25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: to handle this this year. But if you had another

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,119

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,120

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: to pay attention to the other game. You're gonna have

33
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: homework to do a video to watch of. Yeah. For instance,

00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: tomorrow Sunday night, not this Sunday night, but right next

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: because you'll see that. I've got to watch all I've

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. And the Dolphins are home one o'clock Sunday

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. Yeah, I'll miss that one. Yeah. And the

49
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: Patriots are home one o'clock Sunday against the Houston UM.

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: All interesting games, I think Miami. Of course, Tannehill back,

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's gonna be his first NFL action

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: since the December of twenty sixteen. Yeah. I think if

53
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: somebody had like six hundred fifty days between games for

54
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannahill, that's big. Sam Darnald twenty one years old

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: to be the youngest, uh youngest quarterback to start a

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: season opener in the Super Bowl era, came across that

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: little Nuggets just a little bit over, the twenty youngest

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: quarterback of all time to start right and the Super Bowl. Ever,

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: they say there might have been somebody back in the

60
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: old old days. Yeah, nineteen forties or something that doesn't count, Yeah,

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: it does. And what else? What can I tell you

62
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: about Patriots? Patriots are good normally when they opened up

63
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: a season at home, what they say they won? They

64
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: won nine out of the last eleven or seven of

65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: their last nine. Of course they're good. Hurd, It'll be

66
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: they're hard to beat. And so are the Baltimore Ravens.

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: Apparently they have a really nice September record. Yep, they started.

68
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: They get out of the gates fast, which under John

69
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Harbor have all the time he's been there. So it'll

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be a rough game for Buffalo. But

71
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I remember the last time the Buffalo Bills went in there.

72
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: It was two years ago, Opening Days and it was

73
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: thirteen to seven. The game was the low scoring game.

74
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty yards total offense for the Bills

75
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: in that game, three off I looked up that game

76
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: this morning too. I've been working all days. They were

77
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Those were three of thirteen on third downs in that game.

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: It was a rough, rough game. And it's different now.

79
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: It's two years ago, different coaching staff here, different players

80
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: on both sides, brand new quarterback and Nathan Peterman and

81
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: that game is going to be the focus today, right.

82
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,640

Speaker 1: I love Fridays during the regular season and The only

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: thing better than a Friday before a road game is

00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000

123

Speaker 1: Steve and I are going to have our predictions for

126
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: the Bill season in our super Bowl predictions. Although you

127
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: seem to be downplaying that. You think it doesn't matter. Huh, Well,

128
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: there's nothing on the line. Although we could put something

129
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: on the mine, you know, in a legal way. I

130
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: get you, I get you a little good, good natured

131
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: inter off. That's not elite. That's not allowed. Though I'm

132
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: under the new gambling it doesn't have to be something

133
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: to you know, doesn't have to be two money, it

134
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be money. True, But we're going to

135
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: talk about what we see for the Bills this year,

136
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: what we see for the NFL this year, all of

137
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: that coming up on the show. I came across something

138
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: I am I am really I am vetted this yet,

139
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: but I read it to you right. But this was

140
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: on on my feed today. Last five years in Baltimore

141
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: has had a reputation for being one of the top

142
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: notch franchise is very consistent over the years, you know,

143
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: with Ozzie Newsom running and Steve Biscotti is the owner.

144
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: Very consistent, very high quality, very stable franchise. Um they're

145
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: over the last five years, they're forty and forty in

146
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: their games. The Buffalo Bills are thirty nine and forty one.

147
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: And both teams have a one playoff appearance, and the

148
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills is the most recent. That's interesting. I wouldn't

149
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: have you know, you think about how you know you

150
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: see ten do you perceive other other teams are having

151
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: it better or doing better or seemingly better, and it

152
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been the case for Buffalo. In Baltimore, the Buffalo

153
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Bills are one game behind where maybe two games now,

154
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: but they're they've lost one more game than the Ravens

155
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: over the last five years in the regular season. It's

156
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting to think about. Of course, now the

157
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: fifty year, the sixth year back that was the Super

158
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Bowl year. I was gonna say that's where the perception

159
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: comes from, and look, I get it. I salute the Ravens.

160
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: They've been remarkably consistent, They've been good. I think Ozzi

161
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: Knewsom is the main reason for that. He's an outstanding

162
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: personnel evaluator. But when you win a super Bowl, you

163
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt for a long time

164
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: after that's been five years since the super Bowl, six

165
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: years agoes when they went, you get the benefit of

166
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: the doubt because you did it right, and you did

167
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: it and had they lost the Super Bowl, you don't

168
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: get that benefit of the doubt. You know that maybe

169
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: more than anybody around. But when you win a super Bowl,

170
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: you get the benefit of the doubt for mostly every

171
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: personnel decision you make after that, every coaching change you make,

172
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: because look, they won a super Bowl, and I get

173
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that, But I'm just saying,

174
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: as you point out, those numbers show you that the

175
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: last five years, there's not this wide gulf between where

176
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens have been and where the Bills have been.

177
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: The Ravens have gone a couple of years without a

178
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: playoff spot. Now the Bills have one last year. We'll

179
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: see how this year goes. The point spread the vibe.

180
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: I was talking to my brother about an hour ago,

181
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: who's going to the game in Baltimore, and you know

182
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: he's worried about it. He said, I don't know. Everybody

183
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: says it's a it's the lock of the week that

184
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: the Bills will get smoked, and I'm thinking, ah, let's

185
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: wait and see. Let's wait and see for a couple

186
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: of reasons, and we'll talk in depth about this game.

187
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: The Bills have essentially very much of the same cast

188
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 1: of characters they had a year ago, a team that

189
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: won nine games. They won a couple of big road

190
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: games last year, including one at Kansas City one in Atlanta,

191
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: to two playoff teams from a year ago. And here's

192
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: the and this is the part you and I are

193
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: the only ones talking about it. They have the Sean

194
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: McDermott imprint on this team. Now they have McDermott's character. Yes,

195
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: they're they're serious underdogs this week. And I don't think

196
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: those players out there practicing right now give it him, Steven.

197
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they care whether they're underdogs, whether they're favorites,

198
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: what their perception is. They're gonna come out and play hard.

199
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk without Eric word about this. He has some

200
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: interesting We talked with him about it, and he answer

201
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: seen things to say about the feedback he got last

202
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,479
Speaker 1: year about the Bill's character. The Bills team culture absolutely,

203
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: and I think it is tangible. He got some feedback

204
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: from players around the league that he's spoken to about

205
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: what they saw from the Bill's team. There's no question

206
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: that it showed up in that video that everybody, every

207
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: Bills fan has seen now of the team finding out

208
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: there getting in the playoffs. We've seen you and I've

209
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: spoken at length about the last preseason game where that

210
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: culture showed up in a big way in Chicago, and

211
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: there's no doubt and all the things, and we've seen

212
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: a bunch of it. I mean, when we're sitting here

213
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: getting ready for the show, we scour the Buffalo Bill's website,

214
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, we talk to other people, We see all

215
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: the in the content that all the other pieces of

216
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: the Bills organization put out there. And there's a ton

217
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: of video. And every time you see Sean McDermott on

218
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: his message, even on camera or off, is on point

219
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: all the time, and he never misses some of the

220
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: things that you hear. There's a video out of a

221
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: hype video now out now that Black River Entertainment put

222
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: out of PSC with a singer I can't remember her

223
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: first named Anderson and Abby Anderson and The House of

224
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: the Rising Sun is a it's a cover of that

225
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: or a remake of that remix, and it's pretty It

226
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: gives you some chills. It's pretty good. But everything you

227
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: see from Sean McDermott and the message coming out of

228
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: the locker room is exactly what it should be. When

229
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: you've got a team that is always on the same

230
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: page mentally, when they're prepped, when they're emotional the same way,

231
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: when they when they're united like that, it does make

232
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: a difference. I noticed it in the great teams I

233
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: was on, and I noticed it was missing from the

234
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: teams that weren't so great. It does mean something. We

235
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: saw it last year and I know that that's a

236
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 1: that's a pretty you know, it's a non intangible thing

237
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: to hang your hat on. It's like, you know, hanging

238
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: your hat on an invisible hook. But it's still there.

239
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: I think it will. I think it's going to show

240
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: up at times this year. Maybe it'll show up on

241
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: this opening weekend, maybe it won't, but I know that

242
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: it's it has made a difference in the past for

243
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: these guys. They're players involved too, obviously, there's coaches involved,

244
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: there's practice involved. Right now, as far as players, Sean

245
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: McDermott told the media before practice today that there's still

246
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: no decision. At least he's not announcing a decision on

247
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: the starter at cornerback opposite for daboas White. It'll be

248
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: either Vonte Davis or Philip Gaines. McDermott not ready to say.

249
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: I gotta believe. We don't see that part of practice,

250
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: but I gotta believe they've been working with the you know,

251
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: the first team in practice and my hunches, Steve and

252
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: I have no inside info on this. My hunches they

253
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: may go with Philip Gaines starting on Sunday in Baltimore.

254
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on that maybe, and if if that's the case.

255
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: If that's the case, you gotta if they're gonna do

256
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: something with Vonta Davis, if they're gonna move him, trade him,

257
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: or do something with him, If Gains has outperformed, if

258
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: I think he gives him the better chance athletically or whatever,

259
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: what every shortcomings are, to go with him early in

260
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: the season. I think it says something not just about

261
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: what Gains has done, but also Vonte Davis, you know,

262
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: not being able to measure up well. He's coming off

263
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: you know, the injury year. Maybe they just be patient

264
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: with him. Trent Murphy will play, but he'll be in

265
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: a pitch count according to McDermott, meaning he won't get

266
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: the full compliment of place. He'll split some place with

267
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: shack Lass and I'm all right with that. I'm excited

268
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: about seeing Trent Murphy play. We haven't seen him, you know,

269
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: at all this summer, right and you and I were

270
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: both really high on We spoke to him, had him

271
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: on the show, and he's pretty impressive guy to sitting

272
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: next to and talk with about how intense he is,

273
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: how important it is to him. And then we watched

274
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: him for the first few practices of training camp and

275
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: he was really impressive. I mean, his motor was fast,

276
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: and I think that's a kind of player where that

277
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: bleeds over into other players performance. Other guys see it

278
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: and they want to try and match it. Other guys

279
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: see it and they get benefit from it. Other guys

280
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: want to emulate that kind of motor and that kind

281
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: of attitude, in that kind of pace in his everyday practice.

282
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: I think if he turns out to be like he

283
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: did in the first couple of practice as a training camp,

284
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited about what he does this year.

285
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: Julian Stanford, we believe is going to be listed as

286
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: limited in practice again today. The injury report comes out

287
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: after practice. Ray Ray McLeod. We believe he's on the

288
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: sideline today with a kne injury. But again the official

289
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: injury report is an hour or two away. And that's it.

290
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: That's what you're looking at. Builds in Baltimore coming up

291
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: Sunday at one o'clock. Now, we want to talk about

292
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: this game. We want to get your predictions on this game.

293
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: We want to do it in this format. It's our

294
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: question on Twitter. You can see it at one Builds Live.

295
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: We'd love to hear you call up and explain to

296
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: us on the phone how you see this going. The

297
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: number to call eight h three fifty or from outside

298
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

299
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: five fifty. Two days away from the season opener, Bills

300
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Give us two things, two things that need

301
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: to happen for the Bills to get a win over

302
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens. What two things need to happen? I've got two.

303
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: My number one thing is no more than one turnover

304
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: by the Bills. Ravens thirty four takeaways last year, twenty

305
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: two interceptions, NFL leaders in that those departments can't happen.

306
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: The Bills you know, are going to be you know

307
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna be up against it offensively, right, we know

308
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: that they can't turn it over and expect to have success.

309
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: So Number one for me is no more no turnovers

310
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: if possible, but certainly no more than one turnover for

311
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense in this game. Number two, and this

312
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: is on the offense as well. I want to see McCoy.

313
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: I want to see McCoy a lot. Want to see

314
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: him get the twenty plus carries and hopefully get over

315
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: one hundred yards. Those are two things that need to

316
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: happen for the Bills to come out with a win

317
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Your thoughts, I think, yeah, I agree with that.

318
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: The turnovers are always the thing that is the difference maker.

319
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: But it's also the one thing that no matter how

320
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: much you practice it, how much you emphasize it, or

321
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: how much you don't, it's unpredictable whether your team gets

322
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: a lot of them or whether they don't. But that

323
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: is it's it's the most it correlates most towards winning

324
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: or losing. I think for me, I'd love to see

325
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: Peterman have a high completion percentage over sixty five percent.

326
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: If he can do that, I think that goes a

327
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: long way toward the team standing on the field and

328
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: converting third downs. I think if they can keep Peterman's

329
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: in completion percentage above sixty five percent, if it gets

330
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: up near what it wasn't a preseason, I think they're

331
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: gonna win the game for sure. Uh completed eighty percent

332
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: of his passes in the preseason. If he can get

333
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: close to that, yeah, I don't think there's any question

334
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: about it. And then the other thing is Joe Flacco

335
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. Joe Flacco has gotta go down

336
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: and he's got to go down hard. It's just like

337
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: how David. He's got to go down and he's gotta

338
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: go down hard. The Bills have to have to find

339
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: a pass with I don't think they I have. I

340
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: think that's the thing. It's the pass rush for the

341
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and Nate Peterman's ability to complete a high

342
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: percent of his bowls. All right, what do you think?

343
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: Give us a call? Eight three fifty toll free one

344
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty What two

345
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: things need to happen for the Bills to come out

346
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: with a win on Sunday. It's not impossible. As I said,

347
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: my brother was almost distraught. John, they got the Bills

348
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: as the lock of the week, the Bills losing. I

349
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: slapped him, I said, snap out of it. No, I

350
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: didn't do that. We're on the phone. But seriously, he

351
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: who cares what prognosticators think? Right? They don't know why

352
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: because they don't know who Nathan Peterman is. Because Nathan

353
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Peterman to them is the five interception guy last November.

354
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: I think Bills fans know he's much more than that.

355
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: That's part of his resume. But he's much more than that.

356
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: Give us a call, or you can tweet it. In

357
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: what things need to happen? Two things need to happen

358
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: for the Bills to get the win over the Ravens.

359
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: Tweet cheet Robin Munday. The defense needs to get two

360
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: turnovers and McCoy needs to run for one hundred yards.

361
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm on the same the same page with you. In

362
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: McCoy's production, haven't seen it in preseason thirteen carries in

363
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: preseason not a whole lot going on at all with

364
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: the offense in preseason. One hundred yards from Shady would

365
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: be big plus. And I talked briefly with Sean McDermott

366
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: about this this morning. The crew behind McCoy is, I

367
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: think so much better. The Bills are in so much

368
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: better shape there, Steve. You know when you think about

369
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory and Marcus Murphy than they were a year ago.

370
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: And I think the run game in general, as good

371
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: as it's been for the last few years, I think

372
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: it could be even better this year. I think one

373
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: of the things that I'm really excited about is I

374
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: just want to know what the offense is gonna look like. Yeah,

375
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Brian day Balls has been around the league

376
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's got a bunch of things

377
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: working in his favor in this game, meaning nobody knows

378
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: how he's gonna run this offense with these players at

379
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: this year he was in and he was out of

380
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: the league last year. I think that's really intriguing as

381
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: to what he sees in the Baltimore defense that he

382
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: thinks he can take advantage of, and what this and

383
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: what he's gonna ask Nathan Peterman to do what he's

384
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna have, how he's going to utilize Lashan McCoy, Charles Clay,

385
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Jason Krum, Kelvin Benjamin, Jeremy Curley. What are these guys

386
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna do? I mean, and who's gonna get the ball?

387
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: Who's going to get a lot of targets in this game?

388
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: You know? And that I think if he does work

389
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: this like and we've seen it like they tend to

390
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: come off a little bit with the same mode of

391
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: operation as the Patriots. Whatever it takes to be that defense,

392
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: that's what the Bills want to do well that week.

393
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see what he does with the

394
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: players he has and and if they can pull it off,

395
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: that's that's really interesting to me. And I think if

396
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna see it, you know, ten targets at Charles

397
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: Clay because they think that's the thing they're going to do,

398
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: or if it's ten targets at Jason Krum or Curly

399
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: or Benjamin or Shady carries it, you know, twenty five

400
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: times and catches four passes, or carries it four times

401
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: and gets twenty targets in the passing game. And I'm

402
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: really interested to see what it's gonna be like and

403
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: we don't know. I wrote a piece it's up on

404
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: the Buffalo bills dot com this morning, about six things

405
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: to watch, one of them. Just like you, I'm really

406
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: eager to see what Brian Dable's offense looks like. We

407
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: saw it now. We saw a little bit of it,

408
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: I think in the reason, especially in the Carolina game.

409
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: Think about the Carolina game and I went back and

410
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: looked at it and wrote about it. Peterman in the

411
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: Carolina game hit his first nine passage, remember that he

412
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: was nine of ten. The tenth was an interception. First

413
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: possession for Peterman in the Bill's offense, they went eighty

414
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: five yards for a touchdown, capped it off on the

415
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Colman Benjamin, and they kept the Panthers

416
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: off balance the way they were shifting formations, working in personnel,

417
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: getting to the line of scrimmage with plenty of time.

418
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: They scored on three of their four first half possessions

419
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: against Carolina, and they did it kind of kind of seamlessly, right.

420
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: They didn't. It wasn't It didn't look like it was

421
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: that tough. The way they were working. That's what I'm

422
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: looking for, That's what I hope we see this Sunday.

423
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: Is that kind of attack up tempo, not the K gun,

424
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: fast paced up tempo, but up tempo at the line

425
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, with time to take a look, a variety

426
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: of personnel combinations which they seemed to work in easily

427
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: in that first preseason game, and strong work by Nathan Peterman.

428
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm looking for in this game.

429
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: It was just good a preseason game. As we saw

430
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: all the way through the preseason. I mean, it was

431
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: it looked like the Bills offense was in total control

432
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: of that game, and it's it was refreshing, no question

433
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: about it, and it would be it would be nice

434
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: to see if they can continue that into the regular season,

435
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: particularly what you said, just getting in and out of

436
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: the huddle fast, having a lot of time on the

437
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: play clock, quick snaps of the football, the ball comes

438
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: out on time. It really looked crisp and effective and

439
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: it turned into a long touchdown drive. And but you

440
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: are going to go against a salty defense that's used

441
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: to getting a lot of turnovers, and that's going to

442
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: be crucial. I think if the Buffalo Bills, and you're right,

443
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: I think one of your Keys Murph. The Bills can't

444
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: turn it over and win this football game. Uh yeah,

445
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: one turnover, I get it, you know, a tipped pass

446
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: for a pick or something like that. But man, oh man,

447
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: if it gets into into a turnover, a turnover atmosphere

448
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: where they can't hang on to the football, it's it's

449
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna get ugly quick. More from as you would expect, Yeah,

450
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: as it should if they turn it over. More from

451
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. What two things need to happen for

452
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: the Bills to win this game on Sunday From Stephanie

453
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. From Stephanie tweet sports. The Bill's defense needs

454
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: to dominate and make opportunistic turnovers. Number one. Number two

455
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: utilize Calvin Benjamin. I hope they can turn it over.

456
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: That helps a lot in any game. I do think

457
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: they get They will use Kelvin Benjamin. They have to.

458
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: He is the number one weapon I think in the

459
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: passing game, with Charles Clay a close number two. Benjamin.

460
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: We know his strengths, right, He's a red zone target,

461
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: good hands, He's a mismatch for teams to handle. He's

462
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: not going to stretch the field, at least, you know,

463
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: not going to be a strong suit. But yeah, they

464
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: got to use him and use him where he's best,

465
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: I think in the red zone down near the goal lines. Yeah.

466
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: And then we got another one along those same lines.

467
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: Roger Bingham tweets out number one utilized tight end and

468
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: running back mismatches in the passing game. At number two,

469
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: the punter kept Ravens pen in four, keeping Ravens pen

470
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: in poor field position, so he thinks the field position

471
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: is going to be and it will be against inner.

