1
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live, presented by called Light of Health.

2
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: All right, here we are on a Thursday, One Bills

3
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Live is your programs first round. Steve Tasker with you.

4
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: What ready to go? Here? As the team is back

5
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: on the practice field, the base is pumping about fifty

6
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: yards from where we sit is. Yeah, it's a warm,

7
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: sunny day out on the in mid November. Oh my god,

8
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: practicing outside breaking a sweat. No less, get your last

9
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: doseph Vitamin D, which we don't get nearly enough of

10
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: in the wintertime with all these gray days we get,

11
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: So give me some. Yeah. I went out there. I

12
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: was soaking it all up, even though my dermatologist might

13
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: not be happy about it. It didn't have a hat on.

14
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: But there's ten minutes sunscreen in November. You know you

15
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: need I was. My wife sent me this. You know,

16
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: you get stuff that you see on the internet, you

17
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: send it to your spouse and we're like, hey, check

18
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: this out. This is pretty interesting. So vitamin D is critical,

19
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: like you really need it for your body. And when

20
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: you have vitamin D deficiency, your chances of cancer and

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other things go up. And so

22
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: it's like, well, dang, how do we win that battle?

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Because you don't want to get skin cancer from too

24
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: much UV sun exposure. But at the same time, the

25
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: sun provides you with vitamin D that your body needs.

26
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: So where's the balance there. Take a supplement? Yeah, well

27
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: I do take a daily vitamin and so yeah, take

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: a supplement that. And I'll say this my you know,

29
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: my daughter lives in Alaska. Not a lot of sun

30
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: there this time. Yeah, sunrise is a you know thing

31
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: of the past. Uh, it's a big deal up there.

32
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: They yeah, they everybody takes vitamin D. You have to

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: got to you get to win or you got four

34
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: hours a daylight. Right, it gets light and like an

35
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: anchorage where she's at. I think we've been up there.

36
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: It's a bunch o summer is great, twenty hours of daylight. Right,

37
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: we get up there and it's it gets light at

38
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: eleven am. Dark at three pm. Oh my gosh. And

39
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: the light, the light when you say it's light, it's

40
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: like it looks like dawn. Yeah, it looks at dawn

41
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: or dusty one or the other. But the other end

42
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: of it, the other end of it. So it's eleven

43
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: thirty at night because he's got blue sky, I know,

44
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: but so tell me, so is the sun just low

45
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: on the horizon? Well, it comes at four hours such

46
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: as never high in the sky, right, it comes down

47
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: at an angle, so it never you know, like during hozon.

48
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: It's like in the summertime here in western New York,

49
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the sun drops down at such an angle. When it

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: hits sunset, it's dark in like ten minutes up there

51
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: it it starts to get dimmer like, and then two

52
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: hours later it's still kind of daily you know what

53
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean. It takes a long time dark when it's

54
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: long hours, right, But in the winter, is the sun

55
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: just skimming the horizon for those four hours it drops down,

56
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: It drops down just below the horizon. Then it comes

57
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: right back up in the summer, and then in the

58
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: winter it it never reaches above the It just the

59
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: whole thing is never above the It does, but it

60
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: barely gets up there and then it goes back down.

61
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: You know. I couldn't do that. Yeah, it sets, would

62
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: make the sun rises the light The sun rises in

63
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: the southeast and sets in the southwest. Man. You know,

64
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: it's just so, it's just I don't think I can

65
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: do that. It's yeah, i'd I'd have to bust it

66
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: to the equator. It's rust I would that would not

67
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: make it. Yeah, so it you know, at noon, it's like,

68
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, what is it like? Couldn't do it seven

69
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: thirty at night. But I'm not and I'll say this though,

70
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a seasonal depression guy either. But that might

71
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: that might get Here's the thing too, though, that might

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: get me there. Another thing about it is that it

73
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: moves fast. So up there, there's like five minutes of

74
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: difference between like the day's five minutes longer, a five

75
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: minutes shorter every day, yeahs half an a half a

76
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: week is like a half an hour, it seems like, right,

77
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: or like ten days, it's like a half an hour

78
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: difference in the sunlight one way or the other. Even

79
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: six days. Yeah, so half an hour you're losing every day.

80
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: And at certain times of the year that daylight changes

81
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: to darkness or darkness turns to daylight fast, and it

82
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: grows and shrinks real fast. So it's you know, it's

83
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: interesting in that way. Is it's a tough road to

84
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: hof for me. I mean, I think I would come down.

85
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I'll say this though, Browning you've heard

86
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: me talk about it. It is spectacular up there. Oh,

87
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: it's spect It's the final frontier spec it really is.

88
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: It is Man. That's when you are you want to

89
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: colonize a planet, that's the one you want to call it. Well,

90
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: it's just there. Just dropped me in that. It's just awesome.

91
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: There are areas of Maine that are that Christine and

92
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: untouched too, and it's great, like trees right down to

93
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: the Waterloode Islands the same way, trees right down to

94
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: the waterline. You don't see that in too many parts

95
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: of this country anymore, that's right, But in Alaska and

96
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: in certain areas of Maine, and probably some other areas

97
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: familiar with the West coast of Canada is like that.

98
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: Maybe the northern reaches of Minnesota up into the you know,

99
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: up into where Juno is, where you got the island.

100
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that region they call it.

101
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: It's beautiful country. It's spectacular. It's it warms your heart

102
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: just to look at it. It's pretty cool. But you

103
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: gotta lived through a long night to get there. Bron

104
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: It gets light next month so we can see the

105
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: scenery a night. I'm not willing to undertake at least

106
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: full time anyway, might go visit for a little bit,

107
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: but oh it's the best. I recommend it, I really recommend.

108
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm Nelson. I'm a big beach guy, like Hawaii. I've been,

109
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, all the Pro Bowls. I went to Hawaii, Florida,

110
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I lived in Texas for a minute,

111
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: you know when it was with the Oilers. I'm a

112
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: big Sunshine fan, beach guy. You head up there. Yeah,

113
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a different vibe. It's awesome. I get it.

114
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: We have to get you practice updates. Bill's practice Updates

115
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: are presented by Lee com Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine,

116
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: and it begins with Josh Allen, who during the media

117
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: viewing portion of practice was not out there participating. So

118
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: once again, it looks as though case Keenum will be

119
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: taking all of the first team reps in practice again today,

120
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: so we'll wait on the Thursday injury report for official word.

121
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: But Josh was not out there at the start of practice,

122
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: so it tends to look like he will not be

123
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: participating for a second straight day due to his right

124
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: throwing elbow injury. And I guess it's good from the

125
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: standpoint of again, you're giving case Keenum all the first

126
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: team reps, so if he's playing, he's all the more prepared.

127
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Maybe we get some more clarity on well. We will

128
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: get more clarity tomorrow on where Josh stands, because that's

129
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: when designations for Sunday's game will come out. Is he doubtful,

130
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: is he questionable, is he going to play, or is

131
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: he out. We'll get one of those designations when the

132
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Friday injury report comes out tomorrow, but we'll get an

133
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: update today after practice is over. Among the other developments

134
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: at practice, on the good news side of the Ledger,

135
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: you had Matt Milano out of his red non contact

136
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: jersey and practicing today, so hopefully he's doing more today

137
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: than he did yesterday now that he's out of that

138
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: non con tach jersey. So too was Dane Jackson out

139
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: of the non contact jersey, so that was good. Roger

140
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Saffold back at practice after a veteran rest day, so

141
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: too was Von Miller, so good on those fronts kier Elam, however,

142
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: not practicing today. He was out there doing stretch, but

143
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: he was in sneakers, no helmet, and he went off

144
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: to the side with athletic trainers dealing with an ankle

145
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: injury that he suffered in last week's game against the Jets.

146
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: Left the game for a period of time, did come

147
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: back and finish, but is on the injury report this

148
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: week with an ankle injury and not participating today. He

149
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: was listed as limited yesterday, so that's right. He might

150
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: have taken a step back or maybe getting an idea

151
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: of when he could be ready, and they taken today

152
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: off and then come back tomorrow kind of thing. We

153
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: don't know how they planned on playing the week out,

154
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's possible. It's possible we did a

155
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: step back, you know. Maybe he works out on the

156
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: ankle and practice on Wednesday and it swells up overnight,

157
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: it's back off, and maybe today is just as limited

158
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: as he was yesterday. Maybe he didn't do too much

159
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: yesterday either, although I thought he had clatso on yesterday,

160
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: But I don't know. We'll see Jordan Poyer not participating

161
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: again today due to the elbow injury. He's on the

162
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: side riding the stationary bike, so there's that. And Steve

163
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: help me out with Tremaine Edmonds. I forgot to look

164
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: for him. I did not recall seeing him. Did not

165
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: see him, So I believe he is going to be

166
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: on the side as well. But we'll wait for the

167
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Thursday injury report for confirmation of that. But I did

168
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: not see him out there as marked down, So there

169
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: is that. That is pretty much your practice update at

170
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: this point. Got to go around the NFL a little

171
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: bit here, Steve. Obviously we have Thursday Night Football, which again,

172
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: unfortunately is not exactly a barn burner of a matchup.

173
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: Once again, I got you gotta wonder what the folks

174
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: at Amazon are thinking. I know, overall they're happy because

175
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, their subscriber base went up like twelve million. Yeah,

176
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: since the start of the season. But Falcons Panthers like

177
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: four and five against two and seven. I mean, the

178
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: Panthers might be the worst team in football. Might be Yeah,

179
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: I'll just call it right now. Panthers are looking for

180
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: a head coach. The guy that threw the first touchdown

181
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: in the history of the franchise would be a great candidate.

182
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Frank Reich would be a great look at you, delving

183
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: back into the history of the Carolina Panthers would be

184
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: a great candidate. And I'm sure there are others as well.

185
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: Not a bad idea, Steve. He's available for an interview too,

186
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: I heard. I'm just saying I haven't talked to him.

187
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: I have not talked to Frank roll Um, but I've

188
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: relayed some messages through guys that have been in touch

189
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: with him, because I don't want you know, I'm the

190
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: last thing he's getting besieged, right like with yea, with

191
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: all the friends, With all the friends that he has,

192
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: guys like Frank get a lot of well wishes when

193
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: stuff like this happens to him. Yeah, uh, because he's

194
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: a great dude. And he's a great dude, and I

195
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: think and even his players probably reached out to him

196
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: and said, hey, thank you for everything you did. And

197
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: knowing Frank, I know this too, the guys probably he's

198
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: still rooting for that team. He's still pulling for all

199
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: these relationships with a lot of guys on that staff.

200
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: That's right, so um, and a lot of those guys

201
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: owe him a debt of gratitude for giving him an opportunity.

