Do 110 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: you think a couple other type games too. 111 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 3: Do you think the nil stuff and the different landscape 112 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: and football has made so there's not you know, you 113 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: don't get the you know, the cinderellas anymore, you know, 114 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: because that the well transscause. 115 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: The mid majors, you know, which occasionally have a good 116 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: team that's either a stayed intacted together for three or 117 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 2: four years and they're just a better team, or some 118 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: mid major team that has some kid that probably should 119 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: have played at a bigger school but maybe had an 120 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: injury a senior year, and those kids are there no 121 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: because as soon as those kids have a good year 122 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 2: at that school, they get recruited by a major program 123 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 2: and they're gone. 124 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: And so this is the first time. 125 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: The Sweet sixteen is made up of only Power four 126 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 2: Conference teams, seven of which are SEC teams, which was 127 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: the best conference in college basketball by a mile. You go, 128 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: I mean, that's it's unfortunate, but that's kind of where 129 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: we are it. 130 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 3: But you know, the I get it. It's there's isn't 131 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 3: as good a story. It's still a great sport. 132 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the games are highly competitive, you know, but 133 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: you're not gonna get as I don't think you're gonna 134 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 2: get as many upsets going forward as you used to. 135 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's just the way it's gonna it is now. 136 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: Uh and I a little bit romanticized, a little sad, 137 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: but I don't. 138 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: Know if you saw. 139 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: But so, Michigan is still in the tournament in the 140 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen, and one of their players has entered the 141 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: transfer portal. It's actually Scotty Pippen's son who plays at Michigan. 142 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: He's submitted his name. 143 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: To the transfer portal. They're still playing games. They have 144 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: a game next this week. 145 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: Is he playing? What does that mean? Does he played 146 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: for them? 147 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: I'm asking if somebody knows the transfer portal rules, lay 148 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: it on us. 149 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: I mean, we're we're kind of in the football end 150 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: of the spectrum here. I'm not going to pretend to 151 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: know the transfer portal rules, but I saw that's popped 152 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: up in my feed. He's entering his name in the 153 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: transfer portal. He's a four star player, he plays for Michigan. 154 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: Michigan's still playing now. Maybe the transfer portal deadline doesn't 155 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: make it conducive to players that are still playing in 156 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: the tournament. Maybe they're the deadline was yesterday or today. 157 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: I don't know, to put your name in the portal, 158 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: but now everybody on his team knows he's leaving. 159 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that does that at least awkward, right unless unless 160 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 3: they unless he told them say less, I'm gonna do it. 161 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: And even if we win. 162 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: He gave him my heads up and they're gonna do it, 163 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: and YadA YadA, I'm gonna gave him a warning. So 164 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: it wasn't out of the blue for these for his teammates. 165 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: But even so, I don't know what kind of minutes 166 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: the kid even plays. 167 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna pretend to know. I don't watch a 168 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: ton of ball, but. 169 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: That's that is a new that's a new world right there. 170 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: That's a different world than we one we've lived in 171 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: in decades past, having a guy like walking off into 172 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: the sunset when you're in the sweet sixteen. Yeah, that 173 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: doesn't he may play I don't know who knows, but 174 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 3: what are you gonna do? It's it's a strange place 175 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: we're in. 176 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. 177 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 5: Uh. 178 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at just a couple of Bills 179 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 2: notes that I came across that I felt were worth 180 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: mentioning here. 181 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 5: Uh. 182 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: ESPN after free agency ranked the Bills fourth in their 183 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: off season power rankings. They also called the re signing 184 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: of Ty Johns and their best under the Radar move, 185 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: So they were offseason power rankings followed by their best 186 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: under the Radar move. So they listed the re signing 187 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: of Ty Johnson as their best under the radar move. 188 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: Fourth is kind of where I expected them to be. 189 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: Kind of expect the Eagles to be listed ahead of them, 190 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: among others We've usually seen like the Eagles, the Chiefs, 191 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: the Ravens, the Bills, and the Lions some combination of 192 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: those five teams more often than not. 193 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: Here through the course of the offseason. 194 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 3: Bill the Bills are usually right. It's kind of like 195 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: where it ended up at the end of the season there, yeah, 196 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 3: in the top five four or five, three, four, five, 197 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: something like that. 198 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: NFL dot COM's Chad Ruter put out a four round 199 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: mock draft, and in round one he had the Bills 200 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: trading up to pick twenty four, which is going to 201 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: be a very popular choice for a lot of people 202 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: because they know Minnesota only has four picks. All the 203 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: way up to twenty four in a trade with Minutes Soda, 204 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,119 Speaker 2: with Buffalo taking Florida state cornerback as Aurea Thomas. 205 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: Here was Ruter's assessment. 206 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: Buffalo moves up to secure Thomas's six to one and 207 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: a quarter one hundred ninety seven pound frame, giving up 208 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: their two fourth round selections to Minnesota along with pick thirty. 209 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: The Vikings could stay put and take a defensive back themselves, 210 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 2: but they currently only have four picks in the draft, 211 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: so adding two early Day three picks might be worth 212 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: the risk of moving down the board a bit. Here 213 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: was the most interesting part of the trade. 214 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: At thirty. 215 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 2: Ruters mock has the Vikings taking South Carolina safety Nicki 216 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: Manwari at thirty. After his combine workout, I wasn't convinced 217 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: he's gonna make it down there. 218 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: Maybe he does. No, no. 219 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: He Also here's the part where I think he goes 220 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: off the rails though, after taking the corner as Area 221 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: Thomas from Florida State at twenty four. In this proposed 222 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: trade up, he also has the Bills taking a safety 223 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 2: and a receiver in too. And I find it hard 224 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: to believe that the Bills are not going to add 225 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: at least one defensive lineman in their first three picks, 226 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: especially knowing that in this scenario with the trade up, 227 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: they not only do not have a third round pick, 228 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 2: but they don't have any fourth round picks either because 229 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 2: they traded them to Minnesota to move up the board. 230 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. 231 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: There's no way they're not taking a big man somewhere 232 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: in their. 233 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: First three picks. 234 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 6: Yeah. 235 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, if it. 236 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: Makes you feel any better. Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft, also 237 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: from NFL dot Com. He's got the Bills taking defensive 238 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 2: tackle Kenneth Granted pick thirty. 239 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 3: So Kennith Grant's is not going to be there either. 240 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: I don't believe so, but these guys are. 241 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a little perturbed, are you? 242 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? I listen. 243 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 3: I love the Max, but I think the only way 244 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 3: to do it is the way we do it here 245 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: with Maddie. 246 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: She scours it. 247 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 3: She's already tracked. H then you get a consensus. 248 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: We do it in volume, right, Yeah, that's how you 249 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: do it. It's not a one off because one guy. 250 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: You know. 251 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how you do it. I agree with the 252 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 3: way we do it here. Maddie does a great job 253 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: breaking all that down. So you find out which guys 254 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: and which position groups have been you know, for the 255 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: line's share of picks. 256 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: And you know. 257 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 3: We're gonna get a big We're gonna get a big 258 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: dude right now today, which is what everybody's working with. 259 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm they're not gonna you're not gonna move 260 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: up to take this corner. 261 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: What is this guy's drunk? And they're not gonna trade away. 262 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: Come on, and they're not gonna get emon. Worry, leave 263 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 3: em and worry on the board for the vikings at 264 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 3: thirty they might. 265 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: Trade up to take even worry. You're not gonna leave him. No, 266 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: that's dumb. I think you tell that you're really go 267 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: oh man, I think he's probably off. 268 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: You're operating under the argument that corner is a more 269 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: important position than safety and I think you could argue, 270 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: at least right now, I get it, as Buffalo's roster 271 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: is currently constituted that corner is the thinner position than safety. 272 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: Right now, as we sit here today, I think that's fairs. 273 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 3: And I apologize Chad Rud for taying that's dumb, but 274 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: come on, I don't agree Chad. 275 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: He does. 276 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 3: He's been on our show too, so I'm nice to him. 277 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: He's a friend of the show, so I'm having fun 278 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 3: at his expense because he's not here to defend himself. 279 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: It's unclear to us because we don't know the full 280 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: give and take here, but there appears to be some 281 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: kind of online Twitter battle between former Bills receiver Stevie 282 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: Johnson and Hall of Fame inductee to B Durell Revis. 283 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 2: I checked Revas's Twitter handle. I don't see anything on 284 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 2: his general messages. Suffice it to say Stevie is perturbed 285 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: about some kind of comments that Revas has made to 286 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: other people about Stevie, and so Stevie has been replying 287 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: on Twitter to the masses and adding Revis twenty four, 288 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: which is his official Twitter handle, basically saying, you know, 289 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 2: don't speak bad about me. I produced against you, unlike 290 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: a lot of other receivers. 291 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: In the league. 292 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: And he got a little ornery, saying, don't play with me. 293 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: And then he followed it up with another tweet since 294 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: we got here in studio and oh goodness, he says, 295 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: never even heard your voice on the field. How you're 296 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: so quick to talk back? Then, just someone that's been 297 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: cool at in you. He said, you don't have to reply, 298 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: but don't reply negative about me to people that don't 299 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: even at you. This isn't the first time seeing these 300 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: tendencies from you. Fix the expletive. 301 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: So something's brewing there. 302 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: Not going to pretend to know what it is, but 303 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: it's got Stevie hot and bothered. 304 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: It's hot under the collar. 305 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 3: And I'll say this, Stevie might have been the most 306 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: successful wide receiver in drelh Revs' career against him. 307 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I would say if he's not one, 308 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: he's right, he's one. 309 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 3: A and so and he can and see if he 310 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: can talk all he wants, but all listen, Drell's getting 311 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: a gold jacket so he can. He didn't have to reply. 312 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know what what lit the fuse, 313 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: but sounds like he was speaking out a turn to 314 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: some degree, but whatever. Yeah, Yeah, so we'll see where 315 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: it goes. We'll try to keep tabs on it for you. 316 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: But I think it's safe to say that he's not 317 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: he's not happy with how he's being portrayed by some 318 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: grievous in some context here. So we'll see if more 319 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 2: light is shed on that and bring it to you. 320 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: And because he's still even though he played during the 321 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: drought era, I think he's still one of the more 322 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: popular drought era players. 323 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: It's probably him Fred it fits. 324 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a successful as stretch for three year. 325 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 3: Is any receiver in Bill's history, I mean he was. 326 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: He was good. 327 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: But he was the first first receiver to have three 328 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: thousand three straight one thousand yard seasons, So that was 329 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: eventually surpassed that with four. 330 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: Sure, So. 331 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was one of the guys who thrived in 332 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: in that era where. 