472
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: There's a question remark though, right with a guy who

473
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: punted in an NFL We had the Orch Haz yesterday

474
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: on the show. Yeah, he's never done it. Yeah that

475
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: you know what, wouldn't it be great to see him

476
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: come out and you know, only punt like four times

477
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: obviously the whole game, but also have like a fifty

478
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: five yard average. Just light it up. That would be

479
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: so awesome. But man O Manday, what he's going through? Yeah,

480
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: holding in funny, Yeah, good for him. On the phone,

481
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: Tommy and Amhurst, Tommy, your thoughts, what do the Bills

482
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: need to do in order to get a win over

483
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens On Sunday? Mistake free quarterback play a great

484
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: defensive day and we get a win on a house

485
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: to kick. It's Tommy Gee from Amhurst Bills. Henks, Timmy,

486
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 1: where do I sign up? I'll sign up for all

487
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: of that. Look, gangs, free quarterback play, and what do

488
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: you say about the defense? Play? Good defense, dominant? Talk

489
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: about the quarterback play for a second, um, isn't it?

490
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: And look, I'm as big as Josh Allen fan as anybody,

491
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: and I'm disappointed that he's not ready to start, to

492
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: acknowledge he's not ready to start. But isn't that the

493
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: number one thing you get with Nathan Peterman as opposed

494
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen The chance, the chance anyway for a

495
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: mistake free or at least limited mistake football from the quarterback.

496
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: I really believe that. Yeah, And I think that's I

497
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: think that's the big boost that Peterman brings you. He's

498
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: going to be able to he managed. I think that

499
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: was the command of the offense and that mental toughness,

500
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: command of the mental toughness and a commanding officer. And

501
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: you know that's the one thing too, that a quarterback's

502
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: ability and to throw the football into tight windows and

503
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: defenses and all that's great, but you know what when

504
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: you got a guy that does everything right and puts

505
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: it the ball where it's supposed to be, gets everybody

506
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: lined up at least everybody else feels like they can contribute,

507
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: and if the quarterback can get the ball out on time,

508
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: you gotta feel like things are going to work out

509
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: for your favor because if you've got that guy that

510
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: manages the offense extremely well and knows the offense, commands it,

511
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: gets guys in motion, puts him in the right thing,

512
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: those matchups are going to happen because that's what the

513
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: offensive ordinator in visions, and everybody else gets better. It's

514
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: not just about the quarterback then, and that's I think

515
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: what everybody strives for. When you can get an offense

516
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: where you know you've got so many guys to worry

517
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: about in the quarterbacks just distributing the football, that's I think.

518
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: That's I think a best case scenario for the Bills.

519
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: We're all eager to see what the offense looks like.

520
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: At a brief conversation with Sean McDermott today, I asked

521
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: him the question that we've asked a lot of players

522
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: over the last several weeks. What will day Ball's offense

523
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: look like, what do you expect from day Boll's offense.

524
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 1: Sean got right to it, as all the players have

525
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: in their response. It's matchups. Day Ball will find matchups

526
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: for us. McDermott said that, and I think that's what

527
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: they're counting on. See whether it's Benjamin up against a

528
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: smaller player in the secondary, or Shady McCoy one on

529
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: one with a linebacker won't be able to stay with him,

530
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: or Logan Thomas down the middle of the field, maybe

531
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: with a smaller linebacker. I think that is the goal.

532
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: Can they get it done. We'll find out, but that

533
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: is the goal for the Buffalo offense to set up mismatches,

534
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: much like the Patriots have had success doing for a

535
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: decade and a half. And now It's one plus for

536
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: the Bills is that the Ravens are returning just about

537
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: all their defensive personnel from a year ago, so they

538
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: can go back and look at what they did against

539
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: certain looks, against certain formations, against certain personnel combinations, and

540
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: have a pretty good handle about who's going to be

541
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: on the field. So if you once you do that,

542
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 1: you can kind of come in and say, okay, if

543
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: we do this they're gonna line up like this, and

544
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: this is the matchup right here, So you can kind

545
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: of go in with a better sense of that. The Ravens,

546
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: on the other hand, can't. Now they don't know anything

547
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: about what's going to happen on the Bills offensive side

548
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: of the football, And in a regular game, when you're

549
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: going in and you're not so sure what that defense

550
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: might do, you might have to run a series or

551
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: two to find out what they're doing. You know, how

552
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: do we Okay, so that's where they're gonna play this guy,

553
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: and that's the guy. We want this guy over here

554
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: on So now we gotta run this formation, this motion,

555
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: and call this play to see if we can get

556
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: this matchup. So it might take some experimentation to find

557
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: those matchups. I think it may be easier for the

558
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: Bills in this game because Baltimore is such an intact

559
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: unit turning on defense, calling what the question what needs

560
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: to happen for the Bills to win? On Sunday in Baltimore,

561
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: Bill and Buffalo on the line with some thoughts on that. Bill,

562
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hello, Bill, are you there? Okay? Sorry? Bill?

563
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: Toby and Buffalo, what do you think? Toby? Yeah, I

564
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: think exactly kind of what you said, but a little

565
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: tweak to that where ball placement has to be only

566
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: where our receiver can catch it, so it has to

567
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: be outside shoulder or lowing away. And just make sure Peterman,

568
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't turn in a gun somethinger that

569
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: he's not. Just stay in his lane and I think

570
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: we'll do a big guy. Last night was nineteen for

571
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: thirty four, and you know, he just played it safe

572
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: and our defense is going to win the game again.

573
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: Ball placement, again, I think, is strength that you could

574
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: hang on Nathan Peterman as opposed to Josh Allen. If

575
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: you look at your reasons, why isn't Josh Hellens starting

576
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: this game? Toby had one right there. Ball placement, I

577
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: think Peterman's better at it. I believe Peterman has much

578
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: more commanded the offense and that's one of the that

579
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: is maybe the main reason why he is starting on Sunday.

580
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's what you're looking for right at this

581
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: point in the past. At this point, he's seen NFL

582
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: defenses for a year at least on film and a

583
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: little bit on the field, and he's and he's worked

584
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: very hard to improve. I mean he knew, and as

585
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: most guys do when they get out there and start

586
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: at quarterback, they go out there and once the things start,

587
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: starts flying around for real, this a little overwhelming, and

588
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: then they understand. They get to the point where they

589
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: know and understand what they don't know and they see

590
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: what they need to learn. And Nate Peterman has done that.

591
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: And now he's worked very hard in the offseason, and

592
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: by his own admission and by all accounts, that's what

593
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: he's focused on. He's really looked at trying to get

594
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: out ahead of where he was and understand what defenses

595
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: are trying to do to him before the snap. So

596
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: he's a year further down the line than Josh Allen

597
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: and presumably better to handle that stuff. We will continue

598
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: this discussion right now up until three o'clock today. What

599
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: are the Bills need to do? Maybe two things a

600
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: bill need Bills need to do to come out victorious

601
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We got a good show though it's Friday,

618
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: you back, Welcome back in Buffalo. Thanks for having me.

619
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: You feel like coming home for you a little bit?

620
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: It did. We landed yesterday. It was seventy five and Sonny,

621
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: and you know, I was telling my wife how much

622
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: I missed it, and she said, you think it'd be

623
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: different if it was a foot of snow, And I said, yeah, problem,

624
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: you won't be touching down in February when it's different

625
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: like that nine years with the Bills, and I was

626
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: thinking about this. When you first came on first round

627
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: draft pick, you were not a starter right away. Where

628
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: you did you start your first game when you were

629
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: with the Bills? Yeah, I did. I actually started at

630
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: guard right Yeah. So what was that like going into

631
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: a season as a rookie starting on the offensive land.

632
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: What was your mindset going into that game? You know,

633
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: I had some welcome to the NFL moments throughout the preseason,

634
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: which some of these guys had. In their first preseason game,

635
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: I had held out of training camp for a week

636
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: because at that time all first rounders were holding out.

637
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: So I held out a training camp for a week.

638
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: And then four days later we play in the Hall

639
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: of Fame game and I think I'm going up against

640
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: Albert Haynesworth with the Titans. Well, they put a backup

641
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: defensive end over me, so I'm thinking I'm gonna destroy

642
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: this guy. Well, he he was so fast. I didn't

643
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: touch him one play. Then we throw a pick and

644
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: my helmet gets knocked off, my shoe comes off, like, well,

645
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: we're playing with the big boys now, and so luckily

646
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: we had five preseason games. I got to get my

647
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: feet wet a little bit, so when we did start

648
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: off the season Monday night against New England, I felt

649
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: fairly comfortable at that time. But you know, it's obviously

650
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: the earlier are in your career, the more it takes

651
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: you to get into the game a little bit. You

652
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: were a stalwart on the offensive line for your entire

653
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: career here and finally at the end of the last

654
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: year when things finally got rolling. How did Field to

655
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: finally break through get in the playoffs, particularly with the

656
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 1: culture change that McDermott isn't installed. It was incredible. Couldn't

657
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: have happened to a greater group of guys last year.

658
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: The bond we had with that team, which starts with

659
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: the head coach, you know he makes He's very intentional

660
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: about getting a close team, assembling a group of guys

661
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: that have He says similar DNA, and I'm all on

662
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: board with that. I loved our group we had, and

663
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever had more fun than

664
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: being down in that locker room and celebrating making the playoffs.

665
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: And I was just so invested in it. Nine years

666
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: of living up here in Buffalo and just feeling how

667
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: thirsty this franchise and city was for a winner. It

668
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: was incredible. Heeric Steve and I talk about this a lot.

669
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: People make fun of culture, like, oh, you need players,

670
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: don't worry about culture. I think it's real. I think,

671
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: and we just saw it a couple of weeks ago.

672
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the preseason finale in Chicago,

673
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: the Bills twenty five points in the fourth quarter from

674
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: guys who, many of whom are not here anymore. But

675
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: I think it's real. Did you think that last year,

676
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: like the culture was something tangible and real that helps

677
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: this group win? I do, I absolutely do. And the

678
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: way we work in practice, the type of guys that

679
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: they bring in, the way the coaching staff works, it

680
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: shows up on film and it shows up on Sundays.

681
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: And I had many guys talk to me about and

682
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: you guys, just play a little bit harder. Your defense

683
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: is really tough because they all fly to the football

684
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: and said, well, that's not an accident. They do it

685
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: every single day and it's demanded of them. And then

686
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: you have plays like Trey White picking up that fumble

687
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: against Atlanta and running back for six. Well, a lot

688
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: of guys see that ball rolling out on the ground,

689
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: nobody's going after it and they just let it go. Well,

690
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: our culture is every time the ball gets on the ground,

691
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: someone pick it up on defense and take it back

692
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: for a score. We do it every day in practice

693
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: and it's little habits like that. Over time they pay off.

694
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm a big culture guy. You know, there's

695
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: a time in place where talent may overcome culture. You know,

696
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: I got lit up on Twitter people talking about, well

697
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: is there culture in New England? They have Tom Brady

698
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, there might be games where Tom Brady can

699
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: win it, but they also have a culture there where

700
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: people come in the building and they know what to expect.

701
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: And that's what's starting to develop here. Guys come in

702
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: as free agents and they step into the building and

703
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: they say, oh, this is the way this team works

704
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: and acts, and I'm gonna follow in line. One of

705
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: the things we talked about just a minute ago is

706
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: the high point of making the playoffs after the nine

707
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: year career, what were some of the low spots? What

708
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: are you remember and kind of thinking, like, you know,

709
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: that was a tough part of being a pro football player.

710
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about my second year. I'm coming off

711
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: a broken leg and I'm rushing back to get ready

712
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: for the season. I started off training camp practicing, wasn't ready,

713
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: sat out two weeks, tried to come back again, sat

714
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: out about another week, and then we get right into

715
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: the season. I'm hurting and we start the season oh

716
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: and eight. And it was at the bye week week

717
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: six my second year, they said, hey, we might start

718
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: rotating you in and out of the game so that

719
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: you can be fresher throughout the whole game. And as

720
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: an old lineman, you'd never want to come off the field.

721
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: And I told him, I said, if you're going to

722
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: start doing that, then just shut me down, but let

723
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: me play. And I ended up getting a quarterson shot

724
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: my ankle, feeling a little better, playing better towards the

725
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: end of the season, and ended up finishing the year

726
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: pretty strong. But I remember us being oh and eight

727
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: and hurting on a daily basis and not playing the

728
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: way I knew I could play because of my ankle

729
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: and broken leg, and man, that was a low point.

730
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: Had some other injuries that were low but man, there's

731
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: so many good times we had here, even through the losses.

732
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 1: You know, times when family would come up here and

733
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: we'd get sequestered in Buffalo for a weekend and it

734
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: feel like a little vacation, and for all of us

735
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: it was a ton of fun. With Bill's offensive lineman

736
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: Eric Wood, who retired in January, tell me, we haven't

737
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: talked to you since then. Tell us how difficult that was.

738
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: You get the call, you find out that you've got

739
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: this neck injury, and there really doesn't sound like you

740
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: had much other records. You thought that you couldn't go on, right,

741
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: you had to retire, right. Yeah, So I get the

742
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: call in January eleventh, easy day to remember because my

743
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: son was born an hour after I get the call,

744
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: which was wild, timing, emotional on many different levels. But

745
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: at the time you think, Okay, well, I appreciate that,

746
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: doctor Cappuccino, but I'm going to get some other opinions.

747
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: And it ultimately, any surgery that would have pulled the

748
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: disc off my spinal cord would have also made me

749
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: ineligible to play football because I would have never passed

750
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: a physical again, which rocked my world. I wasn't ready

751
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: to retire. I had just signed a contract before the season.

752
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: The franchise was trending up. Loved what we had going

753
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: on in this building. So it it hurt, and it

754
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: still does hurt. But I am you know, I'm an optimist.

755
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying life. I'm I'm looking forward to what's ahead.

756
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying. I'm gonna enjoy some bills, tailgates and actually

757
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: enjoy some games this year, hit some college games and

758
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: but it'll be it's a different season of life, and

759
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely a change. You're going to the game

760
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: at Baltimore this Sunday, right, Yeah, I'm gonna try and

761
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: fly under the radar there. I'll be in any shades

762
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: and a hat or something. I'm visiting buddies there. And

763
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: I was talking to my wife about it. I said,

764
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: because I got invited by one of my groomsmen in

765
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: my wed and he lives in Baltimore. He said, you

766
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: got to come in for the game. Let's do this

767
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: cheap southwest flight from a little more direct I was like, yeah,

768
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: that's how I'm getting there. Yeah, I said, well let's

769
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: do it. And I talked to my wife. I said,

770
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: do you think it's smart to the first game to attend?

771
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: And my wife's like, we're gonna have to do it

772
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: at some point, and you might as well not make

773
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: it a home game, you know, when we all go

774
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: up as a group in October, so so we'll see

775
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: how it goes. And you're just fresh out. I mean

776
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: it's been what six or eight months now, nine months

777
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about we're talking before we came

778
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: on about you know you probably in football somehow, maybe

779
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: in broadcasting, maybe in coaching would be great for you.

780
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: It's you have to find the right level. But I

781
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: think it whatever it may be, you do see, I'll

782
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: see football in your future. Yeah. I mean at this point,

783
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a PhD in football and

784
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: not much else. My buddies that have been in finance,

785
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm thirty two years old. My buddies have been in

786
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: finance for ten years and went to four years of

787
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: school for it. And my buddies that do construction management,

788
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Well, I have a PhD in football,

789
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: and I feel like I can communicate that well, whether

790
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: it's through coaching. The hours at the pro and college

791
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: level scare me off a little bit. From coaching just personally,

792
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I could be the dad and husband,

793
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: I want to be if I got into it, but

794
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: that's not to say never. If I get the h

795
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: I might try and pursue it. But in the short

796
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: term I think media type work, or I could be

797
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: involved with the game, but then still hop back into

798
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: Louisville on Saturday night, Sunday night and go back into

799
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: dad and husband. That appeals to me at this point. Yeah.

800
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: With Eric Wood Bills, a long time Bills offensive linemen

801
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo this weekend coming up for Brian Mormon's

802
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: Punk Foundation wine tasting event, and I tell us about

803
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: that you're getting You're going to get an award tonight. Yeah.

804
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: So I'm going to get an award tonight for the

805
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: work we've done helping out families in Western New York

806
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: with six children. And this is an event I've gone

807
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: to every year since I've been in the league, so

808
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: I've been nine times. This will be our tenth time attending.

809
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: I joke that they're giving me the award because they

810
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: want me to come back because I always spend a

811
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: good amount of money. I mean one year we bought

812
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: a black lab there for thirty three hundred dollars. You

813
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: can get a black lab in Kentucky for about one

814
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, right, So they want me back, So I

815
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: joke that's why. But it means a lot. It's Brian

816
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: and I foundations overlap a lot with the families that

817
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: we that we see in treat and we split a

818
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: suite in the stadium on a week to week basis,

819
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: So it means a lot coming from them. You're gonna

820
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,479
Speaker 1: go out and keep an eye in practice today as well.

821
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna check it out. And I texted coach McDermott

822
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. I said, I understand this is

823
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: a game prep week. This isn't a homecoming for me.

824
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to bug you guys, And just because

825
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: I wanted to come in with some humility and not

826
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: getting the way and he said, come on, dude, Like

827
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: we'll see a practice. Yeah, like I'll have your breakdown

828
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: at the end of practice. Break Well, yeah, i'll be

829
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: I'll be right now, I'll be heading yeah, exactly right. Yeah,

830
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: everyone gets to see that on the new embedded show.

831
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: Um but um yeah, I'm excited to check out the

832
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: squad because I didn't get to see him at all

833
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: during the spring. I'm excited to see him work. It'll

834
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: be interesting because there's a lot of new faces. I

835
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: mean is there's new many new faces that were last year.

836
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: Even this year, there's going to be a new thing,

837
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: he said, you know, trying to like they did last year,

838
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: trying to build it from scratch, and it seems to

839
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: be working absolutely, And um, you know, it seems like

840
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: they're bringing in the right group of guys again. Um,

841
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, a little up and down through the preseason,

842
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: which is to be expected, a lot of young guys

843
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: on the field. I'm excited to see what dayball brings

844
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: game plan was in Baltimore. I feel like you almost

845
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: get a touch of an edge him coming from college.

846
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: They don't know exactly what he's gonna game plan as

847
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: far as heading into this opener, and I'm excited to

848
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: see it too. They did have ups and downs that

849
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: you've been in contact with anybody Gray, I know you're

850
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: pretty close with Ryan Gray. Yeah, so I've texted a

851
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: bunch of the guys, and especially after that preseason game

852
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, you know, the sky is falling and I've

853
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: been there before. You know, we in twenty twelve, we

854
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: led the AFC in rushing yards per carry at least

855
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: mount of sacks in the league, and in the preseason

856
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: they we're talking about how bad we stunk every week.

857
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's no chip help on the edge. It's

858
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: all five or six man protections because you're trying to evaluate.

859
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: You have a three way quarterback battle, so you're throwing

860
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: the ball more than you normally would anyways. And you

861
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: combine that with a couple of legal procedure penalties rushing

862
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: into the line late on a third down where the

863
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: defense gets a beat and all of a sudden, you

864
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: give up four or five sacks, and all of a sudden,

865
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: it's a nightmare of a next week, and you get

866
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: called out day after day in the media, and you

867
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: just gotta you take it. As an offensive lineman, you

868
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: remain humble and you always get back to work. But

869
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: I think brighter day their head for that offensive line. Eric,

870
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: you stepped away in January, just a month or so

871
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: before your former teammate Richie Incognito announced that he was

872
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: the parting. If you were worried about Richie, if you

873
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: talked him much much contact with him, yeah, a little bit.

874
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: And he's going through a tough patch right now. His

875
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: dad just passed and the transition out of football is tough.

876
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: And then you combine that with you know, Jonathan Marden

877
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter earlier this offseason saying he was coming after

878
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: him and the big spat with the Jaguars in gok

879
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: Way before the Pro Bowl and leading up to all that.

