- 0:57Speaker 3: Bills and NFL content again today, and as always, these
- 1:01Speaker 3: are my Bill's thoughts set out loud. It's about so ridiculous.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Lady three was sick? Shown me.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Where's would you want to be?
- 1:21Speaker 3: All right, let's get straight to it. Really excited for
- 1:24Speaker 3: tonight's episode. It's funny because you know the draft is funny,
- 1:29Speaker 3: and you know it could go a certain way that
- 1:31Speaker 3: you don't think it's gonna go. And that's the reason
- 1:33Speaker 3: that I named the episode the way that I did
- 1:35Speaker 3: because I, for one, was taken aback by some of
- 1:38Speaker 3: the picks to start the draft. And then I take
- 1:41Speaker 3: time to kind of digest and shout out to my
- 1:43Speaker 3: Twitter buddies out there in the different Twitter spaces that
- 1:46Speaker 3: helped me out with getting things together, and I and
- 1:49Speaker 3: I I finally came back to you know, okay, I
- 1:52Speaker 3: came back to a reasonable reasonable level joining me tonight
- 1:56Speaker 3: to help us dissect it. As always my co host

- 2:23Speaker 4: The weather still ship up here in Buffalo, Rob we see.
- 2:27Speaker 3: I saw something said it was like the fourth wettest

- 2:31Speaker 3: y'all all need to come on down to Charlotte. Man,
- 2:33Speaker 3: the weather is beautiful down here. But yeah, man, I'm excited. DT.
- 2:38Speaker 3: The draft was interesting and it was funny because I
- 2:41Speaker 3: kind of crashed out. I will raise my hand Nickel
- 2:44Speaker 3: City Crew, Bill's moufe. I kind of crashed out after
- 2:46Speaker 3: the first couple of picks. And what helped me was
- 2:49Speaker 3: going into those Twitter spaces and shout out to my
- 2:50Speaker 3: boy sharm Lee on Twitter and stuff like that and
- 2:53Speaker 3: my boy Jeric, and they kind of helped me like, Okay,
- 2:56Speaker 3: let's bring this thing back down. Take it down a
- 2:58Speaker 3: couple levels, take it down a couple of knocks. We've
- 3:00Speaker 3: got a guest for you tonight, and I'm really happy
- 3:02Speaker 3: that he decided to join us straight out of Wheeling,
- 3:05Speaker 3: West Virginia. You can check him out on Twitter at
- 3:08Speaker 3: Bill's fan for Life WV that stands for West Virginia.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Joining me by my man Tom Ames. Tom, Welcome into
- 3:15Speaker 3: the crew. We were happy to have you tonight. Man.
- 3:16Speaker 3: I know that that Nickel City crew doesn't know you,
- 3:19Speaker 3: but I know you very well now on those Twitter
- 3:20Speaker 3: spaces and DT and I are happy to have you. Man.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Welcome to the show. Welcome to the crew. Man, the
- 3:26Speaker 3: crew Hey, Hey, what's up, Nickel City Crew? The first
- 3:31Speaker 3: time I've watched many of your guys a show. I
- 3:34Speaker 3: really enjoy it. We appreciate it. What can I say?
- 3:38Speaker 3: It was an interesting draft, gentlemen, It was. It was
- 3:42Speaker 3: an interesting draft. And like I said, DT and Tom,
- 3:45Speaker 3: the reason I named the episode the way that I
- 3:47Speaker 3: did was because it really it kind of encapsulates it
- 3:50Speaker 3: was a depth draft. And I made some jokes is
- 3:53Speaker 3: that I didn't get the memo DT. I didn't get
- 3:55Speaker 3: the memo time that it was going to be a
- 3:57Speaker 3: depth draft, and I think that that's kind of one
- 3:59Speaker 3: of the things that led of my disappointment in the
- 4:01Speaker 3: beginning of the draft with those first couple of picks. So,
- 4:03Speaker 3: unless you've been under a rock, and I know that
- 4:05Speaker 3: you have not, Bill's Mafia. The Bills started out, We
- 4:08Speaker 3: talked about it last week. They traded down three times
- 4:10Speaker 3: in the first round. We talked about that last week
- 4:12Speaker 3: before the Sabers game, and then round two they kind
- 4:16Speaker 3: of got things going. Pick thirty five TJ. Parker, outside
- 4:20Speaker 3: linebacker out of Clemson and DT. It was interesting because
- 4:24Speaker 3: when that pick happened, I had my eyes set on
- 4:26Speaker 3: Kate McDonald. I thought it was fit. I thought it
- 4:30Speaker 3: was a need, and I thought that the two kind
- 4:32Speaker 3: of married themselves together because we need some help stop
- 4:34Speaker 3: in the run. I was clearly wrong in respects to
- 4:38Speaker 3: having those expectations. Tom, can you talk to us about TJ.
- 4:41Speaker 3: Parker if you can, because for me, I was more
- 4:44Speaker 3: confused by the fact that I thought that there was
- 4:46Speaker 3: a starter sitting right there for us in respects to
- 4:49Speaker 3: Kate McDonald. But clearly Brandon Bean and that crew did
- 4:53Speaker 3: not see the same type of need in respects of
- 4:55Speaker 3: defensive tackle because they went with TJ. Parker, who's uber talented,
- 4:59Speaker 3: highly recruited, highly thought of a former five star recruit
- 5:02Speaker 3: going out there to Clemson and had a good year
- 5:04Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. But I just I didn't
- 5:06Speaker 3: I didn't match up the need and fit at the time.
- 5:11Speaker 2: This is where I go with you, like where the
- 5:12Speaker 2: bills were needing, Like our needs were.
- 5:15Speaker 3: To stop the rush.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Stop the rush, that was our main need. His second
- 5:19Speaker 2: need was we need to have somebody to sack a quarterback.
- 5:23Speaker 3: We got to get our pass rush better.
- 5:25Speaker 2: And I think with those two needs, I think us
- 5:28Speaker 2: saw Kaden McDonald there, the guys in the Bills Mafia
- 5:30Speaker 2: like herself were all DT. Me me too. I wasna say, hey,
- 5:33Speaker 2: we're gonna take Kaden McDonald. We're it casts pressure up
- 5:35Speaker 2: the middle, We're gonna we're gonna get. We're gonna get
- 5:38Speaker 2: from the bottom tier of like stopping the run. I mean,
- 5:41Speaker 2: I think we're like in the thirties of stopping the run.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Was bad. Last year, it were bad.
- 5:45Speaker 2: We were bad, and we saw the logical pick. And
- 5:52Speaker 2: what I've learned with the Bills is anytime us as
- 5:54Speaker 2: fans think the most logical thing they're going to do,
- 5:57Speaker 2: it doesn't happen.
- 5:59Speaker 3: I thought, are sure in.
- 6:00Speaker 2: The offseason we were going to bring in Leo Shanola's
- 6:03Speaker 2: linebacker in Kansas City because he just fit the new
- 6:06Speaker 2: scheme so well, and being didn't. I don't think being
- 6:09Speaker 2: blinked denied him. But Kate McDonald was right there. And
- 6:12Speaker 2: as I said to you before the show, Robb DT,
- 6:14Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't believe they even interviewed Kate
- 6:16Speaker 2: McDonald at the combine. I don't believe they met with him.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Maybe they felt he was undersized. I love Ohio State picks,
- 6:24Speaker 2: I hate the school, I love their players.
- 6:27Speaker 3: So I'm a Michigan family too. The T J.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Parker pick may not be a like pick, but you
- 6:35Speaker 2: know that's not what maybe a lot of us I'd say,
- 6:37Speaker 2: you know a lot of us wanted there, but we
- 6:39Speaker 2: did need a pass rusher.
- 6:40Speaker 3: We didn't need a bull rusher.
- 6:41Speaker 2: And as you said it, it's been a very it
- 6:44Speaker 2: was a very deaf meaning draft for a lot of teams,
- 6:46Speaker 2: not just us, because there wasn't a lot of blue chip,
- 6:49Speaker 2: elite athletes out on this draft. Would you guys agree, true,
- 6:53Speaker 2: we talked about well or allegedly.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Right that we talked about that last week as well.
- 7:00Speaker 4: It's like I was, like, k not getting down with
- 7:02Speaker 4: all the it's not a first round type of draft, like,
- 7:05Speaker 4: you know, how do we really know that?
- 7:06Speaker 1: Right?
- 7:06Speaker 4: But I like that My issue. I'll preface this with
- 7:11Speaker 4: I like the draft. I didn't like the first pick,
- 7:13Speaker 4: as we're talking about right now. I didn't like that
- 7:15Speaker 4: first pick in the fact of the Bills don't get
- 7:18Speaker 4: the names right, you said, they don't go what we
- 7:20Speaker 4: think they're gonna go, where we want them to go.
- 7:22Speaker 1: They don't go. Kse conception, they don't go, you know,
- 7:25Speaker 1: they don't go.
