1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: Down at a Steve Tasker who has been all over

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: the field. Kind of unique. He was kind of a

3
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: dual role player for you. Steve, Steve a blimp. We're

4
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: not even in the stragedyre of normalcy. It is Friday.

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

6
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: The Football Crisis Hotline is open, as is the obl

7
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: fan mail Bag. It is a show designed for you,

8
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: the listener and viewer, to be heard, to be helped.

9
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: Steve and I are here football First Age. Consider us

10
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: your football counselors as we're ready to roll here on

11
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: a Friday. And it's still another positive test in Tennessee today.

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's like athletes multiple test. It's like athletes

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: foot now you can't get rid of it. Yeah, not

14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: a good sign. It's getting worse. And the speculation now

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: with two More's Titans players testing positive is that if

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: more positives turn up through the course of the weekend,

17
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: it could put the Bills Week five game against the

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Titans in jeopardy to go on as scheduled on its

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: assigned date at this point in time, so it's certainly

20
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: not the focus of head coach Sean McDermott or the

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: players right now. But as we heard Tredavious White say

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: in his media zoom call this week, it did raise

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: some antenna in the locker room. And while it may

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: not be priority number one because they've got a business

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: trip that they've got to handle out in Las Vegas

26
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: this week, it is back of mind, I think for sure,

27
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: because this potentially impacts everybody in the league. If it

28
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: can go to this level already, what are we up

29
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: to fourteen? I think players instead half affected in the

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee organization, and it's gone on for the span of

31
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: I think we're going on four days now where new

32
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: positives keep cropping up and they've basically shut down the

33
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: facility since Tuesday and you're still getting positives. I think

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: it just speaks to the power of the community spread

35
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: that COVID has and coach was asked about it this morning,

36
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: and we'll get to his comments in a minute, but

37
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: he was asked, does this become more and more disconcerting

38
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: knowing they're next on the schedule, and he basically said, well,

39
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: we got to focus on the Raiders right now. Yeah,

40
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: they got they got different priorities right now, but certainly

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: the league is looking at it closely as well. I

42
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: mean it's Friday, and they can't even get back in

43
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: the building now until at least what midweek, late in

44
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: the week next week. They wouldn't be back in their

45
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: building because when they had positive tests on Tuesday Wednesday,

46
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: they weren't going to get back in for another week.

47
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: So look, think about what you're saying here, and that's

48
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna slip away fast from the Tennessee Titans. Their season's

49
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: gonna go away fast if they can't get in the field,

50
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: in the facility to practice and all that, and they

51
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: keep getting these you know, these straight positive tests work.

52
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Now they've been apart now for three days, right, So

53
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: and now you got to think too, did the guys

54
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: who are testing there's a possibility now with the guys

55
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: who tested positive like today, didn't even get it from

56
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: the guy same guys that they got it from on Tuesday,

57
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, the guys who've tested positive on Tuesday. But

58
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean that, you know, that's a can of worms

59
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: that is just ugly to look at. And there's there's

60
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: a fanning out and tentacles to this. They just keep going. Yeah,

61
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: the community spread, as you said, is something that you know,

62
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: it's always been on the back of everybody's mind. It's

63
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: why you wear the masks while you got all this

64
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: hand This why you can't buy hand sanitizer. Everybody's out

65
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: of it, that kind of thing. And you know, for

66
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: a long time you couldn't even find you couldn't even

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: buy masks, right, And of course now everybody's got six

68
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: of them towels either, right, and toilet papers still near

69
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But it you catch this, I mean

70
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: it seemingly it's amazing. How can the Raiders do what

71
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: they did, the Titans do what they did well, and

72
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: they're such opposite results. Let's not let's not forget this, Okay.

73
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: The sweet spot for positives to turn up is between

74
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: days three and five, and that is, in fact, to

75
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: a large degree, what happened with the Titans. Assuming the

76
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: original exposure date was either Friday or Saturday last week,

77
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: the sweet spot is days three to five, and on Tuesday,

78
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: that's when all this stuff came down with what was it,

79
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: eight new positives for the Titans. Now they're up to fourteen,

80
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: and yesterday when the Raiders went in for testing, they're

81
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: daily testing, which was Thursday. That was day three, when

82
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: symptoms could start to show up. The results of those

83
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: tests presumably came back this morning. They get them. They

84
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: get them like in the middle of the night, an

85
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: eighteen hour turnaround for the conventional test, and then they

86
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: have point of care tests that can be turned around

87
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: in fifteen minutes which they use in the event that

88
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: there is a positive to make sure it's not a

89
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: false positive. So with that in mind, those test results

90
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: for day three should be coming back to the Raiders

91
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: this morning, and they should have already gotten those. Well, true,

92
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: we haven't heard anything, we haven't seen anything out there

93
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: in cyberspace to indicate that the Raiders are the latest

94
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: team to you know, suffer some positive testing. So hopefully

95
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: that remains the case, because if it does, then I

96
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: think there's a real possibility that Sunday's game could could

97
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: be compromised in terms of where it sits on the

98
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: schedule and when it's supposed to be played. So everybody

99
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: your fingers and toes if you want to watch the

100
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Bills and the Raiders on Sunday, that nobody turns up positive.

101
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: After the irresponsible behavior by upwards of a dozen players

102
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: on the Raiders roster, uh, there's other COVID news. Um.

103
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: I think some people saw that the Vikings are back

104
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: in their facility under enhanced COVID protocols. They go out

105
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: to practice, they all have to wear masks at practice,

106
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: and they all have to wear gloves at practice, except

107
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: for the quarterback with his throwing hand. That's the only

108
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: guy that the hand of the quarterback. Everybody else gotta

109
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: have gloves on. Yeah, all it's coaches, staff and man masks.

110
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: So that's tough to practice with a mask on. Well,

111
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: late in the week, it's you know, it's a bit

112
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: of scale down. They miss dates, so you don't know

113
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: what the coach has mind. So that's right, and this

114
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: will affect what they want to do too. They're not gonna,

115
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, putting a helmet on with a mask on,

116
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: or maybe they maybe they're talking about the face shields

117
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: that they players were Perhaps maybe perhaps that wasn't clear.

118
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: Maybe that counts. But by the same token, it's different,

119
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: and it's an inconvenience and it's one extra layer of

120
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: protection that they're given. The Vikings are taking. And now

121
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: the league sent out a memo to all thirty two teams.

122
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Same thing. You got to have gloves on masts on

123
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: all over the place. In a still further development, apparently

124
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the league has heard Steve Tasker's concerns about players gallivanting

125
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: about and exposing themselves unnecessarily to community spread or to

126
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: people they do not know out in public enclosed spaces

127
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: during bye weeks, because they have issued another memo to

128
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams that essentially says, during the bye

129
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: week of your respective NFL club, you can a not

130
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: leave your club city during the bye week at any

131
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: point in time, and b you will continue to have

132
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: to come in for daily testing during your team's bye

133
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: week at your team facility. And this is obviously being

134
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 1: done with the aim to continue to monitor players even

135
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: in the weeks where they probably will get three or

136
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: four days off from the daily preparation for games. Usually

137
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: on bye weeks here under coach McDermott, they come in,

138
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: they review the film on Monday, and then they have

139
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: some kind of light workout Tuesday, they get a practice

140
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: in where they kind of make corrections on Wednesday, and

141
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: then they usually get Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday off during

142
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: their bye week. Those four days they cannot go anywhere,

143
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: so that is a new addition to the memorandum sent

144
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: out by the league to the thirty two NFL clubs.

145
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: Testing continues daily during the byes and they cannot go.

146
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: And that's that's not a big deal to anybody except

147
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: the players. No vacations, they're gonna have. They think about it,

148
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna have. We saw the hockey guys get out

149
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: of their bubble. The NBA butt guys are all getting

150
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: out of their bubble, one team at a time as

151
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: the as the playoffs eliminate player. Now they're in the finals.

152
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: But you know, you you're basically sequestered in this life

153
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: from what is a July now all the way through

154
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: till November, December, January, February, one of those months wherever whenever, well,

155
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: January February, whenever your season ends, and it's by time

156
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: off is not time off. That's that's the sad part

157
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: about it. These guys getting no break. And that's I

158
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: think it's a reminder, man. Yeah, it's a reminder though

159
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: that they have to remain diligent. And you know, this

160
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: Titan's outbreak is is a strong deterrent to keep them

161
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: to do that, keep them doing that and staying diligent.

162
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: So hopefully there are no other teams that fall fall

163
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: victim to this, but there are a lot of variables

164
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: at play, and knowing how easily spread this is, I

165
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: don't think it would shock anybody if another team falls

166
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: victim to it, even if you know their team following

167
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: things to the letter, which by all indications was the

168
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: case with the Titans. I mean, every indication was they

169
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: were following things to the letter, and they still fell

170
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: victim to it, So that I think that just reiterates

171
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: and re emphasizes how diligent you've got to be with

172
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's no joke. It's amazing to me with

173
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: the Titans being having the travel party in the NFL team.

174
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: They've reduced it significantly this year, but it's still a

175
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: ton of people. It's still a hundred people in a plane,

176
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: on a bus, in a hotel, the locker room, and

177
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me. And I'm sure the league did this,

178
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: and maybe they're just not telling the information. There's got

179
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: to be somewhere along the line where a hotel worker,

180
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: a stadium usher, a state attend, a flight attendant, somebody

181
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: has to turn up with the virus. That came in

182
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: contact with the club. Well, they tied. They tied the

183
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: Titans and also the Houston Astros because they use the

184
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: same bus a bus driver to a bus driver. Yeah yeah,

185
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: but they he didn't test positive. I mean, they just

186
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: took him off. The only thing I heard was, well,

187
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: since that best driver drove them and he's gonna drive,

188
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: we're taking him out. They didn't say that he tested

189
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: positive or even if he'd been tested. Yeah, I didn't

190
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: see anything definitive either. I mean that's just like, you know,

191
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: it's like saying, well they you know, they use that

192
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna stay in a different hotel. Um, whether the

193
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: hotel was the problem or not, what we're talking about

194
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: is murky. The Astros had a busy. Everybody used the

195
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: bus company right when they get to the town, the

196
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: same dyer to play the Twins in the playoffs, right,

197
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: so the bus driver they're gonna use one of the

198
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: bus drivers that drove the Titans. They said no, no, no,

199
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: you're not doing it. Yeah you're out, And that's come on.

200
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: Nobody even looked at the bus driver they do now

201
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: right now do they? Or they just saying you know what, listen,

202
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: not nobody tested the guy. That's what I'm asking. Did

203
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: they test the bus drivers, did they test the fight

204
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: at the test the pilot? Did they test the bell boy?

205
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Did they test the hotel work? I would think you

206
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: have to, you would think I would. I mean, especially

207
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: the plane, the travel people like the planes and the buses,

208
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: everybody that's servicing you in those areas, enclosed spaces. You know,

209
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: you gotta get those people checked out. You can't be

210
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: sitting on a bus for twenty five minutes in a

211
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: closed space. And those modern buses the windows don't really

212
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: open yet, right, I mean they pop out, but I

213
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: mean you're not getting a lot of ventilation through there.

214
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: And the thing is, what about I know planes are better,

215
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: what about those people who are just trying to do

216
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: their job, making it and in a pandemic, still trying

217
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: to find some work somewhere. Yea, And that you're not

218
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: gonna test me if what if I've got it? Yeah, yeah,

219
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: they're they're innocent bystanders as well. Yeah, it's it's tough.

220
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Now you're asking me to you know. Before we get

221
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: to the phones, I want to run down the lineup

222
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: we have for today's show coming up at twelve thirty

223
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: will be the latest installment of Tasker's Teammate as we

224
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: try to stump Steve in guessing a former teammate that

225
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: he played with over his thirteen year career. So we've

226
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: got a good candidate there, I believe, so hopefully we

227
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: can get Steve Squirman for that at the bottom of

228
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: the hour. Then at one twenty we'll get our weekly

00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: Throughout the program, whenever you feel the inclination, if you

242
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: have a football crisis that you are dealing with, whether

243
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: it is a viewing conflict with a family member, someone

244
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: has taken your jersey to borrow and it's been a

245
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: month and a half and you still don't have it back.

246
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: We had a guy whose sister took his Tremaine Edmund's

247
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: jersey and put it on her dog for Instagram photos

248
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: and it was an autographed jersey. That is a football crisis.

249
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: So Steve and I are here to help guide you

250
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: through those crises and give you good solutions to those

251
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: kinds of problems. So if you have any, and we

252
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: will get to some that have come in via Twitter

253
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live, we are here to help you

254
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: through these football crises because we all are dealing with

255
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: the crisis of not being able to watch games in

256
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: person as fans. That's crisis number one. That has forced

257
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: everyone to readjust the way they digest this football season.

258
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: So that's crisis number one. People have found their way

259
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: around that, at least for the time being, but there

260
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: are others that crop up through the course of the

261
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: season due to family commitments, friends that just don't understand

262
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: why you have to watch the football game live and

263
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: can't just DVR it. So if you come across these issues,

264
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Steve and I are here to help, So call us

Speaker 1: I love both of you. Always is that um. I

284
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: want to talk about the continuity on our defensive line. Yeah,

285
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: and it goes back from last year when we drafted

286
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson. You know, this year we had a j

287
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: epen as a you know, we had at Oliver, then

288
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: we had Harrison Phillips. These guys know the system, you know,

289
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: the Carolina Buffalo connection, honistand I love Brandon being I

290
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: love I love Sean, And they're loyal. They're very loyal

291
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: people to the people that they select, and I appreciate that.

292
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: But you know, when I look at Vernon Butler, Vernon

293
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Butler's Vernon Butler, he was like that when he was

294
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: in Carolina. You know, he's he's okay, but he's not

295
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: He's not gonna jump off the pages. As far a

296
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: zone stats. Addison is a good ball player. I like Addison,

297
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, and the young man that we got from Seattle,

298
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: he's okay, but you know, it's nothing like Quentin Jefferson.

299
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: You're talking about, Oh yeah, Quinn Jefferson things hey, and

300
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: you know he's okay, but it's nothing like what you

301
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: already had on your shelf that you had last year.

302
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: Daryl Johnson is a ball player, you know, and Phil

303
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillipson is a ball player. Uh Ed Oliver is

304
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: a ball player, and I just wish, you know, during

305
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: the course of the season, hopefully we'll see it that

306
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: they bring a combination of maybe putting a Japaneza on

307
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: the right side of the D line, put Daryl Johnson

308
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: on the left side D line, put Phillipson at D

309
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: tackle and put it and put at Our in the

310
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: three technique and let's let it, let it slow. You know,

311
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: these young players are ready to play, and I know

312
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: they're loyal, but you know, I just think that, you know,

313
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I look at the stroke of the last three games,

314
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: I'm happy that we three and oh and I know

315
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: our team is better, our defense wise than what it is.

316
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: But I just think that if we get a good

317
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: combination and trust some of the players that we had

318
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: last year that made our defense in the top ten,

319
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: I think we'll be okay. And I hope that the

320
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: other the other newcomers come along and you know, hope

321
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: they get on board with what's going on. But if not,

322
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: we already got some good ball players and let them play.

323
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: And that I love you guys. Happy Friday, all both

324
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: of you, man, And yeah, I have a good day.

325
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend. Thank you so much for taking

326
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: our call. Thanks Butch, and I'll respond to it. And

327
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: I get you right, Um, I know exactly where you're

328
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: coming from. But here's what you gotta remember between here's

329
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: where I'm at with that. You may be right about

330
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Quintin Jefferson, Mario Addison and Vernon and Vernon Butler. You

331
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: may be right about those guys that you know. You

332
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: like Darryl Johnson better Ed Oliver, We like bet A Japanessa.

333
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: It's all the young guy got the younger. I get it.

334
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: But Daryl Johnson didn't play a whole lot on defense

335
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: last Yeah, here's here's what I Here's where I'm at, Butch,

336
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: And it's not in the exact same place you are.

337
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: But I know this. They're moving all these guys around

338
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: a lot during these first three games this first month

339
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: of the season. And I know what you're saying about, Hey,

340
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: put this guy here, put this guy there, put that

341
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: guy there. Yes, I agree with you there, but they're

342
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: doing that. They're putting these guys in combinations on the field.

343
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: And I still think they are really really experimenting to

344
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: find the best combinations. I really believe they're still doing that,

345
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: they have not decided on their best four in what combination.

346
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: They have not decided on which guys are best in

347
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: down in distance combinations. They haven't decided which four guys

348
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: are the best. Like this guy may stink with these

349
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: other three guys, but he's really good with this two

350
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: other guys. That kind of thing. They're still finding out

351
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: about the rotation they like on their defensive line and

352
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: their productions, showing that I don't think they're there yet,

353
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: and they will get there. I am fully confident of

354
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: because I do believe this is a more talented defensive

355
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: line than it was a year ago because of Mario

356
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: and Quentin and Vernon. I think those guys bring something

357
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: to it that is more so that it's more than

358
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: what they lost with Shack and Jordan Phillips. So I

359
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in this D line. But

360
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: I do know this. They are rotating and shuffling those

361
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: guys around so much. It's not because they can't they

362
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: don't know what. It's because they don't know exactly who's best.

363
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: So I think gives you got to be patient for me.

364
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: I think you got to show some patience, and certainly

365
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: their production is not what it was last year, but

366
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: I think it will get there. I'm confident of it,

367
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: and Butch as much as I think we're all encouraged

368
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: about the youth on that defensive line. The four guys

369
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned, chiefly Harrison Phillips, Ed Oliver, Daryl Johnson and

370
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: aj Epinessa. As we know, Epinessa was not here contributing

371
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: to this defense last year. Daryl Johnson didn't get a

372
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: ton of snaps on the defensive side of the ball

373
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: last season, Harrison Phillips was lost for the year by

374
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Week three, and ed Oliver wasn't a full time starter

375
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: until the second half of the season because Jordan Phillips

376
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: was out playing him. So I respect what you're saying

377
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: about those young guys, and I think in a year

378
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: or two time, those might be your starting four, But

379
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: I don't think it's happening now. This is a coaching

380
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: staff that traditionally relies chiefly on players that have more experience,

381
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: that have been through the battles and that have produced.

382
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: As coach McDermott says, all the time, you've got to

383
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: earn your time on the field, and it takes longer

384
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: usually for rookies to get on the field right away.

