Speaker 1: talking about? Six and a half months. And every week

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: we talk about quarterbacks almost a couple of times a week.

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm part of my morning routine over coffee at check

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: quarterback this week chart of the Bills and right now

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: it's out of date. Has Josh Allen, Derry Anderson. Nathan

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Peterman's website says yea, and now it's got to say,

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: I guess it's Nate Peterman, Matt Barkley, Derek Anderson, Josh,

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's out. Things change if you, oh my gosh,

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: and things have changed a lot since we went up.

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: The are at three o'clock yesterday. We have a couple

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: of new Buffalo Bills and a new starter at quarterback.

22
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna go out to practice in a moment. Chris Brown,

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: Bills insider at Buffalo Bills dot Com. It's gonna bring

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: us the view and his observations from practice the Bills

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: inside today in the ad Pro Sports Training Center. But

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot going on. Let's start with the quarterbacks. Let's

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: start with Nathan Peterman, who was the opening day starter

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: back on September ninth in Baltimore. Looks like he's targeted

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: to be the starter this coming Sunday against the Chicago

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: Bears because of the well because of the injuries Derek

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Anderson in concussion protocol. Josh Allen's still out with the

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: elbow injury, so it's down to Nathan Peterman. He looks

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: like he'll be the starter, not confirmed yet, depending on

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: how Anderson makes it through the practice week, but he

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: is not going to practice at all today. For starters,

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen is not going to play, So there's that.

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley added to the roster today and he's out

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: of practice today, twenty eight year old quarterback, most recently

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati. He signed a two year deal with the

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: Bengals back in March, but wound up on injured reserve

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: with a knee injury in preseason. Released by the Bengals

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: after one week of the regular season this year in

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: an injury settlement. Matt Barkley, five year veteran former fourth

44
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, has appeared in eleven

45
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: games of his NFL career, six starts two years ago

46
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: with Chicago, and Matt Barkley is the number two is

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: Steve said on the depth chart right now. But there's more.

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: It's not all quarterbacks. Colton Schmidt is back as the

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's punder the reason Corey Bojorkez is off the

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: roster now goes goes to injured reserve with the shoulder injury.

51
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: We believe it's the same shoulder he injured in the

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee game back in early October. So after being out

53
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: since the final cutdown when Colton Schmidt was released, now

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Colton Schmidt is back on the roster and the punter

55
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: today Taiwan Jones, released from the roster, goes on injured reserve.

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: And of course, yesterday the Bills signed the wide receiver

57
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: that we talked about. It was rumored that it would happen,

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: and it didn't. Finally happen yesterday the Bills signed Terrell

59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Pryor to the rosters. So there's some new faces out

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: there at practice that they see. It's almost like a

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: springtime practice for some of the new games. Well yeah,

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: and it's obvious too from all of that stuff, not

63
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: all of it. I'm Yorke has the injured Hunter, of course,

64
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: but Barkley the quarterback, the wide receiver, Taiwan Jones a

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: running back. I mean, it's all obviously on the offensive

66
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: side of the ball. They're working overtime trying to find

67
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: some answers on that side to try and find a

68
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: way to score points. And you know, Matt Barkley is

69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: obviously a stop gap. I mean, there's the last thing

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: they want to do is to have him go in

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: after six days here. But Nathan Peterman, who's hard luck

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: continues in his starts. He goes again, so recap. So

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: he has the day in LA Chargers last year against

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: what was, you know, one of the probably the best

75
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: pass rush team in the league at that point, with

76
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: Joy Boza and the guys over there. Then he comes

77
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: back and gets a foot of snow on the ground

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: for a second start in a game where that you

79
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: can't even throw the football. The next one he comes

80
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: out and plays against what nobody knows at the time

81
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: but his Baltimore defense that's number one in the league.

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: And now he gets a third is whatever start this

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: is for him, and it's the Chicago Bears and Khalil

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: Mack maybe maybe Max maybe not one hundred percent to go.

85
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: He may not, He may be in or out, or

86
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: he may be limited as well. Certainly he's on the

87
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: injury report this week. But you know, I'm coming in

88
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: and looking at MERV today as we come in, it's like,

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: we're really gonna have to talk about and it's like

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: not even it's not even by choice. Yeah, I mean,

91
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: he gets dumped on our lap. Really, we got a

92
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: lot to talk about, and we know you do too

93
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: as well, and we're gonna get to our topic of

94
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: the day, which deals with Nathan Peterman. Looks like he's

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: going to be the starter. But before we get involved

96
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: in all of that, and give me so our thoughts,

97
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: give you our thoughts on Peterman and where the Bills

98
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: are at let's take a look at practice and take

99
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: a listen to practice. Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills

100
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: dot Com. He's on the practice field as the Bills

101
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: just get started on this Wednesday practice getting set for

102
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. Good afternoon, Chris. I hope you have

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: a scorecard in your hand to keep track of all

104
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: the new faces out there today. Oh, you better believe it. Yeah,

105
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering does I was gonna ask coach this

106
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: in jest to some degree, you know, does Coach Kelly

107
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: get overtime paying with all the quarterbacks? He's got to

108
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: school up and get up to speed. I mean he's

109
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: still working on Derek Anderson. Now he's got a new

110
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: guy in Matt Barkley this week. Yeah, who may be

111
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the backup comes Sunday. This is a short week, and

112
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson not being able to participate in practice today

113
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: is not an encouraging sign because that means he's somewhere

114
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 1: between step one and step three of the five step

115
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: return to participation Concussion Protocol. Tremade Edmonds in the same boat,

116
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: also not practicing today, So those guys are a little

117
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: bit further away this week than Lashawn McCoy was last

118
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: week who was on the practice field for the first

119
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: day of practice leading up to the Monday. It's also

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: he had the benefit of an extra day. These guys

121
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: have one less day right right, so they may be

122
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: on the same schedule as Lashawn, just a day behind

123
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: or day ahead in the in the week as it

124
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: progresses for the game. Correct because they hadn't we don't

125
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: know where they are. They had an extra day last week,

126
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: so Leshan had the extra day, not the less day.

127
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: And that's that's where it kind of gets into a

128
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: big gray area for Derek Anderson and Tremaine Edmonds. Yeah,

129
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: and step step one is rest and recovery. Step two

130
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: is light aerobic exercise. Step three introduces some strength training

131
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: with the aerobic exercise where they can start to do

132
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: the kinds of cardiovascular movement movements that mimic football. But

133
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: they're still not cleared for non contact participation in practice.

134
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: So you would certainly hope that Derek Anderson is at

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: least in step four by tomorrow. If he's not, I

136
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: don't see a way that he's gonna be up to

137
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: speed in time. Knowing his minimal exposure to this offense

138
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: to begin with to be ready to execute a gameplay.

139
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: But we'll see Is he out there? Yeah? I don't

140
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: spot him out here. We've got two quarterbacks on the field.

141
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: By rule, if you're not at step four, I don't

142
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: think you can be on the practice field. You can

143
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: be off on the side with strength and conditioning coaches.

144
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: And I think, is he down there? No, that's Josh

145
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: Allen down there with strength and conditioning coach Eric Siano.

146
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: So I don't see him anywhere out here right now,

147
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: and no sign out there for me and Edmonds, I

148
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: would think either right. Yeah, I do not spot him either.

149
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: I haven't really had a chance to. I got Jacob

150
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: Pea talk about who's out there. Let's talk about who's

151
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: out there. Nathan Peterman back with the ones at the

152
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: quarterback today for practice. Chris, just your general thoughts on that.

153
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask our listeners and viewers said today what

154
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: they think of that. But what do you think of that?

155
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: About the confluence of events that has brought Nathan Peterman

156
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: back to number one on the depth chart. Well, here

157
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: here's the benefit for him. If anything, the benefit is

158
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: assuming that Derek Anderson isn't back on the practice field

159
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow or worst case scenario, not even Friday. He's going

160
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: to get the benefit of all the first team reps

161
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: today if Anderson's not ready tomorrow. So if he's going

162
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: to be the starter this week, at least he's getting

163
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 1: that benefit where he's taking the reps with the players

164
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: that are gonna be lining up on Sunday. He did

165
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: not have that when he stepped into the game in Houston.

166
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: He did not have that when he had to come

167
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: on for the last couple of plays against New England,

168
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: even though the game was largely decided by that point.

169
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: So I think that's one benefit for him getting the

170
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: repetitions in practice as the game plan is installed. Does

171
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: that guarantee that he's gonna light the world on fire

172
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday? Obviously it doesn't. And I know why fans

173
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: are down on Nathan Peterman because to this point he

174
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: has not shown an ability to take the way he

175
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: practices or even the way he performs in preseason games,

176
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: which to go back to the summer, was outstanding. He

177
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to take that to the regular season

178
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: game field and execute with any level of consistency. So

179
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: that's why there is trepidation on the part of Bill's fans.

180
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: I completely get it, because the results haven't demonstrated to

181
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: fans why they should have any confidence in him in

182
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: a regular season game. Yeah, I get that. I know

183
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: why fans are down on him too. And I got

184
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: a lot to say about Nathan Peterman. I'll say it

185
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: when we're finished with Chris Brown here today, Chris, But

186
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: the gist of it will be that despite what you

187
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: know Internet Twitter wise, guys might write to entertain you

188
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: and force clicks, this guy's not a joke. Nathan Peterman

189
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: is not a joke. He had a good, solid college career.

190
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: It had been the victim of some bad luck and

191
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: has had some bad play during his previous NFL starts,

192
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: three NFL starts. But we'll see. I'm not writing him

193
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: off and I'm not saying this is a total joke

194
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: that he is ready to start again, even though you know,

195
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: the guys who like to entertain themselves by getting clicks

196
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: on the Internet are having a field day right now.

197
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: I will say this if there is something interesting. It

198
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: just seemed this is just my perception, nobody else's. It

199
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: seems to me that that Josh Allen you know, being

200
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: the so called franchise quarterback of the future, has gotten

201
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: a lot more rope in his time on the field

202
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: from fans anyway than maybe Nathan Peterman has. And when

203
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: you add it all together, they've had probably about the

204
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: same amount of time on the field, and we also

205
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: know they've had the same amount of time in this

206
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: offensive system. Those two are essentially rookies together when you

207
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: think about it in terms of time on the field

208
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: and time in this system under coachable. Yeah, and as

209
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: we go back to the beginning, the only time when

210
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman was the guy that they actually chose was

211
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year this year when he

212
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: went out against Baltimore in that rainstorm and tried to

213
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: and try to get it done. At this point, even now,

214
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: he's not the guy they want out there. I mean,

215
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen would they would rather have out there. They

216
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: wanted Derek Anderson, they wish he was out there. Nate Peterman. Now,

217
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, they've had two quarterbacks go

218
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: down to injury in the last what three three and

219
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: a half four weeks, and uh, it's uh, uh it's

220
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: not it's I mean, this is you know, a lot

221
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: of this is due to the injuries they've gotten at

222
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and not and they're not even serious injuries, but

223
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: yet the guy can't go. You gotta have somebody to

224
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: go in there, and all of a sudden, the Bills

225
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: are neck deep in problems at quarterback. Yeah, he's your

226
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: option right now, your best case scenario right now, and

227
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: that's how it's got to play out. We gotta jump guys.

228
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: We're out of individual position drills, so they're getting started here,

229
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: all right, Thanks Chris. You know that's Chris Brown Bills

230
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com. And I we'd guess

231
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: that they're it's gonna be kind of an abbreviated practice

232
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: today because of the game just a couple of days ago. Yes,

233
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing too that you think about, you know,

234
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: their neck deep in problems. The Bills would love to

235
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: be back with just some rookie with Josh Allen's a

236
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback kind of struggling through his learning process. They

237
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: wish they were there, and they can't get there. When

238
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: you look at Josh Allen and obviously there's a lot

239
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: more invested in you know, a lot of assets invested

240
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen compared to Nathan Peterman. But essentially they're

241
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: they're both first timers, neo fights at the position. One's

242
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: one on your you know, a two year veteran. One's

243
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: a rookie. Right. So here's what I have to say

244
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: about Nathan Peterman, and it disturbs me. Uh. And you know,

245
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: we and a couple of things. Steve, we know he's

246
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: he has he's had. He has not played well. Let's

247
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: state that right at the outset, and we know that.

248
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: And he struggled badly in his first start against the

249
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Chargers last year. Uh, the victim of some bad luck

250
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: with the pass off DeMarco's hand and a tremendous Los

251
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: Angeles pass rush, but five interceptions and a half obviously

252
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: a very very poor start to his NFL career. His

253
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: next start, uh, he was a victim of bad luck

254
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: with the snowstorm against the Colts. Really not set up

255
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: to do anything in all of the passing games. Yeah,

256
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: they were leading that game when he came off. Yeah,

257
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: played a little bit in the playoff game, we know that. Uh.

258
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: And then the Baltimore game was rough. It was really

259
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: rough and took a lot of people by surprises. You

260
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: point out Ravens, what do you know, are the first

261
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: the number one overall defense in the NFL. So those

262
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: aren't slouches. And then Nathan threw the pick six against

263
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: Houston after throwing the touchdown against Texas a couple of

264
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Here's the thing. I believe he is capable.

265
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: I know he's had rough luck, and I know he's

266
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: had bad performances. But and this goes to my point,

267
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: with prowent of a minute ago, you see stuff on

268
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: the internet written by you know, jerk's at USA today

269
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: for the win, or by you know, a dead spin

270
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: about uha, Nathan Peterman starts again the Peterman hah. It's

271
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: all clickbait. It's all designed for wise guys on the

272
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: internet to get clicks so they can go to the

273
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: Boston and say, hey, look what I wrote. Ha ha ha.

274
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: He is not that. He is not a joke. He

275
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: is an NFL draft pick who had some potential and

276
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: some promise, and I'm not ready to write him off yet.

277
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Look, they're forced into this

278
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: situation this week. He is not the one they would

279
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: want to choose if they had an array of options.

280
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: He would not be the one that they would choose

281
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: to start, but he is the best choice that the

282
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: choice that faces him right now, and they gotta go

283
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: with it. And I for one am hoping and really

284
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: hoping that Nathan Peterman has a good, solid outing that

285
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: he you know, avoids the interception problems that he's had.

286
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't have that in his background in

287
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: his resume. I went back and looked up his time

288
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: and in college. Obviously he played for Tennessee and for

289
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: the Pitt Panthers. He was not an interception producer in college.

290
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: In fact, his interception rate during his collegiate career I

291
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: have it here was two point six. Interception rate right

292
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: now of the course of his NFL career is eleven

293
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: point one. Now, clearly it's a step up in competition,

294
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: but he was not throwing the ball to the other

295
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: team in college. There's that, and there's also if Nathan

296
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: Peterin needs to look back and say, hey, I could

297
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: play in this league. I did some good things. All

298
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: he has to do is go back to August three

299
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: performances in preseason eighty one percent completion, three touchdowns, just

300
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: one interception. I know it's only preseason, but that's what

301
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: he has in his background. My point is he has

302
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: struggled badly. He is the best option they have right now,

303
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: and most importantly, he is not a joke. He is

304
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: not a joke. And we've had callers over the last

305
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks around the show who said, I don't

306
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: think they gave him enough of a chance. I think

307
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: they did give him enough of a chance. But he

308
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: needs to play better, and if he can play better

309
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: this week, that would really go along. He's working against

310
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: a couple of things. One, he is not going to

311
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: get the length of rope. As Brownie mentioned, He's not

312
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna get the same opportunities that Josh Allen did because

313
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's the first rounder and they traded up for him.

314
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has much more physical ability to throw the football,

315
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: make make throws that Nathan Peterman cannot. But you look

316
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: back in college and people, you know you forget this

317
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: too if you laid them up without the names on him.

318
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman had a better college career than Josh Allen did.

319
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: That's why he's in the NFL. It's his physical abilities,

320
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: his arm that made him a fifth round draft pick

321
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: that the same kind of fifth round draft pick that

322
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: AJ McCarron was. But there's another thing that he's working

323
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: against other than the fact that he was not a

324
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: number one draft pick and gets a lot of opportunities.

325
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: He's on the Bill's offense where the offensive line is

326
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: not playing well. His wide receivers have not been playing well.

327
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't have much help running back. Both running backs

328
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: and the running game haven't been able to help any

329
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: quarterback that have been on the field for the Bills.

330
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has been a disappointment to this point.

331
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson took a big shot in the back that

332
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: put him on the sidelines Josh Alleny. Although it was

333
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: a late hit and it was an innocuous hit. He

334
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: was getting knocked around in Houston before he got the

335
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: elbow injury. This offensive line has not played well enough

336
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: in front of whatever quarterback has been on the field.

337
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: The receivers have not been getting enough separation to give

338
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks windows to throw into. Derek Anderson looked a little

339
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: better when he was in there against the New England Patriots,

340
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: but nevertheless they couldn't score any touchdowns. This is an

341
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: offense that's been challenged a lot of it has been

342
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: the revolving doort quarterback. They started out the season got

343
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: she lacked in the first game and a half before

344
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: the defense found itself and started giving them a chance

345
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: in games. And of course then they went to Minnesota

346
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: and won a game, and they you know, then they

347
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: went to Tennessee. They won that game in a close one.

348
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: That's going to be how they win. Nate Peterman is

349
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: not going to come He could play the game of

350
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: his life and not come in. He's not gonna throw

351
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: for three hundred yards behind this offensive lines to these

352
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers. That's just the way it is. So he's

353
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: got that working against him as well. But this is

354
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: a team that's challenged offensively and it continues to be

355
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna continue to be. You can see

356
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: the moves they're making. They brought in Terrell Prior. They're

357
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: trying to get better at this position. They're trying different

358
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: things with a wildcat last week. This coaching staff right

359
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: now is juggling everything on the table and they're trying

360
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: to find a way. You gotta it's obvious that this

361
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff is looking at each other going all right,

362
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: what's our next try you know what else are we

363
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: gonna try? They are trying everything, and you know it's

364
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: not and I've you know, in this building. I know

365
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: it's not just them trying to do it with smoking mirrors.

366
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: They're also trying to motivate these players to play better,

367
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 1: the guys they have on the roster right now. They

368
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: are trying everything to get this offense push started, jump started,

369
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, switching pieces out, shuffling guys around, everything, and

370
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: it has not worked, and so they are and now

371
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna now they're even uh you know, now

372
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: they're back to Nathan Peterman because they were forced into that.

373
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: So and I it's unbelievable to me because you and

374
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: I are here, Murphy, we like you say, we've been

375
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: talking about this since April and been you before April.