- 7:25Speaker 4: You know, Kaden McDonald and I think all year it
- 7:30Speaker 4: was just okay, we're going to the three four, so
- 7:32Speaker 4: it's all we need a nose tackle. But like, there's
- 7:34Speaker 4: so much difference, and Jim Leonard is now like kind
- 7:36Speaker 4: of a new transition of this positionless type football and
- 7:40Speaker 4: this defense is going to be all over the place
- 7:42Speaker 4: and look at all different, which we'll get into our
- 7:44Speaker 4: second pick, you know, in a little bit, but I
- 7:45Speaker 4: don't want to get too into that yet. We'll get
- 7:47Speaker 4: into him, but I think that's goes right along with it.
- 7:50Speaker 4: So you got McDonald, like everybody the name pick and
- 7:53Speaker 4: we never picked the name.
- 7:55Speaker 1: But I also think this TJ.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Parker pick is so boogie bash so screams that like
- 8:04Speaker 4: one the Clemson Clemson obviously with Shaq Laws and the
- 8:07Speaker 4: Clemson thing, but like just the like mid gass rusher, athletic,
- 8:14Speaker 4: but like he's not really a speed rusher.
- 8:15Speaker 1: He's more of a power rusher.
- 8:17Speaker 3: So maybe he's he's very much like that, So maybe.
- 8:21Speaker 4: He is going to get in and play a little
- 8:22Speaker 4: more inside now with like without having that nose tackle
- 8:25Speaker 4: we talked about, we have the horse and Dion Walker.
- 8:27Speaker 4: He's not a nose tackle, but like what does this
- 8:30Speaker 4: three four really look like?
- 8:31Speaker 3: Right?
- 8:32Speaker 1: So I think it was just quickly three four you put.
- 8:34Speaker 4: The nose guards, so everyone's boom, Ron McDonald and that's
- 8:36Speaker 4: Ohio state name, and we want him but really correct,
- 8:40Speaker 4: and I agree, and that would be I wanted the name,
- 8:42Speaker 4: you know, I wanted the Vince Wilfork, right. I wanted
- 8:45Speaker 4: the Sam Adams right. So but I can't be like
- 8:50Speaker 4: the t J. Parker pick is just blah and such
- 8:53Speaker 4: beam like and epinezza like, it's just like blah. But
- 8:57Speaker 4: we didn't take the name, and I some day just
- 8:58Speaker 4: want him to take the name and.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Try it out.
- 9:01Speaker 4: But I also understand this defense might not look like
- 9:03Speaker 4: we all think.
- 9:04Speaker 1: The three four is going to look like.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it's interesting because you know, Tom, to me,
- 9:10Speaker 3: I thought that, you know, t J. Parker is kind
- 9:12Speaker 3: of a clone of of Bradley chubbn what they brought
- 9:14Speaker 3: it in free agency. But in addition to that, I thought that,
- 9:17Speaker 3: you know, this is a guy that was so highly
- 9:19Speaker 3: touted that maybe it's a situation where they thought that
- 9:23Speaker 3: the answers were in there. And that's where I gave
- 9:24Speaker 3: it a little shout out to my boy Shirl was
- 9:26Speaker 3: that he was like, listen, they clearly think that they
- 9:29Speaker 3: have the answer within house, and whether that's Finarian, Mathis
- 9:32Speaker 3: or whoever the case may be, they think that they've
- 9:34Speaker 3: got their answer. And I think that that's what should
- 9:36Speaker 3: give bills MOMFIU just a little bit of solace of
- 9:39Speaker 3: the fact that they think that they have their answer
- 9:40Speaker 3: already in house.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I when it comes to TJ. Parker too, my understanding
- 9:45Speaker 2: is he did very well at Clemson, but you know,
- 9:48Speaker 2: from my our sources, rock speak it after speaking to Shirt,
- 9:51Speaker 2: speaking to other people that watched Clemson.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Clemson had a lot of.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Inner coaching problems. I guess the coach chaff and a
- 9:59Speaker 2: player we're just not There was no it wasn't a
- 10:03Speaker 2: good locker room. The you know, the coaches were going
- 10:05Speaker 2: at it with players and everything, and they're going at
- 10:07Speaker 2: it and they just lost that locker room.
- 10:09Speaker 3: So that could affect a lot of play. You know, PJ.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Parker's play.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I'm in on him. You know what. Let let's give
- 10:15Speaker 2: the kid a shot. I like him. He's a bull rusher.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I've seen his I've seen his highlights. He looks great.
- 10:21Speaker 2: But as you said, wrong, and he's gonna be a
- 10:24Speaker 2: rotational player for right now, is he gonna start? Hey,
- 10:28Speaker 2: who knows, Like maybe we don't know what the future holds,
- 10:31Speaker 2: but I'm tony right now as right now he's a
- 10:33Speaker 2: deaf player. I'm excited about him. You know what's not
- 10:37Speaker 2: let's not let's not judge the suit before the chefs
- 10:40Speaker 2: even served it, you know what I mean.
- 10:42Speaker 4: Like that, Yeah, yeah, And we don't need him to start,
- 10:46Speaker 4: right We don't need him to start, like so that's fine.
- 10:49Speaker 4: I mean, especially if there's high end Javon Solomon as
- 10:52Speaker 4: they've been kind of talking like they are like we
- 10:54Speaker 4: don't you know, he's not starting, but you know what
- 10:56Speaker 4: I mean, like in the rotation having guys, we're so
- 10:59Speaker 4: in Chubb Ibby see on the ends, and we'll see
- 11:01Speaker 4: whatever happens through that middle of the line.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And you know, we got higher draft picks. We still
- 11:06Speaker 1: have TJ.
- 11:06Speaker 4: Sanders, who we didn't see much of last year as
- 11:08Speaker 4: a high draft pick to go in and play that line.
- 11:10Speaker 4: We know Deane Walker can roll at Oliver should be
- 11:13Speaker 4: fresh coming off you know a lot of miss games
- 11:15Speaker 4: at the end of it, Like, there is guys in there, right,
- 11:17Speaker 4: so we didn't need him to start and yeah, I
- 11:20Speaker 4: mean looking on just now, like one of my guys,
- 11:24Speaker 4: he really really respect him, really respects Ball went to
- 11:26Speaker 4: Clemson and I didn't say anything. And he's not a
- 11:29Speaker 4: Bills fan or anything like that, but like typical Southern
- 11:33Speaker 4: like loves Ball through and through and texted me like
- 11:36Speaker 4: five minutes after the pick and just said certified Dog
- 11:40Speaker 4: and like obviously that's his team and he's a Homer,
- 11:43Speaker 4: but like there's guys on the Bills. I wouldn't be
- 11:45Speaker 4: texting certified Dog to my other fans.
- 11:47Speaker 3: Off right Twitter. I heard that this dude was like
- 11:50Speaker 3: a was like a Miles Garrett, like you know, like archetype.
- 11:53Speaker 3: He's going to be Miles Garrett that he.
- 11:55Speaker 4: Didn't have the production, but like his kind of walks
- 11:58Speaker 4: around the room, is the natural leader like Dabbo was
- 12:00Speaker 4: all over that like on those interviews. So like love
- 12:03Speaker 4: that the character. I mean even mcdermot's gone. That doesn't
- 12:06Speaker 4: mean we're just you know, you bring it in like
- 12:08Speaker 4: nod Anti character guys, but it sounds like this dude
- 12:11Speaker 4: is a leader and strong. It just it wasn't the
- 12:14Speaker 4: name pick and that's why it lost some luster for me.
- 12:16Speaker 3: And another thing is guys.
- 12:18Speaker 2: We could have taken him at twenty six and no
- 12:20Speaker 2: one would have batted an I San TJ. Parker went
- 12:22Speaker 2: at twenty six, but we moved back three times. We
- 12:25Speaker 2: got him in a second round. So now Bean doesn't
- 12:27Speaker 2: have to pay him first round money. Yeah, that's always
- 12:30Speaker 2: playing into this.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. That's absolutely true. Now with the second pick,
- 12:35Speaker 3: I think that this is one that definitely raised even
- 12:38Speaker 3: more eyebrows. And for me, it took me a little
- 12:40Speaker 3: bit of time. Again, I already admitted first two picks
- 12:43Speaker 3: took me some time to kind of digest. Now it's interesting.
- 12:47Speaker 3: It's pick sixty two. Davison Igbinosen they said, he said,
- 12:51Speaker 3: call him IGB. And I checked out some of the stuff.
- 12:53Speaker 3: He's big into fashion and stuff like that. This boy
- 12:56Speaker 3: is a press man corner. He is a dog your face.
- 13:00Speaker 3: He is not He is not Max mad Max. He
- 13:03Speaker 3: is not Benford. And when it comes to the fact
- 13:06Speaker 3: of a zone defensive type of cornerback, this dude is
- 13:08Speaker 3: all up in you, right at the line, ready to
- 13:11Speaker 3: go toe to toe. It was interesting because DT it
- 13:14Speaker 3: took me some time to digest it. But the more
- 13:16Speaker 3: that I did digest it, and I was on those
- 13:18Speaker 3: Twitter spaces and listening to my guys talk about it.
- 13:22Speaker 3: It was funny because they brought up something that I
- 13:24Speaker 3: thought of and then I was you know that I
- 13:26Speaker 3: didn't give much creans to that Denver game was a debacle.