880
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: It's been a tough six months for him. But you know,

881
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: he's got a great support system, a great family and

882
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: should be all right. You seem like you're ready to

883
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: watch this game Sunday and to move on. And I'm

884
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: sure you're gonna miss it, but you feel and you

885
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: sound like you're ready to accept whatever the feelings come

886
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: your way the next few months here, Yeah, for sure.

887
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: And there's times I'll be sitting on the couch at

888
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: home and it's noon and I don't have a job,

889
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: and I get some anxiety. In the last fifteen years

890
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: of my life, including college, I was trying to be

891
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: the best in the world at something day after day,

892
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: and I was very devoted to my craft. I had

893
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: coaches always joke around like that I would be doing

894
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: past sets in my dorm room when they'd do ben

895
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: check at night. But that might not be completely far

896
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: off in the truth so I was all in all

897
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: the time. So it's weird now not prepping each day

898
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: for the season and get my body right or what

899
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: am I doing mentally today? So it's different, but I

900
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: am ready for it. It was going to come to

901
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: an end at some point. It was naive for me

902
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: to probably think that I was going to walk out

903
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: of my own terms. I thought after signing that last contract,

904
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: I would have a decision after year eleven and I

905
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: could make a decision. Then it didn't work out that way,

906
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: but it's all goods. Great to see a great ya,

907
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you guys. Eric good long time Bill's

913
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: miss Sam, having him around, having his uh, I don't

914
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,960

915
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: feel that way about him too. Good people are hard

916
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: to say goodbye to, and especially when neither side wants to,

917
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: you know. And it was an unfortunate injury that led

918
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: to his retirement. And but it's good. You kind of

919
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: figure a guy like Eric Wood's gonna figure it out

920
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: and he's gonna do something. You know, he's gonna he's

921
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: gonna be great. Uh, neither in the media or coaching

922
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: or whatever he decides to do. I hate at the

923
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: one point we're talking about the future, and he said

924
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: he there are days now without football where around twelve

925
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: noon he'll be sitting at home in the counch thinking

926
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: what do I do? Now? That's I hate to hear

927
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,959
Speaker 1: that about him. He'll be fine to wait. A little

928
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: panic attack going him. I supposed to be someplace, Yeah,

929
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: And the sad truth is now you're not. Yeah, You'll

930
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: you went through that. He found something to do here

931
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: you are. Yeah. And then people on the MSG you're

932
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: watching as he out to practice date warmly greeted by

933
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy and Stephen Houshka and those guys, some of

934
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: the guys from a year ago who helped get that

935
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: team to the playoffs, and he was one of my

936
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: I think it was great. I saw Sean McDermott see

937
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: him this morning for the first time. It was really

938
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: a warm, warm greeting. It was a close knit group

939
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: last year, no doubt about it, and they accomplished something

940
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: that I hadn't been done here in a long time.

941
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna stick with these guys for

942
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: a long time. I know it was stuck with a

943
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: lot of the teams I was on back in the day,

944
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: and it's it's a cool thing to be able to

945
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: walk out onto a field or walk in any place

946
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: and see some of those guys from that team like

947
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: he did today and feel that that bond that's still there.

1056
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 1: recall tell you to too, if I don't keep track

1057
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: of it that much. I do remember the first game

1058
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: we did was in Carolina. It was a preseason game,

1059
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: and that one sticks out in my mind because I

1060
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: know you had some advice for me and it was

1061
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: well received. What was my advice? What was it? Same

1062
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: thing I always do. I talked too much? Right, My

1063
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: advice was talked more. One advice no, and the other

1064
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: advice was I kept calling. I kept saying we like.

1065
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: I kept saying we like, we did this or we

1066
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: did that. When when for the objective perspective, it can't

1067
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: be we. It's the Bills or the or the Panthers

1068
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: or the Bills or the or the Ravens, whatever the

1069
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: case may be. But yeah, and that was a point

1070
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: that I never really even thought about. Yeah, Steve listens

1071
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: to Before that, Steve Mark Kelsel listening to me, Steve,

1072
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: I was listening, No, Mark, It is exciting, though, start

1073
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: of a new season, no matter where you've been. What

1074
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: the preseason looked like, what the off season has been

1075
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: like every NFL team gets excited to begin a new season,

1076
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: do you agree, Yeah, there's no question about that. And

1077
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: that's what makes it so exciting that everybody believes going

1078
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: into the beginning of the year that they haven't opportunity

1079
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: to get to the postseason. And if you get to

1080
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: the postseason, then you have an opportunity to get to

1081
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And then that's what everybody strives for.

1082
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: That's what they play for, and they play for a

1083
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: lot of money as well. But but make no mistake

1084
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: about it, these guys they want to be good. They

1085
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 1: want to they want to play at a really high level.

1086
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 1: They want to be recognized by their peers as being

1087
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: outstanding players and and and it's awesome when you can

1088
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: put together a group of guys that can maintain consistent

1089
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: high level of performance over a long period of time.

1090
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: And there are a few teams that have been able

1091
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: to accomplish that here in recent history, and and those

1092
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: teams that's that's why so many free agents want to

1093
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: go to those teams. But it's it's exciting. The drought

1094
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: ended last year and the Bills have a lot of

1095
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: work cut out for them this year, if they expect

1096
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: to continue on that playoff run that they started last year,

1097
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: What do you expect this game to look like in

1098
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore for the Buffalo Bill's offense? Start with Well, I mean,

1099
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope we see someone when we saw

1100
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: at the beginning of that Carolina game, that preseason game.

1101
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: It's got to be if if you want to affect

1102
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: this defensive unit of Baltimore, you have got to be multipersonnel.

1103
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: You've got to move free snap, You've got to line

1104
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: up in different formations. You've got to get into a

1105
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: cluster set. You've got to get into a tight formation

1106
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: and run some quick expansion. You've got to have receivers

1107
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: in close proximity so that defensive backs have to make

1108
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: decisions about what's going to happen, if there's going to

1109
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: be a rub of some nature, or you're going to

1110
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: clear out and try to bring someone in underneath. So

1111
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: you've got to make this defensive unit think they're really strong.

1112
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: The front steven is extremely strong. So if you line

1113
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: up and just think you're going to run against them,

1114
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: I think you're solely mistaken. You've got to find ways

1115
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: to make them think hesitate them by a half a

1116
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: step and then give yourselfs an opportunity. And I do

1117
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: think there's some opportunities that exist, But I don't think

1118
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: you're going to line up in it and expect to

1119
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: beat them. I think you're going to have to move

1120
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: to it and execute with a lot of that pre

1121
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: snap movement. Obviously, you Sugs is the name guy that defense,

1122
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: and for good reason. He's a great player and has

1123
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: been for years. But I keep hearing people talk about

1124
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Williams a defensive end. What have you seen from

1125
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: him on the video and what you've seen in him

1126
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: over the years. Well, I haven't seen a lot over

1127
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: the years, but our video, I mean, these guys are

1128
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: really good. He and Michael Pierce and Irvin those guys

1129
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: use their hands. I mean this group as an entire

1130
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: group uses their hands extremely well. And Terrell Suggs does

1131
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, I think he led the team

1132
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: last year, didn't he in sacks for Baltimore? I think

1133
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: with just over ten maybe eleven sacks or something. But

1134
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: he's not quite as quick off the edge. Obviously. He's

1135
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: in the sixteenth year and has had a Hall of

1136
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: Fame career. In my opinion. But he as well as

1137
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: these other defenders, they play a fifty defense. So if

1138
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: you line up with regular personnel or twenty two backs

1139
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: in the tight end, or one back and two tight ends,

1140
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: they're going to have five guys up on the line

1141
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and they're going to defend the run. And

1142
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: those upfront blockers eat up a lot of space. And

1143
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Williams does a great job of arm extension and

1144
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 1: taken on two blockers. Both he and Michael Pierce tend

1145
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: to occupy two blockers each. And when you do that,

1146
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: you allow those guys on the back end, whether it's

1147
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: Smosely or on the thing, you know, the third year

1148
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: player out of Portland State, you allow those guys to

1149
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,280
Speaker 1: run to the football. And that's kind of the mentality

1150
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: they play with. They feel like they have corners that

1151
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: they can be isolated in man situations. And if you

1152
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: have a really good receiver, which I don't know if

1153
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: the Bills have defined himself as having a marquee guy yet,

1154
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: they'll they'll lean the safety that way. I don't suspect

1155
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: they'll do that against the Bills to start the game anyways,

1156
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: And unless one of those guys starts to have some success.

1157
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: What do you see from the linebacker? You mentioned former

1158
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: first rounder C. J. Mosley who gets Pro Bowl attention.

1159
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: Now he's he makes a lot of plays, But what

1160
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 1: do you see from him? What kind of a linebacker

1161
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: is he? Yeah, I mean, I think he's an athletic

1162
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: guy and he plays with a lot of speed. So

1163
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna line up at five to five and a

1164
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: half yards. He led the team in tackles last year.

1165
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: He's a downhill guy in the benefit that he enjoys

1166
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: as he has guys up front that they're going to

1167
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: occupy a lot of blockers. So if he takes the

1168
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: right angle of entry, which typically he does when he's

1169
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: lined up at that depth, then he's going to be

1170
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: able to make a lot of plays because he's going

1171
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: to run guy by blockers who are attempting to tie

1172
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: him up. You know, it just just passed the line

1173
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And he's got good coverage skills as well.

1174
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: And they don't bring you know, they play a lot

1175
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: of man, but they're not going to bring quite as

1176
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: much pressure as I anticipate that. I think they probably

1177
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,439
Speaker 1: will this weekend. But on the film that I watched

1178
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: the watched a couple of games from last year, and

1179
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: I watched the preseason game this year against Indianapolis, and

1180
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: not quite as much pressure as I would have expected.

1181
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: But I think part of that is because they can

1182
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: they can get a good passwatch with four guys, or

1183
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: even if they just bring the extra guy that they

1184
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 1: already have on the line of scrimmage, or sometimes they'll

1185
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: bring someone from the other side and create an overload

1186
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: situation and then step guys out on the backside and

1187
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: try to get themselves in some passing lanes. But but

1188
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be all He'll run all over the

1189
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: field and make plays. I mean, they've got a bunch

1190
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: of guys from Ella family, and they tend to have

1191
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 1: a few schools that they seem to like guys from

1192
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: and have had a lot of success with those guys.

1193
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be a tough, a

1194
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: tough road for the Bills on Sunday afternoon to try

1195
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: to manage some sustained drives and put points on the board. Yeah,

1196
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the other side of

1197
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: the football. Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense really closed

1198
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: the season last year on a high note. They got

1199
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: better and better as Joe Flacco healed up. We heard

1200
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: from Dennis Pitt at their radio analyst last year and said,

1201
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Flacco started the season with a bad

1202
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: back and it took a long time for that to

1203
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 1: heal up. But as it did, they won five of

1204
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: their last seven and had a chance to get to

1205
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs even after a poor start. So talk a

1206
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: little bit about Joe Flacco in the addition of their

1207
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 1: two receivers and their offense. Well, you know, it's kind

1208
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 1: of ironic, Steve Tacky when you talk about Joe Flacco.

1209
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he lost all three top receivers from last

1210
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: year and louding Benjamin Watson from the tight end position.

1211
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: So he's got some guys, and they brought in some

1212
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: speed and Willie Sneed from New Orleans that really underperformed

1213
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: last year but was dealing with a lot of off

1214
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: field issues and some juries at the same time. And

1215
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,399
Speaker 1: Michael Krabtree, so they brought in some weapons for him.

1216
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: They have running backs that can get the ball out

1217
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: of the backfield. Tight ends. They got a collection of

1218
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: tight ends that that I think can do some damage

1219
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, and he's a rhythm guy,

1220
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: so he needs to be in rhythm when he's getting

1221
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 1: rid of the football At two point two two point four,

1222
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: he can be really good. And against Indianapolis Man he

1223
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: launched one fifty five yards from a lot of scrimmage

1224
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: that was ultimately incomplete. It was pretty good. It was

1225
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: on target, and defensive back from Indianapolis made a pretty

1226
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: good play. So he's still got the arm strength. I

1227
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,280
Speaker 1: still I don't think he's going to throw the deep

1228
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: out all the way across the field from the far hash,

1229
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: but they're gonna spread you out laterally, but they're always

1230
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: going to have a deep option. And he dropped. He

1231
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: dropped a couple throws into the Michael crabtree in that

1232
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: Indie game too, so in a cover two situations where

1233
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: he got past the first wave of defender as the

1234
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: cornerback and in front of the safety. You know, those

1235
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: are just beautiful timing patterns, and and he dropped it

1236
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: in on a dime. So and he still got a

1237
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: lot of ability. I think if you make a move

1238
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: and you get him out of his comfort zone and

1239
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: particularly make him move to his left hand side, you

1240
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: really really limit his effectiveness. So they're going to have

1241
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: to do that, and they're gonna have to be and

1242
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I talk about this every year. You're

1243
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to have some pressure at the line of

1244
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: scrimmage because they like to throw a lot of hits

1245
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: without a lot of quick slants, a lot of double

1246
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: out patterns where they like to hit that second guy.

1247
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: So you've got to be in the face of those

1248
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: receivers and tight ends when they first leave the line

1249
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. With Mark Kelso has got the call of

1250
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: the game with me Sunday, the color analyst on the

1251
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: Bills Radio Network talking about the Bills and the Baltimore Ravens,

1252
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: Mark as Steve said, Dennis Pitta, they're color man yesterday

1253
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,919
Speaker 1: talked to us and I asked him about the role

1254
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: that Greg Roman plays in that offense. He's not the coordinator,

1255
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: but Pitta said that Roman essentially has brought in a

1256
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: new run game approach to the Ravens that is going

1257
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: to serve them well with Alex Collins and some of

1258
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,959
Speaker 1: the others. Do you see that from the preseason video,

1259
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: does it look like maybe the Bills run game from

1260
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Yeah, A little bit. I mean,

1261
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: I think the Bills sometimes they were running. We talked

1262
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: about it. I can remember talking about this with Coach

1263
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: Ryan and whether it's where they were running the old

1264
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: bob ao. So they're pulling both guards and they're not

1265
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: doing that, but sometimes they'll block down with a tight

1266
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: end and a wing back and they'll pull the on

1267
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: side tackle and the onside guard, so they're pulling two

1268
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: guys and trying to get to the edge. So they're

1269
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: gonna attack if you're gonna line up in an overfront,

1270
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,479
Speaker 1: So if they're gonna line up heavy on one side

1271
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: with an extra tight end so that we're a tight

1272
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: end and a wing let's say, and you're gonna shift

1273
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: to that side and you're gonna play heavy on that side,

1274
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to get to the back side,

1275
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: whether it's bringing the wing back around or whether it's

1276
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: just running a little counterplay back to that back side.

1277
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: And if you're going to stay in your normal position,

1278
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: then they're gonna try to run stretch to that side.

1279
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: They may block down and they may pull some inside

1280
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: guys on the same play side, so they'll pull the

1281
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: guard to the same side that you're running but they're

1282
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna do some things to load up with

1283
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: twelve personnel, I think, and try to establish a really

1284
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: good running game because again, that makes it every play

1285
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: action pass game effective, and particularly with Joe Flacco, because

1286
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of deep stop routes in fourteen fifteen

1287
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: yards stop routes that they're running because they're trying to

1288
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: push the outside edge of that cornerback. They attack that

1289
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: hip and then they come inside and they've run some

1290
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: patterns inside to remove the linebackers. Now it creates a

1291
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: really big open space in that in that territory between

1292
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: between the hashes and the numbers kind of you know,

1293
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: in that in that scene territory where Joe Flacco can

1294
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: be really effective. Well, we're just we've got this question

1295
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: that we put out on our Twitter page, Mark and

1296
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: we wanted you to address it. You're just two days

1297
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: away from the Bills regular season opener. Give us just

1298
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: two things that need to happen for the Bills to

1299
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: beat the way the Ravens. Good luck getting marked down

1300
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: to two things that didn't happen. But there's two things.

1301
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: If if there's only two things, I can say yes,

1302
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: score more point if there's only if there's only two

1303
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: things I could say, I would say guaranteed, unequivocally, they

1304
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: cannot turn the ball over. They've got to win the

1305
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: turnover battle. Not only not turn it over, they've got

1306
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: to create some some problems for this this Baltimore Raven

1307
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: offensive unit, and they'd be able to give their offensive

1308
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: unit opportunities to score in Baltimore's end. If they don't

1309
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: do that, I don't think they'll win. And I think

1310
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: they'll they'll control the ball. I mean, they're they're possession

1311
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: passing game, a lateral spread team, and a team that

1312
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: likes to control the ball. So if the Bills can't

1313
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: get off field on third down, and to me, that

1314
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: means defending the run and they and they have a

1315
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: nice collection and play action passed on first down as well.

1316
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: So if they defend the run really well on first

1317
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: down and they limit yards to let's say in the

1318
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: three so three and a half, three point seven yards

1319
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: per per completion or per run on first down, and

1320
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: they win the turnover battle, I think they have an

1321
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to win. But I don't think it's going to

1322
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: be an easy test by any means. Marks Nathan Peterman

1323
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: better equipped to lead the Bills for a victory then

1324
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: say Josh Allen might be or might have been at

1325
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: this point. I certainly believe so, and I would concur

1326
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff. I mean, he's a quick decision

1327
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: maker and that's something I think that's necessary against this group.

1328
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: They're going to do some things to try to confuse you.

1329
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: They run some great twist stunts inside as well, So

1330
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean I would assume that he's making some of

1331
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: the line calls and where they're going to be sliding

1332
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: in protection situations and making sure they're running back steps

1333
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: up in certain situations if they're bringing somebody off the edge.

1334
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: And I suspect they'll bring more pressure that I saw

1335
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: last year. And like I said, in a couple of games,

1336
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: I watched Jacksonville Pittsburgh, and I watched the preseason Indie game,

1337
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: and I would suspect that they'll bring more pressure than

1338
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: I saw in some of those games. But Pittsburgh was

1339
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: expecting a lot of pressure last year. So I mean

1340
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: they were wide open most of the game, and they

1341
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: had they had Levy on Bell lined up outside and

1342
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: that created some opportunities. And I think the Bills will

1343
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: be wise to kind of initiate some of that strategy offensively,

1344
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: because when you spread them out and you make those

1345
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: strong safeties or linebackers cover in man situations, and I

1346
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: don't think they can cover Lashawn McCoy or or or

1347
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Murphy or Chris Ivory and those situations when they're

1348
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: out on the edge of the field. Hey, Mark, thanks

1349
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: for this. We'll see you down there tomorrow. Thank you

Speaker 1: What have I done to my life? It's my head.

1363
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I think it's my thirty. Maybe it's my thirty second

1364
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: year player and broadcaster. Wow, eighty six of the Bills.

Speaker 1: of November, I think in eighty six. And weren't you

1367
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: here then? Weren't you doing? Yeah? Man, yeah, I missed

1368
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: two seasons though. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you were doing

1369
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: the TV thing. Yeah. I just had other stuff to do,

1370
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: more important things right as you guys are going to

1371
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: force consective. Hey, the injury report is out for the

1372
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: Bills game now. Ray Ray McLeod is out. Bill's rookie

1373
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver Ray Ray McLoud, who suffered the knee injury

1374
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: a week or two ago. He is out. I think

1375
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: he got hurt in Chicago, right, Yeah. He will not

1376
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: play this Sunday. He has listed as out. Did not

1377
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: practice today. Julian Stanford, who got injured in the Cincinnati

1378
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: game a couple of sundays ago with a nose I

1379
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: believe it broken nose. He is listed as questionable. He

1380
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: got limited work in today at practice and listed as

1381
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: questionable for Sunday's game. Everybody else is good, um, which

1382
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: is good. Kyle Williams good to go. Never showed up

1383
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: on the injury report today, which means he did not

1384
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: miss any practice time due to injury. Trent Murphy were

1385
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: I was worried about him. I would say a week ago,

1386
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: ten days ago, I thought, this guy, where are we

1387
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: going with him? He's good, practice all week, healthy, ready

1388
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: to go. Those are those are really good. If he's

1389
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: been on the steady climb from you know, not doing

1390
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: anything to doing work on the side, to being limited

1391
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: in practice, to warming up for the games and not

1392
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: playing to practicing full, so you know, you think he's

1393
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: he's progressed. It's been a steady climb for him, steady progression.

