Speaker 1: a name of Bob Costas. Yes they beat Cosmos. Yes

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,120

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: they had like seventy five points I think in the

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,920

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,479

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: let me just let me just give you the scenario

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: that it would be for me. I would throw the

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: game first thing out and spend the rest of the

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: night in the stands drinking budle. I can do that.

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: You didn't have to go on the stands. You can

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: go in the Toyota club, right and you're freezing that,

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: let them freeze you go up and kick back and

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: drink free beer. I thought about it. That's the move.

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I thought about it. You probably would have done that.

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: I was required to be on the field and kind

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: of keep track of the scores, you know, I was

41
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: the MC kind of keep track of the score. Did

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: you get like, all right, let me ask you this,

43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,840

00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,480

00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: Today's we said, going through conditioning some meaning time, but

155
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: no practice. The practice week begins tomorrow as they get

156
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: set for the New England Patriots coming here on Monday.

157
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: Did a little Patriots prep work last night too. I

158
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: know there's some out there who believe that you and

159
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't do much homework to get ready for our jobs.

160
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: But I actually did a ton of prep work yesterday. Yeah.

161
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't even run. There's so many punchlines on that joke.

162
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: Jay Harrison's I got it. Yeah, No, I did a

163
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: little prep work. Patriots are good, Steve, This just in.

164
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: But you know, and this is what we gotta get to. Well,

165
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: let me tell you who the guests are, because we're

166
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna ask one of them this question. First of all,

167
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips horrible, Harry builds a third round pick, going

168
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: to be with us at the twelve thirty bottom of

169
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: the hour. Coming up at one o'clock. It's Thurman Thomas week,

170
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: so we're gonna celebrate with Thurman one o'clock as he

171
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: gets set to have his number retired next Monday, and

172
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: coming up with two. A buddy of mine, Don Banks,

173
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: who used to work for Sports Illustrated, write about the

174
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: NFL for Sports Illustrated along with Peter King. Now he

175
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: works through the Athletic dot Com and Boston covers the Patriots.

176
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: There I want to I've made this quick servation my

177
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: first of the week about the Patriots, and there'll be

178
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: more coming. We've got an extra day to look. I'm

179
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: not a member of the Bill Belichick fan club, but

180
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: one of the you respect him. I do, obviously, and

181
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: one of the things that struck me yesterday last night

182
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: doing my Patriots prep work was how the Patriots adapt

183
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: to whatever they have, and that's Ballichick. They are not

184
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: an aerial circus anymore. They find ways to get a

185
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: ton I think their tenth best offense in the league

186
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: yardagewise this way, Yes, they put up some points the

187
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: last few weeks. But they find ways to move the

188
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: ball however they can. And it's a little bit different

189
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: this year with Sony Michelle obviously using James White differently

190
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: than they have in the past, and I admire, I

191
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: don't know, I respect what they do to make things

192
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: work right. Brady isn't now you've mentioned, it's several mentioned

193
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: that Brady is not Tom Brady from five years ago.

194
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: He's not doesn't have the same arm, doesn't have the

195
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: same kind of passing acumen. But they find ways to

196
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: get things done. And now their defense is better. Dante

197
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Higtower is an outstanding player. He wasn't three four years ago.

198
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is it's not the you know, yes,

199
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots have this what fifteen seventeen year run of dominance,

200
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: not just over the Bills but all over the AFC

201
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: East and all over the NFL for that matter. And

202
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: it's not the same formula. It's not the same now

203
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: as it was five years ago, or ten years ago

204
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: or fifteen years ago. And I think that should be acknowledge.

205
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask down Banks about it. Do you

206
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Yeah, you've seen him play, you

207
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: did I cover him, and I've had production meetings, I've

208
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: sat down with Bill Belichick and meetings with broadcasters that

209
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: we're doing his game, and you know, in the room

210
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: with him and they ask him stuff about the games,

211
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: and I hear him speak about it and the thing

212
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: and I get out of the Patriots and when I

213
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: know that this here's what, here's where I think the

214
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: Patriots are maybe different than other teams. The Patriots seemed

215
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: to and this sounds crazy, but they seem to know

216
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: their players better than anybody else knows their own players.

217
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: And they don't ask their players ever to do things

218
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: they cannot do. And they also seem to have a

219
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: program in place where they prepare their players for specific

220
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: things that are going to happen on the field, that

221
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: they anticipate happening and in some cases manipulate in order

222
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: for them to happen, for the other for their opponent

223
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: to do certain things. They attack on all fronts. If

224
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: they have a team that they know what they can do,

225
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: and that's what where they get you. They know that

226
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: on one weekend there for instance, I don't know if

227
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: this is the case or what they know that, for instance,

228
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: their edge rushers can dominate the outside tackles of their opponent.

229
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: They will lean on those edge rushers and use those

230
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: other assets in other ways to strengthen their defense in

231
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: other places. They'll lean on those edge rushers one week,

232
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: and the next week they'll totally take those edge rushers

233
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: off the shelf and they'll use inside blitz moves. They'll

234
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: totally change their defensive philosophy from week to week. It's like,

235
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: for instance, the Chicago Bears, when Khalil Mack is healthy,

236
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack is going to rush off the edge all

237
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: the time. You just know it. It's gonna happen. You're

238
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna get it. It's gonna be something they do every day,

239
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: every down, every passing down. Everything you're gonna eat Clil mccali, mccalimac.

240
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: The Patriots never do that. Even when Tom Brady was

241
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: at his best, there would be games when he would

242
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: be handing the football off a lot. They change their

243
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: identity offensively and defensively to attack where your weakness is.

244
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: So you can bet that if they see the Bills

245
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: have deficiencies on their roster, they're gonna exploit them in

246
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: every way they can. And that's what they've done. That's

247
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: why they're successful. And they also have the ability, and

248
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: that's one thing that that Patriots do. The other thing

249
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: is they seem to have insights into your roster and

250
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: what you do and what you don't do, illegally, shoot video, whatever, whatever.

251
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: But you know they do they have the ability to

252
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: scout their opponents and find out things about their opponents

253
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: or um, like I said, manipulate their opponent into doing

254
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: some things to put their opponents on edge. And a

255
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: lot of teams do that. I mean, that's that's kind

256
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: of football, scouting your opponent and trying to take advantage

257
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: of them, putting in a position where they either have

258
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: to beat you, kind of left handed, so to speak.

259
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: And the Patriots seemed to be really good at that

260
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: as well. So they in both respects what they ask

261
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: their players to do and what they force their opponents

262
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: to do, they seem to be better at that than

263
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: anybody else and more consistent. Yeah, in really good point.

264
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: I really agree with your point about they know their

265
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: own team, their own roster, better than anybody else's strengths

266
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: and weaknesses. And I think that's what plays into the

267
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: fact that they played different not just every season, but

268
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: almost every game. They can switch up what they want

269
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: to do and every season. And this is the point

270
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: I initially wanted to make. They don't get married to guys. No,

271
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: And they don't get married to systems and married to

272
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: this is the Patriot way, this is what we do. No,

273
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: they find a way seemingly every year. Now they're helped

274
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: along by the best quarterback of the generation right in

275
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, the most successful quarterback of this generation. That

276
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: helps immensely. But I love the I don't love it.

277
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate the fact that they are that good at

278
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: adapting what they are trying to do on a not

279
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: just a year to year basis, but almost on a

280
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: week to week basis. And everybody in the NFL, and

281
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: we talk about it on the show some Where you

282
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: gotta get if you have forty five guys on Game Dame,

283
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: they all forty five guys got to contribute. The Patriots

284
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: get contributions from all fifty three guys. Because one guy

285
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: who might have been active last week, he'll sit down

286
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: for a week, he'll be He'll been He's been active

287
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: every game this year. He's done some really good things

288
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: on the field. All of a sudden he's not even

289
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: on the field because they have a guy because of

290
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: this game that gives them something against this opponent that

291
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: the other guy doesn't, or at least he's better than that,

292
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: and they plug him in and they'll sit a guy down.

293
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: They'll sit like you know, Malcolm Butler in the Super Bowl,

294
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: they'll sit him down. He started every year, you know,

295
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: he started every game. They'll sit him down. That kind

296
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: of thing happens for them, and nobody bats an eye

297
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: because they know that at some level they're going to

298
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: get a contribution from that guy. And let's face it,

299
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL, we've seen it. You get an attribution

300
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: from the guy that's critical on two plays during the game.

301
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: Those two plays might make the difference in the game.

302
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: And they know that. We're gonna talk about the Patriots

303
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: a lot today and through the rest of the week.

304
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Obviously Don Banks covers them for the Athletic dot Com

305
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: and Boston will join us at two. As we said, Thurman,

306
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: Thomas and Sulio had one and Harrison Phillips Bills defensive lineman,

307
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: the rookie, you're gonna join us at twelve thirty. So

308
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: that's what the show kind of looks like today. We

309
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: also have a Twitter poll. We are six days away

310
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: now from the NFL trade deadline. There've been a couple

311
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: of deals. There's a little bit of NFL news today.

312
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to in a second couple of deals

313
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: already involving the New York Giants, believe it or not.

314
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: And we got to get your sense of the Bills

315
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: as the trade deadline approaches. Look two and five right,

316
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: patriots coming in. They could very easily be two and

317
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: six in the next six days. So what does that

318
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: mean for the Bills as they approached the trade deadline?

319
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: What do you think? That's our Twitter poll today. It

320
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: is a poll today and it's pretty simple. The NFL

321
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: trade deadline just six days away. What do the Bills

322
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: need in a trade? Let us know what you think.

323
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: Phone lines open as well eight oh three oh five

324
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: fifty and toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

325
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: two five fifty. If you vote in the Twitter poll,

326
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: go to one Bills Live and vote there right now.

327
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: In the early returns, actually there's a lot of them,

328
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: about eight hundred returns so far. What are the Bills

329
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: need in a trade? Fifty two percent of you think

330
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: they need a wide receiver. Can argue with that. Twenty

331
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: five percent of you think they need help on the

332
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: offensive line, thirteen percent of you think they need a quarterback.

333
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: Hard to argue with that ten percent of something else

334
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: in mind? What are the Bills need in a trade?

335
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: The deadline next Tuesday at four pm, let's talk about it.

336
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight h three oh five fifty

337
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: and toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

338
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: five fifty. If you have a realistic trade in mind,

339
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: and by realistic I mean don't think you're gonna get

340
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: Labe on Bell for you know, the third string offensive lineman.

341
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Ask yourself if the other team would make the trade,

342
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: and if they wouldn't, don't call. We will entertain your

343
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: specific trade offers as long as they're somewhat in the

344
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: realm of realistic here and and maybe you want to.

345
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: There's guys on the current roster or a position grew

346
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: up on the current roster. You'd think I'm done with them,

347
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: let's trade them away. We'll listen to all of that

348
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: today as we talked about the trade deadline six days away.

349
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I mean we're probably not going

350
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: to be able to trade for Russell Wilson, you know,

351
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: or Aaron Rodgers, and we're gonna hear Levion Bell thrown

352
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: up at us as well. That's not going to happen,

353
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: you know. So there, if you really think there's something viable,

354
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: I want to hear it, because I've heard Joe Banner

355
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: from the West Coast, who as a journalist have been

356
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: around for a long time, he thinks that this year

357
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of trades made this week,

358
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: a lot more than we're used to seeing. And I

359
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: think he might be right, given what happened on Draft Day,

360
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: and given what happened up to this point, and given

361
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: the point in history we are in the league, with

362
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: the way offenses working, defenses working, players moving around anyway,

363
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: and I agree with him. I think we might see

364
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: a flurry of activity in the next seven days that

365
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: we've never seen in the NFL. I think there'll be

366
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: a lot of trades made before the deadline, and you know,

367
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: I think it gonna be fun to watch. Yeah, what

368
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: do they need to trade? And maybe you just want

369
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: draft picks, that's fine too, you know, if you want

370
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: to build for next year and into the future, draft

371
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: picks are the right answer. Someone suggested that on Twitter,

372
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: and a response from Matthew D. Lynch to that he said, agreed,

373
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: typical Bills wgr created emotional response, I don't know, Twitter,

374
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: people are angry? Why do people you gotta be angry

375
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: to be on Twitter? Apparently you gotta be angry and

376
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: upset at somebody. Whatever. Give us all right, NFL news,

377
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: let's get through it real quickly. There are trades the

378
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: Giants involved. They have traded the snacks Harrison defensive tackle

379
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: Damon Harrison to the Detroit Lions for a fifth round pick,

380
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: less than twenty four hours after they sent starting quarterback

381
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Eli Apple to the Saints for a fourth rounder. So

382
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: the Giants clearly, Steve are are stockpiling draft picks, getting

383
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: rid of starters and good players keep players. Snacks Harrison

384
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 1: was great with the Jets few years ago, has been

385
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: okay with the Giants a last year or so, and

386
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: now he's gone. The Giants clearly are stocking up for

387
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: next year. I wouldn't want it. Yeah, maybe that's what

388
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: the Bills do. I don't know. It's a fifth round pick.

389
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: Doesn't seemed like enough or a lot for a guy

390
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: who plays and plays on a regular basis. Like Damon

391
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: Harrison read somebody today wrote that shows you how little

392
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: value defensive linemen have in the NFL. I don't know

393
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: if I agree with that. I will say, and we'll

394
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: talk with Harrison Phillips about this in a couple of minutes.

395
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: Now that most teams in the NFL want to rotate

396
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: defensive lineman through there, yes, they would have less individual value.

397
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there's only one in Dominican sue in the league,

398
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: only one, Aaron Donald. But do they lose all their value?

399
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. Yeah, a lot of people fronder

400
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: is not a lot for David Harrison, right, And I

401
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: think a lot of people now are getting some feedback

402
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: in everybody wants to go for draft picks, you know,

403
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: trade whatever you have to get to get draft picks

404
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: and do the same thing that Giants seemed to be

405
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: doing in New York, trading whatever asset you have to

406
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: see if you can get better players in this next

407
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: year's draft. There's something to that, although you know, I'm

408
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: some of that, I see some of that. I don't know, though,

409
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: There's there's gonna be some quality players that are gonna

410
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: trade teams and switch teams. The Bills have ten draft

411
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: picks next year, yes, right now, ten picks, so they've

412
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: got some Yep, it'll be interesting to see how that falls.

413
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, let's face it, I think there's a lot

414
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: of phone calls being made around the National Football League.

415
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams are interested in a

416
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: lot of players, more so than ever at any point

417
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL. We see a lot

418
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: of players that are you know, just saying get me out. Yeah,

419
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: you don't based on what we know after a year

420
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: a little bit what a year and a half almost

421
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: of random bean and a little bit longer than after

422
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, I would be surprised if they don't make

423
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: a trade, Steve. They seem to like to make trades.

424
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: They are not afraid. They don't get they're not locked

425
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: into their roster. I know there's some dissatisfaction about certain

426
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: position groups on the roster. I'd be surprised if they

427
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: don't have a deal in mind between now and next Tuesday.

428
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: I think they may have already tried, actually and not

429
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: been able to find anybody, you know, tried to mark

430
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: it off some of their current players. It might now

431
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: be getting the kind of return they're looking for. I'd

432
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: be surprised if the Bills get through this without making

433
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: a deal before two, So I do two. We're getting

434
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: some feedback from the tweet sheet Jeff Slowski. We should

435
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: be trading Way assets like Clay Benjamin McCoy for young

436
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: players and picks. Also from Tiffany Daniels. The off fences

437
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: in desperate need of a playmaker at wide receiver. Unfortunately,

438
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: those guys are hard to find and keep, and teams

439
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: that have one rare to give them up. It may

440
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: have to be tabled until next season's draft. In the meantime,

441
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: it might be time to move players like Clay and

442
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: McCoy for draft assets. And she chimes in on that

443
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: same thing. Team many twenty two wide receivers a huge need.

444
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Think the Bills made mistakes not keeping Streeter and Riley,

445
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: by the way, neither one of those guys. I don't

446
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: believe we're in the NFL, but that's right. I think

447
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: there are better options than Foster and Ray. Ray. Not

448
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: sure who's available, but would be open to trade a

449
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: third or fourth round or to get a wide receiver.

450
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: Alan needs more talent around him to develop now, well,

451
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: if you're gonna trade a third or fourth round or

452
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: who you gonna get, and I get that, yeah you

453
00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: might get a guy. But yeah, I don't know if

454
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: all this stuff is on the table. And I agree,

455
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: I think I think Bills fans are ready to see.

456
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: I think it's exciting for your team when you do

457
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: trade guys. I think last year it was a little

458
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: bit more shocking for Bills fans when they did the

459
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: Marcel Darius with the Robert Woods trade, with the Ron

460
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: Darby trade, the E. J. Gaines trade, Sammy Watkins thing.

461
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: All that stuff surprised a lot of people last year.

