There was one we were playing I'm you know, 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: we were playing golf mid March, okay, and we never 57 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: stopped from that moment on. This was within in my lifetime. 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: This has been my golfing years, So yeah, that happened once. 59 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I need to know what the earliest departure is ever 60 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: been for winter here. That's because that's what we're shooting for, folks. 61 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: I'd be happy to open the trap door on the 62 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: snow season at any point in March, right, I'm at 63 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: least realistic. I know that's not happening in January. It's 64 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 4: not happening in February. 65 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: Mean, to lead March would be nice. 66 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: Could Usually my general rule of thumb was for a 67 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: long time was always tax Day April fifteenth. We were 68 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: usually on the golf course by then, pre steady. But 69 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: it has fluctuated greatly in years. But like you know, 70 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: you get wet, you get a stretch of three weeks 71 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: of rain and it's like, oh. 72 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: I remember during COVID twenty twenty, we had wet snow 73 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 4: on Mother's Day, That's right.

And it's a lengthy list 126 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 4: here in terms of what we have to explain to you, 127 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: not in terms of players. 128 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: Thankfully, good news on the injury or front. Let's start there. 129 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: Wide receiver Keyon Coleman, for the first time in a month, 130 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 4: is going to be listed as a full participant in practice. 131 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: Now. 132 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 4: It is a walk through practice, as we told you today, 133 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 4: so by rule, they have to provide an estimation of 134 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: what Coleman's practice participation would be if it was a 135 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 4: regular practice, and they're listing him as a full participant 136 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 4: when it comes out this afternoon. That's what had coach 137 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 4: Sean McDermott told us about an hour ago. So it 138 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: certainly indicates, barring a setback, that he will return to 139 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 4: the lineup this week in Detroit. No participation designation was 140 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 4: provided for Dalton Kincaid, so we'll have to wait and 141 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 4: see what the injury report reveals when it's released later 142 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 4: this afternoon. On him, he was a limited participant throughout 143 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 4: the week last week and then obviously did not play 144 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 4: against the Rams. Limited in practice today will be Casey 145 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 4: two Hill, the defensive end who left last week's game 146 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: with a rib injury, not practicing today at all, cornerback 147 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: Rasul Douglas with a knee injury, and safety Tailor rap who. 148 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,239 Speaker 2: Came out of last week's game with a neck injury. 149 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 4: Also injured reserve players Dewan Smoot and Balen Spector will 150 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 4: have their twenty one day practice windows opened today.

When on IR, they remain on injured reserve, 153 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 4: but can spend up to the next twenty one days 154 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 4: practicing with the team until a decision is made on 155 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: their status, that being either activate them to the fifty 156 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 4: three man roster or put them on season ending injured reserve, 157 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: and then they cannot come back and play the rest 158 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: of the year, including the postseason. Entering his final week 159 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 4: of practice while still on injured reserve, Rookie offensive tackle 160 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 4: Tyland Grable practicing again today and well I would assume 161 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: since he has been practicing fully the last two weeks 162 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 4: that he will be elevated back to the fifty three 163 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: man roster. 164 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: They'll put they may push it as far as they can, 165 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: but this is the last week they have a spot 166 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: for him, and I. 167 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 2: Think they create a spot for him, don't you. 168 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's always. 169 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: I mean, they had a spot at the beginning of 170 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: the year. 171 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: Because they'll have one. They'll have Coleman playing, so they 172 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: can it may be you know, wide receiver. They can 173 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: do it with any position they want. So we'll see. 174 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: We'll see. 175 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: Because Grabile, as we know, made the fifty three man roster, 176 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 4: was this team's swing tackle as a rookie, and then 177 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 4: he got some playing time and the blowout win over 178 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week three, and then suffered a 179 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 4: core muscle injury. It's been out since then, so be 180 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 4: nice to see him back in the fold. 181 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 2: Be some welcome debt almost three months. 182 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: Some welcome depth on the edges of the offensive lot. 183 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 4: In off the field news, the Buffalo Bills and Terry 184 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 4: Pagoula confirmed the addition of ten limited partners to the 185 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 4: ownership group. The non controlling minority interests were improved earlier 186 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 4: today at the NFL meetings in Dallas, Texas. This represents 187 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 4: the first time in franchise history that minority owners have 188 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 4: been added. According to reports, the Pagoula has sold a 189 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: little over ten percent to this group of business executives. 190 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 4: The new limited partners pending final closing of the agreements 191 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 4: include arctose A private investment Rob Palumbo, co managing partner 192 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 4: of Excel KKR, technology focused private equity firm.

And what it does gives them some working 209 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: capital to put towards the new stadium and all the 210 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: stuff that's going on over there. And it's what they get. 211 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: You asked, well, what do they get. They don't get 212 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: to say anything that happens in the football team. They 213 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: don't get to say anything that they might get some 214 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: good tickets or a suite or something. They might get 215 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: some of that, but they don't get to say what 216 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: happens in the building. They're just investors in what's going 217 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: on at one Bill's Drive. And theoretically, the way I understand, 218 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: and I could be completely wrong, but their return comes 219 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: when the team changes hands again or when they get 220 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: bought out. And as you can imagine, the Bills are 221 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: accruing equity pretty fast right now. Despite the cash that's 222 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: going out into the new stadium over there, the franchise 223 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: itself is much more valuable than when Tarry and Kim 224 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: Pagoula took over, so that you know, they get part 225 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: of that equity kind of thing. So and it's valued 226 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: at the current moment though, so all that goes into it, 227 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: so it gives them some working capital the way I understand, 228 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of cool, you know, I don't know, it's new. 229 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 4: It is new for fans that are wondering. These minority 230 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 4: owners do not have any controlling interest in the club, 231 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 4: so as far as decision making goes, that still rests 232 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,119 Speaker 4: with the Pagoulas. 233 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: But they're yeah, you can imagine though, they're right there. 234 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: Card money or check or whatever however that does it. 235 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: And they're betting on the prosperity of the NFL absolutely, 236 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: which is a pretty good bet these days. 237 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: And a good bet on this club. 238 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 4: With the new stadium coming and everything else, revenue streams 239 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 4: will undoubtedly increase. So you're brought up to date on 240 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 4: the Bill side of the ledger. Now it's time for 241 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 4: us to go around the NFL. Presented by Kalida Healthy, 242 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: official health care system of the Buffalo Bills, and multiple 243 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 4: sources are telling local ABCTV affiliate down in North Carolina 244 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 4: that the UNC Board of Trustees is set to meet 245 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: today to approve the contract for Bill Belichick to become 246 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 4: the next head coach at the University of North Carolina 247 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 4: Chapel Hill. I didn't think this was going to happen, 248 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: but it looks like it's headed in that direction, and 249 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 4: it's going to be a seismic investment by this university 250 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 4: to make this all work. Based on the reports we 251 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 4: saw of the four hundred page Belichick manifesto. 252 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: I think it's not only a huge investment by North 253 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: Carolina University North Carolina, it's also a paradigm shift for 254 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: them because from what I've heard some of the reports 255 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 1: I've heard that they're going to have to completely revamp 256 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: the way they have addressed their football and athletic department. 257 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: This is a change in how they do business at 258 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: a profound level, and we'll see how it goes. Certainly, 259 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: they've got a guy who who, in Bill Belichick, has 260 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: the chops right, and one of his best buddies is 261 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Sure he's They've had conversations at length. They're 262 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: going to try and run University North Carolina the way 263 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: the big programs are run as conduits to the nf 264 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: That's how they sell it to the kids. It's a 265 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: conduit to the NFL, and we'll pay you money. Now. 266 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 4: Belichick is seventy three years old. Among the reports, it 267 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 4: was stated that Belichick wanted a guarantee that his son, 268 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 4: Stephen Belichick would be a head coach in waiting. So 269 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 4: after Belichick coaches, I don't know until he's seventy six whatever, 270 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 4: then heads off into the sunset, his son will succeed him, 271 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 4: no questions asked. 272 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: It's an interesting thing for the university to take on. 273 00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: And we mentioned this in passing yesterday. Are the the 274 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: University of North Carolina aware that he was head coach 275 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: of the Jets for like twelve hours and resigned? 276 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: Maybe what if he does? 277 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 4: I think the main impetus for that decision was rooted 278 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 4: in the fact that the owner of the Jets, Leon Hess, 279 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: had just died and new ownership was unclear. And I 280 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 4: don't think that was a situation that Belichick felt comfortable entering, 281 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 4: because here he is getting hired by Parcels for all 282 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 4: intents and purposes as the head coach of the Jets 283 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 4: without an owner. And who's to say the owner comes 284 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 4: is I don't want that guy, I want somebody else. 285 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 286 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 4: And so because of that tenuous nature of that, I 287 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 4: think that's why he pulled the ripcord and went to 288 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 4: New England. The Giants this week are going to start 289 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 4: Tommy DeVito at quarterback against the Ravens. That according to 290 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 4: head coach Brian Dable. The reason why backup quarterback Drew Locke, 291 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 4: who started the last couple of weeks, is in an 292 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 4: immobilizer boot with a heel injury and is not practicing today. 293 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: So Dable said, well the heck with that, Let's just 294 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: start to Vito. Here we go. What's the difference, I mean, 295 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: what's the difference. 296 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: Well, there may not be any in that. 297 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: The worst news of all, well, I think we've known 298 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: that already, right. 299 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: This is I don't think this is going to be 300 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: pretty at all. No, I think it's going to be 301 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: an absolute debacle'll be a blood letting. I think it's 302 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: going to be an ugly football game. And you know 303 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: Baltimore has gotten no off switch. 304 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 4: Oh no, no mercy there, there's no mercy rules with 305 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 4: the Ravens there. They'll be happy to win forty eight 306 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 4: to three. 307 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: Oh hopefully it's not eighty four to three. I mean 308 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: that they're the Giants are undermanned with a bad quarterback. Yeah, 309 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: I ain't this game. This is your worst nightmare as 310 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: a football fan. 311 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase is your AFC Offensive Player 312 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 4: of the Week after his fourteen catch, one hundred and seven 313 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 4: seven yard two touchdown performance, which included a game winning 314 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 4: forty yard touchdown in the final minute to live Cincinnati 315 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 4: to their twenty seven to twenty Monday Night win over Dallas. 316 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 4: I think there was a quarterback that had six touchdowns, 317 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 4: but far be it from me to I guess tell 318 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 4: them how to vote for Offensive player of the week. 319 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: It must be. It must be you gotta win the 320 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: game and that's where the bills. 321 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: Or you're not allowed to win it two weeks in 322 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 2: a row. I don't know. Yeah, because he won it 323 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 2: last week. 324 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 325 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 4: Sam Darnold was the NFC Offensive Player of the Week 326 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 4: after a five passing touchdown performance against Atlanta and the 327 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 4: Vikings win over the Falcons. 328 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, five passage down, they sit down for the last quarter. 329 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. It was forty two to twenty one 330 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 2: in the final might last quarter. 331 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 4: The NFL is going to play a regular season game 332 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 4: in Berlin for the first time next season. The league 333 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 4: announced that today the game will be played at the 334 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 4: Olympic Stadium. It'll be the fifth regular season game played 335 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 4: in Germany. The NFL has played games in Munich and 336 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 4: Frankfurt since the twenty twenty two season. 