333 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: It was so difficult for a lot of Bills players 334 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: to do that. 335 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 3: The franchise is mired in mediocrity, and he was a 336 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: bright spot, no question about it. 337 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go around the NFL, which is presented by 338 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 2: Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Giants 339 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: added a quarterback to their roster over the weekend, just 340 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: not the one you were probably thinking. Jamis Winston was 341 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: signed over the weekend to a two year, eight million 342 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: dollar deal. Winston, as we know, played for Cleveland last 343 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: year thirteen touchdowns, twelve picks. Giants are said to still 344 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: be interested in Russell Wilson's services. Wilson has visited with 345 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 2: the US and the Giants. Nothing yet on the Pittsburgh 346 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 2: Steelers front with Aaron Rodgers, although signs are pointing to 347 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: an eventual marriage. There a good portion of Steelers fans, though, Steve, 348 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: this is what's interesting about this. They are up in 349 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: arms over the potential signing. They don't want to deal 350 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 2: with the drama that they saw us around Rogers while 351 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 2: he was with the Jets the last two years. Now, 352 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 2: apparently the Steelers and Rogers have had contract parameters in 353 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: place for weeks, so I can only assume at this 354 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: point the ball is in Rogers' court to sign, right like, 355 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 2: That's kind of where we. 356 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 3: Also think it's not the money that's that's the hold up, 357 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 3: that's for sure, Rogers. You know, maybe he's just doing 358 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 3: some self evaluation as he does every off season that 359 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 3: we're all so intimately aware of no for goodness, right, 360 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 3: So he may still be in his off season, you 361 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 3: know meditations. 362 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that California stuff that doesn't that doesn't wear 363 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: well in Pittsburgh, do you know what I mean? 364 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 3: Well, that it will be a much different atmosphere in 365 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh locker room and the relationship he has with, 366 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 3: you know, with the head coach, because if Aaron Rodgers 367 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 3: probably and I'm trying to think, yeah, I don't think 368 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 3: he's ever had a head coach as entrenched and powerful 369 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 3: and respected as Mike Tomlin in his career. Not with Mike, 370 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy certainly the way that ended Lafleur when he 371 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 3: came in. Certainly Iron Rodgers probably gave the stamp of 372 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 3: approval for that hiring. Then of course in New York, 373 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: where they couldn't, they fell over. 374 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: Themselves trying to sign uh. 375 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: So it was a different atmosphere there, and then you know, 376 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 3: the guy gets fired and you know the interim comes in. 377 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: He's gotta make it work with Aaron. So I. 378 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 3: Have a hard time seeing Mike Tomlin be swayed by 379 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 3: any of the Yeah, but let's quote Finger quotes drama 380 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 3: that Rogers is known. 381 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 2: For us because there I mean, there was drama leading 382 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 2: up to the signing. There was drama leading up to 383 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: his recovery from the Achilles tear, and then there was 384 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 2: drama last spring because he didn't show up to OTAs 385 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 2: that was voluntary, a huge, big deal. 386 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: Then he doesn't show up to mandatory mini camp. 387 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: Salah reveals later, well, you know, it's unexcused, and I'm 388 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: gonna find him. And then it was like, well, hold on, 389 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 2: we already talked about this, and so then it was 390 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 2: he said, he said, and the paper, you know, the 391 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 2: New York tabloids had a field day with that. And 392 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 2: then it was like, is he gonna come to training camp? Wait, 393 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 2: we don't know, like what's gonna happen? And Steelers fans 394 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: are like, yeah, I don't want any of that. 395 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah, that's exactly right. I don't think it'll 396 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 3: It won't go that way with Pittsburgh. I'm just telling you. 397 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 2: I hope not for their sake, he'll get he'll get dragged. 398 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 3: Not that he I don't even know if he cares 399 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 3: that he gets dragged, that's true. But Tomlin will say 400 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 3: how it is, and if he doesn't toe the line, 401 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 3: he's gonna hear about it. 402 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, because Toland's gonna bust out his line. 403 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: The standard is the standard. 404 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah. So I'm I think Pittsburgh and we've 405 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 3: said we've been saying it since this whole thing started 406 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 3: being a possibility. Pittsburgh's the place if you want to 407 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 3: win now this year, which Aaron Rodgers is not thinking 408 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 3: two years down the road. 409 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, so well, and it's not like there are a 410 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: lot of other budding opportunities, I mean. 411 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: Giants, and probably they're still reporting that he could finag 412 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 3: Rogers somehow could weasel his way to Minnesota, but I 413 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 3: don't that's off the table, I think from what's been 414 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 3: reported so uh. And also Kirk Cousins in Atlanta, all 415 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 3: of that stuff, Oh that. 416 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 2: Was that would cost you a pretty penny and Falcons 417 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: in terms of a cap hits. 418 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: And I think, but I think teams once Rogers settles, 419 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 3: because let's face it would it's a question you want 420 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins or you want Aaron Rodgers, which one you 421 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 3: think is better? And I don't know, for the sake 422 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 3: of purpose, let's just call it a toss up. At 423 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 3: this point, you're gonna pay one of them something. And 424 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 3: if you if you're gonna bring Kirk Cousins over trade 425 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 3: for him, Damn, there you go, I mean there, Yeah, 426 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: you gotta make a move for I don't know. 427 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: Like I saw Jameis Winston over the weekend, he signs 428 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 2: at the Giants, and the Giants know which way Rogers 429 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: is leaning. This is a backstop, fallback measure. 430 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: Yes, eight million bucks over two years. It's nothing. It's 431 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: a fallback measure. It's a backup. It's a backup money. 432 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, perhaps they're not convinced they're gonna have a real 433 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: shot at Rogers, who's probably leaning towards Pittsburgh. But we'll see. 434 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: Stranger things have happened with that guy. We know, that's 435 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: for sure. 436 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: More than two weeks after being arrested for allegations of 437 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 2: domestic abuse, Kansas City wide receiver Xavier Worthy is now 438 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: suing his ex fiance. Worthy claims that his ex fiance 439 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 2: both abused him and made up claims of domestic violence 440 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: in order to extort a home, money, cars, and other 441 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 2: valuables from him. He claims the whole relationship blew up 442 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: when he found out that she had cheated on him. 443 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: He is seeking more than two hundred and fifty thousand 444 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: in damages from her. 445 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: So there's that. Yeah, I mean you got to talk 446 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: about drama. Well, I mean that. But this is the Chiefs. 447 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 2: When they draft players, they're I think it's safe to 448 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 2: say based on the track record. I don't think I'm 449 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 2: saying anything that's unknown at this point, but based on 450 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 2: their drafting track record and free agent signing track record 451 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: for that matter, I don't they're not quite as discerning 452 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: with off the field issues for players do not care. 453 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 2: I mean, there is a long list of guys that 454 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: they have either drafted or signed in free agency that 455 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: don't necessarily pass the character smell test. 456 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and every. 457 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 3: Team has their share of history with guys who are actually. 458 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: On the team. Nobody's perfect. 459 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that club that's perfect. No club that's perfect. 460 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 3: But man oh man, there's some clubs that just like 461 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 3: they do not use that as one of the parameters 462 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 3: for evaluation, and the Chiefs seem to be one of 463 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 3: them that. Yeah, but this we knew, Well, it's still 464 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 3: gonna happen. I mean, what happens here with the worthy 465 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: thing is going to find out. 466 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 2: And then you got to find out what Rashid Rice's 467 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: suspension is going to be this summer. We'll find out 468 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 2: about that one. We know Kareem Hunt's history. He's back 469 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 2: with the team for a second go round, Tyreek Hill. 470 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 2: So the list is long, So just different ways of 471 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 2: doing things. I guess restricted free agent linebacker Christian Ellis, 472 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: who was tendered to qualifying offer by the New England 473 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: Patriots to remain a Patriot, signed an offer sheet with 474 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders. But the Patriots, this Raport coming 475 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 2: down from NFL Networks see and Rappaport, just matched the 476 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 2: offer to hold on. 477 00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: To the linebackers. 478 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: So they wanted to keep Christian Ellis in the fold, 479 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: and it looks like they've successfully done that. Meanwhile, Jets 480 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 2: free agent tight end Tyler Conklin landed in La agreed 481 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 2: to a one year deal with the Chargers over the 482 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 2: weekend and today, Steve the pro days continue on the 483 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 2: college circuit, and it's a big one today because it's 484 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 2: the University of Miami Pro Day, which means all eyes 485 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: are going to be on Hurricanes quarterback cam Ward, who 486 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: could be the first quarterback off the board on Draft 487 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: night one. 488 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Here is my greatest fear about how the board falls, 489 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: especially at the top. Here, because I think you and 490 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: I agree, I don't want to put words in your mouth. 491 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: You can confirm this for me. 492 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 2: Think you and I agree that the team that might 493 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 2: give the Bills the biggest headache in the division this season. 494 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: Could very well be the Patriots. 495 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: I think Vrabel is the most proven coach of the 496 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 2: rest of the bunch. They have a young quarterback who 497 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 2: looks promising, they have loads of money to spend right now, 498 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 2: and they have the fourth pick in the draft, and 499 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 2: they don't need a quarterback. 500 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: So here is my fear. Here is my fear. Tennessee. 501 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 2: Let's just say he they picked the pass rusher, okay, right, 502 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: and then let's say the Browns and Giants go quarterback 503 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 2: quarterback at two and three, cam Warden Sanders or whoever 504 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: else you want to put in there. 505 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: New England takes Travis Hunter fourth. Yeah, that's why I 506 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: would prefer not to see that. 507 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 3: Why you think the guys should be good on both 508 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 3: sides of the ball play one hundred and fifty. 509 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play. 510 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna play exclusively receiver if he goes 511 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: to the Patriots, because they have Christian Gonzales at one 512 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: sided corner and they just signed I think it was yeah, 513 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: yeah Davis to a giant contract star on the other side, 514 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 2: so they don't need him to play corner. He's gonna 515 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: play full time wide receiver if they draft him fourth overall. 516 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: And that kid's pretty special at receiver. 517 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: Pretty special. 518 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: So one thing I do not want to happen on 519 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 2: Draft night one is Travis Hunter to the Patriots at four. 520 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 3: What if the Patriots do take Travis Hunter, they are 521 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 3: gonna play him specifically exclusively a wide receiver, and he 522 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 3: throws a hissy fit? 523 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Why? Why do you think? 524 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 3: Because he wants to play both ways and his coat 525 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 3: his coach Del Sanders, he loves, he loves football. He 526 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 3: doesn't like but he loves for Well, welcome to the club. 527 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: But so the kid, you'll take your marching orders from. 528 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: Us, right, except the kid doesn't want to march. Okay, 529 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 3: I'm just telling you man. 530 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 2: That, then don't play all this mean, come on, come on, 531 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 2: what are you gonna do. 532 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: I just don't want him to end up in New England. 533 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't need to have to deal with that guy. 534 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 3: For well, whoever they take is gonna be a dynamite. 535 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: I know. 536 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 3: I mean good, we're not gonna get a break.

They're gonna get, you know, Abdual 539 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 3: Carter or whoever Tennessee. Does Tennessee take cam Ward? 540 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: It's possible. 541 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 3: I would you know, Will Levis's is okay, He's okay. 542 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the big question. 543 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 2: And usually a day or two before the draft you 544 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: find out, you know, the national reporters with their mining 545 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 2: and whatnot, find out. 546 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: Who the first pick is gonna be. 547 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 3: Usually sometimes not until day of the draft, right, but 548 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: it usually comes down because the agent's getting with. 549 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 2: Yes, Like that's how we found out about Baker Mayfield 550 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen.

