Speaker 1: Had a Steve Tasker who has been a field. He

2
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: was kind of a dual role player, Steve a blimp.

3
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: We're not even in the spreaded tears of normalcy. Welcome

00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: by Steve Tasker on this Thursday afternoon, This chilly Thursday afternoon.

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: But I mean the sun's out. It's not terrible. I

8
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: know there was there was snow in the forecast. People

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: were losing their minds. I was one of those people.

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: But it's not going to snow, so it could be worse.

11
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: It's April first, Happy April fools Day, and we already

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: pulled some some pranks, some tricks on on you Bills fans.

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you had to endure this morning, the fact

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: that we released that we were going with a gray

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: face masks all year, just to psych you out. As

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: of about a minute ago, it dropped white face masks

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty one season. Yeah, Bills fans take

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: that stuff pretty seriously. I actually I was on a

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: podcast with in the United Kingdom a week A few

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Okay, worldwide. They brought it up. They were

21
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: they brought it up. They go, what why you know,

22
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: why are Bills fans so preoccupied with the great face

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: masks slash white face mask? And I just said, listen,

24
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: white jumps better. You know it does. I believe it.

25
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: It looks better. I'm so in on that. That's exactly right.

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: So I had explained to him why people are kind

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: of have a thing about the great face masks or

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: what you had to wear before we got into you know,

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: because nobody made white face masks, right. It was you know,

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: so um when they went to white face mask, like, wow,

31
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. So yeah, it pops, it looks good.

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: It good. And by the way, that was all Maddie's

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: idea that they they on the content call that they

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: blew you in. It was your idea to April fool

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: everybody into thinking we had great face mask. I had

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: an idea we had to do something fun with it

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: because it was like, okay, this is going to get

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: released on April first. I was thinking, all right, I

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: like pranking people. I like tricking people. Me and my

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: roommates in college used to have prank wars. How can

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: we do something like this, and so I just had

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: the idea. Our amazing video team made it happen. They

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: put those two videos out there. Our social team was

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: able to support it. That video that just went out

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: about us going to the white face masks is so funny.

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: There's a line in it where this little girl picks

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: up this helmet with a gray face mask and it

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: sounds like a mom goes, put that down. We don't

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: touch gray face masks. Don't touch those. It's a great

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: face masks. So yeah, and you came up with this

51
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: idea and the video cruise here. Oh my gosh. They're

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: they're really good at what they do, real house doing

53
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: this stuff. So it's really fun videos for April Fools. Enough. Yeah,

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: congrats to those that crew. But it is now, it

55
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: is real. They're going to white face masks all the time,

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: so all the time. Yeah, it's cool. So all of

57
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: the fans on social media pushing the hype train about

58
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: the white face masks and why they're so great, tip

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: your hat to you because you guys made this happen.

60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: I really I don't think if the fans were as

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: vocal about it, we might still be in gray face

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: face masks. So thanks to you guys for voicing your

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: opinions and telling us what looks good. Because you guys

64
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: have got it right. We've got a stacked show on

Speaker 1: of NFL news going on, things that we'll get into

77
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: with Armando and Greg. We're going to talk about some

78
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: prospects that we've seen, dip into some cornerback prospects. Greg

79
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,119
Speaker 1: will tell us about a couple guys that we should

80
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: keep on our radars as we're seeing pro days happen here, there,

81
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: and everywhere without an NFL scouting combine this year, so

82
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: it'll be fun to get into some of that. We're

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: going to go through the most recent mock draft watch

84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: that I released on Sunday. I think it came out

85
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: so glad. I am so glad you took that upon

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: yourself to keep track of that. I kind of nerd

87
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: out on it. I've got an Excel spreadsheet where we track.

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't track every single one, but we

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: track quite a few. I think we're up to seventy

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: eight so far. Started tracking like right after the season.

91
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're all bummed that we're still not playing,

92
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: and I like, message my boss, I'm like, should we

93
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: start the mock drafts now? I don't want to. I

94
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: want to be the Super Bowl. I will say this,

95
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: I take credit for being the only person in the

96
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: Western hemisphere who's in the media who doesn't have a

97
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: mock draft, So I didn't add to your burden. But yeah,

98
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: so you're in. It's an interesting trend because it happened.

99
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: The trends kind of follow our conversation on this show.

100
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. And you've got a trend

101
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: now that's going to say that, you know, there's a

102
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: different position group now that's taking the lead where all

103
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: these mock drafts are looking at Buffalo and what we've

104
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: done in free agency, and now they've come up with

105
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: a different position group that everybody thinks that we're gonna take.

106
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll let them people in on that when

107
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: we get there. Yeah, definitely other other things that a

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: news and notes that we can touch on talk about.

109
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: We know that the NFL Owners meetings happened this past week.

110
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: We talked to Kim Bugula actually yesterday and Brandon being

111
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: for our most recent Bills Pod Squad episode which should

112
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: be coming out later this afternoon, kind of got into

113
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: some of the news that has came out from those

114
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: owners meetings. Of course, a different setting again this year,

115
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: more virtual owners meetings usually are you get to be

116
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: in person, GM's go, coaches go. It's this whole shin

117
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: dig that you get to bring your families too. It's

118
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: usually somewhere warm, so cold weather teams they can escape

119
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: to a warmer place and kind of enjoy time together.

120
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: And from talking to Kim, you know the owners aren't

121
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: in touch with each other every single week, Like, yes,

122
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: you when you play a team, you talk to that

123
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: team's owner, But it's not like the owners are always

124
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: keeping up with each other unless you're doing zoom calls

125
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: and stuff like that throughout the year, which they do

126
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: do and they are on But of course we found

127
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: out seventeenth game for the regular season, so expanding from

128
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: sixteen to seventeen. So that'll be exciting, and it's exciting

129
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: to hear that the Bills will be hosting that seventeenth game.

130
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: They'll play against the Washington football team. And it totally

131
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: slipped my mind, which it shouldn't have. But when we

132
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: talked to Brandon Bean last night, he was like, Yeah,

133
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: we're playing against Washington football team and Ron Rivera, you know,

134
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of ties to that football team now,

135
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, of course, so, Fitzpatrick, Yeah, and

136
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: it's interesting you now you should you kind of glossed

137
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: over this. You Kim Pagoula and Brandon Bean sat down

138
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: had a long chat about everything Buffalo Bills along with

139
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: with what's going on the offseason and so, what are

140
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: some of the things you talked about with Kim and

141
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: Brandon on the podcast and that's that's gonna is that

142
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna drop today. I believe it's dropping today later this afternoon.

143
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: So I mean it was pretty informational. We got into

144
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: the owners meetings, we got into free agency, you know,

145
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, some prospects. But of course then you

146
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: want to ask Brandon about more of the fun stuff

147
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: that's going on, some of the things that are happening.

148
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: Now that we're in the off season. You know, we

149
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: hit off season mode and everybody relaxes a bit, which

150
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: I love because during the season, of course this past year,

151
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: we really weren't allowed to be in person or anything.

152
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: But now we're back in the office and you can

153
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: see the coaches walking through the hallway, and so it's

154
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: nice to be able to see people, be able to

155
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: talk to people, and since they're not prepping for games

156
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: every single week, like Sean will stop and talk to

157
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: us for ten or fifteen minutes, which he does anyways.

158
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: He just doesn't have the time to do that during

159
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: the season. So it's fun to have those conversations. It's

160
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: fun to see them in a more chill setting, in

161
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: a more chill light now that we're in the off season.

162
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: So Brandon talked about this weight loss competition that is

163
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: going on amongst a lot of the coaching staff, the

164
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: scouting department, trainers, nutrition, like pretty much everybody over at

165
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: one Bill Strive that's on the football side of things

166
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: can take part in this weight loss competition. UM and

167
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: Brandon is a part of it, and they they kind

168
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: of matched guys. So it's a paired system. So the

169
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: guys got matched like bigger guy, smaller guy. You get

170
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: matched together, and the winner takes home a prize and

171
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: it's being counted off of like the percent of weight

172
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: that you lose over time. So a skinnier guy could

173
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: lose only a couple of pounds, but it could be

174
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: a decent deal versus a bigger guy dropping maybe twenty

175
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: pounds or something. So it was funny to hear Brandon

176
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that he's in this weight loss competition. Um,

177
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: he's with Scobes, who is in the equipment staff. And

178
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: if I was partnered with Brandon, I would be so nervous,

179
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: Like you've got the weight on your shoulders, right, Yeah,

180
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: you're partnered with the with the GM. You know you

181
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: don't lose enough weight, your job's on the line. Maybe

182
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: I would be freaking out. So that's yeah, that's a

183
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Scobes has got his work, because that's got to be

184
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's got to be the guy who could

185
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: do the short straw what. He had some funny stories

186
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: just about that. Um Brian Dayball. We saw him the

187
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: other day. He was walking around the complex trying to

188
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: hand out soft pretzels to everybody because he was refusing

189
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: to eat them because he is so competitive. And I

190
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: think us as as fans, and we have heard how

191
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: competitive Brian Dayball is. Based on some answers from Josh

192
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: Allen and just offensive players on the Bills team. When

193
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: you bring up competition, Brian Dayball is always, you know,

194
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: named in that sentence off the field things. And so

195
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: he was trying to give out a bunch of soft

196
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: pretzels to everybody but himself because he, of course wants

197
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: to win this competition. UM. So talked about that, talked

198
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: about his golf game. He hasn't gotten out here yet.

199
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: I know there's only a couple of courses that are

200
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: open right now, but I guess he got a golf

201
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: simulator from the gula's because Kim and Terry got a

202
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: golf simulator for Matthew, and it didn't end up fitting

203
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: in their house. And so now Brandon has a right

204
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: it didn't fit in their house. I don't know how,

205
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: but AnyWho, So Brandon's been using that golf simulator. So

206
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: that some great stories, a great conversation that's going to

207
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: go out later this afternoon, probably about forty five fifty

208
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: minute podcast. I'll tell you a story about Brian Day

209
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Boland's golf. So I belonged to a club here locally,

210
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: and a couple other guys on the team belong there

211
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: as well, and everybody brought Dave's out. Right. Dave's came

212
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: out with you know, came out with one guy, played golf.

213
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: And then a couple of days later he's out with

214
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: another guy played golf, and I brought him out and

215
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: I played golf with him. I go back the owner

216
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: the club, pro comes out and Dave's is there again

217
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: with somebody else, and proh, what's that coach's name that

218
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: I go? Day bo, Brian day Boy. He goes, yeah,

219
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, he can't come out anymore, he's over the

220
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: club limit for being a guest. Well go talk to

221
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: go tell him. So he did. He had to take

222
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: a break for a month before he could come back

223
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: and start in again. You know, oh my god, because

224
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: he kept getting getting invited as a guest for everybody. So,

225
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: uh yeah, he plays a lot of He plays a

226
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: lot of golf, and he doesn't have to join any

227
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: place because everybody likes him me bring him out to

228
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: their own plays. He plays for free. Have you ever

229
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: been to one of the golf simulators or have you

230
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: played only tried it? Not not recently, not for a

231
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: long time. So I went for the first time this year,

232
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: and um, I'm just not good. Don't don't take me

233
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: to do a golf simulator with you, because we you know,

234
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: you hit twenty yards out and you're trying to chip

235
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: it in and I'm like swinging my wedge to go

236
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: fifty yards instead of twenty yards, and just the depth perception,

237
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, you're hitting into green versus like just seeing, okay,

238
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: here is where I need to hit this ball. And

239
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a green golfer anyways, and so putting me

240
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: on a simulator it's just not a good idea. I

241
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people. They're starting to become

242
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: more and more common because particularly up in the here Yeah,

243
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: it's a great idea, Yeah, because you can keep your

244
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: golf game going throughout the winter or whatever. You've got

245
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: a big enough place for it. You know, some people

246
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: just you know, snag one of the bays of the

247
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: garage or whatever and put those things. I think they're

248
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: pretty big. I've got a nephew who took the game up.

249
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: He bought and he's you know, he's young, singles, got

250
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: some cash, so he's those things can be expensive, like

251
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: the nicest ones run for like twenty six grand I think, right.

252
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: So he puts one of these up in his garage.

253
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: He's got a league. He's got people in his house

254
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: like four nights a week playing like Troon and and

255
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: bally Bunyan and all these others and all these you know,

256
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: old time courses and they got a league going. That

257
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: sounds pretty epic, pretty fun. Yeah, Yeah, I'd like to.

258
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: I gotta start researching those. Pop a couple of cold ones.

259
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: Right afternoon, when it's cold out and it's snowy, head

260
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: to your garage, hit some balls, play some golf. That's

261
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: what during the winter, some of the days that it

262
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: would be warmer, because you do get a couple of

263
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: those days in the beginning of the winter, at the

264
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: end of the winter, where it's like, oh, I can

265
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: go hit some balls today. And of course nowhere is

266
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: open outside, and for most of the season this year

267
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: inside was closed and so you couldn't go inside of

268
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: the domes. And so now here we are April one,

269
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: trying to get our hacks in. It's gonna be a

270
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: long road for me. I'll tell you that I've played

271
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: a little. So I played I think three, three or

272
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: four times. We had my partner and I my golfing buddy,

273
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: and we tried and did play every calendar month of

274
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: the year. That's all, but the February, the January February stretch. January,

275
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: we actually got it in better than we did. February

276
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: February is a short month and we had to. We

277
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: were out there and I just blow us in. Tell

278
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: the truth. We actually just drove out, got up on

279
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: the tea box in six inches of snow, hit one shot,

280
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: and then went back and said see you, yes, and

281
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: see you. So we actually just it's kind of count

282
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: We took pictures. So but now you know, we've played

283
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: three times during March already. It's been great, and people

284
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: getting out, but nothing because of what you just said.

285
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: I can't even it's I feel like I'm playing for

286
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: the first time. It's been so long. I can't get

287
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: the club back. That's how I usually feel for the

288
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: entire season. I've probably played more last season than I've

289
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: played since I worked at a country club. I worked

290
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: at a country club when I was in college, and

291
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: so I would get to golf with some of the

292
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: pros that we had. I put my clubs together from

293
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: sets that were found in the Lost and Found, so

294
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of Hodgepodge clubs, but it makes

295
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: a full set, and so got to start golfing when

296
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: I worked at the country club out in Missouri and

297
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: now have since started to pick it back up. Everything

298
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: slices right because I played softball, so I have to

299
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: angle my feet to get anything to go straight or

300
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: a little bit left. It is nearly impossible. But yeah,

301
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited for the warmer weather that we've been seeing.

302
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Excited to get back out there and not golf on

303
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: some simulators anymore, golf in real life. But something else

304
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: that came out from the owners meeting. We saw this

305
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: league memo come out. I think Tom Pellisero tweeted it

306
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: out first, but the fact that teams can start to

307
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: get back to in person work April nineteenth was the

308
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: date that they put out there. I know a lot

309
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: of stuff is still being figured out, so it's not

310
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: like all of this is official official, but it looks

311
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: like teams can start to bring back if players want

312
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: to come back for in person workouts now. I know

313
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: a lot of the meetings offseason meetings right now are

314
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: still going to be virtual and remote, because you can't

315
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: expect all the veterans to just rush back in here

316
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: April nineteen and be like, let's go lift, I've gotten

317
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: a great offseason, I'm ready to get back. A lot

318
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: of these guys are still going to be in California

319
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: and Arizona in Florida training with their off season trainers

320
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: and possibly out there for a couple months. You know,

321
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: who knows what's going to happen right now with OTA's

322
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: mini camps. We're still waiting for news on that as

323
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: the NFLPA in the NFL try and work things out

324
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: for this off season, but it seems like it's gonna

325
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: be a little less virtual, which I think is a positive.

326
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: What it does mean too, those like as early as

327
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: the nineteenth or somewhere in there, Guys who are in

328
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: the situation like I was as a player, where you

329
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: kind of gonna you kind of go and you're gonna

330
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: live and start working out, and you don't want to

331
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: have to go work out with You don't want to

332
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: spend the money on a private trainer and a guy

333
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: who comes in you know that kind of thing. You

334
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: just want to go to a place and have it convenient.

335
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: And if you live here in Buffalo, if you're one

336
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: of the players and you come up and got a

337
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,239
Speaker 1: place in Buffalo, just come into this place. They got

338
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: a whole staff waiting on it and it's free. Just

339
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: come in and take part. Yeah, they just poured millions

340
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: into this facility. You will never be able to buy

341
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: a membership at a gym that's better than this one

342
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: with the staff that they have. Yeah. So a lot

343
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: of guys take advantage of that, particularly young guys. And

344
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: I've I said this yesterday with Brownie and and it's

345
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: the way I was. You know, I lived here when

346
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: I got picked up off Waivers. We never we came up,

347
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: showed up overnight and never left. And one reason was

348
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: because of the facilities they had available here. There wasn't

349
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: a gym on every corner then like there is now, right,

350
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so you had to kind of search for

351
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: a good place to work out, and there was no

352
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: better place better than this. We had all everything had

353
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: the field would go out and throw we could do whatever.

354
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: And so a lot of guys that's still that mentality. Well,

355
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's so easy to get up, drive over there,

356
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: hop out the locker room. All the guys are or whatever, guys,

357
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: even the staff, I mean, you're you know when you're

358
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know, you know all the

359
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: equipment guys, the trainers, the medical staff, you guys, your

360
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: food too, and let alone, let alone the strength conditioning coaches.

361
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: So it's like a big family. It's like it's coming home,

362
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: you know. So you get a chance to go in

363
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: and do that, have fun, workout, work hard, be you know, supervised,

364
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: have a program laid out for you, somebody there to like,

365
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, you know, hit you, you know, light a

366
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: fire under on a bad day. It's a lot of

367
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: guys love to take advantage of that. So it looks

368
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: like in late air, mid late April, they're gonna be

369
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: able to come back in and you'll see a lot

370
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: of guys take advantage of it. I get it both ways.

371
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: I understand the veteran perspective of you know, I've been

372
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: in this league for seven plus years, and I have

373
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: my own off season regiment that I like and that

374
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: I trust to have my guy that I've been working

375
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: out with for five plus years. I am. I play

376
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: for a cold weather team. I want to spend this

377
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: summer in my ammy or California. I know how to

378
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: get my body ready for the season. I've been doing

379
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: this long enough. I don't need to come back early

380
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: because I know what it takes to get ready and

381
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: I trust myself and the coaches know what they're getting

382
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: for me too. But then the younger guys, some of

383
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: them aren't getting paid as much. You don't want to

384
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: spend the money on a personal trainer. Yes, and it's expensive.

