Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: All right, how are you doing today?

3
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 3: Chris Brown Steve casted with you on a Tuesday edition

4
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: of One Bills Live. And we just keep pounding the draft,

5
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: pounding it into submission until it's finally here and picks

6
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: are actually made.

7
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Have we reached the tedious state because I let the speculation.

8
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: I'll be watching prospects on you know, highlight tapes and

9
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: stuff like that hat and I'll ask brown I go,

10
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: is this the guy that had the knee? Is this

11
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: the guy that didn't work out? Is this the guy

12
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: that's big? Or is this the guy that's little? I

13
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: keep asking Brownie for details and he's like.

14
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's getting a little tedious for me because

15
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: I have to deal with you.

16
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: That's correct. Such is your plight?

17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: Trying to do my own work over here, that's right?

18
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, gotta help me, Like, hey, what about

19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: that guy?

20
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: And we like him? And that's right, That's that's exactly

21
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: what I say. How do we how do we feel?

22
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: How do we feel.

23
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: About will John Vibe? About this prospect?

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: And and you know, like the guy Chavon Revel, what's

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: his Is he the one with the knee. Oh yes

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: he is.

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, that's where we are. I can't really yeah,

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: madly trying to compile lists.

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Trying to keep all these guys at the same position

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: in football separate in my head. Yeah, it's a chore

31
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: because they all have their own little details. Right. This

32
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 1: guy's this guy's six two, a little over two hundred,

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: doesn't run as well. And then this guy, he's the

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: only the five to ten kid, but he's a playmaker.

35
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: This guy's a safety. This guy's a corner. This guy's

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: a big safety. This guy's a like a cover safety.

37
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, it's a crush.

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: And the other thing, too, is as you move.

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: So what I try to do is I try to go,

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: I try to see, I try to go twelve deep

41
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: at every position, and I compile my own rankings lists.

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: I don't just blindly accept, you know, this draft.

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: Guru's list or this draft because again there and I

44
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: had a conversation with Christia Passo about this when he

45
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: was filling in for you last week. He's gotta grade

46
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: these guys as overall NFL prospects. I grade them in

47
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 3: terms of whether or not they're a fit for the Bills, right,

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: So my rankings list inherently is going to be different

49
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: than you know, these draft gurus who are projecting their

50
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: future NFL careers just in the league, not.

51
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: With a specific team.

52
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: That's really hard to say.

53
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: So I try to apply it to the Bills only

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: when I am ranking them, because really that's all I

55
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: care about. I don't care if he's a fit for

56
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: the Jets because he.

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: Fit the Bills. So that's kind of how I rank

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: my position groups.

59
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: But I try to go twelve deep at each position

60
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: because I don't like getting to Day two and not

61
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: knowing somebody. I expect to get to Day three and

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: not recognize.

63
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Every name yet.

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: But if I can nail down the top one fifty

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: to two hundred, I feel pretty comfortable.

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'll say that you start with the positions

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: that the Bills you need, and we've been talking about

68
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: them for days and days, and then you sift through.

69
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we had we got some pushback from some

70
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: of our listeners. We had I can't remember the gentleman's

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: name that we had on last week who had us

72
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: pick taking a guard or a tackle or somebody.

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: That was yesterday that wasn't yesterday. No, yesterday was.

74
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: The scenario where the guys, the guy said, just take

75
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: the best on the board, and you said, to you,

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: what if it's a guard right pregnant?

77
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: Pause?

78
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: Uh last week and he said, yeah, you guys are

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna take an offensive lineman and Brownie and I are.

80
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: Going, yeah, oh yeah, we're not.

81
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do that.

82
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, well that's kind of why we had him

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: on because I wanted to hear what the about that?

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: I am not watching any offensive line prospects at all,

85
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: and I will I'm not. I'm not doing it. I'm

86
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: the only time I watched an offensive line is when

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: he's looking when I'm looking at our d tackled prospects

88
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: well or defensive end prospects. I get it. I'll cross over,

89
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: but I know, no way, Jose, no way, I'm not

90
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: doing it. I got a life.

91
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: Speaking of which are you? Are you fully prepared to

92
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: stand between the benches tonight ringside? Yes, tonight your Sabers game.

93
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: I did do a little, you know, reconnaissance.

94
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of looked at the Carolina roster for

95
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: tonight because I don't want to. I'm gonna sound like

96
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: a dope. No, matter what, because I don't, you know,

97
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: because Razor's standing there, played played for all the time

98
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: he played, and he does the analyst work.

99
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: And I'm just a you know, you're a bump on

100
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: a log.

101
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. Yeah, I don't care about you know,

Speaker 1: down on the boards for the first time ever.

146
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,360

Speaker 1: Just once.

153
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: In an if there an instant arises where a Razor

154
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: isn't paying complete attention to what's going on on the ice,

155
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: what hold look on, heads up, Razor.

156
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I would imagine that he's probably gonna

157
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: try to do that. Here's now that I think about that,

158
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. Yesterday I put out out there

159
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: that why aren't these guys, why isn't there like one

160
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: puck every game is zinging in there?

161
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: Right?

162
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: One of the guys just taking it because I know

163
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: Razors well liked you know, I mean, he's a great dude. Right, So,

164
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: and Razor, they were showing that he got whacked, and

165
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: so I'm and I'm saying, why isn't like these guys

166
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: who you know, like all these guys Gilbert, well, Gilbert's

167
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: not there now, but McLeod and you know Tage Thompson,

168
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: all of those guys zinging one in there, just flipping

169
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: one in there every night, right, just to keep him

170
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: on his toes. Right. I just thought, wait a minute,

171
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm the guy they might zip it in there at.

172
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: They're not going to see you. I put him, they're

173
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: not going to see you. The next day, I just put.

174
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: A big toe on myself, right on my forehead. Yah,

175
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta be on my toes.

176
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 4: Man.

177
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: I told you I might why I might be tucked

178
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: clear back in the corner of that thing man away from.

179
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: Him, or use razor as a shield, one or the other.

180
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I'll be ducking behind him.

181
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: I have no shame, I'm telling you, man, I'd be

182
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: wearing your football.

183
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Let me tell you he got whacked. The last that's

184
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: an early one. That's the first one.

185
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: That thing blew up like a golf No.

186
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: The next one, that's the easy one. The next this

187
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: is the first one. One. A couple of months later

188
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: he got hit and man, oh man, we saw him

189
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: the next day he had black eye. Oh yeah, he

190
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: looked awful.

191
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: The puck is not very forgiving frozen galvanized rubber. Best

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: of luck with that.

193
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at that. That's man, that's the bad one. Yeah,

194
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough shot right there.

195
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 2: He got hammered like ah.

196
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: But yes, I am looking forward to it. I really

197
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: am looking forward to it tonight. I'm a like I said,

198
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm a proud season ticket hole. I'm a Buffalo guy. Now,

199
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't born here, but I'm kind of.

200
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I've been in town for going on thirty eight years.

201
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm way, I'm I'm a Buffalo guy. So I'm

202
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about being down there. And I mean

203
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: I went, I went to games in the old odd

204
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: and the whole thing. I played a softball game in

205
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: the rock pile for out loud. So I've been around

206
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: for a minute, gotcha. So this is a thrill for me.

207
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do have to go around the NFL, which

208
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 3: is brought to you by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system

209
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 3: of the Buffalo Bills. And this is pre draft visit season,

210
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: and there are more pre draft visits going on as

211
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: we speak. Just over two weeks until Draft Day, Texas

212
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: wide receiver Matthew Golden is visiting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

213
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: The Bucks did re sign Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

214
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: this offseason, but Evans is, you know, thirty two, he's

215
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: getting a little long in the tooth. That would be

216
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: a curious pick though at nineteen. Overall, that's where the

217
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: Bucks pick is.

218
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: That smokescreen kind of stuff.

219
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: It could be, could be, but they're eventually going to

220
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: have to sign a replacement for Evans.

221
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Mike Goland and Mike Goldan's a legit player.

222
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Matthew Golden.

223
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: You and Matthew Golden, You and I are sitting here thinking,

224
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills have been He's been mocked to

225
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: the Bills once or twice, and we're like, going, he

226
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: is not going to be there.

227
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: Oh no, you could knock me over with a feather

228
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: if Matthew Golden is there at.

229
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: The thread and Chad Ryder on today he mocked he mocked.

230
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: Golden with the trade we're going to talk about the

231
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: second hour of the show.

232
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so nobody really expects Matthew Golden to be there

233
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: at thirty when the Bills picked, but picking him at

234
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: nineteen by a team that's got Mike Evans and Chris Godwin,

235
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: the nineteenth pick is really high to be taking a

236
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: guy who's you know, you've got guys at that spot

237
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: for this year. Yes, I mean that's really that's a quintessential.

238
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: That would be deemed I think that would be deemed

239
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: a luxury pick if you don't nineteen.

240
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: You don't take a luxury pick at nineteen. You get

241
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: you get a dude.

242
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: Well he's a dude, yeah, but he's going to be

243
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: your third receiver. Right.

244
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: You don't get a dudeude, You've already got two dudes,

245
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, you get him, you get another guy at

246
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: a different position that you don't have a dude at.

247
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

248
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 3: And they and I know they recently invested in the

249
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: receiver position with a draft pick just a year or

250
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 3: so ago, and I want to I'm looking at their roster.

251
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: Jalen McMillan was their third round pick last year and

252
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: he's their number three right now.

253
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: Godwin's in the slot and McMillan is the outside receiver

254
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: opposite Evans right now.

255
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: And that's why we're sitting here thinking, Okay, I mean,

256
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: because this used to be the thing. Teams talk about

257
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: every guy on the draft board except the guy they're

258
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: looking at. John Butler used to do that for the

259
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: Bills all the time. You'd never get a answer about

260
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: the guy they really wanted to pick. So maybe this

261
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: is a little bit of that from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

262
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: But you know, the thing is, Matthew Golden's is a

263
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: legit prospect first round pick. So it's like the Bills

264
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: entertaining a left tackle. You know, it's like, okay, but

265
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: you know.

266
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? Yeah?

267
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 5: Uh.

268
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 3: Tennessee edge rusher James Pierce Junior spent yesterday with the

269
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals. He also has had visits with the Colts

270
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 3: and Bengals, and he met with the Cowboys and Falcons

271
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: last week. So the Tennessee edge rusher making the rounds

272
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: little undersized, but I think his speed and pass rushing abilities,

273
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 3: he's gonna go in the first round somewhere.

274
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: That guy had to say, that guy strikes me as

275
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: a luxury pick.

276
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: He's a to me, I don't know how he's not

277
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: a situational rusher in the league because.

278
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: He's to forty three.

279
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's two forty.

280
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: Three, and he's not a killer run defender.

281
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: He's decent, he's got great speed. I mean, but a three.

282
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: Hundred pound tackle on that guy, he's moving him out

283
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 3: of the way. Yeah, how he's he's a situational pass rusher. Right,

284
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 3: So if why, I don't know.

285
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: That's why he's that's to me, he's a luxury pick.

286
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: He's just he's a role player.

287
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: I think he's a late first rounder at best.

288
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, because because he's not a three down player right now, right,

289
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: he's not and may never be.

290
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's I mean, he's you know, he's a willing tackler.

291
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: He's just not I don't know how big he is.

292
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: Uh Ohio State running back quin Shawn Judkins is visiting

293
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: the Bengals tomorrow after visiting the Texans on Monday. He

294
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: also had a visit with the Broncos set up for

295
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: later this week.

