• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you know we too, saying it's your voice. Okay, I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a little sick, little a little nasally, got a lot
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: of sinus pressure and stuff, weather change, all that fun stuff.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: If you live in Buffalo, the weather's changing like crazy.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: There's crazy fog outside. It's super hard to see. Uh yeah,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: but I'm all right. I don't feel great now. I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: not quite like a Michael Jordan flu game right now,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: but I'm less than one hundred percent. But I appreciate
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you for acknowledgingus. Chris says here Sabers had his fire
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: new Ara store. No, actually the Bflo store around Christmas time,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: maybe definitely in December, maybe the week or two before Christmas.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: As Argie says, there are so so many priorities this offseason.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Roy says, YouTube is back up just in time. Yeah,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it's funny you said that I opened the app to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: post something about this and like YouTube wouldn't load. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: didn't know I was like, Oh, that's weird, but you're
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: saying that. I yeah, yeah, I didn't know it was down.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Good time, good time. Yeah. As Argie says, it's silent
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: hill level fog out right now, one thousand percent hopefull,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know, that type of fog or that haze for
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offseason starts to clear soon. See that's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like way, I like that. I'm proud of myself for that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: A lot of you know, potential on the horizon for
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Bills, a lot of murkiness, muddiness, haziness, fogginess for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: this Buffalo Bills off season and the direction that they
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: go in on both sides of the ball. And it
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: starts with a conversation like this, you know, going into
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the priorities for this Bills team going into the twenty
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: twenty six offseason. As RJ says, there are so so
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: many priorities this offseason. I started out, so this episode
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: originally was going to be essentially kind of ranking, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: like I think a lot of us recognize the needs
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: on this roster, the position groups or the skill sets
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: or traits, types of players, archetypes, all that kind of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: stuff that we've discussed a lot of on this show
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and has been discussed elsewhere as well. And as I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: started doing this exercise for this episode, it became hard
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to essentially rank them again. What I really wanted to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: do is like number one is this, you know, even priorities.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I was gonna rank them all one through seven and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: kind of go from there. And as I started doing
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: this episode and putting everything together, I realized it was
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: really hard to parse which ones deserved what kind of ranking,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And instead I ended up realizing that there's several position
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: groups that have like a high priority or like an
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: urgent priority. There's also a couple of position groups that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: are like just below that high or that urgent priority,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and then there's a couple other position groups that are
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: still very important. It's a very interesting transitional year for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: this Buffalo Bills team, and you know, we've talked about
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it on the show. It's an exciting offseason, but it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: also potentially worrisome, like this is a This could very
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: well be a turning point off season for the direction
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills and for this franchise, both positively
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and negatively. Right this could be the year where everything
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: flips and you get a new direction defensively, a new
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: voice for this team, get over you know those playoff
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: humps or those playoff hurdles and on warn and upward
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to success. Right, But it could also be an off
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: season where things kind of you know what, the bottom
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: falls out a little bit and you hit a down swing,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and we look at this off season ten years from
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: now as man, what a mistake you know, path, paths
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and avenues that were taken that led this team to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: its downfall. So it's fun this offseason, but it's also
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: kind of scary. It's also kind of worrisome, and there's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of conversation about the direction this
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: team can go. And you know, a couple of weeks ago,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: we talked about archetypes on this episode. That was the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: most recent episode. I didn't do an episode last week.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I meant to do one at the back end of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the week. It was gonna do some Jim Leonard Wisconsin
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: film breakdown, but certain groups are being pretty crazy about
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: regulating college film on YouTube, and I didn't want to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: get flagged and draw a bunch of unnecessary attention, so
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I did not do that. Two weeks ago, we talked
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: about archetypes that this Bill's defense would need, and this
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: episode is going to tie into that a little bit,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: but kind of prioritizing what this Bills team needs on
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, like the archetypes conversation
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: we have, but a little bit on the offensive side too,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: because there is there's a good chunk of needs across
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: this team. There's a good chunk of position groups that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: need to be addressed, and there's a lot of potential
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: ways to do that, as we do here on the show. Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: anything you folks got, put it up into the chat.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I will try to bring up anything and everything as
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: much as humanly possible. Super chats is always get priority
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: because I respect the monetary donation and the color distracts
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: me from my notes. Yeah, so, questions, thoughts, comments, concerns,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: anything and everything you got, put it into the chat.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: If you have a priority. If you know, I'm gonna
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: go position group by position group and talk about some things.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: If you have thoughts for that position group, cool. If
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you have an overall ranking or priority that you want
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: attached to each position group, or you know you have
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: your own set of thinking, whatever you got anything and everything,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: put it up into the chat. You know how much
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: we love engagement and coversation here on the show. I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: appreciate everybody commenting on YouTube about so yeah, YouTube not
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: being up. Alex says, YouTube is not back up. We're
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: somehow able to jump right into this link. I know
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: everyone is crashing out because when you go to long end,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it says try again for almost two hours for me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Oh and Chris says, YouTube on my phone is fine
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: on Apple TV not so much. I appreciate you folks
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: letting me know, and thank you very much for kind
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of tuning in there, tuning in anyway and finding ways
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: whether you're working on a phone because you regular YouTube
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: isn't working, Apple TV isn't working. Whatever you folks got,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I appreciate everybody finding a way to tune into the show.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: So thank you very much. Now for those of you
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: joining me live an anyone post live watching later tomorrow,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: however long the YouTube issues last. I appreciate you folks
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: tuning in. Thank you very much for that. Suspinar what
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: says my priorities defensive line linebacker gap O line vacancies large, large,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: large gap wide receiver, anything else in a similar LOCKXEP.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start with defensive line on this episode. I'm
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm in similar lockstep with you. I have hmmm where
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: receiver falls in. I think it's interesting. I think you
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: could make a case high and low and then I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: do agree with anything else on the back end, but
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the anything else could get kind of muddy or murky,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: which we're gonna talk about a little bit. But I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: like that Cam Morey said this could be a Mike
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: McDonald asque defensive coordinator change and how it could skyrocket
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but could also be a zach or esque defensive coordinator
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: change where things tank. I that's very fair. I have
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a sincere amount of faith a Jim Leonard, and not
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: just because I've been banging the drum for him for
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: like three years. This is going to be trying to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you know, be first on something and you know, commit
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to something just because I've been wanting it for so long.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I sincerely have a lot of faith in Jim Leonard.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I think this defense will on the whole be better
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: with him at the Helm in terms of his philosophy, identity,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: coach style approach to game planning, in gameplay calling, adjustments,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the scheme, structure, all of it, I think, and that's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: not to say Sean mcdermy's a bad DC or a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: bad game planner play caller, but I think the areas
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: where the Bills came up short in the playoffs and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: or against better offenses, and or against better coordinators quarterbacks,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: however you want to verbalize it, I think Jim Leonard
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is better equipped to get them to kind of fight
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: fire with fire a little bit more so. I do
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: think they'll be better on the whole for this change
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and for this switch, and again not just because I've
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: been asking for it since twenty twenty two and twenty
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: twenty three. But my biggest worry is whether or not
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: they can get the moves done to maximize his defense.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I think he's good enough to raise the floor of
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: this defense in terms again philosophy, identity, scheme structure, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. My major concern is the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: cap space and the draft capital they are flush with. Neither. Granted,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: there are moves that they can make to kind of
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a leave eight themselves financially and get some cap space,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: but my biggest concern is whether or not they can
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: bring in the necessary body types and skill sets to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: maximize this defense and get it to work. I don't
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: think it's quite going to be the level of you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: like when Brandon Staley went to the Chargers. I'm not
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: saying it's going to be that, but that was very
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: much like Wow, this scheme and this structure that Staley brings,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: everything's great. And then he goes to the Chargers and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they didn't get the right body types to run that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: kind of defense, and everything bottomed out and went sideways
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in a hurry and lasted long that way. I'm wary
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of that. I don't think it's gonna happen this way
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: with Leonard, but you still never know, like there's a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: non zero chance. So my biggest concern is again them
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: not being able to get the body types or the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: skill sets or the play styles that will allow this
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: defense to truly be maximized. But even within that, I
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: still trust him to raise the floor and do enough.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Appreciate Ron hit that like button if you folks are
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: able to willing enable and I know it's corny to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: shell out for that, but likes of the like blood
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of these streams, So please, please, please and thank you
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: if you have not already dropped a lake on this video.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Ryan says, Bill's roster Priority number one trade up for
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Jordan Tyson. Jordan Tyson wide receiver out of Arizona State.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know, Priority number two
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: is everything else that's fair. I like it. RJ says, Oh,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that's why YouTube freaked out on my TV. Yeah, that's funny. Again.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I was in the app but before when I was
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: posting the link for it, and it wouldn't YouTube wouldn't
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: load for me. But I went when I went into
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the search and search for disguised coverage, everything came up.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if there's certain functionality. Yeah, are
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: just saying mobile seems to be. I like how I'm
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: reading the chat and everybody is all kind of figuring
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: out YouTube together, but also like ping ponging off of
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like other people's thoughts and realizing what's going on. Like
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Randy says, like, oh, Alex, good to know about YouTube.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's experiencing the same here in Jacksonville, Florida, connected by
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the notice coming across my screen. Oh and then a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: common here in the end. Appreciate your ready, Randy saying,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I am concerned about the bills bringing in someone like
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Fox too many chefsy So those who don't know John Fox,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: very veteran coach and experienced coach in this league. Super no,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: not Super Bowl winner. He was jettisoned from someone can
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: feel free to uh in fact check me on that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: But he was the Broncos head coach, got let go.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: They brought in Kubiak and won the Super Bowl, if
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I remember correctly. I think that's fair. I trust him
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to be more of it. I trust him to be
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in more of an advisory role. And I don't necessarily
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: dislike that. I do think there's there's the possibility of yeah,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: like kind of you know in my day or I
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: would do this type of deal and you don't know
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: how those relationships kind of work and how they flesh
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: out in real time. I think that's a fair concern.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not too worried, but I think that's fair. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: think that's a fair thought to have. Oh, Marty saying,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I'm typing out my phone connected to a TV. It
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: did take a second to get connected though. All these things,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: all these things are happening. Appreciate Walter says, an't get
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it thegether you have YouTube while messed up. Right now,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I blame myself. This is on me, Charles says, d Line,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you say, oh, boy A Mafey, I like boy A
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Mafey a lot. I'll probably talk about him a little
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: bit on this episode. I let me backtrack. I do
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: like boy A Mafe. I have also concerns about boy
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: A Mafe and then tying into I'm very interested to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: see what kind of contract he gets. I wonder how
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: teams see him, if they see him as a true,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you know, top two edg rusher on a team and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: thus a guy that will get paid, or if they
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: see him as more of a high end rotational guy,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: which would bring his cost down and allow the Bills
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to play ball a little bit more. Very interested in that,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Marty says, how do we get Brian Thomas Junior and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a decent wide receiver pick but still do all what
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: we need to do. It's tough. If you want to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: get BTJ, it's probably gonna cost you a two and
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more. I don't think. I don't
