1
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: These one Bill's Live presented by Call Light of Health.

2
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: All right, here we be on a Thursday, just over

3
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: forty eight hours away from Saturday night football Bills Dolphins

4
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: Week fifteen and a playoff berth on the line for Buffalo.

5
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: They get a win, they clinch a playoff berth. And

6
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: this just in fromweather dot com. Do do Do Do Do

7
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: Do Do do do uh your daily weather update, as

8
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: we've been providing those all week long. Regarding Saturday night's game,

9
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: we've now gone from chance of lake effect snow showers

10
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: to periods of snow Steve, which sounds rather likely. It

11
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: is a lake effect storm watch at this point in time,

12
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: but before the afternoon is out today, it is probable

13
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: that that moves up to a lake effect snow warning.

14
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: And when you go from a watch to a warning,

15
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: it means it's a coming. It's a coming. And I

16
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: did see our good friend Patrick Hammer tweet out earlier

17
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: about an hour ago that we could have as many

18
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: as three to seven inches on the ground by kickoff. Yeah,

19
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: I told you yesterday. When they predict snow, they don't miss.

20
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: In Buffalo, they don't miss, they don't miss. So there

21
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: you what are you gonna do? What what are you

22
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna do? Right now? Sustained winds expected to be ten

23
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: to fifteen miles per hour. We saw some reports yesterday

24
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: of gusts up to about thirty miles an hour possible.

25
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: Haven't seen anything new on that yet. Um low of

26
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: twenty six so wind chills probably have it in the teens, man,

27
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: and that's where you're at. It's gonna be bad, well,

28
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean bad, you know bad finger quotes. Won't be

29
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: that bad for buffalo of hands because we've we've been

30
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: through this before. And there's a you know, a recap

31
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: of the nineteen ninety divisional round playoff with the Dolphins

32
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: on YouTube. I was just I was just reminded of

33
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: it a minute ago on social media. Dan Marino and

34
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly was forty three thirty three or some forty

35
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: four thirty four, thirty four Bills win by ten. It

36
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: was it was the old turf that they used to

37
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: have that I that I had played on early in

38
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: my career, and it was so slippery. I showed I

39
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: showed you where they were. Oh yeah, there's a pass

40
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: rush going on. The Dolphins guard loses his feet, goes

41
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: down to his knees and just gets pushed. He's like

42
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: in one position, he's just skidding. He looks like a

43
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: blocking slid. Yeah, he's just sliding in reverse. Because it

44
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: was because it was so slippery, and because it was

45
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: so slippery, that's what turned it into a shootout forty

46
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: four thirty four. If it's slippery and you got two

47
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: guys that can sling it, like you know, Jim Kelly,

48
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: Dan Marino, Yeah, it's gonna be. I don't know that

49
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: it slippery because the new turf is different. And not

50
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: only that, Right, if the forecast indicates three to seven

51
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: inches of snow, it's gonna be more like the Indianapolis

52
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: game in twenty seventeen where there was measurable snowfall during

53
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the game on the field. Right. That that is completely

54
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: different from the game that you're referencing, where there was

55
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: just a dusting of snow enough to make everything lick

56
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: and you know, horrible in terms of sure footing. Now,

57
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: three to seven inches of snow on the field is

58
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: also going to compromise footing as well, which is why

59
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: I found it so interesting yesterday Steve, when we had

60
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson in studio with us, that he said, no,

61
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't change the way. You know, I try to

62
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: move out there, and I guess when you're a defensive player,

63
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: you're just trying to react anyway. And I asked, I asked,

64
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, who's the best snow player I've ever seen

65
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: in my life? You know, what do you do differently

66
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: to stay as balanced as you are? Because he would

67
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: cut almost exactly the same way he did. He was

68
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: on a dry field, and his footing was never compromised.

69
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: His technique was perfect because his shoulders rose over the

70
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: top of his feet and he could make change a

71
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: direction like that. Most guys, you know, you step, you've

72
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: seen him. The outside of the outside of your stays

73
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: up on the balls, stay wid your foot stays really

74
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: wide on your cut, and you kind of lean into

75
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: it like a motorcycle will turn in a corner. And

76
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Jady didn't do that, and he was in It's he

77
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: was an anomaly. Yeah he's yeah, he was, And it's

78
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: that snow game will go down in history as one

79
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: of the all time coolest games ever. There literally was

80
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: eight inches of snow on the field that fell during

81
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: the game. But I think that's what we could have

82
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: if the snow band sticks around Saturday. Yeah, I mean

83
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: we don't. I don't know what it's gonna be. Like,

84
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: wh it's too far away. It's forty eight hours away,

85
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: so any long. Here's another thing to think about, Steve. Yeah,

86
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna be in the same exact uniform.

87
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're an all red rush, which if there's

88
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: snow on the fields, easier for Josh to spot people.

89
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Can you imagine if the

90
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins are going all whites on a snow day? All whites? Man, No, no,

91
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: don't go with the with the teal pants, go with

92
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: the white jerseys, white pants, all white. Yeah, that's what

93
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying. If they go all white, white helmets too.

94
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: You wonder if two a see is the wrong thing?

95
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Maye because it kind of all blends together, you know

96
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: what I mean. They'll think about it. I'll take it. Yeah,

97
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: But that's uh, it's here's the thing. And I like

98
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: you tweet at us if you want. But this is

99
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: kind of a random question. Is this the kind of game?

100
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: And I get it. Nobody wants to sit out there

101
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: and like in that that Indianapolis game we're talking about,

102
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: people are there's always We've all seen the picture of

103
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 1: people sitting there in their seats and there's like snow

104
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: accumulated on top of them on their show, on their

105
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: sure of my son and my brother in law with

106
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: that very thing happening piled snow on the show. Here's

107
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: the thing when it's over and you're home and it's

108
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: you're that was awesome. I was there, I experienced, I

109
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: was there. But is that kind of make this one

110
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: of those games where you know what, you kind of

111
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: gotta be there for this because you can wear it.

112
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 1: You know, in generations to come, you're gonna tell your kids.

113
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about the Dolphins game in twenty

114
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: twenty two Division we had the number one seed was

115
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: on the line. Josh Allen tuh Josh and two uh.

116
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be like like Dan Marino Jim

117
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: Kelly kind of thing, right, I mean, it's gonna be

118
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: like one of those rivalries. Is this the kind of

119
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: game just because of the weather you kind of think, hush,

120
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, on I should be there because if I'm

121
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: not there, there's gonna be a time when I wish

122
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: I was, you know what I mean, Just for the

123
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: story right, Um, yeah, I could see that. I mean,

124
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: this is this is. I went to a game back

125
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. It was snowing sideways. Because I

126
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: tell you, the on running joke between the old guys

127
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: is that you know, you've met one point two million

128
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: people that were at the comeback to come back and

129
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: they were the one person who didn't want to leave.

130
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: I didn't leave. Yeah, yeah, those are right. Yea half

131
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: the people I love all, I love all one point

132
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: two million of them. But you know, it's the way

133
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: it is. And half of those people who are trying

134
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: to climb over the fence to get back into I

135
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: met a couple of those two. I met a couple

136
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: of those other guy they were one hundred miles away

137
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: and turned around it came back. Yeah you know that.

138
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Oh well, so it's one of me. It has a chance,

139
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: and we all we all know it. It could be

140
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: one of those games, could be It could be one

141
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: of those games. Now, that Indianapolis game, the snow Game

142
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: from twenty and fifteen, I guess right seventeen that snow

143
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: game was epic by any standard. An overtime win for

144
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the home team Bills, the Jersey Colors the white of

145
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts and the oh already the Bill's color

146
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: rush uniforms. Eight inches of snow on the ground the

147
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: the and that really to me. And you look at

148
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: the schedule and all this, and if you go down

149
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: and look at the Bill schedule, there's it's no, it's

150
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: it is not a coincidence of the Bills have three

151
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: of their last five at home in December. What do

152
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: you mean by that? It's no coincidence. TV TV wants

153
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: games like this. I'm already here and it's gonna be

154
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: bitterly cold in Chicago next week. Like down around ten

155
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: TV television crews and television you're looking at the cold

156
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: weather game the rest of the way here Chicago, Cincinnati,

157
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: Monday night, January second. Hello, Oh yeah, they're all gonna

158
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: be cold game. All gonna be very cold games from

159
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: here on out. But but it's no quint that twenty

160
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: seventeen Colt game in Buffalo with the eight inches of

161
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: snow on the ground during the game. That sets you

162
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: up for getting some home games in December from here

163
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: on because it adds some of it. People wherever they are,

164
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: they hear about it. While it's ha and they go

165
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: and they find it, and they they gravitate, and you

166
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: just get everybody wants to see it. Everybody wants to

167
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: see it. All of us want to see it. So

168
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: my question would be, you know, Bills fans, you know,

169
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: is this one you you have to get rid of

170
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: your tickets or you'll never get rid your tickets. Right,

171
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: I think it would be I'll never get rid from

172
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: I thank you. So I think he's got to be

173
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: one of those, right. The novelty of it all just yeah,

174
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: So the uniqueness of it. Yeah, let's get to your

175
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: Bills practice updates presented by Lee Coom Lake Erie College

176
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: of Osteopathic Medicine, And we know the following. Starting right

177
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: guard Ryan Bates is out for this game due to

178
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: an ankle sprain that he suffered in the last week's game.

179
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: He'll be replaced in the line of presumably by the

180
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: same guy that replaced him last week. Greg Van wrote

181
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: in the veteran guard defensive tackle Jordan Phillip's going to

182
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury. So

183
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: both of those players ruled out for Saturday night against

184
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Matt Milano, Ed Oliver, Reggie Gilliam all improving.

