Speaker 1: you today, even though here in Orchard Park and I

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: know in East Ra about an hour ago, it was

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: pretty heavy snow, Steve. It was snowing pretty hard, even

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: though the sun was shut. The sun was shot, I

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: had there were shadows cast through the trees on my

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: lawn and snow fallen heavy. It was the weirdest things.

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, this is the apocalypse man, that you've got

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: a pandemic sweeping the planet and we've got a sunny, bright,

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: clear day with snow fallen with flakes the size of

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: golf balls. It's unbelievable. Yeah, it's over now and the

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: snow crazy day, the snow Melton immediately. But it was weird,

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, El, this is weird and this could impact

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: the show today. Steve, we lost internet at our house

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: last night for a long time. You were okay, I

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: mean from it went out at day thirty, right in

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the episode of Ozark I was watching,

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: which hurt, and it went out and never came back on.

41
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: And then I woke up this morning and tried it

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: about a thirty and we were back. That could happen again,

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: I think so if I'm gone, it's the internet. Blame

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: the internet. That is the flimsiest alibi for getting the

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: day off. I have ever heard. I don't need any

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: day right, You're right, no, I I turned the TV on.

47
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: We have internet TV. So it was I don't know,

48
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: nine thirty last night or so, maybe ten, and it

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: was working fine. It was working fine, So I don't

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: think we lost it a each time. Last night we

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: actually had a you know, I got a big patti

52
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: out the back of the house and my wife and

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: I were out there, had a little camp fire out there,

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: and it was freezing cold. It actually snowed last night

55
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: while we were out there with a little camp fire.

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: It was fun, but yeah, but it was out cooking

57
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: last night when it was snow. Anyway, we're back and

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: we got the internet here, and uh, you know, we're

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: just trying to make things too a loud. People call

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: up and I know they want us to be where

61
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: we were as far as TV. We're working on that.

62
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: That it can't happen yet because we can't get our

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: group together. That's number one. People wonder what are you

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna get the Stefan Diggs and some of these other

65
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: guys up. Again, we're limited by you know, what goes

66
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: on around the bills. They need to have full official

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: confirmation that those players are signed and they pass their physicals,

68
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: and until it happens, we won't get them out. And

69
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: that's what we're waiting for. We're not being certainly, we're

70
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: not being lazy. Steve, Come on listen. I I has

71
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: said it yesterday. We're the squeaky wheel. I mean we're

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: when they get when they get guys signed, we're gonna

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: get him. They got this guy Bame signed today. We'll

74
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: try and get him on at some point. Um he

75
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: now he tweeted out from his own house. I guess

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: it was his lovely bride over his shoulder. He had

77
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: a contract in front of him, right, So that guy signed,

78
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: so maybe we can get him. Evan Bam e v A. N.

79
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: B oe Hm as agreed with terms. Put it up

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: on social media. Bame like these Yeah. It started eight

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: games last season for the Dolphins, played in thirteen overall

82
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. Before that, he played for the Indianapolis

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Colts and the Arizona Cardinals. Came out of the out

84
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: of the University of Missouri in twenty sixteen. Is a

85
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: fourth round pick at Arizona. I spent a few years

86
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: there and went to the Indianapolis Colts. Evan Bam six three,

87
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: three hundred twenty one pounder, backup center, backup guard, appeared

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: in fifty five NFL games. He h or the second

89
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: time in what three weeks an offensive lineman signed by

90
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: a free agency. Good depth guy looks like a good

91
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: death guy, Steven. I think it would have some impact on,

92
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, at least training camp battles for the likes

93
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: of Spencer Long and some of the other guys on

94
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: the inside there no, yeah, exactly, and they want to

95
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: get as good as they can get. There's gonna be

96
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: some competition going on like you would expect, and it's

97
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see, if you know. I

98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: just hope we have a chance to watch training camp,

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, at this point, that's that seems

100
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: light years away, particularly since we're six days away from

101
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: the draft starting and we don't even know, you know,

102
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: who the Bills are gonna grab and who other teams

103
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: are gonna grab. What the roster's gonna look like at point,

104
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: or what the league or the landscape is gonna look like.

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, it would be fun just to

106
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: like just start training camp, just like always. That'd be great.

107
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: It'd be a great gift. I don't know. I don't know,

108
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: and we're just grasping at the clues as to what

109
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: might happen. This clue came ESPN talk to doctor Anthony Faucci,

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: who is alongside the president very often, sometimes when the

111
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: President wants him to be alongside or these daily updates,

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Doctor Anthony Faucci reportedly, according to ESPN, says the only

113
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: way professional sports will happen this summer is holding events

114
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: without fans in attendance and keeping players in hotels. That's

115
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: this summer. He specifically addressed a question about a shortened

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: baseball season and the start of football. He thought there

117
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: would not be enough interest from fans to watch games

118
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: even though even if they could attend, or there would

119
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: be enough interest from fans even if they could attend.

120
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: As far as the NFL is concerned, who knows how

121
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: it'll turn out. Maybe no training camp, maybe no preseason games.

122
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: We'll see if the start of the regular season is

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: impact The one thing that works in the NFL's favor,

124
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this is the calendar. Right by

125
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: midsummer maybe or late summer, early fall maybe, things they're

126
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: somewhat backed to normal and they can open up stadiums.

127
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: You know, you get rumblings out of California, the state

128
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: of California about that's not happening for a while. You

129
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: got doctor Faucci saying maybe you can do it with

130
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: no fans in the stands. Nobody knows, Stephen, We're just guessing.

131
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: But I do consider Faucci maybe a premier authority on this.

132
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: I do think, despite the fact that sometimes he doesn't

133
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: appear to be allowed to speak his mind, I think

134
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: he is about this. No, I mean, it's seriously. And

135
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: there's another thing. A pole. Stol University had a poll

136
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: that said seventy two percent of Americans say they would

137
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: not attend sporting events resumed without a vaccine. Thirteen percent

138
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: say they feel comfortable attending events the way they had

139
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: in the past. A second pole this week at a

140
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: slight plurality forty six percent to thirty six percent who

141
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: said the NFL season should not open a schedule in September. Look,

142
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: nobody knows what's gonna happ but I think it'd be

143
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: fool just to think that the NFL doesn't pay attention

144
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: to these kind of numbers, don't you think, Steve? Yeah, yeah,

145
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: and I yeah, for sure. I mean it's a it's

146
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: an entertainment business, right, and they've got to know what

147
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: their audience wants. And nobody has a greater sensitivity to

148
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: what their fans are really clamoring for than the NFL.

149
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they've stayed nimble over the decades by evolving

150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: into exactly what their fans want more of, um and

151
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: they do that with the rules and all that. But

152
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: I think, you, yeah, you gotta think. You gotta be

153
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: crazy to think they don't have their ear to the

154
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: ground listening intently as to what it's going to be

155
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: like if they try and open up stadiums. And I

156
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: think it does make sense. Now you can see this too, Murph,

157
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: the playing games without without fans, if they can get

158
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: to a place where they can see quester rosters, if

159
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: it gets you know, if if it goes away, you know,

160
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: if they're less and less new cases, less and less

161
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: people hospitalize, no new cases or whatever, further and further

162
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: along down that that thing, and they can, they can,

163
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: and they do have a quick, low cost, fast test,

164
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: accurate test, and they can find all their rosters that

165
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: are that are not you know, don't have anybody afflicted

166
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: with it or any anybody carrying it. Then I could

167
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: see them somehow finagling away into having games without fans,

168
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: particularly if they can get to a place where they

169
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: could group up that many people, Like you have two

170
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 1: football teams. That's you know, you're talking about two hundred

171
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: and fifty people in the stadium and then plus another

172
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: hundred people to broadcast it. Maybe not even that many.

173
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: So you can kind of you know, do mental gymnastics

174
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: maybe and get yourself to a spot where you can

175
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: see that maybe happening. But man, oh man, that's a

176
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: long way. You know, that's a lot to do. That's

177
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people to test, it's a lot of

178
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: people to seequester. It's and that's not just on both

179
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: football teams and both organizations also in the broadcast end

180
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: of it. You know what I'm saying. Yep, that's a

181
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: big issue. Yep. So and that's a hurdle. That's a hurdle.

182
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: It's got to be addressed. We've talked about this on

183
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: our show before the league can begin to address these

184
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: things internally and talk about it internally. But there's no

185
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: point in making a pronouncement today, April fifteenth, this is

186
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do this fall because it's five months away,

187
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: four and a half, five months away. They don't have

188
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: to announce anything now, So I don't blame them for

189
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: keeping it. I don't know if they're even keeping it

190
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: under wraps. They're just trying to observe what's going on.

191
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: You know, how's it gonna work. Is Baseball gonna try something? Sure,

192
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: maybe they will. In NFL will take a look at

193
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: how that works for them. You know, I think they'll

194
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: go to school on that stuff. It's the simple fact

195
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: the matter, Murph is. And if you can't get more

196
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: than what twenty people together at once, that's more than

197
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: you can. Now you can't get like ten people, right,

198
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: So it's physical. You can't even have a huddle, you know, yeah, right,

199
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just not going to happen in football

200
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: until something drastically changes. But you said, the NFL has

201
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: been fortunate from the very beginning because of the calendar

202
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: but nobody, None of us are fortunate because the calendar

203
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: says it's gonna be early next year, in twenty twenty

204
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: one before they have a vaccine, right, So unless that changes,

205
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm with a lot of the people say, listen, vaccine

206
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: changes everything for me. If you can give me that,

207
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 1: i'll you know, I'm fine, I'm good, let's go. But

208
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: that's just one person, you know, me and whoever you know,

209
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: not everybody else will be you know, how are they

210
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna get seventy gazillion people vaccinated? You know, it's just

211
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 1: I don't know how it's gonna work. I don't know

212
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be clamoring for one so they can get

213
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: out of their house. You know, the NFL is important

214
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: to us. Those are us side of this show. I

215
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: was supposed to listen to the show, but look, in

216
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: the big picture, it's not that important. It'll get solved somehow,

217
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: but it's really not as important to some of the

218
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: other issues going on today. So we'll wait with uncertainty.

219
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: We'll wait um to see how how this works out.

220
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: Anything about it too. It's a it's a huge question. Say,

221
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: for instance, they do come up with this vaccine, right, well,

222
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: who do you give it to? First? You know, what,

223
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: did you give it to an industry? First? You get people,

224
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: you know, law enforcement, healthcare workers, you know, important people

225
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: like that who have been you know, have been in

226
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: harm's way for so long. And then what you're gonna

227
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: make a case that you're gonna give it to a

228
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: sports league that you know? To me, that sounds a

229
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: little bit outlandish. You know. So there's a lot of

230
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: you know, the military, you can give it to them.

231
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: Um gosh, you know, that's kind of where you start.

232
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: And right there is a couple of million, couple million

233
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: people that you got to get started with. And that's

234
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: before you even get to anything about you know, making

235
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: cars and toilet paper again, right, so you know, there

236
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: we go. I mean, it seems like those sports leagues

237
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: would be way way down the list if they were

238
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: gonna divvy out the vaccines in such a manner. Yep,

239
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: speaking of it, did you ever see I've told you

240
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: this is a couple of weeks ago, I watched a

241
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: couple of movies, one of them Contagion. It's about a

242
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: nine or ten year old movie where that issue was

243
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: critical to the plot developm Like who gets the vaccine first.

244
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: I mean people were coming up with false IDs and

245
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: and there there was political influence going on. You can

246
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: see something like that happening. You know, who gets who

247
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: gets the vaccine first? That would be an issue, I think,

248
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: and I think it. You know, you'd want to know, Okay,

249
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: how fast can you make this stuff? You know, how

250
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: fast is it can the vaccine be produced? Where is

251
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: it going to be distributed to? You know, all that stuff?

252
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: Because he think about this, Murphy know, a year ago,

253
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: he walk into your local pharmacy, can get it for

254
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: get a flu shot for free? Right? You know how

255
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: far away from that did we seem? You know that,

256
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: I mean every you can. Can you imagine it'll be

257
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: the vaccine is going to be ten times worse than

258
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: the toilet paper run was a month ago? Yep? Right, yep, yep. Yeah.

259
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: Are there so many questions? Right? Yeah? I think I

260
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: think the legal handle and I think the league once

261
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: again benefits so much from the calendar where this whole

262
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: timeline falls in relation to their season. But I don't

263
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: think it's any question at this point where we can't predict,

264
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: but we can only kind of, you know, kind of

265
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: guess it's gonna affect it's already starting to affect the offseason.

266
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Obviously it's affecting the draft this next week. But man,

267
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: oh man, how how big a dent is it going

268
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: to put into this monster that's been the NFL for

269
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: so long? You know, it's it'll be interesting to see

270
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: and yet it'll be telling the same Yep, we do

271

Speaker 1: it's it's gonna it's chugging along. It's gonna be great,

306
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: and I you know, everybody can be on board with this.

307
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's obvious that what a need is out there,

308
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be uh, it's gonna be fun to

309
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: watch it. Really. I think it'll probably take up when

310
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: the draft begins, right when the when the viewers and

311
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: all the eyes are on it. So that'll be fun.

312
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: That'll be fun to see. And you think about the

313
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: winners that are gonna happen because of it, some pretty

314
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: fun stuff to do. Um, yep. And and it's you know,

315
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: it's rare opportunities to get interpret and you know, Brandon Being,

316
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: if you do win one of these experiences, the people involved,

317
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna make it really personal. Um, it's gonna be

318
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's gonna be well worth it,

319
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

320
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: All these things that they're giving away. So it's pretty cool.

321
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: I think they've they've they've really gone the extra mile

322
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: to make this uh push Well. Brandon Being joins us

323
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,240

00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft at his home coming up a two

326
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: draft analysts Dame Drugler from the Athletic dot Com he's

327
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,400

328
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: so we're looking forward to that. On the show today,

329
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills talk today. We can talk about

330
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: this and you can see if you can put yourself

331
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: in Brandon Bean's position now as he gets set for

332
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: his third draft as a general manager of the Buffalo Bills, right,

333
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, think about what's going on here. First year,

334
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: he made a big move draft at the quarterback Josh Allen.

335
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: Last year I made another big move, got Ed Oliver

336
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: In a second draft, I was getting set for his

337
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: third draft. Could you say that this year's NFL draft

338
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: eight days away is going to be easier for Brandon Bean?

339
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: If so, what would be the reasons? Here's that's our

340
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. What makes this year's NFL Draft easier for Bills?

341
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Em Brandon Bean? If you have a thought on this,

342
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: give us a call. Eight oh three oh five fifty

343
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: twelve three one eight eight eight five fifty two five

344
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: fifty What makes this year's NFL Draft easier for Brandon mean,

345
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: it's because he doesn't really need a starter. I think

346
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: we've established that they couldn't get a starter Steve in

347
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: particular on the offensive line. But maybe they're not desperate

348
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: for a starter. As you know, they needed a starting quarterback,

349
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: they needed a defensive lineman who could at least go

350
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: in and play an important part of the rotation. They

351
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: really don't have a desperate need for a starter. Maybe

352
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: that makes it easy for Brandon Nuns not desperate. You

353
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: can make that, You can make that an argument, but

354
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: I think in the atmosphere over here, man, it never

355
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: gets easier, you know. So I don't know there is

356
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: no need for a starter. Believe me, I agree with that.

357
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: I think they got a really strong roster right now.

358
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: In fact, you know, you look at it from what

359
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: they've already done in free agency, you got to feel

360
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: really good about their direction. But I'm always, for me,

361
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: I can't let go of it like that because I

362
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: always think the next draft pick is gonna be this

363
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: guy that's like, wow, where'd they get him? You know,

364
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: how did this guy get all the way to number

365
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: fifty four in this draft? Right? You know what I mean?

366
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: So I'm all about having a draft and making sure

367
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: that there is a guy out there that it could

368
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: be because of his chemistry, because of whatever he gets

369
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: to the Bills, that Bills pick him and it turns

370
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: out to be this phenomenal player. So one of those

371
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: guys that you know, we start calling them by their

372
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: first name. Pretty cool. What makes this ssu is draft easier?

373
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: From Brandon Bean? Is it you know he's out of

374
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: the first round. Does he do the Bills avoid any

375
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: technical issues and he glitches in the first round? Maybe

376
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: that makes it easier. He can kind of let the

377
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: process work himself out Thursday night, knowing that they don't

378
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: start picking into Friday. Maybe that's what makes it easier.

379
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: Or is the answer? Hey, it's not easier. They're still

380
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: trying to build a championship roster. That's our Twitter poll.

381
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: What makes this Yue's NFL Draft easier for Bills GM?

382
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean on the poll so far two hundred sixty

383
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: votes cast so far, seventy one percent of you answer

384
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: it's not easier. They're still trying to build a championship roster.

385
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: I get it. Maybe it's not easier. Maybe it's more,

386
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they got to be more right. They

387
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: have seven picks. Maybe they got to be more right

388
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: about these draft picks this year, because you know, basically

389
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: you're looking for, you would think, the last few important

390
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: pieces of a championship roster. So there's that argument. Seventy

391
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: one percent of you say that, eighteen percent say, look,

392
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: it's got to be easier. He's not looking for a starter,

393
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: he's looking for a depth player, and just eleven percent

394
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: say they can avoid the technical glitches that may come

395
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: up in the first round. Well that's Brandon about this

396
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: two steam. Maybe he would probably deny that it's going

397
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: to be any easier. Maybe he feels more pressure. Hey,

398
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: I gotta get this right. You know, we're this close

399
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: to a championship. I'm rater get this right this year.

400
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: I think the pressure is on. I just think it's

401
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: it's it's really difficult to say, but I think the

402
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: pressure is on, no question, because I think inside the

403
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: building they've always had high aspirations, and I think building

404
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: on what they did last year, you got to think, Okay, guys,

405
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: this year, we really do need to step it up.