337 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: So I played a game in that Olympic state. 338 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's when you guys were playing the World Bowl 339 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 4: games right next But it wasn't a regular season games. 340 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: Preseason game, and I'll say it was interesting that you 341 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: know that, and for those people who are of a 342 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: certain vintage. And the Mayfield is right next to the stadium, 343 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: and if you don't know what the mayfield, I'll let 344 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: you go look it up. It's it's quite the place, okay. 345 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: And the old Olympic Stadium was there is right there, 346 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: and we practiced on the mayfield, and uh why it 347 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: was you know, Berlin is a fantastic city and it's 348 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: it's good for the league to give them a game 349 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: and all that, and regular season game at that, so 350 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: kind of cool. 351 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 4: So that is around the NFL presented by Colida Health, 352 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 4: and we pivot now to head coach Sean McDermott, who 353 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 4: addressed the media about an hour ago, covering a range 354 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 4: of topics including who might be stepping into the lineup 355 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 4: if players like Taylor rap and or Rasul Douglass are 356 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 4: unavailable on Sunday. 357 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: Here's Buffalo Sideline Boss. 358 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 6: If you could maybe talk about the defensive line player 359 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 6: but this year, I mean obviously last week wasn't wasn't 360 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 6: good enough? Do you think generally, what what's your what 361 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 6: your thought generally on how the line has performed for 362 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 6: you on the defensive side. 363 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 7: I think overall, again not to single anyone position or 364 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 7: player out. I think it's more than anything, it's, uh, 365 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 7: just they set the table right and uh the line 366 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 7: of scrimmage has to be set, usually by the defensive line, 367 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 7: but also not just them in this case, it's linebackers, 368 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 7: safety corners. It takes all eleven uh in that regard. 369 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 7: So you know, I think there's been some really good moments, 370 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 7: and I think there's some things, for sure that we 371 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 7: can improve on. 372 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 6: Were you specifically on Oliver? Numbers are down this year 373 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 6: just looking at him. Do you notice anything in particular 374 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 6: our teams just having better success with him. He hasn't 375 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 6: been penetrated as much as he did last year. 376 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 7: On him specifically, you're saying you're aware that he hasn't 377 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 7: been has not been practiced penetrating is what you're said. 378 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 6: The numbers say that he's not getting penetrated. These stacks 379 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 6: are down, his pressures are. 380 00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 8: Down, all of that stuff. 381 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean sometimes the protection turns to him, sometimes 382 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 7: it doesn't, and he has a one on one. So 383 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 7: it's a combination of things really, And you know, sometimes 384 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 7: what gets hidden in some of that is some of 385 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 7: the factors that free somebody else up, So it could 386 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 7: be him, you know, uh, moving the quarterback off the 387 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 7: spot and Greg gets a sack. So sometimes there's some 388 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 7: things hidden in there. But overall, I think, uh, you know, 389 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 7: to your point, there's some things that that he can 390 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 7: do better, and then collectively we can do better as 391 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 7: a whole as. 392 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 3: Well, showing that defense was enough, that performance was enough 393 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 3: to your standards. 394 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: Well, how what do you expect a response to be 395 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: this weekend? 396 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 7: Well, I think we got to get back to good 397 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 7: fundamental football. I think that's really where it starts. And 398 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 7: and playing uh with with a with a certain attitude 399 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 7: of mentality. 400 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 8: When you play a team like this last weekend, like 401 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 8: the lines, they want to get you out of what 402 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 8: you do. I would assume there's a balance between do 403 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 8: them like you do well and adjusting to what they do. 404 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 8: Do you think think you got out of balance last 405 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 8: this pass game in terms of sticking to what seems 406 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 8: to work for the faster year views. 407 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 7: You know, overall, I think there's multiple things probably that 408 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 7: led to that result, not just what they do. It's 409 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 7: some of what what we did or didn't do. So 410 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 7: you know, you start to go back and reteach the fundamentals, 411 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 7: reteach the standard, reteach the vision for what what it's 412 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 7: supposed to look like. And and that's together coaches and players. 413 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 7: It's not just the players, it's it's us as coaches, 414 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 7: and you know, being a connected, connected unit in that 415 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 7: regard as a kid put up a. 416 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 6: Lot of sex. Is sure what what impresses your butt? 417 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 6: Their offensive line and how they protect them. 418 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 7: They do a great job in particularly in the play 419 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 7: action game and screen game, and they do a great 420 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 7: job protecting him in those in those two capacities. 421 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 9: Were still dealing with the injury. 422 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 10: Could it potentially be an opportunity for Kaye and a 423 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 10: little bit more on him. 424 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 2: What's gone into the decision to kind of keep him 425 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: down the. 426 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 10: Last couple of weeks. 427 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 7: Everything's earned, So that's that's part of every decision, A 428 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 7: big part of every decision and and most of the 429 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 7: reason for every decision really in terms of who's inactive 430 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 7: and and whatnot. So everything's earned and and he can 431 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 7: continue to be earned as we move forward. This week 432 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 7: no different, So we'll see where it goes. 433 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 11: It's a been about Ky You're not earning the right 434 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 11: to be active. 435 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 7: Well maybe maybe that maybe some other players have earned 436 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 7: it more so, it's sometimes it's highly competitive. So you 437 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 7: know he's been up sometimes and other times he hasn't. 438 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: Sorry, is it ribs for Casey? 439 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 7: Was the injury? 440 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: Yes? 441 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 12: In that scene and what happens in your Marcus Kiman 442 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 12: briefly for like, what have you seen it from him? 443 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 7: Well, you saw some of the production early. I think 444 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 7: you know, the pick six he had and just getting 445 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 7: his hands on ball, you know, the ball and making 446 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 7: a play. And I think it was the Arizona game 447 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 7: to help us seal the game there. And he's he's 448 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 7: he's physical in the run game and so you know, 449 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 7: he's like all of us, got things to work on 450 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 7: as well. 451 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 13: Are you looking at Marcus? 452 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 14: Says the guy who would step in for Versul If 453 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 14: you can't go. 454 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 7: We'll see we'll see. 455 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: John. 456 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 15: After a couple of losses, you made a point to 457 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 15: point out that you lost the battle up front. 458 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: How do you win the bad luve front against Detroit? 459 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 7: Well, it's tough. They're a really good team. They do 460 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 7: a great job along the line of scrimmage. And I 461 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 7: know that's what some of the questions are coming around. 462 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 7: And look, we've got to get better. We've got to 463 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 7: do we've got to we've got to perform better. And 464 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 7: that starts in practice today. And it is a mentality. 465 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 7: It is an attitude. And if you want to play 466 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 7: good defense, that's where it starts. If you want to 467 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 7: be able to run the ball on offense, and we've 468 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 7: been able to do that, and we've been able to 469 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 7: stop the runt of times, and it's got to be 470 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 7: more consistent and uh and so there's there's not a 471 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 7: whole lot of shortcuts or ways around it. It's it's 472 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 7: got to be a mentality for us first and foremost 473 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 7: that we carry through the rest of the season. Here 474 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 7: for us shock. 475 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 16: Them up a game like that, I think that the 476 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 16: national fination would be there'd be some fire, especially for 477 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 16: the defective guys, some motivation to do better. How much 478 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 16: do you encourage that in light of the fact the 479 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 16: general philosophy for you had been trust the routines. 480 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 6: For your process. 481 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 7: That's trust the routine and trust the processes. Is certainly 482 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 7: one approach and certainly what we what I subscribe to. 483 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 7: And but within that is you better bring your heart, 484 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 7: you better bring your guts, you better put it on 485 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 7: the line, you better give max effort, you better, you 486 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 7: better put it on the line. And so that's never 487 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 7: been been two separate thought processes. So the process is 488 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 7: the process. It's the approach and the preparation. And then 489 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 7: the mindset has always been the mindset of this is 490 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 7: football and you got to bring it every day every week. 491 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 7: And and our players know that. So you know, we've 492 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 7: got we certainly have to improve in some areas and 493 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 7: that's one of them. In terms of the line of scrimmage. 494 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 6: A good reminder, I mean, no longer you can come 495 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 6: up with any latch. 496 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 3: But how much was this a good reminder, especially where 497 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 3: you are in the season and looking at the January. 498 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't. I mean, you know, in a previous location, 499 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 7: we were I think it was fourteen and h and 500 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 7: we took a loss late in the year, and then 501 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 7: we came back stronger. I don't think that. Being said, 502 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 7: I don't think every situation is the same, and I 503 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 7: don't think you can look at any situation and say, hey, 504 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 7: we'll be fine. That's that's not my personality, right. There's 505 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 7: a there's a there's a certain amount of reflection that 506 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 7: has to go into why we got the result we 507 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 7: got and what are we going to do to learn 508 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 7: from it? 509 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: Do you? 510 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 7: You got to make sure you don't overcorrect as well, 511 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 7: So we need to make sure that we learn from 512 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 7: it and reflect in the areas that we need to 513 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 7: reflect on, and then and and make those adjustments as 514 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 7: we move forward. That's that's part of the journey of 515 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 7: a season. And sometimes you pick up some scars that 516 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 7: you that you have to carry forward with you, and 517 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 7: they actually make you stronger, whether individually or collectively as 518 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 7: a team. 519 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: Along those lines, you said after the game that you 520 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: felt like the team lacked the urgency. 521 00:25:58,880 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 11: What do you what do you. 522 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: Trace back to? 523 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 7: I think just overall, you know, just I've seen them. 524 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 7: I've seen them consistently. This year been very urgent. You know, 525 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,239 Speaker 7: I think there's potentially things that that factor into that 526 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 7: whether it's coming off of the couple of games that 527 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 7: we had come off of and you know, perhaps maybe 528 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 7: losing just a little bit of the of the urgency, 529 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 7: like like I said, and you know that we were 530 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 7: going into a situation where that team was hungry too 531 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 7: and and in search of a playoff bid and so 532 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 7: which we were in that similar situation last year. So 533 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 7: it's all, it's all if we handle it the right way. 534 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 7: It's all a good reminder for us of how competitive 535 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 7: this dang league is week to week, and a lot 536 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 7: of teams take a lot of scars on their way 537 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 7: to having a darn good season, and we're having a 538 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 7: darn good season. So what's what has to be in 539 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 7: front of us this week is the opportunity that's in 540 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 7: front of us, and quite frankly, to challenge that and 541 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 7: front of us going against a twelve and one team 542 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 7: and at their place, it's going to be a heck 543 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 7: of an environment. 544 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 14: Is there any update on some of the injured reserve 545 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 14: guys who might be able to practice him. 546 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, So Balin will open his window and smoot as 547 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 7: well today and then Thailand will be in his third 548 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 7: week of that window. 