1
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has spent all over the fields.

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: in the stragger of normalcy. It's getting going here on

Speaker 1: a Friday one, Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: from me. Right, But this is the world we're all

9
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: living in. It's COVID's world, and we're all living in

10
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: it in the middle of the night. That's right. I

11
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: get one once a week. Man. It's a it's a

12
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: COVID party. But we're all we're good. So that's good.

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: And the show is good for today because Fridays are

14
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: usually chock full of good stuff for you to chew

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: on from everywhere in the football world, but chiefly here

16
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: had won Bill's Drive as we're broadcasting live from the

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Seneca Studios and some news coming down today, not only

18
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: on the national landscape with respect to COVID, with a

19
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Broncos offensive lineman and a Vikings linebacker testing positive today,

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: we know the Giants are dealing with some stuff with

21
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: their offensive line with Will Hernandez sent home yesterday. But

22
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: we've also got some good news on the COVID front

23
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: as Lee Smith was activated off the COVID reserve list.

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: If you remember last week, he was in that pool

25
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: of tight ends that was in close proximity to Dawson Knox,

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: who had tested positive, the first positive test for the

27
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: Bills in the COVID world this season. Knox remains on

28
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: the COVID reserve list, but Lee Smith is off, so

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: one extra player they will have at their disposal. And

30
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Steve it's gonna be interesting to see this week. They

31
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: might have him up with the weather we're expecting this

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: week to run the ball. Yeah, oh yeah, he's He's

33
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: definitely one of those guys you need in the run game. He's,

34
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: let's face it, he's a he's a blue collar tight end.

35
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's not a wide receiver tight end. He's

36
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: an offensive line tight end. He will, I'm telling you

37
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: right now, he'll be up. Feliciano's gonna be up, Bates

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be up, Brian Winters is gonna be up.

39
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: If Cody Ford's healthy, he's gonna be up well no,

40
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: and coach McDermott addressed that this morning he's got a

41
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: weekly appearance on WGR radio in Buffalo, and earlier today

42
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: he said Cody Ford will not play on Sunday, and

43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: neither will Josh Norman, who's still dealing with that hamstring injury.

44
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: Cody Ford had not practiced at all this week. And

45
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: we also are hearing from the practice field today that

46
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: Vernon Butler is not practicing for another day and Micah

47
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Hyde is not participating in practice, so it looks like

48
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: he remains in the concussion protocol. So those two certainly

49
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: are not looking all that good for Sunday. But we'll

50
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: wait until the Friday injury report comes out for the

51
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: final designation on all of the players on what is

52
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: a lengthy list. The good news was Quentin Jefferson was

53
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: seen back at practice today after not participating yesterday with

54
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: a foot problem. So we'll see where it all goes

55
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: and how it all shakes out. We'll probably know by oh,

56
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: I would say the end of the of the radio

57
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: show as to who's doing what. But a good stuff

58
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: happens after our show's over. I know, isn't that funny? Funny?

59
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: How that works? But we'll be updating you all on

60
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: Twitter obviously, and you can go to Buffalo Bills dot

61
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: com for any and all player availability updates. So with

62
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: that in mind, there is also news from the Patriots.

63
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: We found out yesterday that Julian Edelman had a knee surgery.

64
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: A knee procedure sounds like a cleanout deal, but those

65
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: usually take two to four weeks to recover. The anticipation

66
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: is well, first of all, we know he's not playing Sunday,

67
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: but the anticipation is he'll be put on injured reserve, which,

68
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: as we all know, as a different designation this year,

69
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: you only need to spend three weeks on there before

70
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: you're eligible to come off. So he's not going to

71
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: be a part of the game this weekend. And now

72
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: we are hearing NFL Networks in Rappaport reporting that Stefan

73
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Gilmore tweaked his knee had an MRI after leaving practice

74
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: early Thursday, and the injury is deemed minor, but it

75
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: has put his status for Sunday a bit in question.

76
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: So there's that now. I think we would all agree

77
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: that the secondary is the strength of the Patriots defense,

78
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: and Gilmore is obviously the top dog in that group,

79
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: So if he doesn't play, it's not like they don't

80
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: have capable cover corners. They have J. C. Jackson, Jonathan Jones,

81
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: and the mccordy's, so there are options for them to

82
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: turn are into back there if for some reason Gilmore

83
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: cannot play. It's interesting, though, you know, you hear these

84
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: trade rumors about them moving Gilmore, and I'm I'm reminded

85
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: of Gilmore's last season here. It was very clear that

86
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: the Bills were not going to be able to pony

87
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: up the money or chose not to pony up the

88
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: money to resign Stefan Gilmore, and Gilmore knew that, and

89
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: the way he played his final season here, he was

90
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: a little bit in self preservation mode. He was not

91
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: the physical, attacking, super run support corner that we had

92
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: come to know his first few years here in a

93
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: Bill's uniform. I'm not saying that's what's happening now, but

94
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: these trade rumors surface and all of a sudden, my knee,

95
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: my knee, my knee is bugging me here. We gotta

96
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: get this checked out, you know what I mean? Yeah,

97
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to know whether that's whether it makes you

98
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: wonder and certainly the team is going to throw him

99
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: in at and and if this is all you're right,

100
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: and you know, there's the people with the tinfoil hats

101
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: on going. This is just a low key tank by

102
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: the by the Patriots, right. They got all these guys

103
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: opted out who they who Bill probably called personally and said, hey,

104
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: you know what, your your career is too short. You're

105
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna just lay out this season. We'll bring you back

106
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: next year and and all of that, and and uh, Edelman,

107
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: you know what you need. Yeah, just go ahead and

108
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: have that surgery done. Right, We're gonna He did have

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: to get a scope and he wasn't right watching him

110
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: on tape the last couple of weeks here Wilmore say, well,

111
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: all these guys, you know, just they're just low key tanking.

112
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: That's the conspiracy theory, right right. I doubt that that's true.

113
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Bill Belichick works that way. He's coaching

114
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: to become the all time winning his coach a history,

115
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: so that's parting with victories is not something he's gonna be.

116
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: If he about loses this game to the Bills this week,

117
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: he will have lost just as many games with Tom

118
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: Brady as his quarterback over which was over a couple

119
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: of hundred games. He will lost his mini games without

120
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady as he has with him. Okay, sixty six

121
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: losses of his one hundred and twenty four one hundred

122
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: and thirty four losses in his career, half of those

123
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: would be with Tom Brady and the other half with

124
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: everybody else who's ever played quarterback for I think he's

125
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: also one of the I think he's the winningest coach

126
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: in Buffalo since two thousand. Oh Yeah, there isn't a

127
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: Bill's head coach with more victories than him in Buffalo.

128
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: They've won the last eight in this stadium, this stadium,

129
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: in this stadium, I think he's got seventeen victories. Yeah,

130
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: So it's just that's pretty bad. Good God, that's got

131
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: to come to an end. Eight oh three oh five

132
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,280

138
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: whether it's somebody on the COVID list, whether it's new

Speaker 1: your significant other. We all know this time of year

148
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,960

149
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,199

154
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: through the ringer on a lot of this stuff, okay,

155
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: and we're still breathing. So if you have an issue

156
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: that's you know, compromising your football viewing life or your

157
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: football existence in general this time of year, bounce it

158
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: off us. We have solutions. We helped a guy earlier

159
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: this week. He actually called on Tuesday, Steve, when you

160
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: were in here. He was desperate, he could not wait

161
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: till Friday. He's a Bills fan living in the state

162
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: of Maine, which I think most people would consider Patriots country,

163
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: and his wife is a died in the wool Patriots fan.

164
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: And he told us that during Patriots Week, for you know,

165
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: when it's Bills Patriots, she takes all of his Bills

166
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: paraphernalia in the house and throws it in a trunk

167
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: and basically says he cannot have it anywhere in the home.

168
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: And I said, hold on a second, we gotta pump

169
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: the brakes here like this is not like. There has

170
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: to be even though it is a house divided, there

171
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: has to be some line of demarcation, some designated area

172
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: for this guy to express his fandom. And so we

173
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: had a lengthy discussion about the different ways in which

174
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: to negotiate such things. And I said, look, you gotta

175
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: be willing to say, look, I'm not looking at spray

176
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: paint our house in Bill's colors. I'm not looking to

177
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: fly the flag outside. So you're embarrassed in front of

178
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: your neighbors but in my home, you gotta give me

179
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: a room, Like come on, yeah, I'm not asking for

180
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: a lot here first of all, So shame on you

181
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: forgetting it to this point. That's right. Yeah, well he

182
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: acted like a doormat unfortunately, right to so to you know,

183
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: you're making you you made your own bed there, right.

184
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: But I think in the at the end of the

185
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: conversation we had, we felt we had properly equipped him

186
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: with the things to present to the argument, to get

187
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: at least some of what he's looking to recapture during

188
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: Bill's Patriots Week, because the last thing you want to

189
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: do is a Bills fan in a home that's a

190
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: that's a house divided, is walk through your house every

191
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: day and see nothing but Patriots paraphernalia. That's right. I

192
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: mean you want to talk about getting your dauber up.

193
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: That would get me pretty hot. Like I gotta look

194
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: at this again. Oh around the corner. Oh it's in

195
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: my bathroom, Like what is going on here? Yeah, that's

196
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: a bad thing. That's a that's a rough Patriots toilet

197
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: seat covers. Come on here. Wow, Yeah that's pretty bad.

198
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: That's pretty bad. So so we helped him and we're

00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: it's the latest edition of Tasker's Teammate and we've got

214
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: a doozy this week, so it's gonna be good. Um,

215
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. When you say doozy, oh, it's good, Okay,

216
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's uh, it's one to chew on, man,

217
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: I tell you it's good. It's gonna be a good one.

218
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: And then at one twenty five, so in about a

219
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: little over an hour. We will be talking with NFL

220
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: Films senior producer Greg Kosell for his weekly appearances. He

221
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: will help us kind of get into the nuts and

222
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: bolts of this bill's Patriots matchup. Maybe he can point

223
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: his put his finger on what is plaguing the Patriots

224
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: offense and Cam Newton in a big way. It could

225
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: just be lack of receiver talent. It could be a

226
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: whole host of reasons. It could be that Cam Newton's

227
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: got the yips. Whatever it is, there's there's something that

228
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: is clearly not right there. Yeah, I think it's all

229
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: those things. And this is a different vibe too, And

230
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: you gotta think too, this is a locker room that's

231
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: in transition as well. Jillian Edelman, Julian Edelman is there,

232
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: but you know he's one of the older guys. As

233
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: they're all Matthew Slaters speak up this week. All those

234
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: guys opted out, so all those leaders from the defensive

235
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: side of the ball, those voices are silenced. They're not

236
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: even in the building. Cam Newton has now taken snaps.

237
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham has a prompt more prominent role in practicing

238
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: in meetings and stuff. It is it's like a completely

239
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: different team and it's hard to come together as a

240
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: group when they had no off season, no training camp,

241
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: no time to acclimate or bond or do all of

242
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: that stuff. They're socially distanced at the status. So it's

243
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: it really is. It's almost like really like Bill Belichick

244
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: and his staff who are who are very together and

245
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: all that got plopped into a different locker room, right

246
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: with different But they even have a different defensive play

247
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: caller this year. It's Belichick's son, right, Steve, So you know,

248
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: even that's different this year and a change for them.

249
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: McDaniels is still the OC, but now he's trying to

250
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: call plays for a quarterback who is completely different from

251
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. So yeah, there's a lot of change that

252
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: they're trying to adjust to in New England and it

253
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: has not gone well. It just hasn't. Now their schedule

254
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: gets a little easier to navigate here. They do still

255
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: get to play the Jets twice, so that will help

256
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: their cause. But you know, they've got Baltimore on their

257
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: schedule still, and they've got a couple other tough games

258
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: on their schedule, so be interesting to see how they

259
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: make their way through all that. I mean, they've got

260
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: the same division stuff. They've got the Bills, the Jets,

261
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: and they go to Baltimore, Houston, Arizona and Chargers with

262
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Rams, right, so you know they

263
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: they have already escaped the Seahawks and the forty nine

264
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: Ers and the forty nine Ers, all of those and

265
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, all those teams beat them. They beat them,

266
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: Let's face it. They beat their Dolphins on opening Day

267
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: and they beat the Raiders in Week three. Yeah, and

268
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: that's it. And since yeah, so we'll hear from Greg

269
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: Cosell on that. In about an hour and forty five

270
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: minutes one, Lorenzo Alexander will stroll in and give us

271
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: the lowdown and his thoughts on this week's matchup a

272
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: team that he was on the roster when they beat

273
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots sixteen nothing the Jacoby Burussette game up there

274
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: in Foxborough. But that was the only win that Lorenzo

275
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: Alexander experienced in a Bill's uniform over the Patriots. So

276
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: although wait was he No, he wasn't here in twenty fourteen.

277
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: He wasn't here for the Doug Marone sendoff game where

278
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: it was all about the Bill's family and then he

279
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: promptly opted out. So there's that. But that is the

280
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: chock full of nuts show that we have for you today.

281
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: And we also have some commentary that we wanted to

282
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: get to from head coach Sean McDermott, John Fell or

283
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: excuse me, John Feliciano, because Feliciano, even though coach McDermott

284
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: would not say definitively this morning in his access to

285
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: the media that Feliciano will start or play on Sunday,

286
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: the general feeling is that that that that will happen.

287
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: So Feliciano was talking yesterday and I'll just paraphrase a

288
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: little bit, because he was asked about, Hey, you know,

289
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: where is your conditioning at, where is your strength at?

290
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: Are you confident that you can play in a football

291
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: game after basically not having pads on since January because

292
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: he tore his peck steve the day before the players

293
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: were supposed to report to training camp in a freak.

294
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: You know, weightlifting is accident, and so putting pads on

295
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: went from eight months ago to almost eleven. So you know,

296
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: now here he is and is this going to be

297
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: a guy that you can just thrust into the lineup.

298
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: So I asked, coach this morning, I said, how, I said,

299
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure this isn't the first time you've had to

300
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: deal with this, but how do you properly assess whether

301
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: a player is ready to jump into regular season action

302
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: after the layoff of the length that John Feliciano has had.

303
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: And you know, he went into their whole process of

304
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: doing that and how everything goes and he said, we

305
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: are confident that he has done all the right things

306
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: and we've taken all the right steps with him. But

307
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: then he stopped short of saying he's ready to go

308
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday now. John Feliciano, who addressed the media yesterday,

309
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: said he feels he's ready to go now. He said,

310
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: when I first came back to the practice setting, which

311
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: was probably three or four weeks ago, now like almost

312
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: a month, Yeah, he said, I was not a fun

313
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: person to be around. I was bugging the athletic training staff.

314
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: I was bugging the strength and conditioning staff to let

315
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: me play. He said. During Raiders Week and Casey Week,

316
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: I was not very nice to anybody because he wanted

317
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: to play, but they told him, Bro, you're not ready,

318
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: You're not ready conditioning, while strength wise, you know all

319
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: of that stuff, stamina, endurance, not ready. So he said,

320
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: looking back on it, now, I owe them a debt

321
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: of gratitude because they saved me from me. And I

322
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: see the difference between two weeks ago and now in

323
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: terms of my power, in terms of my strength, and

324
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: in terms of my endurance. So I think I think

325
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: he will start on Sunday. That's just my guests listening

326
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: to him, listening to Josh Allen. Josh believes that he'll

327
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: be back in the lineup, or at least he was

328
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: talking in those terms. Does he play the whole game?

329
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: If the offense is on the field for seventy five

330
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: eighty plays, maybe not, But if they're on the field

331
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: for fifty or sixty plays, maybe it is. Yeah, there's

332
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: no question that it. And that's a big balance when

333
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: you have with these all of these guys well buy

334
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: and large is the medical staff has to put the

335
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: brakes on for the player. The player always wants to

336
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: get back on the field. The player always wants to

337
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: go back and play. In large measure, they always want

338
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: to that's the way they're wired. You don't really make

339
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: it to the NFL unless you're one of those guys

340
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: that plays when you're uncomfortable. So them sitting on josh

341
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: On John Feliciano is probably par for the course for

342
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: most players in the league. And that's why one of

343
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: the things we've noticed and talked about with Sean McDermott

344
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: and this coaching staff and this medical staff and the

345
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: relationship between the two, they always give the player a

346
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: chance to be one hundred percent and at his best

347
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: when he gets back on the field. We saw that

348
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: with Zach Moss and his toe injury was out for

349
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: a while last year, with Devin Singletary when he was

350
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: out for quite some time. And I think even to

351
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: a certain extent, you can go down and look at

352
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: every other Josh Norman as well, all of these guys,

353
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace, they give them a chance to get one

354
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: hundred percent before they get them back on the field,

355
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: and I think that's it's the proper way to do it.

356
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: But make no mis steak. A lot of times the

357
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: players the one saying let me play, I feel like

358
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: I can go, I can go, I can go, I

359
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: can go, and the coaching staff and more likely the

360
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: medical staff, through the coaching staff says there's no way

361
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: he's ready. Let's not do it because he's too fragile

362
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: and he's too susceptible to reinjuring it. And that's always

363
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: the balance that has been brought. That's why when guys

364
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: aren't the guy who wants to get back on the field,

365
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: he's not the guy that says now I can go

366
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: or he's always and the guy who says I gotta

367
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent before I can get back on

368
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: the field. Those guys stand out in the negative way. Yeah,

369
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: and that's that's a consideration and everything you think about

370
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: that guy for a coaching staff and a player and

371
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: a teammate, and that's probably the polar opposite of who

372
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: John Phillie r. Is so right that guy would go

373
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: with his arm hanging off. But yeah, so hopefully he

374
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: can step in because we'd already know that Cody Ford

375
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: will not play this weekend because of the knee injury,

376
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: and so coach McDermott was also you know, if Cody

377
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: Ford doesn't play after being ruled out, does John Feliciano

378
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: slide in it left guard? And you know, again he

379
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: did not want to commit, but I think they leave

380
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Brian Winters at right guard, even though he's a little

381
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: gimpy too, and I think Feliciano slides into left guard.

382
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: He actually said told the media yesterday, I played a

383
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: lot of left guard in college at the University of Miami,

384
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: almost exclusively left guard, and then I was the swing

385
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: guard in Oakland. I played left and right guard, so

386
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: it's no big deal for him. And we've seen him

387
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: seamlessly switched from right guard to center in some of

388
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: the instances last year where Mitch Morse got hurt, and

389
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: he just slides right in there seamlessly. And I had

390
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: a long conversation with him his first season here with

391
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: the Bills last year, and I talked about him all.