462
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: I don't think people will be as surprised this year

463
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: when this stuff happens, right, Yeah, they shouldn't be based

464
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: on the track record. These guys haven't demonstrated already. I

465
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: do think they're gonna make a trade. I just checked it. Yeah,

466
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Riley is not playing anywhere. And this happened last

467
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: week and it got byas we didn't mention it on

468
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: the show. And I really sorry to read this, but

469
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: Rod Streeter suffered a fractured neck playing for the Browns

470
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: and his season is over. That guys, Remember we talked

471
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: about it in the control room, and we never talked

472
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: about it on the air. That guy talk about a

473
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: hard luck guy. Man I like him a lot as

474
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: a person, and just says he can't catch a break. Right.

475
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: He had the good camp here a couple of years

476
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: ago and then got hurt with the foot and then

477
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: fractured his neck the other day, a week ago, about

478
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: eight days ago, well two weeks ago. Play with the

479
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns two sundays ago. It's too bad, hey. A

480
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: couple of other NFL notes, brief ones. Mike Mitchell, who

481
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: didn't have, you know, a big name going into the

482
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: Bill's Colts game, had a huge game, right. Seven tackles,

483
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: one force, fumble, one interception, and Mike Mitchell has been

484
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his

485
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: performance against the Bills for the Colts. And this is

486
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: troubling again. And this started happening yesterday. Denver Broncos and

487
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: Western New York native Chad Kelly. Today, the Broncos released

488
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: Chad Kelly following his arrest on first degree criminal trespass.

489
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Hogan is now the Bronco's backup quarterback. The Broncos

490
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: cut Kelly. They have offered to help him deal with

491
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: his personal issues. The former Ole Miss quarterback with a

492
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: history of some issues. Halloween party out in Englewood, Colorado,

493
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: we got into trouble and was charged with criminal trespass,

494
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: first degree criminal trespass. He appeared in court and then

495
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: was released by the Broccos. You were reading somewhere that

496
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: Alway and the Broncos and coach Van Joseph Vance Joseph

497
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: were extremely upset and they were mad, they were angry

498
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: at him, and they they had him in They talked

499
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: to him Tuesday morning and uh they said they were

500
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: livid with him and um and released him as a result.

501
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: It's it's too bad. It's a great opportunity that has

502
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: now gone for him, and it's uh, it's going to

503
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what turn his life takes. Um.

504
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's been in and out of football

505
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: and on and off football teams his whole career, both

506
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: in college, junior college, and now of course the pros.

507
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: He was the last player drafted last year and worked

508
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: his way up to being the backup behind Case Keenham.

509
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's troubling about this, right he had

510
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: seemed the depth chart. You got a chance to play.

511
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: How long you think case Keenam is going to be

512
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: in place down there? He had a chance to play

513
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: and get kind of proper development the people some people

514
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: crave for for a rookie here, Josh Allen. They were

515
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: investing in that with Jed Kelly, and he just sort

516
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: of just squandered it all the way, threw it all

517
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, that's too bad. All right, we'll take

518
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: your phone calls now. We're talking about the trade deadline.

519
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: Sick stays away. Of course, draft picks are an issue,

520
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: and that's why we put other up there for your choice.

521
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. What do the Bills

522
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: need in a trade over the next six daies? What

523
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: would you do? Give us a call eight oh three

524
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: oh five fifty or twelve three one eight eight eight

525
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. You'll start with a call

526
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: from Derek and Buffalo. Hello, Derek, go ahead, Derek gone,

527
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead. Hi, Derek. Hey frustrated obviously with the

528
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: rest of Western New York about our quarterback situation. I

529
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: feel like you know this has been next or more

530
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: of just quarterback and more in a decade. Yeah, Well,

531
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: and it's just tough to to watch because you see

532
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: other people have success, other people have a plan, and

533
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: obviously with coaching turnovers, and I forget the stat with

534
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady starting and we think we've had seventeen I

535
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: think maybe starting quarterbacks since Tom Brady's played us over

536
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: the years. Let me just slow you down for a second, Derek,

537
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: you don't see a plan. You don't think they have

538
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: a plan for Josh Allen here? Well, I don't I

539
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: done a sound like it. It doesn't sound like it's

540
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: working either. Well he's hurt. Was gonna work when he's hurt, well, obviously,

541
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: but but it wasn't. The plan was not to play him, obviously,

542
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah play so you know you're you're putting riding. I

543
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: like Nate Peterman. I think he's a high quality guy.

544
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: I think he throws forevery interception he throws. I think

545
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: he throws a really nice ball too. He's just but

546
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: he's not the answer, right right, Um, So the plan

547
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: was that he sits for a year or so and

548
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: develops and like these other quarterbacks, Mahomes and these guys,

549
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: but they sit under a really good tutor, you know,

550
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: And we haven't had that, right, didn't something. So I'll

551
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: tell you this too, Derek. One of the reasons they

552
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: don't have a guy like that is because they didn't

553
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: have the assets to spend on a guy like that.

554
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons they got rid of Tyrod

555
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: Taylor was a financial reason. Uh, they didn't. They they

556
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: did not want to start investing in a quarterback that

557
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be here that long and that's what

558
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: it was going to take to get one. And now

559
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: they had to continue to clear the decks with a

560
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: quarter for a quarterback, Josh Allen, who could come in

561
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: learn from a guy to just get him through until

562
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: they could get to a point to start alan give

563
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: him a chance to you know, jes date um. The

564
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: only problem with that is that we've we've had we

565
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: know a quarterback is the most important position on the field,

566
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: and we've had this conversation for over a decade. So

567
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: there's got to be some kind of priority set and

568
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: let's do whatever we need to do. We're having all

569
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: these mediocre now less than mediocre years. Let's do whatever

570
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: we need to do and brace ourselves for the less

571
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: than mediocre year and get the guy in place that

572
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: we want Derek, I think that's what's happening here. Yeah,

573
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: I hope you're so, Guys, I want to believe it.

574
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: And that's all. That's what I'm saying in the last time.

575
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: Because with Chad Kelly work in Buffalo with his uncle

576
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: here and get you know, we sign him for the

577
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: league minimum and give him a shot. Him he beat

578
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 1: out Paxton Lynch, a first round draft pick. He obviously

579
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: is a talent. With his uncle here, I've I've kind

580
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: of known some things about him personally and running those

581
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: circles a little bit, and maybe that would work and

582
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: it's worth a shot. Um. I hate to put that

583
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: on Jim, you know, Jim, Yeah, he's done a lot. Yeah.

584
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: Plus I don't know that it would work, work better

585
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: or worse. Yeah, you know. I mean it might be worse.

586
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean coming back and putting him in the same

587
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: situation where he's found trouble here. Yeah, you know. And

588
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: you might say that his family would keep him on

589
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: the straight and narrow. I mean, that's a lot, that's

590
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: a lot of big ifs. Plus you're looking at another Listen,

591
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: let's face it, after the end of this season, if

592
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: you get to the end of this season, this is

593
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: gonna be Josh Allen's team, So what are you talking about?

594
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna bring him in and get him

595
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: the same two weeks that you gave you know, Derek Anderson.

596
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I don't know if that's a good idea.

597
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good idea. And then

598
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: put him in the game, and then Josh Allen gets

599
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: pushed back or gets healthy, and then then what are

600
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: you talking about? I mean, the thought now is that

601
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: no question that the plan to have Josh Allen sit

602
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: behind a quarterback has kind of been blown up. He's

603
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: been in there actually, you know, started him in some games,

604
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: and now he's gotten he got nicked up. When he

605
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: gets healthy, I don't think there's any question. Maybe we'll

606
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: use this as a Twitter poll. Next you put I

607
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: think you plug him back in. When Josh Allen's healthy,

608
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: he's back on the field, So that plan for having

609
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: a guy to come in and back him up or

610
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: play ahead of him is gone. And Chad Kelly is

611
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: like Nate Peterman. He's a second year guy who earned

612
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: something from the team that he was on, and Chad

613
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: hasn't now since been released. Nate Peterman has not. And

614
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people say Nate Peterman should

615
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: have been released for football reasons for throwing interceptions. Chad

616
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: Kelly got released not for football reasons, but for off

617
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: the field issues. So which one, you know, I would

618
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: say that I think top priority. And I'm not telling

619
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: anybody what to do, but Chad Kelly's got to get

620
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: his act together right before he even thinks about playing

621
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: football year there or anywhere. And it's a lot to

622
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: ask his uncle, the Hall of Famer, to uh, you

623
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: know what, baby sit him or take him under his wing.

624
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: He's already done some of that. I mean, some people

625
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: will tell you that's why John Elway drafted Check Kelly.

626
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: Is relationship with Jim Kelly. Yeah, John was quoted as saying, Gee,

627
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: talked to Jim about Chad and Jim endorsed him, and

628
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: John said that's all I needed to hear and drafted him.

Speaker 1: cool community service visit. We went to the hospital and

728
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: I was able to go up to one of the

729
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: wings and we just went through the children's cancer and

730
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,920

731
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: rookie you dressed up in costumes. I went as a

732
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: hot dog. Yeah. And there's some Bill's fan page that

733
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: somebody created called Harrison Phillips hot Dog Arms, and so

734
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: it was kind of a play on it. I don't

735
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: know how how and what they did and how they

736
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: did it, but I rolled with it. So you're in,

737
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: you're this week eight of the NFL season slipping by

738
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: pretty fast. Yeah, I would definitely say, and you know,

739
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: week eight, but game twelve, I mean considering those preseason

740
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: games and so to think that this is kind of

741
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: my first college season is over at this point of

742
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: twelve games, so, um, it's kind of like it's sophomore

743
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: sophomore season. It's time to step up, and you know,

744
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: I know what I need to work on. I've seen

745
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: my play in the NFL, and um, you know, eager

746
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: and excited to continue to get back to work and

747
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: work on the things that we continue to see on film.

748
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: So you came in and made the team, You're you're

749
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: playing a big role on the defensive line. You guys

750
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: are actually playing very well, your top five, top ten defense.

751
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: And then yet last week he had a setback talk

752
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: to us a little bit about the Colt game, and

753
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: you know the Colts success. Yeah, you know, I think

754
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: that they just kind of nicked us with so many

755
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: pop problem runs, um, and we couldn't really stop the

756
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: rong game, which was kind of our thing going in.

757
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: They were all week we had seen that you know,

758
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: they had thrown more pass attempts than any other team. Yeah,

759
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: any any team in the country. And I think that

760
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: was maybe our mindset going in. Maybe we were thinking heavy,

761
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: heavy pass a little bit, but um, they just you

762
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: really couldn't get a feel for what they're doing. They'd

763
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: run a bounce to the you know, one side, then

764
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: they'd counter us and they hit a wham and then

765
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: max pro shot. I mean, it was just you couldn't

766
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: really get into a rhythm of overcome seats. Yeah, it

767
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: was a successful I thought with them wham block. You

768
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: talk about that forty five, that smallish tight end. He

769
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: did that a lot in that game. Huh yeah. I'm

770
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: right over the middle and did that a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

771
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: So what dumb It looked like the Bills, and I

772
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: want to focus too much on the Colts game, but

773
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: it looked like you were prepared to rush the passer.

774
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of a Tremaine and uh Edmonds

775
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: and Malanta lining up like double a gap, and yet

776
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: they they ran out of that. They weren't going to

777
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: throw it as much maybe as the Bills anticipated. Huh yeah,

778
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, you know what you said, seventy percent

779
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: of their plays where passes going into it and it's

780
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: probably reverse in our game seventy percent run run. Yeah,

781
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: so you know, uh kind of flipped a script on us.

782
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: And like I said, if we could have maybe got

783
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: a better feel for what they were running at halftime,

784
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: but it was just all different moving parts. What is

785
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: that meeting room like? What Monday? When you look at

786
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: that video and see what they did? I mean, is

787
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: it do you walk out of there or your head

788
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: hanging or how do how do the coaches handle that?

789
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: What's a meeting room like after a game like that? Well,

790
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: I think everybody handles it differently. Um. I think that

791
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: our whole scouting department and coaching staff has found amazing

792
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: group of guys that you know, are really trying to

793
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 1: fit this book Bill's culture, and so I think everyone

794
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: might take it their own way. I'm very hard on myself,

795
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: very critical. So yeah, that the heads down a little bit.

796
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: But just as coach McDermott praises and preaches, it is

797
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: a huge opportunity to learn and so taking advantage of

798
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: every rep that we you know, weren't gap sound on,

799
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: or that we anticipated the wrong play on and learn

800
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: from those things. When do you start diving into the

801
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: Patriots film. I know as as a team, we got

802
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: to see it a little bit today and just kind

803
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: of some problem stuff that they do, Flavor of the

804
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: week stuff, look at taking a look at what they

805
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: did to us last year. But we'll get our game

806
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 1: plan stuff tomorrow. We'll just treat that like a normal Wednesday. Personally,

807
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: I got into them and Friday or sorry, Monday when

808
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: we got off, that's normally when I start my prep.

809
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: So got it, got two good days in already. You

810
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: got to pick your own video to watch your Do

811
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: you ask the video group for give me this, give

812
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: me that, give me these cut ups? Do? They have

813
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: pretty much anything available that I could ask for. And

814
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: so I kind of have a routine of what I

815
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: like to do my process, and it seems to be

816
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: I've obviously bounced ideas off of some of the vets

817
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: in the room and found something that I feel pretty

818
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: comfortable and uh feel prepared going into games. And that's

819
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: what I was going to ask you, who who did

820
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: you bounce that? I mean, you gotta know that they've

821
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: got you know, Kyle and Star have their process they

822
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: go through and their prep. Did you bounce your stuff

823
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: off them, take some tips from them. Yeah, and I asked,

824
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: you know a lot of guys through the room what

825
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: they do, and then it does just so happen that

826
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: I like the style Kyle text towards it and being

827
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: on top of everything early. And even though on a

828
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: typical week, our Wednesday we're looking at the runs, you're

829
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: so far ahead that on Wednesday you can start looking

830
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: at the passes and you know you're always kind of

831
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: a step ahead. And that's really mainly take advantage of

832
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: your off day. So a lot of times Kyle and

833
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: I will be in there on the off day. We've

834
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: lifted different times, gotta have different morning schedules, different but

835
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: we both are in there, eating our lunch and can

836
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: watch film. Now, what you just describe, and I know people,

837
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: especially after a couple of losses, people kind of yeah,

838
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: write culture. What you just describe is an exact to

839
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: me description of what culture means on a practical basis.

840
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: So the fact that you get a little bit or

841
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: a jump on it, do it a little bit earlier,

842
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: go to breakfast with Kyle, talk about it. That's team culture.

843
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: That's what coach McDermot was talking about. Isn't it. Yeah,

844
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: I think it's perfect case and point. You can see

845
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: that in other people's rooms too. Um, where you have

846
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: a veteran leader or someone who has some playing time

847
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: under their belt, who does things the right way, and

848
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: all of us young guys that they're bringing in through

849
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: the draft. That's the only taste we have of the NFL.

850
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: That's that's what NFL life is like, you know. So, Um,

851
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: I can't be you know, happy enough of the whole

852
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: process of how I got to be here and who's

853
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: here now that I am here? Um, And yeah, taking

854
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: advantage of everything that that Kyle is willing to to

855
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: share is very very Hell. We're with Harrison Phillips, Buffalo

856
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: third run draft pick, defensive tackle. Them curious about your

857
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: role and um, you know where you're playing? Are you

858
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: one technique? Three technique? And did things change a little

859
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: bit when when your cousin, Jordan Phillips showed up a

860
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Uh, you know, I'm just here

861
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: to play football. I'm a football player. That's the role

862
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to take on. Um. I'm a sponge. Uh,

863
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: you know, just just here to take up as much

864
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: knowledge as I can. Um. Yeah, I think as of lately,

865
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: I've been playing more platoon in with firstall are down

866
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: in there, but as the game goes, as tempo goes,

867
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: pass downs, rundowns, I'm able to get over on a

868
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: guard and do some things too. But yeah, just eager

869
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: to learn as much way as I can. And although

870
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm not getting as many opportunities to rush the passer

871
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: on our third down sub package, understanding all of our packaging,

872
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, Kyle's kind of the quarterback of the defense

873
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: in that realm of things, and so I feel very

874
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: comfortable that I could do those things as well if

875
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: the time whatever came to do that. A lot of that,

876
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: a lot of it seems to have to do with

877
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: also the down and distance too. If it's a nobvious

878
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: if it's a third and nine or third and twelve,

879
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: it's a lot different personnel on the crew that on

880
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: the field that it may be at a third and two,

881
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: h third and three, right, Yeah, absolutely, And we want

882
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: to get to our green group if we can, you know,

883
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: the third and long group, if we can get if

884
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: we can stop the run or stop whatever happens on

885
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: first and second down and get somebody in third and

886
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: long rather than third and manageable. You know, we're we're

887
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: that's when we're the top five defense. You know, we

888
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: get that group out there and they're rolling. And that

889
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: is a tip of the hat to Kyle because he

890
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: can get out there and you know, if it's empty

891
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: and it's three by two, he knows the center's going

892
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: this way. If they have a chipper in he wants

893
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: to run a stunt with Jerry to get him off that.