549 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 11: Sean, you and Dan kind of seem like Dan Camle, 550 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 11: that is, you're kind of cut from the same cloth, 551 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 11: so to speak. Little it where you try to build 552 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 11: a team and your culture relationship with him and what 553 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 11: do you make from what he's done. 554 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 7: There from a far, Yeah, A ton of respect for coach. 555 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 7: I don't I don't really know him honestly that well, 556 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 7: like I know some of the other coaches, but you know, 557 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 7: from afar, certainly respect how he's doing things over there, 558 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 7: and I think there's probably no two situations are the same, 559 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 7: but the way he's gone in there and done some 560 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 7: good things, I think holistically there's some similarities maybe I've. 561 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 10: Seen in the way golf handles that offense. 562 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 7: What he's e Yeah, I mean he's he's in sync. 563 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 7: I mean he's in sync with their coordinator and they 564 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 7: do a great and you know, just very creative and 565 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 7: how they scheme things up, and you know it just 566 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 7: and a credit to credit to Dan and and coach 567 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 7: Johnson and the way that they've gotten and developed the 568 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 7: players that they've gotten over the years. Uh, you know, 569 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 7: Jared by one of them. 570 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 10: And you mentioned wanting to overcorrect on things even as 571 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 10: you assess what went wrong. 572 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: How do you do that? 573 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 7: How do you make sure you don't overcorrect? Uh? Well, again, 574 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 7: you reflect the necessary amount, but you also know what 575 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 7: you believe in and what's been working, and you target 576 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 7: the areas that that you feel need to be corrected 577 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 7: and you handle those with you know, good truthful conversations, 578 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 7: and and then you go to work, go to work again. 579 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 7: That's what we got to do, right all right? 580 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 4: That's head coach John McDermot addressing the media about an 581 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 4: hour ago. We got to take a break here, but 582 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 4: when we return, players are already off the practice field 583 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 4: after they're walked through and. 584 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: Set to join us in studio. 585 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 4: Defensive End a j Epinessa next here on One Bill's 586 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 4: Lot I presented by a co Lot of Health. 587 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 17: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 588 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: H Right, welcome back to One Bill's Live. 589 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 4: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and please to be 590 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: joined now by Bill's Defensive End aj Epanessa for this 591 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 4: tim Bits Time Out. Tim Bits Time Out presented by 592 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 4: of course Tim Horton's where we solicit the fans to 593 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 4: ask Bill's unique questions. We'll get to that question in 594 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 4: just a second, but we've got some of our own first, 595 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 4: So aj first and foremost. Coming out of that Rams game, 596 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 4: I'll just get I mean, I'm sure coaches kind of 597 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 4: laid this out to you guys as well. After the game, 598 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 4: he said, we didn't win at the line of scrimmage, 599 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 4: and that often leads to a trickle down effect of 600 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 4: problems both on offense and defense. In reviewing the film 601 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 4: kind of what was was your assessments, I'm like, hey, 602 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 4: we didn't win enough up front. 603 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 14: Yeah, no, definitely, you know, as a defense, and we're 604 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 14: any football team, it starts up front. You have to 605 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 14: win the line of scrimmage to be able to create 606 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 14: negative plays against their offense. And then for our offense, 607 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 14: we want them to win the line of scrimmage to 608 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 14: gain yards, you know. So that's where the game is 609 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 14: won and lost. And we just we didn't play up 610 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 14: to our standard last week. And so we know what 611 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 14: the standard is. We're all very we're pros, we're disciplined, 612 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 14: and so that's the idea is this week kind of 613 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 14: get back into our routine and bounce back and respond 614 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 14: this coming weekend. 615 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: Toroll Bernard after the game, he said, we he was like, well, 616 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: we just didn't play the way we practice, we didn't 617 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: execute the game plans. What was the vibe coming back 618 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: like on the flight when you guys start talking about 619 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: the game and you know, coughing up that many points 620 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: and the way those guys and those guys were lead, 621 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: I mean the two wide outs and they played. Yeah, 622 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: they so you get that going. But how did your 623 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: conversation go and the way you guys talk about it? 624 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:49,959 Speaker 15: Now? 625 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 14: We you know, we broke it down. We're we're all professionals. 626 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 14: You know we can we can hold each other accountable. 627 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 14: We can tell each other like we need, you need 628 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 14: to do this, I need to do this. It's all 629 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 14: about looking in the mirror first and seeing what I 630 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 14: could do better to help our defense win and be 631 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 14: more successful. And I think everybody's taking that step this 632 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 14: week is kind of looking at themselves see how they 633 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 14: can improve. And if all eleven guys do that, you 634 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 14: know we're gonna make some jumps this weekend and play 635 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 14: a little bit better. 636 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 4: I know I don't have to tell you this, but 637 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 4: Detroit uses a lot of the same offensive concepts as 638 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 4: the Rams. Do you know that bootleg passing game of 639 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 4: Stafford was a problem pretty much all afternoon? I imagine 640 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 4: I'm not looking for answers here, but I imagine you 641 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 4: guys are putting a plan together to at least better 642 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 4: handle that, knowing GoF is probably going to do some 643 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 4: of the same stuff. 644 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 14: Right, No, they are a similar offense. They do a 645 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 14: lot of motions pre snap stuff like that to try 646 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 14: to get our defense looking left, looking right and not 647 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 14: seeing what's right in front of them, And so a 648 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 14: lot of teams do that nowadays. Detroit's had a lot 649 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 14: of success with that, and they have some really good 650 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 14: players on their offense, and so that just means we 651 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 14: got to really hone in, stay dialed into what we see, 652 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 14: what our keys are, and not see all that eye 653 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 14: candy so that we can make our plays. 654 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: How do you guys handle the I mean, you're you're 655 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: in the hunt for the one seed. You know, you're 656 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: chasing cheese. How frustrating is to look up and see 657 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: them dink one off for. 658 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: The you know what I mean? 659 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you've won everything. They're blocking field goals to 660 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: save a win. They're doinking it off. 661 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 2: There the other team fumbling a snap at the end 662 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 2: of it. 663 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: Again, all that stuff's happening. How frustrating is it for 664 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: you guys. I mean, you're putting together a very nice season, 665 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: a ten to three record going into week fourteen. You 666 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: you've already clinched the division, you did it two weeks ago. 667 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: And to see those guys just. 668 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 4: Skating or getting lucky in the Capital l I think. 669 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: That's hard, is it to like, you know, keep your 670 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 1: keep your attitude up and say, you know, keep your 671 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: foot on the gas, knowing that you're gonna have to 672 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: earn it, and that doesn't seem like they have to. 673 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 14: Yeah, it's like that, you know. I always think about that, 674 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 14: and it's kind of like that every year. You know, 675 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 14: we play them tough during the season and we got 676 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 14: to you know, get over that extra hump in the postseason. 677 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 14: And that's something that I feel like I've been thinking 678 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 14: about personally, is that we know we're going to see 679 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 14: them again and how they play and what they do 680 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 14: and what it means to us as a team in 681 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 14: the city of Buffalo. So with that mindset, I just 682 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 14: try to think, you know, they're going to get it 683 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 14: how they get it. But whenever they see us again, 684 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 14: we just got to do it we did last time 685 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 14: and just get after them. 686 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then looking ahead. 687 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 4: I mean, you're obviously got your focus on Detroit here, 688 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 4: and you've been in that building probably a couple of 689 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 4: more times than most AFC teams, just by virtue of 690 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 4: that relocated game a couple of years ago, and you 691 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 4: had to play Cleveland there, and then you played Detroit 692 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 4: the very next week, and I know the teams are 693 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,239 Speaker 4: different than they were two years ago when you had 694 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 4: to play them. 695 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 2: Was that was Thanksgiving? 696 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 4: Right? 697 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 3: Yeah? 698 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 4: Thanksgiving? I mean that was a game that went right 699 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 4: down to the wire. Would you be terribly surprised if 700 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 4: it's kind of nip and tuck all over again. 701 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 12: Uh? 702 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 5: No. 703 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 14: They're definitely a good team. They have a lot of 704 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 14: great players, a lot of talented players from from the 705 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 14: offensive line to the de from head to toe. You know, 706 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 14: they're a very talented team, and they're well coached team, 707 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 14: and they play hard. So we know that come in 708 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 14: this game, it's going to be a street fight. It's 709 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 14: going to be a physical game, especially with their run 710 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 14: minded offense, like you said, play action boot and our 711 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 14: defense plays light in the box, and so we just 712 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 14: got to bring that physicality, that tenacity and just some 713 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 14: of that play a little angry. You know what I mean, 714 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 14: like just the physicality of the game is going to 715 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 14: be up and so we know that, and that's just 716 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 14: going to be the mindset this week and attack. 717 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: You know, you've been here for a handful of years 718 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: and you heard all the question marks about this team 719 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: coming into the season, about you know, all these new 720 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: faces on defense, all these new guys on offense. Has 721 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: it surprised you the season you guys have been able 722 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: to put together. It's got to be a little bit like, wow, 723 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: I didn't know. We're going to answer all these questions 724 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: like yes, you know, all the guys on your side 725 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: of the ball, all the guys on the offensive side 726 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: of the ball you didn't know about. And of course 727 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: then Josh, you know, turns into the Hulk. 728 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 7: You know last week's or. 729 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: Sixth stush, I mean, the dude's unbelievable. Has that You've 730 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: got to take some gratification in your ability to win 731 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 1: all these games despite what happened last week. But both 732 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: sides of the ball have like really compared to where 733 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: they were at the beginning of the season, have overachieved. 734 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, coach says it all the time, and 735 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 14: it's something I really believe in too, is that this 736 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 14: is a hard league to win it. You know, every 737 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 14: team has the capability of beating every team. They're all 738 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 14: NFL players, they're all professionals, and I'm gonna be honest, 739 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 14: it really doesn't surprise me with what we've done, just 740 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 14: because of the guys that we have in our building, 741 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 14: the guys. When we came in during OTAs and we 742 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 14: came in during camp, a lot of questions were brought 743 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 14: up about this and that. But as we've gone and 744 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 14: as I've seen people in person work through OTAs, through camp, 745 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 14: through this season, you know, it's just unbelievable to see 746 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 14: guys do what they do to prepare themselves, and it 747 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 14: makes you have so much more belief and trust in 748 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 14: them because of what they're doing off the field to 749 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 14: prepare themselves to be on the field, you know, And 750 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 14: so that gives me confidence. 751 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, to see and I think the most impressive thing 752 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 4: about the team this year, in addition to all the 753 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 4: ways in which you adapted to new faces in the 754 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 4: lineup and change to the roster, probably more change than 755 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 4: you've had over the last several years, is the fact 756 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 4: that you've had to rely on guys deeper on the 757 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 4: depth chart too. Through certain stretches of this season, guys 758 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 4: have contributed, like everybody on down the line. I mean 759 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 4: you can name like eight nine guys that were not 760 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 4: in starting roles at the beginning of the year had 761 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 4: to step in due to injuries over here, there, and everywhere. 