406
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: We've got to get you know, we got to win

407
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: another game or two. We've got to do that we've

408
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: got to get deep into the playoffs. We've got to

409
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: give our chance to get ourselves a chance to get

410
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. That kind of thing. But now

411
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: when you're sitting here before the draft, Murph, you got

412
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: like a pick number fifty four, pick number eighty six,

413
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: and you're you still feel the pressure to make the

414
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: fifty fourth pick, the eighty sixth pick, the two hunt

415
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: us and what is it, the two hundred and one

416
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eighth pick, one hundred and sixty seventh pick,

417
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: the one eighty eight, two o seven, two thirty. They

418
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: got those picks, and now the pressure is still on

419
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: that one of those guys has got to be, you know,

420
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: a Devin Singletary. He's got to be He's gotta be

421
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: your starting left tackle in a pinch. He's got to

422
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: be your starting linebacker. He's got to step in at safety,

423
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: he's got to step in whenever this whatever position he is.

424
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, you got to find a guy late in

425
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: this draft, mid to late in this draft, who in

426
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: a pinch in the season when somebody twists their ankle,

427
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: this guy's got to save the season, right, I mean,

428
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing you're talking about in worst

429
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: case scenario, guy like Brandon Bean's thinking, we gotta find

430
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: a guy who our coaches are gonna put in a

431
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: position where when an injury happens or something else happens,

432
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: this guy's got to save the season. And that's the

433
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: kind of pressure the Brandon Bean's gonna feel when, you know,

434
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: when this draft kicks off. You know, you look back

435
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: at what Bean has done in his first few couple

436
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: of drafts here and in twenty eighteen, his first draft.

437
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: He came on after the twenty seventeen draft, so he

438
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: doesn't get credit for that. One. Seventh round Austin Prole,

439
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: wide receiver in North Carolina. Austin Prole wasn't a fit here,

440
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: didn't work out here, bounced around a little bit. But

441
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: sixth round they chose wide receiver Ray Ray McCloud from Clemson.

442
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: He remains on the roster, kind of a practice squad

443
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: type guy, maybe making a roster shot. Fifth round they

444
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: got guard Wyatt Teller from Virginia Tech, who they have

445
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: since turned into a you know, they traded him away

446
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. Got some value there. Fifth round also Sir

447
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: and Neil, who's an important part of the rotation on

448
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: the back end of the defense. Fourth round tarn Johnson

449
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: from Weaver State, a key player, and then of course

450
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: you get to Harrison Phillips in the third, and you

451
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: know they got the first the two first rounders, Tremaine

452
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: Evans and of course Josh Allen in twenty nineteen, last

453
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: year's draft. I'm looking it up now, and I'll start

454
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: with the bottom end of the draft, because that's when

455
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: you think there would be no pressure, right, That's when

456
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: you think the Bills wouldn't have a lot of pressure.

457
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: But in twenty nineteen, at the bottom of the draft,

458
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: seventh round came Tommy Sweeney, who I think most people

459
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: view as an interesting prospect, certainly not played out at all.

460
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney could be a guy who might have something

461
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: to say about tight end. They also got in the

462
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: seventh round, a guy who maybe you can say even

463
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: more of Daryl Johnson, right, Darrol Johnson, Bam Johnson on

464
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: the defensive line, a guy who's kind of you know,

465
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: I think there's pretty good signs from Daryl Johnson in

466
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: the limited playing time he hit. Sixth round Jikwan Johnson

467
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: last year from Miami, fifth round by Shan Joseph from Florida.

468
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: Those two guys I think are going to have a

469
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: good chance to be important players for the Bills. In that,

470
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: of course you get the third round Dawson Knox and

471
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary and then second round Cody Ford and of

472
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: course the first rounder, uh At Oliver. So it's not

473
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: like Brandon Bean has other than Austin Prole. It's not

474
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: like Brandon Bean has had a couple of drafts for

475
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: the Bill so far where he's not um, you know,

476
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: not painting. I'm not gonna see he's not feeling the pressure.

477
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: But they managed to get contributions right down the line,

478
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: six rounders, seventh rounders for the most part for a

479
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: couple of years. Here, Stephen, that's important. Yeah. And I

480
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: but here's the the other side of that sword, the

481
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: other edge of that two sided sword, Murphy. They had

482
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: lots of room for guys to come in and contribute

483
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: their rosters trying they're trying to rebuild. There was spots

484
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: on the roster for guys who had time to like

485
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: Bam Johnson. Uh And I'll tell you what, I gotta

486
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: tip my hat to guys like Bam Johnson. He came

487
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: in and he's in and he kind of you know,

488
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: he's a good athlete and he remember, he had a

489
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: couple of sacks in the last couple of preseason games,

490
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: really showed off some some you know, some ability. So

491
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: they put him on the roster and he covers kicks

492
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: all season and then at the end he started to

493
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: get rotated in. He still got a lot to work on,

494
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: but you know, those are the kind of and it

495
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: wasn't that he came in ready to play and all that,

496
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: but he came in and part of the vetting process,

497
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: the Bills get a guy like Bam Johnson who has

498
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: a work ethic and a commitment to being good. They

499
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: carried him through to the fact that you know what,

500
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: he was a much better player in week fifteen, sixteen

501
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: seventeen than he was in weeks one, two, and three.

502
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: And that's the part of why the Bills football team

503
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: is better in weeks fifteen, sixteen seventeen than they were

504
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: in weeks one, two and three. Despite the fact that

505
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, they struggled at the late in the season

506
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: to win games, they were a better football team at

507
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: the end of that season. And that's the kind of

508
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: vetting process that sometimes when you get down to the fourth, fifth, sixth,

509
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: seventh rounds of the draft, it's more about what's inside

510
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: the guy than it is his physical measurables. Yeah, maybe

511
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: that's why this draft will be important. Maybe it won't

512
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: be easier for Brandon being we will ask him, We

513
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,399

533
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: But Murph, it's all it's all running together right about now.

534
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: My weekends don't change all that much from what I

535
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: do every you know what I mean. I don't have

536
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: the show to do, but you kind of walk from

537
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: one end of the house or the other just looking

538
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: for little projects that aren't too difficult. And you know,

539
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: don't you know what I mean? You know, I'm running

540
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: out of the easy projects to do, and now I'm

541
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: starting to get into the I cleared my desk off

542
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: the other day and it was let's feel better about myself.

543
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: But it's hard to feel better. Hey. You know what,

544
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: I've been watching a lot of movies, and I've decided

545
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to give a brief movie report, not a

546
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: movie review, but a little bit of a movie report

547
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: each day. And you know what I got watching last night?

548
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: I was trying to watch Ozark, which is a staple

549
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: and then my internet went out. As I told you, so,

550
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: I wound up watching A True Grit twenty ten. Jeff Bridges.

551
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Bridges, I tell you something, what a great movie.

552
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: Fantastic movie. I was very you know, I'm a big

553
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: John Wayne fan like everybody. I'm with you, Murph. That

554
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: movie was so well done, yeah, so authentic. Uh. I

555
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: was shocked at how much I liked it. Me too.

556
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: You know. It was directed and put together by the

557
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: Cohen Brothers and that I think. I saw that movie

558
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: when it came out, and last night was the first

559
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: time I've seen it in a while since it came out.

560
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: But I was I love that movie. It was Cohen Brothers,

561
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: so it was a little bit off beat. I'm telling that.

562
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: Jeff Bridges, I think won the Academy Award, right. But

563
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: the actress, and I don't have her name, handy, I

564
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: look it up, who played the young girl? Um was amazing.

565
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: Hayley Steinfeld as Maddie Ross. She was amazing in that movie.

566
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: And the Josh Brolin was good, Matt Damon was great.

567
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: Just a really good, well acted movie. And Steve, you

568
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: know what, I got a big kick out of the

569
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: dialogue the way they talked to me. It was great.

570
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: It was that the even even the weaponry that they

571
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: used was kind of standard at the time. It didn't

572
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: sound like the you know, the Clint Eastwood, you know,

573
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: high planes, drifter kind of gun play. It sounded like

574
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: old antique, you know, not quite right firearms that they used,

575
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: and they were cumbersome, and it was you know, it

576
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: was a new technology, and their language was was archaic.

577
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: And there the fashion, even the even the the the

578
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: costume design of the thing was really good. And uh

579
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: there was some eccentric characters all scattered throughout of it,

580
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: throughout it, and it was you know, they it's interesting too,

581
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: because you know, you think in all these Western movies,

582
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's so trite and overdone and stereotypical.

583
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: They head into Indian country, right, yeah, you never see

584
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: an Indian an Indian, You never see an Indian. But

585
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: it was dropped on the reservation and there were outlaws.

586
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's where all the outlaws lived, right, So

587
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: it was it was great. It was I agree the movie.

588
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: Favorite scene in the movie was for me when Mattie Ross,

589
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: the young girl trying to get the money together to

590
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: put together this posse to go out and get the

591
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: guy she claims killed her father. And she's negotiating with

592
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: this businessman. It's sitting at his desk, and the language

593
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: back and forth and she's threatening to sue him, and

594
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just amazing the language back and

595
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: forth and the way they talked to each other, and

596
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: she eventually got the guy to pay her three under

597
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: twenty dollars for a bunch of ponies that they didn't

598
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: even want. It was great, just a really good movie,

599
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: True Grit from twenty ten. She was nominated for I

600
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: think Best Supporting Actress and Jeff Bridges won the Best

601
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: Actor in the Academy Awards. What a good movie. I

602
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: know everybody knows that, but a movie that I never

603
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: think of. But it was really good to watch that

604
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: last night. Really good. There's been a few movies here

605
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: in the last fifteen ten or fifteen years that have

606
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: made me rethink my fandom of certain iconic movie stars

607
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: like John Wayne. Like John Wayne, I thought, now I

608
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: still like John Wayne, don't get me wrong, But the

609
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: job that they and remaking True Grit with Jeff Bridges

610
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: was a much better He was a much better Rooster

611
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: Cogbird than John Wayne was. I know, I know, I'm

612
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna get killed for saying that, because John Wayne's this

613
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: iconic figure. I love him. But man, oh man, Jeff

614
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: Bridges hit a home run on anyone. I had Academy

615
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: awarded for it. There's another one too. I've long been

616
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: a James Bond fan, and Sean Connery is wasn't always

617
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: the great, you know, the greatest James Bond, but the

618
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: movies with Daniel Craig, particularly the first one in Casino Royal,

619
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: in my opinion, was the best Bond movie ever. Okay,

620
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: and you got to watch it to appreciate it. But

621
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: I was, I shocked myself at my concession that, you know,

622
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: me being this Sean Connery guy said, you know, Daniel Craig,

623
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: that movie was the best James Bond movie ever and

624
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: it didn't include Sean Connery. So I'm I was. There's

625
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: been a couple of movies like that of last ten

626
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: or fifteen years that have made me like raise my

627
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: eyebrows up myself as to, you know, questioning my legions

628
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: to iconic guys like you know, John Wayne and Sean Connery.

629
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: So what am I gonna do? Yeah, that's okay. I'm evolving, Murph.

630
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm watched Goldfinger Sean Connery, ya Bond movie, and it's good.

631
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: It's sort of a cartoon, but it's good. I can

632
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: see why in nineteen sixty three or whatever it was,

633
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: people get hooked on that. But I gotta believe the

634
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 1: more reason. And I'm not a James Bond movie guy.

635
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: I gotta believe they're more realistic at least and a

636
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: little more rooted in reality, right, Goldfingers, like it's got

637
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: a cartoon in many respects. Yeah, it's good. Yeah. You

638
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: never see anybody that is not dressed, you know, to

639
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: the t. You're right, you know, suit and tie. Nobody's

640
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: ever without a sport coat, nobody's ever without a hat

641
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: outside you, nobody's you know what I mean. So there's

642
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of that going on. There's never a

643
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: casual moment, you know. The only time you see him

644
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: without a coat on his after he's fought someone, right

645
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: so orunde right, or if he's got a towel around

646
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: his waist. Right. So, Yeah, it is a little bit

647
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: cart by today's standards. The movie industry wasn't just wasn't

648
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: in a spot where they could portray guys like that. Sure,

649
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: I get it. We'll talk about movies every day, I think,

650
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: because I'll probably watch one a day. I've seen a

651
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: lot of good movies lately. I'm going to talk about

652
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: the Bills in the NFL though a lot today and

653
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: our twitter poll. What makes this year's NFL draft easier

654
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: for Bills GM Brandon Being? Is it because the Bills

655
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: have no need to draft a starter. Is it because

656
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: they don't have a first round pick they can avoid

657
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 1: glitches technical glitches in the first round? Or is the answer? Hey,

658
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: this draft isn't easier. They're trying to build a championship roster.

659
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: They need help. Give us a call. The phone line's

660
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: wide open eight oh three five fifty toll free from

661
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

662
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: You got Brandon Being live with us at one o'clock.

663
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: We'll ask him this question. But let's get some of

664
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: the answers from you from the from the tweet sheet

665
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: brock you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of

666
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. He says it's never easy. There are

667
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: so many players to review, even though they've added a

668
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: lot to a pretty good roster. Bean and company still

669
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: need to if I where they can add depth and

670
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: continue to build. This year is even more difficult because

671
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen, with teams not being able to meet

672
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: and work out these players fair points. I have a

673
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: feeling that's kind of the answer we'd get from Brandon

674
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: Being if we asked him that question. Steve, Yeah, I

675
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: think you got to find sometimes for me though, and

676
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: I they for whatever reason, they keep going back and

677
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,239
Speaker 1: reworking guys out right. I think this keeps teams from

678
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: going back and saying, Okay, we need to talk to

679
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: this guy again, let's look at his film one more time,

680
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: or whatever, let's go down and whatever. I think it

681
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: keeps teams from overthinking it a little bit and talking

682
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: themselves out of something that they don't need to be

683
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: talked out of, you know what I mean. It seems

684
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: to me in the years past and when things are normal,

685
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, they send a scout down, then he tells

686
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: you what he thinks. Then he send up you know,

687
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: the director of college personnel, you know, Dan Morgan or

688
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: Being goes down and they'll say, yeah, I think the

689
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: same thing he does. Well, then you got to send

690
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: the coach down and then the GM and they say, okay,

691
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: we all agree on what this guy could be. Well,

692
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: your scout could have told you that, and you know

693
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: what I mean. So in some ways, I think it

694
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: kind of cuts out the fat of the process. But

695
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: when you get down to, like the guy who's your

696
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty second ranked player, that's kind of

697
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: where you're at. Anyway, You're not gonna go down that

698
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: deep into the into the thing. So I and this

699
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: is a it's the club with the Bills who recently,

700
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: like you said, Murphy got some pretty good players and

701
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: I said, you know, hey, they needed good players. There

702
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: was easy to make this roster last year. But these

703
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: are players that got on the field with NFL with

704
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: an NFL team in the Buffalo Bills, against other NFL

705
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: players and they played well. So there is a level

706
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: of credibility these late round draft picks for the Bills

707
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: that say, hey, they weren't just guys that were filling

708
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: out this roster. They're guys that were NFL type players

709
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: and the Bills found them. So I don't think this

710
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: is gonna hamstring their ability to pick those guys or

711
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: or pinpoint them. I just don't I just don't think

712
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: they'll feel as sure about it. I have a lot,

713
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: I have total confidence, and they're going to get these

714
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: guys and get them right. I just don't know that.

715
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: I just don't know that they'll be as sure about

716
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: them as they would have otherwise been. You got the

717
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: tweet Sheeta, don't you get the one from Tiffany with

718
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: the with the team's potential to be a contender. With

719
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: this team's potential to be a contender, there is still

720
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: a great opportunity to add quality players to a developing roster.

721
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: Having depth that keep positions cornerback, running back in old

722
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: line could prove valuable as the season moves along. Depth

723
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: and health equal wins. Yeah, it brings up a good

724
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: point right there at the end, depth and health equal wins.

725
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: The Bills have been the healthiest roster in the NFL

726
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: for the past two seasons, if not one of the

727
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: healthiest two seasons ago, if not the healthiest and the

728
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 1: absolute healthiest this last season. Does that continue? You think, Murph? Well,

729
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna warn you. I wanted

730
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: to hear where you're going with it. I think it.

731
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a coincidence. Eric Siano was was

732
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: was awarded with the Strength Conditioning Coach of the Year

733
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: by the NFL this past season. We'd love to get

734
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: him on the We'd love to get him on the show.

735
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: Maybe we will, we should. But there's it's not coincidence.

736
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 1: And it's not just that, you know, they get a lot.

737
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of luck involved though, No, Steve

738
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: a little I guess a little bit. You'd think, right,

739
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you know a guy's not gonna

740
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: get rolled up on? Right? Yeah, I mean, that's that's

741
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. But all the time in the NFL,

742
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: the guys get hurt. When you're like, man, that guy

743
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: was in great shape and he did everything right way,

744
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: and they do a great job and all of a

745
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: sudden you get rolled up on or they get hit

746
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: the wrong way and they're out. You know, stuff happens.

747
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I hate the I almost hate to

748
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: mention that about how lucky they've been to avoid injuries,

749
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: because you don't want to tempt faith, you know what

750
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean. Here's here's what I think the aspect of

751
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: this where it becomes a gray area where you can

752
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: make a difference. And that means guys who've got a

753
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: sore ankle, a guy who's got a twisted knee, or

754
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: a guy who's not one hundred percent after the game

755
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday, the protocols and the rehabs and the staff

756
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: and the facilities that are at his disposal to get

757
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: him back on the field for the next game healthy

758
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: and one hundred percent. That is a place where you

759
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 1: can do better than other teams. That is a place

760
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: where what you do during the week makes a significant

761
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: difference as to the quality of play you get from

762
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: that guy on Sunday. And that goes all the way

763
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: backwards from that as well, not just to get him

764
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: ready to play on Sunday, but also to get him

765
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: ready maybe by Wednesday, when otherwise it would have been Friday.

766
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: It's it's two full days of practice, and the team

767
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: gets better. They practice better, they prepare better, and when

768
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: you prepare better, you win. So that's the kind of

769
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: the gray area from one getting a guy ready to

770
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: play on Sunday when he otherwise wouldn't have been, and

771
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: also getting him ready to practice on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

772
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: so that he can prepare bet or anything between those

773
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: two extremes is where your staff and your your coaching

774
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: staff and your medical staff and your strength conditioning staff

775
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: make a difference. I agree, I don't disagree with that.