185
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: According to head coach Sean McDermott, they have not been

186
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: ruled out at practice today. We did see Reggie Gilliam

187
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: out there, and I believe I saw Ed Oliver out

188
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: there too, and Matt Milano, according to coach McDermott, was

189
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: supposed to practice a little bit today, much like he

190
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: did last week. Didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday, practiced

191
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: on Friday, listed as questionable, played on Sunday. It appears

192
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: that it's trending in a similar direction as this seems

193
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: to be for Milano anyway, something that might be nagging

194
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: him the rest of the way. He just has to

195
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: manage it through the course of the practice week and

196
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully be good to go on Sundays in

197
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: for a month of really hard practices. It's hard to make,

198
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. The Dolphins meanwhile, have some injuries in

199
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: the secondary which are of concern to them, and basically

200
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: what they're looking at. Eric Rowe, their safety starting safety

201
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: who got injured in last week's game against the Chargers,

202
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: did not practice yesterday. Mike McDaniel, the head coach of

203
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, said today it doesn't look like they're going

204
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: to have him for Saturday night's game. The reason that

205
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: that is significant is because one of his backups is

206
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: also on the injury report. Elijah Campbell is in concussion call,

207
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: so he hasn't practiced at all this week either, So

208
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: Roe unlikely to play on a short week with a

209
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Elijah Campbell his backup in concussion protocol. At

210
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: least through yesterday, he was We'll see what happens today

211
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: when the practice participation and Thursday injury report comes out

212
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins today. So they're gonna be a little

213
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: shorthanded on the back end, and you know, let's remind

214
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: you this is a secondary that's been without Byron Jones

215
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: all season long. Nick Needham, who is their primary nickel corner,

216
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: is still on injured reserve. So they're pasting it together

217
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: on the back end for the Dolphins, and they might

218
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: be another man, possibly two men short this week. So

219
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: my estimation, Steve, is that either Clayton Fejerdellum or say

220
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: that five times fast, or one of or a rookie

221
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: Varne McKinley is going to have to play starting safety

222
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins on Sunday. I believe it's gonna be Federlatum.

223
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Who you know, Federlum is. I always botched that name,

224
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: and I look at the phonetic pronunciation and I still

225
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: can't get it. It's not spelled how you pronounce it.

226
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: I Clayton Federalum, the free agent they signed from Cincinnati,

227
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: would presumably be the guy stepping into the starting lineup there.

228
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll have to see how it goes

229
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: on the back end for them, because that group is

230
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: a shell of what it normally looks like. It's not

231
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: all that different from what Buffalo secondary looked like in

232
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: Week three. Yeah, well they didn't have Poyer Hide had

233
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: been lost for the season, Dame Jackson was hurt, and

234
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Tredavious White wasn't back from you know, his ACL rehab.

235
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: It was it was tarn Johnson and everybody else, right,

236
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: it was Jaquan Johnson, dem Our Hamlin, Christian Benford, and

237
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: Kayer Elam. That was your starting secondary with Taron Johnson. So,

238
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: and they gave up twenty one points and let's not

239
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: forget noehed Oliver Jordan Phillips in that game, and they

240
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: had and they gave up twenty one points to the

241
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, and one of them was after Josh fumbled

242
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: it on his five on the five yard line. The other.

243
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: The other thing to note here, Steve, with regard to

244
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: injuries is Jeff Wilson suffered a hip injury in last

245
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: week's game against the Chargers. He has not practiced at

246
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: all this week, so if he does play on Saturday night,

247
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: he's not going to be healthy. Raheem Mostard is not

248
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: listed on this injury report, but he's been on and

249
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: off the report with a knee problem that he's been managing.

250
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: So each of their top two backs presumably not one

251
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: hundred percent. We don't even know if Wilson's gonna play.

252
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're they're fighting through some stuff right now,

253
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: and you might see, you know, a return to the

254
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: lineup of Salvin Ahmed or maybe Miles Gaskin if Jeff

255
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: Wilson can't go, and then Toront Armstead they're left tackle. Yeah,

256
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: the guy's got a laundry list of injuries. Did you

257
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: see that knee? Elbow? He's got a knee peck and

258
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: a toe injury. The toe has been bad. I heard

259
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: him say a couple of weeks ago that he expects

260
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: to be dealing with that the rest of the season.

261
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: That's not going away until the end of the year.

262
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: But now he's got a peck problem and knee problem,

263
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: so he's probably playing on one leg out there. Um. Yeah,

264
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: and their right tackle lost in Jackson's on injured reserve,

265
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: so it yeah, they've got my how the tables have

266
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: turned from tackle? But Eric Fisher is also on their squad.

267
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Who they That's right, they just picked him up. So yeah,

268
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: they every tea, but you know, you can't and I

269
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: know it's it's fun for families. You can't bank on

270
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. Because the Bills are gonna feel

271
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: really good about the guys they run out there. They

272
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: felt okay about him um in Week three, and they

273
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: should have. They they played okay. They did gave up

274
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: twenty one points to a Dolphin. Now now they got

275
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: some complimentary football because the Dolphins only had the ball

276
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: for less than twenty minutes, or just at twenty minutes

277
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: of the game, and the Bills had it for forty.

278
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: But they played really well defensively against these guys in

279
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: their first meeting. Like I said, they gave up a

280
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns, but two fourteen points and then the

281
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: third touchdown, which they did give up technically, was when

282
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: Josh got a sack strip fumble inside the ten yard

283
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: line of the Bills and the Dolphins walked into a

284
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: short field. So it was it was one of those

285
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: games where the Bills just couldn't muster enough offense to

286
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: put pressure on those guys. Despite sixty three pass attempts

287
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: right and four hundred yards through the air, right, they didn't.

288
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: They didn't get it done in the red zone. That

289
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: was well, that's right, they turned it over. So yeah,

290
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: we are anticipating the arrival shortly of one Micah Hide

291
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: for his weekly segment, Nothing to Hide, So if you

292
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: have any questions for him, fire them off to us

293
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live. You'll be happy to answer those.

294
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm curious to get from Micah Steve, what has been

295
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: the chatter in the locker room this week, if at

296
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: all about the anticipated weather conditions, Because you've got some

297
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: guys in that locker room who did play in the

298
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: Indianapolis snow game here in twenty seventeen. Shack Lawson played

299
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: in that game. Obviously, Micah played in that game. Jordan

300
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: Poyer played in that game. Dion Dawkins, So there are

301
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: some there's a handful of guys that played in that game,

302
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: So I'll be interested to get a thought or two

303
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: from him on that subject, just to see, you know,

304
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: at what level is that even being discussed. Obviously, you've

305
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: got this mindset in this focus to get ready for

306
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: your opponent, your assignments, master everything, the game plan, etc.

307
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: But it's human nature to also and it's proper preparation

308
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: to consider the conditions too, is it not. So I'm

309
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: just kind of curious where that sits on the priority.

310
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: You start thinking about stuff like, you know, what are

311
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: you gonna wear on the field underneath your jersey and

312
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: your sleeves and your pants. And one of the problems

313
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: is if you start putting on long Johns, you put

314
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: a couple of layers along John's on, are they going

315
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: to be waterproof? And however many layers you put on

316
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: is in direct proportions to how high you can lift

317
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: your knees when you run. You know, you can put

318
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: on a bunch of layers on top, but what most

319
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: guys do on top is they'll they'll put on all

320
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: their sleeves and their shirts, but they cut all of

321
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: their shirts off just above the waist so they don't

322
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: have to tuck anything in. They tuck the jersey and

323
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: that's it. Everything else because that anything you tuck into

324
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: your waistband, it's hard to move your legs. In your head,

325
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: everything starts to bind up in there. So you start

326
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: planning on that, Like you're asking guys in the locker

327
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: room and all that. You can bet there's a lot

328
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: of communication that gone going on, Like guys with like

329
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: Mike Micah and Jordan Poy and all these guys that

330
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: did play in that game. What you do? How what

331
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: do you remember? It's been twenty seventeen, So some of

332
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: these guys are like, oh my gosh, what did I wear?

333
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a minute. It's not like he

334
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: Maybe they do, maybe they're smart enough to do that,

335
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: but you write that stuff down and keep tracking, but

336
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: nobody does. You're just trying to get through the day

337
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: because you never know if it's going to work or

338
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: not until you get out and play in the game.

339
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: That's right. Speaking of the Dolphins, they're poking fun at

340
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: the weather forecast. We saw a head coach Mike McDaniel.

341
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: The video practically went viral on social media, where he

342
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: wore a T shirt to practice that said I wish

343
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: it was colder, playing off of a T shirt he

344
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: wore in training camp that said I wish it was hotter.

345
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: You know. He also said this week that he does

346
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: not consider the weather forecast one iota and doesn't think

347
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: it's a factor unless you decide to make it one.

348
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: I would respectfully disagree with that mantra, because I think

349
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: it does matter. I don't know where you come down

350
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: on it, Steve, but the weather is a factor. And

351
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: to just summarily dismiss it out of hand, I my

352
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: only guess is he's trying to downplay it so his

353
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: players don't make an issue of it. Maybe it's a

354
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: little bit of a coaching tactic. I don't know it's real.

355
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: And then two a yesterday at the podium says, you know, guys,

356
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: because he got to ask like five snow questions in

357
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: a row, and he's like, guys, it snows at Alabama too.

358
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: But I think it was I believe I want to

359
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: get this right, to make sure I have the right

360
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: person when I say this, and give credit where it's due.

361
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: It was a great response to the comments made by

362
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: two like it snows in Alabama. I've seen snow before,

363
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: not a big deal. And I read tweeted the response.

364
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: It was one of our local news reporters. I want

365
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: to say it was Michael Schwartz, and I hope I

366
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: have that name right, and forgive me if I don't.

367
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: But he basically responded and he I was. He was.

368
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: He responded by saying, Alabama annual snowfall seven inches snowfall

369
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: and Buffalo on November thirteenth, seventy seven inches. It's different.

370
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: It's different. So to tell me that it snows in Alabama,

371
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: that's all well and good. I think it's safe to

372
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 1: say that's different snow here, right. Oh yeah, And like

373
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: I said, you know, we've I've been in Buffalo for

374
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: over thirty year, thirty five years. You've been here for

375
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: a couple of decades as well. There's only been one

376
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: game like like that and one game. So that's living

377
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. So I don't know where you play or

378
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: wherever it is you play, whatever, you're not gonna have

379
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: a game like that one or maybe not this one.