762 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 4: Everybody's making contributions. I don't know what it is that's 763 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 4: different about this year, but it just seems like everyone 764 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 4: that has been called upon to step into a bigger 765 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 4: role and contribute has come through for your team. 766 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 2: I don't know that. 767 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 4: I've seen it to that degree before in the last 768 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 4: few years. 769 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 14: No, one hundred percent. It's to be in a backup 770 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 14: role and to try and prepare the same way as 771 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 14: a starter isn't always easy, you know, because sometimes you 772 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 14: get in there, sometimes you don't get in there, and 773 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 14: that could be discouraging for people when it comes to preparation. 774 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 14: You know, they think they can lax on their preparation 775 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 14: a little bit because you know, I'm not going to 776 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 14: play this week. But we have a lot of guys, 777 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 14: like I said, that are all about their preparation, all 778 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 14: about this this team, and where you know, they were 779 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 14: in a backup role, something happens in the game and 780 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 14: they're more than ready to get on the field. And 781 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 14: like you said, there's countless examples on this team, and 782 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 14: I think it's just because of the mindset that next 783 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 14: man in mindset and guys really buying into that. 784 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff. 785 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 4: It's time for our Timbits time out question and this 786 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 4: one comes from Sarah this week, and she asks what 787 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 4: have you learned about yourself as a player having to 788 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 4: adjust to different playing weights. This was more of a 789 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,240 Speaker 4: story early in your career. You were up, you were down. 790 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 4: They were trying to find the sweet spot with you. 791 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 2: What was that like? 792 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 14: It was? 793 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 5: It was a little crazy at first, for sure. 794 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 14: You know, I came out of Iowa two hundred and 795 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 14: almost eighty five pounds, got to hear, dropped to about 796 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 14: two fifty two fifty five and currently sitting at about 797 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 14: two fifty seven, close to two sixty. And that's what 798 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,839 Speaker 14: we've kind of found is my sweet spot. But it 799 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 14: was it was a challenge at first, just because getting 800 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 14: to school, I was always a weight gang guy. I 801 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 14: got there probably two fifty two fifty five, had to 802 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 14: put on weight to be too eighty and then go 803 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 14: to dropping weight it was a whole different world for me, 804 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 14: and so it was hard at first. Definitely my first 805 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 14: three years. I mean that's a long time. It was 806 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 14: me really just kind of fluctuating, getting heavy, getting low. 807 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 14: They're like, Agy, you're a little too heavy this week. Oh, age, 808 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 14: you are a little too light. And you know that's 809 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 14: a mental strain in itself to have to. 810 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 2: Try you're trying to prepare for games. Yeah, you're trying 811 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,760 Speaker 2: to prepare for games, and it's like, oh, it's my weight. 812 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,280 Speaker 14: Right, Yeah, that's. 813 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 2: You don't want anything else to have to focus. 814 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 14: On, right exct Yes, one hundred percent, and that it 815 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 14: was a little bit of a burden on me, But 816 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,439 Speaker 14: it was all about more so routine, you know, getting 817 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 14: into a routine of eating at the same times, just 818 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 14: making sure I'm eating the meals, make sure I get 819 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 14: enough calories, because as the season drags on, you know, 820 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 14: things start to get a little more difficult. You start 821 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 14: to not feel the sensation of hunger. It's cold outside, 822 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 14: you know, and so some things like that, and I 823 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 14: just started to weight would just start to kind of 824 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 14: flow off me, and I'd get lighter and lighter as 825 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 14: the season goes not. 826 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 4: To mention the fact that and a lot of people 827 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 4: forget this, Like you're the COVID class coming in, and 828 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 4: I mean, that's a hard way to start a professional career, 829 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 4: you know, isolation. Things are done differently than they had 830 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 4: been done because of spacing and all of that stuff 831 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 4: that happened. How much do you feel that provides That's 832 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 4: not just a hurdle. That's a high hurdle for a 833 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 4: rookie to clear when they're moving to the highest level 834 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 4: of competitive football. 835 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 2: Like, how did you feel you? 836 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 4: I mean, you weren't alone, you had your draft class 837 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 4: with you, but how did you feel you kind of 838 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 4: navigated that first year. I think a lot of people 839 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 4: forget about the challenges for guys like you. 840 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 14: Yeah, it was.

You're 845 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 14: good to go. Come in the building. Meals meeting rooms 846 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 14: weren't the same. We had kind of just heat up 847 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 14: lunches out there, so the food that we were offered 848 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 14: isn't as the same as it is now. But everything 849 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 14: in town was closed, you know, and so all my 850 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 14: only food options were here or what I would cook 851 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 14: at home.

But 855 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 14: you know, the access to food was a lot different 856 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 14: back then too, and then just the stress of having that, 857 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 14: you know, not being able to see people outside the 858 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 14: facility because of the rules and and all those different 859 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 14: things that piled up, like you said, to make it 860 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 14: more difficult. 861 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 3: It was. 862 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 14: It was definitely a hard transition. 863 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 4: We're glad to see that you came through it a okay, 864 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 4: and you know you're contributing now on a weekly basis, 865 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 4: So I'm glad it all worked out. 866 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 2: In the end here because you know, that was a 867 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 2: hill to climb for sure.

You don't don't change anything after wins. Obviously 880 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 18: we're trying to make corrections after wins as well, and 881 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 18: that's all we're trying to do, which was trying to 882 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 18: stick to what we know, learn from what happened, and 883 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 18: move on. 884 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 10: There's it seems like Kean's trending well. Obviously he's missed 885 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 10: some time. What's it like, especially with a rookie, of 886 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 10: trying to kind of rebuild that chemistry with a guy 887 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 10: who's missed some time but now could be back in 888 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 10: the lineup this week. 889 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 18: You know, I wouldn't say there's a whole lot to rebuild. Uh, 890 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 18: A lot of work in training camp in the off 891 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 18: season getting to do that. Going back to my rookie season, 892 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 18: you know, I got hurt. I missed a few games, 893 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 18: and I felt like sometimes that rookie wall, which is 894 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 18: real when when you miss time and you come back, 895 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 18: you're just so rejuvenated and you know, could like silver lining. 896 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,919 Speaker 18: It could be a good thing, right where he got 897 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 18: to sit back and learn and watch Coop and actually 898 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 18: get his body right and be fresh going into this 899 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 18: final stretch. So hopefully we'll get him back on that 900 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 18: field soon and help us out. 901 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 12: Obviously, this is a wise team that's won a lot 902 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,760 Speaker 12: of games. What stays out to you as the biggest 903 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 12: challenge when watching. 904 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 18: Their defense, They are a high effort as they come 905 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,240 Speaker 18: obviously one of the top scoring defenses in the league. 906 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 18: You know, we're not playing their offense on our side 907 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 18: of the ball, but they do such a good job 908 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 18: of there holding on the football and scoring points. It's 909 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 18: a really, really well coached team, you know, and they've 910 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 18: battled with a lot of injuries throughout the season on 911 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 18: that defensive side, and you wouldn't know why by watching 912 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 18: the film, because again they know the rules, they attack 913 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 18: each and every play, and we got to be ready 914 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 18: for him for a. 915 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 8: Pretty progressive team, special with some certain sayss like that 916 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 8: that the Lions seem to almost be like a notch 917 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 8: more than everybody else. 918 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 19: Have you ever watching them? 919 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 8: Are there times even your surprise that they're they're just 920 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 8: going for it all the time? 921 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 7: It seems like when they're. 922 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 8: In those fourth town situations or what do you think 923 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 8: when you watch them play in that way? 924 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 18: Yeah, really aggressive team and I think that's who why 925 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 18: they are who they are or why? Yeah, does that 926 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 18: make sense? Why they are who they are? And it 927 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 18: starts with a coach that came in there a few 928 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 18: years ago with not a great team, and he's done 929 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 18: a phenomenal job of getting those guys uh primed and 930 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 18: prepped and ready to go each Sunday, Monday, and Thursday. 931 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 18: And they're still playing with chips on their shoulder and 932 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 18: you can see that when they play. And got a 933 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 18: lot of respect for their team and that coach in general. 934 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 14: Their defensive coordinator, he's he's a pretty a lot of 935 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 14: blitz man coverage. 936 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 15: Do you see that from that? 937 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean they do play a lot of man coverage, 938 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 18: you know, based on who they're playing. Obviously it's a 939 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 18: little higher than some And then again, yeah, they they've 940 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 18: been able to affect the quarterback and again I know 941 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 18: that they've been dealing with injuries, but the way that 942 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 18: they've been able to you know, their interior d linemen 943 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 18: are really really good, some of the best in the 944 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 18: game tough to run against. When you can't run the 945 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,240 Speaker 18: ball successfully, it's it makes your offense that much tougher 946 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 18: to to move the ball. So, uh, they're they're doing 947 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 18: a great job, and hats off to those guys. 948 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 3: Sean got a little fighter up today request colleges place, 949 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 3: almost reminding the team by saying, you better bring your heart, 950 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 3: you'd better bring your guts, you better bring better put alive. 951 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 5: What does that message do to the team and how 952 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 5: do you accept that? 953 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 7: Yeah? 954 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 18: Uh, forces us to know that we got to be better, 955 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 18: and we know that internally. We've had these discussions and 956 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 18: these talks, and you know we're sitting at ten and three. 957 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 18: We're not gonna overreact to anything that's been done. Obviously, 958 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 18: we want to get better. We want to win every 959 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 18: single game. 960 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 5: That we play. 961 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 18: But I think it was a case of you saw 962 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 18: a team that's fighting for their lives and to try 963 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 18: to make the playoffs in the Los Angeles Rams, and 964 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 18: they came out ready to play, and maybe we didn't 965 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 18: have that type of urgency that we should have each 966 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,760 Speaker 18: and every single game. So again, it starts with starts 967 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,359 Speaker 18: with me and the leaders on this team, and start 968 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 18: in practice making sure that we have that type of 969 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 18: competitive edge and that's what we're playing with. 970 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,760 Speaker 1: So that what you hope your respecting. 971 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 3: I mean the response everybody redols is that was not 972 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 3: gill standard last week, and so. 973 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 2: What do you expect that response to be and how 974 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 2: much we're a minder? 975 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 3: Was something like that as you said that maybe they 976 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 3: were hungrier because of fighting critics. 977 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 18: Yeah, again, just puts us back into the one to 978 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 18: O mindset. What can we do to prepare and what's 979 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 18: going to help us execute on Sunday against a really 980 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 18: good team. So that's all we're trying to focus on. 981 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 15: The wrong ball score dictated a little overit than that 982 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 15: against the Rams. But when you looked at the Lions 983 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 15: offense and how they're to stay on the field off court, 984 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 15: is to establish the wrong quarters start foers. 985 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean it's an offense that's got to keep 986 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 18: up with and again you're gonna have to score points 987 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 18: on the offensive side of the ball. It's we understand that, 988 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,759 Speaker 18: we know that, but again it's it's we're just trying 989 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 18: to go on to know and whatever that maybe if 990 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 18: it's three nothing, it's three nothing. If it's you know, 991 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 18: forty two to forty three, and we we got to 992 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 18: find a way to score one more point than those guys. 993 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 12: It's some time removed from the Rams game.