392
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: I talked about all that switching and stuff and coming

393
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: in and out and being in different spots. And he said, look,

394
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: when I was in Oakland, our coaches used to switch

395
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: us around all the time, and they did it on

396
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: purpose because stuff happens during the season, and they did

397
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: it in training camp to remind us that stuff's gonna

398
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: hit the fans sometimes during the season, and you just

399
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: gotta seamlessly make the switch and go. And he said,

400
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: and sure enough, third week of the season. Bang, it happens.

401
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: We got like two injuries, we got guys shuffling around.

402
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: He's like, but we didn't miss a beat because of it.

403
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: And so I think they've adopted that here as well.

404
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: And we saw all the shuffling we saw in training

405
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: camp this year. There was a ton of you know,

406
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: stacked deck of cards that just kept getting shuffled and

407
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: shuffled and shuffled. And even into week two when we

408
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: saw Quentin Spain loses starting job and Cody Ford gets

409
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: moved to the left side, Winners comes in on the

410
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: right side, and he and Feliciano said, now, in all fairness,

411
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: that has also contributed to us not really hitting our

412
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: stride yet, particularly in the run game, right, he said.

413
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: He said, I will admit, since I've been gone, we're

414
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: a past first team. Now. Yeah, he said, but he

415
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: probably took credit for that as well. Well, no, he didn't,

416
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: but but he said, but what he did say that

417
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: I found interesting was he said, this week practice we

418
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: really got back to our fundamentals. He goes, which was

419
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: great for me, he said, Here, I am trying to

420
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: get back into the flow, he said, but we really

421
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: broke it down this week and got into fundamentals in

422
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: terms of hat placement, footwork, you know, running your feet

423
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: through a block. He said. They were really breaking it

424
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: down to the bare bone minimum stuff, he said, And

425
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: I think that is going to help us greatly in

426
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: the run game this week. The mindset has always been

427
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: for position groups who get hit with injury that it's

428
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: hard because the guy who gets injuries, like everything shifts

429
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: for him. He's like, oh man, I'm off, I gotta

430
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: go do something, What's gonna happen? How am I gonna

431
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: do that? And all of a sudden, in a flip

432
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: of a switch or the instance of an injury, you're

433
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: completely away from the team really by the time you

434
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: get to the sideline. Secondly, for the guys who are

435
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: left on the field, they got another snap coming up,

436
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: and they got to where are you gonna play? What

437
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: do you got? What do you get? You know, it's

438
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: like they forget about him as well. There's plenty of

439
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: time to talk about it between games. So for the

440
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, the next snap's coming up in forty seconds,

441
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: let's go. And that's the mentality they've got to have.

442
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: And you'll never see it any more illustrated than in

443
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: what John Feliciano just told us about is that listen,

444
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: when you lose the right guard during a game, next

445
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: guy's in, and if and if it happens, if you

446
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: lose one of the tackles, one of your guards moves

447
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: out to tackle because he's a better tackle than the

448
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: backup guard is, and the backup guard's a better guard

449
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: than anybody else who would be a tackle. So you've

450
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: moved that guy in, and the next snap's happening, you

451
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: got to be ready for it. So they have contingency

452
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: plans for this and all these guys. It is a

453
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: very different position playing right guard or right tackle, left guard,

454
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: left tackle, but at least you're not alone. And the

455
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: communication that you have and you the words that you've heard,

456
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: you've heard all the calls before. All you got to

457
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: do is they now they mean you in a different way.

458
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: So the balance has always been for all teams when

459
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: you get a guy down, and this is and I

460
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: was gonna mention this earlier too, is the next snap

461
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: is coming and these guys got to be ready for it,

462
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: particularly offensive line. Now the second point I was gonna

463
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: make is we're in Week eight, this is the eighth game,

464
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: of the year. We're at the halfway point of the

465
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: bill schedule, and now you're going to start getting guys

466
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: back who have been hurt. The preseason is over, you've

467
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: got eight games under your belt, you're in the middle

468
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: of it, and you're making your way. Certainly, it's been

469
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: a different year and it continues to be a different year,

470
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: but they're in a routine now and a rhythm, and

471
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: with these guys coming back, it does have a ripple

472
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: effect of you know, positive vibes going through the locker

473
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: room and the and the and the field, the guys

474
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: on the starters and the personnel packages. Getting a guy

475
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: like John Feliciano back is bigger than you might imagine.

476
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: It's ripples effect to the running game and the running

477
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: backs and their confidence. It's a ripple effect to the quarterback.

478
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: Even the wide receivers will feel it, and it's because

479
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball more effectively. They're gonna run

480
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: the ball maybe more often if they if they start

481
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: playing better up front. So the ripple effect is huge.

482
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: Even when you plug one new guy in on the

483
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: offensive line, particularly to point like this Brownie, because everybody's

484
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: kind of humming along and that little tweak in the

485
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: engine just makes the whole thing run better. Yeah, and everybody, Yeah,

486
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: it's exactly right. Just one or two plays along a drive.

487
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: You know, you think about it. You got a ten

488
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: play drive. That offensive guard makes a difference on three

489
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: of them. That's a thirty percent uptick in production where

490
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: you never get to third down on that drive, you

491
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So there's a you know, there's

492
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: all this stuff. It's all possible, and these are all

493
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: positive scenarios. But those are the positive things you get

494
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: when you're adding guys in, because the coaching staff will

495
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: never add a guy in willingly if they think it's

496
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna make him worse. So here we have a comment

497
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: from John Feliciano. Now Here he is talking about his

498
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: progression from his rehabilitation over the last twelve weeks. I

499
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: think it's a credit to the coaches and the and

500
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: the and the training staff that didn't really rush me back.

501
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: Um you know me, I'm I was. I was trying

502
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 1: to get activated weeks before they did activate me, and

503
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: thankfully they didn't listen to me, and they they kept

504
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: kept me safe and um because the first the first

505
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: like two weeks ago, I wasn't ready. Um, and I

506
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: think the coaches and the training staff did a good

507
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: job of helping me realize that and then having the

508
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: plan of how to get my strength back fast and

509
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: and conditioning up. So, you know, just hearing that, it

510
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: sounds like he feels he's in a good place to

511
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: play regular season football, even though admittedly that first series

512
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: or two will probably be an adjustment. Nonetheless, I mean,

513
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: when you've been away for what is gonna amount to

514
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: almost eleven months, it's gonna be you can say what

515
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: you want to practicing during the regular season. It ain't practicing.

516
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah, it's jogging through and thump and

517
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: you're not. There's no intensity, no intensity, So it'll I imagine,

518
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: And this happened has happened to me on countless occasions.

519
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: I was standing on the sidelines for weeks at a

520
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: time and never and I would never see a down

521
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: of offense. I would always play a special team. So

522
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: when you do get in on offense, you're gonna play

523
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: like three or four plays in a row. The first

524
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: two plays feels like you haven't run a step in

525
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: six months. You are gassed after two plays running plays

526
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: as because it's like you're adrenaline. Sprint as fast as

527
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: you can rest for twenty five seconds. Sprint as fast

528
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: as you can rest for twenty five seconds. You're adrenaline

529
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: skyrockets and it sucks it out of you. So it

530
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: so I'm sure Feliciano is gonna go through about five

531
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: or six plays in his drive and wonder who sucked

532
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: the air out of the stadium. Yeah, but you know

533
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: he'll get back into it quickly, as quickly as he can.

534
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: But there's almost a period. There's almost a period where

535
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: when you first get back on the field, and this

536
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: I think it this applies to any athletic sport. You

537
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: get back on there, and those first two or three minutes,

538
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: whether it's a high intensity for short burst sport like

539
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: football or constant cardio, you know, like a like you know,

540
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: you're doing a forty five second shift in hockey, or

541
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: something more constant like basketball or foot or soccer or

542
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: something like that, there's that first two or three minutes

543
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: where you're like, man, why am I so winded? But

544
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: if you push through it, you're usually good on the

545
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: other side of it, and then your body eventually adjusts

546
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: and you're fine. But there is that initial adjustment that

547
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: you have to do. All right, we have to take

548
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: a break. But when we return the latest edition, the

549
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: newest installment of Taskers Teammates, we will see if we

550
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: can stump Steve and keep him from guessing which our

551
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: teammate we're gonna have on the line to talk with

552
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: us shortly, we'll Steve see how quickly Steve can guess

553
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: who that is when we return here on One Bills Live,

554
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:22,240

Speaker 1: are you're ready? Man? I am so did well last week?

560
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: You got it on the third clue I think, did

561
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: I Yeah? This was a good showing by Chris Moore.

562
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: It was. It was a layup, but he's like family.

563
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a layup. So here we go

564
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: Clue number one for this week's Taskers Teammate. Born in

565
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty seven. I have a birthday. That's just two

566
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: two days away from Steve's. It's April eighth, nineteen fifty seven,

567
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: fifty seven. Uh, who's the guy Cameron who does the

568
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: uniform inspection on the sidelines. Tim Vogler, It is not

569
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: Tim Vogler. He's about the right, he's about yeah, he's

570
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: in that window there. I was a two time two

571
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: sport All American in college, with football obviously being one

572
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: of those two sports. Steve Freeman, it is not Steve Freeman.

573
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: Not a bad guess. This is a short clue, but

574
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want you to get this thing

575
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: right away. I was a teammate of Steve's for four

576
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: seasons with the Bills. Oh wow, he played for a

577
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: long time. Sadly, it's not like Joe Devlin. It is

578
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: not Joe Devlin. I was the second round pick of

579
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I was named to the All Rookie

580
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: team after my first season with the club. Smoless, it

581
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: is Fred Smerless. Well done, Steve, Uncle Giggy. What's up? Fred?

582
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: How long? I said you was the biggest bang in

583
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: his life. It was bigger than him twenty bro it

584
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: was Yeah. Lighting off M eight is a training. It

585
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: was like twenty I tossed it into him and Jimmy

586
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 1: Richard's room, ran upstairs, and I was so nervous about it,

587
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: and I'll there was another uh guy with me Hall

588
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: of Fame wide receiver, I won't mention his name, eighty three,

589
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: and I threw it down. I was so nervous. I

590
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: couldn't get it into the room. So they had a

591
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: little hallway. I threw it and it banged off the

592
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: wall and sat there in the hallway. And we ran

593
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: upstairs and we're waiting and it had like a long fuse,

594
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, and we thought, oh man, it's not

595
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: gonna work. And all of a sudden, the entire building shook. Oh.

596
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: And I was like it went from being a pretty

597
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: funny joke too, We're gonna get in deep trouble for

598
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: this one. Yeah. And I went back Freddy blow you

599
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: in that he didn't know because I wasn't going to

600
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: tell him I wanted. I went back down and acted

601
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: like that, Wow, what was that big bang? Fred? And

602
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: Fred was sweating like a lawn sprinkler. Well, rip all

603
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: the hall and ripped his back. Him up from Richard

604
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: and he's like he looks like a little who because

605
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: me and Ripped stayed low. If the if the uh

606
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: the wall boys and stuff would come up and beep

607
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: their horns and we say, if you do that again,

608
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna tie you up at the tape. So we

609
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: did a few times. So we figured it was them,

610
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: and we come down and Steve comes out and helping

611
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: us look for the guy that blew up a hole

612
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: and a rug about. It was a hole in the

613
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: concat and the carpet and everything. It was Wow, it

614
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: was like pretty stupid. At the end, he's driving away

615
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: because we're a finishing camp. He rolls out of his window.

616
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: He goes, I did it. It takes off the ketchum

617
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: though it's too fast. Oh my gosh. Yeah, not not

618
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: the room to really throw it into like two of

619
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: the bigger team. What are you doing? Wait? You know,

620
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: I waited for a while for the for the you know,

621
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: the heat to come off, and then I fest up

622
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: to it. Freddy, it's great to have you on. How

623
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: are you doing, man, I'm doing okay, my friend. Congratulation

624
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: and all that stuff you just picked up with all

625
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: the laudio and stuff the job. Oh yeah, what do

626
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: you think about this. Uh are the are the you're

627
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: they're panicking up there? Are they low key tanking or what? No, No,

628
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: they're not panicking. They don't have the depleted and they

629
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: got what's her name a quarterback. He can't read anything.

630
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: It's I mean, you said, Tom, who's pinpoint accurate? And

631
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: and uh, Kim gets up and he runs into piles.

632
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's not he's fast, he's not quick, and

633
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: he can't read. So he takes him like seven minutes

634
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: to throw it Thomas Thorn. So we have really we

635
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean the Patriots have very little offensive firepower. See

636
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: average running backs, offensive lines. Okay, but you know early

637
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: on they were doing okay because it's all following ball

638
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 1: checks schemes, but started making mistakes and fumble similar the Buffalo.

639
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo is a better team that bore talent, but they

640
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: just gonna stop making mistakes and throwing throwing balls up

641
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: in the air between to receive with five guys around them.

642
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: So then the Patriots on his bo have really very

643
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: little talent. There's little lion don't not making mistakes and

644
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: without scheming it, what's the chances we see stid him

645
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: any time he gets in sever he closed the interception.

646
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean he could run. He's I know Jim Richard

647
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: sons with stouts, scouts, two of them, and they said,

648
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: but his junior year he was like one of the

649
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: top rated quarterbacks in the end in college and he

650
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: came his second his last year they had changed offenses

651
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: that didn't do as well. So he's talent. He runs,

652
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: he's got a good arm. But you know, if you

653
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: make a mistake when you go in beltch that's not

654
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: gonna put you back in. So I think I put

655
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: him in because I think Cam he said it. He

656
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: goes on the first count every single time. I would

657
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: have his ankles every time he snapped the ball. Because

658
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, Tom goes in. He's not a fast one.

659
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: He's not fast, but he's quick. He moves to the pocket.

660
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: But he goes on two, he goes on four, he

661
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: goes on two right, he changed his cadence and he

662
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: has the internal clock that says two point five seconds

663
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: stroll it right, And he doesn't have the clock. So

664
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: if they'll scheme him, they'll they'll they'll they'll penetrate on

665
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: him and were papers will try to run the ball

666
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: the best they can. Yeah, So I'll still him. I think,

667
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: I think after his second or third interception this week,

668
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: will probably stood them in. Fred, I don't know how

669
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: much of the Bills games you've watched at this point.

670
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: I watched them. Yeah, so give me your assessment of

671
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: the defensive line play. It's been a little bit of

672
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: a muddle here um through the first few weeks, although

673
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: they did kind of look like they gained some traction

674
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: last week. Well it was the Jets, right, my grandmother

675
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: could play them, you know what. Most teams are like

676
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: that because they didn't have the you know, any preparation time.

677
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: They didn't have a preseason. So they start out good

678
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: and then they start making mistakes because they're not haven't

679
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: had the repetition, and Buffalo Bills have to go mistakeless,

680
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: not worried about, you know, getting the big play, get

681
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: worried about turnover was and in in in you know,

682
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: poor plays for losses and things of that nature. So

683
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: I think they're they're inconsistent like every other team, But

684
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: you got whoever gets to the most consistent pol pot.

685
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: You're looking at every team. All team's on fire. Next

686
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: minute the tarbo ca't to see sure have been lost

687
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: a few times with all the firepowers they have, well

688
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: take the interosis and they just have to calm calm

689
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: down and play mistake free football. Yeah it sounds like, yeah,

690
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: you have been watching. I mean, and you're right. It

691
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: was the Jets. Um what about the what about the Patriots?

692
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: I mean, they had all those opt outs. I'm telling

693
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: you there's there's people up here. They had all the

694
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: guys opt out. Now they've got injuries. It looks like

695
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: Harry and Edelman will both be out of this game. Now.

696
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: Steph Gilmore's got a knee issue. Um got they got

697
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: some problems. Well he was you know, they're gonna rely

698
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: on him. But he's big, he's strong, he's slow and

699
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: runs allousy rout. I mean, I mean he can watch

700
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Edleman's hurt, you know, he's just gonna

701
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 1: be out. Um, and these guys are usually receivers, even

702
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: though they're great. They used to Tom putting the ball

703
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: right where they wanted. This kid chimps throwing them all

704
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: over the place. He threw it behind Edelman. Most of

705
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: us see, wasn't really open. They have a spot. You

706
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: know this that you're open for a second. With Tom,

707
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: the balls on its way as you make your break,

708
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: so the dB caip, you know, converge on you. He's

709
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: throwing it after he already made his break in the

710
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: DBS had a chance to break on it, so they

711
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: don't have any if what if Buffalo Bills play solid

712
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: football and don't make mistakes, they're a better team than

713
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: the Patriots and they should win it. Last one from me, Fred,

714
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: how have you been able to kind of navigate this

715
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: whole COVID thing with the restaurant? I mean, I gotta

716
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: imagine it's it's tough on everybody in the restaurant business.

717
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: But how are you? How are you guys? How are

718
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: you and DASI holding up? It's been closed since since March?

719
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: All right, that's still closed. They've chucked down my rail

720
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: state business, set down my telemarketing, I set down my

721
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: TV show everything. So if you tell me if you

722
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: have any extra money, you know, and we have all

723
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: turned We're doing okay, you know, my family and stuff.

724
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: I sit back sometimes I sit there and I said,

725
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: guy just spent If a guy just spent a million

726
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: dollars renovating a restaurant, he's really opened up the misstots

727
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: and they won't even let him go there, and his

728
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: whole life savings is in that restaurant. I feel feel

729
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: for these people one hundred times worse than we are.

730
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: We see these business residents, businesses shutting down all over

731
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: the place. Yeah, and they lost all the money with

732
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,479
Speaker 1: another recoup that. So I'm not, you know, crying about

733
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: myself as in doing okay. I feel for the people

734
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: that don't are not gonna have a chance to resurrect

735
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: what they started and the dreams that they had. You see,

736
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: the there was a shop up in one of these

737
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: areas that those knucklehead kids tore down. All the money

738
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: was into. They're watching them take stuff out of their store,

739
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: right and no one stops them. That baffles me. You know,

740
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's my store. I might be

741
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: sitting with about ten of all with my friends, and

742
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: they're not gonna take my story. So it's the problem

743
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: is that the government's leaving it up to the people

744
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: a little bit too much, you know they want So

745
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: that's sad, and I feel bad for all these people. Yeah, well, Freddy,

746
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'm so appreciate you coming on.

750
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,279

00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,200

762
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: in wrestling. And man, you imagine looking across the mat

763
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: at that guy. No thank you, yeah, no thank you.

764
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: He was like a gorilla in a singlet, you know,

765
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean he was. He gets his hands on you

766
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: and it is done, Like I Murph and I went

767
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: up to his restaurant last year with a few other guys,

768
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, in the media contingent. Uh, you know he was.

769
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: He was all over Murphy. If you gotta come up,

770
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: and you gotta come up and eat here. You know,

771
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: we got a big table all set up for you

772
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: get him. So, uh, you know, we ate up there

773
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: last year and it was great. You know, he was

774
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: he's bringing out stuff left and right. He was really

775
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: happy to see us. His wife was there. Um, and

776
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: so you know he's shooting the breeze with Murray. He's hilarious.