385
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: There are exceptions. Tredavious White's one, Tremaine Edmonds is two,

386
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: but even Josh Allen got on the field by circumstance

387
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: more than anything else. So I think Darryl Johnson is

388
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: still earning his stripes. Harrison Phillips by coach Leslie Fraser's

389
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: own admission, is still not all the way back from

390
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: what we're two knee surgeries last offseason, one on each leg,

391
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: and he's not one hundred percent ready to play, or

392
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: he's at least not the Harrison Phillips that we remember

393
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: from last year prior to the injury. He's just not

394
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: there yet. And as Steve pointed out, you've got new

395
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: pieces on the defensive line, more new pieces on the

396
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: defensive line than you have anywhere else on your entire

397
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: football team. So there is a jelling that has to

398
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: take place there, and I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna

399
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: point out something that Micah Hyde said this week when

400
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: he was asked about the deficiencies on defense right now.

401
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: He said, Look, we had a ramp up to the

402
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: regular season in training camp, but we had one practice

403
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: which was essentially the scrimmage, where we came close to

404
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: tackling people to the ground, didn't even completely tackle to

405
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: the ground. In that he said, without any preseason, we

406
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: essentially went six weeks and getting ready for the regular

407
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: season without tackling someone live in a live setting. And

408
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: to expect a team to go out and effectively tackle

409
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: after not practicing it live is not realistic. And I

410
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: think they're using these first three or four games as

411
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: their preseason. And Steve, you know, we've talked about this too.

412
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: Scoring is at an all time high. Games are averaging

413
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: fifty one points a game total between the two teams

414
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: each week on average. Part of the reason it's up

415
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: so high is because the tackling is so poor, because

416
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: defensive players are rusty. They have not tackled a human

417
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: being in the better part of nine months in a

418
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: live setting, and then they trot out on the field

419
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: and it's like, we'll go do it for sixty five plays?

420
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: What what like? That's not just gonna happen by osmosis.

421
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: So I think these first three games have largely become

422
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: the preseason for defensive players, and that's why I think

423
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: the offensive teams or offense in general, is having a

424
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: lot more success out of the gate here. Yeah, I

425
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: agree with that. That's true, all of that, and it

426
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: is going to take a while for these teams to

427
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: feel comfortable and tackle away. We want saw him tackle

428
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: and I think too we've seen it with the officiating

429
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: as well, no holding calls. I mean, the offense is

430
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: getting getting the best of it here a little bit,

431
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: because you know, the defense is being has gotten. The

432
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: short is getting the short end of the stick and

433
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: the way these games are officiated. Let's go back to

434
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: the phones. We're going to go to Mike and North Townawanda, Mike,

435
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Thanks for joining us, Hey, guys.

436
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: First thing I got to mention is the fact that

437
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: Steve is not in the Hall of Fame is a crime.

438
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: Claim and simple. We'll get the wanted signs up, all right, Yeah,

439
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: ready to go to war. I think the Bills are

440
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: not getting the credit they deserve, and especially Josh Allen.

441
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: At times the best thing they get is a backhanded compliment.

442
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? There is no quarterback and I

443
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: played football for twenty years. There is no quarterback I

444
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: would rather protect from the left tackle position than Josh Allen.

445
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: And the thing that people just don't understand is this

446
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: guy is one of the greatest competitors we have ever seen.

447
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose track of my thought and

448
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: gets side tracked. But damn it, um, something's got to change. Well, well,

449
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: they keep winning and it will change. And I will

450
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: say this, they are getting more and more attention with

451
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: each passing week. And when they beat the Rams last week,

452
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: I think there was some deserved attention. And credit, yeah,

453
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: mine to the Bills. Don't get caught up in the attention, Mike.

454
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: That comes when you when you win and win consistently.

455
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: The and the and the Bills have done that. They

456
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs last year, and they're off to

457
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: a great start this year. And and we came across

458
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: some stats on Josh Allen last Let's face it, last year,

459
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: he's made a huge step. But it's gonna take a

460
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: while to convince a lot of people, even though it's

461
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: it's been three games and we've seen it. U, let's

462
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: face it last year. Let me just get this this. Well,

463
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: this completion percentage is up twelve percent from last year.

464
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: He was last in the National Football League and qualified

465
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for completion percentage. This year, he is what is he? Second?

466
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: What is that? Where is that graphic? That that Jay Berna?

467
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't get it anyway. Uh, he's like thirty.

468
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: I said, right, hold on, I'm gonna I'm gonna get

469
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: this right here it is. He was lad. Now he's

470
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: seventh in completion percentage, seventh in the National Football League

471
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: last last year, seventh this year this year in yards

472
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: per game. Last year, he was thirtieth in yards per

473
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: game passing. This year he's second in yards per game passing.

474
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: Last year he was tied for twenty first in the

475
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: NFL in TD passes. This year so far, he's second

476
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: in the league, right behind Russell Wilson who's airing it out.

477
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: But he's uh. And in passer rating. Last year, of course,

478
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: we all know, he was like twenty fourth in the

479
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: league in passer rating. This year he's second. He's taken.

480
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: This is not a baby step. It was a giant league.

481
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: It's a giant leap, and quite frankly, nobody was ready

482
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: for it. We thought, you know, we were, you know,

483
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: put he'd be better. Yeah, we were putting the big

484
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: spin on it, like, yeah, he's gonna be better, he's

485
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna be getting another jump about six percent in completion.

486
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: Thing that happened that would be good. Yeah, there's a

487
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: ton of things that happened simultaneously. One, he kept getting

488
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: better himself. He's thrown it better. As mechanics are better,

489
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: his decision making is better. The continuity and the experience

490
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: in the offense has really aided him early in the

491
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: go In this goings expanded. All the stuff he's got

492
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: better throws. His mechanic's the deep ball that's better. He

493
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: worked on all this stuff and he's better and the

494
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: team is better. Steph Diggs has made a huge difference,

495
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, huge difference Cole Beasley, John Brown, and Gabriel Davis,

496
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: who is a big unknown coming in now with Jabe Davis.

497
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: Forget the tight end, we're going four wide. That's a

498
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: huge difference. It spreads out the field and that's forced

499
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: the defense is to spread out. That forces the defense

500
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: for Josh to even recognize him even more. So, that's

501
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: another exponential layer of ease that has made it better

502
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: for Josh pre snap. So all this stuff has come

503
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: together and he has taken because of his hard work

504
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: and all the support he's gotten and the fact that

505
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: everybody's pulling in the same position, the same direction in

506
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: the organization, it's aided him. So he got this confluence

507
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: of events his third year of experience, the coaching staff's continuity,

508
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: the upgrade and the talent around him, and his own

509
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: improvement within his experience. Now you've got this guy that's

510
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: at the top of the league and we're three weeks

511
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: into it. I mean three he's thirty games into his career.

512
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: Were only three weeks. Not everybody's sold And yeah, for

513
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: us who watch every week, you know, I mean Steve

514
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: and I told you this his first year as a starter,

515
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: when he almost single handedly won that game down in Miami,

516
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: the Charles Clay drop game when they lost twenty one seventeen.

517
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean I came in here on Monday with him

518
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: and Murph and I said, the Bills have their quarterback.

519
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: And Murph's like, really, I said, yeah, he almost single

520
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: handedly won a game that the Bills had no business

521
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: winning or even being in. And that told me that

522
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: they had their guy. He just had to mature and developed.

523
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: And here we are around him. Yeah, And here we

524
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: are two years later, and he's done that in dramatic fashion.

525
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: His curve his learning curve. As Steve said, it's been

526
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: a giant leap. I don't think anybody anticipated this degree

527
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: of improvement this year. I think we all agree that

528
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: he was going to get better, but not to this

529
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: degree this fast. I don't think anybody saw that. It's

530
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: been a blueprint for outside the walls of the building.

531
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: It's been a blueprint for how to handle a young quarterback.

532
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: And I would the fascinating thing to think about here, Brownie,

533
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: is if what if? What if the Jets take Josh

534
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: Allen and the Bills get Sam Darnald. And I know this,

535
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: you talk about Sean McDermott, Brandon be they had a

536
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: different plan. If Sam Darnold would have been their quarterback.

537
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have handled Sam Darnold the way they've handled

538
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. They wouldn't having as many designs he would

539
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: exactly would have been completely different. And but the simple

540
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is this, The fact that he's

541
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: been in the same offense with the same offensive coordinator

542
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: for three and now his third year has been huge.

543
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: The fact that the guy's a smart guy and works

544
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: really hard at getting better. He wants to be great,

545
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: and unlike some other players at lower levels and even

546
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: some guys in the NFL. He doesn't work on the

547
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: stuff he's good at. He works on the stuff he's

548
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: not good at. But he works on everything. And because

549
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: we talked to Brian. We talked to Brian Table this

550
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: week and he said, look, he doesn't just work on

551
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: the things he's not good at. He works on his

552
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: entire game. And that's what you have to do as

553
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback in this league. You can never be satisfied

554
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: with wherever your game is in specific areas. So yes,

555
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: are you working on your weaknesses constantly, but you're also

556
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: working on the things that you do well because you

557
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: want to refine those perfect those and I mean perfect.

558
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Example is the way he's changed his arm angles to

559
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: have different kinds of throws. So the touch he's done

560
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: on throws this year was it non existed eighteen months ago.

561
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: He's done its super recognition, the throwing to the right

562
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: guy almost all the time, if not every single throw.

563
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: We I mean, it's just rare that he's not fine

564
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: to somebody. He's taken a sack here or there. There's

565
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: been some coverage sacks, and he's made some tight throws

566
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: and made some bad decisions. Steph Diggs bailed him out.

567
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: Even in week two, uh in in here in this

568
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: stadium when he tried to fit one in and Steph

569
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: Diggs plucked it over the top of a guy's head

570
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: up there. He has made a leap. And it's not

571
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: like he had to make an enormous leap, but his

572
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: leap in his abilities and his craft coupled with the

573
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: fact that he's more confident what the with what the

574
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: other team is doing to him, and he's got better

575
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: people to exploit those different those the other teams uh

576
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: game plan. All that stuff together has stacked on top

577
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: of his numbers and now all of a sudden's been

578
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: compounded and he went. He went from you know, being

579
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, his critics facing we we all heard it,

580
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: and here's Bills offense. He was still in the lower

581
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: third in the league. Last year. They were tearing their

582
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: people were making jokes about justin twenty points a game.

583
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,239
Speaker 1: Now they're scoring thirty one. Now they're scoring thirty one

584
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: and it's a different story. All right, we have we

585
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: have to take a break because when we were returning

586
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: at his time for Tasker's teammate, the latest in Stallman,

587
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: where we quiz Steve and give him clues and see

588
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: if he can guess which former teammate we are talking about.

589
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: One other quick development, the NFL has announced that the

590
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Steelers Titans game scheduled for this week is now officially

591
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: going to be played on Week seven, and then the

592
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: Steelers Ravens game that was originally scheduled for Week seven

593
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: has now been moved to week eight, So presumably the

594
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: Ravens bye week will switch from week from week eight

595
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: to week seven now because they've moved out of the way,

596
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: so the Steelers and Titans can play in week seven.

597
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you here on One Bills Live.

Speaker 1: number one. Steve, okay go. I was born in Westminster, California,

617
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: but I didn't play football in high school. Glenn Parker,

618
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: Holy crap, you got it in what holy crap? Ba? BA?

619
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: Did you know that? I can't? I knew he didn't

620
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: play football in high school. Wow, Steve, a new record.

621
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: I can guess that. Tune in one note, Glenn, are

622
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: you on the phone? I am here, and you know what,

623
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: talk about the easiest clue. I'm one of about what

624
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: five in the history of the NFL that didn't play

625
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: high school. How are you doing, man, It's great to

626
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: see it. It is great, see Steve, I'm doing fantastic

627
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: are you? Are you not? You're not in the region?

628
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: Are you at West? I am in Tucson, Arizona. I

629
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: kinda I live out here, right. I knew that I

630
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: worked for the university. I kind of travel all over.

631
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time in southern California. Of course,

632
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: I spend my summers in the Fingerlakes of New York.

633
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. I knew that too, And I

634
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: knew Tucson one of my favorite cities. I had a

635
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: family member that lived out there for a few years.

636
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: We go out and visits. Fantastic spot. It's a great spot.

637
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: So you're working for the university, myself and John Feeble

638
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: live about a mile apart. That's right, Yeah, John Fena.

639
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: Funny you should mention John Feena was supposed to come

640
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: on as a Tasker's teammate about a month ago, and

641
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: word leaked out. Somebody set it on a conference call,

642
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: so we couldn't use him. I knew it. The cat

643
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: was out of the bag. So now he's my default guest.

644
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: Poor John Feena has been blackballed from Tasker's teammate, no

645
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: fault of his own. So, hey, you're working for the

646
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: University of very Zona, what are you doing? Do you

647
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: mind come? When he asked, I'm in about three or

648
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: four years ago. When you know you know how to

649
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: sky with broadcast, you're having fun, you're doing it, but

650
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: you're always gone every weekend. You know, I'm sort of

651
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: college game every weekend somewhere. And then I worked for

652
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals on Sundays, so you know, you kind of

653
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: figure out at some point. You know. With my older daughters,

654
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: they were soccer players and not in Tucson. Soccer's a

655
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: winter sports. I really didn't miss much. But my younger too,

656
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: a girl and a boy, twins. They played volleyball and football,

657
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: and I'd never get a chance to see it, right

658
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: if I kept doing the broadcasting. So I kept my

659
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: Cardinals gig because I could do that. But this allowed

660
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: me to be there every Thursday and Friday for volleyball

661
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: football and Saturday again for volleyball before I had to

662
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: go somewhere, So it was a really good change. The

663
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: university came on board, asked me to kind of represent

664
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: them out with our alumni, particularly in the southern Calaria,

665
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: which is where I'm from. And for me it was great.

666
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: I owned a house out there, I could continue to

667
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: go out and surf as much as I want and

668
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: still go out and meet all these alumni and have

669
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 1: fun and then and it just kind of has blossomed

670
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: from there. It's been about four years. Yeah, most people

671
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: don't realize you're a former offensive lineman, of course, but

672
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: you're the kind of the renaissance man. You're you're a

673
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: wine guy before it was cool to be a wine guy.

674
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: You're all you know, all of that stuff. You and you,

675
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: like I said, you're a well read guy and mostly

676
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: and it comes through and you're broadcasting with the way

677
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: you can articulate games and all that. But that what

678
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: was one of the things, one of the great things

679
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: I remember, And it's a story that got told. I

680
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: wasn't there, but the story got told when when you've

681
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: left Buffalo, you pulled out in the classic car convertible

682
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: and waved over the back of your shoulder as you

683
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: pulled out of the out of the tunnels and you

684
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: had a great run here in Buffalo. It wasn't your last. Thus, yeah,

685
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't your last stop on in the NFL. But

686
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: you know, what do you remember about your time in

687
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo and this was really your first opportunity to play

688
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you know, I had. At first, it

689
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: was hard because I stepped in and I was a

690
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: starter on the Old Line and everybody on the Old

691
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: Line and most of our our core group, Steve, which

692
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: you were a part, they were married, they had kids,

693
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: and I was I was single. I was a single

694
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: guy fresh out of college. So it was tough kind

695
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: of finding that niche for a few years. And then

696
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: once you become part of the core yourself, it's it's

697
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: kind of easy. But um, Buffalo was a great town.

698
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: We still go back. My wife's Fum Buffalo. I still

699
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of friends, and I think, you know,

700
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna name him here so I can call

701
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: him out so he can feel good. But I mean,

702
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: let's say, said Fritz hoffmanster Roura the Barbill Fritz, he

703
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: still love that. Yeah, Fritz is my is my member

704
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: member partner at the golf club, so we're close buddies. Yeah,

705
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: I was on his patio last weekend. Yea. Fritz. Fritz

706
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: was part of the reason. It kind of kept me saying,

707
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: if that's possible, anybody that knows Fritz and sanity or not. Yeah,

708
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: usually going to anybody if you compare yourself to Fritz,

709
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: you're the same one. Yeah, well I meant you know

710
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: what I did you say, renaissance, Man, I'm kind of,

711
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm kind of. I'm kind of add I have a

712
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: lot of interest because I can't focus on one thing

713
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: for too long. That's what kept me successful in football.

714
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: I got out of when I left that stadium. I

715
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: let it go. Man. I had to go find other

716
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: things to do, or I would have gone absolutely out

717
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: of my mind trying to focus twenty four seven on

718
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: one subject. Now, glad you're saying you're your summer in

719
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: the finger Lakes. I see you got an Ithaca T

720
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: shirt on? So which Laker beer? Yeah? Which which lake

721
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: are you usually on summertime? Bronk Huga Lake. We're north

722
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: of Ithaca, on the west side of you're Truman's Burg

723
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: Turk Tagantic State Park. My wife's had a place there

724
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: forever and ever, and we were lucky enough to find

725
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: one on the same beach as her as her family,

726
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: and so we've had that now for about twenty years

727
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: and we go back. We're actually trying to get to

728
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: where he can spend three four months a year there

729
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: because we have so many friends in Bubbalo to come

730
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: out and see us that we'd like to return the

731
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: favor and be able to go back to Buffalo and

732
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: spend some time there. Not just go see your mom. Well,

733
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: you're my friends as well. You're missing because the leaves

734
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: are in full turning here. It is spectacularly beautiful in

735
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: western New York these days. You're missing a great spot. Hey, listen, Steve,

736
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: it is It is fall in Tucson. Man. It's one

737
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: hundred and two degrees and I don't I mean it's brisk,

738
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: it's but wear a hat. The other thing we should mention,

739
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: which we did not get to in the clues, since

740
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: you got it in one clue, Steve, but Glenn is

741
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: one of a few people to have played in five

742
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Obviously Beebs is in that group, so is

743
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: Cornelius Bennett, and so is Gail Gilbert, which I that's

744
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: a name I probably wouldn't have guessed with that, So

745
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. And as we know, you know

746
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: played for the Giants and played for the Chiefs. Now,

747
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: tell me, Glenn, if this one's accurate, because I read

748
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: this it said in nineteen ninety eight while playing for

749
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, who were named most valuable player on that team?

750
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: Was that voted on by your teammates? It was? And

751
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: that's that's one of my proudest achievements, is that my

752
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: teammates saw me as the most valuable player. I was

753
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: a starting right tack and an injury like right before

754
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: a game where guy couldn't go, and so I had

755
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: to move to left left guard because we only had

756
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: one backup who was guard, but he was also center

757
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: and he was already playing right. So we had drafted

758
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: a good who could play tackle, so and he went.

759
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: And now about three games later, our left tackle goes

760
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: down and I had to go left tackle the rest

761
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: of the season and the next season. So they saw

762
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: me as willing to switch positions and willing to do it,

763
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I plaied myself on service leadership,

764
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: and that's I'll do what it takes you the team

765
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: to win. I was, you know, I was at my

766
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,479
Speaker 1: time of Buffalo, I played every position other than center,

767
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: and I played that in the preseasons right. To me,

768
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: it's just about let's win games and let's get out there.