296
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: He's probably one of the top five or six running

297
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: backs in the class. I didn't think a whole lot

298
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: of him.

299
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: What's the over under on running backs in the first round?

300
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: Probably two?

301
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: It's Ashton genty from Boise State, right, and then maybe

302
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: one more.

303
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not going to be that Scatabo kid. I

304
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: don't think he knows he's going to be like a third.

305
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah he's day late, Day two pick.

306
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: But they'll be they'll be Yeah like you said one

307
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: or two. Yeah, you know what's the giant is Ashton Genty.

308
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah he's gonna be there. He's gonna be taken.

309
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: I think you know who he reminds me of just

310
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: his running style, Travis Henry. Oh, he's built really low

311
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: to the ground. Defenders just kind of bounce off him.

312
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: He's even thicker than Travis Henry was.

313
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: Travis Henry was, and he's got a little bit more

314
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: juice than Travis Henry, a little more breakaway speed. Not

315
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: he's not always gonna take at the distance, but sometimes

316
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: he will.

317
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: He'll be the first running back and then maybe there's

318
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: one more in round one.

319
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 4: Uh.

320
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: This news just crossed before we came on the air.

321
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: One of the top cornerbacks in the class Michigan's Will Johnson.

322
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: As we know because we've talked about the cornerback position,

323
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: he has not done any pre draft testing due to

324
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: a hamstring injury suffered in February during training.

325
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: He's reportedly fully healed.

326
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: Now and he is going to work out for NFL

327
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: clubs on Monday in Ann Arbor, and then from there

328
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: he is a pre draft visit with the Raiders, who

329
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: incidentally picked sixth in round one. I think that might

330
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: be a little bit high for Will Johnson. I kind

331
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: of saw him going somewhere between ten and fifteen.

332
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's it seems like it might be. But

333
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: if they think there's a big gap between him and

334
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: the next guy at that spot, they'll take him.

335
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

336
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: I mean because after Travis Hunter, who's a two way player,

337
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: this is that they have.

338
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: No she's widely considered the next guy.

339
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's only Yeah, Travis Hunter's not going to drop

340
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: out of the top four. Right. So and here's the

341
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: thing too, I say it again because we talk about

342
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: this all the time. If if Will Johnson turns out

343
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: to be the guy, nobody cares. If he reached five

344
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: spots in the first round, nobody cares. Yeah, it's it's

345
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: a total wash. Yeah.

346
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: So I'm just if you really want to see what

347
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: he runs, because that seems to be the biggest question

348
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 3: about him.

349
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: How fast is he?

350
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, how does he time? If he puts a

351
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: number up in the four fours. He's probably gonna be

352
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 3: a top ten.

353
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: We're looking We're looking at h at a you know,

354
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: a big board right now with the cornerbacks on it,

355
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: and if you look at it's Travis Hunt. Hunter is

356
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: ranked number one, and then Will Johnson's number five, so

357
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: it's a little bit and then it's thirty one, drops

358
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: all the way down to thirty one.

359
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 3: Bene bet, I think John A. Barron is going to

360
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: be the next corner off the board. He's a he's

361
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: a late riser. He is definitely a first round pick,

362
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: and he'll probably be off the board before we even

363
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: get to twenty.

364
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: That's because of his measurables, right, I mean, that's why

365
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: these guys rock it up typically.

366
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think he's going to shoot up the

367
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: board for sure. Uh what else do we have here?

368
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: The Jaguars and Raiders start their offseason conditioning programs today,

369
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: two more teams with new head coaches who can start

370
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: earlier than the other clubs in the league. So Liam

371
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: Owen Pete Carroll the new head coach is there. Mel

372
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: Kiper put together his latest two round mock draft for

373
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: the Bills. He has Buffalo taking knductee corner Max Hairston,

374
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 3: which has been a player that I've seen mock to

375
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: the Bills before, and cornerback makes a lot of sense

376
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 3: in round one. Then in round two he has the

377
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 3: Bills selecting tay Leek Williams, the defensive tackle out of

378
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: Ohio State, followed by Notre Dame safety Xavier Wats. I

379
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: wouldn't be upset with that corner, defensive tackle, safety with

380
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: the first three picks.

381
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: I'd be pretty happy with that.

382
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, we've got Yes, we've got three positions

383
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: that you and I think if you if you did

384
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: divide the defensive line and edge into two difference, there's

385
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: four spots. Yeah, but corner, safety, defensive line.

386
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 3: Those three preferably defensive tackle because I think they need

387
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: more help there than end. Although I wouldn't mind them

388
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: drafting and edge rusher either, knowing Joey Bosa is on

389
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 3: a one year deal and as in the last year

390
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: of his contract.

391
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I yes, but there are plenty of ways

392
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: to You got plenty of time to fill that up

393
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: after Bosa's one year deal is out.

394
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 3: Right, And I will say this about Tyler Williams. I

395
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: think the one thing that helps his draft stock is

396
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: you watch his tape.

397
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: He is a hustler.

398
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: Like a lot of big guys.

399
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: You know, they're not playing to the whistle, They're not

400
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 3: chasing down plays from the backside because they got to

401
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: run thirty yards. This guy hustles like he is to

402
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: get a big man that isn't that is has plenty

403
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: of evidence of hustling. Whether you know your team is

404
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: down twenty on the scoreboard, not that Ohio State was

405
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 3: down very much on the scoreboard, but that's a guy

406
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: that hustles like to the end of the play. If

407
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 3: a play gets stretched out, he's running to the sideline

408
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: to try to be a part of the tackle.

409
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: He flows to the ball.

410
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: And we know what Sean McDermott preaches here, eleven hats

411
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: to the ball. Yeah, this guy and the way he

412
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,120
Speaker 3: plays falls in line with that.

413
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 6: That.

414
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were having this conversation. We've you always talk

415
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: about former Bills that kind of fit. His motor will

416
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: remind you of Kyle Williams. He plays hard all the time,

417
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Kyle Williams was a fifth round

418
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: physical talent.

419
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: This guy is gonna go somewhere in Day two.

420
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a first round motor. And so you like

421
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: guys who play hard all the time, even when you

422
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: know finger quotes, nobody's watching kind of thing. Ye when

423
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't nobody's gonna when he doesn't have a chance

424
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: to make the play, but he's still playing hard. Love

425
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and that goes a long way

426
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: when you're watching film because it gives you an insight

427
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: into the guys. You know his attitude, Yeah, you know

428
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: his personality, and that's scouts love to see that stuff

429
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: when they can read what a guy's all about by

430
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: watching him play.

431
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: And then the Carolina Panthers have signed a big time

432
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: project to develop at the tight end position, big as

433
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 3: in six foot eight, two hundred and forty five pounds.

434
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: Former D one basketball player Colin Granger is going to

435
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: begin his journey in football at the NFL level after

436
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: playing five years at college hoops at Ohio Western Carolina

437
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 3: and then Coastal Carolina this past season. And the reason

438
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: he's eligible for the Panthers to sign as a free

439
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: agent is he's more than five years removed from his

440
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: high school graduation. So it looks like the Panthers are

441
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 3: hoping to find their version of Antonio Gates. If you remember,

442
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: Antonio Gates played college basketball at Kent State and then

443
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: went to the Chargers. Ty became one of the best

444
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: tight ends in NFL. His tight end is he part

445
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: of the Hall of Fame class this year. I think

446
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 3: Gates is going in the Yeah.

447
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: The tight end has always has always been a great

448
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: crossover position for football basketball guys. Tony Gonzalez, Pete Metzlar's

449
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: former Bill guy, played with Keith mckellor. Same thing, had

450
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: a he won a national championship state at a lower

451
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: Florida He.

452
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 3: Played basketball at a smaller school, then went to Florida

453
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: State and played football.

454
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: McKellar, yeah, or he was a state champion or something.

455
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: But mckeller was a big, big time hoops player. Keith

456
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: was a really good Yes Johnson that's why. Yeah, mckkeller went.

457
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: He went to a different, different school.

458
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, tight ends have always been one of those

459
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: spots where a pass full jack that's it, and you

460
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: know they it's been a crossover the thing, and there's

461
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: been you know, the ub kid was played quarterback at

462
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: U B. Now he's a tight end in the league.

463
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: There was a bill for a second. So yeah, it's

464
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: we'll see. It's not easy. It's all sounds fun and

465
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: games where you feel like, hey, I can box out

466
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: and catch the pass when the guy you know run

467
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: around and catch the pass and all that. The problem

468
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: is when they have to push a defensive end off

469
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: the ball. That's something hoops players aren't asked to do.

470
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's the that's the rub.

471
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 3: But I mean, he's going to be a garget and

472
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 3: you know, you have hand eye coordination. If he's a

473
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: basketball player, skills are great.

474
00:22:59,440 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

475
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, so we'll see, we'll see what happens there

476
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: with you know, that project. It's interesting because there's another

477
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: tight end who's been more of a blocking type that's

478
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: been in the league for a while, who went to Canisius.

479
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: He started his career here. He's still playing in the league,

480
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: Chris Manherts. He's like got over a decade in the

481
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 2: league now. Yeah, still playing.

482
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: Not a huge pass catcher, but he's a he's a

483
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 3: dependable blocker, you know, traditional y type tight end. He

484
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 3: plays on special teams. Guys got guys gonna have an

485
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 3: NFL pension.

486
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: Smart guys survive because they're willing to do some stuff.

487
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: The other guys are not willing to do, and they're

488
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: willing to work on stuff and get better at stuff

489
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: that other guys just don't want to work at. Yeah,

490
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: and you know, man Hurts a great example. He's that's

491
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: a nice career.

492
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Started here.

493
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: He was in Bill's training camp as an undrafted rookie

494
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: and made it work, so good for him. Topic of

495
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: discussion for you today and the draft approaches, is the

496
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: Bill's roster better now than it was last year at

497
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: this time?

498
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: And why you let us know it? Eight h three

499
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: h five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty.

Speaker 3: The number to get on board. And we do have

501
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,399

Speaker 2: Let us know what you think.

505
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: Is the bills roster better now than it was at

506
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 3: this time last year?

507
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 2: And you tell us why?

508
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 3: Let's go to the phones and leading us off today

509
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 3: is going to be marked out in West Seneca.

510
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Mark here all One

511
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: Bill's Live.

512
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, I hope you're having a good day. As

513
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 7: far as topic of discussion, I can't say they're better

514
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 7: now than last year. I think they just have a

515
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 7: glaring hole at corner. And I think, yet best they're

516
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 7: about same at safety. I don't know if you guys remember,

517
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 7: but I was very uncomfortable, even with the signing of

518
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 7: Mike Edwards last year, with what they went into the

519
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 7: season with at safety. So I think at best they

520
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 7: might be about the same. So but the reason I

521
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 7: called today, Steve, is about your little escapade you're going

522
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 7: to have tonight. Like you said a minute ago, I've

523
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 7: been around a minute. Also. I'm sixty six years old.

524
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 7: But my first love has always been hockey. Played it,

525
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 7: loved it my whole life. Played coach for thirty years,

526
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 7: blah blah blah. And I was about seventeen eighteen years

527
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 7: old at the time, and I ended up playing a

528
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 7: little bit in college, so and I was used to

529
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 7: playing with college players pretty competitive hockey, and one day

530
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 7: I decided to go down alongside the glass during warm ups. Now,

531
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 7: imagine I had grown up sitting in the Lower Golds

532
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 7: my whole life. My grandfather had season tickets down there,

533
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 7: so I was pretty close to the action all the time.