385
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: Rent is expensive in California. If you want to live

386
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: in California or wherever you're going to be, it's cheaper

387
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: to be out here in Buffalo. You have that perfect

388
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: weight room, you have the strength staff, like you said,

389
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: and you get to be around the strength staff and

390
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: you get to be around people that you know you're

391
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: around for half the year when the season starts. And

392
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: I spoke with Daryl Johnson. We were doing an interview

393
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: with him. This was back when we really said Black

394
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: History Month piece and I don't remember. I think he

395
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: was in Atlanta, and I was like, what do you

396
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: feel like, would you rather have a virtual offseason or

397
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: you rather be here in person? He was like, you know,

398
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: for me, I'm a late round pick. I would rather

399
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: be in person for OTAs and mini camps and be

400
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: out here as early as possible, because, look, I'm still

401
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: trying to prove myself. I'm still trying to learn about

402
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: this defense. This is going to be my third year.

403
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: I want to prove to them that I know what

404
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing, and I want to still learn from them

405
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: and learn from the people around me. I would rather

406
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: be here doing everything than on my own virtually. So

407
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: I understand both sides of the argument, and it'll be

408
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: interesting to see, you know, what comes out in the

409
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: next few weeks or months, as more information gets released

410
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: and as the NFLP and the NFL kind of figure

411
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: out what's best for both sides. But it's cool that,

412
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, as vaccines are becoming more available as more

413
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 1: people are able to get them if they choose to

414
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: do so. That we're starting to see a little bit

415
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: more normalcy be a thing that is a part of

416
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: the conversation for this season. Yeah, and it's it's every

417
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: guy's different, and it's hard for the league to get

418
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: every get put something together that pleases all two thousand

419
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be in the league. And

420
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: certainly this is the same thing for the Union. The

421
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: Union could do it one way, and a lot of

422
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: the players would wish the Union, their own union would

423
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: do it differently. They're all different. And for you, what

424
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: you said the veterans is true. They get into a

425
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: rhythm where they got what they're doing. On a lot

426
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: of these guys, the thing that you forget is they're

427
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: all just playing people like all of us. Most of

428
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot of them have wives and kids. They who

429
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: want to go back and live with grandpa and grandpa

430
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: were back in the hometown where they were. They got

431
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: all this other stuff going on. They got a business

432
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: they want to run, they got a brand they want

433
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: to promote as well. All of this stuff that's going

434
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: on outside of football, and that has as much to

435
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: do with and sometimes even more to do with their

436
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: concerns about the offseason where they're going to spend it

437
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: as where they're gonna train. Does so every guy's different,

438
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: but I think in a perfect world, you know, the

439
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: league would allow guys to do it completely voluntary, do

440
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: what's best for them and their families, without pressure from

441
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, or the incentive really like you to come,

442
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: spend for you. You make one hundred k if you

443
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: get here by this certain day, that's fine. If they

444
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: want to add money to it, the guys can make

445
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: that decisions. Yeah. They can say yeah, I'll do it

446
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: for one hundred grand, or they can say, no, you

447
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: know what, I'm making fifteen million, one hundred grand don't

448
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: mean anything to me, thank you very much. I'm gonna

449
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: spend that. I'm gonna spend it in Florida with my family,

450
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: or I got a sick mom or a dad, or

451
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: my mom and dad aren't doing well physically and I

452
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: want to be there for them. So I'm gonna stay,

453
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: you know, and not have that pressure of saying, you know,

454
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: missing out on something. I mean, they proved this season

455
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: that I can all be done virtually and that guys

456
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: can still be ready and feel ready by the time

457
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: the season starts for week one, even if you are virtual.

458
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: When Darryl Williams resigned with the Bills, he was asked

459
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: about how his body felt, and you know, last two

460
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: years ago he was healthy. Was his first year being healthy.

461
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: Three years ago was when he had that injury and

462
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: he was out for almost the entire season, So he

463
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: was getting back into it in twenty nine, twenty twenty.

464
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: This past season, he really felt healthy. And one thing

465
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: that he said was I loved the break that we

466
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: had because I truly felt like I could have like

467
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: my body actually had a break. You know, you play

468
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: late in the playoffs. It's January or February, and then

469
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: you have like half of February, you have March, and

470
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: then you're back here in April. It doesn't seem like

471
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: enough time for some of these playoff teams for you

472
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: to truly reset your body. When you are a veteran

473
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: and you do have this wear and tear in these

474
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: miles on your body, that maybe take a couple extra

475
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: weeks of true relaxation and a break to make sure

476
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: you're okay come week one, Because like you said, These

477
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: guys are trained professionals. They know their bodies best. But

478
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: another thing that came out with that seventeenth game that

479
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: we found out about is that there's going to be

480
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: three preseason games. And I think this offseason we realized

481
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: how important preseason games were, and I think some of

482
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: the veterans also realize that even if they're only getting

483
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: two quarters of play in those few preseason games, it's

484
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: worth it. Because remember our defense explaining how it took

485
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: them some time. It took to like week three to

486
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: get back into tackling because you don't go live in

487
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: practice and in training camp all the time. You might

488
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: do that maybe a day or two for a period

489
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: or two of practice, but you're not hitting like you're

490
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: hitting in a game. And I remember Micah Hyde and

491
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: a lot of the defensive players say it took us

492
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: a couple games to get back to where we're at

493
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: in a tackling mindset type of way. That's what preseason

494
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: gave us. So I think having those three preseason games

495
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: is a good idea for everybody. Yeah, I think that

496
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: seems like a no brainer to me. And I've had

497
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: coaches tell me when if you you know, if you

498
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: backed them into a corner. If you backed him into

499
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: a corner, they'd say, listen, give us a couple three

500
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: weeks to get acclimated, get us some you know, install

501
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: some offense, and do all that. Give us a couple

502
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: of preseason games. Then another week or so or two weeks,

503
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: and then we're ready. You know, we can be ready.

504
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: That's what they really need, and all the off season

505
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: stuff that just makes it go smoother once they actually

506
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: start installing stuff that what they really do, isn't they

507
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: just start teaching them the language first of all. You know,

508
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: what's this mean? What's that mean? And that's basically all

509
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: it is for the off season, because in season it's

510
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,479
Speaker 1: all game planning. Yeah, you just say, hey, do this

511
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: against these guys, and we're gonna do this. All right,

512
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: that's it. And here's the you know, you just start

513
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: speaking the words and they happen if you know the words.

514
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: So that's that's basically what the off season's all about,

515
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 1: is getting guys aclimated, getting them to know each other,

516
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: getting them to know their coaches and all of that,

517
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: and making them feel comfortable in the building, getting them in,

518
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, making sure they're in shaping stuff, and then

519
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: the rest of it is just here's what we're gonna do,

520
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: and you know, that's that's basically it. And I think

521
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: for most people, for fans, I think the people ain't

522
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: listening to us, and maybe man for me as an

523
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: old guy, we don't. It's the preseason really matter to us.

524
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: And then the offseason certainly doesn't. You're just watching the

525
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: draft and who's gonna be on the team, that kind

526
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 1: of thing. If as long as it's fair and all

527
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: thirty two teams do the same thing, but just do it.

528
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Just shut up and get me to the preseason. You know,

529
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't care two preseason gets fine, fine, seventeen fine,

530
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: let's just get started. I don't care what you just

531
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: as long as it's fair and one team doesn't get

532
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: to have all these practices and all these padded practices

533
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: and does it and we don't get to have any

534
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: That's the only thing we're fighting is just keep it fair.

535
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: All thirty two teams with the same rules and act,

536
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, and doing the same things within you know,

537
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: within their purview, let's go. And I think that's what

538
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: most of us feel like, um, because last year proved

539
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: that they can happen. So that's where I'm at with it.

540
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, just have to figure it out, just do

541
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: it off. As long as everybody's doing it the same goal,

542
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Yeah, Yeah, I like those vibes. We're

543
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna take a break, but when we come back, we

544
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,640

Speaker 1: get right before this next season? What have you been

567
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 1: up to in Miami? You know, I was getting back

568
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: into training and getting the body you know, back right

569
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,040

570
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: it's time to get back to work now. Man, How

571
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: give us a little rundown about the conversations about coming

572
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: to Buffalo and playing and you know you were in

573
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 1: You only spent a year in Miami. You spent some

574
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: really quality time in San Francisco before that. Give us

575
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: an idea of now that you're gonna move to another team,

576
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: you're kind of you're you've been around the block. You

577
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: know how this game works. I mean, give us an

578
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: idea about how the inner workings of this conversation went. Uh, yeah,

579
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just feel like, you know, it was

580
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: the best uh you know fit for me moving forward. Um,

581
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 1: you know, I love Miami the organization. I think then

582
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: for the opportunity they gave me m but you know,

583
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: just as they were the best fit for me going forward.

584
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: And uh, you know I heard, you know, they had

585
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: interest in me last year obviously you know I was restricted,

586
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: I had that tender on me, so, um, you know

587
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: I had little say so you know what I could do.

588
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm just happy to be part of

589
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: the organization now. Um. I see that they're moving in

590
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: a great direction. You know, last year they were one

591
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: game away from the super Bowl, and you know that's

592
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: where I want to get back to. You know, I

593
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: was already there before, so I'm trying to get back there.

594
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: I know when you met with the media last week

595
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: over zoom, you said that you spoke with Emmanuel Sanders

596
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: and Tyler Bass before signing with the Bills and that

597
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: you have known them before coming to the Buffalo Bills.

598
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: So what did they both have to say about the organization.

599
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: I know Emmanuel Sanders is you know, new to Buffalo

600
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: as well, but Tyler has been on this team for

601
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: a season. So what did these guys have to say

602
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: about the Bills that really made you feel good about

603
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: coming here? Um? Really, you know, just just you know,

604
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: like you were saying, the Manuels new So me and him,

605
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, we talked and you know I played with

606
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: him before and with the Niners, and uh, you know,

607
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: he just overall great dude, and you know it'd just

608
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 1: be cool, you know, to play with him again. And

609
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: then going back to Bass, you know, he's he's been

610
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: here for a year and uh, you know, he just

611
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: said nothing but good things about the team, the coaches,

612
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: and just the entire organization. How it's you know, almost

613
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: like a family. And you know, I feel like that's

614
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: one of the key ingredients, you know, into getting to

615
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: where we want to go to. So I'm excited to

616
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: be here. Last year, you were in the in the

617
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: division with Buffalo looking at him from the other side

618
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: of the of the field. What was the what was

619
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: the view of the Dolphins up Buffalo? Certainly the Bills

620
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: were having a fantastic year, Um, and your team came

621
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: in last year Week seventeen with a chance to win

622
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: it and get in it, Um, and you know too,

623
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: it was there Fitch was out of the lineup. Give

624
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: us an idea of what the attitude coming into Buffalo

625
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: was when the Bills were playing so well. But yet

626
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: you guys had put together pretty good season yourself. Uh

627
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, we felt like we were right there with him.

628
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: You know, we had, you know, like you said, put

629
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: a good together, great season. Everyone was playing well, and

630
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: we were like, you know, as long as we take

631
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: care of business, you know, we control, we controlled our

632
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: own destiny. You know, at the end of the day,

633
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: we'd ended up doing that. And uh so happened that

634
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: day to the other three teams that were one of

635
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: the three teams that we needed to lose all of

636
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: them one. So, you know, just didn't work out for us.

637
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: But overall, you know, I feel like we had a

638
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: good season, and you know, I feel like those guys

639
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: are going in the right direction too. What do you

640
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: think you can bring to this Buffalo Bills team. I know,

641
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: when we came out with the announcement that we were

642
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: signing you, a lot of people are really excited about

643
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: the speed that you can bring to this offense. And

644
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: that's one thing that the Bills we're looking to add

645
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: to this offense. In the off season, was that speed?

646
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: And I think you checked that box. So including speed,

647
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: what do you think you can help this team with?

648
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, just overall? You know my experience, you know,

649
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: like I said, I've been to a Super Bowl four.

650
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: I know what a Super Bowl team, winning team looks like.

651
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: And I feel like the Bills have that, you know,

652
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: I feel like they created that environment. And uh, like

653
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: I said before, I'm just happy to be here. And

654
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, whatever role they want me to do, I'm

655
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna do. And like I said then, and dads want

656
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: to win. What did they tell you about? Um? The

657
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: way they run their offense certainly, um, Zack Moss and

658
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. I mean they run those guys back and

659
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 1: forth off the field. You were in the same kind

660
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: of situation both in San Francisco and in Miami. Is

661
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: that what a lot of teams do these days? How

662
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: do they how do they present that to you guys

663
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: who actually run the football? How do they present this

664
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: committee backfield idea to you guys? Um? You know, like

665
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: I always keep telling people, I said, you can't be

666
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: selfish in this game, especially if you want to, you know,

667
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: get to that level. Um. You know, it's a long season.

668
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Now we had another game, you know, to the to

669
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: the season with seventeen now, and you know you gotta

670
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: have guys ready to play at anytime. You don't know

671
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: what could happen. And Um, at the end of the day,

672
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: for me, at least, it's not about you know, the

673
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: stats or the touchdowns. You know, I just want to win.

674
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: And I feel like you know, um, Zach and Devin

675
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: and them and the whole team wants to do the

676
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: same thing. So like I said, thing, we're all gonna

677
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: be ready to play. Um. You know, I expect all

678
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: of us to play. So it's gonna be a great year.

679
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: I know you said it's not always about the staff.

680
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at your stats here, and you know

681
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen twenty nineteen, you had those two two really

682
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: great years with the forty nine ers, and your yards

683
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: per carry were five point three in twenty eighteen and

684
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: five point one in twenty nineteen. What is it about

685
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: the style of your play that you think allowed you

686
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: to get that much per carry? Um? Probably just the

687
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: way I round the football. You know, I'm a big

688
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, north and South guy. Um. You know, I

689
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: don't people always you know, say well, you know, you're

690
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: not that big, and you know they think I'm gonna

691
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: want to run outside of time. A matter of fact,

692
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: I love running inside a lot, so you know, but

693
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: I like I've been doing that since I was a

694
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: little kid and just football at the end of the day,

695
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: and uh, I think it's just the way I run.

696
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: Why is it that a guy like you who is

697
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: undrafted out of Georgia's Southern and now you kind of

698
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: you're a sought after commodity. What has made what was

699
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: the difference maker for you? Because you certainly if there's

700
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: a ton of guys draft ahead of you and a

701
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that make it what what has set

702
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: you apart in your career that you're a five year

703
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: NFL run running back with a with a nice career going.

704
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: Why is it that a guy like you could slip

705
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: through the cracks on draft day and even even given

706
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: your your physical skills and become a success. What sets

707
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: you apart? Um? You know, I think just a mindset,

708
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, and just things that you go through in

709
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 1: life that you know make you who you are today.

710
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: And you know everything's not going to go away all

711
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: the time. You know, obviously you feel like you want

712
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: to be drafted, you want to hear your name called

713
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: on the day, but you know, things don't work out.

714
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: And I look at it's like as long as you

715
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: you know, takes one team, as long as you make

716
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: it on one team, it doesn't matter. You know, you

717
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: just got to have you know, take the opportunity and

718
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: run with it at the end of the day. And

719
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: I feel like guys that do that just you know,

720
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: stick to the dreams and their goals. They can accompisatething

721
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: they want to so um at the end of the day,

722
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, just be confident yourself. I know you said

723
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: also when you talk to the media that one thing

724
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: that you liked about the Bills, which you've already talked about,

725
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: is you know, this culture. But that's what you also

726
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: had at the forty nine ers doing that Super Bowl

727
00:35:55,520 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: year was being able to be tighten it as group

728
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: and as a family. So what did you have within

729
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers that you think really allowed you

730
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: to get to the Super Bowl? Oh? I think we

731
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: just lost connection with Matt Breeda. Although he's um some

732
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: pretty interesting stuff we've talked to him about he UM.

733
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: He got into UM the mindset that he had, And

734
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was really interesting because I was a

735
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: very late drowned draft pick and he was undrafted, and

736
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: it's just he's right, you just need one chance. You

737
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: just need one chance and one team. And certainly he

738
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: made the most of his chance with the forty nine ers.

739
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: And I think it's really telling too that he had

740
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: a couple of very good years. Uh. And now we've

741
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: got Matt Matt Breeda back with us. UH and Maddy

742
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: go ahead and asked me, Yeah, so I know when

743
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: you dropped off, I was probably made question. You probably

744
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: got the gist of what I was asking you. But

745
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: just that Super Bowl year with the forty nine Ers

746
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: where you explained like the locker room was tight, it

747
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: was that family type atmosphere that the Buffalo Bills have.

748
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: How important do you think that was in your run

749
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and the fact that you guys

750
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: were able to make it all the way there. I

751
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: think it's extremely important, especially like I said before, you

752
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: have guys doing here that you know, unfortunately, because the

753
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: nature of our game, that go down, so you guys

754
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: that can't step up and then you know, turn out

755
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: to be starters, and you know, you can count out

756
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: everyone on the team. It goes a long way, and

757
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: then that just that bond, you know, knowing that you

758
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: want to play for your brother next to you knowing

759
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: that you want to play for your coach. It's just

760
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: that extra step, you know that I think that you

761
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: need to have on a team like that if you

762
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: want to, you know, get to that level play. What's

763
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: been the two questions actually, Matt one? What would the

764
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: players really like this offseason to look like? After going

765
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: through what they went through last year? I don't think

766
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: anybody wants to go through that again. Although you had

767
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: a lot of free time and a lot of zoom

768
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: meetings and all that. Some of that was okay, But

769
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: what do the players really want this offseason? What would

770
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: they like to have this offseason look like? I know

771
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: it hasn't been decided yet on either side. What are

772
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: the players talking about? What they'd like to see? You know,

773
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: I think just something up and normalcy, you know, going

774
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: back to you know how it was before COVID. Obviously

775
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: things ain't gonna be like that. I don't think so,

776
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: just because you know how the numbers and everything are looking,

777
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: and you know, we want to keep players safe, but

778
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think just some type of normously where

779
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully, you know, we can go into building

780
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: at least once twice a week. And you know, I

781
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: think you missed that camaradie with the guys, you know,

782
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: seeing them because you don't get to see him all

783
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: the way until training camp, and especially know what the

784
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: rookies coming in, they don't get to meet, you know,

785
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: any of us or you know, get a feel for

786
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: how it's gonna be like. So, I mean, I think

787
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: guys I said on that, you know, I think the most.

