  Speaker 3: Listen, It's funny because the draft is coming up right
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: around the corner.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: So now we got our shout outs out of the way.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Season five is under the way for a Nickel City crew,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and you know, the draft is so close that I
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: was like, well, it's time for us to get back, DT,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: it's time for us to get back. And I know
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I called you a couple of weeks ago. I wanted
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: to just kind of go through it, just kick back
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: a nice little chill episode. We don't have to do
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: a long one tonight and just kind of go through
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: a Brandon Bean is done. Obviously, Season four ended for
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: a Nickel City crew with you know, just the way
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that it was.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I listened to them so the other day DT and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Little Brother and it was like, man, that same familiar feeling.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: But it's something about the new season DT that always
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: just brings back a little bit of just renewal, a
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: little bit of juice to start flowing and you get
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: that optimism again.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Man. It's it's hard to do it. It's hard to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: ignore it, man.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they we go through the way the
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: season ended to you know it was football. I was
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: good to chill on football for a little bit, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I had to watch the Super Bowl. A lot of
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: people are saying they were boycotting it or whatever. The
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: days you got to watch the ball Kendrick, see the
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: commercials from and we.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Got to see the Chiefs get their ass kicks. So
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we'll take that. But then after that, I was I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: was very cool to just kind of chill with ball
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: for a while.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: But it doesn't take long that free agency. It's the
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: NFL knows what they're doing. Rob they know what they're doing.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: The entertainment business the best in the world.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: They know how they know how to get you hooked.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: They know not to give you too much and just
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: give you a little bit when you're when you're craving them,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: and they do. I found myself watching that bullshit UFL
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: last week.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Just to see some pads clank.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: You know, they get going. But it'll be here before
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: we know it. Training camp will start rattling off, will
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: start counting down the weeks. We'll do our the schedule
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: be out a few weeks after after the draft, and
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: you know it'll it'll be week one when we'll be
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: out at the at the Club dub we're calling it
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: now at the at the tailgate club Crew, and they
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: get after it for another season and another another journey,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the last one in the route.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm pumped up.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Uh, we got to contain it because we still got
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: a hell of a long way. But then if I
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: knows what they're doing, I had just enough break. Now
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I'm ready to get hyped. Get back in it. Nickel
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: City Crew, We're ready for you, baby.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Yeah, I'm really excited as well. DT. You
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: absolutely right.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: And it's funny because when you look at it and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: you kind of look, this is the other part of
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the job, the team building. And it's funny because when
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I was growing up, I used to love that kind
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of part, you know, throwing NBA Live that's you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: that's the equivalent to NBA two K for you young
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: is out there. NBA Live was the video game, was
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the premiere one, and then you'd go and I'd build
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: in my rosters and making sure all my teams were straightened,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: different things like that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Then you had the college football and stuff like that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: So I have a definite appreciation for Brandon, meaning his
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: job and what he has to do and respects to
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: team building, and it can be harder in some cases
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: than other years.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: But DT, there's not too much there's not too many
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: holes to fill it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I know that we'll do our draft preview episode next week,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: but there's not a lot of issues and areas to address.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: One of the things that we definitely want to see,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: and we know that we talked about it at the
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: end of season four was that we need some more
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: blue chip talent. So I don't know really what Brandon
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: is going to do to address that. The draft is
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: sometimes harder when you're drafting as low as the Bills are,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: but we'll talk about that more next week.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about some of the.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Things that Brandon has done this year DT, and just
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: go through it real quick and kind of comb through it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: They start off free agency, the Bills do DT, Nicol
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: City Crew, Bill's Mafia signing Joshua Palmer josh Palmer from
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the LA Chargers, and.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I watched some of his tape DT.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah five, look at that season five, Look at that
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: everything works together. I've watched some of his tape DT,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: and this is a Canadian kid, I guess right over
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the border, and you know, I don't know.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Some people were kind of down on him and not.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't think that he's getting
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: ready to come in and be a young Amari Cooper
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: or anything like that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But I like the signing.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I thought that this was a guy that was a
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: little bit underutilized obviously with Harbaugh coming in last year
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: to the Chargers. He's a run heavy guy, just like
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: he was at Michigan and San Francisco. I like the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: kid man like, I don't have any problem with it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I don't have any problem with it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know what they kind of thought about
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: thirteen and Matt Collins and if they thought.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: You know, he was kind of thought. I think they thought.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Trying to get him back. I don't know if you
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: know this situation. I don't know if this had anything
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: to do with that future thought. But yeah, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: it's not a bad signing at all. I'm not knocking like, yeah,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: you know, Justinerent or something like that. But we're gonna