380
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: You can't it can't prepare for it. But I know this,

381
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: the Dolphins will do this and the Bills will do

382
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: it as well. You just got to embrace it. Let's go,

383
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: let's go have some fun, let's play. The weather is

384
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: what it is, let's go. And that's that's how you

385
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: have to approach these games. I'm sure the Dolphins are

386
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna do that, and I know the Bills will break

387
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: time for us. When we come back, we'll be joined

427
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: it's really fun. Now, there's a pretty good chance by

428
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: that time you're gonna have the green light to play, right,

429
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: you can play in that right if the softball game

432
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: You know, my doctor's saying no contact right now. But

433
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: you know, if we were playing the softball game, I

434
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: might be playing right now, so I will for sure

Speaker 1: seven okay, yeah, yeah, May seventh, I'm sure to be

436
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: out there. So in due course, as the day gets closer,

437
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: there will be information provided out there and in terms

438
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: of how to get tickets. Obviously, Mike is working with

439
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: the Bisons once again, So just mark it on your

440
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: calendar for now and then when ticket information comes out,

441
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: we'll be sure to pass it along to you so

442
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: you can make sure you attend the game. Okay, uh,

443
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: this is the first question. Obviously, there's snow in the

444
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: forecast for Saturday night, Mica. You obviously played in the

445
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen game against the Colts here where there was

446
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: measurable snow on the field. When you're in your scope

447
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: and you're in your zone, you know, preparation for the game,

448
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, preparing for assignments, execution of the game plan,

449
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: personnel you're going against, opponent, all of this stuff, tendencies.

450
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: Where does the possible weather rank on the priority scale

451
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: in that list of preparation. Um, well, you always gotta

452
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna be a bad weather game. Um,

453
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: you know, being in Buffalo with the snow, with the wind,

454
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: it has to be at the top of your priority

455
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: because okay, close to the top, because you know, you

456
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: gotta know how they're game plan or how the offense

457
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: is going to attack us if it's a snow game,

458
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: if it's a windy games. You know, that's those type

459
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: of game. You know, obviously Patriots game last year it

460
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: was just you know, super windy, UM chosen seventeen snow

461
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: game against um, the Colts. Like those type of games

462
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: that you know, you just you gotta you gotta know

463
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: how the weather's going to be because defensively, you gotta prepare,

464
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: if it's a run game, if it's a past game,

465
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: that type of stuff. So yeah, and you go out

466
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: tom on a it's different for the type of whether

467
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: it is like like last week you saw those guys

468
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: it was raining, and it was but it was like

469
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: thirty it was above freezing, right, and then it's kind

470
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: of turned into ice all that stuff, and then the

471
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: mix is different. It's almost better. And you tell me,

472
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: we were talking about it, it's better if it's snow

473
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: and not raining. In my rights, I'm all for the snow,

474
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: and usually when it snows that much, it's not that cold,

475
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: so um, I'm I'm all for the snow. Rain I'm

476
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: not a big fan of um. And then the wind,

477
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, the rain. Here's the here's the reason,

478
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: because when it snow, you don't get wet, as crazy

479
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: as that sounds. Rain, Once you get wet, you ain't

480
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: warm enough ever at all. It's like that thirty five

481
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: minute shower after the game where you stand under the

482
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: hot water and just kind of you have to get

483
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: it back right. That game was wild. I still can't

484
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: even even when I look at pictures. You know. My

485
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: wife was saying, deculdy and see it. Watched the game

486
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: from the box. They couldn't even see it on TV.

487
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm running and I'm on the snow, and then I

488
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: you you hit the yard line because they were you know,

489
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: half and you would you would drop down. Seems like

490
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: a half an inch and like I'm about to like

491
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: tear my tear my growing. I have to run a

492
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: full speed you know, on different surfaces. So was it

493
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: was wild? Yeah? People forget stepping off a step. Yeah,

494
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: people forget like Nathan Peterman started that game, Tyrod was hurt.

495
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: Peterman goes out with a concussion. You got Joe Webb

496
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: in the game. I still can't believe Deonte Thompson made

497
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: that catch. That's insane. That was a sideline. And then

498
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: and then like shady the whole game, It's like he

499
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: wasn't running in snow. Yeah he was playing a different game,

500
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: like he was. Yeah, like he Philly days back when

501
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: he was that That game winning run was like no

502
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: one else was running as fast as him. It was.

503
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: It's completely unaffected. I don't know how he does it.

504
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: I asked him after the game, like do you do

505
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: anything different? He's like, what are you talking about? I

506
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: was like, all right, forget it. I'm not getting anywhere

507
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: with that. He just he just doesn't even don't even

508
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: thirty two is like trying to get through the snow

509
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: and this d But there might be measurable snow like

510
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: that on Saturday, and they're saying three to seven inches

511
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: on the field possible during the day during by game time.

512
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean they'll I'm sure they'll have the tarp down,

513
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: but if it's still snowing after kickoff, it could pile

514
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: up like it did. I make sure my boots to

515
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: the rule says, and I believe that the window is

516
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: ninety minutes before the game. They got to have the field,

517
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: gonna have the tarp, you gotta have the tarpop. So

518
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: that's an hour and a half. Is it a rule?

519
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: If it's it's like a not a competitive advantage for

520
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: each team, well, because they want it off in time

521
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: for guys to go out and warm up proper warm

522
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,239
Speaker 1: up time. So they got to have it uncovers they

523
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: go out and warm up. But that's the latest they

524
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: can I think that's the wholest they can hold it.

525
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Um And that means, you know, and that's if it's

526
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: snowed last night, you can keep the field tarp that

527
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: kind of thing and all the way up so that

528
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: that's the window. So guys can go out early, yeah,

529
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: and start, you know, fooling around on the field and

530
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: see how it goes. Makes sense, all right, Yeah, it's

531
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: we'll see there. They'll have it covered. They'll have it cover.

532
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: It's an eight twenty and they'll do it right. If

533
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: it's an eight fifteen kickoff, that's yeah, we'll see sixty

534
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: five take it off. Let's get to the nothing to

00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: raised me my single parent and I was I was

560
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: all over the city with a ton of people at

561
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: my friend's house and the whole community raised me. So

562
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't change for anything. How is that the street

563
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: you grew up on that day that lead up right

564
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: to the stadium? And then okay, yeah, yeah, so high

565
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: school stadium. Yeah, I grew up in a you know,

566
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: four or five different streets, but that that was lead

567
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: up to the stadium. Awesome. Cool Second question from Daniel,

568
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: just hoping your rehab is going well and that you'll

569
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: be full going next year. I hate that you are

570
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: not playing. We miss you on the field. We want

571
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: you and pull back together again so you can retire

572
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: a Buffalo bill. Um, what are the doctors telling you?

573
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: Things going pretty well with the rehab. Things are going great. Um,

574
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm running, I'm lifting. Yeah, I'm in

575
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, amazing shape right now. So I'm just trying

576
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: to take it one day at a time. If it

577
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: was up to me, I'll you know, I would love

578
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: to get back out there, but it's not up to me.

579
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: It's up to my doctor. So right, So are you

580
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: learning quickly how tough it was for Trey wanting to

581
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: come back, because you're probably going through that right now.

582
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm itching. But at the same time, I know I

583
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: had a long conversation with my doctor, but even before

584
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: surgery and after surgery, and you know, he understands that

585
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: he has to protect me from myself. Yeah. You know,

586
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm just that type of guy that I just want

587
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: to be out there. I want to be helping the team.

588
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: And even though I feel great, which he said I

589
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: was going to after surgery, I was gonna feel great,

590
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 1: but it's all about, you know, what the scans are

591
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: showing and how healthy I really am on the inside.

592
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: So um, I understand that, but you know, I'm still

593
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna try to push it right. That's the way it is.

594
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: I've told I've got buddies, you know, I've gone through

595
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: the knee surgeries and all that stuff, and they always

596
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: tell you the easier and slower you take it right

597
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: after surgery, that if you were set back, you have

598
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: exactly what you really do. Turn it up exactly. And

599
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 1: that's that's exactly what I did. I didn't do anything

600
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: for for a while, and I was out in San

601
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: Diego and I was just walking around the house. That's

602
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: all I really could do. And so you know, when

603
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: I got back here, I took it really slow, and

604
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: I just I love where I'm at um mentally now,

605
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: you know it was this it's still you know, up

606
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: and down, just knowing you know that I feel like

607
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: I could be helping the team, but I'm not able

608
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: to be out there, and obviously game days are pretty

609
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: tough for me. But I just try to, you know,

610
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: put put all out behind me. And I got a

611
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: new role and I'm excited for this opportunity that I have. Okay,

612
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: So with that in mind from Sharon, will it be

613
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: more difficult to defend hill and waddle if we get

614
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: the snow that's anticipated during the game. There's this old

615
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: adage that offensive players have the advantage in snowy conditions

616
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: because they know where they're going, and you, as a defender,

617
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: I have to be the reactive player. Is there any

618
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: merit to that old adage or not? I don't. I don't.

619
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't think the offense has advantage. I kind of

620
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: like it. I kind of like when it's snowing, you know,

621
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: I feel like the defense, Um, any type of weather

622
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: game has the advantage because you know, if it's windy, um,

623
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: quarterback can't throw into the wind hard advantage. If it's

624
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: a snow game, we know they got to run the ball.

625
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna remember pass. If it's raining, then we know,

626
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's a good opportunity to punch the ball

627
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: out because the ball is wet, so it can go

628
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: both ways. I mean, I guess, but I'm a defensive mind,

629
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: so I feel like that's the name for us. You're right, though,

630
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: the weather can force an offense into being a one

631
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: dimensional offense and if you're not that good at that

632
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: one dimension, big time advantage. And that's the thing too,

633
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit unpredictable in how it's almost

634
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: like a matchup problem with the weather exactly how does

635
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: your offense match up with the weather? You know what

636
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's that's big And it's also match up

637
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: with the defense and special teams. I think special teams.