202
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: So all of that. I'll bet he got a I'll

203
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: bet he got a text from Eberflus, head coach of

204
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: the Bears, because you know, Eberflus was hired by Josh

205
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: McDaniel and kind of forced on Frank, and I talked

206
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: to Frank and those two guys, Heberflus some Frank got

207
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: along great. He said, he knew five minutes into the

208
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: first conversation they had that they were gonna be fine,

209
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: and they had a lot of success there together. So

210
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: guys like that around the league reach out. You know

211
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Ken wizzen Hunt, who Frank worked four and with with

212
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers, all those guys on the Philadelphia guys, you

213
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: know Peterson, all of those guys I know probably reached

214
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: out to Frank and said, hey, bro, I've been there,

215
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, especially guy like Peterson. So yeah, it's way

216
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: too early in the conversation to think about these spots.

217
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: But Indianapolis is gonna be looking for a guy, so

218
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: is Carolina, and there's gonna be a few others as well.

219
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna be looking for head coaches that we don't

220
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: know about yet, right, we can only guess. Steve, I

221
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: have to tell you, this might be my favorite story

222
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: of the week, maybe the entire season, and not surprisingly,

223
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: it includes the Patriots. Bill Belichick admitted to the media

224
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: that the Patriots unintentionally were tipping off their plays. Colts

225
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: and the Jets in two of the more recent games,

226
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: knew what was coming pre snap on offense from the

227
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: Patriots offense, and they were calling him out. C J. Mosley,

228
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: the Jets linebacker, he was calling out Patriots plays based

229
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: on certain tells across the front of the formation, whether

230
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: it was alignment with his hand, light on the ground, whatever,

231
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: it was, somebody's with a foot in a certain way.

232
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: They look for these little tells when they study film,

233
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: and C. J. Mosley found some. The Colts found some,

234
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,479
Speaker 1: and they were calling out the New England Patriots offensive

235
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: plays before the snap happened, and they were right a

236
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: good portion of the time. And all I have to say, Steve,

237
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: is this karma is a you know what because the

238
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: team that was long accused of improperly filming other teams

239
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: practices to get a handle on their plays are now

240
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: having it done to them. If the shoe fits, baby,

241
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: oh well, I love it. Brownie pumped the brakes. The

242
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: Patriots won both those games. Yeah, I don't care. I

243
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: don't care. I just want it done to them so

244
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: they know what it feels like. They won those games.

245
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: The other care knew they were going. What are they

246
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: That's the only reason they beat the Jets was because

247
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson was a tire fire at quarterback with three interceptions.

248
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: All right, maybe, but still, I mean that's they still

249
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: won those games. That's the that's the bad part. I

250
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: just wish it would have cost him a game or

251
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: two that would have been more delicious. Yeah, and that's

252
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: what that's probably the karma here is just so fantastic.

253
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: That's probably the only reason Bill Belichick fest up because

254
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: they still won those games. Um, but that's yeah, that's

255
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a problem. That's a little bit

256
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: of a problem tipping your plays at least what happens

257
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: is Yeah, what happens isn't if they know exactly what

258
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: happens is usually on those things by a set or

259
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: what and sometimes you get more information than you do others.

260
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: But the defensive players will say, hey, listen, the guard

261
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: is pulling or the time, so they'll give them an

262
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: idea of at least what that guy's doing. Maybe not

263
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: on the play. It could be play action rather than

264
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: a real running play. But all of that said, you know,

265
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: it's bad that's a problem, and it's not our problem.

266
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: That's they have been. They have been. Just give me

267
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: more of it, more and more and more, and still

268
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: they're five and four. They are the best team ever

269
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: at call it what you want, spying, espionage, whatever, knowing

270
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: more about the other team than any other team is

271
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: about their opponent, whether they film some of that film

272
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: their opponents, practices, steal their game plans, pirate their defensive signals, uh,

273
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: eaves dropping on their electronic communication. The electronic communication, yeah,

274
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: with the on off switch whatever. They have been at

275
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: the forefront of that for a couple of decades now,

276
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: and when teams finally got to the point and that

277
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too, that's why. That's why guys

278
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: boomerang out of there. They go out there, get a

279
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: coaching job someplace, it doesn't go as well because they

280
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: aren't doing the same thing that Patriots are doing. They

281
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: just boomerang come back, and you know, it's the circle

282
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: of trust. Josh McDaniel is going to be coaching for

283
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots next year. Probably, you know, they're just you know,

284
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: probably Mark Davis is like going, why what's the problem here?

285
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Why why aren't you you know, what what are you doing?

286
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: Get out? So yeah, it so just have this accusation

287
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: leveled at them, or at least come back to him

288
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: like this. You're right, it does taste pretty good. It

289
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: doesn't taste good. Matthew Stafford a surprise addition to the

290
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: Rams injury report this week, got put in concussion protocol

291
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, which is kind of a weird time for

292
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: something like that to happen. They played four o'clock game

293
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and sometimes it takes twenty four hours for

294
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: concussion symptoms to arise, and so my suspicion is concussion

295
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: symptoms show up Monday night. They put him in the

296
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: concussion protocol Monday night, but they don't really tell anybody

297
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: until they meet them, meet the media on Wednesday, and

298
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: then he's on the Wednesday injury report and concussion protocols.

299
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: That's that's my suspicion. That's the best case scenario for them. Yeah,

300
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: sect the next best or what the could be worse?

301
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: He says, Listen, I'm this ain't going away. I got

302
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: a headache and it's bothering me, and they're like, going dope,

303
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: put him in the Yeah, then they got to put

304
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: him in the protocols. Well, they put him through a

305
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: series of tests, baseline testing, and it's like, oh, you

306
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: know what, you do have a concussion, got one some

307
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: maybe it's a mini one or whatever, but the results

308
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: of the testing then show you're not at your baseline left.

309
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: Then they didn't put him in until Wednesday. And if

310
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: that's the case, you got a hard time making it

311
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: the game. That's true. Yeah, but if it was a

312
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: Monday evening situation, because I've seen it. I've seen it

313
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: here with players over the years. You know, I remember

314
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: the running back that the Bills had here, the Williams

315
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: kid from Florida State. Oh, Carlos, Carlos Williams. He had

316
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: a couple of hard hits in the game, was productive,

317
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: comes out of the game, and then all of a sudden,

318
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 1: we're talking to Rag Monday afternoon, like the coaches usually

319
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: meet to me, and he's like, oh, we had to

320
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: put Carlos Williams in concussion protocol because he got up

321
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: the next day. He was like whoa, yeah, And sometimes

322
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: that happens, those concussions symptoms show up twenty four hours later.

323
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: It is not uncommon. Like I said, I had a

324
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: number of concussions during my career, and mine were not

325
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: like that. I knew when I got mine, Yeah right away. Yeah,

326
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: somebody knew because I don't remember, right, because they could

327
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: tell and uh, he's had a brain in. In fact,

328
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: I Billy Brooks knew the moment had happened. He goes, hey,

329
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: you all right, and I go yeah, yeah, he goes

330
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: and he's like, get him off. He's like taking. I'm

331
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: like like why why you know? They take me over

332
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: to the sidelines, started asking me questions. You don't know

333
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: where you are and what the score is? Well, that's

334
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: the thing. I went back in because I answered the

335
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: questions fine. And then a play and a half or

336
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 1: two plays later, Jim Jim's guys can hand on my shoulder,

337
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: going to get me, get him out because I was

338
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: asking him like what what kind of what play is that?

339
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: And he's like going, what we only run about twelve

340
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: of them. You've known that play for fifteen years, you know,

341
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: for a decade, right, Um. Yeah, So then I had

342
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: to come off and I didn't play the rest of

343
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: the night, and there were conversations and I didn't remember

344
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: parts of the conversations later on, so that it does

345
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: take a minute sometimes. Isn't it crazy how one part

346
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: of your brain almost takes care of the other. You know,

347
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: it's almost like much like you dude here with me.

348
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: That was good. Yeah, that was That was very quick witted,

349
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: Steve right making fun of something that isn't uh no

350
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: like it. I gotta believe that there are sometimes where

351
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: there are parts of your brain that are like, we

352
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: got a little deficiency over here, let's take care of that,

353
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: and they pull more. Part of your brain pulls more

354
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: weights sometimes, and it's I think some of it too,

355
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: is you're fighting against it. You know, you're fright against

356
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: it somehow subconsciously you don't want anything to be wrong.

357
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: You're trying to you're trying to function normally right, and

358
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: you act and certain certain cues about conversation stuff just

359
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: kick in and you do it automatically whether you're whether

360
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: it's conscious or not. So it's easy and we make

361
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: we used to. Everybody was up in arms over the

362
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: two of concussion in the first first game against the Bills.

363
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: It just kicks in, man, It's instinctive. Yeah, sometimes it's

364
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: not the best thing for you. We saw earlier this

365
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: week the Raiders clipped Jonathan Abram, their safety off the roster,

366
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: former first round draft choice, and the Packers claimed him.

367
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: They have injuries in their secondary, so they need help.

368
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Might not hurt to have a guy with a little

369
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: bit of attitude too. I mean, Jonathan Abram plays like

370
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: Ronnie Lott does. I mean, he reckless, throws his body

371
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: around the field. He has been injured because of it.

372
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: Be interesting to see how they fit him in on

373
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 1: that Packers defense going forward, because that team, unfortunately has

374
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: had their transmission in reverse for a few weeks now.

375
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: They are three and six with very little margin for error. Yeah,

376
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: they going forward, and they just placed their tight end

377
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: Darren Waller on injury reserve for a month. The Raiders did.

378
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: The Raiders did? Yeah, I was talking about the Packers.

379
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: They've had it in reverse for a month now. Both

380
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: those teams are going the wrong direction. Yeah, and did

381
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, was there an update on this? Did

382
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: the Washington DC Attorney General make their major announcement yet?