- 13:29Speaker 3: And when I say that, I mean that the people
- 13:32Speaker 3: that we were putting out there was kind of reminiscent
- 13:34Speaker 3: in when you and I were sitting in the stands
- 13:36Speaker 3: at the raff and we were watching you know, fucking
- 13:38Speaker 3: Balen Spector and AJ Klein, you know, out there on
- 13:41Speaker 3: the field against Casey, and we're like, what the you know,
- 13:43Speaker 3: like all these guys coming off the couch, what is
- 13:45Speaker 3: going on? We had Dean Marlow in the back defensive backfield.
- 13:48Speaker 3: We had you know, cam Lewis playing, Yeah, cam Lewis
- 13:53Speaker 3: playing like real yeah, Donald Savage, Yeah, Savage was playing
- 13:56Speaker 3: like they were playing big time minutes in a big,
- 13:59Speaker 3: high leverage postseason game DT. I think that the more
- 14:03Speaker 3: I thought about it, Brandon Bean did not want to
- 14:05Speaker 3: get caught with his pants down again. He said that
- 14:07Speaker 3: this was the number one need that he saw for
- 14:10Speaker 3: his team coming into the draft. Who am I to
- 14:12Speaker 3: tell Brandon Bean that he's wrong? In that respect. They
- 14:15Speaker 3: want to make sure that if injuries crap up again
- 14:17Speaker 3: that they've got different options, they've got better options. I
- 14:21Speaker 3: really have a tough time fighting with it again after
- 14:23Speaker 3: the initial shock war off because I didn't think the
- 14:26Speaker 3: quarterback was a need. It made sense, DT, It does
- 14:30Speaker 3: make sense because if if Leonard is gonna run a
- 14:33Speaker 3: more aggressive type of defense, a more man to man defense,
- 14:36Speaker 3: less Stone like Sean McDermott was Ben don't break, Ben
- 14:40Speaker 3: don't break. And it worked for its time and what
- 14:42Speaker 3: the case may be. But when it came to those
- 14:44Speaker 3: crucial postseason situations, DT, we were always the ones looking stupid.
- 14:48Speaker 3: In the end, I can't say bring change, and then
- 14:52Speaker 3: when change comes, say well why are you changing? I
- 14:55Speaker 3: can't speak out of both sides in my mouth.
- 14:57Speaker 4: You can never have enough corners as a saying Robin
- 15:00Speaker 4: you look, you look. I mean that last year what
- 15:02Speaker 4: we had to do, and you know, really last year
- 15:05Speaker 4: with Trey White was such a roller coaster. Right in
- 15:07Speaker 4: the beginning of the year, it was like, oh, he
- 15:09Speaker 4: thinks we got to like we literally can't have him
- 15:11Speaker 4: on the field, and then it was like, okay, he's
- 15:12Speaker 4: kind of playing good.
- 15:13Speaker 1: At the end of the year. Okay, maybe he's not. Okay,
- 15:15Speaker 1: maybe he is. It's like, do we want to ride.
- 15:17Speaker 4: That roller coaster, you know, on that third corner slot
- 15:20Speaker 4: or get somebody in there a little more established and
- 15:22Speaker 4: that we're coming in is the second round pick that
- 15:23Speaker 4: we don't have to pay for a long time. And
- 15:26Speaker 4: good defenses? Why are they good defenses because of matchups?
- 15:29Speaker 4: Now you got the two. You know, you got the
- 15:31Speaker 4: small speed guy in here, so you got the the
- 15:34Speaker 4: possession corner in Benford. Now you got the big bruiser
- 15:38Speaker 4: coming into to get up on those bigger receivers if
- 15:40Speaker 4: you need to. He's got the speed too. The Ohio
- 15:42Speaker 4: State guy, the name as we talked about, maybe we
- 15:45Speaker 4: missed at McDonald, but we got first team All Big Ten,
- 15:48Speaker 4: first Team All Big Ten. He's going up against Jeremiah Smith,
- 15:51Speaker 4: Carnal Tate every day in practice. Carnel Tate goes four.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Jeremiah Smith's going one probably next year unless ours, Mandy.
- 15:57Speaker 4: You know, like he's going against two top five picks
- 15:59Speaker 4: every day, against the top dogs in the in the
- 16:02Speaker 4: in the Big Ten now and he's and he it
- 16:04Speaker 4: doesn't look like he's shy about it. He's got some
- 16:06Speaker 4: swag about him. He's gonna get in your face. He
- 16:08Speaker 4: likes hitting you and he's big enough to hit. So
- 16:11Speaker 4: I like it. And uh, you know that name, that swagger,
- 16:13Speaker 4: you can never have enough. And I think the matchup piece.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Now we got the big guy. Like that's why I
- 16:18Speaker 4: wanted a big receiver. We'll get into that later, but
- 16:21Speaker 4: I wanted a big receiver because we got kind of
- 16:22Speaker 4: the small, you know, gadget guys. Okay, give me the
- 16:24Speaker 4: big Mike Evans type. And you know we didn't get him,
- 16:27Speaker 4: but now you got that on the defensive side of
- 16:29Speaker 4: the ball, and I think that matches up. You know,
- 16:31Speaker 4: it's a lot less likely to get burned with a
- 16:33Speaker 4: big dude when you got that dog behind you too.
- 16:35Speaker 4: So I like to pick deep picked and uh, big
- 16:38Speaker 4: guy with a big name.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Tom. I liked IGB. When I watched his tape, I
- 16:43Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, this dude is a dog,
- 16:45Speaker 3: like he is a dog on the bone. I I
- 16:48Speaker 3: I like it. If again, like I told DT Tom,
- 16:51Speaker 3: if if, if I'm asking for change and then I
- 16:53Speaker 3: get changed, I can't say why the hell I get changing.
- 16:56Speaker 3: This site seems like Jim Lennon's gonna run a more aggressive,
- 16:59Speaker 3: depressive he's going to do take some more chances. We
- 17:02Speaker 3: might give him some bigger plays every now and then,
- 17:04Speaker 3: but they're going to be opportunistic. They're going to try
- 17:07Speaker 3: to take advantage of it. It seems like that's the
- 17:08Speaker 3: way we're leaning.
- 17:09Speaker 2: I don't want to say that Bean's hand was forced
- 17:12Speaker 2: with this pick, but they said when it got down
- 17:15Speaker 2: to that pick, the drop off in talent at defensive
- 17:19Speaker 2: back behind him noticing was huge. Okay, So and being
- 17:24Speaker 2: Bean had to make a decision there, I'm okay with
- 17:28Speaker 2: it because you said the word. You guys both said
- 17:30Speaker 2: the word. We need to be more. Leonard is going
- 17:32Speaker 2: to be aggressive. This this Ben don't breaks up. It's
- 17:35Speaker 2: just not working, man. We have to be more aggressive
- 17:38Speaker 2: the quarterback, like with DTC. We need somebody that's gonna
- 17:41Speaker 2: hands on with a big wide receiver like a J.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Brown and letting know that he's come.
- 17:45Speaker 1: He's come to play twice a year now.
- 17:49Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
- 17:50Speaker 1: You have to do first.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm speaking to Ohio State fans. They said, the guys,
- 17:55Speaker 2: the guy is physical, he likes to play hard against
- 17:58Speaker 2: his wide receivers. Yes, he does. Straw flags, But like
- 18:01Speaker 2: you said, d T Big ten first team, I mean,
- 18:05Speaker 2: what else do you want?
- 18:06Speaker 4: I mean, with the best, the best of the best
- 18:09Speaker 4: right there, he's the best of the best. And yeah,
- 18:12Speaker 4: I mean I like the flag things. He went from
- 18:14Speaker 4: fourteen flags to three. He had three flags last year.
- 18:19Speaker 4: He had three flags last year for the.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I guess he had some He had
- 18:24Speaker 3: some handsy problems the year before and that go down
- 18:27Speaker 3: to three. Being said that that, he said that he
- 18:29Speaker 3: appreciated that he worked, but.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Then people gave the kyer Elam the kyer Elam ship.
- 18:33Speaker 4: You know, he's wearing boxing gloves and practice and everyone's like,
- 18:36Speaker 4: like they're like Tad Brown's tweeting that, like it's like,
- 18:39Speaker 4: you know, pumping up the and they're like, dude, we don't.
- 18:41Speaker 3: Want to hear that.
- 18:42Speaker 4: Our worst corner, probably the worst corner in history that
- 18:45Speaker 4: we've ever had on our team.
- 18:46Speaker 1: He's doing the same stuff as that guy. But I'm
- 18:49Speaker 1: not looking too far out.
- 18:50Speaker 2: I like what DT said to like the like all
- 18:53Speaker 2: defensive coaches said, you can't have enough defensive backs.
- 18:55Speaker 3: You just can't.
- 18:57Speaker 2: It's just it's a position of need and we saw.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Literally killed us.
- 19:01Speaker 4: It's probably taking Super Bowl rings off our fingers.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Seriously, Like, yeah, last last year, for sure. I don't
- 19:09Speaker 3: know about the past, you know, because you.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Can the one the game. You know the game, Rob,
- 19:13Speaker 1: we went to the game.
- 19:14Speaker 4: We went to that Like that wasn't defensive bats as much.
- 19:17Speaker 3: But I know what you mean. You know then that's
- 19:19Speaker 3: what That's kind of my point. You can't forecast injuries,
- 19:22Speaker 3: but you can prepare for them. I think the brain
- 19:24Speaker 3: to Bean, yes again, didn't want to get you didn't
- 19:26Speaker 3: want to get caught with his pants down. Now as
- 19:28Speaker 3: we transition. You know, it's funny because round four was interesting.