788
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: But hey, you know, we adapted last year and we

789
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: able to get to the season. So you know, I

790
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: feel like the league and the NFLPA will have the

791
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: yard bench interest at heart, and you know they'll find

792
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: a way for us to get to the season all season.

793
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of some camaraderie that's already happening online on Twitter,

794
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: I saw that Isaah McKenzie has already started to poke

795
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: you and the fact that he wants to race you

796
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: and see who's going to be the fastest player on

797
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I don't know if you've known Isaam

798
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: McKenzie prior to coming the Buffalo's bills. But he is

799
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: the loudest person in the locker room. He never stops joking,

800
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: he never stops pranking. He will he will pick a

801
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: fight with anybody. He is just always talking and always

802
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: saying something. So he has challenged you to a fight,

803
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: not a fight, a race. Are you excited to race

804
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: against this crazy, wonderful person that's on our team? Oh yeah,

805
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: man Ila, it's a great guy. Um. You know I

806
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: played against the back in college. I think it was

807
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: my junior year and uh, when he was at Georgia,

808
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: we went to triple overtime and they beat us. So

809
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: I still owe him. So hopefully, you know, I can

810
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: redeem us by you know, getting him in the race.

811
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: But you know, it'll be fun when we race. I

812
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are interested in that, so

813
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Yeah, you gotta film it too.

814
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: Have the guys that film practice film Matt, so we

815
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: can put it on the show. It'll be fun. Yeah,

816
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: one last last one for me, Matt. What was it like?

817
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: What's your conversation with Sean McDermott, and if if other

818
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: coach and the coaching staff as well. Have you talked

819
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: to any of the coaching staff, the guy as you'll

820
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: be working directly with. How how have those early conversations gone.

821
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: They're gone great. You know. One of the great things

822
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: I can say about him is like, it's like I said,

823
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: it's like a family. You know. I talked to a

824
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: lot of them, seawans to get UM, a lot of

825
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: those guys, and you know, it makes you feel like, no,

826
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: they want you, they want to be part of this

827
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: team and they want you to succeed. And you know

828
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: we have coaches like that. Um, you just want to

829
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: do everything you can for them, everything on the line

830
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: for him, and I feel like the rest of the

831
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: guys on the team feel the same way. That's awesome, Matt.

832
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the time. We appreciate it.

833
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: We're excited to get you here in Buffalo whenever that maybe. Um,

834
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: I think this signing makes so much sense and I

835
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: think you can bring a lot to this offense. So

836
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: we're we're going to be excited to see on the

837
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: field here whenever that happens. But appreciate the time. Have

838
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: a good rest of your weekend in Miami. Steve, that

839
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: was great to talk to him. Seems like a great guy. Yeah,

840
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: we We tried to get him on over the weekend.

841
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: Something popped up with his family. Could he just you know,

842
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: something gotten the way. I don't know what it was,

843
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: nothing serious or anything. He just couldn't get to a phone,

844
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: couldn't get to his computer. So it's nice that we

845
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: finally got him on here Thursday, before the before the

846
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: weekend hits. He Uh, he's got that. He's different than

847
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: some of the guys interview. He answers the question and

848
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: shuts up. You know, it's nice for us because we

849
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions in Yeah and uh, but

850
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: it's obviously this he is. He has a veteran presence

851
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: about him, and it's obvious that he's been on a

852
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: couple of teams and been through some stuff in the

853
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: league because he's he's just a matter of fact. And Yeah,

854
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: I like that. I like the mindset that you get

855
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: from a player like that who nothing is ever given.

856
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's an undrafted was an undrafted rookie free

857
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: agent out of Georgia's Southern you know, went to the

858
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, got that one opportunity and made it work.

859
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: And now he's going into his fifth year in the NFL.

860
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: Of course, on the Miami Dolphins, they had that room

861
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: full of running back, so he didn't get maybe the

862
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: touches that he wanted to. But we heard him say,

863
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: it's it's not about how many touches I get. It's

864
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: just about us winning football games. So I like that

865
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: that presence already. I like that attitude that he's going

866
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: to bring to a group of young guys. You know,

867
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is still young, Zach Moss is still very young.

868
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: Of course he's heading into his second year. Devin Singletary's

869
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: heading into his third season. But I think he could

870
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: bring a nice veteran presence to that room. Yeah, I

871
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: think he's looking forward to it, no question about it.

872
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: I think it's fresh start. Is always that just that,

873
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: a fresh start, And I think from what the interactions

874
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: he's had with a coaching staff in front office and

875
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: the fact that they admitted they wanted him last year

876
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: when he's restricted agent, that that goes a lot. That

877
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: goes a long way. What you said at the very

878
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: beginning of that where he knows he was an undrafted guy.

879
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: It just occurred to me when you said that where

880
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: you get drafted and how you break into the NFL

881
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: never leaves you. Whether you're a first round draft pick,

882
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: a late round draft pick, or undrafted. You carry that

883
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: with you through your career as motivation, as empowerment, as

884
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: as you know, as a badge of honor or or

885
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: the other a chip on your shoulder. And it's interesting

886
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: to see how that affects each guy, and because it

887
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: is different for everybody. You know, me, I was, you know,

888
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: you're you're always kind of I kind of wore it

889
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: as a badge of honor, like, you know, I'm gonna

890
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: hang in here when nobody thought I could play, when

891
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't really look like a player, you know,

892
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: And so I kind of wore that as a badge

893
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: of honor. And I know the guys that are undrafted

894
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: who come in and make a really good career for

895
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: themselves count that as a and they do from other

896
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: players get a level of respect for that, for the

897
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: fact that nobody thought they could do it and they

898
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: did so good. On Matt Brita, I asked him about that,

899
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: and he's right, you kind of wear that as a

900
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: used as motivation and it's kind of cool to hear.

901
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll fit in just fine in Buffalo seems

902
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: like one of those guys that can just fit in

903
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: the locker room right away. We're gonna take a break

904
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: when we come back. We've got a couple more guests

905
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: coming up. Armando salgarat want to clock Greg Cosell at

906
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: two o'clock. Don't go anywhere. This One Bills Live presented

Speaker 1: is this ed Oliver's last chance for breakout? He hasn't

917
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: played badly, but certainly he hasn't looked like a top

918
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: ten talent so far. I know the analytics say he

919
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: gets decent pressure on quarterbacks, but at some point I

920
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: want to see actual sacks. What do you think we

921
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: all want to see actual sacks. But I don't think

922
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: this is at Oliver's last chance for a breakout. I

923
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: don't think I would expect him though, And I'm not

924
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: saying this is a hard and fast rule, but generally speaking,

925
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: most teams when they get a guy in his third

926
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 1: year who's been in the same system, expected a little

927
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: jump in his production, like we saw with Josh Allen

928
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: last year, in his third year in the same system.

929
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: It will, you know, it'll, We'll see, But I don't

930
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: think it's his last chance. No. I think he has

931
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: played well. Certainly he's not. He has not played like

932
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: an Aaron Donald from the defensive tackle spot. But nobody was,

933
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: you know, nobody was really jumping up and down over

934
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: how happy they were with the defensive line and the

935
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: and the pressure the pass rush last year. But it

936
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: did not. It didn't. I don't think it lost a

937
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: bunch of games for the Bills. And I think this

938
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: the status in the league is, and the trend in

939
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: the league now is that you know, the Bills face

940
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot of teams to get the ball out quick,

941
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: and I think teams do that as a rule. It's

942
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: hard to get sacks. I'm not saying that it's the

943
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: same for everybody, but I think the Bills are fairly

944
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: I think they've proven it with their free agent signings

945
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: and with their drafting. They do put some emphasis on

946
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: those front four. And I'm sure they want Ed to

947
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: play better, but I do expect him to think I

948
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: do expect him to get some help from Starlo to

949
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: Lele getting back in the lineup with his experience. And no,

950
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they're unhappy with Ed Oliver. I think

951
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: they expect him to play better and they think I

952
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: think they believe he can, and I think I agree

953
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: with all of that. Yeah, And I think it's important

954
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: to not just point the finger at Ed. Yes, I agree.

955
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: I want more sacks out at Oliver too. I think

956
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: we all do. But last season, you had a new

957
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: defensive line coach in Eric Washington, who was trying to

958
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: put what he wanted to put what he wanted in

959
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: the defensive line, as in how he coaches, what he expects,

960
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: how he wants a defensive line to flow. And there

961
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 1: was this narrative in the beginning of the season last

962
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: year and like, we're going to use a lot of

963
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: different guys we're going to rotate. It's going to be

964
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: like hockey lines coming in and out. We want fresh

965
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: legs on the defensive line so we can rush the

966
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: passer even better, even quicker, And that necessarily didn't work

967
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: how it was expected to work. So then they kind

968
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: of got back to their old ways from twenty nineteen,

969
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: where you really have your solidified for rather than just

970
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: rotating through guys throughout the entire game, and the defensive

971
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: line I think was able to kind of feel okay

972
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: in that. But I think next year we can expect

973
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: even more out of the guys that we have. I

974
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: know everybody wants an edge rusher to help Jerry Hughes out,

975
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: and that would be nice too, but I think we

976
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: do have some good players here that can put something

977
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: together that we can be proud of that they can

978
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: get more pressure sending just four with the guys that

979
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: we have. I do think Starr is going to help

980
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: Ed out. I think Ed was tasked with doing a

981
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: lot more that maybe not a lot, but more than

982
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 1: expected this past season because they didn't have that inside

983
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: presence without someone like Starr, who remember in twenty nineteen,

984
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily get a lot of Sacks, but he was

985
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: the protector on the inside and was able to make

986
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: other guys shine because of taking all of that on

987
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: so right, and they you know, with the signing of

988
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: fa Obada, and I've said this earlier, another Carolina guy.

989
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: I like fa Obata better than I like Trent Murphy

990
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: last year even now, and I certainly he's a much

991
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: more physically gifted guy. We'll see if his production matches that.

992
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: But every time, every chance you get better, every time

993
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: you get better, you're gonna get better. I think Starlot

994
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: Lelay improves them. Stars emergence and reentry into the lineup

995
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: is going to help them, So I think there's a

996
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: reason to feel they're going to be at least a

997
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: little better physically. Yeah, And we'll see if that's enough

998
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: to get him over the hump. But I get it

999
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: too though. A lot of the guys coming back this

1000
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: year are the same as they were last year, with

1001
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: a few exceptions, and we'll see if those exceptions and

1002
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: the development of the guys that are that are there

1003
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: puts them into a better spot this year. I think

1004
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: we can expect good things, but we've got to take

1005
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: a break when we come back We're going to talk

1006
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: to Miami Harold Sports calumnists Armando sell Garrow. He's coming

1007
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: on to talk about everything going down with the Dolphins,

1008
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: what their offseason is looking like, what we can expect

1009
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: of them for this next season. So stick with us here.

1027
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: with us. We appreciate the time. We just had one

1028
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins former running backs on who's one

1029
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bill's newest running backs. Matt Burrita joined

1030
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: us for a couple minutes to talk about his time

1031
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: in Miami, his time in the NFL, and why he's

1032
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 1: excited to now be a Buffalo Bill. I know in

1033
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: Miami last season he was a part of a room

1034
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: that was pretty full of running backs. He only started

1035
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: in one game played in twelve. He had fifty nine

1036
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: carries for two hundred and fifty four yards. So not

1037
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: the work that he's put on display during his time

1038
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers. But what type of running

1039
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: back was he in Miami? What can Buffalo Bills fans

1040
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: expect out of him in twenty twenty one? Yeah, so

1041
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. He was a running back that

1042
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: really didn't get his legs under him, to be frank

1043
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: in Miami. You know, he came to the Dolphins. They

1044
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: traded a fifth round pick for him and there was

1045
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement among the fan base that he

1046
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: might be that change of pace home run hitter, because

1047
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: that's what he's been or had been with the San

1048
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers. He came to the Dolphins with

1049
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: a five plus yard per carry average, a lot of speed,

1050
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: a lot of potentials to get outside and break one,

1051
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 1: and that never happened with the Dolphins. And I would

1052
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: guess to one of the main reasons that's never happened

1053
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: his number one, he didn't get too many opportunities. And

1054
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: number two, you know, the Dolphins offensive line did not

1055
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: compare with the San Francisco forty nine Ers Super Bowl

1056
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: championship or a Super Bowl contending offensive line from the

1057
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 1: year before, so those things worked against him. He never

1058
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: really you know, I don't know if it was a

1059
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: practice situation where the coaches just couldn't get comfortable with them,

1060
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: but it was just one of those things where it

1061
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: just wasn't a factor for him. At the end of

1062
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,919
Speaker 1: the day, when we've watched from here in Buffalo, watched

1063
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins trade out of the number three spot

1064
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: back to the number twelve, back to the number sixth spot,

1065
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: we still don't know who they're gonna take, But we

1066
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: did that give us any information about how they feel

1067
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: about twa tongov Iloa. It gave us all the information

1068
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:40,280
Speaker 1: that we needed because it basically said, to a Tonga

1069
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: Law is the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins in twenty

1070
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: twenty one. And really, you know, I watched ESPN and

1071
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: the NFL Network, and God bless him. I love to

1072
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: be entertained by them, but some of their takes are

1073
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: just kind of ridiculous, especially when they say, well, all

1074
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: you people down in Miami talking about drafting a quarterback

1075
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: and replacing Tuah, there's literally not one soul in South

1076
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 1: Florida who was saying that. The only the only idea

1077
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: of Tah not being the quarterback for the Dolphins in

1078
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one was if they would have traded for Deshaunson,

1079
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: who is better than to a Tonguo by law, And

1080
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: that's not you know, the debate. There's no one that's

1081
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: coming on the TWA side and saying two is better

1082
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: than Deshaun Watson. That's just not happening. So that was

1083
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 1: the only thought. Obviously, the fact that Watson now is

1084
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: embroiled and what is it twenty one suits now alleging

1085
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: all sorts of you know, abuse and harassment of a

1086
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: sexual nature that has gone by the wayside, so to

1087
00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: a Tonga law, is the guy now tongue of I

1088
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,919
Speaker 1: being the guy? I follow a bunch of Miami Beat

1089
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: reporters and nobody was saying that he wasn't the guy.

1090
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: I After that trade happened, I saw a couple of

1091
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: people tweet like, this proves what we've been saying all

1092
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: off season, and that Ta is going to be the

1093
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: guy this coming season. And now it makes sense based

1094
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: off that trade. I mean to see a trade like

1095
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: that go down and to see it at first happened

1096
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers and then the Eagles get involved,

1097
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you thinking as someone who covers

1098
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: that team? I mean, blockbuster trades like that in the

1099
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 1: first round don't happen every single year, and so to

1100
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 1: be a part of covering a team that was involved

1101
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,919
Speaker 1: in that, I mean, what were some of your first reactions. Well,

1102
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: that's a lot of activity. I just don't know if

1103
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot of achievement. And the

1104
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: reason that I say that is when the Dolphins went

1105
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: from number three to number twelve, and then back up

1106
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: to number six. Before all of that happened, they assured

1107
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: themselves of of having the choice of their highest rated

1108
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: or the highest rated non quarterback on the board. In

1109
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: other words, we knew that the first three picks were

1110
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: going to be quarterback the Dolphins had the rest of

1111
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: the field, or the first two picks were going to

1112
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: be quarterbacks and the Dolphins had the rest of the field.

1113
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: Now they're effectively behind the three quarterbacks in one, two, three,

1114
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 1: And there's a possibility that Atlanta and Cincinnati, or Atlanta

1115
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: or Cincinnati could go ahead and pick a Jamar Chase,

1116
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: who's a wide receiver from LSU, or the tight end

1117
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: for Florida Kyle Pitt. And suddenly, if those two teams

1118
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: do those two things, the Dolphins went from having the

1119
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,959
Speaker 1: pick of the field to their third best pick, which

1120
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: is probably DeVonta Smith from Alabama, who is the Heisman

1121
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 1: Trophy winner and who is amazing for Alabama, but isn't

1122
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: as good a prospect as either Chase or Pitt. Who. Now, Okay,

1123
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: so who do the Miami Dolphins pick at six? What's

1124
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: the what's the prevailing thought? Right? Well, it all depends

1125
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: on who's on the board. If Jamar Chase, Pitts and

1126
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: Smith are on the board, it's not Smith. It's one

1127
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: of those other two, and it's probably Jamar Chase. If

1128
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,479
Speaker 1: you know two of the three are on the board,

1129
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: you Pitts or Chase ahead of Smith. And if only

1130
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: Smith is on the board, then Smith. Right now, we're

1131
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: like a month away from the NFL Draft now, April first.

1132
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: The NFL Draft begins April twenty nine. What have the

1133
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins done in free agency that has now set them

1134
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: up for the draft? That's you know, just three or

1135
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: four weeks away. Here they signed four thousand and seven

1136
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven linebackers, none of them starters. So

1137
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Dolphins, they had thirty two million dollars

1138
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: in cap space when it all began. They're nine million now.

1139
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: The signature move that they made was they added Will

1140
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: Fuller on a one year contract for ten million dollars

1141
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: from the Houston Texans, and that that's the big move

1142
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: for them because that offense needs speed the off season.

1143
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: As we were discussing earlier, it's about loading up for

1144
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: Tuah and so Will Fuller fills that that need. And

1145
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: by the way, not fully fills because, like we just discussed,

1146
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna draft more playmakers here in the first round.

1147
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: Beyond that, they got a bunch of you know, depth guys.