769
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: And so I'm proud of the fact that my teammates

770
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: go to that I was at that point, I was

771
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: the only offensive iman in history of the franchise to

772
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: have been named MVP. You played for Marv Levy obviously

773
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, then he went and in Kansas City

774
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: he played for Marty Schottenheimer. Correct? And who and you

775
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: were with? Was it John Fossil in New York for Giants.

776
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: That's that's correct. Compare and contrast those Compare and contrast

777
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: those three head coaches. Well, let's see, um. I would

778
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: say this. To compare them all very football smart and savvy.

779
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: And to contrast them, I think that Marv was better

780
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: at communicating with people and understanding players needs better than

781
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: any coach I've ever been around. And if I was

782
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: to compare the three of them, John Fossil was Fossil

783
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: was much more like Partney. Jim Fossil was much more

784
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: like Marvin that sense. Marty was an old school football guy,

785
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: and he had his way of doing things, no matter what,

786
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: we were going to do them that way. And while

787
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: we were highly successful, I think one of the problems

788
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: you get into is you lose um. You know, I

789
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: think when people think of rest in football, they think

790
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: of physical you're so tired in the reality of the

791
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: mental part is where you're most tiring, where you're more

792
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: likely to make mistakes. You know, you and with mar

793
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: Marv always understood getting our fresh on and giving us

794
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: that that night off to go do what we wanted,

795
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: or that day you know, that half day it can't

796
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: get out and we never did that. In Kansas City.

797
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: Every second of your day was structured to the point

798
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: where you could you had to find time somehow to

799
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: use the restaurant. From the time you got the facility

800
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: to the time you left the facility, it was structured.

801
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: There was no time off. That wears on you mentally

802
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: so much. By the end of the year, right, glad

803
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: we are up against the break. But glad we got

804
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: a chance to catch you up with you. Glad that Steve.

805
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: You made Steve look good. You got you in one clue.

806
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: That's a new record for him. So you are fastest

807
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: answer and tasker's teammate thus far. Well, thank you very much.

808
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: And Steve doesn't need me to make him look good.

809
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: Look at the man still still looks good. Still could

810
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: be what fifty five six? Yeah right, yeah, I could.

811
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: I could be. Yeah, I could be in my early

812
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: sixties almost. Yeah, that's right. Hey, when you come back

813
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo area, give me a call. We'll have dinner.

814
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: I will do that, Steven. Before I leave, I have

815
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: to say one thing. You know, up until just a

816
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: couple of years, I didn't have one of these rooms,

817
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: all this crap, you know, the I love Me room

818
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: in it. I just never did it. But the one

819
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: I have two pictures always up. One of them is

820
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: because it showed up all the time. Is you and

821
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: me on the goal line talking. We took a mutual Yeah,

822
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: we took a knee together on the right hand corner

823
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: of the forward end zone right before just as the

824
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: warmups were yea, as the warm ups were kind of ending. Yeah,

825
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: I remember that. I loved getting your perspective. You just

826
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: talked a little bit. It was great. So you know,

827
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: it's something I did. I still cherished and that picture

828
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: reminds me of those days every time. So thanks for

829
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: having me on guys. I've got that picture too. That's cool.

830
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: That's cool, Glenn. Thanks for spending some time with us.

831
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Take care of Bud. Glenn Parker. His

832
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: nickname was Bubba. Huh yeah, all right, well that makes sense.

833
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: He was He was really really too smart to be

834
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: a football player. I mean yeah, well, I mean he

835
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: could just hear when when he talked to him, very articulate.

836
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: Bubba could start an our argument and you'd be convinced

837
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: you're right, and he'd be said, you're doing a horrible

838
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: job at our Can let me take your side of it.

839
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: He'd switch sides of the argument, he'd win the argument

840
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: from both sides. I wonder if he was on the

841
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: debate team. We'll have to ask him that the next

842
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: time you talk about a guy. Wow, yeah, that's not

843
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: somebody that should be mashing helmets with somebody. He's one

844
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 1: of the all time great ones. He really is. Yeah,

845
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: all right, well, Steve Tasker made a mockery of Tasker's

846
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: teammate this week as he got it on the first clue.

847
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: That is a new record, and it's not one you're

848
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: gonna top unless you just blindly guess it before I

849
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: give the first clue. The next time, John Fena, Yeah,

850
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. But when we return

00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: you'll ever come across the plate in the NFL, it

869
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,319

Speaker 1: can send in any question you might have. We will

873
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: also have the Football Crisis Hotline opening up at the

874
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,840

875

00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: and Steve and I could have a very good solution

878
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: for your problem. But we leave off with Steve on

879
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: the obil mail bag, who says last year the Bills

880
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: offense did not score them any points and the defense

881
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: had to have a mindset of perfection and really limit

882
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 1: giving up points. With the offense scoring so many points

883
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 1: this year, does it make it difficult for the guys

884
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: on defense to get into that perfection mentality. I think

885
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: there's there may be a little bit of something into

886
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 1: that maybe that you know, they playing with the lead

887
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: is a little differently, and the game is called a

888
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: little differently when you've got a double digit lead. But

889
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: also this last year, not too many teams played the

890
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills thinking they were gonna have to score thirty

891
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: seven points to beat them or thirty three points to

892
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: beat them. They came in and they could stay with

893
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: the run, and those games rarely got to a point

894
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: where Buffalo is leading by like that in double digits.

895
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: So you rarely got these teams who are like, you

896
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna We're gonna have to sling it

897
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: around a little bit and start score some points. We've

898
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: gotta start moving the ball and getting some points on

899
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: these drives. We're gonna because the Buffalo is now out

900
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 1: of reach. It was always I mean through sixteen weeks

901
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: there may have been. There wasn't even a handful of

902
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: times that I can think of off the top of

903
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: my head where the Bills had a lead, let alone

904
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: a double digit lead. I'm more than a one score lead.

905
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: So these teams were never in desperation mode against the

906
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: Bills defense last year. And I'm not taking anything away

907
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: from the defense last year. They were tough, they were

908
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: tough to move the ball on and they were they

909
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: were tough in the red zone, but that they don't

910
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 1: They never really faced an office that was absolutely desperate

911
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: to move the ball. And now they've done it three

912
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. It's going to be interesting to

913
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: see where it goes. This is a defense that I

914
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: think most people would agree is built to stop the pass,

915
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: and the Rams didn't have problem throwing on them. They

916
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: did use a run game primarily to set up their

917
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: passing game, but they did have problems in both areas

918
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: to some degree. They still didn't give up anything deep

919
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: or cheap, but the Rams were moving the ball up

920
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: and down the field without too much impedence. So I'm

921
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: with Steve. I believe that this defense will get things

922
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: tightened up. I think there are some moving parts on

923
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: that defensive line. Coach McDermott in his press conference this

924
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: morning before practice, when asked about the defense, the first

925
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: thing he mentioned was the defensive line. He knows that

926
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: that is where there is a little bit of a

927
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: disconnect in terms of player familiarity with the man lining

928
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: up next to you, and that has to be ironed

929
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: out in short order because if you're not if you're

930
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: not playing sound on your first line of defense, it

931
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: makes life difficult for the second and third levels, unquestionably,

932
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: because now you've got people coming at you with a

933
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: head of steam and and it's harder to make the

934
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: play that the defensive line has nine guys on the

935
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: roster week to week, Four of them are new this

936
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: year to the team, and a fifth, Harrison Phillips, didn't

937
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: play at all last year with at Oliver, so you

938
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: can make it. You know. There's a lot of moving

939
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: parts and a lot of new faces on that side

940
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: of the ball and in that spot. So you've got

941
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, Quentin Jefferson, Vernon Davis, Mario Addison and Aja

942
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: Panessa along with Harrison Phillips, who was out you know

943
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: for thirteen or thirteen and a half games last year.

944
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of new faces and a lot

945
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: of new things going on over there that they are

946
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: trying to iron out. And they'll get it because, like

947
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: I said, I really do. I still believe that's a

948
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: more talented group than they were a year ago. It

949
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: just has to all play together. Yeah, it does. All right,

950
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: We have to take a break, but when we return,

951
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,680

963
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: briefing this morning, said he anticipates that John Brown will

964
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: be available for Sunday's game, but did want to see

965
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 1: him at practice today before a final determination was made.

966
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: Zach Moss ed Oliver Dion Dawkins all practice today and

967
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,760

Speaker 1: of the players on Buffalo's injury list. With the Titans

971
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: still away from their facility following an outbreak of COVID nineteen,

972
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: two new positive tests have surfaced. Two Titans players became

973
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: the latest to test positive, adding to the five previous

974
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: players and six personnel members who tested positive earlier in

975
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,160

Speaker 1: Jets quarterback Sam Jarnald suffered a sprainwright shoulder on the

980
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: play that forced him to briefly leave the game in

981
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,760
Speaker 1: Thursday's thirty seven twenty eight loss to the Denver Broncos

982

Speaker 1: at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night. Darnold said he felt

1008
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: Steve and I have seen just about all of it

1009
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: in our time around the league. So we're here to

Speaker 1: one Bills Live as well. You can just hashtag at

1013
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: Football Crisis Hotline and we'll get to that as well.

1014
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: And so that's where some of these currently exist. And

1015
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: the first one is from Chris, and I assure you

1016
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: this is not me sending this into us. He says,

1017
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: I live in Japan and with the time difference. I

1018
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: usually have to get up at two am for Sunday

1019
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: one PM games, not a huge deal. Late kickoffs mean

1020
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: a five fifteen am start and I need to leave

1021
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: for work by seven. Tape delays and avoiding internet for

1022
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: twelve hours straight is tough. What can I do off

1023
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: the top of my head? You've got a DVRT. Of course,

1024
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: if you don't want to or cannot listen to the

1025
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: broadcast of Murph and the other guy on the game

1026
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday while you're doing you can't watch live, no,

1027
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: but if you want to listen to it live, you

1028
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: can do that, and they're apps for that. So but

1029
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 1: I would dv ART. And if you can't avoid knowing

1030
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: the certainly you can avoid knowing the outcome. In Japan,

1031
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean they don't would like to think so, right,

1032
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean Japan could care less about the NFL most.

1033
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: I mean, there is there are fans over there, there's

1034
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: a lot of good fans, but I don't think the

1035
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: media overwhelmings scout it on the ticker, right, They don't

1036
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: have a screen crawl on the thing keeping live updates.

1037
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: So I would say do that if you can, and

1038
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: just DVRT and watch it when you can, or watch

1039
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: listen to it live when on Merp's call. Yeah, and

1040
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: if you're at work, I mean maybe at your place

1041
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: of work, you're not near a laptop. Maybe you don't

1042
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: work on a laptop, you know, maybe you've got a

1043
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: different kind of job. Whether that's not an option. You

1044
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: can always have your phone in your back pocket with

1045
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: an earpiece coming out of that thing. And I'm not

1046
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: going to pretend to know what the Internet protocols are

1047
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: with regard to the airing of network games, but I

1048
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: would like to think that if you have a subscription

1049
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: to NFL Game Pass in Japan, you can watch live games.

1050
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: I would like to think that that is an option

1051
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: for you. I think Hulu would be another option because

1052
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: they have live sports there and in Japan. I don't

1053
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: think you're interfering with any of the regional restrictions that

1054
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: exist in the States, So I think that's an advantage

1055
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: that you might actually have in that situation. So hopefully

1056
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: that helps. From Kenneth, he says, love the show. I

1057
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: listen on radio dot Com to w g R five

1058
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: fifty when I'm in the car, but Sundays I'm on

1059
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: the golf course and I can't find a way to

1060
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: listen to the game on my iPhone. Help. You can

1061
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: do that. You can listen on your iPhone. But but

1062
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Since it's live and it's radio and

1063
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: the rights are restricted, you might have to pay for

1064
00:55:54,880 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: an app to do that. They used to be an

1065
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: app called tune in, where it's like four bucks a

1066
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: month or five bucks a month or something like that,

1067
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's just the broadcast, the radio broadcast of

1068
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: Murph and the other guy. So you can do that.

1069
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: So if you've got to kind of track it down,

1070
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: you go on, you try and listen, and what happens

1071
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: is gr kind of starts to play the pregame over it, right,

1072
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you this is how I found

1073
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: out because for twenty two decades, I couldn't watch Bills

1074
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,919
Speaker 1: games live unless I was doing them for CBS, and

1075
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: I was any So I've never been had a Sunday

1076
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: off for a couple of decades. So my first Sunday

1077
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: off last year, sure enough, I was on the golf

1078
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: course and I was gonna it was gonna be great.

1079
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 1: I was by myself. The place was vacant, right, because

1080
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,439
Speaker 1: it was here in Buffalo. Nobody's right. So I'm I'm

1081
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: listening to it, and all of a sudden, I started saying, Wow,

1082
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: that's they're doing that again. And I'm looking it's like

1083
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: it's like one fifteen. I'm like, the game's not live

1084
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: on GR on the on my because I was on

1085
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: the internet, right, I was on the GR No, so

1086
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: you're in a fifteen. I didn't have a radio. I

1087
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: didn't have a radio radio. Yeah, you have to listen

1088
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: to GR on the radio, not on the internet, right,

1089
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: Because so then I had to figure it out and

1090
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: I downloaded the app and that, and so I finally

1091
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: got the game. Okay, that's what you gotta do. You

1092
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: gotta track down which app is good in your area

1093
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: for watching the NFL games live, and you can get

1094
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: the Bills game that way. Yeah, and I know the

1095
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: NFL app is pretty good too. I just don't know

1096
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,439
Speaker 1: what the regional restrictions are. I'm not going to exactly.

1097
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: From from Heather Chris, here is our situation. Me and

1098
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: two of my gal pals here in Texas make it

1099
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: a point to watch every Bills game. My husband is

1100
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: fully aware of the September to February Sunday rituals and

1101
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: has now accepted this. But one gal pal is newly married. Uh,

1102
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: one gal pal is newly married, and I'm guessing her

1103
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: husband doesn't approve. It's kind of worded strange here. How

1104
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: can we get her to see the good in this? Oh,

1105
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: now she's married and she doesn't want to spend every

1106
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: Sunday with her girlfriends. And she was part of this

1107
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: crew that watched games every Sunday. Now she's married and

1108
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: she's out. All right, here's what you do. You gotta

1109
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: you gotta take it up a notch on your making

1110
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: it more of an event than just a two year

1111
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: the three year girls. You gotta be more enticing. Gotta

1112
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: be more enticing, you know, you've got to. You've gotta

1113
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: up the andy and make it's like wow, what she's like,

1114
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: she's gotta have. You gotta give her a good case

1115
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: of fomo, the fear of missing out. Yeah, you gotta make.

1116
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: You gotta up the andy. You gotta get you gotta

1117
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: bring in live bands. You gotta bring in you know,

00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: over the top. You gotta go over the two Sundays

1120
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: to make it feel like it's a can't miss thing exactly.

1121
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: You've got to enhance the attractiveness. Where it was just

1122
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: the three of you going out and watching it, it

1123
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: was just you know. Now you gotta makeing an event.

1124
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: Get find a venue, either one of your houses or whatever,

1125
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: and do it up big, and she's gotta get you.

1126
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: Gotta get her back into it. You gotta make the

1127
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: party bigger. Yeah, whether yeah, whether you're doing it outside,

1128
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you're down in Texas. You guys can be

1129
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: outside for a long time right um into the football

1130
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:19,439
Speaker 1: season and she's yeah, whether you're busting out the long

1131
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: games you know to use to use during commercial breaks,

1132
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: whether you got the drinking games rolling you know, turbot

1133
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: cups is always a good one. So yeah, you gotta

1134
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 1: make it an event and roll the husbands into it

1135
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: if you have to, Yeah, at least, I mean, and

1136
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: if you do it in an outdoor venue, the husbands

1137
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: can go over there and do their thing, so she

1138
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like she's even her husband behind. You can

1139
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 1: figure the husbands are watching, the ladies can still hang

1140
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: out and do their thing. The husbands are probably watching

1141
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: that Chiwboys or something that's a last resort, though, But

1142
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do. You gotta create an incentive,

1143
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: and plus you might have to do it for a

1144
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: short time, include more people than you actually want to,

1145
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: and then gradually, as the season wears on, or as

1146
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: the years, you'll gradually weed everybody out and you'll be

1147
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: back to the three of you. Football Crisis Hotline eight

1148
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

1149
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: two five fifty Steve Tasker Chris Brown here to help you.

1150
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: Another query coming in on Twitter from Sue. My husband

1151
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: sometimes sits down when I'm watching the game. How do

1152
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: I tell him this is serious business and I need

1153
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: to focus and watch alone. So there are a lot

1154
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: of these kinds of people, like, for three and a

1155
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: half hours, don't talk to me, don't even be in

1156
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: the same vicinity. I need to focus and lock in

1157
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: for the next three and a half hours, don't talk

1158
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: to me unless you're feeding me something. And even then

1159
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: some people don't even want that. These are the isolationist viewers.

1160
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Leave the refreshments and leave. I get it. It's a

1161
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: hard one. It's a hard one because certainly just sitting

1162
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: down in the same room is not a problem. But

1163
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: we all know that's not where your issue is. Your

1164
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: issue is not notoriously they sit down and start talking, right,

1165
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: that's an issue. That's what you gotta set up. Ground

1166
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: You gotta set the ground us say no, no, honey,

1167
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: you can come in and sit down, but you gotta

1168
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: shut up. Yeah. Ground rule number one. If you're going

1169
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: to sit in this room while this game is on,

1170
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: there can be no interruptions. Right. The only time you

1171
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: are permitted to speak to me is during commercial breaks.

1172
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: At that time, if you have any questions you want

1173
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: to start a conversation, we can do that as long

1174
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: as you understand that that conversation ends when we're back

1175
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: to the action and the commercial break is over. When

1176
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,479
Speaker 1: there so, I think if you're rolling, when they're rolling

1177
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: the banners of the you know they got the field

1178
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: in the background, they're rolling the state farm banner and

1179
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the bud light banner, and that that's when your conversation

1180
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: has to get close up. That's it. So just lay

1181
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: out a series of ground rule. You got to bend

1182
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: a little bit here. You got to allow the husband

1183
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: in the room to watch the game with you, because

1184
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: he's trying to be a part of it. Well, you

1185
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: don't have to. You don't have to compromise. All you

1186
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: have to do is make sure that because when they

1187
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: you gotta make it like you're you're the one that's

1188
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: you got to make it seem like you're start making

1189
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: the sacrifice. You can sit here find that's fine. You

1190
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: can sit here and find if you But you know,

1191
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: all you have to do is be quiet. And then

1192
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: when they start talking, which they invariably will, then you

1193
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: have the grounds and say listen, I told you had

1194
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: to be quiet, and you just point to the door.