638
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: Field position plays the biggest role because if you're punting

639
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: into the wind or with the wind, you know how

640
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: big of a field position position battle that could be.

641
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: And then same thing for rain and then snow. Like

642
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't matter. I just feel like what you said,

643
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: it's about matchup. How do you match up against the weather?

644
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: And you know we have we've played in this a lot.

645
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: We have a quarterback that loves to play in the

646
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: weather game, so you know, we feel like we can

647
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: go out there and you know, play our best with

648
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: with the weather. Who knew all that time and Laramie

649
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: Wyoming would be an advantage for Josh now very wild? Uh?

650
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: Time for one more quick one here and this one's

651
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: from Tony. Do opposing players joke around and laugh during

652
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: the game. I guess he's asking like during timeouts, TV

653
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: timeouts and stuff when you're both sitting there on the field,

654
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: and then who's the funniest guy, Who's the funniest guy

655
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: you've played against? Oh? Wow, that's that's a that's a

656
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: very good question. Yes, guys, guys. Guys do joke around.

657
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: Guys do joke around. Um, you have all different types

658
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: of people. Like I feel like I'm kind of one

659
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: of those guys that that joke around to the other

660
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: team until until like it really gets, it really gets

661
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: in the heat of the battle. Someone's talking junk. Then

662
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: you know you gotta go out there, and it turned

663
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: into it turned into that game. It's not funny. It's

664
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: not funny anymore. But uh, but the number one guy,

665
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: the funniest guy you've played against? Someoney just maybe cracked

666
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: you up in the middle of a game. Like I

667
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: think it's always fun to playing against former players that

668
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: you've that you've played with four teammates. I'm sorry, Yeah,

669
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: I feel like that's always that's always pretty funny because

670
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: you go to war with these guys every single week,

671
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: and then when they're on the other team, you gotta

672
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: pretend like you you know, like you don't like him,

673
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: like you know, even Preca got a lot of material

674
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: on him exactly being a team exactly. So like you're,

675
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, pre game, you're talking to him and it's no,

676
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, you're hugging. See you know, like you're hugging,

677
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: but you're really like, I want to win today. That's

678
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: just how I am. I want to win. It's kind

679
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: of that Kobe mentality, like he you know, you're playing

680
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: against your boys, but you want to play harder. So

681
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: then when you get to the game, it kind of

682
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: is funny. It kind of is funny you and especially

683
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: playing against like Shack the last couple of years, playing

684
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: against Big Phil, playing against those type of guys. So

685
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: I don't know who the funniest opponent, you know, other

686
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: than those guys are, but um, definitely former Jack would

687
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: be a pretty good answer. Jax h D. I mean

688
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: the winner coat this week he's doing the Jordan Phillips

689
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, Big Phil started that, he's been he

690
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: did that in his first go around here. Why wouldn't

691
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: big guys want to do that? Though? They're so they

692
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: get so sweaty so fast. Anyway, you're jacket on. Look, man,

693
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: and what is that jacket? Smell like it? After practice?

694
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: That's got to go to the cleaner. I'm not smelling it.

695
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm not smelling it. I don't know how you avoid it.

696
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is walk by it. Yeah that's true.

697
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: But those guys they do what you gotta do to

698
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: get through practice. That's all you gotta tell. You get

699
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: out to the quarter tell. For me, I always dreaded

700
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: going out and practice weather like that. I always dreaded

701
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: going out to practice like in days like this. Then

702
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: I did more so of the game. It was always

703
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: a thousand percent harder to go out and practice. And well,

704
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: you get up for a game. Is that what you're saying?

705
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: Like the game is the game? The game is worth it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

706
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: the work the game. Everybody's crazy, it was, and you

707
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: going out there and you don't care what the weather is.

708
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: You want to win. The practice comes around. We had

709
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: and we have Pat Hammer now everybody talks to Pat.

710
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: We used to have a rookie's job. His role was

711
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: to go outside. We used to practice the stadium all times.

712
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: The field house wasn't here, so we'd send the rookie

713
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: out to the stadium and come back with the weather

714
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: report and he put on the he put on the

715
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: boards like, okay, it is a locker day because if

716
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: you got it in your locker, you got put it on. Yeah.

717
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: So that was a rookie's job every day. So because

718
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: we're practicing the exact same spot every day, and it

719
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: was it was important, brutal and if you got it wrong,

720
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: you know the guy. But what I've noticed here is

721
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: that you do have to get used to the weather, though.

722
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: You have to get used to what you have to

723
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: get used to playing it. And so that's kind of

724
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean, in that sense, it's an advantage. Like I

725
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: feel like with me personally being in cold weather games

726
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: my whole entire life, like I haven't been able to

727
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: get out of it. Um Like, mentally, there's nothing better

728
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: than December football. Knowing that it's gonna be like that,

729
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: and the other teams coming in, they're gonna be dreading it.

730
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: They're talking about the weather all week and you know

731
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: we're all here just walking through the snow, walking through

732
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: the salt. Just it's not a shock, it's it's a

733
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: it's a night game, you know what we're just I

734
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: guess We're just a little bit crazy. Yeah, you go

735
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: out in the game for game. I love it. Yeah, okay,

736
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: love it. We are out of time already, but Mica,

750
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: Although I suppose it's kind of like Friday right with

751
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: the game on Saturday evening. Yes, for our days have

752
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: been shifted just a bit this week, certainly, kit wait

753
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: for Saturday night. What's the official one Bills Drive one

754
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: Bills Live on one Bills Drive. What is the one

755
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: bills Live forecast for Saturday night? Yeah, right now they're

756
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: saying seventy percent chance of snow showers. There is a

757
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: chance there could be measurable snow on the ground by kickoff,

758
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: depending on when the tarp comes off, you know, could

759
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: be three to seven inches of snow on the field.

760
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: I love it, everything about it. I love it all

761
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: fair enough, there you go, all right, So Justin Herbert

762
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: is starting to look more like Justin Herbert Field the

763
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Maybe that route cage is finally healthy.

764
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: You're hopping on the train, that's right. And speaking of healthy,

765
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: Brownie Keenan Allen, Mike Williams also healthy. So it stands

766
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: to reason that Justin Herbert will be a little bit

767
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: more like himself. So he has our quarterback for this week.

768
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: The price is eight thousand, three hundred bucks. It's a

769
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: very good matchup as well, because well Tennessee certainly can

770
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: run the football on offense, they don't throw it much,

771
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: they don't defend it very much on the back end,

772
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: and in the passing game as well. So a good

773
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: matchup here for Justin Herbert to exploit against the Chargers.

774
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: Wouldn't surprise me. If he surpasses three hundred yards passing,

775
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: that's always that would be very nice. And I kind

776
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: of agree with you as well. Tennessee seems to be

777
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: going sideways, which is something we don't see him do

778
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: very often. That's that looks like a good matchup to

779
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: me as well. The running backs you've got this week,

780
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: give us a rundown on Najie Harris and Ezekiel Elliott. Yeah,

781
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 1: heavy hitters here, right. Najie Harris, who hasn't necessarily been

782
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: a high ceiling player, but has been a high floor

783
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: player believe it or not for the Steelers. He's been

784
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: running better of late. He has also been finding the

785
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: end zone of late, which is good. And he has

786
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: been a little bit involved in the passing game, not

787
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: nearly as much as last year, but enough to make

788
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: him worth his while at six thousand, six hundred bucks.

789
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: And then Zeke Elliott ha you mentioned as well, who

790
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: keep scoring touchdowns. He scored a touchdown in six straight

791
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: games that he has played in. Obviously, Tony Pollard has

792
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: a big role for Dallas as well, but when the

793
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys get close to the end zone. We know who

794
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: their best powerback option is. That remains Ezekiel Elliott, so

795
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: a reasonably good matchup against the Jaguars. He also finds

796
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: his way into the lineup. All right, let's move to

797
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: the receivers. And you got like a little mixed bag here,

798
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: But you are double dipping with your quarterback. That's right,

799
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: and I try to almost always find a stack. But

800
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: the three receivers this week are Christian Kirk, Chris Olave,

801
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: and Mike Williams, priced at seventy one hundred and then

802
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: seventy one hundred again, and then seventy two hundred dollars

803
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: for Mike Williams, who of course is stacked with Justin Herbert.

804
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk's volume has remained steady all season, even if

805
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: he's not a great end zone threat of late, the

806
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: targets are piling up, and at some point you have

807
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: to figure those targets started into yet another trip to

808
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: the end zone. Meanwhile, Chris Olave draws a very favorable matchup.

809
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: The Falcons have been a bit better of late defending

810
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: the past, especially because aj Terrell has played much more

811
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: like his usual self, which is a borderline all pro cornerback.

812
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: That being said, it's still not a great area of

813
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: death for Atlanta. So I think Chris Olave and the

814
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: Saints can move the football effectively. On Sunday, the game

815
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: is being played in New Orleans and what is a

816
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: virtual must win for the Saints. Give us a little

817
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: synopsis Chris Olava about the year he's had. He's a rookie,

818
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: We didn't don't know too much about him. When did

819
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: he emerge as a guy that you know what? You

820
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: got to think about him? When everybody else got hurt there, right, Yeah,

821
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: that certainly helped. Yeah, it was actually a quiet time

822
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: when Chris Olava and the Saints played the Falcons very

823
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: early on in the season. He was limited to like

824
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: three catches in that game. But you know, the Saints

825
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: felt really good about Olave when they made that trade

826
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: up in the draft. It was that trade with Philadelphia

827
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: like maybe a month or two before the draft, and

828
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: it involved all these picks going back and forth on

829
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: either side. The net result was that New Orleans had

830
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: two first round picks last year and the first one

831
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: ended up being Chris Olave. So they felt really good

832
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: about him. But for fantasy purposes. Once Mike Thomas and

833
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: once Jarvis Landry got banged up early, he became the

834
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: man in New Orleans and he has really thrived as

835
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: part of a very good group of rookie wide receivers,

836
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: especially guys taken in the first round. All right, so

837
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: let's wrap up the line up here. Tight end, flex

838
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: and d You got a couple of appearances by the Jets.