1148
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: Four of them linebackers they lost or didn't lose, but

1149
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: they gave up. They cut Kyle van Noy who resigned

1150
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. They traded Shack Lawson, who everyone in

1151
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo is familiar with. They traded him to Houston. So

1152
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: they lost ten sacks that they had last year. They

1153
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: didn't replace those sacks, so they have to find away

1154
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: in the draft to replace, you know, some of that

1155
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: edge pressure. Well, if you go back and get the

1156
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,959
Speaker 1: ripple effects as to why Miami has so many draft

1157
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: picks and so high draft picks, will they pick somebody

1158
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: in this draft to replace Laramie Tunsil, Well, they did

1159
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: that kind of They hope last year they picked a

1160
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: left tackle in the first round. Austin Jackson. Is he

1161
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Laramie Tunsel, No, definitely not. He He didn't perform like that,

1162
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: But the Dolphins are hoping that, you know, this season,

1163
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: with a full off season. Austin Jackson. Last year, he

1164
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, his sister had a medical situation and he

1165
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: donated bone marrow to her, so he was weakened during

1166
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: the off season, and the idea is that Austin Jackson

1167
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: will be able to protect better this year than he

1168
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: did last year. And going back to the quarterbacks, I mean,

1169
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: we know that Tua is in Miami to stay for now,

1170
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: but we see that former Colts and Patriots quarterback to

1171
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Kobe Brissette signs a one year deal with the Dolphins.

1172
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick is no more. How do you see him

1173
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: being brought into this fold. Is it going to be

1174
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: something like last year where we did see Ryan Fitzpatrick

1175
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: playing some games, or do you think they will truly

1176
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: commit to Tuah and will be the starter for the

1177
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: entire season. Yeah, that's a great question. Look if if two,

1178
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: a tongue of Law finds himself in a similar situation

1179
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: the last year where there was two games that he

1180
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: started that he didn't finish because he got benched and

1181
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff brought in fit to replace him to

1182
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: get a spark in the fourth quarter. Two was in

1183
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: trouble because that flies in year one. Maybe it's it

1184
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: had to because that was their decision, but that doesn't

1185
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: fly every year, and certainly not when you've quote unquote

1186
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: committed to the guy. If you're benching your starting quarterback

1187
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: who was the number five overall pick on more than

1188
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: one occasion or two occasions during the season because the

1189
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: team is, you know, kind of stale on offense, you

1190
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: probably don't have the right quarterback. As we get on

1191
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: the verge of another draft, NFL draft, and I know

1192
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: you've you've covered a ton of these armando and we've

1193
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: I've been drafted, I've observed a ton of them as well.

1194
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: You always get those guys who look great coming out.

1195
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: But then, as we've seen this last offseason with the

1196
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: Titans and the Dolphins, the guys like Isaiah Wilson, how

1197
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: do you how do teams fall into that mess that

1198
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: became Isaiah Wilson, who's a first round draft pick with

1199
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the Titans. They traded him to Miami. He's never going

1200
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: to play another down in the NFL. It doesn't look

1201
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: like right. That's a that's another great question. You guys

1202
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: are on fire today, so so Steve. As you know,

1203
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: every team has a security department and they all do

1204
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: their due diligence checking out what these guys do and

1205
01:02:55,200 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: how they you know, act and perform not just you know,

1206
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: on campus, but away from campus in their lives. And

1207
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: those investigations are supposed to show you this guy maybe

1208
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: isn't the right guy to pick, or isn't the right

1209
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: guy to pick in the first round, or isn't the

1210
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: right guy to trade for. But sometimes, you know, human people,

1211
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: they make human mistakes and things fall through the cracks.

1212
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: And I would say Isaiah Wilson's lack of maturity and

1213
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: is just utter unprofessionalism and disregard for his assignment as

1214
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: an NFL player that never showed up for them. And

1215
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't just the Tennessee Titans that made that mistake.

1216
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: The Dolphins, who thought they could rehabilitate Isaiah Wilson found

1217
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: out within the span of four days that he wasn't

1218
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: the right guy either. Yeah, the season ends for Miami

1219
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills go on and make it to

1220
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,919
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship Game. And we talked to Brandon being

1221
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: r GM quite a bit, and after the season, the

1222
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: question for Brandon was, you know, are you going to

1223
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: spend this offseason trying to figure out how to beat

1224
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs because they're probably still going to

1225
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: be in your way. If the Bills get to the

1226
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game next year, you're going to have to

1227
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: get past them. How do you do that in free

1228
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: agency and in the draft? And Brandon of course reminds

1229
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: us like, hey, we also have to win the AFC

1230
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: East first. Based on the moves that the Dolphins are

1231
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: making this year in free agency, do you think they're

1232
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: setting themselves up in a good way to contend for

1233
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: the AFC East title? No? Um, no, making Bills fans

1234
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: feel good right now? Well, I mean, look, the difference

1235
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: between thirteen and three and ten and six is big

1236
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: in enough, but when we saw those two teams on

1237
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: the field at the same time, it was a thirty

1238
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: point difference and the Bills were playing their JV half

1239
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: the time. So no, the Dolphins would have had to

1240
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: have done some extraordinary work in free agency to bridge

1241
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: that gap. And what actually happened is, as we talked

1242
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: about earlier, Van Noy is gone. So that's six sacks gone.

1243
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson is gone. That's another four sacks gone, and

1244
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: they haven't replaced them. And yes, will Fuller is better,

1245
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: is better for the offense. That's gonna be a net game.

1246
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: But does that one player suggest a thirty point difference

1247
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills. You know, I, personally, I don't

1248
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 1: think so. Well. One of the things I've been talking

1249
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: about this offseason in regard to even when we signed

1250
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Matt Breedon, I asked him earlier in the show about

1251
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: this as well. What the Dolphins thought coming into Buffalo

1252
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen with a chance to win that game

1253
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: and to get into the playoffs on their own without

1254
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: having to wait on one of those other three teams

1255
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: to lose or whatever, and they couldn't get it done.

1256
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: In fact, the casual observers here the Dolphins in Western

1257
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: New York, it looked bad coming in with a defense

1258
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: the quality that they had, But then when the Bills

1259
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: got out and scored a couple of touchdowns all of

1260
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,440
Speaker 1: a sudden that it just seemed like they had no

1261
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: faith that their offense was going to be able to

1262
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: win that game, and the game got out of hand

1263
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: because of the Dolphins disbelief in their ability to come back.

1264
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: Is that how you saw it or how did you

1265
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: see that season end there? In the regular in the

1266
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: regular season for the Dolphins in Buffalo, Yeah, it was

1267
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: a bad look there's no doubt about it. It spoke

1268
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: to me personally. You know, Ryan Fitzpatrick was out right,

1269
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: did we lose Armando? He just popped out. We just

1270
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: popped off with Armando. We'll get him back. Say that again, Armando,

1271
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: if you can. Ryan Fitzpatrick was out and then what not?

1272
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: We missed him. We're gonna call him right back and

1273
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: he's I have long thought that, and I guess Armando

1274
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,919
Speaker 1: agrees with me, Maddie that it was a bad look

1275
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins to come in with a chance to

1276
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: win that game and get into the playoffs, and there

1277
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: was just no belief because fitz wasn't on the sidelines

1278
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: to come in and either he save it, try and

1279
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: score some points late to save that game or or what.

1280
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: But they just felt like, I don't know, that's what

1281
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 1: happens when a leader on your team is sideline when

1282
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: you really think you might need him. And Armando's back, Armando,

1283
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: fitz was out of that game and what so he

1284
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: was out because of the COVID protocol right and that

1285
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: game when the Dolphins got behind, it showed to me

1286
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: that the lack of confidence in being able to author

1287
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: a comeback like they did against you know, the Las

1288
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. Without Fitzpatrick, it showed that they just didn't

1289
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 1: truly believe Tuah could do that the way fitz had

1290
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: done it before that very season, in fact, the week before.

1291
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: So now without fits on the roster again, we're gonna

1292
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: have a we're gonna have a you know, ride or

1293
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: die moment for Ta Tonga Vloa. And in those times

1294
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: where he's gonna be facing that uphill battle, he has

1295
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 1: to show not just the fan base and the club,

1296
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,719
Speaker 1: but his teammates that hey, stick with me, don't abandon

1297
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: the hope, because I can get this done. At this point,

1298
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: obviously he hasn't gotten it done. Yeah, I think about

1299
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: the leadership that you know, a quarterback needs to take

1300
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: and to bring on even in that rookie season. Of

1301
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: course you're trying to get the lay of the land,

1302
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 1: but guys are only going to follow you if you

1303
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: have that leadership presence, in that command in the locker room.

1304
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: And that's something that here in Buffalo we've seen Josh

1305
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: Allen really grow to have. And I'm sure last year

1306
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: with TWA when it's like are you the starter? Are

1307
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: you not? You're in and out of games. That's a

1308
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:20,600
Speaker 1: little bit harder to grab a hold of. Do you

1309
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: think he's capable of doing that? Well, he's capable, but

1310
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: he hasn't done it, and I don't remember him having

1311
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: to do it, with maybe one exception at Alabama, and

1312
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 1: that was the National Championship game of twenty seventeen when

1313
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 1: he came in and they were behind I think it

1314
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: was Georgia, and you know, he threw two late touchdowns

1315
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: and they won the National Championship. Unfortunately for him, what

1316
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: he accomplished and did at Alabama in twenty seventeen, twenty

1317
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: eighteen doesn't count for the twenty twenty or twenty twenty

1318
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: one Dolphins. It's a show me league. It's a prove

1319
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: it league. Prove that you can do it on a

1320
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: professional level and that you could do it for us.

1321
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's gonna be hard to believe that you can

1322
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: actually do it. Yeah. The interesting thing for me and

1323
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: that Armando said in that twenty seventeen eighteen National Championship

1324
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: game that Brian Dable was the guy called in the

1325
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: place for two Atonga Byloa. Now he's in Buffalo with

1326
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. It makes a difference. It really does. And

1327
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: there's no question we were very happy that Brian Dable

1328
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: did not get hired away from from Buffalo. But one

1329
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: guy that did get hired away from Miami, another guy

1330
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: that got hired away from Miami was Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's

1331
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: now in Washington. He had some nice things to say

1332
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: about two of when he left. So he's got elite

1333
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: decision making, elite accuracy as well. Some of the things

1334
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: that you can build on. What is the legacy of

1335
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, not only in for you, from your from

1336
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: your from your perspective. You covered him just like we

1337
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: covered fits when he was here in Buffalo. One of

1338
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: the most unique careers we may ever see in the NFL. Unique, fun, interesting,

1339
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: all those things. And he argues, and I'm not one

1340
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: to debate him on the issue, is that he's playing

1341
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: his best ball of his career right now because he

1342
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: has been through so many offenses, he has learned from

1343
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: so many people that now he can incorporate all of

1344
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: that over his seventeen years and use it on the

1345
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: field to the point where, look, he doesn't have an

1346
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: amazing arm, he's not an amazing athlete, but he's an

1347
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: amazing mind. And so he his his free snap reads.

1348
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: He knows I would say more than eighty five percent

1349
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: of the time what the defense iss gonna do before

1350
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: the ball snap. And so that's a great advantage that

1351
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: he has because he's been through the wars and he's

1352
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: seen it all and he uses it. He really does

1353
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 1: use it. That's something that not every quarterback in the NFL,

1354
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,560
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, not most quarterbacks in the

1355
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 1: NFL can do because they can't draw upon that reservoir

1356
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: of experience. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how long

1357
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick can stay in the league for. I know,

1358
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 1: when when Matt Barkley was a free agent for the Bills,

1359
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 1: one of our former offensive lineman, Eric Wood, who does

1360
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: stuff with us, he was saying, you know, it'd be

1361
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 1: nice if Buffalo brought Ryan Fitzpatrick back. Of course, we

1362
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: have Mitchell Trubisky now that we signed, But yeah, I'm

1363
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: excited to watch him in Washington and you know, see

1364
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: how long he can extend that career for. But Armando,

1365
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: thank you so much for the time, thank you for

1366
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: laying it out for us. With with what Miami's looking

1367
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: like right now through free ag to see it and

1368
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: with the upcoming draft. It'll it'll be intriguing to see

1369
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: what they do with that number six pick after it

1370
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: went from number three to number twelve to now number six,

1371
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: and how they can really build around twa and if

1372
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: it ends up being worth it. But thank you so much.

1373

1381
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: They we sit up here and think, wow, those guys

1382
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be good because basically because of their draft pick.

1383
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:55,640
Speaker 1: I know, like we're looking down the line. I'm like,

1384
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'm gonna be worried about this team.

1385
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: And he's like, I don't know, They've got a high

1386
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: draft picks. And he's right. It's hard for a first

1387
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: year player particularly think about it if they sprinkle the

1388
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 1: first four or five players they pick in this draft

1389
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: into their lineup, they become extremely young and inexperienced. That's

1390
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: never a great place to be as an NFL team.

1391
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Put that on top of two a tonga Bylow in

1392
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: his first full year as a starter, and losing the

1393
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: guys they lost free in free agency. Yeah, I get it.

1394
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: That could that could lead at least, at the very

1395
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: least to a slow start to their regular season win

1396
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: loss record. Yeah, you know, but yeah, that's it's kind

1397
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: of nice to hear from a guy I know. Of course,

1398
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: everybody everybody's yeah, everybody's kind of like they kind of

1399
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: spin it. You know, I get it. You see your

1400
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 1: own team, I think a little more clearly than other

1401
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: teams do. Maybe. I mean, they put all that money

1402
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: into their defense last year, and I remember seeing them

1403
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 1: make all those moves and free agency, and I was like,

1404
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 1: they have the number one scoring defense in the league.

1405
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: Gonna be tough. They did up till Week seventeen, and

1406
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: then then we kicked their butt. Fifty six to twenty

1407
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: six was the final score, with our backup players rushed

1408
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 1: so that. I don't know if they just had an

1409
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 1: off day, but it really wasn't what any of us

1410
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: were expecting from that number one defense, And my eyelids

1411
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 1: are half open and I'm smiling thinking about that week

1412
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: seventeen Again. I love it. Yeah, I want a lot

1413
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: more of that this upcoming season. But we're gonna take

1414
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, we will dip into

1415
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: the Mocked Draft Watch tell you about some prospects that

1416
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: you need to keep your eye on as we get

1417
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 1: closer to the NFL Draft starting April twenty nine. This

1418
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 1: One Bell's I presented by Kalid to help. This is

1419
01:15:43,400 --> 01:16:04,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back into One Bills Live. It

1420
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 1: is now time for us to tell you about some

1421
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: prospects that you should keep your eye on. We have

1422
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: our latest installment of the Mock Draft Watch that I've

1423
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 1: been pumping out keeping an eye on. We just released

1424
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: our sixth one. Our seventh one will be coming this weekend,

1425
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 1: so keep your eye on that. But from last week's

1426
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: mock Draft Watch that I released, wanted to update you

1427
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: guys just on the stats here. So we have tracked

1428
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:42,759
Speaker 1: seventy eight so far. Began tracking those January twenty second,

1429
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: when I was sad that we weren't playing in the

1430
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and really didn't care about who we were

1431
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 1: taking who people thought we were taking. Number thirtieth overall

1432
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: in January, I was like, it's it's too much times

1433
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 1: it's January, this is in April. I don't care, But

1434
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: now I care lot. So here we go. Out of

1435
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,640
Speaker 1: those seventy eight, we tracked twelve this past week, so

1436
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: we added twelve to the collection. The cornerbacks they led

1437
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,719
Speaker 1: this round. So out of the twelve that we tracked

1438
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 1: last week, cornerbacks were mocked to us five different times. Overall,

1439
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 1: they have been mocked to the Buffalo Bills eighteen times,

1440
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: So cornerback is now the favorite position that people think

1441
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: the Bills will select with that number thirty overall pick.

1442
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: Offensive tackle is second. They've been mocked to the Bills

1443
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: thirteen times that number thirty. Running back is third twelve times.

1444
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: People of guests that are running back is going to

1445
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,759
Speaker 1: be selected in the first round by the Buffalo Bills,

1446
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: and edge rusher and linebacker are tied with eleven for fourth.

1447
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 1: So the picture at least is becoming more clear with

1448
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: what the mock drafts are saying. Now that we're kind

1449
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,759
Speaker 1: of through three eight agency, we can see the holes.

1450
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: We can see what the Buffalo Bills might want to

1451
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: add here in the NFL draft, as it is just

1452
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: weeks away now April twenty ninth. I thought it was

1453
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: interesting to see that we didn't have as many edge

1454
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: rushers mocked to us in this latest round of mock

1455
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: drafts that I tracked just two. Yeah, you know why

1456
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: that is. They signed Faobodom and people know he's kind

1457
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 1: of his physical skill set matches any of the guys

1458
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: in this draft. So if you get a guy who's

1459
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: been in the league a couple of years with this

1460
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 1: and as an ascending player, you kind of got that guy.

1461
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 1: That's true, right, even though he may not have been

1462
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 1: a guy who you draft in the first round or whatever,

1463
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: he's still got that high round physical capability without having

1464
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: the experience or the depth of knowledge because he's so

1465
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 1: young in the game. But that's you know, fas as

1466
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: a guy that kind of fits the description of most

1467
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: of these high draft prospects. Yeah, he's got a unique

1468
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: backstory too. Of course, he found football in a different

1469
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 1: way than a lot of these guys who will be

1470
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 1: coming into the NFL from college football found football. He

1471
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:13,600
Speaker 1: played over in London before he came over to the

1472
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 1: United States to play, and he was a part of

1473
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 1: that Pathway Pathway program that Christian Wade was a part

1474
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 1: of and played for the Panthers of course, and found

1475
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: his way onto the roster, which I think he was

1476
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: the first player out of that international Pathway program to

1477
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: actually make the roster, So kudos to him for being

1478
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 1: able to do that. I know it takes a lot

1479
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: of work, especially when you're picking up a sport late

1480
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: in your childhood or in your teenage years or in

1481
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 1: your twenties and trying to figure it out and play

1482
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: it professionally. So yeah, I'm excited for what he can

1483
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: bring to the Buffalo Bills. I think he does have

1484
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: a lot of upside. But I wanted to pick out

1485
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,560
Speaker 1: three prospects that we can look out for that have

1486
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: been mocked to us in this latest mock draft watch

1487
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: that we released on Sunday, and one of those is

1488
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:11,759
Speaker 1: a defensive back. His name is Elijah Mulden. His father

1489
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: played seven years in the NFL, Alex Moulden. His dad

1490
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 1: went to Oregon, he went to Washington. So this kid

1491
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: is a senior. He's one ninety five ten, so maybe

1492
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: a little undersized for that position. But I like what

1493
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: he brings to the football field. He plays with some power,

1494
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: some pursuit. This kid. When you watch his highlights, he

1495
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 1: is flying all over the place, does not give up,

1496
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: is always pursuing the football, pursuing whoever has the football. Here,

1497
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 1: we're watching some video of him at Washington's pro day.