1195
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: So that's what you gotta do. You guys say you

1196
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: can certainly come in. I'd love to have you come

1197
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: watch the game as long as you be quiet and

1198
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: they can't do it, so you'll win if they if

1199
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: they invariably fail in that, then yes, then you gotta

1200
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: put the hand. Then you win. You get aid the

1201
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: gown rules. They can't live up to them. Last one

1202
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: here that we have from Dinah, She says, I live

1203
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: outside of the Buffalo area. What do I do if

1204
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 1: the Chargers Buccaneers game runs long, I'll miss the start

1205
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: of the game. So yeah, when you live outside the

1206
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo area, they will not preempt a game that might

1207
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 1: be running long to get you to the game that

1208
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: they know you would have interest in based on where

1209
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: you live. So if you're living outside of the Buffalo

1210
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: area and you have Chargers Bucks at one o'clock and

1211
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: the thing goes into overtime, you could be in a

1212
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: little bit of a mess there. Did you see the

1213
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: broadcast map of the Bills Raiders game countrywide map? I

1214
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,479
Speaker 1: did not see it yet. Is it going just about

1215
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: everywhere or no? Oakland, Vegas, Western New York? Everybody else

1216
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: sees Patriots? Yeah, everybody else. Wow, it's like ninety five

1217
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: percent of the country is seeing the Bill. The Bills.

1218
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: The Bills Raiders game is the skim milk game of

1219
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: the week. It's the one percent of the country, which

1220
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: is one of the few games with with two teams

1221
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: with winning records. I think there's only about it's not

1222
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: only five games this week with both teams with winning records. Yeah,

1223
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to see the Bills. And it

1224
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: should be a high scoring game. It should be a

1225
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: really it should be a fun game. Yeah, so worried

1226
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: you missed the start of the game outside the viewing area.

1227
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: That's hard. Yeah, it's tricky unless you're happy with like

1228
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,919
Speaker 1: we say, the radio call. Right, and again, I want

1229
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: to say that, I want to say NFL Game Pass

1230

Speaker 1: can help you here. Um, you know if you subscribe,

1231
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,760

01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: game Pass on game day, right, I listen to the

1233
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,200

1236
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: overtime game between the Chargers. And here's the thing too,

Speaker 1: weekly guest this time and it is one Greg co

1258

Speaker 1: Show with Matt Bowen and Sal Palantonio. So, Greg, how

1260
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: are we doing this week? Hey? Well, it looks like

1261
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: with all that's happened, at least we're playing football on

1262
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: Sunday and that's a good thing. Well, some of us,

1263
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, don't seem to be no no, no

1264
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee in Pittsburgh or not. But but on a more

1265
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: positive note, make sure that you pump up with everybody

1266
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: you know. I forget what time my Matchup show is

1267
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: on because it changes every week, but I know they

1268
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: have the little blue buttons on their remote to make

1269
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: sure you can find it. Because I did a piece

1270
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: on Josh Allen this week. Oh good that what is it?

1271
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: What is it? Center around just all of his improvements

1272
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: or did you say things? You know what I did.

1273
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: It's very hard for us sometimes to do pieces on

1274
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: second reaction plays just because very often there's not a

1275
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: tactical element to those for any quarterback. So I actually

1276
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: took the consecutive plays late on that second quarter touchdown drive,

1277
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: the one to Gabriel Davis for twenty one yards followed

1278
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 1: by the Cole Beasley twenty nine yard completion. I did

1279
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: those two plays because it was a very good combination

1280
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: of scheme and execution, attacking Cover four on both plays,

1281
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 1: So I thought it came out pretty well. Yeah. I

1282
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: don't think he doesn't make that throw to Cole Beasley

1283
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: in last year or the certainly not the year before.

1284
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Even Cole Beasley said he was impressed by that throw. Yeah,

1285
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: well that was I mean, obviously Beasley was open because

1286
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: they did a really nice job attacking and breaking down

1287
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: Cover four and the rules and responsibilities of the defenders

1288
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: in Cover four. But that was still a really good throw.

1289
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean he put it to him right on a

1290
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: line and with precise ball placement, which is something we

1291
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: always talked about with Josh that needed to be more

1292
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: consistently better. And I think he's he's moving in that direction.

1293
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: He still has you know, it's it's like the Jimmy

1294
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Hendricks experience. We still get the Josh Allen experience every

1295
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: once in a while that you're just not exactly sure.

1296
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I don't know. I don't know

1297
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: if you want to coach that out of him or

1298
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 1: just hope that as he plays more he kind of

1299
01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: figures that out by himself. Yeah. I think the difference though,

1300
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: with the Josh Allen experience, as you call it, is

1301
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 1: those are fewer and further between. They might still rear

1302
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: their ugly head every once in a while. But if

1303
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: anybody told you at the beginning of the season that

1304
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen would face this Rams team and not only

1305
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: go for over three hundred yards and account for every

1306
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 1: touchdown in the game, but that he would also only

1307
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: have eleven in completions, I don't think anyone would have

1308
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: believed that if if they knew he threw at thirty

1309
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: five times in the game. Right. Well, the other thing too,

1310
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: Say what you want about Josh Allen and you know

1311
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: how coaches are in particularly defensive kid coaches of course,

1312
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 1: which is Sean mcdermot's background. Say what you want about

1313
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: him at times, seeing seeming reckless and chaotic, but he

1314
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: does not throw interceptions. I saw some stat you guys

1315
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: would have this that over the last certain number of

1316
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: games he has thirty three touchdowns and three interceptions us.

1317
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 1: Is that correct last fourteen game? Yeah? Yeah, So I mean,

1318
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: say what you want about him being a little chaotic

1319
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,600
Speaker 1: and frenetic or whatever word you want to use, he

1320
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: does not throw a lot of interceptions. We've been talking

1321
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: a lot about what personnel the Bills have had on

1322
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 1: the field, a lot of and they've had fifty reps

1323
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: of ten personnel and the rest of the league has

1324
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: only had ninety two reps. What advantage of the Bills

1325
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 1: getting by that with those personnel combinations, Well, number one,

1326
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: I think it helps to define things for Josh, some

1327
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,640
Speaker 1: of those come out of pure empty some of them

1328
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 1: still have a back who's in the backfield. And it

1329
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: also puts a burden on a defense because they have

1330
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,560
Speaker 1: to decide how they want to play that and what

1331
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: you're trying to do for a quarterback Steve and you

1332
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: well know this. I remember when you and I talked

1333
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 1: years ago about the K gun and you told me

1334
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: one of the reasons you go to the K guns

1335
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: it could it really helped Jim Kelly pre snap to

1336
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 1: find things. I think you do that because it helps

1337
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Josh define the defense because not many defenses can match

1338
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 1: up man to man across the board versus four wide receivers,

1339
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: so it helps define and give Josh Allen more information

1340
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 1: before the ball snapped. I want to flip it around

1341
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 1: and look at this Raiders team and their personnel usage,

1342
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: because you know, as every as excited as everyone is

1343
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: in Buffalo about thirty one points per game by the Bills,

1344
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders are averaging twenty nine point three points per game,

1345
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: and so you know, I took a little bit closer

1346
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: look there, and they're using eleven personnel about half the time,

1347
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: which I don't think came as any surprise to me.

1348
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: But then twelve and twenty two personnel the next most

1349
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: popular personnel groupings for them. And I know they love

1350
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 1: to run Josh Jacobs, but Josh is a little nicked,

1351
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:43,679
Speaker 1: but maybe even more nicked. Greg is their receiving corps,

1352
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,680
Speaker 1: so knowing they could potentially be down Brian Edwards and

1353
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs this week, do you think the percentages go

1354
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: up for twelve and twenty two personnel to try to

1355
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: pound the ball at this Bill's defense. I think that's

1356
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: a given, Chris. I think this is a Josh Jacobs game,

1357
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: and Josh Jacobs is a great, great back, and I

1358
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: think you'll see him as a volume runner this week.

1359
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: You'll see the zone run game. I think they feature

1360
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: that quite a bit. And then clearly I don't think

1361
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 1: the Bills run defense was particularly good this past week.

1362
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously, I'm sure a lot of

1363
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 1: fantasy people love Henderson now, but there were so many

1364
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: of those runs as you guys saw, where the point

1365
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: of attack was clean and he'd just attacked downhill with

1366
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: burst in speed. He did not have to make many cuts,

1367
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: so and there's a reason for that obviously, right at

1368
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: the point of attack, the d line got handled. And

1369
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: then I thought there were a number of times where

1370
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: the linebacker level overran plays and got out of their gaps.

1371
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: So they need to clean that up because I think

1372
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: this will be a Josh Jacobs game. As far as

1373
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders offense is concerned. Yeah, the only way I

1374
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,600
Speaker 1: could see the Bills getting out of I think the

1375
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: Raiders plan, most notably would probably be to grind it

1376
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: out and keep Josh Allen off the field so that

1377
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: they don't have a chance to have enough possessions to

1378
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: score thirty points. I mean, right, do you think you'd

1379
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 1: be saying that last year? You're shaking my head now,

1380
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean it really looks like I mean, that's where

1381
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: we're shaking my head. Now. That's where conversation though, right,

1382
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean that that seems like if you back to

1383
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 1: old school, that's exactly what they would be saying. Oh,

1384
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: without question, without question. I mean, this build's offense has

1385
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: become explosive. You know, I think the area that trash

1386
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: has really improved. Just to get back to him for

1387
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 1: a second, Chris, if I could, because the intermediate throws,

1388
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: you saw it against man to man versus Miami, and

1389
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: Miami played a high percentage man coverage, and he made

1390
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:37,639
Speaker 1: some really good intermediate throws leading receivers balls that required

1391
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: some touch and pace. Even the play we just talked

1392
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: about with Beasley. You know, I'm not talking about throwing

1393
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: the ball fifty yards down the field, which obviously he's

1394
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: more than capable of. And we just saw that design

1395
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: a boot rollout a shot play where he hit Gabriel

1396
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Davis for thirty nine yards. But his accuracy has improved

1397
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 1: pretty much, pretty significantly on those intermediate throws, which are

1398
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 1: to me are a major part of Ryan Dable's offense.

1399
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:08,680
Speaker 1: They like to have those intermediate vertical route concepts. What

1400
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: did the New England Patriots do to take Darren Waller

1401
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: out of the game. The Bills played the Dolphins two

1402
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago, Mike Kisiki had all kinds of capass receptions

1403
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 1: from the tight end spot. Darren Waller's a really good

1404
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: tight end and the New England Patriots last week took

1405
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: him completely out of the game. They doubled him quite

1406
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 1: a bit. You know, that's the Bill Belichick way, as

1407
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: you guys know that in specific situations he will double

1408
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 1: They also, you know, New England did a really good

1409
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: job and I'm very anxious to see if Sean does this.

1410
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: Everybody just thinks about New England. Hey, they play man

1411
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: to man coverage, but they also do a really good

1412
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: job playing cover two and spinning to it, you know,

1413
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: disguising it and late movements spinning to cover two. If

1414
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, that's what they did on the safety

1415
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 1: with Carr where they got the safety where they showed

1416
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: pressure and then they spun to cover too and car

1417
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: got stuck, you know, because he was planning on probably

1418
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: pressure and man and then they laid movement caught him.

1419
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 1: So you know, I think New England is a team

1420
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: that does a lot of that. I think there are

1421
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: times we see Buffalo do a lot of that as well,

1422
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 1: the disguise in a late movement, and Sean has a

1423
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: definite history of doing that. I wanted to talk to

1424
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: you Greg about Brian Dable. As much credit as Josh

1425
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: has gotten, Dabel has done a great job in crafting

1426
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: this offense around his strengths. And then he'll also throw in,

1427
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, the unexpected personnel grouping or formation and I

1428
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 1: thought he did that last week with the Rams where

1429
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: they look completely out of sorts. When he put the

1430
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: pistol formation on the field, he ran it only about

1431
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: seven times by my count, but six runs out of

1432
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: pistol and six runs out of pistol last week for

1433
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: the Bills forty eight yards I mean eight yards per

1434
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: carry average, and then he ran it on the last

1435
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: play of the game on the game winning touchdown pass

1436
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: the Tyler Croft Just what does the pistol do? I mean,

1437
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: the Rams didn't look like they were expecting it. I

1438
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: don't know that it does too much terribly, but the

1439
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: Rams had problems with it, you know, Chris, I'm not

1440
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: a decoordinator, but it seems to me it shouldn't be

1441
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, again, maybe it was a flukey

1442
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: thing that they happened to get good runs on it.

1443
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how Brandon Staley, the decoordinator, you know,

1444
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 1: if he had anything special that was supposed to happen

1445
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 1: when they went pistol. But to me, again, I don't

1446
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 1: want to speak like I know, because maybe I'm missing

1447
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: something here that I really don't know. And hey, that's

1448
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: very very possible, But I just don't see how that

1449
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: should cause a big problem for what you do defensively. Yeah,

1450
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 1: one of the things, and we talk talk about what

1451
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 1: people see when they look at the Bills, and I

1452
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 1: think one of the pleasant surprises about their offense has

1453
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: been their ability to get a rookie wide receiver in

1454
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis and find a way to get him on

1455
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: the field. I think that doesn't happen unless during training camp,

1456
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: and this behind closed doors training camp in practice, we've

1457
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: all missed that. Gabriel Davis must have done a lot

1458
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: to impress this coaching staff to have them plug him

1459
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 1: in very early in his rookie season. This hasn't been

1460
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: a coaching staff that does that a lot. Even with that,

1461
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: Oliver aj Panessa was inactive his first game. But this rookie,

1462
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: this wide receiver has been up every He's been up

1463
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 1: every week and he's playing. What do you see in him?

1464
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: He gets snapped? Yeah, well, I'll tell you what. To me.

1465
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: It speaks to how intelligent he must be, because I

1466
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys know this, but I mean

1467
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: I evaluated him coming out of college and he basically

1468
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: in college lined up literally outside the numbers two three

1469
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: yards from this sideline. That's where he lined up on

1470
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 1: the left side of the formation literally on every snap.

1471
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 1: So he did not have a lot of experience lining

1472
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 1: up in different spots. Because when you line up in

1473
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 1: different spots, Steve, you know this your receiver, you know,

1474
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: it changes how you run rounde It changes a lot

1475
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: of things, and you know they're using him. He lines

1476
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: up outside, he lines up in this, he lines up

1477
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: if there. If it's trips, he lines up as the

1478
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 1: inside slots of trips. He lines up his number two

1479
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: to trips. So he's lining up in multiple spots, um,

1480
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 1: you know, multiple receiver locations. And obviously they wouldn't ask

1481
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: him to do that if he couldn't do it, because

1482
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, coaches, they don't ask you to do something

1483
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: you can't do because they need to trust that you'll

1484
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 1: do it. So I don't know Gabriel Davis. I'm sure

1485
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: you guys have talked to him, but he must be

1486
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: a very very smart kid. Yeah, I mean they've said

1487
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: that that's whatever. And in this system, all the receivers

1488
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: have to know all the spots, so he wouldn't be

1489
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: getting on the field if he didn't know it. And

1490
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: they even revealed to us, some of the players did

1491
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: this week that on the fourth and goal play that

1492
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 1: drew the past interference flag that in the huddle, Davis's

1493
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:50,679
Speaker 1: assignment was changed right before they lined up for the play.

1494
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: He was supposed to line up in one of the

1495
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: receiver's spots and they changed it. They said, no, we

1496
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: needs over on the left side of the formation, you're

1497
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,560
Speaker 1: gonna line up here. So he was doing that on

1498
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: the floor on a fourth down, on a fourth down

1499
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 1: at the end of the game when they needed a touchdown. Well,

1500
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, and it never hurts to make a great

1501
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: catch here and there, like he did on the touchdown

1502
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,600
Speaker 1: last week when Josh had to leave the pocket. You know,

1503
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 1: he's he's a very gifted kid. I made a note

1504
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: of that when I evaluated him, that he had a

1505
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: lot of talent and he's a big kid, good sized kid.

1506
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: I think he was six two two sixteen at the combine.

1507
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: But like I said, you know, he lined up in

1508
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,640
Speaker 1: one place in college his last year and it was

1509
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: pretty much two three yards from the sideline. So you know,

1510
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: he's obviously taken in everything they've asked him, and particularly

1511
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: in a pandemic off season two where he wasn't on

1512
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 1: the field. What about the Raiders run defense, It's been

1513
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: an issue and it really was bad last week against

1514
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots, who rolled up two fifty on him, and

1515
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: their yards per carry against has gone up and up

1516
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: and up with each passing week. I know they've been

1517
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: without Quiet Koski, their middle linebacker recently and I know

1518
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Littleton's banged up now, so two of their story aring

1519
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 1: linebackers not healthy, and that's certainly an issue. But what

1520
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 1: is it that every team they've played so far this season, Carolina,

1521
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and New England have all found no problems

1522
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 1: getting routine games on the ground. Well, they gave up

1523
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: a thirty eight yard run to Sony Michelle and a

1524
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: forty eight yard run to Sony Michelle last week, and

1525
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 1: obviously that's a problem, but those came out of twenty

1526
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: one personnel. The Patriots played a lot with a fullback,

1527
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 1: as they often like to do. Obviously that will not

1528
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: be the case with the Bills, So we'll see. Because

1529
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: when you look at the personnel of the Raiders, it

1530
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: doesn't look like it's a bad group, you know. I

1531
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: think they're linebackers are a little light. Morrow and Lyttleton

1532
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: will be are there nickel linebackers. They'll probably be in

1533
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: nickel an awful lot in this game. They're speed players,

1534
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: movement players. They are not physical players, so I think

1535
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: that does factor into the equation. UM when they do

1536
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: play bass. They traded for McMillan, the former Ohio State linebacker. UM,

1537
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 1: but I don't know how much he'll be on the

1538
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: field against the Bills. The Bills. The Bills. One thing

1539
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: about the Bills, they've not been a bass personnel offense,

1540
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,719
Speaker 1: not this year, right right, it's yeah. They In fact,

1541
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: the only guy that I could even masquerade as a

1542
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: full back wears an eighty two on his jersey, which

1543
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: is Reggie Gilliams. So I don't know who it would

1544
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 1: be that they would put in it as two backs.