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna cost one. I don't think it's gonna
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: cost as low as a three. I don't know if
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I want Brian Thomas Junior. This might be me getting
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: scared off a little bit, but just in watching a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: lot of Jags tape this season, and then especially in
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: preparation for Bill's Jags, and then watching the Bills first
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Jags tape, I'm pretty low on Brian Thomas Junior. And
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: also just even the wariness of like if a team
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: is willing to cut bait already on a top ten
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: wide receiver pick, I just his skill set. I don't
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: know if it is the one that. Granted, he's got
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of traits and you could make the case
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: so you know, he's got the traits, just needs to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: be coached up. He is worthy of a you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: reclamation project type of label. I worry about Brian Thomas.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: You know, his route tree is still limited. Trey White
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: locked him up pretty good in that playoff game. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I don't want to give up
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a two for Brian Thomas Junior, and I don't think
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a Day three pick gets it done. But I respect
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: people who want and I mean the size and the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: speed is super fun. I don't hate that, but that's fair.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Ryan says receiver is number one. No regrets this time. Oh,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: max put on the offense and then do what you
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: can on defense. That's fair. Ar just says wide receiver one,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: wide receiver two, maybe a pass rushing edge at off at,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: outside linebacker, safety, one massive human nose tackle, inside linebacker,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and maybe a four eyed defensive end. After that depth
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: ronsa has outside linebacker, wide receiver, safety, defensive line and
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: tier O line linebacker corner. I like where a lot
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of these thoughts are also. I like that everybody seems
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to agree on what the needs are, but there are
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: different rankings for which is the priority and where. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: like that, Ron says, Teraron trade Charon Johnson for a
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: draft pick. Taron Johnson is an interesting one. You know.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Obviously the Bill's been such a heavy nickel defense for years.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: The Teraron Johnson has been an important part of the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: defense and a legitimate starter. I wonder if you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: with playing probably a little more base under Jim Leonard,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: you're still gonna work in a good chunk of nickel.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But how much nickel do we see? Is it seventy six,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: is it sixty? Is it fifty five? You know, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I'll have that his cap hit and what he is,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: how does that kind of function that type of value
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: for what he's getting paid. I will say I didn't
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: have this in my notes because I'm just pulling up
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna be pulling up stuff as
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: we go through his Taron Johnson. Let's go to Teraron
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Johnson right now, Bob Bob boy, A post June first
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: trade gives you a dead cap hit of two point
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: seven three million this year and six point eight million
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: next year, but it does save you eight point seven
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: million dollars this year. Same thing if he gets released,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: if he gets released past June first, if he gets
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: traded post June first, same thing, two point seven three
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: eight dead cap in twenty twenty six, six point eight
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: dead cap in twenty twenty seven eight point six seven million,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: so eight point seven in twenty twenty six saved. You
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: can only designate two players for a post June first release,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: so if you want to throw tearing into that bucket,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: it's understand. I don't love the idea of essentially having
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: to eat like nine million just to save eight point seven,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: but I get the notion, especially because you're only getting
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a dead cap at two point seven this year and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: saving eight point seven. I'm up in the air on
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Tarran a little bit, and then again tying into a
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: course like you can only have two guys designated as
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: a post June first release. Granted thinking trade them, it's different,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: but you know, post June first release you can only
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: designate two. Is that Terran? Is that Dawson Knox? Is
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: that Curtis Samuel? You know, how does that kind of
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: work in as well? But very fair, Kay Morris says
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: YouTube's the more functional the next Randy. Why are we
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: bringing in an older coach? I'm sixty eight and a doctor,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: not an age. Just fair nice, also nice humble Braack
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: like it. But Fox was not a great football my
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: late in his career. How many babysitters does Brady need?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Brady needs his own brand. I think that's fair. I
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: think it's more of you know, being a coach, being
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: a head coach who's also going to run a side
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: of the ball. I do think it's valuable to have
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: veteran voices within your coaching structure, within your team. I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: do wonder where Fox's voice will be lent, especially considering
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you know, like I selfishly, I don't want anybody interfering
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: with Jim Leonard. I want Jim Leonard, and I'm not
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: saying John Fox would or is. I don't want anybody
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: getting in Jim Leonard's way. I want Jim Leonard to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: run the entire defense the way Steve Spagnolo has been
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: running the defense for the Chiefs, and I don't want
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: anybody else telling him what to do. I like the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: additions they made, especially Javali, the cornerbacks coach that they
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: brought in or he's the Bill's cornerbacks coach, but he
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: was the co DC and cornerbacks coach at our DB's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: coach at Oklahoma. I think he's a defensive coordinator in waiting.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I really really like Javali, but I don't want anybody
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: getting in Jim Leonard's way. I don't want anybody messing
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: up Jim Leonard's ViBe's flow fought in any way, shape
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: or form. Not saying John Fox would do that. And
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I think you know he does have you know, he's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: got He's had a lot of success in this league.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: He's had some you know, failures as well, but I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: think kind of having him into that advisory or assistant
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: role isn't terrible. I just wonder what formut comes in.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Is it more of a management aspect, Is it more
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: of kind of just somebody whispering in your ears sweet
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: nothings every now and again, or is it to have
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit more of a hands on her active approach.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want anybody interfering with Jim Leonard in any way,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: shape or form. Walter saying, this feels like another offseason
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: where we won't be able to take advantage of the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: compic formula. With the retooling on defense necessary, it feels
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: like a safe bet we bring in more than we lose.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I would second that notion completely. James, You know me.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: This is my brand. James says, we need the loss
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of raptors one thousand percent. For those who don't know,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that's guys with a certain type of play style aggression, speed, physicality, violence.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I label them ve Losci raptors, and those are guys
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that I really want. The first person I think I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: ever use that term for or I used it just
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: to describe the forty nine Ers defense, I think maybe
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: like twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, and then the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: first player I remember specific I remember talking about like
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Dray green Law and Fred Warner being Veloci Raptors. And
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: then the first free agent I labeled that way I
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: think was Jonathan Gernard when he was a free agent
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: going from Houston and Minnesota got I wanted him so bad. Yes.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: RJ says he went to the Super Bowl with Carolina
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: when they played the Pats. Then with Denver. Yeah, but
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: did he did he ba ba He was the Denver
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Broncos head coach from twenty eleven through twenty fourteen. But
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think. Yeah, he lost. Yeah, he didn't win
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: a super Bowl in Denver. I think when they I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: think they went with him, I'm horrible with years. I
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: think he went and that was when they got waxed
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: by Seattle. Yeah right, yeah, so he hasn't won one. Yes,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you're right. I think that's what you're saying. Bo Bo
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Bay Jason says, Bradley Chubb at the right price, at
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the right price, sure, I don't love it. I mean again,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: if the right price, if he comes in and it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: like three million dollars, I'm like, okay, but I feel
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: like you might get a little more. I don't love it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Oh Ron says, try to get Trey Hendrickson. I think
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it would be nice flexibility and to do a lot
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: with him in hoy I just think he's gonna cost
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: too much, so I'm not even wasting my time. But
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I that's a fair thought. Ky More, he says, if
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Travis Hunter is going to be a full time CB,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I see Jacksonville keeping BTJ. I agree, I agree, I agree,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I agree. Ah. I like what Randy is saying here.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior is very up and down during the season.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Harrison Marmon Harrison Junior would be a good addition. He
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: was a stud at Ohio State. I expect he will
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: return to form with a great QB, more upside than
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: key On. Yeah. I think Marmon Harrison Junior has the gyips,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and I think getting him with Josh Allen and in
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: a new environment and in new culture could cure him.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Avent I think Arizona has been a bit of a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: mess with Jonathan Gannon, Kyler Murray just all the again,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not in Arizona and I don't follow them, you know, tremendously,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: but I don't know, like all the Kyler Murray called
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the duty memes and all those jokes, and how seriously
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: he takes it and then just the messes they've had,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and Jonathan Gannon being weird, and then also maybe kind
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: of a jerk like and then Harrison's having some drop seas.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I think he had the yips. I think Marvin Harrison
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Junior would do. I think a change of scenery would
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: do him good. His floor should be very high. He's
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: just such a professional player already coming from Ohio State
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: with what he could do. He's not some dude who
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: won on traits or some amazing like wow, he's so fast,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: or he's just massive frame or anything. He could just
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: rout anybody up in any way, shape or form and time.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I get him. A change of scenery clear him mentally,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: but especially if he goes to a good place and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a good culture, which I believe the Bills have. Yeah,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: one thousand percent, he asked Roy, we do need a
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: punch and kicker maybe, huh. Cam moy says, do anything
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: you can draft cats, say Matsuzawa, the Tokyo tow and
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: calling an off season. Yes, came Morey says Mike McDonald
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: had Leslie Frazier and it's just that he did. I'm
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a fan of those veteran moves traditionally, but I think
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you can play Devil's advocates say like, oh, are there
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: too many chefs in the kitchen? YadA YadA. Oh appreciate you, Randy. Yeah,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: thank you for commenting. I appreciate you this fun conversation. Oh,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Charles says, Let's say Philly pays Jalen Phillips big money
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to stay, plus other big extensions they have upcoming. You
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: trade for Nolan Smith. If I can get Nolan Smith
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: for a day three pick sure. Nolan Smith is an absolute?
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Is an absolute? Is a veloci raptor, violence, juice, set
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the edge against the run rush a little bit. Yeah,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you can drop in coverage a little bit. I would
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: take Nolan Smith. I have to look at him financially
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: to see what that would be. But I like Nolan
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Smith coming out of Georgia. I knew he was gonna
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: be more of a project as a pass rusher, but
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I thought his floor was fun because of how violent
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: he was and how juice s dup he was and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: twitchy and what he did against the run. So yeah,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I still remember him mashing the hell out of Tray
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Smith in the Super Bowl last year. Yeah, John says,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the three aisles mobile agile hostile. I like it, well done,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: appreciate you, Caleb saying, Hey, I always like an episode
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: of DC. Hope you're doing alright on this fine Tuesday,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and I hope you're doing all right as well. M
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: ah Ron. Yes, I wonder if we draft a few
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: player from Oklahoma because Vally has a ton of insight
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: info on that roster. I wonder as well. I wonder
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: as well. Ryan says, just not to Tyreek Hill. Yeah,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not even speak on it. I'm no on Tyreek Hill.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Please no get him. I don't want anywhere near my
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: team in any way, shape or form. I don't think
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: you should be anywhere in the league. And that's going
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: back to his days at Oklahoma State. Yeah, I'm out. Also,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Ron to comment of your thought too. I wonder how
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: much we get from the college influence in general, like
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: bringing in the Illinois defensive line coach, Like, do you
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: see any influence there? I wonder how much? I mean again,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I also thought that a little bit with m oh
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: my god, wire names escaping me right now? Oh, who's
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the Jamie le Die When the Bills brought him in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: uh as secondary, he was the Miami secondary coach. I
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: think from like twenty twenty two and through twenty twenty three,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: and then he was the Bill's corners coach last year,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty four. I thought the same thing
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: kind of them, like, oh, would they bring in some
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Miami guys? What kind of influence do we get there.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I'm always kind of, you know, thinking of that and
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: worrying about that. Not worrying about that, but wondering. Caleb says,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I think the Bills. I know the Bills already have
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: three good tight ends, but I'm hoping they pick up
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Tanner Cozio from Houston in the draft, maybe a second
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: or a third. I have to dive into tight ends.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I'm behind on draft prep with all the free agency
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: and Jim Leonard's stuff. But Caleb saying, dude is absolutely insane.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get into tight end because I Dawson Knox
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: is a sneaky Domino one way or the other. Ryan says,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: five tight ends, that's that's fair.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Is Brian Thomas Junior worth a first round pick for me? No?
