.

786
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: But players have notoriously been very willing to restructure their contract,

787
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 1: which means clear up cap space. For instance, if Josh

788
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: Allen is supposed to make thirty million dollars in salary

789
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: this year, where you're not gonna cut him, right, okay,

790
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: so change that salary, that salary into bonus money, so

791
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: you just give him all his his paycheck right now

792
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: and they can spread that over the next five years

793
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: of his contract. So it's only six million dollars against

794
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: the cap. But he gets thirty million dollars this year,

795
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: so um in his pocket, in his pocket and gets

796
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 1: it ahead of he gets gets it ahead of time.

797
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: And because you're not gonna cut him, so they could

798
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: do that. And players have done that, and you know,

799
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 1: certainly because they get paid the money now and it's great.

800
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: So all of that on. Their players have done it

801
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: in the past, the team has done it. I'm they're

802
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna do it again this year. We'll see how they

803
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: do it. They did it to Mitch Morris. They've done

804
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: it to other guys over the course of the last

805
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: handful of years. So the longer, the deeper you get

806
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: into this. And here's how it works. The more games

807
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: you win, the more guys you realize are really helping

808
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: you win these games, and the harder those guys are

809
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: to replace, and the more likely it is that you're

810
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: willing to pay them more money because they're contributed to

811
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: this really, really good team. How do you replace those

812
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: guys with cheaper guys who are actually going to produce

813
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: at that level. If you could do that, you could

814
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: be under the cap, way under the cap every year

815
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: and you just wash guys through. If there was another

816
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the street, you could bring him in,

817
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: pay him less than a million bucks and get rid

818
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 1: of the guy who's making thirty simple manners. Those guys

819
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: don't grow on trees. So at a lot of positions, yes,

820
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 1: it is, You're right. There are ways to get around it.

821
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: It boils down to a couple of things. One the

822
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: players willingness to help, no question, and they most of

823
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: them do. If you know, I need to take less money.

824
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: But you can structure in a way that gives the

825
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: team relief to just move their money around. Secondly, is

826
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: you need an owner it's got deep pockets and a

827
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: willingness to open them up for the players to spread

828
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: that money out. In decades past, that was not the

829
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: case here in Buffalo, but we have seen in years

830
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: recent years that we have an owner's very has been

831
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: very willing to do that. Yes, that is an enormous

832
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: difference maker. And you can send Terry and Kim a

833
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: thank you card. Let's go back to the phones and

834
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: we go to Mark in Tonawanda next. What do you

835
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: got for us? Mark? Hey, guys, Hey tire Manum got

836
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: Steve your last segment? I mean, were we even watching

837
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 1: the same game. I mean, we have a third string

838
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: Sincinnati Bengal's offensive line in and we couldn't touch Burrow

839
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: with a ten foot poll. I'm just I'm so sick.

840
00:48:55,640 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: We invested so much in this defensive line and they

841
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: have nothing to show for it. And I'll tell you

842
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: who else agrees with me, Steve. And you're gonna say,

843
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: don't listen to that Cincinnati game. You know who disagrees

844
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: with you, Steve. Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean. They have

845
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: always said that that last game. That playoff game shows

846
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: you where your team's at. Okay, and to go from four,

847
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: I get at Von Miller's injury. We were fourth in

848
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 1: the league and quarterback rushes with him. We went down

849
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: to twenty seventh in the league without him. But you

850
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: know what we still have at Oliver. We still got

851
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: our first round picks. Guys, they invest in this defensive line.

852
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: They haven't been good enough at all, and it's come

853
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: back to bite Brandon Bean because it's poured into not

854
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: getting enough weapons for Josh Allen on offense, not protecting

855
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on offense. It's our offense has been a

856
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: one trick pony and it's live by Josh and die

857
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: by Josh because they're doubling digs. And I'm just so

858
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: sick of this nineties. Oh we went to four straight

859
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: Super Bowl attitude. We lost four in a row. It's

860
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: a loser mentality. We have to make changes in order

861
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: to win in this league. And I'm a little fired up.

862
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: But go ahead, and what what are you I mean,

863
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: what are you suggesting they throw more money at the

864
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: d line now or what? So? I mean, they're they're

865
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 1: gonna have to probably make a trade. I love salth

866
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: Capacu had a great idea, you might have to trade

867
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: somebody like a at Oliver for to Carolina for a

868
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: guy like DJ Moore or or a pick. Yeah, you know,

869
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: similar to how they acquired Digs and you know what,

870
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: I know. I love Trey White too, but his production dropped.

871
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: He was getting burned and even in Atlanska, and I

872
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: know Player was hurt, but he's older. He's not getting

873
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: any younger. We're so we're married to these guys, and

874
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: I just feel like we shouldn't be. Uh, It's it's

875
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: not working. We lost two years in a row in

876
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: the same round of the playoffs. I just I'm so

877
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: sick of losing to the Bengals. They are their weapons.

878
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they had three, arguably three number one sievers

879
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: on that offense. Broke's throwing an ice clothes sending these

880
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 1: guys and I'm just looking at Allen. What have we

881
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: done for him since Diggs? What have we done for

882
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen besides not give Naim Hindes the ball, you know,

883
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they can't protect them. I'm just I'm at

884
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: a loss. I'm hot after still hot after that Bengals loss.

885
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: We should have been in that game against Atlanta, and

886
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: I liked our chances against the Chiefs. I really did. Yeah,

887
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: we get it, Mark, We understand why you're fired up.

