  Speaker 3: the Official Bills Mafia podcast network that we simulcast on.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Listen DT. Let's just dive into it a little bit.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: The offseason, I told everybody we were gonna be gone
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and kind of sitting back, kicking our feet up and
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: watching things. Well, you know how I am, and you
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: know how I'm always on the wide receiver train, different
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: things like that. Brandon Being kicks off the twenty twenty
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: six offseason by making a trade, and I wanted to
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: get your thoughts on it because I know on Twitter
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: there was definitely some some different options and some different
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: viewpoints on it. I'll get to mind second, but listen,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Brandon Bean goes out, he gets approven established wide receiver
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: to come in and be the Bill's new wide receiver. One.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's on. I think it's just there's without
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: debate that he's.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: The best wide receiver the Bills have had since Stefan Diggs,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: and I don't think that you'll fight me on that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: The price was the price. Some people say it a
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: little bit high. Some people say that we was okay
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: after seeing what why do it went for? What say
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: you dt, Because that really kicked off our twenty twenty
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: six offseason was buffer bills, you know, just Brandon Breen
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: making a move, identifying a need, understanding that he can't
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: just sit there and stand pat He goes out and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: gets a receiver wide receiver one for Josh.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: What did mister p say. Yesterday's price is not today's price.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And that is you know something that that is what
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it is, that this is the move we should have
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: made when we got rid of Stefan Diggs. This is
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a replacement that needed to happen. The you know, the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: twenty million dollar guy, Stefan Diggs was a tow him
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in dollar guy.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: You lose him.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: We didn't replace him. We tried to bargain it for
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the last two years. And then you saw what we
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: had for it, you know, and there was there was
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: some shine obviously the offense of the most touchdowns in
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: franchise history and and this and that and Brandon Bean
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: youll at gr and we don't need receivers and but
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it came down to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks getting ten targets in the divisional playoff game
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and you lose by a hare, you know, and a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: game you really got out played with five turnovers.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: It is what it is.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: But it's a it's a game where Brandon Cooks is
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: getting ten looks in the game that's desperately needed. Josh
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is to be able to go to somebody and get
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the ball to and it cost you twenty million dollars
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to do that, so you know, that's that's what it is.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: That's the going rate. I you know, we got off
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of that that mindset of we can't pay anybody else
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: because we paid Josh Allen all this money like so
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: does twenty other teams in the league, for real, And
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that's something we had to move forward. So I'm glad
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: we did it. Yes, he's not the freshest tool in
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the shed. He's not the best one, you know, out
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: there by any means. But I think with the pool
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of what was available, he made it work. And being
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, yes, the second round pick, but everyone was
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: bitching we didn't pay the first round pick for Jalen
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Waddle earlier in the year at the trade deadline, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I put I put Dj Muomer pretty comparable to Steph
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: not stuff, pretty comparable to Jaylen Waddle. You know, if
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you're you're putting apples and oranges in, you can't convince
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: me too much or the other that one is extremely
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: better than the other. So we got that Wattle move
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: we wanted back on the trade deadline. We paid a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: second round pick for him after the season. Didn't help
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: us obviously through that playoff run or anything like that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But he's here now and definitely the best player on
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this receiving room team, and hopefully it brings out more
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and other receivers on this squad. I mean, we were
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: rolling with the same receiver room anyway going in, so
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: now we add an obvious upgrade to it. Can't be
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: upset with it. Any second round pick we're gonna get
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this year, I'm still picking Brandon. I'm still picking you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: DJ Moore. So it is what it is. We we
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: got to pay the price we got to pay to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: get a player in that everybody saw we needed. Everybody's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: been bitching about we needed Brandon. Bean obviously knew it
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: as well. Ten targets in the divisional playoff game to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. Wasn't you know, just wasn't it. So he
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: got to bring a guy with DJ Moore. And yes,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: statistics he didn't have a great year last year, but
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: he's in a butting room where you know, somebody like
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Calen Williams, who's going to be a budding star in
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this league, is just trying to find open receivers. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he's got a good young guy in Roman Dune. Say,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: he's got a good up and comer in Lutherifer. He's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: got a you know, it's a full room. And it
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: was just he threw Ben Johnson threw to it who
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: was open. It wasn't anything that I don't think that
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: DJ Moore was least productive or anything along those lines. Yes,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he is getting older, he might have lost a little step,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: but he's proven he can be productive still. And when
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the game was on the line a few times down
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the stretch, they went to him and he delivered. You know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that great touchdown to beat the Packers there at the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in overtime was amazing And and he doesn't miss games.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Very similar to what ear Stefan Diggs was for you
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, does miss Games coming in
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be a gonna be a stud? And we paid
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you know, we paid the premium. We didn't pay forty million.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: It's not a Jamar Chase, it's not justin Jefferson. But
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: we paid the twenty million dollar guy. And that's who
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: he is. He's the Jalen model, He's the DJ Moore,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: He's that type of player. So I'm cool with it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It needed to happen, and I only think it helps.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that last part that you talked about is really
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: where I was coming at it from my perspective on Twitter,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: you know fight you know, I love the box on
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Twitter with folks, And after it happened, everybody was, you know, complay.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I can't believe you gave him a second round or
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: this and that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: And my thing was exactly what you alluded to DT
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: what second name of the second round pick that was
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: gonna come in here this year and being a contributor
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: and be ready to go. I think that if anything,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Keon Coleman should have taught us something. It should taught
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: us that you need to let these let let these guys,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: these young guys develop, you know what I mean?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Like that the big thing and the most egregious thing that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I had a problem with brand to be not replacing
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs at the time, was that you needed to
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: be drafting guys like Keyon Koman or whoever, years before
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Stephan Diggs was even out of the building, or even
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: before you had to trade him or whatever the twitter shit,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: all that type of stuff, you should have been grooming somebody.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of pressure to come into a situation
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: like the Bills where you're drafting late in the draft,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: a team that's got playoff expectations, super Bowl aspirations, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: you've got to come in and you got to be
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: a professional, and you got to get up to speed,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: learn the playbook, and then contribute on the field.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I think that that's way harder than a lot of
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: us give credence to.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: So for me, the second round pick, I really didn't
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: give a shit because there was no way that a
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: second round pick I expected to be DJ Morri's production.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly why I was okay with the Digs trade.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: And I was okay with this trade.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was it was a big price, and it
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: was a heavy price with that second round pick and
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: then you got to pay him that twenty five million
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: or whatever it is. Listen, like you said, you know, clip, listen,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the price is the price, you got to pay it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm really okay with it because of the production.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I know that this guy plays. I love that point
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: you talked about. When I looked him, I was like, damn,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: he doesn't miss any game, you know, sixteen, sixteen, sixteen,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: and then they switch to seventeen.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: He's playing all seventeen. So I really love it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And then the last component you know, to me, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I could be you know, rose colored, and maybe I'm
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: just trying to hope and a wish.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: You know, he's back with Brady. He had good years
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: in Carolina with Joe Brady and Joe Brady.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Ye yeah, man, he's back with Brady, So Brady knows
