00:00just like the Chiefs but the Bears are trading two first round picks for a defensive tackle
00:09want to do that yesterday I started out down the bulldog is sick again yesterday I started out
00:17down this road like trades we also have Dylan Larkin we can play with today maybe that the
00:22way that by the way the way the hockey works when the supposed insiders start talking like
00:29there's going to be a move it's happening I mean maybe it's going to happen before I'm done talking
00:35here so there's also that and I'm I'm listening to that yesterday we did trades both the Bills and
00:44the Sabres and that was fine is there do you have because I I'm really I'm ready to be talked
00:53into
00:53something do you have a favorite idea either team both teams do you have a favorite idea
01:01like for me with the Bills it would not have been Jeffrey Simmons Jeff Simmons it would not have
01:08been a defensive tackle who might be the best in the league I was on with Matt Collar today every
01:13Thursday morning we record his Purple Insider podcast together and I was talking and then
01:21he stopped he didn't start talking after I was done and he just did for those of you who are
01:28watching on YouTube he just did this
01:32sort of looking down at his phone as if you would do if you had been disconnected like maybe
01:37he's texting me to see if like to tell me that I'm not there anymore and can he can I
01:43just sort of
01:44reconnect no he was getting this Jeffrey Simmons trade NFC North when he and I were done he went
01:52and recorded a you know as we call it an emergency podcast because of the impact the Vikings or the
01:59Bears move would have on the Vikings so you know is there something either team or both
02:08is there something you think should really happen I started to say yes about yesterday's conversation
02:18because this is kind of where I was yesterday 8030550 no bulldog it was how I'm not that into
02:28the Bills trading for a defensive player because I have not yet been convinced that it will really
02:36matter that much but you know talk to me wide receiver okay but the only wide receiver
02:45unless we're talking about the Titans now but there's nobody there that I think you would care
02:51about I mean Carnell Tate is not getting traded they just drafted him so who are we talking about
02:59that really would move the proverbial meter for you and I think that the obvious name
03:05is Brian Thomas Jr. I did 20 minutes yesterday on just how seriously bad that draft class looks
03:16since two years ago and Thomas is kind of like at the center of it he's somebody that we talked
03:23about
03:23all the time around here before that draft the Bills always needing a wide receiver we think
03:28and here's Brian Thomas who goes in the 20s but no I didn't like his numbers and so you know
03:37that
03:37looked bad after his rookie season and then it looked look good ever since it seems like yeah good we
03:45dodged
03:45that bullet is there somebody we should be craving for
03:54would it be well what it might have been Derwin James but then yesterday his coach had to go up
04:00go and
04:01say that he might be going to IR so that's probably out there's Buda Baker from Arizona you want to
04:07talk
04:08me into go go for it take your shot talk me into Buda Baker for the Bills and how that
04:13player nothing
04:15against him how that player makes the difference between a Super Bowl and not is there someone else
04:23is there a different receiver is there what did I see on Twitter who was the guy talking about
04:29Jonathan Taylor where where Mina Kimes sort of couldn't shit like it was a spit take for her
04:36I don't know who the guy was I just watched it and when he said Jonathan Taylor for the Bills
04:41she
04:41like sort of coughed up a lung or something like just what who am I supposed to want
04:52yeah please anybody I think anybody who am I supposed to want I think the problem is you talked
04:58a lot about yesterday you already mentioned it with Brian Thomas like that's not going to be a move that
05:03moves the needle he what takes over Josh Palmer's role a guy that gets two targets a game maybe that's
05:10probably not going to do it that's what Thomas gets if that if that I mean non-existent in London
05:16you're already putting up 32 points per game I think emotionally where I've been at is if their
05:22defense can just maybe not even be average 22nd to 25th in points allowed if a guy like Buda Baker
05:31or Zach Bond linebacker for the Eagles if you can pry him away because he's 29 and maybe they'll want
05:36to
05:36go rebuild okay if you can do that and just be okay defensively your offense with DJ Moore effectively
05:43not on the field for a majority of the season has been the best in football so I'd like to
05:49see what
05:50they do against Baltimore and Minnesota because if they get more back and all of a sudden they're
05:55going bombs away and they're right back to what they look like against Houston and early against
05:59Detroit then my only issue is defense for the well a few things here Zach I mean
06:08always give me more weapons right so sure and it's another part of this conversation is