839
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: Yes we do tight end. Tight end Tyler Conklin is

840
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: in the next year for the Jets. We'll see who

841
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: starts at quarterback on Sunday, and you might expect if

842
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: it is Zach Wilson, my confidence will wane in this selection.

843
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: There's an opportunity to pivot. But if it is Mike White,

844
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: I think he and that Jets defense probably impressed you

845
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: guys this past Sunday, as I thought that it was

846
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: a pretty gritty effort from both Mike White and that

847
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: defense keeping it close. I mean, it was just twenty

848
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: to twelve game against Buffalo, obviously, and the Bills are

849
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: as good as it gets in the league. So I

850
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: was impressed by the Jets effort. Teller Conklin, a big

851
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: body in the middle of the field who he and

852
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: c j Uzama both got big contracts this offseason from

853
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: the Jets. Conklin has been the far busier of the two.

854
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: I expect that one to stay that way going forward.

855
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: With Chris Godwin in the flex spot here, and Godwin's

856
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: volume has just been absolutely ridiculous. As you guys know,

857
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: the Bucks can't throw the ball. He can't run the

858
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: ball at all this year. So basically what they've done

859
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: is they've turned Chris Godwin into an extension of their

860
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: running game as he's catching all these passes within like

861
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: five yards of the line of skirmmage, so the volume

862
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: is terrific. He's at seven thousand dollars. I just referenced

863
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: the Jets defense, which is my final pick here. Again,

864
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: usual caveats apply. Don't like to pay too much money

865
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: forty one hundred dollars. And while the Lions offense has

866
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: certainly been red hot of late, I can't overstate this

867
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: Lions are a different team playing outdoors and indoors. We

868
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: could see the same thing with Miami and it's not

869
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: outdoors indoors, but it's cold weather versus warm weather. That's

870
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: how the Lions are as well. So I expect the

871
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: Jets defense to have its way on Sunday in what

872
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: looks like no snow impact or anything, but like a

873
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: thirty degree day in East Rutherford, New Jersey. All right, Field,

874
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: thanks for being flexible with your schedule this week. We

Speaker 1: safety Jordan Poyer and the rest of the Bills are

894
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: preparing to brave what could be another snow game should

895
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: the circumstances arrive this Saturday night against the Dolphins. We

896
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be snow. That's and I asked our

897
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: guy Jeff Masuri, I go, what do we expect. He's

898
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: just said snow. That's it. So it's gonna be snowy

899
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 1: and cold for them, it's gonna be snow and cold

900
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: for us. We'll have to deal with it to the

901
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: best of our abilities. Is there anybody on the team

902
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: that really likes it? Dawson Knox? Just take all those

903
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: photos outside and warm ups with this tank top on,

904
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: and it looks good. So I'm not gonna do that.

905
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: Oh we can't wait. Um yeah, I mean in the

906
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: cold as how football is meant to be played. And

907
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: I think everyone in the top here is happy to

908
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: playing the coal. We just came in from a twenty

909
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: degree practice like it was nothing. Um, so we're we're

910
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: super excited for the elements we hope, we hope it's

911
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: as cold as it can possibly be on Saturday night.

912
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: You get off the plane and that wind she'll hit

913
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: you for the first time. It plays a factor, you know,

914
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: it definitely played a factor in my head. I'm might.

915
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 1: I do not want of me here right now. Yeah,

916
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: it is what it is, you know, playing Buffalo, playing

917
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: in December and Buffalo. Um, it's not the easiest task

918
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: to do. M but again it's it's cold for them,

919
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: it's cold for us. We get to practice in it.

920
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: That's one advantage that we get and something we've played

921
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: in before, so um, we got to use it now

922
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: that we're used to it. It's it's like nothing but

923
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: m something that can't affect the game a little bit

924
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: more would be like harsh winds, rain, snow, stuff like that.

925
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: But um, we're as used to it as anybody, so

926
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: we'll be ready for it. This is our weather here,

927
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So good get those guys

928
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: down here and play play a great game. I think

929
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: right now, Um, we feel most of it would be

930
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: here Saturday is according to the model, like you know,

931
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: nothing as as big as what was last time, and

932
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: more of it on game day. So we'll continue to

933
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: track it, monitor it, you know, and hopefully hopefully we

934
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: can play this game here. I mean, they're gonna be

935
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: in the same conditions we're in. Um. You know, it's

936
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 1: not like every day we're out playing in six inches

937
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: of snow around here, you know. So I think perceptually

938
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: people get this perception of that we go out and

939
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: practice in the snow every day. Um. But um, you know,

940
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: we're just like I said, working on being focused and

941
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: and I'm proving as a team. I think it does. Um,

942
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: just like I said, understanding this is what it's gonna

943
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: be like it and even might be even a little

944
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: more cold, U more chili. So Um, we have we

945
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: have great our equipment. Guys do a great job of

946
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: getting us ready and getting us prepared to play in

947
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: cold weather games. And it's something that we embrace. Um.

948
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: You know, other teams might not like coming here and

949
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: playing in it, but as it is what it is,

950
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 1: and you know, we gotta deal with it. They got

951
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: to do with it, and it's gonna be fun. It'll

952
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: be fun matchup. I took my shoes off right now

953
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: because my toes are still frozen from practice. All right,

954
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: that is soundbits presented by Tim Horton's weather is certainly

955
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: a subject this week. And you know we had Micah

956
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: Hyde and studio here just last hour and he said,

957
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: when you are preparing for a game, you have all

958
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: the things you normally prepare for every week, but when

959
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: weather is clearly going to be part of the equation,

960
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: it's very close to the top of your priority list,

961
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: not only in terms of what you're going to be

962
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: dealing with, but what cleats am I going to wear?

963
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: You know, if it's a snowy field, what am I

964
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna do? You know that it's everything. How many layers

965
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: am I putting on? You can imagine that. Buffalo people

966
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: know this, and people who live in the cold weather

967
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,919
Speaker 1: know this. If your head is warm and your hands

968
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: are warm, and your feet are warm, you're pretty good

969
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: to go. You know. The problem is this, You got

970
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: football shoes on. They're not made to be warm, so

971
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: your feet get cold and your hands. You have to

972
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: use your hands on every single play, and you got

973
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 1: these thin little glove They get cold, so your feet

974
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: and your hands are cold, and your head you can

975
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: only put so much on under your helmet one, you know,

976
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: like a head sleeve or something, and that's just okay.

977
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: So as as warm as your body might be able

978
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: to be, you still feel really chilled to the bone

979
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: because your feet, hands, and head are cold. We had guys,

980
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: and you'll see it on the sidelines. They have those

981
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: turbo heaters that look like a great, big, long orange tube.

982
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: You stand at one into those and heat fires out

983
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: of it. You gotta be careful not to get too

984
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: close to those either. Yet we had guys melting their

985
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: shoes because your feet are so cold, you put them

986
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: up there to heat them up, and it gets so

987
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 1: hot so fast, and you can't feel it your shoes.

988
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: They had guys melting their shoes. So somebody had a minten.

989
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 1: They live on fire last year. So because you're so cold,

990
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: you can't feel the heat reaching you. So there you go.

991
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a problem. It's a problem, and we'll

992
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: see you gotta deal with it. Everybody's gonna have to

993
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: deal with it. Um, do you think the dolphins have

994
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: already lost the psychological battle if they're talking about it

995
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: all weeks? Wow, the dolphins. I don't. I don't buy

996
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: that really, because you know, every time any dolphin goes

997
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: to the podium. That's the question they're answering. So it

998
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: sounds like they're want they're talking about it, they're all

999
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 1: concerned with it, and in actuality, it's they're just answering

1000
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 1: questions it's been that have been asked to them. So

1001
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't feel like those guys are sitting down there

1002
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: laying awake at night worried about it, but they it's

1003
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: the lead story for this game. All of a sudden,

1004
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: as the game gets closer, nobody wants to talk about,

1005
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, the matchup with Miami defense and their secondary

1006
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: against the Bills passing game. And who's gonna be playing

1007
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, who's gonna be playing

1008
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: corner for the Dolphins, who's playing safety, what's their secondary

1009
00:51:55,880 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna look like? YadA, YadA, Yadam quinnin I mean, Chris Wilkins.

1010
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: All the stuff's going on, and all that's now pushed

1011
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: off to the side, and everybody's talking about the weather.

1012
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: So it's the story the game so far, and I

1013
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: don't know that they don't have a choice that they

1014
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: just got to talk about it. Why, whether they're concerned

1015
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: about it or not. Yeah, one thing that we neglected

1016
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: to mention at the top of the show, wanted to

1017
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: bring it up here. Basically, with the owners meetings, there

1018
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: were several things that they covered there, one of which

1019
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: was the formal approval of the new stadiums, one of

1020
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: which obviously is the Bills Stadium that's expected to open

1021
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. The Titans also have a proposed

1022
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: stadium that also was approved on their stadium related agenda,

1023
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: so they basically in essence, got the blessing of the

1024
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: owners behind closed doors, so that in addition to the

1025
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: extension of the Bill's lease at high Mark, it was

1026
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: set to expire for the start of next season, so

1027
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: they extended that as well. There were a number of

1028
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: stadiums around the league that also got approved for renovation costs.

1029
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are doing like almost three hundred million dollars

1030
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: in renovations and upgrades at AT and T Stadium, Denver.

1031
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: Broncos and the new ownership there, you know, the people

1032
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: from the Walmart group, they are doing one hundred million

1033
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 1: dollars in upgrades at their stadium. And then the Ravens

1034
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: are doing one point two billion dollars in renovations at

1035
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: their stadium. I mean, the Bill's new stadium is gonna

1036
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: be one point four. They're paying one point two just

1037
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 1: to renovate it. Well, these renovations are extensive. We've seen

1038
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: it here at high Mark two over the I'm sorry,

1039
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: I take it back. That amount is going to be

1040
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 1: split between Baltimore's the Baltimore Ravens Stadium and camped in

1041
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: yards for the Orioles. Sorry, you think about split and

1042
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: you think about it. Those stadiums you still kind of

1043
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: think of as being new for old guys like me.