894
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: You know, he can really command the things out there,

895
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: playing within the defense that we have of the playbook obviously,

896
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: but those are the little nuances that I'm trying to

897
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: pick up on. So if my number ever needed to

898
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: get called, I could come out there and I wouldn't

899
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: be drowning. I would say, you know, I feel comfortable.

900
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: I can see this, I know where the protections going,

901
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: I know what that back's going to do. You know

902
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: all the intellectual side of the game. Harrison, here's a

903
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: question you probably cannot answer. I'm gonna ask you anyway,

904
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: which is closer to the real Buffalo defense what we

905
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: saw in that four game stretch. I was looking today.

906
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: Bills gave up four offensive touchdowns in a four game stretch.

907
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: Four and a half game stretch. Was that the Buffalo

908
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: defense or maybe the issues that we saw against the

909
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: Colton even way back against the Ravens, was that the

910
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense? What do you think? I mean, you know,

911
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: being a part of the team through training camp, preseason,

912
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: the way we handle ourselves at practice, through the season

913
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: and stuff, I would definitely say that we're a very

914
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: good defense. We have all the pieces in the room

915
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: and so definitely that that side. More so, I wonder,

916
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: and I have one more question for you. As a rookie,

917
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: and you know you go to school at Stanford, I'm

918
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: sure you have friends in the NFL. Who do you

919
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: compare notes with? Who do you talk to the most about? Hey,

920
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: how's it going there? Guys on other teams? Maybe is

921
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: there anybody in Lena or Talctor a little bit? Yeah,

922
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, not necessarily compare notes, but just checking in

923
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: seeing how guys are doing. Um, you know, uh tried FaceTime.

924
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: My buddy saw him in last night place for the Niners.

925
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: Blake Martinez with the Packers. I was one of one

926
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: of my best friends through college. But you see my class, Um,

927
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: really there's only about four or five of my class

928
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: that are in the NFL right now. Majority of them

929
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: stayed back and took a fifth year. UM, so most

930
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: of my roommates and things like that are still back

931
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: at Stanford, UM trying to be the Kings of the

932
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: North in the PAC twelve. How they doing? Uh? Pretty well.

933
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: They got a really big matchup. They have one Pack

934
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: twelve loss and they're playing the Coogs this week and

935
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: I think if they win that they'll be the head

936
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: of the North. Uh. Washington, Washington State. Harrison, thanks for this.

937
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: We gotta get you in good talking with you. Yeah,

938
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: I hope to be back soon. Harrison Phillips Bill's third

939
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: run draft pick defensive tackle. Steve and I are coming

940
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: back One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. This is

941
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Steve Harrison Phillips is an impressive young man.

942
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: Isn't he like having amround this team? And I'm telling

943
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: you when he's look, people don't want to hear this.

944
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: When you lost too in a row and you're two

945
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 1: and five and you got smoked by the Indianapolis Colts.

946
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 1: People hear the Bills talk about culture or team culture

947
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: and they laugh, they laugh. I'm telling you when Harrison

948
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 1: Phillips talked about meeting with Kyle on off days, looking

949
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: at video a day ahead so you have a jump

950
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: on it. Having breakfast with Kyle discussing what they've lucked

951
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: at video. That, my friends, is a concrete example of

952
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: what I believe his team team culture is all about.

953
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead and laugh, but I believe that's real, and

954
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: I believe it's beneficial. Yeah, and Nick, and you're right,

955
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: it is and it it goes a long way toward

956
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: winning games and getting the most out of your roster

957
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: and having guys play above there where they normally would

958
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: you would think their capabilities would take them like they

959
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: did last year, the entire squad, that's what they were

960
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: at last year. I think there is a place, though,

961
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: where you get to where um, you gotta you gotta

962
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: bring some talented guys in, and there's and I've got

963
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: had a lot of coaches say, listen, you do need

964
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: all those guys you can get. You need guys who

965
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: are like Harrison Phillips, like Kyle Williams, like Jerry Hughes,

966
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: like Lorenzo Alexander, like all these guys that are real

967
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 1: quality guys. But a lot of coaches will tell you, listen,

968
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: you also need a couple of guys. You just hope

969
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: they show up on time. Players need guys. Yeah, you

970
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: need one or two guys like to set a tone

971
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: like we had. Yeah we had some. We had some

972
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: animals on my team that I was with back in

973
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: the day. You can look at any other team and

974
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: they'll tell you, say, which who's the guy who you

975
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: don't want to meet in a dark alley or if

976
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: you're in a dark alley, you want him on your side.

977
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: And you know there's guys and the Bills aren't talking

978
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: about choir boys. McDermot has been quoted as saying that

979
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: you're not talking about, you know, do gooders, choir boys,

980
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: talking about people who want to work, who love football

981
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: and want to work at football. That's what I think

982
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: the culture is. It's not you know, doing good deeds,

983
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: going to the hospital of visiting kids. That's great, they do,

984
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: that is, But what it is is showing up to

985
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: work on time and working hard while you're here, doing

986
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: the right thing, trying to get better, and also making

987
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: a real effort to make other guys around you better

988
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: and having a personality and a and a heart for

989
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: the game and for your team that will give you

990
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: open to being coached hard or or improved upon by

991
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: your teammates. Having a teammate come over and say, hey, bro,

992
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 1: you can't do that for this reason and this reason,

993
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: And you got to be able to say, you know what, Okay,

994
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: I won't I'll try and I'm gonna get better. I'm

995
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: gonna do that because you told me that. Um there's

996
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: a real atmosphere of improvement around the locker room that

997
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: helps everybody, and I think it's really really important. And

998
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: when you can get to that point where you've got

999
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 1: enough guys in the room who trust each other enough

1000
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: to know that everybody in that room has got your

1001
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: best interests at heart and you'll listen to what they say,

1002
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: that's a great spot to be in and you are

1003
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: going to get more out of less on your roster.

1004
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: So I think I'm a big fan of the culture

1005
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: they're trying to build here. I'm a big fan of

1006
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys that are trying to do

1007
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: it with certainly the leadership in this in this building.

1008
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot more that goes into it, though. I mean,

1009
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: you got to you gotta win games. You gotta win games,

1010
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: because I've seen seen a lot of really quality people,

1011
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people we love and respect get fired

1012
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: because they can't win games. And that's you know, that's

1013
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: the bottom line. And as much as it does help you,

1014
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: you gotta get it done. A break here when we

00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: Game two coming up tonight at eight o nine pm.

1066
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show, John Murphy, Steve Tasker from

1067
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: our one Buffalo studio in Orchard Park. Thurman Thomas going

1068
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: to join us in a couple of minutes. He's busy

1069
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: doing interviews on this Thurman Thomas week. In Western New York.

1070
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: We have proclaimed it Thomas Thomas Month, and we have

1071
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: proclaimed at Thurman Thomas Month here in Western New York

1072
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: getting his number retired on Monday at halftime, Steve, I

1073
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: watched our World Series innings five through nine last night.

1074
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: It was a pretty interesting game five through nine. The

1075
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: last three hours was about three hours. Yeah, it was

1076
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: two hours. I got home around ten and watched the

1077
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: game until it ended a little bit after midnight. And

1078
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: that's where I want to get to. And I know

1079
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: you're you're an anti baseball guys, something to do with what,

1080
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, being raised by Communist parents or something.

1081
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: So at baseball, really anti baseball, which is troubling to

1082
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: me in many respects. You questioned my character. Well, yeah,

1083
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: most Americans have a fondness and infinite Americans. Yes, an

1084
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: affinity for baseball national pastime. That's not an It's the

1085
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: World Series. Doesn't that mean anything to you When you

1086
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: were a little kid, did you not pay attention to

1087
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: the World Series? No, we're a little kid. Maybe I

1088
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: mean the NFL wasn't big back then, nineteen seventies, not

1089
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 1: that as big as it is now. Sixties and seventies.

1090
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: World Series is it and it still is. And it

1091
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: was a very interesting game. And here's the difference. I

1092
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: sat there last night. I came home from the event

1093
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: here at the stadium and watched it in solitude. My

1094
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: wife won't watch it. Watched the World Series in solitude,

1095
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, what do I like about

1096
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: this that maybe Tasker doesn't get or doesn't see. And

1097
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's it's a sense of

1098
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: the past. No, No, I don't know. And I think, uh,

1099
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: there's something about the pace, but more something about them.

1100
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm having trouble articulating this. No, it's deep. There's there's

1101
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: depth in every pitch. And John Smoltz on Fox, he

1102
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: works with Joe Buck on these games. He is a master.

1103
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: He's unbelievable and to the point where last night I'm thinking,

1104
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: all right, Smolty because I don't know him and I

1105
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: consider him a friend, right, all right, smallty. He can't

1106
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: look at this, always has a picture, but he does

1107
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: every pitch. He will analyze for you as what a

1108
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: picture is. Thinking here and what a picture is thinking here,

1109
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: the picture batter battle is the essence of baseball, and

1110
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: Smoltz plugs into that with every pitch. I find that fascinating.

1111
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: I've never pitched Major League Baseball, I've never pitched anywhere,

1112
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: but to hear Smoltz described what he wants to throw

1113
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: now and what he's thinking now the picture and what's

1114
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: the batter looking for, it's fascinating to me. It's deep,

1115
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: it's it's layered. It's like an onion with all these

1116
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: layers and you peel them off and there's something else there.

1117
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: That's what I like about baseball, and that's I don't

1118
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I think it's very

1119
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: deep and very h I'm not gonna saying intellectual because

1120
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: it's baseball. But I think it's deep and it's um

1121
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 1: it's it's multi layered, which is what I like about baseball.

1122
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't love baseball. I like the NFL better. I

1123
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: get it. I love the violence and the speed and

1124
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: the action and the colors of the NFL. But baseball

1125
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: has a lot to offer. I think you're missing out there, buddy,

1126
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: I really do. I'd feel bad for you. No baseball

1127
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: it's the heart of a heart of baseball is a

1128
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: judgment call that can get be gotten wrong at any moment. Oh,

1129
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: that never happens in the NFL. And it's not at

1130
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: the heart of the game. What do you mean, the

1131
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: heart of the game? Balls and strikes. Yeah, those guys

1132
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: are remarkably good. Those umpires are remarkably good. And they've

1133
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: got and every baseball guy, every baseball guy you'll ever

1134
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: talked to, talk about an umpire that deliberately got a

1135
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: call wrong because they got mad at the player because

1136
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: the player turned around, looked at him in question a

1137
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: ball to strike, and then the next pitch was a strike,

1138
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: even if it was over the batter's head. Then you've

1139
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: got Then you've got very the simple fact that the

1140
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 1: pace of the game is allows its un reflection. Yeah, yeah,

1141
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: it allows the picture to think. I don't think every

1142
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: batter up there needs to meditate like they do. It

1143
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: moves take time, it moves death. It's glacial paste and

1144
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: after midnight and it's horrible and the end. And you

1145
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: really have to be a high level baseball fan to

1146
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: get into a conversation with a guy like Schmolt who

1147
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: knows the pitches and knows how pictures think and batters think,

1148
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: and the strategies and the at bats and why this

1149
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: at bat is important, and whether it's a good at

1150
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: bat or a bad at bat. But in actuality, I

1151
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: think my problems with baseball go to the fact that

1152
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 1: it disguises itself as a team sport when it's not,

1153
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: and it cultivates an attitude and a personality type from now.

1154
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: There are a lot of any guys playing baseball, Don't

1155
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:02,919
Speaker 1: get me wrong. There are a lot of great, yeah,

1156
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: great dudes playing America. The game cultivates something just the

1157
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: opposite of that. It cultivates a selfish atmosphere inside a

1158
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,879
Speaker 1: group setting, and that to me is cancerous from where

1159
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: I came from as a football play. I don't know

1160
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: if I agree with that either. I don't know if

1161
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: I ever get you on board here, buddy, No, you're oh,

1162
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: it's hey. I'm welcome to being talked into it. But

1163
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: for everything you've just told me, no, Okay, I disagree

1164
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: with you. I know, I know we can still like

1165
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: each other a little less maybe right, and in the

1166
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: political climate in which we live, you and I can

1167
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: disagree and still like each Like most people unlike everybody else.

1168
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about race relations. Yeah, let's do

1169
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: something less controversial than baseball. Let's talk try to folks.

1170
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get him on board with baseball. Everybody else,

1171
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: let's think I made some head weight. I'm telling you

1172
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: right now, and I'll tell you this. I'll make this

1173
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: assertion which I don't want to get. I don't want

1174
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: to get it. But there are probably more people who

1175
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: feel like I do than there who feel like you do.

1176
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: Oh really, I do. I really believe there are more

1177
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 1: people who think about baseball like I think about baseball.

1178
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm just I'm not saying they're right

1179
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: or wrong. I think I'm right, but that that goes

1180
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: without saying. But I think I think there are more

1181
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: people who agree with me about baseball than there are

1182
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: who agree with you. I get the value that baseball

1183
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: has had, and I think in a time when it

1184
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: was when when it was the game of America, before

1185
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: every game was televised or you know, all this other

1186
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: sports were televising, before there was other these other options

1187
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: that we have these days, like the X Games and

1188
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: the Olympics and the golf and football. Of course, college

1189
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: football before there are all these other things. Baseball was it.

1190
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: It was the only thing. There was only the only

1191
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 1: sport in America to watch. So um for that reason,

1192
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, and I think every time

1193
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: you get into a conversation like this, they say, wow,

1194
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: the past, you know, and back you know, Mickey Mantelin,

1195
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: that's all they talk about that. I didn't say anything

1196
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: about how it's coming to all the statistics they come

1197
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: and it hasn't been since nineteen thirty two that none

1198
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: of that has been around. That. That's true about the past,

1199
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: but the game, the present days game. Look, I don't

1200
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: even have a team. People say, what's your team? I

1201
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: don't really have a team. I used to like the Orioles,

1202
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: who used to like the Blue Jays. I saw an

1203
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: awful lot of the Yankees. I don't have a team.

1204
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: Is that a joke there? I mean it used to

1205
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: like this team, used to like that. I never really

1206
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: bought into one team. I like the game. I like

1207
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: the way they think through the game. I like, as

1208
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: I said, the onionlike layers of complexity. And I can't

1209
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: see I can't see the thinking in the game. All right, Well,

1210
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: I can see I can see the thinking of the

1211
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: game in football. See if you can think about this.

1212
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: We're talking about the NFL trade deadline six days away.

1213
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: Thurmon Thomas is coming up this hour. We believe NFL

1214
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: trade deadline six days away. What do the Bills need

1215
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: in an NFL trade? By next Tuesday four PM. Got

1216
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: more than sixteen hundred votes in already on this What

1217
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: are the Bills need in a trade? Fifty two percent

1218
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: of our respondents say wide receiver, twenty five percent say

1219
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 1: they need something with the offensive line, thirteen percent a quarterback,

1220
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: ten percent say others. Yes, you can say draft picks,

1221
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: they need draft picks. If you think that, give us

1222
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: a call. Let's discuss eighth three fifty to three one

1223
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: eight eight. I will say this, so the feedback we've gotten,

1224
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: I don't and you always kind of get this when

1225
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: you talk about trades and your team doing making changes

1226
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: with their roster and coaching staff and all this other

1227
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: stuff that they're possible. It's possible for them to do.

1228
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: But I think there's a lot of sentiment in Buffalo

1229
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: that they would love the Bills to get into the

1230
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: trade market. They want to see some changes, they don't

1231
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: want to see this this same you know, this bad offense,

1232
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: keep going, they want to say. And of course the

1233
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: fact that the defense stumbled this last week against the

1234
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: Colts is disturbing because you know, we really felt like

1235
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: we could you could kind of depend on the defense,

1236
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: and then when they had a bad game like they

1237
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: did against the Colts, anythink, oh now everything is blow

1238
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 1: everything up. So everybody, I think is in a mood

1239
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: this week to say, listen, we got to change some things.

1240
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: Let's get some new some fresh faces, some fresh talent

1241
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: in here, no matter what it is, and even if

1242
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: it is draft picks, at least that throws it down

1243
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: the road or we can look forward to getting somebody.