We've golfed 1050 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 18: a few times together. Very I think it kind of 1051 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,800 Speaker 18: displays who he has on the field too. He's just 1052 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 18: very calm and cool, very collective when he plays. He's 1053 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 18: been making some unbelievable plays throughout the season and he's 1054 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 18: a huge reason why they are where they are right now. 1055 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 18: And got a lot of respect for him and his 1056 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,959 Speaker 18: game and him off the field as well.

You may also 1071 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 4: remember him as a big old offensive tackle for eighteen seasons. 1072 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 4: Guy's got as many Pro Bowls as the guy to 1073 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 4: my left. I'm sitting between two guys that have fourteen 1074 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,759 Speaker 4: Pro Bowls on their NFL resumes. It's Lomas Brown joining 1075 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 4: us here on the show. And I guess, Lomas, we 1076 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 4: got to start here. You know, the the injuries have 1077 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,240 Speaker 4: been getting lengthy for your crew, but it hasn't slowed 1078 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 4: them down in posting. W's why has this Lions squad 1079 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 4: remained rezilent to continue to post victories despite being supremely 1080 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 4: shorthanded on the defensive side of the ball. 1081 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,400 Speaker 20: Yeah, Chris, I think it just comes down to what 1082 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 20: Dan Campbell, what this organization has been preaching the whole time, 1083 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,879 Speaker 20: which is next man up. They have that next man 1084 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 20: up mentality and it seems to be working. I mean, 1085 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,800 Speaker 20: every guy that's had to fill in has come in 1086 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 20: and did an adequate job of filling in for some 1087 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,800 Speaker 20: great players that we lost. You start off with Aiden Hutchison, 1088 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,440 Speaker 20: who we lost weeks ago, and the list just. 1089 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,440 Speaker 5: Continues to get longer and longer. 1090 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 20: So hopefully we're at the point where we could start 1091 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,399 Speaker 20: getting some guys back healthy. But I just think it's 1092 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 20: a testimony to how this team has built, how they 1093 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 20: wanted the type of character guys that they won't on 1094 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,759 Speaker 20: this team, and the guys that have been doing the 1095 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 20: phenomenal job of stepping up when they've had to step 1096 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 20: up and perform. 1097 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,799 Speaker 1: Is Can you even quantify the difference Dan Campbell has 1098 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: made for that franchise, Steve. 1099 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 20: You can't, You really can't. I mean, the guy can 1100 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 20: walk on water around him. I mean, he could do 1101 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,280 Speaker 20: anything he wants to do. In the state of Michigan. 1102 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 20: It's just been unbelievable how he's just transformed, not only 1103 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 20: like I say, a team, the culture of the team, 1104 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 20: but he's pretty much transferred from this whole state where 1105 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 20: everybody the word that comes out of everybody's mouthful when 1106 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,320 Speaker 20: you start talking about Detroit's grit. Everybody talks about the 1107 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 20: grid of this team, the grid of this city, the 1108 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,880 Speaker 20: grid of the people that are here. And Dan Campbell 1109 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 20: he gets, you know, all the praise for that because 1110 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 20: he was the one that came in. He's the one 1111 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 20: that helped insteal it and this part of our fabric 1112 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 20: around here now. 1113 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 4: And I gotta imagine being a former offensive tackle of yourself, 1114 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 4: you're a big fan of how physical this team plays, 1115 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,800 Speaker 4: not only on the offensive side of the ball, but 1116 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 4: the defensive side is well, what here's the question, though. 1117 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 4: You know these guys play seventeen games in the regular 1118 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 4: season now, not sixteen extra game on the body, and 1119 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 4: you know that's a demanding style to play. They do 1120 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 4: it well, don't get me wrong, but do you think 1121 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,959 Speaker 4: there is ever even a remote concern of the wear 1122 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 4: and tear that this style of play puts on the roster? 1123 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 20: You know, Cherson, I think one of the advantages that 1124 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 20: we have and we're not as young as Green Bay. 1125 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 5: They're like one of the youngest team in the league, 1126 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 5: but we're right there. 1127 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 20: And I just think when you have a lot of 1128 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,840 Speaker 20: young guys on your team, and Steve knows that you 1129 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 20: could push these guys a little harder. 1130 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 5: These guys recover a little faster. 1131 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 20: You know, these guys can get over injuries a little 1132 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,360 Speaker 20: bit better than we could in our advanced age. So 1133 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,440 Speaker 20: I don't think Dan Campbell has a problem with pushing 1134 00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,759 Speaker 20: these guys because you could see that some of the 1135 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 20: games that we're in our that we've won and we're 1136 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 20: just dominating the games. Our starters are still playing the 1137 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 20: third and fourth quarter even though the game is out 1138 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 20: of the reach. So no, I don't think it's any 1139 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 20: fear in that. I think what you have to do 1140 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,919 Speaker 20: right now, like I say, when you have a young team, 1141 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,359 Speaker 20: you have to push that gas pedal as hard as 1142 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 20: you can. And that's what we're doing right now, trying 1143 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 20: to get to our first ever Super Bowl. 1144 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: What teams have given Detroit problems? I know they're twelve 1145 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,839 Speaker 1: and one, so nobody's really gotten the best of them 1146 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: all the way back, Yeah, go all the way back 1147 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,399 Speaker 1: to week two or week three. What kind of teams 1148 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 1: are giving Detroit problems? Where have they struggled if at all? 1149 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 20: Well, I mean the thing that you have to continuously 1150 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 20: look at for us is going to be our pass rush. 1151 00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:47,319 Speaker 5: I mean that's been. 1152 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 20: To me, that's been the most glaring point for us 1153 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,319 Speaker 20: right now since Aiden Hutchinson has been out, is where 1154 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 20: are we going to get that consistent pass rush from. 1155 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 20: I think Zadarius Smith is the the great job since 1156 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 20: he's been here. But Steve, he's only one guy. There's 1157 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,879 Speaker 20: only so much you can do. And as you know, offensively, man, 1158 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 20: we could slide the line to him, I could have 1159 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,359 Speaker 20: a backstay and help chip on him. I could put 1160 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 20: the tight end lined up on his side. So it's 1161 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 20: a lot of things you could do to kind of 1162 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 20: neutralize one person. That's why the rest of these guys 1163 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 20: when they get they one on one matchups, they have 1164 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 20: to step up and be willing and be able to 1165 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 20: give us the rush that we need. 1166 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 5: But to me, that's gonna be our. 1167 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 20: Glare area if we get a quarterback that can improvise 1168 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 20: and uh and by time, that's gonna hurt us. 1169 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1170 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 4: Flipping it over to the other side. Gobs had a 1171 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,240 Speaker 4: great season. I think he leads the NFC in passer rating. 1172 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 4: I think he's had nine games with one hundred passer 1173 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 4: rating or more. I mean, he's been great for you guys. 1174 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,359 Speaker 4: This is a weird number that I saw, and I'm 1175 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 4: hoping you can lend some context to it because it 1176 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 4: may just be an anomaly. But he's got ten interceptions 1177 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 4: this season and all of them have come against zone coverage. 1178 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,320 Speaker 4: Has it been just a bugaboo for him or is 1179 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:09,240 Speaker 4: it just an anomaly? 1180 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 2: What do you chalk it up to? 1181 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 5: Man, that's a great question. 1182 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,359 Speaker 20: I'm thinking this up more of anomaly than I think, 1183 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 20: because Jared has been very consistent. If you look at 1184 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 20: this season, think about it, it was just really the 1185 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 20: one game where he had the five I iNTS and 1186 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 20: that's a lot of I t's that have in the game. 1187 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 20: But if you look at his body of work, he's 1188 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 20: been playing at the MVP level this whole year. I mean, 1189 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,319 Speaker 20: you think about the completion percentages that he's putting up, 1190 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 20: you think about the way this offensive points that this 1191 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 20: offense is scoring and the efficiency that this offensive scoring, 1192 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,880 Speaker 20: and you know, I know he gets kind of downgraded 1193 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,000 Speaker 20: because the first thing a lot of people say is, oh, 1194 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 20: We'll look at all the talent around him, look at 1195 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 20: the offensive line that he has around him, the running 1196 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:02,080 Speaker 20: backs to receivers. Yet and still someone still has to 1197 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 20: get the ball to all these great weapons. That he 1198 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 20: has around him, and he's been doing the marvelous job 1199 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,920 Speaker 20: of doing that all year long. So I think he 1200 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 20: should be high in the MVP race, and then the 1201 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 20: talks about it, and I actually think he deserves more credit, 1202 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 20: more talk, more attention than he's actually getting this year. 1203 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 1: Is there a team in the NFC side of the 1204 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 1: bracket that may be like in the like a Philly 1205 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: team or a Minnesota team that you've got coming up 1206 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 1: on your schedule at the end of the year, any 1207 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 1: of these teams match up better than the other. 