1044
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah we were I was around when that thing was built,

1045
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, it seems new to me. They're great stadiums,

1046
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: no question about. They're located right downtown and you know

1047
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: there there centerpiece of the downtown there there. They share

1048
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: parking lots. It's it's a nice setup, no question about it.

1049
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money to be rent of just

1050
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: just for a new code of paint. Well, I think

1051
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 1: it's a little more than painting, obviously, better for that cost.

1052
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: One other tiny little tidbit from the owner's meetings, The

1053
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 1: league previously announced that the NFL Scouting Combine will continue

1054
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: to be run in Indianapolis in twenty twenty three and

1055
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, but for twenty twenty five and beyond,

1056
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 1: they're looking at other options. Peter O'Reilly, the NFL executive

1057
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: vice president of Club Business and League Events, said, Indie

1058
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: has been a great host, but it's our role to

1059
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: evaluate and look at the other options. So this has

1060
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: been roomed for a few years now. I remember, Steve,

1061
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: when we were there last year, people were talking wondering

1062
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: if it was going to be if twenty twenty two

1063
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: was going to be the last year in Indianapolis, and

1064
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: if it might be, you know, an event that's on

1065
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: the move. For the NFL, they're always looking to maximize revenue.

1066
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,240
Speaker 1: So if they feel they can move it somewhere else

1067
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: and generate more revenue dollars in whatever way, shape or form,

1068
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: they will do it. In fact, guess, in fact, I'll

1069
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: go a step further. If they can move it someplace,

1070
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: make it generate more revenue. They don't even care if

1071
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: if it they'll put it on the moon. Oh, they

1072
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: don't even Oh, and they don't even care if it's

1073
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: not even about football anymore, because they'll just send their

1074
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: scouts and everybody out to do their own thing. Anyway,

1075
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 1: it turned out. It was a way for them to consolidate,

1076
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,919
Speaker 1: get the book on these guys, get doctors, get get

1077
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: an objective set of doctor's hands on these guys relatively

1078
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: centrally located in Indian relatively And it was also a

1079
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: chance to get him out and just see these guys

1080
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: with your eyes and sit down with him. And now

1081
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: it's become about two things. One getting NFL doctor's hands

1082
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: on injured players in college, and the second one is

1083
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: sitting these young men down, looking him in the eye

1084
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: and asking them some pointed questions about their life, their background,

1085
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: their ambitions, and their football knowledge. That's what it's about.

1086
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: Nobody None of these teams care about forty times. They don't.

1087
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: It's interesting, it's fun and everything. But you've got guys

1088
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: like Brandon Bean up there watching Gabe Davis back in

1089
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: the day when he ran his forty time of the combine,

1090
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: cheering for him to run slow. He wants him, he liked,

1091
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: he already liked. He didn't care what the guy r in.

1092
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: He liked him, didn't and didn't want anybody to know

1093
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: how if he was fast. So that's what forty times about,

1094
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 1: they know, So if they can move the comb someplace

1095
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: where they can make it, you know another you know,

1096
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 1: umpteen million dollars. They're gonna move it. And they don't

1097
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: care if it makes it easier or harder to scout

1098
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:14,919
Speaker 1: these guys, if it makes more money, right, they don't

1099
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: care if they find out less about these guys and

1100
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: they're forty times because it's more it's about the medical

1101
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: and the interview process. That's it. They don't care if

1102
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: this guy could bench to twenty five thirty times or

1103
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: thirty two times. They really do not care. Right, So

1104
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: after this year and twenty twenty four, the Combine could

1105
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: very well have a new home location. But that's a

1106
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: decision to be made a little bit further down the pikes.

1107
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: So we'll find that out in due course. One other

1108
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: bit of news that we didn't get to and Steve,

1109
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: I know I talked to you about this before we

1110
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,439
Speaker 1: came on the air. Drew Brees. Former New Orleans Saints

1111
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: quarterback Drew Brees has joined the Purdue coaching staff as

1112
00:57:55,560 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: an interim assistant ahead of their appearance in the City Bowl.

1113
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: The school made the announcement today earlier today, and basically

1114
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: it's a situation where Breeze wants to come and help

1115
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: them with a transition with some coaching changes that are

1116
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: going to be happening. So he's trying to step in

1117
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: and support the program because head coach Jeff Bram left

1118
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: to take the head coaching job at Louisville. And you know,

1119
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: this is a good team. They made it to the

1120
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: Big Ten title game, lost to Michigan, obviously, but they're

1121
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: going to be in the Citrus Bowl and without their

1122
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: head coach who was their primary play caller. Also, Breeze

1123
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: is coming in to try to help in that area

1124
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: as they get ready for their Bowl appearance in a

1125
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Nice nice job by an alum. Absolutely,

1126
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: and that's probably what this is not. I don't know

1127
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: that Drew Brees has designs on becoming a coach right now.

1128
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he does. I think it's a gift

1129
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: to his alma mater one. I think it's an awesome

1130
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: chance for young guys in the college ranks to get

1131
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: to rub up against a guy who's done it at

1132
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: the highest level for a long time as a Hall

1133
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: of Fame type caliber player before he actually has even

1134
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: voted in tremendous You know, he's Drew Brees has tremendous

1135
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: cache in the football world for his throat, his career

1136
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: as a saint, and to go back and give that gift,

1137
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: the gift of his knowledge and expertise and his friendship

1138
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: to the university when he came out of is great.

1139
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: It's great. A couple of things I didn't know about

1140
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: Breeze's career. I wouldn't have guessed thirteen Pro Bowls, but

1141
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: that's how many he went to. And he was the

1142
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: first quarterback in NFL history to break eighty thousand career

1143
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: passing yards, the first Oh yeah, did that in twenty twenty.

1144
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: He's an altimer. It's pretty cool. He's an all timer. Yeah,

1145
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: they and obviously the one Super Bowl time, and he

1146
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't really get the respect, you know, that

1147
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: would be given to somebody that should be given to

1148
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: a guy of his caliber. Certainly Sean Payton gets some

1149
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: of the credit, but that's the way it is for

1150
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and head coaches. That kind of go hand in hand.

1151
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: And coaches can coach until they're seventy obviously, so um

1152
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: a player is a little bit more brief than that.

1153
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is Folks, if Drew Brees was an all timer.

1154
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: He came here to Buffalo, remember, and beat the Bills

1155
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: forty one, forty one, eleven forty six to ten sixty seven.

1156
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: Ten it was and it was not even close. And

1157
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: he didn't even throw that much he was. Yeah, he's

1158
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: an all time great, all time great, no question about it. Yeah,

1159
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: So good luck to him. That'll probably draw some more

1160
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: eyeballs to the Citrus Bowl. Like, oh, let's see how

1161
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 1: he does. I wonder, I wonder how he does. See

1162
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: how an assistant coach helping on the offensive side of

1163
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 1: the ball, presumably, So yeah, kind of a neat little

1164
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: twist to that bowl game, Citrus Bowl. I didn't even

1165
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: see who Purdue is playing. Um, but yeah, they'll be

1166
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: in the Citrus Bowl. And good luck to Drew Brees

1167
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: and his presumably one off coaching stint, and we'll see

1168
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: how Purdue does. I like the season that they had,

1169
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: it was actually good season. We got to get back

1170
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: to Bills Dolphins, and we are discussing things here about

1171
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: the matchup aside from the weather, and we're trying to

1172
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: ascertain what kind of defensive approach the Bills are going

1173
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: to take. My presumption Steve is that the Bills are

1174
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: going to do what they do. Leslie Fraser always comes

1175
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: back to that in the grand scheme of things, and

1176
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: I think much like the Niners stuck to what works

1177
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: best for them, I think the Bills will do the same,

1178
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: especially when you consider the fact that it's on a

1179
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: short week. You don't want to be reinventing the wheel

1180
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: in a short week in an important division game that

1181
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: you need to even your season series with this team. Yeah,

1182
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they don't think they're feeling like they

1183
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: need to reinvent the wheel, but they're you know, they

1184
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: there's always some pretty significant game change, game plan changes

1185
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: from week to week, and from the first meeting to

1186
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: the second meeting, Yes, and they'll be winding up for

1187
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: it even a little bit before, not too much, but

1188
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: even before the week begins, I mean late in the week,

1189
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: particularly with the practice squad guys and some of the

1190
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: guys who I don't just interact with the coach. Some

1191
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: guys just interact with coaches like that and they say,

1192
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: what about the Dolphins? What are be looking at? And

1193
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: they'll start thinking about it even then. So yeah, it's yeah,

1194
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: there's no need. Didn't reinvent the wheel. The Dolphins scored

1195
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: three touchdowns against the Bills and with only twenty minutes

1196
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: of possession time in the game. So while the billstill

1197
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: hold them off the scoreboard, particularly even with the turnover

1198
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: in their own end, deep in their own end, Dolphins

1199
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: have every reason to think they're going to be able

1200
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: to move the football on the Bills. And if there's

1201
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: something out there the Bills think they can use, there's

1202
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: absolutely no doubt they've already got it in the game plan.

1203
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Good news for the Bills. The injury report is out,

1204
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: and this is like a Friday injury report here on Thursday,

1205
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: so you have game designations and it's pretty clean for Buffalo.

1206
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Just Ryan Bates and Jordan Phillips out for this game.

1207
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: As coach McDermott explained this morning in a radio appearance

1208
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: on WGR as he does every week, everybody else that

1209
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: was working their way through some nicks good to go

1210
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: for the game. That includes Matt Milano, Reggie Gilliam, and

1211
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver. All three of them participated in practice, Gilliam

1212
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: and ed Oliver fully, Milano was limited, but none of

1213
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: them have an injury designation for the game. Saturday, night.

1214
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: None of them are questionable, none of them are doubtful.