1244
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: So I think for the most part, the feedback we've

1245
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: gotten is listen, the Bills need to be active in

1246
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: this trade. Then I don't know if it's right, I

1247
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: believe it, but that's that's where I am because and

1248
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: for and it's on the offensive side of the ball. Look,

1249
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: they've played almost a half season now with those receivers

1250
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: doing absolutely nothing really, and I'd be okay getting some

1251
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: help at receiver. I'd be okay moving on some of

1252
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: the receivers they have. I think that would be my

1253
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: number one, number two. Maybe offensive line, although I'm I'm

1254
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: thinking you won't get much of value in the trademark

1255
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: on on offensive line, and I don't want to give

1256
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: up a lot here to get somebody. But that's those

1257
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: are the two things I'd look for, is getting help

1258
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: at receiver, getting help at offensive line. But let's hear

1259
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: from you. Let's go to the phone lines. Maybe it's

1260
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: quarterback eighth three fifty toll free one eight eight eight

1261
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty Ryan on the line from

1262
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Go ahead, Ryan, welcome to the show. Hey guys,

1263
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: Now we do it okay. Well, so obviously there's a

1264
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: serious disparity between the talent of the defense and the

1265
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: talent of the offense. And lastly that Ke's the enemy

1266
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: of the defense has a bad game. There is absolutely

1267
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: nothing the offense can do. I mean, the defense can

1268
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: carry the offense, you know, like that against the Vikings,

1269
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: um like they did it really against the Texans. I

1270
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: mean though the fact we didn't win that game is

1271
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:09,439
Speaker 1: just shameful as well as played. So you know, wide

1272
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: receiver being the big you know, front runner. If we

1273
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: could get somebody like a sterling shepherd, Deshan Jackson, Emmanuel Sanders,

1274
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: that'd be phenomenal. I mean, but it still you got

1275
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: to get the ball to these guys. So if the

1276
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't play out, I mean, obviously we drew out

1277
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: something about Chad Kelly. I mean, I know he's got

1278
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: off the field issues, but if you look at the

1279
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: guy in the pre season and how you look, you know,

1280
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: how he played beating out Backston Lynch, and I know

1281
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,919
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna be on board with that, Murph,

1282
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: but you know, it looks like a talented guy. So

1283
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: that's my take. And where the tallenger you see where

1284
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: in the film he played very well and you may say, hey,

1285
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: well so did Nathan Peterman. A lot of that stuff

1286
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: was designed. Obviously we've seen the play out there and

1287
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: and you know, you're right, obviously Live Bullocks hasn't happened,

1288
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: but looked very solid. A lot of anticipatory throws, a

1289
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: lot of back shoulder stuff, throwing guys open in some cases.

1290
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and obviously if you beat out

1291
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Paxson Lynch, who's a first rounder, I mean, Nate Peterman

1292
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: beat out a rookie who's also a first rounder, but

1293
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: who was one of the most raw coming out Paxson

1294
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: Lynch really counted. I just feel like there might be

1295
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: if he can get some help and mentoring. Possibly, I mean,

1296
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: but then again, maybe that creates the controversy if he's

1297
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: good in the year or two. I don't know. I

1298
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: got a question for You're you're saying you're not suggesting

1299
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: to bring Chad Kelly in to mentor Josh Allen. No, no,

1300
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think so you're using up

1301
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: a spot. Are you're gonna say, kick Nate Peterman to

1302
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: the curb and bring Chad Kelly in and stay with

1303
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson? Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean, Nathan Peterman is

1304
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: a gem of a guy, and he's wonderful, and obviously

1305
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: the Bill Stap love him, and I get that. But

1306
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: let's be honest. It's not handing out for the game.

1307
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. Ryan, thanks for the call. I

1308
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: appreciate your point. But here's the problem with trading for

1309
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: another quarterback or picking up Chad Kelly off the street.

1310
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: So the guy comes in, you give him a chance

1311
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: to kenna get acclimated. What a couple of weeks like

1312
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: they gave Derek Anderson the only reason Derek Henderson got

1313
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: on the field was because Josh got hurt. So you

1314
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: got Derek Anderson. He's gonna stay there until presumably Chad Kelly,

1315
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Allen gets well, and then Josh Allen

1316
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: will get plugged back in and Derek Derek Anderson will

1317
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: be behind him, and by that time you're gonna say,

1318
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: get Chad ready, Chad Kelly ready to play, and then

1319
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: I have a hard time see him for what I mean,

1320
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about a third string quarterback by that time,

1321
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: unless you want to let him start to be the

1322
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. See. The quarterback position to me is off

1323
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: the table now because they've got Derek Anderson. He's playing.

1324
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna do nothing but getting more and more acclimated

1325
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: to this offense, presumably play better and better without turning

1326
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: the football all over or without having to try and

1327
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: turn the football over coming back from a twenty four

1328
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: point deficit, you know, and the defense will start playing

1329
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: better theoretically again. So to me, the quarterback position now

1330
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: for the Bills is kind of off the table for

1331
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the trade market because it takes so long to get

1332
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: a guy acclimated. You've got the veteran guy who's gonna

1333
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: mentor him as the way Derek Derek Anderson did for

1334
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: Cam Newton in Carolina, and has the ability to do it,

1335
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: the willingness to do it, and now he's playing a

1336
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: little bit and has gaining some knowledge about the offense.

1337
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you're with me on this

1338
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: or not, but I think the quarterback thing in this

1339
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: trade talk that we're having today is off the table.

1340
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: There's no reason to bring another guy in, well, not

1341
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: a developmental guy. And I hope we're not misinterpreting what

1342
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: the caller from North Carolina right was saying. I don't

1343
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: think he was saying bringing ched Kelly and get him

1344
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: ready to play, just to check him out. Yeah, look again,

1345
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: I'll repeat this, Jed Kelly needs to straighten h South

1346
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: out first. That should be everybody's first priority, including the Brockots.

1347
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Sounds like it is number two. Check Kelly if he

1348
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: is a prospect, is a prospect for down the road

1349
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: next year at the earliest. I would think if he

1350
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: is a prospect here or anywhere else. And Steve's I

1351
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: believe right about this. They're not gonna bring in Chad

1352
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Kelly and say go ahead and play this year, Chad.

1353
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Do you think the caller was suggesting that. I don't

1354
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: think so. I think he's probably I think depth chart

1355
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: is probably one and two Josh Allen and the and

1356
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson. That's set. I would think for the rest

1357
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: of the year. What happens behind them, I don't know. Now.

1358
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: I could see I could see him kind of rolling

1359
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: through quarterbacks bringing guys into workout. Chad Kelly maybe on

1360
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: that list. There's probably a ton of guys on that list.

1361
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna bring guys into working Paxson Lynch maybe on

1362
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: that list for all I know the guy that Chad

1363
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: Kelly beat out um, But I think you know there there.

1364
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: It's way too early to think there's even another name

1365
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: the Bills want to think about besides Josh Allen. Right,

1366
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: he's the project. He's the guy, and he's gonna be

1367
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: the guy until he proves yes or no that he is.

1368
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: And uh, that's they're not gonna do anything for another

1369
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how you pick your plus and he's

1370
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: not going anywhere until for another they're't even gonna whisper

1371
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: about that for another year. There's a call from Anthony

1372
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: and Amherstello, Anthony, go ahead, you're on the air with this.

1373
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: Oh it's Steve by John. Hey, real quick, I just

1374
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you some of my best memories are

1375
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: sitting outside He's te nuts and drink of beer with

1376
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: my dad, watching Bison games or or Yankees games. It's um,

1377
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: it's really a great time. I think you've missed out

1378
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: there a little bit. But I just want to say,

1379
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: real quick, I'd like to see us go offensive line

1380
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: and wide receiver, not necessarily in that order, but I

1381
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,439
Speaker 1: think we need to addrest that in our first three pick.

1382
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: And you know, kids, this offense a little bit better

1383
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: suited for Josh and yeah, poured into into the future,

1384
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: just just a little bit. Other than that, as far

1385
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: as this week coming up, i'd like to see Anderson

1386
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: with another week to prepare under the cell. I thought

1387
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: we were too well until that unfortunate play. With the play,

1388
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: I really thought that the time you are killed. I

1389
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: think we need to see another another game with them. Yeah,

1390
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 1: I agree that those early, those early plays that turn disastrous.

1391
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Let's let's face it, and let's be honest with everybody

1392
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: here about what where the Bills are right now? They don't.

1393
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: They don't have a margin of error to come back

1394
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: from twenty four or nothing down at halftime. They're not

1395
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: going to do that with this offense. Their defense has

1396
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: to show up in a big way of weekend. There's

1397
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. Their margin of errors just not there.

1398
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: They've got to score enough points offensively with an offense

1399
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: that's hampered by wide receivers, by offensive line, by young quarterbacks,

1400
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: by inexperienced quarterbacks, whatever you name it. Their defense has

1401
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: to show up and their offense cannot turn the football

1402
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: over and have them win. We have I've used the

1403
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: word recipe as much as Sean mcdermot's used the word process.

1404
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: It's a recipe they have to follow to win. Last

1405
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: week they were off of that. They were off of

1406
01:05:55,960 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: that recipe quick. They were down fourteen nothing, then twenty one,

1407
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: and then they threw an interception, got tipped and they

1408
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: brought it back and they gave him a field goal

1409
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: just before halftime. It's twenty four nothing. That's it. I mean,

1410
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: this team has to play good defense. They have to

1411
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: incorporate the running game, they have to have time of possession,

1412
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: and they have to win the turnover battle. That's a

1413
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: lot of things to have to do to win a

1414
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: football game. They can't overcome that stuff, and that's just

1415
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: that's the way it's gonna be for the twenty eighteen

1416
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: season to me. And when you get teams that take

1417
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: him off of that, it's gonna be a rough day

1418
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: for him. Um. Yeah, I had something earlier. I can't

1419
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 1: remember what it was. I don't think um, you know,

1420
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: to the caller's point, I don't think that. Um, well,

1421
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: let's take a call. I'll think about that. He made

1422
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: an interesting point that I wanted to respond. Doing it now,

1423
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: Chuck and Camden, New Jersey. Chuck, you're calling from Jersey, No,

1424
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: New York, York. Where's that north of Syracuse, Camden, New York?

1425
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: I never heard of it, nor thanks for tuning in.

1426
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Yeah, we're in between Syracuse and watertownel Reason.

1427
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Are you on the river? What's that? Are

1428
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: on the river or in the country? Back there a

1429
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 1: little bit? We're we're in the country. We still wait

1430
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: for Paul Revere to deliver the mail there, all right.

1431
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know Paul Revere or delivered mail, but you're

1432
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:24,919
Speaker 1: getting us online anyway. Go ahead, metaphors, all right, all right, Yeah,

1433
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 1: I got a quick question and then the comments afterwards.

1434
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: What's what support things are? What's the four quarterbacks that

1435
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: we had had have some preseason have in common inexperience?

1436
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: Well not Anderson. Well, he didn't have any experience in

1437
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: this offense. I think, Chuck, what about you? What do

1438
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: you think? Well, I'm afraid about this legalize in marijuana

1439
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: because I just don't get why we want to all

1440
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, dump another quarterback in there. One.

1441
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 1: To me, it's blatantly you know out there that we

1442
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: need an offensive line and we need receivers, receivers that

1443
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: can actually move the ball after they cut it. Chuck,

1444
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm totally with you. It's not about the quarterbacks for me.

1445
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question we need to develop Josh Allen.

1446
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 1: We needed Nate Peterman to play better than he was

1447
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: able to play early on, and Derek Anderson needs more

1448
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: time in the offense and more acclaimations to the team

1449
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: and the culture to even be effective as a quarterback. Plus,

1450
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: he's not going to be able as a guy who

1451
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: comes in after two weeks in the system to be

1452
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: able to overcome a know, a tight end, fumbling the

1453
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 1: football away on that first series or coming back from

1454
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: a three point or three touchdown deficit. So you're right.

1455
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't think there's no question the quarterbacks haven't played

1456
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: well enough. But you've got in a position with him

1457
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: now where you're trying to develop Josh Allen and getting

1458
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: him back on the football field and do as well

1459
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: as you can with Derek Anderson. This trade deadline coming

1460
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: up in a week is what's our topic is today.

1461
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with quarterback play. I mean,

1462
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: this is the quarterback play everything else. No, who are

1463
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 1: they gonna trade? Are they gonna get another quarterback in here?

1464
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: But they're not gonna improve this week. They're trying to

1465
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: win now, they're trying to win every week. They can't.

1466
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I get it that it's always

1467
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: on the table. But you're not gonna get a guy

1468
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: that's going to come in and be the franchise guy

1469
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: right now. No. But but if you get a guy

1470
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: who's going to come in and upgrade over Peterman, for example,

1471
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: he's not going to see the field. Who the guy

1472
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 1: that replaces Peterman maybe next year the year after get

1473
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: better at the position. What's wrong with that? That's not

1474
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: the that's not the priority. Now you're trying to get guys.

1475
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 1: You're just trying to get offensive lineman, wide receivers. You're

1476
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: trying to get some guys. I'm saying, if you get

1477
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: better at quarterback and add somebody who improves your quarterback room,

1478
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: how do you know? How do you know that anybody

1479
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 1: you get is going to do that? Well, you don't

1480
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: know what about receivers or offensive lineman either. Yeah, but

1481
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: it's like the same thing you've got Looking at the

1482
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: way the guys played in it for his former team,

1483
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: Receivers and quarter receivers are easy to see. Quarterbacks you

1484
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: name that, you can name those guys. There's like four

1485
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: of them. I wouldn't rule it out, That's what I'm saying.

1486
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: I think I would completely rule it out. I don't

1487
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: think they're gonna make a move at quarterback this year.

1488
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: I think they'll make it. They've made three moves already.

1489
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if they see a quarterback who can get

1490
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: that room better and be a more capable back up

1491
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: in the future, why wouldn't they do that? What would

1492
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: be wrong with that? Like bringing another veteran guy like

1493
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 1: a like a Derek Ander, like a Ryan Fitzpatrick kind

1494
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: of guy, seriously or a more a better guy, because

1495
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 1: then you get talking about taking Josh Allen's job. I'm

1496
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: talking about taking you know, get over Nathan Peterman. Yeah, frankly, yeah,

1497
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: that's that's boring because well, it doesn't help us on

1498
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: the feet and he's playing if he has to play,

1499
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: if Josh is hurt, and Steve, you know, if if

1500
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson takes a hit on the elbow Sunday, you

1501
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: guess who's playing. And I get it. I get it.

1502
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean you're you're you're talking long term. Yeah, yeah,

1503
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: it's like to me, that's like getting a draft pick.

1504
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 1: Well maybe a little bit better. Tom and west Seneca

1505
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: A go ahead, Tom, you around the air, John, Steve,

1506
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: thanks for having me, I appreciator. It's clearly problematical. I'm

1507
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: going to point the finger at the offensive line of it.

1508
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 1: Our passing game, in our running game is all effect.

1509
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: It's buy our offensive line. But John, something you said

1510
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 1: the other day jumped out at me about Josh Allen.

1511
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody give it up in this guy.

1512
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: This guy has the right stuff. He wasn't drafted number

1513
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: seven for the fun of it. This guy has the

1514
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 1: right stuff as far as you know what. Also, what

1515
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: Steve said the other day about Anderson, he did he

1516
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 1: did not do that bad considering the position he was

1517
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 1: put in, and twenty of thirty one is pretty good,

1518
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 1: and I think he did okay. And I just kind

1519
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: of say this here. I know there's not a defensive

1520
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: player on the Bills that will say that their spirits

1521
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: are broken because we are not scoring enough points. But

1522
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: from a fan's perspective, I can see it that if

1523
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: the offense isn't give you any help, it's kind of

1524
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: affect your spirit a little bit. And I'm an internal optimist.

1525
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: I think that we can do really good the rest

1526
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: of the season. The game coming up Monday, New England Patriots,

1527
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 1: I would love to see a victory there. And irrespective

1528
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: of where we are at halfway halfway through the season,

1529
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,719
Speaker 1: I'm a Buffalo Bills fan. I'm in for a penny,

1530
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: I'm in for a pound, and if we don't come

1531
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: up nine and seven or ten and six, that I'm

1532
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: always thinking, wait the next year. All right, thanks, Don,

1533
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: Let's take you call from John and Freedonia. Hello John,

1534
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: John in Freedonia. Not there, Let's go to Mike in

1535
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Easter Roa. Hello, Mike, Hey, how you guys doing good? Good?

1536
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. I have a question, one

1537
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: question and hypothetical for you. What do you guys think

1538
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 1: of Derek Kerr? I like him. I think he's very

1539
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: very talented. Um, I'm not sure what the future holds

1540
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 1: for him in Oakland. I don't know what's going on

1541
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: in Oakland. It appears that Gruden is sort of, you know,

1542
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: tearing down the whole thing to build it up, and

1543
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: it is for the early stages of his ten year

1544
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: tenure there. Um. I like him for the Buffalo Bills.

1545
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. What do you think, Well,

1546
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 1: I John Gruden's considered some type of quarterback Google correct.