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: how to utilize this guy he has. He's not slow.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: He's not a burner, but he's not slow or anything
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: like that. So I think he's got plenty of juice left.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: He wins on the outside correct separation and hopefully, you know,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: maybe if you draft a guy I'm earlier, and we'll
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: talk about that in our draft review at the second
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: half the show. But he maybe if you draft another
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: guy that's a speedy guy, then you could take a
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: little bit of pressure off.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: And let it be more of a possession receiver as well.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: So for me, there was all positives, not many negatives
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: in respects to what he brings to the team. Yes,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: he's going to live out the entire contract. Who knows,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I do know that for next year,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: you know, the year after, we need a guy to
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: be ready for Josh Allen. And I was not interested
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: in the rookie come ining and give him that kind
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: of pressure, because yeah, pressure bus pipes.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: We saw what happened with Kean.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Not that every prospect is going to be like Kean
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and be a professional like he is or lack thereof,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: but you know, I just think that it's a lot
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: to ask of a rookie.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, who else? What were your other options? Right?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Obviously we traded for DJ Moore, so technically it could
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: have been anybody, right, but in that free agent pool,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you're looking around and it's you know, Mike Evans would
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: love that, love.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: My muted yourself. No, I like Mike Evans and he
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: got a nice deal from San Francisco. I like that
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: and myself, yeah yeah, But so he's.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Old, old, old, and you know, yes he's still churning
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: out a d thousand yard seasons. But this might be
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a year rental type of situation. I think DJ Moore
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: gives us at least a couple of years, you know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: in in the in that regard, you got a Wandell
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Robinson who went to the Titans for you know, for
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: more than twenty four million dollars a year you went,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you got you know, I.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Didn't want to pay the Jalen price. I'll tell you
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: that I wouldn't. Didn't want to pay with Denver paid.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I know why they paid it because they think that
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: they're on the cuss too. I didn't want to pay
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: that for for Wattle and I.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: So, you know, the the cards were out and DJ
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Moore was his you know, he wasn't He might not
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: have been the the Ace of diamonds, but he was
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a king of hearts, you know he was. He was
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: still a face card with what was with what was
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: out there, and still gonna play the same for you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: when you flip those cards over.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: So, uh, that's that's how I was. It's not like
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: we completely ignored somebody else to go throw a second
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: round pick at, you know, at DJ Moore, But it
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: is what it is. We got him. I like the price.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be good for us. It proved like it
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: just proved to me that like Brandon Cook's getting all
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that burn coming in late in the year, getting all
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that burn, Like we just needed that guy and that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: guy that Diggs was for us, that he could just
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: go to, you know, might be the difference of every year.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it sounds like a broken record, but
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the game of inches, the game of inches, and we
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: lose by the inch every year, and if we can
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: just get somebody to get us where we don't need
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the inches, where we're ahead by the mile, so we
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: don't you know, he could help can up hold that
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and get seventeen in a role where he doesn't have
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to do it all and you don't give him that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: nice security blanket. Getting a little older too, So yeah,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: let's rock t DJ Moore switched to number two.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Let's go. I'm down. I'm down with it man. Yeah.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Now, staying on the offensive side of the ball, before
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: we talk about defense, I'm not really much else done
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: on the offensive side of the ball. They did add
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: some depth. We saw that they brought back Connor McGovern
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: on a nice eighteen friendly deal. He did really, I
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: guess apparently Josh Allen made a call to Brandon Bean
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: or whoever. I told them, do not let both of
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: them leave the building. I want my center, preferably. So
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: they were able to get him back, and they got
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you know, after looking at what Tyler Lindenbahm got out
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: there in the Rocket or with Obo with the or
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the Raiders, and that that's a cheap deal from a government.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: So we did bring him back. I think it was
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: only thirteen million or so, so that's definitely manageable compared
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: to what these centers are blowing up for now.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: They did sign a.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Couple others, I think Cushion Berry, who's the backup center
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: who could also play center and maybe play some guard
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: if they need so. And then Austin Corbett as well,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: So just getting some depth just in case Alec Anderson
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: is not ready for that left guard position.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we've got Cybo who coming into the
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: last year that type of thing of his rookie deal,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: so we'll see how things go with that. Switching to
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball another I guess lightning round.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be hyperbolic, but you know, everybody
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: had an opinion. Brandon Bean goes out signs Bradley Chubb,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: and everybody wants to say that he's you know, he's washed,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: and that we paid you know, too much, or what
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: the case may be. I thought that the money was reasonable.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I think that the risk is the risk because of
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the fact that he does have injury history. He quietly
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: played last year for Miami. He did not miss much
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: time last year, and he was quietly productive for a
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: shitty team. So to me, you know, I expect them
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to address it in the draft DT, but I also don't.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not mad that they picked up Bradley Chubb. They're
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: looking for juice. They've been looking for juice. You know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: there is definitely some risk with his injury history, but
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I'm willing to give it a shot. I guess it's
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: bringing some other guys to go around with him, but
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: you know, we're not so he's not just you know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: the guy that we're depending on. He's not Von Miller signing,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: but hey.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Well he is he is. I mean, you well, we're
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: not depending on him as much. Correct, it comes in
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a little different points of their career, but it's the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: same exact move, you know. It's that move that veteran
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: pass rusher to come in and get you that twelve
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: sacks a year and be there for those finishing plays
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: down the stretch. And we have yet to get there.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I mean with von Miller started off good, got hurt,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: then we will Leonard Floyd who had a great year,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: but you know, it wasn't there in the playoffs. Not
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that it was his fault or anything, but but he
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't the finisher in the playoffs we needed. Joey Bosa
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: had an up and down year, had some sparks this year,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: but again when push came to shove, it's it's third
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and a mile. It's third in a mile on the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: divisional game, we need you to get to the quarterback
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to bow Nick so they don't convert on third and forever.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: And go down and beat us. And and they do so.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Again, that's not just Joey Bosa, but this is that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: spot we've been trying to fill the last four years.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: That same exact mold, that same exact mold of that
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: veteran star, and you know it went Von Miller, Leonard
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Floyd and then into Bosa and now it's and now
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: it's chubbed. So I think out of the four, you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he's just as equivalent, like when he stands up to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: what's going on, you know, as the four of them did. Uh,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: just as productive in his career. Now it's not more.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: He definitely was more productive now than Joey Bosa was
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: last year. He definitely is more productive now than I mean,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd did have a good couple of years, got
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a contract and went, you know, head head a decent
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: year in San Franto. But it you know, it's the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: injury risk. Joey Bosa was not supposed to play a lot.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: He ended up playing a lot. So yes, I think
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: we need to address that and fill that, like you said,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: But I like the signing, but I don't like, I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: don't want to just get into well we need him
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: for late in the year and then he's playing every
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: every down on a week eight game, you know, like
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Joey Boza did that one. You know, pay ninety percent