1208 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 20: Yeah, everybody keeps saying Philly, Philly, Philly. You know, I'm 1209 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,640 Speaker 20: not really worried about Philly, and that may that may 1210 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 20: be dumb on my part, but I just think, to me, 1211 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 20: it'll be a team like a Minnesota team. I think 1212 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 20: like a green Bay team that, even though we've beaten 1213 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 20: them twice this year, a green Bay team that knows 1214 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 20: you so well, that knows all your little intricacies and 1215 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 20: you know what you like to do. I think those 1216 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 20: teams they kind of give me a little bit more problems, 1217 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 20: or I get a little bit more anxious about those 1218 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 20: teams if we were to face one of them in 1219 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 20: the playoffs more so than the Philly or Seattle or 1220 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 20: Tampa team. 1221 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 4: Lomas knowing that Dan Campbell has already established himself as 1222 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 4: the go for it guy on fourth down almost with 1223 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 4: almost without exception, in just about every circumstance. Do you 1224 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 4: feel it has gotten to a point where opposing defensive 1225 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 4: coordinators are playing third down differently at all, knowing in 1226 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 4: all likelihood Detroit's offense is staying on the field for 1227 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 4: fourth down. 1228 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 20: So after this last game, I made, guys, I made 1229 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 20: a declaration that all my commenting now on the radio, 1230 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,840 Speaker 20: it'll be for four downs, four downs. It could be 1231 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,920 Speaker 20: fourth and fifteen, and I'm gonna say he's going for 1232 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 20: it or we're going for it. 1233 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 5: Because I was I was one of those guys, Steve, 1234 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 5: I'm old school. 1235 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 20: I was one of those guys and when it was 1236 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 20: like no, no, no, oh, great play when it happened. 1237 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 5: But I'm one of those guys. 1238 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 20: Man, I'm always a guy that want to take points 1239 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 20: when the points are there. But man, I got to 1240 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,920 Speaker 20: get into mindset that that's not in his d n A, 1241 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 20: that's not Dan Campbell's way. 1242 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 5: His way is to go for it. 1243 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 20: So, like I said, from now when I'm doing my 1244 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:35,800 Speaker 20: comment my commenting on radio. I'm commenting like it's a 1245 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,600 Speaker 20: four down like every series, we're going forward on fourth down, 1246 00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 20: because that's what we seem to do anyway. 1247 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 4: But do you think do you think opposing defenses and 1248 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,960 Speaker 4: coordinators are calling it a little different on third down 1249 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:48,760 Speaker 4: against these guys? 1250 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,480 Speaker 20: Absolutely, because we called it different on third down, So 1251 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:53,320 Speaker 20: they have to. 1252 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 5: I mean again, I know they are prepared for this. 1253 00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,480 Speaker 5: Like I said, this is in this DNA. 1254 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 20: It's talked about when they talk about game planning or 1255 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 20: when them coaches get together and they have them coaches 1256 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 20: mean the course they're talking about, Look, this guy plays 1257 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 20: at four down, So I don't think the distance down. 1258 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 20: The distance really mathers with Dan Campbell, you know, from 1259 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,919 Speaker 20: a certain standpoint. So, yes, they have the game plan 1260 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,320 Speaker 20: for a god that's going that's going to operate with 1261 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 20: all four of his down. 1262 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 1: How big a moment was it when you you fourth 1263 01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: and whatever it was against against Green Bay and it's 1264 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 1: a tie game and he's you, you got a chance 1265 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 1: to go and he just hands it off. 1266 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna go for it when nobody, I 1267 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,360 Speaker 2: mean nobody else would. 1268 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 20: Have I'm telling Steve, I'm telling you I was no, no, no, no, 1269 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 20: great play, I'm telling you, man, it was just like 1270 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,920 Speaker 20: And then Jared made the even more interesting when he 1271 01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 20: tripped trying to give him the ball. 1272 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 5: So right again, man, And that's just stands D and A. 1273 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 5: It's been and put it this way. 1274 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 20: Someone asked me that question. They said, well, is he 1275 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 20: that way because the defense is built? 1276 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 18: I said no. 1277 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,840 Speaker 20: And when our defense stumped, when we won three games, 1278 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 20: he was still. 1279 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 5: Going forward like that. So that's just him and that's 1280 01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 5: how he coaches. 1281 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 4: And then I know that you know Detroit's defense has 1282 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 4: had some deficiencies over the last couple of years, even 1283 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,439 Speaker 4: when they were a twelve win team last year. Where 1284 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 4: do you think Aaron Glenn has shored things up best 1285 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 4: with his defensive unit this year, maybe as opposed to 1286 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:37,680 Speaker 4: last year in the year before when there were some 1287 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 4: chinks in the armor. 1288 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 20: I think the biggest thing now is that you don't 1289 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 20: know where the blitzes are coming from. I think we 1290 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 20: do such a better job of disguising our blitzes or 1291 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:54,080 Speaker 20: when we run delayed blitzes, or we run games stumps 1292 01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 20: up front meaning e ts or tes. I think we 1293 01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 20: do such an exceptional job with that, and I think 1294 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 20: we do an exceptional job as disguising and timing it up. 1295 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 20: And I think that's been a lot of success that 1296 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 20: we've had this year so far. And the other success 1297 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 20: I think that we've had is that our linebackers this year, 1298 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 20: even when Alexandlonly and Malcolm Rodriguez, even Derek Barnes, when 1299 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:24,840 Speaker 20: those guys were healthy, we were playing downhill and we 1300 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 20: were attacking gaps, and I think you have to be 1301 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 20: able to do that, especially when you run this not 1302 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 20: wide nine technique which we run. 1303 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,400 Speaker 5: So I think those were the biggest things. 1304 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 20: Our linebackers being more aggressive in the run game and 1305 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,919 Speaker 20: covering Betther and I think us just disguise and where 1306 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 20: the blitz, where the blitz look is, and where the 1307 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 20: blitz is coming from has helped our defense and tremendous amount. 1308 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, both those coordinators have been reported and certainly for 1309 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:55,440 Speaker 1: good reason to be hot head coaching candidates, particularly Ben Johnson, 1310 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,800 Speaker 1: because of the atmosphere were around the offense. It's kind 1311 01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 1: of an offensive league these days, and I know Ben 1312 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: Johnson has been high on the list for a couple 1313 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:03,600 Speaker 1: of years. 1314 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 13: Now. 1315 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:09,520 Speaker 1: What is the reason he has not taken because I 1316 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,560 Speaker 1: heard he's turned down some jobs. Why what's he looking for? 1317 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think Steve, I think one he knows he 1318 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 20: has a great situation here. Think about what he has here. 1319 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 20: You have one of the top offensive lines here. You 1320 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 20: got two wonderful backs here. You got a quarterback that's 1321 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 20: in the MVP race. You got a receiver that's one 1322 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,880 Speaker 20: of the top receivers in this league, tight end. 1323 01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:33,280 Speaker 5: That's that. 1324 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,600 Speaker 20: You got everything that you need here offensively, I know 1325 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 20: Dan Campbell just you know, lets him have the rings 1326 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 20: to the offense, so Ben can be as creative as 1327 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 20: he wants to be. 1328 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,160 Speaker 5: So you have a great situation here. 1329 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 7: I know the. 1330 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 20: Owner, Chilli hamp Ford, is gonna pay him as much 1331 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 20: as she can to keep him here. So money, I 1332 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,560 Speaker 20: don't think money's gonna be an issue. So, you know, again, 1333 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 20: to see someone being comfortable in their situation right now 1334 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,840 Speaker 20: and just waiting for the right situation. And I don't 1335 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 20: think he thought it was the right situation last year 1336 01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,080 Speaker 20: to either interview for that Washington Commander's job or take 1337 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,480 Speaker 20: any other job next year. So it might be different 1338 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 20: this year coming up, but I know next last year, 1339 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,479 Speaker 20: I think their thing is to try to get this team, 1340 01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 20: this organization to a super Bowl. 1341 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 4: Lomas, thanks as always for the time. Look forward to 1342 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 4: seeing you up there this weekend. 1343 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: Appreciate it absolutely anytime, guys, Thank you. 1344 01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:36,439 Speaker 5: MS. 1345 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 4: All right, that's Lomas Brown joining US Lions radio color analyst, 1346 01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 4: kind of giving us the lay of the land up 1347 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,160 Speaker 4: there in Detroit with some of the things that have 1348 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 4: worked exceptionally well for them this season. I mean, I 1349 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,480 Speaker 4: guess it's an anomaly, right, Like all of his interceptions 1350 01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,280 Speaker 4: have come against zone coverage. I mean, the Bills plays 1351 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 4: on coverage, you know, more than three quarters at the time, 1352 01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 4: So you would say, ooh, that's a better matchup for 1353 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,120 Speaker 4: Buffalo's defense than the Rams defense last and then the 1354 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 4: Rams offense last week, which excels against man cover. 1355 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's it's hard to make or 1356 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: a blank statement like that, but yeah, certainly, I mean 1357 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 1: that it seems to be good. But like Lomas said, 1358 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 1: and the thing that got me interested that he thinks 1359 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 1: they struggle against quarterbacks that extend plays. 1360 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 2: We got one of those. 1361 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 1: We got we happen to have one of those. 1362 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty good one. 1363 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see. And that's and let's face it, 1364 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 1: the last few matchups with Detroit, the one on Thanksgiving, 1365 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:32,320 Speaker 1: most notably, they're winning the game or it's a tie game, 1366 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 1: I think, or I can't remember exactly the situation, but 1367 01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 1: you know, first play out of the guy with forty 1368 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: three seconds ago, Josh, it's a twenty six yard pass 1369 01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 1: right over the middle to Diggs and the Bills, and 1370 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 1: Bills are like boom field goal range right now, and 1371 01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 1: they win that game because of the quarterback. So yeah, 1372 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 1: it's interesting matchup this weekend. 1373 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 4: We need to remind you that we're taking phone calls 1374 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 4: on the foot Fotball Relationship Hotline, presented by Pepsi, the 1375 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 4: official soft drink of the Buffalo Bills.