383
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: I have not heard that, and I have not been

384
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: because the Commanders could be facing civil suit charges not yet,

385
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: not yet. Okay, so nothing's come out yet from the

386
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Washington DC Attorney General. Apparently there there could be some

387
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: civil suits coming involving ticket deposits against the commanders for

388
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: a legally holding fan ticket deposits when they wanted them back,

389
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: or I don't know what all the rules are. Each

390
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: team is different with that stuff. We've also seen reports

391
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: of financial improprieties by the Washington commanders. I don't know

392
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: if that is part of this investigation by the Washington

393
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: DC Attorney General. We all make fun of the owners

394
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: in our own way, because you know, they're all these

395
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: guys with you know, this cash. This is about the

396
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: toxic work culture. But apparently Attorney General Carl Racine has

397
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: just released a statement. The evidence they have gathered shows

398
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: mister Snyder was not only aware of the toxic culture

399
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: within his organization, he encouraged it, participated in it, he

400
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: dictated everything. So he is being cast as the ringleader

401
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: of the toxic work culture. So based on the testimony

402
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: of some of the women that used to work for

403
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: that franchise, that's probably not surprising if you read some

404
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: of their testimony. So our good friend, off we go,

405
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: and not surprisingly, the franchise is reportedly looking into potential

406
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: sale options. This is surprise, surprise, It's not good our

407
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: friend of the friend of the show or Mondo Salgaro

408
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: from Miami Racenes also OutKick dot com. Yeah, national time,

409
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: he's making he's making out the race scene. The Attorney

410
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: General is also making allegations against Goodell and the NFL

411
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: and about misleading the public. Oh, because they had knowledge

412
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: of those improprieties. Yeah, just what doesn't matter doesn't really

413
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: say in the report. But Goodell and the NFL are

414
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: going to be obviously implicated, which doesn't surprise you, and

415
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: something of this. And then yesterday, knowing this was coming down,

416
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: the attorneys for the Washington Commanders organization unnecessarily through the

417
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: Washington d C. Police Department under the bus criticizing their

418
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: handling of the Brian Robinson shooting incident that left a

419
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: Washington Commander's player, their rookie running back, Brian Robinson, with

420
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: three gunshot wounds to his leg and missed almost half

421
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: the season. They started criticizing them for that it's completely

422
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: unrelated to the Attorney General's investigation. But it was basically

423
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: throwing irrelevant stones at Washington DC law enforcement. And while

424
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: the team president for Washington Commanders said it was misplaced

425
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: and out of character and out of line. That comment

426
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: or that statement made by the attorneys for the Washington

427
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: Commanders reportedly has ticked off the players. So the players

428
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 1: who all season long, under the guidance of Ron Rivera,

429
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: have kept these off the field distractions out of their play,

430
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: it's over now. They are ticked that they dragged one

431
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: of the players into this stuff. And so they're the

432
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: players on the Washington roster feel that Brian Robinson was

433
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: unnecessarily mentioned in the whole legal battle that's going on

434
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: off the field, and they are now hot. They're not

435
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: going to say it publicly, maybe to the media, or

436
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: maybe they will, we'll find out after practice today, but

437
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: they are not happy that the attorneys for the Commander's

438
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: organization have pulled Brian Robinson situation in unnecessarily to a

439
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: battle with the Washington DC Attorney General. So it's going

440
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: to be very interesting. But the wheels are the wheels

441
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: might not be off yet, but they're wobbling. They're wobbling

442
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: right now. Right, it's getting bad. It's gonna get and

443
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: this may this may be really ugly. Oh it's it's

444
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: gonna get worse before it gets and it's gonna spread

445
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: as far as they can take it to spread, and

446
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: I think everybody, Um, yeah, the ag the Attorney General

447
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: is gonna want the League to divulge the report that

448
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: they had that they that they snuffed, the oral report

449
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: that they got about the Washington workplace. And this is

450
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with them, the stuff we

451
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: were talking about by the financial improprieties, this is all

452
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: toxic workplace environment. So it'll be and you know, obviously

453
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: the League is going to be accused of hush hushing

454
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: it and not giving it enough light of day. The

455
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: three words of the Attorney general statement, he Snyder dictated everything.

456
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: And that was the general belief all along that Daniel

457
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: Snyder was an owner who ruled with an iron fist.

458
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he was like Stalin with that organization. So

459
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: to think for a second that he wasn't aware of

460
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: the toxic work culture is is insane. Of course he did.

461
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: He had his fingers in everything that that organization did.

462
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: So this statement from Attorney General Carl Racine doesn't surprise

463
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: me at all. The evidence showed there's this statement. The

464
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: evidence shows mister Snyder was not only aware of the

465
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: toxic culture within his organization, he encouraged it, participated in it,

466
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: he dictated everything that is pretty a pretty damning statement

467
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: based on the information that they found. So that is

468
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: around the NFL, which is brought to you by Kalida Health,

Speaker 1: always in Week ten is the one and only ESPN's

481
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: Field Yates, Field, let's go Week ten. We're on the

482
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 1: back stretch here for fantasy football leagues. You only got

483
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: a few more weeks before, you know, playoffs and everything. Yeah,

484
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: and I think Brownie, this is at the time of

485
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: the year where daily fantasy becomes even more popular because

486
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: you got a couple of teams who are at the

487
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: bottom of their season long standings, and you're saying to yourself,

488
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: all right, this team, ain't it. It's time for me

489
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: to turn my focus to twenty twenty three, but also

490
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: to my daily fantasy lineups. Let's dive right into it.

491
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: Let's begin with a quarterback. And I want to note

492
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: something that I always send these lineups early in the week,

493
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: so we have to monitor health reports throughout the week.

494
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: My quarterback for this week it's Kyler Murray, priced at

495
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: seventy eight hundred dollars. And yesterday Wednesday, the Cardinals did

496
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: not hold a practice. They held a walkthrough, but on

497
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: their projected practice report, Kyler was listed as a DNP

498
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: with the hamstring injury. Now, just about ten minutes ago

499
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: before this segment, they did hit the practice field again

500
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray was out there. So look at soul minute. Yeah. Anyways,

501
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: it's what's all about right here. So Kyler sounds like

502
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: he'll be potentially available for the Cardinals on Sunday against

503
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. And the important part here for

504
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: Kyler is that he has been running a whole lot

505
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: more recently and not all of its design runs, and

506
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: maybe they limit those a bit if this hamstring injury

507
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: lingers into the weekend, But some of his scrambles are

508
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: so valuable seven point eight carries per game over the

509
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: past three for Kyler Murray. He slots in as my quarterback,

510
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: and you think of the projected points of twenty point

511
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: about twenty points? Is that enough of and you think

512
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: he can overperform on that against the Rams? I think so.

513
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance for it, Steve. And you

514
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: know the Rams have been really good in limiting opposing

515
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns this season, other than the second half against

516
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: the Bills all the way back in Week one. We

517
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: saw it last week. You know, Tom Brady literally needed

518
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: what fifty nine minutes and fifty nine seconds to score

519
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: a touchdown through the air for the Bucks. But Kyler

520
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: can do so much damage with his leg and I

521
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: think it makes it a worthwhile play there at quarterback.

522
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: And we can bring that right to the running backs,

523
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: where I think there are some interesting names this week.

524
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: Start with Travis Etn for the Jacksonville Jaguars has been

525
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: on a terror of late eight thousand dollars is the

526
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: price that's gone up a lot. They traded the way

527
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: James Robinson, and even the week before James Robinson was traded,

528
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: he had zero, count them, zero total touches in a game.

529
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: A player that as an undrafted rookie had over a

530
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: thousand rushing yards has all of a sudden become or

531
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: had become a non factor for them, then it gets traded.

532
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: And drivi Ctn has been just exceptional over the past

533
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: four weeks, one of the league's best rushers. Not a

534
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: ton of passing game volume, but with the way that

535
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: he's running the ball right now, too good to ignore.

536
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: David Montgomery right behind him, and Montgomery for the Bears

537
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: price a little bit lower than we'd seen him in

538
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: the past, sixty seven hundred dollars, and Montgomery faces off

539
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: against a Lions defense that, contrary to what you saw

540
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: last week against the Packers, has actually been really good

541
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: season really bad this year. So I think that the Bears,

542
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: who all of a sudden have themselves a very intriguing

543
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: young quarterback in Justin Fields, will be able to move

544
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: the football effectively against Detroit in the game that I

545
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: think Chicago can certainly win. Right, So I'm guessing the

546
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: fact that it's Detroit's defense who hasn't been able to

547
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: stop a clock is what convinces you Rodgers, Yeah, well right,

548
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: it convinces you to start Montgomery. Even though Khalil Herbert

549
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: at times has been a little bit of a volume

550
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: of ulture for him, right, he has been Yeah, you're right.

551
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: But over the past couple of weeks, we've seen the

552
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: snap share drift way back in the favor of David Montgomery.

553
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: While I was getting closer to fifty fifty, over the

554
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: past two weeks has been a two to one split.

555
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: David Montgomery is the guy, clearly the guy, and I

556
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: think that'll be the case again. I don't know if

557
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: that's as simple as David Montgomery as a superior player

558
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: in their eyes, or let's a young team as a

559
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: matter of fact, nothing they have necessarily Josh Allen, but

560
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: I think the way that they're going about this kind

561
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: of reminds me of one Brandon Bean took over as

562
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: the head coach with Sean mcderoy as the GM. With

563
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermoty as the head coach for the Bills, he

564
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of had to move on from some overpriced or

565
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: high prized veterans to acquire some draft capital, and it

566
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: was short term pain for long term gain. And one

567
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: of the things that was always steady in Buffalo was

568
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: the locker room in the culture. And David Montgomery is

569
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: a respected leader there. I don't know that if you

570
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: just make him a backup or a bench player, it

571
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: goes over well for a team that I think needs

572
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: to hold on to those good vibe in the locker room. Well,

573
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: let's go on and move down to your list of

574
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers and it starts, of course with Cooper Cup.

575
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: Is uh, yeah, we've got I see a lot of

576
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: Arizona La ram on this list. You get plenty of

577
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: this game. I feel like the AF the NFC West

578
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: has led us to a lot of games so far

579
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: this year. But Cooper Cup, you can't price him high enough.

580
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: There really isn't a number that's too high for Cooper

581
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: Cup or Tiree Hill right now with the way that

582
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: they are putting up numbers over twenty points per game.

583
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: For Cooper Cup, yes, he's priced at nine thousand and

584
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 1: two hundred bucks, but Arizona could well be without Buddha Baker.

585
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: They're all pro safety and you know certainly if Matthew

586
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: Stafford's out, it dampens my view a little bit of

587
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: this Rams offense. But everything funnels for Cooper Cup He's

588
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: wide receiver, one wide receiver two same game. Rondille Moore,

589
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: who's got eight plus targets three of us past four games,

590
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: really good after the catch, and the Rams defensively are good.

591
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: One area they've struggled though, is containing players after the catch.

592
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a randomness issue, whether it's

593
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: a beat issue, whether it's a tackling issue, but they

594
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: have not been nearly as good after the catch on defense,

595
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: which is why ron Nel Moore fits nicely. And Donovan

596
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: People's Jones has been a nice player for the Cleveland

597
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: Brown especially over the past five games for them. He

598
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: has really emerges their number two wide out David and

599
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: Joe who is out for Cleveland. He would be the

600
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: number two pass catcher in this offense. And Miami's got

601
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: some good personnel, but if you go back and look

602
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: at the numbers, guys, their defense has just been awful

603
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: this year in terms of fantasy football, especially against opposing quarterbacks.