1215
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,919
Speaker 1: None of them are out, which means they are good

1216
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: to go. So certainly some good news getting some more

1217
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,479
Speaker 1: players back in the fold. Oliver got nicked last week,

1218
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to be good to play. Gilliam

1219
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: missed last week's game with the ankle injury. He's back

1220
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: in the lineup and in a game that could have

1221
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: measurable snow on the field, you're gonna want to have

1222
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: your fullback, Steve. Yeah, Gilliam has been a nice player,

1223
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: He's caught some balls for him. Yeah, being as healthy

1224
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: as you can be as great. I'm I'm a little

1225
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about guys like Matt Milano,

1226
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about guys like Roger Saffold, and

1227
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, um, you guys who just kind of feel

1228
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: like they're just kind of making it work. You know,

1229
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: even Steph Diggs didn't practice to day. It's probably is

1230
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: a veteran rest day. Um. Yeah, all these guys, and

1231
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: I hesitate to talk about it because you just know,

1232
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: even the guys that aren't even on this list, who

1233
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 1: practice fully all week are just dragging around some steamer

1234
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: trunk of an injury that they're just they're just putting

1235
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: up with. It's not gonna it's just a you just

1236
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: play uncomfortable all the time at this time of year.

1237
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: It's just it's just SAPs the fun out of it.

1238
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: So it's huge that these guys are gonna be able

1239
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: to go. I applaud the team for giving them some

1240
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: time off and letting them rest it up, because, you

1241
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: know not, it wasn't so long ago when teams just said,

1242
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: you need to tape it up. We need you to practice.

1243
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: If you don't play patted, practice is kind of fall

1244
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: by the wayside this time of year. They just don't

1245
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: sist anymore because they've got to take the licks off

1246
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: the players. All Right, we gotta take a break here, though,

1247
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: because when we come back, the Hall of Famer is

1248
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: scheduled to join us. One Thurman Thomas coming up next

1249
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live, presented by Colloida Health. It's

1310
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: it'll be more like six usually three hours. It's no, no,

Speaker 1: teen lots. I mean true neighborhood neighbor. I love you.

1315
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: the great ideas. Man, Yeah, you already got a point.

1316
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Let me just say this. Let me just say this.

1317
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: I am. It's we're all lucky. I think Western New

1318
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: York's lucky that the weather is going to be so bad,

1319
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: because could you imagine if it was seventy degrees and

1320
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: Sunday this weekend, and you got a Saturday night game

1321
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: with Bill's with Bill's Country being able to go there

1322
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: all day, all Friday night, all day Saturday. That's not

1323
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: a good recipe, right, Um, that would be that would

1324
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: be that would be for everybody's liver. That would be

1325
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 1: exactly like a Lake Effects snow band right there. That

1326
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: would be just as much, that would rereak just as

1327
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 1: much havoc. So just to spell it out one more

1328
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: time for everybody. Delta Sonic in Lancaster forty eight seventeen

1329
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: Transit Road Depute, New York. Delta Sonics already contributed five

1330
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to the Thomas Family Foundation and four Compass House,

1331
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: so so good job on them. And this all goes

1332
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: to the Compass House right right, yes, ye, Emergency Shelter

1336
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: Hopefully the sleigh makes it in and then, as Thurman said,

1337
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to meet him and Patty and I'm sure

1338

Speaker 1: he'll be happy to take any in all pictures you

1339

Speaker 1: car washes. All right, so good luck with that event

1342
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Therm. Let's get to the game. Ye. Steve

1343
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: was referencing the Bills Dolphins game that you guys played

1344
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: in forty four thirty four, the final. There was some

1345
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: snow on the ground, but it was like a dusting

1346
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: divisional playoff made that old turf really slick. This new

1347
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 1: turf kind of holds the snow better, I feel. I

1348
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna change cleats for the guys

1349
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: if they have measurable snow. What did you wear if

1350
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: you ever played in measurable snow before Cleatwise, you're asking

1351
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: me a question that really can't answer right now because

1352
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:06,839
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have no idea, you know what, Brownie,

1353
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this. It wasn't like a

1354
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 1: special clique or anything like that. Yeah, I just and

1355
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, we're playing on really hard turf, So I

1356
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: was just basically wearing turf shoes. I didn't change it,

1357
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: have the spikes you know, longer or what have you,

1358
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: or thicker. I just wore regular, regular size shoes and

1359
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: regular sized flats and it worked out perfectly. Because I

1360
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: think this is an advantage for me, especially for a rent,

1361
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: because I know where I'm going, I know where I'm going,

1362
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I know what I'm gonna do. I know I'm gonna

1363
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: set up a guy. I mean, you've seen guys over

1364
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: the past years. I mean, look how great a game

1365
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy has in snow games, you know. And I

1366
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 1: don't think he changes any of his cliques or anything

1367
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: like that. So now I wouldn't change the thing when

1368
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 1: when I played, I didn't change the thing. It was

1369
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: different too, because and I was watching a little bit

1370
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: of that game. Somebody put it out over social media,

1371
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: and I went back and watched a little bit of

1372
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: the YouTube. But that game, the field was really really

1373
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: slippery all over the place, very slippery. This field is

1374
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 1: not going to be that slippery unless there's the snow

1375
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: will be slippery, but the field will not. That twenty

1376
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: seventeen game against the Colts, nobody was standing on the

1377
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: field because they were up on the snow, right. But

1378
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: this it's a completely different surface, and you'll be able

1379
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:28,520
Speaker 1: to see how it's gonna be because the new surfaces

1380
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: are so uniform that if it's slippery at one corner

1381
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: of the field, it's going to be exactly the same

1382
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: slippery on the other corner in the opposite corner of

1383
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 1: the field. It'll be interesting to see what is gonna

1384
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 1: be possible because depending on how the weather goes and

1385
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: what the temperature the area is, how much moisture and

1386
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: how much snow was the field frozen before they uncovered it,

1387
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: and then you know then the snow fell or was

1388
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: it warm under the tarp when they uncovered it. And

1389
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: because I'll make all the surface different too, you just

1390
01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: don't know until you go out there and start running

1391
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 1: around on it how it's gonna affect the game. There's

1392
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:05,640
Speaker 1: just no way to anticipate it, no way to anticipate it.

1393
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, whatever it's going to be,

1394
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are going to play an outstanding

1395
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: football game. I think they're they're ready to, you know,

1396
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: get on this second run of the season. I know

1397
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 1: they got hot last year, Like Bronnie said a couple

1398
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, they were seven and six at this

1399
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: point last year and they went on a run. They

1400
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,799
Speaker 1: got hot again, and I know everyone is kind of expecting.

1401
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to see him to score thirty

1402
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: thirty five points every single game, and it's not happening.

1403
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, they're winning the ways that Josh talked about.

1404
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: They're finding ways to win. And when you have a

1405
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: team like that, when you talk about the elements, they

1406
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: don't worry about the elements. They worry about going out there,

1407
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 1: executing the game planning and try to get another w

1408
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 1: to really get them going again. Because the offense has

1409
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 1: been sputtering the last couple of weeks, but they've been

1410
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 1: able to win football games. Right. The Dolphins have kind

1411
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 1: of hit the skids offensively the last two weeks. You saw, right,

1412
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 1: two different teams play them two different ways. San Fran

1413
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 1: mostly his own scheme. Chargers decided to go press Man

1414
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to show any fear. They press those guys,

1415
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: they shut off the middle of the field, and two

1416
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: have turned into a pumpkin in that game on Sunday night.

1417
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: What what do you think the Bills do defensively on

1418
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: a short week here, Therm. I mean, they probably just

1419
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: do what they normally do, right, I mean, they may

1420
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: take some elements of those two game plans, but they

1421
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,639
Speaker 1: kind of do what they do best. I guess, yeah,

1422
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: I think you won't see the Bills switch up or

1423
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: do anything differently. I mean, they played great defense all

1424
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: year long, all year long, and you know what, they're

1425
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: getting some guys back. You know, Trey White didn't playing

1426
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: this game last last time that they met. I think

1427
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Boyer was out too, So they had some guys though. Yeah,

1428
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: they had some guys who are out that are gonna

1429
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: be back on the fielding and I think that changes

1430
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: the dynamic of what the Miami Dolphins want to do

1431
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: because having Milano out there and having Poiler and having

1432
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 1: Trey White, I mean, those are key three defensive guys

1433
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: that you have to handle and coming off of the

1434
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 1: performers like they did last week against the Jets, and

1435
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: knowing that Miami has struggled in the last couple of

1436
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: I don't see them changing anything. I think the d

1437
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 1: line is still going to get out of the quarterback.

1438
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna get out the tour and like you said,

1439
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: the running backs are not healthy. So hey, I just

1440
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: think this is a perfect game for the Bills at

1441
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: this point to really really put some separation between them

1442
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: and the rest of the teams in the in the AFC. Right,

1443
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: and then you also, you know, you look at the

1444
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: conference race, because if they win this game, the division

1445
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: is pretty much sewn up. Because they'll go three up

1446
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 1: on Miami with three games to play, they won't clinch

1447
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: the division, but for all intents and purposes, it's right

1448
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: there for them. I mean, they'd have to fall on

1449
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: their face not to win the division if they beat

1450
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 1: Miami Saturday night. So then it becomes a question of,

1451
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 1: you know, keeping your foot on the gas to stay

1452
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: the top seed in the conference. Because we've heard them

1453
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: talk the last two years now in the off season

1454
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: when the year ends, we have to get home field

1455
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:17,639
Speaker 1: advantage in the playoffs the top seed has been critical.

1456
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,919
Speaker 1: I mean, wouldn't we all like to see Patrick Mahomes

1457
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: play a playoff game on the road for once? I mean,

1458
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: my god, for what it seems like he's he's in

1459
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City every single year that the playoffs start. Yeah,

1460
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and he got lucky last year because Tennessee.