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: be We're gonna be glass half full and a guy
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: with a kind of a chains of scenery what I like.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: It's a multi year deal, you know, being being usually
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: a one year deal. If it's kind of wishy washy
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: and whatnot. He goes multiple year deal on this Now
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Devil's advocate will argue Curtis Samuel last year on a
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: multiple year deal, But we'll get there. I think this
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: offseason of I'm not writing off one yet in Curtis Samuel.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I think the injuries and stuff had a lot to
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: do with it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: In the NFL.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: The NFL isn't a isn't a game, you know, it's
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: so talented nowadays, it's not a game where you can
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: just roll up and jump in. You need weeks and
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: weeks of practice.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You need.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: We've seen all pros and all stars not being a
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: familiar situation, not be able to get on the field.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: So it takes a long time to get acclimated. So
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I'm still I'm not writing off Curtis Samuel, but this
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: is a kind of similar vibe. He's a similar not
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: a similar player, but a similar in the hierarchy of
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: wide receivers.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I think coming over as some.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Potential have a lot of craziness, but the floor is
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: also not very low either, you know, so it's a
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: safe signing. I think, you know his what do they
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: say he's he gets open. Right, he gets separation. And
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: what if we here all last year, Rob, we'd have
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: no separation. We got no separation, So all right, now
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: we got a little separation. We'll see what happens. Seventeen's
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: gonna find you if he wants to. He just got
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: to catch the ball. And you know, I think i'd
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: like he's no little boy, he's a he's he's got
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: some got some meat on him. He can get up
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: and go a little bit. Get that separation going. Not
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: moving the needle one hundred percent for me. But I
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: definitely don't have any issues with the signing and Brandon
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Bean putting a multi year deal on it means he
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: sees some sort of framework and some sort of this
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: dude isn't coming here to sit the bench. He's coming
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: here to get minutes and you know, and be fill
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: that void of eighteen and thirteen. I still think we
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: still need to get another wide receiver, and we'll get
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: into that obviously through the draft and offseason whatever. But
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: he fills whatever role that was. I think, younger, clean,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: and a lot of potential.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Coming out of it. Yeah, I agree with you. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: liked his tape.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I like some of the stuff that I saw from
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: him and exactly what you were talking about going up
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and to getting the ball contested catches creating separation.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: He was definitely heralded for that, So I do like it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: It's funny because DT when you know when the next
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: signings were happening, and I'm going in chronological order. It
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: was funny because you know, Michael Hoyt gets signed by
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: the Bills to another three year deal by Bean and
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: then I put it in the notes. I was like, well,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: it's Maguire and Sosa after we find out the issue
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: with Ogunjobi. It's funny because listen, listen, here's what I'll
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: say about it. And it's funny because it for Bill's
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: mafia that doesn't know. I don't know if if you're
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: living under a rock or not, but even if you
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: haven't been paying too much of attention to the offseason,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the Bills signed Michael Hoyt. He was a defensive end linebacker,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: a little like a harbrid guy from the where.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Was he from? He played for the Rams.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: He's playing for the Rams and and he's got a
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: lot of positional versatility. And then a couple of days
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: later they signed Larry Ogajobe and then we find out
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: at the signing day that you know, Larry had had
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: a little bit of an issue. And it is funny
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: because Brandon Bean is a smooth mother. I mean, he
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: is a smooth criminal, and he kind of slips it
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: in there and he's like, oh, why we're talking about
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: these guys?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Uh, real quick, They're.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Gonna be suspended for the first six games, and you know,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: everybody's like, you know, what the heck is a Friday,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and everybody was joking that it was a media dump
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: and he was trying to sneak it through.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: But they will be suspended for peds.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: It's funny because I think that Larry Ogunjobe is a
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: it's a it's a state of how the.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Bills really run their program.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: And I think that that kind of states and it
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: shows how far we have come from the drought.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Bills.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: They're a well run organization, are highly respected and I
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: think that you know, Ogajobe's representatives just worked out a
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: deal and then we're upfront about it after they got
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: ready to go ahead and sign the paper and agree
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: to the framework.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: And by that time, Brandon doesn't want to look like
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: an ass.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: He doesn't want to look like a bad guy by
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: just saying, Okay, well we're just gonna cut up the contract.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: And he kind of just fulfills his promise because this guy,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: as he stated, had never been in any trouble before.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: And Nokajobi's down here in Charlotte where I'm where I'm
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: living DT. He played at the University of Charlotte. So listen,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I think that it just it actually speaks positive for
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the Bills that he didn't Brandon Bean, didn't huff him puff,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: he didn't make the Bills look bad or anything like that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: They had agreed to something and then he follows through
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: on it, you know, after you know, the guy was upfront.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: So hey, the bashed brothers ay, you know, you gotta
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: you gotta deal with it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Well, and it was like fifty to fifty, right they