We're on a Monday. 583 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: What off season move holds the most potential for the 584 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: Bills in twenty twenty five? 585 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: You let us know what you believe that is. 586 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 2: At eight oh three h five fifty one eight eight 587 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty the numbers to get on board. 588 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: Got an open line for you there or two. But 589 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: we lead off today with Tom on the west side. 590 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Tom? 591 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 7: Hey, guys, looking at your question on the internet. And 592 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 7: Quimby or Blee or whatever whatever his handle is, he 593 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 7: was talking up Mosa and I kind of agree with that, 594 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 7: but I'm going to say it's more Hoit and Ogan 595 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 7: jobu Ogan Joby, whatever his name is. After they come 596 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 7: back from their suspension. Now, my question is that I 597 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 7: would like you to try to answer, is how come 598 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 7: I don't hear of them trying to appeal their suspension 599 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 7: and get it reduced like every other player in the 600 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 7: NFL seems to do. I'm going to hang up and 601 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 7: listen for your answer. 602 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: Thanks, guys, thanks for the call. Town appreciate it. Why 603 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: they don't appeal it. 604 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 3: This is different than a lot of suspensions because it's 605 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: not behavioral. It's you know, kind of cutting dried. 606 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: Now. The test is the test. The test is the test. 607 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 3: So you'll see you'll hear guys appeal their suspension when 608 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 3: they get caught for something on the field like hitting. 609 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: The quarterback in the head or you know, one of 610 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: those other things. But they don't. 611 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 3: You know, there's really no room for sus for appeal 612 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 3: when the test results say what they are. Plus that 613 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 3: in these things, they the player always has the ability 614 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 3: or the freedom to get a second test or take 615 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 3: a second sample at the same time and send it 616 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 3: to an all that stuff. 617 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: If you're going to do that, do it. 618 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's really hard to I don't think you 619 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 3: appeal test results for one thing. And the defensive line 620 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 3: Simons Bosa's. 621 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: You're right, it's it could be. 622 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 3: I think it says something maybe mostly about Bosa being 623 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 3: a one year deal. It says something that they signed 624 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 3: Hoyt to a three year deal. They really like that player. Yeah, 625 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 3: and that's one of the things that came out after 626 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 3: even after the suspension. They were like, listen, we really 627 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 3: like the player, We're gonna sign him anyway. That and 628 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 3: what Brandon intimated to the media. At least it came 629 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 3: across the way that they knew Hoyt might yes get 630 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 3: the suspension, and they signed him anyway. 631 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: Ogunjobi not so much. That was a surprise. So yeah, 632 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: I can. 633 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 3: I can get behind Hoyt because he's got a chance 634 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 3: for long term contributions. 635 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 636 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 6: Uh. 637 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: On the upper. 638 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 3: End, I think Bosa is a more dynamic player, particularly 639 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 3: for the last you know, eleven games of the season 640 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 3: he's gonna play. 641 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 2: Hoyt has potential because he has intriguing potential because he's. 642 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: A movable chess piece. 643 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a player that can play off the 644 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: ball at a linebacker position. He can be used as 645 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: a blitzer. You can have him put his hand on 646 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 2: the ground. You can put him in a Turgo Turbo package, 647 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 2: even inside if you wanted to rotate him in in 648 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: place of Ed Because he's two sixty seventies, he might 649 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: be light, but not in a pass rushing situation. So, 650 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 2: I mean the Rams use them all over the field 651 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 2: in the front seven, and I think the Bills want 652 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: to use him similarly, and that affords you some tantalizing 653 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 2: potential in terms of how to utilize him in a 654 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 2: way that best benefits the Bills, maybe not only on 655 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: first down or second down, but third down as well. 656 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: So it gives you some flexibility. Yeah, that's what's intriguing, 657 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: and that of. 658 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 3: Course makes you less predictable and easier to eat and 659 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 3: the more difficult to attack. 660 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and in a weird way, while you would like 661 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 2: to have both of these players for all seventeen games, 662 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 2: getting them in mid October is almost like pulling a 663 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 2: trade for two starting caliber players. I realize I'm making 664 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 2: a bit of a silver lining there, but it's kind 665 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: of an interesting dynamic. Yes, you want to have him 666 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 2: for seventeen, but having them like essentially get back on 667 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 2: your roster mid October, when who knows who you have 668 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 2: that's injured, could be a nice shot in the arm. 669 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 2: So we're just gonna have to see, most importantly what 670 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: those first six games look like and against whom you 671 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 2: are playing, and then second how healthy you are when 672 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: you do get those two players back from suspension. 673 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 3: So yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that plays 674 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 3: out for them and when you're talking about our topic 675 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 3: for the day, which is, you know, which is the 676 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 3: most potential for the Bills. Hoyt might be a good 677 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 3: answer because of the three year deal rather than the 678 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 3: one year deal. 679 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's more time on the job. Presumably. Let's 680 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: go to Gary on a sale next. What's up Gary? 681 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 8: Hey, guys, how y'all do good? 682 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: Good? 683 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 8: Well, you know, I don't think it's done yet. As 684 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 8: far as position, I think they're gonna go heavy obviously 685 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 8: in his draft on defense. So I'm hoping that there's 686 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 8: a really good defensive lineman if they have to move 687 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 8: up maybe whatever, Yeah, you know, twenty four whatever, I 688 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 8: don't that's Branda be will handle that that. Maybe get 689 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 8: somebody there. I'd like to get two deep at the 690 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 8: linemen in a corner, a really good corners draft, then 691 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 8: I I would be happy with the holosities as far 692 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 8: as what I thought you'd be addressed. 693 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 3: So safety corner is more important for you than safety. 694 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 9: There's a really good caliber safety there, like you've been 695 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 9: talking about Deebo. I'm fine with that, I really am. 696 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 9: I mean, if there's the he's rated better at their 697 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 9: pick and they want him, not five with it I 698 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 9: just really want a defensive lineman, like a big guy 699 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 9: in the middle, a young get one, and we need 700 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 9: a corner. We also need a corner. 701 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: Yeah right, So if they. 702 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 9: Can address those three needs, I'd be happy. 703 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 2: Yeah right, Gerry, Yeah, Steve. I mean you can't argue it. 704 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 2: I mean, corner right now is thinner on this roster 705 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 2: than safety. And you we know it's a money position too. 706 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: I keep saying. 707 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 3: I keep saying safety mostly because I guess when you 708 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 3: look at you know, the at the defense, the positions 709 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 3: that of the high end, at the position. 710 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: That may be available. So you're thinking value. You got 711 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: a shot at it. You're thinking of value at thirty 712 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: when you. 713 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 3: See you got a chance at You got a chance 714 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 3: at Nickolman Worry, you got a chance at Malachi Skarks, 715 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 3: you got a plant chance at Xavier Watts. You got 716 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 3: a chance at those guys. Uh, Andrew mccooba from out 717 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 3: of out of Texas. 718 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some guys. 719 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 2: I think you're gonna have a top five corner there 720 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:20,479 Speaker 2: at thirty. 721 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 3: Maybe yeah you maybe yeah, five corners in the first round. 722 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: Probably it's not gonna happen. So you may get one 723 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: of those. 724 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, if I don't have a problem with any 725 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 3: of that, that's fine. I'll take corner or safety. You 726 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 3: get a big sure, I mean I agree, Do you 727 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 3: take him? 728 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: You do? 729 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 3: You get a guy that you think can be a 730 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 3: difference maker on a defensive line before you get a 731 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 3: difference maker on the outside. You know, I think you 732 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 3: kind of need both. Yes, you need a corner at 733 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 3: this current moment. You need a corner worse than you 734 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 3: need a d line because he got Bosa and Hoyt 735 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 3: and Ogan Joby and yeah and dayk one. So you 736 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 3: got some guys and Carter and Carter, so I get it. 737 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: Corner is you know, it's you don't have anybody. Well, 738 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: you got Benford. I don't mean anybody. 739 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 3: Jackson, but you don't have enough guys to feel a team. 740 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 2: You don't have as many bodies. Yeah, so just from 741 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 2: a sheer numbers thing. 742 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: And I like Dane Jackson as much as anybody, but 743 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: you know. 744 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 2: I mean, all things considered, I think he is seen 745 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 2: probably as a depth piece. 746 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: That's well, yeah, why he's back. 747 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm I'm with Gary, I hear it. Just 748 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 3: just get the value. If there's a big dude there 749 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 3: that's going to be good, and you think he's going 750 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 3: to hit a home run, grab him. If not, get 751 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 3: the dB or whatever. It's a deep draft, you might 752 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 3: you might have an idea that you can get all 753 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 3: the way to fifty six or sixty two and still 754 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 3: get your guy. 755 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, let's go to Butch.