777
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: But um, oh, he's he's the great story. But great.

778
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: He comes up and he shakes my hand, and my

779
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: hand vanished like it disappeared. He was he probably was

780
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 1: halfway up my forearm, and I'm like, oh my god, God,

781
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,959
Speaker 1: he got one of the all time great senses of humor.

782
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: He laughed himself just like everybody. Um. And you can

783
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: tell by his you know, his little monologue there at

784
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: the end. The guy's you know, he's filterless. He's an entertainer. No,

785
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: there is no filter. Yeah, it's filterless and unfiltered. And

786
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: he uh uh. He was a guy that went to

787
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: five Pro Bowls at nose tackle for the Buffalo Bills.

788
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: When he first came in and he made the meat

789
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 1: a triangle with those guys. Haslett was a good friend

790
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: and a teammate of his. And I guess Jimmy Richard

791
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: is one of the uh as, one of the MI

792
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: guesses for taskers he made. Those two guys were inseparable,

793
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: Richard and smerless Um. So it was Yeah, Freddie was

794
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: one of the all time great teammates. I'll never forget this.

795
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: We were in Cleveland and when Marty Schottenheimer was the

796
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: coach of Cleveland way back in the day. And you know,

797
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: Bills fans from that era will remember Marty Schottenheimer's the

798
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: Cleveland head coach. This Bernie Kozar and those guys. You see,

799
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: this is a from that era. Here we're in Cleveland

800
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: and there's and a fight breaks out there on their

801
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: sideline up away out not in their bench, out and

802
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: out of their row on their sideline and there's a

803
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: fight that breaks out in this and I happened to

804
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: I was out there for some reason. I can't remember

805
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: believe I was out there is for a special team

806
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. There's a pile up or whatever, and all

807
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: you can see was just Cleveland guys. I was like, well,

808
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: what are they must be at what's going on, and

809
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: it's there and it was a long time. The officials

810
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 1: were standing there and something, and all of a sudden,

811
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: Derek Burrows, one of our other taskers teammates, was at

812
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: the bottom. Oh, and they were given him the business.

813
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: And the next day, I think it was in nineteen

814
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: eighty nine, and the next day in a team meeting,

815
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: fred Smerlas openly stood up and apologized to Kevin Derry Burrows,

816
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: because he goes, I swear to God, if I'd known

817
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: you were in there, I would never have gone. You know,

818
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: we would never have left you there, right because he

819
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: was down there, nobody was helping him, because we couldn't

820
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: even see him. He was just by. Oh my guys.

821
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: Freddie took that so hard, and not as hard as

822
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: Derry did after being right right, So, but that's the

823
00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: kind of guy he was. He stood up in open

824
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: apologized to him in front of all. We gotta say, listen,

825
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: if oh, there's that's a guy you want in a

826
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: dark alley somewhere, that's a guy like that's a guy

827
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: like Daryl Tally, it's a guy like John Feliciano. The

828
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: present day bills don't go killers man. If there is

829
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: a scuffle, their first man, he's not If he's not there,

830
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: he's on his way. Yeah. Yeah, so it's it's a

831
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: good guy to have. Yeah. All right, we have to

832
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we return, we'll get to

833
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: your phone calls at eight oh three, five fifty one,

834
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: eight fifty two, five fifty And there's some more practice

835
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: news concerning the Patriots today. We will tell you what

836
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: that is when we return here on One Bills Live,

837
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris Brown,

838
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, our number one of a Friday jam packed

839
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: edition of One Bills Live and the Patriots News from

840
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: their practice field. Stefan Gilmour not spotted during the stretching

841
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: portion of Patriots actice today, and obviously that puts his

842
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: availability for Sunday's game in further doubt. It came down

843
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: earlier today that after he was limited in practice on Thursday,

844
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: that he had an MRI on a knee that had

845
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: been giving him problems, and he is not practicing today,

846
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: So we'll obviously wait to see what the final designation

847
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 1: is for him with respect to Sunday's game against the Bills.

848
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: But they're already down. Julian Edelman also not seen at

849
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 1: practice for the Patriots on Friday, Nikhil Harry, who has

850
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 1: the concussion, so it sounds as though he's still in

851
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol and may not play on Sunday as well.

852
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: So if you take Edelman out of the equation, and

853
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: you take Nkiel Harry out of the equation, that is

854
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: the Patriots two top receivers. Two of their next three

855
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: top receivers are running backs James White and Rex Burkhead.

856
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 1: The next receiver on the list is Demere Bird, who's

857
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: probably getting like one or two who catches a game.

858
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: He may be in line to get a lot more,

859
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: but he's got to get open first. So they are

860
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: going to be supremely shorthanded if none of these players

861
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: can go on Sunday. Now that's not to say that

862
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: the Bills don't have their injury issues as well. I

863
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: mean they've got a pretty lengthy injury list too, but

864
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: not with some of these key principal players to the

865
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: degree that the Patriots do at this point, right. I mean,

866
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: they got demere Bird is five nine a buck eighty.

867
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: Then you've got your Kobe Myers, who's six two two hundred.

868
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: Matt Slater six foot two oh five, Isaiah's zuber. Yeah,

869
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: like do you even know these guys didn't even know half.

870
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: He's a rookie out of Mississippi State. Bills fans are

871
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: gonna be watching this game on Sunday going Gunner Olsuski.

872
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's their chief returnment, right, he's six foot

873
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: of buck ninety up. Ryan isz Hoo's the tight end.

874
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 1: Dalton Keynes a tight end. Yeah, those guys den threats

875
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: Assasia I can't remember. Have fun with that. Yeah, it's

876
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: Asia Si right at the end of it. So yeah,

877
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: it's I mean, this is not Patriots are gonna run

878
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: the ball fifty times if they get that many thousand

879
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: and eight New England Patriots. No, But we get to

880
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: Sunday and the winds blowing thirty five miles per hour

881
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: and it's raining. They don't have a quarterback that has

882
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: shown any propensity to throw the ball accurately. They don't

883
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: have any receivers that have shown an ability to get open.

884
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: I told you the stat yesterday, Steve next Gen's stat here. Okay,

885
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: since Week three, the Patriots receivers have gotten open their

886
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: definition of open whatever that might be, thirteen percent of

887
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: the time on their routes run and that is far

888
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: and away the lowest percentage in terms of success rate

889
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: and getting open in the NFL over that span. So

890
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: over the last five weeks they have been the least

891
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: effective receiving corps and getting open. And now they're down

892
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: Edelman and probably nikkil Harry as well, their second leading

893
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: receiver for Sunday's game. So best of luck with that one.

894
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't think any Bills fans are crying any tears

895
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: over it, and I don't think anybody's gonna feel sorry

896
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: for them, especially in light of all the success that

897
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: they've had over the years. But this is getting down to, yeah,

898
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: the nitty gritty for them, and they can put on

899
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: the field. The conditions are gonna have a lot to

900
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: say about how this game goes. I think too, it's

901
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to score a lot of points in

902
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 1: conditions that we're looking at, and when it's mid forties

903
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: and raining in twenty mile hour wins, it's gonna be

904
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: a bad day. And you know, this is one of

905
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: those days where Bills fans, I mean, I know it's

906
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and I know you're in the middle of

907
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: a really good season and all that, but this is

908
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those for your personal comfort that

909
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna be just fine watching it on the on

910
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: the couch. It's gonna be nasty out and it's it's

911
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 1: going to affect the outcome of the game. Ball handling

912
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: is going to be an issue. Turnover, they're going to

913
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: be an issue for both teams, and whoever plays the

914
00:49:55,080 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: most mistake Freeze gonna win, certainly the pay. They don't

915
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: have a clue what they're gonna look like or what

916
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: their identity is going to be for this game. They

917
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: haven't been able to find it all a year and

918
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: Cam hasn't been helping them. You don't want to let

919
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: them get on track against you, No, but the weather

920
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: might make them one dimensional, even more so than the

921
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: Bills will on defense. I mean with what we're well,

922
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: we're waiting to look, we're anticipating we'll be looking at

923
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 1: on Sunday, which is rain and winds up to thirty

924
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: five miles and it's prime. Cam Newton can throw it

925
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: through the wind and Josh we know can as well. Right,

926
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: So there's that Josh is scoreboard end is a different animal. Though.

927
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: You can't go into the scoreboard end to the forest,

928
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: to the visitor's side of the field and that corner,

929
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: forget it. You can't throw it in there. And I

930
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: don't care if you're Josh Allen or sometimes you can't

931
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: kick it either. Yeah, you're not. Even if you're you know,

932
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: the jugs machine, You're not throwing it into that corner. So,

933
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: but that's kind of widely known as well. But when

934
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: you're going with the wind, yeah, the old bets are off,

935
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: you can probably throw it a little bit. But you know,

936
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: then if it's going to rain and the gusting wind

937
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: is yeah, it's it's gonna be a bad day. And

938
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna who handles it the best is gonna win.

939
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us, But when we return

940
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,640

972
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: go to the phones. Eight oh three, five fifty and

973
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: leading us off in this segment is Mike in Lakeview.

974
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live.

975
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: How the goal? Can you hear me? Okay, yeah, we

976
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: hear You're fine, all right. I don't know if Steve

977
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: was on the team. I can't even remember what team

978
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: we were playing at the time, because we're sitting in

979
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: the end zone and we were a little slightly advanced,

980
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: but we're on defense and the ball was on the

981
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: goal line. First down, can't get any closer. There's the

982
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: quarterback mumble for something. Smerless goes flying into the center,

983
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: sends him slamming into the quarterback. LL penalty on the build.

984
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: But what can they do? They can't even move the ball,

985
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: so he does in a second time slams into him

986
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: and then the rest went over and h had a

987
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: little talk with him, basically tell him, I guess they're

988
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: gonna throw him out of the game if he kept

989
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: doing it. But at the time, the Jets were pretty hot.

990
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 1: Where you have hardly been the Jet. I don't want

991
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: to waste too much time, but I do have a

992
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: Steve Pastor story. Was the playoff game, either it was

993
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: Denver or Kansas City. He lined up in the slide

994
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: and I got up and started screaming a chair and saying,

995
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: excellent seas as for a touchdown. People thought I was

996
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: nuts because I knew the place and you ran a

997
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: fly route or a FoST rounte, whatever you want to

998
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: call it, and you took off. Kelly laid the ball

999
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: out and you just ran right under it touchdown. It

1000
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: was beautiful, And I'll just hang up and listen. Yeah,

1001
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: Mike's happy. You made him look good, I think more

1002
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 1: than anything else. So well done on that. There. You go,

1003
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: very nice. You don't remember any of that. I often

1004
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: wonder why more defensive linemen don't do what Fred did?

1005
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: You know, if it's on the one inch line and

1006
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: there's a very strong chance they're gonna get in any way.

1007
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: Why not make life difficult for them? And Freddy was

1008
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: the offsides jumping his nose tackle of all time. We

1009
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: would Frank Reich and Jim Kelly would bet fred that

1010
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: they could make him jump off sides in practice. Oh boy,

1011
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: how do you jump off sides in practice on a

1012
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: bet when you're betting that you won't? Don't you just

1013
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: kind of stand there and let the ball be snapped

1014
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: and then you have complete control on the outcome of

1015
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: that bet. Freddy would lose the bet. Oh wow, it's unbelievable.

1016
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: Oh boy. Okay, eight oh three, oh five fifty. We

1017
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: go to Jake in Canada next, Jake, what do you

1018
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: have for us? Welcome to the show. How's it going, guys? Good? Okay?

1019
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: So I made a bold prediction on Bilton Buffalo's Live

1020
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: show Tuesday. It's called the Bill's Bunker. I don't know

1021
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: if he's seen it, no, but the prediction I had

1022
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: was Reggie Gilliam, We'll have a touchdown and two receptions.

1023
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: And my reasoning for this is there's so much to

1024
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: game plan on the Bills offense. There's so much to

1025
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: game plan for defensively. We know Bill Belchicks and Mastermind,

1026
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: but that might be the guy who's left out him

1027
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: and Lee Smith's been activated today too, So can I

1028
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on that please. So you're thinking, Jake,

1029
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 1: that they're gonna go with the guys that they're least

1030
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: expecting to make a play in the red zone, and

1031
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: we've seen that already. Both of those guys have a

1032
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: touchdown this season. Gilliam had a touchdown on his first

1033
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: career reception in Miami in Week two, and then Lee

1034
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: Smith had one here. I want to say it was

1035
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: against the Rams in Week three? Was against the Rams? Yeah?

1036
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: I think it was against the Rams. Was that a

1037
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: sequenced in the Rams when the Bill scored three or

1038
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: four times and only one of them counted? Yeah, So yeah,

1039
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: Reggie Gilliams scored in was a Miami Yeah, Miami week

1040
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: first career reception. Yeah, yeah, that's that's not outlandish. Certainly.

1041
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 1: I think the Bills have got to do something better

1042
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 1: in the red zone that they did against the Jets.

1043
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: They stalled out every single drive they had in the

1044
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: red zone. They moved the ball all the way all

1045
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: up and down the field, but they came up short

1046
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 1: every single time. And you know, hence you got eight

1047
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: field goal attempts by Tyler Bass. Yeah. Reggie gilliam is

1048
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: a guy who's been active every game. He's played a

1049
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: lot of snaps and there's every reason to believe that

1050
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: the guy may get a chance in the red zone.

1051
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 1: That's where they come in handy, particularly if the Bill

1052
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: run the football on a bad weather day. When you

1053
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: get in the red zone and you're gonna pound it

1054
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: in there and they kind of bear up to stop it,

1055
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: you can you can easily envisioned one of these tight

1056
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: ends turning around and catching a pass you are deep

1057
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Yeah, And do you go that

1058
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: far down the ladder to try to Outsmart Belichick or

1059
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: do you go with your best? Best on best? I mean,

1060
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: if Gilmore is not playing, I don't know, as you

1061
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. To be quite honest with you,

1062
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs might be able to handle this group. And

1063
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: if John Brown's back, and he seems to be trending

1064
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: in the direction that he will be playing on Sunday,

1065
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: after full practices on Wednesday and Thursday, I don't know

1066
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: that you have to go that far down the pecking

1067
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: orders to keep him off balance. For me, they don't

1068
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: have Steph Gilmore, Yes, they but Steph Gilmore. And you

1069
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: remember last year when Josh Allen was struggling with the

1070
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: deep ball, John Brown torched the Patriots deep a couple

1071
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: of times and Josh couldn't hit him. You don't think

1072
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to do that without Steph Gilmour

1073
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: in the lineup for the Patriots and John Brown in

1074
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: the lineup and Steph Digs added to the mix. The

1075
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: only thing that's going to keep him from doing that

1076
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: is forty mile an hour gusts and rain. That's it.

1077
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: This is a team that So if you go in

1078
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: knowing that, if you're the Buffalo Bills, or at least

1079
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: believing that, and if you think the Patriots think the

1080
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: same way, the Patriots are gonna have to do something

1081
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: else to keep you off the scoreboard and away from

1082
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: the deep ball. Now, maybe they'll drop everybody out and

1083
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: play soft coverage and force you to throw it short. Fine,

1084
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: or they get after Josh. They get after him and

1085
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: bring some pressure and he's got to get the rid

1086
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: of the ball right now. That before the guys can

1087
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: even stretch the field vertically. It's interesting that you mentioned

1088
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: that because John Feliciano was talking about just that. He

1089
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: was talking about how the stunt and twist games of

1090
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots is probably the most is going to be

1091
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge for them in terms of deciphering exactly

1092
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: what they're doing. So we'll have to see where it

1093
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: goes and if it does become an issue for pass protection.

1094
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: That's been the one area where I think the offensive

1095
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: line has been quite good. Back to the phones and

1096
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: we go to Tom and Buffalo. Tom, you're on one

1097
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. What do you have for us? Sir? All right,

1098
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. I live in Buffalo now.

1099
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: But back in the seventies, I was a football coach

1100
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: and a wrestling coach in Waltham and coach Freddie. Oh yeah,

1101
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: we actually snagged him on his way to try off

1102
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: for basketball. His brother was the captain of the basketball

1103
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: team and he was headed to the tryouts and John

1104
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: Passerini dragged him into the wrestling room and convinced that

1105
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: he'd be a better wrestler than he would be a

1106
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: basketball player. But I gotta tell you one story when

1107
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: he was a junior. He was wrestling in the state

1108
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: championship and they at the time the weight classes unlimited

1109
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: for heavyweight, and Freddy weight like two fifty. But he

1110
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: wrestled his kid named Haja, who was four hundred pounds.

1111
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: The kid was stalling and trying to run away from Freddie.

1112
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,919
Speaker 1: So Freddie got him in and then over and under,

1113
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: and he tried to ladder will drop and slipped and

1114
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: went right to his head into a high bridge and

1115
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: in a flash he bench pressed the kid, threw him

1116
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,959
Speaker 1: off of him, jumped on top of him and pinned

1117
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: him in the state championship. And there's like a thousand

1118
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Freddie stories I could tell you of Holy Cow, he

1119
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: bench pressed a four hundred pound guy though office absolutely

1120
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: and another case we brought him into mt where they

1121
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: had this guy Irland. Then lifted Jude was who was

1122
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: the new England heavyweight champ and wrestling, and Freddie kept

1123
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: on trying to shoot a double a tackle and the

1124
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: kid kept on sprawling him on. I mean the kid

1125
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: was like three hundred and fifty pounds, and finally Freddie

1126
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: shot in and lifted him up and had him off

1127
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: the ground on top of his shoulders. And Will Chassis,

1128
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: the wrestling coach at the MTS the Treddy, He's mine,

1129
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: New England champ put him down, and Freddie said in

1130
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: his deep pois what reward him here? Right on the mat?

1131
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: What do you want them? Oh? That's good, that's goods

1132
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: appreciate two good stories there, Thank you very much. Have

1133
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: a good weekend. Um, we'll get one more in here

1134
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: before we have to take a break because we do

1135
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: have NFL films, Great Cosel coming up in just a

1136
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: few minutes. We go to Dave in Florida. Dave, what

1137
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Welcome to One Bill's Live. Hey, guys,

1138
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: are doing very right, good good, All right, listen. I'm

1139
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: just worried about all the hype of the game. I

1140
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: think it's too much, too much brain worth, too much

1141
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: talking about this New England. They don't have Brady or

1142
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Gronkowsky no more. The only one you got to worry

1143
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: about is Belichick. I think I hope you're cutching my

1144
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: drift back into my day. It was Dan Marino and

1145
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: a Dolphins in that nonsense. I just don't want too

1146
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: much in their head. I want to go out and

1147
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: play football. Buffalo football. Yeah, well, I think Josh Allen

1148
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: has echoed those sentiments, which gives you an indication as

1149
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: to what the message has been from the coaching staff

1150
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: this week. And I mean coach has kind of just said, hey,

1151
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: it's important, it's a division game, but let's not make

1152
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots into this fifty foot you know, Trojan horse

1153
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: or something. This is this is another team that we

1154
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: can hang with and beat if we do what we

1155
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: need to do correctly and as error free as possible.