534
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 7: And of course, at that age, you all think you

535
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 7: know I can play with the pros a little bit, baby,

536
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 7: hang with them a little bit. So I'm standing fifteen

537
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 7: feet inside the blue line and Philadelphia had come to town,

538
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 7: and Reggie Leech, if you remember Reggie, he was a fast, scating,

539
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 7: goalscoring guy with a huge shot, was standing on the

540
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 7: blue line, flat footed, just shooting pucks at the net

541
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 7: in warm up. And I could not see the puck

542
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 7: when it left his stick, his stick as it went

543
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 7: by me, and I've had trouble turning my head to

544
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 7: see it hit the net. And I thought, maybe these

545
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 7: guys are a little bit better, faster, stronger than I thought.

546
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always a way an awakening when you know

547
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: people come down on the sidelines for a pregame of

548
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: a Bill's game, or you go down on the boards

549
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: for warm ups in hockey to see the stick work

550
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: and the skating and how easy it comes to these guys.

551
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: And then on the same thing in football, you see

552
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: these guys walk out and it's like heard a livestock

553
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: coming out there so big. Yeah, it's it's eye opening.

554
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it.

555
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: Was for him, I was talking about it yesterday. It

556
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 3: was for me when I went to a Savers practice

557
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 3: and I'm sitting on the visiting bench watching this And

558
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 3: when you're down ringside, do you have a much greater

559
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: appreciation for the speed of the game than you do

560
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: if you're sitting up in the three hundreds, which is

561
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 3: kind of where I sat when I was growing up. So, uh,

562
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: let's go to Butch on the east Side. What do

563
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:25,679

579
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 8: glad you got the chance because when I was on

580
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 8: the phone, I asked us if you enjoying yourself and

581
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 8: you said, Butcher, if I wish I was younger man,

582
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 8: because I'd get some of these autographs, some of these

583
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 8: people that I'm sitting around, and I appreciate you, and

584
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 8: I love you, Brownie, I love you too, and but

585
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 8: my brothers from another mom. But let me get right

586
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 8: to it, because I know you got a lot of calls.

587
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 9: I have a question.

588
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 8: First of all, I believe the roster personally, it's me personally.

589
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 8: It's better now based off of understanding what we want

590
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 8: to do, based off the process. Now, yes we have

591
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 8: some players that had they left on, but I believe

592
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 8: in the practice squad players. I believe in the players

593
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 8: who came through the process that can maybe throw some holes. Yes,

594
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 8: we do need some other players. But now this is

595
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 8: my question, and then I'm going to hang up, and

596
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 8: I'm thanks for taking my call. It's how serious. Sorry,

597
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 8: But this last season, in this last stadium, going into

598
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 8: a brand new building across the street, trying to get

599
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 8: a Super Bowl this year, to carry across the Street.

600
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 8: How serious is Brandon Bean has made some outstanding, outstanding

601
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 8: moves over his career. Yes, he had some players that

602
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 8: didn't work out, so what a lot of gms don't.

603
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 8: But my thing is going into this year with a

604
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 8: thirtieth pick at which is at the end of the draft,

605
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 8: every pick we have is majority of the jeff except

606
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 8: the Stefan Diggs that we got in the second round.

607
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 8: How big of a splash are we that series doing

608
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl?

609
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 10: Now?

610
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 8: The reason why I brought that up is this. Before

611
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 8: you say it's crazy, I want you to think about it.

612
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 8: I will give up this year's first round. I would

613
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 8: give up one of those number twos. I will give

614
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 8: up next year's one in the two and maybe James Cook.

615
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 8: I would go to Cleveland say give us that second

616
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 8: pick in the draft to have all that, and we

617
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 8: go bring Travis Hunter and bring them the Buffalo. I

618
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 8: mean bringing the Buffalo. We got a cornerback, you've got

619
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 8: a receiver. We take Travis Hunter going into that brand

620
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 8: new stadium and take a big time swing at it.

621
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 8: Because if we're in that team we think we are,

622
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 8: next year's first round pick is gonna be at the

623
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 8: back of the draft anyway, that second round pick is

624
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 8: gonna be back in the end of the second round.

625
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 8: So don't don't people look at first and second like

626
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 8: it's back like we picking in the top five. No,

627
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 8: we're picking at the end. But we do got a

628
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 8: guy maybe one day like Steve, Steve and the rest

629
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 8: of the other guys get a yellow jacket in the

630
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 8: Travis Hunter with a Josh Allen.

631
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: Is he playing offense or defense? But get it again,

632
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: is he playing offense or defense?

633
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: For you?

634
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 8: I mean in Buffalo, you know you're gonna start him

635
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 8: at that hole, at that cornerback that we got.

636
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 6: We already got received.

637
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 8: But you know everyone eats on our team, you know that,

638
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 8: so they don't make packages on that offense.

639
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 3: Okay, I just wanted to know what you were thinking

640
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: about him as a player on the roster.

641
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 8: Okay, he's coming in as the starting corner and then

642
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 8: and everybody eats scenario, they'll find a pratice. I love

643
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 8: you guys.

644
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: Thanks.

645
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're up against the break here real quick. That's

646
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: a lot, yeah, real quick. You know you know my

647
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: feelings on trading up. I think it's too expensive and

648
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think two ones and a two and

649
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: James Cook would get it done. It wouldn't. No for

650
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: the number two pick in the draft. No, I don't

651
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: well if it would. Okay, I'm wondering even if it would.

652
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Brandon Bean said it. I believe it, and

653
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: I agree with him. You're not one player away, right,

654
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: You're not one player away. And unless that player's Josh,

655
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: you're not one player away.

656
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: And you're subtracting a dynamic mismatch player on offense and

657
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: just replacing him with another one. You're subtracting Cook and

658
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: adding Hunter. To me, I don't know that yet. It

659
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: you've force multiplied your offense.

660
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm and I see this too. And we're going

661
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: to talk about how we feel about this year's roster

662
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: as it was compared to this time last year after

663
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: the break. But I'm I get it, but I don't.

664
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't see any guy in this draft Travis Hunter

665
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: included as being worth all of that that will make

666
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: that big a difference for this group. Maybe abduall Carter.

667
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: I'd do it for Abduall Carter before I do it Travis,

668
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: because abduaal Carter feels a need and he's a long

669
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: term solution and heat that, and he's almost a sure thing.

670
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Travis Hunter isn't, but at least

671
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: I know what I've got an Abdul Carter. He feels

672
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: more of a yeah, he feels more of what the

673
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: Bills need that could make a bigger difference for where

674
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: they have been deficient long term. So yeah, I get it.

675
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: You can make a splashy play like that, But I

676
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: don't think this is a team that's one player away anyway,

677
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: unless you're talking about Josh.

678
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: Break time for us here when we come back, more

679
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 3: of your phone calls, Rick and ken Moore will leit

00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Back here on One Bill's Live,

684
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: Chris Brown Steve Tasker talking draft with you as the

685
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: draft approaches.

686
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: Is the Bills roster better now? And it was last

687
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: year at this time? And if so?

688
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 3: Why eight O three zero five fifty eight five fifty

689
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: two five fifty. Back to the phones and to Rick

690
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: and Ken Moore, what's up?

691
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 4: Rick, thanks for taking my call. You know, my dad

692
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: took me to my first Bill game in nineteen sixty.

693
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 4: I was we were season ticket holders from nineteen sixty

694
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 4: two for over fifty years. You know, I'm not I'm

695
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: not even close to knowing everything and having all the answers,

696
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 4: you two probably forgot more than I'll ever know in

697
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 4: ten minutes. You know, It's like, but you know, I

698
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 4: do know a couple of things. One of them is

699
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 4: that that Brandon Bean is probably the best GM we

700
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 4: ever had, and Bill Pollyan didn't have to deal with

701
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 4: free agency. Sean McDermott is as good coach, if not

702
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 4: better than any coach you ever had. When I was

703
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 4: at a local watering hole on Sunday and I stuck

704
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 4: up a conversation with a couple of guys, and it

705
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 4: happened to include the Bills, of course. And you know

706
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 4: we're going to backtrack a little bit, going back to

707
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 4: that playoff game against the Ravens. Well, we heard all

708
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: week long was how Lamar Jackson, the two time MVP,

709
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 4: and Jock Allen, the candidates for MDP, were like they

710
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 4: were the showcase. Right. Well, Lamar Jackson did his thing,

711
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: you know, the last last drive we threw a touchdown pass,

712
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 4: Andrews dropped the past. It's a two point converger. The

713
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 4: next morning on Good Morning Football, Kyle Brandt says that

714
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 4: the Ravens had momentum and if that game had gone

715
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 4: into overtimes Andrews had had caught that pass, that Ravens

716
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: would have won because of that, and what he didn't say,

717
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: he didn't say it at all. I thought it was

718
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 4: a very big omission. He hadn't say that. There was

719
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 4: a minute and thirty seconds left of the clock and

720
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 4: we had two timeouts. And we're talking about Jock Dalen,

721
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 4: everybody and their brother. We all know what God could

722
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 4: do in the last so many minutes of the of

723
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 4: the of a game or whatever, you know, as far

724
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 4: as Carns time goes. And oh, let's.

725
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 2: See what you're saying, he didn't.

726
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 4: You know, It's like, you know, we all, we all,

727
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 4: we all experienced thirteen seconds. We're talking about a minute

728
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 4: in thirty seconds, okay. And Tyler Bass, Tyler Bass earlier

729
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 4: that game had kicked it. It said stanton me, long

730
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 4: field goal. You know, I mean, the case is not closed.

731
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: And it upset me, mostly because Kyle Brandt said it.

732
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 4: It don't matter of factly, it just like it just

733
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 4: didn't sit well with me at all, you know. And

734
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 4: another thing is too by you know. You know, it

735
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 4: was like after the after the first day of the draft,

736
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 4: going to the second day of the draft in nineteen

737
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 4: twenty or twenty and twenty two. You know, I said,

738
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 4: I said to a buddy of mine, I said, I'd

739
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 4: like to see the Bills draft this Cook guy, and

740
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 4: this guy from the group of said that you know

741
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 4: that I met said the same thing, you know, and

742
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 4: it's like, you know, it's like all I thought I

743
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 4: looked at it, it was a no brainer upgrade from

744
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 4: Devin Singletary, you know. Yeah, And as far as Brandon

745
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 4: being goes, there was a guy that called a couple

746
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 4: of weeks ago that was all hot about the Bills

747
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 4: not paying prefeeding players and what negative effect it had. Well,

748
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 4: I'll tell you whatever brand mean does. As far as

749
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 4: Cook's future is fine with me, whether he he pays

750
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 4: him or not. You know, the last time I called

751
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 4: you guys said that nobody was perfect, and it's like

752
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 4: that's a given. But at the same time, that's you know,

753
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean that that that people aren't under you know,

754
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 4: under the the whatever the label of being you know,

755
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 4: scrutinized or you know, you know what I'm saying.

756
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got it, Rick, I get where you're coming from.

757
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry. We got to move along here for.

758
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 4: One time too. I remember one time too, you know,

759
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 4: I saw the Bills losing a dolphin. It's twenty times

760
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 4: in a row. And I remember one game Jim Braxton

761
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 4: and Simpson both hit one hundred yards rushing, you know. So,

762
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd rather be in the playoffs. I want

763
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 4: to win a supe. I'd love to win a super Bowl, right,

764
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 4: but I like being on the outside. I'd rather don't

765
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 4: want to be on the outside looking in. I like

766
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 4: being in the playoffs.