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to give a second for him.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I would I don't really want to give a Day
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: two pick for him. I'd be fine. Given a four. Yeah,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I was a little lower on me. I think he
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was still my wide receiver five coming out that year,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: but I just thought he was raw. And then I
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: haven't liked what he's done so far, and then even
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: like that going over the middle stuff and there's just
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: so much mundiness and I don't want more muddiness if
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna, If I'm you need top of the depth
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: chart production and assuredness at the wide receiver position. And
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I still feel like BTJ is too much of a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: question mark. I still think he's more hope and if
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: more so than known quantity and assuredness, And for that
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I'd rather just not even worry. I'd rather I'd rather
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: not even make that move. I would for Marvin Harrison Junior, though,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: because I believe in him much more than I do
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior b BA B. Marty says, I think
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: part of the reason I was leading Brian Thomas Junior
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: versus Harrison is because I think he will be cheaper
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and would allow us draft more capital, or allow us
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: more draft capital get the second wide receiver. Yeah, you're
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: probably right on that. I do think that's fair. Joey says,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: how much caproom do you realistically think being will create.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Will he be conservative or aggressive? I think he's going
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to be as aggressive as he can. I think he
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: wants to whether rightly or wrongly, or these are good
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: reasons or not or not good reasons. I think he
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: wants to show that the failures of this team were
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: because of Sean McDermott and not because of him, and
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: so I think he's gonna do everything that he can
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to push this team over the hump. Doesn't mean he'll
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: be able to make it all work right, doesn't mean
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: that he'll be able to clear cap space and sign
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the guys he wants or make the trades happen that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: he wants. But I do think they're going to be aggressive.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I expect to see some decently big names coming in.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how big, but I expect to see
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: some flash and some sizzle this offseason from Brandon be
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Matt says, I like Mike Evans, Yeah, I would still
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I would take Mike Evans. I know he's not prime
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Mike Evans, He's still really good. He's still effective downfield,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: good character, dude, good leader, can still get you a bucket.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I would take Mike Evans uh c sport any realistic
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: chance of getting sweat from Tennessee. I do think there
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: was some smoke to that fire, not just for the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Bills but for anybody. I still think you can fit
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and solve his defense. But I do think there's there
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: is some kind of square pag round hole happening there.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I do think there is a realistic chance. M hm
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: m hmm. Recent Cooks bringing Evans, I would like Brandon
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Cooks back saying no to btj uh Don says favorite
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: linebacker and free agency. If we're talking like a true
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: like linebacker Caiden Ellis, Leoshanal is up there too, but
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I'd probably say Kaiden Ellis, Yeah, Kiden Ellis uh and
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Leoshanal close close close close, Yes, As levy Man says,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: gabiatists be and play. Yes, Uh, Illinois, he went to Illinois.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: He went to Illinois. The Illinois defensive line coach is
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: now his coach at Illinois is now the Buffel Bills
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: defensive line coach. Yes, I think he should be in play.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I haven't gotten too his tape yet, so if somebody
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: has already and wants to say like no, I don't
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: like him because x Y and z Fair. I haven't
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: gotten too his tape yet, but yes, I think he
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: should be in play purely because of the relationship and
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the bills need at that position. Bomb Bomb Bomb Nate says,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: why did BEDJ have such a second year slump? I
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: think it's just tied to the lack of progression that
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: he had a lot of his success as a rookie.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: There was a ton of moonshots and downfield chucking that
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: worked out between him and Trevor Lawrence. I think this
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: year teams kind of looked at what he was as
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: a rookie and said, cool, do something else besides try
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and run vertical and beat us, and he couldn't. Everything
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: for him was really go routes or speedouts, like. There
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of anything else. There were a couple
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: digs every once in a while, but even that and
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: some drags and stuff over the middle. He was alligating
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: alligator alligator arming things a bit. That's where the whole
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: hospital ball discussion came from, and all this stuff. I mean, Jacoba,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that was why Jacoby Myers was so you know, he
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: was just JP Acosta from ESB Nation and who loves
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the Jags are not Espanation. Now he's from uh doing
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: NFL and college stuff for CBS. I should say apologies JP,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: as he said it what I had him on the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: show for the Jags Bills preview, Like Jacoby Myers brought
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: an adult into the wide receiver room who was willing
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: to go over the middle. I just think there's a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: lot of red flags with BTJ right now, and at
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the top of it is he hasn't developed into the
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: player that you want for whatever reason from a technicality perspective,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: kind of different different ways. I'm not saying it's it's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: off the field stuff, but similarly to kind of Keon Coleman,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: like Keon Coleman hasn't had that development and trajectory you
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: want from him. I think the same thing applies to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior. He's just a lot faster and so
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and therefore more appealing. I don't need two guys like
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that on a team, which is what scares me with
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior. Now it says Mike Evans is too
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: old fair, but when I'm my biggest thing is in
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the age, he just gets banged up too much. And
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: that was even when he was younger and hit his
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: prime when healthy. Right now, even if Mike Evans is old,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Mike Evans is still sick, and I
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: will add a Hall of Fame level dude right now
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: who can still produce. I don't think he's prime wide
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: receiver one Mike Evans. I still think he's a good
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: middle to high tier two who can moonlight as a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: wide receiver one on certain days. And with his ability
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and experience and what he excels at and how his
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: skill sets and trades would fit in the offense, I
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: would take it again. My biggest issue is really the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: age is more so the injuries, and the injuries aren't
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a product of being older. He's been banged up a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: ton during his career. As a person who had him
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: on his fantasy team, like my main home league fantasy
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: team and other ones, almost every single year for this
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: first like eight years in the league, man, there were
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of weeks where I was like watching the
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: injury report and seeing him being questionable, doubtful, not being
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: able to play, him getting banged up in the first
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: drive or the first quarter of games, and championship your
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: playoff weeks and me getting no points from him. Yeah, yeah,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Ron saying I agree ant Bean's gonna be super aggressive.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: He isn't The offseason would be disappointment. Yeah. I think
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: he's gonna go I think he's gonna go hard and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: try and prove everybody wrong. Mark says Alec Pierce would
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: be a good fit for the right price. Alex Pierce
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: would absolutely be a great fit. Size, athleticism, juice, good hands,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: high points the football. I liked him since he came
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: out of Cincinnati. He's gonna get paid. He gonna get
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: paid big time. You could get Alec Pierce. I don't
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: know how much money it's gonna leave you to do
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: anything else, But I think Alec Pierce is gonna get
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: big boy paid on the market and it's just gonna
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: take him out, just gonna take him out. Claud says,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: unlike Keyon, Brian Thomas Junior can create separation sure on
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: go routes, though, just because of his speed, like and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's enough to get it done. Like,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I think he's more appealing and sexy to people because
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: he has speed and he has verticality, which I would
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: take right like I would take Brian Thomas Junior over
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Keon Coleman right now. Sure, but I think they're both
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: still projects and guys who haven't developed in their first
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: two years the way that you would hope they would.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: And I don't want two guys like that on the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: same team unless it's like, hey, we'll give you Keon
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: and you give us bechj and we'll also give you
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: a fourth or a fifth. Sure, I don't think Jacksonville's
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: gonna do that deal, and so I just don't want me.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: It's just money for me. Well just says, what's your
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: thoughts on Michael Pittman as an idea. There's rumors of
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: him being a potential cutcandider for the Colts. I feel
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: like he's a guy that fits the ex receiver role
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: we envisioned for Coleman. Yes, size, length, physicality. He plays
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the big boy wide receiver X the way that you
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: should play big boy wide receiver X. He uses his size,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: he high points the football, He's athletic, does all the
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: dirty stuff, football pedigree, all that stuff. I would welcome
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior, one thousand percent. I would him. I
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: would take any of the indie receivers man, even though
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: like we have that Bill Zev Shakir. I would take Downs,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I love Downs, I'd welcome Pierce, I'd welcome Michael Pittman,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Michael Pittman sick. I would take Michael Pittman. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: s U bomb bomb bum. Ryan says, I love how
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: much Ryan wats wider series is Alec Pears and Jordan
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Tyson is truly the dream. Yeah. I would say this
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: comment came through right as someone else said, what about
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: my Michael Pittman junior trade with Alec Pierce likely to
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: stay in Indian And then he says, see meant to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: be meant to be? Said it at the same time,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: might be it's fate destiny. Joey says, do you have
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: a no matter what player in the draft? Love to
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: know your favorite choice, regardless of around right now? I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: right now, I don't. I will as we start to
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: get into March, I will start to have several at
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: several positions right now. Non committal, non committal right now.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I do like Emmanuel McNeil Warren, a safety from Toledo,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: but I'm very early in I cannot commit to a
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: no matter what player right now. But I have enjoyed
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: his tape actually, let me see, I'm going to some
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: of my notes here, and yeah, that's from that other
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: than from like a high end perspective like Rubin Bin.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: But I feel like that doesn't count. All right, really
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: good chat, really good engagement, really thoughts, really good thoughts, conversation,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: all that stuff start to get into the crux of
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: this episode, the Buffalobollo's roster priorities. I'm starting with defensive
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: line again. I wanted to rank these and do like
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: this one's one, this one's two. You know, if I
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: had seven position groups, I wanted to rank them one
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: through seven. Instead, just gave them priority levels. Defensive line.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I'm grouping this together overall, right, this defensive line grouping,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: because I didn't want to parse it out. It includes no's,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: it includes four I, it includes five texts. And I'm
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: also including the edge players, So the guys that would
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: be stand up you know, outside linebackers or edges you
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: know in an odd front, or would also be the
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: edges or the defensive ends in the four down nickel stuff.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm including that, right, I'm including all that on
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the defensive line high high high high high high high priority.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody who knows me is shocked by this.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: And I don't really think this is the shock for anybody.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people recognize the defensive line piece.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start inside and make my way out. So,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: as of right now, if we are looking at the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: where'd my salary cap table notes go? So annoyed to myself?
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Right now? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold the phone,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: or rookie move, rookie, rookie, rookie move. All right, So,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: if we are looking at the Buffalo Bills defensive line,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: so I start. I want to start from the inside
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: out and talk about Dean Walker because I feel like
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: he continues to get a lot of conversation around you know,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: what's he gonna play, How's he gonna play? All this
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I don't mind him at nos. I
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: don't mind the idea of him at knows. I don't
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: mind the idea of him playing at that spot. My
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: biggest question with him is just with how he's built,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: being able to consistently hold up against double teams, against
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: run defense stuff, and you know, mitigating displacement is my
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: biggest concerns. And it's not because he's soft or anything
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: like that he's just six foot seven and he doesn't
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: have a ton of bend. You knows Jpacosta refers to him,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: it's another shoutout for JP. He's the iron giant, right.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot of bend to him whatsoever. So
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I think he could play NOS, but I think the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Bills need a true nose to free up Dion Walker
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: and let him rock elsewhere. I think he can moonlight
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: it nose, but ideally I don't think he's a full
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: time dude at NOS. Can he work there? Yes, especially
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: if the Bills are playing with movement and trying to penetrate,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: which they can and will do. Again, remember everything with
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: this defense, this Bill's defense is going to be a
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: hybridized front. You're gonna see odd front stuff, You're going
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: to see even front stuff. Right so, you're still gonna
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: see elements from the Sean McDermott era where it's four
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: down and you're playing Nickel. Right now, the edges might
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: be more outside linebacker types than true defensive ends. Under
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. The defensive tackles might be more defensive ends
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: instead of defensive tackles. Right, there's a whole bunch of
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: hybridization from a player perspective and a personnel perspective, in
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: addition to the hybridized fronts and the fluidity and the
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: flexibility and the adjustability of all of that. Right, So,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I do think you will see him or I do
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: think you will see this defense having you know, some
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: one gapping in it and some penetration. You're gonna see
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: run stunts, You're gonna see slants, You're gonna see movement
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: stuff that I think Dion Walker can do right. And
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I also, again, I don't think he's horrible at the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: point of attack. But you know, from a skill set
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: standpoint and a play style standpoint, he's not a plugger.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: That is just what it is like. It's not how
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: he's built. He's still a penetrator. He's and again the
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: phrasing I'm about to use doesn't mean that he's soft.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: He's a finesse player on the interior, which isn't horrible.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: And again, he was more physical against the run as
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: a rookie than I thought he ever would be. And
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: he played better against the run as a rookie than
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I thought he ever would. But again, he's more of
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: a finesse player inside. What I would like to see
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: is if you get a true nose that allows Walker
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: to kind of rotate in there more on passing down
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: in distances, you know, get an early down nose, let
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: him plug, let him just beat up offensive lineman. Again,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep giving that example. Give me Roy Lopez,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna drop Roy Lopez like a stone
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: in the center of the defense to play nose to
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: beat up guards, beat up centers, push guys into the backfield,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: cause displacement, and just cause chaos in the interior for
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: anywhere from fifteen to twenty five snaps a game. Right,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: You do that, and then I think that allows Walker
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: to rotate in it knows, but also get some work
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: at four and some other spots across the defensive line.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think Walker is built to regularly mitigate displacement
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: and gum up interiors, right, and other than that, you
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: don't have a regular nose that I want on this team.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I know, Zion log you know, I do think he
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: has the body type and the skill set for it.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hang my hat on that being the
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: nose rotation. I don't want a nose rotation of Dion
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Walker and Zion log I just don't think that's high
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: end enough and displacement mitigating enough. I don't want to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: play odd front structures and a hybridized front and still
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: have to Okay, well, we have to slant, we have
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: to run, blitz, we have to do all this movement
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: to be able to steal gaps and cancel gaps and
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: cross face and cause havoc and cause creation, you know,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: for for negativity. Because we don't have ass kickers up
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: front who can beat somebody one on one and who
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: can anchor and mitigate and reset the line of scrimmage.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with that again. And it's
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: not just because I don't want to. I don't think
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: you can do that in today's NFL. Now again, I
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: still want to be able to do the penetration and
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: the movement stuff, but I'd like to do both. I'd
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: like to do all of it. The Name of the
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Game said this years ago and about the offense, but
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: I'm saying now for the defense. If you're playing rock
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: paper scissors, you got to be able to throw rock
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: paper and scissors, and the Bills defense hasn't the past
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: couple of seasons. They have not. They haven't been able
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to throw rock. They can throw paper, which is coverage.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: They can throw scissors, which is movement stuff. They can't
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: do rock, which is sit there, beat people up and
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: not get moved. You can't do that. They can't do that.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: You got to be able to do all three. That's
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: the name of the game. Offensively and defensively. Can you
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: be fluid enough. Can you be almost kind of like
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: identity lists enough to be whatever you need to be
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: on any given week to beat an opponent. So you
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: need to be as matchup proof as possible. And that
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: goes into the scheme and it goes into the personnel
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: that you have as well. It's part of not to
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: get too meta here a large scale. It's part of
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: why Jim Leonard's defense and three four on front hybridized
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: defenses are what I've wanted for years for this Bill's defense,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: because come playoff time, they weren't matchup proof. There were
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: clear ways that they could be dictated to. There were
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: clear ways to put them on the back foot and
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: make them chase the game. And we saw that play
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: out year after year on the defensive side of the ball.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: And I think Jim Leonard philosophically is on the opposite again,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: he said multiple times, and we talked about it on
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: this show. He doesn't want to be a counterpuncher, right.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: He wants to make the offense go over to the sideline,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: look at the tablets and be like, oh, how do
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: we adjust? What do we do? How do we fix this?