1545
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll do that. I don't. I don't

1546
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 1: think the Raiders play because, if I'm not mistaken, Damon

1547
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,679
Speaker 1: Arnette is out this week. Is that correct? You guys

1548
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 1: probably have the injury report. So now you're getting very

1549
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: very deep into their secondary. And you know, I know

1550
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: they have a kid named Nixon who I don't don't

1551
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: know much about him, but I think you're going to

1552
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: see four wide I think, and then Paul Gun through

1553
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: the DC. For the Raiders, they've not played one stamp

1554
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: of dime this year, and maybe one or two, but

1555
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: they're not They're not a sub dime defense. They're a

1556
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 1: sub nickel defense. So they play with five defensive backs,

1557
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: two of which your safeties. So I think you're going

1558
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: to see the Bills still continue to play with four

1559
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: wide this week because that they had a practice squad

1560
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: corner Madre Harper, who they probably would have called up

1561
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: in the absence of Damon Arnette to their active roster

1562
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: this weekend, and the Giants stole them away, given the

1563
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: kid a signing bonus to convince him to sign with

1564
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 1: the Giants and go to their active rosters. So even

1565
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: their reserves got you know, they got picked one, they

1566
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: won't be available. And I don't, I don't and I don't,

1567
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 1: and I don't think Lester Hayes is available. Yeah, well

1568
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 1: he might be. Actually I don't know if he's gonna help.

1569
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: It won't help. But do you see, so you see

1570
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: this game a little bit like we do. We think

1571
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,640
Speaker 1: these offenses are gonna move the football, I think, on

1572
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: both sides, and it'll come down to, you know, a

1573
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: turn over here and there or maybe a defensive stop.

1574
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: You know, I could be dead wrong. I have a feeling. Again.

1575
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 1: I know it's on the road, and of course fans

1576
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: are not in the stadium, so it's a whole different

1577
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: road feel. But I would expect the Bills defense to

1578
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: play well this week. I don't think there's a ton

1579
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: of weaponry on the Raiders right now. I mean, obviously

1580
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,560
Speaker 1: you got to deal with Waller. I think Jacobs is

1581
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: a top five back in the league, so you got

1582
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: to make sure he's just not rushing twenty five for

1583
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: one fifty. But there's not a lot of weaponry on

1584
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: the perimeter. Renfro is a nice slot receiver, but beyond that,

1585
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 1: you know, with Rugs out, with Edwards out, it's I

1586
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: would expect Sean and Leslie to do a good job

1587
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 1: this week. I got one more bite bills and bills

1588
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,759
Speaker 1: in Raiders before we move on to maybe the Chiefs

1589
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. How is the offensive line for the

1590
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: Raiders playing? They've been nicked up. They've got a couple

1591
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: of guys out there, one of the biggest offensive lines

1592
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: in the league. Yes are they How are they playing well?

1593
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 1: I think Incognito is still out correctly, Yeah right, yeah, yeah,

1594
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 1: he's out. I think when he's there, their old line

1595
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: is actually really good. It's big, it's physical. They've have

1596
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: some athletes as well, so I think that's what they

1597
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 1: have to hang their hat. I mean, I think that

1598
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 1: that's where they can do damage if they play well.

1599
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: So to me, that is sort of what their their

1600
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 1: focus has to be this week. Because the other factor

1601
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: is I think they need to shorten the game a

1602
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 1: little bit. I don't think they want their defense on

1603
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: the field for seventy five snaps. I don't think that's

1604
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 1: that's a good deal. They need to run the ball,

1605
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 1: shorten the game. And I'm not saying win a thirteen

1606
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 1: ten game, but I don't think they can have this

1607
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: Bill's offense run seventy five seventy eight plays last one

1608
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 1: for me, Greg. If Rugs and Edwards are both out

1609
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: for the Raiders, it stands to reason that the Bills

1610
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 1: can really focus all of their attention on Waller and

1611
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 1: really shut him down in a similar way that the

1612
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: Patriots did last week. Is there some element for the

1613
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: Bills to kind of go to school on what the

1614
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: Patriots did defensively in preparing for the Raiders this week? Well,

1615
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,640
Speaker 1: then it comes down to your philosophy. I mean, do

1616
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: you double team? You know again, I can't remember, obviously

1617
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 1: every Sean McDermott game and sit here and say he's

1618
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: he's not a double team guy. Sometimes, you know, a

1619
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,520
Speaker 1: game situation calls for doing that. Could he do it, absolutely,

1620
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he does that the way Belichick does it.

1621
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean Sean would not do it. You know,

1622
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 1: maybe if it's third and six, hey maybe you do

1623
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: double Waller. But you know, we'll see. I mean, I was,

1624
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: I was glad to see Milano and Edmond's both back

1625
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: last week. I think, as I said, they struggled it

1626
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: in the run game, but I think they give them

1627
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: so much in the in past defense. So we'll see

1628
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 1: how he chooses to play it. Um, let me ask

1629
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: you a question. What's Josh Norman's status and how do

1630
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 1: they feel about Levi Wallace? Because you know, I thought

1631
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,679
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace played pretty well last week. They just released

1632
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: they released cam Lewis, the corner that was activated when

1633
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: Josh Norman went on active went on IR. So with

1634
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 1: the release of cam Lewis an open rosters that seems

1635
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: to clear the way for Josh Norman to be activated

1636
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,560
Speaker 1: this week because he practiced all this week, right, And

1637
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 1: we have no idea what that means, but we sus

1638
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: back that maybe Josh Norman will be active and up

1639
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: and how they use him, if they use him, we

1640
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: don't know yet. Yeah, because I mean, I don't know.

1641
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think Leeby Wallace has had some

1642
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 1: some really good games and some snaps in which he's

1643
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 1: clearly struggled, but I think overall he's been solid. Now

1644
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 1: again I'm not charting if we play, but I think

1645
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,040
Speaker 1: overall he's been solid. All right. One last one for me.

1646
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,719
Speaker 1: There's the Bills played four to twenty five against Las Vegas,

1647
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: and now the Chiefs and the Chiefs Patriots are on

1648
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 1: the same time. How do you see the other four

1649
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty five game going the Chiefs Patriots? Well, I'm gonna

1650
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: be fascinated. I mean, the Chiefs Steve Spagnola has become very,

1651
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: very aggressive. You know, I went back and actually took

1652
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 1: a peek at when the Chiefs played the Patriots last

1653
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,719
Speaker 1: year Week fourteen, and I know Tom Brady was the quarterback,

1654
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: but there's a perfect example. Spags doubled Julian Edelman in

1655
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: selected situations that was clearly game planned. There were times

1656
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 1: he doubled James White, who is back this week. There

1657
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 1: were other times when he's single White, it was with

1658
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 1: a safety Matthew or Thornhill. So obviously he did not

1659
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:06,719
Speaker 1: feel he wanted to put a linebacker on James White.

1660
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 1: You know last week you saw what he did on

1661
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: Monday night, super aggressive, challenging the receivers with press Mann,

1662
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,720
Speaker 1: challenging Lamar, you know, saying, hey, you're gonna have to

1663
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: make precise ball placement throws. You know, normally a team

1664
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: does not do the same thing two weeks in a row.

1665
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 1: But as I said, I went back to last year's

1666
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: Chief Patriots game in Spags was very, very aggressive. So

1667
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: we'll see that. Seems you know they had ten snaps

1668
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: Steve of cover zero this past week. That's unheard of.

1669
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:37,679
Speaker 1: It's a lot. That's a lot. That's a lot. Yeah,

1670
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: all right, Greg, Well listen, we appreciate all the insight

1671

01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: on the Matchup Show. Thanks for your insight. Yeah, I

1674
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: might take a peek at a football game this weekend

1675
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, thanks, with you next week me too,

1681
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: you here on one Bill's Line, presented by Collida Health.

1682
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker motoring

1683
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 1: home in our number two of the program, taking your

1684
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,479
Speaker 1: questions on the OBIL fan mailbag and also on the

1685
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: phone lines. And we go back to the phone lines

1686
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: now at eight fifty and Patrick is in LA and

1687
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: has been waiting patiently. Patrick, welcome to the show. What

1688
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: do you have for us, sir? The going guys? It's

1689
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 1: going good man, Thanks for joining us. I love how

1690
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:53,879
Speaker 1: you change the name to the Pro Pro Football Crisis Hotline,

1691
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: because that's right. Even though the Bills are three and oh,

1692
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: it's very comforting to have that name because it's there

1693
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 1: whenever you need it. I assure you Patrick, it is

1694
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: there whenever you need it. Well, i'd love to get

1695
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: both of your opinions on the Bills undersized defensive line.

1696
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,600
Speaker 1: I feel like the star opting out it's really affected

1697
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 1: downs one and two more than we'd like to see.

1698
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: It seems like the Bills lines get blown off the

1699
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: ball here and there. And after rewatching the Rams game,

1700
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 1: I felt like the Rams in the second half were

1701
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 1: really attacking Harrison Phillips, and I just was wondering, is

1702
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 1: there anything we could do to add another big body

1703
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 1: to suck up some linemen on downs one and two,

1704
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 1: someone like a snacks Harrison, And I just wondered how

1705
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 1: you gentlemen felt about that. Yeah, I mean it's a

1706
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: valid concern, so I get it. I think Vernon Butler

1707
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:51,720
Speaker 1: was a guy that they saw as somebody that at

1708
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,679
Speaker 1: least had the girth to stand in there and grind.

1709
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 1: The problem is Butler, when he was in Carolina, played

1710
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more three technique than he did one technique,

1711
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:08,560
Speaker 1: so he's not completely He's not as experienced playing in

1712
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 1: the one as much as people might think, despite the

1713
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 1: fact that he's three hundred and thirty pounds. And I

1714
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 1: think he's the guy that they're going to have to

1715
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 1: turn to a little bit more here going forward. And

1716
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Coach Frasier did mention that, and I mentioned this earlier

1717
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 1: in the show. Harrison Phillips is still not the Harrison

1718
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 1: Phillips of old because he not only had a RACL

1719
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,320
Speaker 1: knee surgery, but he also had knee surgery on his

1720
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 1: other knee to a lesser extent, but still in all

1721
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:39,280
Speaker 1: another surgery, so his strength and endurance. As hard as

1722
01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 1: he has worked, I still don't think is up to

1723
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 1: start to finish in a regular season game. I think

1724
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: he'll get there in time, but I think that's what

1725
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 1: he's dealing with right now. He's not at his level

1726
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,879
Speaker 1: best just yet, and I don't know that this defensive

1727
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: line as a whole is at their level best. But

1728
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 1: as far as getting an anchor type guy like Star Latoula,

1729
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:02,640
Speaker 1: who as we know, opted out, I think they're going

1730
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,599
Speaker 1: to give it a few more weeks to gain some traction.

1731
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: If it is still looking like an issue and a

1732
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 1: concern going forward where they simply cannot stop the run

1733
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: with any level of consistency, then yes, you may see

1734
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:19,439
Speaker 1: them take that course of action. What do you think, Yeah,

1735
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they're worried about the size of getting

1736
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm not winning the line as Crimmage upfront as that

1737
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:26,840
Speaker 1: much as they are about their run fits. I don't

1738
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 1: think they've got guys in the right and the right spots.

1739
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:31,759
Speaker 1: I think you got guys trying to jump around blocks

1740
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 1: a little bit instead of standing strong. I think there's

1741
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 1: a little bit of that going on. I think there's

1742
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 1: sometimes when we saw this, Greg Cosell alluded to this

1743
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 1: during the interview we just had Patrick that you got

1744
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:46,639
Speaker 1: like guys like Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano and Aj

1745
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 1: Klein and Tyler Meta Kevitch on the few snaps that

1746
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 1: he's been in, they're overrunning the place, they're they're not

1747
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:56,880
Speaker 1: taking good angles. A little bit of that's going on

1748
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,799
Speaker 1: as well. Plus, I don't think the Bills have tackled

1749
01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 1: particularly well. So even when Leslie Frasier does call a

1750
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:04,680
Speaker 1: defense that seems to work and you get a guy

1751
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: in the backfield, they're not getting a guy on the ground.

1752
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot of stuff going on.

1753
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a talent issue or even maybe

1754
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 1: even a size something as simple as a size issue.

1755
01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: I think it has more to do with the execution

1756
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 1: and the way the coaches want these guys to play it,

1757
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: and I think that I think that guys up front

1758
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 1: need to play a little bit more unselfish in the

1759
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 1: run game. Um, I'm sorry to interrupt, but go ahead.

1760
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:32,719
Speaker 1: I noticed Jordan Jordan Employers leading the team in tackles,

1761
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 1: and that felt like that there's seems to be a

1762
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 1: little bit of breakdown in terms of, you know, we

1763
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,599
Speaker 1: should have a Milano or an Edmonds or somebody from

1764
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 1: the linebacker. Yeah. Yeah, we do have to remember they've

1765
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 1: only played three games, and Milano and Edmonds missed one completely,

1766
01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 1: so that's probably factoring into some degree. But you're right, Patrick,

1767
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 1: the four leading tacklers on this team, they're all defensive backs, right,

1768
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:57,680
Speaker 1: and that's a problem. I think that says something, and

1769
01:31:57,720 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: it does say something about the fact that you know,

1770
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,720
Speaker 1: Milana was out for the entire second half of the

1771
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 1: Dolphin game, or was the out for the entire Dolphin game,

1772
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 1: in the second half of the of the Jet game,

1773
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 1: so he's missed an entire game and a half of

1774
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: the three games. So that would help with the tackles totals,

1775
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 1: and the same thing with Edmonds. So but you're right,

1776
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 1: that is a problem. If you've got your safeties and

1777
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 1: your corners making the most tackles on the team, your

1778
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 1: run defense is not what it should be. But like

1779
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know that it's a problem with

1780
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 1: the size or the talent. I think it's execution more

1781
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 1: so than anything. This is what coach McDermott said this

1782
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 1: morning in his Friday press conference when he was asked

1783
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: specifically about the defensive performance. Actually he did this in

1784
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:47,720
Speaker 1: the morning interview on the Morning show on WGR when

1785
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,719
Speaker 1: asked about the defensive performance is a direct quote quote.

1786
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,760
Speaker 1: We have to get better on defense, starting with our

1787
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:57,720
Speaker 1: defensive line. I'm confident with our week of preparation that

1788
01:32:57,880 --> 01:32:59,560
Speaker 1: the guys are in the right frame of mind to

1789
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,679
Speaker 1: do what you have to do collectively to get better.

1790
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: And he mentioned through the course of the week, and

1791
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 1: so did coach Frasier, that gap integrity was an issue

1792
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 1: last week. And I think that playing off of one

1793
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 1: another is still somewhat new to these guys on the

1794
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 1: defensive line because of all the player turnover that we've

1795
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 1: talked about. So these are all factors that are contributing

1796
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 1: to the problem that currently exists. Now it's on them

1797
01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: to make the corrections and then be able to execute

1798
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 1: it in the snap of a finger, in the speed

1799
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:31,760
Speaker 1: of a regular season game. Last week, we heard we

1800
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:34,680
Speaker 1: had a big conversation all over you know, Bill's fan

1801
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:39,559
Speaker 1: base was talking about Levi Wallace and Leslie Frasier put

1802
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:41,840
Speaker 1: it best. He said, listen, if Levi Wallace doesn't want

1803
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 1: the ball thrown at him all the time. He's got

1804
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:46,719
Speaker 1: to make some plays. It's the same with the Bill's

1805
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: running defense. If they if they want to stop teams

1806
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: from trying to run the football as much as they do,

1807
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:53,720
Speaker 1: you gotta get some stops. You got to stop them

1808
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:55,639
Speaker 1: in the run game. You gotta tackle them for some losses.

1809
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 1: You got to make those guys bounce around in there

1810
01:33:57,560 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 1: and not have any running lanes to go through. So

1811
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: if the Bills can get in the run fits where

1812
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be, teams will stop having the success

1813
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: against them that they have and you won't have to

1814
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 1: worry about this going into every single game. Have they

1815
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: got it fixed or not? I'm with you, though, Brownie

1816
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:16,960
Speaker 1: and Brownie and I have both said this over the

1817
01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. We think there's a lot of

1818
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 1: moving parts in the D line right now. They keep

1819
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 1: shifting the lineups around, they keep substituting and rotating as

1820
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 1: they do all the time, but they still don't I

1821
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 1: don't think they've settled on concrete combinations or a rotation

1822
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 1: cycle that they like on every single snap. They're still

1823
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: they're still working through that and I think until they

1824
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:45,400
Speaker 1: do that, you're not gonna maybe this defense will struggle

1825
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 1: for a while. All Right, we have to take a break,

1826
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 1: but when we come back our number three of the program,

1827
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,760
Speaker 1: we'll take more of your questions from the obl fan

1828
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 1: mail bag, and we hope to have one Lorenzo Alexander

1829
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,639
Speaker 1: for the lowdown. All of that coming your way next

1830
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live by Kalid to Health. This

1831
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hello Bills Radio Network Sports your

1832
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: sports update from One Bill's Drive. John Brown is anticipated

1833
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 1: to be available on Sunday. That according to head coach

1834
01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, though he wasn't going to definitively say if

1835
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: he was going to be playing on Sunday until he

1836
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:33,280
Speaker 1: saw him practice today, Brown did practice, So we're still

1837
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,560
Speaker 1: waiting on a final determination to be made when the

1838
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 1: Friday injury report comes out. Zack Moss at Oliver Dion

1839
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 1: Dawkins all practicing today. Dawkins was no longer in his

1840
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:46,240
Speaker 1: red non contact jersey, so certainly a good sign there.

1841
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 1: We now await, as I said, the team's injury report

1842
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 1: for official status on all these players, which will be

1843
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 1: out later this afternoon. With the Titans still away from

1844
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:59,080
Speaker 1: their facility following an outbreak of COVID nineteen two new

1845
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:03,599
Speaker 1: positive tests have surface, and both of those are Titans players,

1846
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:07,599
Speaker 1: adding to the five previous players and six personnel members

1847
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 1: who tested positive earlier in the week. The NFL has

1848
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:15,479
Speaker 1: now rescheduled Tennessee's game against the Steelers that was originally

1849
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 1: to be played this Sunday two Week seven. Pittsburgh's scheduled

1850
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:22,920
Speaker 1: game against the Ravens in Week seven has now been

1851
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Speaker 1: moved to Week gate. Jets quarterback Sam Darnold suffered a

1852
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,439
Speaker 1: sprainwright shoulder that forced him from the game briefly on

1853
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 1: Thursday night in their loss to the Denver Broncos thirty

1854
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,519
Speaker 1: seven twenty eight at Medlife Stadium. Darnold did return to

1855
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,360
Speaker 1: the game said he felt fine after the game. He

1856
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:42,679
Speaker 1: was twenty three or forty two passing for two hundred

1857
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:44,640
Speaker 1: and thirty yards, also rush for eighty four yards in

1858
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:47,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown. The Jets, meanwhile are O and four for

1859
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,559
Speaker 1: the second straight year. Game two of the NBA Finals

1860
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 1: Tonight Lakers took Game one Wednesday the heat. When they

1861
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 1: dropped game one of a title series, they still come

1862
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:01,600
Speaker 1: back to win all three of their NBA championships, so

1863
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 1: that makes tonight's game two very interesting. First tip is

1864
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: at nine PM and just two games in the Major

1865
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 1: League Baseball playoffs today. The Marlins can close out their

1866
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 1: best to three with the Cubs this afternoon at two,

1867
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: and it's a winner take all later tonight between the

1868
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 1: Cards and Padres. That series nodded at a game apiece.