376
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: And they're gonna say they should have then they should have,

377
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: they would have, they should have, could have, would have

378
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: done it well. And now six months later, yeah, you

379
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: can make some say like this turned out wrong or

380
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: that turned out wrong, but a lot of it has

381
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the guys they brought in. It

382
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: has to do with the guys they brought in who

383
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: actually earned it, and like Nate Peterman, he earned the

384
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: starting spot. There's no way you can say otherwise. There's

385
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: no other way you can say. The guys they brought

386
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: into training camp and you can say, way they should

387
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: have had this guy, they should have had Derek Anderson.

388
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: You know, three months Derrick Anderson wouldn't sign a contract.

389
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: Three months earlier, he wouldn't. And I know this. There's

390
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of other quarterbacks out there. They were trying

391
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: to beat down the door and trying to get in

392
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: here to be a veteran presence for Josh Allen. They

393
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't sign the deal. Who do you know Derek Anderson

394
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: was one of them. And I know that. Yeah, I'll

395
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: go to in fact that yes I will. I do know,

396
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: actually I will go bound down to. But there's I

397
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: know that this. They they asked other players, they tried

398
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: to sign other quarterbacks to come in and play, and

399
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: they got when they sign and then they signed a J.

400
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: McCarron and then they you know, then they're they're ready

401
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: to go to training camp. Yeah, look, I get it.

402
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: And people want to second guess how they managed the quarterbacks,

403
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: and certainly there is reasons to ask questions about that.

404
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: A lot of what you hear I think is, uh,

405
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: it's classic twenty twenty hindsight. Well, they should have done this,

406
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: they should have done that, not knowing how it was

407
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: going to play out. Mccaren to me equals Derek Anderson, right,

408
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: same profile, same kind of background, difference in age, I guess,

409
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: but kind of they're they're equivalent. If you had to

410
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: do it all over again, maybe you would have you know, yes,

411
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: they approached Derek Anderson, Okay, I believe you. Maybe they

412
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: should have convinced him to come with money or something else.

413
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: But you can second guess what they've done. But keep

414
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: in mind it is all twenty twenty hindsight. As you

415
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: look back at what they've done at the quarterback position,

416
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: they put they've they've been in a bad spot virtually

417
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: since the season began at quarterback, where the number the

418
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: number one priority at quarterback is to look to the

419
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: future and to get Josh Allen ready, probably not to

420
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: start him in week two, but get him ready for

421
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: next year to be the starter. That was accelerated because

422
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, we're going over what's happened here already. That

423
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: was accelerating because of the way Peterman played against the Ravens.

424
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: Probably they started Jost sooner than they wanted to. But

425
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: to me, the number one priority at the quarterback position

426
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: from the personnel department, from the coaching staff all year long,

427
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: since prior to last year's draft is to identify and

428
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: then draft and then develop the future franchise quarterback. That

429
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: strategy remains in effect, I think, and until he comes

430
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: back healthy, they can't do anything about that. We'll talk

431
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: about all this with you. We want to know for

432
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: you on the Twitter poll, what do you think about

433
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman being back as the starter? And there's a

434
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: wide variety of options to choose from the Bills may

435
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: end up with him as the starter, depending on what

436
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: happens with Derek Anderson this week and practice. What are

437
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,800

00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: of the day. You saw practice. Yes, Nathan Peterman is

443
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: with the ones again. Looks like he is targeted to

444
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: be the starter of this Sunday, depending on what happens

445
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: with Anderson the rest of the week. Josh Ellen is

446
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: out again this week with his elbow, not practicing today

447
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: with his elbow, Derek anderson concussion protocol, Tremaine Edmond's concussion protocol.

448
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: Neither one of those on the field today practice. Trent

449
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: Murphy remains out of practice today with his knee. Rest

450
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: day today for Lorenzo Alexander and Kyle William. Sean McDermott

451
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: met with media just about an hour ago, and uh,

452
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: I think he was asked a legitimate question about Nathan Peterman.

453
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: After everything he's gone through and after the barrage of

454
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: criticism and uh actually ridicule that he has faced over

455
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: the last several months, how do you think his confidence is.

456
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: Here's what Jean McDermott said about Nathan Peterman's confidence. Confidence

457
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: is a challenge for every every athlete, every performer out there,

458
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: um and and to keep one's confidence high is also

459
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: a challenge, and that's where the mental toughest part of

460
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: the game comes in. We have resources in our building

461
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: UM that um you know, assist us in those in

462
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: those areas in order to keep confidence high. Whether it's

463
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: whether it's with Nader or other players or coaches. Um,

464
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's an important aspect of developing the

465
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: total athlete. Had we one to now, well, we don't

466
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: see all of these in all the primes. Yeah, you know,

467
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: I think he's he he's made and continues to work

468
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: on his craft and making the proper adjustments. And other

469
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: than that, I you know, I think he's remained the

470
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: same guy off the field, and I think his teammates

471
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: really appreciate that. I think he's right. Sean is right.

472
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: They'll keep an eye on Nathan Peterman, will make sure

473
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: his confidence is up. They will, They'll get him schooled up.

474
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: You know, I do. I never I don't know Nathan

475
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: well from what I've observed from him over the course

476
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: of a year and a half. Now, I wouldn't worry

477
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: too much about his confidency if he is extremely well rooted,

478
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: extremely well grounded, very religious, you know, he comes from

479
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: a religious family, and I don't I wouldn't worry too

480
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: much about his confidence on the playing field. He meets

481
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: to play better though. Yeah, people are starting and one

482
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: of the reasons we talk about this, Murphy, everybody talks

483
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: about this, I mean people, particularly Bills fans and the

484
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: people who listen to our show. We may Bills Bill's

485
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: Nation this year Bill's you know that we may be

486
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: more well versed in quarterbacks conversation than any fan base

487
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: in the league. Unfortunately this year. That's the way it goes.

488
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: But here's from Buffalo Wings. Who cares no no line

489
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: in front of any quarterback we put on the field,

490
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: they all get smashed. There's no o line. Also from

491
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: well wait a minut before you move on for that one,

492
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: and it's from the tweet sheet. You I know from

493
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: our discussion this morning, you think that's the issue on

494
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: the offense, right? Oh yeah, can you elaborate please? They can't.

495
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: It's like Sean McDermott has said it in a couple

496
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: of ways, but he always gets back to the same thing.

497
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: We can't. He goes, we gotta win the line of scrimmage. Yeah,

498
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: they have not won the line of scrimmage ever on

499
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: a consistent basis. They cannot make a push up front,

500
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: but in the run game and in the past and

501
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: that's that's where it begins. And then in the past

502
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: game because of that, they're they're not a line who

503
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: who really shuffles and moves really well. Even when they

504
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: pull them get out in front, they don't do that

505
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: real well. So when they try and pick up stunts,

506
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: they don't slide as well as they should. They're not

507
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: athletic enough at this point, and that's one of the

508
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: reasons they'll have some protection issues. And once in a

509
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: while they'll get you know, they'll get a hat on

510
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: a hat pretty good, and that they've gotten better at

511
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: that as the season has rolled on. You got to

512
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: admit that. But once in a while, and all too often,

513
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: somebody up front is getting beat physically. Now and again,

514
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: if you're a of the predisposition to question moves that

515
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: have been made personnel wise, you might be better suited

516
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: to question the offensive line moves as opposed to what

517
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: they did a quarterback. And yeah, I know, Eric would

518
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: surprise everybody retired in January. There were several months before

519
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: the season began where they could have addressed that. Yes,

520
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: they signed Bodine, maybe they should have done better than that. Yeah,

521
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: I know, Richie Incognito went rogue, you know, and retired

522
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: and then tried to come back. They had time to

523
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: address that too. So look, if you, as I said,

524
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: there are people out there who want us point to

525
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: that's what happened and that guy should should be held responsible,

526
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: held accountable. That's okay, and we'll listen to that, but

527
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 1: it's not. My point is it's not all about just

528
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback lineup. It's also what went on around the

529
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: quarterback receiver offensive line, right. There are other issues and

530
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: also have to you would have to in a in

531
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: an offensive in a in a draft this last year

532
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: where offensive linemen were not prevalent, there were some good ones,

533
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: but not that many, you would have had to say, Okay,

534
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: here's what it was gonna mean. You'd either have to

535
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: take Josh Allen off of this team, this Bill's team

536
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: to get an offensive lineman, or you'd have to take

537
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds off this team to get an offensive lineman,

538
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: or trade down and still take one of those two

539
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: guys off the board to get a guard or whatever.

540
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: Like there's a guy McGlinchey cup probably might have been

541
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: a guy one of those offensive lineman. There's a guy

542
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: the guard in uh In in Indianapolis that the Bills

543
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: faced a couple of weeks, so there could have been

544
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: a chance to get him, but you would there's no

545
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: doubt you would have had you couldn't get him. If

546
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: you waited until you got uh you know, to the

547
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: third round, you never would have gotten an offensive lineman. Yeah,

548
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't write. I mean that's what you're looking at. Uh.

549
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: They probably they paid uh Bodine a lot of money

550
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: eight I think eight million bucks to come in and

551
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: he is starting for him, But it's an offensive line

552
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: that's getting man handled too much. The sack fumble last week,

553
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: your left tackle, Deon Dawkins completely whiffed, I mean whiffed

554
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: on Van Noy. He came off the field for one

555
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: play off with a knee injury, got back on the

556
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: field and the Patriots smelled it. And Deon Dawkins absolutely

557
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: whiffed on that. I mean didn't even touch Van Noy.

558
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: And van Noy strip, sack fumble, turnover, field goal, and

559
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's the story of the game, the

560
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: two turnovers for pick six and the and the sack

561
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: fumble strip. The Bill's defense gave up one drive in

562
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: that game and lost by nineteen. I mean, that's not

563
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: that's not all the defense, So I mean, but that's

564
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: where we're at on this team. I think the offensive

565
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: line is an issue, and it's the one place and

566
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: we all and you just mentioned it. You can say

567
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: they had three months to get it, but where you know,

568
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: you gotta say they signed some guys, try to find

569
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: some guys to come in here. Marshall Newhouse was one

570
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: of them. He couldn't do anything. All he had to do.

571
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: What he could do is hold. You know, you might

572
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: wonder where Wyatt Teller is, but there's a kid who's

573
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: drafting the fifth round. I mean, you'd kind of expect

574
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: him to take some time to develop if he's physically

575
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: capable of being in there athletically. This is an offensive

576
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: line that is an issue, and it's not going to

577
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 1: go away because those guys are hard to find. I mean,

578
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking and we've been talking about, you know, quarterbacks

579
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: and stuff. I got. I got a couple of lists

580
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in front of me. You know, this offense

581
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: is up against it and we'll be probably for the

582
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: rest of the season. They may have a couple of

583
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: good games, but that they're an offense that is you

584
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: wish they could get to where they could protect a

585
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: quarterback so that you get your rookie quarterback out there

586
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: and he could learn, but even that seems in jeopardy

587
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: at this moment. Well, we'll see, right, We'll see how

588
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: it plays out. There's still a half a season to go.

589
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the bill's likely winding up

590
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: with Nathan Peterman is the start of this Sunday that's

591
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: our topic of the day. Mike and Rochester's on the line. Hello,

592
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: Michael ahead, you're on the air. Hey guys. Accolaid's hugs

593
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: and kisses, high fives to you guys for finally talking

594
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: about how snake bit and bad luck that poor poor

595
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Peterman kids. Well, well, we've talked about him, and we've

596
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: talked about him, and I listen, he's signed up for it.

597
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: He knows what he's in for and and he is

598
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: not going to get a great opportunity that a lot

599
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: of people are calling for. I give the guy a

600
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: real chance to play. I mean, this is a bad

601
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: situation for him as well, because he's going up against

602
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: a front seven in Chicago that's pretty good, really good.

603
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: So so let's just say what, you just had a

604
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: real chance to play? Do you know, in all reality

605
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: this isn't even really He just yet to have his

606
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: first real chance. He's been thrown to the dogs every time. Now,

607
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: let me tell you, I'm going to celebrate my thirty

608
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: first year with NFL films. I've employed here. There's guys

609
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: who are more qualified than me all day long, and

610
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 1: it's qualified, if not more. You guys that have been

611
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: talking behind the scenes. We got sent to the Buffalo

612
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: Bill's training camp his first year there is rookie year.

613
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: There were guys talking that kid should have started that here.

614
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: That's how high they were on him. And how fast

615
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: you fan, not you guys, but the fans forget. And

616
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not a Bills fan. I'm pretty neutral all around.

617
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: How fast everybody forgets how good that kid can be.

618
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: He does. He has a case of the nerves. I

619
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: would say that's about it, but he's been sneaking. You

620
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: guys are doing such a great job saying this. We've

621
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: been talking about this for a long time. There's a

622
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: radio station during the day that really talks bad about him,

623
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: and they started it. I'm not happy about it. Here's

624
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 1: the thing, though, Mike, and I'm just gonna he needs

625
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: to play better. He needs to settle down. He can't

626
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: throw picks anymore, and I tried to point it out

627
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: by saying, that's really not what was in his resume

628
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: from college. Coughing up the ball with interceptions at a

629
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: ridiculous rate. That can't happen. It can't happen if he

630
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: plays Sunday, it can't happen again. And that's why he's

631
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: been sent to the bench for the last few weeks.

632
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman, that's why he's been backing up a guy

633
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: that came in off the street, Derek Anderson, because of

634
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: the interceptions that cannot continue to happen. I don't know

635
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: what happens this Sunday, if it's if it's Nathan Peterman

636
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: and Matt Barkley, is the two healthy quarterbacks. I mean

637
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: three two and a half, three days of practice, they'll

638
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: put Barkley end if Nathan struggles. I guess, right, yeah,

639
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. I mean, and he this

640
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: is and I'll tell you what you know. For you know,

641
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: for a guy like Nathan Peterman, who is a deep

642
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: faith I mean, it's almost seems supernatural if this came

643
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: all around first, full circle so quickly for him. Um,

644
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: he is the quarterback who knows the system probably better

645
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: than anybody on the squad. So we've got that going

646
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: for him. But all of us who you know, all

647
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: those and you know, nobody's rooting against Nate Peterman, who's

648
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: a Bills fan. You want him to play well. A

649
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: lot of people don't believe he will, or you know,

650
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: have doubts about it obviously, but this is a guy

651
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: who really you think, God, you know what, Nate, Nate,

652
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: just take a deep breath and relax a little bit.

653
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: You can see you know, the you know, the nerves

654
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: on him. When we saw him play so well in

655
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: the preseason and you know, earned that job any one

656
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: percent completion, right, I mean, it looked almost as like, wow, this, yeah,

657
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. And I remember the think about it.

658
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: We remember what it looked like. It wasn't great, but

659
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: it was certainly more than competent capable. You think it's like, wow,

660
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, you think that the question was,

661
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, how long is Josh Halla really gonna sit

662
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: when Nate Peterman's playing eighty percent? You know that kind

663
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: of thing. It was almost to that point, and then

664
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, the regular season hits and and something happened

665
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: to Nate and he started any through interceptions. You cannot

666
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: do that. That is the one caveat about every quarterback

667
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: that gets him benched throwing interceptions. Asked, asked Jamis Winston.

668
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: How that's going? So, what do you think Nathan Peterman

669
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: looks like he'll be the starter Sunday against Chicago. What

670
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: do you think of that? We have a basic premise

671
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: to the show today, A good show. Thurman Thomas gonna

672

673
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: from Nathan Peterman at the podium, maybe even Lashawn McCoy

674
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: and Shack Lawson, one of the standouts defensively for the

675

Speaker 1: win for the ub Bulls last night in football, I

702
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: did my Bears board, did a lot of research on

703
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: the Bears last night, which was good because it was

704
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: only one night I removed from the Monday Night football

705
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: and there was a point last night about eight thirty,

706
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: I thought, I can't dive into the Bears yet. I'm

707
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: not over the Patriots game yet. And you know what,

708
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: about eight forty five was like all right, time to

709
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: dive into the Bears. And I did, and I got

710
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,719

713
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: they're good. And all the time I'm thinking, and I've

714
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: just remembered it about eleven thirty one of what happened

715
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: with the Sabers. My man Steve went down cruciating way

716
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: to lose a football game, a football hockey game. They

717
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: were up one to nothing for the entire up, you know,

718
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: deep into the first period. We scored and a nice snipe.

719
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: Jack comes down the left side. He comes down the

720
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: left side and snipe and we had an a Our

721
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: seats are like twelve rows up right behind the Sabers bench.

722
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: And Jack comes down and snipes this thing. And the

723
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: line of the puck going in the net was almost

724
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: right down our site line, and it clinked right into

725
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: the top corner like it was great. It was a

726
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: great shot. And then the the so we got him,

727
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean the whole game. They you know, it was

728
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: right in its deep enough it's like sixteen minute mark

729
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: of the first it was deep into the first or

730
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: maybe they count the other way now, it was deep.

731
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: It was like late in the first. So then we

732
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: go all the way through. They pulled their goalie at

733
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: the last minute of the game and they they hit

734
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: this shot that goes up off of one of their

735
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: guys down to the ice, hits the ice hard, bounces

736
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: back up, deflects off another guy up into the top

737
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: corner over the top of Hutton's shoulder. I'm like, oh,

738
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: come on, I mean I was, and then went across

739
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: our site so I saw the puck went up, down,

740
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: up again, you know, and it went I was, I

741
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: will come on. It was so awful. And then and

742
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: then and over right at the end. That was like

743
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds left of the game, right, So at the

744
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: end of the game, the saves are putting pressure on

745
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: and they get they get dumped. One guy gets dumped.

746
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: We're going crazy. It should have been a penalty. And

747
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: then they dump another guy. We get a penalty with

748
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: no time on the clock. So we got overtime with

749
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: two minute power play, right, so we're starting power play

750
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: five minute overtime. Two minutes of it. We got a

751
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: man advantage. It's four on three. They kill the penalty,

752
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: they come down, they get a two on one back

753
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: and forth as in front of hut and has an

754
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: absolutely no chance and it's like, uh and the game's

755
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: over on a goal by them. Rough one. You had

756
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: a good night, Steve, was good. We went, you know,

757
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: I went to a nice little restaurant over off Route five.

758
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: Can we say mulberries. We were in mulberries for and

759
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: it's fantastic food. It was great. We had It's just

760
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: a nice buffalo night, you know. Drive down, took them

761
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: detour on the Route five to get down to parked

762
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: over there and walked in and it was perfect too.

