• 0:24
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: That's the whole the combines, Like how much can you
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: possibly fit into this many days?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: That's that's what the combine is.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: What is your favorite part about the combine?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: That's what it is seeing everyone. You just walk down
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: the hall and you're like, oh, there's Joe Brady. Oh
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: you know there's going to be like you don't even
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: you don't even have to necessarily even plan it. You
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: just walk in and see people right away.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It's how many combines have you been to? When are
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you keeping track? I am?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I gotta stop though.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: What's the number? What's the number? This is twelve twelve,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You're in double digits.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: That's wild. That's wild.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Does it feel like the same thing every year or
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: do the new coaches, new new GM's, new scouting departments
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: kind of keep it keep it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: New I mean this year, This year feels a little
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: different because a couple of things happening at once.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Ten new coaches is a lot.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's also it's kind of this weird mix of
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: like nil plus the transfer portal plus ten new coaches,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: so you have like a lot of different new philosophies
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: in different places. There's some for the bills, we'll get
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: into that, but also I don't know what to make
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Like some scouts say, it's a good thing that the
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: players have moved around a different team, so you can
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: see how they behave with money, you can see how
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: they behave in new circumstances, you get more touch points
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: on them. Some scouts are like, I don't know the playbooks,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: this thin, I don't know what they've exactly done, so
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I don't this That's what feels different about the rest
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: of U's the same, Yeah, but that's what feels different
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: about this combine. It's kind of the way everything's sort
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: of situated a little bit differently.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: What's the most important thing you get out of the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: combine every year?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Who believes in what you know?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Like, like, if if you're telling me philosophies, then you
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: can see who can you know, actually fulfill what they
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: say they're going to do. Right, It doesn't always work
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: out that it's that easy. Of course, everyone has a philosophy. Yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: but you have you already have a team, and you're
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: you're not starting a team from scratch with unlimited picks
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: in any player. So I think the thing I mostly
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: like to get out of it is some of these changes.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You're not the only team that has a new defense, right.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I want to know what they really mean by that,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: because who plays base front anymore?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I mean that's so you know, like I've talked about
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: that here this week, right.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: A bit, Right, So what does it mean to you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to switch that?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Like it can mean a lot of things, But who's
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: really who plays base defense anymore?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh wait, No, it's multiple. It's very multiple. That's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: what Jim Leonard, our new defense coordinator, has said. We
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: want to be multiple. Yes, we're going to be a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: three to four base switching from a four to three,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: but we want to be a defense that has players.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: We've heard positionless players thrown out a lot. Brandon Bean
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: mentioned it this week, is to that is what they're
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: looking for in free agency and out of this draft,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: is you think about Buffalo's defense and how it has
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: existed as a four to three and shifting to a
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: three four, What does a three to four defense allow
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you to do?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: To me, a lot of these guys, So if you
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: look at like the difference, I was trying to remember
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the exact number, but they we don't just track with
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: next gend stats like what happens when the players are
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: on the field. It tracks people running onto and off
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: of the field. So if you look at what's been
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: going on in the past five seasons specifically, probably even more,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: but we just looked at five it was like the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: number of miles miles that these defensive front guys are running,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: switching on and off the field to kind of get
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the best and most advantageous matchups against whatever offense are
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: looking at. They're running like way more than ever before.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's like sixty five percent increase. Don't quote me on
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: that number, but it's more than fifty percent, less than
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: seventy percent somewhere in between there, right, So when you're
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: switching from four to three to three four, it just
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: changes some of the principles as to who's supposed to
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: do what and perhaps what the strategy is there is
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: that just like you're seeing from let's usee Seattle because
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: they've played the longest, well, one of the two teams
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: that have played the August this season, you had Nicki Minwarre,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: who's like claims to be an s It says a
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: little S for safety next to his name, but he
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: didn't play very many snaps that truse safety. He played
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: like nickel and off ball linebacker, like all the other
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: positions as well, So that the point is to get
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: people closest to the position that coach wants them to
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: be in. So who cares what the base is, It's
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: just more these are the assets on the field, so
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that when we're changing the way that that front looks
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: every single snap, every single play, we get the right
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: people in there to stop the things we're looking to stop.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Right the reason why Buffalo has switched schemes on defense
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: is because they've hired new head coach Joe Brady. Yep
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: been in the building quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinators, so
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: he's quite familiar with Josh Allen and the entire offense.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: We guess it's going to be similar in ways, but
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of course different in other ways. How does Joe Brady
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: fit what Buffalo has going on and getting over that hump.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Well, familiarity is huge, right, So obviously they know each
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: other very well, and it's my understanding Josh Allen was
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: in the head coaching interviews. I would imagine his input
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: was very important to the entire organization as to how
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: they move forward, especially with you know, look like you
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: have to take into account a new stadium. Got to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: make bills fans so happy obviously, you know, but it's
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: gonna be fun. But you're opening a new stadium that
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: doesn't happen very often, if at all, for some teams. Right,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: So kind of taking all those into consideration, who best
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: to structure what we've already got, have familiarity with who's
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: on the team, but have the right vision for you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: throwing the ball more, I don't know, doing some things.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: You're probably gonna see a lot more past attempts. They
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: may not be deep past attempts, but I think they're
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: gonna see more.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned more past attempts than a lot of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: people like to go back in Joe Brady's career and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: look to the LSU team that he couched the one.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And that's some pretty good players on that team, Joe.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Burrow and Jefferson, and love to think, Okay, if that's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: what happened there, then this is what's going to happen.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: The twenty twenty sixth iteration of the Bills.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I think I don't know.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: If you're a fantasy football player, I think you just mean, like,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: James Cook is gonna have a lot of pass receptions,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and I think whoever ends up being the pass catchers,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: we'll probably know by October who there. But think about it,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: he had on the same team, on the same freaking team,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Jamar Chase and Justin Jeffers. It's wild, that's crazy.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Both of those guys are two at the very top
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of the entire league.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: So I mean, but you have to remember he had
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: those assets at his disposal. Obviously, Joe Burrow is a
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: big deal. But you know, we got Josh.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: We're good.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: The Bills have won six straight playoff games. They usher
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: in a new era with Joe Brady, a new culture,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a new mindset, some new energy in the building. What
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: does Buffalo need to do this offseason? What's at the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: top of Cynthia Freelan's list as she thinks about the Bills.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I think the way that the Bills need to handle
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: being in a very tough conference with great quarterbacks. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: know this year was kind of weird with like who
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: didn't make the playoffs, but handling that, like what is
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: the how is this new defense going to operate? Because
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: that defense is when I think Bills, I think defense,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I think defensive front. I think mowing down quarterbacks, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I think starting with figuring out how this new defense
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: works is a really big deal. And then of course
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: giving Josh Allen the reinforcements that he needs. But between
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Josh James and the O line, like, that's not a
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: bad place to start, Like you were, you know, when
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at that, it's like, okay, well let's just
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: stretch the field a little bit. But that's more to
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: me a nice to have figure out the defensive front first,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: exactly what you want to do and exactly who can
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: do it, back it up with the right pieces and
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: move forward.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, stretching the field. Let's get into this twenty twenty
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: six draft class. When you think about the drafts class
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: as a whole, what comes to mind.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: It's a deep wide receiver class, which is good, which
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: that's probably something we're going to be saying for like
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the next ten years because part of the other thing
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: with the nil stuff is, like these wide receivers they
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: get paid more and thus so it's kind of inspiring
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: more people that maybe would have been a tight end
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: or something else to be a wide receiver because think
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: about money incentives all those things. So this is a
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: deep wide receiver class. It was the fastest linebacker class.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They were blazing in Combine history.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Fastest in Combine history. Four point five to five was
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the average forty time. That's crazy. Second fastest defensive line
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: class in Combine history. That's pretty crazy as well. And
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: some of the guys didn't even run, So you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: there's that. But I think it's you know, you talk
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: about those positionless players, and I think that's the way
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: college is moving a little bit more because you know
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the Sunny Styles who just absolutely had a just crazy
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Combine He was a safety turned linebacker. He's he could
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: play a positionless middle monster. I don't know, I don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: we need any name for it, but you know, a
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: positionless player in the middle. He's six' four and he
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: jumped forty three and a half inches and a ten
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: foot two broad with a four for six BECAUSE i
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: knew it was four four seven unofficial four four six.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Officials SO i.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Mean the point is is they're all getting bigger and faster.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Strung you just need to know how you want to use.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Them speaking of wide, receiver, yeap who is a wide
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: receiver that fits? What? Buffalo?
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Well who DID i must you spoke about? SEPARATION i,
• 9:20