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Hoyt seemed a little more like.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: We told them. Toy told them ahead of time. Then
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: then Larry told them, you know, after he was coming
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: in the.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Summer and both you know, just just fillers.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: We if there's holes on this roster, it is defensive line, obviously,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: defensive backfield, whatever, but you know, we gotta we gotta
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: start filling them. We had some people out. We got
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: to fill those roles. And who knows, there's the rotational
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: based on this defensive line.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: We need bodies.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I like the opportunity for both these guys coming in.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I mean Hoyt coming in literally has played defensive end,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: defensive tackle, linebacker, slock corners.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was weird. I saw a couple of highlights. Yeah,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: it's great.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: He's been on game day rosters at two hundred and
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: thirty pounds and he has been on game day rosters
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: at three hundred and ten pounds. Yes, that is like, man,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: I need to get I need to get down to
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: the plane. The ind of the two is to the
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: playing way and then back up, back up to my
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: defensive tackle, wait for the.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Winner to hibernate.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: But that's you know that, So that the versatility, and
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: that's kind of what the Bills liked, you know, kind
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: of all over the field. And we see guys like
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Greg Russou going and playing the interior sometimes of that
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: defensive line, and I think that's what this white guy's
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: going to be about. Okay, oh why okay, job job.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: It just takes that that Rick Ross on box Chevy I'm.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I'm made millions with that show. So he's he's a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: big boy.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Put some good minutes in for the Steelers, you know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: just just bil guys. I would love for them not
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: to be suspended for six games, you know, because this
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: is what I'm nervous about, is what how does train.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Camp and stuff look for this type of situation.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: You know, they goes, they're allowed to practice, but that's
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: you know, that's.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: So this isn't going to be a defense where there's
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: some core guys that are going to be the starters,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: but there's gonna be a lot of competition. And we
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: talked about it a little last year on competition and
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: kind to roll the ball out. The dogs will stand up,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: the dogs will make this team. The dogs will play.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And you go into, uh, you know, a training camp
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and these guys come in and what if they they're
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: good and they start fitting in and they start producing,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and then you kind of got to pull them off
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: for the first six weeks. And that's what I'm a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: little afraid of, you know, that that kind of ramp
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: up and then it's like, damn, it was a good signing.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: These dudes are legit and then they can't play right,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: So then that's a little concerning to see. But we
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: need the bodies, we need, we need the numbers, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: they're still appealing, right, So this isn't confirmed that they're
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: they're missing out on six.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I know Ogunjobi is not appealing, and I'm
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: not sure about Hoyt. I think Hoyt is also not
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: appealing because I think that he was under the impression
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: that he was just taking responsibility what he did.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: And I mean all these like these guys are on
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: like they're not all on steroids. I'm not saying that
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: they're they're on.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Every every one of these players, you know, from a
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: supplement to the punter, is on some sort of supplement.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: They have to be their world cast athletes. They have
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: to be in the best shape possible, and sometimes it
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: gets a little sketch and these things happen, and the
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: NFL is obviously very strict, and I don't think they
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: were openly saying, oh, I'm doing this just to you know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: get big and I won't get in trouble. It just
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: was a thing of the thing, just like the what's
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: an a rod with a guerrera? You know their bodies.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I like the potential on them, but it's I just
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: I'm a little nervous about them ramping up and getting
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: acclimated with this team and then being a good fit
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, we don't see them
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: until Thanksgiving, you know.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it's interesting.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: You're absolute right, that's a that's a point that I
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: hadn't really thought about it obviously, Yes, if it geils
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: and it looks great, and then you got to come
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: up with the plan B. So it'll be on incumbent
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: On McDermott and Bobby Babbage to figure that out and
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: make sure that they sprinkle in, whether it be those
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: draft picks or Javon Solomon, all those other guys, make
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: sure that they're getting those guys their reps as well,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: because you know, at the beginning of the season you
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: won't have those guys now going again in chronological order.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: It's funny because you know, we're gonna get ready to
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: talk about a particular running back that I know everybody
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: is hot on, and we got a topic to fill
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: with him. But his backup, one of his backups, Ti Johnson,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: was signed to a two year deal. I like Tdy
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Johnson a lot. I've been singing his praises for the
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: last few years. I like his versatility and respects and
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: how he can catch the ball. I like how he
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: can spell Cook and how he can He's definitely different
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: than Ray Davis as well.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And obviously he had that highlight last year with that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Touchdown in the back of the end zone sliding around
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: and catching the ball, So he's got some great receiving skills.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I like Ty Johnson personally.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I think that he is a good fit and I
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: was happy that the Bills brought him back DT because
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I think that and we'll get to it in a
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: minute for James Cook, but I think that he fits
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: in the room in respects to the way that he's