1461
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee was the one seed last year, but they lost

1462
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, so then they were the two seed and

1463
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 1: they were all home games again, right, Yeah, Yeah, it's

1464
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: a big game. And I think our schedule I think

1465
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 1: you guys may have talked if I looked at it

1466
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 1: that you know, our schedule is a little bit tougher

1467
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 1: than their. Yeah, City's got one of the easiest. Yeah,

1468
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: got one of the ease. I think they played Denver

1469
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: twice twice, but yeah, they have at their schedule is

1470
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: not like ours. But I don't mind playing these type

1471
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: of games because it build's character, builds the strength or

1472
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 1: your football team. And you know, with Miami this week,

1473
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 1: Chicago next week, then you know, probably the biggest game

1474
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,520
Speaker 1: out of this besides of Miami game is the Cincinnati

1475
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: game because they're on a hot streak and you know

1476
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: they're right they're right on our tail and so and

1477
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: they've over the last four or five weeks, they've turned

1478
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: it up and they've won games without Jamar Chase and

1479
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: Angel Mixon. And that's Angel Mixon exactly right. So, I

1480
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: mean when they talk about Joe Burrows being one of

1481
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: the top guys in the National Football League, this is why.

1482
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean, because I think they were started off one

1483
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 1: and four maybe or somewhere around it. I mean, the

1484
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: first four or five games wasn't good for those guys,

1485
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: and they've turned it around. They've became one of the

1486
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 1: teams that are very, very hot right now. Yeah. The

1487
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: Bengals Jet, Yeah, they started out two and three on

1488
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: the season. Before they started yeah, so yeah, they were

1489
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: struggling out of you know, with a little bit of

1490
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: a probably a super Bowl hangover from from January. Give

1491
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: us an idea this this game. I mean, if and

1492
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,719
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about this's not gonna be perfect conditions,

1493
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,120
Speaker 1: how what do you think. I We had Micah Hyde

1494
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 1: on here a minute ago, and he were talking we

1495
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,480
Speaker 1: were talking about how each team you never it's impossible

1496
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 1: to predict these games because even the weather becomes a

1497
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: matchup problem for the offense or defense of whatever team

1498
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: is playing. So the Miami team in this kind of condition,

1499
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: which we don't know exactly what it's going to be,

1500
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: how they match up against the weather goes into the

1501
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 1: mix of how they match up with the Bills defense.

1502
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole new level of uncertainty about

1503
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: what this game is gonna look like. But what's your

1504
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: best guess as to how this game unfolds. I think

1505
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: the Bills win. I think the guy I think the

1506
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: guys up front, the offensive line, along with Dawson Knox.

1507
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: I think one of our running backs is gonna get

1508
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards. I think one of our running

1509
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 1: backs are gonna get over one hundred yards, and that's

1510
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: gonna really all dependent on the weather once again, really

1511
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:20,679
Speaker 1: carry us to VIC three. And if these two running backs,

1512
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: one of them get over one hundred yards and another

1513
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 1: one get fifty, get over one hundred and fifty yards

1514
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: rushing along with what maybe thirty to forty yards rushing

1515
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen, I think they win the game handily.

1516
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: Miami can't run the football. We're playing great defense right now,

1517
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: and if they want to try to run the ball,

1518
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they will be able to. So I

1519
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: see the Bills winning this game handily. I really do. Okay.

1520
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:45,760
Speaker 1: And the Bills, by the way, the only team in

1521
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League to run for at least a

1522
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: hundred yards or more in every game this season, the

1523
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:55,839
Speaker 1: only team to do that. We've gotten this far, thurm.

1524
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: And we haven't talked Cole Beasley. John Brown comes in

1525
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Cole Beasley's in now. They're both on

1526
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: the practice squad, but they could be called up at

1527
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: any given time for a game day. Brown has been

1528
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, has played sparingly. What do you

1529
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 1: foresee as Cole Beasley's role going forward here? Do you

1530
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 1: see him as a minor role player or something bigger?

1531
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: I think it's something bigger. I absolutely do, because if

1532
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: Brown and Tasker, if you look at the beginning of

1533
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:31,719
Speaker 1: the season, hey man, Devin Singletary had about what thirteen

1534
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,719
Speaker 1: fourteen catches. After two games, they were doing the short

1535
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:37,719
Speaker 1: passing game, and all of a sudden, they started opening

1536
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:39,719
Speaker 1: up a little bit more and you and you haven't

1537
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: seen that since. And I think that's the reason why

1538
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: Cold is back. I think he gives you another element.

1539
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: But just we always we thought that Jason Crowder was

1540
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 1: going to be that guy. Jamison Crowder thought he was

1541
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: going to be that guy, but he's been hurt and

1542
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: we haven't found anybody to have that slot. I love

1543
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, but I want him on the outside. I

1544
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 1: want him on an outside stretching the defense defense along

1545
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: with Gabe Davis, so to have that element right there

1546
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 1: with Cold Beasley. And he's been in this offense for

1547
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, three years. I know some terminology probably has

1548
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: changed from Debo to to Dorsey, but I think bringing

1549
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: Cold back and I'm glad they have a conversation about

1550
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 1: the other things that happened once he left. And hey,

1551
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: I think the Bills right now are doing everything that

1552
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: they possibly can to win a Super Bowl for the

1553
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 1: city of Buffalo. And if it takes Bratt bringing back

1554
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, these guys are ready for the long run.

1555
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: How likely you think it is that Beasley can walk

1556
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,679
Speaker 1: off a pickup basketball court and play in the NFL team,

1557
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't know how that's going to

1558
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 1: turn out. Tasks, You're exactly right, but I know that

1559
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: they can't run the no huddle really really fast. I

1560
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: think it's one of those games where you know what,

1561
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: you let him get his legs underneath them. You know,

1562
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: he did play two games in Tampa Bay for the

1563
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and then tired. So hey, I think the guy,

1564
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, he stays in pretty good shape. I know,

1565
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: basketball and football two different sports. But I think, you

1566
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 1: know what, he would not have taken off this opportunity

1567
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: to come back if he wasn't in shape, in some

1568
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 1: type of shape, right, yeah, I agree, Well you think

1569
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. I how good it is. I mean,

1570
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 1: they can they'll get a feel for it during this week.

1571
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean he came in on Monday, Monday night, and

1572
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 1: it's a short week, so I think the real the

1573
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 1: only thing you fear, I think is an injury. Yep,

1574
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: because of the intensity of the game and all that

1575
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: he'll he'll he'll pop a spring because you know, he

1576
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:46,680
Speaker 1: just hasn't been able to run that with that much intensity,

1577
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: and he pushed himself and the worst thing that can

1578
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 1: possibly happen. I was telling Brownie this this morning, what

1579
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: will probably happen. You can just see it happening. The

1580
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: unthinkable happens. He gets in, they're gonna put him that

1581
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: he plays for a minute, he gets a snap and

1582
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's nobody around him. He's and

1583
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,440
Speaker 1: he has to run sixty five yards for a touchdown,

1584
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: and you know, and he blows a hammy because anybody

1585
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: expected him to be that open, right, I mean, that's

1586
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: what happens these guys. The most unbelievable thing happens where

1587
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna win the game, and because they didn't believe it,

1588
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 1: he pops up, pops a hamstring because he got so open. Yeah. Yeah,

1589
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: I really do think that he's him back into it.

1590
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want Cold basically come out here

1591
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: and play sixty or seventy plays. I don't think that's

1592
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But to have him out there for at

1593
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: least half of those, maybe thirty thirty five plays, I

1594
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: think that's a good number for him and just you

1595
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:38,680
Speaker 1: know what, just work himself into football shape for the

1596
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Now. Obviously, I think with him

1597
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 1: being there, there's gonna be a lot of those you know,

1598
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: second and second and three situations. And I think that's

1599
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: the reason why they're they're bringing it back because we've

1600
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: had a long couple of games now where it's been

1601
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 1: third and long and we haven't really picked up that,

1602
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: and so I think they want to get back to

1603
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 1: second and three, second and four. Having a lot more

1604
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: options win us that short therm. I don't know if

1605
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:05,879
Speaker 1: you're aware of this, but the Dolphins defense does not travel.

1606
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: They give up fifteen points a game at home, thirty

1607
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: one points a game on the road. Now, Steve went

1608
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: down the Steve went down the schedule, and granted they

1609
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 1: have played a few tougher teams on the road than

1610
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 1: at home, but it's not a clear like, oh my god,

1611
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: they played the Sisters of the Poor at home all

1612
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: season and they played Juggernauts on the road. It's not

1613
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 1: a uniform list, but that's a two touchdown difference, therm.

1614
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: What is how do you? How do you square that? Yeah?

1615
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, Brownie, that's yeah you like you said,

1616
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: it's two touchdown. It's not like it's seven points, three points,

1617
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: so sick, it's fourteen points and that is a lot.

1618
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: And like I said, I don't know who they played

1619
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 1: on the road and really don't care for it, but

1620
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: you know what, they're on the road again, and it's

1621
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: my point. I think, yeah, right, yeah, So hey, look,

1622
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 1: the only thing that I'm looking for I'm looking for

1623
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia to go crazy at this game. I mean,

1624
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 1: I think the fans will be a part of it.

1625
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna look into the stadium and be like, these

1626
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 1: people are coming out here is raining and snowing, and

1627
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 1: they still feel to fill the stadium. That's where we need.

1628
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: That's what we need. We need that energy for the offense, defense,

1629
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: that specialty. All right, So I was saying this too.

1630
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: Is this a game term? So to say it turns

1631
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 1: into the worst possible weather conditions. Is this a game

1632
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: where you either a have to be at the game

1633
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be one of those games, or be

1634
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 1: absolutely watch it from home because you want any part

1635
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: of that game? Which is it? Until the forecast. Until

1636
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 1: the forecast came out, I was on, I'm there, But

1637
01:25:53,600 --> 01:26:04,879
Speaker 1: now I'm fifty fifty. At least he's honest. Yeah, So

1638
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: so you know, I was glad that they didn't call

1639
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 1: me to be like the legend of the game, so

1640
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: I would have denied them of me going out of them.

1641
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: But I'm fifty fifty man, I'm you know, I'm not

1642
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 1: as old as your tasking. But it's cold weather man

1643
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: and snow and all this. It takes a lot out

1644
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 1: of you. And then you know the game is an

1645
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: eight fifteen a night. I mean that's it's cold. That's

1646
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:32,639
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah. Readym's ready to take a nap at ten,

1647
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 1: so I mean he might name get to the second half.