And 760 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 10: get right to the point. I have a couple of 761 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 10: things to say. I'm just going to say them briefly. 762 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 10: As you and I, Chris, we spoke last year roughly 763 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 10: around January February regarding the transition of this football team 764 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 10: from going old to new. When we had that conversation, 765 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 10: I was speaking about the young players being ready to 766 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 10: play immediately. That was last year. We as we've seen 767 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 10: from last year, that coach McDermott made the transition on 768 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 10: his coaching staff of getting young teachers and eventually we 769 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 10: drafted young players last year who actually kind of played 770 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 10: right away. Also, we drafted players last year who came 771 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 10: on during the middle of the season like a Devon Solomon, etc. 772 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 10: To actually play. Now, you guys were at the come 773 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 10: this year, and you guys have stated and Steve really 774 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 10: stated lots of times of guys in his shorts running 775 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 10: four two forties, I mean from all positions, defensive line, quarterbacks, 776 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 10: et cetera. I say, and I'm still I'm still gonna 777 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 10: stand on it that these young players are ready to 778 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 10: play now I see uh, And I wouldn't be surprised 779 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 10: in this draft one that the Bills moved back out 780 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 10: of thirty maybe get another two five and a six. 781 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 10: And at the exact same time, don't be surprised if 782 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 10: you see players like Aka and James Cook, Aka of 783 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 10: Christian Benford being traded. And the reason why I state 784 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 10: bout Christian Benford is this is that Christian Benford, as 785 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 10: you guys know, has a history of concussions. At the 786 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 10: same time, he's one concussion away from being in the 787 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 10: protocol where Buffalo has to back up off of them 788 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 10: a little bit. And I don't see Brandon Bean or 789 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 10: the Buffalo Billis organization going back down that lane of 790 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 10: paying money with the potential of another concussion, so we can. 791 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 6: Move off from them. 792 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 10: You have people going to say, well, if we do that, 793 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 10: who we're gonna have? You got an ingram you got Now, 794 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,879 Speaker 10: you guys are just speaking about a Jacks and yeah 795 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 10: they're not top tier. But at the same time, Cornick, 796 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 10: as you guys knowing this draft, after the top ten 797 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 10: picks in this draft, everything is open grabs down the 798 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 10: line all the way to the middle rounds. So I 799 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 10: look at we got Christan benfer Wet from Villanova. What 800 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 10: in the fifth round league, It's gonna be players nowadays 801 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 10: as ready to play that we can trust. We built 802 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 10: our d line. If you guys already stated about bringing 803 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 10: guys in in the free agency along with what we 804 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 10: already have on that uppunt prob was gonna get pressure 805 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 10: and maybe how help out on the back end. So 806 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 10: I look forward to that powers James Cook, I definitely 807 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 10: can see this movement either going up or going back. 808 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 10: But I believe they're gonna get picks maybe for next 809 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 10: year with these kids. And I saw all I want 810 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 10: to stay. But thanks so much for taking my call 811 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 10: and I love each and everyone. 812 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, thanks, Yeah, that's I'll say this. The 813 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 3: concussion thing is, I get it. It scares a lot 814 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 3: of us because we've seen guys retire because of it. 815 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 2: We don't have access to the medical records right the 816 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 2: way the team does. 817 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: We don't think about this. 818 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 3: Mitch Morris had concussion problems here with Buffalo, and once 819 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 3: he got over it, they were gone. 820 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: He didn't have a recurrence. That is the. 821 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 3: That's the thing about him, and we say it all 822 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 3: the time. Once you get a concussion, if you're allowed 823 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 3: to come back one hundred percent completely from that concussion, 824 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 3: you're no more susceptible to getting another one than anybody else. 825 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 3: You're fully healed. We can all look kind of sideways 826 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 3: at Christian Benford and somehow he got through the concussion 827 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 3: protocol and got nicked two weeks in a row, and 828 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 3: early in the Chiefs game off of a rather benign hit. 829 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 2: It was a pretty good hit. Hamlin hit him with 830 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 2: friendly fire with the crown of his helm. 831 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 3: Right, Okay, that kind of thing happens, and it becomes 832 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 3: part of the part of the culture. You got to 833 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 3: protect the players from themselves because they don't care. They're 834 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 3: gonna come back and they're gonna play whether they've had 835 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 3: a concussion in the last six hours or not. They 836 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,760 Speaker 3: want to play, so you got to protection from themselves. 837 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,399 Speaker 3: And I see your point about Christian Benford having this 838 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 3: thing about being damaged goods. I can't see him that way, 839 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 3: but I see how you do. And if you and listen, 840 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 3: if you don't want to pay top dollar to a 841 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 3: corner if you want to keep getting young guys in 842 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 3: and drafting them, and you can get away with it. 843 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,720 Speaker 3: If you can give me a guy like Christian Benford, fine, 844 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 3: I'll do it. 845 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but what's the guarantee you're guarantee that. 846 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no guarantee. They got him in the sixth, 847 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 3: sixth round, sixth round, dude. 848 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: That's a The other The other problem here is. 849 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 2: Your cornerback position is already thin, even with Benford on 850 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 2: the roster. Do you want to subtract what is arguably 851 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,399 Speaker 2: your best and most talented corner at a position that's 852 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 2: already thin. I just I can't get around to seeing 853 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,919 Speaker 2: my way to that because logically it doesn't add up 854 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 2: as something that the Bills typically do, especially at a 855 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 2: prime position like cornerback. So look, I wouldn't rule out 856 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 2: the cook thing because running backs can be found a 857 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 2: lot more easily than other positions, So I don't think 858 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 2: that's outlandish to suggest it. But the corner stuff, i'd 859 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 2: be surprised because it's a thin position already. He's the 860 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,800 Speaker 2: best one you have, and let's not forget his team 861 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 2: was twenty ninth in third down defense last year. You 862 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 2: want to take away your best cover corner from that equation, 863 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 2: I don't think you want to do that. 864 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 3: And Rasseul Douglas isn't signed, and Rasseul Douglas was probably 865 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 3: number two and it wasn't close. And see, Christian Benford 866 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 3: was by far the best guy because of his age, 867 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 3: his youth and all that going on the other stuff 868 00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 3: that you were talking about James Cook being traded to 869 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 3: for you know, for draft picks and stuff. Okay, but 870 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 3: once again, you better there better be a there better 871 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 3: be somebody for Brandon. He's not doing it just for 872 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 3: some arbitrary pick. For me, if I'm a GM, I'm 873 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 3: not letting James Cook out the door along with whatever 874 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 3: draft capital I can to move up to get a 875 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 3: guy unless I know that guy is unbelievable, because James 876 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 3: Cook is unbelievable. So you're not gonna trade known asset 877 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,879 Speaker 3: for somebody, just some blank draft pick. It's got, it's 878 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 3: gonna happen. If that happens is on draft day and 879 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 3: your guy is right there and that's the guy you covet, then. 880 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: It may happen. 881 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 3: But just to say, like like now before the draft 882 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 3: even comes and say, yeah, I'll give you James Cook 883 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 3: for a three or a two or whatever. 884 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: No, you're not gonna do that James Cook. 885 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 3: He pulls your offense along at times, even with Josh 886 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 3: on the field. So unless there's unless there's a can't 887 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 3: miss guy, unbelievable guy there, you're not making that deal. 888 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: I don't think. 889 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here.

I'd like to see us still 913 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 11: in free agency, even if we go get Terrey White 914 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 11: and Uh and Assami Samuel Junior. Defensive line is very 915 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 11: important and safety savior Watts. My question to Steve is 916 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 11: real quick. It's about a contract. If you bring somebody 917 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 11: back that you know has given you issues in the past, 918 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 11: can you put a clout in the contract that stipulates 919 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 11: if you act like you did I'm talking about stuff 920 00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 11: on Diggs. If you act the way you did and 921 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 11: you've showed disrespect like you did, we can null employed 922 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 11: your guarantee money. I'll listen to your response. 923 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 1: Okay, thanks mine. Yeah, Mike, you can do that. 924 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 2: I don't know how many players are signing that one. Well, 925 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 2: if I have a bad day at the office, you 926 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:25,440 Speaker 2: can cancel my contract. 927 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 3: You can negotiate anything into a contract, but in this 928 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 3: case what you're talking about, you have to be extremely specific. 929 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 3: You have to lay out a bunch of stuff, and 930 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 3: you have to you know, there'll be lawyers and they'll 931 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 3: they'll map out the language that it would take, that 932 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,359 Speaker 3: what they believe that would hold up in a court 933 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 3: if the guy contested it and you released him and 934 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 3: took the money back. 935 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: Yes, you can. 936 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 3: You can negotiate all that into it, no question about it. 937 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 3: How cumbersome that would be, and how much effort that 938 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 3: would take, and whether the guy would sign it or all, 939 00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:59,959 Speaker 3: you know, variables that you can't control. 940 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,319 Speaker 1: But yes, you can do anything you want. You can. 941 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 3: You could guarantee the guy one hundred million dollars unless 942 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,800 Speaker 3: unless he did something that you knew he couldn not do, 943 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 3: like you know, take your pick. Yeah, yeah, all that 944 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,799 Speaker 3: stuff's negotiable for sure. More often than not, you'd never 945 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 3: get the guy to sign it, and you'd have to 946 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,359 Speaker 3: the language would be a phone book thick. 947 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:27,399 Speaker 2: We see morality clauses a lot in contracts, but you're 948 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 2: talking about, you know, a guy just being a donkey 949 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 2: to his teammates or his coaching staff. 950 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 3: Is that the first time you've taken my donkey? 951 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 2: I did take your donkey term there, because I well, 952 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 2: I can't use some of the other words. So yeah, I, 953 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 2: as Steve said, you could probably put it in there, 954 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 2: but I think it'd be hard pressed to get an 955 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 2: agent and a player to sign off on it, unless 956 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, you got some squeaky clean player that 957 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,760 Speaker 2: isn't worried about it. But in that case, you probably 958 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 2: don't have that clause in there in the first place 959 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 2: for someone. 960 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 1: Of that character. 961 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's easier said than done. I 962 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 2: understand why you would want it in there, for sure, 963 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 2: you know, as a as a fan that's clearly still 964 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 2: rankled by some of the high maintenance stuff that this team. 965 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: Dealt with with digs. But yeah, I think it'd be 966 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 1: it's easier said than do. 967 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and don't take all this stuff I said about 968 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 3: the mock draft. Seriously, I was calling them dumb, but 969 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 3: that's that's just me. Yeah, contentious yeah, you got these 970 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 3: guys got to do it. I mean, the mock draft 971 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 3: is a thing, it's a well, it's a cottage industry. 972 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 2: Uh. 973 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 3: And so obviously I'm not going to agree with most 974 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 3: or any of the mock drafts. Most of the time 975 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 3: I don't agree with them is when they have as 976 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 3: taken a guy that should have be a you know, 977 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 3: top fifteen pick, and we're picking thirtieth. The guy ain't 978 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 3: gonna get there. 979 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 6: Uh. 980 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: But and then to. 981 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 3: Boot then they start putting in these hypothetical trade situations. 982 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I have. 983 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 3: It's like it's like the NCAA brackets. There's twenty four 984 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,720 Speaker 3: million people that do a mock draft. Zero perfect mock drafts. 985 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 2: I mean, you're you bet that'd be just as accurate 986 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,040 Speaker 2: that right there, rolling a bingo basket and then pulling 987 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 2: out a letter in a number. 988 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 3: That should be the next thing that Warren Buffett does. 989 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 3: You know, you've got a million dollars if you do 990 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 3: the perfect bracket, you million dollars. If you can do 991 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 3: the first round of the NFL draft. 992 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,440 Speaker 1: Perfect with trades, nobody's everybody, You're never going to touch it. 993 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 2: Uh. We are up against the clock here as we 994 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 2: are at the top of the hour, but more of 995 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 2: your phone calls as we are wide open for hour 996 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,879 Speaker 2: number two. What off season move do you believe holds 997 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 2: the most potential for the Bills in twenty twenty five? 998 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 2: We know there are more to come draft, maybe a 999 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 2: little more free agency. But what to this point do 1000 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 2: you think holds the most potential for the Bill's benefit 1001 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 2: this coming season?