604
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: How to quarterbacks normally score a lot of their points

605
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: and throw the football Dotton people's jones could benefit from

606
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: a favorable matchup against the Dolphins, all right, And then

607
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: one more swing at this Rams Cardinals game at the

608
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: tight end position's right back to the zach Ertz Well,

609
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: who's been really solid this year amongst tight ends, one

610
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: of the very best, one of the very few, averaging

611
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: over ten Fantasy points per game is zach Ertz, and

612
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: he has emerged as a go to target for Kyler

613
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: Murray again. This Rams defense talked about it after the catch.

614
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: Zach can add some value after the catch as a runner.

615
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: I like him here, you know, you kind of because

616
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: there's no Mark Andrews. You kind of have one high

617
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: priced ted end this week that's really worth it, and

618
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: that's Travis Kelsey. But you're gonna have to find some

619
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: value there instead, which is why you head to zach Ertz.

620
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: And also, we just got news not long ago that

621
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: Darren Waller going to ir so you get another reasonable

622
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: worthwhile tight end not available this week, and he and

623
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: you round it out with a flex position with a

624
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: wide receiver and Jerry Judy and the Denver Broncos. Yeah,

625
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: Jude's kind of a better of late. He has seemingly

626
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: found his footing. And this Broncos offense obviously has been

627
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: really really bad this year. But the Broncos play on

628
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Titans, and the Titans Chiefs game was

629
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: ridiculous this past Sunday night. I mean, just a nail

630
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: bier and they went to overtime. I have no idea

631
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: how Tennessee kept it that close, but defending the past

632
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: has not been their strength. It's really, really really surprising

633
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: that that game was just twenty to seventeen. A good

634
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: match of beer for Jerry Judy, who has a lot

635
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: of talent just to click. Not much as click for

636
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: the Broncos offense. But perhaps that changes on Sunday coming

637
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: out of their by all right, and then we wrap

638
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: it up with a defense that has a favorable matchup, Yeah,

639
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: favorable matchup here for the Saints play the Pittsburgh Steelers,

640
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: who coming off their bye week. Maybe things change a

641
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: little bit. Mike Tomlin seems to be suggesting that the

642
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: biggest changes are really just like doing things better, not

643
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: necessarily changing things up. So the Saints at thirty nine

644
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, they're a jackal and high defense. A couple

645
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago, they shut out the Raiders, who I think

646
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: I would argue have much more talent than the Steelers

647
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: do on offense when you factor in Derek carrs compared

648
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: to Kenny Pickett. And yet this past week they didn't

649
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: do much against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. I did.

650
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: They'll look more like the version we saw against the

651
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: Raiders two weeks ago facing off against Pittsburgh. So they

652
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: get the nod there on defense at thirty nine hundred dollars.

653
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: Who knocked it out of the park fantasy wise? Last week?

654
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: Was there any player that emerged out of nowhere that

655
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: Joe Dixon? Yeah, I don't know about nowhere because obviously

656
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: Joe has been he's a known player. But he had

657
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: the I believe it was eight most Fantasy points ever

658
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: in a game, fifty five point one for Joe Mixon,

659
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. He was excellent on the ground, excellent through

660
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: the air, and you know, to be honest with you,

661
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't been that great this year. If not for

662
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: his volume, might have been nearly as highly ranked as

663
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: he was. But last week he did the inverse right.

664
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: He was super efficient, even like more way more so

665
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: than he had been all season, so nice of Joe

666
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: to flip the script. Unfortunately, you 're not going to

667
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: have him this week because the Bengals are on thereby,

668
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: But I feel like after what he did last week,

669
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: he's probably earned that time off. All right, Field, thanks

670
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: as always for help here in week ten. We'll catch

700
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,279

705
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: from Von Miller, Stefon Diggs, and others following Wednesday's practice.

706
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: As they reacted to Wednesday's update on Josh Allen's elbow injury.

707
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm excited for those guys. I'm excited for the opportunity.

708
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited for case if he if he has the

709
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and play of Josh can

710
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, tough a out and played it. I'm excited

711
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: for him too. So and it doesn't matter who we

712
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: got out there. I got belief in all of those guys.

713
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: He's day to day and the next question will be

714
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: is he gonna play? And the answer as we'll see.

715
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: Um So, based on the medical report that that we have,

716
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: Josh's day to day, we will see how he does.

717
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: We use common sense and obviously we factor a lot

718
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: of things into the medical report being one of them,

719
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: and our doctor's wisdom and knowledge. We know he's gonna

720
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: be doing everything in his power to get back on

721
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: the field. Um. We don't have any details about injury

722
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but um, we know he'll be

723
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: back as soon as possible. He's a dog, you know,

724
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: that's a great word for him, because he's gonna be

725
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: in that training room twenty four seven doing everything he

726
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: can to get back on the field, and um, from

727
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: what I can tell, he's he's in a pretty good mood.

728
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: You take a look deeper look at it, and and you know,

729
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: you see to play at the end of the game

730
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: where he got hit his arm, and you say, okay,

731
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: yeah he you know, he's battling with some stuff right now.

732
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: But you know, Josh has seemed the same. You know,

733
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: he's seemed he's the same a Will Ferrell that uh

734
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: uh that I've known since I first got here. You know,

735
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: he's still got his energy up. Still, he's not down

736
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: walking around with his lip pope down or anything like that.

737
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: Like everything seems normal here. And you know, we're just

738
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: taking one day at the time when we just had

739
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: to see. He's just a tough day result guy. And

740
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: I'm letting him playing the Salt as even as he

741
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: as he can. And uh, right now I'm taking snaps

742
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: with Case and and uh, Josh is a competitive sucker,

743
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: tough sucker too, And we'll see what happens come up Sunday.

744
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: We can't change the standard. You gotta play up to

745
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: the standard. You gotta do your job, I'm saying. And

746
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: I've always lived in the above of farming your own land,

747
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: and they say do your one eleven. So no matter

748
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: how you dress it up, guy's gotta play well. You

749
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: gotta do a job and you gotta perform. Josh makes

750
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: this makes the wheels a little bit more greased. Of course,

751
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: you know what what I'm saying, because he's just he's just special.

752
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: So it's just like, uh, of course it's it's not

753
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: it's not even easy when he's out there. You know,

754
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm saying things things, things do happen out there when

755
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: he's out there. So he did make There was a

756
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: load of grease. But they gotta turn all right. That

757
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: is soundbits presented by Tim Horton's gotta go to the

758
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: phones though, as we're asking you with Case Keen and

759
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: practicing for a second straight day with the ones, what

760
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: do you think the bill's chances are against the Vikings

761
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: if it is in fact Case Keenum. Starting at quarterback

762
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday, we go to the phones and leading us

763
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: off today is Jack and Ken Moore. What do you

764
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: got for us? Jack, you're on one bills live. Okay,

765
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: there's a couple of questions I'm going to ask you

766
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, mister taster too, because he played the game.

767
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: If our defense plays great, okay, we have a chance

768
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: to win this game. If they don't, we're gonna get bet.

769
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: But maybe this is a blessing disguised because they're gonna

770
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: cut back that offense, maybe run the ball a little

771
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: more short passes. But we're losing Superman. So I want

772
00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: your answer here, mister Caster and mister Brown. Okay, hey,

773
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: thanks for the college jack Jack. I agree with everything

774
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: he said. If the defense can win any game they want,

775
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: if they you know, get some turnovers and you know,

776
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: defensive touchdown and all of that stuff. Yeah, absolutely, no

777
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: question about it. And we are losing the best player

778
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: in the league, no question. Josh is a great eraser.

779
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: If anything bad happens on a play, Josh has the

780
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: ability to like make it, okay, get a first down,

781
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: make it a touchdown? Uh that can. That is awesome

782
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: for a team to have that guy. Sometimes that does

783
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: work to your detriment because guys start to depend a

784
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: little bit too much on the guy with the cape um.

785
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: That won't happen. If Jas is playing this week, the

786
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: urgency to correct mistakes isn't as great because the play

787
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: what turned what would have been a real issue in

788
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: a film study and they're like, hey, you can't do this,

789
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: you gotta fix this, you gotta that turns into a touchdown.

790
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: It's hard to beat the guy up on a play

791
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,959
Speaker 1: that went for a touchdown when an actuality, they should

792
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: have gotten beat up a little bit for the way

793
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: they took the rep That agency kind of goes away

794
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: when you got a guy like Josh Allen taking snaps.

795
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: So the team gets into a place where certain parts

796
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: of it atrophy because they've never get tested because Josh

797
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: is so good. Maybe there's a little bit that going on.

798
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: It can I've seen it happen in other times when

799
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: I've said this before. I don't know if I said

800
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: it yesterday or whatever, But their teams, like when I

801
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: was with CBS and doing games around the league all

802
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: the time, you'd see a guy like Peyton Manning or

803
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, some of these quarterbacks, and

804
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, Pat Mahomes certainly does it for the Chiefs.

805
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: In this day and age, they're so good that certain

806
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: flaws in the team's roster never get exposed and the

807
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: team never really sees it as an urgency to fix.

808
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: So when the guy gets plucked out of there, like

809
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: the like Tom Brady in New England or Peyton Manning

810
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: with the Colts. With the Colts, you know, they get

811
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: into a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos and Peyton

812
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: Manning and they're just and they get their heads handed

813
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: to them. With one of the all time great offensive

814
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: performances during the entire year that the Broncos put together

815
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning at quarterback, one of the all time

816
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: juggernaut seasons of an offense got crushed, got crushed in

817
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl because one of their weaknesses that Peyton

818
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: Manning had covered up all year got exposed. The Seahawks

819
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: crushed him with a four man rush they had no

820
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: answer for. And stuff like that happens in the league.

821
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: And you look at the Bills and Josh is so good.

822
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: When you take him out of there, you might find

823
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: out where you know, they need to fix this, and

824
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: they really never even had it exposed before. I don't

825
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: know if that'll happen, but it could. I agree with you, Jack, though,

826
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: I think the defense has to play their best game

827
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: of the season if case Keenum is at quarterback, and

828
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: that means probably holding the Vikings to about fourteen points,

829
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: which is just above their season average. You know, they're

830
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: allowing fourteen point eight points a game. I think they

831
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: got to be right there around fourteen because I think

832
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: case Keenum is good enough to get you seventeen maybe

833
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: twenty well with it unless unless you get a couple

834
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: of big scoring plays from your defense or your special team.