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: of the snaps right, and it is what it is,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: So I I it is it's the move we've been making,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: which I agree with that move. It's the it's the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: same exact move we've been in the last four years,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and I agree with that. But I do think we
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: need to fill that back end because it's these the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: fantasy we're trying to fulfill. I just don't think is realistic. Like, yes,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: he can be there and be a playmaker later in
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the year for us whatever, but we just have never
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: been able to get there because I think they are
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: playing a lot during the year when they shouldn't be,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and then you know, and they're not as productive as
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the season rolls on. So I think this might give
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: him a little extra juice. You know, he's been a
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: he was a top pick, he's been around the league
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Hey, this is literally my chance to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: win a ring. He knew he wasn't he wasn't gonna
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: get that. Even in his early days in Denver. They
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you know, they weren't. They didn't have the promise like
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: they were. I think they went through Paxton Lynch was
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: their starter at one point. Well he was well, he
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: was a star. Well he was a star defensive end there.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this he knows, this is his chance. It's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: it's a little different than Bosa. I think of Boso
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: with the one year deal of like I can go
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: if I have a decent year, I can go get
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: a decent contract. You know. Yeah, I think it's a
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: little different that with a multi year deal of like,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere else. I'm coming to Buffalo. We're
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: gonna try to win a ring and that's.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Gonna be the it for me. So I liked it.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I hope there's some fire involved with that. I think
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: we saw a little bit of that with Dakwan Jones
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. Somebody kind of coming
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in a little lower on, you know, coming down on
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: their career and got a little jumped with a good
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: team and ended up being somewhat productive for a couple
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of years. So I think that's what we're gonna be
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: looking at. Most of It's not going to be that pop.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: We didn't bring them in to give us, you know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the stack record, but you know, we did bring them
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: in for significant money and we've been doing what we
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that the last four years. We've been doing the same thing.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I mean, you know, like I said,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I I do understand. I you know, I argue with
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: a couple of people on Twitter around when that signing happened.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: And I know, I get the injury part, and I
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: know his knees have been you know, you know, torn
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: up and then reput back together.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I get it. But I just think that the situation
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: where you need some juice.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: There were a lot of you know, there were some
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: veterans on the on the market, and then some of
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: them got paid a lot more than what than what
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Chubb got paid, So you know, you got to figure
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: out what you want to do with cost and things
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: like that. And obviously Brandon Bean's always up against the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: cap recently, so he had to fina you on some things.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: So hey, I'm okay with it as long as you're
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: not going to just rely on them. And when we
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: do our draft coverage coming up, we'll talk about defensive
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: end because Ed Rusher is gonna be something that you're
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: gonna have to to address for sure, because obviously you
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: can't rely just on Chubb and Rousseau now, you know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: to round out the defense. DT offseason moves, uh my
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: favorite CJ GJ. I mean like, I'm I'm down with Chauncey.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Man, the cat is a dog, to be honest, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I've just loved the I love the intensity, and to me,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: we need more assholes on this team.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm I'm I'll say it just like that. We
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: need more assholes on this team.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: We need guys that are tough to play against, Guys
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: that you know, the opponents don't want to go up against.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Period.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I know that we got a lot of nice guys,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: and I know that you know that was a big
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: thing of McDermot and culture and stuff like that. But
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: where's the guy that's going to strike fear into the defense.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Where's the guy that's gonna make somebody, you know, stutter
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: when they go over the middle.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Things like that.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not talking about you know, Ronnie Lot hits and
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, but I'm just talking, you know, because
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: NFL's changed so much.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: But just a guy, a dog, a presence on the
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: field that's going to be there. Now. I heard that
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: he likes to chirp, he likes to talk. That's a
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: good that doesn't have to be a bad thing.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Gary Payton, one of my favorite basketball players all time, was,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: you know, the glove, but he was always talking shit,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: getting the people's heads, that type of thing. I don't
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: think that there's anything wrong with the guy that chirps
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: it up on the field. They said that Josh chirps
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: it up on the field, always talking shit to people.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: So we got to be okay with that type of thing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I think that this kind of guy can be a
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: culture center and a tone center on that type of
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: on the and that side of the ball.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: With the defense, I'm all in favor of it. I
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: loved it. I don't know what you think about him.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I know that he's kind of polarizing.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: He's been jumping around just a little bit most recently,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: but he's got a Super Bowl ring with Philly. They
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: loved him out there. It wasn't really a situation where
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: they they got sick of him. He goes to Houston.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I guess he didn't like his roles. He was making
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: a stink about it, stuff like that. He's not going
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: to sign here if they didn't already tell her what
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: his role is going to be, If Leonard, Jim Leonard
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: didn't already bring him here, if he doesn't have a
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: defined role and he knows what's going to happen.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where he's going to be lined up that type
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: of thing.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I'm all the way down with the guard to Johnson, like,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I'm ready to go, man, I'm down with it.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: When he got released, it was it was like middle
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it was a weird point of the year. And I
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: think teams are just grasping him up because he was
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: kind of a brand name, and teams are just grasping
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: him up. And then they grasped you know, they get
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: that with the uh you know the Texans pick him up,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: don't really oh we got him here. We don't really
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: know what we're gonna do with them, oh because we
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: got uh uh JaMarcus Ingram from the Bills. But but uh,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you know, goes to Chicago has a decent year. I
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: love it. I agree with that one hundred percent. Rob.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I know sometimes we like to have different opinions, but
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I'm all for that. We're you know, back to the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Stefan Digg's type of vibe. But like, we can't be
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: afraid of an asshole on this team. Like we need
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: some assholes. We need people, and now you just gotta
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: channel it correctly, right, be the asshole to to make
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: us work. Harder to you know, don't be selfish, don't
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: don't do those things in the in that regard. But
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, Dad, Dad left, Sean mcdermot's out man.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: We can you know, we can, we can leave, you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: we can. We can leave the fridge open a little
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: longer now, we can, you know, turn the TV up
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a little. Yeah, Dad, dad left, you know, And and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: still the same squad's in so uh so, go out
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: there and and I love it. Let's hit some people
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: establish that. I mean, that rotating door we had in
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the back. Finally cool Bishop started to you know, to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: have summer so decent burn in the fact of like
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: coming into his role and then we just had to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: fill that other role, had to fill that other role.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna be a big person to
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: do that, I mean, better than anything we had. And
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: all the experiments were we were messing with and moving
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Trey White there or whatever the case, you know, to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: be to do that in this defense positionless football, as
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you said, it's gonna be a little different. It's gonna
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: be something we we don't see. And I'd like somebody
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a little more physical if they're gonna be up and
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: get in that box a little more in that safety zone,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: not just be a far deep safety, you know, in coverage,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the safety position has changed a little, a little more
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of that Ed Reid style up in that box and
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: punch you in the mouth. So he's the guy. He's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: been proven to do that. He can do that, And