888
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: Respect it. We are up against the break, but we

889
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,439
Speaker 1: will address your concerns when we come back. An hour

890
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: number two here on one Bills Live presented by Kellid

891
00:51:37,000 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. They see these one

892
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: bills Live presented by called Light of Health. Here we

893
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: are our number two on a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve

894
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 1: tasking with you how should the Bills navigate the salary

895
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: cap this offseason? They are about twenty million over right now,

896
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: and that's not counting they're twenty two free agents that

897
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: are not on the books anymore going forward, at least

898
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: for now. We'll take your suggestions at eight oh three

899
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: five fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five fifty.

900
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: We ended the previous hour with a heated mark from Tanawandu,

901
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: who admitted himself he was fired up about a lot

902
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: of things. He's frustrated and believes that they should be

903
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: getting more out of the defensive front than they did

904
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: this past year, particularly from a lot of their high

905
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: draft choices. Knowing they've invested a lot of draft capital

906
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: in their defensive front, so he wants change. I get it.

907
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if the change that we

908
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: all see is a flip in commitment from the defensive

909
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: front to the offensive front. I mentioned this to Steve

910
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: before we went on the air today. Next season, the

911
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: Bills will be playing five of the top six teams

912
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: in sacks this year, five of the top six Washington, Dallas, Philadelphia,

913
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and New England twice all in the top

914
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: six in sacks this year. The time has come to

915
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: flip the script and invest in the offense. Put more

916
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: around Josh upfront and outside to help maximize his abilities

917
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: as a quarterback without him feeling like he's got to

918
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: make the plays, you know, with his legs as we

919
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: see Laaten games. Sometimes we got to put more. I

920
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: think most people want to see the Bills put more

921
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: people out there that he can trust, either from a

922
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: protection standpoint or a playmaking standpoint. And you know, as

923
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: Mark said himself after Stefan Diggs, what have the Bills

924
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 1: really done to greatly aid Josh Allen on the offensive

925
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: side of the ball. You could argue James Cook. Second

926
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: round pick Naim Hines was added but didn't really play

927
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, in the deal of the trade deadline,

928
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: drafted Khalil Shaker, they drafted Spencer Brown. I mean he's

929
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: a starter, right, Tack. I know a lot of people

930
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: were thrilled with his consistency of play this year, but

931
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: that was an investment that was made. You know, when

932
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: they signed Roger Staffold in free agency last offseason. You know,

933
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: you can say what you want about how you felt

934
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: he played, but there have been moves. I just don't

935
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 1: think they've been made with what's the word I'm looking

936
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: for here. The way in which they've invested has been

937
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: more secondary, more secondary, lower lower draft picks. There wasn't

938
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 1: the consistent because we you know, for three years we've

939
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: been getting a defensive lineman in the top two picks

940
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: two rounds of the draft. Yeah, and that's what people

941
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: have seen with had Oliver, Aja Panessa, Greg Russeau, Boogie Basham.

942
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: You know, first two picks of that year were Rousseau

943
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: and Basham. So they've been invested in that and they

944
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: so it's obvious they know or believe their defense and

945
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: their scheme and the way their philosophy needs a defensive

946
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: line that is superior on most Sundays at least, if

947
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: not dominant, to be really successful. They have not gotten

948
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: a dominant defensive line effort most weeks. Von Miller was

949
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: another nod towards that, and he was a difference maker.

950
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: Let's not forget how good Vaughan was when he was

951
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: playing and probably will be again. But that's a financial

952
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: commitment as well as a draft pick commitment with the

953
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: other guys, so they can't keep that. You would think

954
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: they can't keep doing that. Now. Free agency may have

955
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: something to say about this. They may be able to

956
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: go out and find some guys to come in and say, wow, well,

957
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: I can't believe they got that guy like like they

958
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: did Vaughan last year. That was a cherry on the

959
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: cake when they got that. But there may be some

960
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: things on the horizon where they go out and get

961
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: some guys that we didn't think they were gonna have

962
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: a chance to get. Maybe guys want to play here

963
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: who we didn't know. But they're gonna do exactly what

964
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: they have done because it's worked so well. They're gonna

965
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: go out and see if they can fill up the

966
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: holes in their roster with free agents and then see

967
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: if they can take the best player, the player that's

968
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,479
Speaker 1: going to have the best pro career at any point

969
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: in the draft where they get a chance to pick.

970
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: So that's where they're gonna go. That's where they'll stay.

971
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: With how they handle the salary cap remains to be seen,

972
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: because that's always in the mix. But I think it's

973
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: if you're gonna put percentages on it. I think it's

974
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: like ten, maybe fifteen percent behind where they were a

975
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: year ago, right, And that may prompt you to have

976
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: to trade a player, as you know, as we've already

977
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: said in the last hour, Brandon Bean said, they have

978
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: to get creative, and they will. It might not just

979
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: mean cutting players. You may have to trade a player

980
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: on your contract on your roster to alleviate and create

981
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: more cap space to sign the players you need to

982
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: fill the holes that were left behind by the twenty

983
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: two free agents that you headed out the door. I mean,

984
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: some of them conceivably will be back, but not all

985
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: of them. And if you don't feel you're getting the

986
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: proper rate of return on a high priced player on

987
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: your roster, you may look to move that player who

988
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: might find more success in a different environment, and you know,

989
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: alleviate yourself is some cap space or some cap commitment

990
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: by moving that player somewhere else and maybe getting draft

991
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: capital in return or a lower priced player in return

992
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: along with a draft choice. That's how creative Brandon Bean's

993
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to get this year. But we want

994
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that subject. At eight oh three five

995
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight eight five fifty two five fifty then

996
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: number to get on board and we go to Josh

997
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: in Niagara Falls next. What do you got for us? Josh,

998
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Live. Yeah, Hey, how are you

999
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: guys doing things? For taking my call? I just wanted

1000
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: to throw out there that basically, as far as our

1001
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: secondary goes, it's really good. Some thoughts that I had

1002
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: in reference to ways that we could really kind of

1003
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: trim the fat sort of speak and really, you know,

1004
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: maximize what we're getting for our book is realistically, I

1005
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: think we do need to. Some credit goes to the

1006
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: previous caller before the break. He was a little upset,

1007
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: but he had some substance and what he was speaking about.