835
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: If they spot you seven, maybe you can get it.

836
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: It's it's a game that you really need to win

837
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: the turnover battle. That's one of the things you can

838
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: take away from Minnesota that they've thrived on. They are

839
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: plus big on plus six on the turnover ratio, so

840
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: that helps an enormous amount. That's why they beat the

841
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: Dolphins down in Florida was the turnovers. You can't turn

842
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: it over. Case Kingdom knows that, and so do the

843
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: running backs, so that'll be an issue as well. So, yeah,

844
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: if your defense plays great and you don't turn it over,

845
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: this is going to be a close game, and if

846
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: you don't have the lead, you're gonna have a chance

847
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: to win it at the end. Let's go to Ron

848
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: and Bradford next. What do you got for us? Ron?

849
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's life Chris Steve, are you doing good? Hey?

850
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: I say we've surrounded Josh with lots of talent up there,

851
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: and I say our defense stands up and we win

852
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: twenty one ten. And I look for him to run

853
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: the ball heavy. Okay, running game, You're you're going to

854
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: see more of it in your eyes? All right, that's

855
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: fair enough for on. I mean, I suppose it's possible.

856
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: I think this team might be throwing the ball a

857
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: lot to their running backs. I don't know if they're

858
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: gonna be running at thirty times a game, if the

859
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: scheme remains largely the same. If they yeah, if they

860
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: come out and run the football well and predominantly, yeah,

861
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: I gotta say I'll be shocked. Well. I will say

862
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: this though, and we talked about this when we were

863
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: standing out there watching practice. Dalvin Tomlinson is their best

864
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: interior run stuff or the defensive tackle, and he's got

865
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: an injury that's got him week to week and it

866
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's going to get back for this

867
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,479
Speaker 1: game after missing last week's game with an injury as well.

868
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 1: If he's out of the equation, that certainly helps. Yeah,

869
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: that leaves that leaves them, That leaves the Minnesota Vikings

870
00:48:53,800 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: with Harrison Phillips as the nose tackle with Tonga behind him. Kiers,

871
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: I'm Kylers. I don't know how you say his first name.

872
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: Tonga as their backup Dalvin Thomlinson a defensive end. They

873
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: run that four to three like Pittsburgh Steelers. That's going

874
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,479
Speaker 1: to be an issue. That three four a three four

875
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: a three four defense, that's going to be an issue

876
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: because you don't see it that often. But yeah, Tomlinson

877
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: being out, that's an issue for Minnesota's run defense. Yeah,

878
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: it's an issue. We have to take a break here.

879
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: When we come back, we are going to talk more

880
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: Vikings as we are going to be joined by former

881

Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you. One Bills Live is the show,

888
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: and we are talking about the bills chances if in

889
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: fact case Keenum is your starting quarterback on Sunday? Can

890
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: let us know what you think? There, we're waiting to

891
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: catch up with radio color analyst for the Vikings radio network,

892
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: Pete Burstage, former Vikings linebacker. But while we wait for him,

893
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: let's take a quick phone call as we go to

894
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 1: Patrick in South Buffalo. What do you got for us? Patrick?

895
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: Here on one bills Live? Patrick? Are you there? Oh? Patrick?

896
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: I gotta put you on hold because you're listening to

897
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: your radio and not your phone. We move ahead to

898
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: Earl in Wellsville. What you got for us? Earl? You're

899
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: on one bills Live, Well, hold on. Hey, I tell

900
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: you I've been hearing a lot of this poor animalists

901
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, how they're cutting the bills down

902
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: on being number one and all that, and uh, he

903
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: really kind of ticks me off because Casey is not

904
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: a bad quarterback, and he's pulled it in other games. Uh,

905
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: he's had situations when in the past where he had

906
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,720
Speaker 1: to run for his life. But if our mind blocks

907
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: and gives him the time like they have for Josh,

908
00:51:54,840 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: and our defense plays the game, we're gonna win this game. Yeah,

909
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: that's the ideal. Yeah, the defense has to show up.

910
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: We've kind of Steve and I have already discussed that

911
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, and thanks for the call, earl.

912
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: Time time for case is going to be important because

913
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: while he can move around, he doesn't have the mobility

914
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: of Josh, who has Steve pointed out earlier being the

915
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: great eraser. When the pass protection sometimes is suspect, he

916
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: erases that and goes and makes a playoff script. Keenam

917
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: can move around a little bit, but not the same

918
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: way that Josh can, so that will be a difference.

919
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: The thing to keep an eye on this week is

920
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown. He returned to the practice setting in a

921
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: limited capacity yesterday. He was dressed again for practice today.

922
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: Hopefully he does a little bit more today because if

923
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: you can get him back in the lineup to get

924
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 1: up over there on that right side, you know, with

925
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: his length and being able to steer guys around the

926
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: pass rush arc around the pocket, that would be a

927
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: welcome presence on that offensive line on Sunday. If in fact,

928
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: Keenam's distorter right, then they're going to have to have

929
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: a game plan. That's Taylor de Keenan, that's on Ken Dorsey.

930
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: We'll see if he can get that done. Um, no question.

931
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: But Zadarius Smith coming off the edge is going to

932
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: be a problem for the Bills offensive line. He can

933
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: really go either. Denil Hunter is really good as well.

934
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: So they've got some edge guys as most three four defenses. Doe.

935
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be a test. But I'll

936
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: say this, They've got everything to play for, no question about.

937
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,919
Speaker 1: I think about this. What would the NFL landscape look

938
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: like if the Bills win by like ten points over

939
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: a seven and one Vikings team with their backup quarterback.

940
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: That's a statement game. Yeah, that's a statement game. There's

941
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: no denying it that. If you can pull that off,

942
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: it's there's a huge carrot out there for the Bills

943
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: to play for the rest of the roster. I'm talking about,

944
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: to play for in Josh's absence, and it would say

945
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot about it, which is also why it's really

946
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: a daunting task. Vikings are a really good football team.

947
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: They're well coached, they're playing on an uptick, they're playing

948
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: with confidence. Kirk Cousins is an established guy in their

949
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: in their organization. They got weapons on the outside. Their

950
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: defense is playing really good opportunistic football. They're getting a

951
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: lot of turnovers and they're doing a lot of things right.

952
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: They got Dalvin Cook who's playing well and people have

953
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: been talking about how and I don't know if he

954
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 1: might have lost the step. Yeah, and the guy snaps

955
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 1: off of sixty five yard touchdown run against the Dolphins,

956
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,720
Speaker 1: so after breaking a couple of tackles. So the Dolphins,

957
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings are really really good football team. And it's

958
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna take all hands on deck, even with Josh Allen

959
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: in that lineup. And of course they've not only have

960
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: to have hand all hands on deck with Case Keenom

961
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: at quarterback, but they're all hands on deck. Have got

962
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: to play their best. So that's what you're up against.

963
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: There's no you may as well not sugarcoat it. It's

964
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough game with Case Keenom playing quarterback.

965
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough game with Josh Allen playing quarterback.

966
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: Don't This team is seven and one for a reason, right.

967
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: I think the hope is that the defense can get

968
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: a little bit healthier so they can play their as game.

969
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: And so it's certainly good news that Matt Milano and

970
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson are out of red non contact jerseys, so

971
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: hopefully they're up and it'd be nice even if he

972
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: plays a little bit this Sunday Tradavious White. If he

973
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: can return to the lineup and give them something on

974
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: the back end, that would be a welcome edition as well.

975
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: But let's go back to the phones and we go

976
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: to Jim in Hilton. What do you got first, Jim,

977
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: you're on one bills live good afternoon, gentlemen, first time caller. No,

978
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: thanks for doing it. I think the offensive line and

979
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: the defensive line play up to their potential. With emphasis

980
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. You have to give Case time

981
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: to look over the field, not make him carry the

982
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: team on his back, which has happened to Josh on

983
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: several occasions in the past. Yeah, thank you, Yeah, no problem.

984
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: That's you know, it's like coach McDermott says all the time,

985
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 1: it starts up front and you know, the defensive line

986
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: to him, and when I was talking to him in

987
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 1: the locker room after the game last week, said we

988
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: didn't tackle well enough. That's on us. And so they're

989
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: going to be motivated to play a much better game

990
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: this week with a team that has a much better

991
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: back in Dalvin Cook and a quarterback that usually gets

992
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: it out fast and Kirk Cousins and then the offensive line.

993
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they were all that happy with the

994
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: lack of traction they got in the run game, aside

995
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: from Josh who, as we know, ran for a thirty

996
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: plus yard touchdown. But aside from that, there was very

997
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: little to take from Buffalo's running game last week against

998
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: the Jets. They're going to be motivated to play better

999
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 1: as well. We have on the line with us to

1000
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: talk more Vikings now, former Vikings linebacker current radio color

1001
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: analyst Pete Bursts joining us. How we knowing, Pete. Good

1002
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: to have you doing great. How are you guys doing okay? Great?

1003
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on with us. What's the vibe like?

1004
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: What what's the vibe like in Minnesota? You guys, you

1005
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: gotta be sitting feeling really good about a seven and

1006
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: one record, and you know, the way the team's playing,

1007
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 1: it seems like a really well rounded roster and they're

1008
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: playing well in all phases. Yeah, they you know, they

1009
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: really are. And uh, you know the teams won six

1010
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,959
Speaker 1: in a row, all by one score, which is which

1011
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: is a complete and total one eighty from what we

1012
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: had experienced a year ago when we had lost almost

1013
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: a record number of games by one score or less. Um, Yeah,

1014
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: they've they've played well enough to win and they've hung

1015
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: in there. Um, you know, can they play better? Absolutely?

1016
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: We have to keep You have to remember we're still

1017
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: offensively learning a new system, new scheme. Defensively learning a

1018
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: new system and a new scheme. And so, you know,

1019
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: I think expectations going in um have been exceeded. You know.

1020
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: You just you want to put yourself in a good

1021
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: position to make a run late in the season. Obviously,

1022
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: winning the divisions the fastest way into the playoffs, and

1023
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: they've put themselves in a great position as of right now.

1024
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, now, I think for the fan base and

1025
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: for most people, it's kind of a waiting seed. These

1026
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: next two weeks will be a good litmus test for

1027
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: this club to see exactly where we are. What did

1028
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: you make of the remarkable cram session that TJ. Hockinson

1029
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: had last week in four days? I mean, you just

1030
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: talked about it. It's a brand new system that guys

1031
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: on the roster have been getting used to since May.

1032
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: This guy drops in out of the sky via trade

1033
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: and in four days knows enough of the system where

1034
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: he said he felt comfortable in the huddle on every

1035
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: single play. Kirk said, he's not looking at him like

1036
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: he had seven heads in the huddle and he's got nine.