767
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: You know, I get it, Rick, And sorry, we got

768
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: to move on. We got other people.

769
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: You're right, and you're right. That's and that's what they

770
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: told us. They were gonna try and do not just

771
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and break the drought that they

772
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: got hired to break, and McDermott did that in his

773
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: first year, but have a shot at it every year.

774
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: They want to remain competitive all the time, and great

775
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: teams and great organizations do that. And they have done

776
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: it here. Uh and everybody, I know this. It's really

777
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: easy for the naysayers to sit on the on the

778
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: fence and throw stuff into the ring and say, you've

779
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: never won a super Bowl, You've never won a super Bowl,

780
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: You've never won a super Bowl, you know, and time

781
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: after time, every until you do that, you you know

782
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: they're that's what you're gonna hear. That's what you're gonna hear.

783
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: But this is a team that has a shot at

784
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, not just a figurative shot, not because

785
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: they're playing games in the league, and not because everybody's

786
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: zero and zero this you know, you're not not like

787
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals and Chicago Bears, like the Bills used

788
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: to be in the drought, you got a shot at

789
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: the super Bowl because you're in the league. No, this

790
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: is a team that other teams, well other organizations know

791
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: they've got a beat in order to get there. That's

792
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: a great spot to be in. And I believe this crew,

793
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: eating Josh McDermott being all, I believe they're going to

794
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: get there. I believe they're going to have a shot

795
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: at that. They're going to be in the super Bowl,

796
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: and the problem is there's no guarantees you can be

797
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: good enough. They've been good enough to go to and

798
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: win it for four or five years now, and you know,

799
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: for a spot of the football on a quarterback sneak

800
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: this last year the thirteen second game. Uh, you go

801
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: down the list of you know how it's gone wrong

802
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, and I think it's a great spot

803
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: to be.

804
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: You can also make the argument, you know, if you're

805
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 3: he apparently he was holding on to that comment by

806
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: Kyle Brandt for the last two months. So you know,

807
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 3: I'm glad you were able to finally let it go.

808
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: The thing you tell Kyle Brandt or any other naysayer

809
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: is Josh Allen's a great quarterback number one, but he's

810
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: even better in the playoffs. Go look at his playoff statistics.

811
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 3: They're even better than his regular season statistics. So when

812
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 3: the stakes get higher, he plays better. And you can't

813
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 3: say that about Lamar Jackson if you look at his

814
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 3: history in the playoffs. So that's where the conversation begins.

815
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 3: You go and promptly ends.

816
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: When you get into advanced analytics.

817
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 2: You don't even have to get into advanced analytics.

818
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 3: Look at the basic stats exactly. He's miles better than Lamar.

819
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: He is elite in big moments and you can say, well,

820
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: why hasn't he gone, Well, it's not in. It hasn't

821
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: been his fault. Josh walks off the field with the

822
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: lead a lot late in games. He walks off the

823
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: field with a lead, like past the two minute warning,

824
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: and it's up to the rest of the team to

825
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: make it happen. But you know, you never You're never

826
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: reaching those moments against these teams that don't have an answer,

827
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: and some of them and lot every time so far

828
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: they've they've come up with an answer until you get

829
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: to a point where the officials don't give him the

830
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: spot or you know, something like that. Josh is elite

831
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: when it counts the most, and that's that's the kind

832
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: of guy you want.

833
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jim in cheek to wagan X. What's up, Jim, Oh, gentleman,

834
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: thank you for taking my call.

835
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, the last caller entered a aspect

836
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 9: that I always thought about. Josh Allen walks off field

837
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 9: with the lead, and that's where my entire conversation was

838
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 9: going to go to. You need to fix the defense.

839
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 9: You lead two minutes left, thirteen seconds left, stop the

840
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 9: other team from scoring. Josh is doing his job. We

841
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 9: need to get all defensive players that can reassure our answer,

842
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 9: you know, shore it up. But the the point is

843
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 9: we're scoring thirty points a game with Josh with nobody's

844
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 9: you know, they're not big name players. They're regular guys

845
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 9: that are you know, and he makes them better. Josh

846
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 9: makes them better. If you get a defense that could

847
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 9: stop the other team from scoring, that would definitely put

848
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 9: us into the prospects of absolutely winning a Super Bowl.

849
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question. I mean, guys, yeah you bet. Thanks

850
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: Rick or I'm sorry, Jim. Uh yeah, that's where you're at.

851
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: That's the way the team is built right now. You

852
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: got Josh got this all timer playing quarterback. He did

853
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: it with At the beginning of last year, it was

854
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: like Khalil Shakir. We knew nobody else. We knew anything

855
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: about Mac Hollins. For goodness sake, he was a journeyman

856
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: and he had a career year with Josh. He had

857
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: a Keon Coleman who was unproven. Amari Cooper was a

858
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown, you know, so you had these guys we

859
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: didn't know how good they were going to be you know,

860
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: you had a thousand yard rusher in James Cook from

861
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: two years ago, but you know, it was just a

862
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: bunch of guys. Now. The offensive line seemed like it

863
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: was going to be good. But yeah, that's the way

864
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: the team is built, Josh, and this offense made it go.

865
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: They were scoring thirty points a game. The defense, you

866
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 1: built it as good as you could, but it wasn't

867
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna hang in there with this offense. This offense was

868
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: really really good. And so you you know, when you

869
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: build your roster, you do it as well as you can.

870
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: And you see what you've got last year and in

871
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: subsequent years before Josh has outshined the ability of the

872
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: defense to close out games sometimes. But even so, this

873
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: is a team that is you know, up until the

874
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore game this last year, was forty three games from

875
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: losing by more than one possession. I mean, you just

876
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: can't do it. And that's that's the way the team's built.

877
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: Right now, you can say you fix the defense, fix.

878
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: The defense, well, you got a draft to do.

879
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: It's easy to do. It's easy to say. It's not

880
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: so much not so easy to do when you've got

881
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: certain guys, you got to pay and the economics get involved,

882
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: and your draft pick is in the bottom fifth.

883
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 2: But I think that's the first round.

884
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 3: I think that's why Jim is saying, use the draft

885
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: to fix your defense, get cheap labor. There in a

886
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 3: year where your deep at defensive tackle in terms of

887
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 3: the class as a whole, you should be able to

888
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 3: get a good corner somewhere and off you go and

889
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 3: hopefully your defense is improved enough where they can get

890
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 3: the stop at the end of a game in the

891
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 3: playoffs for once.

892
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: Right, How good are we going to feel if we

893
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: come out of the first day three of this draft

894
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: and you've got like three defensive linemen, two corners, a safety,

895
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, and then and a wide receiver with some

896
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: traits you know, all that stuff. That's a lot.

897
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: It's a lot, but it's a heavy ass.

898
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: But that's what you're that's what you're really asking for

899
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: in an ideal world with no third round draft picks.

900
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 3: So got to take a break here. More of your

901
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: phone calls when we come back as the draft approaches.

902
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 3: Is the Bill's roster better now than it wasn't last

903
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 3: year at this time? And you tell us why, Ato

904
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 3: three oh five fifty open lines for you there here

905
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 3: on one Bill's Life, stay.

906
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 5: With us.

907
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: As the draft approaches.

908
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 3: Is the Bill's roster better now than it was last

909
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: year at this time? And why you let us know

910
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 3: at aight O three oh five fifty one eight eight

911
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 3: five fifty two five fifty As we're talking draft here

912
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 3: and let's get back to the phones and we go

913
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 3: to Cleveland up in Niagara Falls.

914
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 2: What do you got first? Cleveland?

915
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 6: Hey, what's going on? Guys? I think that this question

916
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 6: you're asking is kind of it's kind of tricky because

917
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 6: you can't really answer this question until you kind of

918
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 6: get a more macro view as things, probably more in

919
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 6: the middle or to the end of the season when

920
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 6: you see kind of the performance of the team, because

921
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 6: it's easy to kind of fall into saying things like,

922
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 6: in my opinion, the wide receiver room that he had

923
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 6: last year, it was probably the worst receiver room that

924
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 6: he had, and he won an MVP with it, So obviously,

925
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 6: I think you can only go up from the receiving room.

926
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 6: I think that they took a real hit when Claypool

927
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 6: went down and it was pretty much announced that Ken

928
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 6: Kaig was our a number one pass catcher, and I

929
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 6: think he got a lot of pressure, undue pressure and

930
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 6: attention on him. And again, Josh Allen want MVP with that,

931
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 6: So you can only go up from there the defensive

932
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 6: tackle draft. As much as I want Isaiah Williams, I

933
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 6: don't think Bean's gonna be able to miss on the

934
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 6: defensive tackle. He's probably gonna get two good guys. So

935
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 6: we can only go up from there. And then we

936
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 6: signed Bosa. But if we're not seeing Bosa ro still

937
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 6: catching double digit tackles, I'm sorry, double digit sacks, or

938
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 6: if we're still seeing gashing runs like how Williams was

939
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 6: doing us when we played against the against the Rams, well,

940
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 6: what improvement do we really have that continues to happen?

941
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 6: And then our biggest question, of course, is in that secondary. Again,

942
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 6: I guess you can look at it and say it's

943
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 6: only up from there. As far as how the secondary

944
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 6: performed at the end of the season when they targeted

945
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 6: eat them as much as they did, I guess you

946
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 6: can't get any worse than that. I guess that would

947
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 6: be the thought. But who knows. If the secondary can't

948
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 6: hold up and we still have to score thirty points

949
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 6: a game to win? Are we really better? Did we

950
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 6: really get better? Maybe we got younger, maybe we got fresher,

951
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 6: maybe we got some better names. But if we still

952
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 6: have to score thirty points a game to win, what

953
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 6: does that really mean? So in my opinion, I think

954
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 6: it's kind of a watch. It's a draw right now

955
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 6: until we see something actually change on the field.

956
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: All right, that's a fair acess, that's a fairasas the

957
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: question is, though, I mean, what you and you're right,

958
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: we know things about last year after the fact that

959
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: at this point of the year that we don't know

960
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: about this year's crew. And that's the difference. But if

961
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: you think back to last year, think about it. The

962
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: Bills were gonna get finished fourth in the division last year,

963
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: some people the third, I mean, they were done as

964
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: division chan who's picking them like that? Now? Nobody there?

965
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: Of course, the other team's going up in smoke has

966
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: something to do with that. But we there were enormous

967
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: questions about every aspect of the roster last year except

968
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and what the offensive line nobody to throw

969
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: to the defensive line was a shambles. They were all done,

970
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: they were all gone. Poyer hide vacated the building. You

971
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: know that. You know, so that the roster at that

972
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: time last year was an absolute you know, Shambles.

973
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 2: And Diggs had just been traded and traded on April

974
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 2: third last year.

975
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: Right, so Diggs is and now Diggs is out there.

976
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: You don't have a number one receiver. So at this

977
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: point last.

978
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: Year you didn't have Diggs.

979
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: People are you know, people are giving up.

980
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 2: They're freaking they were giving up, freaking out a little bit.

981
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: They're like, we're gonna rebuild. We're gonna We're.

982
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 2: Done rebuild year, so we're gonna rebills.

983
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna waste josh Allen's career. It's like, oh my gosh,

984
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: you don't think about it. How much worse was it

985
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: last year at this time than it is this year?

986
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not for nothing, but you've added Joshua Palmer

987
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 2: at receiver. I know Mac Collins is.