1156
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, that's my point. Yeah, I get you. I

1157
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: get it too, Dave, because and this is, let's face

1158
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: it too, this is twenty twenty. For all the things

1159
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: that's different about it, and we know all know what

1160
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: those are, it's also a different kind of Bills atmosphere.

1161
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: This is a team we all expect to win. This

1162
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: is a team that's expected to win the division, a

1163
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: team that's expected to go to the playoffs, a team

1164
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: that's expected to get a home playoff game. We're in

1165
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: uncharted territory for an entire generation of Bills fans. They

1166
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 1: are used to this, and they have to see their team,

1167
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 1: this team overcome this game where the other team has

1168
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: no chance. Rarely has this generation of Bills fans gone

1169
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: through a time, and they've been particularly with this new

1170
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: England team. Are you kidding me? Where the Pages don't

1171
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: have a chance, you know, And there's kind of that

1172
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: vibe coming out of here now where Edelman's out, nikkil

1173
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Harry's out, you know, get Steph Gilmour might not be out.

1174
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: They got four or five opt outs on their defense.

1175
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: They you know, they their receivers are nobody we ever

1176
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: heard of. Gronkowski's not there, Brady's not there. They've got

1177
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: no chance of beating this own and your team's got

1178
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: to handle that. And you know, it's a little different

1179
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: than it has been in the past. So a lot

1180
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: of Bills fans, like Dave in Florida, was like, man, hey, hey,

1181
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: you better show up. And that's something that Bills fans

1182
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: of a certain generation, this most recent generation, have not

1183
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: had to deal with very much. Yeah, and it's gonna

1184
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: be an adjustment, but one I think Bills fans is

1185
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: gonna be all too happy to make. We have to

1186
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: take a break because coming up next here will be

1187

Speaker 1: game between the Bills and the Patriots, and how this

1191
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: thing could unfold and just what the heck is causing

1192
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Cam Newton so many problems. We'll get to him when

Speaker 1: for us. Well, you know, I had to be in

01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: my monkey suit earlier when we take the Matchup show.

1205
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: But I figured I knew you guys weren't formal, so

1206
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,040
Speaker 1: I took off my coat and tie. We appreciate. I

1207
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: figured I'd go casual. If that's Tasker doesn't mind, Yeah,

1208
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: not at all making us look bad. The Adidas sweatsuit

Speaker 1: We got a whole generation of people that don't know

1213
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: what it is to be favored against the Patriots or

1214
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: think you're supposed to beat them. What's wrong with them

1215
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: this year? What's their biggest issue or maybe if there's

1216
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: more than one, one are the biggest ones? Well, I

1217
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: think they're really struggling offensively. And that's normally we don't

1218
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: think about the Patriots as a team that struggles offensively. Um,

1219
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, we always would think of the Patriots if

1220
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: they had a bad offensive game they put up twenty

1221
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: or twenty four. Now they are really struggling to move

1222
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: the ball. Uh. Certainly, Cam Newton has not played particularly well.

1223
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,439
Speaker 1: I think he spoke a lot this week, and he'd

1224
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: be the first to admit that it's as you know, Steve,

1225
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: it's an accountability business. It's all on tape. You can't

1226
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: say everything's great when it's not because it's all there

1227
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: for everybody to see. Uh. You know, I think when

1228
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: you look at Cam over these last number of weeks,

1229
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: he's not seeing things with the necessary clarity, so he's

1230
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: leaving throws on the field. What that means is he's

1231
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: not turning it loose to open receivers within the context

1232
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: of the play call and the route concepts. And he's

1233
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: also missing throws with poor accuracy, so he's been struggling

1234
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: in that area. He seems to me watching tape to

1235
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: be playing very deliberately, as if it's just not happening

1236
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: at the necessary speed. There's a very fine line, obviously

1237
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: when you play quarterback between playing with the necessary speed

1238
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: and tempo and playing too fast. But he just looks

1239
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: very very deliberate to me when I watch him now.

1240
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: One thing that they have done pretty well is run

1241
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: the ball, at least in the earlier stages of the season.

1242
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: But then you look at their personnel groupings greg and

1243
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: they're doing it in much different fashion than they used to.

1244
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: And maybe that's a byproduct of the fact that they

1245
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: don't feel like they have too many tight ends they

1246
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: feel like they can count on as compared to years past,

1247
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: because they're all most running exclusively eleven and ten personnel

1248
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: so far this season, no two tight end sets really

1249
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: to speak of on any of their game tape. So

1250
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: how is it they are being successful in the run game?

1251
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Is it mostly read option and stuff like that? Horizontal stuff?

1252
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: What are we what are we looking at? Well, certainly

1253
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: Newton's had been a major factor in their rushing yardage.

1254
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: That's the area in rush he's probably done best. And

1255
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense if you're Josh McDaniels, to incorporate

1256
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: and integrate the design run game dimensions into your offense,

1257
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: no question. I really thought, actually last week Damian Harris,

1258
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: I thought he ran extremely well, and he's a back

1259
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: guy very much liked coming out of Alabama, and he's

1260
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: obviously getting an opportunity now with Sony Michelle, I believe

1261
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: still on IR. So I think that again, I don't

1262
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: know how Josh McDaniels is going to think. It sounds

1263
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: like the weather is not going to be conducive to

1264
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: tossing the ball around the yard on Sunday in Buffalo,

1265
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: So I would expect Damian Harris to get some meaningful carries.

1266
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: I would also expect to see a lot of multiple

1267
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: run game dimensions, not only Harris but with Newton, I'd

1268
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: expect to see Birkhead in the game doing a number

1269
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: of things. I'd expect to see, you know, jet sweep

1270
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: with the mere bird who's got speed. I would expect

1271
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,879
Speaker 1: to see them things to try to jump start the offense,

1272
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: just to gain yards, because right now they are struggling

1273
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: to really sustain any kind of offense. Do you anticipate

1274
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,679
Speaker 1: an unlikely tactic by the Bills is to pack the box.

1275
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Dare them to throw it that kind of thing, even though,

1276
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: and go zero coverage, and just particularly with Edelman out

1277
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: and to Kiel Harry being questionable with it a concussion,

1278
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 1: those two guys off the top of the receiver list,

1279
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: you might think you can go zero coverage and win

1280
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: all day. Yeah, I mean, I don't think Leslie and

1281
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Sean are going to go zero as a foundation. They

1282
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: could do it on some snaps here and there, depending

1283
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: on down a distance, feel location, things of that nature,

1284
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: but I certainly would them to They're certainly going to

1285
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: play single high. I would, you know a good part

1286
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: of the time whether Poyer predominantly tends to be in

1287
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 1: the box more so than Highe, but they do interchange,

1288
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: so I would definitely expect that to be the case.

1289
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see the Patriots. We know that Bill

1290
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Belichick and Josh McDaniels are our expansive thinkers, So what

1291
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: we've seen while they've been struggling isn't necessarily what we're

1292
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: going to see Sunday. I would expect to see some

1293
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: different things tactically. Whether they're successful, we can't answer that.

1294
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,679
Speaker 1: But I don't think that Bill Belichick's just gonna line

1295
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: up and do the same thing, given that they have

1296
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: really struggled offensively. What did you make of the Bills

1297
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 1: blitz concepts that they deployed last week against the Jets.

1298
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean they got defensive backs involved in their their

1299
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: blitz packages, and I mean at the end of the game,

1300
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 1: you got three or four defensive backs that factored in

1301
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: on sacks. I know that the Jets we're playing, you know,

1302
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: tighter splits and that kind of help guys get around

1303
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 1: the edge a little bit better. But what were your

1304
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Bills blitz packages last week? Well, it's

1305
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 1: also the opponent. I mean, you definitely want to blitz

1306
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: that old line. You definitely want to blitz Darnold, who

1307
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: tends to be frenetic and play fast. So as a

1308
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: function of the opponent. They have a blitz scheme, which

1309
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: a lot of teams have, and the Bills do it

1310
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: extremely well, where they line up Milano and Edmonds in

1311
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 1: the A gaps and you know how offenses will pass

1312
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: protect against that, and then they bring the slot corner

1313
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 1: in this case it was Johnson. Sometimes they would bring

1314
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: a boundary corner Tdavious White. They did that earlier this season,

1315
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 1: I believe, But they bring they bring someone off the

1316
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 1: edge because you know, in that particular concept with two

1317
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 1: in the A gaps that the center and the back

1318
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: are responsible for those two and there's not going to

1319
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: be anyone who's going to account for the blitzer off

1320
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: the edge. So that's that's one of their favorite blitz tactics.

1321
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: And even Johnson did not get credit for that sack.

1322
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: I believe that was used getting credit for that sack.

1323
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: It might even have been the fumble that the Jets recovered,

1324
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: but I know Marlow had a sack. But that was

1325
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: actually what we call a green dog, Chris. They were

1326
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: playing man coverage versus a two tight ends set, and

1327
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: both tight ends stayed in and blocked, so Marlow then

1328
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: added into the pressure, so he got I think half

1329
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: a sack on that, But that was not a pure

1330
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: blitz by Marlow. As we talk about the other side

1331
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: of the football, the Bills offense, and this is something

1332
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: that that's really interesting to me. Now, the conditions, the

1333
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: weather conditions are gonna have something to say about this,

1334
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: but this seems to be, particularly with Stefan Gilmore having

1335
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: a knee issue and maybe out of the game, the

1336
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: Bill's wide receiver corps really seems to be a positive

1337
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: matchup for the Bills and ifs But if that's the case,

1338
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: what do the Patriots how do they encounter with that?

1339
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,679
Speaker 1: Do they go coverage and invite the Bills to drop

1340
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: everything underneath they keep the lid on the defense, or

1341
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: do they defend the pass at the front end and

1342
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,839
Speaker 1: try and get after Josh album They probably do both, obviously,

1343
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: but this Bill's team goes pretty deep at wide receiver. Yeah,

1344
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean, depending on the conditions. Look, we know Josh

1345
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: can throw it through anything, but again, it is a

1346
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: function of the conditions. You know, if it's pouring pouring rain,

1347
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: it is hard to throw the ball a lot. If

1348
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: it's just let's say a drizzle about windy, then maybe

1349
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: you can throw it a bit, because Josh has an

1350
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 1: arm that can cut through probably anything. My sense is

1351
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots have shown that against quarterbacks that can run,

1352
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 1: and there were more design runs this week. They've played

1353
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, they've played Patrick Mahomes. In those games, they

1354
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: played far more zone coverage than we're used to seeing

1355
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 1: from the Patriots. So I would expect them to play

1356
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: more zone and basically say, you know what, you're gonna

1357
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:52,719
Speaker 1: need to go eleven twelve plays and score touchdowns because

1358
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 1: obviously there were red zone issues this week. They were

1359
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: over five in the red zone. The Jets did are

1360
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: pretty good job of keeping things underneath, you know, forcing

1361
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Josh to keep it underneath. Josh did miss which should

1362
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown to Cole Beasley at about three

1363
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: minutes of the second quarter. Only he could tell you

1364
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: why he didn't throw that, But he didn't miss that.

1365
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 1: But other than that, and other than the throw to Craft,

1366
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: which was actually a great read and great throw by

1367
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: Josh versus disguised cover too, he made a great throw,

1368
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:26,560
Speaker 1: he read it. Other than that, they really did not

1369
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 1: have any kind of intermediate or vertical passing game. So

1370
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 1: I would think the Patriots would say, you know what,

1371
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to go eleven, twelve, thirteen plays to score.

1372
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see, guys, and you're there. I'm not

1373
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: if Zach Moss is more involved as a so called

1374
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: number one back in this game, because I think he's

1375
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: He's got that sustaining, competitive urgent element to his running

1376
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: and this might be a game where you know, four

1377
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: or five yards is a good game. Yeah. I wanted

1378
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on the running game in a

1379
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: little bit different way because we saw what the forty

1380
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 1: nine ers were able to do last week and kind

1381
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: of crossing up that front seven for the Patriots, they

1382
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: got their eyes in the wrong place an awful lot

1383
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 1: that didn't look like they adjust very well to the

1384
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: forty nine ers pre snap motion. Yeah, can you break

1385
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,719
Speaker 1: that down for us in terms of what you felt

1386
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots failed to do consistently there in giving up

1387
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: as many rushing yards as they did. Well, I'll answer

1388
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:30,759
Speaker 1: it this ry quick, Chris. Keep in mind that that's

1389
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 1: foundational to the forty nine ers, right. The forty nine

1390
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: ers didn't go into that game and say, you know what,

1391
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 1: we're going to do something different against the Patriots. What's

1392
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: foundational to the forty nine ers is a ton of motion.

1393
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: In fact, I know they led the league in number

1394
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: of snaps with motion a year ago. I don't have

1395
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 1: that number in front of me for this year, but

1396
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're in the top three or four. And also,

1397
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: the runs that are for other teams might be viewed

1398
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,919
Speaker 1: as a little bit outside the box are not outside

1399
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the box for the Niners. You know, the jet sweeps,

1400
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:04,640
Speaker 1: the orbit reverses, all those things, the use of Samuel

1401
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, on those kinds of runs where they toss

1402
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 1: it to them. Those things are sort of part and

1403
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: parcel of what the Niners do. They're not what the

1404
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,560
Speaker 1: Bills do. Now, having said that, when you see a

1405
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: team struggle with motion, and struggling with motion is a

1406
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: number of things. It's number one, how do you deal

1407
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: with it whether you're in man or zone? And number two,

1408
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 1: you hit it right on the head. It grabs the

1409
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: eyes of second level defenders. And you want to see

1410
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: how the Patriots react to that, because in the NFL,

1411
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 1: it just takes one beat or one bad step, as

1412
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 1: you guys know, and that's the problem. So I would

1413
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: absolutely count on them using some motion in this game.

1414
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: They're normally not a heavy motion team, as you know,

1415
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 1: but I think that you have to you have to

1416
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: test that with the Patriots this week. Yeah, and I

1417
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: think this is going to be one of those games.

1418
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: And I get back to what you said about Zack Moss. Yeah,

1419
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: his productivity and this this coaching staff with Shall McDermott

1420
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: in company. When a player starts to play well, he

1421
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: gets more opportunities. And Zach Moss, certainly, I would agree

1422
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: with you. Zack Moss's production certainly deserves more and I

1423
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: think you probably will see him more on the field,

1424
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: and I think he fits, you know, given what this

1425
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,600
Speaker 1: game is likely to be weatherwise, He's he's he's a

1426
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 1: sustaining back. He's a sustaining grinder and in this game,

1427
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,679
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, you know, four or five

1428
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: yards is a big deal in a game where you're

1429
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: probably not going to get a lot of big plays

1430
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: in the passing game unless something you know, changes with

1431
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: the weather. But you know, he's Look, he was a

1432
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: third round pick. It's not he wasn't a throwaway pick.

1433
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 1: Zach Moss was a really productive college back He's got

1434
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: a very defined style of running. You know, the reason

1435
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: he's a third round pick is because he's not explosive

1436
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:51,560
Speaker 1: and would not be viewed as special. But he is

1437
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: a hard nosed, competitive, determined, urgent downhill runner, and I

1438
01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: think this game kind of demands that. Well. I'm guessing that, um,

1439
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 1: Steelers Ravens was on your guys radar for the matchup

1440
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 1: show this week. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's Chris, we

1441
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: missed that game. I mean, it's building. It's build is

1442
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 1: the biggest rivalry in the in the league, and you

1443
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 1: understand why. I mean, those teams go out of tooth

1444
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: and nail every single year, it seems. Um. The interesting

1445
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: thing is how much the Ravens passing game has struggled. Um. Yes,

1446
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: I mean that was basically the main focus of our

1447
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,640
Speaker 1: section on that game, because we've been spending a lot

1448
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 1: of time in the last number of weeks talking about

1449
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Ravens were coming off of buy,

1450
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: so we really focused on just what you said, So

1451
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: what did you pull out of that over two hundred

1452
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 1: yards and four consecutive games. Yeah, and teams have really

1453
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: tactically done specific things within their own concepts to take

1454
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:54,759
Speaker 1: away their passing game. Teams have really loaded the box,

1455
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:59,680
Speaker 1: squeezed everything inside. Keep in mind that the Ravens foundationally

1456
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: are built on Lamar Jackson as a runner, not as

1457
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: a ball distributor. So teams are taking away him throwing

1458
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: the ball inside because everything works off the run game.

1459
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: And they're basically daring that offense and Lamar to throw

1460
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: it outside the numbers. And I think at some point

1461
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: they're going to have to do that to really take

1462
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 1: that next step. Yeah, and the problem there, And it's

1463
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: interesting you mentioned that because that was the Bills approach

1464
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,600
Speaker 1: with the Ravens last year. In a December matchup up

1465
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. They dared Lamar Jackson to throw outside

1466
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: the numbers and he struggled with that. Now, the Ravens

1467
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 1: still won the game, but it was a tight game

1468
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,719
Speaker 1: for almost start to finish. And I mean the Ravens

1469
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: won twenty four to seventeen. But they took a similar

1470
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: approach there, saying all right, Lamar, let me see if

1471
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: you can throw it, you know, from the far hash

1472
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. And he had trouble doing it. Yeah,

1473
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, the Bengals were such a good example.

1474
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: There are four three team obviously like the Bills, but

1475
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: what the Bengals did is they basically played a four

1476
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 1: three stack Chris and they had their two safeties literally

1477
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: like three yards behind the stacked linebackers. I mean, they

1478
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: were basically saying, you're not going to work the middle

1479
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: of the field. Number one, We're gonna take away the

1480
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: run because we literally have nine guys who are going

1481
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: to defend the run, and we also have two safeties

1482
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:16,799
Speaker 1: who we don't really care about them as past defenders.

1483
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to as past defenders as far as

1484
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: you know. You know, they're so close to the line

1485
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. So they basically said to the Ravens, you're

1486
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw it outside. Now. Obviously the Ravens

1487
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: won that game handily for many other reasons, but teams

1488
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: within their own particular concepts are taking away all these

1489
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,040
Speaker 1: throws to the tight end in the middle of the field.

1490
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: They're they're basically saying, we're gonna stop your run. You

1491
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 1: got to throw it outside. They're gonna have to do

1492
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: that at some point, and they signed Dez Bryant this

1493
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: last week to see if they could get that done.