Pete? 1015 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:04,279 Speaker 11: Oh? 1016 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 12: Hey, can you hear me? 1017 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1018 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,799 Speaker 10: Go ahead, all right. 1019 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 12: I just wanted to make the point about where the 1020 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 12: emphasis should be in the draft. I know people are 1021 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 12: talking about a receiver. I think if we look at 1022 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 12: this past season and we had a couple of guys 1023 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 12: on defense, either for depth or a frontline player, say 1024 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,880 Speaker 12: on the defensive line or defensive backer safety, if we 1025 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,839 Speaker 12: had those two extra guys, we go sixteen and one, 1026 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,880 Speaker 12: and the only thing they need to do then is 1027 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 12: sign James Cook for the offense, go whole hog on 1028 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 12: the draft with defense, and I think you're going to 1029 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,879 Speaker 12: be the leading the leading team in the season next year. 1030 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean I can get on board with that. Pete, 1031 00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 2: I don't disagree. I mean, look at the statistics. I mean, 1032 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 2: if you, I think we all saw how they played defensively, 1033 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 2: they used takeaways to get themselves out of some bad 1034 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 2: spots last year. 1035 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean, this team, as we. 1036 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 2: Said earlier, twenty ninth in third down defense, followed by 1037 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 2: eighteenth in sacks, and even in the red zone, they 1038 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 2: weren't as good as they've been in years past. I'm 1039 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 2: not going to remember off the top of my head 1040 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,319 Speaker 2: where they ranked in red zone defense, but that wasn't 1041 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 2: superb either. So that all points to fortifying or refortifying 1042 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 2: the front and the back end of your defense. I 1043 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 2: think the middle of your defense is at least stable, 1044 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 2: you know, with Terrell Bernard, Matt Milano, Tarren Johnson, Dorian Williams, you. 1045 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: At least have stability there. 1046 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 2: Want to add depth, fine, but the front and the 1047 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 2: back end they need some reinforcements. And you've addressed that 1048 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 2: to some degree, you know, with what you've signed up 1049 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 2: front in terms of you know, pass rush, defensive interior, 1050 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 2: a movable chess piece like Hoyt. And you've tried to 1051 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 2: begin to address your back end with some depth pieces 1052 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 2: at the very least Derek Forrest, Dan Jackson. But you 1053 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 2: need some front line help on the back end and 1054 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 2: the front end. 1055 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 3: They were twenty fourth in passing yards allowed, seventeenth in 1056 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 3: total yards allowed, twenty first in yards per play, They 1057 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 3: were twenty twenty ninth in third down percentage given up 1058 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 3: ranked out of thirty two teams, they were twenty ninth. 1059 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 3: They were ranked thirteenth out of thirty two and fourth 1060 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 3: down percentage. They were sixteenth in red zone percentage defense. 1061 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, this is all defense. Fourteenth in goal to 1062 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 3: go situations, so, and in points per game they ranked 1063 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 3: Let's see, they ranked while they were middle of the pack, 1064 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 3: bottom third. 1065 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 6: Uh so. 1066 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, they two guys away. I don't know. 1067 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, you can take yeah if if they're the 1068 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 3: right two guys. You're always two guys away, right, So 1069 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 3: say what you want. You're right, Defense needed help last year. 1070 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 3: Here's the problem we all have right now. 1071 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 1: I get it. 1072 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,360 Speaker 3: We're looking at the roster. We have some known commodities 1073 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 3: on offense. We have some guys that are coming. We 1074 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,720 Speaker 3: can expect even better things from Curtis, Samuel maybe healthy, 1075 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 3: We'll have a more productive year, Kate Hellman, Ken Kaid healthy, 1076 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 3: all of these guys. The problem is this, you come 1077 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,760 Speaker 3: back with this exact same roster this next year. On offense, 1078 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 3: there are no guaranteed it's gonna go well at all. 1079 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: You don't know. 1080 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:52,560 Speaker 3: You think it probably will. That's your best chance. Probably, man, 1081 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 3: you never know. 1082 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 2: I think you can rest pretty easy that you're gonna 1083 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,960 Speaker 2: be good because you have the ultimate force multiples all. 1084 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 3: I get it, that's right. But the problem is, you know, 1085 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 3: teams run it back quite often in this league, attempt to, 1086 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,719 Speaker 3: and it doesn't go exactly the same as it did 1087 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 3: the year before. Teams got a year under their belt, 1088 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:15,839 Speaker 3: they they kind of got a feel for what your 1089 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 3: offense is. If you come back and do the everybody 1090 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,040 Speaker 3: eats mantra again, they're gonna attack it differently and play 1091 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,680 Speaker 3: it differently than they have in the past. You're gonna 1092 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 3: you're gonna have different challenges than you did this year. 1093 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 3: Off Defensively, your roster's depleted because of the contract situations. 1094 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,840 Speaker 3: Everybody's out of a contract. You gotta sign guys just 1095 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,000 Speaker 3: to have enough guys to fill a team. 1096 00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:37,919 Speaker 1: To fill out a team. 1097 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 3: Plus, if you're gonna do the philosophy of rotating for 1098 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 3: defensive linemen in, you're to me, you're always gonna have 1099 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 3: a pass rush like you've had. It's hard enough to 1100 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,839 Speaker 3: get two great pass rushers, you ain't gonna get eight. 1101 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,040 Speaker 3: And just because you got fresh guys in there doesn't 1102 00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 3: mean they're gonna be any more effective because they're just guys. 1103 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 3: Times the Bills have been a victim to that. Once 1104 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,840 Speaker 3: in a while, you do get some more consistent effort, 1105 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 3: no question, when you rotate those guys in, they're fresher 1106 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 3: than the offensive lines, particularly in the second half. But 1107 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 3: this philosophy that this team runs has a lot of pluses. 1108 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:26,720 Speaker 3: But you're right defensively, they need some game wreckers that 1109 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,440 Speaker 3: they just do not have right now, and after free agency. 1110 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 3: The cap situation one is, unless Bosa comes in and 1111 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,320 Speaker 3: is everything we hope he'd be and stays healthy, you 1112 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 3: haven't got anybody unless it's him. Unless it's him, he 1113 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 3: better be because you're playing with one corner, not two 1114 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 3: right now. There's a lot in There's a lot in 1115 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 3: this because there's so many unknown and then this is 1116 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 3: the time of year we're in. There's so many unknowns. 1117 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 3: You feel like you can count on the offense. But man, 1118 00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 3: oh man, you get one or two guys that waiver 1119 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 3: or go down at the wrong time, and then your 1120 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,959 Speaker 3: offense looks sick. You know, it looks like it's not well, 1121 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,480 Speaker 3: it's not scoring, can't move the ball, can't get a 1122 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,360 Speaker 3: first down. Now you're in a stretch where you're losing 1123 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 3: games because of the ripple effects of that. Oh man. 1124 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 1: So it's just so many unknowns when you get here. 1125 00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 2: Variables you're trying to I mean, look at Houston from 1126 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 2: last year to the twenty from twenty three to twenty four, 1127 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,680 Speaker 2: I mean, they look like the next hot commodity in 1128 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,960 Speaker 2: the league, and they win their division. In twenty three, 1129 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 2: they go to the second round of the playoffs. 1130 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 1: CJ. 1131 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 2: Stroud looks like the second Coming. And then they get 1132 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,040 Speaker 2: to the second year with Stroud in twenty twenty four. 1133 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 2: Their offensive line is a mess, their offense struggles, they 1134 00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 2: end up firing their offensive coordinator, and they they got 1135 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,400 Speaker 2: a dose of reality playing a first play schedule. 1136 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you want to win your division? 1137 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 2: Okay, now you get to play the Ravens, the Chiefs 1138 00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 2: and the Bills. 1139 00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: How's that gonna go? 1140 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 3: If you want to sobering a sobering thought, all say 1141 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,280 Speaker 3: this and Tom back there are control will put up 1142 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 3: on the screen the Bills schedule next year, folks, It 1143 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,520 Speaker 3: is a nightmare, particularly the home schedule.

I mean they you know, they've 1155 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 3: been in that fire for five years. So they're gonna 1156 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 3: get out of it and they'll be all right. And 1157 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,400 Speaker 3: I mean right now you look at it. See geez, 1158 00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 3: I hope we can win more games than we lose 1159 00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 3: at home. 1160 00:59:59,360 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 1: It's tough. 1161 00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:03,000 Speaker 3: Set on the road, it's a lot different story now 1162 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 3: without with the exception of the division Patriots, Chefs, Dolphins, 1163 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 3: and then Steelers. Then you've got Browns, Panthers, Falcons. 1164 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,920 Speaker 1: Texans are better than people think. 1165 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 2: They did a lot of work in free agency this 1166 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,280 Speaker 2: year too, So I'm gonna be I am unconvinced. 1167 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 1: Okay, let me say this too. 1168 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 3: The Panthers, they have not gotten a load of argument 1169 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 3: our dudes in a minute, Well that's true. When this 1170 01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 3: team rolls in off the bus down there, they're gonna 1171 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,640 Speaker 3: that's gonna be a slap in their face. Uh so, 1172 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 3: particularly if it happens in weeks two, three, or four. Right, 1173 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, that the the away schedule. Okay, I'll take that. 1174 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1175 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 3: Steelers are good, yeah, okay, and the Patriots. It's gonna 1176 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 3: be rough. 1177 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 2: Patriots could be tricky. Yeah, they're gonna be a hard out, 1178 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:48,919 Speaker 2: harder out than they've been in years. 1179 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,360 Speaker 1: So but that home schedule next year. 1180 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:55,400 Speaker 2: Holy yeah, it's it's a doozy. Let's get back to 1181 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 2: the phones. We go to Judy in Buffalo. What's up, Judy. 1182 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:05,000 Speaker 13: I'm really tired of all this talk about anybody worrying 1183 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,440 Speaker 13: about who's going to get Rogers or Williams. You know, 1184 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 13: I don't want to say that there. He has been quarterback, 1185 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 13: but they are not really a league quarterback, so everybody 1186 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 13: talks about these I'm tired of the talk. 1187 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:19,640 Speaker 3: Let it go. 1188 01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 13: Let's get back to the Bills. I hate to sound 1189 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 13: like a broken record, but the Bills can control the 1190 01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 13: ball forty minutes out of sixty in a game. But 1191 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 13: the one thing they are lacking is a deep receiver. 1192 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,280 Speaker 13: I don't care who he is, where he is. Number 1193 01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,280 Speaker 13: one draft choice gets somebody who can run down the 1194 01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 13: field and take somebody with him and take some of 1195 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 13: the pressure off. And this is basically what we need. 1196 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 13: Use the other draft choices shore up your defense. But 1197 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,840 Speaker 13: this is a team that controls or can control the 1198 01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 13: ball sixty out of forty minutes. 1199 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:00,440 Speaker 14: That's it? 1200 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:01,040 Speaker 6: All right? 1201 01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 2: Well, Judy, before you go, you there the question, the 1202 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 2: question I think Steve wants to poses, why. 1203 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 3: Why do you need this wide receiver? Because they scored 1204 01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 3: more points last year than anybody in the league. Left, 1205 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 3: she left, She don't want to and I get it. 1206 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 3: She's not the only one, Judy, She's right. She's she's 1207 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,280 Speaker 3: called and hammered us with this fast wide receiver. 1208 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,320 Speaker 1: She is on the receiver train. That she is on 1209 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 1: the receiver train has been cheveral years. Yeah, that's cool. 1210 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 3: I want to know, what do you think is gonna 1211 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,400 Speaker 3: be the big What are you gonna notice about this offense? 1212 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 3: They're gonna score more points than they did setting in 1213 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 3: franchise record last year without one. Are they gonna control 1214 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,040 Speaker 3: the ball forty one minutes instead of forty minutes out 1215 01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:43,720 Speaker 3: of every sixty? 