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: YadA YadA. That's who he is, that's what he wants
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: to be. So in order to do that, unity need
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: to be as fluid and as flexible as possible in
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: your scheme, in your structure, but also in your person. Now,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: so I think, get yourself a true nose free up
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Deon Walker to do some fun stuff. Let him play
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: little nose sure, Let him play as a four eye sure,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: let him play as a five Sure, Let him play
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: as a one tech or a three in your four
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: down even front stuff. Sure. Let him stand up and
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: rush from a two point stance off the edge like
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: you did a Kentucky. Sure. Let him go be Godzillian
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: King Kong at different spots on the defensive line. Cool.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think letting him play nose tech fully or
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: having him be your starting nose nos tech nose tackle.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think him being your starting nose. One maximizes
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: his skill set, two sets him up for success. Three
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: sets the defense up for success. Could he do it? Sure?
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Is it ideal for me? No? So starts with there,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: get yourself a true nose, tying into that, let's keep
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: working our way out. Let's go to the four eyes.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: We've talked about it, right, if you've got guys who
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: if you're in an odd firm presentation, if you're in
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: that tight front specifically that appreciates your Ryan recognized on
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: the rock paper sits analogy. I use that rock Perps's
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: analogy a lot. I've never really thought about it. I meaning,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: like the rock is run defense. But hey, when in
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Rome the four eyes, those guys that are still going
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: to be on the inside shoulder of the tackles, guys
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: who also can maybe play as the you know, edge
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: players and defensive ends, maybe kick inside certain sub packages
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: this and that. Right now you're looking at Ed Oliver
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: and TJ. Sanders. I think ed Oliver will be fine.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. I think ed Oliver will benefit
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: in this defense. Let him be a four eye in
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: the tight front or some odd front stuff. Let him
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: kick in to a three or even a one in no,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I'm passing down in distances. When you're in even front stuff,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want with him. I'd even
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: be cool letting him stand up and rush off the
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: edge and certain situations in certain sub packages. Sorry, I'm
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: moving too much to through the camera to focus. I'd
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: be okay letting him do that. I think Jim Leonard
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: will kind of tap into the versatility that ed Oliver has.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: It's just a matter of if he can stay healthy,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: which is a big if, then the other four eye.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I just have questions on TJ. Sanders. I'm not ready
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: to be confident in him, and I wouldn't be confident
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: in him holistically even if the defense wasn't changing. His
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: rookie year was almost kind of a wash. He had
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: to play defensive end because they were so banged up
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: at that spot. He had struggled against the run. He's
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: getting chucked and thrown out the club, you know, against
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: double teams and things like that. I think this schematic
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: change is an ideal. It is not ideal for him.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he can't work. I just have questions for him.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: What weight is he going to play at? And you
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: know how does his technique and play style translate to
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: this defense. So right now, like if you're looking at
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: the roster as is as we've talked about, it's Ed
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and T. J. Sanders probably is your four eyes. I'm
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: not confident enough in Sanders. You need a real four eye.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: No disrespect to him, I just don't trust Sanders as
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a player right now. So I'd like either a true
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: starting four I like John Franklin Myers. I'll take David A. Yamada,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: especially because of his flexibility. Sebastian Joseph Day. Give me
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: one of those three dudes is a true four eye,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: or or have Dion Walker and Ed Oliver be your
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: starting four eyes and then just get me two noses
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: who are going to play the nose and beat people up.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Give me Tonga and Lopez and I'll be quiet. Give
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: me Lopez and DJ Reader that's fine too, Like give
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: me one of those guys. Even take like one of
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the the older type of vets who are on not
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: their last legs. But I'll you know, I'll take Andrew Billings,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: I'll take Eddie Goldman like somebody like that. Like you
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: can give me two noses if it means Dion Walker
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: is going to be a full time four eye and
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: the odd front looks and then you know, kind of
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: work into the regular four down even front stuff like
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: he's done before. Right, But I think you need a
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: true four eye. I think you need to upgrade the
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: interior of that defensive line from the inside of the
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: tackles to the center. That's where you need to upgrade,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: both in those eyes front, the lignements, and again even
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: in the even front stuff. If you get David Anyamatta,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: if you get John Franklin Myers, those are dudes who
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: can play four I and kick some butt with it
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: on Yamata can even play nose a little bit even
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: though he's three hundred pounds, just because he's so nasty.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: But those dudes can also rock in a one or
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: three tech when you are in your four down nickel
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: front stuff like. They give you a lot of flexibility
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: in a variety of ways, even play a little defensive
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: end in their two some five, which is cool. Marlin
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: your comment there about you know, asking about Dwayne Carter.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I was pretty out on Dwayne Carter after his rookie year,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: which I know is harsh. I don't think the Bills
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: plan for him helped. They took him in Austin Johnson
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: and made them both play at weights that didn't lean
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: into what they were. Austin Johnson was a pretty good
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: one tech rotational one tech before coming to Buffalo. Dwayne
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Carter was a penetrating defensive tackle in a three tech
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: at Duke. And they made Carter gain weight and they
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: made Johnson lose weight because they wanted both of them
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: to be able to play one and three, and I
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: thought that screwed him both up. So I don't think
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: they did Carter a lot of favors as a rookie,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: but his play was just bad. And now he's coming
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: off in Achilles. I don't know what to do for
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Carter. You're probably putting him not even probably his
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: only shot is to play for I. I think he
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: was I think he was a cut candidate if he
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: didn't get hurt. I think he was a cut candidate
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: this past year in the preseason. So kind of out
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: on Dwayne Carter right now, let me keep going back
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: to my notes here and then let's keep going out.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Let's go to edge, right, So, I don't care how
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: you want to label it. If you want to label
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: it as an outside linebacker. If you want to label
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: it as like an edge and the odd front stuff,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: I don't care. If you want to call it whatever
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: technique you want to label it a lineman you want
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: to label it, I don't care. They need an edge
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: rusher to be a batman to Greg Russeau's robin. That's
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: the analogy, and would keep going with. I think Greg
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Russou gets a ton of hate. I don't think it's
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: necessarily all deserved, but I don't think that he I
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: don't think he's a true edge one overall. I think
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: he is versus the run. I don't think he is
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: his pass rusher. And I know some of the metrics
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: speak well of him, like his pressure numbers and his
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: past rushed productivity. They're like they're decent, But I think
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: when you look at how his pressures come, he's just
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: not an edge one as a pass rusher. But he's
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: a very fine to good edge two. You just need
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: a batman to his robin, or you need another Robin,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: or you need a night wing. You need something, and
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: preferably somebody give you some juice, right. I think Michael
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Hoyt and Groot are two good edges. So Hoyt and Rousseau.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's fun, especially like Hoyt gives you a
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: lot of flexibility. Rousseau does as well to kick inside
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit to four, I do a bunch of
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: different things. Hoyt can drop into coverage, Like there's some
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: fun stuff you can do with Hoyt and Rousseau. But
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Hoyt's coming off in Achilles that he hurt in the
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: first week in November. What November two against the Chiefs
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: is when that game was. We don't know what version
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: of Michael Hoyt we're gonna get back. We don't know
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: he'll be ready for the start of the season. We
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: don't know if again, what version we're gonna get. Even
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: if he is ready, it usually takes two years to
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: get back to form, so we might not see the
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: true impact from Michael Hoyd until twenty twenty seven. But
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: he's still going to factor in and play if he's
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: able to play. But I think him and grud are
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: still more in the compression, beat him up type of mold.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: You need juice right off the edge, I think, and
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: I think you also need somebody who's just a bucket
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: getter and a winner. I think Hoyd is a very
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: fine player. I like Michael Hoyd a lot. He was
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: on my top free agent list last year of who
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I wanted the Bills to add. Right. I don't think
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: he's the Batman to Groots Robin. I think he's another
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Robin or a night Wing. That's fine. You either need
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: another one of those guys. You need to need another
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Edge two, or you need a true one. I don't
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna be able to get a true one.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: A little bit of spoilers for the film room tomorrow.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm looking at guys like Boye, Mafe Kings,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: leannig Bare, even somebody like Jacob Martin, who had think
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: is more of a He's not a two and he's
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: not a Robin, but I think he could be a
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: very good rotational three to function in there. Who knows.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe this system shift is good for Javon Solomon and
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: his speed and athleticism and bend and juice and moves
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: start to work, you know, as that two point stance
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: off the edge, we start to see some of that
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: productivity that he showed at Troy. But I think that's
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: still hope and if we just really haven't seen much
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: from him as a player, good or bad, So I
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: don't want to put my eggs into that basket. And again,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: they were gonna have to add to this position, even
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: if the defense made the same. I'm gonna keep saying
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: that we've talked about on the show, right, like you were,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: They're gonna add to the d line regardless, Daikwon, Jones gone,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Larry Ogan, Joe be gone, Joey Bosa gone, aj Avanessa gone.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Like granted, you could bring some of those guys back
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: if you wanted to, but even if everything stayed the
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: same schematically, they were still going to have to add
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: to the defensive line. They have to add to the
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: defensive line. Now now it's just different body types, right,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: It is some different play types. It is some different playstyles.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: It's all that kind of stuff. It is that idea
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: of you know, again, hey, we are changing some things
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: a bit, and I don't think I don't think it's
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: as drastic as it's kind of made out to be. Again,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: they were going to have to add to the defense regardless.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: But now you're just adding to the defense with the
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: differences in what we're seeing right, the differences in skill set, playstyle,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: body type, all that kind of stuff like that is changing.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: So there we were going to be having a similar
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: conversation if if the Bill stayed pat and had Sean
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: McDermott and did everything there. But again they changed, So
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I just got to bring in different body types across
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: the defensive line. But defensive line is high high high, high,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: high priority, very urgent, arguably the top for me, and
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: I think probably the top linebackers right there with it
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: we're's going to talk about in a minute, just because
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I think, again, I think Leonard's gonna raise the floor,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: but I do think you need certain body types and
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: skill sets to unlock the potential and ceiling for the
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: scheme and structure. Right, Mike McDonald, let's use that Seattle
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: leeve as an example. Right, Like Mike McDonald, great mind,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: great scheme, great structure. He's also got a ton of
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: horses and velociraptors on that defense that allow him to
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: do what he does. Right, Being able to have Devin Witherspoon,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: being able to have Byron Murphy, DeMarcus, Lawrence, Derek Hall,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Leonard Williams, China, Nuwosu Boye mafe, Ernest Jones, Kobe Bryant,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Julian love Em and Worry Woolen Josh Job. Like they
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: the the body types and the skill sets allow the
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: scheme and the structure to maximize. They each maximize each other, right,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I think Leonards defense will maximize guys along with his
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: game planning and play calling and all that. Right, everything
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: that he is in totality, But I think he needed
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: the right body types and skill sets and play styles
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: to maximize his defense. So you get essentially a chicken,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: you know, chicken egg scenario of positivity and good stuff.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Padden says, insert down, insert verb, and add hashtag edgement's
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: happy offseason. I appreciate you, Padden. For those who don't know,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Pad and I have a very long running joke of
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: just how everything can be solved by moving Tremaine Edmonds
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: to edge. This goes back to the conversation when you know,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: because he had some sacks of Virginia tech, people thought
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: he should be moved to you know, outside linebacker spot
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: let him rush off the edge, blitz more. He could
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: win one on one pass rushing stuff. He shouldn't be
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: a middle linebacker, shouldn't be an off the ball type
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: of dude. In mcdermot's defense, I appreciate you, Pat, and
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: thank you very much. The super chet, thank you very
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: much for being here. Uh Noah says a dafe Oh wait,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I really like a dafae O. I like him at
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Penn State. I love that he kind of put things
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: together this year, especially once he got traded to the Chargers.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna cost too much his size,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: athleticism frame, and then this this bit of production. I
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: still think there's a higher ceiling to be had for him.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get paid on the open market
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: and it's just gonna take him out of the bills Wheelhouse.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Charles's quitty Pay. Uh yeah, I wouldn't hate the idea
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: of quitty pay. I think he's more of a rotational guy.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I don't I think he's like a step below the Batman.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: He's definitely a step below the Batman tier multiple. I
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: don't even know if he's in the Robin or night
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Wing tier. I think he's more of a solid rotational guy.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't be opposed to it, especially for the right price,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: but not at the top of my list. And Patten says, yeah,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Edmunds might be cut by the Bears. There are some
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: rumors floating around. I don't know if they were real
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: or troll account stuff, but yeah, there are are some
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: some rumors. And Argie says edgements to the Edge will
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: finally complete the prophecyat Yes, Harper says, do you think
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Hoyt and Groot will be able to hold up to
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: what leonards defense asks of Edges as far as coverage goes? Yeah,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I think Groot is fine enough in coverage that he
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: can survive their HEIGHTT. I think can. He got a
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: ton of coverage reps when he was with the Rams.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I think you would like a bit more fluidity and
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: a bit more athleticism and change the direction I should
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: say non athletic, not necessarily athleticism. I think you'd like
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: a bit more fluidity and change in direction, change direction
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: capability than you have with gruten HOIIGHTT, but I think
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: they can be fine, especially with Agan. How much you're
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: gonna work in the four down nickel stuff. I just
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: think you need to add to them because of what
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: they are. You need some different body types with that,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: so you gotta you have Grouten HEIGHTT right, You gotta
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: juice up your edge grouping a little bit. You gotta
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: have some guys that can bring explosion, tenacity, just a
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: different play style off the edge. You can't just have
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: a bunch of thumpers and pocket compression guys off the edge.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: You need to add to that room from a complimentary
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: stand point, with skill set and play style. So I'm