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: just different. He's different than Cook, He's not Cook, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: he's definitely different than Ray Davis. I like the what
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: he brings to the team.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the touchdowns and the catches were what everyone sees
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: and what everyone notices. But right the biggest, the biggest point,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I thought he was a non negotiable to bring back.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: I thought we needed him back no matter what. Okay's
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: that pass blocking Techniquely, we talk about it all the time. Yeah,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: number one priority protect the goods, and the goods is
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: number seventeen and that is a serious situation in the NFL.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: You need a running back that can can lay a
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: block and hold it. And Josh doesn't need much. Josh,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: he's a little just needs to slow that guy down
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: a little bit and Ty Johnson does more than that.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And so that's what I've really wanted him back for. Yes,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: the touchdowns, his catches are great. You know, pressure is
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: a privilege, and he gets the privilege of pressure because
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: he's earned it and Josh likes him and throws to him.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: But where he really earns his money and why I
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: think he was a non negotiable to come back this
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: year was that pass blocking and I think that's huge.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: You gotta keep seventeen upright, especially as he gets older.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: He's gonna start getting you know, everything is going to
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: be a little.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Less as years ago, as years ago, and you got
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to you gotta keep him up right and protect him.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: So good signing there. I hope he still catches a
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: bunch of touchdowns. He's a nice little anytime touchdown beat
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: because he's always great, great odds every Sunday and kind
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: of sprinkle it in and he's electric. You know, he
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: gets the people going and with his with his with
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: his touchdowns, and but he does his job and he
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: goes in and any blocks or seventeen when he has to.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: And I thought it was a non negotiable to bring
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: him back. I didn't even really think of a time
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: where we wouldn't bring him back. I thought it was
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: a brainer. Uh, you know, twenty six.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Back on the squad.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it, you know, I I do like him.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I've been singing his praises for the
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: last few years. So I'm in agreement with you on
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: everything that you said. Now, the splashiest chronological order, the splashiest,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: the biggest name that we pulled in. It's interesting because
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know necessarily, you know. I heard some people
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: talk about this player and you know, and the risk
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: involved and things like that, and I was on Twitter.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I was like, listen, then the money that he gave
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Joey Bosa, I'm like, listen, there's no real risk, Like
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: he's not. If he wasn't as hurt as he always is,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: he would have commanded way more than the twelve million
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: that they're giving him. So because of that the Bills
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: have already built in and already baked in that kind
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: of that mitigated risk.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: They know that this guy is not always healthy. They
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: understand that.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: But the biggest fish that the Bills have brought in
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: in respects to name recognition is the former All Pro
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Joey Bosa were released by the Chargers, a longtime Charger lifer,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: obviously the older brother of Nick Bosa out there in
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: San Francisco.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: And one thing I can say about him is that
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the dude is a baller. When he went right, he's
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: a baller.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: He's one of the best pass rushers of the league,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: including with his brother, including Watt, including Miles Garrett. Now
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: he's getting a little bit longer in the tooth. I'm
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: not exactly sure why the Chargers dropped him. I know
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: this had to be, you know, financially motivated as well.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: But at twenty nine years old, if you can find
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: a way to get this guy ready to go for November,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: December and January, I see no really risk with this
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: whole move.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: DT.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Where's your thought on Joey Bosa, because I know a
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: lot of people on Twitter went back and forth and
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: these guys always injured, and you know, congratulations signing a
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: guy who's going to play seven games and different things
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I looked up, you know, the statsu hereed on WGR.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: His past was written win rate excuse me, was like
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: seventh among defensive ends last year when he was playing,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: he had a pretty productive season last year. I look
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: at him as an upgrade over what Von was. Vin
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: was a shell of himself. We have to be honest
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: with ourselves about that. Once that injury happened with the
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: ACL It's unfortunate, but he was never the same player again.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: He was on track.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: It was looking like a great investment for Brandon Bean
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: that first season. Then he goes down to Detroit on
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving and that was really the end of Vin. This
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: is to me, this is an upgrade over Von Miller,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: and I just don't see too much downside. Yes, obviously
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: we'll be pissed off if he misses five games, but
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: as long as he's ready for like November deceverage Anuary,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I really I really could care less. I want him
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: harassing the quarterbacks late in the Season's that's really what
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: you sign him for.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Well, it's part of the script. It's the same thing
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: as von Miller.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: We bring in a season finisher, right the season finisher,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: and I think we were in on Miles Garrett. I
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: think we were in on you know, some other guys.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: I believe that fully. I think I think the proof
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: was in the pudding last year. Seventeen can get it done.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: The offensive line looks good, everything, everything's doable. If we
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: have a dominant pass rusher, it you might you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Lombardi is a lot more probable, and they was part
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: of that. That's why they did it with von Miller
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: two years ago. And this, you know, this is the
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: same exact reasoning they're doing it with Bosa here.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Bosa, like you said, he was healthy, Khalil Mack and