1498
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,759
Speaker 1: We've actually been mocked a couple of different Washington players.

1499
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:56,679
Speaker 1: We'll talk about another one too, but he's he's gonna

1500
01:20:56,680 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 1: be your nickel slot type corner. He played inside sleep

1501
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: at Washington. Some of the some of the things that

1502
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: I've been reading about him is that the downside is

1503
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: that he is a little bit undersized and maybe doesn't

1504
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: have the speed or quickness that you want out of

1505
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 1: out of a player like that. But I think he

1506
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: makes up for it in his strength and in the

1507
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 1: good instincts that he has. He also has that NFL

1508
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: blood in his gens since his dad played in the

1509
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: NFL for seven years in twenty nineteen. Listen to these stats.

1510
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: This is pretty good. This was his great This was

1511
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 1: his best season at Washington. Seventy nine total tackles, five

1512
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: and a half TfL's, four interceptions, seventeen passes, defense, and

1513
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: three forced fumbles for a kid that's five ten. Pretty

1514
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 1: good on him. And we're seeing some highlights now of him.

1515
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: And when I was watching those highlights, I like the

1516
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,680
Speaker 1: power that he packs into his punch. I think he's

1517
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 1: someone who can really affect a game. I mean, Washington

1518
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: is a good college football team, so you're seeing highlights

1519
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 1: right there against Ohio States. So this is someone who

1520
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: has played against some pretty top, top tiered talent um

1521
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: and I think who has a future in the NFL

1522
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: for whatever team is looking for a nickel slot corner.

1523
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,720
Speaker 1: And we know the Buffalo Bills. They play a ton

1524
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,799
Speaker 1: of nickel. Yeah, and they play a lot of nickels

1525
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: almost definite than any other team. And you think the

1526
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: things that jump out of with this Elijah motion Molden's

1527
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: VERSI he's an athlete, he's a football player. He can

1528
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 1: play some corner play some safety, can move around. He's

1529
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 1: five ten, a buck ninety, and you're right, he's maybe

1530
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: a half size small, but he also he plays a

1531
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: little bit bigger because he is a willing tackler and

1532
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 1: aggressive guy. And he also has a lot of high

1533
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 1: football IQ. When you're talking about things like why Buffalo

1534
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 1: would like a guy like this. His versatility, and he's smart.

1535
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: He's a smart football player. He plays smart, he's in

1536
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:01,800
Speaker 1: the right spot, he's got anticipation, he's got some courageousness

1537
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: that gets out ahead of the play mentally, and those

1538
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:06,719
Speaker 1: kind of things. When you think about why the Bills

1539
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 1: would draft him, that makes him forget about all the

1540
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: physical stuff that puts him into the pot that the

1541
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: Bills would draw from. And so I think, yeah, that's

1542
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:18,760
Speaker 1: a good call. A guy like Molden if he's there

1543
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: somewhere in this draft, if he's on the board, and

1544
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: the Bills will be saying, yeah, that's a guy we've

1545
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:27,560
Speaker 1: been looking at. So yeah, he fits the DNA I

1546
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 1: think that the Buffalo Bills look for, and I think

1547
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills defense, it's important to have someone

1548
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: like that who can fit into that role as as

1549
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:40,479
Speaker 1: your slot corner. I know we've had different players rotate

1550
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 1: through that slot role. So I wonder if if it

1551
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 1: would suit them better to draft someone who is that

1552
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: player who did play inside most of his collegiate experience

1553
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: at Washington, but wanted to bring up also another guy

1554
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,759
Speaker 1: who is also from Washington. This guy's an edge rusher.

1555
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 1: I know I said only only two edge rushers were

1556
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: mocked the Bills in this latest round of the mock

1557
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:07,559
Speaker 1: Draft watch, so I'll point out both of them if

1558
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: we have time. But this guy's name is Joe Tyrone.

1559
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:15,520
Speaker 1: He's two hundred sixty two pounds six to five a sophomore,

1560
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 1: so this is a younger kid. In twenty nineteen, he

1561
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: played in thirteen games, had forty one total tackles, twelve

1562
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: and a half TFLs, eight sacks. I love that number

1563
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 1: one past defense. Watching his highlights, I think he has

1564
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: good technique when he tackles. This is a guy that

1565
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: wraps up. He's got a nice swim move. I saw

1566
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: him use that a bunch in some of the tape

1567
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,760
Speaker 1: when he jumps on a quarterback. This kid is not

1568
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: going anywhere. He brings that power. He has good reach,

1569
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 1: some good bend. Looks very explosive and athletics. So like

1570
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 1: those stats from twenty nineteen, you're seeing him here if

1571
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 1: you're watching on TV his pro day at Washington. Another

1572
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 1: option for the Buffalo Bills if they do decide to

1573
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: go edge rusher with that number thirtieth overall pick um

1574
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,559
Speaker 1: depending on what the board looks like depending on if

1575
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: if a player falls to them. Uh, this kid, I

1576
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:16,600
Speaker 1: think could provide some good reps, some good snaps to

1577
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: whatever team wants to take him. Um, he's got that

1578
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: taller bill that six five's got some weight on him

1579
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 1: at two sixty two, but looks pretty lean as we're

1580
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 1: seeing right now. Yeah, he moves really well and and

1581
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: he watched his highlights from his Washington days. Um, he's

1582
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: he's been dropped into some coverages and edge guys. So

1583
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit of athleticism, some loose hips

1584
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: that he can get out in front of. Um, he's

1585
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 1: big dude, and that's you know, that's a plus for him.

1586
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: So and he opted out of the twenty twenty years,

1587
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 1: so nobody's seen and this is a this is a thing.

1588
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 1: He may be a great pro. You don't know. And

1589
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,599
Speaker 1: I know all these guys there's a big question marks

1590
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: about how good they're going to be. And you know,

1591
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:00,559
Speaker 1: we had talked to Armando south Gara. You get these

1592
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 1: guys in and all of a sudden they absolutely can't

1593
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: handle the NFL in one way, shape or form. Now,

1594
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 1: but if he does come in and does have that

1595
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 1: ability and turns into a really great pro Having opted

1596
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,560
Speaker 1: out of the twenty twenty season will allow him, for

1597
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: the Bill's sake, maybe to drop down to the third

1598
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 1: or somewhere deeper into the draft where they don't have

1599
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: to spend a pick at thirty to get a guy

1600
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 1: like this, or maybe you know, teams just don't know

1601
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: about him because it's been sixteen months since anybody's seen

1602
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 1: him on a football field. But when you look at

1603
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: what he did in a Washington and some of the

1604
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: plays that he made in the competition he played against,

1605
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: this is one of those guys that is going to

1606
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 1: be affected by the by the pandemic because of his

1607
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 1: opt out and how fresh in the minds people see

1608
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: him as. And he's gonna be in the He's gonna

1609
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 1: be in the pool with guys who are who played

1610
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 1: this last year. That's an interesting dynamic that may allow

1611
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 1: the Bills to grab him at a value pick deeper

1612
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 1: into the draft. So I'm yeah, I like him. And

1613
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,919
Speaker 1: the fact that it's a big body's got a probody.

1614
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy looks like an NFL player, So

1615
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how where he falls in

1616
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 1: the draft because of his opt out. Yeah, and quickly

1617
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: before we break. When we talked to Brandon yesterday on

1618
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: the podcast, Kim asked him, do you feel like you

1619
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 1: have enough to be able to make the right type

1620
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 1: of judgments on these players who played in maybe only

1621
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: a couple games in twenty twenty or decided to opt out,

1622
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 1: And his answer was, at the end of the day, no,

1623
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 1: but we're all gonna do the best that we can

1624
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 1: do to select the right guy in whatever round it's

1625
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna be. So I don't think any of these gms

1626
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 1: feel like they have the entire story for this twenty

1627
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 1: twenty season because it was so weird. But we're gonna

1628
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, We've got some

1629
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: good stuff coming up here. We've got one more guests

1630
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: that's going to be on our show at two o'clock.

01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: It's Greg co Sell. So stick with us here on

1632
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:59,320

Speaker 1: Welcome back into One Bills Live here inside Seneca Studio,

1634
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab and Steve Tasker. As we approach the two

1635
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, um when we went to break, we saw

1636
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: a shot of Highmark Stadium and there was some snow. Yeah,

1637
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: I thought it wasn't gonna snow, but I guess it is.

1638
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 1: I shouldn't make a big deal out of it. Whatever.

1639
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna last, but still there it is. See

1640
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: you later, syin r Sally, I'm not gonna miss you.

1641
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm ready for warm weather. But in our last segment,

1642
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: we were going through some of the prospects um that

1643
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:52,719
Speaker 1: we should keep our eye on as we end closer

1644
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 1: to the NFL Draft, and as we keep releasing these

1645
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,559
Speaker 1: mock draft watches, so you guys can see, um who

1646
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: all the mock drafts have projected to go to the

1647
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills with that number thirtieth overall pick in the

1648
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 1: first round. We've got a first round, in a second round,

1649
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 1: pick a third round, so some of these drafts are

1650
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 1: now starting to expand to your second round, your third round.

1651
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 1: So it's cool to see who some people think we're

1652
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 1: going to take in those first few rounds. But we've

1653
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 1: got one more player that we want to talk about.

1654
01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 1: It's another edge rusher who's been mocked to the Buffalo

1655
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: Bills a couple of times. He's out of Miami. His

1656
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,080
Speaker 1: name is Jalen Phillipson, and I know you guys have

1657
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 1: already talked about him on the show quite a bit,

1658
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: so we'll dip back into that. He's six five, two

1659
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six pounds, is a redshirt junior. He

1660
01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:44,560
Speaker 1: was a twenty twenty All America First Team made the

1661
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 1: first team by AFCA. In twenty twenty, he had forty

1662
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:52,759
Speaker 1: five tackles at fifteen and a half TFLs, seven sacks,

1663
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 1: and interception five quarterback hits in ten games that he

1664
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:59,639
Speaker 1: played in. He did not play in twenty nineteen because

1665
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:04,479
Speaker 1: he transferred from UCLA to Miami. He's got long arms,

1666
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:07,879
Speaker 1: He's got nice length about him. He's got some torque

1667
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 1: in him. He's got good power and technique. I think

1668
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,640
Speaker 1: he looks like a versatile edge rusher who can do

1669
01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:18,439
Speaker 1: more than just rush the quarterback. He can add into

1670
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:21,719
Speaker 1: the passing game, the running game. He's got nice hands,

1671
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 1: as you see him ketch a deflected pass there, just

1672
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: like Joe Tyrn, who are just talking about from Washington.

1673
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 1: He's got that size to him, being six five, you

1674
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 1: can see um he's got that build on his body.

1675
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:40,960
Speaker 1: That not bulky build, I don't want to call it,

1676
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:44,360
Speaker 1: but he's got that muscular build about his body that

1677
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 1: you like to see out of edge rushers. You know,

1678
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 1: that long, lean look that you now see in the

1679
01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 1: NFL for guys coming off the edge. Yeah, and this

1680
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 1: from the NFL from the Draft Network is one of

1681
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 1: the analyst Kyle Crabs thought. He said this the Jalen

1682
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Phillips he's he feels he's the most refined pass rusher

1683
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: in this draft. That says a lot about it. And

1684
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: if you can get a guy who's the best refined

1685
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 1: technique pass rusher in the draft, and you can get

1686
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 1: him at number thirty, it's hard to pass that up,

1687
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:18,960
Speaker 1: particularly in the environment that the Bill that the Bills

1688
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: are in this year with their front and also with

1689
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 1: the league where you're gonna throw it with the Bill's

1690
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 1: offense throwing it out there like they are, You've got

1691
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:27,880
Speaker 1: to think that there's gonna be a more than a

1692
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 1: handful of games that you're gonna have the lead in

1693
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:30,880
Speaker 1: and teams are gonna be trying to jump back in

1694
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:32,960
Speaker 1: or at least scoring to keep up with you, which

1695
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: gives guys like Jalen Phillips a chance to rush the

1696
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 1: passer if he does fall to thirty. A lot of

1697
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 1: people think he's just too good to let go at

1698
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 1: number thirty. And that's why, you know, more than one

1699
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:49,639
Speaker 1: or two people have mocked him to the Bills because

1700
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 1: knowing the Bill's situation with their front even though you know,

1701
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: two years ago they picked it at Oliver last year

1702
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 1: they picked a jampon as to throw it out there

1703
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:00,680
Speaker 1: and say at number thirty, they're gonna pick another guy

1704
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,000
Speaker 1: like that, and who has a chance to be better

1705
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 1: than both those guys. Yeah, that's that's hard to pass up.

1706
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:10,719
Speaker 1: That's why that's why these mock drafts sometimes you're going, Okay,

1707
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 1: I see that one, right, And Jaylen Phillips is one

1708
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 1: of those guys because of the not only he's you know,

1709
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:22,679
Speaker 1: he's big, long, physical, but he's got technique and skill.

1710
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 1: So that's he's intriguing and we've been talking about in fact,

1711
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,400
Speaker 1: we talked with Greg Cosell last week about him at length,

1712
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,720
Speaker 1: so you know he's on this train too. We'll see,

1713
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:34,720
Speaker 1: we'll see if Jaylen Phillips actually makes it to thirty. Yeah,

1714
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:37,679
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. But speaking of Greg co Sell,

1715
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:39,840
Speaker 1: you guys talked to him last week about Jayalen Phillips.

1716
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna have him on the show. Coming up next,

1717
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 1: NFL Films Senior Producer. He's going to talk to us

1718
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 1: about some cornerbacks. I know we talked about one who's

1719
01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: more of a slot corner in Elijah Molden. But he's

1720
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 1: got a bunch of names that he's going to educate

1721
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 1: us on. I'm excited about it, so stick with us

1722
01:32:56,400 --> 01:33:16,560
Speaker 1: because Greg co Sell is coming on next. Had a

1723
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:20,639
Speaker 1: che tester who has been all over the fields. Unique

1724
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 1: he was had of a dual role player for you, Steve,

1725
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:29,200
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the spreaded tear

1726
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 1: of normalcy. Welcome back into One Bills Live as we

1727
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:41,560

01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: our Friday, that means we've got NFL film Senior Producer

1732
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:59,759
Speaker 1: co host of NFL Matchup on ESPN, Greg Cosell joins

1733
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:02,960
Speaker 1: us to educate us about the latest prospects. This is

1734
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:05,599
Speaker 1: my favorite time of the of the year because Greg,

1735
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 1: you are so educated on all of these guys, and

1736
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: I love to hear your breakdowns and I'm so excited

1737
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm co hosting today because you're on with us. Well, Hi, Mandy,

1738
01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 1: I know Steve does all this work too, right, Steve? Yeah, yeah,

1739
01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 1: he's up in the in the knee hours of the

1740
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: morning and at night looking at across What are we doing?

1741
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 1: What are we doing? What did I say? Yeah? Okay, sure, yeah, yeah.

1742
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:32,559
Speaker 1: There was a little pregnant pause there right right, giving

1743
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:35,040
Speaker 1: birth to my inability to have a good answer. That's why.

1744
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 1: So before we get to the prospects, the Bills signed

1745
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: a couple of guys this week, and I want to

1746
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 1: ask you real quick about maybe some guys you were

1747
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:45,640
Speaker 1: familiar with that Bills fans may not be guys like

1748
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 1: Tyrrell Adams and Bobby Hart. You know, these are most

1749
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: Bills fans and thinking, Okay, these are gonna be depth

1750
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 1: guys or where they come from? What are their skill sets?

1751
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 1: Can you help them with that? Well, Bobby Hart will

1752
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 1: be a depth guy. He's been in the league quite

1753
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 1: a few years, he's started quite a few games. He's

1754
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: probably not exactly what you want at the tackle position.

1755
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he was signed to be a depth guy.

1756
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 1: Probably could move inside as well and play some guard

1757
01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 1: if need be. But in his time as a starting tackle,

1758
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 1: Steve he's probably shown that, boy, I hate to say

1759
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:24,600
Speaker 1: this but it sounds bad, but he's probably shown that

1760
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 1: he's not really what you want as a starting tackle,

1761
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:31,280
Speaker 1: but he can play two positions and he definitely adds depth.

1762
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: I think the good thing is knowing that the Bills

1763
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,560
Speaker 1: hopefully have that tackle position solidified as well as the

1764
01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 1: rest of their offensive line. Now it's about adding those

1765
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:42,840
Speaker 1: depth pieces in that can help when need be. We

1766
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 1: also added in Tyrrell Adams and also Mark kell Lee.

1767
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: You're adding some depth to the linebacker position. And I

1768
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 1: was on social media yesterday and I think a lot

1769
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,160
Speaker 1: of the fans were thinking, why do we keep adding

1770
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 1: linebackers into this fold. We've already got our guys with

1771
01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 1: Matt Milano and with Tremaine Edmonds, but you always want

1772
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: competition going into training camps. So what can a guy

1773
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:08,240
Speaker 1: like Tyrrell Adams possibly bring to that room if he

1774
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 1: does make the roster and is a guy who can't

1775
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 1: play a couple snaps there. Well, it's interesting because he

1776
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 1: ended up starting quite a few games for the Texans

1777
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:20,800
Speaker 1: this past year, and I believe he played in their

1778
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: nickel package as well. So he is a guy with

1779
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:28,799
Speaker 1: meaningful starting experience based on this past season. He showed

1780
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 1: up on tape when I watched the Texans D. Texans

1781
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:33,400
Speaker 1: D was up and down this year, but he showed

1782
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:37,679
Speaker 1: up on tape. So it's another good signing. You're signing

1783
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:41,640
Speaker 1: players both with Hart and Adams, who have started meaningful

1784
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 1: games in the league, and it's a sign of how

1785
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,599
Speaker 1: you've improved as a team that players like this are

1786
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,600
Speaker 1: essentially coming in, by the way, with no guarantee of

1787
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 1: making the team, but if they do, they're coming in

1788
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 1: as depth players. But they're players with meaningful experience, and

1789
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 1: you always want that. So as the Bills, you know,

1790
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:03,040
Speaker 1: progress down their roster. They signed Fao Bottle, we spoke

1791
01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: about him last week. They signed these linebackers at depths,

1792
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 1: So people are starting to raise their eyebrows. Okay, so

1793
01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:11,720
Speaker 1: April thirtieth and in twenty ninth is coming up. The

1794
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,880
Speaker 1: draft is coming up, and the Bills still haven't signed

1795
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: anybody of note to play corner. So who are the

1796
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:21,880
Speaker 1: corner draft prospects in the draft. You know, the Bills

1797
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:24,160
Speaker 1: are getting mocked a bunch of corners and dbs and

1798
01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 1: stuff like it. Now, all of a sudden, all the

1799
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 1: mock drafts have the are figuring out. They're thinking the

1800
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 1: Bills have to take a corner at thirty. What are

1801
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this crop of corners coming out? Who's

1802
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 1: who fits the Bills system? Who could play in any system?