06:15like Chris was talking about two days ago before he took ill was like they have to do something
06:23and I don't know like tell me what it is what do I have to do do I have to
06:29get a weapon do I have
06:30to get a safety do I have to get a linebacker what's the actual difference between doing that and not
06:37do I want to trade also do I want to trade two firsts for anybody if I could have made
06:45this trade today
06:46that Chicago made what is it two ones a four a five Jeffrey Simmons I would have shrieked in horror
06:55like no no way do I want to trade two ones for a defensive player at any position but you
07:03know
07:03maybe I'm wrong sauce Gardner came up yesterday and there's Indianapolis who last year traded
07:12adjusting my little advisor here because we're on camera now who last year Indianapolis traded
07:19two ones for with the Jets and now it's not even a year later and they're completely dumping it
07:26they should trade him if they can they're trading Buckner they're trading Nelson they might be trading
07:34Downs they might be trading Taylor how'd that go I know it doesn't always have to go badly
07:42when you trade draft picks for a player this is the point maybe you should do that sometimes
07:51how have the Sabres done in these kind of moves last year they finally got good and they traded
07:58stuff for Logan Stanley and Sam Carrick by the way Carrick I mean this is a this is an aside
08:07so the Sabres send out a press release before every game of like you know interesting they're usually
08:14not that interesting but stats about stuff and on there will be an injury report and for Kulik it says
08:23concussion protocol and for other guys it says upper body or lower body and for Carrick it says
08:29undisclosed what what what is so bad that they can't even give you even like can't even get you in
08:35the
08:35stratosphere of what his problem is we can't say upper body we can't say lower body we can't say
08:41protocol we can just say undisclosed do they not know anyway but the Sabres went as teams do when they're
08:51you know in it they went and made trades for guys and did it help them at all
08:59Luke Shen I mean they couldn't play poor Mezza who was on the ice all season and never gave a
09:06goal up
09:06they had to have you know the twin towers and they got worse and then Carrick that's not the Sabres
09:14fault
09:14but he got hurt he might have been really interesting in the playoffs he might have been the difference
09:18actually draws and sort of like reliability he might have been the difference but he got hurt
09:23he was older that happens too I I just wanted I want somebody to talk me into what I should
09:33want
09:34either of these teams to do I couldn't make hellebuck happen I guess maybe I could have but I didn't
09:42that's kind of the Sabres way I didn't make that happen what do I want for the bills
09:49I don't want Jonathan Taylor I think should I I don't I don't know what should I want
09:55what do you want what do you want these teams to do the NHL trade deadline is like three months
10:00off
10:01all right I know but it's a tough division it's a long season you're in last or have been in
10:08last
10:08year before the last game I mean it's probably not time to just sort of sit around as just kind
10:13of like
10:13the usual Sabres way and watch the world go by what what am I supposed to want
10:20this is good the NFL trade deadline is in is in 12 days and I have an open mind I
10:29don't think I want
10:30a linebacker I really think that but maybe I should is that what is going to make the difference here
10:37what is that going to is that going to be two ones who are we talking about do I really
10:42want
10:43does a safety get the job done here does a wide receiver what am I supposed to what are we
10:48supposed
10:48to want I really want to want something because I love talking about trades you know how I am maybe
10:55I mean I love my fantasy stuff trades are in my head every day I want to talk about trades
11:02I just
11:03don't know what I'm interested in asking for right now and I'm also the type that is very
11:11reticent to trading my draft picks but if you give me the right name if Chris were here he'd tell
11:19me
11:19that they have to do it that's what he said two days ago but he can't get well that game
11:24killed him
11:25he the Tuesday night San Jose and then taking his wife to the airport like that must have been a
11:30death knell I don't know like just the guy he he was yesterday I told you I was kind of
11:37like ready
11:37to call in sick myself because I felt gross and I even left early and we played a we played
11:42Joe Brady
11:43talking um but he beat me to it and once once one of us gets gets home with like I
11:53can't come in
11:53then the other one is stuck and you know today I feel better than yesterday but I don't know but
12:01what I guess that I guess that game killed him is there any chance he watches the Sabres play Anaheim
12:10that's another 10 30 that's another beauty tonight what are we supposed to be hoping for 8 0 3 0
12:175 50
12:184 o'clock no 3 o'clock Jim Coventry moved him up a day uh Roto-Wire 4 o'clock