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: fine with those two again, even if point was completely healthy,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: that's a great start. I'm cool with Hoyton group. You
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: gotta add juice. You need juice. I would like some juice,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: some bend, some fluidity, some change of direction, some cool
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. Ben says, is he a commission He's
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: a commissioner Gordon. Yeah, maybe, I don't know. Commissioner Gordon's
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: pretty sweet. I don't want to sell Gordon short. He
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't have any powers, but Gordon's pretty sweet. That's funny. Yeah, yeah,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: so yeah, That's where I'm at for my defensive line,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: uh conversation at this point, right, I think Walking can
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: be fine at knows. I'd like not notice as he's
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: cyborg or beast play that's funny. I'd like to I
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: think Walker can moonlight moonlight as a nose. I don't
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: want him having to do the full time duties there
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: I And then again, depending on what you do with Walker,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: I think is a fun domino. If he's gonna moonlight
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: at nose, fine, get a true nose to eat the run,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: defense snaps with him and play in rotation and then
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: get yourself a true four I right. If Walker is
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: gonna move the four I cool, get yourself two noses
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: or you know another four I who can do a
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: good chunk of work at nose. That would be fair. Again,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I would even be find Give me Roy Lopez and
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: David Anyamata, and then you've got a bunch of flexibility
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: on that. Give me Roy Lopez and JFM. Now you've
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: got flexibility between a hit between those two and Walker,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: You've got flexibility between nose and four eye out front
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: even front stuff. A lot of fun, a lot of
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: possibilities there. Charles has all Veloci, Raptor, free agency, draft,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Chanal Mafey, Alani Taylor, Keante Scott and then Ponds man.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Ponds is such a I hate using this, but yeah,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: pomp I'm not Ponds isn't a dog. Ponds is a raptor. Yeah.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Corner from Indiana and then Kiante Scott all day, all day.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: You know me, I'm a Miami guy all day. Kante
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Scott pure Raptor, Raptor bl runs through Keyante Scott zavanes.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love that. So that's where I'm at on
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: defensive line. Let's talk linebacker. I know this was high
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: up there for a couple other people who were talking
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: earlier in the episode. In the chat, I think linebacker
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: is twofold. I think you need you need a true
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: starter opposite of Trel Bernard, and I also think you
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: need flexibility and hybridization in that my dream for the
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: linebacker spot, I think this team needs needs in an
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: ideal world, Caden Ellis or Leo Chanel that is who.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I think you need. Someone who can play off ball
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: as an inside linebacker and the odd front stuff. Someone
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: who's a good blitzer between the tackles, someone who's a
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: good blitzer off the edge, and someone who can line
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: up on the edge and rush and attack a tackle,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: can spike play games. You need that hybridization, You need
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: that versatility, guys who can wear multiple hats from a
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: schematic functionality perspective, and a defensive fluidity stamp right you
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: want to walk somebody down to the line because you
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: know motion, change the offensive surface or the alignment of formation. Cool,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: you can do it. You want to blit somebody through
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: the a gap. Cool. You want somebody to spike and
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: crush a guard or a tackle. Cool. You want to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: line them up straight up off the edge and let
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: them rush. Cool. You want to drop him into coverage
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: anywhere from the flat to the hook girls. Cool, give
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: me kayden Ellis, give me Leoshanal one of those dudes.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't have to be one of them. It
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: could be one of the Denver dudes. Like I know,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: some people like Extranad, some people like Singleton. They need
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: a true starter opposite of Terrel Bernard. Terrel Bernard is
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: even a question mark right Like the block deconstruction aspects
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: are a concern, The health is a concern. I do
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: think playing in more of a movement based defense instead
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: of like a sit and get static type of defense
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: will help him. But again this is part of why
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: you need a Roy Lopez on the interior. You need
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: JFM or David Anyamato, Sebastian Joseph Day. You need ass
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: kickers up front to prevent guys from getting to the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: second level and putting Torel Bernard in the ground regularly,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: which is what happened a ton last year because he
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: couldn't move and he was playing on one leg. But
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: it happened a little bit the year before and the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: year before that. Even when he's healthy, Bernard, I think
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: is going to be a starter, and you got to
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: get a true starter go along with him, right, somebody
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: who can play alongside him when you go into the
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: nickel stuff and you want like two off ball linebackers
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: in the box, right, but also somebody who in your
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: odd front stuff or again, let's get creative. From a
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: personnel standpoint, we can go dime, we can go nickel,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: we can do more of the the Jim Leonard four
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: down stuff in passing situations where you know Wisconsin, he
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: would go four down right nickel packers, so you got
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: five dbs on there. You'd have four down on the
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. But the two interior guys would be
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: defensive ends. The two outside guys were outside linebackers, and
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: then the two off ball guys were linebackers too, so
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: it would be you know, granted, Keanu Benton was pretty sick,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: so he could be one of the interior guys too,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: but you can have like in his defense, imagine the
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: two outside guys are Nick Herbig and Noah Burks, and
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: the two linebackers were Jack Samborn and leoshanal Right, that's
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: kind of what you want. You want somebody with that
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: flexibility to line up on the edge, line up in
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: the a gap at some point like Chanal did at
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin and even with Kansas City. Somebody to bring the
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: hammer going forward and be able to function and coverage.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: So Claude says, so this isn't a Dorian Williams opportunity. Dorian,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: I think is really interesting because I think he's fine
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: coming forward length, physicality, uses his hands, can deconstruct blocks
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: pretty well. Also has the ability to kind of line
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: up on the line of scrimmage as a SAM linebacker
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: from a run perspective. The issue with Dorian is you
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: can't line him up off the edge and rush as
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: like a true rusher off the edge. He's not beating
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: tackle from like a pass rush standpoint or a move standpoint.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Could he spike and cave somebody in sure? Could you
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: kind of use him as a you know, it's like
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: a red shell Mario Kart heats seeking missile type of deal. Sure,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: can he play a little inside linebacker in an odd
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: front and come forward and thump. Sure, But I worry
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: about him in two major ways. One like true pass
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: rush situations. I don't think he's offering you that. And
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: I still worry about him in coverage. You know, times
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: where he is covering grass, or he comes forward when
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: he shouldn't. Just being able to pick up different routes,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: match different things, especially with how much match coverage Jim
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Leonard likes to play. You got to be very, very
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: very sound in your rules and in your eyes and
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: in your processing what you're seeing it when you're seeing it,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: and how he's a really intriguing one. I still like
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: him more his depth and as a rotational guy. I
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: still think he's a guy you can get fun with
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: in sub package stuff. Right, you still work in the
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: odd mirror stuff. You can align him in the A
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: gap and let him pick center, or you know, do
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: some cross dog stuff with him from a known passing
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: down in distant situation. He I think is just very
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: sea ball get ball in a good way. Right. He's fast,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: he's athletic. He's got long arms, he's strong, he's violent, cool.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: I just don't think he has enough pass rush bag
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: to get you a bucket off the edge as a
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: true rusher, and I still worry about him in coverage.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: But I do think he can play a role. We'll
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: see linebacker again. I think is really interesting. You just
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: you need versatility. You need hybridization in your linebackers. You
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: need guys who again I'm gonna keep using that mold
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Cayden ellis the Oshanal. Guys who can line up on
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: the edge and even front looks. Guys who can line up,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: you know, and man on the line of scrimmage, even
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: front looks and man on the line of scrimmage, odd
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: front stuff inside linebacker stuff in an odd front, off
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: ball type of deal, off ball type of deal in
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: an even front. Right, somebody who can work from the
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: A to the C from a gap perspective. Right, Somebody
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: who can down, come, downhill and thump but still be
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: able to play some coverage in the hooked curls and
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: the flats. You need hybridization, You need versatility, basically like
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: what Michael Hoyt is at edge. You need that different
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: body type, right. But you need that at the linebacker spot, right,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: somebody who can do a little bit of everything from
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: an off ball and on the line perspective in a
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: variety of ways. That's what I think you need. John
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Robert in the comments on Facebook, you're saying, wo'd resigning
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Shack Thompson. Help. I like Shaq Thompson a lot. I
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: don't think he he I would be fine with him
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: as the starter if there wasn't Terrell Bernard, Neither him
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: or Bernard or guys where you're gonna line them up
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: on the edge and let them win his rushers off
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: the edge. So there is some limitation to what Bernard
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: brings and what Shack brings. But Shack checks the box
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: from a coverage standpoint and experience standpoint, and from some
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: downhill thump and block deconstruction standpoint. He's just not a
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: guy you can necessarily line up on the edge, right.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: I can't take him like Hayden, Ellie and Leo Chan Again,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep using those archetypes as the example. You
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: can't take Shack and line him up on the edge
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: in odd fronts or even fronts like you would with
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Elis or Chanel, right, but I would welcome shack back
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: with open arms. I actually think he might get paid
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit to be a starter. He was good
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: with Carolina. He just kept getting hurt, and he was
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: healthy this year for the most part for the Bills,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: and he was the best linebacker they had. He might
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: actually get paid. I don't know if they could be
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: able to afford him from a death perspective. And then
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: I just don't know if he has enough rush versatility
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: to give you everything holistically you need. You need more
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: in that bucket, even if it means it costs you
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit somewhere else. You need more in that bucket. Again,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: rush coverage, pass rush coverage, downhill thumb versus the run.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: That's what you need in this linebacker grouping now in
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: a multitude of ways. I think you need a true starter,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: and then I think you need depth alongside of it.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: You know, again, you need some true outside linebacker types
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: and some downhill thump off ball ability. So I think
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot added to this group somewhere.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Also along these lines. Right, whether defensive line is kind
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: of tough, but I think either at linebacker or safety,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: you are going to see Jim Leonard bring in somebody. Right.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: It might be JFM, you know, who played with him
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: at Denver. It might be Leo Schana or Jack Sambourne,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: both of those guys or UFAs who played for him
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: at Wisconsin. It might be PJ. Locke, who played safety
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: for him at Denver. Right, somewhere, somehow, some shape or form,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: somebody with Jim Leonard Ties will come to this Bill's
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: defense to be a starter. I expected to be at
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: the linebacker spot. I just don't know who. Again, it
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: could be, it could be Singleton. Somebody with Jim Leonard
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Ties is going to come to this defense at least
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: one guy, but it could be multiple. I'm just waiting.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: At some point, I think the linebacker spot's a good bet. Again,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: I think Leohan like it just makes too much sense
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: for the fit, the need the history with Leonard boom right,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: kayden nellis I Love doesn't have a history with Leonard
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Starnad does Singleton does? Right? Anybody from Denver, any ufa
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: from Denver is a candidate for the Bills. Anybody who
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: played at Wisconsin under Leonard, especially the dudes who thrived
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: there like Sam Porn, like Leo chanall right. Like if
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: Nick Herbig was a free agent, I'd say Nick Herbig
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: right now. If Kianu Benton was a free agent, I'd
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: say Keanu Benton right now. You know, I think that
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: there you will get some kind of Leonard connection in honestly,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: probably a multiple spots, especially because this is you know,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: like Leonard said, it's not gonna be some dramatic thing,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: but it is going to be a change. You want
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: to get your guys in there who can help be
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: some coaches on the field. You know, he was that
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: type of player. I think he's also gonna want that.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: You want guys in the locker room and on the
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: field who can help the guys along, who can you know,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: kind of hey get their head in the playbook, help
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: other guys get their head in the playbook. You want
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: guys that you're comfortable with, that you know are going
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: to go out there and do their job and make
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: your job easier. Guys who you know can execute and
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: will help other guys execute and do their job. Yeah.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: Pat Cay Morrice's manifest fan Ginkle, Yeah, I forgot Ihn
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Gkinkle was that Wisconsin.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: Could call good call, Good Call, Demante says, if our
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: linebackers were Leo Shanell and Jacob Rodriguez, how do you
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: like it?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: I would take Chanal. I watched a little bit of
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Jacob Rodriguez. I know he had a great senior Bowl.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched the tape to fully evaluate him yet,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: but anything that gets me Leo Shanal, I'll sign up for.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Charles says, I feel like the big Nickel hybrid is
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: coming back. Derwin, Kyle Hamilton, em and Warrior Witherspoon. It's
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: funny because Witherspoon is regular corner size, but he just
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: plays like a veloci raptor, so he feels bigger. I
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: think big Nickel is a true skeleton key. I wonder
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: how many teams are going to chase it, like, for example,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: like how high does Jalen kilgorgo from South Carolina this year.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: He's more of a big Nickel type of role, type
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: of deal. The issue is just getting the right body
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: types right. Like Irwin, I don't consider Witherspoon a big Nickel,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: even though I don't necessarily think big nickel, even though
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: bigg is in the name, I don't think necessarily mean size.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: It's just dudes who can play big, and Witherspoon definitely
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: does that. But Derwin, Hamilton and m and Worry they're
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: both kind of unicorns, or all three of those dudes
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: in unicorns. Kyle Hamilton is Kyle Hamilton, German, James Derwin, James,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: nick Emmin Worry is nick Emin Warriy. Like, it's hard
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: to match those size and frame and athleticism, you know, archetypes,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: body types, skill sets, traits all in one type of thing.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: But I do think Big Nickel is a huge, huge, huge,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: huge huge skeleton key. Again, that's part of why Leonard
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: when he was with Wisconsin. You know, the linebackers that
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: he had had such versatility like Sanborn, Chanal Van Ginkel,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Herbig Noah Burks, like these type of dudes. He tapped
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: in to the linebackers as his hybridized nature. So even
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: when he was in Nickel, he was in Nickel. But
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: the front again was you had outside linebackers on the edge,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: and then you had linebackers. But you had linebackers off
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: ball and then linebackers on the edge, so it was
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: like who's rushing, who's dropping. You have guys who can
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: slant inside, guys who can be movement players, Guys who
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: can win around the arc, guys who can go speed
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: to power a little bit. Guys but moves hand usage,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: can peel off and cover a running back or just
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: straight drop into coverage. You can have simulated pressures, creepers,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: true five man stuff, true four down stuff. You know, again,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a big nickel for him. It was tying
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: into the hybridization of the linebackers that he had. I
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: just think in the NFL it's been more of that