• 10:46
  Speaker 3: him to run the fastest forty. HERE i think it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: going to be a Fast but there's some guy here
• 10:50

• 16:04
  Speaker 2: talk about speed and what speed could do to an
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: offense or a defense and having that a part of the.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Roster is there a speedy wide receiver who can really
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: separate that maybe you could find first second.

  Speaker 3: Round let's wait till they run their forties BEFORE i
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: say who's like super super speedy or. Not i'm looking

  Speaker 3: at these guys in this draft AND i think all
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: of them are. FAST i don't really care about incremental.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Speed it doesn't usually pay, off, right the four to
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: two guys doesn't really always.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Translate do analytics tell you?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: That?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, yes because remember you have to wear pads when
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: you play, football and you're never running a straight. Line
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: if you were to run straight line, untouched you could
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: score a touchdown. Too i'm saying you straight line untouched
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: for me and coach exactly. Right but no one's, untouched
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: no one's running a straight, line and no one Like
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: that's just not how it. Works Who kunaku is the
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: best example of. That he ran a very slow, forty
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: and that what you.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Say he's one of the.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Best, yeah that get, guy so you got to know

  Speaker 3: about what you're expecting to. Do he can also block
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: like very. Well SO i don't know all those things
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: matter put, together.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: As analytics relate to the scouting combine and the process
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: over the next couple, months these guys getting ready to be.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Drafted what's the what's the craziest tie from analytics to
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: the combine or as you're kind of diving into these
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: players that you think doesn't get talked about, enough that's really.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: IMPORTANT i love the old lineman AND i love watching their.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Feet this is not really something For buffalo because you
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: guys are great with, that but ultimately watching how low
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: they can keep their hips in the first ten split
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: of the forty is something that really does actually translate
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: to on the field not being a. Wastebender so you