1394
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see if it's uh, it's going to end

1395
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: up in a full game for him. Pitch County, pitch

1396
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: count rights, which is I think a smart way to go.

1397
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: They've got enough guys, they're all healthy, they've got enough

1398
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: guys to cover for a guy on a pitch count.

1399
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: He can come in and contribute without having to carry

1400
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: a full load. That's good. Get him in there, let's

1401
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: see what he can do. UM, we want to know

1402
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this game in particular, and Mark kept

1403
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: it to two. I was impressed. Mark Kelso kept it

1404
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: to two things that Mark Kelso things as well, one

1405
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: as the turnover there. But then he said, I'm thinking

1406
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: a three point five three point seven yards per play

1407
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: on first down. That's pretty technical, dude. Yeah, can't give

1408
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: me something more simple than that, because I can't really

1409
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: look at the screen and know if they got four

1410
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: yards on that player of three and a half. What

1411
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: two things need to happen for the Bills to get

1412
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: a win over the Ravens on Sunday. Give us a call,

1413
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: let us know what you think. Eight oh three five

1414
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

1415
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,959
Speaker 1: five fifty two things that you see need to happen

1416
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: for the Bills to come out on top. From the

1417
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: tweet sheet and answer to this question from Tiffany Daniels. First,

1418
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: she says the offensive line has to hold its own,

1419
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 1: protecting the quarterback, giving him time in the pocket. Kelso

1420
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: talked about that he anticipates more pressure coming from Baltimore. Second,

1421
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: she says, the offense needs to be creative, creating mismatches

1422
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: using the size and athleticism of our receivers. They need

1423
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: to convert on third down, keeping drives alive limiting three

1424
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: and outs. That's pretty good. I'll go with that. Yeah,

1425
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: that is it is good. That was a really good one.

1426
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: That Yeah, And then of course then the same thing

1427
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: along from Joshua on the tweet sheet. Number one, the

1428
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: old line has to performed well enough and number two,

1429
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: day Ball keep Peterman using the middle of the field

1430
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: or deep, not using the flats where Peterman lacks the

1431
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: ball speed to get it there. We've seen that in

1432
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: the preseason and that's kind of been the the criticism

1433
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 1: of Peterman throughout the preseason when when people think about

1434
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 1: the passes it almost got picked off and the ones

1435
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: who did get picked that did get picked off, and

1436
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: he seems to have struggled to get it to the

1437
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: wide side of the field quickly enough for to keep

1438
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: a defender from breaking on it. So people are starting

1439
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: to chime in on that. But I think a lot

1440
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: of this boils down to the offensive line and day

1441
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Bowles ability to get Peterman comfortable in the pocket and

1442
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 1: getting rid of the ball quick. Yeah. I think the

1443
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: ball's coming out. He's got to know the he's got

1444
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 1: to know the matchup he's looking for. He's got to

1445
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: have the patients even on a quick release to look

1446
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: one way, come back and snap throw it to the

1447
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: right guy in the right spot when they win the matchup.

1448
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: So it's a lot to do, and Baltimore is a

1449
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: difficult team to beat, so it'll be uh, there's no

1450
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: doubt going on the road in Week one. I guess

1451
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: the team like Baltimore that seems to be to have

1452
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: pretty high expectations for the season, you gotta saddle up

1453
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: and go. It's it's gonna be a rough game. It's

1454
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: been two weeks since the Bill's regulars played, right, they

1455
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 1: played in the game at home against Cincinnati a couple

1456
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: of sundays ago. McDermott was asked kind of an interesting

1457
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: question today. Is there rust for his team? They haven't

1458
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: played in a couple of weeks, they didn't play in

1459
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: the preseason finale in Chicago. Does he think that overcoming rust,

1460
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean not played in a couple of weeks will

1461
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: be a factor. Here's what the head coach had to

1462
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: say every year, I think, which is seeing in the

1463
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: first games. Are are some things that you alluded to,

1464
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Matt with penalties. You saw some of that last night.

1465
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Fundamentals either really good fundamentals or subpar fundamentals. So we

1466
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking and hopefully working in

1467
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: those areas to make sure that we're doing things the

1468
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: right way all the time, let alone in this case

1469
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: early in the season, the sort of kind of almost

1470
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: surrendered to the idea that even though it's the regular season,

1471
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: in many ways it kind of feels like an extension

1472
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 1: of training camp that's always talked about and always build.

1473
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Belichick maybe kind of treats these first quarters of the season,

1474
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: this first quarter season that way in your mind, is

1475
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 1: is it kind of that even though obviously there's much

1476
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 1: more stake. Well, you know, look, we want to play

1477
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: good football all the time. That's said, there is a

1478
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: there is a continual improvement type of mindset that you know,

1479
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: we may not be where where we want to be

1480
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: right away, but we have to continue to improve and

1481
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,440
Speaker 1: if we whether we get good results or bad results,

1482
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: it's it's a mindset of of continuous improvement from from

1483
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 1: day to day to day. And that's that's true in

1484
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 1: every area of our building that we have to continue

1485
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: to grow, continue to learn, continue to get better. Um,

1486
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: it's the same with our players. Sean McDermot speaking this

1487
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: morning before practice. You know, I don't like to think

1488
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: of it in terms of, well this, you know, it's

1489
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: first game, so you'll be rusty, and maybe some of

1490
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: the mistakes you see today you can excuse. I don't

1491
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: like to think of it in those terms, but I

1492
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: think that's real and especially and Sean brought it up

1493
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: last night's game. I only watched the first half last night.

1494
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,799
Speaker 1: It was a mess. I think it was like sixteen

1495
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: penalties combined in two hundred and thirty two yards and

1496
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: penalties last nights keeps to watch just awful. They had

1497
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 1: more offensive, they had more yards and penalties. Both teams

1498
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: had more yards and penalties in the Philadelphi Eagles did offensive.

1499
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: I gave up at halftime, and they win the game.

1500
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: I give up at halftime. I don't want to watch

1501
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: a bad game like that. It was rough. It was

1502
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: like your typical Thursday night game. You know, it's not

1503
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: supposed to be that way for the opener, but it

1504
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: was bad. I'm gonna do. I mean, that's some games

1505
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: pop out like that, you know they do. That's some

1506
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: teams get into a run and they and the officiating

1507
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: is on a different page than the players, and you

1508
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 1: look back at the And I heard somebody say this

1509
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: this morning on a on a program that you know,

1510
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: last year's Super Bowl. I mean, it seems like holding

1511
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: was allowed, you know, they weren't calling that, you know,

1512
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,839
Speaker 1: and it was happening all the time. So the season's

1513
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: going to evolve, and so are the officials, and we'll

1514
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: see what happens. But it's up to the players to

1515
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: adapt during the game, whatever game it may be, whether

1516
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: it's game one, week one or week seventeen, they've got

1517
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: to they've got to do the best they can and

1518
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: understand what's going to be called and more importantly for them,

1519
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: what's not going to be called. All Right, we're gonna

1520
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: make a call to Great co Sell in the next

1530
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: Happy to have great co sell in the line with us. Hi, Greg,

1531
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: John Murphy, and Steve up here in Buffalo. Thanks for

1532
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 1: joining us, Murph, Steve, what's happening today? Is we get

1533
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 1: ready for a week one? I'm pretty pumped. Yeah, we're

1534
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: pumped as well. You know, I don't know if you've

1535
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: heard about it, but we got this guy, Nate Peterman

1536
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: who's going to start at quarterback. What are your thoughts

1537
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: on starting? I mean, from up here from the people

1538
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. He earned it. I mean, if there was

1539
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 1: really was a competition, there's no doubt that Nathan Peterman

1540
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 1: was the guy who won it. Well, I guess the

1541
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: AJ McCarney or didn't last very long. No, I think

1542
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: it's the right move, And we kind of talked about

1543
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: this a little last week where I suggested that it

1544
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: would probably make the most sense given the difficult nature

1545
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: of their early season schedule on the number of road games,

1546
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,759
Speaker 1: Not that Peterman is a veteran in a strict sense,

1547
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: but I think it makes more sense putting him out

1548
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,839
Speaker 1: there at this point against that demanding early season schedule.

1549
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you know Greg. When he talked about the

1550
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: move on Monday, Sean McDermott listed two things that went

1551
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: into his defectored into his decision. He said, number one

1552
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 1: Peterman's mental toughness and number two of his command of

1553
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,839
Speaker 1: the offense. I think he spot out. I think Peterman's

1554
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: command of the offense is probably what was the difference

1555
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: here when it came to Josh versus Nathan. What do

1556
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: you think? I agree, and I think that showed up

1557
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 1: when you watch Peterman in college as well. I think

1558
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 1: he's a kid with a real good feel for the

1559
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 1: offensive concepts. I think he has a good sense of

1560
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: the rhythm of the past game. And make no mistake,

1561
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: this is not going to be a past first team.

1562
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: They don't want Nathan Peterman to drop back forty or

1563
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 1: forty five times. Hopefully the game doesn't turn out that

1564
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: way because that's not the way the Bills want to

1565
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: play or need to play. But I think in an

1566
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: ideal world, my guess is, you know, and again I'm

1567
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 1: not a numbers guy per se, but if the game

1568
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: played out where Nathan Peterman could be eighteen for twenty

1569
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 1: six for one hundred and ninety yards, not turn the

1570
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 1: ball over at all, and they could run for one

1571
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 1: forty or one fifty. They would see that as I

1572
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: think the way they'd like their offense to be. Yeah,

1573
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the run game with the

1574
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, who was you know, as as usuals kept

1575
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: pretty much under wraps for the preseason. We didn't even

1576
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: get a chance to see really Chris Ivory at all either,

1577
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: although he's the number two running back. We got a

1578
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 1: lot of Marcus Murphy, who really wild a lot of

1579
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: Bills fans. So you know, those three runners seem to

1580
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: be a pretty good compliment if they can take the

1581
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: pressure off Nathan Peterman. Well, what's going to interest me, Steve,

1582
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: is how they choose to run the ball, because I'm

1583
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: anxious to see if they run it out of base

1584
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: personnel meeting they might go with two tight or put

1585
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Patrick de Marco on the field, because I think one

1586
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 1: of the things about the Ravens defense is when they're

1587
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: playing in their base personnel defense, they've got a lot

1588
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,759
Speaker 1: of big, physical run stuffers in the middle of their defense.

1589
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: Guys like Michael Pierce. And one area in which I

1590
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: think that the Bills I think need to be better

1591
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: is the interior of their old line needs to play better.

1592
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:05,759
Speaker 1: And it's just not a super athletic group. That won't change,

1593
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: but they can execute better or will the Bills choose

1594
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: to go with three wide receivers and run the ball

1595
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: that way and theoretically try to create more gaps against

1596
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: a Ravens defense that's then likely to be in their

1597
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 1: sub nickel package. So I think that's one of the

1598
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 1: intriguing things to me in how Buffalo chooses to run

1599
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: the ball. Greg. We've spent a lot of time, Steve

1600
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: and I have this preseason trying to determine what Brian

1601
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: Dabo's offense might look like. When you ask players and

1602
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: even you know, even asked to Sean McDermot about it

1603
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 1: this morning, they say that Dable focuses on matchups. Everybody

1604
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:41,719
Speaker 1: does that, though, right, or do you think there's something

1605
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: different at play here for Brian Davis. Well, look, Steve

1606
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: knows this. There. I think there's two ways in the

1607
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: past game in particular, Yes, matchups come into play in

1608
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 1: every game to some degree, but there's relativity to that

1609
01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: Some coaches focus more on pass game concept and schemes

1610
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: to help players get open. Others believe that, hey, you

1611
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: know what, it's a matchup game. My receiver has to

1612
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: win at sooner or later. He's got to win one

1613
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 1: on one along the line, and that's the way we'll

1614
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: design it, and our guys have to win. So maybe

1615
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 1: Brian dables more along those lines. I don't. I ken't

1616
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: didn't study Alabama in that kind of detail to know

1617
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: exactly how he sees it. Plus that's college football, so

1618
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: maybe he feels that, hey, guys like Calvin Benjamin, you

1619
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: got to line him up on the outside and he's

1620
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,640
Speaker 1: got to win. As there we've see. We saw a

1621
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: little bit of this in the Carolina preseason game from Buffalo.

1622
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: They ran out maybe in twenty plays, they ran out

1623
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: twelve different personnel combinations and shifted and motioned before every

1624
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:48,280
Speaker 1: snap and did a lot of at the line adjustments.

1625
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: Does that give them or does that point toward of

1626
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 1: an ability to be flexible and say, hey, if you're

1627
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: if the guy we want to go after is over here,

1628
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: we can put whoever we want and manipulate your defense

1629
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 1: to get a matchup we want. Yeah, and I think

1630
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: that's critical, Steve, because to me, there's no such thing

1631
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: as window dressing. Every movement or shift, motion or shift

1632
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: gives you information about the defense. So it's what we

1633
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: call indicator formations. You know, every time you move, the

1634
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: defense either doesn't move at all, which tells you something,

1635
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: or they move, which also tells you something. So there's

1636
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: no such thing as window dressing. And I think it

1637
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: helps an offense to be able to do that. Now,

1638
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: every quarterback is different. I remember watching Peyton Manning for years.

1639
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: He didn't want anybody to move once he got to

1640
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage because he didn't want the defense

1641
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 1: to move. So, you know, but I think that theoretically

1642
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,719
Speaker 1: it can really help you in getting a feel before

1643
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 1: the snap of the ball about the defense because when all,

1644
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 1: when all is said and done, what are you trying

1645
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: to do for your quarterback? You're trying to give him

1646
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: as many answers to the test before the snap of

1647
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: the ball around the subway. First, take highline with Great

1648
01:16:56,560 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: co Sel, analyst executive producer for NFL matchup on es End.

1649
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Let's look at the Ravens on the offense for a second. Greg,

1650
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 1: You know, the easy analysis is, you know, Joe Flacco's

1651
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: lost a lot. You know, it's five six years since

1652
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: his Super Bowl MVP year, But where is he now?

1653
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: And what did you see at the end of last

1654
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: year about Flacco that makes you think that this guy

1655
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: might be ready to pick up where he left off.

1656
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: You know, I think prior to the fact that of

1657
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: them keeping Marty Mourning rig for a second consecutive year,

1658
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: he had a ton of offensive coordinators over the last

1659
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: five years or so, I don't know the number, but

1660
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: they were constantly changing. I don't think that helps any quarterback,

1661
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 1: no matter how many years you've played in the league.

1662
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 1: So there hasn't been a lot of continuity and stability.

1663
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,719
Speaker 1: I don't think he felt real comfortable with his wide outs.

1664
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: And Joe at his core is a pocket quarterback. So

1665
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: if he's not comfortable throwing to his wide outs, what

1666
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 1: do you do? You check it down? And he checked

1667
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: it down so much. I mean, his yards per attempt

1668
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: was probably among the worst in the league over the

1669
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: last couple of years. On paper, they have a good

1670
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: receiving core. Now they have all the dimensions. They have

1671
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: John Brown who can get vertical, They have crabt who's

1672
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: a very good short, intermediate, competitive toughness receiver. They have

1673
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: Willie Snead, who two years ago in New Orleans looked

1674
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: like he was an up and coming slot receiver. So

1675
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: they have tight ends. Obviously, Hayden hurstwill not play in

1676
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: this game, but they still have some tight ends who

1677
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: are worthy receivers. So they seem to have a lot

1678
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 1: more at the receiver position. Now, the question is does

1679
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: Flacco feel more confident and more comfortable because he still

1680
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: has a good arm and he can drive the ball

1681
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:33,680
Speaker 1: at the intermediate and deeper levels. Yeah, So they're a

1682
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: little bit more like teams who the same coaching staff,

1683
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: different players for Joe Flacco to throw to same offense,

1684
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: which might be a little bit of a rejuvenation for him.

1685
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: And we also found out yesterday when we spoke to

1686
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: Dennis Pitt, of their radio analyst and a former player

1687
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 1: for them, Joe Flacco was struggling with a back injury

1688
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: through most of them last year. And if I don't

1689
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: know how you throw a football with a back injury, no,

1690
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 1: And I know for a fact that Pitt and Joe

1691
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: are pretty good friends, so Dennis knows of where he speaks. Yeah,

1692
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: I think that for a lot of people that there

1693
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: was a sense of people close to Flacco believing he

1694
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't even have played last year, and he did

1695
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: so maybe he just couldn't turn it loose the way

1696
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: he wanted to, and that was also resulting in the

1697
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: fact that he threw a ton of checkdowns because Joe

1698
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: earlier in his career. You know, say what you want

1699
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: about Joe, and I know for some people the narratives

1700
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 1: already been written and they don't like him. But earlier

1701
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: in his career, Joe was a willing thrower. He was

1702
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,600
Speaker 1: a turn it loose guy. I mean, he tried to

1703
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 1: stick the ball into tight windows and he was capable

1704
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: of doing that. You haven't seen much of that over

1705
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, Greg, Did the Ravens have

1706
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: a role for their rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson? Do you

1707
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: anticipate he'll see the field in this game? Boy, that's

1708
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: a fascinating question. I mean, I can speculate, like you

1709
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: can speculate. I'm not a believer in that personally, Like

1710
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take Joe Flacco off the field. I mean,

1711
01:19:57,920 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 1: I guess if you get in the red zone and

1712
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 1: you feel quarterback movement, where a quarterback movement can really

1713
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: be a factor. I guess I could see that maybe

1714
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: that's where they would have a role, but I would

1715
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: just hate to, let's say, on third and three from

1716
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: the fifty yard line, take my starting quarterback off the field. Yeah,

1717
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 1: I hear you. Yeah. I want to get your thought

1718
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: on last night's game, and in particular, Greg, the performance

1719
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: of Nick Foles. There were concerns about him in preseason.

1720
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: I would think those concerns did not go away based

1721
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: on the way he was thrown it yesterday. What do

1722
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: you think? No, And I think you saw by the

1723
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 1: way the Eagles played, quite honestly. And I've always been

1724
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 1: a believer that you can tell how a coaching staff

1725
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,680
Speaker 1: feels about their quarterback by what they do. And I

1726
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 1: think they were trying to just get through this game

1727
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: with Nick. I mean, if I'm not mistaken, he completed

1728
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 1: nineteen passes for a hundred yards. They you almost have

1729
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,600
Speaker 1: to try to do that. I think they were just

1730
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: trying to keep the game under control, not turn it

1731
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: over play to their defense, run the ball, you know.

1732
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: I don't think they were asking Nick Foles to really

1733
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: do a lot in last night's game, and I think

1734
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: one of the things, what did you make anything about

1735
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: the two hundred and thirty six yards and penalties that

1736
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 1: were called? Is that? Please tell me you don't think

1737
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 1: that's going to be a trend. You know. It's funny, Steve,

1738
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: you say that. I was over at the Eagles at

1739
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: their Novocare Center because I do some work, you know,

1740
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 1: for Eagles dot com, and and I was talking to

1741
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: one of one of the guys that I was saying,

1742
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, you can't have it both ways. You can't

1743
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: bitch and moan about players not you know that he

1744
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't play players in the preseason because they might get hurt,

1745
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 1: and then bitch and moan about sloppy play week one.

1746
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the two kind of go together, you know.

1747
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying every game on Sunday will be

1748
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: like that, but you know, there's cohesiveness, you know, Steve,

1749
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,719
Speaker 1: you know this, there's cohesiveness at it at a lot

1750
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,280
Speaker 1: of positions and a lot of position groups that if

1751
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: you're not actually playing football, it's hard to develop that.

1752
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 1: Should the Falcons be worried about Matt Ryan, or maybe

1753
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: more specifically about Matt Ryan and their offense in the

1754
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,839
Speaker 1: red zone. What do you think, Greg, Well, they've struggled

1755
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Um, I thought they had some

1756
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 1: good kinds steps on some plays that just they did

1757
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: not execute well for a number of reasons. I think

1758
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: their old line is a little bit of a concern.