And 1386 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 4: first one comes from Andrew says. I wanted to say 1387 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 4: thank you guys for your advice back in September when 1388 01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 4: I asked you how do I control my anxiety so 1389 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 4: my wife does not divorce me during football games. I 1390 01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 4: took your advice by writing down what to expect, and 1391 01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 4: so far it is paid off. And my wife wanted 1392 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 4: me to thank you guys as well. Yeah, anytime we 1393 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,560 Speaker 4: can turn a raving football lunatic into a composed human being, 1394 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 4: that's a victory not only for us but for your 1395 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 4: significant other. So I'm glad your wife is happy with 1396 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 4: the results. Keep up the good work. Andrew greg says, 1397 01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:21,840 Speaker 4: I watched Sunday's amazing game. However, I invited my sweet 1398 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 4: daughter to meet me at a sports bar. She spoke 1399 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 4: to me non stop without taking a breath about her 1400 01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 4: boyfriend and never turned to watch the game. I missed 1401 01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 4: thirty percent of the game myself, What do I do 1402 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:41,400 Speaker 4: to be polite next time? She is ultra sensitive. It's 1403 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:42,200 Speaker 4: a tough one here. 1404 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, here's my advice. Focus on your daughter. That's you'll 1405 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 1: get more long term benefit out of that than you 1406 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 1: will about seeing the rest of the thirty percent of 1407 01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 1: the game you miss of the Bills and focus on her. 1408 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:06,080 Speaker 1: She'll get it. She'll get it, and she'll appreciate you more. 1409 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:11,360 Speaker 4: I would also I would suggest this, I'm I'm I'm 1410 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,919 Speaker 4: going to assume here that she decided to come watch 1411 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,840 Speaker 4: the game with you at the sports bar. I think 1412 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:25,639 Speaker 4: if if you want a more effective time spent together, 1413 01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,040 Speaker 4: I think you may have to take the football out 1414 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 4: of it. And the way you do that is you 1415 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,800 Speaker 4: come to her and say what would you like to do? 1416 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 4: Knowing full well you could be sacrificing watching a game 1417 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,160 Speaker 4: in the process. But I think what you do, again, 1418 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 4: as Steve and I always say, plan ahead, have an 1419 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 4: advanced plan, and go to her and say, hey, are 1420 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,840 Speaker 4: you doing anything Saturday afternoon? 1421 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 2: No, I'm not, what would you like to do? You've 1422 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 2: already presented a day. 1423 01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:59,800 Speaker 4: In most cases except at the end of the season 1424 01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 4: where there isn't a Bill's game, and then she has 1425 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 4: the opportunity to pick something to do. That's the sacrifice 1426 01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 4: you make. That way, you're doing something with her that 1427 01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:16,400 Speaker 4: she enjoys and there's nothing for you to lose. 1428 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 2: In that instance, you're immersed in what she enjoys. 1429 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,840 Speaker 4: And then you've got your Sunday free to watch your 1430 01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,559 Speaker 4: game uninterrupted. Right, So you may have to separate football 1431 01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:30,200 Speaker 4: from time with your daughter if you want to maximize both. 1432 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: That's right. But if you ever get caught up in that, yeah, 1433 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: she should come first, family first. But Brownie's right if 1434 01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,360 Speaker 1: she's If she is like that, and now she's set 1435 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,920 Speaker 1: a precedent for being like that, you've got to avoid that. Yeah, 1436 01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,479 Speaker 1: put spend some time where she can talk to you 1437 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 1: about her boyfriend somewhere else on. 1438 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,519 Speaker 4: Another day, on another day. That's how you do it. 1439 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,240 Speaker 4: And again, plan in advance. Don't just come up with 1440 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,960 Speaker 4: it the day before. Plant it advance, Find a date 1441 01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,439 Speaker 4: that works on your calendar. Then propose that date to 1442 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 4: her and ask her what she would like to do. 1443 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 4: That way, the ball is in her court to choose 1444 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 4: the activity or whatever it is. And if by some 1445 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,719 Speaker 4: happenstance she says, why don't we just watch the game, 1446 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 4: just say, well, you know, I'd rather spend more quality 1447 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,160 Speaker 4: time with you, not two of us sitting next to 1448 01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:25,719 Speaker 4: each other staring at a TV. I want more quality 1449 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 4: time that's how you kind of pitch it, and hopefully 1450 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:29,040 Speaker 4: you get her to pivot. 1451 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,440 Speaker 1: Else you tell her you don't want to be distracted 1452 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:32,320 Speaker 1: by the game. 1453 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:40,599 Speaker 4: Exactly Bill's wza. I'm guessing that's Bill's wizza. I missed 1454 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,840 Speaker 4: most of last week's game due to a wedding who 1455 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 4: plans their wedding on a Sunday during football season. I 1456 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 4: have to answer your question, non football fans. 1457 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:51,320 Speaker 1: It happens. 1458 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 2: It does happen. 1459 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,600 Speaker 1: It happens, and. 1460 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 2: There are ways around that. 1461 01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 4: You have the gap usually between the ceremony and the reception, 1462 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:05,800 Speaker 4: and so that's your window of time to catch up 1463 01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,600 Speaker 4: on your football. If there is a game that you 1464 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 4: absolutely cannot miss, that is when you tag team it 1465 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 4: with a friend and or significant other where maybe you 1466 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:22,599 Speaker 4: take shifts to quietly exit the reception and catch ten 1467 01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 4: minutes of the game either at the reception hall bar 1468 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,479 Speaker 4: or on your phone out in the parking lot to 1469 01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 4: get the proper updates, and then you report back and 1470 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 4: someone else steps out, and that way you're still present. 1471 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,120 Speaker 4: You're not necessarily being rude because you're not taking extended 1472 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,240 Speaker 4: time away from the party, and you can still stay 1473 01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:45,800 Speaker 4: on top on what's going on. 1474 01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 1: He doesn't say whether he was a friend of the bride, 1475 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 1: friend of the groom, Yeah, groomsman, brother of the groom, 1476 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,719 Speaker 1: brother of the bride, whatever part of the wedding party 1477 01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,439 Speaker 1: doesn't make that clear. So there's a lot of levels 1478 01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 1: of what would be acceptable in that situation to break 1479 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,639 Speaker 1: away fro him and how long. Uh, if you're the groom, 1480 01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 1: you messed up when you plan the wedding.

We're in it. 1611 01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:32,000 Speaker 5: Let's go. 1612 01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:35,600 Speaker 1: You don't get into these games unless you're ready for it, 1613 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:36,600 Speaker 1: unless you earn it. 1614 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 5: Act like it. 1615 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,599 Speaker 1: They showed up like they missed the flight to LA 1616 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,000 Speaker 1: I would anticipate that not to be the case. Plus, 1617 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:49,200 Speaker 1: this venue should be pretty familiar with a lot of 1618 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:53,160 Speaker 1: the guys on this squad. They've played in this building 1619 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:58,439 Speaker 1: a bunch and that'll help indoors the whole thing. Short flight, 1620 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 1: same time time zone. Yeah, this is a game where 1621 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:09,120 Speaker 1: you turn up your You turn it up internally, certainly, 1622 01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:10,800 Speaker 1: you go through your routine, you do all that, and 1623 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:15,639 Speaker 1: every game is important and I get all that. There's 1624 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:16,760 Speaker 1: there's more in this one. 1625 01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:20,240 Speaker 4: You've said many times that sometimes it's hard to bring 1626 01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 4: it because this game hurts. You know, this game is 1627 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 4: going to hurt because it's going to be maybe the 1628 01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 4: most physical of the season. How do you conjure up that? 1629 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,400 Speaker 4: And is it any different than any other game? It 1630 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,719 Speaker 4: is to know how they play you see it on film. 1631 01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the here's what trump's all of that stuff. 1632 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,760 Speaker 1: You want to earn some respect.

Pretty much, those guys 1635 01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,519 Speaker 1: don't want to they don't want to have that on 1636 01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 1: their resume. They got to wipe that slate clean. They're gonna, 1637 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 1: it's gonna They're gonna go out there and do what 1638 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,360 Speaker 1: it takes to earn their self respect back because they 1639 01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,840 Speaker 1: they can't look at what they couldn't have watched that 1640 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,840 Speaker 1: game film, the that from the other day. Certainly, the 1641 01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,000 Speaker 1: Rams played extremely well and they made a couple of 1642 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 1: all time catches they did. All the stuff that Stafford 1643 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:11,280 Speaker 1: and Cup and the Kupa did were phenomenal.

Detroit's not going to do 1646 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,479 Speaker 1: that to us. And that's kind of the attitude you 1647 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:19,519 Speaker 1: got to have going into this. 1648 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,760 Speaker 4: That's game day mentality presented by best self. Let's get 1649 01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:25,280 Speaker 4: back to the phones at eight oh three oh five 1650 01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:27,920 Speaker 4: fifty one eight eight eight five point fifty two, five 1651 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:29,560 Speaker 4: fifty then I'm gonna get on board and we go 1652 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:31,200 Speaker 4: to Judy in Buffalo next. 1653 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:32,400 Speaker 2: What do you got for us, Judy? 1654 01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:37,080 Speaker 9: Well, now that we're talking strategy, what I would like 1655 01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:40,559 Speaker 9: to see is something the Bills don't do. I would 1656 01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 9: like to see them try to control the clock, keep 1657 01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,720 Speaker 9: keep the edge on our side. In other words, if 1658 01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:51,559 Speaker 9: it takes three downs in the first down. Albeit, if 1659 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,679 Speaker 9: you can do this, go down the field, use the clock, 1660 01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:58,880 Speaker 9: you get the ren zone, let it loose. But the 1661 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,200 Speaker 9: point is the Bills have got to control the clock. 1662 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:08,240 Speaker 9: They have got Detroit offense off the field, and then 1663 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,720 Speaker 9: maybe maybe we can pull out a win. 1664 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good call, Judy, you're right, that would 1665 01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 1: be nice. The Bills are, They're okay. In time of possession, 1666 01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 1: they're just under thirty minutes a time of possession on average. 1667 01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:27,040 Speaker 1: I think I saw the rankings a little earlier. They Yeah, 1668 01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:29,040 Speaker 1: I think that's a great plan of attack. 1669 01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:31,719 Speaker 2: They're nineteenth in time of they're nineteenth. 1670 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,240 Speaker 1: Y're in the lower third of the of the or 1671 01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:34,400 Speaker 1: just above the lower. 1672 01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:34,800 Speaker 5: Third of the league. 1673 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 2: The Lions are second. 1674 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:37,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Lions are. 1675 01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 2: That's thirty two minutes in ten. 1676 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 1: If you can and here's something else, if you can 1677 01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 1: keep a team from doing what it does best, or 1678 01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,160 Speaker 1: if you can take something away from them that they 1679 01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:46,759 Speaker 1: have been able to do and all these other games, 1680 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:48,960 Speaker 1: you're forcing them to beat you a little bit left handed. 1681 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:51,559 Speaker 1: Time of possesion would be an instance in this Detroit 1682 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 1: game of doing that. 1683 01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,400 Speaker 4: Now, to mention the fact that they're decimated by injuries 1684 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:58,200 Speaker 4: on the defensive side of the ball, So if your 1685 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,040 Speaker 4: offense is keeping that group out there, they don't have 1686 01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 4: the depth to fill in and keep guys fresh either. 