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: big nickel piece and yeah, if you can get it,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's a huge skeleton key. And I'm wondering
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: how many teams push for that and try and find
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: the next big nickel and if it puts them in
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: a bad spot, Like, do teams kind of value that
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: those traits to a spot where you know, guys are
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: starting to go early earlier than they should maybe because
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: it's like wow, like I didn't expect that safety to go,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: or I didn't expect that undersized linebacker to go, and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, they're gonna try and play them
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: at big nickel. They value the traits, they value the
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: skill set type of stuff. Then your follow up here, Yeah,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: Charles saying Bishop has the skills to be a great
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: big nickel. I didn't like his fit in mcdermot's defense
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: because I thought he was better suited as an apex,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: big nickel monster man type of dude like he was
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: at Utah. I still think he's best suited for that.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: In an ideal, ideal world for me, Cole Bishop would
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: be the big nickel for the Buffalo Bills, and they
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: would have two different safeties. I've continued to say, and
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: that's not necessarily a knock on Tarran. I just think
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: a big nickel is a skeleton key and unlocks a
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: lot for you. And I think Cole Bishop, if he
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: was if he was big nickel, if that was his role,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: if he was that apex player, I think it unlocks
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: him a little bit and helps the defense out tremendously.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: From a dictation and matchup standpoint piece, From a you know,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: matchup proof standpoint piece, Marlin says, how do you feel
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: about resigning uh matdams Milano on a similar deals last
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: season in drafting Rodriguez in the second round. I don't
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: hate it, but I just don't love his Milano's fit
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: in the defense. I just need I need more. I
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: need more of a linebacker opposite of Terrell Bernard, who
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: has more one on one rush capability, bucket getting capability
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: off the edge. That's kind of just where I'm at.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: I don't I think Milano went again and started showing
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: that he was healthy and played well last year. I
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: just don't think his fit in this defense given the
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: current archetypes they have and what they need to add,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: is the right fit necessarily right. I don't think he's
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: a downhill thump kind of guy. He's similar to Barard,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: where it's an undersized linebacker. You have to win with movement,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: you have to win with penetration. Block deconstruction is sometimes
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: an issue. Health has kind of been an issue, right,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: and then also just there are limitations to his skill set.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: He's very athletic, he's a heat seeking missile, but I
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: think in an odd or hybrid front there are limitations
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: to how you can use him. And again, the block
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: deconstruction and the thump I think is kind of of
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: an issue in addition to the limitations elsewhere, which is
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: a shame for me because he's been my favorite Bill
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: for a long time. What's Nicholas Nichols saying Kilgore and VJ.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Pain should go higher than anticipate in the draft that
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: they even test remotely. Well, I think that is a
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: fair point. No as saying I really do think we
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: draft CJ. Allen from Georgia twenty six. He definitely gives
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: you the downhill thump coverage I think can be a
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: little wonky. I have to fully evaluate him, and I
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna give you that. He's not
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: gonna give you that off ball or that that edge
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: rushing presence. But you know, again, if you if it's CJ.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: Allen and Terrell Bernard and then you you sign Enigbare
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: and boy A Mafe and draft yourself another edge. If
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: you get flexibility and versatility at the edge spot on
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: the outside or like Arnold Abaquetti or something like that,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: you get yourself some juice and athleticism and flexibility in
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: that spot you could do, you know well with those things.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: I just think getting again, getting somebody like Chanel or Ellis,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: I think just increases and unlocks the hybridization of your
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: front in general, with what you can do from even
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: looks looks, run fit stuff, early down stuff and known
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: passing down in distances and situations. That's fair thought, very
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: fair thought. Next position, because we talked about it a
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: little bit. Actually, no, I'm gonna stay in order. I
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: have wide receiver up here. I don't think there's anything
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: crazy right now. I think a lot of people think
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: wide receivers need probably because it is. I think this
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: one's short and sweet, but a high priority. You need
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: field stretching and bucket getters at wide receiver. You need
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: somebody to help the offense breathe. You need somebody that
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: you can push the ball downfield to who can win downfield,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: who could threaten defenses, stretch defenses, catch the ball downfield,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: and dudes who are just who can win one on
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: one in a variety of ways. Right now. This could
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: be in one guy, or it could be multiple guys.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: You just need somebody or somebody's who can create some
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: easy buttons for you via spacing and matchups. That's it again.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: You could get a legitimate like if you trade for
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Cool. There it is, field stretcher, bucket getter.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: You're good, right, Alec Pierce, field stretcher, bucket getter. Michael Pittman.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: I think he's a guy. Who can get you a bucket.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't call him a field stretcher, but he can
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: win downfield because he's athletic, he's got good hands, and
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: he knows how to use his body. I do think Pittman.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: I do think Pittman is a middle to high end
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: wide receiver two type of guy, and that's a fine
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: guy to add. I still think you need to add
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: field stretching right Honestly, it's not ideal, But like Brandon
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Cooks and Michael Pittman, cool, welcome back, that's fun. You
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: need some combination of field stretching and bucket getters. That's it.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: And again, it could be all in one guy, it
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: could be in multiple guys. I do think you're gonna
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: need multiple editions at wide receiver. Tyrol Shavers is likely
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: out for the year or out for a very long
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: time because of his injury that occurred against Jacksonville. I
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: think Curtis Samuel is an easy and realistic cut candidate
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: just because he can't stay on the field, and when
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: he is on the field, he's not being used a ton,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna need to add two receivers right there.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: They brought in Brandon Cooks, he's seeing significant snaps. Yeah,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: I think you need to add at least two wide receivers,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: and I think that comes via free agency or trade
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: and the draft. You need to add at least two
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. So both guys could be speed. Both guys
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: could be bucket getters. Both guys could be a combination
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: of speed and bucket getters. It could be one of one,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: it could be whatever. But you need guys to strike
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: fear into a defense in some way, shape or form.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: It's got to be somebody where the defense is either like, oh,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: do we got to put a safety over the top
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: for that guy, or some the defense is like, oh, well,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: we can't leave that dude one on one backside in
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: a three by one because dude just wins. It's got
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: to be something like that. And again, that could be
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: all one guy, right. It could be one dude whor
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh man, we need to shade over the
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: top be was he's super fast and he could also
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: route you up in the underneath the intermediate. Oh we
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: need to give some help. It could be a true one.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: It could be a high end three and a high
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: end two. It could be two middle of the road twos,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: it's just got It could be Michael Pittman and Rashid
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: Shaheed like it could be some combination. I think you
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: need multiple dudes at wide receiver, and I think it's
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: a high priority. The Bills offense ran through the run,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: no pun intended. The guy who called the run game
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: and designed the run game is Aaron Kromer, and he
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: is gone. So even if everything with the run game
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: stayed the same, and you knew it was going to
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: be sick again, and you knew it was going to
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: be one of the best in the league, and you
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: knew James Cook was going to lead the league in rushing,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: if you got everything that you got last year, right,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: even with all that, not having dues at wide receiver
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: in some shape or form cost this Bill's offense and
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: made the Bills offense get stuck in the mud more
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: often than it should have. Right, If the offense can't breathe,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: if defenses can just walk down guys into the box
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: and play numbers, the run game is gonna suffer and
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough sledding. And if the Bills couldn't
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: run the ball, they tended to have a lot of
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: problems offensively this year and the year before, right, So
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: get yourself from dudes on the outside. It's not just
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: for the past game in a vacuum. It is, but
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: it also helps the run game. That's also partly why.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: I Ideally you're getting guys who are top of the
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: depth chart, guys who are gonna see regular snaps. Ideally,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: you're not just adding gadget guys or gimmick guys who
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: when they come in, like Curtis Samuel would come in
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: and everybody's like, Okay, cool, he's either going to run
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: across the field or he's gonna run vertical, right, because
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: he wasn't in there regularly. Ideally, you're adding guys on
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: the field, or adding guys who are going to be
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: on the field regularly. So it's like, hey, they might block, Hey,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: they might run underneath. Hey, they might run in the intermediate,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: they might push vertical, they might Like you need to
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: again create c increase the variability and the unknown factor,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: and I think you get multiple guys with the wide
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: receivers spot Ideally, guys who can stretch the field, guys
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: who were bucket getters. It could be a combination, it
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: could be you know, all in one for one guy
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: multiple guys. It could be one in one guys who
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: lean one way or the other, but they're still good
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: enough in the other areas to be top of the
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: depth chart type of dudes. I'm fine with Josh Palmer
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: as a player, I'll touch on that briefly. I just
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: don't think he's meant to be top of the depth
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: chart guy. I thought he was a fine complimentary piece.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: I think he can beat man coverage well in the underneath,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: in the intermediate, but he was a career wide receiver
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: three at the Chargers. I think he can moonlight as
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: a two at times against the right defense and in
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: the right situation. But Josh Palmer should not be the
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: guy at the top of your depth chart. Kean Coleman
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: should not be the type guy at the top year
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: depth chart. Right now. We know what Khalil Shakira is,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: and I think he's a really great auxiliary piece and
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: useful piece. But you need guys ahead of him, right.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: I think in an ideal world, In an ideal ideal world,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: Josh Palmer is your three. You've got two guys ahead
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: of him. Right in an ideal world. For me, you've
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: got two guys at the top, then it's Shakir and
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Palmer and Kean Coleman for this year. That's my ideal thought.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: But it's gonna be tough to get that done, I think,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. I wanted to go back to this
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: from Charles who said Dobbs, I mean Romeo Dobbs. What's
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: a top sixty pick? I like Romeo Dobbs. I don't
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: think it necessarily helps you from a field stretching standpoint,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: but I do. I do think I does. I do
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: think he can help you from a bucket getter standpoint.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: He is somebody who I trust to separate. I think
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: he's more like a better version Josh Palmer. Again, not
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: somebody who's gonna win downfield, like you have to add
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: a field stretcher to Dobbs, like, it's gotta be again
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: top sixty pick. Cool. It could be him and Brennan
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: Thompson like from Mississippi State, or it's it's Dubs and
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed like it's I'm gonna keep using that because
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: of the archetype with that Shahi is. It can be
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: Dubbs plus plus a field stretcher. You gotta add that element.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think Dobbs is that field stretcher by himself,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: but I do think he has some semblance of a
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: bucket getter that can that can do that for you,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: which is fun. So I wouldn't hate that. But that
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: top sixty pick then has to be a field stretcher.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: He's got to have verticality. He's got to have the
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: ability to strike fear into defenses if he goes deep,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: and he's got to be able to win deep. It's
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: not just like, oh he's fast. He's got to be
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: able to track the ball, come down with it, go
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: up get it. Because Alan Alan's been a not good
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: deep ball thrower. So you gotta have some dudes who
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: can win for you a little bit. Guys who can
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: go up, play through contact, go up high point the football,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: make the catch, know when to stop and come back through.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe draw some pass interference, even though I hate that
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: as a defensive guy, I hate that. I hate that
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: pass interference gets called on dbi's on underthrown balls and garbage.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: But you need somebody with some type of nuance and
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: ability downfield. It can't just be speed. But yeah, so
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: Dubbs what's the tops sixty pick? With that top sixty pick,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: as this pick has to lean speed for me, yes,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: IDL seven one six, As he can't have all five
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: ten route runners. That's fair by Noah says he wants
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: two elite wide receivers. I would like that. But yeah,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, Charles Charles and Sign Cooks and Dubbs draft
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Brennan Thompson Round two. Not sexy, but it works. I
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: think Brendan Thompson is a sexy I think he's His
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: speed is crazy. His speed is crazy crazy. He runs
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: past dudes with ease. He's also got a decent amount
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: of nuance. I don't think he's got a full route tree,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: but I don't think he's I don't think he's just
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: a vertical guy or a speed guy. But yeah, I
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: think I think that would be sexy. I think Dubbs, Brennan,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: Brennan Thompson is very sexy that that. I would say that,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: as Luke says, ideally, Palmer's wide receiver four. But I
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: have a feeling he'll be as yeah or or he'll
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: get some stuff at X. I think Palmer gonna end
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: up being the wide receiver two. I think the top
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: four is gonna end up being somebody Josh Palmer, Khalil
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: shakir Key on Coleman. I think that's what the top
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: four is gonna end up being. But I ideally, I
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: think you need two guys ahead of Palmer. I'm not
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: changing Seki's wide receiver three. I'm just talking about in
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: the functionality and the role that he plays. Joey says,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: if Iyuk is available, would you take a swing? I'm
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: the skill set and ability sure on everything else, No,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: I don't. They can't afford to take a swing on
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: too much of an unknown quantity, and with everything that
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: went down with Ayuk and San Francisco, even going back
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: some years like when he was still balling out he
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: was in the doghouse with Kyle Shanahan before that. I
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: just think there's a lot of smoke to that fire
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: and they can't afford to get that position wrong, especially
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: for what Ayuk is going to command from a monetary
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: perspective and a cap hit perspective. So for me, no,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're in a position to take that risk.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: Granted it could work out and he could be amazing,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: I just think it's too risky. I can't take can't
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: take it. Ticket to say is what about Christian Kirk
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: from the Texans. Sure he has that deep guy and
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: that role player, but then again you need to add
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: a true top of the depth chart guy with him.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: He think he can be the complimentary piece. He can
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: be your Rashid Shahid.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: It could be Christian Kirk and Michael Pittman like that's cool, right,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: But could be Christian Kirk and now Pierce. That would
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: be really fun. I think Kirk is more of a
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: wide receiver three or four, but I would welcome him again.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: I'll take speed in any former fashion at this point.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's fair. Yeah, we're an agreement there. Oh
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: I see you saying, Oh for sure, Yeah, we're an
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: agreement there. No, it says would you trade for Christian Watson?