1008
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: Like our younger players, I think we just need to

1009
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: play them more like when Shaquier and Elam were on

1010
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: the field, they played amazing. Elam saved a couple of

1011
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: playoff games some big place in my opinion, So if

1012
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: we and then honestly we we drafted Rousseau, look at

1013
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 1: where Ed Oliver's coming coming along. We just have to

1014
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: let these guys play and think about back when the

1015
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: offense started to get really dynamic, we made signings of

1016
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: players like John Brown and Cole Beasley that experienced some

1017
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: moderate success, but we didn't have to break the bank

1018
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: to pay them. So in my opinion, if we had to,

1019
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: because we didn't even have him for most of the year,

1020
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: do you think Davis White would hold any trade value.

1021
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: He's got a pretty bulky contract from what I understand,

1022
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: and we can definitely just play um a little more

1023
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: and find somebody's serviceable. The Bills ever since I can remember,

1024
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm pushing them almost forty years old, just to throw

1025
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: that out there, but basically, like I grew up, they've

1026
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: always drafted Nate Clements, Antoine Winfield, Dante Whitner. The Bills

1027
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: have never had any issues really with the secondary. Our

1028
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: defense has struggled with the run. So again, just put

1029
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: some faith some chemistry back into our defensive line and

1030
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: then maybe we have the resources to go get at

1031
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: least one more serviceable slot receiver. And I think even

1032
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: Gave Davis would benefit from having, you know, the loss

1033
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: of like a younger Cole Beasley or the Emmanuel Sanders. Yeah,

1034
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: all right, good call, Josh, thanks for it. As far

1035
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: as Trdams is concerned, the best time if you wanted

1036
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: to get out of his contract would be after this year.

1037
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: That's when you kind of have the potential out in

1038
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: his contract. So it's that would be the time. And

1039
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to say this, I think for Tradavious White

1040
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: coming back from the first major injury that he has

1041
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: ever had in his entire career. Outside of Roland Ankles,

1042
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: the guy has never had a major injury in his

1043
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: entire football career. It was a shock to the system

1044
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: and I think it was part of the reason why

1045
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: it took until Thanksgiving this year, a full calendar year,

1046
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: for him to come back and play. And even then,

1047
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: I am not convinced that he was over the mental

1048
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: hurdle of playing football on a major injury, namely an ACL.

1049
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Then you couple that with where he was at in

1050
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: the wake of the Damar Hamlin situation. You all saw

1051
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: the press conference. The guy was a mess. I don't

1052
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: think he was in the right frame of the mind

1053
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: to play football at the end of the season. He

1054
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: did it anyway, but I think we can all agree

1055
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: he didn't look like himself, and I think there were

1056
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: your lying reasons for that. I would give him the

1057
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt, let him reset the deck and

1058
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: see how he comes out in training camp this summer,

1059
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: because I think he's going to be a much better player,

1060
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: not only physically, but more importantly mentally, and gets back

1061
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: on his proper all business approach to football, which is

1062
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: what he was when he came into the league. He

1063
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: was all about football all the time, and I think

1064
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: some of that got compromised with the injury followed by

1065
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: the Damar Hamlin situation. It impacted his play greatly. I

1066
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: would agree, and I think i'd be hesitant to give

1067
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: up on a guy like Tradavious White. Not that you're

1068
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: not trading him is giving up on him. But um,

1069
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you. It's the knee injury that he got

1070
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: was was bad, and he's got a you know it's

1071
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: gonna everybody will tell you it's a one year physical,

1072
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, healing, and then you gotta it's another year

1073
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: to get back mentally. M it's a big time injury

1074
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: and you know there's no easy remedy for it. But

1075
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: and I'm with you too, the DeMar Hamlin situation, I

1076
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: think really Trey White took that harder than anybody in

1077
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: the locker room, in my opinion. So that's in the

1078
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: mix as well, and some of the stuff. I know

1079
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel good for fans, but that's out of

1080
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: everybody's control. And I don't know that you try and

1081
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: fix that problem that was caused by that, because it's

1082
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: going to fix itself over the course of an off

1083
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: season when Tredevius comes back, refreshed, healthy and now going

1084
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,959
Speaker 1: on two years after the injury, and not for nothing,

1085
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: Tredavius White's contract for a number one corner is pretty palatable.

1086
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: It's like a sixteen million dollar cap hit, which I

1087
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: know seems like a fat number. Darius Slay in Philadelphia

1088
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: his cap hit this year is ten million more than that.