1216 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 1: I mean she believes right, wrong or indifferent that she 1217 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 1: said it. 1218 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 2: I'm not putting words in her mouth. She said it'll 1219 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:55,960 Speaker 2: take some of the pressure off. 1220 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Are you taking the pressure off the defense? 1221 01:02:59,080 --> 01:02:59,240 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1222 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean you just scored more points than any other 1223 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,840 Speaker 1: team in football. I don't know how much more you 1224 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 1: could take the pressure. 1225 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:09,440 Speaker 3: The Bills proved their recipe last year was money and 1226 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:10,440 Speaker 3: they didn't have that guy. 1227 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't have it. 1228 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,960 Speaker 3: They didn't have that guy. And they, man, old man, 1229 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 3: they were they were putting it on people. They were 1230 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 3: lumping people up. 1231 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 1: They scored over thirty points in twelve games. 1232 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 3: They were, they were crushing it last year. 1233 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean they yeah, they've scored. They had a stretch 1234 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:28,760 Speaker 1: where they. 1235 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 3: Scored thirty four, thirty one, thirty thirty, thirty, thirty five, 1236 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 3: forty two, forty eight. 1237 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I get it. Good players make 1238 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:39,680 Speaker 1: you better. 1239 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,880 Speaker 3: But man, old man, I don't know what you're asking for, 1240 01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 3: like like thirty one, thirty one, thirty one, you know, 1241 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 3: I mean, because. 1242 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 1: They were doing everything they. 1243 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,440 Speaker 3: Wanted to do offensively last year. They they had the 1244 01:03:55,600 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 3: MVP at QB with without that guy. I don't know 1245 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 3: how you can look at the team and the way 1246 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,440 Speaker 3: they performed and where the production was last year and 1247 01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,560 Speaker 3: think that the number one thing they need is more offense. 1248 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,800 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's I mean, that's with it tone 1249 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,960 Speaker 1: and yes, that is with a defense that got the. 1250 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 2: Ball back for them thirty two times via turnovers, so 1251 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,160 Speaker 2: they gave them thirty two extra possessions. 1252 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 1: But they also didn't get off the field all that well. 1253 01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 2: The best way the Bills defense got off the field 1254 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,280 Speaker 2: yes last year was by taking the ball away because 1255 01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 2: it certainly wasn't by getting off the field on third 1256 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 2: down because that didn't happen very often. So I think 1257 01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 2: I can't get past helping the defense first. I'm I'm 1258 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,920 Speaker 2: going to stick to my guns on that. I understand 1259 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 2: people want a fancy new toy on offense, some difference 1260 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 2: maker at receiver. 1261 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 1: Keon Coleman may grow into that and be that for you. 1262 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,520 Speaker 2: I don't that's not a guarantee if Kinkaid might be 1263 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 2: better in year three, which is where we have seen 1264 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,200 Speaker 2: a lot of skill position players on offense reach critical 1265 01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 2: mass under this regime. 1266 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 1: So well, yeah, I'm with you. 1267 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 3: I like I said, it's hard to throw darts at 1268 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 3: what they did offensively last year. It really is hard 1269 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,320 Speaker 3: to throw any darts at what they did. If they 1270 01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 3: ran it back and scored the exact same number of 1271 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 3: points every week that they did, you would expect them. Yeah, 1272 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:25,160 Speaker 3: they win, maybe probably more like fourteen because if you 1273 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 3: think of the one they scored forty two points. 1274 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,440 Speaker 1: In a loss in LA. 1275 01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 3: That's I just I can't I get it, But yeah, no, 1276 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,440 Speaker 3: give me some defenders who can make a play. Give 1277 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 3: me a game wrecker over there, if you can get one. 1278 01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 3: You're asking for a game record and you're giving me 1279 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 3: one on offense or defense. Give me a defender. 1280 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,320 Speaker 2: We heard Sean McDermott say it himself at his end 1281 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,280 Speaker 2: of season press conference. He was speaking in general terms, 1282 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,760 Speaker 2: but he said, you need two to three different two 1283 01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 2: to three difference makers on either side of the ball, 1284 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 2: like elite difference maker type players. The Bills have Josh 1285 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,880 Speaker 2: Allen and I think you can argue James Cook on offense. 1286 01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,160 Speaker 2: I don't know that you have someone of that caliber 1287 01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,080 Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball right now, like 1288 01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,160 Speaker 2: elite playmaking talent. 1289 01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,600 Speaker 1: Bosa could be that if healthy. But that's about it 1290 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. Yeah. 1291 01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones, though, when we go 1292 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 2: to Bill and kenmore, who's been waiting patiently? 1293 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 1: What's up Bill? 1294 01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,960 Speaker 5: So I want to pass out a bunch of flowers 1295 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,640 Speaker 5: and ask a question. I'm going to pass out flowers 1296 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:39,720 Speaker 5: to Dorian Williams for being far more than a serviceable 1297 01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:44,880 Speaker 5: replacement for Milano. Pass out flowers to Milano for working 1298 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,280 Speaker 5: really hard to get back on the field. Pass out 1299 01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,000 Speaker 5: Flowers to the coaching staff for not putting him on 1300 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,000 Speaker 5: a pitch count so he was ready in the playoffs, 1301 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,640 Speaker 5: and then finally Flowers to the YouTube for explaining to 1302 01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 5: us what was going on going on with him playing 1303 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,880 Speaker 5: that much early on because Matt Milano just off I 1304 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 5: R was not a good replacement for Dorian Williams. So 1305 01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:13,680 Speaker 5: my question is what would be your impression of starting 1306 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:18,840 Speaker 5: Dorian Williams and Matt Milano's linebacker and make game Terrell Bernard, 1307 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 5: you're heavy nickel, All. 1308 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:24,040 Speaker 1: Right, interesting question and proposition there. 1309 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 3: Bill, It's a philosophical shift and. 1310 01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 1: You've got somebody else calling the defense. 1311 01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 3: Now, if you're going to do that, Terrell Bernard is 1312 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 3: more than just a guy playing a position. He's also 1313 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 3: the voice and the leader of the defense and the 1314 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,640 Speaker 3: defensive captain and the defensive captain and all of that. 1315 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 3: I would say I would start, and if we're going 1316 01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 3: to try and do that, I would put Milano and 1317 01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 3: Bernard on the field and bring Williams and Dorian Williams 1318 01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 3: in And if you want them. 1319 01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,200 Speaker 2: To take on the roles you're suggesting. The only thing 1320 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,160 Speaker 2: you're changing is Williams comes on the field and Tarren 1321 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:04,280 Speaker 2: Johnson goes off. 1322 01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:06,080 Speaker 1: That's a far less. 1323 01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,520 Speaker 2: That's a lesser degree of change to the entire scope 1324 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 2: of your defense than what you suggested. So I would 1325 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 2: say that would be a more likely shit if you 1326 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 2: want to do that. And look, big nickel is more 1327 01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 2: and more popular in the league because of the way 1328 01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 2: that teams have leaned back in favor of the run game, 1329 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,920 Speaker 2: because a lot of teams were playing nickel from first down, 1330 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:32,680 Speaker 2: second down, third down. They said, all right, well, we're 1331 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 2: gonna run at you, and we're gonna have a guard 1332 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,680 Speaker 2: on your nickel corner. Have fun blocking that up right 1333 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 2: and making tackles. 1334 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 1: So, yeah, if you. 1335 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:43,960 Speaker 2: Want to make Bernard your big nickel guy and the 1336 01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,960 Speaker 2: only change to the regular defense is Dorian Williams comes 1337 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,519 Speaker 2: on the field, I think that's a way. 1338 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:48,840 Speaker 1: To get there. 1339 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I could go along with that. I don't They're 1340 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:54,920 Speaker 3: not gonna take Christian Bernard or to Rell Bernard off 1341 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:59,320 Speaker 3: the field. They're leaving him on, and they may not 1342 01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,360 Speaker 3: want to take Taran off the field either. But we 1343 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,800 Speaker 3: had this conversation last week where there we said that 1344 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 3: over the court, over all the entire NFL. There was 1345 01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 3: almost four thousand more yards rushing this last regular season. 1346 01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,920 Speaker 3: There was a resurgence as a resurgence and they had 1347 01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 3: because of the running plays and getting tackled in bounds. 1348 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:19,960 Speaker 3: There was like, I don't know, one hundred and seventy 1349 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 3: less offensive snaps over the course of the regular season, 1350 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 3: which is a little bit negligible, but you know it's 1351 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,760 Speaker 3: starting to you see the ripple effects of it, and 1352 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,320 Speaker 3: you know it all starts in the nuts and bolts 1353 01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,760 Speaker 3: with who's defending and how offenses want to. 1354 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 1: Maximize those matchups. 1355 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 3: So yeah, the big nickel, that wouldn't be a big nickel. 1356 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,680 Speaker 3: That would be three linebackers on the field. That'd be 1357 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 3: a regular four to three. 1358 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 1: So there's that. 1359 01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with it if it works, 1360 01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 3: But I would say that's probably more likely is that 1361 01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 3: Dorian would come in in place of Taron Johnson rather 1362 01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,320 Speaker 3: than Bernard coming in in place of Terren Johnson. 1363 01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:04,080 Speaker 2: And I think in training camp this summer, Dorian is 1364 01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 2: going to push Millana for the starting job at all linebacker. 1365 01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:09,680 Speaker 2: I wouldn't dismiss that. I think there's going to be 1366 01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:13,640 Speaker 2: a pretty fierce competition there this summer. Let's go to 1367 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,360 Speaker 2: Cleveland in Niagara Falls. What do you have for is Cleveland? 1368 01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:18,760 Speaker 6: How you doing? 1369 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:19,519 Speaker 11: First? 1370 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:24,280 Speaker 6: I just wanted to come to Judy's question about the 1371 01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:25,599 Speaker 6: wide receiver one. 1372 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 5: Here. 1373 01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,080 Speaker 6: Here's my thing. You guys say that, here's the truth 1374 01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:30,920 Speaker 6: of the truth of the matter is that the offense. 1375 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,120 Speaker 6: You know, the team did score a lot of points. 1376 01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 6: But I think that we forget that a lot of 1377 01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,840 Speaker 6: the reasons why because our defense gave our offensive short 1378 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:44,519 Speaker 6: field and no one's better in short field than Josh 1379 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 6: Allen in the league. In my opinion, I think you know, 1380 01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 6: a wide receiver one is going to. 1381 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 2: Like. 1382 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:56,840 Speaker 6: For example, I remember during the one game where Ernie 1383 01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 6: Shavers I'm sorry, Shavers got the one touchdown thrown from Trebisky. 1384 01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 6: I think it was you guys that said the reason 1385 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,719 Speaker 6: why they were able to do that and Josh can't 1386 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,439 Speaker 6: necessarily do that with with their offensive scheme is because 1387 01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 6: there's a spy involved. Well, well, maybe a number one 1388 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,720 Speaker 6: receiver makes these defenses use a different scheme and a 1389 01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,720 Speaker 6: spy may not be involved in that scheme. I think 1390 01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 6: that the defense that the draft is deepen up with 1391 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:26,000 Speaker 6: defensive tackle and that McDermott calls a great defense to 1392 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:27,920 Speaker 6: where we can get a defensive tackle in the second 1393 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,600 Speaker 6: or third round. I wouldn't be totally against get the 1394 01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 6: number one receiver in the first round if we could, 1395 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 6: because I do believe that helps. Despite the points that 1396 01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 6: we scored, I feel like we worked really hard for 1397 01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 6: those points and the number one receiver is gonna make 1398 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:47,599 Speaker 6: us work a little less harder. I'll wait for your guys' opinion. 1399 01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,600 Speaker 6: And also I want to leave with this, Steve, I 1400 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 6: feel like you should have been in the Hall of 1401 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:53,680 Speaker 6: Fame years ago, and I'll leave it at that. 1402 01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:54,960 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. 