1494
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: Is That's how I mean, he's on the practice squad

1495
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:51,640
Speaker 1: right now. But what do he is? What he is

1496
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: in his career right now? Right? And so Steve, I

1497
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: can't speak to what he is, but isn't it I

1498
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: mean obviously they know they need something side there in

1499
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: the past, right, Yeah, that's it seems a little bit

1500
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 1: desperate to me to get somebody out on the outside,

1501
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: and I think that speaks volumes about where they think

1502
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: they are. Also, what else is going on in the

1503
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: AFC East two? Attaga Voloa is going to get the

1504
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: start in Miami against the Rams. Tell us about what

1505
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: you expect with the Miami Dolphins. I forget about the quarterback.

1506
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 1: The Rams are headed into Miami. What about this game? Well, well,

1507
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 1: needless to say too has been the topic of a

1508
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: lot of conversation this week. And all I can do

1509
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: is tell you what I saw when I watched him

1510
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: in college. And you know, I think that he's a

1511
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 1: very rhythmic player. I think he's got really quick feet

1512
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: on his drop and set. The ball comes out with

1513
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 1: great timing. He's accurate in the short intermediate area, does

1514
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 1: throw a pretty nice deep ball as well. But he's

1515
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 1: a rhythm player. He's not, you know, to me, he's

1516
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: not Russell Wilson to me, if he's to reach his ceiling.

1517
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,720
Speaker 1: And I actually found out that Nick Saban feels the

1518
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: same way. So I felt pretty good about that because

1519
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: I think he probably knows a little more football than

1520
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 1: I do. But I think to reach his ceiling, he'd

1521
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: have to be a player like Brees. That's the way

1522
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 1: he would have to play. Be very rhythmic, great sense

1523
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: of timing, great feel for the position. Not that he's immobile.

1524
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: It's not that he's a statue and Drew Brees wasn't either.

1525
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees was actually a very good athlete when he

1526
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: was younger. But I think for the most part two

1527
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 1: will be a timing, rhythm thrower. And then the last

1528
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: one for me is the Seahawks Niners matchup. We know

1529
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are having a ton of trouble stopping anybody

1530
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 1: these days, and they've tried to add to their defensive

1531
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: ranks to improve that, you know, with the trade this

1532
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: week getting done lap from the Bengals. But where do

1533
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: you feel the problems lie there? I mean, they've got

1534
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 1: an All Pro and Bobby Wagner at the second level.

1535
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: I know Jamal Adams has been hurt, but man, people

1536
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 1: are just blowing by those guys every single week. It seems. Well,

1537
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this and again, everything I talk about

1538
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: has to do with tape study. I don't think Bobby

1539
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: Wagner has played as well this year. You know, not

1540
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: that he's a bad player, but I don't think he's

1541
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: played at the level we come to expect from Bobby Wagen. Okay,

1542
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: so you know they can't rush the quarterback their secondary.

1543
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: I know that Shaquille Griffin, I guess may not go

1544
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: this week. We don't know that yet. I think it's

1545
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. So any past, any secondary will struggle. If

1546
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,480
Speaker 1: you can't rush the quarterback. At some point, the secondary

1547
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,759
Speaker 1: will struggle. And right now they cannot rush the quarterback

1548
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 1: at all. And Dunlap's not going this week, so we'll see.

1549
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: But the Niners are not a throwball team unless the

1550
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 1: game demands it. They don't go into a game saying, hey,

1551
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy g we want you to drop back forty times,

1552
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 1: no matter who's playing running back, and it's probably going

1553
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: to be hasty. They're going to run the football and

1554
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,839
Speaker 1: work off of that as you go down the standings

1555
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 1: around the national football One team that's kind of flying

1556
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: under the radar is the foreign to Indianapolis Colts. They

1557
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: get off to a kind of a bumpy start for

1558
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers kind of found his rhythm. Eberflus, the defensive

1559
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 1: coordinator for Frank Reich, has started to come around and

1560
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: they've started to play a little bit better. They're playing

1561
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 1: Detroit this week. How how do you see that interconference

1562
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 1: game going? You know, I'm gonna answer it this way.

1563
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,760
Speaker 1: I think the most overlook, really really good quarterback in

1564
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 1: this league is Matthew Stafford. And I know he's only

1565
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: been a one playoff game and he didn't win it,

1566
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: But when you watch his tape, and I've been doing

1567
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: this for years, I think he's he's close to being

1568
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: a special player. Now he's on a team that can't

1569
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to run the ball. Their defense is bad.

1570
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 1: But I'm really curious to see how this plays out

1571
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: in Detroit because the Colts have a good defense, clearly,

1572
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,600
Speaker 1: but it's a pretty defined defense. They rush for They

1573
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 1: played more Cover two than any team in the league.

1574
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: They play Cover one. Those are their two predominant coverages.

1575
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: You know, what you're going to get. The Lions have

1576
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: some pretty good weapons on the outside, so I'm really

1577
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,440
Speaker 1: anxious to see this game from the standpoint of Detroit's

1578
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:49,639
Speaker 1: offense versus the Colts defense. All Right, Greg, as always,

1579
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: we thank you for breaking it down for us. We

1580
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it and enjoy the games this weekend. All right, guys,

1581
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Thanks so much. All right, Greg Cosal

1582
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: from NFL Films and also from ESPN NFL Matchup Show,

1583
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: which you can watch every weekend on Saturday and Sunday

1584
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: mornings on ESPN two and on ESPN. We will take

1585
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: a break, but when we return, we'll get to the

1586
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 1: tweet sheet and see what is in the OBL mailbag

1587
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: that's coming up next here on One Bill's Life presented

1588
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio les broad Steve

1589
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 1: Chaster closing up our number two of the show, and

1590
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: we want to do that with the OBL mailbag. And

1591
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,760
Speaker 1: as you know, your responses on the tweet sheet are

1592
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,639
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1593
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills and Steve. We begin

1594
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: a little bit here with a bit of a venting

1595
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: Nick t has got some issues. He says NFL's safety

1596
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:02,560
Speaker 1: rules need adjusting to enders are letting quarterbacks run for

1597
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: extra yards because they looked like they might slide and

1598
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 1: go out of bounds like Mahomes did on that third

1599
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 1: down play, and micah Hides hit can't be a penalty.

1600
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:13,560
Speaker 1: If he didn't do that, the wide receiver would have

1601
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: gone untouched for a TV. And don't even get me

1602
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: started on roughing the passer calls when the defender is

1603
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: just trying to swap the ball and his hand comes

1604
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:25,640
Speaker 1: down and inadvertently hits the quarterback's head. Now, while I

1605
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:29,799
Speaker 1: will agree that micah Hides hit at least in my estimation,

1606
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: should not have been a penalty because I thought he

1607
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: was turning away from the hit as he was closing

1608
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 1: to avoid making helmet to helmet contact and tackled with

1609
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 1: his shoulder, he was still flagged for hitting a defenseless player.

1610
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, with the momentum he was running at, he

1611
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: didn't even have time to extend his arms to make

1612
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: contact with his hands before his head, so he just

1613
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 1: turned real quick and put his shoulder into the sternum

1614
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 1: of Brashad Perryman and now was there helmet contact. Maybe, Um,

1615
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: it was not the first contact that was made, and

1616
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 1: I understand why those rules are in place, But when

1617
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 1: you've got a defensive back that has the awareness at

1618
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 1: top speed to try to avoid that, I almost don't

1619
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: want you to flag the guy because he's trying to

1620
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 1: avoid the hit. Yeah. If if Perriman's on your team,

1621
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:25,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a illegal hit. Yeah. If Hide is

1622
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 1: on your team, it's a it's a clean hit. And

1623
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 1: I it's a clean hit. I mean you can say

1624
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: what you want. That's a and Hide ends up in

1625
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: a concussion protocol too. I can say this. I can

1626
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: say this as well. Um, you can make the argument

1627
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 1: that it's a defenseless player. But even Perriman looks like

1628
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: he's putting the brakes on on his last step as well.

1629
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: But that happened so fast and there isn't a safety

1630
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: in the league's not going to make that play. Same

1631
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 1: way if the you know, worse or better however you

1632
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: want to say it. H If Hide goes in low,

1633
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 1: Perraman's out for the year. Yeah, because his knee gets

1634
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: twisted in the turf and he's done. If he goes higher,

1635
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 1: well then you get suspended, fined, and all of that

1636
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: I get find anyway. Yeah, so all of that stuff

1637
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: notwithstanding it, it's about as clean a hit as you

1638
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:22,560
Speaker 1: can make and still hit the guy that's in that

1639
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: cave with the timing. Certainly he could have let up,

1640
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: I guess, but there's no guarantee that the play is

1641
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 1: going to be made if he does that. From a

1642
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: wandering Jack in the OBLFA on mailbag, how can we

1643
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: scheme up to get the running game going with what

1644
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 1: appears to be a blustery gully washer in the forecast

1645
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 1: for Sunday, passing maybe hard to accomplish. The Bills will

1646
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 1: have to run the ball and stop the run, two

1647
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,600
Speaker 1: things they've struggled with in twenty twenty, and you know

1648
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: the Hood will be ready to stifle the run game.

1649
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 1: Legitimate concerns, Jack, legitimate concerns. I think the run game

1650
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: really is just about this offensive line winning at the

1651
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and in hearing from some of them

1652
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: this week, there is a concern with the twist and

1653
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 1: stunt games that they do against the pass. With respect

1654
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: to the run defense, though, I just think they have

1655
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: to sustain their run block combinations better execute them. More consistently.

1656
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 1: I think this run game can go, but it's an

1657
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: execution issue as I see it upfront more than anything else,

1658
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:29,320
Speaker 1: not so much a scheme issue. Yeah, I still think

1659
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: they're struggling to get find their cohesion in the front,

1660
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 1: in the offensive line. Cody Ford's going to be out

1661
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: this week, which means John Feliciano may be in and

1662
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 1: if he's not, he's going to maybe get some spot

1663
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: duty to get himself acclimated for full time duty. If

1664
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 1: that's indeed where this is headed, which means Brian Winter's

1665
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 1: going to be in there and maybe but Butker's going

1666
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: to be in there. So you've got a lot going

1667
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: on and a lot of moving parts. Cody Ford went

1668
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: from right guard to left guard. Quentin Spain is non

1669
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,759
Speaker 1: longer with the team. They're still looking for a combination

1670
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 1: that will work, and now they got to try John

1671
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 1: Feliciano in there at some point as well. You still

1672
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: haven't had John Feliciano and Cody Ford and aren't going

1673
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 1: to have him this week. John Feliciano and Cody Ford

1674
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 1: on the field at the same time. I still think

1675
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: it's you've got a lot of things working against you

1676
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:19,240
Speaker 1: in the run game up front, and until you get

1677
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 1: those fixed, it's not gonna No amount of scheming is

1678
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 1: going to make that work, right, And I think we

1679
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,799
Speaker 1: there's a healthy amount of respect for what Bill Belichick

1680
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 1: can draw up in a given week, especially if the

1681
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:34,600
Speaker 1: weather conditions demand a certain kind of play calling. So

1682
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 1: we'll be interested to see how that goes. We also

1683
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 1: know that John Brown is a guy that is likely

1684
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,720
Speaker 1: to return to the lineup based on the level that

1685
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 1: he's been practicing at the past two days. Full you know,

1686
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: full go. So you'd like to think that's going to

1687
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,280
Speaker 1: help because I can tell you right now, when John

1688
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: Brown is in the lineup, this offense averages twenty eight

1689
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 1: points a game. When he isn't, they average seventeen. That's

1690
01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 1: an eleven point difference. So he makes the offense, He

1691
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:05,400
Speaker 1: makes the passing attack more dynamic. He forces defenses to

1692
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:09,559
Speaker 1: not put too much attention on Stefan Diggs because he's

1693
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 1: a guy that can burn you just as easily, and

1694
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 1: so I think it diversifies what they can do in

1695
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 1: the passing game, even if it has to be the

1696
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:21,599
Speaker 1: underneath stuff, right he it's more about what he does

1697
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 1: to the defense, even if he's not catching the ball. Yeah,

1698
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,680
Speaker 1: and his ability to get open and to stretch the

1699
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,000
Speaker 1: field opens things up for everybody else. I mean, it's

1700
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 1: we've heard this, you know this kind of stuff. It's football,

1701
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 1: one on one. You're better with better players. And John

1702
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 1: Brown is a really good player, yea. And him with

1703
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs on the field and Cole Beasley, man, that's

1704
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:45,759
Speaker 1: that's it starts to get really deep at quality receivers,

1705
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:49,559
Speaker 1: especially when your fourth guy is Gabriel Davis. Yeah, it's

1706
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: a problem for these defenses. And that's why I think

1707
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 1: that I think the Patriots are going to keep the

1708
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 1: lid on this thing, go with double too deep safety

1709
01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: all day long. They're gonna zone it off and force

1710
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 1: Josh to read the defense and pick him off. And

1711
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 1: I think what will happen too, is the Patriots will

1712
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 1: probably try to rip play defenses where they'll show Josh

1713
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 1: something at the snap and even during the play, and

1714
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: then I'll have guys slough off into anticipated throwing lane

1715
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:18,640
Speaker 1: to try and pick him off. This game has got

1716
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 1: a lot of layers to it because this is the

1717
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 1: game last year when Josh Adam threw the three picks

1718
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 1: where he went to Brandon Bean and John mcderham said, listen,

1719
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm not gonna do this anymore. He had

1720
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 1: thrown more more interceptions than touchdowns at that point last year.

1721
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 1: And then finally when he when he said that to them,

1722
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:38,400
Speaker 1: he's he's gone on a four years to flip the script. Yeah,

1723
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 1: he's four to one touchdowns to interceptions ever since. And

1724
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,800
Speaker 1: he's just a different guy. That's that's where, and that's

1725
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 1: all started with this game last year. I think he's

1726
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna remember it. Yeah. From Steve on the obl fan

1727
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 1: mail bag, hearing that both Harry and Edelman will most

1728
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,800
Speaker 1: likely be out Sunday for the Patriots and the weather forecast,

1729
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 1: I have a renewed confidence that victory will happen. The

1730
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:04,639
Speaker 1: Bills can play more base four three and stuff the run.

1731
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: We've been able to stop the run when it's our focus.

1732
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 1: Do you agree? So Steve's going on the premise that

1733
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:15,640
Speaker 1: the weather will make the Patriots more one dimensional than

1734
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 1: maybe even the Bills defense before they line up, So

1735
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 1: then say, hey, just stop the run and you're good

1736
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 1: to go. I'm I'm inclined to agree, but again, I

1737
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 1: think the Bills have to have a lockdown type day

1738
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 1: against the run for us to feel good about it,

1739
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 1: you know, and then winning the game. You know, I

1740
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:36,800
Speaker 1: think it's going to fall down to how well the

1741
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 1: guys play, who are actually on the field for the Bills,

1742
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:41,559
Speaker 1: how health are they going to be? Is Vernard Butler

1743
01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 1: going to be back on the field. We know that

1744
01:32:44,160 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 1: Quentin Jefferson got on the field today, he's practicing. Josh

1745
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:51,879
Speaker 1: Norman's not gonna play, So you've you know, Levi Johnson's

1746
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,680
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace, I'm sorry, is somewhere to be found. We'll

1747
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 1: see if he can get back on the field. But

1748
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:02,640
Speaker 1: then you've got, you know, your defensive backfield and the

1749
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 1: quality of play for your defensive line are going to

1750
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 1: dictate what the Patriots are going to be able to

1751
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 1: do as much as the weather. And I think the

1752
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,719
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to ask their players, despite whatever conditions

1753
01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 1: there are, to do what's going to hurt the Bills

1754
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 1: the most. And if the Bills can't feel a defensive

1755
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:20,640
Speaker 1: backfield that has their best players on it, they're going

1756
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 1: to test it whether they've got it. They're going to

1757
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:27,480
Speaker 1: test it with Charlie Bag of Donuts and everybody Bird

1758
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 1: and Jacoby Myers and Isaiah Zuber. They're gonna do it.

1759
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,680
Speaker 1: They'll expect to give those They'll have those guys. I'm

1760
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: in you now. They may not be able to get

1761
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,639
Speaker 1: it done, but they will attempt it, that's for sure.

1762
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: Last one in the OBL fan mail bag from Adam.

1763
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 1: With the trade deadline fast approaching, did the Bills make

1764
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 1: a move, perhaps for someone like Dalvin Tomlinson or Quinnon Williams.

1765
01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. As dumb as the Jets

1766
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 1: have been with their personnel decisions over the last few years,

1767
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they're dumb enough to trade Quinnon Williams

1768
01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 1: within their own vision. I just can't see them doing that.

1769
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 1: Quinnon Williams is on an affordable contract. He's got two

1770
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: more years left on his rookie deal after this season.

1771
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 1: Dalvin Tomlinson's also relatively inexpensive. I think he's eight hundred

1772
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: and change. He might be this year later, a year

1773
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:20,600
Speaker 1: deeper into his continent is so you know, if you

1774
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 1: want help, they're upfront. I understand it. We have to remember, too,

1775
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 1: that the Bill's cap space is limited right now. It's

1776
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:29,920
Speaker 1: at about three point six, so it's not like they

1777
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: can go out and trade for anybody and absorb something. Now, obviously,

1778
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:36,960
Speaker 1: if they release a veteran player to try to save

1779
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 1: cap dollars, they could do that, but I'm I'm not

1780
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 1: convinced they're going to do it. Perhaps a lot could

1781
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: hinge on the outcome of this game in terms of

1782
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 1: what they do between Sunday and Tuesday's deadline, where they say, hey,

1783
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,719
Speaker 1: let's make a move. Let's just ensure ourselves and bolster

1784
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 1: this here so we don't have to wonder about it

1785
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. I suppose that's a possibility,

1786
01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 1: but I think with the cap, the limited cap space,

1787
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 1: and then what they're going to have to part with

1788
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: asset wise, I don't know that I'm anticipating some kind

1789
01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:10,560
Speaker 1: of major move at all. Dalvin Tomlinson's a bigger possibility

1790
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 1: because he plays for the Giants, not the Jets, and

1791
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: he's out of the division, out of the conference, and

1792
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 1: the Giants would probably wouldn't bother that wouldn't bother them

1793
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 1: as much to do that with a team like the Bills. Plus,

1794
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:22,639
Speaker 1: they could stick it to the Jets the crosstown rivals

1795
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 1: by doing that in the division. But but I'll tell

1796
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,679
Speaker 1: you this, if the Bills have a shot at Quinnon.

1797
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Williams get him. The guy can play, really play. He

1798
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 1: is now their best defensive player in my opinion. He

1799
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: can go, and he's right at the right spot for

1800
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 1: the Bills need at this certain point of history. He

1801
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 1: got two years on his rookie deal, and after this

1802
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,160
Speaker 1: year and after next year, then the next you know,

1803
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:51,560
Speaker 1: the next year would be the year you have to

1804
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:53,599
Speaker 1: really get him done, and that by then the Caps

1805
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,160
Speaker 1: should be straightened out and headed out on an upward trajectory.