1803
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 1: Is there a difference maker who might be there at thirty?

1804
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean, just give us, give up? Will there be

1805
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,840
Speaker 1: a guy worth it at thirty? Well, that obviously is

1806
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 1: team specific in what they think. But the three players

1807
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 1: who are consider probably the top three in the draft

1808
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 1: will not be there at thirty, and that's Patrick's or ten,

1809
01:37:57,479 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley, and J. C. Horne Um. I think there

1810
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,840
Speaker 1: was a time when Greg Newsome from Northwestern, who's a

1811
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 1: very good prospect, people thought he might be there at thirty.

1812
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. You never know with a draft when

1813
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:12,760
Speaker 1: there's going to be a run on a position, so

1814
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,560
Speaker 1: that question is always hard to answer. Now it's what

1815
01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:19,880
Speaker 1: you're looking for. I think the Bills and I certainly

1816
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,439
Speaker 1: don't have numbers in front of me, stats in front

1817
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 1: of me, but every team does match up and play

1818
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 1: man to man coverage. I wouldn't say that that's the

1819
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:31,560
Speaker 1: foundation of a Sean McDermott Leslie frees your defense. But

1820
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 1: in this league, you're going to have to line up

1821
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 1: and play man. So I think when you draft a corner,

1822
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:40,479
Speaker 1: that guy has to be able to line up on

1823
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 1: the outside and play man to man coverage. So you know,

1824
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 1: I've done a bunch of corners. I can't remember, you know,

1825
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:50,200
Speaker 1: all the guys I've done because I probably looked at

1826
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five players in total. So if

1827
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:54,880
Speaker 1: you want to give me a couple of names, I'll

1828
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:58,320
Speaker 1: be happy to tell you. Yeah, the guys you mentioned

1829
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:01,639
Speaker 1: Pats Sir Tan, Caleb Arley, Jacy Horn. You think there's

1830
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 1: absolutely no way they fall to thirty if one of

1831
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:07,639
Speaker 1: them does, you grab him? Correct, Well, the only guy

1832
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 1: who might because he just had a second back surgery,

1833
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:13,760
Speaker 1: So I have no idea how that will impact what

1834
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 1: teams think. That's Caleb Farley. If he was clean medically,

1835
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 1: he would absolutely not drop to thirty. But you never

1836
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,280
Speaker 1: know when you're dealing with injuries. Well, yeah, he had

1837
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: just had a back surgery two weeks ago and then

1838
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:28,840
Speaker 1: ran a four to eight. So I wish, I wish

1839
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 1: I had a back surgery, Steve Jasker territory. If I could,

1840
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: If I could run that, you can operate on my

1841
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:38,719
Speaker 1: back every other week too. So tell us a little

1842
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,440
Speaker 1: bit more about Caleb Farley. What type of a cornerback

1843
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,760
Speaker 1: is he? What type of ball is he going to

1844
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:46,800
Speaker 1: play in the NFL? Based on his collegiate career at

1845
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. Yeah, Farley has traits you look for it.

1846
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 1: Certainly as a man corner. He's got that desirable combination

1847
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:59,559
Speaker 1: of size. He's really solidly built. He's over two hundred pounds,

1848
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:04,440
Speaker 1: he's very very athletic. He's got a strong frame, he's powerful,

1849
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 1: he's got explosive movement, I think at this point in

1850
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 1: time because Farley was not a corner in high school.

1851
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 1: He was a quarterback in high school. So he is

1852
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:19,639
Speaker 1: just really learning the corner position. So to me, he's

1853
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 1: more comfortable playing press man because press man you pretty

1854
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:26,400
Speaker 1: much say you got him and you line up and play. Now, Yes,

1855
01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 1: technique is involved, but zone requires a lot more understanding.

1856
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 1: As Steve knows of route concepts, splits by receivers passing

1857
01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:40,760
Speaker 1: guys on carrying guys I think there's more nuance and

1858
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,880
Speaker 1: subtlety involved in zone, and I think at this point

1859
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 1: he's still learning and working his way through that. It's

1860
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 1: not that he was bad at it. I just think

1861
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 1: right now as we sit here today, he is really

1862
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 1: better at playing press man and he is a strong

1863
01:40:56,439 --> 01:40:58,679
Speaker 1: press man corner. One other guy I want to ask

1864
01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:00,640
Speaker 1: you about it, and it's because you know some of

1865
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 1: a couple of players. We're seeing it more and more

1866
01:41:02,240 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 1: of these days of players whose names we recognize. Asante

1867
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 1: Samuel Junior. That's a name but we've heard in the

1868
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 1: NFL before. What about this version of Asante Samuel. Yeah,

1869
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: he's another interesting guy because he was He's five ten,

1870
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:20,519
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty and normally you don't think of

1871
01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 1: five ten, one hundred and eighty pound corners playing on

1872
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:28,720
Speaker 1: the outside. Now, he's very aggressive, very feisty, very competitive.

1873
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,120
Speaker 1: He of course says he could play on the outside.

1874
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:33,760
Speaker 1: We'll see about that. I think he'll be a fascinating

1875
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:37,560
Speaker 1: evaluation because he lacks height, he lacks length for the

1876
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:41,720
Speaker 1: outside position ideally, so we'll see if teams see him

1877
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 1: that way. He clearly showed sticky what we call mirror

1878
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 1: match press man, not physical press man who he's gonna

1879
01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:52,680
Speaker 1: jam receivers, but mirror match press man, where he just

1880
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,680
Speaker 1: mirrors their routes. He was very, very good at that.

1881
01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 1: The question is can he do that at the NFL level.

1882
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,799
Speaker 1: We're receivers are going to be four or five inches taller,

1883
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 1: way twenty to thirty pounds more. That's a projection. Some

1884
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 1: teams might see him as a slat corner, and I

1885
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:12,680
Speaker 1: don't believe that the Bills need a slat corner, but

1886
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:16,519
Speaker 1: we'll see how they view with Sante Samuel. And then

1887
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:19,400
Speaker 1: another guy is JC Horn. This is a name that

1888
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:22,759
Speaker 1: I remember back when I worked at the University of Tennessee.

1889
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 1: I remember covering a game at South Carolina and Jac

1890
01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: Horn has this big pass breakup in like the fourth

1891
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 1: quarter when the game was on the line, and Tennessee

1892
01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: ends up losing that game and the South Carolina Gamecox win.

1893
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: But but J. C. Horne is someone who played some

1894
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:44,479
Speaker 1: good years for South Carolina. What type of corner is him?

1895
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:46,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I would expect him to

1896
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:50,560
Speaker 1: maybe be around at thirty either. No, he won't be

1897
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:53,639
Speaker 1: because he's got great size six one two h five

1898
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 1: For whatever it's worth He ran exceptionally well. He ran

1899
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:00,799
Speaker 1: under a four four. His vertical jump off the charts.

1900
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,840
Speaker 1: People use that as a measure of explosive movement. He's

1901
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 1: got long arms, so he fits the profile of corners

1902
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 1: who are in demand size, length, physicality, highly competitive. One

1903
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:14,800
Speaker 1: area in which he does need to improve and be

1904
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,160
Speaker 1: aware of, and you have to coach this and work

1905
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 1: with them is and you can do this in college,

1906
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 1: but not in the NFL. Is he tended to be

1907
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:25,640
Speaker 1: kanzy and grabby through receivers routes. Now they don't call

1908
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:27,960
Speaker 1: that in college football, but as we know, they call

1909
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 1: that in the NFL. But he certainly has traits to

1910
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: be a man corner and a zone corner. I thought

1911
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 1: he played zone really really well, and so I think

1912
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: that he can do both. Maddie, he will not be

1913
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 1: there at thirty, right, and I know that there's a

1914
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: lot of these guys that probably will not be there

1915
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,360
Speaker 1: at thirty. But what who's the best guy in this draft?

1916
01:43:52,439 --> 01:43:59,040
Speaker 1: And why at cornerback? Well, to me, it's Patrick's Urtan.

1917
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean I know that they'll people will say Farley

1918
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:05,600
Speaker 1: something might like Horn. I like factor, sir Tan, I

1919
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: mean again, you know about his dad. To me, you

1920
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 1: watched Sir Tan and it just looks like he was

1921
01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:13,840
Speaker 1: born to play mirror match press man. It looks so

1922
01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 1: easy to him, and he ran really well on tape.

1923
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like he's got great speed because he's

1924
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:25,280
Speaker 1: so smooth and comfortable, and in fact, Josh Palmer, a

1925
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:28,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver from Tennessee, ran by him a couple of

1926
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 1: times when those two teams played. I don't view that

1927
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 1: as a big problem in his game. I don't think

1928
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: he's going to get beaten over the top with any

1929
01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 1: kind of consistency. But he plays mirror match press man

1930
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:42,200
Speaker 1: so comfortably. It just looks like, you know, he's been

1931
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,200
Speaker 1: doing that, and maybe he has been because of his dad.

1932
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:46,280
Speaker 1: Looks like he's been doing it since he's two years old.

1933
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 1: We're just hoping that none of these guys, if they're

1934
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: not going to be around at number thirty, that they

1935
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:54,640
Speaker 1: don't go to any other AFC East teams, because then

1936
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh, but good thing, we got Stephan Diggs

1937
01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,519
Speaker 1: to line up against anybody, but someone that has been

1938
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:02,880
Speaker 1: mocked to the bills quite a few times. In the

1939
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:07,200
Speaker 1: latest like two weeks of mock drafts, that I've been tracking.

1940
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:10,760
Speaker 1: We've tracked seventy eight since the end of January. The

1941
01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 1: name the name was Greg Newsom, Newsome the second. He's

1942
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:18,160
Speaker 1: someone who's showed up probably I want to say six

1943
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 1: or seven times being mocked to the Buffalo Bills. But

1944
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 1: it seems like in the last couple of weeks he

1945
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 1: started to go up the chart in where he's going

1946
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 1: to go in the NFL draft. Why is that? Well,

1947
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 1: I think again, pro days tend to get people who

1948
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 1: do mocks really excited because and he had a great

1949
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 1: pro day. You know, he's he's long, he's thin framed.

1950
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's only one hundred ninety two pounds, but

1951
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 1: he's six feet ran on. You know, his two forties

1952
01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:49,200
Speaker 1: were four three eight and four four, so that's obviously fast.

1953
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,320
Speaker 1: His vertical jump was really good. So you're dealing with

1954
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:56,640
Speaker 1: a guy that he has really good tape. He's a

1955
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:59,600
Speaker 1: little high cut, he's a little long legged sometimes that

1956
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:03,680
Speaker 1: can pack change of direction in zone. But he's very

1957
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 1: smooth athletically. He's got natural quickness. He'll play on the

1958
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 1: outside in the NFL. I wouldn't call him twitchy and sudden.

1959
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 1: He's not one of those guys, but he's really fluid.

1960
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:18,800
Speaker 1: So again, you know, the pro days tend to change

1961
01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:21,720
Speaker 1: mock drafts. I don't know what they mean as far

1962
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 1: as NFL teams. I watch tape on these guys, So

1963
01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:29,600
Speaker 1: to me, my evaluation is what my evaluation is. The

1964
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:32,599
Speaker 1: Pro day does not change it for me unless there's

1965
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: a dramatic difference from the tape, and I don't think

1966
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 1: there really was in Newsom's. In Newsom's case, I mean,

1967
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:43,640
Speaker 1: he's really smooth and fluid. He's very poised and composed.

1968
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:47,640
Speaker 1: There's he plays a really nice game. You know, if

1969
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:49,920
Speaker 1: he was there at thirty and they wanted a corner,

1970
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:52,680
Speaker 1: he'd be a really nice pick, right. And one of

1971
01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 1: the guys that that intrigued me was the kid from Syracuse, Effiatulf.

1972
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:01,680
Speaker 1: I thought that's a guy that when I saw him,

1973
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:03,200
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, I might I might like him

1974
01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:07,200
Speaker 1: a lot. Am I right in thinking that, Well, he's

1975
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 1: a little different because he's six two and a half

1976
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:13,719
Speaker 1: two oh five and is built solidly. He's not sleek.

1977
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:18,479
Speaker 1: He's another guy that he'll be a fascinating projection because

1978
01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 1: he's got size, he can run. He's athletic, but not

1979
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:26,719
Speaker 1: super athletic. He's very competitive, but he's not really fluid.

1980
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 1: He's got a little stiffness to him in his core,

1981
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:32,799
Speaker 1: which impacts his ability to flip his hips and change direction.

1982
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:35,840
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Steve, as you know,

1983
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:39,479
Speaker 1: big corners who can run are always in demand. So

1984
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:44,960
Speaker 1: now you have to decide the balance between the size, speed,

1985
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:48,400
Speaker 1: athleticism profile, which is a positive, and the fact that

1986
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:52,040
Speaker 1: he's got a little choppiness to him, a little stiffness

1987
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 1: to him. How do you feel about that? That becomes

1988
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:59,120
Speaker 1: a team an organization answer, But that's what the tape shows.

1989
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 1: And then there's another pretty quick corner who I know

1990
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,559
Speaker 1: his name started to be brought up a lot more

1991
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:09,719
Speaker 1: after he ran his forty was Georgia's corner, Tyson Campbell.

1992
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:12,320
Speaker 1: He ran a four three four and a four three

1993
01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 1: nine forty yard dash at PROTA. I mean, they've got

1994
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: some quick players on that team that are headed to

1995
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:20,560
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. What do you like about him and

1996
01:48:20,680 --> 01:48:23,280
Speaker 1: what he can offer at that position with his quickness

1997
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 1: and speed. Yeah, he was a big, big time recruit.

1998
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 1: He came out of American Heritage High School in Florida,

1999
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 1: which is a big time high school. And do you

2000
01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:34,200
Speaker 1: know who the other corner was? Who he played with?

2001
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:36,800
Speaker 1: It American heritage. I imagine it was tough to throw

2002
01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:39,320
Speaker 1: the ball against in who was it the other corner

2003
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:43,200
Speaker 1: with Tyson Campbell an American heritage with Patrick Curtan. So

2004
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 1: I imagine teams didn't throw it real well against American heritage. Wow.

2005
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:49,640
Speaker 1: In fact, there were some schools that had Campbell as

2006
01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 1: a as a higher recruit than Curtan because he's six

2007
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,920
Speaker 1: one one ninety three. He was a sprinter, so this

2008
01:48:57,120 --> 01:49:01,519
Speaker 1: kid can really run. I really liked his tape. Now

2009
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 1: there's another corner on Georgia named Eric Stokes who's something

2010
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:09,000
Speaker 1: like more. But Campbell has got size, he's long, he's

2011
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:12,879
Speaker 1: got twitch, he's got great speed. I think few corners

2012
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 1: match his traits, profile, and certainly his level of competition.

2013
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 1: In the SEC, Georgia played a ton of press man

2014
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 1: that was a foundational coverage for them, so he has

2015
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: a ton of experience doing that. But again he's a

2016
01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:29,800
Speaker 1: little high cut, he's got long legs, so you get

2017
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:33,759
Speaker 1: into that some issues in transition and change of direction,

2018
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:37,719
Speaker 1: especially in off coverage. So I really liked his tape.

2019
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 1: I really liked the player. My guess is he'll be

2020
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,639
Speaker 1: there at thirty. Yeah. We've been laughing a little bit

2021
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 1: as we watch, And maybe it's a function of the

2022
01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 1: way the offseason is gone this year with no combine

2023
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:52,960
Speaker 1: and we're going to all these pro days, and maybe

2024
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 1: we're all a little bit more aware of this. But

2025
01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:57,560
Speaker 1: you tell me, is it your perception like it is

2026
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:00,720
Speaker 1: mine that everybody in their own go, let's running a

2027
01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: four three these days? Yeah? Yes, yeah, yeah, I would

2028
01:50:05,479 --> 01:50:07,719
Speaker 1: say that you're right step the forty times are faster,

2029
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that means. I'm sure if

2030
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:12,679
Speaker 1: we were all at the combine, we wouldn't be seeing

2031
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:15,800
Speaker 1: these forty times. But at the end of the day,

2032
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 1: I think the tape tells you whether a guy can run,

2033
01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 1: you know. I remember my first combine. It was maybe

2034
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:23,439
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, and I didn't know anybody, and I

2035
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 1: was sitting with scouts, just trying to meet people, and

2036
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,880
Speaker 1: there was an old time scout from the South just talking.

2037
01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 1: I was listening, and he said, you know what, the

2038
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:35,320
Speaker 1: forty time tells you that fast guys run fast, and

2039
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 1: slow guys run slow. And at the end of the day,

2040
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,200
Speaker 1: you kind of know watching tape whether a guy can

2041
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, is playing the game at a fast speed,

2042
01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 1: But you're one hundred percent right, The forty times are

2043
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:48,960
Speaker 1: off the charts this year. Well, you're watching all this

2044
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,160
Speaker 1: tape on these guys, and I know you said, you know,

2045
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:54,640
Speaker 1: pro days really don't impact I how I grade these

2046
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:57,680
Speaker 1: players unless something significant happens in their pro days. And

2047
01:50:58,120 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 1: all these gems and scouts are all also watching this tape.