1687 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, this game, you're right, Judy, it would be great 1688 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:10,320 Speaker 1: if the Bills were put together about five twelve play 1689 01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:14,680 Speaker 1: eight minute drives and just ground this down. Hard to 1690 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,759 Speaker 1: do against an NFL team playing at home of that caliber, 1691 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:23,519 Speaker 1: but you're right, that's a great plan and you're gonna 1692 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,400 Speaker 1: have but you're gonna have to run the football to do. 1693 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,920 Speaker 4: It, and that's a challenge against his team. As you 1694 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:31,559 Speaker 4: heard Lomas Brown tell us, they play that wide nine scheme. 1695 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 4: It's very hard to get to the edges on them 1696 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,600 Speaker 4: in the run game because of it. Now, what is 1697 01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:39,760 Speaker 4: the status of their defensive tackle contingent? Two of them 1698 01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:44,400 Speaker 4: were out of last week's game on Woozerique and then 1699 01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:46,759 Speaker 4: Alim McNeil got a concussion. 1700 01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 2: He did play last week. 1701 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,200 Speaker 4: We're gonna have to see what his status is coming 1702 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:54,720 Speaker 4: into this week and whether he'll clear concussion protocol. Green 1703 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:56,920 Speaker 4: Bay Hunk three another defensive tackle that was out of 1704 01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:57,479 Speaker 4: the lineup too. 1705 01:22:57,640 --> 01:22:59,760 Speaker 1: Green Bay Hunk thirty one points on these guys last 1706 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:02,200 Speaker 1: week because they were injured, nicked up, and they still 1707 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,880 Speaker 1: got the wine because of that, Because of the way 1708 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:08,000 Speaker 1: they their offense played, We'll see. I mean you're gonna 1709 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 1: have to You're gonna have to flex offensively, and time 1710 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 1: of possession is a big part of that. So yeah, 1711 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:15,720 Speaker 1: there is gonna be a little bit of that going on. 1712 01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:17,360 Speaker 1: It's a good call, Judy. 1713 01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,800 Speaker 2: Let's go to Sam, who's down at Bona. What do 1714 01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:21,559 Speaker 2: you got for a Sam? 1715 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,439 Speaker 13: Hey, well, I see, I see what you're saying about. 1716 01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,360 Speaker 13: So do you think there'll be a game just like today's, 1717 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 13: just like the Rams game, like a high scoring like 1718 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:32,360 Speaker 13: like a shootout. 1719 01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:34,920 Speaker 1: I think it could be, could be Yeah, I mean 1720 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,479 Speaker 1: both these are the one and number two scoring offenses 1721 01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:38,000 Speaker 1: in the league. 1722 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,360 Speaker 13: Yeah, And like the way our defense looks like we 1723 01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:43,760 Speaker 13: couldn't stop anything, and I feel like the Rams are 1724 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,439 Speaker 13: similar kind of offense. Like it's gonna be the same thing. 1725 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,160 Speaker 2: I'm thinking, Yeah, And I think you can look at 1726 01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:50,960 Speaker 2: that two ways though. 1727 01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Sam. 1728 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:55,599 Speaker 4: You could say, one, oh crap, like they're playing another 1729 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 4: team like the one last week they dropped forty four 1730 01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 4: on them, but it's not exactly the same. Number one, 1731 01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:06,200 Speaker 4: and then number two, this defense has gone to school 1732 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,439 Speaker 4: on what all that stuff looks like at game speed 1733 01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,000 Speaker 4: with the Rams last week, and to a lesser extent, 1734 01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 4: maybe even San Francisco, who subscribes to the same type 1735 01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 4: of offense, so does Houston for that matter. 1736 01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,080 Speaker 2: Do they play it all the way back in Week five? 1737 01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,040 Speaker 1: Detroit's not game planning in a vacuum. The Bills have 1738 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:24,760 Speaker 1: been running against those schemes for now two weeks. Yeah, so, 1739 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:30,679 Speaker 1: and they I was surprised at how the Bills defense 1740 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,320 Speaker 1: looked against the Rams. I think a lot of people were. 1741 01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:37,479 Speaker 1: It was totally out of character. I would expect them 1742 01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,040 Speaker 1: to come back towards who they have been the entire 1743 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:43,639 Speaker 1: season from where they were in LA. Now, how far 1744 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:46,240 Speaker 1: back they come and how far they exceed expectations, I 1745 01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 1: don't know, but I would expect a much better and 1746 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,080 Speaker 1: a much different type of performance from this Bill's defense 1747 01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:57,120 Speaker 1: than we got last week. If that happens, then maybe 1748 01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:00,879 Speaker 1: it won't be a shootout. But make no mistake, Detroit's 1749 01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,000 Speaker 1: gonna make some plays offensively, That's what they do. They're 1750 01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,680 Speaker 1: very good. They're very good. The question is, what are 1751 01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:07,559 Speaker 1: you gonna do after they do that? You gotta respond. 1752 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,639 Speaker 1: We'll see Yeah, and that's that's the challenge. Well, there's 1753 01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,080 Speaker 1: several challenges going into this game. 1754 01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 4: Match the physicality that the Lions play with every week 1755 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 4: if not exceeded, if possible. I think the Bills will 1756 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:25,400 Speaker 4: be up for that task, because that's that's an effort 1757 01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:29,040 Speaker 4: thing more than a skill thing. That's an effort thing. 1758 01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,439 Speaker 4: Bring your physicality to the table. To me, I think 1759 01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,000 Speaker 4: they're gonna be able to do that. The question is 1760 01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,240 Speaker 4: are they going to be able to sustain it? And 1761 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:39,760 Speaker 4: by sustaining it, are you gonna be able to stay 1762 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:40,959 Speaker 4: on the field with your execution. 1763 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:42,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the next step. 1764 01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:44,200 Speaker 1: The thing about this we talked about it in game 1765 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:50,160 Speaker 1: day mentality. That's who Detroit is. They have made this 1766 01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:53,280 Speaker 1: season and their reputation under Dan Campbell as a team 1767 01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:57,120 Speaker 1: who always brings that attitude. They always bring the desire 1768 01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:02,240 Speaker 1: even if they don't execute well. They are always playing hard, physical, 1769 01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,080 Speaker 1: fast like it's like it's the most important game they've 1770 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:05,960 Speaker 1: ever played. 1771 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:07,400 Speaker 2: And it's readily apparent on tape. 1772 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:11,880 Speaker 1: They always do that. So you have to match that. 1773 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,720 Speaker 1: You have to do what you can to negate that 1774 01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:17,400 Speaker 1: on their side of the ball. And that's why you 1775 01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:19,680 Speaker 1: know that's why Detroit. Their ability to do that week 1776 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 1: in week out is one of the most impressive things 1777 01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,560 Speaker 1: about their season. Forget wins and losses. Their ability to 1778 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 1: me their ability to do that is as impressive as 1779 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 1: their one lost record, because I know how difficult it is. 1780 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:31,960 Speaker 1: They're fourteen weeks into this. 1781 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 2: It hurts, it hurts, and they're still playing that way. 1782 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:37,679 Speaker 1: They're still playing fresh. 1783 01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:40,560 Speaker 4: Gotta take a break here when we come back, some 1784 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,640 Speaker 4: final thoughts, maybe a phone call or two. Here on 1785 01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:44,759 Speaker 4: One Bill's Live, presented by Collide of Health, It's Buffalo 1786 01:26:44,840 --> 01:27:05,320 Speaker 4: Bill's Radio. All right back here on One Bill's Live 1787 01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,599 Speaker 4: Chris Brown, Steve Task, your final segment of the show, 1788 01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,120 Speaker 4: and good news. The Wednesday injury report is out and 1789 01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:14,360 Speaker 4: it's not just Keon Coleman, who is a full participant 1790 01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,200 Speaker 4: in his effort to come back from a wrist injury, 1791 01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:20,040 Speaker 4: but Dalton kin Kate also listed as a full participant 1792 01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 4: in practice as he tries to return from a week 1793 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:28,920 Speaker 4: nine knee injury. Limited in practice officially, Casey two Hill 1794 01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,960 Speaker 4: with the rib injury from last week's game. And then 1795 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,240 Speaker 4: the non participants, as we told you earlier, Rasul Douglas 1796 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:41,840 Speaker 4: and Taylor Rap with knee and shoulder injuries, respectively, so 1797 01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:43,920 Speaker 4: we'll have to see how those two make it throughout 1798 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:46,679 Speaker 4: the week. Otherwise there could be decisions to be made 1799 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 4: lineup wise at both outside corner, which means JaMarcus Ingram 1800 01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:54,719 Speaker 4: Kyrie Elan presumably the prime candidate's there, or at safety, 1801 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,240 Speaker 4: where do you decide to go with Cam Lewis or 1802 01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,519 Speaker 4: the rookie Cole Bishop If rap camp. 1803 01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,479 Speaker 1: Play, missing forty percent of your secondary is not the 1804 01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 1: way to go into Detroit and play the Lions. 1805 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 4: So it'll be something to definitely keep an eye on 1806 01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:08,760 Speaker 4: the rest of the week. So we will do that 1807 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,000 Speaker 4: for you here and as always, you can get updates 1808 01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 4: on Buffalo bills dot com. 1809 01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,439 Speaker 2: So, I mean, you get Kincaid and Coleman back this week, 1810 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:19,760 Speaker 2: that's a win. 1811 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:21,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. 1812 01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:23,799 Speaker 2: And if your full complement of weapons. 1813 01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,640 Speaker 1: They've been practicing too, so it's it's not like they 1814 01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 1: have to get up to speed. It'll be interesting to 1815 01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,719 Speaker 1: see how they're used, how much they play, if they're active, 1816 01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:33,680 Speaker 1: all of that that it's a huge question mark, but 1817 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,120 Speaker 1: it's right where you live. I mean, the Bills hung 1818 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 1: forty two on LA last week without those guys, without 1819 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 1: them we'll see that. It's pretty fun to think about. 1820 01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:47,320 Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of the last time both of 1821 01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 4: those guys played would be Seattle Week eight. Keon had 1822 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,720 Speaker 4: a monster game, his best game as a pro. I 1823 01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:57,799 Speaker 4: think it was one hundred and twenty five yards receiving 1824 01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,519 Speaker 4: and a touchdown, and Cave made a couple of plays 1825 01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 4: in that game. And the Bills, although they did get 1826 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,800 Speaker 4: some help from the Seahawks, couple of blunders. 1827 01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:11,800 Speaker 2: Won that game going away. So yeah, but it's just 1828 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:13,040 Speaker 2: a peek into what it used to be. 1829 01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:14,800 Speaker 1: Both those guys had a touchdown on that game. 1830 01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:18,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's not nothing nothing. And here's the other 1831 01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:19,000 Speaker 2: part of that too. 1832 01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,519 Speaker 4: You haven't seen them do anything offensively with those two 1833 01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 4: guys on the field for the last month, so oftentimes 1834 01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:28,880 Speaker 4: opponents are looking at what you've done the last couple 1835 01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:31,080 Speaker 4: of weeks. Yeah, to go deeper into the archive. If 1836 01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 4: you know those two are coming back, it won't work 1837 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:33,479 Speaker 4: for them. 1838 01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:35,800 Speaker 1: Hard to prepare for and the question mark as to 1839 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:38,599 Speaker 1: how good they'll be, how much they can be used, 1840 01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:40,200 Speaker 1: is a huge one. If they come back out and 1841 01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:42,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're on the field all the time, 1842 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:44,080 Speaker 1: there's no way you can plan for that. 1843 01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:47,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it for us today here on a Wednesday. 1844 01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:49,360 Speaker 4: Be sure to come right back. We'll do it all 1845 01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:52,160 Speaker 4: again tomorrow. Add one, stay safe everybody with the weather. 1846 01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:00,880 Speaker 18: Three