- 19:32Speaker 3: We're coming up on my favorite pick, and it's funny, DT.
- 19:34Speaker 3: You kind of tipped your hands. So I can't wait
- 19:36Speaker 3: to have a little debate with you because I can't
- 19:38Speaker 3: stand when we always agree. So it sounds like we're
- 19:40Speaker 3: not going to agree on this one and I can't
- 19:42Speaker 3: wait to get to that. But first up, round four,
- 19:44Speaker 3: pick one or two, Jude Bowery outfitsive tackle out of
- 19:48Speaker 3: Boston College. It's interesting, pick DT another one again. That's
- 19:52Speaker 3: why I named the episode of the way that I
- 19:53Speaker 3: did depth Draft. I wasn't thinking about tackle. I was
- 19:57Speaker 3: ready to riot if they took a guard in the
- 19:59Speaker 3: first round or some the crazy that I was hearing
- 20:01Speaker 3: on the Twitter spaces and stuff like that pre draft DT.
- 20:05Speaker 3: They say that this guy's got some depth, he's got
- 20:08Speaker 3: a position flexibility where he can slide down at to
- 20:10Speaker 3: the guard position if need be. And listen, Alec Anderson
- 20:14Speaker 3: has never done the job before. He's never been a starter,
- 20:17Speaker 3: So you just want to have all hands on deck.
- 20:19Speaker 3: Youve got Alec Anderson, You've got now, You've got Jude Bower,
- 20:23Speaker 3: You've got other guys as well. You brought in a
- 20:24Speaker 3: couple of free agents as well. They could possibly play
- 20:26Speaker 3: guard if you need them to. So in Austin Corbett.
- 20:29Speaker 3: So listen, I'm in this situation where it's okay, like
- 20:33Speaker 3: if this is the direction. By that point in time
- 20:35Speaker 3: when they took Jude Browery, I knew that this was
- 20:37Speaker 3: a depth draft, and that's why I came up with
- 20:39Speaker 3: the concept where I was like, Okay, this is a
- 20:40Speaker 3: depth draft. I need to adjust, you know, my thinking. DT.
- 20:44Speaker 3: They say he's nasty, they say he's ready to play.
- 20:46Speaker 3: I saw his pre draft stuff where he was talking
- 20:48Speaker 3: about how excited he was after he was drafted, listen,
- 20:52Speaker 3: if it's a depth draft and you want to make
- 20:54Speaker 3: sure that you're you're you're stocked up in the cupboards. Again,
- 20:57Speaker 3: I have I have a hard time because of the
- 20:59Speaker 3: fact that they were a lot of mow chip guys
- 21:00Speaker 3: this year.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we can talk about not having guys on
- 21:03Speaker 4: defense and getting hurt and defensive depth, YadA, YadA, yaddy.
- 21:07Speaker 4: But what's the most important thing. It's keeping the merchandise upright.
- 21:10Speaker 4: And if you that's that's truly the most important thing.
- 21:13Speaker 4: Like at the end of the day, yes, we got
- 21:15Speaker 4: to build both sides of the ball, but if Josh
- 21:18Speaker 4: Allen goes down, this is nothing. So you need to
- 21:20Speaker 4: keep seventeen upright at all times. And keeping an upright
- 21:23Speaker 4: is putting a good line in front of him. And
- 21:25Speaker 4: you know, there might have been some turbulence with Dawkins
- 21:27Speaker 4: at the end of the year. He's getting a little older.
- 21:29Speaker 4: This guy kind of reminds me of a Dawkins that
- 21:31Speaker 4: type of style. He's not the biggest dude, but he
- 21:33Speaker 4: can you know, he can move around kind of nice.
- 21:35Speaker 4: So he come in compete for a starting you know,
- 21:37Speaker 4: guard job right away and get that competition. Rolling to
- 21:41Speaker 4: keep seventeen upright, as again, a younger guy, you don't
- 21:44Speaker 4: have to pay later on I you got it that
- 21:47Speaker 4: late at first round. Okay, maybe I'll be critical, you know,
- 21:50Speaker 4: even whatever, fourth round.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I'm fine with protecting the merchandise.
- 21:56Speaker 3: Tom, what'd you think, jud Bowery? I again, if it's
- 21:59Speaker 3: a depth draft, and I've got a hard time with
- 22:02Speaker 3: making sure that all your holes are short up. I
- 22:04Speaker 3: heard a lot about that Houston game, and you know, well,
- 22:06Speaker 3: Dion goes down and Spencer goes down, and you know,
- 22:09Speaker 3: and and Houston's a little bit different because their defense
- 22:11Speaker 3: is so damn ferocious. But I don't. I don't have
- 22:14Speaker 3: any problem with death, man. I don't. And if this
- 22:16Speaker 3: guy can play guard and provide some position flexibility, excuse me,
- 22:20Speaker 3: then hey, I gotta be all for it.
- 22:23Speaker 2: I believe that when we lost David Edwards the free
- 22:27Speaker 2: agency and Ryan Vandermark left as well, I didn't realize
- 22:33Speaker 2: how bad of the need we were for another tackle. Okay,
- 22:36Speaker 2: and until that draft pick, honestly, I didn't know. I
- 22:38Speaker 2: thought our death was Okay, obviously I was wrong. I
- 22:42Speaker 2: didn't know much. I didn't much scouting on this guy, right,
- 22:45Speaker 2: I just I've just heard what you guys have said
- 22:48Speaker 2: on the show tonight, what I've heard in talk rooms
- 22:50Speaker 2: about him.
- 22:51Speaker 3: I heard it.
- 22:51Speaker 2: He's an exceptional athlete. He can he can play, he
- 22:54Speaker 2: can play tackle, and he can play guard. I thought
- 22:57Speaker 2: that after all the off shielded offielditions that being had
- 23:00Speaker 2: already brought in, I thought we were okayd with deaf
- 23:03Speaker 2: because we all us three know who's going to start, right,
- 23:06Speaker 2: I all know who's going to start offensive line wise,
- 23:08Speaker 2: Alec Anderson has taken out other guard spot. It seems yes,
- 23:12Speaker 2: and it just seems like it's his job to lose
- 23:14Speaker 2: in my.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Right right and the other four are The other four
- 23:17Speaker 3: are staples.
- 23:18Speaker 2: My question mark was the whole death Now now that
- 23:21Speaker 2: they brought him, actually, now that I think about it,
- 23:23Speaker 2: I feel a lot more safe with this gentleman. You
- 23:25Speaker 2: know he's he uh From the research I did, I mean,
- 23:29Speaker 2: who doesn't want another swing tackle one is in.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Somebody who's versatile. I'm pretty happy with the pick.
- 23:36Speaker 2: I was very surprised at where it was picked, but
- 23:39Speaker 2: after doing a little bit more research, I'm fine with it.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man, I am too. Now, Uh, listen, my
- 23:47Speaker 3: favorite pick. Before we get to my favorite pick. Tonight's
- 23:49Speaker 3: episode is presented by Buffalo fan Base, the official BILS
- 23:52Speaker 3: Mafia podcast network. Thatt DT and I simulcast on again.

- 24:19Speaker 3: over there at IV six Network. Listen. They pump out
- 24:21Speaker 3: great content as well. They've got all your hockey coverage.
- 24:24Speaker 3: I know that this is hockey time. As long as

- 24:28Speaker 3: more weeks of hockey. So head on over to IV
- 24:29Speaker 3: six network as well, because they've got you covered. Ah DT,
- 24:34Speaker 3: you said something and you tipped your hand, and I
- 24:36Speaker 3: love we argue because we normally don't argue. My favorite
- 24:40Speaker 3: pick of the draft, fourth round one twenty five overall,
- 24:44Speaker 3: Skylar Bell out of Yukon a certified dog, a certified
- 24:49Speaker 3: go getter, catches everything. I love this pick. Now when
- 24:54Speaker 3: it comes to wide receiver, you know I'm on the
- 24:56Speaker 3: wide receiver train. DT. You already know that about me
- 24:59Speaker 3: and time you've been finding that out on those Twitter spaces.
- 25:02Speaker 3: I'm always about offense. I've always about putting up as
- 25:04Speaker 3: many points as we can, surround Josh with as many
- 25:07Speaker 3: weapons as we can. And I wasn't getting discouraged by
- 25:10Speaker 3: it because I know the Casey conception on. You know,
- 25:12Speaker 3: Cleveland took takes them and stuff like that. They jump
- 25:15Speaker 3: us and then denizel Boston. Then you heard the whole
- 25:17Speaker 3: rumblings about how the Jets found out that we were
- 25:20Speaker 3: going to look for Omar Cooper, so they jump ahead
- 25:22Speaker 3: of us to take him. Whatever. Whatever. Listen, this kid
- 25:26Speaker 3: goes and gets the ball. He plays bigger than he is,
- 25:29Speaker 3: about six foot. He's like Stephan Digson's hype. But boy, DT,
- 25:32Speaker 3: when you talk about production, I understand that he played
- 25:35Speaker 3: at Yukon. I know that it's not the highest level man.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Catching the football is still an art. It's still something
- 25:40Speaker 3: that you've got to go out there and do. DT.