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I like the intensity he's bringing, you know, to the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: defensive side of ball of like you know, hunting the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: ball and the team defense of being hunters. And I
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna, you know, fulfill that, fulfill that duty.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So decent siding there, super cheap, yep, A situation of
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: like I was kind of upset we didn't even try.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Who knows if we had tried to go after him
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: last year when you know that whole happened and Houston
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: got him and then he went to he named it
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: up with Chicago and we didn't and we obviously needed
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: safety help and we didn't go after him. So I
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: wanted him then. I'm happy with him now and it's
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a spot that need to fill.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it did need filling, and I'm down with it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I like the intensity of just the
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: dog mentality. I think that there's something to be said
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: about somebody that makes not listen being uncomfortable. Again, we
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: always talked about that nause and with fourteen, being uncomfortable
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: is not a bad thing. It's not always something like that,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: like where it's got to be contentious. It's just a
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: situation where he's going to raise the level. He's gonna
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: demand a certain type of thing from his teammates back
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: there on the defense, and I'm down with it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Dee Alford picked up as a replacement for Tarron Johnson,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: and you know, they pick up Geno Smith, Geno Stone
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: excuse me, back in the safety room, and then they
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: bring back tomar Hamlin and that's pretty much it on
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: defense DT. It's kind of been a little bit spot
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: and go, a little bit touch and go in respects
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: to what Brandon Bean's plan has been. And I think
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: that it kind of leads us into the fact that
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: the draft should be heavy defense, and I think it
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: probably will be because of that. But d Alfred comes in.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: He's got some public excuse me, some position flexibility. He
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: can play both roles in the nickel and can slot
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: the safety if you need him, or outside corner in
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: a pinch. I like that signing. He's fast, he's twitchy,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: that type of thing. Not the biggest guy, but he's twitchy.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: He's a willing tackler. And then you know Geno Stone,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I know he gets a lot of shit from Cincinnati.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: But just listen, they're filling out the roster. They need guys,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: they need bodies for camp. Who knows if even sticks
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: on the roster, but him and tomorrow back there in
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: the safety group. So we'll see what goes on there.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: But you know, just to kind of fill out the
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: roster that you know, the Brandon bean Maye moves, he
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: made it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that with Taron Johnson gone, you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: we had to fill that d Alfred spot. And kind
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: of the vibe I've got from him was the Atlanta
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: base was very similar to like the Taron Johnson Buffalo base.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Like a couple of years ago, a couple of years ago,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: we would have been like, oh this terry. You know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: not a lot of people know about Taron Johnson, you know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: but he is positionless. He can go in he's he's
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: elite in that in that slot coverage and kind of
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: you know, does things you don't know about on the field.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: That and he we like him a lot. He wasn't
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: a brand name, but you know, he was obviously liked
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a lot, and I feel like that was the thing
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: with d l for like, I had to look him
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: up obviously when when we got him. But then then
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: kind of messaging boards and the and the twitters of
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the world where you know, Atlanta fans were like, damn
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that that's a steal, like we you know, and they
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: were kind of talking about him like we were talking
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: about Taron Johnson a couple of years ago. So I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: think that's a like a clean swap at that position.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And then, like you said, the rest were just filling
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: out the roster.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: We need bodies.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see now as we transition
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: to the draft coverage. Night's episode is presented by Buffalo
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: fan Base, the official Bill's Mafia podcast network that DT
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: and I simulcast.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: On, along with eighty six Network that we also simon
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: cast on. So listen.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: We appreciate all of those guys in the support, see
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the guys that we see you guys out there in
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: the in the in the Twitter space and Facebook space.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I see all man.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I appreciate all the support. I know DT does as well,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: h DT draft coverage. We are admittedly we put out
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: we put our hands up before. We are not draft nerds.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: That is not a shot at anybody that is. Draft
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: season is really one, you know, it's just it's its
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: own industry. We talk about that every year, how it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: just like a cycle and everybody they love it, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the mock drafts and things like that. So no shade
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. We just don't get really into
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: all the nitty gritty. What are some of your impressions,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: because for me, I think that it's probably trade down.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Everybody that I hear says that this draft is weak
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: and there's not a lot of top end blue chippers,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: and it's kind of looked like a more of a
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: middle rounds draft. I think that the Bills would be
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: wise to try to pick back up that second round pick.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I don't want to see them stretch at twenty six
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: for somebody that may not fit the Bill. Maybe you
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: feel different, but some of the names that I'm hearing,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, Kadi McDowell, who is McDonald or
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I think it is the defense attack of mihoose State.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I hear a lot about cash is Howell.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Who's I guess another short armed, but he's a bendy
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: defensive end coming out of Texas A and M. I
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: don't really know wide receiver. We all love Casey concept
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: you on. We've seen the highlights, we've seen how fast
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: he is. We know that he can help this team.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think that he's going to be there at
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: twenty six to really be around to snatch up. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: do not want to trade up DT. We've got a
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: lot of holes to fill on this defense. We've got
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: some stuff to kind of stack around Jim Leonard's defense.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I don't that's me.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: I would be okay with a trade down and recouping
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: some picks, because if everybody keeps telling me that this
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: draft is not top heavy and it's not that great,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: then you might just want to have some more darts
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: to throw at the board. Yeah.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I have trouble following that though, right, like not a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: lot of blue Chippers in the fact of like we're
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: seeing that across the college football landscape in general, a
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: lot more parody. Indiana University won the National championship.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: You know, like they were the worst.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: They were the worst team in college football, like two
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: years ago, right they are.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so got the most losses ever.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Right, So it's like it's tough for me to like
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: just agree with that narrative right out of the gate,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: like oh, there's no blue Chippers up front. It's like
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I just feel like it's a lot more saturated now.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: So like they're meaning, yes, you can find the blue
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: chipper in later rounds. It's kind of under the radar. Sure,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: But you know, my fact is last year defense, how
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: many picks do we go defensive? Six out of eight
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the first four defense and six out of eight, And
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I mean realistically got very almost zero production out of that.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I mean Dion Walker okay, yeah, but you know TJ.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Sanders battled all year.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Uh the Jackson got hurt.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Lyndon Jackson hurt, Like it's just mad Max
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: got hurt exactly. And so we didn't get a ton
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: of production out of that. Of course, of course you can't.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: But I just like to commit, like, Okay, I gotta
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: put I gotta draft twelve people. You know, I got
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: a draft twelve defensive players, and we're just not seeing
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the production, like we got the pipeline there. I like
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the you know, I like staying at twenty six, Like
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: and just for the the name of it, like right,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: it's you. It's a first round pick. It's a first
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: round pick. And I like that pressure on that player,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: like I want you to be a first round pick
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and know you're pick is not that good though, Well
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: then you're done. You're Tier ELM and we see it,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: you know it is like it's it's what do you
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: what are you getting for the twenty sixth last? When
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: we moved out of what was it twenty eight to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: get to Kean Coleman? What what did we what did
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: we actually get out of that? Like an extra fifth
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: or something?