1806
01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:57,720
Speaker 1: He might be able to sign the guy long term.

1807
01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 1: He's a great player, which is why A he's probably

1808
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:03,640
Speaker 1: not going to be available, or B he's going to

1809
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 1: be too much, too costly. That's why he was the

1810
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 1: third pick in the draft. The guy can go. He's

1811
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 1: a good player. All right, We have to take a break,

1812
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: but when we return, it's time for the lowdown. Lorenzo

1813
01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:17,600
Speaker 1: Alexander makes his weekly visit with us. He'll talk to

1814
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 1: us about this upcoming game and maybe a couple other

1815
01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 1: things going on around the league. Lorenzo Alexander next here

1816
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,880
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo

1817
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. It is time our number three of the

1818
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 1: program on a Friday, and that can only mean one thing.

1819
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: It is time for the lowdown with one Lorenzo Alexander,

1820
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 1: who's on the line with us Zoe, how are you

1821
01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 1: doing this week? And it was going all fell as,

1822
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:04,240
Speaker 1: good to see you, Yeah, see you man, So why

1823
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 1: don't you We're kind of we've been kind of talking

1824
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 1: about this all week and I'm sure it's crossed your

1825
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: mind at least once in thinking about Bill's Patriots, this

1826
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:18,920
Speaker 1: one doesn't quite have the luster of matchups of years past.

1827
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 1: No Brady, no Gronk, Edelman's out Gilmore is a question mark.

1828
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:27,679
Speaker 1: You don't even recognize half the guys on the Patriots roster.

1829
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,439
Speaker 1: How does that? I know it's not supposed to impact

1830
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:35,040
Speaker 1: the other team, but how do you imagine your former

1831
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:37,559
Speaker 1: Bill's teammates are going into this and trying to stay

1832
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: focused on the task at hand when all of those

1833
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 1: big names aren't on the other side of the line

1834
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Well, they're definitely focused and locked in. I

1835
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 1: think they obviously have had their own issues throughout the

1836
01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 1: year and was able to get right the ship. Last

1837
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 1: we can get back into winn Colin with the Jets,

1838
01:37:55,560 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 1: and anytime you face a Bill Belichick Patriots team, regardless

1839
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:02,759
Speaker 1: whoever's out there, you know they're gonna be well coached,

1840
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:06,640
Speaker 1: competing and playing hard. And so, yes, it doesn't have

1841
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:11,439
Speaker 1: that same field, but I do believe that it is

1842
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:15,600
Speaker 1: a necessary when for this organization just to conquer the

1843
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:19,720
Speaker 1: organizational presence of the Patriots and just what they've done

1844
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:21,920
Speaker 1: over the last twenty years. Regardless of who what the

1845
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 1: guys are out there, you need to go out there

1846
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 1: and be able to beat whoever they place on the field,

1847
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:30,040
Speaker 1: and truly believe doing it in a dominant fashion because

1848
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:32,639
Speaker 1: based on talent and where these teams are at right now,

1849
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: the Bills are the better ball club. How do you

1850
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 1: handle that in the locker room when all you hear

1851
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 1: from outside is how down this team that they got

1852
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 1: to opt out so they got injuries to keep players,

1853
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:47,280
Speaker 1: their stars have gone on to other things. It's a

1854
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:51,760
Speaker 1: completely different team almost. And I said this too, there's

1855
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:53,760
Speaker 1: a whole generation of Bills fans never been through this.

1856
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:56,160
Speaker 1: They don't know what it's like to be You're supposed

1857
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:58,680
Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots today, right, So how do you

1858
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 1: handle that in the locker room with all that stuff

1859
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 1: telling you how easy it's going to be on Sunday.

1860
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 1: I think you're reminded every single week that this league

1861
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 1: is not easy. I think that's an outside perception. I

1862
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 1: mean you could even go back to the game last

1863
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:14,679
Speaker 1: week being down ten nothing, two and oh and six

1864
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 1: Jets team and so, and it shouldn't be like that.

1865
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: So every week you have to get up for whoever

1866
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 1: you're playing. You have to watch film, you have to

1867
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 1: have great reads of practice, and then go out there

1868
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 1: and execute and play four quarters. Because it is really

1869
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 1: any getting Sunday, because it's the same Patriots team that

1870
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 1: took the Seattle Seahawks, you know, to the brink right

1871
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:40,840
Speaker 1: that then comes back in and then looks as bad

1872
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 1: as they did last week when the forty nine ers

1873
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:45,880
Speaker 1: came in the Foxboro and just ran through them. And

1874
01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:48,960
Speaker 1: so they have the ability to do it. Obviously, Cama's

1875
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 1: not playing right now, you can say it's you know,

1876
01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 1: from COVID and missing some rhythm. Adaman is going to

1877
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 1: be out, and so they have some things they have

1878
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:59,720
Speaker 1: to overcome. But I am just you know, I've been

1879
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:01,840
Speaker 1: in the in the league too long to ever feel

1880
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 1: like you can look past anybody, because those are the

1881
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:05,560
Speaker 1: teams that are back in the corner that find a

1882
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: way to galvanize, especially when you think about who their

1883
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:11,240
Speaker 1: head coach is and the standard and the culture that

1884
01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 1: is so important in Buffalo. We talked about that same

1885
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:15,519
Speaker 1: coach is very important up in the Patriots and the

1886
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,840
Speaker 1: Patriots way it still applies. So they're gonna come out

1887
01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: and try to establish themselves after being embarrassed last week.

1888
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:27,280
Speaker 1: So with the weather forecast up here being forty nine

1889
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 1: in rain and wins up to about thirty five miles

1890
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:33,120
Speaker 1: per hour for game time on Sunday, it's kind of

1891
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 1: given everybody the sense that both of these teams could

1892
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:38,960
Speaker 1: be leaning on the run games all the more. The

1893
01:40:39,040 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 1: Patriots have been pretty successful this year. I mean, they're

1894
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 1: fourth in the league and rushing, even though the run

1895
01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 1: game was tough sledding for them against San Francisco last week.

1896
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 1: How confident do you feel these days about Buffalo's run

1897
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 1: defense after the showing they put up last week against

1898
01:40:56,840 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 1: the Jets. Well, you know, so what have you done

1899
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,920
Speaker 1: for me lately? League? And you know what the inner saling.

1900
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:05,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of it's kind of unique for being on

1901
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 1: the outside now that you can almost feel the emotional

1902
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:15,240
Speaker 1: roller coaster that fans and just media goes on with

1903
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 1: all these teams from week to week and up and down,

1904
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:19,479
Speaker 1: and when you're in the locker room, you don't really

1905
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,559
Speaker 1: even feel that. But I guess what I'm saying, based

1906
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 1: on what they did last week, especially in that second half,

1907
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,519
Speaker 1: I'm confident. And I mean I've been confident these guys

1908
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:30,759
Speaker 1: all year because it's never really been a talent issue.

1909
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 1: It's been about execution and being where you need to be,

1910
01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:37,240
Speaker 1: and I think they're starting to understand that and utilizing

1911
01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:39,559
Speaker 1: that momentum what they did right in the second half

1912
01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:41,559
Speaker 1: of that last week versus the Jets to be able

1913
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:43,840
Speaker 1: to carry it into this week, and then also watching

1914
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 1: what the forty nine ers did last week as well,

1915
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:48,840
Speaker 1: and it really comes down to being physical. I think

1916
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:50,479
Speaker 1: that's something that the forty has really been able to

1917
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:52,599
Speaker 1: do the last couple of weeks, especially against the Patriots,

1918
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: and so if the Bills can get back to that

1919
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:57,600
Speaker 1: physical mindset, especially with that front seven, I have no

1920
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:00,800
Speaker 1: there's there's no hesitation in mind that they'll be able

1921
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,320
Speaker 1: to dominate in the run game. And you can even

1922
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 1: add you know that Cam Newton was a part of

1923
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:08,000
Speaker 1: those running yards, especially Earner early on. As far as

1924
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:10,960
Speaker 1: create matchups and having an extra blocker, and so if

1925
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:13,000
Speaker 1: they can knock that out really early and put that

1926
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:15,080
Speaker 1: ball in Cam Newton hands, I think that'll really be

1927
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:17,960
Speaker 1: advantageous for them as far as winning this game. Do

1928
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:22,360
Speaker 1: you think the Patriots or the Miami Dolphins or the

1929
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 1: biggest threat to the Bills in the division? The Dolphins

1930
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 1: now switching quarterbacks with a rookie quarterback, who knows how

1931
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: that's gonna go. But certainly I don't think Brian Flores

1932
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:32,519
Speaker 1: makes that movie if he doesn't think it's gonna go. Well,

1933
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: who's the bigger threat, right? I mean, I think at

1934
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 1: this point, and you look at the talent and which

1935
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 1: way teams are trajected, I mean, I definitely think it's

1936
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, just because the Patriots just have so

1937
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 1: many holes, how many guys opted out. Julian Edelman is

1938
01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 1: now not going to be there. They don't really have

1939
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:52,080
Speaker 1: any consistency at quarterback, you know, Stidham or Cam have

1940
01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:54,519
Speaker 1: really not played for the last couple of weeks. And

1941
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 1: then I look over on the other hand, I look

1942
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 1: at the Miami Dolphins or Brian Flores led a team.

1943
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:02,200
Speaker 1: I obviously come Bill Belichick, and he's already in that

1944
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 1: rebuild process and it has started to develop his culture

1945
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: and in the identity of his football team and added

1946
01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of talent in the off season, and guys

1947
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: are playing hard for him. Obviously, they played really well

1948
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:17,200
Speaker 1: versus the Bills earlier on in the year with Fishpatrick

1949
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: at the helm, and so just looking at their talent

1950
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:21,479
Speaker 1: and how they've been playing, I definitely think it is

1951
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, and I know Brian and that whole

1952
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,760
Speaker 1: Miami's organization as well as the fan is hoping that

1953
01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:30,760
Speaker 1: Tour can emulate what we see Burrow and Herbert doing

1954
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 1: as rookies in this league. And if he can come

1955
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:35,600
Speaker 1: out and do that, um, you know, you know, you

1956
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 1: better watch out. You can't take things for granted, which

1957
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: I know the Bills organization, the minutum in that locker

1958
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 1: room won't do. But um, I know they're probably banking

1959
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: on Manton and knowing too of being accurate. The biggest

1960
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:47,840
Speaker 1: thing is Kenny hold up and how how can he

1961
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:50,000
Speaker 1: play after being injured and suffering some of those things

1962
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:53,559
Speaker 1: he has in the past. Zoe it looks like John

1963
01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 1: Feliciano is going to return to the lineup this week.

1964
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:59,360
Speaker 1: He activated off injured reserve. But this is a guy

1965
01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:01,639
Speaker 1: who has put pads on and played in a live

1966
01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 1: game and almost eleven months now, just coming off what

1967
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 1: amounted to a twelve week rehabs. As much as he

1968
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 1: tries to strengthen and condition his body for regular season football.

1969
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 1: If they deem that he is ready to get out

1970
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 1: on the field this week, do you see him playing

1971
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 1: a whole game or would you anticipate a pitchcount type situation. Yeah,

1972
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: it's probably more of a pitchtown. I know. Sean really

1973
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:34,519
Speaker 1: puts a lot of emphasis on the sports science, and

1974
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:37,479
Speaker 1: just because a guy is ready from a physical standpoint,

1975
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 1: the doctor clearing him doesn't mean that he's ready to

1976
01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: go out there and compete at the level that he's

1977
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 1: expecting himselves to compete in The team needs him to

1978
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:47,479
Speaker 1: do for four quarters, and I think much like what

1979
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:50,400
Speaker 1: they did when putin Spain was on the roster and

1980
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 1: they had a little bit of a rotation going on,

1981
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 1: I could see them implementing that early, working him back in,

1982
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:59,679
Speaker 1: allowing him to build up game strength and game endurance

1983
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:02,639
Speaker 1: and then as he feels more comfortable and more confident

1984
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 1: and is working at his level, then you know they'll

1985
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:08,720
Speaker 1: make a decision or whether or not they want to

1986
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 1: continue to start him or rotate or whatever they want

1987
01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 1: to do as far as the offer the line standpoint

1988
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 1: that gives the team the best opportunity to win games. Yeah,

1989
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 1: another guy that got injured and is coming back and

1990
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 1: has played a little bit last week is Matt Milano.

1991
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:21,640
Speaker 1: People have been begging him to get back on the

1992
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:24,559
Speaker 1: field because he is so effective. And also the Bills

1993
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:26,559
Speaker 1: found out a little bit about their depth and they

1994
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 1: answered that by going out and looking at the guy

1995
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 1: like Darren Lee, who's how to Ohio State a second

1996
01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:33,640
Speaker 1: former second round draft pick. So if they bring a

1997
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:36,519
Speaker 1: guy like Darren Lee in and Matt Milano doesn't continue

1998
01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 1: to get better, if he gets side tracked, how fast?

1999
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: And we know it takes a while for a quarterback

2000
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:42,320
Speaker 1: to get acclamated because of the verbiage and all that,

2001
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:46,000
Speaker 1: but at the linebacker position, your position, how fast can

2002
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 1: a guy come off the street, learn the words, learn

2003
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:56,599
Speaker 1: the responsibilities and be ready to contribute in a meaningful way. Um,

2004
01:45:56,720 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, it all depends on the player you know

2005
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: football IQ you know you know, has he played the

2006
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 1: system similar or you know been in the system before,

2007
01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 1: and that all helps his progression. You know, one thing

2008
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:13,800
Speaker 1: with linebacker outside of of quarterback, you really only have

2009
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 1: to really worry about yourself, especially if you're not the

2010
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:18,599
Speaker 1: mic linebacker. So if you can just worry about yourself

2011
01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:21,519
Speaker 1: and know the calls, a few calls, maybe have a

2012
01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 1: small package. There's a guy that's going on they hope

2013
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,799
Speaker 1: to contribute, then he can only learn a small sample

2014
01:46:26,840 --> 01:46:28,919
Speaker 1: size versus a quarterback that needs to know the plethora

2015
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,120
Speaker 1: of plays that offensive coordinator can throw at him. So

2016
01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: it's much different than in in that way where you're

2017
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 1: just accountable for yourself and you're playing that if you

2018
01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 1: pass rushing, I mean just lineup and go. Just depending

2019
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 1: on how how they use a guy like that. And

2020
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:42,720
Speaker 1: then as far as Matt Malone, I think we can

2021
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 1: get a better sense of John Feliciano. As we saw

2022
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 1: last week, Matt didn't play every single snap. Looked like

2023
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:50,599
Speaker 1: they had some type of rotation going on with him

2024
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:53,360
Speaker 1: and AJ based on bass or nickel or something of

2025
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:57,680
Speaker 1: that sort. So you'll see something very similar being implemented.

2026
01:46:57,720 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 1: I believe with job Feliciano in his progression back to

2027
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:03,040
Speaker 1: being a full time starter. And then you know, we've

2028
01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:06,560
Speaker 1: already heard about the trade deadline coming up on Tuesday,

2029
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:09,559
Speaker 1: and there's been talking about players that the Bills might

2030
01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:11,920
Speaker 1: be interested in. There's also been some names that have

2031
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 1: surfaced on the Bills roster that could be bandied about. Um,

2032
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 1: how is a player? Do you kind of stay away

2033
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 1: from that stuff and not let it creep into your

2034
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:24,040
Speaker 1: head so you can just focus on getting ready for

2035
01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:27,639
Speaker 1: the next game. UM, I mean, you can't worry about

2036
01:47:27,640 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 1: stuff you can't control. I should tell guys that all

2037
01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 1: the time. It really didn't matter what it was. Just

2038
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:33,840
Speaker 1: focus on the things you control, come to work, be

2039
01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:37,360
Speaker 1: a pro, and and things that you know turn out

2040
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:39,680
Speaker 1: however they do. I think the only time there's ever

2041
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:44,720
Speaker 1: a really issue internally with players is when an organization says, yeah,

2042
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 1: we're not we're not taking any trades or we're not

2043
01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 1: throwing your name out there, and then your names are

2044
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:51,479
Speaker 1: surfacing and then you're like, well, what's going on? What's

2045
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:54,400
Speaker 1: the truth. And so that's that's always the crux of anything,

2046
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 1: just clear communication. But other than that, guys tend not

2047
01:47:58,040 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 1: to worry about that because they can't rolling if not

2048
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:02,599
Speaker 1: up to them. Only thing they could do is show up, workout,

2049
01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:06,240
Speaker 1: play hard, be productive and try to help the team

2050
01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:08,600
Speaker 1: win every single game. And then if they're doing that,

2051
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:13,000
Speaker 1: most people don't like to give away talent for those reasons.

2052
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,639
Speaker 1: It may be a contract issue, but again, you sign

2053
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:17,880
Speaker 1: a contract, you can't you can't do anything about that.

2054
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:20,800
Speaker 1: All right, Lorenzo, it's time for your loaddown. You've got

2055
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 1: a couple of things the Bill's got to do to

2056
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: win this game? Or what are important things about this

2057
01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:27,720
Speaker 1: game for fans to look for? Yeah, I mean, I

2058
01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 1: think with the offense, you know, obviously getting off to

2059
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 1: a fast start moving the ball down the field, which

2060
01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:33,720
Speaker 1: they were able to do last week, but now I'm

2061
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:36,200
Speaker 1: converting once they get into that red zone and not

2062
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:38,800
Speaker 1: depending on kicking field goals to be able to beat

2063
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 1: this new the Patriots team, which you may be able

2064
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 1: to do this week, but I'm thinking about long term

2065
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:47,639
Speaker 1: success and really converting touchdowns when you're in the red zone.

2066
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 1: So let's I would love to see that getting back

2067
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 1: into the end zone this week and starting to build

2068
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 1: as you are able to come out and beat this team.

2069
01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:57,160
Speaker 1: But then also as you start playing more explosive offenses

2070
01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 1: in the near future, Number two, just be really physical.