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: older Khalil Mack got got.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Twenty million dollars a year and stayed with the Chargers.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: So I think the Chargers let him go. We're like, okay,
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: we we're not paying.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: We're not paying two thirty plus year old pass rushers,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: you know, multiple millions of dollars.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I get that.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: So we take advantage.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: We move in and get them a big, dominant player
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: when he is good and in his injuries. I again,
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: this is very biased and half full and very homer
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: of me to say, but going through is injuries. There's
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: nothing structural, there's nothing acl there's nothing, you know, it's all.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: It's all bone, bruises and foot.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: And footstocking football.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: He's getting banged up, right, And granted that deck gets
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: worse as you get oiler soft tissue is tough, and
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: we see it all the time. But we didn't it's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: one year deal. We didn't spend that much on him
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: for for that type of caliber player. For you know
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: that that money is very doable, and he's still in
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a position where he's young enough he can go out
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and get that get that bag again. He can get
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: another two to three year contract at twenty to twenty
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: five million dollars a year, and that's that's one hundred
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: percent right this year on the prove it deal. If
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: he sucks, we say see you. If he's great, he's
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: gonna go.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: He he knows all he has to do is get
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: ten sacks this year and he's gonna get twenty twenty
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: five million for the next two years. So this is
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: the rest of his life right now. We're just trying
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: to fill that piece to an the Lombardi. This is
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: the rest of his life and his legacy. He's made
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: a lot of money, but this can really put the
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: cherry on top and give him that second bag, you
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: know that for the next couple of years to kind
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: of end his career. So I like the strategic strategy
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: of this move to really pump this up. And hey,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: if you stink it's it's really no skin off our back.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: And if we're good, it only helps you and helps us.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: So all around good signing. He's a he's a dog,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: he's a beast. I mean, he's got to stay on
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: the field. I love that family, Nick Posa, Joey Boza,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: like talk about like the jeans, Like holy shit, right,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I would have maybe like to see some of the
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: like you see sweat out there was available. I mean,
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Hendrickston still available, things like that. I thought we'd be
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: a little more aggressive, but I think maybe we put
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: our eggs into Miles Garrett realized it wasn't possible, went
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: with the bargain, made it good for the team, and
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: there's no really no skin. If he stinks it's the same,
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: it's it's von Miller. The past two years of literally
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: doing nothing and we're still we're still in the ANC
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: championship with with a chance to do it. So a
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: good strategic move by being if it's he knows he's
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: got to come in and ball out. I think this
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: gives him a little sense of like, Okay, I'm coming
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: back to a situation.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Where we can do it. And I love that that
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: line of when.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Josh texted him and it's like, yo, like I don't
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: think you realize, like if we do this, like we'll
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: be mobilized, Like you.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Will forever be a mortal in this town. And that's
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: that's dead ass.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, Joey Bose is gonna it's gonna feel like
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: he's been here for forty years if he comes in
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: and rips off twelve sacks and win the Lombardy.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: This year, Joey Bose is a hero.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: So sign the next day.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Ohio State knows how to win. I think he's got
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: a natty out there. I think he was a team
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: with twelve and uh, you know big nets in the
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Bosa family, big nets.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I love it absolutely as him and his brother follow
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: after his father, who I think his dad was a
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: dolphin back in the day, So yeah, absolutely. As we
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: round out free agency, the Bills pick up Derrick Forrest.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: He's a he's a depth safety. He played for Washington
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: last year. Makes some big plays actually when he got
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: in the game. He doesn't play too too much, but
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: he has some starts. I think he had like seventeen
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: starts over four years. He's again, he's rotational and some depth.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Kendrick Green was a guard. We all know the Bills
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: offense line one of the best in the league. The
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: same five will be back for our beloved Buffalo Bills
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: next season. And then the final one was Dame Jackson
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: brought back. We'll talk about it more next week. I
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: think he was brought back as insurance based on what
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: goes on in this draft in a couple of weeks
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: and if shit kind of hits the fan and they
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: can't get the guy that they want at thirty or
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: they decided to go in a different direction. I think
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: that you know, Benford, excuse me, Dang Jackson's here to
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: kind of mitigate the rookie, whether he's a first rounder
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: or a second rounder. And we'll talk about that more
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: next week. I think that Dame Jackson is not your
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: cornerback too, so don't worry. Bill's Bobby he's I don't
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: think that this is their plan for Cornerback two. I
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: think they still want to go ahead and get a
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: young guy to come in there. But if things don't
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: go the way that they want them to go, on
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the board doesn't fall a certain way, Dame Jackson insurance.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: See they're familiar with him. Now as we transition from
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: friends from Free Agency, excuse me. Tonight's episode presented by
• 27:06

  Speaker 2: that you did. DT.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: We kind of alluded to it extensions galore. It's funny
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: because you know, Brandon Bean, what do they love to