1089
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: It's twenty six to one. Jalen Ramsey twenty five two

1090
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: March Seawan Lattimore twenty two four Jayhira, Alexander twenty point two,

1091
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey nineteen nine in Baltimore, TuS White is sixteen

1092
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,959
Speaker 1: and change. Now I get, I mean, that's affordable coming

1093
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: up this season. If Turdevious White comes back and plays

1094
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: like he has in the past, that is a bargain. Now,

1095
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: certainly this year he only played half the year and

1096
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, wasn't himself coming back, so you know you

1097
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: got to kind of take that. That's a tough pill

1098
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: to swallow. But they didn't have cap numbers, this cap

1099
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: issues this year coming into the season, so they had

1100
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: those all alleviated. So you know, this next year it

1101
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: does have a chance to be a really friendly contract

1102
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: and for a guy who's going to be and my

1103
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: mind's gonna be playing much much better coming this season.

1104
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: But all the other things that you said, trading this guy,

1105
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: trading you know, you know at Oliver and all the

1106
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: whole you know, nine yards that you said Tremaine Edmonds,

1107
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: that contract in that situation, all of that's on the table,

1108
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: no question about it. And I think if a guy,

1109
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: if you want to talk about a guy who is untradeable,

1110
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: the only guys in the league that are untradeable are

1111
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: the guys that are enormous difference makers for their club.

1112
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: Josh is one of those guys for this club. You

1113
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: make you make a case. Steph Diggs is a guy

1114
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: for this club that is like that. That's a pretty

1115
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: high bar. And that's that's about where it ends for me,

1116
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: maybe von miller Man. It's tough to think of another

1117
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 1: player who would be absolutely untouchable. And I know that

1118
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: sounds cruel and harsh, but that's the reality of the league.

1119
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: If a team comes in and wants to give you

1120
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: something that like wow, yeah, okay, we'll take it, everybody

1121
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: is pretty much on the on the chopping block. They're

1122
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: on the trade block. So you're right, it comes down

1123
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: to Brandon being Sean McDermott, and you know, Leslie Frasier,

1124
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Kenny Dorsey and all the staff, all the position coaches

1125
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: and everybody, and the scouts and the pro personnel guys.

1126
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: They come together and they're trying to pick the best

1127
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: players that they can get on their team for the

1128
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: cheapest money, obviously, but they're trying to pick the best players.

1129
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: That's it. That right there is where the rubber meets

1130
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: the road. If they pick the best players. If they

1131
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: pick the right guys, all this conversation we're having is worthless.

1132
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to. You've got to pick

1133
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: good players. That's why Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott have

1134
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: been successful to this point, and that's why the only

1135
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: way they're going to be successful going forward. You got

1136
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: to pick the right guys. You got to pick the

1137
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: right guys to keep on your roster that have been there,

1138
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: pick the right guys to get off your roster, and

1139
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: pick the right guys somewhere from some way, find a

1140
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: way to pay them to get them the right guys

1141
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: on your roster. That's it. I mean, that's the basics

1142
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: of what we're talking about. The money is just bookkeeping,

1143
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: but it is a factor who absolutes. It's limiting. It's

1144
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: a limiting factor. Yeah. It basically determines who you can

1145
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: afford to pursue in free agency. Even though you know

1146
01:06:58,240 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: you'd love to have this guy, but he's gonna call

1147
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: twenty five million per We don't have the room to

1148
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: accommodate that and still fill out the rest of our rosters.

1149
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: So we're gonna look at these guys who are going

1150
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,439
Speaker 1: to cost between eight and ten million dollars instead. It's

1151
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: not ideal, but it's the best we can do under

1152
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: the circumstances. And that's how you got to operate. And

1153
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: you're dealing with human beings, so you never know how

1154
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: this is gonna work out in the end, because these

1155
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 1: guys make their own decisions about how hard they're going

1156
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: to play, how well they're going to play, how much

1157
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna buy in. Are they going to be a

1158
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: different guy in Buffalo than they would have been then

1159
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: the other team that they've chose not to go to.

1160
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: Would they be better in Buffalo than they would be

1161
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: in Arizona? And you know, one guy's got to talk

1162
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: his wife and family into coming to Buffalo, and knowing

1163
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,919
Speaker 1: it's going to be a hard you know it's gonna

1164
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: be a better team, but it's Buffalo, it's not Phoenix Arizona.

1165
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: And until they get here and they start to see

1166
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: how they like, and all of a sudden, the guy

1167
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: flourishes and so does his family, and you get that

1168
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: kind of situation where the guy has his best year

1169
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: as a pro under your roof because he made a

1170
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: tough decision for his family and it turned out to

1171
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: be the right one. All that stuff is in the

1172
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: mix and in the stew that goes into free agency

1173
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: for all these guys. It's every individual player in the

1174
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: league making a decision for him and his family. And

1175
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 1: it's not easy all the time. It's not just about

1176
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: the money all the time. So and you get a

1177
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: guy once in a while like Micah Hyde and Jordan

1178
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: Poyer who show up here from two different teams, who

1179
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: turn into this phenomenal duo, you know, right, So that

1180
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: kind of stuff happens. That kind of stuff happens, and

1181
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for. How should the Bills navigate

1182
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: the salary cap this offseason? Let's go to the tweet

1183
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: sheet for some thoughts there brought to you by Corrigan

1184
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills,

1185
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: and we begin with from Let's go Buffalo. The solution

1186
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: and it involves luck is too draft. Well, this is

1187
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: what Steve was saying, keep your picks, try to get more.

1188
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,679
Speaker 1: You need to find a Tarren Johnson and the fourth,

1189
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 1: Leil Shakier in the fifth, the Christian Benford in the sixth,

1190
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: and a Dane Jackson in the seventh. Yeah, the Bills

1191
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: look like they're gonna have picks in each of the

1192
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: first six rounds. We're hearing that Naheim Hines played enough

1193
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: snaps to turn the conditional sixth into a fifth for

1194
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,919
Speaker 1: the Colts. So the Bills may not have two fifths.