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: It depends on what it costs. In theory. Yes, he
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: gets injured a bunch though, which really scares me. But yeah,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: I like Christian Watson. I think he's a dude who
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: wins downfield, glides past dudes, and who can also go
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: up and make some places. So my top three as
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: of right now really a top four. We've gotten a
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: three of already right defensive line overall, again, that encompasses
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: multiple spots. Linebacker kind of accompasses multiple spots. Wide receiver
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: the next one I'm giving in And this is real simple
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: as well. I said that about wide receiver that we
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: talk about it a lot, but that's because a lot
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: of folks that comments in a good way. Offensive Line
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: I think is a high priority. Yeah, and as Todd says,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: you know Christian Watson, Yeah, he's always hurt, which is
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: again unknown quantity, best abilities, availability, and he's heard a
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: lot of injuries and the injuries he gets are like
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: nagging ones that also keep him out for a ton
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: or really hinder him. And that's been for years since
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: he's been in the league. Offensive line, real simple. The
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: offensive line has been super important to this Bills team.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: It's important to every team, right The trenches tend to
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: usually be what decides games. See the Super Bowl. Granted
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: there was more two than that, but the offensive line
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: has mattered so much to the Bills. The run game
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: has mattered so much to the Bills. Right now, you
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: don't have a starting center, and you don't have a
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: starting left guard. Are you filling that internally? Cool? Then
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: you need to replace the depth or are you filling
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: it externally? Whatever it's it's just very important. I don't
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: think much needs to be said here. I don't think
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: I need to give some revelatory or nuanced take. Offensive
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: lines are important in football in general. Offensive line to
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: the bills is very important. We saw the impact that
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: all the pass protection stuff had on Josh Allen this
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: past year in a negative way. I don't want to
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: regress for this team where it's back to what like
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, where Josh Allen's fighting for his
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: life and kind of figuring out what goes on. And
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: as yet you guys are saying in the chat, sure
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: it could be keep Connor McGovern. I just think he's
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: gonna get paid paid. And the center is important though,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: and he does a lot mentally, and he's good for
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, I think if I had to pick one,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: i'd probably pick McGovern and over Edwards. Edwards is so
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: technically sound. I also think Edwards will be cheaper. But yeah,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: you the offensive line at those spots right again, if
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: you bring back both cool, I think they Realistically, I
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: think they have a better shot of losing both than
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: getting one or the other. But I do think there's
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: a shot that they'll get one. It's gonna be tough, though.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: I think McGovern's gonna get paid. I think there's a
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: chance David Edwards gets paid after he was pretty good
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: for the Bills for a good chunk of time these
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: past several years. And he's a Cromer disciples so he
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: might be like, oh, Chromer's gone, I'm bouncing. I think
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: I can get paid elsewhere. Plus you know my guy
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: is gone, I'm gonna leave. So maybe they don't even
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: have a shot at him in general, maybe they do
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: from a govern but yeah, offensive line, I don't think
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: anything crazy here, nothing to really dive into. I think
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: this is a very high priority because the run game
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: is still what stirs the drink for the Bills offense,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: and you need to protect Josh Allen and offensive line
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: high high priority, so the top or for me. Again,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: I don't even I'm not even gonna get into rank
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: in them because it's it's just gonna hurt my head.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: But defensive line, linebacker, wide receiver, and offensive line are
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: the top priorities for me right now. Coming in just
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: behind offensive line is safety. I don't think anything revelatory here.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: I think you need to start our opposite of cool Bishop,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: preferably a Rangeye as I've said this a million times, uh,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: preferably a Rangye ballhawk based safety who is a very
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: good safety in the post who can go numbers to numbers, right,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: numbers to sideline, hash to hash easily, hash to numbers, whatever.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: Somebody who is more coverage based than Downhill, down in
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: the box based. But somebody who do who do? Who does?
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: Who does? Need to tackle? I think Taylor Rapp will
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: be cut. I don't have faith in Jordan Hancock as
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: that starting safety. Could he be down the line, sure?
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: Could he be this year? Sure? I'm just not there
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: right now. Maybe he's the backup nickel to Tarran. Maybe
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You need a starting safety opposite of
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: cold Bishop. Before anybody says it, I know this guy
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: got a lot of traction Genesis Smith safety from Arizona awesome,
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: you know, post safety, awesome in coverage, he glides, he's
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: got great range man does he just is he just
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: so underwhelming as a tackler in any way shape or
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: for him? Like I not even that he's a bad tackler.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think he wants to tackle, and that scares
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: the hell out of me. So but again, you need
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: somebody to pair with cold Bishop. I think cold Bishop
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: is again in Jim Leonard defense. You're gonna get a
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: lot of single high stuff. You're gonna get a lot
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: of Cover one, You're gonna get a lot of Cover three.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: You'll still get some split field stuff in some quarters
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: and some match stuff in that way. But give me
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: a safety who is comfortable the post that allows cold
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: Bishop to be the down safety more often. Let Cole
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Bishop live in the box, spin down, post snap, stay
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: there pre snap, or stay their post snap after being
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: their pre snap, whatever. Let Cole Bishop live in the hook,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: curls the curl of flats, let him buzz down, let
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: him man cover tight ends around the line of scrimmage,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: let him blitz, let him rush all that type of stuff. Yeah,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: as Ryan in the chat says, yeah, and Ed Reid
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Ronnie Lot's safety, and Ronnie Lock could cover though like
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: and but Ronnie Lock could cover way better than he
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: gets credit for. And Ed Reid before he jacked up
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: his neck, Ed Reid had the same neck injury. Again,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: This is my favorite player of all time. Ed Reid
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: had the same neck injury the Peyton Manning had. Manning
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: chose to have the surgery, which is what caused the
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: nerve impigement issues, which is why he lost all the
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: strength in his arm and couldn't throw at the end.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Ed Reid chose to not have surgery, and he chose
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: to strengthen the hell out of it, which is why
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: his final years in Baltimore, ed Reid's traps were like
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: up to his ears, like he's strengthened the hell out
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: of his delts and his neck muscles and upper back
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: muscles and everything to try and protect that nervousue that
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: he had in his neck. But before that, Ed Reid
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: could hit. Ed Reider to me is the best safety
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: of all time. You know, obviously what he did is
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: a coverage as a coverage player. You know the joke,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: like you know, two thirds of the earth are covered
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: by water, the other third is covered by ed Reid.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: But dude could hit. He could blitz, He could tackle
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: tight ends, receivers could light him up, could light up
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: running backs. Watch him shoot and trigger against the Miami
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: Dolphins early in his career and up end Ricky Williams
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: when Ricky Williams was a huge monster of a running
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: back with Miami. Yeah, and Ronnie Lock could cover like crazy.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: Good Man, that that safety tandem. You could do anything
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: with Ed Reid and Ronnie Lock. That will be crazy, crazy, crazy,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: crazy crazy. I would love that, man, I got be
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: so excited. Tot's is Bob Sanders, Oh my god, Yeah,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: pull the bop there you go, speed, physicality, velociraptor all day.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think oh, Charles's head reading Sean Taylor, Man,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. Yeah r P Sean Taylor shout out to Miami. Yeah.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: I think you need a true starting safety, one who leans,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: who skews more towards coverage. Again, can't be too siloed.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want Genesis Smith because you still need somebody
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: who can play in the box and somebody who can
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: still tackle and come fit the run from depth or
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: already in the box. Right. I don't want somebody who's
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: completely siloed. I don't want to pure finesse safety, but
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: someone who leans more towards coverage. The example I'm going
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: to keep giving is, you know, granted Hide and Poyer
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: were both pretty interchangeable. I think they need they need
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: more Micah Hyde than they do Jordan Poyer. That's what
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: you need, right, someone with more that center field ability,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: great routes to the football, great ball tracking, that ability
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: to play deep, processed route distributions and make those players.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: Poyer could do it as well. Right. Poyer is cool,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: but Hide was more of that guy. Poyer was more
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: of the down box safety. Granted they could each do both,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: cover the slot, do all this fun stuff they were. Again,
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: I'm in an amazing tandem and arguably the best tandam
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: in the league for years. But yeah, you need you
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: need more of a rangy ballhawk compliment to call Bishop
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: somebody who can really excel as the single high post
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: safety and unlock Bishop and let him do his thing.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty cut and dry for safety. I think
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: that's a high priority. I also think you need depth
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: in general. Right. I still don't know what Jordan Hancock is.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: If he's your safety three, cool, I guess I'd rather
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: have Jordan Hancock be your safety four. So I think
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: you need to address this safety spot at the top.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: Need a true starter, and again, it could be a
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: variety of guys. I really love I love Kobe Bryant
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: from Seattle. I think he's just gonna cost a pretty penny.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: I really like Jalen Thompson from Arizona. I'm gonna be
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: providing a lot of tape on him in the coming
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: days on social and then be breaking him down in
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: the film room next week. And I'd be fine with PJ. Lock,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: but you need a true starter and then the a
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: lot of guys that you guys are thrown out names
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: uh in the chat yet Bishop Fitzgerald from USC. There's
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: also Kamari Ramsey from USC, even though he played more
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: slot this past year, Bud Clark safety from TCU, Zakey
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: Wheatley from Penn State. There's a lot of potential for
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: the dudes there. So I think the safety class is
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: good enough where you can find a starter on day
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: two or maybe early day three. But again, it's got
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: to be the right skill set, it's got to be
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: the right complimentary piece. Nicole Bishop, I would love Kobe Bryant,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna cost too much. But that
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: would be sick. Uh. Okay, we did receiver, a line
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: D line linebacker, safety. Hold on, let me go to
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: my banners D line linebacker, wide receiver, safety, offensive line.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: This next one cornerback tight end. These are auxiliary ones
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: for me. Cornerback I think is real simple. You need
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: a corner three. Christian Benfords had an injury history. Max
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: Harriston is smaller and undersized and got banged up multiple
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: times as a rookie. And that position in general is
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: a position where you can never have too much depth
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: and is probably gonna get hurt at some point anyway.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: So you need a You need a legit corner three,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: someone who is cool to step in mid game play
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: for a good stretch. If Benford or Harriston goes down
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you need somebody to be able to
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: stem the tie. You need a legit corner three. I
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen with Dorian Strong, but I
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: think you need a legit corner three. I would I
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: would welcome back Trey White, but I think you need
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: like a true corner three who's here for a good haul.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: From a time perspective, you need a true corner three
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: tight end. To Claude's comment in the in the comments, yes,
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: Reblanket Ship is also a free agent. Nicholas. I see
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: your comment there on them and the safety from Oregon
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: formerly a Penn state. That's funny, yeah, I Charles' is
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: the segment is called day three of the draft, so
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: quarter you need a true CB three tight end. I
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: think is really interesting. Talked about it a bunch. I
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: think Dawson Knox is Again, what I'm about to say
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: is not revelatory. He makes too much money. His cap
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: hit is seventeen seventeen point eight six eight million dollars
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: this year. That is far too high. If they designate
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: him as a post June first release, there's a dead
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: cap hit of six point five million this year and
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: two point three million next year. But you save eleven
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: point three million dollars this year if you designate him
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: as a post June first release or a post June
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: first trade. Pre June first release not ideal from a
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: dead cap perspective, also not ideal from a pre June
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: first trade as well. So I think he's he can
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: be a candidate for a restructure. He could be a
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: candidate for a cut. My only issue with Dawson Knox
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: is if you cut Dawson Knox, you have to replace
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. And when I say replace Dawson Knox, I
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: mean the person who is the bridge between daltonkin Caid
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: and Jackson Hawes. Dalton kin Caid mismatch creator. A tight