2071
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:04,000
Speaker 1: That was one of the things. And you know, Kyle

2072
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: Wins also tell me this even before I even got

2073
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:07,960
Speaker 1: to the Bills that when you when you lost to

2074
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:10,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots, it was never like that. You just felt

2075
01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:13,280
Speaker 1: like they just beat you up or dominated you. But

2076
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:14,920
Speaker 1: if you were ever able to do that, when you

2077
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 1: think about when Tom Brady lost, when you think about

2078
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine is and what they were

2079
01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 1: able to do to him last week was be physically dominant,

2080
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 1: especially in the trenches. And I'm calling them the D

2081
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:28,760
Speaker 1: line and those linebackers to play downhill, pounded, punish as

2082
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: as coach Bob Babbage would say, and really be dominant

2083
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 1: in that run game because that's going to allow you

2084
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:36,920
Speaker 1: then to put cam or still move whoever it is,

2085
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 1: and third and advantages down, so really you can get

2086
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:41,680
Speaker 1: after him, get some turnovers, get some interceptions, as we

2087
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:44,920
Speaker 1: saw last week the Bills did right before half and

2088
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 1: gave him a stop that drive and gave him a

2089
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:50,000
Speaker 1: chance to put some points on the board. And then lastly,

2090
01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:52,640
Speaker 1: I think anytime you're playing a Bill Belichick team, and

2091
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:56,240
Speaker 1: it seems like they've all almost become victims of their own.

2092
01:49:56,840 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 1: Standard is don't beat yourself, allow the other team to

2093
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:02,240
Speaker 1: make mistakes, and take advantage. And so that just comes

2094
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:05,719
Speaker 1: down to being disciplined and execute the car that's called

2095
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: and doing that for four quarters and allow them to

2096
01:50:09,439 --> 01:50:11,080
Speaker 1: make the mistakes and once they do it, you take

2097
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 1: advantage of it. And those are my three keys. And

2098
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:14,680
Speaker 1: I think I got to really give this team an

2099
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:16,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to win this game this week. Yeah, I like

2100
01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,200
Speaker 1: the last one the best because on paper, this Bill's

2101
01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:22,600
Speaker 1: team is clearly more talented and looks more favorable in

2102
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:25,439
Speaker 1: the matchup category than what the Patriots are going to

2103
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:27,600
Speaker 1: be able to put on the field. So just do

2104
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 1: what you do, don't screw it up, and you should

2105
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 1: come out of this team with a win. I mean,

2106
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy to say it knowing it's the Patriots,

2107
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 1: but I don't think these are the same Patriots, right.

2108
01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:40,680
Speaker 1: That's why it's every year it's a new team. And

2109
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 1: if you ever want to be great in this league,

2110
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 1: you have to be able to beat the teams you're

2111
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:46,679
Speaker 1: supposed to beat. And this is a Bill a Patriots team.

2112
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:49,200
Speaker 1: The Bills are supposed to beat, at least on paper,

2113
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:51,920
Speaker 1: right and based on what they put on film leading

2114
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 1: up to this moment, this is a team they should beat,

2115
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:55,720
Speaker 1: and so they have to go out there show that

2116
01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: and then move on to the next How huge would

2117
01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 1: it be if the Bills went to four and in

2118
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:04,120
Speaker 1: the AFC East. I mean, that's significant. It's all about,

2119
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, division wins than conference wins because down when

2120
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:10,679
Speaker 1: it comes down to you know, playoffs, and and based

2121
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:13,600
Speaker 1: on who they've lost too already, you know, trying to

2122
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 1: get a preferable seeding, you know, so when that's the

2123
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 1: number one seed or maybe the two or three seed,

2124
01:51:20,479 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 1: depending on what the other division winners do. So it's

2125
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 1: definitely a significant thing because I believe division games or

2126
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 1: maybe first in the tiebreaker, then it goes to conference. Yeah.

2127
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Zoe, we were talking about this this week.

2128
01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 1: We just felt that this game this week, moving you

2129
01:51:34,840 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 1: to four and o in the division six and two

2130
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 1: at the midway point, puts the Bills on their best

2131
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:44,080
Speaker 1: path for a home playoff game, which is winning the division.

2132
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:48,360
Speaker 1: Because after this week, the schedule gets considerably more difficult.

2133
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:52,640
Speaker 1: You've got Seattle and Arizona than a buy. And then

2134
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:55,320
Speaker 1: you come back and you have San fran and Pittsburgh

2135
01:51:55,439 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 1: and the Chargers. The Charges are a tougher game than

2136
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,439
Speaker 1: anybody anticipated at the start of the year with the

2137
01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 1: way Herbert's throwing the ball around. So Buffalo's next five games,

2138
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:07,840
Speaker 1: that's a gauntlet. So you gotta have this game this

2139
01:52:08,040 --> 01:52:11,680
Speaker 1: week being firm standing in the division, because even if

2140
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:14,559
Speaker 1: you go two and three over those next five, you're

2141
01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:16,760
Speaker 1: still coming out of it at eight and five with

2142
01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 1: the Broncos, Patriots, and Dolphins left, and I think you're

2143
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,400
Speaker 1: still in a healthy position to take your division and

2144
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:24,560
Speaker 1: still get the home playoff game you're looking for. I

2145
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:27,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you see it differently, Yeah, no, I

2146
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:29,559
Speaker 1: see it the same way. I don't think they think

2147
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:31,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna go through that and going two and three.

2148
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean, these are some good teams. Obviously, the NFC

2149
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 1: West is one of the best divisions, if not the

2150
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:39,280
Speaker 1: best division in football right now based on their records.

2151
01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: But they're getting a lot of I mean, the Seattle

2152
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 1: Seahawks can't play defense. They give up a lot of points.

2153
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll put Arizona Cardinals in that same help

2154
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,000
Speaker 1: of Seattle as far as how they play the game.

2155
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:49,519
Speaker 1: They give up a lot of points, but they both

2156
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:52,720
Speaker 1: have dynamic quarterbacks that if you can have a good

2157
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:55,120
Speaker 1: day rushing the quarterback and then Josh is able to

2158
01:52:55,160 --> 01:52:57,360
Speaker 1: do what he does off physically and keep those guys

2159
01:52:57,400 --> 01:52:59,800
Speaker 1: off the field, you have a really good chance to

2160
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 1: eat those type of teams. So those are going to

2161
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 1: be some great games. But obviously it's going to start

2162
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 1: with the Patriots this week and be able to beat

2163
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:07,479
Speaker 1: those guys and then move on to them. But that's

2164
01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 1: why I said, it's so important that Josh in his offense,

2165
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:13,920
Speaker 1: gets moving early, executing down the field, put points on

2166
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: the board. You know, I preferably touchdowns, but field goals

2167
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:19,599
Speaker 1: are okay, and I you know, I think that's another

2168
01:53:19,640 --> 01:53:21,840
Speaker 1: area that we need to make sure that we're better.

2169
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:24,400
Speaker 1: And I know Bass made six last week but also

2170
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:26,920
Speaker 1: miss two. I believe and so want affirm them up

2171
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:29,200
Speaker 1: because that you start playing these teams that put a

2172
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:31,880
Speaker 1: lot of points on the board, every opportunity you have

2173
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 1: to put points on it. You have to be able

2174
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:36,200
Speaker 1: to convert. And I know there's a lot of pressure

2175
01:53:36,200 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 1: for a young guy, but I know why Sean and

2176
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:41,479
Speaker 1: he chose him is because he has the ability to

2177
01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:44,479
Speaker 1: make those kicks of his strong leg, and then what

2178
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:46,799
Speaker 1: he showed in training camp and obviously through this season,

2179
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:49,919
Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to his progression and he continued

2180
01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 1: to put this team in an opportunity to win games

2181
01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 1: with his leg. All right, Lorenzo, thanks man, it's great

2182
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:59,639
Speaker 1: talking to you again. All yeah, anytime, See you later, guys.

2183
01:53:59,640 --> 01:54:02,680
Speaker 1: All right, good weekend. That's Lorenzo Alexander given us the

2184
01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:06,560
Speaker 1: lowdown on this game between the Bills and the Patriots,

2185
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:08,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of last week. Is what I said

2186
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:10,960
Speaker 1: in my keys of that game last week. You can

2187
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:12,400
Speaker 1: say I said they gotta get af to a fast

2188
01:54:12,439 --> 01:54:14,320
Speaker 1: start as well. I think I liked his last point

2189
01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:16,160
Speaker 1: the best though. I mean, this is one of those

2190
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 1: rare instances against this Patriots team where you are clearly

2191
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: the better team. You have more talent, you have more

2192
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 1: advantageous matchups. You're healthier. Yeah, yeah, you're healthier, agreed, not

2193
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:35,920
Speaker 1: by much, but you're healthier, and you just need to

2194
01:54:36,040 --> 01:54:41,960
Speaker 1: do what you do consistently, don't screw it up, don't

2195
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:45,080
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, and you will win the game. Yeah,

2196
01:54:45,160 --> 01:54:47,680
Speaker 1: no penalties, no turnovers, and it's gonna be hard. You're

2197
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a hard team to be. I'm not saying

2198
01:54:49,240 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 1: error free, but minimal, just minimal snapoos. Just don't get

2199
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:56,840
Speaker 1: any pre snap penalties or post snap penalties either. I mean,

2200
01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, like after the play between play penalties, personal

2201
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 1: files kind of stuff. Don't get into the off sides

2202
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:04,920
Speaker 1: or encroachment penalties, and don't turn the stinking ball over

2203
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:11,400
Speaker 1: that That turns the Bills into a vastly more difficult

2204
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:14,640
Speaker 1: team to beat with the talent they've got going. Yeah,

2205
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't want them handing the Patriots anything. I don't

2206
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 1: like them making it easier for them. That's the that's

2207
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 1: the thing I just don't want to see. That's the

2208
01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:26,320
Speaker 1: fastest way to frustrate fans when you're just giving them

2209
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:28,800
Speaker 1: stuff like you know, you go back to that Titans

2210
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:31,400
Speaker 1: game in Week five when they had three different guys

2211
01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:34,120
Speaker 1: on offense commit fall start penalties in the span of

2212
01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 1: six snaps. I mean, if I had hair left to

2213
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:38,720
Speaker 1: pull out, I would have pulled it all out watching that.

2214
01:55:39,240 --> 01:55:41,120
Speaker 1: That's just I can't imagine how it is for a

2215
01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:44,120
Speaker 1: head coach. That's got to be infuriating because it's unforced.

2216
01:55:44,440 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, watch the ball gets snapped you know what

2217
01:55:47,240 --> 01:55:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that kind of thing. So it is what

2218
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 1: it is, I guess smirless story. Yeah, oh yes, he

2219
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:56,920
Speaker 1: left the Bills, went to San Francisco for you, then

2220
01:55:56,960 --> 01:55:59,080
Speaker 1: he went to New England. Right, yes, finished in New

2221
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:01,560
Speaker 1: England and we played against him with Freddy on their

2222
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:05,240
Speaker 1: side of the ball. And in that game he jumped off.

2223
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:07,040
Speaker 1: Jim told him he's gonna call him off size and

2224
01:56:07,080 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: he did. Andre Tippett was livid. Oh oh my gosh.

2225
01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:16,000
Speaker 1: It was yeah. All right, we have to take a break.

2226
01:56:16,160 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 1: But when we return, it'll be time for what's the

2227

Speaker 1: Scoop with Taron Johnson, So we'll hear from him when

2228

2237
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 1: you rocket today? Brownie blitz Siltz. All right, let's let's

2238
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:05,440
Speaker 1: do a quick take the test before we get into

2239
01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:11,720
Speaker 1: our interview here. That's good. You're a Weaver State grad.

2240
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:14,840
Speaker 1: You got drafted in the fourth round, You're from Sacramento.

2241
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 1: When did you know that you had a shot at

2242
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:21,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. Oh? Well, when I got to Weaver State,

2243
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:24,360
Speaker 1: my coach told me whatever you can, whatever you want

2244
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 1: to do at this school, you can do at any

2245
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:27,080
Speaker 1: other school. That means if you want to go to

2246
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, that that can happen out of this school.

2247
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:33,120
Speaker 1: And then after, I say, after my sophomore year, we

2248
01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 1: had a guy who's a senior who actually got a

2249
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:39,600
Speaker 1: shot at the NFL at cornerback, and that that gave

2250
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 1: me really all the confidence because I already felt like

2251
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:45,240
Speaker 1: I was pretty good, and him being able to get

2252
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:47,400
Speaker 1: a shot and just gave me that confidence off the

2253
01:57:47,480 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 1: football field. What have been some of your favorite moments

2254
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 1: so far being on this team, Just being in the

2255
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:55,280
Speaker 1: locker room every day with those guys. I mean, it's

2256
01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:57,640
Speaker 1: just fun. Would you say the secondary has some of

2257
01:57:57,680 --> 01:58:04,280
Speaker 1: the biggest personalities Yes, Uh for sure, Tredavis he's just crazy,

2258
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:06,440
Speaker 1: just a different kind of kind of guy. But he

2259
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,960
Speaker 1: brings that energy, that juice every day, so it helps us.

2260
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:11,960
Speaker 1: You got the energy and juice from Tredavious every day.

2261
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 1: But what type of personality do you bring to the

2262
01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:17,280
Speaker 1: team every day? I feel like I'm calm, chill, you

2263
01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:20,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Uh, not too wild, just just

2264
01:58:21,600 --> 01:58:24,480
Speaker 1: just laid back. Who motivates you? Who's your role model

2265
01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:28,600
Speaker 1: in your life? I'd say I'd say my dad, Um,

2266
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:32,280
Speaker 1: big deal. Uh, he's single, raised me on his own,

2267
01:58:32,320 --> 01:58:34,760
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And I know that's not

2268
01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:38,240
Speaker 1: an easy thing to do, and just he's part of

2269
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:40,800
Speaker 1: the reason why I'm here, so that he's a big

2270
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:43,640
Speaker 1: role model for me. What's something that most people don't

2271
01:58:43,680 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 1: know about you? I don't know. I say, when I

2272
01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:49,640
Speaker 1: was at the combine, I got hit in the head

2273
01:58:49,680 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 1: with the ball at the doing the gatlet drill. A

2274
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know that's me. Yeah, but yeah

2275
01:58:58,280 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 1: we're you lible to shake it off though, just get

2276
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:02,800
Speaker 1: back right into it. Yeah, yeah, it was. If you

2277
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 1: had a superpower, what would it be, Uh speed for sure,

2278
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:10,320
Speaker 1: like just super fast. I feel like you're pretty fast

2279
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 1: already playing the same No, but like faster than fast people.

2280
01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like where you can barely see me,

2281
01:59:16,600 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 1: that's how fast I am. Okay, all right? From violent? Uh.

2282
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:23,440
Speaker 1: If you could see anyone in concert, debt or alive,

2283
01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:26,840
Speaker 1: who would it be? And why? I like? I like

2284
01:59:27,480 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 1: j Cole honestly, I like, right now, at this moment

2285
01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:34,000
Speaker 1: is probably right way. I'd probably go see him in concert,

2286
01:59:34,080 --> 01:59:36,280
Speaker 1: just because I know just about every every song his.

2287
01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:39,480
Speaker 1: If you could have dinner with one person dead or alive,

2288
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:42,120
Speaker 1: who would it be and why? I never thought about

2289
01:59:42,120 --> 01:59:48,080
Speaker 1: this question? This person Black Obama? I like, I like

2290
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:49,720
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, and I feel like that would be a

2291
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:52,960
Speaker 1: good conversation. Yeah. Do you have a favorite meal? If

2292
01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:55,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna sit down and eat something, what are what

2293
01:59:55,320 --> 01:59:57,760
Speaker 1: are you eating? What are you ordering? What are you making?

2294
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:00,720
Speaker 1: Like throughout my whole entire life, I say it's actually

2295
02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:03,880
Speaker 1: buffalo wings, which is kind of crazy. That is that

2296
02:00:03,960 --> 02:00:06,840
Speaker 1: has been my favorite food since I was a very

2297
02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:11,080
Speaker 1: very young child, and I still eat more than I

2298
02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:14,920
Speaker 1: more than I should sometimes. So when you got drafted

2299
02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:17,800
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, was it like that was one thing I

2300
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:19,880
Speaker 1: was very excited about. That was one thing I was

2301
02:00:19,960 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 1: very excited about is here and last question, if you

2302
02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 1: were to have some ice cream, what are your favorite

2303
02:00:27,760 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 1: toppings to go on ice cream? I love sprinkles. I

2304
02:00:31,280 --> 02:00:33,000
Speaker 1: know that sounds weird, but that's just what I like.

2305
02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Vanilla ice cream with sprinkle it just taste so good

2306
02:00:35,440 --> 02:00:37,640
Speaker 1: to me. I don't understand why people give me a

2307
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:39,200
Speaker 1: hard time with it, but that that's what I like.

2308
02:00:39,640 --> 02:00:42,800
Speaker 1: They're just something about sprinkles. I totally agree. They may

2309
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:45,240
Speaker 1: not be the most flavorful, but they just add to

2310
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 1: the ice cream. Yeah, they do, Taren. Thanks for answering

2311
02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:50,520
Speaker 1: those questions. Good to get to know you a little better.

2312
02:00:51,360 --> 02:00:54,320
Speaker 1: Definitely appreciate it. That's what's the scoop persented Buy Perry's

2313
02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:56,800
Speaker 1: ice Cream, the official ice cream of Buffalo Bills. Go

2314
02:00:56,920 --> 02:00:59,960
Speaker 1: grab some today at your working retailer or on perry

2315
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:03,760
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, what's the scoop with Tarren Johnson? Who?

2316
02:01:03,960 --> 02:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Who knew he loved Wings so much? We now know?

2317
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:08,600
Speaker 1: How do you not love Wings? Though? I mean, well,

2318
02:01:08,680 --> 02:01:10,640
Speaker 1: that's true, but he's liked him since he was literally

2319
02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:12,680
Speaker 1: even before he got here, so really that's why he

2320
02:01:12,760 --> 02:01:14,560
Speaker 1: was so pumped to be drafted by the Bills because

2321
02:01:14,560 --> 02:01:15,720
Speaker 1: he knew he was going to go get the best

2322
02:01:15,760 --> 02:01:19,000
Speaker 1: wings he's ever had. Probably, so there it is. We

2323
02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 1: do want to get to the football Crisis hotline. We

2324
02:01:21,720 --> 02:01:26,720
Speaker 1: have an emergency. This one was sent in. They were

2325
02:01:26,760 --> 02:01:30,920
Speaker 1: trying to call but were interrupted. So from John, he says,

2326
02:01:32,080 --> 02:01:34,680
Speaker 1: we like to watch it on MSG. I actually tried

2327
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:39,640
Speaker 1: to call in today for the football relationship advice. I'm married.

2328
02:01:39,720 --> 02:01:42,800
Speaker 1: I married a New York Giants fan over forty two

2329
02:01:42,880 --> 02:01:47,120
Speaker 1: years ago. Now, the Giants are so bad that every

2330
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:51,000
Speaker 1: time they lose another one of my Bills shirts disappears.