1759
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Quite honestly, it's not a strength and pass protection at

1760
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: this point. It's probably a mid level O line at best.

1761
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: They happen to get Week one on the road, a

1762
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 1: matchup against a really good pass rush, so it just

1763
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: was not theoretically just not a good matchup for them.

1764
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: And I think that Matt Ryan was impacted by that.

1765
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 1: And I think he's a guy who's a bit of

1766
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 1: a strider as a thrower. He needs some room in

1767
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 1: the pocket and I think he felt confined and squeezed

1768
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: a lot and there were a number of throws where

1769
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: the ball didn't come out great. Well. Speaking of matchups,

1770
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: your show NFL matchup coming up this weekend Tomorrow and Sunday,

1771

1773
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: there's a number of good games there's used to New England,

1774
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Minnesota's fascinating Caroline and Dallas, Jacksonville Giants, Green

1775
01:22:55,560 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: Bay and Chicago now with Khalil macdre that. Chicago, to

1776
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 1: me is a fascinating team on both sides of the ball.

1777
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting they'll be thirteen and three, but I

1778
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: think for someone who loves the tactics of the game,

1779
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 1: I think they're fascinating on both sides of the ball.

1780
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: We'll be watching, Greg. Thank you for this. We appreciate it.

Speaker 1: thirty am on ESPN two Sunday six thirty pm or

1784
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 1: six thirty am rather on ESPN. NFL Matchup. Greg is

1785
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 1: a analyst on that show. Executive producer our buddy Matt

1786
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: Bowen is on that show. It's a great way. I'll

1787
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 1: tell you what. When the Bills play roadies like this

1788
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: week road games, and that's usually the way my Sunday starts.

1789
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: Get up at six thirty watch that shows. It's it's great.

1790
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: Gets you're ready from the rest of the league. Yeah, exactly,

1791
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: And because we you know you have your nose on

1792
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: the grindstone, thinking about your the games that you're doing.

1793
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: You really don't raise up and look around the league

1794
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: very much when you're kind of focused in on one game.

1795
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:56,679
Speaker 1: And shows like that really help because they fly around

1796
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: the league, and some of the pregame shows do a

1797
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: better job of than others. But to fly around the

1798
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: league and catch all those games and get a little

1799
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 1: insight into him, there's a lot of fun. All Right,

1800
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We're back with more. Steve

1801
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:08,640
Speaker 1: and I have predictions coming up for this season for

1802
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: the Bills and maybe even the Super Bowl. We'll talk

1803
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 1: about that when we return. One Bill's Live from One

1804

1806
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 1: make it? Go? Ahead? Start looking back the show. That's

1807

Speaker 1: gonna be playing this weekend. Bills and Ravens are gonna

1809
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: be playing in Baltimore. We've been talking about it all day,

1810
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,639
Speaker 1: We've been talking about it for like six months. Yeah,

1811
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: and it's finally here. We just got off the phone

1812
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: with Greg Cosell, who is the executive producer of NFL

1813
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 1: matchup which goes down they've got. It's always interesting to see,

1814
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: you know, there's a national media who you know, they

1815
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of parachute by and they kind of do the

1816
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: tip top highlights of what every team goes through, and

1817
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of the identity they give to the teams.

1818
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 1: Greg go Sell is a little different. He kind of

1819
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: gets down and studies some nuts and bolts about what's

1820
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:17,680
Speaker 1: going on with the club. Now. He may not know

1821
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 1: the ins and outs or why they get the guys

1822
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:21,679
Speaker 1: they've got, but he does know what they do once

1823
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: they get on the field. It's interesting to talk to him.

1824
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 1: He had some good insights about Nathan Peterman and the

1825
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: Bills and the Baltimore matchup. He sure did. I wish

1826
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 1: the Bills were home this Sunday. I can wait for

1827
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: a week. But you know what, that's Baltimore is one

1828
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: of the better and you can speak to this, I

1829
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: believe one of the better road venues for us for

1830
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: me in which to work. I mean, it's first of all,

1831
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: it's close, it's you know, less than an hour flight away,

1832
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: quick flight, quick flight there and back, and it's just

1833
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 1: it's just a good stadium. It's a very functional, modern

1834
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 1: new stadium, great site lines for broadcasters like me and you.

1835
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: You're on the sidelines, plenty of room on the sidelines, right.

1836
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: It's one of the best places to work. It's a

1837
01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: great stadium. It's one of the stadiums good fans. It's

1838
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: pretty easy in and out traffic wise, and all the

1839
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,679
Speaker 1: logistical stuff. It's it's a nice it's a modern news.

1840
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 1: It's one of those one it was built. It was

1841
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: like one of those stadiums that, Wow, every one of

1842
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: these stadiums is nicer than the last one they built,

1843
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: you know it was, and they really did a great

1844
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: job with it. It's got its own unique style, all

1845
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: the amenities that I think. The concourses are great. I mean,

1846
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 1: it's it is a good place to go. It's a

1847
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: nice place to go see a game, even I think

1848
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: for a visiting team, because you know, it's not you know,

1849
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: you don't feel unsafe. It's not like the old LA

1850
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 1: Coliseum we used to go to. Oh please, hey, let's

1851
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the NFL and the Bill season. First, Steve,

1852
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 1: we got time here to give our predictions, and we

1853
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: want to hear yours too. We want to get back

1854
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: to to our topic about what two things need to

1855
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: happen if the Bills are going to win this game

1856
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday, But what about the Bill season. Well, let's

1857
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: start with this Sunday Bills win, lose. Steve, I'm gonna

1858
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 1: have them losing in a close one and it breaks

1859
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: my heart to say it, but I think Ravens will

1860
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: beat the Bills like seventeen to fourteen on Sunday. What

1861
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: do you think it's like about the game two years

1862
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 1: ago when they can Yeah, that was thirteen thirteen seven.

1863
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 1: Kind of really, I think it might. I think it

1864
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 1: might be like that. Yeah, but I think the Buffalo

1865
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:08,719
Speaker 1: I think the Bills can win this game. In fact,

1866
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the games in the

1867
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: first month of the season where you look at and say,

1868
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 1: I think they've got a chance, because I do. I

1869
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: do have a lot of faith in the defense. I

1870
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: do have a lot of faith in the fact that

1871
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 1: nobody knows what this team's gonna look like. I think

1872
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: the Bills coaching staff knows more about the Ravens offense

1873
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: and defense than the Ravens know about the Bills offense

1874
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 1: and defense. I think it gives them an edge. I

1875
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 1: think the Bills defense is much more talented than people

1876
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: are given it credit for. And I think it's going

1877
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 1: to be just the reverse of what you said. I

1878
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: think the Bills win it in a close one. What

1879
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: about the season, Um, again, it's painful, but I do

1880
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: think I don't think the Bills are going to be

1881
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 1: able to get back to the playoffs, at least at

1882
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: this stage. And I think they're gonna win six or

1883
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: seven games. I got them six and ten, seven and

1884
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 1: nine this season, which isn't that far away from where

1885
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 1: they were a year ago, but it is a step back.

1886
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: Acknowledge that, and I hope I'm wrong about that. I

1887
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be better than they were. I think

1888
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna be just the op I'm flip flo up

1889
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 1: your numbers. Anything goes seven and nine and seven, eight

1890
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:05,640
Speaker 1: and eight, nine to seven, maybe ten and six. I

1891
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:07,600
Speaker 1: think they can even almost get to ten wins. And

1892
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 1: I've I've gone down the list of teams, and we

1893
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: always do this where you go down and you think

1894
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 1: that everybody else's team is going to be the same

1895
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 1: as it was last year, and ours is all this

1896
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: much better. You know you're gonna be better, So I

1897
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, doing that I and I do. I put

1898
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: them I put them at ten and six best case scenario.

1899
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: And then there's always those two or three games in

1900
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 1: there where you always kind of think it's a coin

1901
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: flip as to whether you can win or lose. And

1902
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 1: depending on how those go, they could they could be

1903
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 1: down to eight and eight, nine and seven and bow.

1904
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:38,120
Speaker 1: Who do you got in the Super Bowl this year?

1905
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:42,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be. I was gonna say the

1906
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 1: Rams because of all the things they've done, and then

1907
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 1: I look at their coach and their offense, and I

1908
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,519
Speaker 1: like them, and I'm now I'm talking about this. Even

1909
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,759
Speaker 1: as I'm talking, I'm talking myself back into the Rams.

1910
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,519
Speaker 1: But it's never worked. I mean, they went out and

1911
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 1: they got they got Patrick Peterson, they got to keep

1912
01:28:57,840 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 1: to leave, they got in Dominican Sue, they got all

1913
01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 1: the and they already have Aaron Donald. They got some guys.

1914
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they got some real guys out there in

1915
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: n LA. Plus their offense is was unbelievably productive last

1916
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 1: year with Todd Gurley. They got They're really I'm not

1917
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 1: gonna pick them, though I think that I'm gonna pick.

1918
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Philadelphia Eagles to go back and

1919
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 1: represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. I think the

1920
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna get back who they're gonna be. I

1921
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:32,680
Speaker 1: think they will beat I think they're gonna have to

1922
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 1: beat a team of the likes of I'm thinking like

1923
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:38,760
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think it's gonna be an all

1924
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 1: phil at all Pennsylvania Super Bowl this year. I got

1925
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 1: the Saints out of the NFC. I thought they were

1926
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 1: that good last year and a flukey player knocked him

1927
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs last year. I got the Saints

1928
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 1: winning the AFC. I've got the Chargers winning or the

1929
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 1: Saints winning the NFC, the Chargers winning the AFC. I

1930
01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 1: know that's kind of a reach for many people. I

1931
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: just think they're set up to do this. I got

1932
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,160
Speaker 1: the Saints winning the Super Bowl over the lahar I

1933
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:01,360
Speaker 1: think it'd be a lot of fun. I like both

1934
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 1: those teams. Yeah, the Saints are a lot of fun

1935
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 1: to watch. Drew Brees is a quarterback unlike we've seen

1936
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 1: in recent history. You can say what you want about

1937
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, you can say what you want about Peyton Manning,

1938
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. Drew Brees is in and of himself a

1939
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 1: unique guy. The way he plays it, the way he

1940
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 1: makes decisions, the way he releases the football, his longevity.

1941
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 1: He's not a big guy. He's not one of those

1942
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 1: prototypical quarterbacks, and I saw him transform himself for in

1943
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 1: his career into the guy we see now thrown from

1944
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 1: close to five thousand yards this season. He is. He's

1945
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 1: a fun guy to watch, and he's on a you know,

1946
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 1: head on a collision with the Hall of Fame. He's

1947
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 1: had that kind of career, so he is and he

1948
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:45,880
Speaker 1: makes them fun. Our brief predictions for the Bills and

1949
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:47,640
Speaker 1: for the season will take yours in the third and

1950
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 1: final hour of the show. Also two things that need

1951
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: to happen for the Bills to win this game on

1952
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,559
Speaker 1: Sunday in Baltimore. We'll talk about that. We got another

Speaker 1: and linebacker Julian Stanford limited in practice today with his nose.

1970
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 1: He is listed as questionable. Bill's Baltimore Sunday had one

1976
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 1: went down last night, but returned to the game and

1977
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 1: what looked to be a minor injury at an MRI

1978
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 1: today and it turns up it turns out he had

1979
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 1: as a torn eightcl So they've lost their starting safety

1980
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 1: Kean O'Neill in Atlanta. Eagles won that game last night,

1981
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 1: eighteen to twelve over Atlanta, and the Eagles still playing

1982
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,560
Speaker 1: without some of their key offensive performers. Carson Wentz the

1983
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 1: quarterbacks still appeared to be a few weeks away from

1984
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 1: returning to action. Also wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey, who says

1985
01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:34,920

01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 1: faces up to twenty five years in prison. Signed a

1992
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 1: one year contract with the Browns in June after winning

1993
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with the Eagles last year. He used

1994
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 1: tips to make about one point two million dollars in

1995
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,599
Speaker 1: illegal profits on four major trading deals. The Browns released

1996
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 1: him from the team in August after the charges were filed,

1997

Speaker 1: Lowdown with Lorenzo Alexander, John Murphy, Steve Tasker and Bill's linebacker.

2002
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:33,599
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, what are you laughing about that? I've been

2003
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:35,200
Speaker 1: trying to get that done for two years since you

2004
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: started coming on with us. Now that's how that's how

2005
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:39,360
Speaker 1: you start a segment right there. No, it's great. It's good,

2006
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: isn't it. I love that Usually doesn't do anything for you.

2007
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 1: You're too young, right, I know the song? You know

2008
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:45,600
Speaker 1: the song? Yeah, I don't know the name of the

2009
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 1: band does playing it, but I mean I know the song. Yeah,

2010
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 1: the Lowrider, Lorenzo with the Lowdown. That's what we're thinking. Yeah,

2011
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:55,680
Speaker 1: I'll get too. Yeah, well I keep looking at that.

2012
01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 1: Lorenzo got a nice highlight. Real mind's like twenty seconds long,

2013
01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, with please something Okay, it's got repeats at it.

2014
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. So this, Lorenzo, we got two

2015
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 1: days away. Here's our big question. I want to hear

2016
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 1: what you say, because we asked to Mark Kelso, the

2017
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:13,720
Speaker 1: radio analyst. He gave us like this analytical thing with

2018
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,760
Speaker 1: three point five, three point seven, this kind of thing.

2019
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him trouble when I see him. But

2020
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: two things that got to happen for you guys to

2021
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 1: win on Sunday, Like a lot of people are saying,

2022
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, win the turnover back. Obviously, you don't want

2023
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman turning it over. And you guys are getting

2024
01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:31,320
Speaker 1: the turnovers to what you craved on last year all

2025
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:32,680
Speaker 1: the other what are some of what are some of

2026
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 1: the things that stick out to you besides you know

2027
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 1: the obvious like getting more turnovers and scoring more points. Well,

2028
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:44,000
Speaker 1: when I look at um the Ravens, historically they've been

2029
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 1: a team that plays great defense, very conservative on offense,

2030
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 1: and they're a physical team. I think just from office

2031
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 1: to defense, you see big bodies linebackers. They keep those

2032
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:57,559
Speaker 1: type of guys very stout, physical and they try to

2033
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 1: bully you in a sense. So I mean I think

2034
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:02,800
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is being able to answer that call.

2035
01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 1: Because you know that Black and Blue division with Pittsburgh

2036
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland has been well known to be very physical. You

2037
01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 1: have to match that same intensity and physicality that they

2038
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 1: bring and match for four quarters because if you start

2039
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:16,200
Speaker 1: shining away from it. I've seen Terrell Sucks to start

2040
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:19,479
Speaker 1: acting crazy out there and telling you he's about to

2041
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: dog you out and then go dog you out. So

2042
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:24,760
Speaker 1: if you allow that to happen in the game and

2043
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:28,840
Speaker 1: allow to build up their whole team kind of rouse

2044
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 1: up around that type of mentality, um and gets after you.

2045
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:33,640
Speaker 1: So we have to come out there and meet him,

2046
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:35,200
Speaker 1: hit him in the mouth, meet him at the fifty,

2047
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 1: and stay on him. And I think that's the biggest

2048
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 1: thing in my mind. Sus sort of a remnant of

2049
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,400
Speaker 1: the old Ravens Super Bowl, Ravens, Bridge, Ray Lewis and

2050
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 1: read in that group. And and he's not just a name.

2051
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean heuces probably I would say close to being

2052
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer type career. I mean he's played

2053
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 1: a long time, he has a Super Bowl always leading sacks, right,

2054
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 1: I mean he's over a hundred sacks, so I mean

2055
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:00,760
Speaker 1: he's producing even later in his career. He's just a

2056
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,639
Speaker 1: dog and he's out there, you know, consistently no matter

2057
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 1: where he's been used, he's being productive. Um, you know,

2058
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 1: and he's another Pack ten guy that's out there bowling

2059
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 1: doing a great job later in their career. One of

2060
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:14,920
Speaker 1: the things I've been talking about somebody I don't know,

2061
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:19,599
Speaker 1: you know, pick right, Yeah, we were talking about the

2062
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,720
Speaker 1: ups and downs of playing these guys. And they've got

2063
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 1: a defense that's almost in return intact the Buffalo Bills, don't.

2064
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they got a lot of new faces, and

2065
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: you guys expect new faces from that, you know, a

2066
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: corner linebacker and a couple of d line and they

2067
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 1: got some new faces over there. They do have the

2068
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:39,680
Speaker 1: same coordinator on offense, new coordinator and a lot of

2069
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 1: new faces up front. So it's what's it like for

2070
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 1: a defense coming into Week one, or you know, in

2071
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:48,000
Speaker 1: any game where you just don't know what that offense

2072
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: is gonna look like, who they're gonna depend on, what

2073
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:52,120
Speaker 1: that offensive line is gonna play, like, who they're gonna

2074
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: go to that kind of thing. Is that that give

2075
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 1: that offense an edge like the Bills coming into this

2076
01:36:57,120 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: guy may could be you know, twofold, they can come

2077
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 1: out and that have any he significant kind of be

2078
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 1: all over the place when when it first starts. For me,

2079
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 1: is hard because you try to find tendencies as far

2080
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:08,559
Speaker 1: as how guys work together, especially as a pass rusher.

2081
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they've had guys all over the place, you know,

2082
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 1: whether it was Yonda or whether Brown is going to

2083
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:16,320
Speaker 1: start as a rookie or I mean, we just don't

2084
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 1: know what's going to go, what's gonna happen. Some of

2085
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,000
Speaker 1: their tackles are guards, have played left and right, center

2086
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 1: has been at guard. So for me and just trying

2087
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:24,760
Speaker 1: to figure out who I'm going to rush against and

2088
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:27,479
Speaker 1: get some tendencies in having a plan so once I

2089
01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 1: actually see that first series and so I can kind

2090
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 1: of figure out, Okay, I'm gonn rush this guy this way,

2091
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: we were able to run this game over here. And

2092
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 1: those are some of the things that you aren't able

2093
01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:39,280
Speaker 1: to really have a good grasp off from a player's

2094
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:42,519
Speaker 1: perspective when they are a lot of moving pieces and

2095
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 1: new parts on their offense. Alrenzo Steve we were talking

2096
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,719
Speaker 1: earlier on the show today and Steve came across the stand.

2097
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 1: I think somebody's sending into you about the Bills and

2098
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:54,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens last several years. The Ravens, I think, because

2099
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,280
Speaker 1: they are Super Bowl champions from five or six years ago,

2100
01:37:57,439 --> 01:38:00,320
Speaker 1: they have this there's there's sort of credible, a credible team.

2101
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 1: You know that UM won a championship. I have had

2102
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: the same GM and the same coach from that and

2103
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 1: yet what was it the last five years, they've won

2104
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 1: one more game than the Buffalo Bills total over the

2105
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 1: last five Yeah, they're forty and forty. The Bills are

2106
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,559
Speaker 1: thirty nine forty one. Both teams have had one playoff

2107
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:18,040
Speaker 1: appearance in the last five years. Yeah, I mean that's

2108
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:23,760
Speaker 1: the perception is everything. The perception is the Ravens got

2109
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 1: it all together. They're doing it. You know, they're on

2110
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 1: the cusp every year, that kind of thing, right, And

2111
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:29,800
Speaker 1: the Bills, you know, because of the drought and then

2112
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 1: you know the playoffs last year were like, ah, well,

2113
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, they got some turnovers exactly. And I think

2114
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 1: Baltimore always seems to be in the hunt every sing. Yeah,

2115
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Buffalo was before I got here as well.

2116
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:42,120
Speaker 1: Just feel like you're in it, but you never in it.