763
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: We had dinner. Parked, you know, paid the man his money,

764
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: walked across the lot into the front of the arenas

765
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: and I, you know, I'm one of those I got

766
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: another story about another security, but you know going. I

767
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: got the electronic tickets be both tickets went up, walked

768
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: right in, sat down, anthem, dropped the pup. Yeah. Night,

769
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: I felt like I knew what I was doing. Good

770
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: night night. I had a good night. I recovered from

771
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots game, right, got a ton of work done

772
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: out Bears. And I'll say this about you. You're like me,

773
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: and all broadcasters are probably like this, particularly you be

774
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: in the voice of the Bills. There comes time when

775
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: you got to put that other game away. Yeah. It's

776
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: hard sometimes, yeah, but there was last night was your night. Well,

777
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: Tuesday's typically the look ahead night, but last night, as

778
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: I said, early there, and I'm like, I still feeling

779
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can do this. Maybe I'll wait,

780
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: but I just did it. And havn't you Be? And

781
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: I was listening to my friend Paul Peck on the

782
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: radio doing you Be Football, and that game was kind

783
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: of inspiring, that fifty one to forty two final. There's

784
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: touchdowns all over the place. It was kind of fun.

785
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: You Be's good. I wish I'd get a chance to

786
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: go to a game. I guess I could have gone

787
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: last night, but then they wouldn't got my work done.

788
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: Would you rather have a great offense that always loses

789
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: that all? Like like go oh and sixteen with an

790
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: offense that scores thirty five? Thirty nine points a game,

791
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: or would you rather have an eight and eight record

792
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: with a defense that only allows like and you lose

793
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: six to three every Ye's a tough fun you know,

794
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: at least you'd win some games. It's fun to have points.

795
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: And again we're missing points here big time. Yeah, that's

796
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: the that's the issue. Yeah, I mean, I don't care

797
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: how they score. I don't care if they ground out,

798
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five points a game or twenty points

799
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: a game and one twenty nineteen or seventeen fourteen. But

800
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't care if they score. They got to score somehow.

801
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: No touchdowns last two games. So that's what the Doctor

802
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: Pepper is all about. For me, I'm joining Stephen the doctor.

803

818
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,120

Speaker 1: He is money un be setting records for like you know,

820
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,480

821
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: like if we our kicker was missing kicks too. Yeah,

822

827
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: Lake City, Utah. Hello, Drew, Welcome to the show. Hey guys,

828
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: just the thoughts at the end of the game last week.

829
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna see Anderson started again for

830
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill. Really, why my thoughts are I don't

831
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: I don't think this is what he signed up for.

832
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: And I now, with a head injury, I think he's

833
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: going to really be rethinking being you know, a quarterback

834
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: consultant and actually being a live quarterback in the NFL.

835
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: And looking back at the way it's taken place, maybe

836
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 1: it would have been smart to have him while Josh

837
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: was heard working more with Nathan, bringing him, you know,

838
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: more up the speed. Yes, I agree, his nerves when

839
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: he gets out there, he does break down. But Anderson's

840
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: throwing pick six this two, and I don't think the

841
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: outcomes would be any different. Well, Drew, here's the thing,

842
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: and I get what you're saying, and I think Derek

843
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: Anderson will continue to be a role model and a

844
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, mentor for both Josh Allen and Nate Peterman.

845
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 1: But let's face it, they went to Derek Anderson because

846
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: and when he was playing, he didn't have time to

847
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: mentor Nate Peterman. I mean, Derek Anderson was trying to

848
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: get ready to start an NFL game, so he doesn't

849
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: have time to set aside to do that if he's

850
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: not starting, then that's all he has time to That's

851
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: all he should do is get the other guys ready

852
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: to play, Get Nate Peterman ready to play, Get Josh

853
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: Allen ready to play, Help Josh Allen play better, help

854
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman get better, Help both those guys practice, better,

855
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: help him study. Josh got hurt. Yeah, so he had it,

856
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: yeah exactly, but he the weird base. But but the

857
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: week before that, before Josh got hurt, he didn't even

858
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: know the words, you know, of the offense. So it'll

859
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: be much different. If Josh Allen gets healthy enough to

860
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: play and to throw and to get back on the field,

861
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: it'll be much different because now they'll all have a base,

862
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: you know, vocabulary, and they'll be able to talk about

863
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: concepts together and all of that. So it will be

864
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: better going forward. And let's face it, this is not

865
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: what the Bills had envisioned how their season was going

866
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: to go at quarterback. But you know what, what Drew says,

867
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: Steve might be the path to a best case, best

868
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: case scenario here and what's been a very bad scenario quarterback.

869
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: Let's just say, for instance, that Nathan Peterman plays well

870
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Bears. And I'm not saying he's

871
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes junior, but let's say he plays okay and

872
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: there's some success either from him or from the team

873
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: or both hopefully, do you have to go back to

874
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson? Rush back to Derek Anderson the following week

875
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: if Nathan Peterman's okay and Josh is not ready to play.

876
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly the number one priority used to get

877
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: Josh the snaps. But if Nathan Peterman does okay this week,

878
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: maybe you don't rush Derek Anderson back and Drew might

879
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: be onto something. This might not be Joshua and again

880
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: murder if Josh Allen when when he returns, who is

881
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 1: your backup quarterback? Yeah, that would be an interesting that's

882
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: an interesting question to slot Peterman back in there is

883
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: the backup and let Anderson go back to his original

884
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: role of the team. Very good question. I don't know,

885
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 1: that is a good question. You know, I would love

886
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: to get to that point. Yeah, again, best case, And

887
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to go into this week,

888
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: into this game thinking we got a disaster now because

889
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman starting well. No, I mean, if you're an

890
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: internet wise guy that probably generates clicks for you, you know,

891
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: and whatever kind of funny cartoons you want to put

892
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: up there. But if you think about it seriously, doesn't

893
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: have to be that way. It's not his background, it's

894
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: not what he was in college. He has struggled badly

895
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but maybe he takes a step forward.

896
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: Let's see. Let's take a call here from Bob and Buffalo. Hello, Bob, welcome,

897
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hi, thanks for taking my call. Guys. Hey,

898
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm probably the only Nate Peterman fan on the planet

899
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: right now. But the two of the things I wanted

900
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: to point out is Steve mentioned it earlier that about

901
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: the Snowstorm game last year. I think Peterman played exceptionally

902
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: well in that game, and I don't really think he's

903
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,479
Speaker 1: getting much credit for it. And then in the Houston game,

904
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: if I've got my facts right, for almost three quarters

905
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: of the game, the Bills scored three points. Peterman went

906
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: in there for a little bit more than a quarter

907
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: and they scored ten. Now, my point is that they

908
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been in a position to win the texting

909
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: game if it weren't for petermant I. Granted he threw

910
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: a pick six. But you know what, you're going to

911
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: have to take chances in this lake. These guys don't

912
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: get open. And I mean, Brett Fire has got the

913
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: record for interceptions. He wasn't a bad quarterback, and I

914
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: wasn't bad, you know. And I heard you guys talking

915
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: earlier today. I think it was Steve talking about, you know,

916
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: you just can't get the ball intercepted. Well, that's a

917
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: fact of life. All the all the big eight quarterbacks

918
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: that were drafted this year, Mayfield, Rosen, they're being intercepted. Yeah,

919
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: you're right, Bob. But I will say this, and I'll

920
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: let's team get into this too. You can't. He can't

921
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: throw five interceptions and a half. You can't do it.

922
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: And that happened to him, and it wasn't all his fault,

923
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: but that happened to him. And that's why he is

924
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: branded with that label as the interception the turnover machine.

925
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: And it did happen in a critical time of the

926
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: Houston game. But you're right, he threw the touchdown pass

927
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: in the Houston game that you know get put the

928
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: Bills in good position in that game. So it's just

929
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: that it's it's the way his career started. I think

930
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: that sticks with him. The sticks on him, Steve, and

931
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: he needs to do something to get away from there.

932
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: And it's not listen, it's going to be a roller

933
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: coaster ride. Nate Peterman is a second year quarterback who's

934
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: only had a handful of starts and he's been up,

935
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 1: mostly down, turning it over. And he's and he hasn't

936
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: been playing on a on an offense that was gifted

937
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: up front on the offensive line. He doesn't have established

938
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers that are established on this team anyway. Kelvin

939
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: Benjamin's a veteran, but Za Jones in his second year,

940
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: He's taken a step forward, no question, but you know

941
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: he's still still learning the position. He's still nothing that

942
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: most defenses would have to game plan against his Z Jones,

943
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: So you know he's working with limited options. The running

944
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: backs are only going to be as good as their

945
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: offensive line in the run game. Now. Certainly Shady McCoy

946
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: and Chris Ivory can catch the football out of the

947
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: backfield too, but that you know how he can't do

948
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: that every play either. So you know, this is an

949
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: offense that has limited weapons, limited concepts that they can

950
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: go to and Nate Perman is gonna even if it

951
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: comes in place better. I mean, then what are we

952
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: talking about? How much better is better? It's not. It

953
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be very good to be better. Uh,

954
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's gonna We're gonna continue to

955
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: ride this rollercoaster on offense, uh, for the foreseeable future.

956
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: And it's gonna continue. When Josh Allen gets back in,

957
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: I got news for you. He ain't gonna come in

958
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden be Brett Farve. But you'd

959
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: like to see sign that it's better exactly. I mean

960
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: we said, we talked about this briefly yesterday before they

961
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: even had to make this decision about Peterman, about Josh Allen.

962
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: You hope now that when all this is going on

963
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: and all of us out, we're seeing the surface of it.

964
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: I mean we're just saying, you know, oh my gosh,

965
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: what's the next guy? You know, now they're signing Barkley

966
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: just to be a you know, stopcab. We got you know,

967
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: they got emergency quarterbacks. They're playing wildcat offense in the room.

968
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: You gotta hope that Josh Allen he doesn't have to

969
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: worry about any of that stuff. He's worried about getting

970
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: his elbow better, and he's worried about getting himself better

971
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: when he does get back in the game. Because it's

972
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: come down the freight it's coming down the dram road

973
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: tracks like a freight train. Josh Allen's going to get

974
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: back on the field as a quarterback. And the thing

975
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: you hope is that right now he is. He is

976
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: over his head immersed in this offense, in their game planning,

977
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: in their philosophies, and the defenses they're going to be

978
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: facing the whole nine yards. That's the thing. I love

979
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: the video with Josh on the sidelines, so Monday night

980
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: charting plays with the wrist band on so that he

981
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: hears the play going, looks at his wrist band halt.

982
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: You would think he's doing that to visualize this is

983
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 1: what happens on this play. This is what you should

984
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: look for, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's like

985
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: he's doing And McDermott talked. McDermot talked about it today

986
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: about what in fact do we have that sound? But yeah,

987
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: let's hear that. Josh Allen another week out and he

988
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: was asked today Sean McDermot asked, so how does he

989
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: spend his time at practice? What is he observing, what

990
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: is he watching. Here's what John McDermot says about Josh

991
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: Allen's routine right now. Yeah, it's important that Vic, and

992
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: that's a great question that we can we control the

993
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: areas that we can control aspect to his injury. And

994
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: you've seen him out there on the practice field taking

995
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: snaps albeit not under center, but behind the offense UM

996
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: at times kind of shadowing and mirroring. Um, some things

997
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: that are going on so that he stays integrated into

998
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: what we're doing. And then there's some things off the

999
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: field we're doing with him, UM, you know, to make

1000
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: sure that he continues to develop as much as he

1001
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: can right now without being under center. Is it some

1002
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: accarable as well as mental? How does that breakdown? Yeah? Both, Um,

1003
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're always trying to develop these players off

1004
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,919
Speaker 1: the field as well as on the field. And UM,

1005
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: just even just rehearsing the huddle call UM is important

1006
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: right in terms of communicating that he'll make he makes

1007
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: that call to our quarterbacks coach David Culley and then

1008
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: he runs his own play and and so that he

1009
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: we continue to get him reps again. Albeit it's not

1010
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: with an offense out there, but um, we're doing as

1011
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: much as we can to control the controllables right now.

1012
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: There you go, and McDermott says, kind of what you

1013
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: were asking about seven a little bit of an insight

1014
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: into what he's doing at practice. Josh will hear the

1015
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: play called and then kind of recite back to the

1016
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach David Culley, Hey, this is the call as

1017
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: if he were in the huddle. Question for you, Josh,

1018
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to throw for a little bit before

1019
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: he comes back. In other words, they can't go to

1020
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday and have those be his first throws.

1021
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, he's playing Sunday. I guess

1022
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: they could. I think that's unlikely, don't you. I'm think

1023
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna They're gonna have to ease him back in as

1024
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 1: far as because it's an elbow injury, as far as

1025
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: throwing a little bit, you know, maybe throw for a week,

1026
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: not play that week, but play the next week. And

1027
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: maybe it waits until after the buy and everybody's had

1028
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: a little bruise or a nick or a pulled muscle,

1029
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: or you know, had something happened to stub their toe

1030
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: even and this is an elbow, this is a throwing out.

1031
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: Whatever the injury, when you recover from it, you can

1032
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: start doing more and more and more and more until

1033
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: suddenly you live your life and not even think about

1034
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: it anymore. It's a percent healed now, no question. Josh

1035
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: Allen and the Buffalo Bills to a certain extent, but

1036
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: certainly Josh wants to get back as quick as fast

1037
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: as he can possibly get back on the field, So

1038
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be make sure. They're probably testing that elbow

1039
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: daily to see how much better it's getting when he

1040
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: can start tossing the football, when he can throw it

1041
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, and when he can't and he's you know,

1042
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna be as fast as he can get back

1043
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: on the field throwing, he's gonna be there. So if

1044
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: the question is is it gonna be is that going

1045
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: to happen on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of a week

1046
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: or is it going to happen on a Thursday, Friday

1047
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: Saturday or Friday Saturday Sunday of a week. You know,

1048
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: so when is the gonna be game ready? When he

1049
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: can actually practice enough to install the game plan, go

1050
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: through the game thing and be there. And he got

1051
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: a Buyewee coming up as well too. Yeah, so yeah,

1052
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot goes that goes into it. Everybody's different,

1053
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: every injury is different. And you know the fact that

1054
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: he is Sean McDermott has never and one thing about him.

1055
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: He tells it. He tells it. He never leaves it vague.

1056
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: Josh is out. Sometimes he leaves it vague. Josh is out.

1057
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean he said it last week. As soon as

1058
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: it Monday, he said he's out, and that, you know,

1059
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: So it's uh, whatever, however long it's gonna take him.

1060
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: And here's the thing too, the bills they got him.

1061
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: You can't put him in there before he's ready and

1062
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 1: get it reinjured, right, I mean right, that'd be catastrophic

1063
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:22,759

1071
00:52:41,640 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hello Bills Radio Network. A day update

1072
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. The Bill's practicing as we speak

1073
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: indoors today in the field house with the Chicago Bears

1074
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: game coming up on Sunday. No practice today for quarterback

1075
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson with his concussion. No practice from linebacker Jermaine Edmonds.

1076
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 1: That means it is likely that the Bills go back

1077
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: to Nathan Peterman, their opening day starter, as their starter

1078
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: this Sunday against the Bears. Now, the Bills made roster

1079
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: move for a backup quarterback, Matt Barkley, most recently with

1080
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, signed to a contract today. He was

1081
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: released by the Bengals back on September twelfth after suffering

1082
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: a knee injury in preseason. But Matt Barkley is now

1083
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: number two, at least today on the quarterback depth chart

1084
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. The Bills also made a couple

1085
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: of other moves. They brought back punter Colton Schmidt after

1086
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: putting their punter Corey Bojorquez on injured reserve. He had

1087
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: been playing through a shoulder injury suffered back in the

1088
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee game. Colton Schmidt, who spent four years with the

1089
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, is back with the Buffalo Bills as the punter,

1090
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills also signed a wide receiver, Terrell Prior

1091
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: late yesterday, adding to their wide receiving corps as they

1092
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: get set to play the Bears on Sunday. The Rams,

1093
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline acquired defensive end Dante Fowler from

1094
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: the Jaguars for a third round draft pick and a

1095
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: fifth round pick in twenty twenty. Fowler joins a loaded

1096
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: Rams defensive line rotation that already includes Aaron Donald and

1097
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: Doma Kinsoue and Michael Brockers. Packers traded free safety Haha

1098
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: Clinton Dicks to Washington for a fourth round draft pick.

1099
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have signed quarterback Landry Jones as a backup

1100
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: for Blake Bortles. They're worried about Bortos, who has an

1101
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: injury to his left shoulder is non throwing shoulder. Bortos

1102
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: is still expected to play against the Colts in Week ten,

1103
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: but Jaguars have a bye week after a loss to

1104
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles at Wembley Stadium last Sunday. One more trade.

1105
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: The Ravens traded a draft pick to Green Bay in

00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 1: exchange for running back Time Montgomery. Last night, the Sabers

Speaker 1: competition for all those guys. But that is so hilarious though.

1214
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: But the way they pulled that off, the whole event

1215
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: and the crowd, and I was and I know, this

1216
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: is when you're like this and I remember my Wall

1217
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: of Fame ceremony and all that. It really is about

1218
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: more than just the team. It's about the city. Yeah,

1219
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean the fans and because you live here, I mean, right,

1220
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean we're both lifers now, we're a Buffalo guys, right,

1221
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: so we're kind of I always tell people I'm kind

1222
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: of part of the furniture. Now. They kind of brushed

1223
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: by me, like the sofa, you know, they get they

1224
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: expect me to be right here, right, So it becomes

1225
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: about more than just you know, being of a great

1226
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: football player, and he come about being a guy, part

1227
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: of the family, about part of the part of the community,

1228
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: part of something people come up and say, hey, yeah,

1229
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: well you know that was basically part of my speech

1230
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: was you know I'm at home. You know, this is

1231
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,040

01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: is where I chose to live, and this is where

1233
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: I choose to do everything I possibly can in the community.

1234
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: So we got one guy here that just came in

1235

1247
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,000

1248
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: before or anything? Oh the night before curfew, man, like

1249
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: the old guys got like the radio TV get hain't

1250
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: got all night. And it's funny that you didn't even

1251
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: have to put curfew on the old guys anymore. We're

1252
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: just like, you know, it's about nine. We all kind

1253
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: of just dispersed the party really early. Yeah, Shack, you

1254
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: got another quarterback on the roster. What's the latest. I mean,

1255
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: Nate's gonna go in. You got you know, guys are

1256
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: kind of because of injury, guys on the defensive side,

1257
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: even how I have more pressure on them. Are you

1258
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: guys talking about that? Oh? No, we just um, we

1259
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: just want to be the best defense we could possibly be. Um,

1260
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: start with stopping the run and and and playing as

1261
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: a group as a whole. So that's our goal weekend

1262
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: a week out and be the best defense we could

1263
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: possibly be. Didn't go ahead there? I know you I mean,

1264
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: as you know, you want to look at you know,

1265
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: coming out of college, you know, sacks and all that.