776
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: That does make a difference. And you know, back in

777
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: our old place of work, we're right around the corner

778
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: from the nineteen million dollar performance center, and so it's

779
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: easy to point to that and say, well, that's why

780
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: they didn't have injuries. But you know what, I think

781
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: it is more and you've you've said this and hinted data.

782
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: It's the it's the protocols, it's the position they have.

783
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: Like first of all, they measure guys with incredible uh

784
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: you know uh analytics and make sure you know, they

785
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: test their workload and make sure they're not over taxing them.

786
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: But then they back off when they see that they're

787
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: pushing guys too heart And that's a that's a mindset,

788
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: and that's an attitude that this builds a team has

789
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: right now, and I think it goes a long way.

790
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: And look, there's no guarantee there won't be injuries, but

791
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: I think they do everything they can to do everything

792
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: in their power to minimize the effective injuries. Yeah, and

793
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: and and it's it's not just true for the Bills, right, Uh,

794
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: it's true for a lot of teams around the league.

795
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: Maybe not all them, but most of them. And here's

796
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: the thing, long day, long gone, Murph. Are the days

797
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: of and I don't want to I'm not gonna cast

798
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 1: dispersions on because he's a great code, but it's long gone.

799
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: Or the days of Vince Lombardi where you guys playing

800
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: with a with a you know, an injury. Guys are

801
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: playing you know, they say, hey, you just keep going.

802
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: He just you know, taping up and let's go. Long gone.

803
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: Or the days where you didn't treat players like they

804
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: were valuable assets. You treated them more like cattle, you know,

805
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: where hey, if you're not ready, we're gonna get a

806
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: different guy in here. That kind of thing. These guys

807
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: are valuable. That it's a very elite group of athletes

808
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: that can play in the NFL, and it's getting more

809
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: so every year, and they are getting treat did more

810
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: like world class athletes who have a value to give

811
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: every day, not just on Sunday. And they have staffed

812
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: most teams have staffed their medical department and their rehab

813
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: department and their Strength Conditioning department with people who can

814
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: maximize the healing capabilities of the human body and give

815
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: it help to get them you know it is. It's

816
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: amazing the facilities and the protocols they have in place

817
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: to help these guys stay healthy and get healthy and

818
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: rehab so it's not by accident, and there's a lot

819
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: inside that makes it possible for teams to one team

820
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: to stay healthier than the other. But like you say, Murph,

821
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: it's a crapshoot in a lot of ways once the

822
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: ball is kicked in the air. Yep. Hey, we want

Speaker 1: Is this gonna be an easier draft for Brandon Bean

847
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: and what would make it so? The fact that he

848
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: does not have a first rounder He can let the

849
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: other teams sort of fumble their way through the technological

850
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: issues of the first round on the phone. Would it

851
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: be because they don't need a starter or are we crazy?

852
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not going to be easier at all. Let's

00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: there's a report out there. I don't know, and Mary

856
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: kay Cabot, reliable reporter from Cleveland dot com, says it's false.

857
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: Let me just read your recent tweet. Mary kay Cabot.

858
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: Ten minutes ago received a one word answer from a

859
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: source close to the Vikings about the report that they're

860
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: talking to the Browns about trading for Odell Beckham Junior.

861
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: The Vikings would send a second and fifth rounder next year.

862
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: The one word falls for the Browns really trade away

863
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham after just one year and limited production that

864
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: he had. I know, you know, you get into uniforms,

865
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: you think it's a fresh start, But how many fresh

866
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: starts can one team handle. I'm saying no too. I

867
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: think it falls too. I think I think Obj's got

868
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: a lot of good football in him. I don't think

869
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: he's for everything that happened to him in New York

870
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: and that sent him to Cleveland. That guy can play,

871
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: and yeah, a new head coach is not is not

872
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: gonna trade that guy away. No way. There's just no way.

873
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: There's no way Kevin Stefanski is gonna trade him. Now

874
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: as Stefanski used to be the offensive coordinator in Minnesota, right, yep,

875
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: Well that that's where it came from. Somebody probably had

876
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: a conversation of personal friend or personal relationship. You know,

877
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: he's called back. How's it going? Hey? How about trading

878
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: this o b J? You know that kind of thing

879
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. I mean, I'm not gonna say

880
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: never never, but I'm kind of with them. I think

881
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: this is kind of somebody who found out about a

882
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: conversation between two friends who are just touching basse and

883
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: that was it, if at all. I don't think you

884
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: can do that to a fan base. You know, the

885
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland fan base so loyal, as loyal as they come.

886
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: And yes, last year was an amazing letdown for them.

887
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: I would you disappointing they were some people had him

888
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Now they've changed up the coaching staff,

889
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: ready to start again. And you know, I'm not going

890
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: to root for the Cleveland Browns this year, but you

891
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to root for it, and I

892
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: think I'll have some answers for him. Is our buddy

893
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: Alex van Pelt. I think he'll find a way to

894
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: get Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Junior functioning and probably

895
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: at a pretty high level given the talent those two have.

896
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: I think I'm not gonna root for the Browns, but

897
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna root for Alex van Pelt, and I'm very

898
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: confident that he'll find ways to make that combination a

899
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: dangerous one. Right. Don't you think Baker Mayfield but Odell

900
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. Let me tell you this Murphy. I've been

901
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: in Alex Van Pelt is a teammate of mine, and

902
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: I've watched him coach both up in Green Bay and

903
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: then in Cincinnati and now where he's in Cleveland where

904
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: he's an offensive coordinator. Baker Mayfield is going to have

905
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: a breakout season under Alex van Pelt. He's gonna play

906
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: extremely well. He's gonna take an enormous step forward from

907
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: where he was a year ago. I'm not gonna say

908
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna take a step forward from where he was

909
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: at the second half of twenty and eighteen, but I'm

910
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: saying he's taken a big step forward from where he

911
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: was a year ago. With Alex van Pel I think

912
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: Baker is gonna love Alex van Pel. Van Pelt knows

913
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: how a quarterback. Thinks. He was a quarterback who was

914
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: successful in the NFL when he got the chance, given

915
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: limited athleticism. Sure, he used to call him pill which

916
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: was short for Pillsbury doughboy. Right, he was a He

917
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: was a He was like six one round, you know,

918
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: he moved around just good enough. But the guy's lights

919
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: are on. He knows how to play quarterback, and he

920
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: knows how to communicate to a quarterback. And I think

921
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is gonna absolutely flourish under Alex Van Peto

922
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham will as well. I think, well, I'm

923
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: gonna for the Browns, but I think they're gonna be

924
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: much much improved this year to be sure. All Right,

925
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to the man whose job is getting

926
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: gonna be on the hot seat. I guess eight dates

927
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: from now the NFL Draft, is it gonna be easier

928
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: from Brandon Bean. We'll find out. We'll ask him that

929
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: he's coming up next here on the show. Come on

930
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: back for that. One Bill's Live presented by Kalada Health

Speaker 1: Evan Baine had signed a contract with the club, according

935
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: to social media sources, being treated out a picture of

936
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: himself signing the contract. Vaine comes to the Bills. Started

937
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: eight games last season for the Miami Dolphins. Prior to that,

938
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: he played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Arizona Cardinals.

939
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,480

Speaker 1: back in two sixteen. The second free agent offensive lineman

941
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: the Bills have added this offseason, well, I'm with Carolina

942
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: Panthers lineman Darryl Williams. Doctor Anthony Fauci, the nation's top

943
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: infectious disease expert, says the only way professional sports will

944
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: happen the summer is to hold events without fans and

945
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: attendance and by keeping players in hotels. That may apply

946
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: a little bit to the NFL, which would normally start

947
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: its season the first week of September. Fauci said that

948
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: he thinks will be enough interest from fans to watch

949
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: games even if they cannot attend. Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk

950
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: Cousins remains hopeful that they'll play football games as fall

951
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: and even if they're playing an empty stadiums without fans,

952
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: Cousins says that'll be okay. The possibility of games having

953
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: an altered look and feel, he says, will not be

954
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: foreign based on the way they practice. Dallas Cowboys executive

955
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: vice president Stephen Jones says the organization has told Dak

956
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott to cool it with their joint practices.

957
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: That comes after a report of a party on Friday

958
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: at the quarterback's house that would have violating guidelines regarding

959
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: the coronavirus pandemic. Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry

960
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: signed a franchise tender. Henry will learn ten point six

961
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: million dollars on the one year deal, making him the

962
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: highest paid tight end in the National Football League. And

963
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks I've reached a one year deal to

964
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,240

966
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,000

992

993
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: like you know, holding a conference call. This is you've

00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: you know you must have more than one little iPhone

999
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: there in front of you, right, Yeah, I got I

1000

00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: we got some big ones and some someones mobile ones

1002
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: that I can move around with me. So we're ready.

1003
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: We got I'd say we got more than five, uh Steve,

1004
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: But um, we're ready for for everything. And um yeah,

1005
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: we'll have several I'm gonna have several different people on

1006
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: you know, zooms between my scouts on one, my people

1007
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: on the trade. I'm gonna have Terry and Kim and

1008
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: Sean and and so we have several different things that

1009
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: will be set up so that I can bounce around

1010
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: and make sure we can have a good communication system.

1011
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 1: How just off the off your cuff, your gut feeling.

1012
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: Do you think this is all gonna go off without

1013
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: a hitch? Um? You know, anytime you're dealing with technology, Steve,

1014
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 1: you gotta be ready for the uh, for the unknown.

1015
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: But I do really believe in what Dan Evans and

1016
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: his staff have done to help set us up. And Uh,

1017
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: there's we've got, We've created some backups, we've we've tried

1018
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: to talk through. Okay, if this happens, what's our what's

1019
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: our plan be if this happens? Uh? So I feel

1020
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: like as we sit here, you know a little more

1021
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: in a week out, I feel really good about where

1022
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 1: we're at. Again, Um, technology is great until it until

1023
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: it fails you. But I think we've got a lot

1024
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: of good checks and balances and I feel very confident

1025
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: and where we're at, we're live with Bill's GM. Brandon mean, hey, Brandon,

1026
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: don't take offense at this. This is our Twitter poll

1027
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: question today. We're asking fans what makes this year's draft

1028
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: easier for you? Is it because you don't really need

1029
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: to find a starter? Is it because you can watch

1030
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: other teams get through the first round and maybe let

1031
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: them make the technical mistakes and have the glitches or

1032
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: is the right answer. This isn't any easier. You're trying

1033
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: to build a championship roster. You want to get weigh

1034
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: in on that. What do you think I mean? I'd

1035
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: say B and C if you know I do as

1036
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: I've said, I always want a first round pick. Sometimes

1037
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: options opportunities will present themselves where you you know, you

1038
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: trade a high pick like we did for Stefan. So

1039
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: if I was going to do that, as I've said,

1040
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: a couple of times, this may be the year to

1041
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: let some of these other teams deal with any glitches

1042
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: that come up. And then you know, secondly though, I

1043
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: just I think you guys have heard me say, I'm

1044
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm never comfortable. That's not how I'm wired with our roster.

1045
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: We could be coming off of winning the super Bowl

1046
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: or something, and if we're having the same conversation, I'm

1047
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: still going to be nervous about what we got to

1048
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: get done. And there's opportunities and we've got to play

1049
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: this draft right. And the first thing to do is

1050
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: we've got to make sure we're finalizing our board. We're

1051
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: getting close, but we've got to you know, dot our

1052
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: eyes and cross our teas and make sure it's ready

1053
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: to roll, because I truly listen to this board and

1054
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: follow it and believe in what the process that our scouts,

1055
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: our coaches, everybody that's been involved in setting it, and

1056
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: then let it talk to me on what we need

1057
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: to do as far as moving up, moving down, or

1058
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: staying put. This last segment, Murph and I were talking

1059
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: about what it's like, and I had this big tirade

1060
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: about how this may keep you guys from overthinking stuff.

1061
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: You got to look at more tape. You can't send

1062
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: three guys down to look at a prospect. You all

1063
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: got to got to look at the same tape and

1064
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: talk about the same thing. Is there any kind of

1065
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: hidden blessing to this about not being able to go

1066
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: down and hash out every degree about taught looking to

1067
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: the kid in the eye and saying, Okay, what kind

1068
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: of kid is here? And what is there any positive

1069
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: to be drawn from you know, having your evaluation process,

1070
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, put having a glitch like this put into it. Yeah,

1071
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: I mean the positive is you probably most teams will

1072
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 1: rely more on the fall tape, which was how drafting

1073
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: used to be, you know, the guys playing in the fall.

1074
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: And then I think way back when they were drafted

1075
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: in January or early February or something, before you had

1076
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: the Combine and all these pro days. So it goes

1077
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: back to that. You know, really the the stop sign

1078
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: was put up right after the Combine, so it's kind

1079
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: of all your data through the h the All Star Games,

1080
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: the NFLPA, the Senior Bowl, and the Combine, and then

1081
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: we had that short little week of prow days before

1082
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: we all got pulled off. But for the most part,

1083
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: we lost those opportunities. And yeah, you can if you're

1084
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: not careful, Steve, you can definitely overthink. You can you know,

1085
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: put too much emphasis on a workout that maybe went

1086
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: really well for the player, better than than what he's

1087
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: his ability is or the other way you could have. Man,

1088
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: I really didn't think this guy, even though the fall

1089
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: tape is very good, he just struggled in the workout,

1090
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: and maybe we weighed that too much. I know that

1091
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: has happened before. You try to put it all together

1092
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: and make a you a sensible decision, But to your point,

1093
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be more based on the

1094
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: fall tape than what happened in the spring. With Brandon Bean,

1095
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 1: the Bill's general manager, a Brandon. The draft, of course,

1096
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: starts in eight days, and it's a busy weekend and

1097
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: it sort of ends with them maybe the busiest time

1098
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: of all when you're on the phone with undrafted rookies,

1099
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: guys who made it through the draft without getting picked.

1100
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: Normally it's a scramble I think in the draft room, right,

1101
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: but everybody on the phone with somebody, how are you

1102
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna work that out? And did I hear that you

1103
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: kind of endorsed Kevin Colbert's plan to maybe have an

1104
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: extra three rounds at the end to solve in a problem. Yeah.

1105
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean listen, at the end of the day. What

1106
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: I was saying about Kevin is Kevin has had a

1107
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: lot of success in this league. He might be the

1108
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: most senior member of all the general managers, and he's

1109
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: really smart. And so I haven't thought it all the

1110
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: way through all the positives and negatives to it, like anything,

1111
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: but I do understand. It's funny. Kevin mentioned it to

1112
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: me at the Clemson Pro day. He said, Hey, if

1113
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: we get shut down, that's gonna be something that I

1114
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: think we should recommend. And so I listened to him

1115
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: and he makes some valid points. So I look at

1116
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: it that I would support Kevin one hundred percent on it.

1117
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: He's got way more seniority and way more experienced than

1118
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 1: I do, and I got a lot of respect for him.

1119
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: But I did follow it up and say, I haven't

1120
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: heard any talk that that's going to happen. So I

1121
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: am playing it. I'm not playing it as if there's

1122
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 1: ten rounds. I'm playing it is if there's seven. And

1123
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: then the other question you asked John about, you know,

1124
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: the post draft stuff is it will be different. And

1125
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: usually we're working out of the draft room or down

1126
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: the hall, you know, a coach and a scout or

1127
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: paired up together and they're kind of recruiting or on

1128
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: the phone with the agent and or the player. So

1129
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some different things set up using the

1130
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: different technology, maybe Microsoft teams a little bit more for that,

1131
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: where we're gonna have some different meetings going on, and um,

1132
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: it'll allow me and me and Sean or a coordinator

1133
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: to jump in and out and recruit or jump on

1134
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: with an agent. So we've got a plan in place. Again,

1135
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: we've this one. We won't be able to test very well,

1136
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: but we're going to do our best to mock it

1137
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: the you know, the best we can and then, uh,

1138
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. Is there a greater possibility

1139
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: that maybe there is a good player that slips through

1140
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: the cracks or um? I know that. I've told young

1141
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: kids that are trying to decide on a college, it

1142
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: doesn't matter where you go to college. If you're good enough,

1143
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna find you. But then you always find out

1144
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: maybe there are some guys out there that you know,

1145
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: as rookie free agents, they turn out to be better

1146
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: than you know, thirty percent of the draft picks that

1147
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: we're in the in the draft. So is that a

1148
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 1: greater possibility this year or less? I think it's definitely

1149
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 1: a greater Uh. There's always guys every year that whatever reason,

1150
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: they had some medical ups and downs, Um, they were

1151
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: recruited by one staff and another staff came in and

1152
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 1: or they just got over you know, somebody, a really

1153
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, five star prospect came in and beat him out.

1154
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: If they were you know, one position, and maybe maybe

1155
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: they decided not to transfer. Some guys will transfer on those.

1156
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: So there's various reasons why guys fall. And so like

1157
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 1: every every year, Steve, there's gonna be guys, and so

1158
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: we'll try and target the ones that we think, hey,

1159
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: maybe he's failed this, but we think he can be

1160
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: successful because of X, Y and Z. And those are

1161
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: the conversations we have. Is all right, we got this

1162
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: guy down here, what is gonna give him success? What's

1163
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: his best at? Is he a heightweight, speed guy that

1164
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: just it hasn't translated mentally. Is he not been you know,

1165
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: has he been injured? What's what's his deal as to

1166
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: why if he becomes up in our case of Buffalo

1167
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: Bill wildly successful. You guys have been success with undrafted

1168
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: guys Levi Wallace, Robert Foster, etc. I wonder how much

1169
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: of that is advanced work. I mean, how much do

1170
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: you kind of set these guys up, you know, this

1171
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: week saying hey, maybe you'll go in the draft, but

1172
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: if you don't remember us, you could probably do a

1173
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: little bit of advanced work on then huh, yeah you do.

1174
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, every every player beliefs are gonna be drafted

1175
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: and wants to be drafted. So I don't know that

1176
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,439
Speaker 1: you approach it and say hey, I don't Hey, buddy,

1177
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna get drafted. So think about

1178
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: the bills. But I think you do have those conversations

1179
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: about your their fit in your system at whatever position.