2117
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 1: It's just a different Avenue. They seem like they're on

2118
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:46,719
Speaker 1: the top of it off a couple of years versus

2119
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:49,759
Speaker 1: Buffaloes coming come from the bottom and not never really

2120
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 1: able to jump over the broom and get to that

2121
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 1: next level. And the Ravens having had to deal with

2122
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: the Patriots on top of the not at all. But

2123
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 1: they've done some of those divisions, those throughout those it's

2124
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:04,720
Speaker 1: a tough division. It's it's a competitive division. And the Patriots,

2125
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 1: you know, you've given the Bill struggles over the years,

2126
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 1: and then you got the Jets, and you've got the

2127
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 1: Dolphins who have been up and down and have been

2128
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,600
Speaker 1: have not been you know, it hasn't been that a

2129
01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 1: division like the Central Division has it's been, or the

2130
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 1: North Division has The East has been you know about

2131
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots mostly and the sin and the North Division.

2132
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 1: The AFC has been about Pittsburgh and Cincinnati and Baltimore

2133
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: and those three teams. So I think they get a reputation,

2134
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 1: maybe deservedly. So that's different than Buffalo is, even though

2135
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:41,080
Speaker 1: you look at the record over the fast past five years,

2136
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:44,000
Speaker 1: it's almost identical. Yeah, And you know, I think a

2137
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:45,720
Speaker 1: lot of contributes to what you just said there. I

2138
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 1: mean coming from a winning organization and winning super Bowls.

2139
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 1: You have you know ed Rey, you have trail Sucks,

2140
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 1: you have those type of guys that have been there

2141
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: and won a lot of games. Flack of super Bowl quarterback,

2142
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 1: and you really don't hear a lot of dissension or

2143
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 1: a lot of turnover. It's not ever a lot of

2144
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 1: drama up there either, So you just naturally assuming Ozzie

2145
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 1: Newsman is probably one of the best GMS. Obviously he's

2146
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 1: transitioned from that role now, but one of the best

2147
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 1: GM's probably this last generations, last ten fifteen years, you

2148
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 1: would say, so you might have you're a second term

2149
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 1: in the whole famous GM. Yeah. So it's just a

2150
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 1: lot of stability up there, and you just deem to

2151
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 1: give those teams to benefit of the doubt even when

2152
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 1: things might not like look right on paper. Talking about

2153
01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:31,479
Speaker 1: your team for a second, Lorenzo Alexander joined us. We

2154
01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:33,599
Speaker 1: get set for the Bills in Baltimore coming up on Sunday.

2155
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 1: I know, opposite side of the ball, but clearly you

2156
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:38,080
Speaker 1: followed the quarterback battle, and what did you think when

2157
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:40,600
Speaker 1: they settled on Nathan Peterman And how well equipped is

2158
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: Nathan for the start. Do you believe on Sunday? I

2159
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: think he's ready to go. You know, I've just been

2160
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:49,200
Speaker 1: disappointed that he's had to deal with so much negativity

2161
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: around his name based on one start. Nobody wants to

2162
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:54,400
Speaker 1: be judged off of one opportunity of going out and

2163
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:56,719
Speaker 1: that's not who he is. That was a team effort

2164
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:58,800
Speaker 1: last year versus the Chargers, and I think he's going

2165
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 1: to rebound. And for me, I've been very proud of

2166
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:04,720
Speaker 1: the way he has steadily just chopped wood, kept his

2167
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:07,599
Speaker 1: head down because enter in training camp, I don't even

2168
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 1: think he was even a you know, he was kind

2169
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:11,200
Speaker 1: of an afterthought. It was either it was gonna be

2170
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 1: aj or was Josh gonna step up and take this

2171
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 1: role as a young guy, And he just consistently worked

2172
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 1: and any time he got his opportunity, whether it was

2173
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 1: with the ones, twos or threes, one out there and performed.

2174
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:24,840
Speaker 1: Yes it was the preseason, but he had to strap

2175
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 1: him up and went out there and make plays. And

2176
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 1: people are trying to make the team, so he's playing

2177
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 1: against good competition now, you know, going into obviously the

2178
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: first week as a team, we have to back him up.

2179
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is with any quarterback, you have to

2180
01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 1: give him the ball back as a defense, and then offensively,

2181
01:41:41,120 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 1: you have to give him time, catch balls, maybe make

2182
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:45,760
Speaker 1: a play for him, get his confidence going, and then

2183
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:47,720
Speaker 1: things just seem to play better because now he's playing

2184
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:49,640
Speaker 1: with confidence, has a good flow and feel about it,

2185
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,160
Speaker 1: and you never get stressed or in a tense situation.

2186
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a definitely a team atmosphere, team

2187
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:56,840
Speaker 1: collective win. But I think if we do that for him,

2188
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna play a lot better than his hemates um

2189
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 1: us know him a little bit, Bills fans. I think

2190
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 1: in general, I don't think people think too much about

2191
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:09,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers game. It's kind of an outside national perspective.

2192
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,240
Speaker 1: It's the only thing many people think of when they

2193
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:13,600
Speaker 1: thinking Nathan Peterman. And if you've been around him and

2194
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: if you deal with them, and if you see the

2195
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 1: way he responds to setbacks like that, you're like, well, yeah,

2196
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 1: that was him, but this is him also, but all

2197
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 1: the positive stuff right, And I would I would say

2198
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 1: there is some local hesitation. I mean, I listened to

2199
01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:27,719
Speaker 1: the radio two and listen to fans and I'm on Twitter,

2200
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:32,719
Speaker 1: so there is just it won't Yeah, so that that game,

2201
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:35,479
Speaker 1: I mean, was just so horrendous. And obviously it's bench

2202
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 1: and Tyrode in the middle of a season where we

2203
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: were doing well intown, having five okay, you know so,

2204
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 1: and it was just a big shift, you know, to

2205
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:46,640
Speaker 1: a guy from a veteran to a rookie. So some

2206
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 1: people are still on it and they don't like this

2207
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 1: decision with him starting. And that's why I say, I'm

2208
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: disappointed because it's just one start, yeah, and a lot

2209
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 1: of stuff. He was getting hit, Yeah, he threw some

2210
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 1: bad ball. He's getting hit one off of face mask,

2211
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean, stuff that he couldn't control. And defensively we

2212
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 1: didn't help him at all either, So it is steam rolled.

2213
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 1: And then obviously in this league, it's a quarterback driven league,

2214
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 1: so they take all the glory and they're gonna take

2215
01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 1: all the hardship as well when things don't go well.

2216
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: I don't I also think there's this atmosphere, the particular

2217
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,519
Speaker 1: around Peterman. He's a second year guy. I mean, he's

2218
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,640
Speaker 1: the veteran, but he's right, so he's gonna go in

2219
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:20,800
Speaker 1: and I would expect that there'd be an atmosphere on

2220
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the football that, like we're in

2221
01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: here with him. You know, we're gonna help him out.

2222
01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 1: Got you know, these guys are gonna say, listen, I'm

2223
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna make a play for him. We gotta do our thing.

2224
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 1: As long as he can get the ball out of

2225
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,280
Speaker 1: his hand, we gotta all be there for him. And

2226
01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: if somebody, if we catch it when he throws it,

2227
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 1: if we run it when he hands it off, if

2228
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: we run the and he's got a command, yea, So

2229
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 1: let him do what he does. Make sure he's got

2230
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:44,280
Speaker 1: He'll get us all lined up, get us into the

2231
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,639
Speaker 1: right protection, get us all that, and then let's play

2232
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,479
Speaker 1: for him. I think there's gotta be a lot of

2233
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 1: confidence in a guy. They can just do what he

2234
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:53,400
Speaker 1: If he just does what he does, get the ball

2235
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 1: out of his hands, and the rest of us will

2236
01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 1: do it. And that was his biggest strength I thought

2237
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 1: in this preseason was that he made decisions very quickly,

2238
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:03,960
Speaker 1: precise got the ball out, whether it's the KB or

2239
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 1: Charles or you know, dumping and checking it down. He

2240
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:08,640
Speaker 1: didn't take a lot of hits and just kept the

2241
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 1: offense moving and being fluid. And they did take a

2242
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,080
Speaker 1: lot of negative plays, and that's you know, actually probably

2243
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 1: the biggest key in this game is not taking a

2244
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:18,759
Speaker 1: lot of negative plays because this this Baltimore defense strives

2245
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 1: on that. This coach wants that. So you know, it

2246
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 1: all ties in together. You know you started drive, let's

2247
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,879
Speaker 1: say first and ten, and then end up third and fifteen.

2248
01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna punt, You're gonna get double vice or our

2249
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,720
Speaker 1: gun is gonna get vice. Outside we're putting the ball.

2250
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,679
Speaker 1: They flipping the field, and now they're in the range

2251
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:36,479
Speaker 1: where they have strong kickers and tucker where they can

2252
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 1: kick long field goals and they play that type of

2253
01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 1: ground out game. So it's definitely gonna have to be

2254
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 1: fast winning first and second down for the offense, which

2255
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: I think nate in our offense. I half gone with

2256
01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 1: a girl game play this week with Lorenzo Alexander. Bills

2257
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:50,960
Speaker 1: linebacker Brendan Bean was on our show earlier this week,

2258
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 1: and he credited you with really helping a lot with

2259
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 1: trem and Edmunds, getting him set to play, getting his

2260
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,559
Speaker 1: mind set to play. You just naturally do or did

2261
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:02,240
Speaker 1: somebody ask you can you help us out? And I

2262
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 1: think it's kind of just writing his own the wall.

2263
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm fourteen years in and here we have a young

2264
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:09,719
Speaker 1: guy that's twenty that's going to be leading our defense

2265
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 1: that I should step in. So nobody had to come

2266
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:13,920
Speaker 1: tell me. I just just figured that's what I need

2267
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:15,240
Speaker 1: to do. And how does that work? What do you

2268
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:18,640
Speaker 1: do on the field. I think both meetings. You know,

2269
01:45:18,720 --> 01:45:22,160
Speaker 1: we watched film together, practice film, game film. Out on

2270
01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:23,760
Speaker 1: the field, if I see something, I'm just trying to

2271
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 1: give him little nuggets here and there that sometimes coaches

2272
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 1: may miss because they're coming from an excited ows and

2273
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: a coach's perspective versus actually being out there on the

2274
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,560
Speaker 1: field and the little things that I see in this

2275
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,680
Speaker 1: game that can help him be more dominant or make

2276
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:41,240
Speaker 1: better decisions or quicker decisions. But then at the same time,

2277
01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm also out there saying, hey, I got you, don't worry,

2278
01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 1: whatever you call, whatever you make a mistake, WE got

2279
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:49,000
Speaker 1: your back. We're gonna roll with you. Because he has

2280
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:51,600
Speaker 1: to want to keep him positive, just like Nate in

2281
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 1: a sense, because he's our signal caller, so he doesn't

2282
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:57,400
Speaker 1: get out there and get flustered. Perception is that he

2283
01:45:57,560 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 1: did get better week to week to week the week

2284
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:02,320
Speaker 1: in preseason, right, I mean, it's because he didn't play

2285
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 1: his position in college. I mean, he's a bigger athlete,

2286
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:07,520
Speaker 1: long has all the attributes, but when you're playing mike linebacker,

2287
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, being a leader, having great eyes, great vision, um,

2288
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, being physical downhill, but then also be able

2289
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: to cover. He's being asked to do a lot of things,

2290
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:19,720
Speaker 1: making checks, empty checks, getting guys lined up right. Um,

2291
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 1: he's in charge of a lot of different things and

2292
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:24,599
Speaker 1: sometimes that can bog you down. And I just saw

2293
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:27,000
Speaker 1: him progressively getting better. And what I really love when

2294
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:29,519
Speaker 1: he made a mistake, he was hard on himself, but

2295
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 1: then he made he was able to make the correction

2296
01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:33,600
Speaker 1: and make the shift even within a game. Um. I

2297
01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:35,800
Speaker 1: think the Cleveland game was probably a great picture of

2298
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:38,599
Speaker 1: that where he maybe started off, had some issues seeing

2299
01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 1: some pullers and made the adjustments and made some places

2300
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:44,720
Speaker 1: before he got out in again. One more treman And

2301
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:46,720
Speaker 1: I said this to be the other day, Steve laughing

2302
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:48,400
Speaker 1: at me. I like the way he's progressing. I just

2303
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 1: want to see him tax somebody now, you know. I

2304
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 1: know he's got that yeah, yeah, yeah, he's flying around. Um,

2305
01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:58,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna catch somebody eventually. I

2306
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:00,680
Speaker 1: mean the way he runs, the way he overs, He's

2307
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:02,880
Speaker 1: putting himself in position that that goes to being in

2308
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:05,320
Speaker 1: the right position so you can get those hits. And

2309
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:07,680
Speaker 1: I think sometimes earlier on you you're moving too much.

2310
01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 1: I say, man, this slowdown, you athletic dude. You can

2311
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:13,000
Speaker 1: be very patient. And because you get run with almost

2312
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 1: anybody in this league, even receivers because of your length.

2313
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:17,760
Speaker 1: So just be patient, slowdown. That puts you in the

2314
01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:19,639
Speaker 1: right position. It's almost to the point where and I've

2315
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 1: been saying this too. You know, we're talking so much

2316
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen, a you know, a big time draft

2317
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:27,200
Speaker 1: pick and a rookie quarterback. It's almost the point where

2318
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:28,920
Speaker 1: so much other stuff is going over the team. He

2319
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 1: has been so not good, not so good, but good

2320
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 1: enough to fly under the radar of even being a concern. Right, Yeah,

2321
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:38,360
Speaker 1: you don't know he's gonna line up, He's gonna be there.

2322
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 1: He might he may make some mistakes, but they're not

2323
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,719
Speaker 1: gonna be glaring. Yeah, you know, depensively you can cover

2324
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 1: things up outside a quarterback, but you just you know this,

2325
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 1: this run to the ball, be physical, blow stuff up, right,

2326
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 1: and then you can you can fix a lot of

2327
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:52,800
Speaker 1: issues doing that. You can be a mess. But one

2328
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: guy makes a play it's like, yeah, we're good. Yeah,

2329
01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So it's almost the point where

2330
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 1: he is young. He's really young, but he is not

2331
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:04,400
Speaker 1: one of the main concerns about some of the stuff

2332
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 1: that could happen to a defense. His play has been

2333
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 1: good enough to like just take him off that, yeah,

2334
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,280
Speaker 1: radar or should he be? I mean, I'm watching I'm

2335
01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 1: in awe just of his as I just wish I

2336
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 1: had something you can go fast, grow my arms a

2337
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:19,519
Speaker 1: little bit longer. Man. This impresses to watch. Tell people,

2338
01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 1: if I was built like him when I was twenty,

2339
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 1: I'd still beat right. And he's one of those guys

2340
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 1: that will do that. Yeah, all right, we got you

2341
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:30,840
Speaker 1: in here for the lowdown. The Keys to a Buffalo victory.

2342
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:33,320
Speaker 1: You've touched on seven of them already. The lowdown. You

2343
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 1: think a field position is going to be important in

2344
01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 1: this one? Yeah, And I talked to it about it earlier.

2345
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, especially these first couple of games,

2346
01:48:39,040 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 1: it is very basic stuff and it comes down to

2347
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:45,680
Speaker 1: fundamentals and techniques and field position. And I'm talking collectively,

2348
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:48,840
Speaker 1: not just uh, special teams you know, so like winning

2349
01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:51,679
Speaker 1: on first and second down for the offense not starting

2350
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 1: the game, you know, first and ten, and then on

2351
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:57,400
Speaker 1: that first drive we are third and fifteen or twenty

2352
01:48:57,439 --> 01:48:59,720
Speaker 1: because of some penalties, and now we're putting from the ten.

2353
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 1: They get the ball around midfield and now they don't

2354
01:49:03,200 --> 01:49:04,960
Speaker 1: have to get one first down with Tucker and maybe

2355
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 1: they got points on the board, played a little bit

2356
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:09,679
Speaker 1: more conservative. Or then they get the ball at the fifty.

2357
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:11,960
Speaker 1: Let's say we stop them, they punt. Now we're backed

2358
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,080
Speaker 1: up again within the five yard line. And that's the

2359
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 1: game within the game that coach is always referred to,

2360
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 1: because as an offensive coordinator, your playbooks is real limited

2361
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:21,960
Speaker 1: when you're playing backed up on your side of the

2362
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:23,960
Speaker 1: ball the whole game. So those are the things that

2363
01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:26,200
Speaker 1: we have to do, and it's far obviously defensively on

2364
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:27,599
Speaker 1: the flip side, we have to do the same thing.

2365
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 1: Getting Flack on some third and long, make him hold

2366
01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:31,639
Speaker 1: the ball because he does get the ball out quick,

2367
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: and so we can allow Jerry Shack, myself and whoever

2368
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:36,400
Speaker 1: else is rushing to pass and get after him. Unlike

2369
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 1: any other franchise I've seen, I mean, I've been I've

2370
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:43,360
Speaker 1: been watching the Ravens since their inception, since they were

2371
01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 1: they came about, and they've done it with defense a lot,

2372
01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:49,439
Speaker 1: and people had kind of expected and in fact, I've

2373
01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 1: seen him do it where it's just like you said,

2374
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:54,960
Speaker 1: either they'll kick off or they'll get the ball, whichever,

2375
01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 1: so they'll get like one and this is back when

2376
01:49:57,240 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: they didn't have an offense like running with Trent Dilfer

2377
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: or even the early days of Joe Flacker. They get

2378
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 1: one first down, punted away, get them down deep, and

2379
01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 1: then you don't get anything, and you back up, back up,

2380
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:09,160
Speaker 1: you punt it to them and they're ahead by whatever

2381
01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:11,080
Speaker 1: you backed up. Then they get one more first down.

2382
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:12,840
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, now they're in field goal range

2383
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:15,120
Speaker 1: in the red zone because they ain't haven't done anything

2384
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:19,560
Speaker 1: trade fuel positions or a couple of first downs, and

2385
01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 1: they just ratchet the field position towards your end at

2386
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:24,760
Speaker 1: both ends of the punt exactly and they just keep

2387
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:28,000
Speaker 1: going that way. Hardball being a X special teams coordinated.

2388
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 1: That's he loved playing football like that. It's like a

2389
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:33,479
Speaker 1: drip drip, drip, drip drip. Yeah, they got great defense,

2390
01:50:33,520 --> 01:50:35,760
Speaker 1: though it's hard to score. Yeah, and if you not

2391
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:38,040
Speaker 1: put points up, they just play that conservative football the

2392
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: whole game. Yeah and yeah then or you know, and

2393
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 1: with that defense though, and like they did last year,

2394
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 1: they turn over a couple of turnovers and then then

2395
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:47,839
Speaker 1: it gets out of hand right real quick. Um the lowdown,

2396
01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 1: Lorenzo second Key deals with red zone important to put

2397
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: a point in the Yeah, we gotta and when I

2398
01:50:53,200 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 1: mean points, I mean touchdowns. Yeah, we gotta converting the

2399
01:50:56,360 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: rens o and put touchdowns. And so we can get

2400
01:50:58,120 --> 01:51:00,439
Speaker 1: them out of that conservative play so where they just

2401
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable. Maybe it's third and five and there

2402
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:07,720
Speaker 1: on the fringe of Tucker's field goal range, we're we'll

2403
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:09,560
Speaker 1: just run the ball and pin you back. You know,

2404
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:11,040
Speaker 1: we wanted to make them feel like, oh no, we

2405
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:13,719
Speaker 1: gotta score, we gotta get points. You know, make Flackle

2406
01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 1: think I have to make a big play. So that

2407
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 1: gives us a chance to obviously get interceptions, but allow

2408
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:20,000
Speaker 1: us to pin our air back and really get after

2409
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:23,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback rushing the passer. And another thing about that

2410
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 1: is the Bills come down into the red zone, and

2411
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills gotta be efficient down there. And

2412
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, Calvin Benjamin's an obvious target. The guy's really

2413
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 1: tall and really athletic. We also have Logan Thomas, who yes,

2414
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 1: the same guy. I mean they're both way tall. And

2415
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 1: he put two of those guys out there, and along

2416
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:41,800
Speaker 1: with Rob with Charles Clay, and all of a sudden,

2417
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:44,120
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, they got some guys right that. You know,

2418
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:45,760
Speaker 1: you get down read it, you know, like in those

2419
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:47,840
Speaker 1: inside those first and goal on the twos or the

2420
01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 1: fives a problems, there are a matchup problem. And then

2421
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:53,960
Speaker 1: if you have Shady out there, I mean as well

2422
01:51:54,040 --> 01:51:56,280
Speaker 1: in the run game, because now are they gonna run it?