1195
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: They may have a one, two, three, four, five, and six.

1196
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 1: They do not have a seven this year. So yeah,

1197
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: they'll have to hit on all of those because they

1198
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: need cheap labor more than anything else. With the way

1199
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: the cap situation is, there's no debate about that. Tank

1200
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says need to restructure, Alan and Diggs,

1201
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: restructure and extend Milano, Dawkins, Bass and Hines. I think

1202
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Bass is a candidate to extend for sure. Maybe you

1203
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: can alleviate yourself from giving him a new contract and

1204
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: create some cap space that way. Milano, I think he's

1205
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: got two years left on the extension he signed. Maybe

1206
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: a tack on a year spread some money out, put

1207
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: some money in his pocket to get him to agree

1208
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, and you know, Josh Allen, sure you

1209
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: can take some of that base salary and put it

1210
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 1: into bonus. Stick the money in his pocket right away,

1211
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: and then amortize that money as Steve was explaining earlier THO,

1212
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: there's a multitude of things you can do to move

1213
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: the money around to try to create cap space. We've

1214
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: seen other teams and more extreme circumstances do it and survive.

1215
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean the Saints once again, they're fifty seven million over.

1216
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: They were seventy five million over last year, and they

1217
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: made it somehow work. I don't know. Mark on the tweet,

1218
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Chet says, mirror what Kansas City has done. That's kind

1219
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: of what I was hinting at earlier in the show,

1220
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: because they're about two years ahead of where the Bills

1221
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: are in their build, in their progress. And this past

1222
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: offseason they got rid of a guy that wanted more

1223
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: money as their number one receiver in Tyreek Hill because

1224
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 1: they could not afford to pay him thirty million dollars

1225
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: a year. Now he got his money from Miami, they

1226
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: found a willing trade partner. Fortunately, the Bills may have

1227
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: to look at that in a similar way. Not a

1228
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver. They obviously want to keep Digs in the fold,

1229
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 1: but maybe at another position where they don't feel they're

1230
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,839
Speaker 1: getting the best bang for their buck. Maybe they trade

1231
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: that player who can flourish in a different scenario somewhere

1232
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: else and create cap space that way. I think that's

1233
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 1: one of the creative ways in which Brandon Bean might

1234
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: be able to create some cap space in addition to

1235
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: some of the other more traditional means that we've seen

1236
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: the team undertake before. From Philip, free up cap space

1237
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 1: with a few restructures, Josh von Dion Trey save around

1238
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: forty four million. Oh, he's done the math, apparently, rework

1239
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: hinds and free up space. See if you can get

1240
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: Tremaine for less than fifteen million a year. If not,

1241
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: move on, invest heavily in the O line D line

1242
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: and a wide receiver. Cut McKenzie draft O line D line,

1243
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: a wide receiver in the first three rounds, and a

1244
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: running back late a lot there. Steve to unpack Philip

1245
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: with the comprehensive plan we've talked about all every little

1246
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: bit of this. Certainly they're going to restructure whoever they

1247
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: can the names, he said, Josh von Dion Tree, you

1248
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: can rework all of those guys and amortize that money

1249
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 1: and get like he said, forty four million back. I

1250
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: don't know if you can get that much, but okay,

1251
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: and you're right that Tremaine Edmonds is going to be

1252
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 1: a hard conversation to have. It's a position that and

1253
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Tremaine is a guy we all love and respect. I

1254
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: don't know if middle linebacker, the inside linebacker in a

1255
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: four three defense which plays nickel all the time, I

1256
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: don't know if that spot, that position is as valuable

1257
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,719
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver number two in today's NFL, right,

1258
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:48,440
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, the perceived premium positions in the league nowadays,

1259
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: our quarterback, pass rusher, left tackle, wide receiver, corner, right,

1260
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: those are the premium positions and the other ones fall

1261
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: by the wayside. You can still make a lot of

1262
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: good money at those positions, make double digit millions right

1263
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 1: at those positions. But if a team is backed into

1264
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: a corner financially, they're only gonna buckle at those premium positions,

1265
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: and that linebacker spot is not one of them. It's

1266
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: just not right. The run game is less. Less people

1267
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,719
Speaker 1: put emphasis on the run game now, so you don't

1268
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: need guys like, you know, Pepper Johnson stepping up in there,

1269
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: or Shane Conlin or somebody like that. You need guys

1270
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 1: like Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano, Guys that can run

1271
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: sideline to sideline to pursue people who's who's prep. You

1272
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 1: know a guy like Tremaine whose presence is so big

1273
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: that he's he scares quarterbacks off throws just because he's

1274
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: in the area. Um, but how valuable is that guy

1275
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: and how big a drop off is you is that

1276
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:51,680
Speaker 1: guy from this other guy? Whoever else you can get?

1277
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: How big is a drop off gonna be? Is it

1278
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: going to be significant? Some of it goes to the intangibles,

1279
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: the guys on the field. I mean, that's the voice

1280
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: you hear, Tremaine holes to plays, makes the checks. He's

1281
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: the guy that they're looking at through a very difficult season.

1282
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: Is that worth part of the reason you keep him? Yeah,

1283
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:12,680
Speaker 1: it's part of the reason. But I don't know that

1284
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: it's the tipping factor. Yeah. The other thing we should

1285
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: make note of is Dion and Trey have helped the

1286
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: team in previous off seasons with restructures. I think multiple times.