1266
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: But I think this year, uh man, you have been

1267
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: really solid, not only you know, getting pressure on the quarterback,

1268
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: but um, you know, really setting the edge and on

1269
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: the run. But is that something that you kind of

1270
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: worked on coming into your like your second season mcdermot's defense.

1271
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: Oh yes, sir, I took pride of it. I knew

1272
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: I had a lot of heat coming in through the

1273
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: season with and Trent and everything, So I knew I

1274
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: had to take my game up to another level and

1275
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: be more of a student of the game, just not

1276
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: just playing football at the right So I took the

1277
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: game approach a lot different than I did when I

1278
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: first got here. Right. It's interesting you say that because

1279
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: we had a conversation with you on the show about Yeah,

1280
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna turn it up, You're gonna be a student

1281
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: of the game. And I know that you know it's

1282
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 1: different in your preparation, and you turn that up a

1283
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: little notch. You and your off season was a lot

1284
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: different that you set, you told us than it had been.

1285
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: Now that you're in the middle of the season and

1286
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: you're playing on this defense that's playing kind of at

1287
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: the time, they're playing lights out, Right, how do you

1288
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you feel about your your You

1289
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean? How do you feel about your season?

1290
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Can you tell a difference from all the preparation that

1291
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: you did early in If you can you see the

1292
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: difference in the preparation, film study and all that, what's

1293
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: the difference for you? Oh yeah, I'd tell a lot different.

1294
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: It started with my body. First. Last I was kind

1295
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: of a lot of overweight. Now I feel like I'm fast.

1296
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: I can actually move now, and then picking up things

1297
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: on film and giving little Tennessees to make the plays

1298
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: that I can find on film. So just a little

1299
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: detail like that, and staying on top of my body.

1300
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: That's the most important thing because I ain't i ain't

1301
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: been played the full season yet, so I'm just trying

1302
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: to take care of my body every day. You have

1303
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: a new defensive line coach this year, coach Tierlink Great.

1304
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: What differences is he brought to your group? Um, I

1305
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: mean he was kind of here last year, sister last year,

1306
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: so he was still around. I mean, he just wanted

1307
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: us to be attack defense and and get to the courterback.

1308
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: He loved he loved third down. So you know a

1309
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: coach like that to love getting to the quarterback pretty

1310
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: third down and things like that. But having coached Bill

1311
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: in there and where he comes from his dad in

1312
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: history and things like that, it's glad to have him

1313
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: in the room. You guys are facing get another home

1314
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: game first time in the season. You get actually two

1315
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: home games in the road. Payers are coming in. What's

1316
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: the early diagnosis of the Bears offense? Oh, you know,

1317
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: mister bishy, he liked to run a great quarterback you

1318
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: played against him in college there, we guess, Yeah, I

1319
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: played against him. He came in like three plays when

1320
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: their quarterback can't got hurt at the time. Uh so

1321
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't player against them a little bit, not too much.

1322
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: But they number twenty nine. They running backs special, both

1323
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: of their running back specially. They got some some great

1324
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: offensive weapons. So we know we got to stop the run.

1325
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: That's that's that's what it saw. It first stopped to

1326
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: run first, get them in third and loan and and

1327
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,439
Speaker 1: letting them boards eat. What was your what was your mind?

1328
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean the defense played well, I mean, if we

1329
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: could just get the offensive score some points, I mean,

1330
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: what was you guys like mindset? I mean you mean

1331
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 1: you went in a halftime it was what twelve to

1332
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: six twelve six, and you don't have the New England

1333
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: patrons who ever what thirty eight points a game or

1334
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: something like that to twelve points to fourth field goals,

1335
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: So you had to be going in the until halftime

1336
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: being like, hey, we got this, we got this. How

1337
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: did that? How was your mindset when you came back out?

1338
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Was it the same as you was going into the football. Yeah,

1339
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: our mindset was the same. Only thing we did we

1340
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: just need to turn the ball over and score on defense.

1341
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'll go. That's coach Frasier preached us every week,

1342
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: Let's get a takeaway and score on defense, and that

1343
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: could change the game for us. Let's let's talk a

1344
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: little bit about maybe as the season progresses, and I

1345
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: ain't it gets overstated. And you can speak to this too.

1346
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: Everybody says, a you're in Buffalo, you know you gotta

1347
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: uh you know, the win is a problem. The conditions

1348
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: are a problem. You live through the snow game last year,

1349
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: it can be a problem. What do you talk a

1350
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: little bit about how the weather is getting worse and

1351
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: you guys and it kind of gets more fun, doesn't it. Yeah, yeah,

1352
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: it get worse, man. And I'm still ain't used to

1353
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: the weather up here yet, so man, like, I just

1354
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: take it. I mean, I'm getting better now since it's

1355
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: my third year. But listen that that snow game broke

1356
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: you in man. You're you're like a veteran now, yeah,

1357
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: that you can't get used to it. I mean, I'm

1358
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: from the South, so I feel like that's hard to

1359
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: get used to playing in the snow. But I mean

1360
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: through this ship, I mean it feel great. You know,

1361
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 1: we had a great winter up here, you know, so

1362
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: great winner up there, you go, yeah, yeah, oh yeah,

1363
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: I enjoy it. Famous famous last words, right, that's going

1364
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: to come back to haunt you, you know that famous check.

1365
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Teams lost three in a row. Just what's the mental state?

1366
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: How do you feel like you and your teammates are

1367
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: handling a little three game louting streak here? Oh, we're

1368
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: still preparing to say we want to win every game.

1369
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: We still know what we got in front of us.

1370
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: You know, the NFL, anything happens. It's still a long season.

1371
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 1: So we're still preparing to win, and we're looking to

1372
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: get a win on Sunday night. How high was the

1373
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: frustration when you get into a game like that against

1374
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots and you know less than a handful of

1375
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: plays would have made the difference. I know you lost,

1376
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: you know like you did, but you know you'd pick

1377
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: six and then they turned the Bills turned the ball

1378
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: over in their own end game and you guys held

1379
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: them to a field goal. So you know, you take

1380
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: those ten points off the board, and if the Bills

1381
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 1: could have made one or two plays, you know, how

1382
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: frustrating is it when you're in a game like that,

1383
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: knowing that you're just so close. Hey, you can't get

1384
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: it done. It's FRESHI you know, Um, that's where we

1385
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,439
Speaker 1: work hard for you. And you know what type of team.

1386
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: You can't give New England any opportunities they pick up

1387
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: and run with it, so we knew what type of

1388
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: game was. We can't let they like to create players

1389
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: off our mistakes, so we can't let that happen at all.

1390
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 1: So it's kind of frustrating to know we couldn't get

1391
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: nothing going for us at the time. Right. Oh, you know,

1392
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: it's it's like that sometimes what offense. You know, your offense.

1393
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,839
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's been kind of the whole season

1394
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: for the Bills offense and not to put up points consistently.

1395
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 1: But then you're looking around the league and thinking, like

1396
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 1: everybody's throwing up twenty twenty five thirty points a game,

1397
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: why can't we do it? And I know back in

1398
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: the day when we play, you know, Bruce is all

1399
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: we talk about. You know, we're scoring too fast, Well,

1400
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: we're scoring points. He used to talk about, we're scoring

1401
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: to fast. You know what? The key guarding everything, so listen,

1402
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: it's never perfect, man, every team got right, every team's

1403
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: got issues. They're just different and they're name different and

1404
01:08:54,400 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's we're watching highlights everything. What can we

1405
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: What kind of defensive game plan do you go in

1406
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: for a guy like Mitch Drubisky, who you know he

1407
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: likes to pull it down he can make some plays

1408
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 1: with his legs and the guys he's got on the

1409
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: outside plus or you know, they've got some weapons over

1410
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: there and they're you know, they're they're playing some good

1411
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: football at times this year. What's the game plan against

1412
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: the guy who likes to pull it down a little

1413
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: too much and run with it like we did against

1414
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Those type of guys who know, you gotta

1415
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: have odds on the quarterback. Our rush lane has gotta

1416
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: be a lot better. You can't just run up the

1417
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: field with a guy like to just take off and

1418
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: through the be gaps. So we gotta rush smart as

1419
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: a unit, especially upfront um and just rush as a group.

1420
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: Does that take some of the stunts off the table? Oh? No,

1421
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So, like, you don't want

1422
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: to run this stunt because it does open up a

1423
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: gap or you run a risk of that is it.

1424
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, not at all. You're still gonna do your

1425
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: games and your stunts and everything. It's just gotta you

1426
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: gotta have awareness. Like the second guy that's running the stunt,

1427
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 1: he gotta have eyes on the quarterback or something like that.

1428
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: So it's about awareness, and you know you can't. You

1429
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 1: gotta not Like we're playing Tom Brady. You know you

1430
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: can take a minute to run a cop game to

1431
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: get out I'm talking Brady, because you're not gonna runs Mitch.

1432
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: You gotta get out there fast and things like that

1433
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: because you know he has sprint. Got you. Hey, Jack, thanks,

1446

1452
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,639

Speaker 1: can I never had the key to the city. You

1461
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,600
Speaker 1: should have taken ts Yeah, yeah, yeah, he got a

1462
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: key to the city. I never did. I'm gonna get you.

1463
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: It's on a contest, isn't it. You gotta have more

1464

1466
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: Oh you guys hate me if I minute. Did you

1467
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,560
Speaker 1: get a chance to watch, Yeah, I'll be out of

1468
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: the presidents many or are you too too busy sucking

1469
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: up watch the game? Yeah? I mean, like I told Shack,

1470
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean going in a half time twelve to six. Yeah,

1471
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like and I'm thinking like, what can we

1472
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we just need to score touchdowns. A couple

1473
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: of players that would give our defense more energy. I

1474
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: mean they listen, let me tell you. And Brady was

1475
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: a little off. He was a little off well his

1476
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: first couple of series. Let me let me tell him.

1477
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: They hit him, We didn't take a vantage off. Let

1478
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: me tell you I've seen him play a couple of

1479
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 1: times this year he's forty one. Once in a while

1480
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,600
Speaker 1: he asks forty he's forty one all the time. He

1481
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,639
Speaker 1: doesn't always play like he's forty one. But there are

1482
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: times now in every game they play, we're Tom looks

1483
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: forty one. Yeah. I think now if you can see

1484
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: if you can get pressure on him now as to

1485
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, right now is like the perfect time

1486
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: you can't go anywhre I mean forty one. I mean

1487
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: he's trying to get into a thousand yards over seventeen

1488
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: year career. He is run that first down I had

1489
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 1: time to run down for the radio booting style. That

1490
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 1: was tough to watch. It was like watching it was

1491
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: like you don't put on a guy so because you

1492
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,719
Speaker 1: don't think you don't want him to do that. Listen

1493
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: watching him run for that first time, it was like

1494
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: watching a backup really slow, beep beep beep, and he

1495
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, he finally and they stopped. Yeah. He and

1496
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: I saw it when they played earlier in the year,

1497
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: and I said this earlier in the week. Last week,

1498
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 1: he not always, but more often he's looking like an

1499
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: old quarterback. And I think, you know, a couple of

1500
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 1: his throws just aren't there. Man. I make some throws

1501
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: that were bad. I was talking to Evince Wafock and

1502
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 1: he was saying, I was like, you know, this is

1503
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: kind of weird that Tom is doing all this stuff

1504
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 1: on Facebook on Twitter. He's like, it's kindach on the end, Yeah,

1505
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: because he would never do that, never do that. But

1506
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,759
Speaker 1: now I think when you see guys like Lebron James

1507
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,640
Speaker 1: doing that, you know, some of the other biggest superstars

1508
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: out there, they're doing it. He's doing it, but he's

1509
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: like at the end of his career and now he

1510
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: wants this to be like, you know what I did

1511
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: this My kids can see it. Now, I'll say what

1512
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 1: I build a memory. Let me ask you this. I've

1513
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: seen it. We've seen that, particularly at the quarterback spot,

1514
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of your spot or whatever, but

1515
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,479
Speaker 1: and wide receiver. It happens. And for the guys like

1516
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: that are the really great ones like you, it's hard

1517
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: to end it well right when you were here in

1518
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 1: Miami for a year. Joe Montana goes to Kansas City,

1519
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 1: Mars Marcus Allen goes to Kansas City a lot, go

1520
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: to the Jet right Oakland. Andre ended up in Denver,

1521
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice ended up in a couple of different spots

1522
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. And then you know, uh, Kurt Warner

1523
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 1: um and you know, goes to goes Arizona was he

1524
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: was a backup for a minute too. And then there

1525
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: was Mark Brunel kind of thing. I mean, there's all

1526
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: these guys, these great ones. Occasionally you see it, John Elway,

1527
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Dan Marino, Jim ended it. Although Jim got carried off.

1528
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: You know they how is it gonna end? I mean,

1529
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: I have anything because of Robert Kraft. I have a

1530
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: hard time seen it not end really well for Tom

1531
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: Brady in New England. But I think there's gonna be

1532
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:29,639
Speaker 1: a time where he wants to play and they don't

1533
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: want him to play. Well, right now, they don't have

1534
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: another quarterback, so he's going to play unless they come

1535
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: up this. Now, there are some quarterbacks coming out this

1536
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: on their roster. The Bill could have one, and they

1537
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 1: let it go. And now that is that right there.

1538
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 1: They've maintained this because I've heard this from different sources

1539
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:55,520
Speaker 1: that yeah, it wasn't Jimmy to go to San Francisco,

1540
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:00,680
Speaker 1: it was it was the Goat, right, Yeah, I don't know.

1541
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't get involved. I don't either, and

1542
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: I never really pursued it. That's what I heard. And

1543
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: I know you think about Bill Belichick, he'd have done it. Oh,

1544
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: he's he likes all that. He would have he would

1545
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 1: have traded him. I think he would have to an

1546
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,600
Speaker 1: from your perspective running back perspective, I'm curious what you

1547
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,560
Speaker 1: think about Lashawan McCoy's struggles. He was really emotional in

1548
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: the postgame locker room Monday night about about how Monday went,

1549
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: how how bad his first half of the season has gone.

1550
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: He's missed a couple of games, he had the ribs,

1551
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: and then he had the concussion after just two plays.

1552
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,600
Speaker 1: What do you see from him? And what are we

1553
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 1: talking about here? I know, I my untrained eye says

1554
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: he can still do it, he can still play, but

1555
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,799
Speaker 1: it hasn't. It's eight games now, first half of the season.

1556
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: It's eight games, and you know what, I think, there's

1557
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:50,719
Speaker 1: really you know, you hate there's nowhere to go. Yeah.

1558
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: I think he's doing a little bit more dancing than

1559
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: he usually does because there's really nowhere to go. Yeah,

1560
01:16:57,880 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean he's at I don't want to sit here

1561
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: and talk about the offensive line or whatever, but they're

1562
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 1: just not opening the holes for him to get through

1563
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: like he usually does. I mean it. And it's very

1564
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: evident because I've had a couple of people Monday at

1565
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: halftime say why are the why is LaShaun dancing so much?

1566
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: I said, well, it's just nowhere to go. Yeah, nowhere

1567
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 1: to go? Right now? You're not seeing the holes that

1568
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: are usually there for man. Uh yeah, as a running back.

1569
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: I hate to see this hate because I still think,

1570
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, the guy can rush for one hundred yards

1571
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,600
Speaker 1: on hundred and fifty yards or whatever it may be.

1572
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 1: I think he can still control a football game when

1573
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 1: he has to. We're talking about this yesterday on our

1574
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: show in Kelso and I talked about a turn the

1575
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: game Monday night. Chris Ivory has success in Ivory just

1576
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 1: shoots the hole. Yeah, LaShaun is looking like maybe for

1577
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: a bigger hit, maybe a home run to hit or something,

1578
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and not taking what's right

1579
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: there and just getting through the hole. But you know what,

1580
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: though it's hard for me to say that, but he's

1581
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,679
Speaker 1: done this his entire career, right, You're right. He hasn't

1582
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: been a guy that really just hitting down Like now,

1583
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: Chris Ivers just one step and I'm gone because I'm

1584
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna get four or five, six, seven, I'm just going

1585
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: That's not Lashawn. It hasn't been his game throughout his

1586
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 1: entire career. Yeah, I don't think. I don't think Lashawn

1587
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: McCoy's dancing in the backfield because he's looking for a partner.

1588
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 1: You know, he's back, he's he's dancing back there because

1589
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 1: he's he's, you know, looking for someplace to go, right.

1590
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: I think they've struggled up front, and we were talking

1591
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: about it earlier in the show. They've gotten better. They

1592
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 1: were they were bad in the beginning of but they

1593
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: kind of settled it down and now at least now

1594
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 1: they're getting a hat on a hat um most of

1595
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: the time and then another. But they still once to

1596
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 1: and obviously we've been through this a thousand times. They

1597
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: still get beat one on one once in a while,

1598
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,640
Speaker 1: a little too often in fact, and they you know,

1599
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: and but there's at least they've cut down on the

1600
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 1: mental mistakes that leave somebody running through, you know. And

1601
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: plus they got three guys on one and two guys

1602
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: coming from you know what. What I've kind of noticed

1603
01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks is that even when

1604
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,719
Speaker 1: they go to the three wile receivers set, the guy

1605
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 1: that's on the slot, who's covering the slot guy, it's

1606
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: basically not really paying attention to the slot guy. He

1607
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: jumps right into the run support. And that makes it

1608
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 1: a lot more difficult. If you don't if you don't

1609
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 1: have that wide receiver threatening that defensive back, it's not

1610
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: going to work. We've said too, Zay Jones has played

1611
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: a lot better than he did last year. He's playing

1612
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: with a more confidence, He's catching more of the way

1613
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: as double the percentage of targets he's getting he's catching

1614
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 1: him he has less drops. Um, you can tell he's

1615
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:37,719
Speaker 1: a different player this year Ran he was. He still

1616
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 1: needs to get better. He's getting better that he's just

1617
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: right now. In fact, I think he's where he should

1618
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: have been a year ago. You know, I think he's

1619
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: playing with more confidence than I would have expected than

1620
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: a year ago. But he's being that's the production that

1621
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: he probably should have had as a as a young player. Now.