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Much because when it all came down, we did get
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the first pick of the second.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Round twice because we tried to Carolina get to.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Get that and then you got an extra late round pick.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Like I just don't I like the name brand of
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that twenty six take it, take it twenty the guy
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: at twenty six and put the pressure on them to
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: be the first round pick. And if they don't work out,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: they don't work out, like it just why give the excuse, Oh, well,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: they're a third round pick. We didn't have a you know,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: we didn't pick to the third round, so they're a
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: third round pick, so they're not gonna be good. Like
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: why give that excuse? Like I want you to be
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: a first round talent. You've got, we picked you at
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: twenty six. You need to be a first round pick, like,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: you know. So I like that route of stay input.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And also I'm gonna be well, I guess the Sabers
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: are gonna have a playoff game that night, so it
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: really won't matter. But bitch about stay up, stay up late,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: stay up to pick twenty six and then they trade
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: out and you don't even see him. You know, that's
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: annoying too. But the receiver thing, you mentioned it earlier
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: in the show, Rob and you talk about when when
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs was gonna go out the door, we needed
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: to have somebody like Kean Coleman drafted a year before that,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: two years before that, Like we need to start getting
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: ahead of this train. So we we do have that
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Tea Higgins roll through. We do have that guy where
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: we don't have to pay him for five years and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: he's a playmaker in the league. Like that's gonna need
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: to happen. So I like that of the receiver action.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, if that conception. Is there somebody of
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: that stature is there? Take the receiver to kind of
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: build that Okay, that pipeline in like we got to
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: get ahead of it. Yes, we might not need it
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: like this second, but I think it's gonna be beneficial
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: of the team of give Allen another weapon and make
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: it happen in that regard. But I just I want
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: to stay at twenty six for the name brand purpose.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I want to put the pressure on this cat. And
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: you know, really I would prefer that receiver realm to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: get ahead of it, like you said, like that third, fourth,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: fifth round receiver guy. I just it's tough seeing him
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: make this roster with this room. This you know, there's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: still a lot of guys in this room. There's still
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys in this.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: You draft a guy in the third round, he's gonna
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: make the team. I mean, he'll make the team. I
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: don't have I have listened. You're never gonna have to
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: convince me to give Josh allimle weapons.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: You know what you're talking to.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Like, I'm the one that says fucking score forty. So
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I'm always down to give Allen more weapons. And I
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: have no problem with it. I just don't think that.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: I just don't know that much about the wide receiver
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: class to know if there's anybody that's worthy of it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: If conception on is not there.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: I think he fits perfectly what the Bills would want
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: to do because of the speed and because of some
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: of the things that he could bring to the field.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: I've watched some highlights on him today at work. But
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: after him, if he's not around, you're not drafted. You're
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: not trading up for Tad or mackay Lemon or something
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: like that. You're not doing that. That's irresponsible. So if
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: you're sitting there at twenty six, what are you doing.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: You're sure you're drafting Denzel Boston. You're drafted somebody that doesn't.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I guess my fear is that you draft somebody that
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: is not worthy of it. So I understand what you
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: mean about pressure, but that pressure works both ways. Now
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: this kid comes in. He's the first round pick, even
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: though you didn't really think that he was, but you
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: stretched and you got him. Now he's got a lot
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: on his plate where if it's a second round pick
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: or if it's a third round pick, he might have
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit more of an opportunity to kind of
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: ease into this thing. You get that big boy from
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Georgia State in the third round and you get a
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: chance to like ease this guy into into the the role.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: So for me, but then I see the ease in guy,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the you know, the eas in guy, the justin Shorters,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the ease in guy, you know, the right and how.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Many is like an investment, that's an investment.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I know about how many? How many offse It took
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Tyrell Shavers six years to make the roster.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was, he was, like he was. I
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: don't even know if he was drafted. No, I don't know.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: It's not like it's Cayden Pith like they drafted all
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: defense last year, drafted Prayther like the last pick, seventh round.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Nobody expects anything from that. So, like, you know, a
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: guy like Shavers has found money to me, so I'm
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: not expecting that. I think if you draft a guy
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: in the third round, he should make the team and
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: he should contribute. It may not be week one that
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: he's contributing, but you know, let him go through the
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: rookie paynes, let him get that kind of stuff out
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: the way, and maybe by you know, you know, Thanksgiving,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: he's contributing to the team. He's a part of the rotation,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: that type of thing. So that's all I meant by that.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: But I mean I expect the defense heavy draft DT.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I really do. I know that you they not like that.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: There's not really many holes, to be honest, on offense.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I know that they've talked about guard. You better not
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: draft a fucking guard at twenty six. I will lose
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: my shit, Like, don't do that. They don't pay guards
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: enough money to draft him in the first round. You
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: can get a guard anywhere, and that's like a future
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: me don't have to tackle because you're worried about Dion
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Dawkins and how much more like that's I'm trying to
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: get a parade right now. So I'm totally down with
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: grabbing a receiver if you want. But I do think
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: that a guy on the edge, whoever you like the best.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: If you find a guy that you like the best,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: whether it's Howl or I'm hearing a lot of stuff
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: about a couple of guys. Listen, if you find your
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: guy and he's an ed dresser, you're not gonna hear
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: me talk shit. I just think that that Brandon being
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: most likely in my mind, is going to try to
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: find a way to trade down. Now, you need a partner.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: You can't just trade with yourself. So I understand how
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: that works. And I think that if he has to
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: stay put, then he'll stay put DT. But between round
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: one and round three, that's that's it's a it's a
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: long stretch. I don't know if Brandon being considered in.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: His hands that long.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I I agree or want to sit on
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: his hands that long.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Sure, I guess I should say, sure, Yeah.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I just want that guy, that playmaker to come in.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I just want that playmaker.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: I want to Goodell at the podium and saying with
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: the twenty six pick, the twenty twenty six NFL draft, okay,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: no problem, and and you're you're right, there is pressure,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: and you're right that that doesn't really matter. But I
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: think that sometimes if you overdraft, then you just put
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: the kid in a bad situation. That's not that he
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: can't be successful, but if you really thought he was
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: a link, that's.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying. You put it you you know, we
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: overdrafted Kyrie Elam and needed him to start today, right
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: we if we draft a receiver at twenty six, you
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: know they they will have time to ease into it
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: because the room is full, right, so there will be time.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: And that's what that's what I like about that. You
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: know there isn't it? Yeah? Can you see it's okay
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: you draft too early on something. You need them to
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: start tomorrow and they can't Kean Coleman. You know, it's
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a good example. Then they can't start tomorrow. Then they
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: get bust territory pretty quick, right, And yeah.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: But you need you need picks. He doesn't have a
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: second We know that. We know Brandon being those second
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: round picks. It's I don't know, man, it's maybe I
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: don't know. Listen, you need a nose tackle. You talked
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: about you know, you talked about Deon Walker. I heard
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: a lot of things about this Kate McDonald guy. You know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Deon Walker is not is not a true nose tackle.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: He's big as a as a polar bear and not
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: get it, but he's not a true nose tackle. Don't
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: take away from his abilities and the things that make
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: him special by sticking him in there and trying to
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: make him Ted Washington.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: He is not Ted Washington. So I wouldn't be mad.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: If it's a defensive tackle, I wouldn't be mad obviously,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: if it's a receiver, and if it's an edge rusher,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: then I want that guy to be able to do.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I want him to be able to do more than
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: just bend around the edge. I heard that cash is
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: how can bend around the edge, But can he stop
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: the run? Can he set the edge?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: We saw Joey Bosa and stuff like that last year
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: having some difficulties with that. So you know, I don't know.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: That's why I don't get into the draft thing ban
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: because I have two of the opinions and then I
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: get myself confused. So listen, man, Drafter, you're gonna draft.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I'll look up his highlight tapes afterwards. Now, DT and