1037
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: He's got a nine catch day. He was instrumental on

1038
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: that final drive too. He was and he by no

1039
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: means played perfectly either. There were some things that one

1040
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: on that you know, blocking and schematic wise, that he

1041
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: could do better. I think the ad of TJ. Hockinson

1042
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: is good for this team for a number of reasons.

1043
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: And yes, you know he's still learning the playbook, but

1044
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: kind of like what you guys have experienced, it's it's

1045
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, you have Josh Allen and you have Stefan Diggs.

1046
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: You know we have Justin Jefferson and Kirk Cousins and

1047
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: I think early on Philadelphia, even Detroit early on with

1048
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: a with Okuda, who's a really really good cornerback for

1049
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: a young player. M just playing just jamming and just

1050
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: being able to jam, play man or jam and have

1051
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: a safety over the top, and a lot of that

1052
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: has you know, two man is a big, big coverage

1053
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: for that, and you can't play two man when a

1054
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: quarterback is scrambling, right, Justin Fields will never see that

1055
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: coverage because as soon as he sees it, he can

1056
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: just pull that thing down and run till he hits

1057
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: his head on the goalpost. Josh Allen doesn't see a

1058
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: lot of it because he's such a great scrambler, but

1059
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: we can see it because Cousins is not a scramble guy.

1060
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: He is a throat, you know, he's not, And he

1061
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: doesn't really scramble to extend play as much. He doesn't

1062
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: run the football. So with all the attention going to Jefferson,

1063
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: we finally have another guy underneath who can win those

1064
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: matchups consistently. Whether it's against a linebacker or a safety.

1065
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: It's hard to double team two different guys at the

1066
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: same time. And yeah, Justin's gonna beat you deep, and

1067
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you want to make sure that

1068
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: he's the quickest way to die metaphorically speaking. And um,

1069
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, Hockinson I think's gonna get a lot of

1070
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: attention because he fills that specific need in this offense.

1071
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: Give us an idea of what Kevin O'Connell has been

1072
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: like for this team. I know he's probably a big

1073
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: switch from Mike Zimmer obviously, but you know Kevin O'Connell

1074
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: first year in there, the new system, new culture, knew this,

1075
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: knew that, and man, it's hard to it would be,

1076
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: you'd be hard pressed to get off to a better start. Yeah,

1077
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: I think you really have to give a lot of

1078
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: credit to the general manager, Quasy Adolphoamenza for putting this

1079
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: group together. You know, Kevin's out there and and he

1080
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: just he's a completely like you said, he's an offensive

1081
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: mind and a coach. Zimmer was a defensive mind, a coach.

1082
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: You know, um Zimmer had the grumpy gene. You know,

1083
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: this guy is new, he's young, he's fresh, he's all

1084
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: those things. And I know, going into the season, we're

1085
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: all saying, oh, this is great, but you know, wait

1086
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: till we hit the bump in the road, wait till

1087
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: something goes some wrong way. We stubbed our toe against Philadelphia,

1088
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: but since then, you know, have rebounded. But there's a

1089
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: different energy, there's a different, different level of everything in

1090
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: that respect, and I really had to give him a

1091
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: lot of credits since we didn't have many you know,

1092
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: many of our starters didn't even play in the preseason

1093
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: and come out against Green Bay and play as well

1094
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: as they did, UH physically UM finishing games. That the

1095
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: conditioning that these guys are in, the attention that they

1096
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: pay to UM physical conditioning and and upkeeping UM staying healthy,

1097
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: all those different all those different things. There's there's a

1098
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: there's a plus. There's a million things that a head

1099
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: coach is responsible for and has to keep his finger on.

1100
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: And I think he's done. He's done a wonderful job.

1101
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,959
Speaker 1: He's a great community cat, he's just a great guy

1102
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: to be around. And you know, we're around him in

1103
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 1: a limited basis with our jobs. But as a player,

1104
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: you couldn't ask for more. You couldn't ask for more

1105
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: than having a head coach that you just enjoy being

1106
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,959
Speaker 1: around and being coached by. And you know, I think

1107
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: overall he's doing a wonderful job. One thing that kind

1108
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: of sticks out on the stat pages, Pete is the

1109
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: Vikings last in the league and red zone defense. Now,

1110
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: in their defense, they've got like a they've allowed a

1111
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: league low nineteen red zone possessions, so they're not letting

1112
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: teams down there all that much, but when they do,

1113
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: teams are putting it in the end zone. Seventy nine

1114
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Is there anything that has stuck

1115
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: out to you when they're defending that area the field

1116
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: that even seems problematic. No, I think it's a little

1117
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,439
Speaker 1: we're a little different down there. We don't we don't

1118
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: blitz as much. That's a lot. It's a part of

1119
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: the field where you see a lot of zero blitzes

1120
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: and teams doing those kinds of things, you know, just

1121
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: tightening coverage up, so to speak. Um this coverage, this

1122
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: defense really does a great job of letting the pass

1123
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: rush do its deal and then having the guys behind

1124
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: him capitalize on it, and the two really go hand

1125
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: and glove. And when you get down in that red zone,

1126
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: it's a different you know, different set of coverages, different

1127
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: group of coverages. You don't play middle clothes a lot,

1128
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: some mental errors, I think, if if coming to play,

1129
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: But it's it's kind of hard. It's it's hard to

1130
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: really put a finger on exactly what's going on down there.

1131
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: They just have to, especially on the coverage side, I think,

1132
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: tighten things up quite a bit. So the Bills come

1133
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: in to this game perhaps and we don't know for sure,

1134
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 1: we have no idea what's gonna happen. But Case Keenum

1135
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: maybe the guy taking snaps. He'll be out throwing to

1136
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: Steph Digs in this game. You've got Dalvin Cook and

1137
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: on your side, James Cook on the bill side. There's

1138
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a lot of side storylines here,

1139
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: but let's concentrate on Case Keenum, a guy who's got

1140
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of a legacy there in Minnesota. You know,

1141
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: how does that change things from your perspective, have a

1142
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: guy the perhaps Case Keenum might be the guy rather

1143
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: than an MVP guy like Josh Allen. Um, I think

1144
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: from a schematic standpoint, it changes a lot of things.

1145
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: You're not going to get these uh these called runs

1146
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: with Case Keenum, right. Uh. You know for you guys

1147
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: last week against the Jets, and it was Josh Allen

1148
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: that I'm a ground really you know, put the points

1149
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: up for you. Um. I don't think you're gonna see

1150
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: that kind of that kind of play calling with Case Keenum.

1151
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: The fans, the people everybody in Minnesota, they you know,

1152
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: they love Case and what he did here. They love

1153
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: him for who he is, and that's a He's a tough,

1154
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: gritty type of a quarterback. He's gonna He's going to

1155
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: hang in there to the last second, take to hit,

1156
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: deliver the ball when it needs to be where it

1157
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: needs to be, and his teammates respect the hell out

1158
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: of him for it. And he's a great leader. So, um,

1159
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, is he physically he's gifted as a Josh Allen, No,

1160
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: absolutely not. But as a leader, as a as a

1161
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: guy with experience, guy who's been in big games. I mean,

1162
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: you're not. You're not losing much at all, I think

1163
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: in those categories, and in some ways it might it

1164
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: might count against you in this respect. Meaning the players

1165
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: that were around back when Case was around, they understand

1166
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: who he is. They know who he is. They know

1167
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: he's not uh, your your run of the mill average

1168
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. They know he's a good quarterback. And I

1169
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: think they also know, um, you know, kind of like

1170
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: what I alluded to earlier with t J. Hockenson and JJ.

1171
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: You know, justin Jefferson, you know, you guys depend on

1172
01:05:55,400 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: digs very, very heavily in the passing game. Um, and

1173
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: with Keenum, I think that's going to change. I don't

1174
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: think he's necessarily going to feel comfortable throwing the fifty

1175
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: fifty ball sixty seventy yards down the field, you know,

1176
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: to to two digs or whomever he's he's gonna execute

1177
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 1: the plan, and I think, you know, as it's called,

1178
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna bring in a lot of

1179
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: other offensive weapons for you guys. So I think you'll

1180
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: see a little bit more of a balanced offense, uh,

1181
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, with Keenum in there, and probably a little

1182
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: more attention to the running game, um and you know,

1183
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: sticking with it with Singletary obviously, So in that respect,

1184
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 1: there's there. I think there's quite a bit that's going

1185
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: to be different if, if case, Keenum comes in. But

1186
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: then again that's just that's just scheme and xs and ohs.

1187
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: He's still a very very good quarterback and we miss

1188
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: him up here ats for sure. Flipping that around to

1189
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: your guys quarterback and Kirk Cousins, you know, he hasn't

1190
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: turned the ball over a whole lot, but when he does,

1191
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: it seems to be on deeper throws down the field.

1192
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: All six of his interceptions are more than you know,

1193
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: ten air yards instead of the short stuff. And I

1194
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: realize you're talking high percentage throw versus a low percentage

1195
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: throw that's traveling further, but still in all, how would

1196
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: you describe Kirk's distribution of the football thus far this year?

1197
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Because we see these big plays that Jefferson has turned

1198
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: in on an almost weekly basis, but then you see

1199
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,439
Speaker 1: those turnover numbers and you're like, well, what's going on there?

1200
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: So how would you describe Kirk's distribution in the passing game? Well,

1201
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot of those interceptions were you know,

1202
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: we're early on. A couple of them were just really

1203
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: bad throws. I mean, you get and you know, you

1204
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: watch the film of the Jets game and you see

1205
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: the first interception that Alan throws and you're you say,

1206
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: you're scratching your head. You're like, this is not what

1207
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: he not what he normally does. And so Cousins has

1208
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: had a few of those. Um, some of that has

1209
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: to do. You know, Cousins is a he's a he

1210
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: doesn't make it up as he goes. He executes the

1211
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: offense right, he executes the call. He's a one two three,

1212
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: you know whatever, you know, whatever has to be done.

1213
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: And so if he's not completely comfortable or familiar or

1214
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: um you know, doesn't know everything to the end degree,

1215
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: then things get a little bit You know, a little

1216
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,520
Speaker 1: bit crazy. Now you see the you know, the interception

1217
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 1: he through against against the Commanders. Um, the play before,

1218
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a big play play before the

1219
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:26,680
Speaker 1: clocks running down, play clocks running down, we get a

1220
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: delay of the game. You know, he's visibly frustrated. And

1221
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: then the next play he throws that you know ball

1222
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: to the corner and it just gets tipped up and intercepted. So, um,

1223
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:41,560
Speaker 1: he's throwing more of the fifty fifty type throws to Jefferson,

1224
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 1: which I think is a great thing because Jefferson's gonna

1225
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 1: come down with those, um you know more. Um, he

1226
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 1: is leaving some meat on the bone. You know. I

1227
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: think he's he's he's if he could see the entire

1228
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: field and know this offense a little bit better, Um,

1229
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to find a guy like kJ

1230
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 1: Osborne here and there streaking down the field. So there's

1231
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: a there's still a lot of potential with this offense,

1232
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: especially in the passing game. I think he's extremely comfortable

1233
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: with Jefferson, obviously Hockinson. He's developed that rapport very very quickly.