1403 01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, Unlessen Cleveland, that's a good call. I'll listen to that. 1404 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 3: A wide receiver one will affect the defense differently than 1405 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,840 Speaker 3: everybody eats, you know what I mean? 1406 01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that. I'll listen to that. 1407 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 3: That's completely fair and it makes some sense if that 1408 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:17,439 Speaker 3: makes that defense do something that you can take advantage of. 1409 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:23,000 Speaker 3: One pushback to that would be and we talk about 1410 01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 3: this all the time. That's why you know Baltimore is 1411 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,400 Speaker 3: such a handful offensively. They had this juggernaut of a 1412 01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,280 Speaker 3: season in Baltimore because nobody was built to stop a 1413 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 3: two hundred and forty pound running back and a four 1414 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 3: to three quarterback, and in a run game like that, 1415 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 3: nobody's built to stay, and a three hundred pound full back, 1416 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 3: nobody's built to stop that. 1417 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:42,080 Speaker 1: So yeah. 1418 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:47,599 Speaker 3: On conversely, almost every defense is built to match up 1419 01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:51,559 Speaker 3: with a number one. Not too many of them at 1420 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,800 Speaker 3: this point are built to match up with everybody eats. 1421 01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:56,600 Speaker 1: They don't know. 1422 01:12:57,120 --> 01:13:00,080 Speaker 3: They got to pick a matchup differently than they do 1423 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,160 Speaker 3: with a big number one. Big number one, it's like 1424 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:06,519 Speaker 3: picking the macout in pass protection. That's the guy they let. 1425 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,120 Speaker 3: It allows them to set their defense. Now you force 1426 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 3: them into some mental hoops where they say, okay, in 1427 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,240 Speaker 3: this formation with these people, who's their guy? 1428 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,479 Speaker 1: We don't know. That's different. 1429 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,000 Speaker 3: Now to say one's better than the other, well, it 1430 01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 3: all depends on who's out there and how you execute. 1431 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,599 Speaker 3: But that's the difference. I'll listen to that, though. If 1432 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 3: you think a number one makes it that much tougher 1433 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,880 Speaker 3: on a defense to match up, I'll listen, because, let's 1434 01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 3: face it, we still have the same everybody eats guys 1435 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 3: aside from the number one, So they're going. 1436 01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 1: To be just as good in their way. 1437 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,559 Speaker 2: But I don't think you or I were ever debating 1438 01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:41,160 Speaker 2: the merits of adding a number one receiver making the 1439 01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 2: offense better. I think we all would universally agree it 1440 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 2: would make the offense better. I think what Steve and 1441 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,680 Speaker 2: I are arguing is I don't think it should be 1442 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 2: priority one because of how well the offense has performed. 1443 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,919 Speaker 2: I mean, look, and I just mentioned it before you did, Cleveland, 1444 01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:02,040 Speaker 2: that the Bills offense got thirty two extra possessions via 1445 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,840 Speaker 2: the takeaway by the defense, but they also had less 1446 01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,559 Speaker 2: time on the field because of all the times where 1447 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 2: the Bills defense couldn't get off the field. Proof of 1448 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,080 Speaker 2: that is in their time of possession the Bills were 1449 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,800 Speaker 2: They scored more points than anybody in football. If you 1450 01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 2: count the playoff games from last season, they were nineteenth 1451 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 2: in time of possession, and they were number two in 1452 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,560 Speaker 2: the league in red zone offense. That has nothing to 1453 01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:33,240 Speaker 2: do with Buffalo's defensive abilities and everything to do with 1454 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,920 Speaker 2: how efficient they were inside the opponent's twenty yard line. 1455 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,240 Speaker 2: This was a high scoring outfit that found it more 1456 01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 2: than capable of putting six on the board instead of 1457 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:46,280 Speaker 2: three more often than not. Number two in red zone 1458 01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 2: offense in terms of touchdown efficiency at a clip of 1459 01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:52,760 Speaker 2: almost seventy two percent. The only team that was better 1460 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 2: was Baltimore, who Steve mentioned was a boulder rolling down 1461 01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:56,960 Speaker 2: hill all season. 1462 01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:01,640 Speaker 1: So the priority has to be it has to be. Now. 1463 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,160 Speaker 2: I understand the board may fall a certain way when 1464 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 2: you're picking at thirty, where maybe there's one of the 1465 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,160 Speaker 2: top two receivers in the draft staring at you in 1466 01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,519 Speaker 2: the face in that situation, Matthew Golden sitting there at thirty. 1467 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,320 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm okay with that. 1468 01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:18,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, But short of that, you gotta get some big guys, 1469 01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 2: and you gotta get some corners and fast. 1470 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,240 Speaker 1: That's right, that's where we're at. 1471 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,000 Speaker 3: I can't put wide receiver at the top of the 1472 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,800 Speaker 3: priority list the way the team is currently constructed and 1473 01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 3: with the production you know you've got offensively on that 1474 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,639 Speaker 3: side of the ball. If you can get one, sure, 1475 01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:39,760 Speaker 3: you can sign one cheap, sure, but that's not that's 1476 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,280 Speaker 3: not for this draft. I don't think unless you know 1477 01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,479 Speaker 3: in the fifth, sixth, seventh round, you know, day three. 1478 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,280 Speaker 3: So that's kind of where Brownie and I are at. Yes, 1479 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,120 Speaker 3: a number one receiver affects the defense in a much 1480 01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:55,920 Speaker 3: different way than everybody eats. 1481 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,760 Speaker 1: But you don't need that as desperately as the other. Yeah. 1482 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:00,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, that's where we're at right now. 1483 01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:02,760 Speaker 3: We're thinking like what like today, You've got to pick 1484 01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:04,479 Speaker 3: a guy that's on the board right now, who do 1485 01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 3: you really need? 1486 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,000 Speaker 2: And you can argue you need a starter at corner 1487 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 2: and a potential starter at defensive tackle. I mean, day 1488 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:12,800 Speaker 2: Kwon Jones gonna be thirty four years old this year, 1489 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:14,840 Speaker 2: and I love day Quon, but is he getting through 1490 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 2: a seventeen games? 1491 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 1: And I don't know any starter in his place by 1492 01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 1: week six or seven? Yeah, And I don't know if 1493 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,760 Speaker 1: Dwayne Carter's gonna be ready for that. And I don't 1494 01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 1: think he. 1495 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:26,840 Speaker 2: Plays that spot per se. He's more so Ed's rotational backup, right. 1496 01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:30,160 Speaker 3: So you got to you gotta have some bodies, and 1497 01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:34,920 Speaker 3: corner is a glaring need right now. So yeah, well, 1498 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 3: I'll listen to the big wide receiver number one because, 1499 01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,599 Speaker 3: like I always say, better players make you better. Good 1500 01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 3: players make you good. Right, You're gonna get better with 1501 01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,360 Speaker 3: better players, and a and a big time number one 1502 01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,240 Speaker 3: would make you better. But man oh man, they got 1503 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,200 Speaker 3: some they got some other stuff that's more urgent. 1504 01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 2: Up against the clock here. But We're still taking your 1505 01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 2: phone calls here for the rest of the show. So 1506 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,599 Speaker 2: Bill in Old Forge, justin in one on to Another's holding. 1507 01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,000 Speaker 2: We'll get to you when we return here on One 1508 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 2: Bill's Live, presented by Klidea, Healt's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

Go ahead, get the importance. 1515 01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,920 Speaker 1: Go to Bill in Old Forge next. What's up? Bill? 1516 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,080 Speaker 4: Hey, guys, I'm gonna piggyback on Like Judy and Nick 1517 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,120 Speaker 4: Guy Cleveland said, there's nothing wrong with the team. Team's great, 1518 01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 4: coaching's great. Are we gonna win a bunch of games? 1519 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:56,080 Speaker 4: Course we are. We're that good. Allen's great to me, Bean, 1520 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 4: Bean's questionable his drafting, that's my opinion. I don't think 1521 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 4: he's been drafting that especially in the first two round 1522 01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,760 Speaker 4: since he's been here. We draft good players, not great ones. 1523 01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:05,080 Speaker 4: Then you look at guys you could have gotten and 1524 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 4: removed these made trading down kallis to me, it hasn't 1525 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,479 Speaker 4: worked out in the long run. But to not want 1526 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,760 Speaker 4: to have a number one guy, I mean a number 1527 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,760 Speaker 4: one guy to the history of league. You can go Kelly, 1528 01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:21,759 Speaker 4: Andre Reid, Aikman, Irvin mcnabbto I mean, every Super Bowl champion, 1529 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 4: Montana Rice, they usually had that guy that the star 1530 01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,360 Speaker 4: Hall Fame quarterback was thrown to. For the majority of 1531 01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,800 Speaker 4: time we was there, Brady didn't have it, Rodgers didn't 1532 01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,720 Speaker 4: have it. You know, some guys never had that in 1533 01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 4: their career and they still played good. And that would 1534 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,880 Speaker 4: be Allen, But a lot of these guys did have 1535 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:40,080 Speaker 4: a guy. Steve Young had Rice. The list goes on 1536 01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,680 Speaker 4: the history of the game. Bradchaw had Swan. Right now, 1537 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,320 Speaker 4: you've got Jamar Chase with Burrow. They're giving him a guy. 1538 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,960 Speaker 4: They're actually in the two guys Seedee Lamb with with 1539 01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 4: with Prescott. A lot of these guys do have a 1540 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 4: guy and we don't. And even Pittsburgh grabbing Metcalf, they're 1541 01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:56,680 Speaker 4: trying to get a guy without having a quarterback. So 1542 01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,280 Speaker 4: I'd hate to see I'm not one of those guys 1543 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,840 Speaker 4: that said we're wasting Al's career. There's no way the 1544 01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,880 Speaker 4: team is great. King's great. They're an awesome team. I'll 1545 01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,200 Speaker 4: never say that this team's great. 1546 01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:06,560 Speaker 7: I love it. 1547 01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,599 Speaker 4: I love what they do, everything about it. But would 1548 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,519 Speaker 4: I like to see a guy with Allen while he's 1549 01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:13,000 Speaker 4: still in his prime? Heck ya, I would because you 1550 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,240 Speaker 4: could score forty points a game, and that's fine. Why 1551 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 4: not score fifty a game? Maybe that is the thing 1552 01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:19,920 Speaker 4: that gets us to the super Bowl, maybe even win 1553 01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 4: a super Bowl. That one player. We don't know unless 1554 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 4: you try. And I always think when you got a 1555 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,720 Speaker 4: quarterback like him, it helps the most to have that 1556 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,000 Speaker 4: guy to throw to. And I would use Burrow and 1557 01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,560 Speaker 4: Jamar Chase as the best example for me what's in 1558 01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,160 Speaker 4: the league now those two guys, I don't think you 1559 01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:38,479 Speaker 4: ever start stop trying to do it. We need defensive 1560 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 4: help and all that, but I would love to see 1561 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 4: Alm with a guy and this everything eats. That means 1562 01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:43,400 Speaker 4: you got a bunch of just the average guys. 1563 01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:45,720 Speaker 3: I would like to have a guy I got you, 1564 01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,840 Speaker 3: And I'll say this, yeah, yeah, I would. I want 1565 01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 3: I want Jamar Chase right just like everybody. And and 1566 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,880 Speaker 3: I'll you know, I'll throw my you know your favorite player. 1567 01:19:57,920 --> 01:19:59,320 Speaker 3: You know, I'll throw another guy and you can throw 1568 01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,559 Speaker 3: him into the tree. That's fine, you know what I mean, 1569 01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:02,639 Speaker 3: I want that guy. 1570 01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:03,760 Speaker 7: Yes. 1571 01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 3: The point we're making is at this point, when you're 1572 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:08,559 Speaker 3: trying to build your team and you got a draft 1573 01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,840 Speaker 3: coming up, you're not You're not picking that guy on 1574 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,880 Speaker 3: the board. You're picking a guy at another position. Because 1575 01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,880 Speaker 3: I mean, look at y'all, use your example, Joe Burrown, 1576 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:26,760 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, and t Higgins. They stunk last year. Their 1577 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 3: team stunk because they and they had everything you can 1578 01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:32,880 Speaker 3: have a defense at all. They didn't have anybody. They 1579 01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 3: scored thirty points a game. They couldn't win. The reason 1580 01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,879 Speaker 3: we scored thirty points and ones because our defense got turnovers. 1581 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:40,400 Speaker 3: Are you gonna put are you gonna put all your 1582 01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 3: eggs in that turnover basket again? You gotta try and 1583 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:44,479 Speaker 3: get it. You gotta try and get better. 1584 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, because they were doing Why the Eagles win 1585 01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:47,960 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? 