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I will be back next week for the recap. Like
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: you talked about, DT will be right in the middle
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: of the sabers, and then after that first round pick,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: hopefully for DT's sake, we'll be here next week and
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: be able to talk about whoever they decided to pick
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: as we transition.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: DT.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: You know, I think that before we get to the
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Tailgate report, it would be we would be remiss. One
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Buffalo to not acknowledge what has gone on with the team.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Downtown man, the Buffalo Sabers Man, shout out to the Sabers,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: because I know that you've got some opinions on this
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: as well. I've been a Sabers fan my whole life
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: as well. Now it's not the fandom, as you can
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: see behind me, it's not the same. It's not the
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: same as the Bills. But I want their success the same.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I'm you know, I'm Buffalo boy and raised seven to
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: one six baby, I want the Sabers to be successful.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: The drought for them felt just as shitty as the
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: drop that it did for the Bills. Many.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: It was humiliating, you know, the players. You worry about
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: the good players wanting to leave, all that type of stuff,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: you know. So I really did feel for the diehard
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Sabers fans like I am a diehard Bills fan. So
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: I've got nothing but love and respect and great things
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: to say about it. Man, it has been really fun.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: You already know DT. My middle king, Nate is as
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: a hockey fanatic.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: He loves it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: He played a couple of season down here in Charlotte.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: He is eating this shit up like ice cream. He
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: cannot wait. He's why he showed me some Savers hype
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: video the other day and like, listen, man, he is
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: really ready to get going on this whole thing.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited DT the Savers fourteen years.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: What I used to always tell people with the drought,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: I said, seventeen years is a long time to wait
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: for anything.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I don't care if it's some money that's owed to you.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: I don't care if it's for an apology for my
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: motherfucker that did you wrong, I don't care what it is.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Seventeen years a long time.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: It's the same, DT. Fourteen years is a long time.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: I know the fans have been through hell with this franchise.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: They came out, man, and it's awesome that they came
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: out in a year where you didn't really expect it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: It's been it's been pretty fun.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: To watch, man. It's awesome.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: It's awesome. And it's what I mentioned earlier in the
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: show of the like the way this offseason of football
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: has been so different. You know, it's when the Super
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Bowl happens. Okay, I'm good on football for a while.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: In the last years, it's been after Bill's gut wrenching loss,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and I watched the Super Bowl kind of out of bite,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and then you know, then then I can kind of
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: forget about ball for a while, and you know, and
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: then right around you know, combine. Okay, I think about it,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: but then drafts starts coming up and I start looking
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: in and I'm looking at videos. And then this year
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: all we got the new stadium videos and is Josh
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Allen having his kid?
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Yet?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: You know, all this shit rolling around, and you get
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: back into like, Okay, I can't wait, and you're counting
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: down the days till the schedule comes out, and then
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you're counting down the days till training camp, and then
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: in training camp you're reading the practice notes every day
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: and it just it just seems like I'm two months
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: behind on all this, Like I am not, Like, yes,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I miss I miss ball, I miss I can't wait
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: till we're in that opener in that new stadium in seventeen,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: rolls out on the field and we're back, of course,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: but I haven't thought about it a quarter of as
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: much because of the Sabers success. Like I never like
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: was watching. Yeah, you'd follow, you'd follow the Sabers games.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: You look at them, you know, you check them on
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: your phone afterwards to see if they want or lost.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: You kind of follow their record, but you weren't like
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I'm watching every single game like I'm it's musty TV.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: They they fight, they scored a ton of goals, they're
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: they're quick there, they got some sas to them. They're
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: when they're home, the roof is coming off the place,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: like it's completely it's musty TV. And it's and it's
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: really kind of bogged up the football off season, which
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I love. Like, if this was it ship, if they
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: make a run, you know, they could run all the
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: way out into the June up. Yeah, and then we
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: literally only have we literally only have you know, a
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks until actual training camp starts, so they
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: could literally take us right in, you know, to the
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: show and when that was something right, But uh, it's awesome.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: It's good for the city, Rob, I'm you know, obviously,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I tell you how much I love Sunday mornings and
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: game days and coming out on the porch and taking
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: that air and just seeing all the flags out and
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: going to Wegmans and seeing everybody in their bill stuff.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: The same for the Sabers right now, man, it is
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: like people have always said, oh, it's a hockey city,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: it's a hockey city. Like I don't if I'm all
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: in on that. I don't off of all that on
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: that because of the bills on the bowl, it's it's
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: gonna be a whole different right, but.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Debate, but but it is.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: You know, they the fans show out and there's loyal
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: people that have been there each year just liking the
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: bills and Mafia droughts just like the same deal. They've
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: been there through the drought and then they've been there
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: and they talked ship. Of course, everybody wasn't positive through
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: the fourteen years. Why would you be? And and now
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: they've paid their price and then and they're gonna get
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: to see the benefit from it. And you know, I'm
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: obviously Sabers fan as well. I'm not die hard. I
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: came into it late. I didn't live, you know, as
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: much as the Bills were my whole life, the Savers
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: were a little you know, we're a little later and
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: then and then they weren't good when it came time
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: for me to like kind of be on my own
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: and look around, and they weren't good. So it was
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: never a thing when I moved to Buffalo seven years ago.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: I got season tickets and it was fun. It's fun
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: going to the arena, you know all that. It's fun going.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: But then when they stink, it just turned into a hassle.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Forty games is a lot, and you know, there's a
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: lot of involved and it's just whatever. And then last
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: year you couldn't give tickets away. You know, Zach, my
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: old roommate, Zach was literally working for the Sabers and
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: text me all the time, like on a Tuesday night, Hey,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I got four club level tickets on the aisle. Yeah, food, food,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and drink included. I'd be like yeah. And now it's like,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's similar to a Bill's game atmosphere
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: when you walk in there in the crowd and it's
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot more condensed. You know, I started,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: really I've been blessed to go to a decent amount
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: of games since this run kind of started. And you
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: know the difference of me sitting in my season ticket
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: where there were there was forty five people in the
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: stands to you know, it cramped in there and it's
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: rolling and it's loud, and you know, the crowd's into it.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: The whole game, and it's awesome. It's an awesome place
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: to be. That arena is gonna be tough place to
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: win if your Boston coming in this week. I'll tell
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: you that because it's not it. These people are hungry, man,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: These people are hungry and they're loud, and they're they love.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: They love, Like there's a lot of Buffalo people that
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: love just joining as well, right like happened with the
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia. And I was never somebody be like, oh,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: you're a Bandwagon fan, not you want to join join
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: like this with us.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: So I don't.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you're Bandwagon or not. The whole
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: city is coming together. The one kalm I do have
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: rob the party in the plaza, Party in the plaza.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: They switched it to the canals. They're moving it down
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: to canal side. It's probably about two miles away, not
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: on the water by itself, and like a fit more people.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I get it, But like that was the whole point.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Like they show the you know, you show the drone
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: shot outside the arena, Like you got two thousand people
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: out there, you know, on Sunday that have been drinking
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: since nine am, and you know, and they're gonna be
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: out and they will be they'll be out on the
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: water too, But I don't know, I just.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Want to didn't exist the last time that we were
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: just talking about a chill like when they when they
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: played the Flyers, you know they the canal side wasn't
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: even around. So I just don't be an old man
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: get off by lawn guy fit.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: That's a problem.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna have food trucks, ship like that.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: They're gonna have probably a huge projector if not more
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: than that on that little stage that they've got there.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: So I'm dout. Listen.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: We gotta progress, man, We're moving into a new Buffalo.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: We got to progress and and and kind of embrace that.