1287
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think Dion and Trey

1288
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: have both done twice more than one restructure since they've

1289
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: signed their extensions. Can you go to them with hat

1290
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: in hand a third time? I don't know. Oh, I

1291
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: don't think it's problem. They don't mind doing it. I mean,

1292
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: as long as they get money in their pockets. Now,

1293
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: they don't take less money in the key, it's not

1294
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: about taking less money. It's about it's cash flows basically

1295
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: what it is. And it's not a big deal. The

1296
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 1: players don't mind doing it at all, so long as

1297
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 1: they get their money. Yeah, I mean the money's the money.

1298
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: In fact, give it to me now if I just well,

1299
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: if I bury it in the backyard, it'll be more

1300
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: money than I have when I get it, you know,

1301
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 1: a little by little. So that's the incentive. Yeah, that's

1302
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: the incentive for them. If they can be disciplined, and

1303
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: which most of them are, it makes no difference. So yeah,

1304
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: they can restructure if the club wants to, they can,

1305
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:16,719
Speaker 1: and the players will do it. But like I said,

1306
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: you got to it's not the players you have to

1307
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: go to your hat in hand with. It's the owners.

1308
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: They're the ones that write the checks. Yep, we have

1309
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: to take a break here, more of your thoughts on

1310
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet and maybe a little NFL true false

1311
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: when we return here On One Bill's Live presented by

1312
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1313
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 1: with you one Bills Live here on a Tuesday, And

1314
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: just to wrap up some of the comments from Justin

1315
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, he was saying that or not Justin,

1316
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I jumped ahead there and we were up

1317
01:15:56,200 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: to Philip. He said, add a wide receiver, hut McKenzie,

1318
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: draft O line, D line, a wide receiver in the

1319
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 1: first three rounds, and a running back late. I mean,

1320
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: you know history has shown you can draft a running

1321
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: back late and find somebody presuming he doesn't expect to

1322
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: have singletary back because of the costs involved. And so yeah,

1323
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: get a third running back late. Look at the Chiefs

1324
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,680
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco seventh round. The guy winds up at the

1325
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: end of the season being the starter in his rookie year.

1326
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: There are guys to be found out there. The decision

1327
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: by Philip to cut McKenzie is an interesting one, and

1328
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:36,600
Speaker 1: this is part of the rate of return discussion that

1329
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 1: you know the front office is going to have. They're

1330
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 1: going to look at all these players McKenzie included and say, hey,

1331
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: he played this many snaps per game, here's his production.

1332
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: Does that line up with what he costs us it's

1333
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:54,480
Speaker 1: literally a cost benefit analysis on players. And if they

1334
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: deemed that his contributions weren't worthy of the salary he

1335
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 1: was being paid and he was pretty affordable, well then yeah,

1336
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 1: they might move on from him to invest those dollars

1337
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 1: and what they feel is a more suitable commodity to

1338
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: help them win football games. So it's possible, sure, yeah.

1339
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: And it's about Also it's about people that we don't

1340
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: know about yet, meaning like last year, we didn't know

1341
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: it was about Tim Settled and de Kuan Jones, and

1342
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: we didn't know it was about Jordan Phillips and all

1343
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: these guys, Shack Lawson coming back all you know, all

1344
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: these guys. You don't know it's about those guys until

1345
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: they show up. Um, it comes down to and it's

1346
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 1: not just about the player that the Bills have on

1347
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: the roster. It's also about the importance they place on

1348
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: that player's position that that goes a long way as well.

1349
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: That's why Tremaine Edmonds, as good as he is, he's

1350
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 1: not going to make Roquan Smith money. You know, Roquan

1351
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Smith just broke the bank as a middle inside linebacker

1352
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:57,679
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens. He's he's he's a fantastic player.

1353
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: I don't think there is a player on the and

1354
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 1: it no matter who it is, that the Bills want

1355
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 1: to pay twenty million dollars to at that spot because

1356
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: it's just not a spot that is coveted by this

1357
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: defensive franchise. You know that they just do things differently

1358
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: than the Baltimore Ravens do. Now. I don't know Roquan Smith.

1359
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: He's obviously a tremendous player and he may bring something

1360
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: intangibly to the table. I'm sure he does, but that's

1361
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: a number that most teams or a lot of teams

1362
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: will not pay that position. Now, when you get to

1363
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback spot, sky's the limit. You gotta have that guy,

1364
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 1: and if you believe he is that guy, you gotta

1365
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 1: pay what it takes. The same thing was like wide

1366
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 1: receiver one. If you got that guy, keep him. And

1367
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: the Bills have done a nice job with Steph Diggs

1368
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: of keeping him the lid on his by standing the

1369
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,679
Speaker 1: market change. Even when the market change, they kept making

1370
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: it worth it for him. So you know, that's what

1371
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: they do, and that's what they've got to do. So

1372
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 1: when you get to these places and like a von Miller.

1373
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:02,799
Speaker 1: They they kind of pop the bank for von Miller

1374
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: because that's a spot they need. They cove it and

1375
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: they've been trying to get and haven't been able to.

1376
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: And they've got a guy that is definitely a guy

1377
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:13,720
Speaker 1: that can do it and they paid him free agent money.

1378
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: That's where they're at. And they did it to corner.

