00:00Trade deadline is today in less than an hour now and the Bills have reportedly made a move for
00:05safety Amani Hooker from Tennessee. Let's start there Sal. Is this pretty much exactly what you
00:11would say they needed? Absolutely. Every time we've talked to your guys to me it was always
00:17you got it safety was the number one position with space for corner with space for a linebacker
00:23that's the position they needed to attack. It really ratcheted up you know once the C.J.
00:28Gardner Johnson stuff happened I mean even before that it was you know do they have enough there now
00:32it was after he was let go and that situation happened it became a priority to me that you had
00:38to get a safety and Matt Bovey and I do the Always Game Day in Buffalo podcast these are you
00:43know we've
00:44talked about this position for a while this is the player and it's always easy to say it afterwards
00:48but if you go back and listen this is the player I preferred of everybody really I mean Derwin James
00:53I guess but I just think that might be a little too costly right but I would say Amani Hooker
00:57to me
00:58is really kind of the fit for this team what they need and what I mean by that is you
01:02know he is
01:04the guy that they thought they were getting in C.J. Gardner Johnson and what he could do for the
01:10defense to allow Cole Bishop do what he does now Buda Baker is a fantastic player I'd be fine with
01:15Buda Baker on my team any day he is a chaos creator he's a guy that plays down in the
01:20box he's a guy that
01:22is physical yes he can you know go get the ball Amani Hooker is a center fielder he is a
01:29guy who's
01:29rangy he is going to be a coverage guy he allows you to compliment Cole Bishop a lot more and
01:36he can
01:36play nickel by the way which also really factors in here most likely but I think you know this is
01:41a
01:41safety move you know thinking about I'm trying to give a comparison to people like well you know
01:45what's he who's he like I come on here a lot and I say DeMar Hamlin's a nice floor right
01:51it's a nice
01:51floor for a backup guy it's a nice floor when you need to put him on the field doesn't have
01:54a high
01:55ceiling I think this is he is like he is a DeMar Hamlin with a really high ceiling the guy
02:00leads
02:00the league in interceptions this year so that's why I like this move it's the guy that I thought
02:05they should target and I think the Bills did a good job here to add them to the rock to
02:09the roster
02:10how do you feel