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: tell you? They love to say that we love to.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Draft, develop and pay our own draft, develop, pay our own.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Well, he sure as hell did that, and four guys
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: get four Buffalo Bills get extensions this offseason. Khalishakir terrelll Bernard,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Greg Russo, and Christian Benford the other day, a couple
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: of weeks ago getting that life changing money, DT. Give
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: me your thoughts on it before we get ready to
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: talk about who was left out.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: You know, Khalil, I like him.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: You know, he's not spectacular to me, but but he
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: does his job and I think that he does his
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: job well. I think he's the perfect slots receiver for Josh.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I think he's actually like a souped up Cole Beasley
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: in my opinion. I like Benford. I think that I
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: don't think that he's you know, game he's not Patrick Willis,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: He's not you know what I mean, He's nothing.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: He's not He's not.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Game changing out there, but he does make big plays.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: I think you saw the other side of that coin
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: last year, DT. When you don't get the turnovers, what
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: kind of linebacker you have? But still a leader, a
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: guy One of the two captains named on the team
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: by their Peers last year along with Josh Allen. I
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: think that he's somebody that you wanted to keep in
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: the room for sure. He's earned his stripes, I think.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, one of the biggest players of the season
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: obviously against Baltimore Force and that fumble A great a
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: good player, good to great player, and that's somebody that
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I like.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Around Rousseau, I'm.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: A little bit more. I'm not on the Twitter space.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I'm you know, okay. I mean, I think he's good.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: He hasn't really shown me that he's great yet. He
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: started last year with his hair on fire and kind
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: of sizzled and fills it off by the end of
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: the year, so I wasn't really too impressed by the
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: time it came AFC Championship time DT and then Christian Benford,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: who doesn't love a story like him, I mean, worked
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: his ass off, beat out the number, the first round pick,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: starts out of training camp and then goes on and
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: has a couple of good seasons and last year was
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: his best season.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Then he gets rewarded.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: You know, who doesn't love an awesome story like that
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: young guy from Villanova from Philly.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I don't even know that they played football at Villanova
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: until I heard about him. So DT, give me your
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: thoughts on the four extensions before we head to the
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: one guy that was left out.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Well, it was opposite of last year. Right, last year
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: we got rid of everybody, and now, I mean this
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: was kind of necessity. You know, whether whether you love
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: these guys or not, we had to do this. You know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: you can't build a brand new team every year and
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: build up the all fifty three around around seventeen. Granted
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: we're blessed with the offensive line. We did a good
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: job of kind of paying them before they got good,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: so they're not going to kill it, yes, and we
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: can kind of keep them intact.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: But you can't just pay You can't just get a
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: new roster every year. So this is something that was necessary,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I think, And and credit to Vandon Be for having
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of years of those draft picks that were,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you know, startable players to go in and we got
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to have you know, the core, Like, none of these
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: guys are first team All pros. Hopefully one of.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Them becomes one sooner or later and gets you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: but we didn't overpay. I don't think for anybody. It
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: wasn't like ground shattering money. We moved around. For any
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: of these guys, it was fair all the way around,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: around average, a little above average, and that's what these
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: guys aren't. I have a little more pop on forty three.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: I think Bernardi is a playmaker.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Well, let's let's go in order. Who What are your
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: thoughts of Shakiir? What do you think about him? I
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: think I say.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Sometimes that was more of a he catches everything, you know,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: and it's a souped up cold Beasley's a good way
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: to put it.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: But that was a necessity. We have no receivers kind
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: of in that window of the next couple of years.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: It's just it's kind of filling it up. Who who
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: can we.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Bring in as a group and one here, one there. Yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: now we have Josh Palmer, but we have no idea
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: what he's going to be about. We got Curtis Samuel
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: who really did nothing and that's that's really it. So
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: we had we had to get somebody in here, you know,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: for for the future, yes, but in that necessity to
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: build around and he he's earned it.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I mean each year it's a perfect progression, like exactly
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: what you want to see as a player. In the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: third or what a fourth round, fourth.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: Round guy, Yeah, fourth round guy. You're not gonna expect
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: him to come in and be killer first year, and
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: he wasn't. He was opportunistic. He came in and did
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: this thing. The next year, get a few more catches,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: kind of came on the scene, and then this year
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: when we had to rely on him a little bit,
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: he came to play in the end of the year.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: He wasn't there as much. He wasn't there as much
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: as maybe I wanted to say. But but that's also
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: not one hundred on him either. If he's not getting
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: the ball thrown to him, you know what, that's that's that.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: But but I'd like to see him a little more,
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: you know when now he is our primo guy, So
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: I'd like to see him a little more down the
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: stretch and clutch situations. And that's the next step he
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: has to take, is that rise of you know, progression,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: And I think he's done a good job with that.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: He catches everything, well what else, you know, what else?