988
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 3: In New England, so you know there's that. You have

989
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 3: Laviska Chuanaut who's along with Brandon Codrington. You got two

990
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 3: very capable returners there. You're certainly better at that position

991
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 3: than you were last year at this time. So special

992
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 3: teams is better I think from a return game standpoint unequivocally,

993
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: and Bass got himself right at the end of the

994
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 3: year last year. So you're you're you have a better

995
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 3: Tyler Bass here in the offseason than maybe you had

996
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 3: last the struggling.

997
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: He was, well, you remember last year he was coming

998
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: off the miss in Kansas City or in Buffalo at

999
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: the Kansas City game. Just send it to tie it up.

1000
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, you you know Diggs was out the door.

1001
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: Now he's got a sixty one game winner against Miami and.

1002
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 3: One last thing in Cleveland. Because I know we've been

1003
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 3: going round and round about this. It's not Isaiah Williams.

1004
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 3: I think you're thinking of ty Leak Williams, the Ohio

1005
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 3: State nos tackle. I think that's the guy you're talking about.

1006
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 3: So ty Leak Williams is his name, So make a

1007
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 3: note of it. He'll probably be a Day two pick somewhere.

1008
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 3: Got to take a break here though, as we are

1009
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: at the top of the hour. Coming up in hour

1010
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 3: number two, however, we're going to talk more draft with

1011
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 3: NFL dot Com draft analyst Chad Writer, who put together,

1012
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: Yes People, a five round mock draft.

1013
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 2: He is definitely around the bend. We'll talk to him

1014
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: about it and all the Bills picks.

1015
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 3: He made, including a trade up in round one. We'll

1016
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 3: talk about it with him next year. On One Bill's Live,

1017
00:49:50,400 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 3: presented by a Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1018
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Calllida Health.

1019
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 3: All Right, our number two on a Tuesday, as we

1020
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 3: are just over two weeks away in the twenty twenty

1021
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 3: five NFL Draft, and here to break down his latest

1022
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 3: marathon five round mock draft. NFL dot Com Draft analyst

1023
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 3: Chad Rider joining us here on the show. And you know,

1024
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 3: Steve and I we're talking about it, Chad, where we

1025
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 3: kind of like what you did here a little bit,

1026
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of the five rounds for the Bills,

1027
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 3: the most interesting of which is the first pick here.

1028
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 3: And I will say you are not alone in you know,

1029
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 3: projecting a receiver in round one to the Bills. And

1030
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: there are plenty of Bills fans who still have not

1031
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 3: recovered from this offense operating without a true, you know,

1032
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 3: number one receiver. Not to say this player would step

1033
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 3: right into such a role, but it would certainly make

1034
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 3: it interesting. But why don't you walk us through your

1035
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 3: logic and reasoning in having the Bills make a small

1036
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 3: move up the board in round one to take a receiver.

1037
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 11: Well, look, I don't want to pour any salt in

1038
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 11: any wounds. But if you remember last year in the

1039
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 11: first round, Kansas City convinced the Bills to move down

1040
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 11: and they took Xavier Worthy, and Xavier Worthy had six

1041
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 11: receptions eighty five yards in a touch down the AFF

1042
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 11: Championship game. So that, you know, may lead the team

1043
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 11: to think that maybe we should find another impact player.

1044
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 11: Kean Coleman, you know, made did some good things last year,

1045
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 11: but maybe we should find another guy to really be

1046
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 11: an impact player in offense. And to me, there they

1047
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 11: could look at two guys from Texas here, Matthew Golden,

1048
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 11: who I had them projected in the mock. He came

1049
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 11: on like gangbusters for that team. Texas needed him and

1050
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 11: he was great. He can separate downfield with speed or

1051
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 11: you know, he can use his arm a little bit.

1052
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 11: He's not afraid of a little contact. He can catch,

1053
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 11: he's a good hands cutcher. He's just a really and

1054
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 11: he's pretty strong. He'd be strong after the catch as well.

1055
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 11: And so I think that kind of downfield playmaker is

1056
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 11: going to be appreciated and you know, and and look,

1057
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 11: if he's not there, Isaiah Bond, his teammate, would be

1058
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 11: a pretty good pick in terms of a guy who's

1059
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 11: a legitimate like similar to Xavier Worthy in terms of

1060
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 11: his suddenness. So like either way, I think the Bills

1061
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 11: would but really benefit from having that kind of dynamic

1062
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:04,760
Speaker 11: guy on offense.

1063
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 2: Bond's looking more like a Day two prospect though, right.

1064
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 11: Well, everybody misses out on a couple of guys in

1065
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 11: the first round.

1066
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 12: Yeah, so if you're I mean, he.

1067
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 11: Could he could very well end up as a second

1068
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 11: round pick. But if you're looking for one of the

1069
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 11: surprise guys, and I'm always looking for those guys because

1070
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 11: there's a couple of them, that's the guy that do

1071
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 11: it because he does things with the ball in his

1072
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 11: hands and a lot of receivers don't in this draft,

1073
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 11: and if you're good with everything of that player, you

1074
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 11: know teams are going to look at him in the

1075
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 11: first round.

1076
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 12: I've had him in the first round my last couple

1077
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 12: of mock drafts.

1078
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 11: Is that kind of surprise guy, So you know, watch out,

1079
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 11: And I think the Bills are having a you know,

1080
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 11: come into town for a visit too, so you're never

1081
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,479
Speaker 11: quite sure if that's a second round thought or first

1082
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 11: round thought with those guys.

1083
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 12: But he's he's a legit first round talent.

1084
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. And as you as you get further down, you know,

1085
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: anybody who thinks, you know, wide receiver might be not

1086
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: the right pick or the right position for the Bills.

1087
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: He is a legit dude. I mean, he's gonna come

1088
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: in and play for somebody in the NFL. He's got

1089
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: those kind of measurables. And in your subsequent picks, through

1090
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: your five round mock, you get right back to where

1091
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: I think most Bills fans think the meat of this

1092
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: draft needs to be. Your round two selection. Is Nick

1093
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 1: scouting scorting the edge from from Texas, A and.

1094
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 11: M Yeah, and I think you know the team obviously

1095
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 11: not gonna have Von Miller issues, you know, with the

1096
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 11: depth at the line right now, even though they signed

1097
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 11: a couple of free agents start the year off, they're

1098
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 11: gonna need some more bodies there. And you can really

1099
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 11: never have enough bodies up front.

1100
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 12: Epiness.

1101
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 11: I believe as a free agent after this year as well,

1102
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 11: So you get a Valuelex Scort and look at the

1103
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 11: Bills are in a good position where they have a

1104
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 11: really good roster. Brandon Bean's done a great job building

1105
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 11: a roster there, and they have parts of their roster

1106
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 11: that could be improved, but they they don't have to

1107
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 11: reach for somebody. They can let the board fall a

1108
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 11: little bit in the second, third round and really gets

1109
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 11: solid players, and Scort would be a great addition for them.

1110
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 11: He's more of a power rusher, which they've had great

1111
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 11: success with guys like Greg Russo who should have never

1112
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 11: fallen to them, but he did, and he would be

1113
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 11: pritty for that. He's a He's a high motor guy,

1114
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 11: very productive, probably could really do better than some of

1115
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 11: the guys that'll probably get picked in the first round

1116
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 11: of this draft.

1117
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just at six four, two eighty. I was

1118
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 3: just surprised at how nimble he is. He's got really

1119
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 3: nimble feed for a heavy, thick, you know, edge type player.

1120
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 6: Uh.

1121
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 3: And then after that, you know, you kind of double

1122
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 3: down on the defensive line and you get him a

1123
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 3: defensive tackle with the next second round pick, and you

1124
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 3: go Josh Farmer Florida State, which you know is a

1125
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 3: player that you know, we've seen as a popular day

1126
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 3: to selection for Buffalo The thing that amazes me about

1127
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 3: him is just what a loose athlete he is. I mean, bend,

1128
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 3: he's got good feet and you know he's six three

1129
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 3: three eighteen. That's just don't see that very often.

1130
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 12: That's right. He's very active at a guy for that size.

1131
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 12: It's amazing how he how he moves.

1132
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 11: And uh here Tyler Williams from Ohio State kind of

1133
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 11: similar guys in terms of Williams is a little bigger,

1134
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 11: but they move much bigger. That are much better than

1135
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 11: you would think for a guy who may plug as

1136
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 11: a no quote nose tackle.

1137
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 12: But I think he does a little bit of everything.

1138
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 11: He's can get to get in the quarterbacks face if

1139
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 11: you give him an opportunity. He's not gonna have ten

1140
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 11: sacks a year probably, but combination of his ability to

1141
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 11: chase down runners, break down the pocket, it's you know,

1142
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 11: really solid. There's gonna be a couple of really solid

1143
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 11: guys available in late and late round two if you

1144
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 11: want to continue to build her own at Oliver.

1145
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: Now we've also you know, we've discussed at length that

1146
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: most and certainly there's been some stuff on social lately

1147
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: that you know, big, strong, athletic guys tend to go

1148
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: first in the draft because they're genetically rare guys who

1149
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: can really move and who are athletes, not just big guys. Yeah,

1150
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: tend to go higher in the draft. And then as

1151
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: you get down into your fourth round of this mock draft,

1152
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: I think you kind of fall to it. I say

1153
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: this all the time to Brown and he laughs at me.

1154
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: But anytime you go to an NFL game, there's probably

1155
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: twelve guys in the stands that are athletic enough to play.

1156
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,919
Speaker 1: Because those guys are everywhere. You got them in every

1157
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: sport and lacrosse, in soccer, in football, basketball, You've got

1158
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: athletes that are normal, like normal size six foot or

1159
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: so that can play. So Yeah, into the round four, five, six, seven,

1160
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: Christian Benford is a great example. You're gonna find athletes

1161
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: and the question is do they have between the years

1162
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: to play well. In your fourth round selection for the Bills,

1163
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant is you know out of Kansas, the cornerback

1164
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: is another right at the spot where the Bills seem

1165
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: to need.

1166
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I think he's a guy that you know,

1167
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 11: he's not an elite athlete, but at the shrin how

1168
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 11: was at try and game practices this year, and he

1169
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 11: showed the competitiveness that really makes him play bigger than

1170
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 11: you know, his one hundred and eighty pounds six foot

1171
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 11: one eighty. He plays much more competitive than that, plays

1172
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 11: more physical than that. And a team gets him in

1173
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 11: like the fourth fifth round as a guy that's gonna

1174
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 11: come in and he's gonna play immediately. He's gonna have

1175
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 11: ball skills, he isn't backed down from anybody. It's really

1176
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 11: a solid pick in the middle of the draft, and

1177
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 11: like you said, they've found some they've phoned some deals

1178
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 11: at that position before a little bit later in the draft,

1179
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 11: so I you know, i'd love to see that that pick.

1180
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 11: A lot of people thought he might go a little

1181
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 11: earlier than this, but in the end, like teams, like

1182
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 11: you said, teams are gonna take athletes and other guys

1183
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 11: that maybe aren't this athletic, are just normally athletic, but

1184
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 11: bring some something else to the table. That's where they go,

1185
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 11: you know, in the fourth round, early fifth round.

1186
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I actually felt he plays a little bit

1187
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 3: faster than his time speed, which was four or five three,

1188
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 3: And I think it's because he's got and I think

1189
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 3: the other thing that works in his favor.

1190
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 2: He's got a big and proven body of work.

1191
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about a four year starter with

1192
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 3: thirteen career interceptions in twenty one pass breakups. There's good

1193
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 3: ball production over a long period of time. Like for

1194
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 3: a fourth round pick, there aren't a lot of question

1195
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 3: marks about what you're getting.