1234
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's again, he's not a guy. He thinks

1235
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: he's not a guy that kind of makes it up

1236
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: as it goes, right. I mean, we've seen a couple

1237
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: of scrambles on these highlights and things like that. Not

1238
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: normal for Kirk Cousins, right, He's normally going to execute

1239
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: the offenses is called. Now they've given him a lot

1240
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: more mentally to do before the snap as far as

1241
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: the shifts and the motions, but also more leeway into

1242
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: getting the offense in a position I think where where

1243
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: they're going to have success. So he's he's involved in

1244
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: the instead of just executing an offense and what's called,

1245
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: he's much more involved in this offense. He's more of

1246
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: a say, I think in this offense and that's a

1247
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 1: you know, it's a growing point for him. So um,

1248
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, overall, I think he's played very well. He

1249
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: hung in there when Kirk cut. When Kirk struggles is

1250
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: when he feels the pressure. And he hung in there

1251
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 1: and took a couple hits in the Washington game that

1252
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: were really big. I actually had to come out of

1253
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: play because he got the wind knocked out of him

1254
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: on one. But he's he's showing that toughness and if

1255
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 1: he can hang in there and take a hit every

1256
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: now and again, Um, you know, well we'll see we'll

1257
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: see better and better football out of him. And I

1258
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: know we spoke about a minute ago. But if if TJ.

1259
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: Howkinson is everything that they dream he's gonna be, does

1260
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: that change anything for the scope of their offense? I mean,

1261
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: I know they got Dalvin Cook and they got weapons everywhere. Um,

1262
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: and Justin Jefferson is a dynamite? Does that? I mean?

1263
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: What does that mean to Kirk Cousins and where he

1264
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: throws it? Is that? You know what I mean? Is

1265
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean because you certainly don't want to take any

1266
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: opportunities away from Justin Jefferson, who pays the price for

1267
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 1: Hawkinson getting nine catches last week. Um, you know, you know,

1268
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 1: I think you got to look at Adam Feeland and

1269
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: kJ Osborne in that respect. You know, you have to

1270
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 1: look at those guys. You see. I think you're still

1271
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: gonna You're still gonna have Jefferson as a primary. You're

1272
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: still gonna have, uh those situations with the receivers and

1273
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: the routes that they run. I think what Hockinson gives

1274
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 1: is an outlet. He gives an answer. Right. Um, We've

1275
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: struggled with with some of the hot breads. Let's say

1276
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 1: in blitzing picking up blitz is, our offense has been

1277
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: feast or famine, but not from an explosive standpoint. We're

1278
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: talking eight ten minute drives. You know, you come out

1279
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: against the commanders and you just march the ball right

1280
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: down the field boom boom, boom, boom boom, and then

1281
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 1: you punt the next I think five or four um possessions.

1282
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so it's it's the ability to move

1283
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: the chains. It seems like we can get down the field,

1284
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:01,440
Speaker 1: put points on the board, and then in subsequent possessions

1285
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 1: we just have a problem moving the chains. We have

1286
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: a problem getting things going, especially on the road. And

1287
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: so I think hocketson kind of brings that right a

1288
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: chain moor And I you know, I'm no one wants

1289
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 1: to be described as that who wants to be that guy,

1290
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: But I think in this offense he's gonna fit that

1291
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: bill and he's gonna give again cousins an outlet when

1292
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 1: things down the field don't look right, he can just

1293
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: get that ball to him. And with his size and

1294
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, his six foot five frame and his catch

1295
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: radius and those things, he's really you know, he's really

1296
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 1: going to help this offense sustain drives, and I think

1297
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: that's that's the key. So there's room for him in

1298
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: this offense there. I think there's room for him. Um.

1299
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't think having him there is going to take

1300
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: away much from Jefferson. I think he's just going to

1301
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,839
Speaker 1: give this offense another option on some of the shorter

1302
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 1: throws or when the primary receiver is not open. Pete,

1303
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: thanks very much for the time. We appreciate you lling

1304
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: it out for the Vikings so we're a little more

1305
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 1: prepared on Sunday. We'll see out here. Have a safe trip.

1306
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 1: Thanks Pete. All right, thank you, looking forward to it.

1307
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: All right, that's Vikings radio color analyst Pete Bursts joining

1308
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: us here, former Vikings linebacker. Interesting that I wanted to

1309
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: ask him about that red zone stuff because it sticks

1310
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: out like a sore thumb on the statue. Like Vikings

1311
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: last in the league and a red zone defense. They

1312
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: haven't let people down there very much. But when you

1313
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: get down there, you're punching it in like eighty percent.

1314
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's not good at all. That's really bad. Yeah,

1315
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: it's bad. The league average is forty percent. I think

1316
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: one of the things double. I think one of the

1317
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: things that makes them seven and one, though outside of

1318
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: that is the fact that they get turnover. So teams

1319
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: are losing possessions when they you know, they're using opportunities

1320
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: to get down there, and that's a that's a crusher.

1321
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: So it all works hand in hand to you know,

1322
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: give you the statue you get. You can be seven

1323
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 1: and one and be the last team in the league

1324
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: allowing touchdowns in the red zone. That's that's almost like

1325
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:00,519
Speaker 1: it's like a parlay bet, you know, I mean, like

1326
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: how do you figure? You know, that's what are the

1327
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 1: odds of it? But it's what. That's the way it is.

1328
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,640
Speaker 1: The turnovers are what the big differences, and that's the

1329
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: big equalizer. And if the more you look at it,

1330
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 1: the more it comes down to that, particularly with case

1331
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: keenum for the Buffalo Bills. If the Bills don't turn

1332
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 1: it over, if they just punting, is not bad. If

1333
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: they just don't turn it over and give them extra opportunities,

1334
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: this is going to be a very close game. And

1335
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: if you can get into the red zone, and they

1336
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: do stink at red zone defenses even this week, you're

1337
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to win this game, and not

1338
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: only win it, but win it handily. But you can't

1339
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: turn it over and give those weapons that we were

1340
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: just talking about with, you know, Pete Bursach. You can't

1341
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 1: give it to those guys. Yeah, that the Vikings are.

1342
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 1: They have the third highest yards per carry average against

1343
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: them in the red zone. It's almost four yards of

1344
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: carry in the red zone where the space is tight

1345
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: and it's hard to get yards down there on the ground.

1346
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 1: They're giving it up. You take out Tomlinson out of

1347
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: that lineup doesn't get better, it gets worse. I know

1348
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: we have to take a break here, but when we

1349
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,639
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna be joined by a former Bills

1350
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver. What a week for him to be here

1351
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: with Jefferson and Diggs going head to head, Lee Evans.

1352
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be our legend of the game this week.

1353
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 1: He's coming up next here on One Bills Live, presented

1354
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

Speaker 1: not a lot of top but I guess they're gonna

1378
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: be working that beard a little bit on you. Yeah,

1379
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, trim up the gold to you a little bit.

1380
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:47,680
Speaker 1: I can let it, I can let it grow a

1381
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 1: little bit and see if they can do a good

1382
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: zapp That'll be great. Right, give us an idea of

1383
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: what are you coming back by yourself? You're bringing any family?

1384
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Are you gonna reconnect with some people up here? You

1385
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: were here for a while? Yeah, all the above, So

1386
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I'll definitely connect with some people while I'm up there.

1387
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: But I'm bringing my son who's a freshman in high

1388
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: school now. He just finished up his freshman year of

1389
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 1: football and moved him up to varsity. So he's playing well,

1390
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: he's having fun with it, and he's a he's a huge,

1391
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 1: huge Bills fan. So all right, right, had to come

1392
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: back to what position does he play? Lee? He's playing

1393
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 1: receiver in dB or receiver and running back? Ok? Right,

1394
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: what a shocker that is? Uh? What you know? I

1395
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,759
Speaker 1: think it's fitting that they chose you as a legend

1396
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: of the Game for this week's game, a game that's

1397
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: going to have two of the leading receivers in football

1398
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: right now in Justin Jefferson and Stefan Diggs. What is

1399
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 1: your you know, kind of stance on those two guys

1400
01:17:53,640 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: as talents. I mean, unbelievable, unbelievable. Obviously, you know, Eggs

1401
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: has been obviously you know, he was with Minnesota, so

1402
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll you know, have some feeling towards that.

1403
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: But you know, watching Digs play, watching them compete and

1404
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: watching them, you know, come in every day has been

1405
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's been great to watch. And you know,

1406
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: he got a guy, big, strong guy who can get

1407
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: him the ball down the field. Um, you know, it's

1408
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: really sweet to watch. And watching what he can do

1409
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: with the ball after the catch, it's special too. So

1410
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: his game all the way around is one that that

1411
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: I'll watch every week. And you know, and and I'm all, by,

1412
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 1: give us an what do you It wasn't that long

1413
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: ago that you were out there. Give us an idea.

1414
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: What do you think it takes to be successful for

1415
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: that long Certainly a wide receiver is a little bit

1416
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: dependent on the guy pulling the trigger, a little bit

1417
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: of that, but a lot of it comes down to

1418
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: his own ability to you know, to succeed and stay

1419
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: with it in the offseason. Give us an idea of

1420
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: the insight is to how some of these guys are

1421
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: so productive for so long in their career. Yeah, you know,

1422
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:02,679
Speaker 1: the game is also a little different now, right, It's

1423
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 1: not the the off season isn't as strenuous, the training

1424
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: camp isn't as strenuous, So these guys can really get

1425
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: a chance to you know, kind of honing their craft

1426
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: and some of the little things as far as you know,

1427
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: route running technique. But you know, at the end of

1428
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 1: the day, you know, it's just it's you and the

1429
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: ball and fighting with the man, fighting with the man

1430
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:26,600
Speaker 1: who's trying to guard him. And so I think his

1431
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: his competitive spirit some of the things that he does

1432
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: training wise in the off season, I think it's great

1433
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 1: training with a lot of other guys and you know,

1434
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: really not taking themselves out of it, you know, just

1435
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 1: kind of drives his competitive nature. And you know, that's

1436
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: that's really what it takes. Is really it's all year now.