12:24is Paul 5 o'clock is Sal
12:26so top of the hour we're all set otherwise it's you and me let's go to Steve here hi Steve
12:33hey how's it going fine so for the trade I think no matter what you do it probably has to
12:44be on
12:44offense just because everything in this league is geared toward the offense all the rules it makes
12:50it hard for the guys to play defense regardless so you're going to have to make a move on somebody
12:56but I just don't see anybody out there that's a needle mover or you can get because you're not
13:02going to get Justin Jefferson no and I just don't see anything out there for these bills
13:07to get after I'm kind of waiting on Michael Hoyt to to get that legendary status back from last
13:14season and just increase the play across the board from the linebackers okay so you're like me you're
13:19kind of like yeah whatever hope hopefully something talk tell me something but you don't have I'm saying
13:27I don't either you're saying you don't have like a specific yeah well that that could be right
13:34I'm not sure I want to give into that entirely Steve like I don't think I'm getting Justin
13:39Jefferson whose team is six and oh I mean that would be incredible uh but who am I supposed to
13:46yeah
13:48we'll see let's talk about week eight and if somebody Brad and I were talking about this before
13:55Brad rudely just left after his shift was over how dare he but we were talking about this for a
14:02minute
14:02I told Brad like at 156 like I don't really know where I want to start today and then I
14:08sort of you
14:08know ramped up and got to this point say what you want and he mentioned the Steelers for a second
14:15and the Steelers are five and two and that's never a team that dumps like the Steelers are never that
14:22team but I said to Brad you know like all being funny and stuff I said well if Aaron Rodgers
14:28doesn't
14:28like you then you're on the you're on the you know somebody's clicking on the trade block on your
14:37sleeper app and I don't know if that's Metcalf wouldn't that be interesting and I've got nothing
14:43here on like cap ramifications I'll leave that for the smart people but could that be we're trying to
14:50make your names here's Kevin next hi Kevin hi Mike so if we're just gonna say like if we could
14:59have a dream of what we'd like to do here for me it would be if we heard news that
15:05the bills
15:06picked up Garrett Wilson and even if we gave a boatload like they gave for Jeffrey Simmons
15:13I understand that that would be a ton but think about how excited everyone would be if we had
15:20Garrett Wilson to pair with Josh for the next four to five years and I'd say well let's go you
15:25know
15:26let the young guys that we all drafted on defense with them learn and grow and we're just gonna crush
15:31people that would be my that would be my dream is that two ones I think I would do it
15:38I mean I know
15:39that's really really painful it sounds absurd but if they did it and we all of a sudden had Garrett
15:45Wilson I think I'd be bouncing off the walls because who would stop us who no one I mean it
15:53would be so fun I mean look when we got DJ Moore he wasn't the top guy that we wanted
15:58but he's worked
15:59out fine and he makes this offense look really good pair someone with him well he has Moore has 12
16:05catches and it's week eight oh right I know I know I know but I love this I think you've
16:13you've set a
16:14high bar here Kevin and I challenge anybody to top it because Garrett Wilson Jets wide receiver
16:25is on a bad team now it's in the division and you can maybe talk about that but I love
16:33this like
16:34this is exactly the right idea and I'm asking Kevin like would I go two ones and I think probably
16:42I
16:43should now I don't know if Woody Johnson's sons are making Garrett Wilson available because that's
16:50how the Jets work uh he did have some sort of an incident they just lost to Miami and he
16:56was
16:56yelling at some assistant coach the passing game coordinator the other day um so maybe there's
17:03like a breaking point when it comes to him but oh man you you want arguably he's better than digs
17:12when the bills got digs like this is that kind that kind of level of player and then DJ Moore
17:19can do
17:19what he's kind of born to do which is play the secondary role and be awesome you go and get
17:25an
17:25ace pitcher and your best pitcher then becomes the number two on your staff and look how good he is
17:33if that's possible I'll talk about that all day long if that's possible but it's a it's a great
17:39idea I'm in here sort of ranting and raving about who should I want talk to me and here comes
17:44Kevin
17:44with well here comes Steve with I don't know and then here comes Kevin with no offense to Steve because
17:49I don't know here comes Kevin with Garrett Wilson like now we're talking
17:57and somebody might be out there thinking also you could put them on defense maybe you're gonna
18:02pick you're gonna pay that that richer price well
18:07I don't think I would do that but that's a really cool idea that might not be unrealistic
18:15might not Patrick is next hi Patrick hey what's going on guys what's up it's just me