1196
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, And then the issue with him is.

1197
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 11: Everything was in front of him kind of at Kansas,

1198
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 11: and if you are playing that kind of you're playing

1199
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 11: him off and he can attack the ball or he

1200
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 11: gets into trouble because he doesn't have great recovery speed.

1201
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 12: If he takes a false.

1202
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 11: Step, then there's an issue and he's not going to

1203
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 11: be able to get back. And so that's the thing

1204
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 11: with him that teams maybe are a little wary of.

1205
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 11: But yeah, again, he's going to be a deal for

1206
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 11: somebody on day three.

1207
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 2: The other guy.

1208
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 3: Ahead, and the other guy that you picked is one

1209
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 3: of my favorite guys at his position is the Penn

1210
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 3: State kid. Jalen Reid had to play and fill a

1211
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 3: lot bigger role with his fellow safety Winston out due

1212
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 3: to injury at Penn State. And I think this guy

1213
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 3: can do a little bit of everything.

1214
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 11: Yes, absolutely, Again, there's another guy I thought, maybe you'll

1215
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 11: go in the third and fourth round. Again, not the

1216
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 11: world's greatest athlete, so he may fall down the board

1217
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 11: and be available a little bit later. But like you said,

1218
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 11: you can line him up in the slot. He can

1219
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 11: play deep, he can play in the box. Tough guy,

1220
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 11: competitive guy, and that's you know, a lot of people

1221
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 11: make a lot of big deal a lot of athleticism

1222
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 11: and defensive backs and you know, for a reason, but

1223
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 11: competitiveness is really the number one thing for me, and

1224
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 11: he is all of that. He is going to play

1225
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 11: Nickels somewhere. He's going to be really good, and he

1226
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 11: can play deep if you need him to. He's a

1227
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 11: guy that you can really move around on your defense

1228
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 11: and make offense and wonder.

1229
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 12: What he was going to do next.

1230
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 11: So sometimes those guys are available on day three just

1231
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 11: because maybe teams aren't sure what position he's gonna play,

1232
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 11: or maybe he's not the best athlete, or maybe they

1233
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 11: want to meet other needs first. But yeah, I really

1234
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 11: like him as a guy on day three that's going

1235
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 11: to come in and contribute immediately, probably on special teams

1236
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 11: as well, but also on defense.

1237
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: One of the things you guys did also at NFL

1238
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: dot com. Is you had each like two ideal draft

1239
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: picks for each team. Right at the top of the draft.

1240
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: You also had, you know, thet Matthew Golden is the

1241
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: guy that you you actually mocked to the Bills, so

1242
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: we've been over him. The other one is the Iowa

1243
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: State cornerback Darien Porter. Obviously, yeah, obviously is a position

1244
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 1: of need.

1245
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1246
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 11: I mean, like you said, you know, he's got the

1247
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 11: ball skills being a farmer receiver, got the height that

1248
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 11: the team typically likes at the position. You know, not

1249
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 11: the thickest guy of all time, but uh, you know,

1250
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 11: he's he's very athletic, he can get the ball, not

1251
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 11: afraid of contact either.

1252
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 12: As the reason they moved him.

1253
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 11: Over and wanted him to play that position when he

1254
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 11: wasn't getting time at receiver.

1255
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 12: So he does it a little bit of everything.

1256
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 11: But look, he's really he's got the speed you want,

1257
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 11: he's got the agility you want. And in the late

1258
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 11: second round, if you can find a guy like that

1259
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 11: who's got starter potential, that would be a great fine

1260
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 11: for him. With with that you know particular article I

1261
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 11: only gave, I only put each guy once for one team.

1262
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 11: Because you know, some like twelve teams could like him,

1263
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 11: you know, but the way the things struck out, he

1264
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 11: was available to them, so I thought he'd be a

1265
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 11: great fit for opposition we need.

1266
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 3: We'd be remiss if we didn't point out that with

1267
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 3: the last pick in your five round mock for the Bills,

1268
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 3: you took the local first team All American from the

1269
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 3: University of Buffalo, Sean Dolak, the linebacker. The Bills already

1270
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 3: have three players from you Be on their roster, and

1271
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 3: JaMarcus Ingram and Joe Andreson who's also a linebacker that

1272
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 3: made the roster as an undrafted kid, and then Cam Lewis,

1273
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 3: who's you know, been a reliable backup for them for years.

1274
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 3: What appealed to you in just handing him to the Bills?

1275
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 11: You know, when you do like three or four of

1276
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 11: these mock drafts, you gotta throw some interesting storylines in there, right,

1277
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 11: I mean, that kind of stuff happens in the draft.

1278
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 11: And Dolac was really underappreciated during his career Nationally one

1279
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 11: of the most productive players in the country, and maybe

1280
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 11: because they didn't weren't sure how athletic he really is.

1281
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 11: I mean, he looks he's all over the place on

1282
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 11: the field, but when he worked out, well, now teams

1283
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 11: are wondering, Okay, did we underestimate this guy a little bit?

1284
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 11: He should have been at the combine and he wasn't.

1285
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 11: And they find a guy like that in the fifth round.

1286
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:14,439
Speaker 12: Local guy.

1287
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 11: Great story, plug him in again, special teams, backup linebacker.

1288
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 12: He may grow into more in times.

1289
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 11: So like I just thought it was a great fit

1290
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 11: of storyline and need and a guy who deserves to

1291
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 11: be talking about.

1292
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had some unbelievable statistics.

1293
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 3: One hundred and seventy seven interception return yards I think

1294
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 3: led the conference. And I think he also had like

1295
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty eight tackles this last year or

1296
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 3: something ridiculous.

1297
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he led all of the college football and tackles.

1298
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, and I mean a lot of those tackles.

1299
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 11: Maybe he's the second or third guy in, but he's

1300
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 11: around the ball, and you know he's that's why he's

1301
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 11: not going to be like a first you know, a

1302
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 11: top one hundred player, but he's gonna be a guy

1303
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 11: that's going to, you know, make your team and he's

1304
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 11: going to make an impact maybe you know as a

1305
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 11: rookie on teams and then moving forward on defense.

1306
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: What do you think will be the tenor of this

1307
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: first round of the draft, particularly at the top. We

1308
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: always ask, you know, all the analysts to come on,

1309
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: you think there's gonna be some movement with the you know,

1310
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: the Titans, the Browns, the Giants, those kind of teams.

1311
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: Do you think there's gonna be some movement up there?

1312
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 11: I don't really project that this year. A lot of

1313
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 11: years recently, excuse me, there hasn't been as much movement

1314
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 11: at the top, and what has happened has happened like

1315
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 11: well in advance of the draft, and I think it's

1316
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 11: gonna be pretty quote boring at the top, where teams

1317
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 11: are just taking the players they want, and then by

1318
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 11: the time the tenth, eleventh, twelfth pick comes around, you'll

1319
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 11: start seeing some more movement to get maybe the guys

1320
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 11: that are in the second tier of talent. That's that's

1321
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 11: my guess as of today. But the interesting thing will

1322
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 11: be there's gonna be there's not a lot of consensus,

1323
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 11: there hasn't been up until now anyway, on how high

1324
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 11: is Shirir Sanders is gonna go? Uh are is Will

1325
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 11: Campbell going to overcome the length, the at length of length,

1326
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,439
Speaker 11: and the narrow base to be a top four pick

1327
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 11: with the Titans take him. There's there's some interesting questions

1328
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 11: yet to be determined on the order of the guys

1329
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 11: that are at the top of the draft.

1330
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 2: Chad, appreciate the time.

1331
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 3: As always, we'll catch up with you down the line here,

1332
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 3: but thanks for the insight and good luck with the

1333
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 3: seven round mock. When's that coming out on NFL dot Com.

1334
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 12: I'll be out the Friday before.

1335
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 3: The draft, Okay, thanks, so we'll keep an eye out

1336
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 3: for that on NFL dot Com.

1337
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 2: Thanks very much.

1338
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 12: Thanks guys.

1339
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 3: All right, that's Chad Ryder joining us NFL dot Com

1340
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 3: Draft analyst has a five round mockout right now.

1341
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 2: And I'd be pretty happy with this. Yeah, I mean

1342
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 2: he has been the Bills moving up from pick thirty

1343
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 2: to twenty seven in a trade with the Ravens. They

1344
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 2: give up one of their fourth round picks to do

1345
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 2: it and get a sixth rounder back. So he has.

1346
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 3: Matthew Golden round one to quiet all the people on

1347
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 3: the wide receiver train, and then he goes defensive end

1348
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 3: Nick Scurton, who I like, good player, edge rusher, six

1349
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 3: four to two eighty. Then goes Josh Farmer, defensive tackle

1350
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 3: with the second second round pick out of FSU. Then

1351
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant in round four the corner from Kansas, Jalen

1352
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 3: Read the safety from Penn State, who I like a lot,

1353
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 3: and then he picked a guard from Sacramento State, Jackson Slater.

1354
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 3: But then he goes Sean Dolak, the linebacker from UB

1355
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 3: with the final pick in round five.

1356
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 2: That'd be a pretty good haul, pretty good haul for

1357
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 2: the Bills because you've got a defensive interior edge rusher,

1358
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 2: you got a corner, you know.

1359
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: And you even got a safety so to playmaking wide out.

1360
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1361
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Oh by the way, yeah that's yeah, that'd be great. Yeah.

1362
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: And for the you know, you need those guys to

1363
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: work out obviously, but still.

1364
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 3: And then just so everybody knows, Sean Dolac was invited

1365
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 3: by the Bills to the local Pro Day. Each team,

1366
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 3: each NFL club can invite local prospects and Dolac would

1367
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 3: obviously fall in that category to work out at the

1368
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 3: local Pro Day, and that is coming up three days

1369
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 3: from now, April eleventh. Dolac will be getting tested and

1370
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 3: worked out in those drills. So we'll see if we

1371
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 3: can get some results on those in just a few

1372
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:08,479
Speaker 3: days time.

1373
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones though.

1374
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 3: At EIGHTO three zero five fifty eight five fifty two

1375
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 3: five fifty so we're talking about the Bill's roster and

1376
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 3: if it's better now than it was last year.

1377
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 2: At this time, we go to Tom in Lakawana. Next.

1378
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 2: What do you got first?

1379
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 10: Tom?

1380
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 2: You're on one Bill's Live.

1381
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,959
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, Uh, Yeah, I would say it's definitely better

1382
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 13: this year, mostly because of everybody we re signed is

1383
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 13: a year older. Plus they've played more regular as a regular,

1384
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 13: and based on their Bill's DNA, I expect them to

1385
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 13: work even harder to prove their contracts. So and then

1386
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 13: I had one question and then a comment. My question

1387
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 13: is I think cornerback is where they should go. Who

1388
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 13: do you think will best be available and healthy at

1389
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 13: pick thirty? And then do you think? I mean Cook

1390
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 13: has nowhere to go, He's just got to play out

1391
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 13: another year, right? What do you think? You know his

1392
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 13: brother got in like Diggs's brother got in, yak andy yakayak.

1393
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 13: Is that going to be a problem in the locker room?

1394
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good question, Tom. I want to believe

1395
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 3: it won't be. But it's hard not to think that

1396
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 3: James Cook is a little unhappy because he just watched

1397
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 3: all of his fellow twenty twenty two draft class members

1398
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 3: that are worth anything get contract extensions.

1399
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 2: Now that's not the Bill's fault.