1547
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's kind of how he's viewed by everybody. Well,

1548
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: he considers himself one I does. Yeah. Well, hypothetical trade

1549
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: all right, this year's first round pick and Josh Allen

1550
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 1: for Derek Kerr. No, it automatically makes the Bills a

1551
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 1: viable NFL offense, I believe, which is something we I

1552
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 1: haven't seen in twenty five years. Well, I don't know

1553
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: if that's true. I'd rather see the Bills grow and

1554
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 1: develop Josh Allen into a heart of hearts? Does he

1555
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: pass the eyeball test for you? Yes, Josh does it.

1556
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Probably does that better than anything. Pats the eyeball death.

1557
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely No, I'm not just talking about physical stature or

1558
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: talking about the way the ball comes out of his hands.

1559
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: The strong arm, Yeah, he has that, no question. But

1560
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: does he does he and he commands the offense, fine,

1561
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 1: But does he pass the eyeball test as an NFL quarterback?

1562
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 1: Like because some of the throws the anticipation I don't see.

1563
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: I don't see I don't see the and and it

1564
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: might possibly be h result of the play calling and

1565
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: play designs, but I just don't see him making the

1566
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: throws that I see other other quarterbacks make, you know,

1567
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: hitting a receiver on the run, anticipating tight windows. He's

1568
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: got a long way to go, There's no question about that.

1569
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: What do you think, Steve, It's an interesting thought, Mike.

1570
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would do it. I don't

1571
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: think I would. Uh, yeah, he does actually and I

1572
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: and there's no question that all the problems that come

1573
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 1: with a rookie quarterback Josh Allen brings with him. Absolutely,

1574
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: But the simple fact of the matter is Derek Carr

1575
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: was that guy as well. I mean he had issues

1576
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,560
Speaker 1: when he was a young player as well, where the

1577
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: game happens too fast and he struggles to find his guys,

1578
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't anticipate guys being open. Those are rookie quarterback problems.

1579
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: And I'd hate to kick a guy like Josh Allen

1580
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 1: to the curb. Uh yeah, even I mean he's the

1581
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: guy started like three or four games. They have significant

1582
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: assets invested in Josh Allen. You don't give him four

1583
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: games and watching me get hurt and then say, Okay,

1584
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: let's move to the next guy. Yeah, I think you

1585
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 1: got to give him a long, a much longer time

1586
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: to find out about Josh Allen than he's had than

1587
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: he's had here in Buffalo. All Right, we're gonna break,

1588
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: We're coming back Thurman. Thoma's gonna join us in a moment.

1589
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: It is Thurman Week. Did you say? Thurman Month? Really is?

1590
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,839
Speaker 1: Its festivals Thurman Month. Derman will be here to celebrate

1591
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: when we come back here in a couple of minutes. Anyway,

1596
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: days away. Comment here from Harvey in California. Hello Harvey,

1597
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hi John, Hi Steve. Nice to

1598
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: talk to you, guys. I feel very honored. Well, thanks Harry,

1599
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Well listen, guys, I hope you'll be

1600
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,840
Speaker 1: a little patient with me. I'm Adi eight years old.

1601
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 1: Oh wow, we're in California, Harvey. I'm just outside Los

1602
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: Angeles in a town called Pomona. Pomona, Okay, it's not

1603
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 1: the way to Palm Springs. Um. What I what I've

1604
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 1: developed over the years is I've been a Bills fan

1605
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: since nineteen forty six, maybe earlier, I don't know. And

1606
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: I think Bills fans fortunately not all of them, but

1607
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:19,600
Speaker 1: we got too many impatient ones. You know. You got

1608
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: to remember also, is not exactly a ten year coach.

1609
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: He's learning as he goes too. And so it's been

1610
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: my experience over the years. Stick with a guy. Stop

1611
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: doing this up and down stuff where a guy has

1612
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: a couple of bad calls and all of a sudden

1613
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: you want to get rid of them. You know, I

1614
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: think we gotta be patient. We got to sit in there.

1615
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: And I think Josh Allen's a good choice. I think

1616
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 1: what they're doing is right, but they're learning as they go,

1617
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, they can't be right every every time they

1618
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: do something. You're right, are I think you make a

1619
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: good point. And yeah, I'm in favor of patients as well.

1620
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 1: You don't want to be, you know, too patient, But

1621
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,560
Speaker 1: certainly I still look at the McDermott and being for

1622
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: that matter, is just getting started here, right, just laying

1623
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:11,600
Speaker 1: the foundation. The biggest problem for the Buffalo Bills and

1624
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 1: this uh seventeen years streak of one playoff appearance, has

1625
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: been replacing coaches too much, you know, just kind of

1626
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 1: cycling coaches through here, getting impatient. Why do you do that?

1627
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:23,639
Speaker 1: Let's let's can them, Let's move with someone else. Take

1628
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: a call on this from Justin and Orchard Park. Justin,

1629
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Do you feel differently? I think, oh, yeah,

1630
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean pretty much I was. I would say that,

1631
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, you want to look at all the quarterbacks

1632
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 1: in their future and I can't remember the last time

1633
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: one of the Buffalo Bills quarterbacks had a three hundred

1634
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: yard game. You know you love Tyrod had one? Yes,

1635
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 1: well ty rod Man sixteen under Leslie Frasier's uh, you know,

1636
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: as schemes and everything were on pace to be the

1637
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: worst offense in the NFL. Yeah, coach Frasier coaches defense.

1638
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not less Fraser, but I'm just saying that,

1639
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, is our offensive coordinator now? He is the

1640
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,759
Speaker 1: future of Alan, you know, as far as his development

1641
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: and how he gets them going, and also with Peterman,

1642
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, is he calling the right plays in order

1643
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 1: for to put them in the best position and for

1644
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,600
Speaker 1: their future of successes. Yeah, we're getting answers to that,

1645
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: I believe, and we'll find out. There's a season not

1646
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: even even the season is not half over yet. I'm

1647
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: not gonna make any conclusions based on the first seven games.

1648
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 1: Getting answers on that, And we also have to look

1649
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: at what they have to work with Steve person outwise,

1650
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 1: that's important. Yeah, their whole rosters in play, no question

1651
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: about it. I mean you've got to You've got to

1652
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: take everything into account. Sean mcdermot's second year head coach,

1653
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean's second year GM. You've got a rookie quarterback

1654
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: you've got an inexperienced quarterback at number three. You brought

1655
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: in a quarterback Derek Anderson two weeks ago. You've got

1656
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,640
Speaker 1: a defense that was playing extremely well up until this

1657
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: past week. And you've got a team coming in who's

1658
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:55,719
Speaker 1: a perennial playoff powerhouse on Monday Night football. It's there's

1659

1660
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:02,160

1661
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 1: question this is a team that while they made the

1662
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 1: playoffs last year, you know, I don't know that the

1663
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: expectation were there that they were definitely going back to

1664
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year. No, but I did think. I

1665
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 1: did think they're gonna have a good, solid defense. I

1666
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna have to win by running the

1667
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: football and just staying on the field offensively. Let's struggle

01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 1: game plan was because they changed their game plan seemingly

1803
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: literally every series. Of course, they had six or seven

1804
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 1: plays every series that they could get it, you know,

1805
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: and then come off, and they could. It wasn't I

1806
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: mean a lot of the game game, man, was that

1807
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: they random ball going in the game. Going into that game,

1808
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: they could run a thirty percent of their snaps. That

1809
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 1: game they ran sixty sixty percent of the snaps. I mean,

1810
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: but you gotta be ready for that. You gotta be

1811
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 1: ready for that. I mean that I think is a

1812
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 1: really disconcerting, much more so for me and I go

1813
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: round around with murph about how losses are different. The

1814
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: Houston loss to me was an encouraging loss because that

1815
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: was a they should have won. It should have won that,

1816
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: you know. But and for me that was disappointing because

1817
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 1: that's you never get that game back. This one in Indianapolis,

1818
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 1: this one was wo that was a Yeah, it was

1819
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: just not for me as a fan now looking it

1820
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: was just not good from starting to fit because they

1821
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,719
Speaker 1: hit you where your strongest in your defense, in our defense,

1822
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: and you figuring, well, we want to scoring ten points

1823
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 1: a game. There's no way they won the turnover battle.

1824
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, everything went wrong. Everything went wrong. Yeah, So

1825
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was just not a good game,

1826
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:43,720
Speaker 1: not a good game. Hopefully they'll bounce back Monday night.

1827
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 1: That's all you that's all you can winch for. Yeah,

1828
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: you can win for it. Yeah, I mean obviously, you know,

1829
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 1: being at home, um and playing the Patriots, you know

1830
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 1: who we haven't done well against well since Tom Brady

1831
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: has been there, Belichick. But you know, anything can happen

1832
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Yep, anything can happen. They used to say,

1833
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 1: never bet against a home underdog on Monday night football.

1834
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:08,720
Speaker 1: But and the Bills are an enormous under but they're

1835
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 1: no more than thirteen, yeah, sixteen? Why is it lower now?

1836
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 1: When actually when you look at the Patriot's office, they're

1837
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 1: really clicking right now with Josh Gordon, click really click.

1838
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 1: I saw him. I saw him lump up the Dolphins

1839
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 1: through two and a half two weeks ago, they were clicking.

1840
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 1: They were clicking. Yeah, anything they have a Grenkowsky. And

1841
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too, and I've seen this. Tom

1842
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:34,439
Speaker 1: Brady is not the same guy as he was, and

1843
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 1: he still makes all the right decisions, but he can't

1844
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't throw it as accurately and with a strong

1845
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,920
Speaker 1: and art you can, I can I see a difference

1846
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: in his play. He's still he's still you know, the goat,

1847
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,599
Speaker 1: but um, he's not. Yeah, you can see he's forty

1848
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: one right, you can see it in there. Although he

1849
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 1: still hang three thirty two points on. Everybody walks through

1850
01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:00,680
Speaker 1: the door. R But Josh Gordon helps him. Bronk is

1851
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 1: still there. And whoever Edelman got, they got Elman back.

1852
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 1: You don't even hear anything about Chris Hogan anymore. He's

1853
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,479
Speaker 1: making place a couple Hey, Thurm, let me get you involved.

1854
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 1: We got the game Monday Tuesday is the NFL trade

1855
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 1: deadline next Tuesday, six days away, four pm. Let me

1856
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: show you our Twitter pole. People are responding to this.

1857
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 1: We want to know if people think the Buffalo Bills

1858
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 1: should get involved in the trade. What are the Bills

1859
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 1: need in the trade? Fifty two percent say wide receiver,

1860
01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 1: twenty five percent say offensive line, thirteen percent say quarterback,

1861
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 1: ten percent say something else. Do you think the Bills

1862
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 1: need to make a trade, and if so, what position

1863
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 1: would you go for? Who would you maybe deal away?

1864
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 1: What do you think? And it's hard to say right now?

1865
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Mur A lot of people on Twitter poll the ten

1866
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 1: percent there say draft picks, get some, get some more

1867
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,120
Speaker 1: draft picks? But how many do they have already? Ten? Ten?

1868
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:49,559
Speaker 1: How many are gonna pa? How many are gonna really

1869
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 1: help the team next year? Five? Three or four? Can

1870
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 1: count on three, right, So I don't know. Like this year,

1871
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 1: they've got they've got Tremaine Edmonds, they've got Josh Allen.

1872
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 1: Of course, they've got Harrison Phillips. Wyatt Teller has yet

1873
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 1: to be active for a game, but he's on the

1874
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:11,720
Speaker 1: fifty three. Ray Ray McLeod is kind of hanging in

1875
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: there to it trying to you know, they're trying to

1876
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 1: sprinkle him in a little bit. You know. I mean

1877
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:18,720
Speaker 1: if you if you look at I mean, you would

1878
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: probably say wide receiver. That's what I would say. I mean,

1879
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 1: you would probably say wide receiver. I think at this point,

1880
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 1: I mean, say Jones has what fifteen catches? Sixteen catches.

1881
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 1: I think Zay is actually playing a little bit. He

1882
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:33,559
Speaker 1: is playing a little bit better. I just don't think

1883
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 1: that he's getting the ball well. Yeah, I mean see

1884
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 1: for me and you you, I'm gonna hear you talking

1885
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 1: about this. I tell Murph this all the time. I

1886
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,720
Speaker 1: tell the listeners all the time. Everybody always says, we

1887
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:45,840
Speaker 1: need better wide receivers here, we need better riders. If

1888
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,439
Speaker 1: he's there, look who he's throwing the football to. They

1889
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 1: said it with Tyrod too, And I said, it's myways,

1890
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:53,599
Speaker 1: my contention, the quarterback. It's the quarterback kind of makes

1891
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:55,560
Speaker 1: the receivers. It's not the other way around to me,

1892
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,639
Speaker 1: because listen, when I was out there playing, Jim made

1893
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 1: me look good and that took that took a strong

1894
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 1: armacuate quarterback and do that right, right when you've got

1895
01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:10,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can thread it on time with velocity

1896
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 1: to the right guy, everybody gets better. So I'm and

1897
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 1: while I get it, you know you'd like to see

1898
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: it Julio Jones and AJ Green on the same team

1899
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: and all that, but it's not happening. I think it

1900
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:25,720
Speaker 1: has more to do the offensive passing game, and the

1901
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:27,560
Speaker 1: struggles have more to do with the quarterback. They do

1902
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:33,479
Speaker 1: the wider thinne you can make a quick case for still,

1903
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:35,800
Speaker 1: I think if you have that quarterback that can throw

1904
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 1: the ball where it needs to be put and so

1905
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean I I see it all the time. I

1906
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:44,479
Speaker 1: see it now, even with Baker Bayfield and he's a rookie, yeah,

1907
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:46,960
Speaker 1: and he's throwing it where guys can catch him hiding there.

1908
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:50,040
Speaker 1: Now he's throwing some interceptions and had some fumbels or whatever,

1909
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 1: but he's given those guys an opportunity. Whether you're covered

1910
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 1: or not, whether you're covered or not, give you a chance,

1911
01:32:56,400 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 1: give you give your guy a chance to catch a football,

1912
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 1: make a play. And so all these guys I don't

1913
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,719
Speaker 1: even see. I see it with Baker Mayfield and Darnald

1914
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:06,559
Speaker 1: and and all these guys, and it comes Rosen's out

1915
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 1: there struggling in Arizona. Um. They all they all try

1916
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:13,720
Speaker 1: and throw at some places, they're all a little bit late.

1917
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,560
Speaker 1: They're all they're missing other guys that are standing in

1918
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 1: the middle of an open field by themselves. They can't

1919
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 1: they don't see them. There's all that stuff going on

1920
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 1: with all these guys, and I think it comes down

1921
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 1: to a lot of it, and it's a little bit

1922
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: chicken in the egg now that you talk about it,

1923
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: but it's a little bit of like what's around them,

1924
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 1: how's everybody else playing? The Bills have had a pretty

1925
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 1: good defense that's going on, and give them a chance

1926
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 1: in games, give them some extra possessions with the win,

1927
01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: win the turnover battle. But it's hard to evaluate even

1928
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:45,799
Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, uh Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen.

1929
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 1: It's because they're all on different teams, playing against different opponents,

1930
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 1: and there's so many mom different offenses, different good players

1931
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 1: around them, different types of players around them. But they're

1932
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:57,080
Speaker 1: all young, and they all have they all struggling young.

1933
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 1: You I mean, name a quarterback that came into the league,

1934
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:03,640
Speaker 1: even when Kelly, Even when Kelly came in, he was

1935
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 1: a three year vet. You know, he'd been in He

1936
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 1: came in at eighty six and he'd been playing since

1937
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: eighty three in the USFL. But you know, been playing right,

1938
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 1: so a lot, He's right a lot, right, and it

1939
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 1: happens rarely. Marino was pretty good right off the bat.

1940
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:20,320
Speaker 1: Ben got thrown in, but he was only thrown at

1941
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:23,240
Speaker 1: fourteen seventeen times a game. And they had that Drone

1942
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 1: Betis and they had that defense. So it's all different,

1943
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 1: all different different. How do you in your mind, how

1944
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 1: do you evaluate these young quarterbacks? Then when they're all different,

1945
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 1: you kind of have to what do you do? It's

1946
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of hard to It's impossible for fans to do

1947
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: it right. It's hard enough for coaches who see him

1948
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:44,439
Speaker 1: every day. Right, Yeah, you know what I think, Steve, Steve,

1949
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 1: when you bring in those type of guys like Baker Mayfield,

1950
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 1: I think you almost have to have the same kind

1951
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:55,640
Speaker 1: of offense that he ran in college. I think that's what.

1952
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 1: Don't ask him do something they weren't successful in there.