1622
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Certainly the struggles of the passing game weren't all him

1623
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,680
Speaker 1: or the receivers last year, Tyrod had a hard time

1624
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: to let and go this with Derek Anderson, a veteran

1625
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: in there who's getting it out on time, I think

1626
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: we're starting to see a little bit better we thought

1627
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: Jones would be would be you know what. I go

1628
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: back to Zay Jones and I was like, man, you know,

1629
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 1: he's he's played better than the last year and now

1630
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: in the last couple of games. It reminded me of

1631
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: a guy like Eric Moles. He didn't do anything. It's

1632
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:24,799
Speaker 1: first couple of years, and then his third year it clicked.

1633
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: I think at this point in their career, Eric Moles

1634
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: and Zay, I think Jay's ahead because I think Zaya

1635
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 1: is ahead of Eric Moles right now as far as

1636
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: the wide receiver presented, because Mose was a kickoff return

1637
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean basically couldn't get on the field because he

1638
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 1: would late. Marv wouldn't let him on the field because

1639
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: he's a rookie first of all, and then he kind

1640
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,679
Speaker 1: of got on us as default when guys got hurt.

1641
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 1: Me he actually got hurt and uh and then you

1642
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,640
Speaker 1: know he got on he started getting a field for it.

1643
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that because Mark, he was one

1644
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: of the old marb told me. Marv told me to

1645
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: go talk to Eric Moles because he said, if you

1646
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 1: need to go to Eric, if you don't come in

1647
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: here this year in shape and ready to go, we're

1648
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: gonna cut him. And I wouldn't told Eric that him.

1649
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: He came back. Ye, unbelievable, Yeah, Wade did. Yeah. Eric

1650
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:17,719
Speaker 1: turned into one of I think one of the great

1651
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: receivers ever to play in Buffalo. I mean, he was

1652
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 1: a great I think I think he I think he

1653
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: made Doug Flewley relevant again, man, because that year they were.

1654
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Doug would be like, I don't I don't

1655
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:35,719
Speaker 1: care about the play I'm throwing into Eric Hey. Then

1656
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: we had an interesting Twitter poll yesterday, and yesterday was

1657
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: different coming off the tough loss. But we asked people,

1658
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,679
Speaker 1: where's the best hope for this offense to get better?

1659
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 1: We offered some choices. Is that Josh Allen coming back strong?

1660
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: Is it Sean McQuay running the way he used to

1661
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: run our third choice out with the trade deadline? Nothing? Half?

1662
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: What do you think if you look for improvement in

1663
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: the second half of the season for the Bills on offense?

1664
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: Where would you look first? What can they do? I

1665
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: don't know what poor, what position or wherever would I

1666
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: would look? I look for all eleven of those guys

1667
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: would be better. Yeah, that's forget Josh Alan or Sean McCoy.

1668
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: They all need to play the better than they have

1669
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: in a group. That's what I look for. Josh Allen,

1670
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 1: you could be come back in throw for three hundred

1671
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 1: yards or whatever, but that collective group right there, look

1672
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:24,759
Speaker 1: at the points that they scored this year. It should

1673
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: be embarrassed. I should be ready to come out in

1674
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: this story. Scores all of them. I'm just and I'm

1675
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:31,759
Speaker 1: not just pointing the finger. Just a couple of individual

1676
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 1: guys you've taken. You haven't been good enough yet. I mean,

1677
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: that's everybody, right. So I got a call on the

1678
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: line here for you. Throw me for it. Let you go,

1679
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 1: Jim and Rochester. Hi, Jim, go ahead, you're on the air. Hey,

1680
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: good afternoon, everybody. Are you good? Good? Hey, Back in

1681
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:50,799
Speaker 1: the glory years Urban you used to come to Rochester

1682
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 1: for a TV show. Oh yeah, I would come every week.

1683
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: I'd come out from Rochester to Buffalo to pick you

1684
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: up and bring it back to Rochester. You do your

1685
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: show and then and then drive you back to Buffalo again.

1686
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: And very often it was with one of the guys.

1687
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 1: And so it was a great chance to uh to

1688
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: meet a bunch of the players. And I will admit

1689
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 1: I was not too much of a football fan when

1690
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: I started doing that job. But every week Thurman would

1691
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: hop into car and say, so what do you think

1692
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: of the game? And I figured out very quickly, I'm

1693
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: better start watching these things. And I will admit that

1694
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 1: part of it is when you stood in the You know,

1695
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 1: when you're watching the game and you've stood in one

1696
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 1: of those guys living rooms. Uh, you know, the passion

1697
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 1: in the commitment to the game builds very very quickly.

1698
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 1: But I've I've been a diehard fan ever ever since.

1699
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that was that was great. But the reason

1700
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 1: for my call was, I remember because you had your

1701
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: first daughter and I had just had my son, so

1702
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: they were they were within a few months of each other,

1703
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: and I remember saying, boy, we got to set these

1704
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: two up when they're old enough. I saw that little

1705
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: video on Twitter from your from your beautiful family, and

1706
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,799
Speaker 1: I saw those girls, and it maybe regretting not following

1707
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: because those kids are beautiful, definitely gorgeous. Family. Appreciate it.

1708
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Thanks you what your kids think

1709
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 1: about the weekend and about Monday night. I'll tell you what.

1710
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: Letherm had the best side out of all my kids.

1711
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: Out of all my kids, I mean he remember you playing? No, No,

1712
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:32,840

1713
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:36,160

1714
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: was born in seventeen years old, so he never got

1715
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 1: just YouTube and all the other stuff. He never got

1716
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,799
Speaker 1: to actually see it. So for that moment to happen,

1717
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: to go through an entire week of him being interviewed. Man,

1718
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, because early on Angel Olivian Anica they were

1719
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 1: doing the interviews, you know, talking about me playing football

1720
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: or whatever. So he finally got his chance and uh, yeah,

1721
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,280

Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's

1769
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive. Genre of be Steve Tasker,

1770
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 1: Bill's practice. They cut short practice, they see, which makes sense.

1771
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: They just played two nights ago, right, they didn't do

1772
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: anything yesterday, and I'm sure tomorrow's practice will be long.

1773
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,559
Speaker 1: That's what you get with the shortage. The emphasis for

1774
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 1: every team, not just this one. The emphasis has turned

1775
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 1: into because they've gotten good results out of it. The

1776
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: emphasis has turned into recovery. Yeah. A good portion of

1777
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 1: the new building they're building here next to us is

1778
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: devoted to athlete recovery, and as the season goes along,

1779
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,120
Speaker 1: that becomes more critical, right, Yeah, I mean it used

1780
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,080
Speaker 1: to be. And I guess this is where they found out.

1781
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean, back before my era, my air in a

1782
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: little bit after, you know, you spent the whole week

1783
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: healing up, you know, getting the soreness out and you know,

1784
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: getting the bumps. And it wasn't even that it was

1785
01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 1: just soreness from exertion. It was you know, contact, it

1786
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 1: was you know, the violence. And now they've spent they've

1787
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 1: learned that by spending more time and devoting more energy

1788
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: and technology to recovery, they're getting better results on the field.

1789
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,520
Speaker 1: Let's take a few phone calls here. Let's go to

1790
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,799
Speaker 1: Tom in Buffalo. Go ahead, time you're on the air. Hello,

1792
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 1: the sentiment. Nice hearing from you too. Well. I want

1793
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: to like to have congratulated Thermin on his retirement number,

1794
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 1: and I to thank him for giving him to give

1795
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,640
Speaker 1: him the number to the bills mafia. I wish they

1796
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: would have broadcast his whole speech. Yeah they never do that. Yeah,

1797
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 1: they don't have time to do that. But yeah, I

1798
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: get you. Yeah, Well, Steve, this is the first time

1799
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:18,679
Speaker 1: you've been nominated for the Haul, is it? Uh? No? Yeah, Well,

1800
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:21,280
Speaker 1: if you ever get elected, do you think the Bills

1801
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: will retire your number? Absolutely not? Okay, anyway, is Shanks

1802
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: still one of the last holdouts from the Rex Ryan error? Uh?

1803
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 1: There's probably a couple of others. Kyle Williams. Well, he

1804
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,599
Speaker 1: wasn't drafted by the Rex Ryan area, if that's what

1805
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 1: you mean. So that's hard. Yeah, the guys that were

1806
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: drafted by Rex Rex only had the two years heresh.

1807
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't know. We look

1808
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: it up? Should we look it up? And anyway? Anyway, Yeah,

1809
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:50,679
Speaker 1: look it up. Okay, little homework, go ahead? What else?

1810
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,719
Speaker 1: He got ord to a top five draft pick. Ever

1811
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:57,280
Speaker 1: since in Minnesota game, the offense has gone south, even

1812
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. I don't know why. Maybe the defensive

1813
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: coordinators have figured out the game plan whatever. I don't know.

1814
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 1: But we could have been Green Bay. We should have

1815
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 1: eaten Houston and Nicolds, and we could have beaten the Patriots.

1816
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 1: But we gotta score points. You gotta score at least

1817
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 1: twenty points to win a game. Well, so, Tom, I

1818
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 1: mean you can say you should have beaten Green Bay,

1819
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:26,240
Speaker 1: but you lost twenty two to nothing. You can say

1820
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: you should have beaten Indianapolis. I don't know how what

1821
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:31,599
Speaker 1: you get out of that game that lets you think

1822
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna You know that a couple of Houston and

1823
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 1: indiy said we should have beaten Houston, should have beaten Indie. Yeah, hot,

1824
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 1: and yeah. I don't know how you get thirty seven

1825
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:47,439
Speaker 1: to whatever height. I mean, that's whatever you can say that, though,

1826
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 1: I know they should have been playing better. If they

1827
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 1: can score points, they'd be playing better. Perhaps their one

1828
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 1: lost record would be better. I gotta think they would

1829
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 1: have beaten Houston. I'm with you on that. I've said

1830
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 1: many times I think that's a game that got away

1831
01:30:57,160 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 1: from him. But other than that, I mean, you're right,

1832
01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 1: the offense has held this team back. So I'm thinking

1833
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking on the second half of the season, these

1834
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 1: are all tough games. Now, Actually, that's right, Tom, that's

1835
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 1: the easiest schedule left in football. We had the Bills

1836
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,439
Speaker 1: of to this point have had the most difficult schedule

1837
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 1: in all of the NFL, and going the rest of

1838
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 1: the way, it's the easiest. Um. Now, that's not to

1839
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 1: say that they can win without scoring points. They cannot.

1840
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: You're right about that time. They need touchdowns they haven't had.

1841
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 1: You know what, We've got seven touchdowns and eight games.

1842
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 1: It's not gonna that's not gonna be enough to be

1843
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: in anyone. But the schedule does loosen up. Five of

1844
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 1: the last eight are at home. Now. Um, yeah, it'll

1845
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 1: get a little bit better schedule wise, but they got

1846
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 1: to get a lot better plane wise. A break here,

1847
01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:41,719
Speaker 1: we're back with more. We're gonna talk more about Nathan Peterman.

1848
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 1: What do you think about the fact that Peterman might

1849
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: have to start again? Give us a call. Eight h

1854
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 1: The update from One Bill's Drive. Practice is over. An

1855
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:12,280
Speaker 1: early end time for today's Bill's practice indoors in the

1856
01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 1: field house. No practice today for quarterback Derek Anderson with

1857
01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 1: his concussion. No practice today for a quarterback excuse me,

1858
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen with his elbow. So first team reps

1859
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,080
Speaker 1: were taken by Nathan Peterman. It looks like he's going

1860
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 1: to be the Bill starter on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

1861
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:31,840
Speaker 1: The Bills added another quarterback to the roster today as well,

1862
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,600

01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:40,479
Speaker 1: in early September with an injury settlement. Five year veteran,

1865
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:42,799
Speaker 1: he's played in just eleven games in his NFL career,

1866
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley is now a Buffalo Bill and may have

1867
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:49,719
Speaker 1: to back up Nathan Peterman if Peterman gets the start. Also,

1868
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:52,639
Speaker 1: the Bills made well They made room for Barkley by

1869
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: putting running back time on Jones on injured reserve with

1870
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 1: his neck injury it's kept him out the last few weeks,

1871
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 1: and the Bills brought back Colton punter. Colton Schmidt, veteran

1872
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 1: punter who spent four seasons a last four with the Bills,

1873
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 1: released on the final cutdown day back in September, is

1874
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,799
Speaker 1: back as a Buffalo Bill. Rookie punter Cory but Harkes

1875
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,080
Speaker 1: was put on aged reserve. He'd been playing through a

1876
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:14,760
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, so Horkz out, Colton Schmidt is in and

1877
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:18,120

01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:17,120

1922
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,160
Speaker 1: and the rest of his professional career. Yeah, you know,

1923
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 1: it's another game I think for another opportunity. Um, if

1924
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 1: that's the case, and um, you know, ready to go

1925
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: out and perform the least two times you got to

1926

01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:42,519

1930
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 1: comfortability within our system with our guys. It's huge. And

1931
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, got two more good days of practice that

1932
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 1: we gotta put in biggy backing office. So I know

1933
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 1: the mindset is usually the next game, But do you

1934
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 1: have any perspectives of this could be your last opportunity

1935
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 1: to make anything was professional? Uh, you know, I take

1936
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 1: it one day at a time. So, UM, I know

1937
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 1: we've got a great challenge ahead of us here, um

1938
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 1: with the Bears, and I'm I'm excited. You know, a

1939
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:12,160
Speaker 1: great defense and um, you know whoever it is, you know,

1940
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: I'll be ready to regardless as a talk. What do

1941
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: they look like on the field, great, Uh, you know,

1942
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 1: very talented. Um, obviously they got a great pass rush. Um,

1943
01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, great in the back end as well, Um,

1944
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 1: athletic linebackers and um, you know they're good, good defense.

1945
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:33,559
Speaker 1: So we got to be in our best game, uh

1946
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:39,320
Speaker 1: to beat them. Going back at precently games to do

1947
01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:42,799
Speaker 1: the mol they're probably playing super Vanilla. Is there anything

1948
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:46,200
Speaker 1: to be taken from that at least to having good

1949
01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: teams to feel pay review? Yeah, you know it's kind

1950
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 1: of day one install probably for both teams. But I'm

1951
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:53,760
Speaker 1: still good, I guess, you know, just to get a

1952
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 1: feel for it. And um, you know, watch a lot

1953
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:58,760
Speaker 1: of films, so you know, there's multiple things you can

1954
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 1: take away from a lot of games. Opping up the

1955
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 1: numbers are the bus you're throwing ten interceptions at the

1956
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,240
Speaker 1: time that you've had to play. I'm sure you've gone

1957
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 1: back and looked at it all. I mean, what do

1958
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:12,680
Speaker 1: you attribute the problems to it? If you had to

1959
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 1: dissect it, you know, as you know, ten picks in

1960
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,680
Speaker 1: eighty four attempts is a lot of interceptions cherish or

1961
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:22,040
Speaker 1: set some light out what you're seeing. Yeah, you know, Um,

1962
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a while back, honestly. I mean

1963
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 1: each one's got their own story and own lessons from it.

1964
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing is Um, I've

1965
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 1: taken a lot of those lessons, you know, I've learned

1966
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 1: from them and moving forward, you know, Um, that's really

1967
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 1: the goal is to learn from them and be better.

1968
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:46,840
Speaker 1: You left the fields, the field and easton, did you

1969
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,880
Speaker 1: expect or you know how down? But it might you

1970
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: have been and do into space you would get this

1971
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:58,479
Speaker 1: new opportunity here today. Yeah. So, um, you know I'm

1972
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: still here, and you know every time you're here, every

1973
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 1: time you step on this field, um, and you're in

1974
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 1: this building every week. You know, I'm always ready. So

1975
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: I was ready last week and I'm gonna be ready

1976
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:11,799
Speaker 1: again this week. What is you saying about this organization

1977
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:14,720
Speaker 1: of people inside this building to stick with you and

1978
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 1: he's still confidence in you after everything moving Yeah, you

1979
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: know it says a lot and thankful to be here. Um,

1980
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:22,720
Speaker 1: as a bill for sure. UM, A lot of a

1981
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 1: lot of great relationships in this building, and I'm gonna

1982
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 1: go out there and do my best. Guess win. Why

1983
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 1: do you think you're performance in the preseason hasn't been

1984
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:33,760
Speaker 1: able to carry over the records? Um? You know, I

1985
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 1: think it's just opportunities, you know, and chances that you know,

1986
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:38,920
Speaker 1: it goes one way. It's it's football, you know, you

1987
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:41,320
Speaker 1: can't predict how it's gonna go. UM Ball doesn't bounce

1988
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 1: your way sometimes and you just got to go ahead

1989
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 1: and move forward and learn from the mistakes and move on.

1990
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 1: Sean was talking about UM players confidence. He said, within

1991
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 1: this building, there's some kind of coaching that goes along

1992
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: with that. Is that some of the programs that maybe

1993
01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 1: you've taken advantage of what do you mean coaching like

1994
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 1: almost like a psychologist is kind of what he was

1995
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:06,679
Speaker 1: alluding to, and that you know, to try to help players,

1996
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, and in dealing with compo stuff. Yeah, you know,

1997
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 1: there there's definitely um a lot of resources, I guess

1998
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:14,600
Speaker 1: in this building, and UM, I think we've got a

1999
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 1: great support staff, you know, with our chaplain len um

2000
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 1: and and multiple guys. So UM, you know, I think

2001
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 1: it's it's important and as a professional athlete, you gotta

2002
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,120
Speaker 1: be able to move on and keep your confidence high,

2003
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:26,960
Speaker 1: and especially as a quarterback, and that's the most valuable

2004
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 1: asset I'd say as a quarterback is confident. So um,

2005
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:32,760
Speaker 1: it's important to keep that high maybe along those lands

2006
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 1: to get back to change questions. You know, again, you've

2007
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 1: seen it in the preseason. Um, what's specifically you found

2008
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 1: most challenging or maybe different about regular season actions? And

2009
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: that's led to the resolves that you know, the place

2010
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: for what's the pig challenge, what's the hurdle? Maybe even

2011
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: football terms what you're trying to Yeah, well, um, I

2012
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 1: think it's just you really just been different scenarios that happen.

2013
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean, um, they're different in the regular season the

2014
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 1: preseason for sure. But at the same time, football is football.

2015
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 1: Like I said, the ball bounces your away sometimes and

2016
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:12,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't the other other times. You know, Um, uh,

2017
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: mistakes are in the past. You know, I've learned from them.