1400
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 3: You know, it takes two to make a deal come

1401
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 3: to fruition, and the two sides did not see his

1402
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 3: value the same way. Otherwise an extension I think would

1403
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 3: have gotten done, and that didn't happen. So now you

1404
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 3: got to decide whether you're going to come back to

1405
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 3: the negotiating table at some point during the season to

1406
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 3: maybe get something done, either right before the season starts

1407
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 3: or down the line, so you don't.

1408
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:07,839
Speaker 2: Get the free agency.

1409
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 3: But if James Cook has a big year, a monster year,

1410
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 3: he's probably gonna go to the market and say, let

1411
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 3: me see what my true value is.

1412
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't. And I think that's one of

1413
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 1: the things the Bills are willing to do. If like

1414
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 1: they did, he'll he'll get treated like he did with

1415
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: like Tremaine Edmonds did, who signed a fifteen million dollars

1416
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: a year deal. I mean, that's what they'll allow James

1417
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 1: Cook to do if he wants. That's why That's what

1418
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: happened to Gabe Davis as well, and those guys are

1419
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: probably very happy with their paycheck now, But it does

1420
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: put him off a year from as early as possible

1421
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: an extension as he could sign, and I think it's

1422
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, for me, I think it's more of a

1423
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: function of his position rather than his production.

1424
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 3: As for cornerbacks that could be there at thirty, I

1425
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 3: think the general consensus is that John A. Baron Will

1426
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 3: Johnson will both be off the board by the time

1427
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 3: you get to pick thirty.

1428
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 2: So I think players that will be on.

1429
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 3: The board will be ole Miss Corner, Tray Amos Florida

1430
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 3: State corner is ai A Thomas, and East Carolina Corner

1431
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 3: Chevn Revel.

1432
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 2: I think all.

1433
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 3: Three of them have a chance of being there. Of

1434
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 3: that group, I think Revel is the is the only

1435
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 3: guy that has a chance to go sooner than that,

1436
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 3: provided all his medical rechecks clear. Max Hairston should be there,

1437
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 3: but there might be some off the field stuff there

1438
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 3: to investigate and vet, and that would be the group.

1439
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 2: Now. A lot of.

1440
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 3: People have Amos from ole Miss and his aaria A

1441
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 3: Thomas from Florida State as more of the early Day

1442
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 3: two variety in terms of cornerback talent. Jacob Parrish is

1443
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 3: another corner that I like a lot. He's a little

1444
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 3: on the small side at five ten, one ninety two,

1445
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 3: but he plays bigger than that.

1446
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 2: He's a physical player.

1447
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 3: And there's another kid who people thought highly of, but

1448
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 3: he's got an injury history and might not come off

1449
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 3: the board until Day two as well. And that's the

1450
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 3: Notre Dame prospect Benjamin Morrison, who has a history of injuries.

1451
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 3: He had a shoulder injury that required surgery last year

1452
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 3: at this time before his last college season, then suffered

1453
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 3: a hip injury during his twenty twenty four season that

1454
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 3: required surgery. And that's not the first time he's had

1455
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 3: a hip injury. He had another one in high school.

1456
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 3: So they'll be combing through his medical files and that's

1457
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 3: why I think he probably slides to Day two as well.

1458
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 3: I'll say this one a capable player.

1459
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 1: We just had Chad Ryder on his pick of dary

1460
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 1: Importer is not far off Darienn Porter six y.

1461
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 2: Three, right, but he had hit him as a Round

1462
01:11:59,160 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 2: two pick.

1463
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: Yeah at six three, and he's just ninety five at

1464
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,919
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds and he runs a four to three.

1465
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 3: Yep jump thirty six and a half. You're jumping thirty

1466
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 3: six and a half at six three. Yeah, there's not

1467
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 3: a lot of jump balls.

1468
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: You're losing. That's right.

1469
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 3: Here's the most impressive testing number. I think the two

1470
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 3: most impressing impressive testing numbers for me for a six

1471
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 3: three one ninety five corner a six seven to one

1472
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 3: three cone and a four h four short shuttle. Right, so,

1473
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 3: even though he's long and lanky, he has short area quickness.

1474
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 1: Explain what those are so people who don't. So.

1475
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 2: The three cone drill is also called the l drill,

1476
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 2: which really determines a player's short area quickness and lateral agility,

1477
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 2: which is pretty important at the cornerback position because you're

1478
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 2: going backwards ninety percent of the time And if you

1479
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 2: run sub seven seconds in the three cone and your

1480
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 2: six three one ninety five, you have short area quickness.

1481
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 2: There is no debating it.

1482
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 3: And then the short shuttle you can speak to better

1483
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 3: short sho that's agility two five yards one change of.

1484
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: Directions, ten yards back the other way, and then five

1485
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: yards back through where you lined up. It's uh, that's it.

1486
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 2: You do anything under a four to two right in

1487
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 2: the short shuttle a four damn good.

1488
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: A four to one is considered very fast, and he

1489
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: did a four point zero four, soho, he's faster than

1490
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: that and a longer guys tend to be able to

1491
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: do that. But yeah, he getting him at one of

1492
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: the fifty six or sixty two spot.

1493
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 2: That would be a steal.

1494
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: Huge.

1495
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 3: The only because the only knock on him is he's

1496
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 3: young at the position. He has one year of starting

1497
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 3: experience at corner, so there might be some tough lessons

1498
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 3: out there and some growing pains, particularly at the NFL level.

1499
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 2: But if he's good enough physically.

1500
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 3: And the traits are there, I mean, it's obvious he

1501
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 3: has the traits and he has great hands, so if

1502
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 3: the balls in his area, he's pulling it down.

1503
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 2: He's a former receiver, he.

1504
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Was a wide out, so yeah, he's he's really tall,

1505
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: really fast, uh, and athletics. So I'm I'm very intrigued

1506
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: by him because he has some traits that Bill's like, Yeah,

1507
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: and his first year as a starter historically three interceptions,

1508
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: so you know, not crazy ball potential, but it's there.

1509
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 3: So we'll see a long, tall corner with arms to

1510
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 3: match and he jumps thirty six and a half inches,

1511
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 3: so he's pulling it off the you know, the crossbar

1512
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 3: of the once.

1513
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 2: So there it is.

1514
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 3: We got to take a break here, but more of

1515
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 3: your phone calls when we come back. We'll lead off

1516
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 3: with Rich in Buffalo, as we're asking you as the

1517
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 3: draft approaches, is the Bills roster better now than it

1518
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 3: was last year at this time? And why eight oh

1519
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 3: three five point fifty more of your phone calls? Next

1520
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,680
Speaker 3: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collide Health and

1521
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 3: S Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, Chris grassles after back

1522
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 3: to get here on One Girls Live, and I'm gonna

1523
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 3: get right back to the phones where we've been asking

1524
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:04,640
Speaker 3: you today. Is the Bills roster better now than it

1525
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 3: was last year?

1526
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 2: At this time?

1527
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 3: They had just traded Stefan Diggs on April fourth, so

1528
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 3: he was already off the roster. Most of the free

1529
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 3: agents signings had taken place, like Mac Collins and others.

1530
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 3: So you let us know eight oh three, five fifty

1531
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 3: you had some open lines for you. But as promised,

1532
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,600
Speaker 3: we leave this segment off with Rich in Buffalo, what

1533
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 3: do you got for us?

1534
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 9: Rich mister Tasker. First of all, it's the privilege to

1535
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 9: speak to you.

1536
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 10: No offense, Brownie, untaken, I predicted your block in the

1537
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 10: Super Bowl.

1538
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 4: But here's my take.

1539
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 10: I just watched the Rams Bills game and I saw

1540
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 10: Stafford carve us up like Thanksgiving dinner, and I saw

1541
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 10: the running back Williams run all over the place. My

1542
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,759
Speaker 10: thing is this, I know we need another wide receiver,

1543
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 10: but my first three picks, says tackled ed rusher and

1544
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 10: a shutdown cornerback. And then eventually you get the I

1545
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 10: hate to say this, the James Cook replacement, but we

1546
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 10: got to get much better on defense. Some of the

1547
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 10: teams that were just running wild on us. Yes, I

1548
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 10: know we had a great record, but we got to

1549
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 10: get more pressure on the quarterback. They said Stafford had

1550
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 10: all day yep.

1551
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 3: And.

1552
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 8: Are you still there ahead, Oh yeah, we did.

1553
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 10: We got to get some guys other than.

1554
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 4: Whoever we have now.

1555
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 10: We got to get some new blood and they got

1556
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:47,560
Speaker 10: to get to the quarterback and disrupt the game. Otherwise,

1557
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 10: you know, Josh Allen is only human. I know he's superman,

1558
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 10: but you know he can't do it all by himself.

1559
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 10: And like I said, we just got to get defense, defense, defense,

1560
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 10: The first three picks got to be a defense.

1561
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a.

1562
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 3: Good game example to point out Rich. Yeah, because Josh

1563
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 3: Allen had six touchdowns, ran for three, two points, through

1564
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 3: for three and they lost the game. And it was

1565
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 3: due largely to the fact that, Yeah, to your point, Rich,

1566
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 3: they had Matthew Stafford was carving the Bills defense up

1567
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 3: just as much as Josh was the Rams defense. And

1568
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 3: the Rams actually have a pass rush. So you know,

1569
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 3: to me, I could not agree with you more. I

1570
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,520
Speaker 3: want the first three picks to go to the defensive

1571
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 3: side of the ball. And if you get two defensive

1572
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 3: linemen in a corner, and I don't even care what order,

1573
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 3: I am over the moon, Absolutely over the moon, because

1574
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 3: I think it will inherently make your defense at the

1575
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 3: very least deeper from a defensive front perspective, and better

1576
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 3: on the back end with a corner somewhere on the

1577
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 3: first two days.

1578
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 2: That's probably gonna have to start.

1579
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: At this point that that's what we're all looking for.

1580
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: The defense has to be even in the big picture,

1581
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 1: whether the first guy first pick is a receiver, whatever,

1582
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:11,719
Speaker 1: whatever order you did, defense has to be the focus.

1583
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 2: If they do pick ten picks.

1584
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be at least six defenders,

1585
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:20,799
Speaker 1: maybe seven. Uh, and the others are down the draft,

1586
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 1: down the list. I really think, certainly I could be

1587
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 1: talked into something other than that at pick thirty, because

1588
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 1: at pick thirty you got to get a guy, whether

1589
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: he's offense or defense. But this draft has to focus

1590
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, at least where

1591
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: the roster sits right now. Even with you know, Ogan, Jobi,

1592
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: with Hoyt, with Bosa, all those guys on this roster,

1593
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 1: I get it. Even so, defense has to be the focus,

1594
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: particularly given what we know Josh has been able to

1595
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: do with the guys on the offensive side of the ball.

1596
01:18:56,880 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: You gotta believe this offense right now is sitting better

1597
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: than it was at this time twelve months ago. And

1598
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,560
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, nobody scored more points in the

1599
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:10,760
Speaker 1: regular and postseason than the Buffalo Bills. Nobody, and you

1600
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,600
Speaker 1: got to expect they're gonna be able to continue that.

1601
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: Even if they're not number one, they're gonna be up there,

1602
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna be hard to catch. It has to be

1603
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 1: all about defense on this draft, and I think that's

1604
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:22,640
Speaker 1: where we're gonna sit and for the next you know,

1605
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:24,679
Speaker 1: just over two weeks, we're gonna be sitting here pounding

1606
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 1: on that drum unequivocally.