1437
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: Even though they took some of the physical demands off

1438
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: of it, mentally and spiritually, you gotta you gotta stay

1439
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: into it. And I think, you know a lot of

1440
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: these young guys are really doing that, and you know,

1441
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: they have the opportunity have a lot more longevity. In Italy,

1442
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: Lay your name kind of came up a few weeks

1443
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: ago because I'm sure if you know your son's a

1444
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: Bills fan and you're watching these games, you saw Cabe

1445
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: Davis with two really long touchdowns ninety eight and sixty

1446
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: two yards in the first half against the Steelers, and

1447
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: very quickly your name comes up because of that Houston

1448
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 1: game where you had a couple eighty three yarders in

1449
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: the first half. I don't know if they said it

1450
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 1: on the telecast, but they were saying in the press

1451
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: box because that's the first time it happens since you

1452
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 1: did it. What do you kind, what do you remember

1453
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: about that first half, because you know, that's that's not

1454
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: something that anybody expects going in, no matter what kind

1455
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: of preparation you take into a game. Yeah, I mean,

1456
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:43,719
Speaker 1: you know, you know that was one of those games

1457
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: where you know, you and the quarterback would just kind

1458
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: of locked in from the beginning, and you know JP

1459
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,639
Speaker 1: was there, and you know, you know, we we had

1460
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: a we had a good relationship together, We had a

1461
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 1: good synergy throwing and catching the ball, and you know,

1462
01:20:57,960 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: if all those spell he would just throw it up there,

1463
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: hope that I don't make a play and you know

1464
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: that quarter we were suddenly hot and uh, and it

1465
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun and watching game and Alan

1466
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 1: do it again. I mean, it's fun, right. You never

1467
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 1: you never expect something like that to happen, but when

1468
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 1: it does, you know, is really really special and really

1469
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to be a part of. What

1470
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: is your When you you talk about your son being

1471

Speaker 1: such a huge Bills fan, what's your what are your

1472
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,120

Speaker 1: game and saying hi to to the stadium once again,

1474
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: to get a place where he you know, he played

1475
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 1: over a hundred games in the league, you had a

1476
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of miles on that turf

1477
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 1: in the in the what was the Ralph and uh,

1478
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 1: give us an idea of what your thoughts are and

1479
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: your feelings about coming back. I mean I'm excited, I

1480
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,640
Speaker 1: really am. And you know, just to be back in

1481
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo and you know, be back around the organization. Still

1482
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 1: know a few people in the organization. It'd be great

1483
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: to see, you know, a lot of people haven't seen

1484
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: in a long time, and to interact with the fans.

1485
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm really excited. It's been a while since

1486
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: I've been back, uh and and and this type of capacity.

1487
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: So um and you know, obviously the team is doing well.

1488
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 1: It's a ton of excitement around the city, a ton

1489
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: of excitement around the team and the players. Um. So

1490
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 1: you know, when I was there, you know, we we

1491
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:18,640
Speaker 1: we didn't have a ton of excitement. We didn't have

1492
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: a you know, a time like this where it was

1493
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 1: this exciting, this much excitement around the team and potential

1494
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,600
Speaker 1: to move forward. So to see it now is is

1495
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: certainly special and it'll be a it'll be a pleasure

1496
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: to be a part of. And then Lee, what are

1497
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: I know Bills fans always asked, you know, especially about

1498
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 1: former players that were you know, well liked like you.

1499
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:42,600
Speaker 1: What are you? What are you doing now? I know

1500
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: you're in Virginia now, but what are you? What are

1501
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:49,839
Speaker 1: you up to? Well, so, finally my son started high school.

1502
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: So that was that's that's been a big relief. Before that,

1503
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: it was all you know, travel teams and you know,

1504
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: coaching his teams and moving around and doing that whole shuffle.

1505
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: Uh So so that's but that but that was a

1506
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 1: ton of fun. He got a ton of exposure from that.

1507
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: Um and I think it really did help him going

1508
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 1: in high school. As frustrating as it was. Um, you know,

1509
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: outside of that, I still stay you know, busy in

1510
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 1: the in the real estate world. Um and you know,

1511
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, trying to do some real estate and you know,

1512
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 1: trying to keep myself busy. But you know, it's it's

1513
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 1: it's been. I got a three year old now who's

1514
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: coming into the scenes, so he's keeping me busy as well.

1515
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, so you know, we're you know,

1516
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: we're having fun. And he gets to see his brother

1517
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: compete as he never saw me compete. Yeah, awesome, Lee,

1518
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 1: look forward to crossing pass with you this weekend. Good luck,

1519
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 1: travel safely and go Bills, all right, looking forward to it.

1520
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Thank you. All right. That's Bill's former receiver Lee Evans.

1521
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Gonna be the legend of the game when the Bills

1522
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 1: host the Vikings on Sunday, And if you can't get

1523
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:58,640
Speaker 1: to the Bflo Store appearance one to two pm on

1524
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: Saturday to get an autograph from Lee. He's also going

1525
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: to be on the Billivard on the Senecas sound stage

1526
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: eleven to noon where you can meet and greet Lee,

1527
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: maybe take a picture, get an autograph as well. Steve

1528
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 1: and I'll take a break back with more here on

1529
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by Collot of Health. It's Buffalo

1530
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, here we be on one Bills Live,

1531
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and be pretty cool

1532
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 1: to get Lee Evans out there as the legend of

1533
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: the game. I don't think he's ever done it before.

1534
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 1: I can't remember a time when he's done it before.

1535
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: We're seeing Stevie out here a few times, and he

1536
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: said it's been a while since he's been back, so yeah,

1537
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: so I would estimate this is his first trip back

1538
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: as a legend of the game. Be pretty cool to

1539
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: see Lee out there. And as I mentioned him, an

1540
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 1: appropriate week to have a legend be a wide receiver

1541
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: with yeah, Jefferson and Diggs going up against one another.

1542
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 1: It's pretty fascinating to see the outcome of that trade.

1543
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: And now we're going to see it. Yeah, you know

1544
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: the full Monty here on Sunday, because I mean, since

1545
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: since Jefferson's in the league, nobody has more receiving yards

1546
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 1: in that dude, right and Diggs, Nobody's been targeted more.

1547
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: Nobody's been targeted more than Digney as the second most

1548
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 1: receptions in the league since the trade was made, right, So,

1549
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: and it's a hard league to lead those statistics in. Yeah,

1550
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:39,640
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they are. I'm sure there are a

1551
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 1: host of other examples where trades worked out for both

1552
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 1: teams that were involved. But you'd be hard pressed to

1553
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: find one better than this one in the last five years.

1554
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: I get it too. I mean, the Bills gave more

1555
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 1: than just that one. They gave up four total draft choice, right,

1556
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 1: So that's that's a big that's big. But I'm telling you,

1557
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't know that there's anybody who

1558
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,720
Speaker 1: doesn't think Buffalo loves that trade that they made. I mean,

1559
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: it's it's been great. And I'm and Diggs has been

1560
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: more than just statistics too, Right, He's not just catching

1561
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: balls and put up numbers. They the team thrives on

1562
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 1: his leadership. He's got an he plays with an edge

1563
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:16,959
Speaker 1: and some grit, even as as an as an undersized

1564
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 1: what wide receiver by today's standards, He's he's got some

1565
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,440
Speaker 1: fight and some grit and some you know, some attitude

1566
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 1: that really permeates the squad, particularly that wide receiver's room

1567
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 1: in the offensive side of the ball, you know, kind

1568
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: of the side of the ball you need it. Um, Yeah,

1569
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 1: that's the Bills love that trade, and you know the

1570
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Vikings certainly aren't complaining at all. They

1571
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: love their guy. And I guess that that's what happens

1572
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 1: when a team capitalizes on the draft pick they get

1573
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: as compensation in a trade and they get the right guy. Yeah,

1574
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, because that's what it falls down to. I mean,

1575
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:01,560
Speaker 1: and who knows that the Vikings might get four guys

1576
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: that are quality players. I mean odd to say they

1577
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:07,679
Speaker 1: probably won't. But that's you know, you gotta make that trade.

1578
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Bills are looking back. Yeah.

1579
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 1: So Lee Evans is the legend of the game, and

1580
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: this week's game sponsor is Saint Bonaventure University Saint Bonaventran

1581
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 1: as an official education partner of the Buffalo Bills. One

1582
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 1: other thing to note about Justin Jefferson Steve he needs

1583
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: just one hundred and seventeen receiving yards in the game

1584
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: this week to reach four thousand for his career, which

1585
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 1: if he does, it would tie him for the record

1586
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: for fastest to four thousand receiving yards with Odell Beckham

1587
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 1: Junior at forty two games. If he manages one hundred

1588
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 1: and thirty three yards receiving on Sunday, he will tie

1589
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 1: a Vikings team record for fastest to a thousand yards

1590
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: in a season nine games with Randy Moss and Adam

1591
01:27:55,439 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: Feeling a thousand yards in nine games. Yeah, that guy

1592
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 1: can go, man, There's just no two ways about it.

1593
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:07,479
Speaker 1: He is an absolute dynamite receiver fast. I saw him

1594
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:10,680
Speaker 1: play against the Dolphin. I watched that game today. He

1595
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,879
Speaker 1: hurt that team. He hurt that He hurt the Dolphins

1596
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 1: bad with his plays, and it's like he destroys man

1597
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:21,679
Speaker 1: coverage much like Diggs does. He absolutely annihilates man coverage.

1598
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: That's why the way you gotta play him is you

1599
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: got to bracket him over there the whole game and

1600
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:29,759
Speaker 1: I hope you can man up on the other side

1601
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: or yeah, you know what I mean. He's a hard

1602
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 1: guy like Diggs and Jefferson both, they're hard guys to

1603
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:37,040
Speaker 1: get your hands on at the line is crimmage. Even

1604
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 1: when you walk up on him, and if you start

1605
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 1: having success getting your hands on them, what they do

1606
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 1: is they just back him off the line yard, get

1607
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: him in the backfield, and then put him in motion,

1608
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: and then you can't get your hands on him because

1609
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:51,200
Speaker 1: they're moving right. So the team and the offensive coordinators

1610
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 1: give them all the help they can. But even so,

1611
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 1: even when they're static up playing the X receiver up

1612
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: on the line, guys can't get their hands on him

1613
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 1: enough to knock them all. I just don't know why

1614
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: you give him a free release anywhere though. Oh you can't.

1615
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: I take your chances that you get it. You can't

1616
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: play off coverage. I mean unless you've got a couple

1617
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: of guys over there. So it's and it's then it

1618
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: becomes a numbers game everyplace else. All right, big show