1180
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: If you come in here, we see you compete, and

1181
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and lay out some of the things that

1182
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: their agent is going to be looking at, because those

1183
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: are sometimes the fights. The agent's looking at the depth chart,

1184
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: paying attention to what you drafted and to what's what's

1185
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: still available. If you're talking about a Levi Wallace. We

1186
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: didn't draft a corner that year, so that's a positive

1187
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: thing that we can sell if we had drafted a

1188
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: first round corner, you know, or a couple of corners

1189
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: ahead of them. You know, we did draft Tern, but

1190
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: Tern was an inside guy. We didn't draft an outside

1191
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: corner that year, to be specific. So those are some

1192
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: of the things that you can sell, especially in the moment.

1193
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: But it is good to go ahead and lay some

1194
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: groundwork prior to the draft. One of the things that

1195
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: happened this last week was the league started talking about,

1196
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, the virtual offseason that you're gonna have. What

1197
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: what is there anything you can share with us that

1198
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: um that maybe we don't know. I mean this, you

1199
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: have two hours on the in two hours of workouts

1200
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: and you can send them some equipment and what other

1201
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: but how you know what's that going to look like

1202
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: for players and coaches and all that. Yeah, so um,

1203
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: still working through the details, and there's teams are going

1204
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: to have different options. You know, it is going to

1205
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: be an option. Do you want to just do meetings

1206
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: and not not work the players out? It gets into

1207
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: a liability standpoint of what, um, you know, if you're

1208
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: working the player out and he suffers an injury, usually

1209
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: that would be an NFI if it was not at

1210
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: our facility. But if we're going to be conducting the

1211
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: workouts and putting them through things even remotely like this,

1212
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: that does come up. So those are why there will

1213
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: be options for teams to do and we're still running

1214
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: through that what our plan is. But you're definitely going

1215
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: to have four hour days like we normally. You'll be

1216
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: allowed two hours of meetings and if you choose two

1217
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: hours of workouts, And again, I think that's going to

1218
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: happen for about a three week period and the league,

1219
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: from my understanding, is playing it, you know, kind of

1220
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: a three week stretch at a time. Let's take it

1221
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: to mid May, Let's get through the draft, Let's get

1222
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: the rookies, Let's see what it looks like then and

1223
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: then making decision. Is there an opportunity to bring guys

1224
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: in later in May, or in June or at that

1225
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: point mid May, does this still look like, Hey, we're

1226
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to keep this virtual, you know, until training camp.

1227
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: So I think we'll see more down the line whether

1228
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be a totally virtual offseason or if

1229
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be half virtual. And then maybe at

1230
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: some point we get these guys in. Would you see Brandon,

1231
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: would you see like your strength and conditioning coaches? Would

1232
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: they do customized videos for each players or maybe for

1233
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: each position groups saying here's what we'd like you to

1234
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: work on. Is that I would work? Yeah? I mean

1235
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of different things you can do.

1236
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: You can without giving up strategy. We do have a

1237
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: plan without giving up strategy. Um, some of the things

1238
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: that you could do or you could post videos of

1239
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: these are some things we'd like the linemen to do today.

1240
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: These are some things we like or you could have

1241
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, we have a staff, you know, of four

1242
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: strength and conditioning guys, and we could split them up

1243
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: and teach some different you know, have them on with

1244
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: them for part of the time. I don't know if

1245
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to have them on the old time.

1246
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, every with every player, but and also you know,

1247
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: the one of the things you have is the times

1248
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: on difference. You know, if I'm starting at nine am

1249
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: in Florida and you're in California, that's six so um,

1250
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, working those around people's parameters. And maybe I

1251
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: have access to a field that I can run grass,

1252
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: but I can only do it during this time of day.

1253
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: That They'll depend on what's going on in my area,

1254
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: what they've allowed some of these parks, And obviously gyms

1255
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: are now closed, so finding free open you know, terrain

1256
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: to to run on or do whatever. Some guys have

1257
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: had more success than that. So those are all the

1258
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: obstacles that we're dealing with. And it changes daily, you know.

1259
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: I know some guys we've we've talked to or you know,

1260
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: our strength staff has talked to and they had a

1261
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: good setup and then now that's that's changed, so they've

1262
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: had to go to plan B. I gotta ask you this,

1263
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,959
Speaker 1: eight days or seven days or whatever it is away

1264
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: from the draft, eight days, I guess your your first

1265
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: picks fifty four, you got eighty six, you got one,

1266
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight, got one, sixty seventy. You know, all these

1267
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: picks coming up. How likely is it that the Buffalo

1268
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: Bills pick exactly in those slots? Have you thought about

1269
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: what it would take or the parameters or the or

1270
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: the conditions that would take for you to move in

1271
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: up and around and sideways and all that. Yeah, so

1272
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I've looked at at Friday. You know, I don't anticipate

1273
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: us at all trying to get up in the first round.

1274
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: That's that's not something we're even contemplating right now. But um, yes,

1275
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I've looked at Friday what we could do going up

1276
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: the spots. You know that it would cost us a

1277
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, the spots that would cost us a

1278
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, and then also some teams with multiple

1279
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: picks that maybe teams that have been aggressive or may

1280
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: want to be aggressive if they think there's gonna be

1281
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: a run on this position. I'll have a better idea

1282
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: after I see what goes in round one. But yes,

1283
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: I've already looked at teams with if we want to

1284
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 1: go the other way from fifty four and go south

1285
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: and pick up another pick, so we'll be ready again.

1286
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: I think it'll I'll have a lot more clarity after

1287
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: day one because we all know the quarterbacks that are

1288
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna go, and the and the tackles that are going

1289
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: to go. I can tell you probably twenty of the

1290
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: thirty two first round picks, and then there's another twenty

1291
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: that can go probably in those last twelve spots wherever

1292
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: they go. So I have an idea, you know, I

1293
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: put again, I put together some names of about twenty

1294
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: four twenty five guys that I felt pretty confident we're going,

1295
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: if not in top thirty two, in the top thirty

1296
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: five to thirty six. And so then you're looking at all, right,

1297
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 1: if I got about eighteen to twenty spots left before

1298
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: our pick, what would be on the board. That's kind

1299
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: of how I've looked at it at this point. Still

1300
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: a week out live with Bills, gentleman, at your Brandon

1301
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: being uh the signing reported signing of Evan Bain to

1302
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: a contract by the Bills. What can you tell us

1303
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: about Evan Bain, my Brandon? What do you think him? Yeah?

1304
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: So he was a fourth round draft pick us. He's

1305
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: got flexibility and you know that's that's big for us.

1306
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: He's a smart player. Bobby Johnson was around him in

1307
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Indianapolish spoke very highly of him. So you know how

1308
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: we really enjoy if we've had some experience with a

1309
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: player and know what we're gonna get. He's he's a

1310
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: he's our kind of guy. He's a leader, good DNA

1311
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: M smart, tough, dependable, and he'll come in it and

1312
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: he'll provide uh, you know, center guard flex. And again

1313
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: we tried to sign as many guys Daryl Williams, who

1314
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: was more of a guard tackle flex. Uh, those just

1315
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: give us more options on game day, you know. And

1316
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: you talk about Darryl Tims and now Evan Beam and

1317
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: even guys like Spencer Long. You guys, I've read somebody

1318
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: said this, and I think it's true. You the Bills

1319
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: at this point preseason, you might not have the most talented,

1320
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: highly regarded offensive minding, but I can't imagine anybody has

1321
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: an offensive mind which is as much versatility and as

1322
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: much NFL experience as the Buffalo Bills right now. Yeah,

1323
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: I think it's important because we cannot evaluate. You know,

1324
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: this is something I learned a while back. You know,

1325
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your first team goes out in

1326
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: the preseason and they play and you can evaluate guys.

1327
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Second team goes out and it's starting to get a

1328
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: little shaky, maybe the line player, and then you got

1329
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: the third and the quarterback can't even get back there

1330
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: and execute or they're meeting the running back in the backfield.

1331
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: And so I've always find it found it very important

1332
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: that you'd love to be three deep. Now that's hard

1333
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: to do, but you want to be able to execute

1334
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: with that second and third team because otherwise, I can't

1335
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: evaluate the tight ends, the running backs, the quarterback, and

1336
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: the receivers if we can't stop the other team from

1337
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: penetrating and blowing stuff up. And so I think it's

1338
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 1: very important. Yeah, we probably nobody's going to grade us

1339
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: with five pro toolers across the front, but um, I

1340
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: think we've got depth, and I think we've got competition,

1341
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be uh should we stay healthy. I

1342
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be some good battles in there. You know,

1343
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: of those nine or ten linemen that we do keep

1344
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: on the final fifty three, well, I know that this

1345
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: is an incredibly busy time for it. It's all and

1346
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: it's all complicated by the fact that we're all sequestered

1347
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: from each other in socially distanced But you got a

1348
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of stuff on your plate as GM. You got

1349
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: Matt Milano tradevious, Why Dion Dawkins, all these guys kind

1350
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 1: of sitting around. Uh, probably in line for extensions, no question.

1351
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: What's the timeframe maybe on each one of those guys.

1352
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: And have you had to contact with them? Yeah? I mean, um,

1353
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: like anything. Um, you know, Matt and Dion or they

1354
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: have the same representatives, so that's what one call one

1355
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: stop shop. UM. But yeah, I definitely have been in contact.

1356
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: You know, I don't really like to get into negotiations

1357
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: too much, but I've definitely been in contact with their representatives,

1358
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: given them timelines of when we would look at things

1359
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 1: like that. You know right now, you know, our main

1360
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: focus was getting through free agency. Uh, and then I

1361
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: was planning to be on the road, which that got um,

1362
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, jettison with with the COVID nineteen stuff. So

1363
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: really just been focused on the draft. I think that

1364
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: would be conversations if you look at our history. I've

1365
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: generally done most of those guys. We did do Jordan

1366
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: before that, um, you know, before we hit free agency.

1367
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: But beyond that. Most of the guys I've done from

1368
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes, Eric Wood, Housegun and some of those guys

1369
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: we've we've done more in the spring summertime frame. Your

1370
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: draft board all set for next week. How much more

1371
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: work you after you put your draft board together? We

1372
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: still have some more work where you know, I've I've

1373
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: met with our medical people. We have some sports psyche stuff,

1374
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: UM that we're going through just some of the various Um,

1375
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: what what makes up the DNA, What's what's behind the scenes,

1376
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: behind the curtains that we don't know about this player?

1377
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: Just trying to figure out what makes them tick? And

1378
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: and I'm still doing some zoom calls with some players.

1379
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: I got some lined up to say afternoon, Joe, Shane

1380
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: and I do would get on just some of the

1381
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: guys that we would have liked to have brought in

1382
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: for potential thirty visits to uh this still unanswered questions

1383
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: I want to get you know, what makes John Murphy tick?

1384
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: What do you know? What do you what excites you

1385
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: about football? What's your other interests? Those kind of things,

1386
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: just me getting a fiel them, getting a feel any

1387
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: questions I can answer for them about the Buffalo bills

1388
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: or a certain position and how they would fit on

1389
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,560
Speaker 1: our team. Uh, should we select them? So going through that,

1390
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: and then the last thing that I do, uh is

1391
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,639
Speaker 1: the horizontal and I kind of look at we stack

1392
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: these guys vertically by position. But then I kind of

1393
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: look at all, right, I'm in the third round and

1394
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: I've got you know, this tight end here, and I've

1395
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: got this defensive back and maybe a defensive end. They're

1396
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: all rated in the you know, a high third. Do

1397
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: I agree with that? Is that kind of all? Or?

1398
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Or should this one? Definitely if I was on the clock,

1399
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: this one would definitely be just kind of working our

1400
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: way through the first round, the sack around the third round.

1401
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes you'll find a guy You'll go, Man, the more

1402
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: we talk about it, um, I wouldn't take him over

1403
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: any of these guys. And I drop him down and

1404
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: I still wouldn't take him over these guys. So just

1405
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 1: to checks and balances, one last look see um. But

1406
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 1: we'll we'll wrap the board up by this weekend and

1407
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: then Monday we'll do our mocks and and maybe a

1408
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 1: little bit Tuesday. And as we approached this preseason, one

1409
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: of the things that kind of gets forgotten in all

1410
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:26,560
Speaker 1: of this. So you've got some guys that you know,

1411
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to finish the season even started.

1412
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips, how's his rehab going? How much can you

1413
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: keep in contact with guys who have ongoing issues from

1414
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: last season? Yeah? So, Uh, Nate Breski and his staff

1415
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: have done a great job. They've divided up the guys

1416
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: that had postseason surgeries or in Harrison's you know instance,

1417
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:48,839
Speaker 1: that didn't didn't finish the season and are still rehabbing.

1418
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: So um, you know, I know, Harrison's done a great job.

1419
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: He's he's send some videos and things to the guys

1420

1421
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 1: on similar what we were talking about with the how

1431
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 1: work these guys the best we can with the circumstances.

1432
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: And look at video of what they look like again,

1433

1454
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: between seventy and seventy five thousand. We've only got till

1455
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: till Friday, so we're running out of time. So anyone

1456
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: that's that's still willing again, um, no matter the amount. Obviously,

1457
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,640
Speaker 1: the more you can do, the better. But I know

1458
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,560
Speaker 1: people are in different economic situations right now, so I

1459
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: don't want anybody to do something they're uncomfortable with. But again,

1460
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: some good some good opportunities, and I look forward to

1461
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,679
Speaker 1: to meeting these these people that have won these prizes.

1462
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: What do you think of your seven of the seven

1463
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: experiences or prizes that are out there for a random drawing,

1464
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: which one that's got the most interest? Can you tell?

1465
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: At this early juncture, You know, I don't know. I

1466
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be more. You know, some people aren't

1467
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: gonna care what about having a lunch with Brandon being

1468
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: They just rather go to the game or get a

1469
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen jersey. But then you got some people that

1470
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: want to I'm gonna assume that want to know the

1471
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 1: ins and outs and would you know withou a joy

1472
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 1: sitting down, you know, with a gm uh, they probably

1473
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: would choose some other gems over me. But anyway, a

1474
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: GM to to at least in name he's a gm

1475
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 1: UH to sit down and ask some questions, maybe about

1476
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 1: the draft or uh, you know, how we do free

1477
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: agency or what my schedules like, those are some of

1478
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,560
Speaker 1: the questions I'll get. Uh, you know, what do you

1479
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: do in season versus the off season? And U there

1480
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: is no off season, as you know, but um, you know,

1481
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: I think that's good that we have a variety of

1482
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: prizes from you know, assigned helmet or tickets to a

1483
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: game versus spend a little bit of time with me

1484
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: at a practice or or or post zoom call or

1485
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 1: post draft call and zoom. So I know you're trapped

1486
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 1: at home just like the rest of us. Which one

1487
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: of these you know, these contests winners. I know you've

1488
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 1: talked to your boys about this, yere, which one do

1489
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: they want? If they had their choice? They don't definitely

1490
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: be anything, and yeah, they've had enough lunch is with me. Uh,

1491
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: they don't want let's see, they would take probably the

1492
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen jersey or the signed helmet. Uh they've got

1493
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: tickets to the game and uh so they know they're

1494
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: covered there and they definitely don't want to hang out

1495
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 1: with their dads. So they're too cool for that. The

1496

1498
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: It ends on Friday. W n Y response. Western New

1499
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: York responds dot org. A Brandon, last thing I have,

1500
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's everything so different now, but

1501
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 1: just your attitude today strikes me that I'm not saying

1502
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: you're enjoying this, but this is a brand new set

1503
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: of challenges for you were getting ready for a draft

1504
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: like this isn't it? Yeah? You know what, for every challenge,

1505
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity to prove that that you can handle it.

1506
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: And it's a challenge for all thirty two teams. No, quite,

1507
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 1: it's a different challenge. It's it's not undoable, it's not

1508
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: something that no team can handle. Um, but it's our

1509
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: approach has to be with anything from Sean and his

1510
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: coaches to me and my personnel staff. Our approach is

1511
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 1: to nail this draft and to make the most of it.

1512
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: And I hope some teams do make some mistakes and

1513
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: some players fall that maybe wouldn't have otherwise. That's what

1514
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. But we can't let that happen from

1515
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,720
Speaker 1: our end. So we're excited as a staff. We're we're

1516
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: excited about where we're out in the process, and we're

1517
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: confident that we're gonna get some some good players to

1518
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 1: add to either depth competition or win a starting job.

1519
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Brandon's been great talking to you. We're all pulling

1520
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: for you. Good luck in the draft. Will be watching now.

1521
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys. Hey, Steve, are you gonna write

1522
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: a check for to give us to that seventy five thousand?

1523
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: What about what about a venmo for about a couple

1524
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: of bucks, you know? Or the checks in the mail?

1525
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: Or should I just say the checks in the mail

1526
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: or something like that. Hey, I caught your wife, I

1527
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: went now right. I appreciate you guys, y'all. Thanks Brandon

1528
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 1: being Bill's general manager on the lane with us from

1529
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 1: White where he's going to be doing the draft right

1530
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 1: in the Bill's draft war room. That's pretty cool. Steve.

1531
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: How we don't often get a look at that he's got.

1532
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: It looks like wallpaper. I'm sure it's a background. I

1533
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: think he's gonna install that permanently in his background, don't you.

1534
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna have Bill's wallpaper there, and his wife will

1535
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: never enter that room again. Yeah, I'm going to get

1536
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 1: some of that kind above the mantle. And we thank

1537
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean for joining us. We'll take a break and

1538
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: we're coming back. One Bill's Live, Princenta back Alata Health

Speaker 1: Radio only today. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. We're back

1540
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Castor It's One Bill's Live Radio Only today.

1541
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 1: Just got up foam with Brandon being he was great

1542
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: on the show. He always sees Steve too well. I

1543
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: have more than two things, but I take this away

1544
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: right away. He basically said, we're out of the first round.