  Speaker 3: They can have two parties if they want to have
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: two parties, but let more people enjoy it. You know, Yes,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: you're absolutely right. The you know, the party in the
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: square like that, that ship was iconic. I remember, you know,
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: those types of events and stuff like that, and seeing it.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: I was obviously down here in Charlotte still, but I
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: remember seeing it on the TV, and you're absolutely right.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: It's the same.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: You know, they do that around the NHL, most of them,
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: you know, most of the teams will have something, you know, similar,
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: but the canal side is a nice man d if.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Water food trucks cool. Let everybody stretch their legs out, man,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: it'll be fun.
• 44:41

• 44:51
  Speaker 2: That they're amped up. I'm amped up for them, like
• 44:54

• 44:56
  Speaker 3: That's what I mean when I say one buffalo and

  Speaker 3: before in that arena, and it's all good.

• 46:09
  Speaker 3: is a long that's a long time, man, to wait
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: for anything.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I'm understanding hockey a lot more too. You know, I
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: never played, and obviously I've watched the Sabers and went
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: to a bunch of games growing up. But now like
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I'm actually like, you know, watching these games and like
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: kind of understanding it. Oh, okay, that play, that's why
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: they went there, and that's the kind of the motion
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: they were in, and like, oh, that's how he got
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: wide open in the front because he did like the
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: give and go and like things like that. So it's
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: making a lot more fun in that regard to where
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of understanding a lot more and seeing like
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: plays develop a little more, you know, so I can
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: kind of anticipate, like, oh, he's he's crashing in that there,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: got to get him the puck, and like they get
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: some of the puck and they score and it's it's
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: it's amazing. So yeah, it's it's exhilarating. I like, you know,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I haven't ever watched games like this where I'm like
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: watching routinely. It's like it's a nice like you watch
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: the period, you get a little break, you know, goun
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: on the porch a little bit. You're back in boom,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: second period, another little break and then boom. Then it
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: really kind of goes nice. So I'm all for it.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: The city's buzzing. Uh, people are a little some disappointed that,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: you know, Sunday we didn't get that matinee slot, but
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll take the seven thirty, and it's you know,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just perfect the Buffalo, Like what this

• 47:45
  Speaker 1: but it won't be at home. It'll be Game four
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: will be two o'clock next Sunday in Boston. Wow.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, so.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: They're guaranteed at least that they're guaranteed at least till
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: next Sunday. If they get swept, they lose next Sunday.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: But if not, they're playing through from everything I hear.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: This team is too good to let Boston.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I know how you know, I know hockey,
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: but just because of where I grew up and you
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like I grew up out in
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: the burbs and you know that, so I grew up
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: with the stick, so hockey.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I'm one of the only black kids.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: In the neighborhood period, I was one of these black
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: kids in the whole fucking school district to be on
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: the start point. And and they hockey was a big deal.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: So the kids played hockey. So I got roller skates
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: and I played hockey with my friends, so that, you know,
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: so I know hockey. And from what everything that I'm
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: hearing about Boston is that they're you know, they're they're
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: a heavy team.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: They like to check, but they're slow as fuck. Uh.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: They've got a great goalie, but they can't really run
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: with the Sabers.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: And I love the the fact that a lot of
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: people think the Savers are just this running gun team
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: they just you know, up and down the ice that.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: But they played defense too. Man.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: They got a good goalie with NBL and they played defense.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: So I love that river hockey thing. Kind of took
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: the cold and everyone. Yeah, we'll see.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm excited. I think I wanted to go past
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: one round. I don't.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, waited this long. You should get a chance to
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: go to a couple of rounds. And I hope the
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: fans get that for sure.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: And and I'm kind of, you know, on like that.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I'm finding myself defend them a little bit like I
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: do with the Bills, and you know, because there's a
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: lot of negativity right about because all these scars from
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: this drought and there, and the Buffalo's cursed and we're
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: never gonna win anything, and and yeah they're they're good now,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna blow it. And then you know, then
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: they won like that. They won like thirty games in
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: that in that stretch. They went on that huge stretch,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: and then they had that little downfall a couple of
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. They lost like four or five, and people
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: were already back in like, oh yep, sea typical, they're
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: back to real life now. And it was like they're
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: they were playing a lot of games in a row,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: and every team they were playing in that stretch was
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: literally fighting for their playoff life. Like if they lost,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: they were out type ship like it is what it is,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: and then they came back and finished strong, and the
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: one that like secured the division and in a place
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: where Tampa Bay you would have never thought that was possible.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: And the Canadians, who literally also went on a crazy run,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: you know, like sabers were winning every game and they
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: were barely making any move in the standings because Montreal
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: and Tampa also won every night. Yeah, but this team,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: what I've noticed, and again I'm not a hockey you know,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: condoscen or anything, but what I've noticed about is the
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: well roundedness of it. Like you said, the offensive defense,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: a good goaltending. But they got like eight guys with
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: twenty goals, like.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that. I got like a bunch of
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: over double digits. I know that.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got you got Tage Thompson, who who's
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: got a forty and forty season and obviously our best
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: player and killer in all regards. He's not even he's
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: a top he's not even top twenty five in points
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: in the NHL. Yeah, you know, and so with eighty points,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: forty goals and forty assists and he's not even in
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: the top twenty five and then that shows like how
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: how much else this team did, Like Tage Thompson's great,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: but you know, we don't need two hundred, we don't
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: need one hundred and ten points from him. You've got
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys that can that can give you,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: you know, fifty sixty points and that's what you get.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's been fun watching the buzz is real.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: The buzz is very sim or to the to the
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: you know, to obviously the the Bills buzz when that's around.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: But it's gonna be interesting. I can't wait for Sunday.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Around Like you're driving around your everybody everybody's cat Big
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Time Tops. Changed the tops to a Sabers you.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Know our you know our our sponsor Queens Queen City