1379
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 1: That's just like Chris said, it's and left tackle. They've

1380
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: done it. So but look at the job that Arren

1381
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: Johnson and Matt Milano did. Those guys are good numbers,

1382
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: but they're not breaking the bank numbers. They're okay numbers,

1383
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: just right around ten million a year, maybe a little

1384
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, up or down. Karen's about eight and Milano's

1385
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: about ten. Yeah, so those guys are and those guys

1386
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: are difference makers. So and that's all. And it's a

1387
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: big number, but it's not twenty five million a year.

1388
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 1: It's like less than two and a half times less

1389
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: than that. So yeah, that's where they're at. And Tremaine

1390
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: Edmonds is going to have to choose his spot and

1391
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: he'll be able to. I think he'll probably reach the

1392
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,719
Speaker 1: market and see what it goes, and the bills will

1393
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 1: have told him that what their number is going to be,

1394
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 1: and if he can beat it, they'll give him a

1395
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 1: hug and thank him and wish him well. And whoever

1396
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: gets him is going to get a really good player. Yeah,

1397
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: Justin on the tweet sheet says, resign Poyer, let Edmonds walk,

1398
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 1: trade Oliver, restruct your Trey White seems like he's lost

1399
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 1: a step. Redo contracts on Alan and Vaughan to free

1400
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: up money for run stopping d Lineman and a power

1401
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: running back. Resigning Poyer is an interesting exercise because you're

1402
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: already paying Micah Hyde over ten million a year. Granted

1403
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: he's got one year left on his deal. Payer also

1404
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: turns age thirty two this season. Resigning him on a

1405
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: multi year deal. Some would tell you is not good

1406
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: business because of the trajectory of his career. Now I know,

1407
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: Jordan has said he feels he's got three or four

1408
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: good years left in him, and far be it from

1409
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: me to bet against Jordan Poyer. He's proving himself on

1410
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 1: the field time over just about every year he's been here.

1411
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: But when you are as cap strapped as the bills are,

1412
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: do you pour a heavy investment into a thirty two

1413
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: year old safety knowing you may only get one good

1414
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 1: year out of him. I don't know if that's the

1415
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 1: way they can even afford to go if they wanted to.

1416
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,720
Speaker 1: Justin wants to let Edmonds walk if he's priced out

1417
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: of your market range that you can afford, knowing you

1418
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: have all the other holes you have to fill, you

1419
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 1: may have to trading Oliver if you feel like he's

1420
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 1: not giving you the return on investment. He's going to

1421
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: make ten point seven million this year, which is in

1422
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things relatively affordable around the league.

1423
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:47,600
Speaker 1: But if he's not giving you what you thought he

1424
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: should be, then yeah, you may need to explore that

1425
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: as well. Give yourself some cap space by moving on

1426
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: from him and try to better spend the money to

1427
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: fortify your defensive front or somewhere else on your roster

1428
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: that you think needs improvements. Restructuring White, that's fine. We

1429
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: already got into why we feel he hasn't played up

1430
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,879
Speaker 1: to his standard this past year. Injury into mar Hamlin's situation.

1431
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: I think way heavily in that he wants to redo

1432
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: contracts on Alan and Vaughan to free up money. Fine

1433
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 1: power running back Steve. We've heard this from a lot

1434
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: of Bill's fans. They want a power running element in

1435
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo's backfield. I think to take some of the pressure

1436
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 1: off Josh to run as much as he does. I

1437
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: think they tried to find that in Zach Moss. It

1438
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 1: did not work. What do you say to adding that

1439
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: to the running back room? That's fine. Whatever they can

1440
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,600
Speaker 1: find one get him. I don't think you'd make a

1441
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 1: heavy investment in that. They're going to throw it more

1442
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: than they run it. That's what matter how this goes. So, Yeah,

1443
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: if that makes people feel better, that's fine. I'm not

1444
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: a You got Tennessee, Baltimore. Maybe San Francisco goes into

1445
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 1: that about that's about it, and there's a reason for it,

1446
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: particularly since two of those teams are in the NFC.

1447
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: UM they don't have Josh Allen, pad Mahomes, Joe Burrow,

1448
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert Franz. Yeah, they just Stimore in Tennessee. I

1449
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: have to contend with those teams R Baltimore in Tennessee

1450
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: do but they can't, right, they can't. They can't keep

1451
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 1: up UM. So I yeah, I get it. It makes

1452
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: you feel good when you've got a big power running game.

1453
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 1: You can go in there and rush for six yards

1454
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: even on a play that the defense feels like they won. Um,

1455
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: it's just um. I think it's a pipe dream. Yeah

1456
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 1: quite Frankly, Irma on the tweet sheet says, say farewell

1457
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: to Edmund Saffold, Keenham Crowder Kumero, question Barry Van Roden Sweene.

1458
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 1: In singletary, Irma's bringing out the acts. What's go big

1459
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: time slashing, She says, franchise tag Poyer, restruct your top

1460
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: contracts to clear space. Then sign Saquon Barkley. Here's another

1461
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: name that's come up from time to time. People were

1462
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:17,719
Speaker 1: talking about making a move for him at the trade

1463
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 1: deadline last October, and now people are talking about him

1464
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: as a free agent. The guy is going to command

1465
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 1: bookoo bucks and at running back for a guy that's

1466
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 1: going to be turning I think twenty six. I don't

1467
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: know if I want to sign up for that. Even

1468
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: as talented as he is, his market value is going

1469
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: to be approximately twelve million a year. You can't pay

1470
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 1: that kind of money, not in the position the Bills

1471
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: are in. Even if they do clear some cap space,

1472
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 1: twelve million on a running back. They don't run the

1473
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: ball enough to do that to justify a twelve million

1474
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: a year contract, I don't think. And most of the

1475
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 1: guys that she's talking about are role players, yes, but

1476
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 1: also Edmonds Is contracts up, Keendom's contracts up, Crowder maybe

1477
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: up kus Kums up, crowderaries up, Van Roten's up, Sweeney's

1478
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,280
Speaker 1: up on Singletary's up. All those players have an opportunity

1479
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 1: to beat out anyway. They don't have to say goodbye

1480
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 1: to them. So yeah, they're free agents. They're free agents. Um,

1481
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: you still got a field a roster of forty nine

1482
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: guys on Sunday, and you better have some pretty good guys.