1545
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: I think he likes me now the first round. But Steve,

1546
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: I will put let me see, I don't have any

1547
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: money in my pocket. If I had ten dollars, I

1548
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: would put it right up on the screen here and

1549
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 1: tell you they are moving up on Friday. And he

1550
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: told you basically, if you can read between the lines,

1551
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 1: if you can read the team leads. He told you

1552
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,640
Speaker 1: thirty five thirty six, somewhere in that range, you know,

1553
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: so they'd have to move up from fifty four. He's

1554
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,600
Speaker 1: done the calculation and determined what it would cost. And

1555
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be so aunty after watching the

1556
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: entire first round go without the Bills doing anything Thursday,

1557
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be itching to make a trade on Friday.

1558
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: He has been one of those guy gms who he

1559
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: moves around. He not shy about it, and he loved

1560
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 1: this is this is his you know, this is his

1561
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, playoff game, and he loves doing this and

1562
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: he's good at it. He trades players and picks a ton.

1563
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: He's done a ton in the last two and a

1564
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: half years that he's been here, and I would anticipate

1565
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the same. You're right, he said, no

1566
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: first round. No, I don't like what it will cost

1567
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 1: is to get up into the first round. But like

1568
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: you said, moving up like what was it, somewhere like

1569
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: eighteen slots or so, up into the thirties, high thirties,

1570
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: mid low forties. Uh yeah, I said, thirty five thirty six,

1571
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: So you need to go that's at four to thirty five.

1572
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: That's a lot of capital. That's a lot of draft

1573
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 1: capital because only you know the picks they've got really

1574
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: in the in some of the draft valuation charts where

1575
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 1: each pick is worth a certain value. If they gave

1576
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,759
Speaker 1: up the whole draft, uh, it would take him moving

1577
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: from fifty four all the way up to forty. That

1578
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: would be all the picks they have in their in

1579
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 1: the drafts. Let me go go back and check check

1580
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: in the next break. I remember, I remember looking at

1581
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 1: that last week. It was second and third round. Give

1582
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: that up and you get from fifty four to forty.

1583
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 1: They'll have to give up more to get the thirty five,

1584
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: but I think Brandon being was their third their their

1585
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 1: second and third round pick, would get him up to forty.

1586
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: Maybe something like yeah, they didn't have to give up something. Yeah, yeah,

1587
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take the whole draft to move up fourteen spots.

1588
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 1: To move up nineteen spots to thirty five, it'll take

1589
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,719
Speaker 1: a little more. But look, as I said, he's gonna

1590
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: be antsy Um, there's going to be a player out

1591
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: there that they really like, and they've they've done all

1592
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: the research they can do and he's talked about. Friday

1593
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: is the key day for the Bills. By the way,

1594
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: Friday night of Draft weekend, this show will be live

1595
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,839
Speaker 1: starting at seven o'clock. We got a show on obviously

1596
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: during the day to recapt what went on in the

1597
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: first round. Pretty clear from listening to Brandon being the

1598
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Bills won't be busy on Thursday, but Friday will be

1599
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: the day. And it sounds again I'm just guessing based

1600
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: on what Brandon Bean has said. He sounds like he's

1601
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,560
Speaker 1: eager to get up to somewhere between thirty two and

1602
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 1: thirty five in that second round. Thirty two overall to

1603
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: thirty five, and it would take I haven't don't I

1604
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 1: have the chart buried in my mountain of research over here,

1605
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: but I'll look at it. What it would take to

1606
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 1: get up that far? Yeah, I want from from the

1607
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: from draft from like say, for what is this, I'm

1608
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: a draft and Pro football reference. The second and third

1609
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: pick would add up to about five hundred and ten

1610
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: points and that would get him up to thirty nine. Yeah,

1611
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: up to the Miami Dolphins second round pick. Well, on

1612
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: your chart there that you have in front of you,

1613
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't mind in front of you what would it

1614
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: take to take it up to thirty five? Can you

1615
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: do that? Man? It would it would take yeah, and

1616
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: let's see, it would be their next pick would be

1617
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: one twenty eight, which is worth um, an astounding forty

1618
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: four picks, forty four points. That's not gonna do it

1619
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: for him to move up to thirty what'd you say?

1620
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: Thirty one? Thirty five was what Brandon said, You know, Yeah,

1621
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: that would get it to him. That would get it,

1622
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 1: That would get him. Give up flew seconds with somebody

1623
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 1: and give them your third would get him to thirty five.

1624
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: That would get him almost to the word of the

1625
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions on thirty fifty if they gave up their

1626
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: first three draft picks, all right, second, third, and fourth

1627
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,560
Speaker 1: round and and again, um, we'll see. And this is

1628
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: a speculation. I just don't Brandon sounds like you knowing

1629
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: him a little bit. I think he's gonna be ready

1630
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: to move. He's gonna be ready to move on Friday.

1631
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 1: And it won't start Friday night, you know, in the draft.

1632
01:19:57,680 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: It'll be something that is there'll be a couple of

1633
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: in place when the draft starts Friday nine at seven,

1634
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: and they will execute one of them. I just feel

1635
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 1: that way. I'm just maybe I'm crazy. The other thing

1636
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: Brandon being talked about was Evan Bayman, and it really

1637
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: it hits me, and he talked about it. Look, Evan

1638
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: bain was not a Pro Bowl player, nor was the

1639
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 1: offensive lineman they signed Darrel Williams a couple of weeks

1640
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: ago Pro Bowl type caliber player. But what they are

1641
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: is guys with the NFL experience, guys who played in

1642
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 1: the league obviously NFL experience, and guys that give them

1643
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: a good nucleus on the offensive line. I mean, look

1644
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 1: who they have. I'm not saying this is a Pro

1645
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: Bowl offensive line, but Dawkins, Spain, More's Feliciano Ford behind them,

1646
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: and Secy, Darryl Williams, Evan Bain, now John Feliciano, Spencer Long.

1647
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean those that's one, two, three, four, five, nine

1648
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: guys who played considerably in the NFL so far. That's

1649
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 1: kind of impressive. Steve, Yeah, absolutely, And they've got a

1650
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: lot a ton of experience. And I think those guys too,

1651
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that gets lost in

1652
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 1: this you think, well, this guy's got some experience, this

1653
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:02,799
Speaker 1: guy's play a little bit as opposed to rookie free agents,

1654
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: all those guys that you're talking about, and to me,

1655
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: it's about being able to compete and knowing what it

1656
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:14,759
Speaker 1: takes to be a pro. You get into a training

1657
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: camp where there's roster spots on the line, and those

1658
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: guys are gonna really up their game because they know

1659
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a hard roster to make. It's

1660
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna really bring out the best and the guys that

1661
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,560
Speaker 1: actually get on the field. And plus the flexibility that

1662
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: you mentioned Murth, you got a couple of guys that

1663
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,720
Speaker 1: can play guard, tackle, two or three guys that can

1664
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: play guard, center, man oh Man. That gives them a

1665
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: lot of permutations. And it's always we always say this

1666
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 1: during training camp, then you kind of forget about it

1667
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 1: through the regular season. But the best five guys play

1668
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 1: the best five, not the best left tackle and the

1669
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 1: other guys. It's the best five and sometimes it's not

1670
01:21:56,560 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: the expected five guys because for whatever reason, and I

1671
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: think these Versattle guys they're bringing in really gives this

1672
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: an opportunity to revamp the offensive line again. And don't

1673
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 1: think that's lost on the offensive lineman that they've signed.

1674
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: They know that it's the best five guys and if

1675
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: they can fit in either at one of the spots

1676
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 1: they play, either tackle or guard, either guard or center,

1677
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: either guard right or left right, or they're gonna really

1678
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 1: feel like they got a chance to make this team.

1679
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 1: And you can see this offensive line, even with the

1680
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: same five guys on the roster who started and played

1681
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: a lot last year, you may have two or three

1682
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: different guys starting at different spots than you saw a

1683
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,599
Speaker 1: week sixteen last year. We said flexible yea. Evan Baym

1684
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: on his Twitter feed last night said so pumped for

1685
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: this next coming season, heading the Buffalo to be a

1686
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 1: part of a great team and a great organization. Can't

1687
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: wait to get up there and get to work. He also,

1688
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:54,560
Speaker 1: I was reading about him. He played at Missouri a

1689
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: couple of years, a year or two behind Mitch Morse

1690
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 1: and what they called Mitch Morris the father o their

1691
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 1: offensive line for the Missouri Tigers. So he has a

1692
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: little bit of knowledge of what it's like up here,

1693
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 1: what the culture is up here, what they're trying to

1694
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: build up here. Again, it's a it's an offensive line

1695
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't have an eat well, there's no Pro Bowl

1696
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:16,600
Speaker 1: performers yet on that offensive line, there's no superstars, but

1697
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: nine of them have NFL considerable NFL experience, and at

1698
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: least I'm gonna let me do the math here, one, two, three, four,

1699
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 1: like five of them have versatility, can play a couple

1700
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: different spots. I think they're gonna be good. The other

1701
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: thing about Brandon being and this is the last and look,

1702
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 1: I asked this at the end, but just his attitude

1703
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 1: about it, and it's all different now we know that,

1704
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 1: and the draft might not be perfect and the Bills

1705
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 1: will make mistakes, hopefully not as many of his other teams,

1706
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 1: and Brandon gets that. But I really got a sense

1707
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: of how challenged he is by the way the draft

1708
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: is being set up this year and where you know,

1709
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: he's on the skype with us from his home, from

1710
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: his office at home. But I get the sense that

1711
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 1: he's challenged by it, and he's sort of rising to

1712
01:23:59,920 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: the challenge. He's not, oh, poor Rossloger, we have to

1713
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: go through. I don't have the video wall here, I

1714
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: don't have this, I don't have that. No, he's challenged

1715
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 1: by it. And I think that's a good approach to

1716
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: the draft now eight days away, that Brandon being and

1717
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure his whole group, the whole the whole personel

1718
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: department is like, Okay, we can make this work. Let's go,

1719
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: let's go get it. I think that was a good

1720
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 1: attitude for Brandon to half. Yeah, I think it's even

1721
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: better than that. I don't it's a challenge certainly. I

1722
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: think he says, hey, we can do it better than

1723
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: anybody else. You know. He feels like they can get

1724
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: maybe a competitive advantage because they've got a plan, they've

1725
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: got backups. I mean, I think they really feel like

1726
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: this is a place where they can do it better

1727
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: with fewer picks than other teams with more picks have.

1728
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of the attitude I since

1729
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 1: coming out of the room, like, hey, we may not

1730
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: have a first round pick, but watch us, we're gonna

1731
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: you know. I think it's a lot of fun to

1732
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: think about. And you're right, the NFL is played by

1733
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of really competitive guys on the field, but

1734
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: that competitive street goes through that front office, through the scouts,

1735
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 1: through the coaching staff, certainly through the GMS. All those

1736
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: guys are competitive, and their competition sometimes takes place outside

1737
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: the lines. And that's where Brandon Bean is really licking

1738
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 1: his chops this year for a chance to get a edge.

1739
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 1: It's fun to think about. Yeah, he's not feeling sorry

1740
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 1: for himself that you know, they're out of the office

1741
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:21,800
Speaker 1: and they haven't had a normal offseason yet, right, he's

1742
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 1: kind of risen to the occasion. I think released so far.

1743
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: Their game, their big game, their super Bowl is next Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

1744
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. All right, We'll take a break.

1745
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: We'll come back with more. One Goes Live presented by

1746
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 1: Klatta Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back, One

1747
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: Goes Live, John Murphy, Steve Tasker. We've got Dane Burglar

1748
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: on coming up after the top of the hour. We

1749
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: are going to get deep into the draft with Dane Burglar, Steve,

1750
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 1: maybe a little deeper than you and I are accustomed to.

1751
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: So put on your little uh, your little weight things

1752
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: on your Yeah, he's I'm thinking I'm gonna I'm gonna

1753
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: tell Dane. I mean he's a little bit around the bend.

1754
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: For he did a seven round mocked and I'm laughing

1755
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 1: because it's laughable to think you're gonna be in the

1756
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 1: ballpark with some of the picks, right, I mean, it's

1757
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 1: and listen and one of the things that will happen

1758
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: is they'll be a trade in the top ten of

1759
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: the draft, and everything's everything, nothing's right from there on.

1760
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:21,639
Speaker 1: At right seven round draft is gone. So um, it's crazy.

1761
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,679
Speaker 1: But he's got it and he's got the Bills. Actually

1762
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: we'll say this last pick two thirty nine for the Bills,

1763
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:31,640
Speaker 1: he's got them taken. Michael Turk, a punter out of

1764
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: Arizona State. All right, yeah, yeah, And I punched his

1765
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: name into one of the drafting They don't they don't

1766
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,759
Speaker 1: scout putters. There's no met there's no bio on Michael

1767
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 1: Turk on the draft side. You got one there? Can

1768
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: I tell you something? And you think you guys laughing

1769
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: at me? But our lads, I think I came across

1770
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 1: this last night. Michael Turk here it is from Arizona

1771
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 1: State junior entry. Um, nephew of former NFL punter Met Turk.

1772
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 1: That's why I caught my eye. I actually looked at

1773
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:03,599
Speaker 1: my our Lads guide for about an hour last night

1774
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 1: after my internet went out, before I started watching your

1775
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 1: further around the bend. Well, there's only one, two, three

1776
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: punters draftable punters according to our lads, and he's one

1777
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: of them, only one draftable place kicker. Yeah, I knew

1778
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,640
Speaker 1: when I saw his name, Mike Turk. I knew that

1779
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: he was probably a a nephew or son of Matt Turk.

1780
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 1: And I know too that Dan Turk is probably his uncle,

1781
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: was a former long snapper who passed away years ago.

1782
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's a name I know really well.

1783
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: You know what names I did not find in there,

1784
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 1: and I was looking hard for him. A guy we

1785
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: had on the show, is that Edwards, Ernie Edwards from Rochester,

1786
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: the wide receiver University of Maine. Yeah, not even rated

1787
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 1: in here. You can't find his name. There have been,

1788
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: you know. I guess we knew all along he would

1789
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 1: be a late round draft pick perhaps, And no he's

1790
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 1: not in here. I'm looking again, but more like the

1791
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: a you know, an undrafted free agent Ernest Edwards, five

1792
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 1: ten senior from Rochester Recquinas Institute, a very productive college

1793
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 1: player at University of Maine, but not in our lads guide. Um,

1794
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:14,839
Speaker 1: and there was one university and Buffalo player offensive lineman.

1795
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 1: Let me find that for you. I spent a little

1796
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 1: time with our lads last night. M Evan ki Kizarz. Kizarza,

1797
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:28,679
Speaker 1: tough name to read, is listed as an offensive tackle

1798
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:32,719
Speaker 1: prospect but not draftable. Okay, you know which means, of course,

1799
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 1: he's draftable but not likely to be drafted anyway. Right.

1800
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:38,600
Speaker 1: Our Twitter pole today deals with the draft, and we

1801
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: just got off the phone a bit ago with um

1802
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: Bill ZM Brandon Bean. Do you think this draft is easier?

1803
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is. What makes this year's

1804
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: NFL draft easier? From Brandon Bean, Seventy two percent of

1805
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 1: you say it's because, well, seventy two percent of you say, hey, idiots,

1806
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 1: I think you're referring to me. It's not easier. They're

1807
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: trying to build a championship roster, snap out of it.

1808
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Seventy two percent of you say that, nineteen percent say

1809
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 1: no need for a starter makes it easier for Brandon Bean,

1810
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 1: and nine percent say they can avoid possible glitches in

1811
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: the first round. They can let everybody else have their

1812
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: technical screwups. Brandon, interestingly enough, said it was a B

1813
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 1: and C said A we can avoid problems that might

1814
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 1: crop up in the first round. But see, it's not easier.

1815
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 1: We're trying to build a roster. On the tweet sheet

1816
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official moves

1817
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo Bills, Rob says it might be less

1818
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,799
Speaker 1: pressure this year with no first round pick, but not easier.

1819
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: I'll go along with that. See, maybe not easier, but

1820
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,719
Speaker 1: certainly less pressure, right. Yeah, I think if you don't

1821
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,680
Speaker 1: get as many contributors out of this draft as you

1822
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:43,120
Speaker 1: would normally or as we're used to seeing it, there's

1823
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 1: a number of built in excuses. One, you didn't have

1824
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: a first rounder. Two it's harder roster to make. So

1825
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: those two things right away will tell you that, yeah,

1826
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: they didn't get a contributor, because you know, it's harder

1827
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:57,680
Speaker 1: for a young kid to come in and contribute to

1828
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 1: an NFL football team who's already set in their roster.

1829
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 1: So I get it. The pressure may not be there,

1830
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 1: but it certainly isn't easy finding guys who maybe can contribute.

1831
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it seems obvious, you know. Yep.

1832
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 1: Here's one from Bills fan three sixty five answer to

1833
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,080
Speaker 1: our question. He says, the answer is obviously a no

1834
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 1: need for a starter. We have a solid starting roster.

1835
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: All this team needs now is to solidify depth, and

1836
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 1: we may have already done that with free agency. This draft,

1837
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:29,760
Speaker 1: I think we can afford to take a shot at

1838
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 1: a project player or two things you're gonna get fun

1839
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:35,679
Speaker 1: project player or two things you're gonna get fun. Go Bills.