1953
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 1: You go there, you and you've seen I mean who

1954

Speaker 1: they thought Jeff Jared Goff is gonna be a bus

1955
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:09,640

1958
01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 1: to the K gun that I'm seeing in there. They

1959
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:19,400

2098
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 1: the last twenty years Patriots, the mania has grown exponentially

2099
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of people who just started paying attention

2100
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 1: twenty years ago would say that this is, believe it

2101
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 1: or not, a football first town. But the Red Sox

2102
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:54,040
Speaker 1: are a hundred year plus story. Obviously, they had great

2103
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:58,360
Speaker 1: success early in the nineteenth or the other nineteen hundreds,

2104
01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:01,400
Speaker 1: so you know, the saga is kind of wrapped up

2105
01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 1: in the city and for a long time they reflected

2106
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:07,760
Speaker 1: that close but no cigar mentality that the Red Sox

2107
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:11,160
Speaker 1: were known for. Um, I think it's it's it's a

2108
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 1: baseball town first and foremost, and we'll see if it's

2109
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 1: a football town once the Brady Belichick era passes into history,

2110
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:22,560
Speaker 1: which from speaking to you earlier this week for a

2111
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 1: piece I did for the Athletic looking at the Bills

2112
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,280
Speaker 1: this week, I know can't come soon enough for Bill fans.

2113
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. What did give us a little

2114
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 1: insight as to what the fan base thinks about Brady

2115
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:38,760
Speaker 1: and Belichick and there their longevity, There are they tied

2116
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:41,840
Speaker 1: together the hip? When is there any sense that don't

2117
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: leave together? Or I kind of have a hard time

2118
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,679
Speaker 1: seeing that. It's a it's a huge guessing game, Steven

2119
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:51,360
Speaker 1: and Frankly, it's it's gotten to the point now it's

2120
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 1: like kids in the backseat on vacation. Are we there yet?

2121
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,559
Speaker 1: Are we there yet? Are we there yet? It's it's

2122
01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 1: everybody has been trying to read tea leaves really for

2123
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 1: the last two years. You know, Brady throws a lot

2124
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: of head fakes. He talks about playing to mid forties,

2125
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 1: but then there's all this Tom versus time fodder where

2126
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:12,599
Speaker 1: he muses about ending his career earlier than that doesn't

2127
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 1: seem to be feeling appreciated at this particular moment. People speculate,

2128
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, is Belichick gonna stay a couple of years

2129
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 1: after Brady just approved that it wasn't all number twelve

2130
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 1: and that he can win with someone else at quarterback.

2131
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:30,439
Speaker 1: There's an awful lot of guessing games. But nobody knows

2132
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:34,679
Speaker 1: Belichick is sixty six years old. He once said, quite

2133
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:37,559
Speaker 1: famously that you never catch him coaching into his seventies

2134
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: like Marv Leasy, and he's only four years from that.

2135
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:44,400
Speaker 1: And if Brady sticks around until forty five, as he's

2136
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:48,720
Speaker 1: so often proclaimed, he wants to, Belichick's right at the

2137
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:52,679
Speaker 1: almost right at the seventy year old birthday. So it's interesting.

2138
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 1: But I think we're at the We all know it's

2139
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 1: the latter stages. We just don't know how far down

2140
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 1: that particular scale we are. We're with the town Banks,

2141
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:03,840
Speaker 1: who covers the Patriots for the Athletic dot com and

2142
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:06,720
Speaker 1: Patriots dot com. Hey down. I put a theory before

2143
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:09,479
Speaker 1: Steve earlier today, and it's part of my routine. I mean,

2144
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:11,879
Speaker 1: I just started on Tuesdays diving into the Bill's opponents

2145
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:15,080
Speaker 1: and looked at video yesterday and read up about the Patriots,

2146
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:17,639
Speaker 1: mostly thought about him. I would say, look, I believe

2147
01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:20,400
Speaker 1: that Brady is the key man there, Belichick a close second.

2148
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:23,519
Speaker 1: But I wonder if sometimes what gets overlooked is how

2149
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:27,719
Speaker 1: Belichick has adapted the Patriots to different, you know, skill

2150
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:29,640
Speaker 1: sets on his roster. I was telling them, Steve, how

2151
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 1: they change. They're not the same, they don't play the

2152
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:34,479
Speaker 1: same way now they played even three or five years ago.

2153
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 1: They change almost on an annual basis. Some might even

2154
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:39,559
Speaker 1: say on a week to week basis. And Steve played,

2155
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:41,160
Speaker 1: I thought Steve made a really good point earlier. You

2156
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:43,360
Speaker 1: weren't here, Don. Steve said, you know, they have a

2157
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:45,559
Speaker 1: better sense of their own team and their own team's

2158
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses than anybody else does. And I think

2159
01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of important. I think it's very true, Murph.

2160
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:55,080
Speaker 1: And I think you know Belichick has said quite often

2161
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: of late that he kind of uses September to self

2162
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: scout and figure out, almost like an extended training camp. Um.

2163
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 1: It's why I think the Patriots so many Septembers seemed

2164
01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:08,479
Speaker 1: to be written off by people if they lose a

2165
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 1: game or two, including this year when they sat one

2166
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:13,360
Speaker 1: and two coming out of Week three in that debacle

2167
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:16,600
Speaker 1: against the Lions in Detroit. What he does is, and

2168
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:19,400
Speaker 1: I hate to say this, but the AFC, you know,

2169
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:25,880
Speaker 1: the complete rain, allows him the luxury of using September

2170
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:28,960
Speaker 1: to self scout, figure out his team's own weakness as

2171
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 1: his own strengths. What's missing, what's what do we need

2172
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:35,600
Speaker 1: more of? And I think it's why October, November, and

2173
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 1: December don't usually look like September in Patriots world. Your

2174
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:43,200
Speaker 1: point is great because think about think about when this

2175
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 1: dynasty first started. I mean, this was a defensive led team.

2176
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 1: This was Antoine Smith running the ball, then Corey Dillon.

2177
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:55,200
Speaker 1: They were putting trophies on the on the shelf, totally

2178
01:46:55,320 --> 01:46:58,679
Speaker 1: differently than they did in the second half of this dynasty.

2179
01:46:59,200 --> 01:47:01,720
Speaker 1: Now we're sitting at you say, September was used as

2180
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:04,680
Speaker 1: a self scout for Belichick. Now you're in late October.

2181
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 1: Where are they now? I mean, they're obviously back on track.

2182
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 1: The one and two starts a distant memory. They're hanging

2183
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:15,280
Speaker 1: thirty points plus on everybody. Well, here's the stat for you,

2184
01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:17,439
Speaker 1: and it's kind of remarkable. But if they can score

2185
01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:21,160
Speaker 1: thirty eight or more Monday Night in a new era

2186
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 1: of field, not a ridiculous supposition, it will mark the

2187
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 1: fifth consecutive week of at least thirty eight points and

2188
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:31,600
Speaker 1: that will be an NFL record for any team. So

2189
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:36,280
Speaker 1: they've obviously got a lot figured out offensively. Now, the

2190
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle knee injury, which could have been much worse,

2191
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 1: is going to cost him at least a week or two,

2192
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 1: maybe longer. That's going to be a bit of a

2193
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:46,599
Speaker 1: setback because their running back position now is a little thin.

2194
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:50,639
Speaker 1: But I think even more importantly, they're starting to figure

2195
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:54,400
Speaker 1: out you know, Danta high Tower looks like he's got

2196
01:47:54,439 --> 01:47:56,439
Speaker 1: his legs back. He looks slow early in the season.

2197
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 1: He's starting to close ground again. I think their secondary

2198
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 1: is still uneven, but they're figuring out what they have.

2199
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:06,800
Speaker 1: They're getting some pass rush. I feel like this is

2200
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:08,880
Speaker 1: a Patriots team that has a lot of meat left

2201
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:13,040
Speaker 1: on the bone. But where they win is that passing

2202
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 1: game first, and that's coming together and producing points. Now

2203
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 1: for four consecutive weeks. Hey Don, what role has Josh

2204
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:22,840
Speaker 1: Gordon played so far and what might his role become

2205
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 1: for them this year? Well, I think it's going to

2206
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 1: continue to grow. I mean, the biggest thing about a receiver,

2207
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:30,639
Speaker 1: veteran receiver coming in here, he's got to earn number

2208
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:33,240
Speaker 1: twelve trust. And there's been a lot of guys come

2209
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:35,599
Speaker 1: in that didn't do it. And you know, Ocho Senko

2210
01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 1: and Tory Holt and all those guys that kind of

2211
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,120
Speaker 1: went through here, they couldn't pick up the system. Brady

2212
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:44,280
Speaker 1: didn't ever trust him. I think he really trust Gordon

2213
01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 1: already and look, it's early. This guy's track record screams

2214
01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:50,920
Speaker 1: he's going to screw up at some point and hurt

2215
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:54,160
Speaker 1: his own chances that hurt the team's chances. But he

2216
01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 1: hasn't yet. They said nothing but a model teammate committed

2217
01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 1: in every way. So we have not seen the Josh

2218
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:05,360
Speaker 1: Gordon of Cleveland in New England. And he's starting to

2219
01:49:05,479 --> 01:49:08,719
Speaker 1: make big plays a hunter yard game, and and Brady's

2220
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,639
Speaker 1: looking for him in key situations. He's been very tough. Well,

2221
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:14,920
Speaker 1: what about the guys that we're also familiar with, Edelman, Gronkowski?

2222
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 1: Edelman back in the full after being suspended. They hung

2223
01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: thirty plus points on the Dolphins without Edelman just before

2224
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:24,920
Speaker 1: he showed up, and they don't seem to have missed

2225
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:27,880
Speaker 1: a beat. That's the thing. I mean, you know, Gronk

2226
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:30,879
Speaker 1: misses the Chicago game. It seems like they can always

2227
01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 1: navigate around, you know, a suspension if need be, and

2228
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:39,320
Speaker 1: absence because of injury, whatever is going on, they figure

2229
01:49:39,360 --> 01:49:43,280
Speaker 1: out a way to get by and use. You know,

2230
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:45,439
Speaker 1: some weeks they just throw to their running backs. That's

2231
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 1: all they do. They don't even try to throw the

2232
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:49,920
Speaker 1: three receivers. Maybe they look for Gronk and key situations.

2233
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 1: But it's James White and it's you know, it's last

2234
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 1: week Ken John Barner bailed him out at running backs.

2235
01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:01,799
Speaker 1: So nobody adapts better from week to week, and nobody

2236
01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 1: game plans, I believe better to exploit that opponent's particular

2237
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: weakness with what they have on hand. We're with Down

2238
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:12,719
Speaker 1: Banks from the Athletic and Patriots dot Com talking about

2239
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 1: New England. I wonder what the perception is there down

2240
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna move along here in a second, or I

2241
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:18,879
Speaker 1: don't want to keep it too long, but the perception

2242
01:50:18,920 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 1: of Brian Dable. The Bills have an awful line invested

2243
01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: in their local guy, the new offensive coordinator here. What

2244
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:26,679
Speaker 1: did folks in Boston think of him when he spent

2245
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:28,560
Speaker 1: eleven of his seventeen years in the NFL. We're with

2246
01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:31,479
Speaker 1: New England. Yeah, he I mean, he was kind of

2247
01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 1: a trusted member of the Belichick assistant coaching fraternity, and

2248
01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:39,719
Speaker 1: they thought a guy that had maybe a long future

2249
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:45,120
Speaker 1: with Belichick. Obviously didn't exactly pan out that way, but

2250
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:47,759
Speaker 1: I think he's He's a guy that Bill still trust

2251
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:51,600
Speaker 1: and believes has a pretty good sound grip on what

2252
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:54,360
Speaker 1: he wants to do. It just seems to me that

2253
01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to judge his work in Buffalo, given breaking

2254
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:01,720
Speaker 1: in a rookie quarterback, starting three different quarterbacks, the injuries,

2255
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,719
Speaker 1: the new offensive line. It's it's a work in progress,

2256
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:09,040
Speaker 1: and I would imagine Bills fans are gonna give him

2257
01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 1: the year and they look back at his work. But

2258
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:13,760
Speaker 1: I actually ask you the other day, Murpher, kind of

2259
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 1: a temperature reading on just that topic. And to be

2260
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:21,320
Speaker 1: I think to be continued or to be determined is

2261
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 1: more likely the designation right now. Last thing I have

2262
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:26,680
Speaker 1: for you down and it does go to our conversation

2263
01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 1: the other day. You'd call me, I know, you did

2264
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:31,840
Speaker 1: a couple of interviews about, you know, the perception of

2265
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 1: Bills fans and maybe the Patriots. The Bills take on

2266
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:37,920
Speaker 1: the rivalry, if you can call it that with New England.

2267
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 1: What's the other side of that? What do New England fans?

2268
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 1: What are the Patriots in general think about this dominance

2269
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:45,600
Speaker 1: they have over this division rival They have, you know,

2270
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:47,680
Speaker 1: good records against the Jets and the Dolphins too, but

2271
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,320
Speaker 1: this is the most pronounced edge. They haven't any of

2272
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:55,400
Speaker 1: the rivals they played. I think they believe rightly or wrongly,

2273
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 1: that the Bills have the Patriots in their heads and

2274
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 1: that they can they if they hang close, that they're

2275
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: going to find a way to beat a Bill's team. Um,

2276
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 1: you know that that Leotis McKelvin fumble on the kickoff.

2277
01:52:09,479 --> 01:52:11,559
Speaker 1: I want to say that was in the opener of OH. Nine.

2278
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: It was the first game back for Brady after the

2279
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 1: knee surgery. To me, that personifies what Pats fans, right

2280
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:20,479
Speaker 1: or wrong, think about the Bills, that they're going to

2281
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:23,680
Speaker 1: if you hang close, they'll find a way. With very

2282
01:52:23,760 --> 01:52:27,200
Speaker 1: few exceptions. They seem to always consider the Dolphins and

2283
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 1: even the Jets at times to be the tougher foe,

2284
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:32,479
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins have given them all kinds of trouble,

2285
01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 1: especially in Miami, where I think it's like eight and

2286
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots or eight and nine in the Belichick era.

2287
01:52:38,240 --> 01:52:42,560
Speaker 1: So it's, um, it feels like they, you know, the

2288
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:45,280
Speaker 1: old who's your daddy? That's what I think Patriots fans

2289
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 1: believe the Bills. Now you've gone too Now you've gone

2290
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 1: too far down. Thanks for this, You're great. Talking to

2291
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:54,120
Speaker 1: a couple times this week. Well are you coming to

2292
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:56,120
Speaker 1: the game? You be here Monday, I am not No,

2293
01:52:56,240 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: I will not be there, but see you soon somewhere, Murphy,

2294
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:02,799
Speaker 1: Thank you. Thanks. Don Don Banks writes about the Patriots

2295
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 1: for the Athletic dot Com and for Patriots dot Com.

2296
01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 1: Longtime NFL reporter worked covering the NFL for sixteen years

2297
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 1: for Sports Illustrated. He joined us on the Subway Fresh

2298
01:53:11,880 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 1: State Hotline, presented by Subway Restaurants. Probably be locally owned

2299
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:17,640
Speaker 1: and operated. Is he right? Are the Patriots in the

2300
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: players heads? I know they're in the fans heads. I

2301
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:22,519
Speaker 1: know the fans believe they are. Yeah, I think so.

2302
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that that. You know,

2303
01:53:25,320 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 1: there are certain teams where you think your team just

2304
01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:29,720
Speaker 1: gonna beat them over every time. And I think the

2305
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:32,000
Speaker 1: Patriots fans have been there for a long time. In Buffalo.

2306
01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:34,600
Speaker 1: I think it's been hurt. I mean, you look at it.

2307
01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:40,280
Speaker 1: Brady's record is what against the Bills. The fact that

2308
01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 1: I even know that that most Bills fans probably know

2309
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:47,040
Speaker 1: that is painful. That's crazy. That's crazy. And you can

2310
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:49,559
Speaker 1: think back too. There have been some games, like there's

2311
01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:51,320
Speaker 1: been a couple of games here in Buffalo that got

2312
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 1: out of hand for them, And I remember one of

2313
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:57,720
Speaker 1: Brady through like four interceptions, three of which were off

2314
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,280
Speaker 1: the head of his receiver, bounced up into the air

2315
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:04,680
Speaker 1: and returned. Um. You know, crazy stuff like that has

2316
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 1: happened in the thirty one to nothing game and the

2317
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:11,479
Speaker 1: opening game of two thousand and three or whatever that was, which,

2318
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:13,840
Speaker 1: by the way, the sixteenth game of the year that

2319
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:18,880
Speaker 1: year was also thirty one to ziph So yeah, I

2320
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:21,960
Speaker 1: mean you gotta know that's what Patriot fans. The players

2321
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:23,760
Speaker 1: don't go into the game thinking, oh, these guys got

2322
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: our number. No, no, no, no. They you believe that

2323
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:28,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna win. You got a good game plan you

2324
01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:29,760
Speaker 1: got to execute, and then you go out and you

2325
01:54:29,880 --> 01:54:31,680
Speaker 1: try and get it done. You don't there's none of

2326
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:35,680
Speaker 1: this historic kind of baggage that you carry into these

2327
01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:37,320
Speaker 1: things with you because this team is different than the

2328
01:54:37,360 --> 01:54:39,880
Speaker 1: one last year and the one before that. So it's

2329
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: a brand new, fresh set of eyes, fresh fresh outlook,

2330
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:47,160
Speaker 1: different players. Um so yeah, no, the players don't get

2331
01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:48,800
Speaker 1: caught up in that at all. It's the you know,

2332
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:52,040
Speaker 1: most you know fans kind of they've been with it

2333
01:54:52,160 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 1: for decades. Players just you know, like Harrison Fellows, he's

2334
01:54:55,200 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 1: been here for six months he didn't know who's your

2335
01:54:57,920 --> 01:55:01,520
Speaker 1: daddy Banks? Really? I think he did. We're taking a break.