2423
01:51:56,320 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 1: Are they spreading us out to pass it or run it?

2424
01:51:58,520 --> 01:51:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean, so what do you do? What do you

2425
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:01,680
Speaker 1: put your linebackers? You leave him in the box? Do

2426
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:03,599
Speaker 1: you cheat them out to maybe helping some quick slants

2427
01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:05,920
Speaker 1: and stuff? So, I mean it looks like we haven't

2428
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 1: played a game, Bills haven't played the game. It looks

2429
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 1: they look like a really good red zone team. Yeah.

2430
01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean they're building endables, you know, offensive playing calling ability.

2431
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 1: I think we're from going to look for the matchups,

2432
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 1: just like how the Patriots normally matchups. They find a

2433
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: weak point or where they can really exploit and that's

2434
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 1: where they attack Lorenzo's third lowdown. This third key is

2435
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: when the turnover battle. This is a Ravens team that

2436
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 1: had what twenty two interceptions thirty four takeaways last year.

2437
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:29,320
Speaker 1: They're good at that, they're good at turn great and

2438
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: we're good at it as well, and that's what we

2439
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:32,559
Speaker 1: want to be able to do. You know. Taking care

2440
01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:34,839
Speaker 1: of the football is one of our main things. Respect

2441
01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:37,040
Speaker 1: for the football or something that we live on. And

2442
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:40,720
Speaker 1: again it's we have to win that in order to

2443
01:52:40,760 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 1: beat this team, because there's such a conservative team. To

2444
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 1: get them out of that mold, we have to take

2445
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:48,720
Speaker 1: the ball back and then obviously give Nate more opportunities,

2446
01:52:48,840 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, being young, starting a young offense, give them

2447
01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:54,320
Speaker 1: more opportunities to get into a rhythm if it's not happening,

2448
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, off kickoff. Are getting set for your fourteenth

2449
01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:00,880
Speaker 1: season in the league, right at age thirty. And one

2450
01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:03,520
Speaker 1: of the things that I've learned about you that fascinates

2451
01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 1: me is how not only do you have a regiment

2452
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,519
Speaker 1: that you follow really strictly during the season, but you

2453
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 1: you adapt as you go along. Where are you now

2454
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:12,840
Speaker 1: compared to say a year ago or even two years

2455
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:16,160
Speaker 1: ago as first your preparation, your physical preparation for getting

2456
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:17,840
Speaker 1: ready for a game. I think I've even become more

2457
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 1: regimented this year. Like we've talked about, we have like

2458
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:23,719
Speaker 1: a sports science division, and a lot of our trainers

2459
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 1: and even our strift staff go to seminars in the

2460
01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:28,720
Speaker 1: off season. And one of the biggest things they took

2461
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 1: away from this offseason they went to like a recovery seminar,

2462
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:34,679
Speaker 1: and it was about changing up and diversifying the way

2463
01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 1: you recover, so not always just getting the typical thing

2464
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 1: is what cold tub? Right, everybody cold tub getting cold

2465
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:42,320
Speaker 1: up every single day, But just like lifting weights every

2466
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:44,760
Speaker 1: single day, your body eventually adapts to it and is

2467
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:47,439
Speaker 1: less effective. So that's probably the biggest thing I've done.

2468
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:49,360
Speaker 1: I've changed it up from normal tech, which is like

2469
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:53,240
Speaker 1: compression boots to cold tub to contrast was just hot

2470
01:53:53,280 --> 01:53:55,760
Speaker 1: and cold. And then my massages that I mix in

2471
01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:58,280
Speaker 1: and then Will Greenberg here, that's part of our strength

2472
01:53:58,320 --> 01:54:01,479
Speaker 1: staff is actually put this on a schedule for me

2473
01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 1: and I have like red, green, and white days. It's real,

2474
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:07,200
Speaker 1: It's not as complicated as it sounds, but it just

2475
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:09,720
Speaker 1: lets me know I got a high and test day.

2476
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:12,120
Speaker 1: I gotta do these things. Low and test days. Got

2477
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 1: to do these things. And I have my food kind

2478
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:16,880
Speaker 1: of connected in how I eat with that as well.

2479
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:18,519
Speaker 1: So that's what I got to do with this day

2480
01:54:18,560 --> 01:54:20,519
Speaker 1: and age to keep playing at a high. Eleven days

2481
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:22,320
Speaker 1: a week. That sounds like, oh yes, it's a job,

2482
01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, every day, no days off, even though technically

2483
01:54:25,120 --> 01:54:27,559
Speaker 1: I got a physical day off. Yesterday, I was out

2484
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 1: there calling the plays into the head said it were

2485
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:31,120
Speaker 1: just kind of cool. Yeah, Steve is going to bring

2486
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:36,360
Speaker 1: that up. The same thing when I own it. Every

2487
01:54:36,440 --> 01:54:38,720
Speaker 1: day was an off day. They really want me on

2488
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:41,040
Speaker 1: the field, so I did the same thing. It was

2489
01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:44,760
Speaker 1: one way I kept engagemental is i'd call or signal

2490
01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:47,720
Speaker 1: in the offensive plays while they were running offensive team

2491
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 1: because I had the script and we did the signals

2492
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:53,240
Speaker 1: back then. Wasn't radio because it was you know, the

2493
01:54:53,440 --> 01:54:56,520
Speaker 1: stone age, but I was signaling it would help me

2494
01:54:56,640 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 1: stay mentally engaged with what the quarterback was doing with

2495
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 1: the line up to everything, and that was it's not

2496
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:05,120
Speaker 1: it does doesn't engaged. You're legs a man coming call,

2497
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 1: So okay, cool, I'm not gonna I don't want to coach,

2498
01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:09,000
Speaker 1: but I'll do this, but you do stay engaged making

2499
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:12,240
Speaker 1: the checks calls recognize the formation. So I'm right, this

2500
01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:14,480
Speaker 1: keeps me mentally locked in. I got one more question

2501
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 1: for you, and it goes back you were we did

2502
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:18,600
Speaker 1: not talk to you after the Chicago preseason game. I

2503
01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:20,760
Speaker 1: don't believe last week. No, no, So we spend a

2504
01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 1: lot of time last Friday seven. I talking about that game. Yes,

2505
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:25,680
Speaker 1: fourth preseason game. A lot of guys who played are

2506
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 1: no longer here, But there's something about that game in

2507
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:31,480
Speaker 1: terms of revealing a little bit of a reveal of

2508
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:34,200
Speaker 1: the culture here, the way that that game played out,

2509
01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:36,280
Speaker 1: the way your team on hard Yeah, yeah, And I

2510
01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 1: wonder if you can just talk about that as you

2511
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 1: get set for what you're the third year of the Bills,

2512
01:55:40,680 --> 01:55:43,360
Speaker 1: fourth third year with the Bills. How do you see

2513
01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:45,560
Speaker 1: how have you seen that evolved to the culture that

2514
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 1: McDermot has tried to implant here, maybe in relation to

2515
01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:51,080
Speaker 1: the Chicago game, but especially in relation to coming up

2516
01:55:51,120 --> 01:55:53,240
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. I mean we blue collar. I mean I

2517
01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:55,960
Speaker 1: think no matter what it looks like from the outside

2518
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:57,600
Speaker 1: or what the scoreboard, we're going to play a certain

2519
01:55:57,600 --> 01:55:59,360
Speaker 1: type of ball and never and never mail it in.

2520
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 1: I think the guys obviously felt that while they were here.

2521
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 1: That's what we're trying to build. But at the same time,

2522
01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 1: guys have a lot of pride and love for each other,

2523
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:10,000
Speaker 1: respect knowing that, yeah, I may not be on this team,

2524
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,000
Speaker 1: but there are study one other teams that are looking

2525
01:56:12,040 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 1: at how I'm going to play, especially when the score

2526
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:16,400
Speaker 1: may be out of hand, and guys laid it out

2527
01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:18,000
Speaker 1: light on the line, I mean, because this is guy's

2528
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 1: dreams and passion. So um, yes, it was part of

2529
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:22,280
Speaker 1: our culture, but I think it's just more of that,

2530
01:56:22,480 --> 01:56:24,200
Speaker 1: the bond that we have for each other respected. I'm

2531
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna go out and play hard because you look good,

2532
01:56:26,200 --> 01:56:28,320
Speaker 1: you make the guy next you look better as well.

2533
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:30,240
Speaker 1: And we had a lot of guys that are no

2534
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:32,400
Speaker 1: longer here but got picked up, you know, on waivers

2535
01:56:32,520 --> 01:56:34,480
Speaker 1: or signed some deals with some other teams, which is

2536
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:37,320
Speaker 1: very impressive of his roster because I believe maybe a

2537
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:39,560
Speaker 1: year ago it wasn't the case as far as how

2538
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:41,640
Speaker 1: many guys got picked up. So it shows that they're

2539
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:44,120
Speaker 1: bringing in the right guys. Some good things going on here.

2540
01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:48,920
Speaker 1: Played this week right, good luck exactly. I appreciate it. Yeah,

2541
01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:51,640
Speaker 1: go after fly around and hit some folks. Yeah, get

2542
01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:55,960

2546
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:19,280
Speaker 1: that brings usit today. The season kick off between the

2547
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:21,800
Speaker 1: Bills and the Ravens. The sun beaming down on the

Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com with some of the highlights. There's

2557
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:08,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of a creative license being employed there,

2558
01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:10,360
Speaker 1: I think, but that's okay. It's fun if all if

2559
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:12,880
Speaker 1: any of that stuff happens on Sunday. That'll be really cool.

2562
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:18,680
Speaker 1: is I don't know what to think of this. The

2563
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 1: forecast rain in the forecast for Baltimore. Ninety eight percent

2564
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 1: chance of rain on Sunday in Baltimore. The winds fourteen

2565
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 1: miles per hour. That shouldn't be a problem. The high

2566
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:31,000
Speaker 1: temperature is going to be about sixty nine degree. So

2567
01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:34,120
Speaker 1: a rainy Sunday coming up in Baltimore for the season opener.

2568
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 1: That stinks so bad? Why because you're down? Yeah, well

2569
01:58:38,280 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 1: you got rain gear. You got some CBS rain gear,

2570
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 1: no doubt. Right, that's so bad. You'll be fine. That

2571
01:58:45,880 --> 01:58:47,520
Speaker 1: is so bad. Hey, let us know what you think

2572
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:49,400
Speaker 1: of the game. What are the two things the Bills

2573
01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:52,160
Speaker 1: need to do to guarantee a victory in Baltimore this Sunday.

2574
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:54,360
Speaker 1: That's how we started the show, full nines open eight

2575
01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 1: ozho three h five fifty toll free one eight eight

2576
01:58:56,800 --> 01:58:59,640
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. What two things have

2577
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 1: to happened for the Bills to get a win over

2578
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:04,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens. They'll take a call from Jim and Albion. Hello, Jim,

2579
01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:06,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Yes, sir, it's a

2580
01:59:06,240 --> 01:59:10,200
Speaker 1: pleasure to talk to you, mister Murphy, mister Tasker. Thanks Dasky.

2581
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:13,720
Speaker 1: Used to be in the Hall of Fame fan since

2582
01:59:13,800 --> 01:59:17,080
Speaker 1: the rock pile. But you watched tomorrow and all year

2583
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:21,360
Speaker 1: it's been like this for fifteen years. A place through eight,

2584
01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:24,080
Speaker 1: third and nine and they threw a five yard pass

2585
01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 1: and it's fourth and two. The player doesn't know what

2586
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 1: the first sound marker is or the plays designed. Law.

2587
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:34,880
Speaker 1: I let your comment on this. Yeah, there's sometimes when

2588
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 1: you get into a spot where, yeah, you don't want

2589
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:40,840
Speaker 1: to do that, there's absolutely no and they'll used to

2590
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:43,320
Speaker 1: be we'd call a play like that and the play

2591
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: was designed to go five yards five yards, but they

2592
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:48,320
Speaker 1: call it on a third and six and a half

2593
01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:52,080
Speaker 1: or third and seven, and the job, the job of

2594
01:59:52,120 --> 01:59:53,880
Speaker 1: the receiver is to go out and try and get

2595
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:57,440
Speaker 1: that first down there and that's you know, it's it's

2596
01:59:57,440 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 1: not a bad design, but you don't have a play

2597
01:59:59,120 --> 02:00:01,680
Speaker 1: called for every yardage that you need, and you do

2598
02:00:01,840 --> 02:00:05,080
Speaker 1: have your plays called for the sticks, which is what

2599
02:00:05,200 --> 02:00:08,680
Speaker 1: you should call. But yeah, that you know, it comes

2600
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:10,480
Speaker 1: down to players. I mean, the players have got to

2601
02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:13,040
Speaker 1: make it happen, and sometimes they take a chance that

2602
02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:15,400
Speaker 1: they're going to catch the ball, break a tackle and go.

2603
02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:18,800
Speaker 1: But for the most part, you do try and get

2604
02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:21,280
Speaker 1: past the sticks. You've got to, and believe me, the

2605
02:00:21,320 --> 02:00:23,280
Speaker 1: coaches don't want to come up short of them first down.

2606
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:25,840
Speaker 1: Bills have a brand new play caller coming up Sunday, right,

2607
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Brian dam Oldys, the designer of the offense. He'll be

2608
02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:30,960
Speaker 1: calling the plays. I mean to sit in your take

2609
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:33,320
Speaker 1: on this, Steave, what percentage of Brian Dabo's job is

2610
02:00:33,760 --> 02:00:36,840
Speaker 1: putting the plays in place, designing the offense compared to

2611
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:39,720
Speaker 1: actually sitting down and calling the plays on Sunday? I

2612
02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:42,160
Speaker 1: mean in terms of time spend, in terms of importance.

2613
02:00:42,160 --> 02:00:43,880
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm really asking, Wow, I don't know

2614
02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:46,320
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I think I think the offense,

2615
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:48,480
Speaker 1: the ways that they've installed it, I mean that's a

2616
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 1: full time job. I mean they've been working on it

2617
02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:52,400
Speaker 1: for months. It's a never ending job. They're going to

2618
02:00:52,440 --> 02:00:55,040
Speaker 1: continue to install things and change things as the season

2619
02:00:55,120 --> 02:00:59,400
Speaker 1: moves along. They'll be light years ahead or the light

2620
02:00:59,480 --> 02:01:01,480
Speaker 1: years away from where they are now at the end

2621
02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:04,320
Speaker 1: of the season if all goes as planned, because they'll

2622
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:08,560
Speaker 1: be changing and evolving even during games, they'll be doing that.

2623
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:12,280
Speaker 1: So that is a job that never ends on game day.

2624
02:01:12,320 --> 02:01:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question calling plays is an

2625
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:18,680
Speaker 1: art form. You have to there's a big sense of

2626
02:01:19,040 --> 02:01:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to say feel, but it also it

2627
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:24,080
Speaker 1: is a little feel that. It's also having a good

2628
02:01:24,120 --> 02:01:26,840
Speaker 1: grasp of what the analytics say about what they're going

2629
02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:28,320
Speaker 1: to do and what the other team's going to do,

2630
02:01:28,400 --> 02:01:30,240
Speaker 1: and what your team is capable of doing, and then

2631
02:01:30,320 --> 02:01:32,760
Speaker 1: meshing those two together to pull out a play that

2632
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:34,880
Speaker 1: is perfect for the down and distance that gives you

2633
02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:38,680
Speaker 1: it maybe a chance at a touchdown, but also a

2634
02:01:38,800 --> 02:01:40,800
Speaker 1: high percentage of making sure that you're going to pick

2635
02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:42,600
Speaker 1: up the first down if you don't get the touchdown,

2636
02:01:42,720 --> 02:01:47,360
Speaker 1: so maybe with a completely different option. So all, it's

2637
02:01:47,400 --> 02:01:51,400
Speaker 1: an art form to call plays. It is a career

2638
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 1: to install offenses and design offenses. Good answer, Hey, what

2639
02:01:55,400 --> 02:01:56,920
Speaker 1: do you think? What are the two things the Bills

2640
02:01:56,960 --> 02:01:59,200
Speaker 1: need to do to come out Victoria's Sunday from the

2641
02:01:59,240 --> 02:02:02,320
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Marty Rogers. Number one, keep the Ravens

2642
02:02:02,440 --> 02:02:05,800
Speaker 1: defense off balance with multiple looks and a veried attack. Offensively,

2643
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Peterman will need to find rhythm early for this to work.

2644
02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:11,160
Speaker 1: Number two stopped the run, forced them into second and

2645
02:02:11,240 --> 02:02:14,880
Speaker 1: third and long to give our secondary better opportunities for turnovers. Yeah.

2646
02:02:14,880 --> 02:02:17,000
Speaker 1: I like number one, and I think the Bills, based

2647
02:02:17,040 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 1: on what I saw in the first preseason game, are

2648
02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:21,240
Speaker 1: capable of that. Keep them off balance with multiple looks

2649
02:02:21,280 --> 02:02:25,160
Speaker 1: and a veried attack. I think they're capable of doing that. Yeah,

2650
02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:28,400
Speaker 1: I agree, and I think that's that's what they're shooting

2651
02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:31,320
Speaker 1: for always. I think, and there's another one from Banach.

2652
02:02:32,240 --> 02:02:34,600
Speaker 1: Nothing profound here. They need to control the ball and

2653
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:36,920
Speaker 1: win the turnover battle. A big play on special teams

2654
02:02:36,960 --> 02:02:38,840
Speaker 1: would go a long ways too. I like a block

2655
02:02:38,960 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 1: punt or kick return, etc. Yeah that's yeah. At some

2656
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:45,600
Speaker 1: point there's going to be an explosive play in the game,

2657
02:02:45,720 --> 02:02:48,280
Speaker 1: and you needed to go in your favor these plays.

2658
02:02:48,720 --> 02:02:52,600
Speaker 1: These games, particularly the one like we're anticipating in Baltimore weeks.

2659
02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:54,800
Speaker 1: You know, you and I both expect you know, a

2660
02:02:54,920 --> 02:02:57,560
Speaker 1: seven point ten point game. I think a double digit

2661
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:00,200
Speaker 1: gap and score would be I think a blow out

2662
02:03:00,200 --> 02:03:01,600
Speaker 1: for one of us. I think it's gonna be much

2663
02:03:01,640 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 1: closer than that, so I and I think when you

2664
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:09,240
Speaker 1: have games like that, all of us will be able

2665
02:03:09,240 --> 02:03:10,800
Speaker 1: to look back at it and say, man, there's like

2666
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:13,320
Speaker 1: three plays in that game that we're the difference, and

2667
02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:14,840
Speaker 1: you want to get as many of those plays as

2668
02:03:14,880 --> 02:03:17,640
Speaker 1: you can. Just those that handful of plays. Tweet from

2669
02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:20,920
Speaker 1: a nicky boy on the tweet sheet one. Peterman needs

2670
02:03:20,920 --> 02:03:22,640
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball quick, which I think

2671
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:25,840
Speaker 1: he will so our weak offensive line doesn't hurt us too.

2672
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:29,280
Speaker 1: The defensive secondary needs to step up. They looked inconsistent

2673
02:03:29,440 --> 02:03:33,040
Speaker 1: in preseason. If we give Flacco open receivers, he'll beat us. Yeah,

2674
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:35,040
Speaker 1: that's true. I do agree with getting rid of the

2675
02:03:35,080 --> 02:03:38,040
Speaker 1: ball quick. I do think that's one of the big

2676
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:41,200
Speaker 1: reasons why Nathan Peterman is going to be starting this week.

2677
02:03:41,760 --> 02:03:43,480
Speaker 1: The ball will come out. I mean he showed it.