1840
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 1: This draft, Steve, I think is set up for the

1841
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Bill to draft, really draft. Everybody talks about it, but

1842
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,680
Speaker 1: really draft the best player available. Right Yeah, I think

1843
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: so certainly there and he kind of walked us through

1844
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: his process of getting ready to do that. But he

1845
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,439
Speaker 1: also said he goes if if you know, you get

1846
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:57,639
Speaker 1: down to the second or third round where the Bills

1847
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,839
Speaker 1: are going to begin drafting, they're gonna have different positions

1848
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:03,160
Speaker 1: up there were the guys they've got rated. They break

1849
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 1: it down by position, you know, all the tight ends,

1850
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 1: all the guards, all the wide receivers, all the running backs,

1851
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 1: and all the linebackers. They got them by position, and

1852
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 1: then they rate them against each other. Yeah, he talked

1853
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 1: about this. Yeah, Yeah, I'd like to see that because, yeah,

1854
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 1: I have a concept of what that is and how

1855
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 1: it works and what it looks like, but I think

1856
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: I would need to see that because that kind of

1857
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 1: board is exactly where you get into the situation where

1858
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, for the Buffalo Bills, they're gonna draft you know,

1859
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:36,320
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle, or they're gonna draft a safety, you

1860
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:37,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They've got a kid on the

1861
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 1: board that's so much better than the other guys that

1862
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 1: are available on their board. And even even though they've

1863
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 1: got Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer, they're gonna think, you know,

1864
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 1: this guy's just so much better. He's gonna he's got

1865
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:53,840
Speaker 1: a chance to at least contribute, right, yeah, you know,

1866
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 1: and nobody and not everybody can do that, so that

1867
01:31:57,200 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 1: gives him a chance. That's why you see teams like

1868
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 1: the Bills draft guys are saying, whoaing, He's not gonna play,

1869
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yep, he can't break into

1870
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:07,639
Speaker 1: the roster, but he's such a good player they can't

1871
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 1: afford not to take him. And if then if there's

1872
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:14,680
Speaker 1: a bus crash and one of your real stars gets hurt, um,

1873
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:16,880
Speaker 1: then you got a guy that can really go. Yep,

1874
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 1: I would like to see that horizontal board. I think

1875
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,080
Speaker 1: that'll be fun. All Right, we're gonna take a break.

1876
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 1: Dame Brugler is gonna join us draft analists for the

1877
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 1: Athletic dot Com, Damee Brugler, when we come back, come

1878
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 1: on back court. It's One Bill's Life, presented by Kalaida

1879
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 1: Health from our home. Steve's at home and I'm at home.

1880
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,599
Speaker 1: We're not doing the show at SENATEA Studios. We will someday.

1881
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 1: I truly believe we will get back to Senates Seneca

1882
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 1: Studios someday, but not today. This is Buffalo Bills Ready.

1883
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 1: Happy to have Dane Burgler on the line with us. Hello, Dane,

1884
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:53,880
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker up hurt in Buffalo. Thanks

1885
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:56,720
Speaker 1: coming up. Oh, thanks for having me. Good afternoon, guys,

1886
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. The Beast is loose, right The twenty twenty

1887
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 1: NFL Draft Guide The Beast. Why do you call it

1888
01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 1: the Beast day? Uh? You know, honestly, a fan called

1889
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:08,760
Speaker 1: it that and it just kind of stuck. Uh. You know,

1890
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 1: I didn't call it that myself, so they started calling

1891
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 1: it and it stuck because I think just the sheer

1892
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 1: volume of players in the guide. There's over four hundred reports,

1893
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: over a thousand players rank, there's over two hundred and

1894
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 1: fifty thousand words, which uh, and I'll be honest with you,

1895
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't I don't try to make it worthy. I

1896
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 1: try to be as concise as possible. It's just, uh,

1897
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's just kind of how it played out.

1898
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: And you know, my goal with the with the guide

1899
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 1: is that if you don't know anything about a player,

1900
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: after reading my guide and his report, you'll know exactly

1901
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,080
Speaker 1: everything you need to talk about him, not just the analysis,

1902
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 1: but the background and everything he's been through. So uh,

1903
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 1: it's free for Athletic subscribers. So if you have your

1904
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 1: subscription to the Athletic, you get your your your draft guide.

1905
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:52,800
Speaker 1: So hopefully people check it out. That's good. You know,

1906
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 1: why do you have an Athletic dot com subscription? That's

1907
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 1: good to know. Yeah, we gotta send off for that.

1908
01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:59,200
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you too. And you've done this before,

1909
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:00,760
Speaker 1: you know a number of years. I don't know how

1910
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:02,519
Speaker 1: many years you've done the Beast, but I got to

1911
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:05,080
Speaker 1: ask you, do you get a sense of a personality

1912
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 1: of specific draft? Why is this draft special? What we'll

1913
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,800
Speaker 1: be remembered about this draft as we go ahead into

1914
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 1: history before we get into the nitty gritty of who's

1915
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 1: who and who's gonna go where? What about this draft class? Well, obviously,

1916
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:21,680
Speaker 1: this draft as a whole has a different feel to

1917
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,719
Speaker 1: it with everything going on around the country, and it's

1918
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 1: really interesting because there's no other sports going on. It's

1919
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:31,880
Speaker 1: the only thing in town and you know, so it

1920
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:34,640
Speaker 1: just has a little more gravitas to it and it

1921
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:36,920
Speaker 1: makes it a lot more fun. You know, it's the

1922
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 1: draft always a spectacle, and even more so this year

1923
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 1: with all eyes on what's going to happen. And then

1924
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:46,360
Speaker 1: also the fact that NFL teams are doing the same

1925
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 1: thing that we're going to be doing, and that's watching

1926
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 1: the drafts from home. You know, they're going to be

1927
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 1: in their office, in their basement, in their living room,

1928
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:57,760
Speaker 1: wherever it is. They're gonna have it. People living in

1929
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 1: their house for three days to make sure nothing goes wrong,

1930
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:04,639
Speaker 1: and you know, a lot of communication going on remotely.

1931
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:07,320
Speaker 1: So it's just really fascinating with that aspect of it.

1932
01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:09,599
Speaker 1: And when you talk about the players, you know, it's

1933
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 1: the wild card of the first round. Is going to

1934
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:14,839
Speaker 1: be ta to talking about lower the quarterbacks from Alabama.

1935
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:17,640
Speaker 1: If he falls out of the top six, which the

1936
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,200
Speaker 1: only reason he would would be the medicals. If he

1937
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:22,840
Speaker 1: follows out of the top six, where does he go.

1938
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: That's the biggest question. Surrounding this draft a week out,

1939
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, could we see the Jaguars at nine, the

1940
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 1: Raiders at twelve, a surprise team trade up, And so

1941
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of intrigue right now around Tah and

1942
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 1: just you know, being the wild card of this first

1943
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 1: round and where he'll ultimately end up. I think is

1944
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 1: this fair to say, Deigned that most of the intrigue

1945
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 1: about ta deals with his health right Teams have not

1946
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,519
Speaker 1: been able to check him out their medical people, at

1947
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 1: least on an individual team basis, and they might not

1948
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 1: be quite sure what they're gonna get with Tah. Is

1949
01:35:56,360 --> 01:36:00,800
Speaker 1: that fair to say, you know, a talent, he's a

1950
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 1: top five talent. There's a good chance we might see

1951
01:36:03,479 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: a team trade up to number two to get to

1952
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:09,000
Speaker 1: UH if he were fully healthy. But that's just not

1953
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,439
Speaker 1: the case. And you know, it's you know, the greatest

1954
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:15,360
Speaker 1: predictor of future injuries is past injuries, and that's something

1955
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:19,240
Speaker 1: that really plagued him over his time at Alabama, and

1956
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 1: it's you know, both ankles, it's the hip, and you

1957
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,480
Speaker 1: just really worry about Kenny stay healthy for a sixteen

1958
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:28,799
Speaker 1: will soon to be seventeen game schedule in the NFL,

1959
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: and then's something that each team's appetite for risk is different.

1960
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 1: So it's not like you know, one team is going

1961
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:37,320
Speaker 1: to have the same opinion. You know, they each have

1962
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 1: their medical doctors, their training staffs, those professionals will have

1963
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 1: different opinions on, you know, just how well they'll be

1964
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:47,680
Speaker 1: able to stay healthy, how his body will be able

1965
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:50,839
Speaker 1: to hold up. So it really makes it a fascinating discussion.

1966
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: And those of us on the outside, like myself, who

1967
01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm supposed to be able to tell you

1968
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 1: where two is going to go? I have no problem

1969
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 1: telling you I don't know because the medical stuff that

1970
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:03,840
Speaker 1: we just don't have that information for. That's you know that,

1971
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:05,599
Speaker 1: And it's going to be different from team to team.

1972
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 1: So it's really going to make things interesting. Now, that's

1973
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 1: what I was going to ask you. What's your gut

1974
01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: feeling about his history? And you've seen other players come

1975
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:17,120
Speaker 1: through the draft process with a history of injuries. To

1976
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:22,240
Speaker 1: a tag Offloa's injuries seemed to be run the gamut, right,

1977
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 1: He's had leg injuries and now he's got a hip injury.

1978
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 1: There's the real significant one. And he played quarterback at

1979
01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:32,080
Speaker 1: Alabama and at the highest level of college football. What's

1980
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:36,120
Speaker 1: your gut feeling about the type of injuries he's sustained already,

1981
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 1: and given the fact that he's given so far the

1982
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 1: all aok by his doctors and other doctors. You know,

1983
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 1: what's your gut feeling. Yeah, it's tough because, Yeah, in

1984
01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 1: the past, we've seen you know, look at Sam Bradford

1985
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 1: for example, who had a lot of injuries over his

1986
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 1: time in Oklahoma. He still went number one overall, and

1987
01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, his career in the NFL was up and

1988
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 1: down because of injury. You know, we've seen it in

1989
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 1: the past. It's just and it's tougher for a player

1990
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: like Tuah, who is a little undersize. He's six foot even,

1991
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, two hundred and twenty pounds, not the biggest

1992
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 1: guy in A big part of his game is getting

1993
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 1: outside the pocket, moving the pocket, so you know, just

1994
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:19,519
Speaker 1: opens things up downfield. That his ability to improvise kind

1995
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:23,560
Speaker 1: of play stylistically similar to like a Russell Wilson. But

1996
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:26,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is so good at taking care of his body,

1997
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:29,759
Speaker 1: whether it's throwing the ball away, sliding, just not taking

1998
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 1: those clean hits, where Tuah has not really developed that

1999
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 1: skill to this point. So you know, it's something that

2000
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:39,120
Speaker 1: he needs to get better at taking care of his body.

2001
01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 1: And I just I hope he's able to stay healthy

2002
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 1: because I think the NFL as a whole, the league

2003
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 1: will be better off with a healthy Tuah as opposed

2004
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:48,640
Speaker 1: to him not being a part of it. And so

2005
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, when we

2006
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:52,720
Speaker 1: look at this draft, I think there's a good chance

2007
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 1: he would go five or six to the Dolphins or

2008
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: the Chargers, but there is the chance that he would

2009
01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:01,160
Speaker 1: get past those two teams and that happened. I think

2010
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 1: if anybody's gets where he could end up, I could

2011
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:06,800
Speaker 1: just picture the Patriots sitting there at twenty three, you know,

2012
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 1: maybe just sitting there and waiting, maybe moving up a

2013
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 1: few spots and able to get Uah, and all of

2014
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 1: a sudden he stays healthy for twenty years and you

2015
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: know you got passing of the torch. That would be

2016
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,880
Speaker 1: a very new England thing to happen. I gotta ask

2017
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 1: you too, You've put together a seven round mock drafts,

2018
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:26,240
Speaker 1: a massive undertaking. Where do you start. Do you start

2019
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:28,640
Speaker 1: with the order of the draft and the needs of

2020
01:39:28,680 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: the team at the tops and then go from there

2021
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 1: or do you start with the prospect and who the

2022
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 1: best players in college football are coming out? How where

2023
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,560
Speaker 1: do you even start to put together two hundred and

2024
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 1: what fifty two picks in order? Yeah, and if you're

2025
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:43,479
Speaker 1: going to do this, I think you need to do

2026
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 1: it right and that you know, it's not just okay, well,

2027
01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 1: the Giants need a linebacker, so you know, this is

2028
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:52,200
Speaker 1: my next best linebacker, So that's going there. Now. I'm

2029
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 1: trying to follow the breadcrumbs, you know, I'm trying to

2030
01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:58,280
Speaker 1: follow visits and who's meeting with who, who's talking to who,

2031
01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:01,560
Speaker 1: listening to different source throughout the league and try to

2032
01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, connect those docks. And it's a little tougher

2033
01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 1: this year because we don't have those thirty visits at

2034
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 1: the facility. We don't have the pro days where all

2035
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 1: that's okay, the Bills defensive packs coach was at this

2036
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 1: pro day. Okay, that's interesting. So you know, there's different

2037
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:17,599
Speaker 1: things in the path that you could file away as

2038
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,560
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of a clue as to what

2039
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: the team might do this year. We just we don't

2040
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 1: have that, so it's a little tougher. We're you know,

2041
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 1: kind of dealing with FaceTime calls and who's skiping with who,

2042
01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:30,240
Speaker 1: And it gets a little tough because these these teams

2043
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:34,880
Speaker 1: are allowed unlimited amount of virtual calls with players just

2044
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,800
Speaker 1: have to be an hour or less than length. So

2045
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:40,040
Speaker 1: when I do is sit down to do a seven

2046
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 1: round mock. I actually did it while my editors, you know,

2047
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:46,200
Speaker 1: bless their souls, were looking at the Beast and going

2048
01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:48,960
Speaker 1: through that. So I had time to go through this

2049
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 1: seven round mock and try to match up not just

2050
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:54,640
Speaker 1: in needs, but also try to follow those breadcrumbs and

2051
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 1: figure out what team you know culture wise, scheme, fit wise,

2052
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 1: try to make those actions. Kane Brewber, guest draft analysts

2053
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:05,160
Speaker 1: at the Athletic. Did you say, a couple of minutes

2054
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 1: ago dained that the Beast is two hundred and fifty

2055
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 1: thousand words and you were trying to be concise? Did

2056
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:14,160
Speaker 1: I get that right? Okay, we might have a different

2057
01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 1: definition of concits. I want to ask you about your

2058
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 1: ma traft. You've got a cornerback from TCU, Jeff Gladney

2059
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 1: going to the Buffalo Bills with their second round pick.

2060
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:24,680
Speaker 1: What do you know about him? He's kind of a

2061
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 1: smaller corner right he is, but he's a bulldog of

2062
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 1: a corner and usually you don't use that that adjective describe,

2063
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, a cornerback, but that's he is a junkyard

2064
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 1: dog with his ability to get physical, mixed things up

2065
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: with receivers, not afraid to be a part of the

2066
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: run game. Uh. And he was challenged in the Big

2067
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: twelve where you know, we know they like to put

2068
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 1: the ball through the air, and he did a really

2069
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:53,679
Speaker 1: nice job. The last two years he combined for thirty

2070
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 1: passes defense and I think in my experience that's one

2071
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:01,720
Speaker 1: of the stats the production staff that really transverse and

2072
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: translates from the college level to the pro level is

2073
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:07,240
Speaker 1: if you're able to get your hands on the football

2074
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 1: as a defensive back, normally you're able to do that

2075
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 1: in the pros. And so Gladne he's my third best corner,

2076
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 1: which you know, I think he'd be excellent value at

2077
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 1: that point, he's dealing with Teta recently had knee a

2078
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 1: knee surgery on a meniscus which he played through his

2079
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 1: entire senior year, so you know, the toughness factor is there,

2080
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:29,479
Speaker 1: but so not the biggest guy coming off this knee injury,

2081
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:31,880
Speaker 1: So you have to be comfortable with the medicals, but

2082
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,679
Speaker 1: that could end up being, you know, a huge value

2083
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 1: for a team like the Bills looking for some cornerback

2084
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 1: depth in the second round. You've got him as your

2085
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 1: third best corner out Assume behind Henderson and Okuda are

2086
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 1: those one and two? And how are they one and two?

2087
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 1: Which is one? Which is two? They are? You know?

2088
01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 1: Accuda to me is number one. He's he's the prototype.

2089
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:53,720
Speaker 1: If you're going to drop a corner, it's gonna look

2090
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 1: something like Jeff Okuda. I know he ran a four

2091
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 1: or four eight at the combine, not as fast as

2092
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 1: you know some people were acting or you know, what

2093
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:04,760
Speaker 1: you expect in a top five overall cornerback. But still,

2094
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 1: this is the guy who plays sticky coverage, has really

2095
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:12,200
Speaker 1: long arms, has good size, good ball skills. He'll mix

2096
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 1: it up in the run game. So there's a lot

2097
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 1: to like about Jeff Okuda, and there's a lot to

2098
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: like about CJ. Henderson as well. Six one two oh five,

2099
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:21,800
Speaker 1: good length as well. He ran a four to three

2100
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,280
Speaker 1: at the combine, so a lot there's a lot to

2101
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:27,320
Speaker 1: like about him. My big concerns with Henderson He's not

2102
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: a very good tackler and you know, at the cornerback position,

2103
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:32,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to be an all pro tackler. You

2104
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:33,840
Speaker 1: just have to be able to be reliable, get your

2105
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 1: guy on the ground, so he needs to get better there.

2106
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 1: And then I just wish you were a better playmaker

2107
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:41,080
Speaker 1: at the catch point. He's you know, does a really

2108
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,479
Speaker 1: nice job mirroring and staying attached to routs, but it

2109
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:46,920
Speaker 1: needs to do a better job understanding when the balls

2110
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,879
Speaker 1: coming in, getting its head turned around, finding the football,

2111
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:53,360
Speaker 1: making a play. Didn't have any interceptions this past year

2112
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:55,760
Speaker 1: as a junior, but still a really good player. And

2113
01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 1: I think both Okuda and Henderson could end up being

2114
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 1: top ten picks. Kane, I got to ask you a question.

2115
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,640
Speaker 1: Put your thinking cap on. We had Brandon Bean on

2116
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:06,519
Speaker 1: the last half hour of our show and we were

2117
01:44:06,600 --> 01:44:08,560
Speaker 1: talking to him and we both Murph and I have

2118
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:12,200
Speaker 1: this this sinking feeling or I don't know, uplifting feeling

2119
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:14,040
Speaker 1: that Brandon Bean might want to move up in the

2120
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,720
Speaker 1: first round of the draft. If you if we told you,

2121
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:20,280
Speaker 1: and this is just us shooting the breeze, if we

2122
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 1: told you that the Bills we're gonna move up, say

2123
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 1: into the into the early part of the second round

2124
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,720
Speaker 1: and say thirty to thirty five or at thirty three

2125
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:32,800
Speaker 1: to thirty five picks, would there be What kind of

2126
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,880
Speaker 1: player would be the kind of player they would go after,

2127
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:38,639
Speaker 1: certainly somebody who fell down out of the first round,

2128
01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: but what kind of position? What kind of player? Could

2129
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 1: you see maybe the Bills jumping up fifteen or seventeen

2130
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 1: spots four to grab in the early in the second

2131
01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: round if they were going to trade up, well, my

2132
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:57,120
Speaker 1: guess would be I would immediately think of three different

2133
01:44:57,160 --> 01:45:00,800
Speaker 1: positions where that would make sense. I think a corner. Uh,

2134
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, if they if one of these corners that

2135
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 1: they really like, say a Jalen Johnson from Utah, would fall.