2048
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:04,000
Speaker 1: And you've got a lot of players who opted out

2049
01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:07,800
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty or played less games because of the

2050
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen year that we all were a part of,

2051
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 1: and college football did not play as many games as

2052
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 1: the NFL did for certain. And we talked to Brandon

2053
01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:20,680
Speaker 1: Bean yesterday and we asked him, you know, do you

2054
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:23,200
Speaker 1: have the full picture of all of these players? And

2055
01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,120
Speaker 1: he was like, we don't, but we're going to do

2056
01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:27,640
Speaker 1: the best with what we have and the best with

2057
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:30,560
Speaker 1: going to pro days and grading these guys and the

2058
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 1: zoom interviews that we're doing. But no, at the end

2059
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 1: of the day, it's it's not what we want. It's

2060
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:37,800
Speaker 1: not complete. So with that, do you think some of

2061
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 1: these guys who maybe opted out or played less games

2062
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 1: could fall or do you think it'll be regular in

2063
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 1: where they may go. How do you think that could

2064
01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 1: impact the NFL draft. I think guys who have great

2065
01:51:51,200 --> 01:51:54,800
Speaker 1: tape from twenty nineteen and great workouts will not be

2066
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:59,599
Speaker 1: significantly impacted. I think guys who have good tape from

2067
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:02,160
Speaker 1: two a nineteen who opted out but then did not

2068
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:06,040
Speaker 1: work out well will be impacted for this simple reason

2069
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:09,320
Speaker 1: that they'll be seen as not having worked really hard.

2070
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:11,120
Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, if you didn't

2071
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:15,360
Speaker 1: play in twenty twenty, your workout, whether it's a pro day,

2072
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,360
Speaker 1: whether it's a private workout, and I don't even know

2073
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:20,559
Speaker 1: if private workouts are allowed, I'm not following that part closely.

2074
01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:24,439
Speaker 1: But if you've missed two twenty and you don't show

2075
01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:28,080
Speaker 1: up at your pro day in unbelievable shape, ready to

2076
01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 1: have the best work out of your life, I think

2077
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:32,479
Speaker 1: teams were going to look at that as a little

2078
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:35,120
Speaker 1: bit of a red flag. So someone like Jamar Chase,

2079
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 1: the wide receiver who had an unbelievable Pro day workout

2080
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 1: and phenomenal tape in twenty nineteen, he won't be impacted.

2081
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:45,960
Speaker 1: Somebody like Gregory Husseau from the University of Miami, who

2082
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:49,439
Speaker 1: had a strong twenty nineteen season but opted out and

2083
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 1: then had a below average pro day. I think that

2084
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:54,760
Speaker 1: will impact him for sure. Are there going to be

2085
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 1: guys and I guess there will be who slipped through

2086
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 1: the cracks, who opped out? Okay, you know, I guess

2087
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:04,400
Speaker 1: we always have guys like that, I mean, but we

2088
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:06,680
Speaker 1: just never have an inkling that they're gonna be. Is

2089
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:08,360
Speaker 1: there any you know, are you going to be able

2090
01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:10,320
Speaker 1: to find a guy? Depending on and I guess each

2091
01:53:10,360 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 1: team's is different, But are there going to be more

2092
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:17,439
Speaker 1: guys that turn out to be really good pros who

2093
01:53:17,640 --> 01:53:20,760
Speaker 1: just for the because of the pandemic and all the

2094
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:24,479
Speaker 1: herky jerky nature of the evaluation process, And are there

2095
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 1: going to be more guys that slip through the cracks

2096
01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:31,519
Speaker 1: this year? Possibly because I you know my sense, And

2097
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 1: again I don't work for a team, so I don't

2098
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 1: know the kind of work that they specifically do. But

2099
01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:40,720
Speaker 1: I think because you need this year to rely more

2100
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:44,720
Speaker 1: than ever on watching tape. And I'm not saying that

2101
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:47,400
Speaker 1: scouts aren't good at that, but I think that that's

2102
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:50,880
Speaker 1: more of the foundation than ever because you don't have

2103
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the other elements that go with the

2104
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:58,240
Speaker 1: evaluation process this year for obvious reasons. So I think

2105
01:53:58,280 --> 01:54:02,320
Speaker 1: the tape and interpretation of tape, because don't forget, you're

2106
01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:05,400
Speaker 1: watching tape to project and transition to the NFL. You're

2107
01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:07,920
Speaker 1: not just watching tape to say, wow, he's a good

2108
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:12,280
Speaker 1: college player. You ultimately are transitioning and projecting guys to

2109
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:15,759
Speaker 1: your team to the NFL, and that's what it's all about.

2110
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 1: So you need to do that exceptionally well this year.

2111
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:23,080
Speaker 1: And it could be the case Steve that there's guys

2112
01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:26,439
Speaker 1: who you know, maybe getting drafted in the fifth round

2113
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 1: that maybe would have been second round picks in a

2114
01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:31,160
Speaker 1: normal year, or guys who are drafted in the second

2115
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:33,160
Speaker 1: round who really, if more work was done, would have

2116
01:54:33,200 --> 01:54:35,160
Speaker 1: been fifth round pick. So I think it'll be a

2117
01:54:35,200 --> 01:54:38,240
Speaker 1: little funky this year. Yeah, it'll be intriguing to see

2118
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with the NFL Draft. I think

2119
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,960
Speaker 1: the strong scouting departments will be they'll be able to

2120
01:54:44,040 --> 01:54:47,440
Speaker 1: show that they're strong with this past year's NFL draft

2121
01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:49,600
Speaker 1: that we did virtually and then this year where you

2122
01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:52,000
Speaker 1: don't have a full body of work to see and

2123
01:54:52,160 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 1: to judge these players off of. But I thought it

2124
01:54:55,520 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 1: was a long time till the NFL Draft. Now it's

2125
01:54:58,280 --> 01:55:01,280
Speaker 1: just weeks away. April twenty ninth is when it begins.

2126
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. I love looking at these prospects

2127
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 1: and learning more about them. So Greg, thank you so

2128
01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 1: much for being on and telling us about some of

2129
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:13,560
Speaker 1: these corners who maybe could be around at thirty and

2130
01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:15,760
Speaker 1: the good ones who definitely will be gone. But we

2131
01:55:15,840 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 1: appreciate the time. Thanks, guys, I really appreciate it. Take

2132
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:23,160
Speaker 1: care of Greg good to learn a little bit more

2133
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:25,080
Speaker 1: about some of those corners that are going to be

2134
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:29,200
Speaker 1: coming off the boards early and some that could possibly

2135
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:32,680
Speaker 1: drop to the Buffalo Bills with that number thirty pick. Overall,

2136
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad if the Bills drafted a corner

2137
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 1: at number thirty based on the moves that they've made

2138
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:40,520
Speaker 1: in free agency, based on you know what we can

2139
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:44,160
Speaker 1: guess if the draft is today, you know today or

2140
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:46,240
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. Yeah, that's that's who you

2141
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:48,040
Speaker 1: gotta take, right, I mean that's I think that's who

2142
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:50,720
Speaker 1: you gotta take. We're not done. I mean there's still

2143
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,280
Speaker 1: a chance that you know, Richard Sherman walks through the door, right,

2144
01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's all those guys out there. There's still

2145
01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:58,720
Speaker 1: some really quality free agents out there, guys who have

2146
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:02,400
Speaker 1: some experience and some still some really good football to offer.

2147
01:56:02,480 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 1: Still that may end up in the door. Um who knows.

2148
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 1: But yes, if if, if the draft is this week,

2149
01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 1: we got to right. I mean, that's why the mock

2150
01:56:16,560 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 1: drafts speak for themselves. Everybody thinks that, hey, m Brandon,

2151
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:23,840
Speaker 1: Brandon said he looks at them. They keep track of

2152
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:26,080
Speaker 1: those mock drafts. Maybe not every single one of them,

2153
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:29,160
Speaker 1: but the mock drafts, um, the mel Kiper mock drafts,

2154
01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:31,360
Speaker 1: the mock drafts that guys have been doing it for

2155
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:33,560
Speaker 1: years and years and have a good pulse and have

2156
01:56:33,720 --> 01:56:37,520
Speaker 1: connections to NFL teams and organizations. So some of these

2157
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 1: could be could be saying the right thing. I think

2158
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:43,160
Speaker 1: when we drafted aj Epenessa, Um, why when we still

2159
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:46,760
Speaker 1: had a first round pick, right, he was mocked to

2160
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:49,680
Speaker 1: us a couple times earlier on and then of course

2161
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 1: he fell into the second round and we ended up

2162
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:54,480
Speaker 1: getting him. But it's always interesting to also and look

2163
01:56:54,600 --> 01:56:56,560
Speaker 1: go and look back at these mock drafts to see

2164
01:56:56,800 --> 01:56:59,120
Speaker 1: who was completely wrong and who is right. But they

2165
01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:02,800
Speaker 1: one of the drafts from the Athletic and then the

2166
01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 1: Athletic NFL. You know the website, they get their staff,

2167
01:57:06,200 --> 01:57:08,000
Speaker 1: you got they all kind of pool their stuff. They

2168
01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:10,720
Speaker 1: have the bills. Trading the number thirty pick, yeah for

2169
01:57:10,880 --> 01:57:14,560
Speaker 1: three more picks. Trade the number thirty for the number

2170
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:16,520
Speaker 1: fifty two, the eighty three and the two O two.

2171
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 1: So you trade that one first round pick at thirty

2172
01:57:20,200 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 1: for three picks later in this draft? Worth it? I

2173
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:29,240
Speaker 1: don't know, It depends. I don't know if I would

2174
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 1: do that if I'm looking for a corner that I

2175
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:34,240
Speaker 1: need to know. I like the idea of trading up.

2176
01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 1: If you have a corner and you're okay with with

2177
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:40,960
Speaker 1: dealing away a couple of those mid round, late round picks,

2178
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:43,600
Speaker 1: and you really like a guy three spots, yeah, and

2179
01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 1: if like, if a guy like one of these top

2180
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:48,000
Speaker 1: like jac Horn is there or somebody like that, somebody

2181
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:50,680
Speaker 1: kind of falls, yeah, then then you got to think

2182
01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:53,400
Speaker 1: about doing it. But to drop back and get pick

2183
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:57,680
Speaker 1: up two extra picks is very enticing to me as well,

2184
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:02,640
Speaker 1: it really is. But then again, ya, we've seen Bean

2185
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:07,480
Speaker 1: move around, yeah, but never backways, always up. I like

2186
01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:10,360
Speaker 1: going up. Let's do it, all right, We're gonna take

2187
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:12,839
Speaker 1: a break, but when we come back, we've got NFL

2188
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:17,000
Speaker 1: True False to get into some fun scenarios that will

2189
01:58:17,040 --> 01:58:19,880
Speaker 1: go through and figure out if they are true or false.

2190
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:23,600
Speaker 1: Half an hour left in the show. Thanks for tuning in, guys.

2191

Speaker 1: you will not find us there. We will be relaxing.

2199
01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:12,120
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do a little bit more of our mailbag,

2200
01:59:12,920 --> 01:59:15,080
Speaker 1: dip into our tweet sheet, brought to you by the

2201
01:59:15,160 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

2202
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:22,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and we got to one so far. We

2203
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:25,840
Speaker 1: haven't really gotten to many others. But I want to

2204
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 1: be on the show today, so we do it. It's

2205
01:59:28,080 --> 01:59:30,760
Speaker 1: been a busy show. I want to ask you this

2206
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:35,040
Speaker 1: question from Rachel. She said, I know the NFL's aiming

2207
01:59:35,120 --> 01:59:38,200
Speaker 1: for full capacity stadiums in the regular season, but has

2208
01:59:38,240 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 1: there been any indication that there will be fans allowed

2209
01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:44,000
Speaker 1: at training camp at Saint John Fisher. And let me

2210
01:59:44,080 --> 01:59:48,760
Speaker 1: preface this first. We asked Kim Pagoula about this last

2211
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:51,720
Speaker 1: night when we were taping the podcast, which I've you know,

2212
01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 1: throughout the show basically explained to everything in the podcast,

2213
01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:57,160
Speaker 1: but there's still some other things is so make sure

2214
01:59:57,200 --> 02:00:01,040
Speaker 1: you check it out. This afternoon, we asked her, you know,

2215
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:03,560
Speaker 1: are are we going to be doing training camp and

2216
02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher Buffalo? Give me an answer, and she

2217
02:00:06,240 --> 02:00:09,160
Speaker 1: was like, well, we're planning for both. There's not an

2218
02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:12,240
Speaker 1: answer yet. She said, we would like to be at

2219
02:00:12,320 --> 02:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher, but right now we are getting ready

2220
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:19,920
Speaker 1: to do both and making plans for both. If we

2221
02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:22,680
Speaker 1: are at Saint John Fisher, I don't I don't know

2222
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:25,640
Speaker 1: why there wouldn't be a couple of practices where there

2223
02:00:25,720 --> 02:00:28,920
Speaker 1: are fans in the stands. Based on how we were

2224
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:31,920
Speaker 1: able to do limited capacity for the playoff games this

2225
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:34,040
Speaker 1: past season, I think that would work out. I know

2226
02:00:34,120 --> 02:00:36,320
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more of an intimate setting and

2227
02:00:36,760 --> 02:00:39,960
Speaker 1: fans are are closer to the players during those training

2228
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:44,240
Speaker 1: camp practices, so maybe a couple more precautions will have

2229
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:46,440
Speaker 1: to be put in place. But you know, as more

2230
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:49,240
Speaker 1: people start to get vaccinated, and as our players start

2231
02:00:49,320 --> 02:00:52,080
Speaker 1: to get vaccinated, I would think that would be something

2232
02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:55,280
Speaker 1: that could happen. I'm I'm I'm not giving any answers here.

2233
02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm dancing around saying yesterday it is. I honestly don't know,

2234
02:00:58,800 --> 02:01:00,880
Speaker 1: but I love to have fans there. But you can

2235
02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:03,560
Speaker 1: bet too that from what you said, if if they

2236
02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:06,040
Speaker 1: do says hey, we're gonna if they say we are

2237
02:01:06,080 --> 02:01:08,240
Speaker 1: going to have training camp at Saint John Fisher, you

2238
02:01:08,320 --> 02:01:10,360
Speaker 1: can bet fans will be involved, because that's the only

2239
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:12,400
Speaker 1: reason to go over there. If there's no fans going

2240
02:01:12,440 --> 02:01:14,280
Speaker 1: to be involved in if they'll just do it here.

2241
02:01:14,680 --> 02:01:17,360
Speaker 1: They've got the facilities they could use here, and the

2242
02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:19,960
Speaker 1: and the shuttle bus. The players will be taking care

2243
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:22,680
Speaker 1: of the meeting spaces. They've got all that here. So

2244
02:01:22,880 --> 02:01:26,040
Speaker 1: if they can and they want, and they and it's

2245
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:28,640
Speaker 1: they're able to because of the virus, go to Saint

2246
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:31,680
Speaker 1: John Fisher, you can bet that fans will be involved, right,

2247
02:01:31,760 --> 02:01:34,720
Speaker 1: That's because that's the only reason they would go over there. Yeah,

2248
02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:37,760
Speaker 1: I think you know, I think Saint John Fisher offers

2249
02:01:37,960 --> 02:01:41,240
Speaker 1: also the team bonding that you maybe don't get here

2250
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:43,680
Speaker 1: in Buffalo because you can just go back to your

2251
02:01:43,680 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 1: apartment or your home. Saint John Fisher, you're you're staying

2252
02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:48,920
Speaker 1: in the dorms, and I know in Buffalo, you know

2253
02:01:49,040 --> 02:01:52,440
Speaker 1: you could stay in a hotel and try and have

2254
02:01:52,680 --> 02:01:55,920
Speaker 1: that environment. But I think Saint John Fisher offers a

2255
02:01:56,080 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 1: unique aspect of that in the team building, and maybe

2256
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:00,960
Speaker 1: you're trying to do that a lot this season because

2257
02:02:01,080 --> 02:02:04,760
Speaker 1: last season you really couldn't capitalize off of that. I mean,

2258
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:09,160
Speaker 1: the guys were together here when there was practices and

2259
02:02:09,520 --> 02:02:11,960
Speaker 1: when there was games, but after that they didn't hang

2260
02:02:12,040 --> 02:02:14,480
Speaker 1: out outside of the facility at all. They didn't get

2261
02:02:14,480 --> 02:02:16,240
Speaker 1: to know each other outside of the facility. So it

2262
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:18,400
Speaker 1: was like, this is your time to really take advantage

2263
02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:20,320
Speaker 1: of getting to know each other. And it seemed like

2264
02:02:20,360 --> 02:02:23,400
Speaker 1: the locker room just improved last year, but maybe they're

2265
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:26,000
Speaker 1: trying to improve it even more in Saint John Fisher

2266
02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:29,920
Speaker 1: would help with that. I also, and Bias, I freaking

2267
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:33,040
Speaker 1: love the food there. I could sit I could sit

2268
02:02:33,080 --> 02:02:36,440
Speaker 1: in that cafeteria and literally eat tennis. They've got you

2269
02:02:36,560 --> 02:02:38,680
Speaker 1: go in there to eat, and I don't spend much

2270
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:41,160
Speaker 1: time over there, but it, Yeah, you walk in and

2271
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:43,760
Speaker 1: it's believe me, you can tell you're eating for a

2272
02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:46,880
Speaker 1: professional athlete. They got I want to work in the cafeteria.

2273
02:02:46,960 --> 02:02:48,720
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to do. Yeah. I tip my

2274
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:51,080
Speaker 1: hat to Saint John Fisher in their kitchen staff because

2275
02:02:51,120 --> 02:02:54,400
Speaker 1: it's I get a smoothie every morning heading out to practice.