1869
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 1: That is your sports update. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

1870

Speaker 1: you our number three of a crazy Friday show. As

1871

Speaker 1: we've covered an awful out of ground, we remind you

1872

01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 1: We also have the obl fanmail Bag any question you

01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 1: may have on the team in any capacity whatsoever. Steve

1878
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 1: and I are happy to lend our opinions and analysis

1879
01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 1: to you, but we do want to talk or hear from,

1880
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:57,280
Speaker 1: I should say, the Bill's defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, because

1881
01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 1: Steve and I here this last segment or so, I've

1882
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 1: been talking about about the defense and how things do

1883
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: need to be short up this week in comparison to

1884
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,720
Speaker 1: their performance each of the last two weeks. So coach

1885
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 1: Frasier earlier this week, in addressing the media, talked about

1886
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:14,720
Speaker 1: the defensive struggle, specifically in the second half against the

1887
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:18,519
Speaker 1: Rams and what has to be done going forward. I

1888
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:21,160
Speaker 1: was really pleased with the fact that we were able

1889
01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:24,320
Speaker 1: to holding the three points going to the half. We

1890
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 1: come out the second half and you know, force a

1891
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: fourth down stop, which is really big. Then those next

1892
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 1: fourth series, man, we just can find a way to

1893
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 1: get off the field. You know, we couldn't stop the

1894
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: run game all of a sudden making plays with the

1895
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 1: bootleg that we have been containing and when the range

1896
01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:47,559
Speaker 1: of poors, its just kept coming. And so some things

1897
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:50,680
Speaker 1: that we'll have to get better for sure, being able

1898
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 1: to be more gap sound and tackle better. We had

1899
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:56,400
Speaker 1: a lot of mistackles in those last four drives that

1900
01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:00,120
Speaker 1: really heard us so disappointing that we could start so

1901
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:02,960
Speaker 1: well and not finished away we started, so something we'll

1902
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 1: have to work home for sure. You think about that game,

1903
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 1: it was a tale of two defenses. It really they

1904
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,360
Speaker 1: helped the three points in the first half that the

1905
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: offense three point and then they got a four down

1906
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 1: stop to start the third quarter, and then and then

1907
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 1: the Bills end up going down to score touchdown. They're

1908
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: up twenty three. It's like I've seen it. Yeah, fold

1909
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: up the tents and let's get home ready for next week.

1910
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: Let's get to week four healthy. And then it's like

1911
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. You know, can't

1912
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 1: do that against team. You can't do that, You cannot

1913
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: do the dangerous game to play. And even after they

1914
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: pulled that game literally out of the fire in this league,

1915
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 1: this league is too good to play with fire. And

1916
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 1: that's what the Bills did last week. They played with fire,

1917
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 1: which fortunately came out of it. Okay, unintentional, but yeah,

1918
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,839
Speaker 1: it worked out pretty nice, didn't it. Um coach Frasier

1919
01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that gap integrity was an issue, so here he

1920
01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:01,360
Speaker 1: is discussing how they have to be more gap sound

1921
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:06,360
Speaker 1: against the run. The Miami game was a little bit different, uh,

1922
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 1: and the fact their last score, you know, we're up

1923
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 1: two scores and we're playing things a lot different when

1924
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 1: they got their final score this game, you know, just

1925
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, the miss tackles and not being in our gaps.

1926
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 1: That that's something you gotta you gotta get fixed in

1927
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:28,280
Speaker 1: a hurry. Yeah, not being in your gaps and miss tackles.

1928
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 1: You can't win doing that. That and that's that's the

1929
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 1: fundamentals that they're talking about. That's exactly right, fundamental tackling,

1930
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 1: fundamental assignments. We just took a call from Patrick out

1931
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,280
Speaker 1: in La saying, listen, maybe we're getting overpowered. To him,

1932
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:44,479
Speaker 1: it's not that they're just stepping to the wrong guys. Yeah,

1933
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 1: they're they're they're missing tackles and they're not getting in

1934
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:50,639
Speaker 1: the right run fits. And whenever you see a running back,

1935
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, slipped through the line of scrimmage like they

1936
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:56,599
Speaker 1: were doing in the rams and I and I mentioned

1937
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:58,559
Speaker 1: it on the radio broadcast that it looked like two

1938
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 1: ships passing in the night. They were some penetration, the

1939
01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:04,240
Speaker 1: bills were, but there was nobody in the adjacent gap

1940
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 1: to the penetration, and the guy had nobody there to

1941
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 1: tackle him, or if they did, they were missing the tackle.

1942
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 1: That stuff is fixable pretty quickly. I mean, you can

1943
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 1: go from one week being bad and the next week

1944
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 1: being really good with that kind of problem. Now, if

1945
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:22,599
Speaker 1: you're getting pushed off the line of scrimmage, that's an

1946
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:25,680
Speaker 1: issue that you can't fix overnight. Right, the Rams are

1947
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 1: a very good offensive front. I mean they have a

1948
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:31,560
Speaker 1: good offensive line. I don't think there's any mistaking that.

1949
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 1: But I don't think they just flat out dominated Buffalo's

1950
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: defensive line at all. I think it was more on

1951
01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: the Bills defenders than it was the actions of the

1952
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:46,599
Speaker 1: Rams offensive line. This is a comment from coach Frasier

1953
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:50,479
Speaker 1: that will largely go toward answering what Patrick was talking about.

1954
01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:53,759
Speaker 1: Our last call a out in LA who believes without

1955
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:56,439
Speaker 1: Star Latoula, who as we all know, is opted out

1956
01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty season, do they have a viable

1957
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 1: replacement for his role in this defense. Coach Fraser was

1958
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 1: asked that very question this week. You're right, we got

1959
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 1: some big ones coming in the Raiders. They are they

1960
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:12,720
Speaker 1: have a very very good offensive line, one of the

1961
01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:15,639
Speaker 1: biggest ones, maybe the biggest in the National Football League.

1962
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:19,040
Speaker 1: So you like to be stout in the middle of

1963
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: your defense for sure. And that means us that Harrison

1964
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:24,559
Speaker 1: Phillips is really gonna have to step up and make

1965
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 1: the difference for us. Vernham Butler is going to have

1966
01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:29,640
Speaker 1: to do a really good job for us. So I

1967
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 1: mean we have a rotation going, and the guys that

1968
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: we have there will have to do a good job.

1969
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: Quinn Jefferson another guy who will have and they're rotating,

1970
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:40,719
Speaker 1: but we're counting the guys that we have to stand

1971
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: up and give us what we need in the middle

1972
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:46,200
Speaker 1: of our defense to be more effective against these insight

1973
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 1: running teams that we're gonna face. Yeah, and the Raiders

1974
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:50,519
Speaker 1: are going to run it this week. I don't think

1975
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:53,320
Speaker 1: there's any question about that, not only because that's what

1976
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:55,600
Speaker 1: they like to do, but it might be what they

1977
01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 1: have to do if both Henry Ruggs and Brian Edward,

1978
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:02,840
Speaker 1: their rookie receivers who who line up one two in

1979
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:06,160
Speaker 1: this offense, are out. They already said Edwards is out

1980
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 1: for this game. Rugs is looking doubtful at this point. Yeah.

1981
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:13,600
Speaker 1: It's hard enough to to play these teams when you

1982
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:15,560
Speaker 1: know when they got all guns blazing, But then you

1983
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:17,599
Speaker 1: try and get into their minds about, Okay, how good

1984
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:20,840
Speaker 1: can they be without Rugs and how good can they

1985
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:24,080
Speaker 1: be with their offense with Richie Incognito not in the lineup,

1986
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:29,120
Speaker 1: And you try and Brownie right extrapolate what that coaching

1987
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 1: staff might must be going through and you think, well,

1988
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:34,760
Speaker 1: what would we do if if that was the case.

1989
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 1: What how do we see our team? Um that And

1990
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,559
Speaker 1: it's all analytics, you know, self scouting and what they

1991
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 1: know about you and what you know about yourself and

1992
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,600
Speaker 1: what you know about them. And you try and just

1993
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 1: extrapolate what you think their game plan was gonna be,

1994
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 1: and worried where you're worried about them hitting you, And

1995
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 1: you can bet that's where it's gonna be. And uh,

1996
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 1: it seems obvious to even you know, two random guys

1997
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:00,680
Speaker 1: like you and me. The Raiders gonna try and run

1998
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:02,960
Speaker 1: the ball on these guys. Yeah, they're gonna try and

1999
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: pound it down to keep Josh Allen off the field.

2000
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,640
Speaker 1: And we were laughing at how long has it been

2001
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:09,720
Speaker 1: since this offense needed to be kept off the field

2002
01:44:09,760 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. But that's where they're sitting. That's

2003
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 1: probably what we're looking at. The Raiders are going to

2004
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:17,080
Speaker 1: try and shorten the game, keep the Buffalo offense to

2005
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, fifty plays if they can, and take their

2006
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:23,680
Speaker 1: chances that way and not get into a thirty five

2007
01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:26,360
Speaker 1: thirty four game. You know, they want this to be

2008
01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:31,000
Speaker 1: a seventeen fourteen game or thirteen ten game that I

2009
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:35,320
Speaker 1: think that's got to be what they're thinking. Yeah, I mean,

2010
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 1: and like I was telling you earlier, you know, you

2011
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: look at their personnel grouping usage and they are, you know,

2012
01:44:42,439 --> 01:44:46,599
Speaker 1: an eleven personnel team about half the time on their

2013
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 1: offensive plays so far this season. But their next most

2014
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:53,920
Speaker 1: popular personnel grouping is twelve personnel with two tight ends. Right,

2015
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 1: we might see a whole lot more of that, a

2016
01:44:56,160 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 1: whole lot more at twelve and twenty one or even

2017
01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 1: twenty two that they've run this season. Gruden may line up,

2018
01:45:02,680 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 1: say this is mash eight nine eight offensive lineman or

2019
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: six six or seven offensive lineman, one tight end, two backs.

2020
01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 1: Let's go yeah, and then work pay off of that

2021
01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:14,439
Speaker 1: because Derek Carr and Josh Allen are two of the

2022
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 1: best play action quarterbacks in the league through the first

2023
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:18,519
Speaker 1: three weeks. Wonder if a defensive court I wonder if

2024
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 1: a guy like Leslie Frasier, Sean McDermott, you can anticipate

2025
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 1: that do you have a short yardage package that you

2026
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 1: go to where you put in seven defensive linemen, four linebackers,

2027
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:34,559
Speaker 1: no safeties, you know, just the only one wide receiver

2028
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:36,559
Speaker 1: on the field. You can get away with that. Put

2029
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 1: Trey on him. Yeah, and a safety in the box

2030
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:41,960
Speaker 1: who can come out and double team him or stay

2031
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 1: over the top if you want. And then everybody else

2032
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:47,560
Speaker 1: let's go man on man mash up. Yeah, let's just

2033
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 1: be a running clock here. Could do that. One last

2034
01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 1: comment from coach Frasier, um, we've seen relatively good news

2035
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:58,639
Speaker 1: on the linebacker front. Matt Milano came through last week's

2036
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 1: game clean as far as we can understand, and I

2037
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: thought he played very well. Tremaine Edmonds was gutting it

2038
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 1: out a little bit. I don't think he was quite

2039
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:09,560
Speaker 1: one hundred percent in that game, which I think compromise

2040
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:12,000
Speaker 1: the effectiveness of his play down in and down out.

2041
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 1: He was hanging a little bit, just trying to get

2042
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 1: his gut his way through the game, which is admirable.

2043
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 1: The good news is this week Tremaine Edmonds shed the

2044
01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:24,280
Speaker 1: red non contact jersey and practice this week, so hopefully

2045
01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: that's an indication that he's feeling better going into this

2046
01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:30,919
Speaker 1: week's game as opposed to last week's game. Coach Frasier

2047
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:34,599
Speaker 1: on the importance of having Milano and Edmonds in the lineup.

2048
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe that you know we can win

2049
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,840
Speaker 1: without those guys. It's I know other guys would have

2050
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 1: stepped up and done a good job for us. But

2051
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:48,559
Speaker 1: we're all very happy that both Matt and Tremaine were

2052
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 1: able to come back. We needed him. You know, it

2053
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: was definitely tough in that second half, but if you

2054
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: could flip it him and just imagine if if the

2055
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:58,679
Speaker 1: Rams that getten off to that fast of a start,

2056
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 1: it have been a lot tougher to win that game.

2057
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:04,840
Speaker 1: So very very pleased and very happy that those guys

2058
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:06,720
Speaker 1: were able to make it back for that ball game.

2059
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:12,519
Speaker 1: So going forward, I would expect better out of Tremaine

2060
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:16,760
Speaker 1: Edmonds because the presumption is he's feeling better and you know,

2061
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 1: feel good, play good. So I'm expecting a more dominant,

2062
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:29,559
Speaker 1: eye catching performance by Tremaine Edmonds this week because last

2063
01:47:29,600 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 1: week it looked like he was really it looked like

2064
01:47:31,800 --> 01:47:33,519
Speaker 1: he just didn't feel right, do you know what I mean?

2065
01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 1: Like his body didn't feel right, and I think it

2066
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: impacted the effectiveness of his play at times. Yeah, I

2067
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:42,679
Speaker 1: don't there's no question this They got by the Miami

2068
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,439
Speaker 1: Dolphins without Milano and Edmonds. I don't know that there's

2069
01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 1: too many other offenses that would they would would not

2070
01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:50,800
Speaker 1: have been able to make Hanne. In fact, the Miami

2071
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense played really well against this defense. Their defense

2072
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:59,240
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the Bill's offense, and that Bills just outscored him.

2073
01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:01,719
Speaker 1: But you know, they they handed over twenty eight points

2074
01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:03,719
Speaker 1: to that team or twenty seven points to the Dolphin

2075
01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 1: camera which one it was, but and they had a

2076
01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:08,600
Speaker 1: late touchdown, no question, as a little bit of that

2077
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 1: going on as well. But it was one of those

2078
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 1: games where it looked like the Bill's defense was off

2079
01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 1: its game and you can't it's hard to even point

2080
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:20,479
Speaker 1: to a specific play or this or that, but you're

2081
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 1: just you were missing something. It looked like it was

2082
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:26,560
Speaker 1: a little bit sick. You know, it wasn't itself for

2083
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 1: those people who watch it closely. And the simple fact

2084
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:30,679
Speaker 1: of the matter was, I think they missed their leadership

2085
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:32,439
Speaker 1: in the in the middle, and they missed an athlete

2086
01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: that could run with those tight ends Gisecki and take

2087
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:38,680
Speaker 1: one or two of the plays he got away, not

2088
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:41,000
Speaker 1: all of them, but certainly one or two of them

2089
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:43,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't have gone the way of the Dolphins. And you

2090
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 1: know that ends with this drive on you know, it

2091
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 1: ends a drive when they would have kept going and

2092
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,160
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown on that drive or a field goal

2093
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 1: on that drive. He you know those third down stops

2094
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:54,760
Speaker 1: when they're trying to fit it into Gisecki Milano makes

2095
01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:58,400
Speaker 1: one or two of those go away. Those plays are big.

2096
01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:03,200
Speaker 1: We want to also hear from the team's leading tackler

2097
01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:06,799
Speaker 1: right now through three games. That is Bill safety Jordan Poyer,

2098
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:11,040
Speaker 1: and he is encouraged by what he believes the Bills

2099
01:49:11,120 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 1: can throw at Derek Carr in this Raiders offense this

2100
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 1: week to kind of keep them on their heels and

2101
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: not know what's coming. I think, you know, the three

2102
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: years that we've been here, you know, they're gonna get

2103
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:29,439
Speaker 1: attacked differently, especially the way that our offense is playing,

2104
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 1: understanding that they're gonna be at points that offenses are

2105
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 1: going to be attacking us the whole a whole lot

2106
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:37,080
Speaker 1: different um. They're gonna come into a game plan and

2107
01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:38,920
Speaker 1: understanding that they got to put up a lot of points,

2108
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,880
Speaker 1: and they're gonna, you know, come in you know, in

2109
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 1: previous years when our offense hasn't put up points, you know,

2110
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 1: it's almost coming in and having to control of games

2111
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 1: and manage the game, um, and keep it close towards

2112
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: the end of the game. And now our offense is

2113
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 1: putting up points and so now coordinators and coaches are

2114
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:56,680
Speaker 1: coming in m trying to attack us. And so now

2115
01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:58,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, with the with us, you know,

2116
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 1: being an attack, we're going the defense. You know, we're

2117
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:04,600
Speaker 1: attacking right back. So um, yeah, like I say, it

2118
01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:06,600
Speaker 1: says it's been a cat and mouse, gonna be a

2119
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:08,840
Speaker 1: cat and mouse game with the coordinators, and I think

2120
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:13,920
Speaker 1: our coming up to be a game fight. So that's

2121
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,439
Speaker 1: Jordan Porter kind of laying it out. And you could

2122
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 1: tell in his comment that the confidence of this defensive

2123
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:21,920
Speaker 1: unit is not shaken in the least. Um. This is

2124
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:24,840
Speaker 1: a unit that knows they're good, knows what they're capable of.

2125
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:27,880
Speaker 1: They just got to get it lined up right, um

2126
01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:32,519
Speaker 1: and handle their fundamentals, improve their tackling, and like you

2127
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 1: were saying earlier, they should be fine. We have to

2128
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, we will

2129
01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 1: finally connect with one Lorenzo Alexander for the lowdown that

2130
01:50:41,640 --> 01:50:43,839
Speaker 1: is coming up next here on One Bill's Live, presented

2131
01:50:43,840 --> 01:51:10,679
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Time

2132
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: for the Lowdown Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here on one

2133
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 1: Bill's Live and joined by our weekly visit one Lorenzo Alexander.

2134
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 1: I was driving around town, never a frown, always got

2135
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:29,760
Speaker 1: his windows rolled down, so as Lorenzo, good to have

2136
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:31,880
Speaker 1: you man, Glad you pulled over to the side of

2137
01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:36,120
Speaker 1: the road. Safety first. How are you doing. I'm doing

2138
01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:38,559
Speaker 1: pretty good. Just having a little treatment today, so that's

2139
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:41,320
Speaker 1: why I'm late. But you know, getting older, working out

2140
01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:44,320
Speaker 1: and back a little sore, so I'm I definitely. One

2141
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:45,960
Speaker 1: of the things I do miss from not playing as

2142
01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 1: being in the facility every day with people like Joe,

2143
01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:51,719
Speaker 1: Mika and Tabanni. In the last year, Mackenzie and Devin.