2331
02:01:51,800 --> 02:01:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm afraid she has more of these shirts than I

2332
02:01:54,400 --> 02:01:58,480
Speaker 1: do at this point. Ha ha. So apparently he's taking

2333
02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:05,040
Speaker 1: it quite well. Um, but she takes I think she's

2334
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:08,320
Speaker 1: taking them and never to be seen again. So so,

2335
02:02:08,600 --> 02:02:10,880
Speaker 1: but he says she's got him, she's got more than

2336
02:02:10,960 --> 02:02:12,800
Speaker 1: I do. That gets the idea that she's stealing his

2337
02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:16,520
Speaker 1: shirts to wear them. Okay, two things, Okay, two things. Um.

2338
02:02:16,880 --> 02:02:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this is a situation where she

2339
02:02:20,240 --> 02:02:24,320
Speaker 1: is turning her allegiance to the Bills. It's unclear. I

2340
02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:26,120
Speaker 1: don't know if she's turning her allegiance to the Bills,

2341
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:29,680
Speaker 1: or if out of her frustration about her football team,

2342
02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:34,080
Speaker 1: she's spiting her husband and depriving him of enjoying his

2343
02:02:34,160 --> 02:02:37,720
Speaker 1: fandom when his team is actually playing well. So I

2344
02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:41,200
Speaker 1: think I think two things. First, if this is a

2345
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 1: spiteful gesture, hide the shirts. If this is a spiteful gesture,

2346
02:02:46,800 --> 02:02:49,360
Speaker 1: you need to go on a man hunt and find

2347
02:02:49,440 --> 02:02:52,400
Speaker 1: out the hiding place and hopefully it's a hiding place

2348
02:02:52,440 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 1: and it's not the trash. And once you discover your

2349
02:02:56,320 --> 02:02:58,120
Speaker 1: shirts again, I think you need to sit down and

2350
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:01,360
Speaker 1: have a serious conversation, and the conversation needs to deal

2351
02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:10,200
Speaker 1: with this Number one. You chose your team. I chose mine. Okay,

2352
02:03:10,920 --> 02:03:13,280
Speaker 1: you chose your team, but I chose mine. If you

2353
02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:14,840
Speaker 1: want to come over to this side of the fence,

2354
02:03:14,920 --> 02:03:17,360
Speaker 1: you're more than welcome play the adult card, but do

2355
02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:22,640
Speaker 1: not do not deprive me of my ability to root

2356
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:25,200
Speaker 1: for my team and wear my team's colors because you're

2357
02:03:25,240 --> 02:03:27,520
Speaker 1: not happy with your team. That's way out of line.

2358
02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care what relationship you have. That is.

2359
02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:34,120
Speaker 1: That is like breaking Commandment number one, the freedom to

2360
02:03:34,360 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 1: root for my team with my paraphernalia. You can't take

2361
02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:40,880
Speaker 1: that for me. That is a god given right in

2362
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:43,520
Speaker 1: my estimation. Second, and this is the second point I

2363
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:45,400
Speaker 1: need to make here, Stephen, then I'll leave the floor

2364
02:03:45,440 --> 02:03:48,200
Speaker 1: to you. The second point we need to make is

2365
02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:54,760
Speaker 1: the Giants have already provided enough hurt for any Bills

2366
02:03:54,800 --> 02:03:59,720
Speaker 1: fan that is over the age of thirty or thirty

2367
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:06,720
Speaker 1: two probably, So you already have done enough damage to

2368
02:04:06,880 --> 02:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Bills fans from super Bowl twenty five. Okay, So to

2369
02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:15,000
Speaker 1: take it another step further and pull something like this

2370
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:18,640
Speaker 1: that is the ultimate in being insensitive as I see it.

2371
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:23,160
Speaker 1: So she's got two strikes against her, John, and I

2372
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:25,000
Speaker 1: know you've been married over forty years, and good on

2373
02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:27,560
Speaker 1: you guys for doing that, especially in a house divided

2374
02:04:27,680 --> 02:04:29,840
Speaker 1: like this. I can't imagine what super Bowl twenty five

2375
02:04:29,960 --> 02:04:34,320
Speaker 1: was like for you too. But she is clearly in

2376
02:04:34,400 --> 02:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the wrong here. She has stepped over the line and

2377
02:04:37,480 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 1: this needs to be corrected, and hopefully the suggestions that

2378
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:43,520
Speaker 1: I made will be considered. And Steve, I don't know

2379
02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 1: if you have any of your own well, first of all,

2380
02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how you act when the Bills win

2381
02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 1: and the Giants lose. If you're taking a little bit

2382
02:04:52,680 --> 02:04:56,360
Speaker 1: too much relish in that moment. Maybe it's on you

2383
02:04:56,560 --> 02:04:59,160
Speaker 1: for driving her crazy and telling her that she's going

2384
02:04:59,200 --> 02:05:01,840
Speaker 1: to get you back for that. At uh, being married

2385
02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:05,000
Speaker 1: forty two years, you're probably gonna survive any of this

2386
02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 1: conflict anyway, but I would like to know that. And secondly,

2387
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:12,839
Speaker 1: you do need to find out if if she's stealing

2388
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:14,880
Speaker 1: them and throwing them away or stealing them and just

2389
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:19,560
Speaker 1: hiding them. But if she's if you can if she's

2390
02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:21,280
Speaker 1: starting to turn into a Bills fans, I get that,

2391
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:23,360
Speaker 1: then it's not a problem. But if she's doing it

2392
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:25,080
Speaker 1: out of spite because the Bills are winning and the

2393
02:05:25,160 --> 02:05:32,400
Speaker 1: Giants are losing, um, yeah, I would then, I hate

2394
02:05:32,440 --> 02:05:35,360
Speaker 1: to say it. I would then rub her nose in

2395
02:05:35,480 --> 02:05:39,600
Speaker 1: it hard until she gives you the shirts back. Make

2396
02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:42,880
Speaker 1: be impossible. It's just just be a jerk. Steal the

2397
02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:48,440
Speaker 1: t take the tv UH, badmouth the Giants all while

2398
02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:51,240
Speaker 1: the Bills are way ride and high, um, and just

2399
02:05:51,480 --> 02:05:55,000
Speaker 1: make it so unbearably difficult for her to live with

2400
02:05:55,120 --> 02:05:57,840
Speaker 1: you unless you get your shirts back. Uh, then you

2401
02:05:58,200 --> 02:05:59,880
Speaker 1: have that done and and let her know that you

2402
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:01,640
Speaker 1: will get You'll stop doing it as soon as she

2403
02:06:01,960 --> 02:06:05,800
Speaker 1: costs the shirts back. Up. But if she's stealing him

2404
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:10,920
Speaker 1: in good natured fun, just keep buying more shirts. Yeah,

2405
02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:13,800
Speaker 1: and when she complains about the credit card bill, say, well,

2406
02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I lost a few shirts.

2407
02:06:15,480 --> 02:06:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Yeah, and buy the expensive ones. Yeah,

2408
02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:21,880
Speaker 1: eight oh three, oh five fifty. I believe we have

2409
02:06:22,080 --> 02:06:27,000
Speaker 1: another caller for the football crisis hotline. Hello, Mark and Buffalo.

2410
02:06:27,120 --> 02:06:30,440
Speaker 1: What's your emergency. Oh it's not an emergency, it's just

2411
02:06:30,560 --> 02:06:34,400
Speaker 1: a suggestion. Okay. Married twenty five years this year. Been

2412
02:06:34,480 --> 02:06:37,960
Speaker 1: with my wife over thirty And when we first started dating,

2413
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:40,600
Speaker 1: we used to go to games together, but she wasn't

2414
02:06:40,600 --> 02:06:43,160
Speaker 1: really a football fan. She just enjoyed going to the games,

2415
02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:46,600
Speaker 1: having fun, party in a little bit. And then we

2416
02:06:46,720 --> 02:06:50,360
Speaker 1: got married and she worked in retail and she became

2417
02:06:50,440 --> 02:06:54,720
Speaker 1: a manager. So she works every Sunday pretty much. And

2418
02:06:54,920 --> 02:06:57,520
Speaker 1: the days that she doesn't, here's the key. The sundays

2419
02:06:57,560 --> 02:07:00,160
Speaker 1: that she doesn't work. You've got to make sure your

2420
02:07:00,200 --> 02:07:04,240
Speaker 1: girlfriend or your wife has a real close friend that

2421
02:07:04,440 --> 02:07:07,160
Speaker 1: you can send her out was on a Sunday, because

2422
02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:09,800
Speaker 1: then they leave you alone. And then the other side

2423
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:12,720
Speaker 1: of it is that because she used to sort of

2424
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:15,320
Speaker 1: be a fan. She really can't condemn me for watching

2425
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:17,360
Speaker 1: the Bills and being such a big fan because she

2426
02:07:17,480 --> 02:07:20,760
Speaker 1: used to be one herself. So that's just my little signal,

2427
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:24,400
Speaker 1: all right, Well, Mark that that's good advice and about planning. Yes,

2428
02:07:24,480 --> 02:07:27,240
Speaker 1: it is all about planning, and Mark apparently hasn't figured

2429
02:07:27,280 --> 02:07:30,200
Speaker 1: out so good on you, although your wife is helping

2430
02:07:30,240 --> 02:07:32,600
Speaker 1: you there big time by choosing to work on Sundays.

2431
02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:35,440
Speaker 1: That makes your life a whole lot easier. And I

2432
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:37,480
Speaker 1: get a target in the man cave for seven hours

2433
02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:40,680
Speaker 1: and watch football. Right, it's hard to to have recruited

2434
02:07:41,440 --> 02:07:46,040
Speaker 1: and the fans, like like significant others, whether man or

2435
02:07:46,120 --> 02:07:50,920
Speaker 1: men or woman who kind of became Bills fans during

2436
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:56,680
Speaker 1: the drought. Hard to entice them to remain a Bills

2437
02:07:56,760 --> 02:07:58,360
Speaker 1: fan if they you know, it's hard for them to

2438
02:07:58,400 --> 02:08:01,000
Speaker 1: be passionate about something that he really never gave him

2439
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:02,720
Speaker 1: the satisfaction other than going to the game and having

2440
02:08:02,760 --> 02:08:07,240
Speaker 1: a chance to drink. Now there's something to get excited about. Now,

2441
02:08:07,280 --> 02:08:09,280
Speaker 1: it's easier to make, you know, kind of get him

2442
02:08:09,320 --> 02:08:12,240
Speaker 1: into the game. And I think I would suggest, you know, Mark,

2443
02:08:12,680 --> 02:08:15,200
Speaker 1: you make the effort to turn her into a fan.

2444
02:08:15,280 --> 02:08:16,800
Speaker 1: This is a team that's easy to root for. So

2445
02:08:16,960 --> 02:08:19,240
Speaker 1: trying to get her passion back up to the point

2446
02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 1: where you can do it together again. That's that's the

2447
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:24,840
Speaker 1: best case scenario. Get it though, You got to watch

2448
02:08:24,920 --> 02:08:28,200
Speaker 1: the game, but you need to need to recruit your

2449
02:08:28,280 --> 02:08:30,160
Speaker 1: wife to do it with you. You'll be you'll be

2450
02:08:30,240 --> 02:08:33,400
Speaker 1: a happier man for it. Yeah, but I don't know

2451
02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:37,080
Speaker 1: that he has all that much interested doing that. He's

2452
02:08:37,160 --> 02:08:39,840
Speaker 1: very happy when she's either working or has a friend

2453
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:43,360
Speaker 1: to go shopping with, I guess, or do something or

2454
02:08:43,440 --> 02:08:45,920
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe she's watching the game with her with

2455
02:08:46,040 --> 02:08:49,240
Speaker 1: her friend, uh and doing it their way because oh,

2456
02:08:49,280 --> 02:08:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, that's true. Everybody likes to do

2457
02:08:51,160 --> 02:08:53,920
Speaker 1: it a different way. So glad we could help this

2458
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:57,640
Speaker 1: week on the Football Crisis Hotline. We that's why we're here.

2459
02:08:57,680 --> 02:09:00,200
Speaker 1: We're here to help you and if you have any

2460
02:09:00,240 --> 02:09:05,080
Speaker 1: crises where your football life is intersecting with your love life,

2461
02:09:05,440 --> 02:09:08,640
Speaker 1: we're here to provide solutions because we've had to turn

2462
02:09:08,720 --> 02:09:12,640
Speaker 1: to those very solutions ourselves in many instances. We have

2463
02:09:12,760 --> 02:09:14,760
Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we return, it is

2464
02:09:14,880 --> 02:09:17,360
Speaker 1: time for what have we learned. We will do that

2465
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:20,520
Speaker 1: when we close up this Friday, edition of one Bills

2466
02:09:20,560 --> 02:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Live Next Here on Buffalo Bills Radio, I'm for What

2467
02:09:36,520 --> 02:09:39,640
Speaker 1: Have We Learned? Brought to you by Skyworks, the official

2468
02:09:39,760 --> 02:09:44,160
Speaker 1: construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. Among our

2469
02:09:44,240 --> 02:09:47,600
Speaker 1: guests on today's show won Greg co Sell from NFL

2470
02:09:47,720 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 1: Films and ESPN's NFL Matchup Show, who helped us break

2471
02:09:51,800 --> 02:09:54,280
Speaker 1: down this upcoming game between the Bills and Patriots and

2472
02:09:54,440 --> 02:09:58,360
Speaker 1: talked about where he sees Cam Newton's biggest struggles with

2473
02:09:58,440 --> 02:10:01,440
Speaker 1: his game. You know, I think when you look at

2474
02:10:01,520 --> 02:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Cam over these last number of weeks, he's not seeing

2475
02:10:05,080 --> 02:10:08,720
Speaker 1: things with the necessary clarity, so he's leaving throws on

2476
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:11,520
Speaker 1: the field. What that means is he's not turning it

2477
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:15,720
Speaker 1: loose to open receivers within the context of the play

2478
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:19,839
Speaker 1: call and the route concepts. And he's also missing throws

2479
02:10:19,920 --> 02:10:23,400
Speaker 1: with poor accuracy. So he's been struggling in that area.

2480
02:10:23,640 --> 02:10:25,760
Speaker 1: He seems to me watching team to be playing very

2481
02:10:25,840 --> 02:10:31,840
Speaker 1: deliberately and Steve, when you hear that, doesn't that it

2482
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:34,680
Speaker 1: goes to maybe him still getting adjusted to the system.

2483
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:36,840
Speaker 1: But I think it also goes to his trust in

2484
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:39,680
Speaker 1: the people he is throwing too, doesn't it. Yeah, I

2485
02:10:39,760 --> 02:10:41,360
Speaker 1: think it's all of that. I think he's in a

2486
02:10:41,440 --> 02:10:46,680
Speaker 1: new new system, new environment, new offense, with different people,

2487
02:10:47,480 --> 02:10:52,680
Speaker 1: with no preseason, and on the fly, with a new culture.

2488
02:10:52,720 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: They handle him probably differently than they did in Carolina. Yeah,

2489
02:10:57,520 --> 02:11:00,440
Speaker 1: he's his head's probably swimming. I mean the only guy

2490
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:03,480
Speaker 1: he probably felt like he could trust was probably Edelman,

2491
02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:06,720
Speaker 1: the veteran who knows this system backwards and forwards. Now

2492
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:08,880
Speaker 1: he's got I mean, Steve, we already went through it.

2493
02:11:09,080 --> 02:11:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Nikil Harry, Jacoby Myers. I mean you got guys, you,

2494
02:11:14,240 --> 02:11:17,520
Speaker 1: demere Bird, Gunnar Olshevsky, I mean, you got guys that

2495
02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:20,520
Speaker 1: we've never even heard of. He's got to trust these

2496
02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:22,320
Speaker 1: guys implicitly on the field, and I don't know that

2497
02:11:22,360 --> 02:11:24,320
Speaker 1: he does. Yeah, I've got like six guys. I've got

2498
02:11:24,360 --> 02:11:26,680
Speaker 1: seven receivers listed for the Patriots, and here's the ones

2499
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:31,640
Speaker 1: that are available. Demere Bird, Jacoby Myers, Matt Slater, Isaiah

2500
02:11:31,840 --> 02:11:39,040
Speaker 1: Zuber and Gunner Olshevsky, Oshusky, this return guy. Yeah, it's

2501
02:11:40,480 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 1: it's not murderers row and I think I think he's

2502
02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:46,840
Speaker 1: up against it and they're trying to do their best

2503
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:49,320
Speaker 1: and it's it's amazing, though the Patriots have spent a

2504
02:11:49,440 --> 02:11:53,160
Speaker 1: lot of their draft capital free agency. They've taken flyers

2505
02:11:54,520 --> 02:11:57,240
Speaker 1: on reivers a tunnel. They hadn't done it the last

2506
02:11:57,320 --> 02:12:01,440
Speaker 1: two years. It has been constant. Yeah, uh, nikkil Harry

2507
02:12:01,560 --> 02:12:03,600
Speaker 1: was out for so long last year with the with

2508
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:07,160
Speaker 1: the injury, Hamed sinou Tree didn't work last year. Edelman

2509
02:12:07,320 --> 02:12:12,760
Speaker 1: has been overused and now he's breaking down physically unbelievable.

2510
02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:15,880
Speaker 1: So it's they have. It's not for lack of trying

2511
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:18,200
Speaker 1: that the Patriots are standing there with with this group

2512
02:12:18,240 --> 02:12:21,320
Speaker 1: of receivers coming in. I mean you can go way back.

2513
02:12:21,640 --> 02:12:25,720
Speaker 1: They they have not scouted receivers well over the course

2514
02:12:25,800 --> 02:12:29,160
Speaker 1: of probably the last fifteen plus years. I mean, whether

2515
02:12:29,200 --> 02:12:32,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about Chad Jackson in the second round like

2516
02:12:32,160 --> 02:12:35,760
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and three, uh reche called well,

2517
02:12:36,520 --> 02:12:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean they've run down. Look at you pulling those

2518
02:12:39,080 --> 02:12:42,160
Speaker 1: names out of there, right, there's a long rundown of

2519
02:12:42,280 --> 02:12:44,880
Speaker 1: players at the receiver position that they had not been

2520
02:12:44,960 --> 02:12:48,040
Speaker 1: successful in bringing on board and making a success story

2521
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:50,080
Speaker 1: out of it. It's amazing too. Nikkil Harry was a

2522
02:12:50,120 --> 02:12:55,680
Speaker 1: first round draft pick in and how do they met?

2523
02:12:55,760 --> 02:12:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean you heard fred Smerla's earlier in the show.

2524
02:12:57,920 --> 02:13:01,040
Speaker 1: He's big, but he's slow and he doesn't run good routes.

2525
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:03,760
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, you can always rely on Fred to give

2526
02:13:03,760 --> 02:13:09,160
Speaker 1: it to you straight right right. Oh well, look, this

2527
02:13:09,360 --> 02:13:11,840
Speaker 1: is gonna do it just for us, but be sure