2136
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:09,559
Speaker 1: I have him going thirty two overall to the Chiefs.

2137
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:12,280
Speaker 1: But you know, say he's available in the early second

2138
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:14,080
Speaker 1: or you know, right there in the late first, I

2139
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:16,320
Speaker 1: think he would make some sent tis a really versatile

2140
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:19,680
Speaker 1: corner can play inside, outside, that can play man, can

2141
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 1: play zone decent side, six foot, one hundred and ninety

2142
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 1: five pounds, good good athlete, can ride receivers up and

2143
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:29,519
Speaker 1: down the field, very aggressive, sometimes too aggressive. But you know,

2144
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:31,360
Speaker 1: if you if you're looking for a corner, you'd rather

2145
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 1: him be too aggressive then the opposite. So I think

2146
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:37,719
Speaker 1: Jayalen Johnson from Utah a cornerback could be an option.

2147
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:40,719
Speaker 1: I think edge rusher is a possibility if they're looking

2148
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: for that impact guy that can get after the quarterback. Uh.

2149
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:45,639
Speaker 1: You know, Chase Jon's going to be off the board

2150
01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:48,680
Speaker 1: in the first two picks. Klaibion Chason is going to

2151
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,760
Speaker 1: go somewhere in the top seventeen picks. After that, there's

2152
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 1: a lot of intrigue about, Okay, who's that next pass

2153
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:57,360
Speaker 1: rusher off the board? Could it be Eatur Grossmatos, you know,

2154
01:45:57,400 --> 01:45:59,640
Speaker 1: could he fall a little bit, maybe he could be

2155
01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:03,120
Speaker 1: in I think Buffalo really looking for an impact cash

2156
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:05,599
Speaker 1: rusher could be that trade up target. And if it's

2157
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:07,760
Speaker 1: not that, and I don't know how fans would think,

2158
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:11,280
Speaker 1: would would uh would like this or not? But this

2159
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 1: is this running back class is really interesting. And there's

2160
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:17,320
Speaker 1: four at the top of JK Dobbin Deandres we have

2161
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:21,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, Clyde Edwards, Laire you know, kind of in

2162
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:22,840
Speaker 1: whatever order you want. You know, there's a lot of

2163
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 1: different opinions. There's no consensus on you know, first, second, third, fourth,

2164
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 1: But say a Jonathan Taylor were there in the in

2165
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:32,920
Speaker 1: the early second round. Uh, you know, just that a

2166
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: guy that can be a bell cow. We know how

2167
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:39,519
Speaker 1: productive he was. Uh at Wisconsin. The elements aren't going

2168
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 1: to bother him. Um, you know he's a he's a

2169
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 1: New Jersey guy, so you know close by. I think

2170
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 1: that would be a natural fit as a guy that

2171
01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:50,200
Speaker 1: you add to that backfield and all of a sudden,

2172
01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:54,080
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and Nuts, the passing game, the running game.

2173
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:55,679
Speaker 1: I think that'd be a lot of fun to watch

2174
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:58,920
Speaker 1: live on the line with Dame Burglar, draft analyst for

2175
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,559
Speaker 1: the Athletic. He's got a seven round mock draft up

2176
01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 1: on the Athletic. Hey, Dane, and your mock draft for

2177
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:08,640
Speaker 1: the Bills. Sixth round, you've got the John Runyon offensive

2178
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 1: lineman from Michigan, guard or tackle. Two questions about him?

2179
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:13,719
Speaker 1: Is he a guard or a tackle in the NFL?

2180
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:17,160
Speaker 1: John Runyon? And the second question his father, John Runyon,

2181
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 1: was a very notable All Pro offensive lineman who played

2182
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:26,200
Speaker 1: with the Nasty Streak. Didn't he right? Are you there? Yeah?

2183
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:30,599
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yes, I'm here, go ahead, Yeah. I think

2184
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 1: John Runyon. You know, it's it's kind of taught for

2185
01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:34,799
Speaker 1: a guy like that who's always going to be compared

2186
01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 1: to his dad, and a dad at one point was

2187
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:40,640
Speaker 1: the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL. Uh. You know,

2188
01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 1: he's a guy that you know, served, had a political

2189
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,680
Speaker 1: career afterwards. You his dad has been well accomplished. So

2190
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 1: it's he's got a lot to live up to. But

2191
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:52,800
Speaker 1: he's a really tough you know that he got that

2192
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 1: from his dad. The mean streak he got doc from

2193
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 1: his dad. I mean, he was groomed up, groomed around

2194
01:47:57,560 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 1: the game, and you can tell that he'd watched his dad.

2195
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 1: He's played mostly he played mostly left tackle at Michigan.

2196
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:05,640
Speaker 1: You they're starting left tackle the last two years. I

2197
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:08,680
Speaker 1: think he's better inside a guard six four or three

2198
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 1: oh five. But I think he gives you a little

2199
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 1: bit of that versatility. Can play guard, can play tackle,

2200
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 1: and so I think that's part of what's going to

2201
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:17,439
Speaker 1: make him appealing at some point on Day three of

2202
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:20,639
Speaker 1: the draft. He gives you that versatility to provide depth

2203
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 1: at both spots. And so he's not quite a bad uh,

2204
01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of just overall ability and in

2205
01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 1: terms of a football career. But I think he's going

2206
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 1: to be quality death for a team that's looking to

2207
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:34,400
Speaker 1: round out their offensive line. And the last question I

2208
01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 1: have for you, Dane about your mock draft is the

2209
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:38,800
Speaker 1: Bills in the seventh round. You've got him going for

2210
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,519
Speaker 1: a bloodline guy again, Michael Turk, whose father Matt Turk,

2211
01:48:41,640 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 1: was an NFL punter. And to take a punter at

2212
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 1: any point in the draft, especially a seventh round, that's

2213
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 1: that's a bit of a that's that's unusual, isn't it. Yeah,

2214
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:54,679
Speaker 1: And you know, I think especially this year because it's

2215
01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 1: something where the undrafted process is going to be really

2216
01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:03,439
Speaker 1: messy this year with it's always the wild wild West

2217
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:07,080
Speaker 1: with you know, teams calling players and saying, hey, you know,

2218
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:09,120
Speaker 1: we might take you here in the seventh but if

2219
01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:11,160
Speaker 1: we don't, we'd still love to sign you. And you know,

2220
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: scouts are calling different players, but they have to check

2221
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:15,840
Speaker 1: with a position coach, they have to check with their

2222
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 1: cap guy to make sure they have money to allocate

2223
01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 1: to this player. And so it's just the wild wild West.

2224
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:23,479
Speaker 1: And it's tough enough when you're in the same building,

2225
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:26,679
Speaker 1: but you know, imagine being all in all different buildings

2226
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: at your house trying to you know, communicate over the phone.

2227
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 1: Over the Internet and trying to figure these things out.

2228
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:34,559
Speaker 1: So I think we might see, you know, a couple

2229
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 1: of these guys that might be undrafted free agents, they'll

2230
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:40,640
Speaker 1: be drafted late just because you want less competition in

2231
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 1: terms of getting their services. So, Michael Turk, I think

2232
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:45,840
Speaker 1: one of the three punters this year who has at

2233
01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 1: least a shot of getting drafted late. I know it's

2234
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 1: one of the things about these drafts that you get

2235
01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:53,960
Speaker 1: down to the seven drafts and this it's a role

2236
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 1: of the guys. There's so many available names, but at

2237
01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 1: the top of the draft it becomes less uncertain. However,

2238
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 1: when you got two or three quarterbacks, maybe the top

2239
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:06,479
Speaker 1: five is doesn't go exactly as planned. How do you

2240
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 1: see the quarterbacks being taken in this in this draft?

2241
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:11,559
Speaker 1: How do you see the first five picks going? Does

2242
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 1: any do any of these teams move up or down

2243
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:16,080
Speaker 1: out of the top five? How do you see it

2244
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 1: playing out? What what's the likelihood of it starting to

2245
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 1: become a little bit of a game of roulette at

2246
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:24,639
Speaker 1: the top. Yeah, and again it brings us full circle

2247
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:26,800
Speaker 1: talking about two of because I think that's the wild

2248
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 1: card of the top five. Do we see you know,

2249
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:31,719
Speaker 1: First of all, do these teams are they fully signed

2250
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:34,479
Speaker 1: off on the medicals, And if so, will we see

2251
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:37,759
Speaker 1: a team go up to number three, say with the Lions,

2252
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 1: because the Lions would love to trade back. If you

2253
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 1: spot the Lions feel great about their auctions that they

2254
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 1: go Jeff Okuda from Ohio State, if they go Isaiah

2255
01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 1: Simmons from Clemson, Derek Brown from Auburn, I think the

2256
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:50,920
Speaker 1: Lions would be, you know, just fine trading back a

2257
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:53,880
Speaker 1: little bit, picking up an extra Day two pick, and

2258
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 1: still getting a defensive playmaker. So will we see a

2259
01:50:56,920 --> 01:50:59,600
Speaker 1: team move up for twa If we don't, then I

2260
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:01,599
Speaker 1: think it's going to be chuck where we have Joe

2261
01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:04,080
Speaker 1: Burrow at one to the Bengals. You know, it's the Bengals,

2262
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:05,800
Speaker 1: you never know, they could do their own thing. But

2263
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:08,240
Speaker 1: it would be a complete shock if Joe Burrows not

2264
01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:11,040
Speaker 1: that number one pick Chase Young at number two. I

2265
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:14,080
Speaker 1: don't think the Redskins are going to get anything close

2266
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:16,400
Speaker 1: to the type of deal they would want to move

2267
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:18,720
Speaker 1: away from that pick. So good chance we teach Chase

2268
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 1: Young at two, Jeko Kuda three to the Lions if

2269
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:24,120
Speaker 1: there's no trade, and then the Giants do they go

2270
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 1: as day at Simmons the defensive playmaker, or do they

2271
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:29,280
Speaker 1: go off with the tackle. I think Dave Gettelman, he's

2272
01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 1: going to look for that, you know, that big hog

2273
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:34,360
Speaker 1: Molly in the middle or on the offensive line that

2274
01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:37,879
Speaker 1: can help protect Daniel Jones, help open holes for Saclon Barkley.

2275
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:40,240
Speaker 1: So I think the offensive tackle at number four. And

2276
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:43,280
Speaker 1: then we get to Miami and the Chargers, and that's

2277
01:51:43,320 --> 01:51:47,160
Speaker 1: where Justin Herbert and Tuah. I think those those two

2278
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 1: guys make sense in those spots, but which order, and

2279
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:52,920
Speaker 1: you know what, we see twa actually go in the

2280
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:57,400
Speaker 1: top six. They Dane. As Steve said, we just talked

2281
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 1: to uh Brandon being the Bills general manager Land Hour,

2282
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,160
Speaker 1: and they had a number of things to say, but

2283
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 1: one thing that kind of stuck with me was just

2284
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 1: is I don't know he's obviously it's a big day

2285
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:10,120
Speaker 1: for him, the big weekend coming up, but there's such

2286
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 1: an air of optimism about him and sort of look,

2287
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 1: it's a new challenge. It's a different game this year,

2288
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:17,400
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, And all I can think about was

2289
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean. Although would probably prefer to have the normal

2290
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 1: draft set up back in the Bills personnel room with

2291
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:25,040
Speaker 1: the video screens and everything. He's going to do it

2292
01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 1: from his home. I got the sense that he likes

2293
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 1: this challenge. I wonder is that fairly typical around the league?

2294
01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:32,680
Speaker 1: You think most teams are thinking, Okay, let's try this

2295
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:36,360
Speaker 1: this year. Well, yeah, I think and teams are confident,

2296
01:52:36,439 --> 01:52:39,280
Speaker 1: no question, because they feel good about, you know, what

2297
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:41,720
Speaker 1: their process. And I think what we're going to see

2298
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 1: is the teams that are well equipped to draft well

2299
01:52:45,720 --> 01:52:49,439
Speaker 1: and you know talking about you know, the Patriots, the Ravens,

2300
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I think the Bills are purtting themselves in

2301
01:52:52,240 --> 01:52:55,200
Speaker 1: that category as well. You know, they're going to do

2302
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:57,480
Speaker 1: a nice job. I think in this because the communication

2303
01:52:57,560 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 1: they have it down, where some of these other teams

2304
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 1: that might not have you know, they might have had

2305
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:04,640
Speaker 1: some turnover in the front office. Maybe they have a

2306
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:07,639
Speaker 1: first year general manager, a first year head coach. That's

2307
01:53:07,680 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 1: where we could see some communication issues and maybe those

2308
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,960
Speaker 1: teams aren't as confident going into this type of setup.

2309
01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:16,840
Speaker 1: So I think it seemed like the Bills could capitalize

2310
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,160
Speaker 1: in a situation like this because they have it down

2311
01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:22,280
Speaker 1: how their process works, you know, their brain trust, who

2312
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:25,000
Speaker 1: who's making the main decisions here. So I think the

2313
01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:27,600
Speaker 1: Bills could be one of those teams that takes advantage

2314
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:30,960
Speaker 1: of a situation like this where it's just it's very unconventional,

2315
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:35,560
Speaker 1: it's unprecedented, but they're set up well with a communication

2316
01:53:35,720 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 1: factor and just their their brain trust that they'll do well. Jane,

2317
01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:42,479
Speaker 1: the Beast is up right, it's going to the Athletic

2330
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:18,519
Speaker 1: funny thing is he made that up like four or

01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:27,519
Speaker 1: That was that was not coronavirus related, Steef. Can I

01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:39,240
Speaker 1: you believe it is easier for GM Brandon Bean, is

2379
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:42,320
Speaker 1: it he doesn't have to find a starter? Nineteen percent

2380
01:56:42,360 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 1: of you say that's the answer. Is it they can

2381
01:56:45,200 --> 01:56:48,120
Speaker 1: watch other teams kind of maybe stumbled their way through

2382
01:56:48,120 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 1: the first round the builds. We'll avoid glitches in the

2383
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:52,360
Speaker 1: first round. Or is it, Hey, it's not easier. They're

Speaker 1: Give us a call eight h three h five fifty

Speaker 1: talk about that or talk about whatever you'd like to

2388
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:05,160
Speaker 1: talk about. The phone lines are wide open. Let's go

2389
01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:07,280
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet. In response to that, what makes

2390
01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:10,200
Speaker 1: this year's NFL draft easier for Brandon being? The tweet

2391
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 1: sheet brought to you by Cargan Moving Systems, the official

2392
01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills. Here's a response from set

2393
01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:19,080
Speaker 1: Says says, I don't think it's much easier at all.

2394
01:57:20,840 --> 01:57:23,760
Speaker 1: Less pressure with no first rounder. Sure, however, there is

2395
01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 1: pressure to hit on all picks in rounds two, three,

2396
01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 1: and four, hoping being can package late round picks to

2397
01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:33,720
Speaker 1: get extras in the third and fourth. Late rounders. Excuse me,

2398
01:57:33,840 --> 01:57:36,560
Speaker 1: late rounders won't make the squad. Maybe a punter wheel

2399
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:40,400
Speaker 1: though interesting. He's covered a lot of territory there. They

2400
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:43,280
Speaker 1: make you know, if what's that He's going to listen

2401
01:57:43,320 --> 01:57:45,960
Speaker 1: to the show. Yeah, and I'm going to repeat what

2402
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 1: I said about an hour ago. I'm not guaranteeing anything.

2403
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:51,800
Speaker 1: I just him a feeling. They're gonna before the draft,

2404
01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 1: before they draft fifty fourth on Friday eight, round two,

2405
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:58,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna move up. And it sounded like today if

2406
01:57:58,080 --> 01:58:01,160
Speaker 1: you listen to Brandon Bean, sounded like into the you know,

2407
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:03,920
Speaker 1: thirty two to thirty five second round, early top four

2408
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:05,600
Speaker 1: or five picks in the second round. That would not

2409
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:08,680
Speaker 1: surprise me. I asked Dane Brugler what he thought his

2410
01:58:08,880 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 1: gut thing was. He said, maybe it was a running

2411
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 1: back that felt one of those top running backs, maybe

2412
01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:17,000
Speaker 1: one of those difference makers that would entice the Bills

2413
01:58:17,040 --> 01:58:19,480
Speaker 1: to move up into the top of the top half

2414
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:22,600
Speaker 1: of the second Maybe. I don't think the burglar understands

2415
01:58:22,680 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 1: the Bills as much as you do or I do. See. Yeah,

2416
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:27,520
Speaker 1: I was surprised to hear him say, although there may

2417
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:29,760
Speaker 1: be some guys in that running back that could do it,

2418
01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:34,720
Speaker 1: but I think it's more likely an edge rusher. I

2419
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 1: think an offensive lineman and tackle maybe. But you want

2420
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 1: to get to the tweet sheet and probe one from

2421
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:42,720
Speaker 1: Kevin From the tweet sheet? What makes this year's NFL

2422
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:45,640
Speaker 1: draft easier? For Brandon bean Um, He says, I voted

2423
01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:48,680
Speaker 1: to see we still haven't won anything. That means we

2424
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:52,160
Speaker 1: still have some holes to fill and still have work

2425
01:58:52,240 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 1: to do. Now see would have would have been? It

2426
01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:56,280
Speaker 1: isn't easier. They're trying to build a championship roster, and

2427
01:58:56,720 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 1: and Kevin's referring to, you know, a championship rosters never

2428
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 1: finished right, so especially at draft time, and I tend

2429
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:10,800
Speaker 1: to kind of agree with him. It is so many

2430
01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 1: things are out of your control. When a football games

2431
01:59:13,360 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 1: kicks off, you need to control as many of them,

2432
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:17,960
Speaker 1: and if you've got more talent, there's gonna be more

2433
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:21,880
Speaker 1: plays that are gonna go your way. We sat here

2434
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 1: last year, Murph and watched Josh Allen, these Buffalo Bills

2435
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 1: and Seanan McDermott. They won ten games, and in the

2436
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:34,880
Speaker 1: six games they lost. Most of those games, maybe four

2437
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,760
Speaker 1: or five of those games came down to three plays

2438
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 1: that could have gone the other way, or three plays

2439
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:41,920
Speaker 1: of the Bills didn't make and they could have or

2440
01:59:41,960 --> 01:59:46,680
Speaker 1: should have or would have or whatever didn't. One player

2441
01:59:46,920 --> 01:59:50,080
Speaker 1: can make a difference in three plays, you know, And

2442
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:52,720
Speaker 1: it comes down to how many of those plays you

2443
01:59:52,840 --> 01:59:54,800
Speaker 1: get and how many of those plays you let get away.