1607
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 2: I will they if they take three defensive players in

1608
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 2: the first three rounds and two of them are defensive

1609
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:36,799
Speaker 2: linemen and one's a corner, I'm gonna be yippie kyo

1610
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 2: and all around this building.

1611
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 1: Brownie's gonna be conducting the super Bowl train for the

1612
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills as well.

1613
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 2: You should what's the horn for that? It's a different hornet.

1614
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: It should be a different horn. I don't know what

1615
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: it would be. But nevertheless, the Brownie would be the

1616
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: conductor of that.

1617
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 2: I would the conductor the engineer. I'll think I'll shovel

1618
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:56,680
Speaker 2: coal in the engine. I don't care.

1619
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 3: I'll do bunch your tickets down there right walking down

1620
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 3: the click tickets please please, Yeah, I'll do that, absolutely

1621
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 3: doing that. We mentioned the Notre Dame corner. Benjamin Morrison

1622
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 3: a little bit earlier in the show has not tested

1623
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 3: as of yet because of a hip injury after six

1624
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 3: games into his final season with Notre Dame that required surgery.

1625
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 3: There is news that just crossed he is going to

1626
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 3: test for NFL clubs on April twenty first at his

1627
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 3: high school in Arizona. So I think he realizes he's

1628
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 3: got to provide some numbers to NFL clubs so they

1629
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 3: know they can have some measure of confidence that he's healthy,

1630
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 3: good to go, and more importantly, to give them a

1631
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 3: raw athletics score that they can utilize as part of

1632
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,679
Speaker 3: you know, his file. And so that's going to happen

1633
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 3: April twenty first, it's three days before the draft.

1634
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and obviously his medical is on the top of

1635
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: his file. His physical scores are below that. So he's

1636
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: got to prove that he can get healthy and stay healthy.

1637
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 3: Yes, because he does have an injury history, hip injury

1638
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 3: in high school, shoulder injury last spring that required surgery

1639
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 3: from the spring game. I believe it happened at Notre Dame.

1640
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 3: Then has the hip injury that requires surgery during the

1641
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 3: season last fall.

1642
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,200
Speaker 2: There's other pre draft visit news.

1643
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 3: The Browns, who have the second pick in the draft,

1644
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 3: are having Georgia linebacker slash pass rusher Jalen Walker visit

1645
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 3: on a pre draft visit. Now, the reason this is

1646
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 3: interesting is because with the second pick in the draft,

1647
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 3: it's widely believed that if they want a defensive player,

1648
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 3: they would just take Abdul Carter with the second overall pick.

1649
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 3: There has been increasing speculation that they may just go

1650
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 3: with Travis Hunter and use him on offense to help

1651
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 3: a Cleveland offense that sorely needs help and no longer

1652
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 3: has Amari Cooper. The other thought with this is, if

1653
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 3: you're sitting down and spending the whole day with Jalen Walker,

1654
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 3: does this indicate that the Browns would be interested in

1655
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 3: moving out of the number two pick and slide back

1656
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 3: to say eight or nine where Carolina sits, and take

1657
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 3: Jalen Walker ninth, which is kind of where he's been mocked. Right,

1658
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 3: He's gonna be a top ten pick. He's my favorite

1659
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 3: defensive ye. Yeah, he's love that case.

1660
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: He's a Ray Lewis type leader. Yes, so yeah, that

1661
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 1: would be a possibility, depending on what else you get.

1662
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 1: If you get another.

1663
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 2: Two, yeah, I think for three or whatever.

1664
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's I mean, that's a.

1665
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you wouldn't.

1666
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 3: I mean, you're not getting Abdul Carter, but you're getting

1667
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 3: a player that it's not too far off and can

1668
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 3: also play off the ball linebacker as well as rush

1669
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 3: from the edge and a little more versatility.

1670
01:22:54,840 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 1: Guys like Jalen Walker are the type who late everybody

1671
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: that's on the team with them. They demand accountability from

1672
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: the players around them, and your whole defensive side of

1673
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: the ball is better because that guy is barking at

1674
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: him all the time. And that's that's an intangible thing

1675
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 1: that you kind of got to hope that it's there,

1676
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:25,839
Speaker 1: you know. But this guy, he's he's shown that's exactly

1677
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 1: what he is.

1678
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:31,679
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, I'm watching Georgia against Alabama down

1679
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 3: in tusca Loosa this fall and Georgia is in a

1680
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,720
Speaker 3: twenty three to nothing hole.

1681
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:42,440
Speaker 2: In like the first half. He is on the sidelines

1682
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 2: rallying the troops like you wouldn't believe in what happened.

1683
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 3: They came all the way back, Yeah, and actually took

1684
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 3: the lead. They ended up losing the game, but they

1685
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 3: came all the way back and the defense kind of

1686
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 3: triggered it.

1687
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: You could see, I don't know, but you could see

1688
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: if you look at the after order, you could see

1689
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: a team like a New England or at number five,

1690
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: no I'm sorry, four, or the Jets at seven. Now

1691
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 1: that both those teams have all kinds of needs. And

1692
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get.

1693
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 2: Into the Jets don't need another pass rush your good lord.

1694
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: But this is the kind of guy that makes your

1695
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: team better. And if for a guy like Aaron Glenn,

1696
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Jets, who's trying to create

1697
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: a call, he says, he was quoted today he said, listen,

1698
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: I'm here to get a culture together. Then think about

1699
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the super Bowl. I'm changing them. And

1700
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: they fired one hundred and seventy people in the building. Yeah,

1701
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: kind of they took early retirement, they bought them out.

1702
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: That it's a whole different organization. And if he's thinking

1703
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: about that, this is the Jalen Walker's the kind of

1704
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 1: player that would feed that. Yep. So the Jets at

1705
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 1: seven to me, Jalen Walker is the perfect fit for

1706
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: them because of that. Now you're all we're talking about

1707
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: the the intangible stuff. This isn't a measurable so you

1708
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 1: can I don't know he's but that's the kind of

1709
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 1: ify kind of thing. You gotta think about it. And

1710
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: if if Aaron Glenn's gonna do what Dan Campbell did

1711
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: and change the organization completely over from decades of mediocrity

1712
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: and worse. You need players like Jalen Walker.

1713
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 3: They also need a bunch of offensively, Yeah, they need

1714
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 3: a ton of that's the problem in the draft where

1715
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 3: that's the tackle class is not deep, right, so that

1716
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 3: so it's probably a tackle at seven. But if you

1717
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 3: see them make a pick like Jalen Walker, that's the

1718
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 3: reason why.

1719
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. So we'll see. But Jalen Walker would

1720
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 1: fit that high in the draft.

1721
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 2: Yes, oh no, there could be a reach from a

1722
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 2: talent perspective.

1723
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:47,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see, we'll see. But that's that's the

1724
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: kind of guy. And that's those are kind of you know,

1725
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: those that's insight into the kind of decisions you got

1726
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: to make. Yeah, particular with a new head coach. And

1727
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: and you know, you're talking about teams that are trying

1728
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: to turn it around from where it's like a Cleveland

1729
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: and a New York Jet kind of thing. They're trying

1730
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:04,599
Speaker 1: to turn it all the way around and change who

1731
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: they are. The type of players you get are more

1732
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 1: important in those moments than there Think about the Bills

1733
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 1: when they got Turnavious White and Tremaine Edmonds. You know,

1734
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 1: and Josh, you're trying to change a personality of a team,

1735
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: not just the talent level.

1736
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 3: We are up against the break, so we got to

1737
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 3: step aside here. When we come back, we'll crack open

1738
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 3: the tweet sheet for the first time. See what your

1739
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 3: comments are there regarding the Bills roster and if it's

1740
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,679
Speaker 3: better now then it was a year ago at this time,

1741
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 3: So we'll check that out when we return here. On

1742
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,879
Speaker 3: One Bill's Live presented by Collida Health, it's Buffalo Bill's raiding.

1743
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 2: All right.

1744
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 3: Last second year On a Tuesday edition to One Bills Live,

1745
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 3: I wanted to get some thoughts on the tweet sheet

1746
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,719
Speaker 3: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1747
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:03,840
Speaker 3: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, asking you as the

1748
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 3: draft approaches, is the Bill's roster better now than it

1749
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 3: was last year at this time?

1750
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 2: And why?

1751
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 3: Jacob on the tweets sheet says much better. The only

1752
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,640
Speaker 3: area that is weaker is corner. Bills still have the

1753
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 3: draft and potential free agency to still fill that void.

1754
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:22,679
Speaker 3: O line wide receiver, running back, linebacker, safety all better,

1755
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 3: especially with experience Dorian Williams and Milano healthy. So Jacob

1756
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 3: thinks better. Joel says not better. Weaker at corner wide

1757
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,879
Speaker 3: receiver and defensive line. With the departures of Raswull, Douglas,

1758
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:39,799
Speaker 3: Amari Cooper and the suspensions of d line free agent signees,

1759
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:45,679
Speaker 3: safety still is questionable area with no real standout starter.

1760
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 1: I don't know to a divergent viewpoint, don't think people

1761
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 1: listen last one, Joel. I don't think he's remembering where

1762
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: we were last year at this time.

1763
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the cupboard was bare, we had been traded, we

1764
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:00,759
Speaker 3: were getting picked third in the division.

1765
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: We had guys going, well, they can't compete. Yeah, I

1766
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,559
Speaker 1: mean they were literally saying it, and that was because

1767
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:08,559
Speaker 1: they were looking at the roster. This year, nobody's saying

1768
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,840
Speaker 1: that Josh has proven he doesn't need a number one receiver.

1769
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 1: In fact, the Bills you can suspect that they don't

1770
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: even want one by the way they've handled them.

1771
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 3: Why would you after leading the league in points with

1772
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 3: six hundred and twelve exactly the playoffs.

1773
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: World, This everybody eats mantra seems to works, particularly when

1774
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:27,559
Speaker 1: you got guys that can buy in defensively. If you

1775
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:30,960
Speaker 1: put even with the injury history, put Joey Bosa and

1776
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: trade out Von Miller, they're the same guy at this

1777
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,720
Speaker 1: point right, So uh, and then you've got Hoyt and

1778
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: Ogan Joebie and you've got an draft tired draft class

1779
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 1: coming up. But I just think this is a better

1780
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: roster right now with Joshua Palmer, Khalil Shakir, Kinkaid Keon

1781
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: with his abilities and a year under his belt, with

1782
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 1: James Cook and knowing what he's been doing. Just I

1783
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 1: just and the all defensive line is deep as it.

1784
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 1: I just can't figure out particularly Milonal coming back fully healthy,

1785
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 1: Dorian Williams another who's going to really spread his wings,

1786
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: I think, and Terrell Bernard. I mean, you've I don't

1787
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 1: know how you got Taylor rap As a year under

1788
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 1: his belt. Hamlin's been back. No question they need some help,

1789
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: some guys in the defensive backfield, but man o man,

1790
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,719
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball is light years ahead

1791
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,679
Speaker 1: of where it was at this time last year. Yeah.

1792
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

1793
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 3: Final comment from the tweet sheet comes from Greg who says, yes, financially,

1794
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:36,280
Speaker 3: we're positioned reasonably with very good contracts for long grown,

1795
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 3: long homegrown talent, a well rounded defensive line with more potential,

1796
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:42,639
Speaker 3: and a man beater a wide receiver two would be ideal,

1797
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 3: probably better than it was last year.

1798
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:46,759
Speaker 2: That's it for us today. We'll see you tomorrow.