2276
02:02:54,760 --> 02:02:58,240
Speaker 1: Feel like I'm gonna get as smoothie. But who knows

2277
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:00,120
Speaker 1: if we would even be allowed in there with with

2278
02:03:00,360 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, COVID nineteen protocols probably still in place. But yeah,

2279
02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:07,600
Speaker 1: it's not shabby here, no, I'm but we've got a

2280
02:03:07,640 --> 02:03:10,480
Speaker 1: great facility to do. They and they feed all these

2281
02:03:10,560 --> 02:03:12,720
Speaker 1: guys all the time here when they're here because they

2282
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:16,720
Speaker 1: got a cafeteria upstairs and it's super nice one too. Yeah,

2283
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:21,920
Speaker 1: it's all of that. And the problem is and for

2284
02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:26,400
Speaker 1: me as a as an athlete like I was, I

2285
02:03:26,440 --> 02:03:28,640
Speaker 1: could eat anything I wanted. I didn't have to like

2286
02:03:29,520 --> 02:03:32,080
Speaker 1: like stay away from whole milk or not eat ice

2287
02:03:32,160 --> 02:03:34,520
Speaker 1: cream or whatever, you know, because I can eat a

2288
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:36,720
Speaker 1: gallon ice cream go right on the practice field. I

2289
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:38,560
Speaker 1: could go out and I and I and I would

2290
02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:41,000
Speaker 1: lose weight, right, I mean it didn't matter. I could

2291
02:03:41,120 --> 02:03:45,000
Speaker 1: not eat enough calories to put weight on because of

2292
02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:47,560
Speaker 1: the two to day practices and the heat and the

2293
02:03:47,720 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 1: working out and everything that you do. So when they

2294
02:03:51,080 --> 02:03:55,000
Speaker 1: started feeding this like that, then they was like, you know,

2295
02:03:55,200 --> 02:03:57,640
Speaker 1: it's always the common lowest common denominators. They got these

2296
02:03:57,680 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 1: guys that are trying to cut weight and they can't

2297
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,160
Speaker 1: eat well, they don't give they don't put any food

2298
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:05,600
Speaker 1: out for like it. It's all this high fiber, low

2299
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:08,800
Speaker 1: car But I'm like, bro, give me some good stead

2300
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:14,080
Speaker 1: where's the pizza? Right? So for that way, they set

2301
02:04:14,160 --> 02:04:16,800
Speaker 1: the menu and these guys and pretty much they set

2302
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:19,680
Speaker 1: it up. Even the treats like the soft serve ice

2303
02:04:19,720 --> 02:04:21,880
Speaker 1: cream and then all the stuff they had, it's all

2304
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,280
Speaker 1: set up so that they can eat whatever they want

2305
02:04:25,760 --> 02:04:28,240
Speaker 1: because it's made with the right ingredients and the right

2306
02:04:28,360 --> 02:04:31,480
Speaker 1: ratios that they like. And it's it's just like no

2307
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:36,400
Speaker 1: holds barred, just go. You mentioned two days. That is

2308
02:04:36,440 --> 02:04:39,840
Speaker 1: a thing of the past now, right, can you believe it?

2309
02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 1: That was a staple when I covered college football when

2310
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:48,240
Speaker 1: I was going to Massoon and worked with the football

2311
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 1: team and then worked with Tennessee's football team. I mean

2312
02:04:50,520 --> 02:04:52,520
Speaker 1: they were still doing two days that Massoo. Two days

2313
02:04:52,560 --> 02:04:54,720
Speaker 1: were a lot more tense than they were at Tennessee

2314
02:04:54,840 --> 02:04:57,240
Speaker 1: because they started phasing out of two days by the

2315
02:04:57,320 --> 02:05:00,800
Speaker 1: time that I got to Tennessee. But it used to

2316
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:02,520
Speaker 1: be a big time thing, and now it's like, oh,

2317
02:05:02,600 --> 02:05:04,520
Speaker 1: we'll just do If you're gonna do two days, your

2318
02:05:04,560 --> 02:05:09,520
Speaker 1: second practice is a very chill walkthrough. But during your time, no, no, no,

2319
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:12,880
Speaker 1: no no. When I was a nineteen back in the

2320
02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:18,640
Speaker 1: last century, nineteen eighty five, before you were born, there

2321
02:05:18,680 --> 02:05:21,200
Speaker 1: were eighty five guys in camp. It was like the

2322
02:05:21,320 --> 02:05:24,040
Speaker 1: first year they limited the number of players in camp.

2323
02:05:24,120 --> 02:05:26,000
Speaker 1: So they limited the players in camp, but they didn't

2324
02:05:26,160 --> 02:05:29,720
Speaker 1: nothing else was limited. So we're in San Angelo, Texas

2325
02:05:29,760 --> 02:05:33,320
Speaker 1: at San Angelo State, which is a ten hour drive

2326
02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:36,600
Speaker 1: from Houston, still in the same state, ten hours west.

2327
02:05:37,160 --> 02:05:40,080
Speaker 1: So we go out there and we show up and

2328
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:48,000
Speaker 1: three straight weeks morning practice, afternoon practice, morning practice, afternoon practice,

2329
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:52,240
Speaker 1: morning practice, afternoon practice, seven days a week. And it

2330
02:05:52,440 --> 02:05:54,920
Speaker 1: was rough. And this was it was a better year

2331
02:05:55,120 --> 02:05:57,720
Speaker 1: for us because of the year before. The veterans told

2332
02:05:57,800 --> 02:05:59,880
Speaker 1: us that the year before they were there for two

2333
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:02,440
Speaker 1: two weeks and in the for two weeks of the

2334
02:06:02,480 --> 02:06:09,800
Speaker 1: time they were there, it was ten ten days it

2335
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:14,760
Speaker 1: was over a hundred degrees and for twelve or the

2336
02:06:14,840 --> 02:06:20,520
Speaker 1: fourteen days, it was over one hundred and ten. So

2337
02:06:20,760 --> 02:06:24,440
Speaker 1: they were and they were out in it. The biggest difference.

2338
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:28,920
Speaker 1: It was the first time I ever really felt like

2339
02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:32,800
Speaker 1: I needed sunscreen. Back in the day, nobody, you know,

2340
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:35,560
Speaker 1: sunscreen was like what are you doing because we were

2341
02:06:35,560 --> 02:06:37,760
Speaker 1: all getting you know, they you send your kids out

2342
02:06:37,800 --> 02:06:40,320
Speaker 1: in the sun, like go get a sunburned, right. I

2343
02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:42,200
Speaker 1: felt I needed it because one of the pranks they

2344
02:06:42,200 --> 02:06:43,880
Speaker 1: did is they shaved all the rookies head. So my

2345
02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:47,920
Speaker 1: head was shaved and we're almost shaved, and so my

2346
02:06:48,280 --> 02:06:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, my my scalp, I was. It was so bad.

2347
02:06:52,320 --> 02:06:56,000
Speaker 1: I was so miserable for that two weeks. And now

2348
02:06:56,200 --> 02:07:01,120
Speaker 1: you know now it's different and rightfully so, yeah, but yeah,

2349
02:07:01,440 --> 02:07:05,160
Speaker 1: we think back to doing two like rough practices a day,

2350
02:07:05,240 --> 02:07:07,960
Speaker 1: and like just the miles that that puts on your

2351
02:07:08,040 --> 02:07:11,520
Speaker 1: body and the wear and tear, like not healthy. In

2352
02:07:11,600 --> 02:07:14,600
Speaker 1: a hundred degree heat. We'd go out early, we'd be

2353
02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:16,480
Speaker 1: out there like eight am, you know, but even then

2354
02:07:16,640 --> 02:07:19,600
Speaker 1: West Texas at eight am, it's ninety five. Yeah, and

2355
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:23,720
Speaker 1: we're out there. Yeah, and we were in the morning practice.

2356
02:07:23,760 --> 02:07:27,880
Speaker 1: I remember the morning practices were like passing game right.

2357
02:07:27,960 --> 02:07:29,680
Speaker 1: You'd go out and you'd run routes. We'd re going

2358
02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:31,800
Speaker 1: seven on seven. Then we'd go team and run routes

2359
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:33,800
Speaker 1: and everything was throw through, throw, throw, throw, And then

2360
02:07:33,880 --> 02:07:37,680
Speaker 1: the afternoon it wasn't. It was like, you know, thirty

2361
02:07:37,760 --> 02:07:40,600
Speaker 1: four lead draw, you know, dive and you're hitting a

2362
02:07:40,680 --> 02:07:44,760
Speaker 1: lot more. They're hitting all the pads. It's alive all

2363
02:07:44,800 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 1: the time, shoulder pads, leg pads, everything you're going and

2364
02:07:49,600 --> 02:07:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, even the drills before practice were like wow,

2365
02:07:53,040 --> 02:07:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, pow, oh gosh, it was awful you guys.

2366
02:07:57,960 --> 02:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Props props to you and all the other NFL players who, yeah,

2367
02:08:02,200 --> 02:08:04,560
Speaker 1: we're all went through that. We're all really tough, but

2368
02:08:04,680 --> 02:08:10,000
Speaker 1: we were also incredibly stupid, incredibly stupid. Well, let's do

2369
02:08:10,160 --> 02:08:15,640
Speaker 1: one more question Number one from TD mack he or

2370
02:08:15,760 --> 02:08:19,440
Speaker 1: she I don't know, says, what's your thoughts on bringing

2371
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:22,520
Speaker 1: in former Panthers players. Every time they do, there's a

2372
02:08:22,600 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 1: course of here we go again, not another Panther. I'm like, dude,

2373
02:08:26,560 --> 02:08:29,240
Speaker 1: we just came off a championship game. Appearance. Maybe these

2374
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:33,400
Speaker 1: guys are part of the solution. Yeah, I think Calvin

2375
02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:35,640
Speaker 1: Benjamin is the poster boy for the wrong way to

2376
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:38,480
Speaker 1: go with an ex Panther player. But you also got

2377
02:08:38,560 --> 02:08:40,840
Speaker 1: like Starlo tu Lelee out of that deal as well,

2378
02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:45,320
Speaker 1: and other guys as well. And I think that's becoming

2379
02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:48,360
Speaker 1: less and less common because now that, particularly since Ron

2380
02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:50,720
Speaker 1: Rivere is now at the Washington football team, the staff

2381
02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:53,600
Speaker 1: is no longer with Carolina. And I think one reason

2382
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott felt like they could, you know,

2383
02:08:58,280 --> 02:09:01,560
Speaker 1: take those players is NFL players and coaches at every

2384
02:09:01,680 --> 02:09:05,920
Speaker 1: level they like certainty. And when you go out and

2385
02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:07,680
Speaker 1: you're looking for a player, when you know that guy

2386
02:09:07,760 --> 02:09:10,480
Speaker 1: and you think, okay, that guy I can can he

2387
02:09:10,560 --> 02:09:12,200
Speaker 1: can help us, I can I can trust him. I

2388
02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:13,920
Speaker 1: know what I'm going to get from him, as opposed

2389
02:09:13,960 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 1: to another guy who may in the end be a

2390
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:19,280
Speaker 1: better player, but you don't know, he may be way worse.

2391
02:09:19,880 --> 02:09:22,120
Speaker 1: You just don't know, at least with this other guy

2392
02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:25,720
Speaker 1: that you've coached or been around, you know the floor.

2393
02:09:26,640 --> 02:09:29,600
Speaker 1: And another thing as well, for a guy like Brandon Bean,

2394
02:09:29,640 --> 02:09:31,440
Speaker 1: he didn't coach these guys. He didn't know him, but

2395
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:35,560
Speaker 1: he does know pretending when Ron Rivere was the coach,

2396
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:38,520
Speaker 1: and that he does know the evaluation process that the

2397
02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:41,840
Speaker 1: Panthers put through their players through before they draft him

2398
02:09:41,880 --> 02:09:44,000
Speaker 1: and sign them. So they're familiar with the way those

2399
02:09:44,040 --> 02:09:46,960
Speaker 1: guys are evaluated, they know the questions that are asked,

2400
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:48,960
Speaker 1: they know the hoops and the bar that they set

2401
02:09:49,080 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 1: and what they think is important. And that I think

2402
02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:54,280
Speaker 1: mirrored more what the Bills wanted to do here in Buffalo,

2403
02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:56,560
Speaker 1: so they kind of had already been through that vetting

2404
02:09:56,600 --> 02:09:59,320
Speaker 1: process once. Yeah. I think that's a good point, and

2405
02:09:59,680 --> 02:10:02,720
Speaker 1: people have talked about it on Twitter after we sign

2406
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:06,480
Speaker 1: Faobata and another Panthers players, like, Okay, is this going

2407
02:10:06,520 --> 02:10:11,560
Speaker 1: to continue? Are we now signing Panthers players because of

2408
02:10:11,760 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 1: their stats? The connection really isn't there as much anymore

2409
02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:20,240
Speaker 1: because Brandon and Sean are now entering their fifth year

2410
02:10:21,280 --> 02:10:24,400
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills, so you have less ties to

2411
02:10:24,520 --> 02:10:28,240
Speaker 1: those Panthers players. You may not have overlapped a season.

2412
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:31,560
Speaker 1: So now, like you said, I mean, Ron Rivera's with

2413
02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:34,560
Speaker 1: the Washington football team, So I think now when we

2414
02:10:35,440 --> 02:10:38,320
Speaker 1: signed Panthers players, it may not be as much of

2415
02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:42,680
Speaker 1: that connection in that pipeline anymore because of the fact

2416
02:10:42,720 --> 02:10:45,120
Speaker 1: that they've just been in Buffalo for a while now,

2417
02:10:45,200 --> 02:10:47,400
Speaker 1: and you're not going to have those connections there, right,

2418
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:50,400
Speaker 1: And that's yeah, it's just just gonna go away. Now.

2419
02:10:50,520 --> 02:10:53,400
Speaker 1: May it may happen that we start signing Washington football

2420
02:10:53,400 --> 02:10:56,520
Speaker 1: team players, true, you know, because and I wouldn't be surprised.

2421
02:10:56,520 --> 02:10:58,720
Speaker 1: And I know this too. When Ron Rivera got the

2422
02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:01,280
Speaker 1: job in Washington football, he called Sean McDermott and Brandon

2423
02:11:01,360 --> 02:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Bean and asked them, because he knew he had that

2424
02:11:04,160 --> 02:11:07,839
Speaker 1: job ahead of him, how did you change the culture

2425
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:11,040
Speaker 1: in Buffalo? What were your first steps? What were the

2426
02:11:11,120 --> 02:11:14,680
Speaker 1: things you did? So he asked his former you know, employees,

2427
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:18,120
Speaker 1: former subordinates how they did such a good job in Buffalo.

2428
02:11:18,200 --> 02:11:20,320
Speaker 1: And of course Brandon and Sean were you know, gave

2429
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:22,120
Speaker 1: him the information that they wanted to give him. So

2430
02:11:24,040 --> 02:11:26,080
Speaker 1: it is a give and take league, but for so

2431
02:11:26,240 --> 02:11:30,760
Speaker 1: much for the things that Brandon and Sean learned while

2432
02:11:30,800 --> 02:11:33,280
Speaker 1: working for Carolina with Ron river as their head coach.

2433
02:11:33,880 --> 02:11:36,640
Speaker 1: Ron Rivere also reciprocated and asked them for some advice

2434
02:11:36,760 --> 02:11:39,080
Speaker 1: once he got a new job in Washington and had

2435
02:11:39,120 --> 02:11:41,520
Speaker 1: to do some of the things that stood before Brandon

2436
02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:43,840
Speaker 1: and Sean and Buffalo. So it's pretty cool. Yeah, thirty

2437
02:11:43,880 --> 02:11:46,160
Speaker 1: two teams can feel big, but it's also really small

2438
02:11:46,240 --> 02:11:49,360
Speaker 1: because everybody's got those connections. We're gonna take one more

2439
02:11:49,480 --> 02:11:51,760
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, we will do what

2440
02:11:52,040 --> 02:11:54,600
Speaker 1: have we Learned? It's been an awesome show, a lot

2441
02:11:54,680 --> 02:11:57,760
Speaker 1: of cool guests. Stick with us for one more segment

2442
02:11:57,840 --> 02:11:59,880
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented by kaleid to help.

2443
02:12:00,120 --> 02:12:18,280
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. It's time for what Have

2444
02:12:18,480 --> 02:12:23,160
Speaker 1: We Learned? Presented by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2445
02:12:23,240 --> 02:12:26,480
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. And we started off the

2446
02:12:26,520 --> 02:12:29,800
Speaker 1: show with Matt Burrita on. He was able to tell

2447
02:12:29,880 --> 02:12:31,720
Speaker 1: us a little bit about what he thinks he can

2448
02:12:31,760 --> 02:12:35,680
Speaker 1: add to this Buffalo Bills offense, understanding what it's like

2449
02:12:35,880 --> 02:12:39,560
Speaker 1: to be a running back by committee, being a part

2450
02:12:39,600 --> 02:12:41,920
Speaker 1: of teams who have had multiple running backs. It seems

2451
02:12:41,960 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 1: like he really knows. You know, it's not about the carries.

2452
02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:48,880
Speaker 1: It's about being able to win a game as a team.

2453
02:12:48,960 --> 02:12:51,080
Speaker 1: And I like this speed that he can bring to

2454
02:12:51,200 --> 02:12:53,480
Speaker 1: this team. I like his yards per carry that he

2455
02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:56,360
Speaker 1: had in San Francisco, and hope he can bring that

2456
02:12:56,440 --> 02:12:58,920
Speaker 1: back to Buffalo. He got a lot of kudos last

2457
02:12:59,040 --> 02:13:01,760
Speaker 1: year in Miami because he came in and they thought

2458
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:03,360
Speaker 1: he was going to really carry the rock and he

2459
02:13:03,400 --> 02:13:05,640
Speaker 1: had fifty nine carries on the season and he didn't

2460
02:13:05,640 --> 02:13:08,400
Speaker 1: say a peep and they asked him about it. He says, no, no,

2461
02:13:08,600 --> 02:13:12,000
Speaker 1: it's about us, not me, And I think that went

2462
02:13:12,040 --> 02:13:15,120
Speaker 1: a long way. And also he told us the Bills

2463
02:13:15,120 --> 02:13:17,160
Speaker 1: were really interested in him last year, but they didn't

2464
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:18,520
Speaker 1: want to give up the draft pick to get him,

2465
02:13:18,520 --> 02:13:19,840
Speaker 1: and they thought they were okay, and they got the

2466
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, they got mosso round. Now we got him,

2467
02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:25,760
Speaker 1: We got our guy. We also had Armando sell Garow

2468
02:13:25,920 --> 02:13:28,680
Speaker 1: on it and he told us he's not that sure

2469
02:13:28,880 --> 02:13:32,120
Speaker 1: about the moves these Dolphins are making to set them

2470
02:13:32,200 --> 02:13:35,080
Speaker 1: up to be contenders for the AFC East title. It

2471
02:13:35,160 --> 02:13:37,000
Speaker 1: depends on it's on these draft picks. We'll see how

2472
02:13:37,080 --> 02:13:40,280
Speaker 1: well they do it. Yeah, thanks for being on with me, Steve.