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: What else can he ask? He's slippery as hell, he
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: never goes down. He catches everything. I'd like to see
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: him a little later in the year but we needed
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: to do it on the other side of the ball.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Forty three makes plays every week he does. I'm a
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: believer of him staying on the field. He is a
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: core of that defense. He makes, he causes turnovers, he
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: lays hits, He's all over the field for kind of
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: being a little undersize. So I'd like forty three out
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: of all these signings for Bernard's my number one.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Like him on our defense. He's heart and soul of that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Rousseau kind of falls into the same category as Shakir
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: and like you had to, you know, like he needed
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: some defensive we had.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: We had to.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, who if we weren't gonna get sweat or
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: somebody like that.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, I guess. Yeah. I just so not.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I'm just not as in pressed.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: And then I don't think that it's a consensus across
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Bill's mafia that he's some generational guy or anything like that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: But I think that I think that the start of
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: the season last year got everybody all excited and like,
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, he's starting to come into his own.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: He's starting to be this guy. And you know, I
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: just I haven't really seen it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I mean by the by the end of the year,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: he really wasn't making he wasn't he was quiet as
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: a mouse side.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but maybe maybe right maybe we had to.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: And and Benford's in the in the same boat. I mean,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: we don't literally have another corner other than Taron Johnson,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: who but old, you know, and it doesn't look like
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: we're bringing a school back. So Dame Jackson, we had
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: to get Christian Bedford. And it's smart because if he
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: does go and and ball out this year, he is
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: gonna get high cornerback one premium. He's gonna get one
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: hundred milion.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: It's a bargain. It's a bargain right now, were.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Years one hundred mili and we saw who who got
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: JC Horn down here in Charlotte with the Panthers got
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: like one hundred million.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: It's Kristan Benzer just as good as him, and he
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: got that primo. So if he goes out and has
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: another solid year, we're gonna need to pay him one
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: hundred and twenty million dollars, right, So got in I
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: think at the right time with him, and we needed
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: to Brousseau. I'd like to see he's the biggest athletic specimen,
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: the first round pick. No, we need we need him
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: to start producing and be that guy and be the
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Ying and Yang too.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: You know we we can't. We're not getting fifteen sacks
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: out of Joey Bosa, so we need our ten from
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Rousseau and got the money now you got.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: To go get it. Yeah, I agree.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: As we begin to wrap up tonight, you know, it's
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: funny because I saw a lot of stuff on.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Twitter after after Benford.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I mean it was going on all throughout those four signings,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: but then once ben for signed, it was funny.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: It was this Kat Williams a little gift whatever.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: He was like, you shouldn't have been talking shit, you know,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: from one of his stand ups, and it was funny
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: as hell, and they were obviously aiming it that James Cook.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: As we wrap up tonight, James Cook, you know, he
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: goes on Twitter, puts the fifteen million dollars, the ie
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Google emojis, and then he doesn't end up getting paid.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Now, obviously I would hope that somebody close to.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Him, whether it be his older brother Dalvin or his agent,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: told this man that he should not expect fifteen million
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: dollars from the Buffalo Bills. I would hope that now, obviously,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: what do you say, You shoot high and he aim
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: for the stars, and then obviously you come back to
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: a more reasonable number.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm assuming that there is a reasonable number that
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: he's willing to accept. DT. He's the one left out.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Brandon Bean the last time that he addressed the media
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: said that, listen man, we moved on from him because
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: we weren't close. We signed the guys that we thought
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: we were closer with, and he said he doesn't see
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: anything in the near future. I just heard a report
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: earlier last week that I guess maybe he's not going to,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: you know, cause any problems or anything like that, and
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: he plans to report and YadA, YadA, YadA. What's your
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: initial reaction to James cook his ask of the money
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: as we begin to wrap up tonight, DT, because I
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: know you've got a bounce, But what did you think
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: about the whole saga?
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Did you think he went about it the wrong way?