- 25:43Speaker 3: He caught everything. I know you talking about you want
- 25:45Speaker 3: another key on Coleman. I did not want another Keon Coleman.
- 25:48Speaker 3: I don't know you tell me, Man, were you disappointed
- 25:50Speaker 3: with this pic? This is my favorite pick of the draft,
- 25:53Speaker 3: my favorite pick man. I can't wait to see this
- 25:55Speaker 3: boy work. And in addition to the fact that he
- 25:58Speaker 3: can go inside and outside, so he's not I heard
- 26:00Speaker 3: a lot of Bills Mafia saying, well, he's just a
- 26:02Speaker 3: Khalil clone. He is not a Kali clone. I haven't
- 26:05Speaker 3: seen hearing that Khalil can play outside. I haven't pay
- 26:09Speaker 3: multiple offensive coordinators. This dude can play outside and inside.
- 26:13Speaker 3: I love it. He's my favorite pick of the draft.
- 26:15Speaker 4: All right, I'll be I'll be Devil's advocate here a
- 26:17Speaker 4: little bit tonight, you know, because if we can't get
- 26:21Speaker 4: critical about the draft, you know what what can we?
- 26:23Speaker 3: Right?
- 26:24Speaker 4: So, yes, what I talked about the matchup thing on
- 26:29Speaker 4: defense and now we got the big guy. We don't
- 26:31Speaker 4: have that on offense. We have a key On Coleman.
- 26:33Speaker 4: That isn't that to be honest to me, like it's
- 26:36Speaker 4: it's not there. It would have been Josh. Josh finds
- 26:39Speaker 4: greatness in you if you're if you got it Josh
- 26:41Speaker 4: will find it in you. It's not hard to be
- 26:43Speaker 4: received for Josh Allen, that's not but you know what
- 26:46Speaker 4: I mean. Josh Allen makes pop will look better. And
- 26:48Speaker 4: if you have greatness, he'll find it in you. And
- 26:51Speaker 4: it doesn't necessarily have to be a good guy. That's
- 26:53Speaker 4: why I'm excited for DJ Moore this year because I
- 26:55Speaker 4: think he's gonna have a nice resurgence. But this guy,
- 26:59Speaker 4: it he was on the smaller side. You're watching the
- 27:02Speaker 4: highlights and it's it's shaking, and there's four kids in
- 27:05Speaker 4: the in the stands, and and he's running by.
- 27:10Speaker 1: You know, he's running by like he tore up you be,
- 27:14Speaker 1: he tore up the U B Bulls.
- 27:15Speaker 4: Rob, he's got he just running around bulls DB's all day.
- 27:22Speaker 4: There's there's fourteen people up in the stadium and he's
- 27:25Speaker 4: But but I'm always gonna be I'm always gonna be
- 27:31Speaker 4: an optimist for this team and always gonna be an
- 27:34Speaker 4: optimist when it comes to the offensive side the ball.
- 27:35Speaker 1: I agree, weapons, weapons, weapons, they'll never hurt.
- 27:38Speaker 4: But Rob, uh, Yeah, the the highlights immediately he's outside,
- 27:43Speaker 4: he's really inside. In any of the highlights, he's in
- 27:46Speaker 4: the slot but he's catching deep drags in the slot
- 27:49Speaker 4: and or he's catching fade balls with three guys on
- 27:51Speaker 4: him in the corner of the end ZONE'M like, looking nice.
- 27:54Speaker 4: So I think he's got some swagger too. We go
- 27:56Speaker 4: back to the swagger with the I G B. I
- 27:58Speaker 4: think this guy's swagged out too. He's in before games,
- 28:01Speaker 4: he's getting hype and I mean, what what better to
- 28:03Speaker 4: hype you up than Bill's Mafia. So it's uh positive,
- 28:08Speaker 4: real positive output of it. Like not a lot of
- 28:10Speaker 4: people are like he's a dud. Just it's if I
- 28:13Speaker 4: want to play Devil's advocate, it's it wasn't the big
- 28:16Speaker 4: guy might have envisioned and there's.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Four people in the stands when he's killing it.
- 28:22Speaker 3: But please think his fault that he was bawling out
- 28:26Speaker 3: at Yukon and nobody cares a basketball school. Cool on man, Tom.
- 28:31Speaker 2: D Let let's go ahead and dub it what it is.
- 28:34Speaker 2: He is the pick that saved the twenty twenty six draft.
- 28:39Speaker 3: Played it out.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Yet everybody I talked and said, we got Skylar Bell.
- 28:44Speaker 3: He's ready to play.
- 28:47Speaker 2: My favorite thing about Skylar Bell was his measurables, his height,
- 28:51Speaker 2: his weight, his speed, reminds me of a former Buffalo
- 28:55Speaker 2: bill receiver who's still my second favorite Buffalo. Teld me
- 28:59Speaker 2: by the name stuff On Diggs, and I like it.
- 29:03Speaker 2: I've seen his high late he is. I don't want
- 29:06Speaker 2: him to be a screen merchant. He will not be
- 29:09Speaker 2: the offense. I really hope we're going to evolve this.
- 29:11Speaker 2: I think he can play at all three levels of
- 29:13Speaker 2: the field. He can play short, he can play medium,
- 29:16Speaker 2: and he can be a deep threat as well. I
- 29:18Speaker 2: truly believe that. I think Brady brought him in and
- 29:20Speaker 2: we're gonna go downfield with him more. I think the
- 29:24Speaker 2: kid is going to be very versatile. I like everything
- 29:26Speaker 2: about him, Rob, I really do. Look, look if we're
- 29:30Speaker 2: gonna play that game Yukon. He played at Yukon. Diggs
- 29:33Speaker 2: played at Maryland.
- 29:34Speaker 1: I mean Giggs was a fifth rounder.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Davis was a fifth rounder. So I'm excited
- 29:41Speaker 2: he's a pick to save the draft forth.
- 29:44Speaker 1: I'm with it.
- 29:45Speaker 5: I'm I'm saying like, I'm just not glazed, and I'm
- 29:51Speaker 5: like you, I mean, I don't know what I feel like.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Hey, come it, let's roll the ball out. Josh is
- 30:00Speaker 1: gonna make you great.
- 30:01Speaker 2: If you're great and then we'll rock from there. Comment
- 30:06Speaker 2: on something else too, please please, we tried, tried, Okay,
- 30:09Speaker 2: I believe that we did try to trade up to
- 30:11Speaker 2: get Casey conception on I do. I do believe that.
- 30:14Speaker 2: I do not believe that the whatever jet that the
- 30:19Speaker 2: Jets jumped us to get O market, I do not believe.
- 30:22Speaker 3: I think it's absolute BS.
- 30:24Speaker 2: I think if we wanted Omar Cooper, I think Bean
- 30:26Speaker 2: would have gotten me. I think being I think Bean
- 30:28Speaker 2: knew what he was, what he wanted to do. I
- 30:30Speaker 2: have no doubts that the Bills could have taken Omar
- 30:33Speaker 2: Cooper if they wanted. And until Brandon Bean comes out
- 30:36Speaker 2: and says publicly I wanted Omar Cooper, I can't believe
- 30:39Speaker 2: the Jets took him before me. I didn't think that
- 30:41Speaker 2: was gonna happen. I don't believe a word of that far.
- 30:44Speaker 3: And we talked about it last week time. I know
- 30:46Speaker 3: you weren't here, but if you listen, then I mean
- 30:49Speaker 3: he had a plan. And and that's why d T
- 30:51Speaker 3: and I were very comfortable going in because we do
- 30:53Speaker 3: we do these on Friday, so it was right before
- 30:55Speaker 3: round two started. We were comfortable with it because we
- 30:58Speaker 3: want we wanted more picks. Wenderstood that Bean was not
- 31:01Speaker 3: going to take a pick at twenty six and then
- 31:03Speaker 3: sit to ninety one, like you know how many picks
- 31:05Speaker 3: that is in between. There's no way that he was
- 31:06Speaker 3: going to feel comfortable. So I was okay with the
- 31:09Speaker 3: execution of how he traded back three times chess. He did,
- 31:14Speaker 3: he did, and it was important for him to grab
- 31:16Speaker 3: those picks because he obviously thought that he had holes
- 31:18Speaker 3: that he had to fill in respects to the depth.
- 31:20Speaker 3: So I was cool with it.
- 31:21Speaker 4: And I know you that's why exactly why I agree
- 31:23Speaker 4: the Jets stuff is BS, because he wouldn't.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Have let that.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Yeah, he wouldn't let that happen.
- 31:28Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So yeah, it was a quality bo He
- 31:32Speaker 4: got the bag you know for it.
- 31:33Speaker 1: He definitely dealt.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he did. And Houston overpaid for sure to
- 31:37Speaker 3: go up to get a guard. So like we took
- 31:39Speaker 3: advantage of them. So it was all good there. And
- 31:41Speaker 3: like I said, he's my favorite pick of the draft.