2444
01:59:55,400 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 1: And a champion, when you're gonna win a championship, you

2445
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:03,840
Speaker 1: gotta in those three or four plays for sixteen weeks

2446
02:00:04,520 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 1: and three games in the playoffs, you know. And and

2447
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:12,680
Speaker 1: the higher level of play you get from the lower

2448
02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:15,600
Speaker 1: part of your roster, the more chances you have to

2449
02:00:15,680 --> 02:00:18,480
Speaker 1: make it happen. So I'm kind of with Kevin on

2450
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:22,600
Speaker 1: this championship. Rosters are never finished, and I think Brandon

2451
02:00:22,640 --> 02:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Bean's got some work to do in this draft. Bill's

2452
02:00:24,840 --> 02:00:27,640
Speaker 1: fan twelve to eighty three tweets in this response. No

2453
02:00:27,840 --> 02:00:30,840
Speaker 1: need for a starter makes it slightly easier, but the

2454
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:34,160
Speaker 1: draft is never easy. He says. To win championships in

2455
02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:36,520
Speaker 1: this league, you need depth. That's what you're just saying, Steve.

2456
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:38,520
Speaker 1: He said, this draft is a great way for us

2457
02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:40,120
Speaker 1: to add that depth if we want to be that

2458
02:00:40,240 --> 02:00:43,480
Speaker 1: parentingal playoff team. This draft is just as important as

2459
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:46,640
Speaker 1: every other. I don't know if I agree with all

2460
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:48,800
Speaker 1: of that. I don't. I mean, I think the twenty

2461
02:00:48,840 --> 02:00:51,680
Speaker 1: eighteen draft to get your potential franchise quarterback made that

2462
02:00:51,840 --> 02:00:54,960
Speaker 1: the most important and segnificant draft of the last decade.

2463
02:00:55,000 --> 02:00:58,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, this draft is important. I'm not saying that either. Yeah,

2464
02:00:58,520 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 1: And you know what, it's interesting, we won't know how

2465
02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:05,440
Speaker 1: important this draft is until maybe, you know, after this

2466
02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:08,560
Speaker 1: season's over, or maybe two seasons from now. That's just

2467
02:01:08,640 --> 02:01:10,520
Speaker 1: the nature of it. We tend to get all wrapped

2468
02:01:10,560 --> 02:01:12,840
Speaker 1: up in it and think, Wow, this is gonna be it,

2469
02:01:12,960 --> 02:01:14,520
Speaker 1: this is gonna be great, but we won't know that

2470
02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:17,400
Speaker 1: you think about it, there's still you know, Josh Allen

2471
02:01:17,440 --> 02:01:19,560
Speaker 1: has shown great promise and we're all kind of all

2472
02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:22,680
Speaker 1: all in on him, but we all acknowledge he needs

2473
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:24,880
Speaker 1: to take another step, another step and a half to

2474
02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:26,280
Speaker 1: get to where we want him to be as a

2475
02:01:26,520 --> 02:01:30,240
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. All signs are pointed towards the fact that

2476
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:32,440
Speaker 1: he's going to get there, but he's not there yet.

2477
02:01:32,520 --> 02:01:34,440
Speaker 1: So it's that'll be like two years or this will

2478
02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:39,400
Speaker 1: be his third season before that draft in twenty eighteen

2479
02:01:39,480 --> 02:01:42,040
Speaker 1: comes to fruition in that respect. You know, So this

2480
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:44,320
Speaker 1: draft this year, it is important, but it may be

2481
02:01:44,440 --> 02:01:46,480
Speaker 1: a long time before we get the full meaning of

2482
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:49,640
Speaker 1: how it affected the franchise. If you woke up Josh

2483
02:01:49,720 --> 02:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Allen in the middle of the night tonight and said, Josh,

2484
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 1: what position do you want the Bills to draft? What

2485
02:01:55,000 --> 02:02:00,600
Speaker 1: do you think he'd say? I think offensive life. I

2486
02:02:00,680 --> 02:02:02,920
Speaker 1: bet he'd say offensive line. I think he might say

2487
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:08,840
Speaker 1: running back. I don't know, maybe offensive line. Yeah, I

2488
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,200
Speaker 1: tell you, Murph, I've I've been Um, it's hard for

2489
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:14,600
Speaker 1: me to say because they've been signing these these offensive

2490
02:02:14,640 --> 02:02:16,960
Speaker 1: linemen and there's a lot there's a lot of things

2491
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:19,720
Speaker 1: going on in this offensive line. I mean, let's see

2492
02:02:19,760 --> 02:02:24,440
Speaker 1: they you know they've got You've got like what eleven

2493
02:02:24,720 --> 02:02:27,640
Speaker 1: guys already signed on the roster, and we don't know

2494
02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:32,920
Speaker 1: about those guys, right Daryl H Daryl Williams from Carolina.

2495
02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:35,280
Speaker 1: How good is that gun? Do we need anybody else

2496
02:02:35,320 --> 02:02:38,320
Speaker 1: but him? I don't know, but I know this, If

2497
02:02:38,560 --> 02:02:42,360
Speaker 1: if the Buffalo Bills open up this coming football season

2498
02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:46,520
Speaker 1: with a dominant offensive line, there's no stop in him,

2499
02:02:47,080 --> 02:02:48,840
Speaker 1: There's no stop at him. So I'm kind of with

2500
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:52,640
Speaker 1: you on that. I've said it a ton um. If

2501
02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm a GM or if I'm a head coach, I

2502
02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:58,440
Speaker 1: build my team around an offensive line, all of it,

2503
02:02:58,880 --> 02:03:02,320
Speaker 1: every every from top to bottom. It starts there. And

2504
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:04,080
Speaker 1: if you can get those guys right, if you can

2505
02:03:04,120 --> 02:03:07,240
Speaker 1: get certainly, if you can get him great and dominant,

2506
02:03:07,560 --> 02:03:09,120
Speaker 1: your team is going to be pretty tough to be.

2507
02:03:09,400 --> 02:03:13,520
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of with you on that. The latest

2508
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,960
Speaker 1: roster I'm looking at for the Bill's thirteen offensive linemen

2509
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:20,640
Speaker 1: on the roster right now, the five starters nominally Dawkins, Spain,

2510
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Morris Feliciano, Ford, backed up by Inseci, Daryl Williams, John Feliciano,

2511
02:03:25,040 --> 02:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Spencer Long, Victor Silaco, and Ryan Bates, Butcker and the

2512
02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:33,400
Speaker 1: new guy Evan Baying. Thirteen starters. But let's there's no

2513
02:03:34,920 --> 02:03:38,360
Speaker 1: who's the blue chipper in that group, right Cody maybe

2514
02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Mit Mo. Yeah, let's get another blue chipper. That's all

2515
02:03:41,720 --> 02:03:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That might be that Josh Allen is saying too,

2516
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Let's get another guy who has a chance to make

2517
02:03:47,240 --> 02:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls. Right, Let's go to a phone call here,

2518
02:03:49,920 --> 02:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Jim is on the line. Hello, Jim, welcome to the show.

2519
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in. Oh it's my pleasure to be here.

2520
02:03:55,680 --> 02:03:58,840
Speaker 1: And I am not the football brain that you guys are,

2521
02:03:59,280 --> 02:04:02,680
Speaker 1: but today that either Jim speak something more than that.

2522
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:06,160
Speaker 1: If if you want to know why we're going to

2523
02:04:06,160 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 1: be successful in this draft, I think the management team

2524
02:04:09,360 --> 02:04:14,000
Speaker 1: that the Bills have has demonstrated through dealing with their

2525
02:04:14,040 --> 02:04:17,520
Speaker 1: salary cap, taking the team and bringing him to the playoffs,

2526
02:04:17,960 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 1: establishing a new culture, and then how they're going to

2527
02:04:23,120 --> 02:04:26,240
Speaker 1: now draft in the new environments and how they're going

2528
02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:29,920
Speaker 1: to win in the playoffs. This group has demonstrated and

2529
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I think it's going to make the draft easy for

2530
02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:36,560
Speaker 1: them because they can manage change and they value the

2531
02:04:36,640 --> 02:04:40,080
Speaker 1: flexibility that power that's going to give them. I think

2532
02:04:40,120 --> 02:04:42,480
Speaker 1: that's what's going to be because these guys have a

2533
02:04:42,560 --> 02:04:46,800
Speaker 1: core competency of good change managers. Jim, you make a

2534
02:04:46,880 --> 02:04:49,760
Speaker 1: really good point and that point might be the number

2535
02:04:49,800 --> 02:04:51,200
Speaker 1: one thing. There was a lot of good things that

2536
02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:53,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Being said to us today at one o'clock, a

2537
02:04:53,120 --> 02:04:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of newsworthy things, But his attitude about everything that

2538
02:04:56,920 --> 02:05:01,320
Speaker 1: they're up against and the changes and challenge presented to them,

2539
02:05:01,440 --> 02:05:03,280
Speaker 1: that's what impressed me the most of they just how

2540
02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:06,040
Speaker 1: affable he was about everything. Yeah, you know, well okay,

2541
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:07,920
Speaker 1: we'll make do with this. Yeah, we've set ourselves up,

2542
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:09,960
Speaker 1: we'll make do with that. I think that goes to

2543
02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:12,960
Speaker 1: right to your point, Jim, it's like, that's different this year.

2544
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,000
Speaker 1: The draft is different. It's it might not be there

2545
02:05:15,080 --> 02:05:17,800
Speaker 1: will be some technical challenges. But the way Brandon being

2546
02:05:17,880 --> 02:05:20,080
Speaker 1: just sort of got after it and talked about that

2547
02:05:20,200 --> 02:05:22,800
Speaker 1: challenge really impressed me. And that's that's what I took

2548
02:05:22,840 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: away the most of what I took away from that

2549
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:27,360
Speaker 1: interview today. Well, yeah, his attitude, his attitude about being

2550
02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:30,280
Speaker 1: in a competent, competitive mode. Right, they're trying to with

2551
02:05:30,680 --> 02:05:34,640
Speaker 1: their with their IT department, with their scouting department, with

2552
02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:38,200
Speaker 1: their ability to communicate to everybody who needs to communicate,

2553
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:43,440
Speaker 1: from from ownership to management, to scouting to pro personnel

2554
02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:47,400
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff to position groups, um and meshing

2555
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:51,160
Speaker 1: that altogether, they really feel like they're competing when they're

2556
02:05:51,200 --> 02:05:56,200
Speaker 1: doing that in a way that UM is you know,

2557
02:05:56,360 --> 02:05:58,880
Speaker 1: it is going to translate into wins losses. And I

2558
02:05:58,960 --> 02:06:01,880
Speaker 1: think that attitude really refreshing and fun to be around.

2559
02:06:01,960 --> 02:06:05,480
Speaker 1: And I think it is also what has allowed them.

2560
02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:08,960
Speaker 1: And our caller Jim said, you know, they have handled

2561
02:06:09,040 --> 02:06:12,640
Speaker 1: adversity extremely well and they have handled change extremely well.

2562
02:06:13,360 --> 02:06:15,120
Speaker 1: So I'm with him. I think it's a lot of

2563
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:17,839
Speaker 1: fun to think about having a front office of management

2564
02:06:17,880 --> 02:06:21,080
Speaker 1: team who has hit home runs in a lot of

2565
02:06:21,120 --> 02:06:24,160
Speaker 1: different areas of their management responsibilities. All right, we got

2566
02:06:24,280 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 1: a break here one Bills Live PRESENTI by Collide to

2567
02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Health Radio only today we're doing a from our homes again.

2568
02:06:29,680 --> 02:06:45,640
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Okay, so what have we

2569
02:06:45,760 --> 02:06:48,240
Speaker 1: learned from today's show? Brought to you by Skyworks, the

2570
02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:51,640
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. If

2571
02:06:51,640 --> 02:06:54,400
Speaker 1: you miss Brandon Being, you can't go back to our

2572
02:06:54,680 --> 02:06:57,960
Speaker 1: podcasts available to Buffalo Bills dot com. Brandon Being talked

2573
02:06:57,960 --> 02:06:59,920
Speaker 1: with us about a variety of topics. We asked them,

2574
02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:03,680
Speaker 1: what makes this use draft easier? Isn't easier? In fact,

2575
02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Here's what brand of Mean had to say. I'm never comfortable.

2576
02:07:06,880 --> 02:07:09,920
Speaker 1: That's not how I'm wired with our roster. We could

2577
02:07:09,960 --> 02:07:12,320
Speaker 1: be coming off of winning the super Bowl or something,

2578
02:07:12,640 --> 02:07:15,600
Speaker 1: and if we're having the same conversation, I'm still going

2579
02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:17,760
Speaker 1: to be nervous about what we got to get done.

2580
02:07:17,960 --> 02:07:21,040
Speaker 1: And there's opportunities and we've got to play this draft right.

2581
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:22,560
Speaker 1: And the first thing to do is we got to

2582
02:07:22,600 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 1: make sure we're finalizing our board. We're getting close, but

2583
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:28,160
Speaker 1: we've got to you know, dot our eyes and cross

2584
02:07:28,200 --> 02:07:30,640
Speaker 1: our teas and make sure it's ready to roll. Because

2585
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 1: I truly listen to this board and follow it and

2586
02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:38,280
Speaker 1: believe in what the process that our scouts are, coaches,

2587
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:40,920
Speaker 1: everybody that's been involved in setting it, and then let

2588
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:42,440
Speaker 1: it talk to me on what we need to do

2589
02:07:42,520 --> 02:07:47,000
Speaker 1: as far as moving up, moving down, or staying put. Bean.

2590
02:07:47,080 --> 02:07:49,600
Speaker 1: We also had Dame Brugler on from the Athletic dot Com.

2591
02:07:49,760 --> 02:07:52,240
Speaker 1: He rates the Beast their draft preview and then his

2592
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:55,320
Speaker 1: mine draft. He's got cornerback Jeff Glatteny from TCU going

2593
02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:57,480
Speaker 1: to the Bills in the second round. Here's what Dame

2594
02:07:57,520 --> 02:08:00,960
Speaker 1: Bugler said about that he's a bulldog corner and usually

2595
02:08:01,120 --> 02:08:05,760
Speaker 1: you don't use that adjective describe, you know, a corner back,

2596
02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:09,120
Speaker 1: but that's he is a junkyard dog with his ability

2597
02:08:09,240 --> 02:08:12,800
Speaker 1: to get physical, mix things up with receivers, not afraid

2598
02:08:12,920 --> 02:08:15,200
Speaker 1: to be a part of the run game, and he

2599
02:08:15,360 --> 02:08:17,880
Speaker 1: was challenged in the Big twelve where you know, we

2600
02:08:18,040 --> 02:08:19,680
Speaker 1: know they like to put the ball through the air,

2601
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:22,200
Speaker 1: and he did a really nice job. The last two

2602
02:08:22,280 --> 02:08:26,600
Speaker 1: years he combined for thirty passes defense. And I think

2603
02:08:26,640 --> 02:08:30,280
Speaker 1: in my experience that's one of the stats, the production

2604
02:08:30,360 --> 02:08:34,320
Speaker 1: stats that really transverse and translates from the college level

2605
02:08:34,440 --> 02:08:36,880
Speaker 1: to the pro level is if you're able to get

2606
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:39,640
Speaker 1: your hands on the football as a defensive back, normally

2607
02:08:39,720 --> 02:08:42,640
Speaker 1: you're able to do that in the pros. And so Gladene,

2608
02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:45,880
Speaker 1: he's my third best corner, which you know, I think

2609
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:50,400
Speaker 1: he'd be excellent value at that point. Interesting game burg

2610
02:08:50,480 --> 02:08:52,600
Speaker 1: there Steve our Twitter poll today. It was kind of

2611
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:55,560
Speaker 1: a trick question. But of course I don't think Brandon

2612
02:08:55,600 --> 02:08:58,240
Speaker 1: mean looks at this draft is easier than previous years,

2613
02:08:58,240 --> 02:09:01,360
Speaker 1: do you No. I think what it is is we're

2614
02:09:01,400 --> 02:09:03,720
Speaker 1: putting it really to our to the fans, what do

2615
02:09:03,800 --> 02:09:06,160
Speaker 1: they think about this draft? And I think I think

2616
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:08,560
Speaker 1: fans really feel like this is a team that can

2617
02:09:08,640 --> 02:09:10,120
Speaker 1: get the most out of the draft and they want

2618
02:09:10,120 --> 02:09:11,520
Speaker 1: to see it, and Brandon Bean's going to be on

2619
02:09:11,600 --> 02:09:15,000
Speaker 1: the clock getting it. YEP. I agree. Tomorrow we'll talk

2620
02:09:15,040 --> 02:09:18,839
Speaker 1: with Doug Flutie, former Bills quarterback has a COVID nineteen

2621
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:22,200
Speaker 1: relief effort under Wayne. We'll talk about Doug fluty about that.