2336
01:55:01,560 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 1: When we come back coffee with the coach Chris Brown

2337

01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:10,880

Speaker 1: We've had an interesting show. There's a lot of good

2350
01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:52,800
Speaker 1: ideas floating around here to study a lot of ideas

2351
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:55,000
Speaker 1: on the trade. Should the Bills make a trade? And

2352
01:55:55,080 --> 01:55:57,440
Speaker 1: if so, what should they get? That's been our Twitter poll.

2353
01:55:57,520 --> 01:55:59,080
Speaker 1: That's what we've taken a lot of phone calls on

2354
01:55:59,200 --> 01:56:01,320
Speaker 1: today and as we look at the Twitter pole. We

2355
01:56:01,360 --> 01:56:04,320
Speaker 1: see that most folks so far responding to our Twitter

2356
01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:07,440
Speaker 1: poll think that the Bills should get help at receiving.

2357
01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 1: What are the Bills needing to trade? The deadline six

2358
01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:13,480
Speaker 1: days away and fifty two percent of responded and say

2359
01:56:13,520 --> 01:56:16,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver, twenty five percent say offensive line, thirteen percent

2360
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: say they need a quarterback, other ten percent. We'll talk

2361
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:21,280
Speaker 1: about that in the next couple of minutes. Here we're

2362
01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:22,880
Speaker 1: down to like the final half hour of the show.

2363
01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:24,720
Speaker 1: Let's take a phone call though. We'll go to Pete

2364
01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:28,919
Speaker 1: in Rochester. Hello, Pete, Welcome to the show. Hi ours,

2365
01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:32,680
Speaker 1: first time call. You know, I really like your show.

2366
01:56:32,760 --> 01:56:37,120
Speaker 1: I love Steve Tasker. I mean, surety eight. I'm retired military.

2367
01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 1: I used to watch him and he just clutched. But

2368
01:56:40,040 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 1: he just blew me away. When he was talking about

2369
01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 1: baseball and he made up. He made some good points

2370
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 1: about how the game, you know, it's decided with the umpires,

2371
01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:54,680
Speaker 1: and you know, if he gets man in a player.

2372
01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:57,520
Speaker 1: I know he was exaggerating, but to me, I just

2373
01:56:57,640 --> 01:57:02,920
Speaker 1: want to understand. I love is analyzing. You know how

2374
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:07,720
Speaker 1: he analyzes you know anything in a game, uh, you know,

2375
01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:10,840
Speaker 1: a play or whatever. But I just wanted to kind

2376
01:57:10,880 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 1: of rep my head around. Does is a game just

2377
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 1: too slow for you? Is that how you feel like?

2378
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 1: Too complex? Site is two weeks difficult? It moves too slow.

2379
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:26,120
Speaker 1: There is absolutely no action in a baseball game. There's

2380
01:57:26,360 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 1: there's like no As a professional athlete, though, don't you

2381
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:37,880
Speaker 1: appreciate the execution in any sport? Hitting the baseball it's

2382
01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 1: pretty darn hard Jesus when you see, like, all right,

2383
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 1: a hitter where he's counted on like you you were

2384
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 1: counted on, you know, Jim Kelly, all the all the

2385
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:52,440
Speaker 1: great players, you can count on them making a play.

2386
01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:55,920
Speaker 1: And in baseball you have the same talent. You know,

2387
01:57:56,120 --> 01:57:59,120
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts gets up the bat, he's got two guys

2388
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 1: on base. You know, oh, you're you're anticipating the hit,

2389
01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:04,680
Speaker 1: the crowd and you know, I know it takes a

2390
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:07,720
Speaker 1: while to get there. But it just really blew me

2391
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:12,320
Speaker 1: away that you're like, you're just like not interested in baseball. Dismissive,

2392
01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:15,040
Speaker 1: I think is the word you're looking for. He dismisses.

2393
01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:16,440
Speaker 1: I got to tell you that that's been throwing one

2394
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:19,520
Speaker 1: hundred mile an hour past guys and they hit it.

2395
01:58:19,960 --> 01:58:25,800
Speaker 1: Sport that there is and and for someone that is skilled,

2396
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:30,400
Speaker 1: that you know in your talent and in a professional sport,

2397
01:58:31,080 --> 01:58:35,320
Speaker 1: how you cannot appreciate that skill level in another sport.

2398
01:58:35,480 --> 01:58:37,920
Speaker 1: It's stunning, isn't it, Pete? It is. It's just I

2399
01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:40,600
Speaker 1: can't ramp my hand around it. I mean, it's stunning.

2400
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:46,200
Speaker 1: You care to answer? It's stunning, But it's true. That's it,

2401
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:47,960
Speaker 1: that's all you have. That's all I can say. All right,

2402
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:50,120
Speaker 1: let's get back to a trade. Talk to the bills.

2403
01:58:50,160 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 1: Need a trade? What do you think? Uh, we'll go

2404
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:56,160
Speaker 1: to Cannon Buffalo. Hello, Ken, welcome to the show. Hey,

2405
01:58:56,280 --> 01:58:58,920
Speaker 1: how you doing? Um? I wanted to talk about that,

2406
01:58:59,080 --> 01:59:02,080
Speaker 1: but also um wanted to touch a little bit on

2407
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen and the crazy Buffalo people. But for trades,

2408
01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, I saw an interview with with Bean and

2409
01:59:12,080 --> 01:59:14,680
Speaker 1: he said one of his favorite things to do is

2410
01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 1: to bargain and hunt. And I think I think this

2411
01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 1: could be a big um trade deadline. I mean, we've

2412
01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:27,240
Speaker 1: got some assets here that aren't going to be back.

2413
01:59:28,960 --> 01:59:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out in the limit. I'm gonna say

2414
01:59:30,760 --> 01:59:33,520
Speaker 1: Benjamin's not going to be back. But I do believe

2415
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:39,800
Speaker 1: we need a three or four year speed receiver that

2416
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:46,040
Speaker 1: has season in this league to grow with Alan as

2417
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:50,160
Speaker 1: well as a Jones um the free agent market, I

2418
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:54,960
Speaker 1: looked ahead receivers. It's not going to be a you know,

2419
01:59:55,280 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 1: a on paper, it's not going to be a plent

2420
01:59:59,760 --> 02:00:03,480
Speaker 1: of full stock this year. So if we're gonna get

2421
02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:06,360
Speaker 1: experience and get something, that might have to be now.

2422
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:09,080
Speaker 1: And the second thing I want to touch on is

2423
02:00:09,120 --> 02:00:12,760
Speaker 1: this whole thing about these crazy people in Buffalo saying

2424
02:00:12,880 --> 02:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you know he doesn't have it. If you

2425
02:00:15,920 --> 02:00:19,200
Speaker 1: look back into the preseason when McCarron was here and

2426
02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 1: he had time to sit back, watch and learn. He

2427
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:26,680
Speaker 1: came into preseason games although Vanilla defenses, and he looked well.

2428
02:00:27,280 --> 02:00:30,960
Speaker 1: He set the first game that was ugly behind Peterman,

2429
02:00:31,360 --> 02:00:34,560
Speaker 1: but he watched. He came in, he saw some success

2430
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:37,720
Speaker 1: against San Diego, and then when he had the opportunity

2431
02:00:37,760 --> 02:00:44,480
Speaker 1: against Minnesota, people forget he looked like a good, fantastic

2432
02:00:44,720 --> 02:00:48,800
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. But then I think the speed and everything

2433
02:00:48,920 --> 02:00:51,760
Speaker 1: just got dumped on him. He needed some time to

2434
02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:56,000
Speaker 1: step back, and I think this time with Derek Anderson here,

2435
02:00:56,520 --> 02:00:58,480
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see when he comes back in.

2436
02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:01,880
Speaker 1: I think you're to see a major step and I

2437
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:03,640
Speaker 1: hope you're right, Ken, I hope you're right. You might

2438
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:05,440
Speaker 1: be right. I mean, there's a lot a lot there.

2439
02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:07,720
Speaker 1: All the way back to the stuff you said about

2440
02:01:07,760 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Brandon being, bargain hunting and trades and who's gonna be

2441
02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:14,000
Speaker 1: here who's not and looking ahead to free agency, there's

2442
02:01:14,000 --> 02:01:15,680
Speaker 1: no doubt that the Bills have looked ahead to free

2443
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:17,560
Speaker 1: agency see who's going to be out there as well

2444
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:21,080
Speaker 1: in that market. And I would think, given what has

2445
02:01:21,080 --> 02:01:22,640
Speaker 1: happened to this team in the past, I'm just gonna

2446
02:01:22,640 --> 02:01:25,080
Speaker 1: stick with a free agent wide receivers. I would think

2447
02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:27,680
Speaker 1: that the Bills have their eyes on some people that

2448
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans aren't really aware of. The

2449
02:01:31,480 --> 02:01:33,480
Speaker 1: same way they signed a guy like Micah Hyde and

2450
02:01:33,560 --> 02:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, Bills fans kind of knew who those guys were,

2451
02:01:36,720 --> 02:01:38,200
Speaker 1: but didn't know how good they were going to be.

2452
02:01:38,320 --> 02:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Those are the kind of things that Bills, you know,

2453
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:42,760
Speaker 1: the Brandon being and his group are kind of looking

2454
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:45,680
Speaker 1: to take advantage of people that we may not be

2455
02:01:45,800 --> 02:01:48,040
Speaker 1: aware of yet. And for Josh Allen, let's face it,

2456
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,920
Speaker 1: let's just pump the brakes a little bit. It's way

2457
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:53,040
Speaker 1: too early to give him a thumbs up or thumbs

2458
02:01:53,120 --> 02:01:57,360
Speaker 1: down in any way, shape or form. I liked what

2459
02:01:57,480 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I was seeing. I liked the way through the football,

2460
02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:05,320
Speaker 1: love his athletic ability, and I think they're gonna plug

2461
02:02:05,440 --> 02:02:07,400
Speaker 1: him back in when he's healthy and we can start

2462
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:10,120
Speaker 1: to evaluate him again once he does that. I think

2463
02:02:10,520 --> 02:02:12,880
Speaker 1: you've got to trust also that while he's sitting down

2464
02:02:13,680 --> 02:02:15,960
Speaker 1: and while Derek Anderson is playing, that he is going

2465
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:18,880
Speaker 1: to get better in some ways, small ways, maybe maybe

2466
02:02:18,960 --> 02:02:21,800
Speaker 1: just mental ways, maybe just routine ways, maybe watching another

2467
02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:24,720
Speaker 1: guy do it. And mistakes that Derek Anderson has made,

2468
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:27,800
Speaker 1: the throws, the interceptions, the good throws, and the decisions

2469
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:31,200
Speaker 1: and the windows that he's looking for on film are

2470
02:02:31,320 --> 02:02:33,360
Speaker 1: something that are gonna help Josh Allen when he does

2471
02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:36,320
Speaker 1: take over as quarterback again. So you got to think

2472
02:02:36,400 --> 02:02:38,880
Speaker 1: all this stuff's taking place while he's sitting down and

2473
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:41,560
Speaker 1: we're waiting on him to get healthy again. The big

2474
02:02:41,640 --> 02:02:43,920
Speaker 1: thing is you just want him to be one hundred

2475
02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:46,320
Speaker 1: percent healthy again. You don't want this elbow thing to linger.

2476
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:47,880
Speaker 1: You don't want that to get in the way of

2477
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:51,080
Speaker 1: evaluating how good or bad he can become this season.

2478
02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:53,120
Speaker 1: He's not going to be a finished product. Even if

2479
02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:55,560
Speaker 1: he played all sixteen games this year, he was not

2480
02:02:55,640 --> 02:02:58,320
Speaker 1: going to be a finished product for next season. He's

2481
02:02:58,360 --> 02:03:00,240
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. And when he comes

2482
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,800
Speaker 1: back to training camp and OTA's next year, all the

2483
02:03:03,880 --> 02:03:06,720
Speaker 1: pieces around him may be different and he's got to

2484
02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 1: learn all that as well. So we've got a long

2485
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 1: way to go before we're gonna ever know how good

2486
02:03:11,720 --> 02:03:14,000
Speaker 1: or bad Josh Allen's gonna be. I agree, Hey, every

2487
02:03:14,040 --> 02:03:16,760
Speaker 1: week they do it every week. Chris Brown, Sean McDermott,

2488

Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Bill's head coach. Every week on Wednesdays, they

2490
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:24,600
Speaker 1: sit down, put a cup of coffee between him and

2491
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:28,000
Speaker 1: never touch it. It's called Coffee with the Coach, Presented

2492

Speaker 1: by Tim Hortons. I told him I saw him doing.

Speaker 1: I was like, you know, we have a thing going.

2494
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:34,160
Speaker 1: They neither want of me drink coffee while they having

2495
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:36,160
Speaker 1: Coffee with the Coach. Coffee the Coach presented by Tim

2497
02:03:41,560 --> 02:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Hello again, everybody, Welcome to the week eight edition of

2498
02:03:44,320 --> 02:03:46,960
Speaker 1: Coffee with the Coach, presented by Tim Hortons. I'm Chris Brown,

2499
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:49,320
Speaker 1: along with Bill's head coach Sean McDermott, as the Bills

2500
02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:52,240
Speaker 1: are finally home to face the New England Patriots on

2501
02:03:52,360 --> 02:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Monday Night football coach, as always, thanks for being with us.

2502
02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:58,640
Speaker 1: So you're quickly approaching the midway point of the season here.

2503
02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:01,520
Speaker 1: When you reach mids season and you don't have a

2504
02:04:01,560 --> 02:04:04,560
Speaker 1: bye week yet, do you have any time to kind

2505
02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:07,680
Speaker 1: of take an overview of your program as head coach,

2506
02:04:07,760 --> 02:04:10,400
Speaker 1: not necessarily burying yourself in details, but just kind of

2507
02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:12,600
Speaker 1: a bird's eye view of what's going on. Well, you

2508
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:14,280
Speaker 1: try and do that. I try and do that alone

2509
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:17,720
Speaker 1: with Brandon being our general manager on Mondays, where we

2510
02:04:17,840 --> 02:04:20,400
Speaker 1: can really take it, as you said, a bird's eye

2511
02:04:20,480 --> 02:04:24,600
Speaker 1: view of where we are, where we've come from, and

2512
02:04:24,640 --> 02:04:26,560
Speaker 1: where we're trying to go moving forward in the coming

2513
02:04:26,600 --> 02:04:29,880
Speaker 1: weeks and months and years. And that allows us to

2514
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:32,320
Speaker 1: do that. And we've got an extra day this week,

2515
02:04:32,400 --> 02:04:34,640
Speaker 1: so it allow us a little bit of time to

2516
02:04:34,720 --> 02:04:37,240
Speaker 1: do that. But we also know that we've had a

2517
02:04:37,640 --> 02:04:40,480
Speaker 1: very very strong opponent coming here. Over the last week

2518
02:04:40,600 --> 02:04:42,240
Speaker 1: or so, we've heard you kind of use the word

2519
02:04:42,360 --> 02:04:44,880
Speaker 1: accountability and trying to get your team like back on

2520
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:48,600
Speaker 1: the right track, not the same your players aren't accountable,

2521
02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:52,200
Speaker 1: But why the need to reinforce it, maybe week after

2522
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:55,400
Speaker 1: week almost as a reminder to your point, Well, there's

2523
02:04:55,480 --> 02:04:57,880
Speaker 1: there are certain messages that we believe in, and I

2524
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:00,680
Speaker 1: believe in being consistent with those messages, following up with

2525
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:04,280
Speaker 1: those messages, maybe not saying it exactly the same way,

2526
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:07,280
Speaker 1: but trying to keep the message fresh in terms of

2527
02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:09,760
Speaker 1: how we present it. So it's important that our young

2528
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:13,800
Speaker 1: players that we're onboarding onto our team understand what's expected

2529
02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:17,040
Speaker 1: of them each and every day of the regular season.