- 31:43Speaker 3: Time's funny, but he did save the draft for me
- 31:45Speaker 3: for sure. But you know, like, hey, I just think
- 31:48Speaker 3: that I don't I don't have to necessarily put the
- 31:50Speaker 3: steph on Diggs's weight on him. But his tape, his
- 31:53Speaker 3: tape does look similar in respects to how he attacks
- 31:55Speaker 3: the ball, and he's ferocious after the catch. I like
- 31:58Speaker 3: the fact that he he ten ues the place. It's
- 32:00Speaker 3: not like he's just catching the ball and falling down.
- 32:02Speaker 3: So I'm gonna be interested to see him. Yeah, man,
- 32:05Speaker 3: I'm interested to see him. And like DT said, seventeen
- 32:08Speaker 3: will find if you could play seventeen. All I mean,
- 32:11Speaker 3: Cole Beasley and John Brown, all those guys had career
- 32:14Speaker 3: years when they were with seventeen. So I'm gonna trust
- 32:17Speaker 3: in that for sure.
- 32:17Speaker 2: And he's gonna elevate. He's gonna elevate everybody's game.
- 32:20Speaker 3: That's just yeah that way, Yeah, man, I like it. Now.
- 32:23Speaker 3: We were back to back in round four one twenty
- 32:26Speaker 3: five with Skyler Bell and then one twenty six was
- 32:28Speaker 3: Caleb Elam Orr Elam's or listen lineback around at TCU.
- 32:31Speaker 3: They say that this boy is fast, DT that he's
- 32:34Speaker 3: like a little heat sick and missile. Kind of reminds
- 32:36Speaker 3: me of what I heard on the post draft scouting
- 32:39Speaker 3: reports about Dorian Wims. To be honest, sometimes Dorian was
- 32:42Speaker 3: a missile, but he'd be out of place, and they
- 32:44Speaker 3: say the same thing about Elam's or that you know,
- 32:46Speaker 3: he's sometimes out of place, but he does everything one
- 32:49Speaker 3: hundred percent. And I like that because what you can
- 32:51Speaker 3: do as a coach, and you know about this, is
- 32:53Speaker 3: that you can co I can coach out scheme stuff.
- 32:56Speaker 3: I can't coach your effort. I can't coach your your
- 32:59Speaker 3: speed and some of the attributes that you have. If
- 33:01Speaker 3: you're in the wrong gap, I can coach you on that,
- 33:03Speaker 3: But but going one hundred miles an hour, I can't
- 33:05Speaker 3: coach you on that. I can't bring that fire to you.
- 33:07Speaker 3: I like the fact that the kids got fire. He's
- 33:09Speaker 3: a little light in the ass, so you know, maybe
- 33:11Speaker 3: put on some pounds of this, you know, gum to buffalo,
- 33:13Speaker 3: eat some wings, eat some beef on wes, put on
- 33:15Speaker 3: some pounds to help you out. But I like it.
- 33:18Speaker 3: He's fast man four four seven speed is fast four
- 33:20Speaker 3: linebacker and you know he was, you know, all Big
- 33:23Speaker 3: twelve last year. So the kid makes tackles. He's not
- 33:25Speaker 3: always in the right spot, but he plays one hundred
- 33:27Speaker 3: miles an hour. I do like that.
- 33:29Speaker 4: Hey, I'll put a hell of a nutrition playing together
- 33:31Speaker 4: to both you out, baby, you are walking a training camp,
- 33:39Speaker 4: a little little swall.
- 33:40Speaker 1: You just hang out, hanging out.
- 33:42Speaker 3: With DT for come to the Bachelor, Pat, I love it.
- 33:46Speaker 1: On all the spots now.
- 33:48Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, I say last year, last year a
- 33:54Speaker 4: linebacker unacceptable. Last year linebacker top to bottom, I'd say
- 33:59Speaker 4: on aftible wasn't good, wasn't great, wasn't okay, wasn't.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Could have been better. I thought it was unacceptable.
- 34:07Speaker 4: Our best players couldn't get on the field. Our best
- 34:09Speaker 4: linebacker was a fifty year old Shack Thompson.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Like I mean, we no offense, no offense got hurt too,
- 34:20Speaker 3: and that didn't help it.
- 34:21Speaker 4: But availability and being on the field. And Dorian Williams
- 34:23Speaker 4: had a good first year and then he comes back
- 34:25Speaker 4: and he's kind of silent last year, and like so
- 34:27Speaker 4: we need some competition, We need some depth there. We
- 34:29Speaker 4: need somebody to come in and this is a fight
- 34:31Speaker 4: for a starting spot. Matt Mallonald Block, I'm not gonna
- 34:34Speaker 4: be back, obviously. We need somebody to, you know, fight
- 34:36Speaker 4: for a starting spot. And uh if if it comes here,
- 34:39Speaker 4: and he kind of fits the mold of those guy
- 34:41Speaker 4: Dorian Williams, he's a little lighter like Terrell Bernard. We're
- 34:44Speaker 4: a little skinny in the linebacker frame, but you know
- 34:46Speaker 4: somebody's got to start there. So I like it. He's
- 34:49Speaker 4: not just gonna This isn't as much of a depth piece.
- 34:51Speaker 4: I thinks, IGB. I think this is a compete for
- 34:53Speaker 4: a starting spot.
- 34:54Speaker 3: You see it the same way Tom, You see you
- 34:56Speaker 3: think that this guy could come in and maybe push
- 34:58Speaker 3: Dorian or put you know, put it was not probably Bard,
- 35:01Speaker 3: but push Williams for time.
- 35:03Speaker 2: See this is how with Caleb with Caleb Moore's his name. Yeah,
- 35:12Speaker 2: I really like I also really like to pick.
- 35:14Speaker 3: I really.
- 35:16Speaker 2: I do think he's gonna absolutely absolutely compete for a
- 35:19Speaker 2: starting job. I really do right off the bat, because
- 35:22Speaker 2: I'm telling you what, this kid. The only thing that
- 35:24Speaker 2: worries about worries me about him is he's a little raw.
- 35:28Speaker 2: He's going to need coach stuff. He's gonna need a
- 35:30Speaker 2: very good linebackers coach playing in the NFL. This is
- 35:34Speaker 2: how I feel about him. Back to what DT said,
- 35:37Speaker 2: our linebacking core last year is a mess.
- 35:41Speaker 3: And I tell you what.
- 35:41Speaker 2: For Shaq Thompson to come out to be the best linebacker,
- 35:44Speaker 2: and that's that's that's so, and.
- 35:46Speaker 3: I like Shack. I'm glad, no, no, no, I know,
- 35:48Speaker 3: but yeah, but that's behind him.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the bar right there. The thing about Caleb
- 35:57Speaker 2: Or is that his parents, both his arents, we're collegiate
- 36:01Speaker 2: track athletes, so you know he comes from that speed. Okay, absolutely,
- 36:06Speaker 2: he's so fast. He comes from good stock. I really
- 36:10Speaker 2: do like to pick. I just think another thing with
- 36:12Speaker 2: our life backing crew, Rob Dt is it.
- 36:15Speaker 3: I think.
- 36:16Speaker 2: I don't think we're done.
- 36:17Speaker 3: I think we're going to add somebody.
- 36:19Speaker 2: I think we're going to add another free agent. Okay,
- 36:21Speaker 2: I highly doubt it's going to be Milana because the
- 36:23Speaker 2: numbers don't work out. We're already paying him not to
- 36:26Speaker 2: play for us, so I don't see him Shack. Okay,
- 36:29Speaker 2: i'd bring Shack back. We really got to get that
- 36:32Speaker 2: linebacker room together. And I hope this kid, like you said, Rob,
- 36:35Speaker 2: competes for the starting job. Dorian Williams scares me when
- 36:39Speaker 2: he drops in the coverage. To tell you about where,
- 36:42Speaker 2: I really like william But when he drops in the coverage,
- 36:45Speaker 2: it looks I'm like that Ben Affleck.
- 36:47Speaker 3: Mean, I love it, I love it.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Yeah, he can, he can.
- 36:55Speaker 3: Conjure up some definitely some anxiety. It's just like he's
- 36:59Speaker 3: and they said this kick can They say this kid
- 37:01Speaker 3: can track, and that he can run with he can
- 37:03Speaker 3: run with tight ends. They say he could run with
- 37:04Speaker 3: backs out of the backfield. So I mean, clearly he's fast.
- 37:07Speaker 3: So you know, like I said, it's the it's I
- 37:09Speaker 3: think that that's the biggest thing that you said that's
- 37:11Speaker 3: gonna that's gonna hit is that he just needs coaching,
- 37:13Speaker 3: because like I said, you can't coach be but if
- 37:15Speaker 3: you're in the wrong gap stuff like that, hopefully you
- 37:17Speaker 3: can work with that through film session stuff like that
- 37:19Speaker 3: and kind of you know, driving into this guy where
- 37:21Speaker 3: to be this is. But then there's another thing though,
- 37:24Speaker 3: dt is that again back to Jim Leonard, I think
- 37:28Speaker 3: it's gonna be a lot less complicated, okay, And I'm
- 37:30Speaker 3: not here to shit on mcdert, you know what I mean,
- 37:31Speaker 3: Like I'm it's over. He's not the coach anymore, so
- 37:34Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not gonna do a parade to or
- 37:35Speaker 3: anything like that. But one of the things that was
- 37:38Speaker 3: always a sticking point with him was that his defense
- 37:41Speaker 3: were complicated and that there was a lot of checks
- 37:43Speaker 3: and you're looking around. How many times do we see
- 37:45Speaker 3: the guys, you know, linebackers looking and they're communicating stuff
- 37:47Speaker 3: like that, This Jim Leonard seems like seaball, go get baull. Seaball,
- 37:52Speaker 3: go get ball. Simplify, simplifying, excuse me. Everybody's job, everybody's
- 37:55Speaker 3: job is is their job, and everybody's got one or
- 37:57Speaker 3: two things that they're supposed to do. From the ends,
- 37:59Speaker 3: for the linebackers, from the guys in the middle sea ball,
- 38:03Speaker 3: go get ball. There's only a couple jobs. And I
- 38:05Speaker 3: think that that could help, especially with a young kid
- 38:07Speaker 3: like Caleb, is that you don't have to think about
- 38:10Speaker 3: a lot of processing. There's not a lot of checks,
- 38:11Speaker 3: not a lot of things that you got to check with.