2018
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:17,680
Speaker 1: I've taken them to heart for sure, um, and I'll

2019
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 1: never forget them. But at the same time, I'm gonna

2020
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:22,240
Speaker 1: learn from and move on. Um. And you know, football

2021
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:24,920
Speaker 1: it's a new game every week a point do you

2022
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 1: just go sure this stuff that's happened, I don't you know, UM,

2023
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,639
Speaker 1: I think that uh, you know, stuff happens in life,

2024
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, whether good or bad. Um, and how you

2025
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: react to it really is is I think what makes you, um,

2026
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,679
Speaker 1: who you are. And I think that's that's what it's

2027
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:49,680
Speaker 1: made me who I am, UM, everything I've been through

2028
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 1: in the past, and um, you know, that's that's who

2029
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 1: I am staying in front of you today and uh,

2030
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:56,639
Speaker 1: you know, trying to to go out and then learn

2031
01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:00,519
Speaker 1: from those things and be better. I know you'll like

2032
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:03,640
Speaker 1: you're the same guy no matter what happens to you

2033
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 1: kind of little Have you always been like that? What

2034
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 1: do you attribute that to life? Yeah? I have absolutely,

2035
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 1: Um you know, I definitely attributed it to my faith absolutely,

2036
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 1: Um to be even kieled and um, you know, to

2037
01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 1: know that God's with you through it all, you know,

2038
01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 1: And uh, it's life. I mean, if anybody's here that's

2039
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:23,639
Speaker 1: been through a bunch of perfect things in their life

2040
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 1: and nothing's ever gone wrong, then I'm extremely happy for you.

2041
01:41:26,240 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 1: But that doesn't happen very much to the people I know,

2042
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,680
Speaker 1: and um, you know, obviously to me, so, um, you know,

2043
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for for all the opportunities I've been through, Um,

2044
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 1: all the lessons I've learned, and um, you know, ready

2045
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:41,439
Speaker 1: to be better from them. But it doesn't have to

2046
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 1: even help like on the football field. I mean it

2047
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:46,040
Speaker 1: did be in college, but it has we get up

2048
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 1: the NFL love. Yeah it hasn't yet, but shouldn't it. Yeah,

2049
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't know the future. If you do, and um,

2050
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 1: you know you tell me, but uh, you know, my

2051
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,680
Speaker 1: my thing is I take it one day at a time. Um,

2052
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm to go win a game and be my best

2053
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:04,240
Speaker 1: every time I take that field, and I'm thankful every

2054
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 1: time I take that field. It's Peterman answering questions for

2055
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:10,560
Speaker 1: the media. I liked a lot of that. You know

2056
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 1: what I especially like Steve was the smile on his face.

2057
01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: I really do you know, don't worry about his confidence.

2058
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about at all. He is even keeled,

2059
01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:21,400
Speaker 1: as he said, he is confident. He has played poorly.

2060
01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 1: He acknowledges that. Who you could not avoid that, But

2061
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:26,800
Speaker 1: I like what he had to say. But I'm more

2062
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,320
Speaker 1: like what the way he said it, Like, Hey, I

2063
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:31,679
Speaker 1: don't know the future you know, I don't know. Yeah,

2064
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm confident, he said. Somebody asked him, do you ever

2065
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,160
Speaker 1: worry about why me? You know, why did all this

2066
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 1: best stuff happened to me? He's like, no, I don't

2067
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:39,680
Speaker 1: worry about that. I don't think he does. So I

2068
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:41,800
Speaker 1: liked his answers, but I liked his demeanor and the

2069
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:44,760
Speaker 1: way he handled those questions more than anything there. He said,

2070
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, how how many of us have been through

2071
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:49,519
Speaker 1: a perfect life. You know, everything goes, everybody has bad

2072
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:51,560
Speaker 1: stuff that happens to him, and and some of it

2073
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:53,559
Speaker 1: and and all the stuff you talk about in football.

2074
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 1: You can certainly say, hey, it's self inflicted. He didn't

2075
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:59,600
Speaker 1: play very well. But you know, people say, how you

2076
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: and all the snark on what we knew? I mean

2077
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 1: we we came in today kind of looking at each

2078
01:43:04,720 --> 01:43:06,160
Speaker 1: other like you knew all the snark that's going to

2079
01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 1: come from it, and some of it from the national media.

2080
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: Forget about Twitter and the trolls that you know that

2081
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:15,120
Speaker 1: that populate our timeline. But you knew there was there

2082
01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be some snark. But the thing about it

2083
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,680
Speaker 1: is the vetting process that gets these guys into the

2084
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 1: National Football League is such that you got to have

2085
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 1: confidence that somewhere inside that whatever player you're talking about,

2086
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:27,960
Speaker 1: even if you go back as far as Ryan Leaf

2087
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 1: and some of the guys that have been colossal busts,

2088
01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 1: you go back in there and you say, there's something

2089
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:35,839
Speaker 1: in that guy that allowed them to even be considered

2090
01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 1: to play in the league, let alone coming out and

2091
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:39,640
Speaker 1: then earning a spot, or earning a second chance and

2092
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,599
Speaker 1: earning a third chance, earning whatever chance they have at

2093
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: making something out of themselves. We've got people chiming in

2094
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: on the Twitter trying line about you know, Terry Bradshaw

2095
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 1: throwing forty six interceptions in his first twenty four games

2096
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:53,800
Speaker 1: and he ended up with four rings. You know, I

2097
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 1: don't think Nathan Peterman's gonna be the next Terry Bradshaw.

2098
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:03,360
Speaker 1: But you know what you would like to see a bills.

2099
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 1: You'd like to see it. You'd like to see it,

2100
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, play like a candy. You know. Yeah, all right,

2101
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: your mike's out. I've been trying to do that for months. Right,

2102
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:25,680
Speaker 1: I've had enough of them. Finally, Hey, let's take some

2103
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 1: phone calls as we talk about the quarterback situation. Nathan

2104
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 1: Peterman's gonna start again, what do you think eight three

2105
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 1: fifty toll? Fred, don't come out of here and fix

2106
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 1: Seves Mike, give him a few minutes. Let's take a

2107
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 1: call from Joe and Tanawan to Hello, Joe, welcome to

2108
01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: the show. Hi guys, I never got my Hall of

2109
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 1: Fame vote in for Steve. Oh you're voting for him

2110
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 1: right now, Steve Tasker for the Hall of Fame, of course. Okay,

2111
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:49,360
Speaker 1: there it is sixty four or up to sixty four votes.

2112
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:53,120
Speaker 1: I still don't think my Mike's working personality alone. Okay,

2113
01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 1: there I am. Hall of Fame personality might be better.

2114
01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:58,800
Speaker 1: You might get more votes if the mic doesn't work. Yeah, yeah,

2115
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:03,639
Speaker 1: there you go. All right. My uh, everybody at work

2116
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 1: always picks on Peterman. I actually think it's uh, does

2117
01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:14,640
Speaker 1: he even get to call a play? I mean, you

2118
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:17,000
Speaker 1: just gotta go with the first thing that's told him,

2119
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:20,599
Speaker 1: Like on the pick six, that seem like a call. Well, Joe, listen,

2120
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,719
Speaker 1: don't think Joe. Don't think Nate Peterman is getting treated

2121
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 1: way differently than every other quarterback that goes in the game.

2122
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he's getting the same shot that every quarterback would.

2123
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:30,920
Speaker 1: He's getting the play called to him. In the same

2124
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 1: way it's getting called to Josh Allen or Derek Anderson

2125
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: or anything like that. They have called plays that are

2126
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:38,200
Speaker 1: called in and given whatever the situation might be or

2127
01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:41,880
Speaker 1: whatever offense they're running, they have certain checks they need

2128
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 1: to make, certain things they need to do for that

2129
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:47,680
Speaker 1: play to be successful. Either it's a protection call, or

2130
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: it's a motion or you know, anything even as simple

2131
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:55,200
Speaker 1: as the snap count with a shift. So he's got

2132
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 1: some things he's responsible for doing every play, let alone

2133
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:02,560
Speaker 1: execute the play. And that's I'm talking pre snap, so

2134
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:05,800
Speaker 1: you know he's got you know. So, yeah, he does

2135
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 1: not call No quarterback in the NFL really, maybe a

2136
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:12,240
Speaker 1: handful of the ones that you could name, Drew Brees,

2137
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady, uh, even Ben Roethlisberger gets plays

2138
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:19,680
Speaker 1: radio into himself. So typically it worked like this, right,

2139
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:22,120
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. Here's the play. Here are

2140
01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:25,040
Speaker 1: your options quarterback, whether it's Nathan or Josh or Derek.

2141
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 1: Here are your options. Boom boom, boom, one, two three.

2142
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:30,960
Speaker 1: And they don't tell him you must throw very rarely.

2143
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:32,599
Speaker 1: I think they say you must throw to this guy

2144
01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:34,680
Speaker 1: on the outside, but he makes his reading if that

2145
01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:36,639
Speaker 1: guy's open, if you think that's the best chance. That's

2146
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:38,800
Speaker 1: what he does now. That passed to the outside has

2147
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:42,519
Speaker 1: been the issue right certainly was against Houston for Nathan Peterman.

2148
01:46:42,560 --> 01:46:45,519
Speaker 1: Maybe they can avoid that play and even better read

2149
01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:47,560
Speaker 1: for him. As far back as the Charger game that

2150
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:49,439
Speaker 1: that quick out is the one that he gets rid of,

2151
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 1: and I think defenses are going to try and bait

2152
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 1: him into making that throw. They're gonna play off the

2153
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: guy and attack the route. They're gonna try and get

2154
01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 1: a good pass rush and then know the Chicago Bears

2155
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:00,880
Speaker 1: can rush it. They're gonna try and bade him into throws.

2156
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 1: That's what defenses do. That's what happened in the Los

2157
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:08,320
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers game twelve months ago. They started getting pressure

2158
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:11,960
Speaker 1: on him and they anticipated a hot read on a

2159
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:15,800
Speaker 1: breakout blitz. Peterman goes to his hot read and the

2160
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:18,400
Speaker 1: defense expects it because they know they've got they're sending

2161
01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 1: pressure and the pressure has been getting home. They're not

2162
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 1: going to retreat. They know the ball's got to come

2163
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:24,880
Speaker 1: out right now, so they're not gonna even honor a

2164
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:28,720
Speaker 1: deep throw. That's the problem in situations like that. But

2165
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:32,720
Speaker 1: when the talking about what happens with the quarterback is

2166
01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 1: that he'll get the play called, and depending on what

2167
01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:37,920
Speaker 1: offense you're in, he'll look at the wrist band and

2168
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:40,960
Speaker 1: there'll be a formation and motions and shifts that will

2169
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 1: go with it. Also, if he sees a front or

2170
01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 1: a defensive secondary look, they will have automatic check twos

2171
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:49,880
Speaker 1: where he'll say, okay, if they're gonna show us this,

2172
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 1: run this look defensively. If you think you're getting this defense,

2173
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,600
Speaker 1: switch to this play or switch to this concept in

2174
01:47:56,680 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 1: the passing route or the receivers will be tasked with listen,

2175
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 1: if they give us this front, don't run them out

2176
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:05,639
Speaker 1: like this, run up like this. There's adjustments that happen

2177
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 1: on the fly. Some of them are by the quarterback,

2178
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:10,600
Speaker 1: some of them are by the wide receivers, and some

2179
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 1: of them are pre snap adjustments by the offensive line

2180
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:17,640
Speaker 1: to adjust to an anticipate in rush. So there's a

2181
01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:20,040
Speaker 1: lot going on. And for those of you who have

2182
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:22,719
Speaker 1: never heard or been up close or maybe never picked

2183
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:25,920
Speaker 1: up on the TV broadcast, before every snap in an

2184
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:32,000
Speaker 1: NFL game, on the field, there's probably two three, maybe

2185
01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: four guys on the field, two offensively and two defensively

2186
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 1: that are screaming and then they might get replied to

2187
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:40,840
Speaker 1: by other offensive or defensive players in reply to what

2188
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:43,800
Speaker 1: they just got screamed at, and it's communication about an

2189
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:46,760
Speaker 1: adjustment that that's going on pre snap, something that they're

2190
01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:48,760
Speaker 1: going to change their defensive call to this, or they're

2191
01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 1: gonna change their stunt to this, or they're gonna change

2192
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:54,120
Speaker 1: their coverage to that. All that's going on pre snap.

2193
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 1: It's not just the quarterback out there calling hut hut

2194
01:48:56,680 --> 01:48:58,840
Speaker 1: hut like that. There's a lot of stuff pre snap

2195
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 1: going and it's all about the thinking and the anticipation

2196
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 1: of what they're looking at. So it's complicated, which is

2197
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:07,599
Speaker 1: why it's hard to do. Parents have a good defense.

2198
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:09,960
Speaker 1: There's seventh overall in the NFL. The Bills are six,

2199
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:13,280
Speaker 1: and they have by my count, what five first rounders

2200
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:15,720
Speaker 1: on that defense. You know some of the names, Khalil Mack,

2201
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:19,640
Speaker 1: they have Roquan Smith, this year's first rounder, a very

2202
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:23,639
Speaker 1: good linebacker. Both starting corners are former first rounder first

2203
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:27,519
Speaker 1: rounders Kyle Fuller and Prince Amukamara, very good corners. So

2204
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:31,320
Speaker 1: this is not an easy task for anybody, including Nathan Peterman.

2205
01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 1: What do you think Peterman, what do you think of

2206
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:35,240
Speaker 1: him having a chance to start the Sunday. That's what

2207
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 1: we're taking calls about. Will on the line from north Tonawanda. Hello, Will, welcome,

2208
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:41,439
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Hey, how are you

2209
01:49:41,479 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 1: guys doing today? We're doing okay good. Yeah. I really

2210
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: hope Nathan Peterman starts this week. I really think he

2211
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:52,160
Speaker 1: should have started the last two weeks only because who

2212
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 1: else knows the offense after beating her two years the

2213
01:49:56,479 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 1: Nathan Yeah, Oh, he's always He's always given one hundred percent.

2214
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:03,000
Speaker 1: You never hear any whining or complaining it about him.

2215
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 1: And like Jim Kelly used to say, it's Buffalo Bill's football,

2216
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,600
Speaker 1: and that's what I see in Peter Mint, not that

2217
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't see it any other guy. Yeah, he's an

2218
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 1: easy guy to root for it. And I thought that

2219
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 1: just watching his news conference a minute to Ghosteve and

2220
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:17,479
Speaker 1: I said, as I said, I liked his answers, but

2221
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:20,320
Speaker 1: I really liked his his temperament and his demeanor even

2222
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:22,800
Speaker 1: more than the actual words he was saying. You know,

2223
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 1: he's not a woe is me guy. He's not like,

2224
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:26,760
Speaker 1: yeah I got a rough Oh this is I'm gonna know.

2225
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:28,479
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I know where I've been I know

2226
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 1: what I've done, he says, I know who I'm leaning

2227
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:33,759
Speaker 1: on too, And his faith is very strong, which is okay.

2228
01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 1: That's good actually, and it seems when he's got a

2229
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 1: good support group around him, he does not lack confidence.

2230
01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 1: I think you'd be hard pressed to say that based

2231
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:43,960
Speaker 1: on his demeanor today. Yeah, he listen, everybody's cheering for

2232
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:45,640
Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, you know, want bad things to

2233
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 1: happen to good people, and he comes across as being

2234
01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:50,680
Speaker 1: the exact kind of thing. And it's it's obvious why

2235
01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 1: he's been a valuable asset to the quarterback room and

2236
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:56,680
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff. He was the first guy that

2237
01:50:57,280 --> 01:50:59,920
Speaker 1: was beating down Brian daboles door when he was high.

2238
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:02,759
Speaker 1: His offensive coordinator Nate Peterman came in and helped him unpack.

2239
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 1: He's there trying to make the team better. But make

2240
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:09,560
Speaker 1: no mistake him, more than anybody know, he has to

2241
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:12,320
Speaker 1: play better than he has been able to and a

2242
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of it is a little bit like a golfer.

2243
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 1: The first thing you got to do towards getting better

2244
01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:21,160
Speaker 1: is not do something bad. You know, if he can

2245
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:23,840
Speaker 1: stop making the big mistake, throwing the interception, throw the

2246
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,599
Speaker 1: pick six, fumbling the ball or whatever. You can't turn

2247
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 1: it over. If you can start with that, things are

2248
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:31,840
Speaker 1: going to get way better pretty quickly. We've got some

2249
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:34,200
Speaker 1: people chiming in and it's obvious too that I guess

2250
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:37,479
Speaker 1: we should mention it again. He's the quarterbacks in this team,

2251
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 1: on this team that knows the system the best. He's

2252
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:43,640
Speaker 1: the one who has been here since day one when

2253
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 1: it started getting installed. He's the one who who ran

2254
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:49,640
Speaker 1: it through the preseason. He's the one who's been here

2255
01:51:49,720 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 1: watching them reinstall it for Derrick Anderson, watching them go

2256
01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:56,400
Speaker 1: back to the basics and start things over with Josh Allen,

2257
01:51:56,479 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 1: he's been here through all of that, so more so

2258
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 1: than any other quarterback on the roster. They'll have all

2259
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 1: the plays they want to run, so we'll see if

2260
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:06,880
Speaker 1: he can execute him better than he's been able to

2261
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:09,160
Speaker 1: in the past. But certainly, as a Bills fan, you

2262
01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:13,160
Speaker 1: got to be pulling for the guy. And yet, you know,

2263
01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:16,080
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people around the National

2264
01:52:16,120 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 1: Football League on the outside, they're all looking at the

2265
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense in the quarterback room kind of flinching, you know,

2266
01:52:21,240 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh my gosh, I don't know. We'll see.

2267
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:26,120
Speaker 1: We'll see they've got a pretty good defense. I know

2268
01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:27,599
Speaker 1: they're not going to be out of it, so we'll

2269
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:29,680
Speaker 1: see Barry and Amhurst on the line. Hello Barry, go

2270
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:33,000
Speaker 1: ahead and welcome to the show. Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Sure,

2271
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 1: I'll be one point about Peterman and then I have

2272
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,840
Speaker 1: a question for you, Steve, if that's okay. First of all,

2273
01:52:40,080 --> 01:52:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm tired of all the national bashing of the guy.

2274
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 1: I understand from an outside standpoint and even an insight standpoint,

2275
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 1: he hasn't done, obviously what we expect him to do.