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Vintage obviously rolling out all the all the Sabers and
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Sabers Venture stuff is is cool. I think Sabers Venture
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: stuff might be cooler than Bill's Benches stuff. It's the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: black and red, yeah, the goaheads obviously and then even
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: deeper like the now the blue, but like the Vintage blue,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: like that's just a clean look. I don't know, I
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: like that so good vibe in the city. Can't wait
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: the buzz is real. Now, like all the there's sometimes
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: a bitch to watch, but now all this whole playoff
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: is gonna be on you know, uh, network TV, right,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: so you're gonna have ESPN, your t n T is,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: your NBC's. You're gonna be able to watch every game
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: and not have to like you know, find.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Here because I don't have that MSG. I can't. I
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: was like, man, I don't have that, so I will.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I would rip ESPN and it's on for you.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, and it goes on. Like another thing
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: cool about this is it's extended.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not just someday and yeah, you.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Know, at the very worst, you get them for a
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: whole other week and you're gonna be you're gonna be
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: locking in for four playoff games that you haven't seen
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: in fifteen years. Right, So it's a cool vibe. The
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: buzz is real, and I think the team is about it.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're like just happy to be there.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I think they they're good. Yeah, I think they legit
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: think they're good. And they they've proved that you know,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: you can't push them around and that they are gonna
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: fight with you and they are going to score with you,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: and they are gonna do everything they need to do
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: and hopefully playoffs are a whole different animal and they
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: don't have that experience that some of these other teams do,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: but hey, that freshness might be enough to to droll
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: them through and almost that naive and you know it
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: might work in a good way. They might not feel
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: we'll try sure and clam up right. They just go
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: out there and play freely. So excited to see what
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: And it's Boston.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: I know that you don't go back to the Saber,
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: but the Savers have a long history with Boston and
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: they've beaten us in the playoffs and shit like that,
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: so you know there's gonna be no shortage of Sabers
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: fans getting amped up for this one. And I expect
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: Key Bank to be the roof to shake on on
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: Sunday night. So it'll be really fun. I really enjoy
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: it now again, DT and I will be back next week.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: You know, Listen, we're easing into these things. It's the
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: season sixth premiere. But we're easy to this thing, you know, DT.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: And how we do it.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: We get ramped up when training camp comes and stuff
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: like that, so we'll check in with you this next
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: week for the draft to see who we picked first
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: in the first round, and then what's gonna happen in
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: rounds two and three the next day and all the
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: way through the draft. So we'll be back here t
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: g IF next week and then the week after we'll
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: recap the draft, and obviously the Sabers hopefully will still
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: be going stuff like that. But then well then we'll
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: kick back again because there's nothing really going on, and
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: we'll be back at you guys ready to go for
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: training camp.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: But really, DT, I am so excited about season six again.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Shout out to my man tow for that open open,
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: Like you already know, DT, how long I've been talking
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: about that ship. When he was touched doing the final touches,
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: I was like this, I'm like, you're a wizard. Anybody
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: that can do that stuff on those computers and editing
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: like I don't. That's that's Greek to me. So so
• 54:16

• 54:22
  Speaker 3: I'm excited about season six. I'm excited about our partnership
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: with Queen City Vintage again. We've got some great stuff
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: coming up. I've got cards. My boy shout out to
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: my boy Justice Cis Drunk. He sent me DT this
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: let me this. I know it's gonna be hard to see,

  Speaker 3: but he sent me a dope ass, Andre Reid, and
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: I am gonna auction this off this year.

• 54:53
  Speaker 2: This year, we're gonna do lives.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: I know I say that, you know, last couple of years,
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: but we're doing lives like now that we've got to
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: be set up, we're ready to go.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: We're doing lives from ols. So listen, DT. I'm excited
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: about season six, man, I really am. And it's funny.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: I know you always say super Bowl year, you know,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: one of these.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: Years, the Savers are like a prime example, like one
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: of the years we gotta be fucking right, Like we
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: gotta be right one of these years.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Nobody expected the Sabers to win the division. This year.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: Nobody expected.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: And I think that that might be when it comes
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: for the bills, you know, and I know not that
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: we need to be the underdog, because you know, I
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: always pushed back on that.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: I don't I like pressure. Pressure is fine. I'm cool
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: But man, maybe maybe some shine is shining off the
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: bills and maybe some people are paying a little bit
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: less attention. Fine, no problem, man, I'm ready to go
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: get one ap Why not this year?
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: DT? Why why not? Why not? Yeah? No, why not?
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Is correct defense?
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: And go get this bitch, like, go get it done.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah no, I'm not discouraged by any means. We were,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: you know, if anything, we were a little more crumbled
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: last year than we had been in previous years, and
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: when push cames to shove, we were right there in
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: it and had a chance to you know, we win
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Denver game. You never know what roles with what the
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: playoffs had left in it, and it's right there for us,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: it's right there. Nothing has happened to get me thinking
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: that we're not gonna be exactly, you know, in contention
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: as we were at seventeen. Obviously is a lot of that.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: We gave him a weapon he never had last year
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: into and you know, obviously see what what happens in
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the draft. I think we're doing the draft to get
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: some sort of juice, right, We're doing the draft to
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: get some diamond in the rough that's going to be
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: a killer for us. So that's a little six twenty seven.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Open up that new stadium, drop the banter in it.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean the stadium and all that stuff.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that in the off season.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: Have an episode dedicated to that, because it's been just
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: a marvel to watch that transformation. And I know that
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: people in Buffalo. I've seen it go up in Orchard
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: Park that that's it's It's just I'm in awe. And
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: the grass looks so luscious. I'm like, man, you could
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: eat off of that, like you can put a prime
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: stake right on the grass and just eat right off
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: of it. It's it's amazing. So I can't wait for
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: all that. But well, we'll get to that down the
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: road in the summer. DT for season six. Welcome back, man.