- 38:13Speaker 3: Make sure that you're just in your gap, doing your
- 38:15Speaker 3: right job, and go get that damn ball. And I
- 38:17Speaker 3: think that that could help with a young defense DT. Yeah.
- 38:23Speaker 4: Attack, attack, attack, that's the word. That's the word they
- 38:26Speaker 4: keep using, and you know, you.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Fly, fly to it.
- 38:29Speaker 4: I maybe that's why Dorian Williams wasn't excelling, you know,
- 38:34Speaker 4: because because it was too complicated and he was too
- 38:37Speaker 4: fast to get you know, to get back to back.
- 38:40Speaker 1: He's kind of just like glitched out. But yeah, sorry,
- 38:43Speaker 1: go ahead, Tom.
- 38:44Speaker 2: I just think we got We have Joe Andrews, and
- 38:47Speaker 2: we have Kante Jenkins, and we have Jimmy Charlo. That's
- 38:50Speaker 2: the rest of our death right there.
- 38:51Speaker 3: Guys.
- 38:52Speaker 2: You know a lot of the and there's three guys
- 38:54Speaker 2: with special team ball players. In my opinion, they are.
- 38:57Speaker 1: You guys were getting caught on hard knocks people exactly.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Like you guys. Ever, do you see them playing like no?
- 39:04Speaker 3: I would be I would be upset if Buffalo Joe
- 39:06Speaker 3: had to play, you know, like for real.
- 39:07Speaker 2: For real, this Kale pick, this pick had to go down.
- 39:12Speaker 2: It had Now what really upsets me is when back
- 39:16Speaker 2: to the first pick is that we passed on Jacob
- 39:18Speaker 2: Rodriguez and he goes to the Dolphins. Yeah, he goes
- 39:22Speaker 2: there and has like a Hall of Fame career. I'll
- 39:25Speaker 2: just throw up.
- 39:26Speaker 3: But listen, don't worry about the Miami right now. They
- 39:28Speaker 3: got a whole year that they're taking off because they
- 39:30Speaker 3: want a quarterback. So we don't have at least we
- 39:32Speaker 3: don't have to think about him in twenty twenty six.
- 39:34Speaker 3: So don't let that make your fret too much. Round five,
- 39:37Speaker 3: Pick one sixty seven. Another pick. This is probably my
- 39:40Speaker 3: second favorite pick fellas Jalen Jalen Kilgore man is a
- 39:44Speaker 3: Swiss Army knife in the defensive backfield. And again it's
- 39:48Speaker 3: just on brand for what they keep talking about and
- 39:51Speaker 3: telling us that Jim Leonard wants. They say that Jim
- 39:53Speaker 3: Leonard wants guys that are positionless, he wants guys that
- 39:56Speaker 3: can fit, and that he would I think one of
- 39:57Speaker 3: the quotes is that he doesn't want guys that fit
- 39:59Speaker 3: in the box. This is the definition of a guy
- 40:02Speaker 3: that does not fit in the box. Jalen Kilgore DT.
- 40:04Speaker 3: I know him a little bit because of the fact
- 40:07Speaker 3: being down here in South Carolina, close to South Carolina
- 40:09Speaker 3: Football in Charlotte, so I see a lot of the
- 40:11Speaker 3: Gagcock's tape and stuff like that. And I mean even
- 40:14Speaker 3: when you were here, you saw we went into that
- 40:15Speaker 3: random barn was all Cape Cox fan. Listen, this kid
- 40:19Speaker 3: can play, man, This this kid has got He's got
- 40:22Speaker 3: potential now, whether that be at the nickel, whether that
- 40:24Speaker 3: be for safety down the road, whether you know, because
- 40:27Speaker 3: you know Geno Stone's on a one year deal. CJ.
- 40:29Speaker 3: Gardner Johnson's on a one year deal. So I don't
- 40:31Speaker 3: I don't know the long term position for this guy,
- 40:34Speaker 3: but I just see a Swiss Army Knight, somebody that
- 40:36Speaker 3: can come in and play wherever Leonard wants him to
- 40:39Speaker 3: DT And I'm excited about him because he plays with fire,
- 40:42Speaker 3: he plays with energy, he can hit you, and it
- 40:46Speaker 3: just seems like it's a situation where I mean, if
- 40:48Speaker 3: this guy wants positionless players, he kind of fits that box.
- 40:54Speaker 4: Second to Josh Allen being drafted, you know, Michael Hyde,
- 40:58Speaker 4: Jordan Poyer, I would say, are the best roster moves, okay,
- 41:02Speaker 4: other other than other than Josh Allen being drafted, those
- 41:05Speaker 4: those two are the best roster moves, yes, second to that.
- 41:09Speaker 4: So going into the safety with those with those guys
- 41:12Speaker 4: you just mentioned on one year deals, to bring that
- 41:14Speaker 4: depth in with Cole Bishop, who was you know, still
- 41:16Speaker 4: young in his career and try to build that safety
- 41:19Speaker 4: tandem back up. And this is the way to do it.
- 41:21Speaker 4: I you know this late in the in the draft.
- 41:24Speaker 3: I'm not.
- 41:24Speaker 4: I'm not, I don't know, but I will tell you
- 41:27Speaker 4: this is kind of corny. But in NCAA Football twenty
- 41:31Speaker 4: six last year, I uh, dumb truck was a middle
- 41:34Speaker 4: linebacker for the South Carolina Game Cocks nice and.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Jalen Kilgore was adult. This dude had like two picks.
- 41:43Speaker 1: The game was like always in the mix. I'm in
- 41:45Speaker 1: like the you know, because it's like first person.
- 41:47Speaker 4: You're up on you know, I'm sitting right up to
- 41:49Speaker 4: the seventy five inch you're in the batch pad and
- 41:51Speaker 4: I'm like first person making tackles and Jalen Kilgore is everywhere.
- 41:54Speaker 4: So that's that's dumb. We might catch some flag from
- 41:57Speaker 4: that from in the chat for being corny, but hey,
- 42:01Speaker 4: dog football, and I think, you know, we got to
- 42:06Speaker 4: bring that safety tandem back and and this this is
- 42:09Speaker 4: the way to do that.
- 42:10Speaker 3: So I like it.
- 42:11Speaker 1: Let's go kill Gore.
- 42:15Speaker 3: What do you think, Tom? Besides uh college football parallels.
- 42:20Speaker 2: I want to do back in the draft. I want
- 42:22Speaker 2: to draft Dump Truck as a linebacker by the Buffalo Bills.
- 42:32Speaker 1: Run out of that high Mark Week one.
- 42:36Speaker 2: I uh uh I is somebody that I Mark drafted
- 42:42Speaker 2: to the Bills. Pretty much every time I did a
- 42:44Speaker 2: Mark draft, I was listening to one and Steve Casker
- 42:49Speaker 2: and Chris Brown has said everybody, this is the general
- 42:52Speaker 2: consensus that everybody in the Bill's Mafia was unbelievably happy
- 42:56Speaker 2: about this pick. I was just going to plug play.
- 43:00Speaker 2: He could be a Day one starter. I have no
- 43:03Speaker 2: doubt that if there's a shot he can get on
- 43:05Speaker 2: the field, they're gonna give it to him. And this
- 43:07Speaker 2: kid is going to be good. I really feel it.
- 43:09Speaker 2: I just you know he and even in he doesn't
- 43:15Speaker 2: but he could play.
- 43:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:17Speaker 2: I mean he kind of reminds me of how he
- 43:19Speaker 2: plays a little bit of like Rawandez Barber, but they
- 43:21Speaker 2: play different positions, so it's kind of hard. But he
- 43:24Speaker 2: he he is going to be It's going to be
- 43:26Speaker 2: a dog man.