2276
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 1: But I think you're going to see more of the

2277
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:58,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh University Peterman this weekend. I really do the kid

2278
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:01,720
Speaker 1: that went out there and to touchdowns against Clemson, and

2279
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 1: the kid control the ball. I like the fact that

2280
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:08,200
Speaker 1: he has kept his attitude totally positive. He comes from

2281
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:11,160
Speaker 1: a good background and he's got a good faith. So

2282
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,800
Speaker 1: I believe the kid just tries too hard. I believe

2283
01:53:14,840 --> 01:53:17,320
Speaker 1: he wants to make things happen so badly, So I

2284
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:19,679
Speaker 1: think if they used the wildcat a little bit maybe

2285
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:22,040
Speaker 1: with prior. Even though he's only been around a week, UM,

2286
01:53:22,479 --> 01:53:25,519
Speaker 1: I think that he's going to do okay. UM, my

2287
01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:28,080
Speaker 1: question to you, Steve as this, and I know I'm

2288
01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:31,000
Speaker 1: going to get disagreed with on this big time, which

2289
01:53:31,080 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 1: is not unusual for me. I'm used to that, so

2290
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 1: me too, maybe I ought to reevaluate very what you're saying.

2291
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:41,080
Speaker 1: And I'm just kidding. Well, I'm realistic and honest with you, John.

2292
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:44,800
Speaker 1: It's funny. I know I'm going to get an honest

2293
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:46,680
Speaker 1: opinion from you, Steve, and that's why I respect you

2294
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 1: so much. So here's the thing, Okay, I understand the

2295
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 1: competitive nature. Nobody was more competitive than you were when

2296
01:53:53,479 --> 01:53:55,880
Speaker 1: you played the game, and I understand we all want

2297
01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:59,000
Speaker 1: to be competitive when we're playing the game. But if

2298
01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 1: you're up by twenty five points at the end of

2299
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 1: a game, you don't have your starter in the game

2300
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:04,760
Speaker 1: because you don't want to get him hurt, Well, just

2301
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:06,800
Speaker 1: the opposite should happen at the end of the game.

2302
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Derek Anderson should not have been

2303
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 1: in the game at the end of the game the

2304
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:13,360
Speaker 1: other night. That's not what I'm saying. But Steve, what

2305
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying is this, explain to me the purpose of

2306
01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:23,519
Speaker 1: subjecting somebody to needless hits with two and a half

2307
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:26,560
Speaker 1: minutes left in a game. It's nineteen points down, the

2308
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:29,519
Speaker 1: game's over. Okay, the game is over. Why are you

2309
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:32,440
Speaker 1: not running the ball and just getting out of dodge

2310
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:35,120
Speaker 1: and so the clock keeps you running instead of throwing

2311
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:37,640
Speaker 1: the ball, letting the clock stop and getting your wide

2312
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:42,600
Speaker 1: receivers and quarterback in need of needless hits. For no

2313
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:48,040
Speaker 1: reason whatsoever. It served no purpose at all to have

2314
01:54:48,200 --> 01:54:51,200
Speaker 1: him throwing the ball with two minutes left down by

2315
01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:54,080
Speaker 1: nineteen points. He never should have got it. He should

2316
01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:56,120
Speaker 1: have been handed the ball off, and the games should

2317
01:54:56,120 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 1: have been over. Please explain to me the logic in

2318
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 1: throwing the ball with nineteen points down other than effective. Oh,

2319
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:05,280
Speaker 1: we don't want to give up. That's ridiculous, all right.

2320
01:55:05,320 --> 01:55:07,080
Speaker 1: A couple of things One, and it's a good call.

2321
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:09,920
Speaker 1: It's a good point, Barry. I mean, you're already thin

2322
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 1: at the position. Why you know, why risk it? The question?

2323
01:55:14,040 --> 01:55:16,720
Speaker 1: A couple of things. One, nobody plans on your quarterback

2324
01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:19,440
Speaker 1: getting hit. You know, that's not part of the plan.

2325
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 1: The second part of the plan about you know, why

2326
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 1: is he still throwing They're still trying to run the

2327
01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:27,640
Speaker 1: offense because they're playing to try and get their guy

2328
01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:30,520
Speaker 1: better for next week. They're still trying. I mean they're

2329
01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 1: treating it a little bit probably like reps in practice.

2330
01:55:33,600 --> 01:55:35,600
Speaker 1: Let's get you dropping back, Let's get you some more

2331
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:38,120
Speaker 1: reps in this offense with some plays that maybe we're

2332
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:41,320
Speaker 1: maybe not even designed that well for this game plan.

2333
01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:44,960
Speaker 1: But let's get you some reps running some offense that

2334
01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 1: gets you readier to play next week when we play

2335
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. And you know, this is a quarterback

2336
01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:53,080
Speaker 1: who hasn't been here all that long. We want him

2337
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:55,120
Speaker 1: to stay in the game so he can get reps

2338
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 1: and get game action, get more ready to play this

2339
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:01,800
Speaker 1: next week. Certainly, there is a risk to that, no question.

2340
01:56:02,160 --> 01:56:05,240
Speaker 1: Football is a risk if you don't if you're worried

2341
01:56:05,240 --> 01:56:09,480
Speaker 1: about getting a hurt play tennis. Football players get hurt.

2342
01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: There's a risk involved in warming up, let alone playing

2343
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:16,360
Speaker 1: the game. Derek Anderson was probably left in that game

2344
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 1: because they need him to get better and he needs

2345
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:20,720
Speaker 1: reps to do that. They're not gonna take him out

2346
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:23,160
Speaker 1: thinking he's gonna get better sitting on the sideline. This

2347
01:56:23,240 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: is a twelve year vet. He's in the game because

2348
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:27,560
Speaker 1: they need him to get reps in the offense. So

2349
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:30,520
Speaker 1: that maybe next week they'll have an expanded playbook and

2350
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:32,880
Speaker 1: they can play more and have more weapons and more

2351
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:35,920
Speaker 1: tools in their box in their toolbox to beat the

2352
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:39,040
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. That's in that case, that's why. And to

2353
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:42,720
Speaker 1: be as cynical as I possibly can, they probably not

2354
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 1: that attached to Derek Anderson. They hope he plays well

2355
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:46,640
Speaker 1: and they hope we're doing good. But if he gets whacked,

2356
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 1: that's cold, man, It is cold cold. You need him

2357
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 1: to get better. The risk is worth the effort. You've

2358
01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 1: got to get him better. That's why he's in there.

2359
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:00,200
Speaker 1: He's practicing. He needs to get better in the office fence.

2360
01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:01,960
Speaker 1: That's why they're not going to take him out of

2361
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:04,960
Speaker 1: the game. All right, Hey, the Bills may wind up

2362
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:07,320
Speaker 1: with Nathan Peterman in the starting lineup. Looks like it's

2363
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:09,000
Speaker 1: headed in that direction. What do you think about that.

2364
01:57:09,280 --> 01:57:11,680
Speaker 1: We'll take more calls on that when we return. Eighth three,

2365
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:14,840
Speaker 1: five fifty and toll Free one eight eight eight five

2366
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:18,440
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty The reason injuries. Look at the

2367
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 1: injury list from today's practice the participation report. Two quarterbacks

2368
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:24,400
Speaker 1: on the list. Josh Allen, still with his right elbow,

2369
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:27,879
Speaker 1: did not practice today and Derek Anderson with this concussion,

2370
01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:31,600
Speaker 1: did not practice today. No practice for linebackerre Treming Edmonds today,

2371
01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:35,120
Speaker 1: rest day today for Lorenzo Alexander and Kyle Williams. Bills

2372
01:57:35,160 --> 01:57:37,120
Speaker 1: are hit with injuries. That's what the problem is, right,

2373
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:39,440
Speaker 1: You know that you knew that we're back with more

2374
01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 1: in a moment, One Bills Live from One Bills Drive

2375
01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:57,240
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to one Bills Live

2376
01:57:57,320 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 1: time now for New York State Lottery inside the numbers.

2377
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:02,800
Speaker 1: Take a break from the expected place scratch off games

2378
01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 1: from the New York Lottery. How about this when Thurman

2379
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:08,120
Speaker 1: Thomas at his number thirty four retired Monday night, third

2380
01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:10,800
Speaker 1: number retired in franchise history, nothing new to Thurman though

2381
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 1: he's now at his number thirty four number retired in

2382
01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:17,320
Speaker 1: high school, college and the NFL. That is pretty amazing.

2383
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he really enjoyed that. I enjoyed talking with him.

2384
01:58:22,280 --> 01:58:23,960
Speaker 1: I wish we could have spend more time with him today.

2385
01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 1: He was just to hear his reflection and when we

2386
01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:30,480
Speaker 1: asked him at the end about his family reaction, you

2387
01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:31,920
Speaker 1: can tell that meant a lot to him. To have

2388
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:35,560
Speaker 1: all his kids there, including Thurman the third, who, Yeah,

2389
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:37,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't around really when Thurman played when he was

2390
01:58:37,720 --> 01:58:39,720
Speaker 1: at his peak, you know, just to be able to

2391
01:58:39,800 --> 01:58:42,160
Speaker 1: get a chance. And yeah, it's good to see the highlights.

2392
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:44,400
Speaker 1: It's good. He mentioned how he was interviewed Thurman the

2393
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:48,280
Speaker 1: third young thurm But what has as a kid if

2394
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:51,320
Speaker 1: you're your parents are still around, if you were around

2395
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 1: a place you probably had been where your parents were

2396
01:58:53,200 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 1: celebrated and honored and and and feated, faded while they

2397
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:04,280
Speaker 1: were still fetted, No, not fetted, feeded, feeded, faded anyway, celebrating,

2398
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:07,880
Speaker 1: admired by a huge stronger people and in this case

2399
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 1: seventy three thousand people. That makes an impression on a

2400
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:13,600
Speaker 1: young kid, Right, it's cool. I think it's really cool. Well,

2401
01:59:13,720 --> 01:59:16,800
Speaker 1: you know you you like it. We gotta look that up.

2402
01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 1: You gotta look up, you gotta look up. You're getting

2403
01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 1: me cree And I can't remember what I was gonna say.

2404
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 1: You got me thinking about fetted. It's not fetted. I

2405
01:59:26,880 --> 01:59:29,280
Speaker 1: know that thinking means like a swamp. What was I

2406
01:59:29,320 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna say just a second ago before you got me

2407
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:35,600
Speaker 1: with a fetted it's not fetted. We're gonna say something

2408
01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:37,720
Speaker 1: about Thurman's family, how important that was to his family.

2409
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm guessing no, unless you're going off on a complete

2410
01:59:40,720 --> 01:59:46,000
Speaker 1: dely different. Hey, there's a tangent for you myself. Nathan

2411
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:49,040
Speaker 1: Peterman likely to be the starter, not certain yet. Derek

2412
01:59:49,080 --> 01:59:50,880
Speaker 1: Anderson still has a chance to come back and start

2413
01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:53,040
Speaker 1: against the Bears, but the Bills may have to start.

2414
01:59:53,160 --> 01:59:55,240
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman, what's your thoughts on that? Give us a call?

2415
01:59:55,360 --> 01:59:57,800
Speaker 1: Eight oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight

2416
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:00,680
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty A good tweets on

2417
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:03,240
Speaker 1: this two from the tweet sheet from Jim White. Put

2418
02:00:03,360 --> 02:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Peterman in the film room the rest of the week

2419
02:00:05,080 --> 02:00:07,800
Speaker 1: watching this year's Bears defense, so he learns their defensive

2420
02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 1: schemes and how they disguise things. Maybe confidence with what

2421
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:13,560
Speaker 1: he's looking at will help that and split him McCoy

2422
02:00:13,600 --> 02:00:15,200
Speaker 1: out wide once in a while. You know, he's looking

2423
02:00:15,200 --> 02:00:16,840
Speaker 1: at he's looking at a really good defense, and I'm

2424
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:19,480
Speaker 1: sure he's looking at it probably today and already has

2425
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:22,840
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio the defensive coordinare in his thirty third year

2426
02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:25,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Steve He's the Bears defensive coordinare. I

2427
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:28,200
Speaker 1: mentioned all the first round picks. They have their Khalil

2428
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Macks and I didn't check yet today, but as of

2429
02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:33,400
Speaker 1: six this morning, they weren't sure whether Khalil Mack would play.

2430
02:00:33,640 --> 02:00:35,360
Speaker 1: But he's not the only one. They got players on

2431
02:00:35,440 --> 02:00:37,280
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball down there in Chicago.

2432
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:40,160
Speaker 1: It's seventh ranked NFL defense, right behind the Buffalo Bills.

2433
02:00:40,200 --> 02:00:42,800
Speaker 1: They're very good. Yeah, it's interesting too. We get more

2434
02:00:42,920 --> 02:00:46,400
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet and this says, I think having

2435
02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Peterman in might allow Buffalo to open the playbook more

2436
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:52,400
Speaker 1: and maybe gets something going. As long as Peterman sees

2437
02:00:52,480 --> 02:00:54,320
Speaker 1: the field, has a few seconds to throw, I think

2438
02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:57,160
Speaker 1: he's a capable QB. Hopefully Anderson can help Nate with

2439
02:00:57,280 --> 02:00:59,760
Speaker 1: his nerves. That's always been his issue. That there's a

2440
02:00:59,800 --> 02:01:02,080
Speaker 1: lot in there about what we've been talking about. Obviously

2441
02:01:03,160 --> 02:01:06,320
Speaker 1: somebody listens to our show. Yeah, Nate's the guy who

2442
02:01:06,400 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 1: knows the offense. So hopefully there's more available to them

2443
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:10,920
Speaker 1: on their play sheet and they can call more of

2444
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:13,280
Speaker 1: their offense than they've been able to with Derek Anderson.

2445
02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:16,200
Speaker 1: As long as Nate Peterman can see the field and

2446
02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:19,360
Speaker 1: has a few seconds to throw, he's a capable QB.

2447
02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:25,000
Speaker 1: We'll see can he see the field to throw it?

2448
02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:27,240
Speaker 1: And is he going to have a few seconds to

2449
02:01:27,320 --> 02:01:29,880
Speaker 1: throw with Khalil Mack coming off the edge. I don't know,

2450
02:01:30,040 --> 02:01:33,240
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. What about a bigger playbook.

2451
02:01:33,280 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 1: I think Jello was right about that, right. I mean,

2452
02:01:35,960 --> 02:01:38,000
Speaker 1: he's got a year, you know, going back to April

2453
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:40,840
Speaker 1: or May looking at this playbook. Derrick Anderson had about

2454
02:01:40,840 --> 02:01:43,040
Speaker 1: two and a half three weeks of looking at the playbook. Yeah,

2455
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:45,040
Speaker 1: that's a factor. It's minor one. Ever, it's got to

2456
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:47,560
Speaker 1: be real too. I mean I know that for a fact.

2457
02:01:47,800 --> 02:01:49,720
Speaker 1: You're just gonna have things that you do more of,

2458
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:52,240
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a wider variety of things that

2459
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:54,160
Speaker 1: you can go to concepts that you can call that.

2460
02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Probably Derek Anderson wasn't adept at running, hadn't had taken

2461
02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:00,640
Speaker 1: enough reps that you feel confident about calling it, or

2462
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:05,160
Speaker 1: maybe haven't even hasn't even been exposed to on this team.

2463
02:02:05,680 --> 02:02:08,280
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of that that goes in. Certainly,

2464
02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:11,160
Speaker 1: the offense is gonna have this full range of full

2465
02:02:11,200 --> 02:02:15,880
Speaker 1: compliment of plays. We'll see if that is enough to

2466
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:17,640
Speaker 1: get them to a point where they can actually score

2467
02:02:17,640 --> 02:02:20,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown in a game. I mean, that's the big thing.

2468
02:02:20,160 --> 02:02:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's been a good Greek. I mean, really

2469
02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:24,720
Speaker 1: start with a touchdown. There's Mike and Batavia on the

2470
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:26,440
Speaker 1: line with us solo. Mike, go ahead, you're on the air.

2471
02:02:27,880 --> 02:02:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah again, Rob, Rob for Peter Man. I'm gonna hang

2472
02:02:30,640 --> 02:02:32,160
Speaker 1: up and let you guys talk a little bit. But

2473
02:02:32,520 --> 02:02:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, what do you think about possibly bringing

2474
02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 1: in like a guy like check Kelly and maybe letting

2475
02:02:37,600 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Uncle Jim help him out and get him raided his

2476
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:42,160
Speaker 1: boat a little bit, just in case Peterman does go

2477
02:02:42,240 --> 02:02:44,760
Speaker 1: down or we get another injury. Because obviously we need

2478
02:02:44,800 --> 02:02:47,160
Speaker 1: an offensive line. That's why we're going through quarterbacks. They've

2479
02:02:47,200 --> 02:02:49,240
Speaker 1: not been Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a good point.

2480
02:02:49,440 --> 02:02:51,360
Speaker 1: But listen, they've got a there's a ton of guys.

2481
02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you're looking at a list. There's two thousand

2482
02:02:55,200 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 1: eighteen from a website. I think you got guys like

2483
02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:03,640
Speaker 1: Jake Hutler, Packson Lynch, Landry Jones, Ryan Mallared, Mark Sanchez,

2484
02:03:03,720 --> 02:03:09,080
Speaker 1: Matt Moore, Scott Tolzene, Christian Hackenberg, Kellen Clemens, Tyler Bray.

2485
02:03:09,800 --> 02:03:12,640
Speaker 1: Of course that Colin. These are all guys that are

2486
02:03:12,680 --> 02:03:15,280
Speaker 1: out there now. I mean that's you know, Matt mcgloyin,

2487
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:20,680
Speaker 1: Jared Evans, Gilt Garrett Gilbert, Zach Desert, Tom Savage, and

2488
02:03:20,800 --> 02:03:23,440
Speaker 1: of course then the guy they signed, Matt Barkley, t J. Yates.

2489
02:03:23,440 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, these are the kind of guys you're bringing in.