2144
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:54,000
Speaker 1: They always did a great job of taking care of me.

2145
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:57,040
Speaker 1: So I'm suffering a little bit from not being around

2146
01:51:57,080 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 1: those guys on a daily basis. All right, we had

2147
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:01,120
Speaker 1: a quick debate. Now you said you wouldn't got treatment.

2148
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:04,439
Speaker 1: You just went to the chiropractor. Right, You can't call

2149
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:07,559
Speaker 1: it treatment if you're not a professional athlete physical they

2150
01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 1: come on, now, come on, I mean professional athlete, you're

2151
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:15,519
Speaker 1: always a professional. You should see me in the mirror

2152
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:22,080
Speaker 1: these days. There's no way are you away. I am

2153
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 1: how long ago did you even play? We didn't play

2154
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 1: together years. Was in the last century? You're right, you're right, yeah,

2155
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:33,160
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I think I had hair when he was

2156
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:38,120
Speaker 1: playing a different century. So yeah, before we get started, Zoe,

2157
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 1: we do want to mention the Bill's injury report is out.

2158
01:52:41,720 --> 01:52:45,560
Speaker 1: Mario Addison is questionable. He did not practice today. A

2159
01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 1: late add to the injury report with a knee injury.

2160
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,639
Speaker 1: Zach Moss questionable. He's been limited all week in practice

2161
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:54,799
Speaker 1: with what is what is it described as a toe injury,

2162
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 1: and then del Shan Phillips is out for Sunday. But

2163
01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:01,800
Speaker 1: it looks like, uh, Dawkins good to go, John Brown

2164
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 1: good to go. Dawson Knox. We're gonna assume is out

2165
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:09,160
Speaker 1: of the concussion protocols since he is not listed here

2166
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:12,120
Speaker 1: with any designation, so he looks to be good to

2167
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 1: go as well. So, guys, healed up well this week,

2168
01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 1: and we just have a couple of people on the

2169
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 1: injury report, which is certainly a lot more than we

2170
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:25,760
Speaker 1: can say for your former hometown Raiders, Zough. They have

2171
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:28,599
Speaker 1: a laundry list of injuries, including their top two rookie

2172
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:31,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers, a couple of offensive linemen out, including a

2173
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 1: former teammate of yours and Richie Incognito, who remains on IR.

2174
01:53:36,600 --> 01:53:42,280
Speaker 1: The general consensus here Zoe is that with these receivers

2175
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 1: presumably down for the Raiders, they already run the ball

2176
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:47,600
Speaker 1: a lot to begin with, they might be doing it

2177
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 1: even more this week without those two receivers in their lineup. Yeah,

2178
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 1: and I would agree with that. And I think regardless

2179
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:57,560
Speaker 1: of not those guys were healthy based on just what

2180
01:53:57,680 --> 01:53:59,720
Speaker 1: has happened to the defense, especially in the run game

2181
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:01,599
Speaker 1: that we saw last week versus the Rams, and how

2182
01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:03,880
Speaker 1: they were able to get back in the game based

2183
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:05,640
Speaker 1: on that run game that they're that the Raiders are

2184
01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:09,439
Speaker 1: going to attack them was Josh Jacobs anyway, and so

2185
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 1: that was gonna be uh just key as far as

2186
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:17,040
Speaker 1: this team continuing U Key and the Raiders trying to

2187
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:20,080
Speaker 1: beat this team regardless, Um, they still have I believe

2188
01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:23,800
Speaker 1: Renfro is still playing. I believe I know wall Waller

2189
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:27,160
Speaker 1: would be up. Yeah. It was a solid tight end, um,

2190
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:29,280
Speaker 1: and so they still have to worry about guys. You

2191
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 1: never want to say, Okay, we got it easy. We

2192
01:54:30,960 --> 01:54:33,280
Speaker 1: just gotta worry about the run game. But from the

2193
01:54:33,360 --> 01:54:37,040
Speaker 1: Bill's perspective, UM, stopping the run and Josh Jacobs and

2194
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 1: stuff in that run early and often and really putting

2195
01:54:39,200 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 1: the game on Derek carr shoulders is going to be

2196
01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 1: essential not only to win this game, but really to

2197
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:48,320
Speaker 1: re establish themselves as a top defense UM in the

2198
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:51,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. We've talked hurt Leslie Fraser and Jordan

2199
01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:54,800
Speaker 1: Poyer and these guys. They've talked about how it's been

2200
01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 1: more of and what it sounds like mental problems in

2201
01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:00,520
Speaker 1: the defense where guys aren't just fit and in their

2202
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 1: writing and taking the wrong gap or overrunning place, and

2203
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:08,960
Speaker 1: of course then the mistackles. How fast do you think

2204
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:11,840
Speaker 1: they can gather that altogether? I've I've seen it happen

2205
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:14,240
Speaker 1: one week. They can be a really good run defense

2206
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:17,160
Speaker 1: where they weren't the week before. But how likely is

2207
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:21,400
Speaker 1: that in the current climate. UM, I think they had

2208
01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:23,800
Speaker 1: the ability to do it because they have veteran guys

2209
01:55:23,920 --> 01:55:27,480
Speaker 1: playing those positions. You know when Germaine and Matt miss

2210
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:29,200
Speaker 1: a week, you know they missed some of that the

2211
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:31,560
Speaker 1: first game too, and you really don't create some of

2212
01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:35,840
Speaker 1: that communication, the consistency and continuity that you're accustomed to,

2213
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 1: some of the little fundamental things they get overlooked can

2214
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: turn into big issues, as we saw last week versus

2215
01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 1: the Rams, and as you mentioned, guys not being patient

2216
01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:50,680
Speaker 1: with their feet, not being good with their eyes because

2217
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:53,400
Speaker 1: they haven't been out there on a consistent basis shows

2218
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:55,000
Speaker 1: up in a big way. You know, guys not being

2219
01:55:55,040 --> 01:55:57,120
Speaker 1: in the same gap, being out of the gap, two

2220
01:55:57,200 --> 01:55:59,919
Speaker 1: guys in the same gap, not falling back, not communicate

2221
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:02,840
Speaker 1: properly whether we're gonna bump this or guys are gonna

2222
01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 1: run with it. You just saw a little. Those things

2223
01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:08,320
Speaker 1: show up time and time again, and that's what really

2224
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:10,880
Speaker 1: allowed him. It wasn't really nothing the Rams did. It

2225
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: was more a lack of gods not being disciplined and

2226
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:15,480
Speaker 1: fitting where they needed to. And so when you look

2227
01:56:15,520 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 1: at that, you say, okay, well we can correct this.

2228
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:20,560
Speaker 1: This is about us being disciplined, us fitting where we're

2229
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:23,680
Speaker 1: supposed to, where we've done a million times, because we've

2230
01:56:23,720 --> 01:56:26,240
Speaker 1: seen this and this skin goes back to even twenty

2231
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:29,840
Speaker 1: seventeen that the Buffalo Bills even have struggled with and

2232
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:32,160
Speaker 1: we've seen it over and over and have done countless reps,

2233
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:34,480
Speaker 1: and it shorted up. So you just got to get

2234
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:36,920
Speaker 1: back to the basics, get back to the fundamentals, fit

2235
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:38,960
Speaker 1: where you need to be, and then tackle guys and

2236
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:41,400
Speaker 1: have population to the ball, especially when you're dealing with

2237
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:43,840
Speaker 1: an elite runner like Josh Jacobs. Let's flip it around

2238
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:46,480
Speaker 1: to the other team, because their run defense has gotten

2239
01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:49,680
Speaker 1: progressively worse with each passing week. The yards per carry

2240
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:52,800
Speaker 1: average against the Raiders has done nothing but go up,

2241
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:55,640
Speaker 1: which is great if you know it's an investment on

2242
01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 1: Wall Street, but certainly not for what they're looking to

2243
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:01,000
Speaker 1: do to stop people. So I realize that they've been

2244
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:05,080
Speaker 1: without their middle linebacker, Nick Kwaietkowski, and he's a question

2245
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:07,520
Speaker 1: mark for this week again. And even Corey Littleton, their

2246
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:09,600
Speaker 1: weak side backers a little nicked up too and as

2247
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:13,520
Speaker 1: a question mark as well. But I mean, whether it

2248
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:16,400
Speaker 1: was the Panthers, whether it was the Saints. I mean,

2249
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:19,280
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara had a day against them, and then last

2250
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: week the Patriots roll up two fifty on them, and

2251
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: I think rex Burke had had three touchdowns, two on

2252
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:27,960
Speaker 1: the ground, So I mean it was I mean, it

2253
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 1: doesn't look like it's getting better. It looks like it's

2254
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 1: getting worse. I mean, is this something that the Bills

2255
01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:33,960
Speaker 1: can take advantage of or is that something that they

2256
01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:37,440
Speaker 1: can correct this week. Yeah, and it's gonna be even

2257
01:57:37,480 --> 01:57:39,440
Speaker 1: I think worse this week because now you add on

2258
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 1: all the weapons that the Bills have on the outside,

2259
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, and that's going to even take away from

2260
01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:47,120
Speaker 1: maybe even maybe Okay, let's let's stack uh, let's put

2261
01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:48,880
Speaker 1: eight in the box and maybe a ninth one and

2262
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:51,200
Speaker 1: try to hide it. You can't do that versus this

2263
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 1: Bill's offense because they have too many weapons on the outside.

2264
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 1: And so I don't think it's going to be any

2265
01:57:56,720 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 1: better for the Raiders run defense this week. Devin single

2266
01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:02,600
Speaker 1: Terry should have another big time day, be very impactful

2267
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:06,000
Speaker 1: on the ground because they have to honor what the

2268
01:58:06,040 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 1: Bills have done in the pass game. I mean, Josh

2269
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:11,680
Speaker 1: has put three over three hundred yards every week touchdowns,

2270
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,800
Speaker 1: offensive player of the Month, and so you have to

2271
01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:19,040
Speaker 1: honor those guys, you know, Um, whether it's Digs Cole,

2272
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:22,280
Speaker 1: Dawson Brown, I mean, you have to honor those guys.

2273
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:25,920
Speaker 1: So you sometimes you're gonna be stuck, um having only

2274
01:58:25,960 --> 01:58:28,080
Speaker 1: a six man box because you're trying to guard against

2275
01:58:28,080 --> 01:58:29,720
Speaker 1: these guys on the outside because you don't want to

2276
01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:31,880
Speaker 1: give up big plays, and that's what's gonna open up

2277
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 1: for Devin or even um Josh Allen on a run play.

2278
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 1: You know, if he's able to check plays at the

2279
01:58:38,120 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 1: line and call his number or Devon's number. And so

2280
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:44,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very hard with the injuries that the

2281
01:58:44,080 --> 01:58:46,440
Speaker 1: Raiders have based on what they've done over the last

2282
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:48,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, to be able to defend the run.

2283
01:58:48,120 --> 01:58:51,480
Speaker 1: We have to also worry about the big time explosive

2284
01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:54,400
Speaker 1: pass game the Bills has has exemplified over these last

2285
01:58:54,480 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 1: three weeks. How would you defend the Bills offense. It's

2286
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:05,640
Speaker 1: really it's really hard, and I really can't tell you

2287
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:08,040
Speaker 1: because they're dominant. You gotta have the personnel. I mean,

2288
01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:12,160
Speaker 1: you really gotta have somebody that can lock down Stefan

2289
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:15,320
Speaker 1: by himself or whoever you deem the top three is

2290
01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:17,080
Speaker 1: for that week. You gotta have somebody that can do

2291
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:21,200
Speaker 1: that because you want you attribute two guys to him.

2292
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 1: You leave in Cole Beasley on maybe your third best defender,

2293
01:59:24,480 --> 01:59:27,960
Speaker 1: or a linebacker John Brown one on one, Dawson Knox.

2294
01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just too hard, and so a lot

2295
01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:32,720
Speaker 1: of times it comes down to, Okay, we gotta we

2296
01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 1: gotta maybe pressure Josh and make him throw us the interception,

2297
01:59:35,840 --> 01:59:37,520
Speaker 1: or when he's running the ball, let's get the ball

2298
01:59:37,560 --> 01:59:40,480
Speaker 1: out because turnover is the only equalizing when you don't

2299
01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 1: match up personnel wise. And so if I was a coordinator,

2300
01:59:43,840 --> 01:59:46,600
Speaker 1: hopefully I got the personnel. But you know, obviously lockdown

2301
01:59:46,680 --> 01:59:48,880
Speaker 1: corners ain't grown on trees like that, and so I'm

2302
01:59:48,920 --> 01:59:52,440
Speaker 1: really emphasizing maybe pressure and Josh speeding him up, make

2303
01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:55,880
Speaker 1: him make an ill devised throw, and then you have

2304
01:59:55,960 --> 01:59:58,040
Speaker 1: to capitalize as a defense as far as picking him

2305
01:59:58,080 --> 02:00:00,360
Speaker 1: off and stripping the ball. And then number or two

2306
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:02,800
Speaker 1: running the ball. I'm going to run the ball all

2307
02:00:02,880 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 1: day as much as I can and keep joshing them

2308
02:00:05,400 --> 02:00:07,280
Speaker 1: off the off the field, and then maybe I can

2309
02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:09,360
Speaker 1: be able to score as well, because the Bills defense

2310
02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:12,840
Speaker 1: have it quite yet been able to stop that. And

2311
02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:14,640
Speaker 1: so maybe those are the two ways that you're thinking,

2312
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, just from a holistic stamp point as far

2313
02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:19,160
Speaker 1: as stopping at offense, keeping them off the field, and

2314
02:00:19,200 --> 02:00:21,760
Speaker 1: then when out there, let's pressure them some type of way,

2315
02:00:21,800 --> 02:00:23,720
Speaker 1: make Josh strow some quick thoughs and and maybe you'll

2316
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:26,360
Speaker 1: get an interception. Who knows, but it's definitely hard if

2317
02:00:26,360 --> 02:00:28,240
Speaker 1: you don't have the right person there. Yeah, and Damon

2318
02:00:28,360 --> 02:00:31,000
Speaker 1: Arnett is not expected to play for them, who's one

2319
02:00:31,040 --> 02:00:33,200
Speaker 1: of their starting corners. So they're already down a man

2320
02:00:33,320 --> 02:00:35,840
Speaker 1: to begin with. And now these Bills come out in

2321
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:39,800
Speaker 1: ten personnel and four wide and you're like, I gotta

2322
02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:41,920
Speaker 1: see who we're gonna put on the field here. It's

2323
02:00:41,960 --> 02:00:46,720
Speaker 1: not good. It's not good. All right, low down number one, Lorenzo,

2324
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 1: give it to me for the Bills. Well, I think

2325
02:00:51,560 --> 02:00:53,280
Speaker 1: it starts with the defense. I mean, most of them

2326
02:00:53,440 --> 02:00:55,120
Speaker 1: with the defense this week, and it's really stopping the

2327
02:00:55,200 --> 02:00:57,400
Speaker 1: run game. We have to be able to come out

2328
02:00:57,440 --> 02:01:01,520
Speaker 1: and stop the bleeding and getting back to winning on

2329
02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 1: first and second down and snuff it up to run.

2330
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Talking to the guys this week, I know that's really

2331
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:08,760
Speaker 1: on the front of their minds and one of the

2332
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:11,040
Speaker 1: goals that they really want to get back to UM

2333
02:01:11,080 --> 02:01:13,360
Speaker 1: and not allowing with Josh Jacobs to get going and

2334
02:01:13,480 --> 02:01:16,160
Speaker 1: putting the game in the DC's hands. Yeah, it's hard

2335
02:01:16,200 --> 02:01:18,160
Speaker 1: to get it's hard to churn out turnovers when the

2336
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:21,120
Speaker 1: other team doesn't feel really desperate on a third and

2337
02:01:21,240 --> 02:01:24,120
Speaker 1: long or you know, multiple third and long downs or

2338
02:01:25,040 --> 02:01:27,560
Speaker 1: that kind of things when they're when they can run

2339
02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 1: it or pass it, you just don't raise their level

2340
02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:31,960
Speaker 1: of stress to a point where they put the ball

2341
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:34,360
Speaker 1: at risk, right, I mean, and that's right. If they

2342
02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:37,960
Speaker 1: can run the football, they're never outside the outside the schedule,

2343
02:01:38,040 --> 02:01:40,880
Speaker 1: the down a distance, right, And then you're just adding

2344
02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:42,800
Speaker 1: all the play action and the boots off of it,

2345
02:01:42,880 --> 02:01:44,720
Speaker 1: and it just really makes it hard, as it defended,

2346
02:01:44,760 --> 02:01:47,040
Speaker 1: to really no key in on something and play fast.

2347
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:49,400
Speaker 1: You're always playing a little hesitating because things look the

2348
02:01:49,480 --> 02:01:54,120
Speaker 1: same and what's low down number two. Number two really

2349
02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:55,840
Speaker 1: has to go with number goals with number one. I

2350
02:01:55,920 --> 02:01:59,080
Speaker 1: think if you're playing good sound defense and you're not

2351
02:01:59,160 --> 02:02:02,080
Speaker 1: second guessing you're self and fitting things right, then you

2352
02:02:02,200 --> 02:02:05,720
Speaker 1: can pay attention to create more turnover opportunities, whether it's

2353
02:02:05,720 --> 02:02:09,160
Speaker 1: getting interceptions, forced fumbles. Having been in that locker room,

2354
02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:13,880
Speaker 1: especially at the defensive room, I understand they put a

2355
02:02:13,960 --> 02:02:15,960
Speaker 1: big emphasis on punching the ball, and when you watch

2356
02:02:16,040 --> 02:02:18,680
Speaker 1: the film, because guys a little out of seat, that

2357
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of goes out the window. And so just getting

2358
02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:23,040
Speaker 1: back to trying to get the ball out, stripping at

2359
02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:25,080
Speaker 1: and having the sharks attack the ball, having your force

2360
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:28,440
Speaker 1: players turning the ball back to guys and getting other opportunities.