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I personally don't know if the social media shit really
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: doesn't I don't think that Brandon Bean is really moved
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: by that stuff. That was when I was always yelling
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: and screaming about Stefan Diggs. Like, I don't think that
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Brandon Bean even cares about that stuff. He cares about
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: the player and the agent. Like what you call me,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: you have my number, you tell me what's going on.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Somebody had to tell James Cook that he's not going
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: to get fifteen million dollars, right, I mean he he
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: knows that, right. I know his brother got the bag
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: for Minnesota, but he knows that, right.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: I'd like to right, I'd like to know the full
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: story here, and we'll never know, right, But like did
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: he come after the season and say, hey, like I
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: just put.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Up big numbers, I want some money and then being
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: in that more like m.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Then and then so he then he started the social
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: media stuff to kind of like spark it, and like
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: maybe that was his way to negotiate.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that was the case. That's a
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: little more messy.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I hope he just kind of came out and said,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: you know, then said the stuff to kind of get
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: some attention and see what would happen.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: But I don't blame him. I mean, this dude in
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: a league where running backs are disrespected every year, you know,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: and he comes off a career year sixteen touchdowns. He
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: knows if next year, in a contract year, if he
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't get sixteen touchdowns, he's not gonna get what he
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: could get technically this year. Hurt. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: So it's a it's a business move on his part
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: to kind of like, hey, I'm at my highest value,
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: like I want to get paid. Like it is smart
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: in a way, but also you can't expect the bills
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: to just say, oh, yeah, you're right. So I don't
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: think he thinks he's getting fifteen I wish you were
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: a little quieter about it. And Beans kind of says
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: that too, and but being also said, it's like, hey,
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: James cook is a man. He's gonna handle how he
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: wants to handle it. And like what you were saying about,
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think he really cares about the outside stuff.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: It's him talking to the James Cooking and the agency. Yeah,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: it's I don't.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Think it's to a point where this dude's gonna hold
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: out or anything.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna ask you, do you think it
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: gets messy this summer?
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: No.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: I think I think he you know, he knows that
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: this team is one of the best in the league.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: And he's a crucial asset to that.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: But the most explosive player. Besides that, he's gonna, you know.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: To give him some wisdom on the business side of things.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: His brother Delvin, you know, his brother Delvin super successful career,
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: got paid, got a few different contracts, and then you know,
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: kind of falls off and James Cook is just trying
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: to get his bag. And it's a business and he
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: doesn't know how long he's gonna be ready to go.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: In a league where the average player plays three years,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: this is in. It could happen. He's not that big,
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: he runs the ball, you know, they bad things could happen.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: So I don't blame him from out the money. He
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: had a career year. He had sixteen touchdowns and if
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: he's not on the team, we got to fill sixteen touchdowns,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: right And but I also don't think he is in
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: a position where he's just gonna hold out and you know,
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: and try to try to get it done. I think
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: the Bills are gonna let it roll. If he has
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: another I will be the first one to get on
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: and say pay him. Hearned it, pay him. If he
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: has a mediocre season, I still say keep him on.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: The team pay him.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: I think he's a great asset of the offense, but
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: not now. He's fine, He's gonna play. He's not gonna
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: hold out.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna lose checks man on a rookie contract.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, Bill's mafi. You got to remember that these
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: guys are making eye. He's he's the final year of
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: his lookie deal. He's about to make five million. But
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: you know, you see stuff and he puts his house
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: on the market and stuff like that. I'm like, listen, y'all,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: he's doing that shit for y'all. Like he's not doing
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: that for the Bills. Like, listen, He's about to make
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: five million dollars next year. It'll be the most money
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: he's ever made in his life. And you know, I
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: just think that it's a situation where the Bills I
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: don't think that they want to pay him early.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Basically, they might have.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe James Cook, like, you're right, he came to him
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: and said, hey, listen, I want fifteen and they say,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: hell no. He's like, okay, I'll take twelve. And then
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: that Brandon was still like hell no, you know what
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: I mean. And then you know, you just got to
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: you got to play it out. He's not going to
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: lose checks and he's not going to lose money, and
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I just think that's sometimes we lose sight of that
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: these guys don't like losing money. He's not in a
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: position where he's banked enough money to lose money. He's
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: going to come to work in the summer.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I really do think that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I think it was a situation of well it, you know,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: you don't know until you ask, you.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Know, closed mouth, don't get that if I ask.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: For fifty million, they give me fifty million nights. So
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I think it was one of those type of deals.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I absolutely I agree. I think he will come
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: to work this offseason. Well, you know, it's funny because
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I've really really enjoyed the off season in respects to
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: some of the moves that brain to be made. I
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: don't think that there was anything too splashy, and I
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: really didn't expect anything too splashy. But as we begin
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: to wrap up tonight DT, I'm looking forward to next week.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: We'll have our draft preview episode next week, and then
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: in a couple weeks we'll actually be doing a Buffalo
• 40:45

• 41:00
  Speaker 3: you've got. I always love the draft. I'm just not
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: a draft nerd, so I'm not doing mox all day
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. That doesn't really move me.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: When do we pick? What time are we picking?

  Speaker 3: And who are the best players on the board, and
• 41:10