2490
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:29,760
Speaker 1: And most of those guys are just barely out of

2491
02:03:29,800 --> 02:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the league, who were in camp with teams or have

2492
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:36,120
Speaker 1: been cut recently from teams, or maybe who were in

2493
02:03:36,240 --> 02:03:38,120
Speaker 1: camp or with a team last year who weren't signed

2494
02:03:38,120 --> 02:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in the offseason. And that's all those guys. But that's

2495
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:43,480
Speaker 1: the kind of guys you're looking at. Um. I don't

2496
02:03:43,560 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 1: know that. Listen, we've talked about this when Chad got

2497
02:03:46,640 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 1: cut Chad Kelly. Yeah, he's he's got some more important

2498
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:53,240
Speaker 1: issues to think about in this point in his life

2499
02:03:53,280 --> 02:03:56,880
Speaker 1: than he does getting back into the league. He's got

2500
02:03:56,960 --> 02:03:58,400
Speaker 1: to get it on the straight and narrow again to

2501
02:03:58,440 --> 02:04:00,400
Speaker 1: get himself, you know. And they and I don't know

2502
02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:03,600
Speaker 1: how he seemed. And I had thought, just because no

2503
02:04:03,720 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 1: news is good news, I thought he was probably doing

2504
02:04:05,560 --> 02:04:08,760
Speaker 1: pretty well in Denver. And I don't know what they

2505
02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:11,200
Speaker 1: were doing to or how much of a problem he was,

2506
02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:13,960
Speaker 1: or how much they had to think about keeping him

2507
02:04:14,120 --> 02:04:17,480
Speaker 1: on the straight and narrow in Denver. I certainly hadn't

2508
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:20,920
Speaker 1: heard about any problems up to this point. Maybe there

2509
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:24,160
Speaker 1: were some, because this is perhaps such an egregious violation

2510
02:04:24,240 --> 02:04:26,880
Speaker 1: of somebody's personal space and kind of walking into a

2511
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:30,560
Speaker 1: house like that that they just said, we listen, that's it,

2512
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:34,840
Speaker 1: we're out. I would think not, but maybe. But I

2513
02:04:34,920 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 1: think Chad has got more important things going on in

2514
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:40,360
Speaker 1: his life right now than just thinking about which neck

2515
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:42,040
Speaker 1: what's the next team that he's gonna be on, so

2516
02:04:42,240 --> 02:04:44,680
Speaker 1: that you know that joins the list of teams that

2517
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:46,880
Speaker 1: you got kicked off of. He can't go through life

2518
02:04:46,920 --> 02:04:49,560
Speaker 1: like that. He's got to get it together and proved

2519
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 1: to him people that he has gotten it together before

2520
02:04:51,760 --> 02:04:54,080
Speaker 1: somebody signs him. It's called from Trent in Tona. Want

2521
02:04:54,160 --> 02:04:57,560
Speaker 1: to go ahead, Trent, Hey, guys, just want to make

2522
02:04:57,640 --> 02:05:00,680
Speaker 1: two big points and then I'll hang up and listen. So,

2523
02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:04,440
Speaker 1: first of all, Nate Peterman, I'm pretty happy he's gonna start,

2524
02:05:04,480 --> 02:05:08,680
Speaker 1: because basically, I think this season's over and I was

2525
02:05:08,680 --> 02:05:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna give us the best chance to lose. Or you're

2526
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:14,960
Speaker 1: a real fan, huh, yeah, I can tell go ahead

2527
02:05:14,960 --> 02:05:18,480
Speaker 1: and what else. What's your other point? I hope it's

2528
02:05:18,480 --> 02:05:20,040
Speaker 1: as good as the first one. Try and go ahead.

2529
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:26,320
Speaker 1: I want him to lose. Yeah, yeah, good point. So

2530
02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't see the point of yeah, what's the point?

2531
02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:32,960
Speaker 1: Let's rebuild the other point, Jeremy what needs to stick

2532
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:37,400
Speaker 1: to sports? Stealing his liberal Mason? Okay, thank guys, good

2533
02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:42,960
Speaker 1: call John on the west side. Nobody fetted him, faded.

2534
02:05:43,240 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna fake you for that. Call John on the

2535
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,760
Speaker 1: west Side. Go ahead, John, Hi, Hi, guys, how's it going.

2536
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:51,240
Speaker 1: I know you guys are doing well. I love your show. Oh, John,

2537
02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:54,360
Speaker 1: thank you, We're doing great. Questions for you. You talked

2538
02:05:54,400 --> 02:05:58,000
Speaker 1: about risk earlier with another caller. What was the risk

2539
02:05:58,720 --> 02:06:01,080
Speaker 1: of with five seconds to go left in the first

2540
02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:05,360
Speaker 1: half on the forty yard line of kneeling down as

2541
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:08,440
Speaker 1: compared to just yanking the ball all the way down

2542
02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:12,240
Speaker 1: the field? Because three things can happen and two are good.

2543
02:06:12,960 --> 02:06:16,520
Speaker 1: What does that say about the organization that nothing bad's

2544
02:06:16,560 --> 02:06:19,280
Speaker 1: really going to happen on that last play? Yeah, you know,

2545
02:06:19,520 --> 02:06:21,080
Speaker 1: I thought the same thing I said at to Kelso

2546
02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 1: during the broadcast, John, what are we losing here? You

2547
02:06:23,320 --> 02:06:25,720
Speaker 1: know we're having trouble scoring points. You got a possession.

2548
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:28,600
Speaker 1: You're almost in midfield, right, they were almost at midfield.

2549
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Chuck it downfield, see what happens. Maybe you throw a

2550
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:33,080
Speaker 1: pick there. Yeah I had a problem with that. Yeah

2551
02:06:33,120 --> 02:06:35,160
Speaker 1: I do. I agree. I kind of like that too.

2552
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Five seconds. It is one play, the only good thing

2553
02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:40,160
Speaker 1: or the only thing that could happen. I mean, you're

2554
02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:44,360
Speaker 1: not you could I guess you could catch a touchdown, right,

2555
02:06:44,680 --> 02:06:46,880
Speaker 1: and that's the best thing. Get a pass interference, you

2556
02:06:46,920 --> 02:06:49,400
Speaker 1: get a pass interference. That's another good thing that could happen.

2557
02:06:49,800 --> 02:06:51,880
Speaker 1: You could throw an interception, it comes back the other

2558
02:06:51,960 --> 02:06:55,760
Speaker 1: way and they score. You could take an intercept it

2559
02:06:55,800 --> 02:06:58,240
Speaker 1: and come try and somehow you tackle them halfs over.

2560
02:06:58,680 --> 02:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Nothing's bad all that, or somebody could go down and

2561
02:07:02,040 --> 02:07:04,200
Speaker 1: there's a wide ranging you know, the guys they try

2562
02:07:04,240 --> 02:07:05,920
Speaker 1: and keep it alive because there's nothing in it for

2563
02:07:05,960 --> 02:07:07,720
Speaker 1: them either. If they catch it and start to run it,

2564
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:09,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna start laddering it and have them try and

2565
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:11,880
Speaker 1: get it all the way back to score a touchdown too.

2566
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, you know, your quarterback tries

2567
02:07:13,760 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 1: to make a tackle. He goes out at the second

2568
02:07:15,840 --> 02:07:18,600
Speaker 1: half instead of at the end of the game. You know,

2569
02:07:18,720 --> 02:07:21,800
Speaker 1: it's unpredictable, But I'm with you. I agree. I was like, huh,

2570
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:24,120
Speaker 1: I kind of like to see him take a shot.

2571
02:07:24,240 --> 02:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I think it was on their own forty yard line.

2572
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Sixty yards maybe Eric Anderson would get it down to

2573
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,200
Speaker 1: the five or maybe at the goal line. Sixty yards

2574
02:07:31,280 --> 02:07:33,080
Speaker 1: is a big throw, particularly when you put arc on

2575
02:07:33,160 --> 02:07:34,400
Speaker 1: it and it's got a you know, kind of like

2576
02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:37,840
Speaker 1: a punt hail Mary. Maybe or maybe if you've got

2577
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:39,760
Speaker 1: one of those plays, which maybe they do. Maybe they

2578
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:41,720
Speaker 1: don't have that. I knew they've got it in I

2579
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:44,120
Speaker 1: don't know if Nate or if Derek Anderson was versed,

2580
02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:46,160
Speaker 1: maybe have one of those lateral plays at the end

2581
02:07:46,160 --> 02:07:47,800
Speaker 1: of a game, right where you throw the hook, a

2582
02:07:47,840 --> 02:07:49,560
Speaker 1: guy comes across your lateral it to him and then

2583
02:07:49,600 --> 02:07:52,280
Speaker 1: you start pitching it back, pitching it back, pitching it back.

2584
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:56,400
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, I wish they would have tried

2585
02:07:56,520 --> 02:08:00,200
Speaker 1: something there, but they didn't, and I thought, you know,

2586
02:08:00,240 --> 02:08:03,600
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a missed opportunity. But I was,

2587
02:08:03,760 --> 02:08:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, they were down twelve to six and the

2588
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:08,360
Speaker 1: game was not over, and they were weigh in it,

2589
02:08:08,440 --> 02:08:10,840
Speaker 1: and they probably felt pretty good about their plan, you know,

2590
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:12,800
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. I wish they'd tried something there.

2591
02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:15,080
Speaker 1: I think that's a I don't want to say it's

2592
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:19,120
Speaker 1: a generalization defensive head coach. Yeah, you know, yeah, I

2593
02:08:19,200 --> 02:08:21,920
Speaker 1: don't know why. I mean, that's a conservative outlook. It's

2594
02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 1: only one play, you know. The one thing the caller

2595
02:08:24,680 --> 02:08:27,000
Speaker 1: did say was it's something wrong with the entire organization.

2596
02:08:27,080 --> 02:08:29,000
Speaker 1: That's a little bit heavy handed. I think I'd just

2597
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:30,520
Speaker 1: like to seem to take a crack at it when

2598
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:33,080
Speaker 1: they're struggling so bad. NFL True and False brought to

2599
02:08:33,120 --> 02:08:35,840
Speaker 1: you by Yancey's Fancy New York Starts and Cheese. Trade

2600
02:08:35,920 --> 02:08:38,320
Speaker 1: deadline Day yesterday a couple of trades. The Rams got

2601
02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:42,920
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler from the Jaguars. The Rams have become an

2602
02:08:42,960 --> 02:08:47,000
Speaker 1: unstoppable force following the trade for Fowler. True false. You've

2603
02:08:47,040 --> 02:08:48,920
Speaker 1: seen him, Steve, I watched him on TV. I'm gonna

2604
02:08:48,920 --> 02:08:51,600
Speaker 1: say true. And maybe they didn't even need this trade

2605
02:08:51,600 --> 02:08:55,680
Speaker 1: to become unstoppable. I think, excuse me, they have doubled down.

2606
02:08:55,760 --> 02:08:59,920
Speaker 1: It's a very impressive acquisition for them. They the Rams

2607
02:09:00,040 --> 02:09:03,360
Speaker 1: are good. This just in The Rams are really good,

2608
02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:05,839
Speaker 1: and they're really good on both sides of the football.

2609
02:09:06,440 --> 02:09:08,760
Speaker 1: And you know from outside looking after one half of

2610
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:12,280
Speaker 1: the season, the Rams are on a collision course with

2611
02:09:12,400 --> 02:09:14,560
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs for the Super Bowl. That's what

2612
02:09:14,640 --> 02:09:16,800
Speaker 1: it looks like right now. Certainly you can think the

2613
02:09:16,880 --> 02:09:19,360
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to be deep in the playoffs. One

2614
02:09:19,400 --> 02:09:21,560
Speaker 1: of those teams from the AFC North are going to

2615
02:09:21,640 --> 02:09:24,920
Speaker 1: be in there, to Pittsburgh Steelers, the Bengals, or the

2616
02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:27,080
Speaker 1: or the Ravens. They're going to kind of try and

2617
02:09:27,120 --> 02:09:29,520
Speaker 1: make a play for it. The Chargers are playing really

2618
02:09:29,600 --> 02:09:32,200
Speaker 1: well right now. There's other teams in the AFC that

2619
02:09:32,280 --> 02:09:34,080
Speaker 1: you can point to, but I'll tell you what. In

2620
02:09:34,120 --> 02:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the NFC, there's one team and it's it's the Rams.

2621
02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:41,200
Speaker 1: And they they have pushed all their chips to the

2622
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:43,200
Speaker 1: middle of the table and they flipped over their two

2623
02:09:43,240 --> 02:09:46,320
Speaker 1: hold cards and seeing if you can beat them, because

2624
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:48,440
Speaker 1: they are going for broke and they're doing it right now.

2625
02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:52,320
Speaker 1: The Rams are good. They are good. Now here's another

2626
02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:56,160
Speaker 1: NFC to say true. Okay, we both say true Part two,

2627
02:09:56,280 --> 02:09:59,240
Speaker 1: Yante's fancy New York Startisan cheese tru or false. The

2628
02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:01,640
Speaker 1: Eagles will make the biggest jump in the NFL second half.

2629
02:10:01,640 --> 02:10:03,680
Speaker 1: They went out and got Golden Tate yesterday. Not an

2630
02:10:04,040 --> 02:10:06,320
Speaker 1: inconsequential move. I think it's a big move for a

2631
02:10:06,360 --> 02:10:08,640
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles team that is playing pretty well right now.

2632
02:10:08,960 --> 02:10:10,840
Speaker 1: I do look for a better second half from Philly.

2633
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:14,360
Speaker 1: They missed Wentz obviously early on. They kind of broke

2634
02:10:14,440 --> 02:10:17,440
Speaker 1: in Wentz slowly, and once he got healthy and returned,

2635
02:10:17,640 --> 02:10:19,360
Speaker 1: I look for a big second half from the Eagles.

2636
02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:21,240
Speaker 1: In that trade yesterday, I think is indicative of that.

2637
02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:23,720
Speaker 1: True the Eagles will make a big jump in the

2638
02:10:23,760 --> 02:10:27,400
Speaker 1: second half of the year, I will say true as well.

2639
02:10:27,680 --> 02:10:29,720
Speaker 1: I think that they are gonna make it. They're gonna

2640
02:10:29,720 --> 02:10:31,520
Speaker 1: play better in the second half. I think Wentz is

2641
02:10:31,520 --> 02:10:34,280
Speaker 1: getting better, his knees getting better. The addition of golden

2642
02:10:34,320 --> 02:10:36,720
Speaker 1: take gives him something that I think a lot of

2643
02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:40,560
Speaker 1: teams would love to have. A guy who is gonna

2644
02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:43,920
Speaker 1: get some separation. He's gonna make a tough catch, and

2645
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:47,800
Speaker 1: he's not a speedster, but he's more of the hinz

2646
02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:51,960
Speaker 1: Ward kind of player. When he catches the ball, he's

2647
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:55,640
Speaker 1: hard to bring down. His after the catch running ability

2648
02:10:55,760 --> 02:10:58,680
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands is maybe as good

2649
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:00,920
Speaker 1: as anybody in the NFL. For a who's not fast.

2650
02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:03,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's not a speed merchant. He's fast enough,

2651
02:11:03,960 --> 02:11:07,160
Speaker 1: no question, but he gets great separation, he runs great routes.

2652
02:11:07,760 --> 02:11:12,040
Speaker 1: Wentz is gonna love that guy, and he gives them something.

2653
02:11:13,040 --> 02:11:15,760
Speaker 1: And I you know, and in that division you're talking

2654
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:19,400
Speaker 1: about the NFC East, you know, there's not that much

2655
02:11:19,440 --> 02:11:22,200
Speaker 1: they need. Washington's five and two, Phillies four and four.

2656
02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:25,360
Speaker 1: They're chasing them. And I think that's Philly's gonna be

2657
02:11:25,360 --> 02:11:27,120
Speaker 1: able to put a lot more together in the second

2658
02:11:27,160 --> 02:11:29,360
Speaker 1: half with Wentz getting healthier as well. NFL True or

2659
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:31,480
Speaker 1: False brought to you about Yancey's Fancy New York's artist

Speaker 1: retired the other day and he told us about what

2668
02:12:08,640 --> 02:12:10,400
Speaker 1: that meant and what the weekend was like for him.

2669
02:12:12,360 --> 02:12:14,400
Speaker 1: You know, it was guys alumni that came all the

2670
02:12:14,480 --> 02:12:16,680
Speaker 1: way back and was a part of it, and uh

2671
02:12:17,080 --> 02:12:19,160
Speaker 1: it was a show man, I feel it was great.

2672
02:12:19,640 --> 02:12:21,880
Speaker 1: It was awesome, man, you know, just kind of looking

2673
02:12:21,920 --> 02:12:25,560
Speaker 1: at like all you know, the lights, you know, they

2674
02:12:25,600 --> 02:12:27,440
Speaker 1: say they was gonna turn off the lights at half

2675
02:12:27,480 --> 02:12:31,280
Speaker 1: time to look like hope that comes off all right, right,

2676
02:12:31,440 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 1: and uh so, no, it was absolutely amazing. It was wow.

2677
02:12:38,400 --> 02:12:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty much all I can say. I mean,

2678
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:45,080
Speaker 1: it's it was a tremendous weekend, sure was. Thurman had

2679
02:12:45,120 --> 02:12:47,640
Speaker 1: his number retired. We heard from Sean McDermott and his

2680
02:12:47,760 --> 02:12:50,360
Speaker 1: morning news conference today. He was asked about the guy

2681
02:12:50,400 --> 02:12:52,760
Speaker 1: who's likely to start, a quarterback, Nathan Peterman, who's had

2682
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:55,839
Speaker 1: a couple of rough starts. McDermott was asked about Peterman's

2683
02:12:55,920 --> 02:13:00,560
Speaker 1: level of confidence going into this game. Confidence is a

2684
02:13:00,680 --> 02:13:05,680
Speaker 1: challenge for every every athlete, every performer out there, UM,

2685
02:13:05,800 --> 02:13:09,520
Speaker 1: and and to keep one's confidence high is also a challenge,

2686
02:13:09,520 --> 02:13:11,160
Speaker 1: and that's where the mental toughness part of the game

2687
02:13:11,240 --> 02:13:16,760
Speaker 1: comes in. We have resources in our building UM that uh,

2688
02:13:17,320 --> 02:13:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, assist us in those in those areas in

2689
02:13:19,760 --> 02:13:23,040
Speaker 1: order to keep confidence high, whether it's whether it's with

2690
02:13:23,160 --> 02:13:26,400
Speaker 1: Nader or other players or coaches. Um, that's that's a

2691
02:13:26,560 --> 02:13:30,240
Speaker 1: that's an important aspect of developed being the total athlete.

2692
02:13:30,720 --> 02:13:33,760
Speaker 1: There you go. I'm not worried about his confidence. I'm worried.

2693
02:13:33,800 --> 02:13:35,480
Speaker 1: I hope he plays well, and I know he needs

2694
02:13:35,520 --> 02:13:37,840
Speaker 1: to play better a Peterman, but confidence, I'm not worried

2695
02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:40,040