2678
02:03:43,640 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 1: He showed it last year. Ball's coming out now. He

2679
02:03:46,120 --> 02:03:48,120
Speaker 1: may not be on target one hundred percent every time,

2680
02:03:48,960 --> 02:03:51,320
Speaker 1: he may throw an interception from time to time, but

2681
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:54,080
Speaker 1: the ball is coming out With Nathan Peterman. I'm very

2682
02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:57,320
Speaker 1: confident of that. And the only downside to that is

2683
02:03:57,360 --> 02:04:01,000
Speaker 1: once he gets a rhythm, the defensive backs get that

2684
02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:03,680
Speaker 1: rhythm too. They know when they know the balls coming out.

2685
02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:06,040
Speaker 1: They've they've seen him throw ten times now. The ball

2686
02:04:06,120 --> 02:04:08,640
Speaker 1: comes out on the same rhythm every time. They can

2687
02:04:08,760 --> 02:04:10,520
Speaker 1: kind of feel it. They're gonna they'll get to the

2688
02:04:10,560 --> 02:04:13,920
Speaker 1: point where they're they'll start sitting down on routes and

2689
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:16,200
Speaker 1: they won't believe. You won't be able to fool him anymore.

2690
02:04:16,200 --> 02:04:17,720
Speaker 1: As a receiver, you go out there and the guy's

2691
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:19,680
Speaker 1: got to think you're going deep. He's got to turn

2692
02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:22,440
Speaker 1: his hips, when in actuality, you break the route off.

2693
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:24,320
Speaker 1: The ball comes out on time, just like it hasn't.

2694
02:04:24,320 --> 02:04:27,360
Speaker 1: It's and it's an intermediate or short game. Well, the

2695
02:04:27,480 --> 02:04:30,560
Speaker 1: dbs start seeing it and feeling it and getting beat

2696
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:33,800
Speaker 1: like that, they're gonna start to jump routes and sooner

2697
02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:35,320
Speaker 1: or later, you got to press that ball down the

2698
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: field and hopefully through play selection they'll be able to

2699
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:39,520
Speaker 1: do that. What needs to happen for the Bills to

2700
02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:41,120
Speaker 1: get to win. A couple of calls on this, Kevin

2701
02:04:41,160 --> 02:04:44,880
Speaker 1: and Hamburg. Kevin, go ahead, you're on the air with this, okay, um.

2702
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 1: I think when they knew is moving the turnovers, you

2703
02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:49,760
Speaker 1: know the Ravens are good. They're gonna give it. Get

2704
02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 1: turnover They're just that kind of team, the way the

2705
02:04:52,400 --> 02:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Steelers used to be in the seventies and harass Flacco

2706
02:04:56,840 --> 02:05:01,240
Speaker 1: those years that Flacco stunk well, he didn't meet the playoffs.

2707
02:05:01,360 --> 02:05:04,400
Speaker 1: They harassed him and buoyed him and picked on him

2708
02:05:04,400 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 1: and meet him a meremorial. Just harass him terribly and

2709
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:10,080
Speaker 1: buoy him around. He has a meremortal Joe Flacco. I

2710
02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 1: think he's a good quarterback, but I don't put him

2711
02:05:12,080 --> 02:05:14,320
Speaker 1: in the I never put him in the top tier

2712
02:05:14,360 --> 02:05:17,640
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in the NFL. It's interesting because he does

2713
02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:21,040
Speaker 1: take some heat and last year's season was not his best.

2714
02:05:21,200 --> 02:05:23,440
Speaker 1: He was not one hundred percent, no question about it.

2715
02:05:23,520 --> 02:05:27,320
Speaker 1: But I think people outside of Baltimore really have a

2716
02:05:27,480 --> 02:05:30,440
Speaker 1: larger appreciation than the people inside Baltimore. I mean, he

2717
02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:32,920
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl for them and did it and

2718
02:05:33,040 --> 02:05:37,040
Speaker 1: has made throws pretty routinely that not a lot of

2719
02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:39,760
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks make in the NFL. He's got a really strong,

2720
02:05:40,200 --> 02:05:43,320
Speaker 1: really accurate arm. Now he may have some other limitations

2721
02:05:43,400 --> 02:05:47,080
Speaker 1: his game. He's not a runner. But I think outside

2722
02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 1: of Baltimore, Flacco's is one of those guys like, Wow,

2723
02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:52,240
Speaker 1: I wish we had a quarterback like that, you know,

2724
02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:57,839
Speaker 1: a lot of you, obviously, and I think in Baltimore

2725
02:05:57,880 --> 02:05:59,960
Speaker 1: they tend to be like, how we got him? He's good,

2726
02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:04,360
Speaker 1: it means, you know, and they tend to put him

2727
02:06:04,360 --> 02:06:08,520
Speaker 1: in a box that I don't think is as respected

2728
02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:11,680
Speaker 1: as he is around the league. Hey, time down for NFL.

2729
02:06:11,760 --> 02:06:14,760
Speaker 1: True and false. It is brought to you by Yancey's,

2730
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:17,600
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's artists and Cheese. A couple of items here.

2731
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:20,840
Speaker 1: True false. Denver Broncos have the best linebacking core in

2732
02:06:20,880 --> 02:06:24,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's what Chris Wessling wrote on NFL dot com.

2733
02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:27,040
Speaker 1: The Broncos the number one linebacking corp in the NFL,

2734
02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:30,600
Speaker 1: with people like von Miller, Bradley Chubb, Brandon Marshall and others.

2735
02:06:31,120 --> 02:06:33,560
Speaker 1: He's got the Bears ranked second now with Khalil Mack,

2736
02:06:33,880 --> 02:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Roquan Smith, Leonard Floyd, Denny Trevethan. He's got Carolina third.

2737
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:39,200
Speaker 1: I think they might be a little low, but the

2738
02:06:39,560 --> 02:06:42,280
Speaker 1: Broncos are the best linebacking unit in the NFL. I'm

2739
02:06:42,320 --> 02:06:44,640
Speaker 1: going false, Steve, I'm going fall. So I'm going with

2740
02:06:44,760 --> 02:06:48,720
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers with Keatley and Thomas Davison, Jack Thompson. Oh,

2741
02:06:49,560 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: I might say, I might tend to agree with him.

2742
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:54,680
Speaker 1: I like the Broncos linebackers a little better just because

2743
02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:56,880
Speaker 1: of Von Miller and this guy Bradley Chubb, if you

2744
02:06:56,960 --> 02:06:59,000
Speaker 1: got because because even the one and two, you go

2745
02:06:59,080 --> 02:07:03,320
Speaker 1: to Chicago and they've got Roquan Smith, who's also a rookie.

2746
02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:06,680
Speaker 1: So both those linebacking corps have a young guy in

2747
02:07:06,760 --> 02:07:11,640
Speaker 1: the middle or on them, and Chicago just got a

2748
02:07:11,760 --> 02:07:14,720
Speaker 1: lot better with Khalil Mack. There's absolutely no question about it.

2749
02:07:14,800 --> 02:07:17,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can make that argument, and I don't

2750
02:07:17,120 --> 02:07:19,440
Speaker 1: have a problem, you know, saying, Okay, you can. You

2751
02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:23,120
Speaker 1: can have the Denver Broncos with that. But you're right, Caroline,

2752
02:07:23,160 --> 02:07:25,160
Speaker 1: and Chicago might have a little thing to say about it.

2753
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:29,280
Speaker 1: In a heated debate second NFL true or false, the

2754
02:07:29,440 --> 02:07:31,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense will shock a lot of people. In an

2755
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:35,320
Speaker 1: article that was posted on NFL dot Com, Albert Wilson

2756
02:07:35,720 --> 02:07:38,720
Speaker 1: said it. There's a quote attributed to Albert Wilson. He said,

2757
02:07:38,760 --> 02:07:41,040
Speaker 1: when you think of the Miami Dolphins, he's the receiver.

2758
02:07:41,120 --> 02:07:43,400
Speaker 1: When you think of the Dolphins, people they think they're

2759
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna come in and walk all over us. But as

2760
02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:47,000
Speaker 1: a team, I think we're gonna play great on the

2761
02:07:47,120 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, played great on special teams,

2762
02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:52,480
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do good overall. Albert Wilson says the

2763
02:07:52,520 --> 02:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense will shock a lot of people. That's kind

2764
02:07:55,680 --> 02:07:58,800
Speaker 1: of a trick question. I would say false, They're not

2765
02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:01,280
Speaker 1: gonna shock anybody. They're not gonna be that good. That's

2766
02:08:01,320 --> 02:08:02,960
Speaker 1: what I think. They're not gonna be that good. Ryan

2767
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Tannehill back, Okay, he hasn't played in over a year. Okay,

2768
02:08:06,440 --> 02:08:08,720
Speaker 1: I think they've lost some playmakers on offense, and I

2769
02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:10,680
Speaker 1: don't think the Dolphins will be that good. False. They're

2770
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:13,080
Speaker 1: not gonna shock anybody. I don't. I think Ryan Tannehill

2771
02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:17,200
Speaker 1: coming off he was an okay quarterback before he got hurt,

2772
02:08:17,240 --> 02:08:20,960
Speaker 1: and he's coming off an ACL and he lost Jarvis Landry,

2773
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:23,640
Speaker 1: his best weapon to free agency. I don't know how

2774
02:08:23,680 --> 02:08:26,640
Speaker 1: you get better. Yeah, Danny Avendola. They got Albert Wilson

2775
02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:29,600
Speaker 1: there now, and Danny Avendola is not No, he's not

2776
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:31,840
Speaker 1: a difference maker. He's not a difference maker. So I

2777
02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:34,400
Speaker 1: would say I would say false, they're not gonna shock anybody.

2778
02:08:34,440 --> 02:08:36,960
Speaker 1: They may be. I'm sure they're gonna be respectable. I

2779
02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:38,440
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna go out there and fall all

2780
02:08:38,480 --> 02:08:40,880
Speaker 1: over themselves. But I don't think they're gonna be the

2781
02:08:40,960 --> 02:08:42,960
Speaker 1: kind of offense that goes out and scores thirty five

2782
02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:46,920
Speaker 1: to forty points a game every week and and his

2783
02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, the best team in the league in red

2784
02:08:49,080 --> 02:08:51,840
Speaker 1: zone efficiency wins more games Bills are Dolphins this year.

2785
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 1: I gotta think I think the Buffalo Bills. Do Bills

2786
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:58,600
Speaker 1: are Jets? I think the Buffalo Bills. I'm have to

2787
02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:01,320
Speaker 1: revise my six seven winner Smith though, that's I really did.

2788
02:09:01,440 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are gonna goin anywhere between eight

2789
02:09:04,320 --> 02:09:06,520
Speaker 1: and ten games. Okay, I'll go seven to nine games

2790
02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:08,520
Speaker 1: somewhere in there. Anyway, we got a little bit more

2791
02:09:08,560 --> 02:09:10,600
Speaker 1: coming up, so come on back. One Bill's Live presented

2792
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:13,240
Speaker 1: by Colada Health from One Bill's Drive and this is

2793
02:09:13,320 --> 02:09:30,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. What have we learned? Presented by Advanced

2794
02:09:30,640 --> 02:09:33,360
Speaker 1: Alarm Providing Western New York's homes and businesses with the

2795
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:36,960
Speaker 1: finest and security and home theater. The preferred alarm and

2796
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:38,840
Speaker 1: home theater provider or the Buffalo Bills. We had a

2797
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:41,120
Speaker 1: great visit with Eric Wood today. Stephen I sat down

2798
02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:43,080
Speaker 1: with Eric and our brand new studio around the corner

2799
02:09:43,080 --> 02:09:45,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. Eric talked to us about learning back

2800
02:09:45,960 --> 02:09:48,200
Speaker 1: in January that he couldn't play football anymore. Here's what

2801
02:09:48,320 --> 02:09:52,440
Speaker 1: he said. I get the call in January eleventh, easy

2802
02:09:52,520 --> 02:09:54,560
Speaker 1: day to remember because my son was born an hour

2803
02:09:54,640 --> 02:09:58,080
Speaker 1: after I get the call, which was wild, timing, emotional

2804
02:09:58,480 --> 02:10:02,240
Speaker 1: on many different levels. But at the time you think, Okay, well,

2805
02:10:02,240 --> 02:10:04,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, doctor Cappuccino, but I'm gonna get some

2806
02:10:04,640 --> 02:10:07,920
Speaker 1: other opinions. And it ultimately, any surgery that would have

2807
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:10,240
Speaker 1: pulled the disc off my spinal cord would have also

2808
02:10:10,360 --> 02:10:13,120
Speaker 1: made me ineligible to play football because I would have

2809
02:10:13,160 --> 02:10:16,080
Speaker 1: never passed the physical again, which rocked my world. I

2810
02:10:16,160 --> 02:10:19,360
Speaker 1: wasn't ready to retire, had just signed a contract before

2811
02:10:19,440 --> 02:10:23,440
Speaker 1: the season. The franchise was trending up. Loved what we

2812
02:10:23,560 --> 02:10:25,720
Speaker 1: had going on in this building. So it hurts and

2813
02:10:25,800 --> 02:10:28,760
Speaker 1: it still does hurt. But I am you know, I'm

2814
02:10:28,760 --> 02:10:32,160
Speaker 1: an optimist. I'm enjoying life. I'm looking forward to what's ahead.

2815
02:10:32,360 --> 02:10:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying I'm gonna enjoy some bills, tailgates and actually

2816
02:10:35,520 --> 02:10:38,360
Speaker 1: enjoy some games this year. Eric Wood told us he's

2817
02:10:38,400 --> 02:10:40,360
Speaker 1: headed down to Baltimore this week with some friends in

2818
02:10:40,400 --> 02:10:42,160
Speaker 1: the Baltimore or head to see the Bills on the Ravens.

2819
02:10:42,200 --> 02:10:45,720
Speaker 1: Also on the show today, Great Cosal executive producer analyst

2820
02:10:45,760 --> 02:10:49,040
Speaker 1: of NFL Matchup on ESPN he joins us every Friday.

2821
02:10:49,240 --> 02:10:52,280
Speaker 1: He talked about Nathan Peterman and Peterman's command of the

2822
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense, and I think that showed up when you

2823
02:10:56,360 --> 02:10:59,080
Speaker 1: watch Peterman in college as well. I think he's a

2824
02:10:59,160 --> 02:11:01,960
Speaker 1: kid with a real good feel for the offensive concepts.

2825
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:04,160
Speaker 1: I think he has a good sense of the rhythm

2826
02:11:04,280 --> 02:11:06,720
Speaker 1: of the pass game. And make no mistake, this is

2827
02:11:06,760 --> 02:11:09,000
Speaker 1: not going to be a pass first team. They don't

2828
02:11:09,080 --> 02:11:12,280
Speaker 1: want Nathan Peterman to drop back forty or forty five times.

2829
02:11:12,600 --> 02:11:15,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully the game doesn't turn out that way because that's

2830
02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:17,560
Speaker 1: not the way the Bills want to play or need

2831
02:11:17,640 --> 02:11:20,560
Speaker 1: to play. But I think in an ideal world, my

2832
02:11:20,680 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 1: guess is you know, and again I'm not a numbers

2833
02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:26,400
Speaker 1: guy per se, but if the game played out where

2834
02:11:26,440 --> 02:11:28,840
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman could be eighteen for twenty six for one

2835
02:11:28,920 --> 02:11:31,760
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety yards, not turn the ball over at all,

2836
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:34,400
Speaker 1: and they could run for one forty or one fifty,

2837
02:11:34,640 --> 02:11:36,680
Speaker 1: they would see that as I think the way they'd

2838
02:11:36,720 --> 02:11:39,640
Speaker 1: like their offense to be. I'd take that. Where do

2839
02:11:39,760 --> 02:11:41,680
Speaker 1: I sign? I'll sign that right now. I'll sign up

2840
02:11:41,720 --> 02:11:43,960
Speaker 1: for that, Steve. It's a it's a tough game to

2841
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:46,560
Speaker 1: start with for the Bills, but it's not an impossible game,

2842
02:11:46,680 --> 02:11:48,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Oh yeah, there are going

2843
02:11:48,120 --> 02:11:51,000
Speaker 1: to be more difficult games on paper going in later

2844
02:11:51,120 --> 02:11:54,000
Speaker 1: the season than the Bills are looking at this Sunday. Absolutely,

2845
02:11:54,080 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting too, as we talked about

2846
02:11:56,480 --> 02:11:58,000
Speaker 1: and went back over the highlights of some of the

2847
02:11:58,040 --> 02:11:59,560
Speaker 1: shows that Eric Wood is going to be in the

2848
02:11:59,640 --> 02:12:02,720
Speaker 1: stand as a fan. I mean I would, I'd probably

2849
02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:04,520
Speaker 1: wear a Bill's hat or something. He's with his buddies

2850
02:12:04,560 --> 02:12:08,360
Speaker 1: who are in the Baltimore area. Imagine the mental gymnastics

2851
02:12:08,440 --> 02:12:11,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna go through that much in that game. Unbelievable.

2852
02:12:11,760 --> 02:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Unbelievable then, and for Buffalo Bills fans, it's gonna be

2853
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:17,280
Speaker 1: one of those gut wrenching times when you gotta you're

2854
02:12:17,320 --> 02:12:19,360
Speaker 1: sitting at home with your in your routine and everybody's

2855
02:12:19,360 --> 02:12:22,000
Speaker 1: got him. I mean, we should do a pole or

2856
02:12:22,080 --> 02:12:24,920
Speaker 1: a tell us what your game day ritual is, because

2857
02:12:24,920 --> 02:12:29,080
Speaker 1: everybody's got him. I mean, yeah, everybody's everybody's got their one.

2858
02:12:29,200 --> 02:12:31,720
Speaker 1: It'd be fun. Yeah, I think it's gonna This's gonna

2859
02:12:31,720 --> 02:12:33,360
Speaker 1: be a fun game. Though. I think the Bills are

2860
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:37,200
Speaker 1: game enough and competitive enough, and I do believe they

2861
02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:39,760
Speaker 1: are infused with a bit of a culture that they

2862
02:12:39,800 --> 02:12:41,680
Speaker 1: don't care what the point spread is. They don't care

2863
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:44,040
Speaker 1: what the odds makers say. Um, They're gonna go out

2864
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:47,120
Speaker 1: and uh and ball out, as Laurenzo would say, and

2865
02:12:47,160 --> 02:12:49,520
Speaker 1: see where it takes him. And I think with Peterman

2866
02:12:49,800 --> 02:12:51,800
Speaker 1: not making big mistakes, I think they'll be okay. I

2867
02:12:51,840 --> 02:12:53,440
Speaker 1: think the one thing has been the hallmark of the

2868
02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott coaching staff and the Brandon Bean regime coming

2869
02:12:56,920 --> 02:13:01,000
Speaker 1: in is the Bills always seem to play hard and

2870
02:13:01,080 --> 02:13:03,040
Speaker 1: what play well. They never seemed to be a team

2871
02:13:03,040 --> 02:13:05,760
Speaker 1: that beats himself. Now notwithstanding you know, a couple of

2872
02:13:05,840 --> 02:13:07,880
Speaker 1: times a handful, but that's not the hallmark of this team.

2873
02:13:07,920 --> 02:13:09,520
Speaker 1: The hallmark of this team is they seemed to play

2874
02:13:09,680 --> 02:13:11,720
Speaker 1: better than you expect them to be able to. If

2875
02:13:11,760 --> 02:13:14,680
Speaker 1: that happens, then this Sunday they could walk out of

2876
02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:16,680
Speaker 1: there with a win, very likely to do. So, okay,

2877
02:13:16,800 --> 02:13:18,440
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it. On Monday at noon. I want

2878
02:13:18,440 --> 02:13:22,200
Speaker 1: to thank our production assistants, George Blast, Jeff Kotak, Thomas Honalder,

2879
02:13:22,240 --> 02:13:25,440
Speaker 1: Kelly Rude, JJ Gerito, Kevin Kargis, James Robold, our producer

2880
02:13:25,800 --> 02:13:28,680
Speaker 1: Jay Harris. We are back twelve noon Monday with another

2881
02:13:28,760 --> 02:13:31,640