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: end is essentially a a big wide receiver. All jokes aside,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: that's what he is. You cannot play him in line,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: or you can, but you can't run towards him. Teams know,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: if you're putting him in line, you're probably running away
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: from him. He's just not that type of dude who
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: can handle thumping linebackers or defensive ends. He might be
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: able to wash down a defensive end right if you
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: put him on the line, but again, you're running away
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: from him. You can put him on the line, say
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: he's in line right next to Spencer Brown on the
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: right side of the line of scrimmage. You know, you're
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: probably running mid zone week the other way because you're
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: not gonna run to Dalonkin Kate. You're not gonna run
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: strong side zone. You're not gonna have him. You know,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: maybe do some pin and poll stuff and have him
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: trying to pin the defensive end inside and you're probably
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: not gonna run duo to his side either, because if
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: he asks to deal with you know, a thumping safety
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: or linebacker or a defensive end. You don't want that either.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: So Dawson Dalton Kin Kate is not the type of
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: dude you can line up in line and Jackson Hawes
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: love him, awesome, dude, He's still limited as a pass
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: catcher right now. I think he can do more as
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: a pass catcher than he gets credit for, but he's
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: not the pass catching threat. From an athleticism and you
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: know spacing standpoint that Kinkaid or Knoxes granted, knock drops
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: the ball a whole bunch, but haw has had some
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: this year as well. So Dawson Knox I think bridges
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: the gap well. Right. He doesn't block as good as
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: Jackson Hawes, but he's a more legitimate pass catching threat.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: He's not as much of a pass catching threat in
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: Miss Smatch creator is dal Kinkaid, but he's a much
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: more legitimate blocker. You can line up Dawson Knox in line,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: you can have him be hipped off, you can have
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: them being like a dirty bunch. You can put him
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: in the slot a little bit. There's a bunch of
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: stuff you can do with Dawson Knox in both the
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: run and the pass that whereas you have Hawes and Kinkaid.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: Both of those duels are a little more siloed. Comment
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: there from IDL seven to six. Yeah, Kenyan Sadik the
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: tight end from Oregon. Yeah, dude matches in the run
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: game and then his athletic could catch the football. Oh sorry,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: I Bionni. Sure he could be a replacement. You're probably
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: gonna have to get him on day one or day two,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: which is tough. But if you get rid of Dawson Knox,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: you have to replace Dawson Knox. The best thing would
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: be to restructure him and have him take a pay cut.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: That would be awesome because I think they need his role.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's a bad player. I don't think
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: he's a great player. But he's very useful to this
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: defense because of the art with defense. He's very useful
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: to this offense because of what the tight end room
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: looks like, because Jackson Hawes is skewed towards blocking and
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: Dalton Kinkaid is skewed towards pass catching, and Dawson Knox
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: lives right there in the middle. He is the light
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: in the dark, a little bit of run blocking, a
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: little bit of pass catching, and he allows you to
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: do both. He can line up in line, do a
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: bunch of stuffs, do a bunch of stuff. He's not
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: a big tell, right, It's not like all Knox is
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: in there, they have to run away from him, or
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: Knox is in there. Well, he's not gonna He's not
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: gonna beat any of our dudes in space or as
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: a pass catcher. Right. He lets you do a little
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: bit of both. I like Kinkaid, I like Hawes. I
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: just think they're both limited. And especially again, if Dalton
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: Kkad's gonna be your number one, he's just he can't.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: You can't line him up in line. And that's not
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: even taking into the consideration that Dalton Knkate can't stay healthy.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: So like, you can't just have two tight ends on
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: the roster if like too legit tight ends on the
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: roster of one of them is Dalon kin Kate because
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: he keeps getting banged up. You need to have three,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: because Dalon Kinkaid is gonna go down at some point
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: and you can't pigeonhole yourself further. So yeah, I think
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is important just because of how somewhat siloed
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: Hause is, how somewhat siloed kincaid is and then the
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: injury history of Cankate on top of it, Like, you
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: need someone who can moonlight as a tight end one
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: and do enough from a versatility standpoint and not pigeonhole
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: you completely. So yeah, again, I hate the contract he
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: has thought I didn't like it at the time. I
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: thought they were banking on an upside and upward trajectory
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: that they didn't end up getting. But he's still valuable
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: and he plays a role, and it's a role that
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: they need. So again an ideal world, he takes a
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: pay cut if you again you can cut him fine,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: but then you need to replace him. And then it's
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: like where do you Where do you replace him? Is
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: it on the open market and you have to commit
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: a decent chunk of change to that? Anyway? Is it
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: with a day one or day two pick? So it's
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: almost like you're creating a hole and then plugging it
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: with somewhat high priority and limited resource allocation or resources
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: that you have that you don't necessarily have to allocate
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: to that. I think it's muddy for a lot of
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: reasons and in a lot of ways. But yeah, that's
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: where I'm at with Dawson. Knox. I don't like how
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: much he gets paid. I'm fine with him as a player.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: I don't love him, I don't hate him, but I
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: think he's a necessity given what Dalton kin Kate is
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: and what Jackson Hawes is. But we'll see, all right.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: So we talked d line, linebackers, receivers, safety, offensive line, corner,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: tight end. I think we essentially hit everything, which again
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: when I talked in the intro of this episode was like, oh,
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: ranking everything, kind of putting it all of it together.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of priorities for this team, some with
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: different levels, but I think all of these have a
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: pretty good chunk. Cornerback and tight end I think are
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: their own thing. At the bottom again, corners like you
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: need corner three, tight end is what are you doing
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: with Dawson Knox, Like if you cut them, it's kind
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: of an issue. So on and so forth. Yeah, you know, punter,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: special teams are up there as well. I'm just not
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: gonna put them. I know special teams matters, and it's
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: an important part of the game. I say it all
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: the time, sincerely and jokingly at times, but I think
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: for me it's right at that. You know, the highest
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: priorities for this team are defensive line collectively right Nos.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: Four I your edge rushers, all of that, like guys
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: who are gonna live on the line of scrimmage. I'm
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: including that in one fell suit. I don't care if
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: it's even or odd. Front structure, whatever it is, seven
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: man spacing, eight man spacing. The defensive line needs addressing again.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: And that would have been the case of Sean McDermott
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: was here or not if the defense stayed the same
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: or it didn't. But now we got a new defense.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: It just means you do different body types and different
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: archetypes on that defensive line. Linebacker, same thing. You're gonna
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: have to address line anyway. Now, if the defense stayed
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: the same, maybe he felt more comfortable rocking with Dorian
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: and Bernard as your starters, or maybe Bernard and Shack
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to. I think look for so much versatility.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: But now that you have Jim Leonards defense and the
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: hybridized front structure and the fluidity and flexibility that he
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: wants and that I think he needs to maximize everything,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: the linebacker position just has to be addressed differently, and
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: they don't have the right body types on this team
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: for it, and I think you can make the case
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: on some of that up front. Again, I don't think
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: it's his dyers. Everybody's making it out to because they
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: had to add bodies anyway. Now you're just adding different
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: body types and archetypes and play styles and skill sets.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: So yeah, D line and linebacker, wide receiver obvious reasons,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: Offensive line obvious reasons. Safety obvious reason than corner and
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: tight end. A little bit comment for Nicholas who says
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: miss the D line segment, but was wondering how much
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: you take into account guys that are better suited for
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: reacting versus attack in fronts in relation to the new defense,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: especially from a nose tackle standpoint, I think you need both.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to get in Jim Leonards defense,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: not even I think you're going to get one gaping stuff, right.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get penetration, You're gonna get upfield type stuff.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: You're also gonna get some movement stuff. You're gonna get
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: you know, run stunts, run slants, blitzes, all that kind
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Like, you are gonna get movement like that,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: but you're also gonna have gap and a half and
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: two gaping stuff at times as well. Right, So you're
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: gonna get attack react, and you're also gonna get react attack.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get both. So you need guys who can
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: do both. That's where that hybridized nature comes in with
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: your front, right, that ability to have guys who, yeah,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: this guy can play like three tech or one tech
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: in it even front, but you can also play in
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: an odd front structure, you know, and clogg to b
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: you know. And from a nose tackle standpoint, I think
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: you just need a true ass kicker, you know, run
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: first type of player. It doesn't have to be like
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: a huge three hundred and fifty pound guy. It doesn't
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: need to be Ted Washington or Pat Williams. But you
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: need somebody who you can drop over the center in
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: your odd front stuff and have him played a true zero.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: And you know, it could be also somebody who plays
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: as a one tech and your four down front two.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: I just think that that position is really important, but
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: I still want versatility mixed into it from the body
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: type standpoint, but I do think that one can be
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: stiled a little bit. Again. You know me, give me
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: Roy Lopez and I'm fine get Roy Lopez or Tonga
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: and you're fine, that's it. That's what you need to
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: do it nose and or if Deon Walker is going
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: to play four eye, then I think you need like
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: two noses or you need another guy up there who
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: can play nose regularly. Right, If Dean Walker is gonna
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: be your starting four eye, then get me two noses,
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: or get me Roy Lopez and David Onyomotic, because David
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: Anyamotic can also moonlight it nose while also working at
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: four eye and doing a bunch of stuff that probably
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: won't work because it's gonna cost too much. And if
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: you're having a walker play for ee, it is what
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: it is. But yeah, I think you need both in
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: a good way, right, and again that to be mismatch
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: proof so you can play multiple spacing structures multiple You know,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: you need the ability to steal and cancel gaps, but
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: you also need the ability to get upfield and penetrate,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: and you also need the ability to mitigate displacement or
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: reset the line of scrimmage. So you're gonna need a
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: little bit of everything. So a little bit of you know,
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: one gapping, a little bit of gap and a half
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: or two gapping. You need to be able to do
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: some attack react and some react attack at the same
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: time across the entire front. And then I do think
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: you need a true nose. Drop that stone right over
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: the center and be like, good luck moving this guy.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: And also he's gonna beat the hell out of you.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: Roy Lopez, Roy Lopez, Roy Lopez, Roy Lopez. I'm going
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: to continue to shout his name from the rooftops because
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: I want him in Buffalo. Something that's already in Buffalo.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: The best pizza in Buffalo, New York. If you live here,
• 1:48:50

  Speaker 1: Pi Pizza. They are sincerely the best pizza in Buffalo,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: New York. I don't say that because they sponsor the show.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: They sponsor the show because I think they are the
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: best pizza in Buffalo, New York. Sweet sauce, pie cup
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: and chart pepperoni, phenomenal homemade blue cheese, breakfast pizza, good

  Speaker 1: He said. It was the best pizza he ever had.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: One Pie Pizza is the best pizza in Buffalo, New York.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: And I don't say that lightly because there's a lot
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: of you know. It's the comment there says from IDL
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: seven one to six. It says it's impossible to get
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: a bad pie in Western New York. Very fair. Buffalo
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: is tremendous pizza. I think One Pie is tier above everyone.

  Speaker 1: forth with each other and myself. When I'm doing these shows,

  Speaker 1: especially solo when I have no guests, it's really fun
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: to just engage with the chat and answer questions and
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: have a fun back and forth for a half hour
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: to forty minutes and then dive into my content or
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: what I had planned. I know, mixed. The episodes go long,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: and we usually run about an hour and a half
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: two hours because we make it very engagement heavy. But
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: I love the engagement part. I love just talking ball
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: and answering questions and having a good back and good
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: honest dialogue and discourse and back and forth about the
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: bills or about football player scheme structure, all that stuff.