1586 01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,240 Speaker 2: Their defense pretty damn good, really good, best in the league. 1587 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:53,719 Speaker 1: So I'm. 1588 01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:59,240 Speaker 3: I get it, and I don't know why everybody, and 1589 01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,960 Speaker 3: I guess we're the conversation is going that way because 1590 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,639 Speaker 3: we've got to bring it up. I am not against 1591 01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 3: a number one wide receiver. I'm just again right now, 1592 01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:11,120 Speaker 3: that's not high on the list. 1593 01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:11,439 Speaker 1: Camp. 1594 01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:16,719 Speaker 3: It's always on the list. Absolutely. You always want a bigger, better, faster, 1595 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 3: you know, Calvin Johnson type guy like get me one 1596 01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 3: of those, yes, of course, but not in this draft, 1597 01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,000 Speaker 3: not at the top, not in the first three picks. 1598 01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:29,200 Speaker 3: And if you get down past the first three picks, well, 1599 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:30,720 Speaker 3: I don't know if you're gonna get that guy. 1600 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 1: That's my point. Off the board falls, Like I. 1601 01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:37,360 Speaker 2: Said earlier, if the ball board somehow falls a certain 1602 01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 2: way and somebody like a Matthew Golden falls in your lap, okay, 1603 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,360 Speaker 2: I make the pick. 1604 01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,679 Speaker 1: Totally fine with that. I don't think that's gonna happen. 1605 01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,880 Speaker 2: And to me, the more pressing priorities are on the 1606 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:56,160 Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. I mean, the problem for 1607 01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:59,800 Speaker 2: this team is not scoring points. It's keeping other teams 1608 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 2: off the scoreboard because you can't get off the field 1609 01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,519 Speaker 2: on third down. And you know, your your red zone 1610 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 2: defense was what the heck was it? It was middle 1611 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,719 Speaker 2: of the pack. I mean they're giving up touchdowns almost 1612 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:14,000 Speaker 2: fifty eight percent of the time. 1613 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I'll just look at one random website. I'll 1614 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 3: just take give there. This is a draft kind of website. 1615 01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,120 Speaker 3: It's and I can't remember, I can't pronounce some of 1616 01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,559 Speaker 3: the names. Tatorio McMillan wide receivers from Mary's Arizona six 1617 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,280 Speaker 3: five to twelve runs a four five five, Matthew Golden 1618 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:39,280 Speaker 3: from Texas, Luther Burden the third from Missouri, Emica Egbuca 1619 01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:43,200 Speaker 3: from Ohio State, Trey Harris from Old miss Eric. I 1620 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 3: am Anore from Stanford. I believe Jalen Royals. 1621 01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 1: Strike the second. Now that guy's not a strong class. 1622 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 3: You know that's what you're looking at. And I don't 1623 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,040 Speaker 3: know that I can be enamored with any of those 1624 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 3: guys as I would be with even the top guy 1625 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,560 Speaker 3: on the list, the six five two twelve kid that 1626 01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:10,400 Speaker 3: runs a four five five. If I had him a 1627 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:15,400 Speaker 3: choice between him and a dual carter, you take a 1628 01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:18,559 Speaker 3: dual carter. It's not always the case in these drafts. 1629 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:20,800 Speaker 3: You might take the wide out before you take the 1630 01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:25,559 Speaker 3: pass rusher. I'd almost take the top corner than any 1631 01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:30,840 Speaker 3: of these guys. You really need, they need a game 1632 01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:33,120 Speaker 3: wrecker on that side of the ball. Bosa may be, 1633 01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,160 Speaker 3: it might be it, but you're only here for one year, 1634 01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,400 Speaker 3: even so, I mean, let's just make it this as 1635 01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:40,320 Speaker 3: good as we can this year. 1636 01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 1: That's fine. 1637 01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:45,160 Speaker 3: If Bosa comes in and is a wrecking crew, awesome. 1638 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:48,880 Speaker 1: Let's go to Justin in oning on to what's. 1639 01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:52,599 Speaker 15: Up Justin afternoon, Guys, he kind of took the win 1640 01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 15: out of my sales. I'm banging that defensive drum. Hearing 1641 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,040 Speaker 15: everyone talk about wide receivers is like that SNL skate 1642 01:23:58,080 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 15: with Christopher Walking. I got a fever and I need 1643 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,920 Speaker 15: more cow bell, Like isn't isn't the answer? 1644 01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:04,200 Speaker 6: Right? 1645 01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:07,479 Speaker 15: Like we you said it multiple times? We set the 1646 01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:10,880 Speaker 15: scoring record, like where we were amazing on offense. I 1647 01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:15,000 Speaker 15: have nightmares of Elam tripping over himself against the Jeeps, 1648 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 15: Like it's we need to adjust the defense. Eagles proved 1649 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:19,520 Speaker 15: it's the D line. 1650 01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:20,960 Speaker 6: Call. 1651 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,360 Speaker 15: A couple of callers ago mention, like going to a 1652 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,040 Speaker 15: four to three, would we move Taron Johnson out to 1653 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 15: the outside, then would he be stuck primarily slotted? 1654 01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 3: Well, the way the way everything's structured down, he's there's 1655 01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,519 Speaker 3: nobody else to play out the other side is either 1656 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 3: you know, yeah, I don't know whether if or I 1657 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,400 Speaker 3: don't know if they take Taran off, or take maybe 1658 01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,519 Speaker 3: like what Dane Jackson off the field and put Tarran 1659 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:46,080 Speaker 3: outside instead. If they went to a two cornerbacks set, 1660 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:50,000 Speaker 3: you know, a true traditional four to three, you know, 1661 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 3: four down lineman, three linebackers, four defensive backs, two corners, 1662 01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,320 Speaker 3: two safeties, you know, it becomes a numbers game, in 1663 01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,360 Speaker 3: a matchup game. And I don't know how they would 1664 01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,720 Speaker 3: do it. It's been a while since we've seen them 1665 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,600 Speaker 3: do that, so and plus we don't even know how 1666 01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 3: the roster's going to look at the end of it. 1667 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:10,880 Speaker 3: But yeah, I leave that to the coaches and the 1668 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,160 Speaker 3: exes and those guys who watch film and study and 1669 01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,200 Speaker 3: know the limitations and the strengths and weaknesses of their 1670 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 3: own guys and can give some assessment of the opponent's 1671 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:24,400 Speaker 3: strengths and weaknesses and how to match those. That's a 1672 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,280 Speaker 3: week to week thing in the league. I'm not saying 1673 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 3: they'd do it every week or all the time, but 1674 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,040 Speaker 3: if they did it really, really well, you can bet 1675 01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 3: you'd see it a lot against a lot of teams. 1676 01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 3: So right now they don't have that in there. They 1677 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,360 Speaker 3: don't do that very much because probably because they don't 1678 01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 3: have any faith in it or faith in their players 1679 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 3: that they could do that or that that's the best way. 1680 01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,960 Speaker 3: So when that changes, you can bet it'll change in 1681 01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,360 Speaker 3: a heartbeat. But for right now, Tarren Johnson and his 1682 01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:53,160 Speaker 3: ability to compete as a nickel in the run game 1683 01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:55,800 Speaker 3: is part and parcel of why they have been able 1684 01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:57,400 Speaker 3: to run their defense the way they have. Now, you 1685 01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,080 Speaker 3: can make it cut cases they need to run it 1686 01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:01,559 Speaker 3: differently because of the you know, the struggles they had 1687 01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:06,600 Speaker 3: last year. Maybe they will, but Taron Johnson's been a 1688 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,519 Speaker 3: guy they do not want to take off the field 1689 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:09,080 Speaker 3: for anybody. 1690 01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:11,200 Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark in West Seneca here. What have 1691 01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:11,639 Speaker 2: you got Mark? 1692 01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 14: Hey, guys, here we are again. Every time at this 1693 01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 14: time of year. I feel like it's deja vu all 1694 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:22,599 Speaker 14: over again. It's with this receiver stuff. First of all, 1695 01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,720 Speaker 14: I love Judy, but her argument has a basic hole 1696 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,080 Speaker 14: in it right from the beginning, arguing we need a 1697 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 14: guy to go down the field, take the top off 1698 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,439 Speaker 14: and make big plays and then hold on to the ball. Well, 1699 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,920 Speaker 14: if you shorten the field and you make big plays, 1700 01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 14: you're typically going to be on the field lost time 1701 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 14: and you won't be holding the ball forty you know, 1702 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,479 Speaker 14: forty minutes a game, So that just doesn't make any 1703 01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:50,600 Speaker 14: sense on its face value that alone. Secondly, did we 1704 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:54,639 Speaker 14: not have a top five receivers here in his prime 1705 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 14: for three four years? And from what I could remember, 1706 01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,599 Speaker 14: we had our fair share again where we couldn't get 1707 01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:04,000 Speaker 14: the ball to that guy in games because of what 1708 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,600 Speaker 14: defenses were doing. It's not an automatic we're going to 1709 01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 14: move the ball and score forty five points a game. Secondly, 1710 01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,559 Speaker 14: it would be to me a change in strategy if 1711 01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 14: you have a number one and I'm not arguing against 1712 01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,840 Speaker 14: the number one receiver, I just think that they've got 1713 01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 14: to think of all these things before they make a 1714 01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 14: move like this. You got a guy that's demanding the 1715 01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,479 Speaker 14: ball just because of his pure ability and skill, that's 1716 01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:33,240 Speaker 14: going to be a change in strategy. Because as far 1717 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:36,679 Speaker 14: as I'm concerned right now, the strength of this offense 1718 01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 14: is that we have so many multiple weapons with above 1719 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 14: average skill, and we have a offensive coordinator who's very 1720 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 14: adept at moving those pieces around getting him positioned to 1721 01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:53,599 Speaker 14: make plays and score points. And then if there's going 1722 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,160 Speaker 14: to be a shift in what you're going to do, 1723 01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,320 Speaker 14: if you're now concentrating on getting the ball, I don't 1724 01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 14: know thirty forty percent of the t I'm to your 1725 01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:04,760 Speaker 14: number one receiver, so I mean, I think we could 1726 01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 14: use that eventually. And then lastly, I love when all 1727 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 14: these people bring up, well, we need a number one guy. 1728 01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:12,639 Speaker 14: We need a guy like Chase, we need a guy 1729 01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,720 Speaker 14: like Jefferson. Has everybody forgotten where we've been picking for 1730 01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:17,439 Speaker 14: five years? 1731 01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:17,760 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1732 01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:20,000 Speaker 2: And Mark, I'm sorry, we're up against the break here, 1733 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:21,439 Speaker 2: so I got to let you go, but thanks for 1734 01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 2: the call. And yeah, I mean they had a number 1735 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 2: one receiver here in Alpha Male and Stefan Digs for 1736 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:26,280 Speaker 2: four years. 1737 01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:27,320 Speaker 1: He was ultra productive. 1738 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 2: The offense was productive, the defense you could argue was 1739 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,759 Speaker 2: even better in terms of front to back talent wise. 1740 01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 2: And that didn't get him over the hump either. So 1741 01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:38,320 Speaker 2: there's no guarantee if you do get a number one receiver. 1742 01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:39,080 Speaker 1: Break time for us. 1743 01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:40,519 Speaker 2: Steve and I close it up next here on One 1744 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:58,640 Speaker 2: Bill's Live Stay with us. What offseason move holds the 1745 01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:02,200 Speaker 2: most potential for the Bills this coming season? Tweets sheet 1746 01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,800 Speaker 2: brought to by Corrigan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company 1747 01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:06,800 Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. Very quickly, I'll run through some 1748 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,760 Speaker 2: Tom says Bosa has a very high ceiling if you 1749 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:13,439 Speaker 2: can stay healthy. Mateo says, not signing James Cook means 1750 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,240 Speaker 2: we understand the cap and not needing to pay a 1751 01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:18,200 Speaker 2: running back. He uses great old line on MVP quarterback 1752 01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:21,200 Speaker 2: for success. Carl says the moves on the D line, 1753 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,400 Speaker 2: Connor says the signing of Bosa, and Christopher says getting 1754 01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:25,880 Speaker 2: draft picks to reshape our roster. 1755 01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:29,880 Speaker 1: Okay, it's all good. 1756 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:35,040 Speaker 3: I'm with you, yeah, Just get the best players you can. 1757 01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:37,040 Speaker 3: No matter what, I was tigur it out, I was 1758 01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 3: hammering Brownie with this. Just get your recipe in training camp, 1759 01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:41,559 Speaker 3: get the best players you can, then find out how 1760 01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:41,880 Speaker 3: you win. 1761 01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,439 Speaker 1: That's it for us today. We'll see you tomorrow at 1762 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:44,760 Speaker 1: one