18:22so I uh I was I'm obviously listening and I I think Garrett Wilson is a great uh trade candidate
18:29um I really think we should be paying more attention to the defense I mean we're what top
18:34top three in offense in almost all categories so we don't really need the help I think if we want
18:40to go out and spend two first round draft picks on a wide receiver I may be looking at George
18:45Pickens
18:46oh you think you can get him out of you think they would do that I mean he's his name's
18:52been
18:53floating around you know going to Kansas City or maybe Minnesota so I mean I mean if you could give
18:58Dallas an offer that they can't refuse two first round picks maybe throw in Palmer just to get him
19:03off this roster I mean can they really refuse two first round picks yes in my opinion yes I
19:10have not heard these whatever rumors you're talking you're obviously listening I don't know what
19:15rumors you're you're uh you're hearing that I'm missing and I'm not saying you're wrong in this in this
19:20respect but if I'm Dallas I'm not doing that I'm Philadelphia is falling apart I've got the Giants
19:32and I'm coming off the win in Philadelphia I'm playing to win that team has been in terms of like
19:41results irrelevant longer than the Bills have I mean that's that's way longer I mean pre-Allen
19:48the Cowboys have been not out of the second round in like 31 years I've got an opening here in
19:56that
19:56division I'm not trading George Pickens maybe I'm wrong that to think that they wouldn't and you
20:02know you're hearing stuff that I'm not and you're probably you know paying closer attention than I am
20:06but I can't imagine that being possible I think I like Garrett Wilson more anyway and
20:18I don't know like to me that's more realistic but okay I think you have the right idea here I
20:27mean
20:27this is this is another player who could kind of break the game for their offense and yes they are
20:33leading the league in points and maybe a lot of you are out there thinking like why do they need
20:37to do
20:37any of this but yeah I mean I just don't think it could happen from the other side that's all
20:44I'm
20:45saying about Pickens I think I could I can sooner imagine Garrett Wilson with the Jets being available
20:56even within the division than I can Pickens because Dallas really does I mean they've just
21:01never won in so long and they do have a look at it agree what do you think Larry is
21:10next hi Larry
21:11hey Mike how you doing today okay um I love all these names that are being tossed out uh Wilson
21:18Pickens uh I think somebody said Metcalf earlier I love all these names that are being tossed off
21:22or tossed out there for ideas um my big thing is after all the years for the Bills hearing well
21:29we
21:29were in on this person we were in on Waddle we almost pulled the trigger for this guy we almost
21:34got
21:34Hopkins um at this point get me somebody like I just want I want Bean to like close the deal
21:43pull
21:44the trigger whether it's a safety cornerback wide receiver um whatever the position is just close to
21:51close the deal um and again I don't know how realistic any of these ideas are but it would just
21:57for call it years of frustration or call it you know I'm a fantasy guy too it would just it
22:03would make
22:03the story it would make news and hopefully you know we'd be like all right this this guy Wilson's
22:08coming in and he's going to be our savior he's going to get us to averaging 40 points a game
22:12but
22:12whoever it is that they bring in just can we get Bean to to finish the job instead of after
22:20Wilson gets
22:20traded the next day we hear well you know Buffalo was close Bean uh Bean wanted to give uh only
22:27a first
22:27and a second and he wasn't willing to add in a seventh round pick and if he would have added
22:31in that
22:32seventh round pick that would have got it over the line I mean just just close the deal like whoever
22:37the player is close the deal I'm I'm hearing you I mean Amari Cooper did happen and that felt really
22:47good two years ago I mean that did happen so Bean for me I got to take a break here
22:53but we'll talk
22:54about it throughout the day Bean for me is not shy when it comes to this kind of idea we've
23:01had our
23:01go-rounds with the wide receiver position and the bills I don't think he's like bashful about
23:08making such a trade that's kind of I think where Larry where you're coming from um you know Waddle is
23:18an interesting example that didn't happen and he he said he was in on that and I of course believe
23:24that
23:28but this is the year where it's what it's year what of this team I mean they have been to
23:34the
23:35playoffs seven years in a row I I don't think any kind of move like this would really look bad
23:45on him
23:46I said yesterday how these trades always feel good they often don't work out we'll talk about it some
23:52more after a break um because I want to go on for like five more minutes I'm not allowed
23:588030550 Jim Coventry Sal Capaccio Paul Hamilton throughout the day no bulldog sadly I'm Mike Shope
24:04and this is WG