1483
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: So it's easy enough to say goodbye to those people.

1484
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna be signing of the eight guys people that

1485
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: you just named. You need eight guys that are complete

1486
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: strangers to us right now to come in play for him.

1487
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:42,759
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know how you're signing

1488
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: up for that right now without knowing that who they are.

1489
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be easy. We have to take a break here,

1490
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: but some final thoughts on the tweet sheet when we

1491
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,680
Speaker 1: return here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health,

1492
01:25:52,720 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio Welcome back to One Bills Live.

1493
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve task your one final segment to go in.

1494
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: Some final thoughts on the tweet sheet concerning our topic

1495
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:15,839
Speaker 1: of the day. How should the Bills navigate the salary

1496
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:18,719
Speaker 1: cab this offseason? Know when they're up against it, and well,

1497
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: not up against it, they're over it. JQ says, being

1498
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: so far over the cap, they may not have many options.

1499
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: Keep as many of the starters that you can draft

1500
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 1: and pay cheap free agents to fill the holes. JT says,

1501
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 1: restructure a few contracts. Hopefully you have enough to bring

1502
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,759
Speaker 1: in another star wide receiver opposite Digs to take pressure

1503
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: off of him, preferably as speedy wide receiver. We don't

1504
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 1: have any breakaway speed players. We need to open up

1505
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: the field for. Josh also draft b Jean Robinson running

1506
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:50,160
Speaker 1: back Texas dudes a stud that is a powerback five

1507
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 1: ft two hundred and twenty pounds and he runs like

1508
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:56,560
Speaker 1: a deer. But what about the receiver question, Steve, I

1509
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:00,440
Speaker 1: don't think anybody debates the fact that Buffalo should add

1510
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 1: ad somebody that can be a bona fide number two.

1511
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: You're in wind now mode, so you would say, all right,

1512
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: get a veteran that can fill that role. But then

1513
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:14,560
Speaker 1: the cost becomes an issue. Do you draft one high

1514
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: or do you sign one in free agency? And is

1515
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: it enough, knowing where receiver salaries are these days, to

1516
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 1: get it done, which should be if you do I

1517
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: would do both. I mean I would right yeah, I

1518
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 1: would sign a guy in free agency who's got a

1519
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: chance to be really really good, somebody along the lines,

1520
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: like like the Patriots did a few years ago with

1521
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,879
Speaker 1: Nelson Agalore. A guy who's got a great physical ability,

1522
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:40,559
Speaker 1: and you think maybe in a different system or in

1523
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 1: your room, he's going to be better. You get a chance,

1524
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,680
Speaker 1: And then I'm with you, I'd draft one of those

1525
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: jokers up high. It's not supposed to be a really

1526
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: deep draft for those guys, but there's gonna be some

1527
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 1: guys with some traits available. Let's get him in and

1528
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 1: see one. So I think I think you attack it

1529
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 1: on both fronts. I think I'm kind of with a

1530
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:00,799
Speaker 1: lot of the fans. I'd like to see the passing

1531
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 1: game give Josh as much help as you can on

1532
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. Plus, you know your offensive

1533
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 1: line's gonna have to come together, but you need to

1534
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 1: get some got some weapons that put some Yeah, maybe

1535
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,760
Speaker 1: strike some fear into some people if you can, mister

1536
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,640
Speaker 1: j W says, let Edmunds employer, walk cut, Neil and

1537
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: McKenzie draft powerhouse lineman and quick wide receivers. Then bring

1538
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 1: in pieces to fill out the defense. If we keep

1539
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 1: the offense in the top ten, we can win with

1540
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,640
Speaker 1: a top twenty defense. I think this is along the

1541
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 1: lines of what a lot of people are saying. Go

1542
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: all in on offense. Help Josh as much as you

1543
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: can both protection and in weapons, and then if you

1544
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 1: have to patch some holes on the defensive side and

1545
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 1: slide a little bit there, you should be able to

1546
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: still compete. I don't know how much you want to slide.

1547
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,680
Speaker 1: I want to check real quick. Kansas City had the

1548
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: eleventh ranked defense in the league. They were sixteenth in

1549
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: points allowed, and they did take a step back. They

1550
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 1: played a lot of younger players, weren't quite as formidable

1551
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 1: on the back seven, but they still had some important

1552
01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 1: guys up front and made it work. That's why it's

1553
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: going to be so I yeah, I think the Bills

1554
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 1: are gonna look at in free agency and in the draft.

1555
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at their best options. They're gonna go

1556
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: for their best options, and they're gonna build their team

1557
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: from there. I don't know that it'll look like Kansas

1558
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 1: City or Cincinnati, but I still think they're gonna win

1559
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 1: a ton of games because of the guys they are

1560
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: going to have. That'll do it for us. Today, we're

1561
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: back here, same bad time, same bad channel. Tomorrow we