- 43:28Speaker 3: Yeah. And that's the one thing is that it doesn't
- 43:31Speaker 3: have to necessarily be biggest impact in twenty six because
- 43:35Speaker 3: they played football past this year. And I think that
- 43:37Speaker 3: this is a guy that maybe maybe things don't work
- 43:39Speaker 3: out with Geno Stone or something like that, and you
- 43:40Speaker 3: don't you're not resigning him, maybe you're keeping CJ or
- 43:43Speaker 3: maybe he's gone. What if the case may be, if
- 43:45Speaker 3: Cole Bishall can continue continue his ascent and continue to
- 43:48Speaker 3: stay on that trajectory where he played very well last
- 43:50Speaker 3: year and he's only uprise, then this this Kiny might
- 43:53Speaker 3: be a guy that can just plug and play and
- 43:54Speaker 3: he could be his you know, safety. Tannem for it
- 43:56Speaker 3: for years to come, So I'm excited about it. Round
- 43:59Speaker 3: five point eight one, Zame Durant, Uh Bean finally gets
- 44:02Speaker 3: a defensive tackle. You know, he's six one two ninety's
- 44:05Speaker 3: not the biggest, you know, hugest. He's not Ted Washington.
- 44:08Speaker 3: What if the case may be, but this guy Penn
- 44:10Speaker 3: State played well, you know, was productive there, and it's
- 44:14Speaker 3: a situation where he can line up. He could be
- 44:16Speaker 3: a three tech. You know, he can line up and
- 44:18Speaker 3: be that guy. The one thing that I kept saying
- 44:20Speaker 3: was don't make Dion Walker play nose tackle, because then
- 44:24Speaker 3: you are taking away everything that makes Dion Walker special
- 44:27Speaker 3: because they I call him the polar Bear because he's
- 44:30Speaker 3: got those nimble feet. He's a mountain of a man.
- 44:32Speaker 3: But he's not Ted Washington. We talked about that DT
- 44:35Speaker 3: last week. Zame Durant comes in for depth to round
- 44:38Speaker 3: out this draft towards the back end, and I don't
- 44:40Speaker 3: have any problems with it. Again, we've already talked about
- 44:43Speaker 3: Kate McDonalds, so we're not going to rehash that. But
- 44:45Speaker 3: you bring in a death piece defensive tackle with high
- 44:48Speaker 3: pedigree coming from Penn State. So I've got no problem
- 44:50Speaker 3: with the DT.
- 44:51Speaker 4: I've been watching Penn State d lineman since Dakwan Jones
- 44:54Speaker 4: thirteen years ago. You know, they they're nice then, and
- 44:59Speaker 4: they're big. You know, I went, I went to a
- 45:01Speaker 4: Penn State game this year and I watched Saint Durant.
- 45:03Speaker 4: I in my mock drafts, I was mock drafting Zan
- 45:06Speaker 4: Durant earlier than this. I was mock drafting him way
- 45:09Speaker 4: earlier than this. So yeah, like in the this was
- 45:13Speaker 4: one eighty one, Yeah, fifth round, Yeah, one eighty one.
- 45:16Speaker 4: I was in like probably one forties with him in
- 45:19Speaker 4: my mox. So you know, definitely a name like I
- 45:22Speaker 4: just I'm kind of biased towards Penn.
- 45:23Speaker 1: State, and and he's solid in there.
- 45:26Speaker 4: He's solid in there and in all directions, big in
- 45:28Speaker 4: the Big Ten again, playing up against the biggest boys
- 45:31Speaker 4: each week. I like this pick a lot. I like
- 45:33Speaker 4: this pick a lot. It was a name that I
- 45:35Speaker 4: didn't even expect that. I was just like, oh, it's
- 45:37Speaker 4: a Penn State like weird thing that I like Penn State,
- 45:40Speaker 4: and you know, this is defensive linement.
- 45:41Speaker 1: And then we drafted him. I was like, finally we
- 45:43Speaker 1: got a name that I.
- 45:44Speaker 3: Like, you know, familiar with.
- 45:46Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm cool. That's that's it was cool.
- 45:48Speaker 3: I like that time before we wrap the draft, what
- 45:50Speaker 3: do you think is saying? I thought that it was perfect?
- 45:52Speaker 3: Writ and back into the draft, address it and get
- 45:54Speaker 3: kind of bills Maffia off your back if you're being
- 45:56Speaker 3: you know, I got my damn defensive tackle.
- 45:58Speaker 2: Y'all wanted I this guy's this is the one I
- 46:02Speaker 2: didn't understand.
- 46:03Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't get.
- 46:04Speaker 2: So I felt I felt that we already had. I
- 46:08Speaker 2: thought I thought our defensive front room was already crowded.
- 46:10Speaker 2: We got Dwayne Carter coming back, Landon Jackson coming back,
- 46:13Speaker 2: Michael Waite. We got got guys that we're gonna kick inside.
- 46:16Speaker 2: I think Zane Duran's a little undersized. I saw some
- 46:19Speaker 2: of his I saw some of the highlight tape, and
- 46:22Speaker 2: I did like, I just don't get it. I wanted to.
- 46:25Speaker 2: I want him to be my proven me wrong pick,
- 46:28Speaker 2: Like I want him to show me why we took him. Okay,
- 46:31Speaker 2: I don't see it.
- 46:32Speaker 3: It's round five too, so you know it's also round five,
- 46:35Speaker 3: But I get it.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Hey, I don't want to. I don't want him to fail.
- 46:38Speaker 2: I just I just didn't understand the pick. I thought
- 46:40Speaker 2: I thought there was another defensive lineman, that fitter scheme
- 46:43Speaker 2: better that we could have brought in.
- 46:45Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair. I mean it's round five. You know,
- 46:48Speaker 3: when you get past round four, round five, six seven,
- 46:52Speaker 3: you are now you're literally at the bar drinking a
- 46:54Speaker 3: pint and you are throwing darts at the board. You're
- 46:56Speaker 3: trying to hit that bulls eye saw. You know, you
- 46:58Speaker 3: see what you can do. And that's really what being
- 47:00Speaker 3: was trying to do, is accumulate picks. I did not
- 47:02Speaker 3: expect the DT and I talked about it when we
- 47:04Speaker 3: had nine picks last week. We were like, no way
- 47:06Speaker 3: nine players make the team. And then he actually comes
- 47:08Speaker 3: out with ten picks. So interesting how that works. As
- 47:11Speaker 3: we wrap up the draft tonight, Fellas, before we get
- 47:13Speaker 3: to the tailweit report because I know that Sabers hockey
- 47:15Speaker 3: is on all of BILS Mafia's mind. One Buffalo DT.
- 47:18Speaker 3: We talked about that last week. One Buffalo round seven
- 47:21Speaker 3: to twenty Toriano Pride, junior cornerback out of Missouri, round
- 47:24Speaker 3: seven as well. Two thirty nine Tommy Doman, who if
- 47:27Speaker 3: you draft a punter, then that means that listen, Mitch Westowski,
- 47:31Speaker 3: whatever you might want to not get get in an apartment,
- 47:34Speaker 3: get it, get a short least because if they drafted
- 47:36Speaker 3: a damn thunder your days maybe number YEAHD round out
- 47:41Speaker 3: the draft two forty one. Round seven Armage reed abrams
- 47:46Speaker 3: of guard out of Texas A and m dt as
- 47:48Speaker 3: I kind of just alluded to I kind of spoiled
- 47:50Speaker 3: and buried the lead. I don't have nothing crazy out
- 47:52Speaker 3: to hear. Round seven you're you're throwing darts. But Tommy Doman,
- 47:55Speaker 3: if you draft a punter or a kicker, that means
- 47:58Speaker 3: that he's probably gonna make the team because you just don't.
- 48:00Speaker 3: You don't waste draft picks on on that positions. You
- 48:03Speaker 3: just don't.
- 48:04Speaker 4: Sec I he forced me to watch highlights of a punter,
- 48:12Speaker 4: so he better just makes the team.
- 48:13Speaker 1: Dude, Yeah, whatever.
- 48:15Speaker 2: He's gonna make Tommy, Tommy Domans the Tommy Dooman's dad
- 48:19Speaker 2: played middle linebacker for for maybe Okay, I like that,
- 48:24Speaker 2: and he was also he did participated in a lot
- 48:27Speaker 2: of kicking camps that were in Buffalo.
- 48:30Speaker 1: I heard.
- 48:31Speaker 3: I heard that he kicks too, though, right. I heard
- 48:33Speaker 3: that he can, right, so maybe maybe he can even
- 48:37Speaker 3: do the kickoff duties. So you know that like with
- 48:39Speaker 3: those with the new kickoff rules, if if Bass is
- 48:41Speaker 3: still slow to get back so no, no, no, no no,
- 48:47Speaker 3: they they already paid Bass. Bass has got to be
- 48:48Speaker 3: the kicker, I guess now, as long as he's healthy. Listen,
- 48:51Speaker 3: I really enjoyed it. Tonight, before we wrap up, listen,

- 50:31Speaker 3: little bit, and you are definitely you're better than me.
- 50:35Speaker 3: It's not it's it's I think it's the anxiety of
- 50:37Speaker 3: being up three to one and and then not closing
- 50:40Speaker 3: the deal. What a epic opportunity it was on Game
- 50:43Speaker 3: five to just close it out at the at Key
- 50:45Speaker 3: Bank in front of the fans. And then I watched
- 50:47Speaker 3: the next night Philly closes out and the dude fucking
- 50:51Speaker 3: chucks his stick in the crowd after he scores the game,
- 50:53Speaker 3: would and go plts the series. I was just like,
- 50:55Speaker 3: I couldn't. There was just I couldn't do anything but
- 50:57Speaker 3: be jealous. I was just jealous of just the whole atmosphere,