2530
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:20,000
Speaker 1: As we are here in the month of October. You

2531
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:23,160
Speaker 1: brought Brian Dabele down from the coaches with this past week.

2532
02:05:23,280 --> 02:05:26,880
Speaker 1: You wanted to improve communication, kind of face to face

2533
02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm guessing instead of on the phone to a certain degree.

2534
02:05:29,640 --> 02:05:32,000
Speaker 1: How effective do you feel that was with some of

2535
02:05:32,040 --> 02:05:34,760
Speaker 1: your offensive players. Yeah, I think that that's important, right,

2536
02:05:34,840 --> 02:05:37,720
Speaker 1: Communications big and whatever you do in this case, the

2537
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:42,120
Speaker 1: communication that takes place for an offensive unit and then

2538
02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:45,000
Speaker 1: from coach to coach, player to coach, and player to

2539
02:05:45,080 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 1: player is important, so important that we're on the same

2540
02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:50,240
Speaker 1: page in this case, with the offense. Let's take a

2541
02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:53,160
Speaker 1: look now at the Patriots. So just your initial thoughts

2542
02:05:53,200 --> 02:05:55,800
Speaker 1: when I give you the name James White. Yeah, a

2543
02:05:55,840 --> 02:06:01,080
Speaker 1: good football player, well used in certain situations a lot. Yeah,

2544
02:06:01,640 --> 02:06:04,040
Speaker 1: in a tough match up. Um, not only the run game,

2545
02:06:04,080 --> 02:06:06,320
Speaker 1: but the past game as well. So, um, he's got

2546
02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:08,280
Speaker 1: a guy that's getting in the ball, that's uh, you know,

2547
02:06:08,320 --> 02:06:11,160
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer and and uh, you know,

2548
02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:13,280
Speaker 1: he's a guy they go to in critical situation, a

2549
02:06:13,400 --> 02:06:16,160
Speaker 1: new arrival that they're blending into the full Josh Cord,

2550
02:06:17,200 --> 02:06:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, a player that obviously he's um spent a

2551
02:06:19,600 --> 02:06:23,200
Speaker 1: lot of his career in Cleveland there, and um, it's

2552
02:06:23,240 --> 02:06:25,600
Speaker 1: not unlike New England to take on a player like this,

2553
02:06:25,840 --> 02:06:29,160
Speaker 1: and and um, you know that they've got they've put

2554
02:06:29,240 --> 02:06:31,480
Speaker 1: him in positions to be successful, and they've got a

2555
02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:33,840
Speaker 1: quarterback that that can get him the ball. And in

2556
02:06:33,920 --> 02:06:36,839
Speaker 1: a culture it seems that that can that can onboard

2557
02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:39,080
Speaker 1: a player like this that has had some challenges maybe

2558
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:41,600
Speaker 1: off the field, and but he's off to a good

2559
02:06:41,640 --> 02:06:44,280
Speaker 1: start and really opens the field up for him. And

2560
02:06:44,400 --> 02:06:46,880
Speaker 1: finally an underrated player for them on the defensive side.

2561
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Defensive and tree Flowers good football player, you know, and

2562
02:06:50,640 --> 02:06:52,720
Speaker 1: and like you said, underrated, he's probably under the radar.

2563
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of the lot of the uh

2564
02:06:55,400 --> 02:06:58,280
Speaker 1: the spotlight goes to naturally to the quarterback position in

2565
02:06:58,360 --> 02:07:01,280
Speaker 1: New England and and the hey coch position for good reason.

2566
02:07:02,520 --> 02:07:04,920
Speaker 1: But he trade does a great job and not only

2567
02:07:04,920 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 1: the run game, but the past game as well. All right,

2568
02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 1: now it's time for our fan Question of the week,

2569
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:11,960
Speaker 1: a chance for you the fan to ask Piach a question.

2570
02:07:12,040 --> 02:07:15,680
Speaker 1: This week's question comes from Derek on Twitter and he asked,

2571
02:07:15,760 --> 02:07:19,120
Speaker 1: how has Buffalo worked with wide receivers to make positive

2572
02:07:19,240 --> 02:07:21,960
Speaker 1: change since the start of the season. Comes Well, I

2573
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:24,120
Speaker 1: would put that into the bucket of developing our players

2574
02:07:24,200 --> 02:07:26,280
Speaker 1: not only at the wide receiver position but every position.

2575
02:07:26,360 --> 02:07:28,520
Speaker 1: But it's specific to the wide receiver position. You're seeing

2576
02:07:29,120 --> 02:07:31,560
Speaker 1: some players get more and more reps, and with more

2577
02:07:31,600 --> 02:07:35,400
Speaker 1: and more reps comes more and more consistency and trust,

2578
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:37,640
Speaker 1: and you're starting to see some of the wide receivers

2579
02:07:37,680 --> 02:07:40,360
Speaker 1: come alive. And in this past game in particular, and

2580
02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:42,320
Speaker 1: then you saw Calvin had had a couple of big

2581
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:44,280
Speaker 1: catches over the middle, which is big for us and

2582
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:47,960
Speaker 1: and Zay the last week before that, so you know

2583
02:07:48,040 --> 02:07:51,600
Speaker 1: we're making we're making headway in that direction. More work

2584
02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:53,880
Speaker 1: to be done and it'll be a challenge for us

2585
02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:58,200
Speaker 1: to continue to make progress in that entry. All right,

2586
02:07:58,240 --> 02:08:00,040
Speaker 1: coach is always Thanks for the time, good luck in

2587
02:08:00,120 --> 02:08:01,960
Speaker 1: the big home win on Monday nights. Thanks christ and

2588
02:08:01,960 --> 02:08:04,120
Speaker 1: all right, that's bills, said coach Sean McDermott. This says

2589
02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:06,800
Speaker 1: getting coffee gets the Coach presented by Tim Hortons. Thanks

2590
02:08:06,840 --> 02:08:09,680
Speaker 1: for watching. We'll see you next week. Coffee is safe.

2591
02:08:09,720 --> 02:08:12,680
Speaker 1: No one even reaches for the coffee cups. It's like

2592
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:15,760
Speaker 1: the show is about something else. They don't even look

2593
02:08:15,800 --> 02:08:17,640
Speaker 1: at the coffee. They've each got a cup of coffee

2594
02:08:17,680 --> 02:08:18,840
Speaker 1: in front of them, they don't even touch it. They

2595
02:08:18,840 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: don't even look at it. Coffee or the Coach presented

2596
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 1: by Tim Horton's Cafe and Bake Shop, the official coffee

2597
02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:26,040
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo bills. You know, if you don't like coffee,

2598
02:08:26,080 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 1: then order something else, said Tim's right. Get a tea,

2599
02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:30,960
Speaker 1: get a you know, an ice cap or something. You know,

2600
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:34,160
Speaker 1: they're sitting there baking egg and cheese business. There you go, Hey,

2601
02:08:34,520 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 1: NFL True or False is brought to you by Yancey's

2602
02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:39,440
Speaker 1: fancy New York's artists and cheese. A couple of intriguing

2603
02:08:39,880 --> 02:08:45,760
Speaker 1: issues here. Stevie already Yep, Jaguars should trade for Tyrod Taylor. True. False.

2604
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true. He's not playing in Cleveland. Doug

2605
02:08:49,360 --> 02:08:51,520
Speaker 1: Marrone knows who he is, knows what to expect, knows

2606
02:08:51,600 --> 02:08:53,640
Speaker 1: he won't throw it away, which has been an issue

2607
02:08:53,640 --> 02:08:56,480
Speaker 1: down there for their quarterbacks. That was what he specifically

2608
02:08:56,520 --> 02:09:00,280
Speaker 1: mentioned about Bortles. Right, and you could be okay with right,

2609
02:09:00,320 --> 02:09:02,080
Speaker 1: Tylor They need something in Jacksonville. I look, I'm not

2610
02:09:02,200 --> 02:09:04,360
Speaker 1: rooting for him, but I think Tyrod Taylor be a

2611
02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:07,280
Speaker 1: nice pick up for them. True. Yeah, he wouldn't turn

2612
02:09:07,320 --> 02:09:11,360
Speaker 1: it over. Yeah, that's I mean, sometimes you you're better

2613
02:09:11,440 --> 02:09:16,240
Speaker 1: off kneeling down with it than but yeah, they gotta Yeah,

2614
02:09:16,480 --> 02:09:18,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't turn it, He won't turn it over, and

2615
02:09:18,200 --> 02:09:20,320
Speaker 1: he throws a good deep ball. They got a great defense.

2616
02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 1: They would be winning games the way they won last year.

2617
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:27,160
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, what more do you need? I

2618
02:09:27,200 --> 02:09:29,520
Speaker 1: mean that if if Cleveland is not going to have

2619
02:09:29,640 --> 02:09:31,160
Speaker 1: him on the roster, and I don't know who Cleveland

2620
02:09:31,240 --> 02:09:36,320
Speaker 1: has behind uh Baker Mayfield and Tyrod Taylor. I imagine

2621
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Tyrod's healthy after the concussion which benched him and what

2622
02:09:39,200 --> 02:09:42,200
Speaker 1: put Baker Mayfield in the game. But I would think, yeah,

2623
02:09:42,280 --> 02:09:44,520
Speaker 1: that would be a no brainer, depending on what other

2624
02:09:44,720 --> 02:09:47,600
Speaker 1: what else, you know what the Browns are asking in return,

2625
02:09:48,400 --> 02:09:50,120
Speaker 1: probably maybe a third round or the same one they

2626
02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:54,120
Speaker 1: got him for treating deadline coming up on say true, Yeah, yeah,

2627
02:09:54,160 --> 02:09:56,360
Speaker 1: you get true. We both say true, absolutely, so it

2628
02:09:56,480 --> 02:09:58,600
Speaker 1: can't happen. It's easy for us on somebody else's team,

2629
02:09:58,880 --> 02:10:03,080
Speaker 1: somebody else's name. NFL two or Falls Part two. Mounting

2630
02:10:03,200 --> 02:10:07,040
Speaker 1: injuries we'll seek will sink Sam Darnold's chances of having

2631
02:10:07,080 --> 02:10:10,200
Speaker 1: a productive season. They lost balal Poldy. I are that's

2632
02:10:10,240 --> 02:10:13,320
Speaker 1: a big loss for them. M Look, it's it's kind

2633
02:10:13,360 --> 02:10:16,040
Speaker 1: of like, um, Josh Allen. I mean, he's his own

2634
02:10:16,080 --> 02:10:18,920
Speaker 1: injured player now. But even with his lack of depth

2635
02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:22,080
Speaker 1: and production out of the Bills receivers and with some

2636
02:10:22,160 --> 02:10:24,400
Speaker 1: of the offensive problems they've had, you know, another injury

2637
02:10:24,400 --> 02:10:27,120
Speaker 1: to little Sean McCoy, Donald's in the same boat. Yes, true,

2638
02:10:27,160 --> 02:10:30,080
Speaker 1: mounting injuries will will slow down his chances of having

2639
02:10:30,120 --> 02:10:31,640
Speaker 1: a really good season. I see yes to that. What

2640
02:10:31,720 --> 02:10:33,640
Speaker 1: do you think, of course? I mean that's yes, I

2641
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:36,160
Speaker 1: say true, and it's it's not just that for Sam

2642
02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:38,280
Speaker 1: Darnold's everything else that goes along with being a rookie

2643
02:10:38,360 --> 02:10:41,680
Speaker 1: quarterback is trying to decipher defenses, make reads, make good throws,

2644
02:10:42,400 --> 02:10:46,040
Speaker 1: stand in the pocket under pressure, and having less or

2645
02:10:46,360 --> 02:10:49,000
Speaker 1: less familiar guys around you to do that with makes

2646
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:52,840
Speaker 1: it harder. So yeah, there's no question that all these

2647
02:10:52,920 --> 02:10:56,520
Speaker 1: guys need the most help you can give them. And

2648
02:10:56,680 --> 02:10:59,480
Speaker 1: some of them the Jets, some of the Cardinals, the Bills,

2649
02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:02,560
Speaker 1: that Browns. You know, they're doing the best with the

2650
02:11:02,600 --> 02:11:04,400
Speaker 1: guys around them they can and they're gonna you know,

2651
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:07,360
Speaker 1: their success is gonna be based. It's an ultimate team game.

2652
02:11:07,600 --> 02:11:10,240
Speaker 1: So the injuries that are hurting the Jets are definitely

2653
02:11:10,280 --> 02:11:12,320
Speaker 1: going to hurt their quarterback as well. Answer to your

2654
02:11:12,360 --> 02:11:17,000
Speaker 1: earlier question, Drew Stanton veteran is the third quarterback on

2655
02:11:17,080 --> 02:11:19,160
Speaker 1: the Browns roster. You can live with him at your

2656
02:11:19,200 --> 02:11:24,800
Speaker 1: back up as less your championship here, Russ, you're str

2657
02:11:25,040 --> 02:11:27,400
Speaker 1: starting you know, unless you have to start him games,

2658
02:11:27,440 --> 02:11:29,240
Speaker 1: then you might do that. But I mean it's not

2659
02:11:29,280 --> 02:11:32,280
Speaker 1: like Browns are gonna contend for championship. They could do

2660
02:11:32,360 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 1: that easy. We got a break coming up here. That's

2661
02:11:34,240 --> 02:11:36,520
Speaker 1: NFL tur for Falls, brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2662
02:11:36,600 --> 02:11:38,920
Speaker 1: New York's artists and Cheese Back with more. One Bills

2663
02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:56,880
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio. What

2664
02:11:57,120 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 1: we learned from today's show, presented by Advanced Alarm providing

2665
02:12:00,040 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 1: Western New York's homes and businesses with the Finance and

2666
02:12:03,040 --> 02:12:05,760
Speaker 1: Security and Home Theater, the preferred alarm and home theater

2667
02:12:05,800 --> 02:12:08,440
Speaker 1: provider of the Buffalo Bills. We had Bill's rookie defensive lineman,

2668
02:12:08,680 --> 02:12:11,600
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips in studio with us today and he talking

2669
02:12:11,640 --> 02:12:14,480
Speaker 1: about team culture and how it works between Bill's veterans

2670
02:12:14,520 --> 02:12:18,400
Speaker 1: and some of the rookies. I think it's perfect case

2671
02:12:18,480 --> 02:12:20,520
Speaker 1: and point. You can see that in other people's rooms too,

2672
02:12:21,200 --> 02:12:23,640
Speaker 1: where you have a veteran leader or someone who has

2673
02:12:23,760 --> 02:12:25,960
Speaker 1: some playing time under their belt, who does things the

2674
02:12:26,080 --> 02:12:28,320
Speaker 1: right way, and all of us young guys that they're

2675
02:12:28,360 --> 02:12:30,920
Speaker 1: bringing in through the draft. That's the only taste we

2676
02:12:31,040 --> 02:12:33,560
Speaker 1: have of the NFL's That's what NFL life is like,

2677
02:12:33,720 --> 02:12:38,040
Speaker 1: you know. So I can't be, you know, happy enough

2678
02:12:38,120 --> 02:12:40,400
Speaker 1: of the whole process of how I got to be

2679
02:12:40,520 --> 02:12:43,240
Speaker 1: here and who's here now? That I am here, and yeah,

2680
02:12:43,320 --> 02:12:46,880
Speaker 1: taking advantage of everything that Kyle is willing to sure

2681
02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:49,240
Speaker 1: to share. There we go, what else have we learned?

2682
02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:51,640
Speaker 1: We had Don Banks on from the former Sports Illustrated

2683
02:12:51,800 --> 02:12:54,440
Speaker 1: NFL reporter and I'm working for the Atlantic dot Com

2684
02:12:54,560 --> 02:12:56,920
Speaker 1: and Boston talking about the Patriots and he we asked

2685
02:12:56,960 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 1: him what the Patriots fans think of the Buffalo New

2686
02:12:59,480 --> 02:13:05,600
Speaker 1: England rivalry. I think they believe, rightly or wrongly, that

2687
02:13:06,120 --> 02:13:08,760
Speaker 1: the Bills have the Patriots in their heads and that

2688
02:13:09,120 --> 02:13:12,280
Speaker 1: they can if they hang close, that they're going to

2689
02:13:12,360 --> 02:13:15,360
Speaker 1: find a way to beat a Bill's team. You know

2690
02:13:15,480 --> 02:13:19,800
Speaker 1: that That Leontis McKelvin fumble on the kickoff, I want

2691
02:13:19,840 --> 02:13:21,600
Speaker 1: to say that was in the opener of OH nine.

2692
02:13:21,640 --> 02:13:23,960
Speaker 1: It was the first game back for Brady after the

2693
02:13:24,040 --> 02:13:28,320
Speaker 1: knee surgery. To me, that personifies what Pats fans, right