2361
02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 1: You may not necessarily have to recover it, even though

2362
02:02:31,160 --> 02:02:33,080
Speaker 1: that would be nice. But if you can find a

2363
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:35,400
Speaker 1: way to get the ball out on Josh Jacobs, then

2364
02:02:35,480 --> 02:02:37,760
Speaker 1: he stops thinking about Okay, how can I run this

2365
02:02:37,880 --> 02:02:40,200
Speaker 1: guy over and making miss because a year ago he

2366
02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 1: led the league and forced miss tackles. And so if

2367
02:02:43,360 --> 02:02:46,480
Speaker 1: you can start getting to worry about ball security, obviously,

2368
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:47,840
Speaker 1: that's going to help you in the run game. And

2369
02:02:47,880 --> 02:02:49,440
Speaker 1: then also if you can get one out and give

2370
02:02:49,640 --> 02:02:53,800
Speaker 1: Josh a short field or just another opportunity to put

2371
02:02:53,880 --> 02:02:57,360
Speaker 1: more points up on the board, that's gonna pay huge dividends. Okay,

2372
02:02:57,440 --> 02:03:00,320
Speaker 1: so last one here for a Bill's victories, show what

2373
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:04,240
Speaker 1: do we have? Lowdown number three? Um, I just want

2374
02:03:04,280 --> 02:03:06,200
Speaker 1: to see Devin's single Tarry go off. I mean, really,

2375
02:03:06,240 --> 02:03:08,280
Speaker 1: the officers needs to continue to do what they do,

2376
02:03:08,800 --> 02:03:11,840
Speaker 1: not get complacent based on what they've done the first

2377
02:03:11,880 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 1: three weeks, but just really keep their their the pedal

2378
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:16,160
Speaker 1: to the metal, foot on the gas, whatever you want

2379
02:03:16,200 --> 02:03:19,840
Speaker 1: to say say to it, but really, uh, with Devin

2380
02:03:19,960 --> 02:03:22,120
Speaker 1: single Tarry this week, just running this running the ball,

2381
02:03:22,200 --> 02:03:25,760
Speaker 1: just showing how dominant we are upfront with him and

2382
02:03:25,840 --> 02:03:28,040
Speaker 1: his running ability like he showed last week, and just

2383
02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:30,840
Speaker 1: continue that because that's only going to help Uh this

2384
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:33,040
Speaker 1: this team become more of a two handed Matt Monster.

2385
02:03:33,120 --> 02:03:35,360
Speaker 1: We really have to worry about everybody and put defenses

2386
02:03:35,360 --> 02:03:38,640
Speaker 1: in a in a conundrum. Yeah. Uh, speaking of Devin

2387
02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:41,440
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs calls that move that we were just watching

2388
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:46,200
Speaker 1: on MSG, he calls that Devon's dead leg. Um, are

2389
02:03:46,200 --> 02:03:50,200
Speaker 1: you familiar with that? Nasty? Yeah, yeah, he's He's always

2390
02:03:50,200 --> 02:03:52,440
Speaker 1: been gracious enough not to put that on me, but

2391
02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:54,760
Speaker 1: that thing, that's more out of respect. But yeah, Devin is,

2392
02:03:55,320 --> 02:03:57,960
Speaker 1: he's nasty. He's he's uh, he's very elusive, and he

2393
02:03:58,080 --> 02:04:00,800
Speaker 1: runs much bigger than than what people think. He what

2394
02:04:00,960 --> 02:04:03,480
Speaker 1: people think because of his size. Yeah, if if a

2395
02:04:03,560 --> 02:04:05,640
Speaker 1: kick returner had done that to me, both my ankles

2396
02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:08,720
Speaker 1: would have snapped. I'm telling you right, And I said

2397
02:04:08,720 --> 02:04:10,840
Speaker 1: it too. You know. Devin Singletary, he turns into a

2398
02:04:10,920 --> 02:04:12,920
Speaker 1: third round draft pick. And one of the things I

2399
02:04:13,080 --> 02:04:15,200
Speaker 1: say about him, and said it on the broadcast last week,

2400
02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:18,840
Speaker 1: the reason he is so good is the ability to

2401
02:04:19,120 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 1: stop and change direction and explode out him. Um, it's

2402
02:04:23,640 --> 02:04:25,720
Speaker 1: not you know he's not gonna out run a lot

2403
02:04:25,760 --> 02:04:31,360
Speaker 1: of guys in the backfield. But man oh man, yeah right.

2404
02:04:31,440 --> 02:04:34,680
Speaker 1: But to your point, Steve, those guys always scared me

2405
02:04:34,800 --> 02:04:37,839
Speaker 1: the most playing against them, especially returners. It wasn't necessarily

2406
02:04:37,840 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 1: a guy that can run a four one or four two, right,

2407
02:04:40,560 --> 02:04:42,480
Speaker 1: It was those guys that can stop on the dime

2408
02:04:42,560 --> 02:04:44,960
Speaker 1: and then get back to one hundred miles an hour

2409
02:04:45,480 --> 02:04:48,280
Speaker 1: in two steps. Those guys that make you look ugly

2410
02:04:48,360 --> 02:04:51,760
Speaker 1: all the time and embarrass you and can't explode at anytime. Yeah,

2411
02:04:51,800 --> 02:04:54,240
Speaker 1: he put a couple of guys on roller scaves last week. Yeah,

2412
02:04:54,240 --> 02:04:55,800
Speaker 1: it was. It was something to see you last week.

2413
02:04:56,120 --> 02:04:59,480
Speaker 1: All right, So listen, we appreciate you chiming in. Uh,

2414
02:04:59,560 --> 02:05:01,520
Speaker 1: finish up your errands here. Will you get back to

2415
02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:05,000
Speaker 1: your destination wherever that may be, getting your back together,

2416
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 1: get that back loose and child's pose, man, child's pose.

2417
02:05:10,280 --> 02:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Get get the yoga going. I know you do the pilates,

2418
02:05:12,560 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 1: So get back down in child's pose and hopefully you're

2419
02:05:14,720 --> 02:05:16,960
Speaker 1: looser the rest of the week. Thanks for the time, guy,

2420
02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:21,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for rizzo guys. Yea, all right, Lorenzo Alexander with

2421
02:05:21,560 --> 02:05:24,880
Speaker 1: the lowdown and a lot of it, surrounds of all

2422
02:05:24,960 --> 02:05:28,080
Speaker 1: things run, defense and running the football. So you know,

2423
02:05:28,160 --> 02:05:32,320
Speaker 1: we're expecting this high flying affair, but they stopped a

2424
02:05:32,400 --> 02:05:35,600
Speaker 1: run and you know, Singletary keeps the offense on schedule

2425
02:05:36,680 --> 02:05:38,880
Speaker 1: or at least somewhat balanced. Yeah, he brought up a

2426
02:05:38,920 --> 02:05:41,760
Speaker 1: good point too. I think the Raiders mate in defending

2427
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:45,600
Speaker 1: the Bills may come. I think they may have to

2428
02:05:45,600 --> 02:05:48,400
Speaker 1: figure out a way to pressure out Josh, get him

2429
02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:51,200
Speaker 1: to throw the football before he's ready. They may take

2430
02:05:51,240 --> 02:05:54,000
Speaker 1: a chance on keeping him in the pocket instead of

2431
02:05:54,320 --> 02:05:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, rushing him, playing man behind it and letting

2432
02:05:56,720 --> 02:05:59,000
Speaker 1: him squeak through and nobody's looking at him he breaks

2433
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:02,440
Speaker 1: off big runs. They may force the Bills into an

2434
02:06:02,480 --> 02:06:06,440
Speaker 1: offensive that type. I could see them taking that track,

2435
02:06:06,680 --> 02:06:10,240
Speaker 1: particularly because it takes the pressure off of their defensive

2436
02:06:10,280 --> 02:06:12,560
Speaker 1: secondary in that they don't have to cover very long

2437
02:06:13,120 --> 02:06:17,520
Speaker 1: and sending one more man than the Bills protect, you know,

2438
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:20,560
Speaker 1: puts a puts Josh on a quick clock. Yeah, I mean,

2439
02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:22,600
Speaker 1: I know. Max Crosby is a guy that's had a

2440
02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:24,680
Speaker 1: nice career so far, has only been in the league

2441
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:27,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years. He's kind of underrated as a

2442
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:32,520
Speaker 1: pass rusher, and Farrell is obviously their top pick, you know,

2443
02:06:32,680 --> 02:06:35,080
Speaker 1: from just a couple of years ago. Even though he

2444
02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:37,560
Speaker 1: looks more like a defensive tackle the way they line

2445
02:06:37,600 --> 02:06:40,760
Speaker 1: them up, he plays at end even though he's a

2446
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:43,480
Speaker 1: bigger guys. He kind of comes from you know, he's

2447
02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:45,880
Speaker 1: from Clemson, but he comes from that shack loss in

2448
02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 1: power rusher school. You know, he's not a not an

2449
02:06:48,880 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 1: edge bender, but just great hands. You know, hands are

2450
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:56,520
Speaker 1: like sledge hammers. He really pounds guys, so you know,

2451
02:06:56,600 --> 02:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman really have to get their hands on

2452
02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:01,960
Speaker 1: him first rather than the other way around, because that's

2453
02:07:01,960 --> 02:07:04,640
Speaker 1: the way he usually wins in getting to the quarterback.

2454
02:07:04,760 --> 02:07:08,120
Speaker 1: So those are probably the some of the matchups that

2455
02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:11,720
Speaker 1: are going to be of most interest as far as

2456
02:07:12,080 --> 02:07:14,320
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. For the Bill's defense,

2457
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:17,680
Speaker 1: it looks like again this week John Simpson, the rookie,

2458
02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:20,320
Speaker 1: is going to fill in for a Richie Incognito at

2459
02:07:20,440 --> 02:07:24,120
Speaker 1: left guard, and it's it's looking less and less likely

2460
02:07:24,560 --> 02:07:27,160
Speaker 1: that Trent Brown they're starting right tackle, who was a

2461
02:07:27,200 --> 02:07:29,840
Speaker 1: behemoth of a man at about six seven and three

2462
02:07:29,920 --> 02:07:32,480
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five pounds, is not going to get

2463
02:07:32,520 --> 02:07:35,880
Speaker 1: back in time for this week's game. Whether it I'm

2464
02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:38,240
Speaker 1: presuming it's going to be Brandon Parker that fills in

2465
02:07:38,360 --> 02:07:42,880
Speaker 1: for him at the right tackle position. My rundown of

2466
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:46,640
Speaker 1: Trent Brown their right tackle. He's six eighth listed at

2467
02:07:46,680 --> 02:07:49,120
Speaker 1: three eighty. Yeah, he's three hundred and eighty. He's a

2468
02:07:49,200 --> 02:07:51,920
Speaker 1: giant human. He was with the Patriots and then they

2469
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:55,280
Speaker 1: signed him in free agency. He's he's he's a mammoth

2470
02:07:55,440 --> 02:07:57,640
Speaker 1: of a human. But it doesn't look like he's going

2471
02:07:57,720 --> 02:08:00,800
Speaker 1: to be in the lineup. So and we talked to

2472
02:08:01,120 --> 02:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Lincoln Kennedy earlier this week, the Raiders radio color analyst

2473
02:08:05,040 --> 02:08:07,600
Speaker 1: and an offensive lineman himself, who obviously pays attention to

2474
02:08:07,680 --> 02:08:10,840
Speaker 1: this when he watches the games. And even though Josh

2475
02:08:10,960 --> 02:08:14,360
Speaker 1: Jacobs is an accomplished runner despite being very young in

2476
02:08:14,440 --> 02:08:17,040
Speaker 1: his career, and the Raiders have demonstrated an ability to

2477
02:08:17,160 --> 02:08:20,240
Speaker 1: run the football, the effectiveness of that run game has

2478
02:08:20,360 --> 02:08:24,000
Speaker 1: unquestionably been hurt by the absence of Incognito, who is

2479
02:08:24,080 --> 02:08:27,320
Speaker 1: probably their best interior lineman. Although Gabe Jackson is a

2480
02:08:27,400 --> 02:08:29,520
Speaker 1: very good guard, don't want to take anything away from him,

2481
02:08:30,160 --> 02:08:33,600
Speaker 1: and Trent Brown is their biggest people mover on that

2482
02:08:33,720 --> 02:08:37,600
Speaker 1: offensive line. Him and Incognito are the main people movers

2483
02:08:38,080 --> 02:08:40,000
Speaker 1: up there on that group when it comes to running

2484
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:42,960
Speaker 1: the football, and they have been sorely missed, as Kennedy

2485
02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:46,280
Speaker 1: sees it. So they've got their offensive line, even with

2486
02:08:46,360 --> 02:08:49,320
Speaker 1: the guys the backups, it's obviously they've got a philosophy

2487
02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:51,320
Speaker 1: about what they all want their offensive line to look like.

2488
02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:54,200
Speaker 1: They've got Colton Miller playing left tack, former first round

2489
02:08:54,240 --> 02:08:57,760
Speaker 1: pick six eight three twenty five, John Simpson, who is

2490
02:08:57,800 --> 02:09:01,120
Speaker 1: a rookie out of Clemson six four three twenty one.

2491
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 1: Then you've got Rodney Hudson the center at three fifteen,

2492
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:08,320
Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson of as you said, he's these guys are

2493
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:11,720
Speaker 1: backups six three three thirty five. And then of course

2494
02:09:11,800 --> 02:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Denzel Good who's in for Trent Brown. Trent Brown six

2495
02:09:15,120 --> 02:09:18,800
Speaker 1: eight three eighty, Denzel Good the backup six five three forty.

2496
02:09:19,400 --> 02:09:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean they're heavy. It's one of the biggest offense.

2497
02:09:21,400 --> 02:09:23,800
Speaker 1: They're heavy in the league. Even on they're too deep.

2498
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:29,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just snapped the ball and let's go forward. Yeah,

2499
02:09:29,240 --> 02:09:31,640
Speaker 1: they're they just you know, and they have they do

2500
02:09:31,800 --> 02:09:33,600
Speaker 1: have some athletes up there, particularly when they got their

2501
02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:35,960
Speaker 1: number ones in there. Well, I think Gabe Jackson is

2502
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:38,720
Speaker 1: an underrated guard. Let's keep this in mind, okay, And

2503
02:09:39,080 --> 02:09:42,080
Speaker 1: as much as everybody likes John Feliciano here after what

2504
02:09:42,160 --> 02:09:45,480
Speaker 1: he did for this team last year, Gabe Jackson is

2505
02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:48,600
Speaker 1: the guy that kept John Feliciano off the field. Right.

2506
02:09:48,920 --> 02:09:51,200
Speaker 1: That's how good Gabe Jackson he made. He made John

2507
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:54,560
Speaker 1: Feliciano about expendable. I mean, they let him go and

2508
02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:56,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't get on the field, right, he couldn't be

2509
02:09:56,440 --> 02:09:59,360
Speaker 1: a starter in what was then Oakland. They've got some

2510
02:09:59,480 --> 02:10:02,480
Speaker 1: athletes and that's and that's why it's amazing to me.

2511
02:10:02,640 --> 02:10:04,400
Speaker 1: And most people don't get to watch this, and you

2512
02:10:04,440 --> 02:10:06,000
Speaker 1: can see it on TV, and it really doesn't do

2513
02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:07,800
Speaker 1: it justice when you're standing I did it for a

2514
02:10:07,840 --> 02:10:09,800
Speaker 1: long time, standing on that sideline. You're standing on the

2515
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:12,000
Speaker 1: down marker with all those you know, the sixty five

2516
02:10:12,080 --> 02:10:15,040
Speaker 1: year old guys that are moving the chain, moving the chains,

2517
02:10:15,520 --> 02:10:18,360
Speaker 1: and you're standing next to those guys and you see

2518
02:10:18,400 --> 02:10:22,560
Speaker 1: a guy that's six eight, three hundred and thirty plus

2519
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:27,000
Speaker 1: pounds in football gears, so he's even bigger in cleats

2520
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:30,320
Speaker 1: with a helmet on. And you see how they move

2521
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:32,360
Speaker 1: and how they they run and how they get out

2522
02:10:32,360 --> 02:10:34,080
Speaker 1: in front of running backs and you and you see

2523
02:10:34,160 --> 02:10:37,680
Speaker 1: guys come out and rush toward those big, huge guys

2524
02:10:37,720 --> 02:10:43,680
Speaker 1: to take them on. They play a game. I'm running

2525
02:10:43,720 --> 02:10:48,160
Speaker 1: into a cement. They play a game I'm not familiar with. Yeah,

2526
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:51,560
Speaker 1: it is. The only guys that come close to that

2527
02:10:51,640 --> 02:10:55,520
Speaker 1: size is Ted Washington and probably Jerry Kraft's right, that's probably.

2528
02:10:55,760 --> 02:10:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we had some guys Howard Ballard House was big,

2529
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:00,760
Speaker 1: and you know we yeah, you know, yeah, And we

2530
02:11:00,840 --> 02:11:03,600
Speaker 1: had the biggest offensive line in the league. And there

2531
02:11:03,640 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 1: were seven guys in the nineteen ninety first Super Bowl

2532
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:08,440
Speaker 1: team Super Bowl twenty. I've said this a million times.

2533
02:11:09,240 --> 02:11:12,960
Speaker 1: There were seven guys in the entire NFL in the

2534
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:16,120
Speaker 1: program that were listed at three hundred pounds plus. We

2535
02:11:16,240 --> 02:11:18,440
Speaker 1: had three of them. Yeah, we had three of them.

2536
02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:21,840
Speaker 1: They all started Will Wolford, Howard Ballard, and I think

2537
02:11:21,920 --> 02:11:26,480
Speaker 1: the other one was was the guard. Who was it,

2538
02:11:26,640 --> 02:11:30,040
Speaker 1: John Davis, John Dash, John Davis, Yeah, John Davis on

2539
02:11:30,080 --> 02:11:32,280
Speaker 1: the first and he didn't start. I don't think he

2540
02:11:32,440 --> 02:11:35,240
Speaker 1: might have he did later, I know, Yeah, but that

2541
02:11:35,360 --> 02:11:37,200
Speaker 1: was it. We had three of the three of the

2542
02:11:37,320 --> 02:11:42,360
Speaker 1: seven three hundred pound guys listed in the NFL. The

2543
02:11:42,480 --> 02:11:45,400
Speaker 1: better athlete you the bigger you are in the better athlete. Yeah,

2544
02:11:45,680 --> 02:11:49,360
Speaker 1: and not only and not for nothing either. That's when

2545
02:11:49,520 --> 02:11:51,840
Speaker 1: teams start to have problems with injuries is when they

2546
02:11:51,880 --> 02:11:56,200
Speaker 1: get too light and they're fast. The velocity is there,

2547
02:11:56,240 --> 02:11:58,400
Speaker 1: but they don't have the weight to withdore the in

2548
02:11:58,600 --> 02:12:01,120
Speaker 1: the collisions and they start to break down. You can

2549
02:12:01,200 --> 02:12:03,080
Speaker 1: have a couple of those guys. There are a couple

2550
02:12:03,120 --> 02:12:05,360
Speaker 1: of exceptions to the rule, but too many of them.

2551
02:12:05,360 --> 02:12:07,880
Speaker 1: There's always exceptions. Too many. There are young there are

2552
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:09,680
Speaker 1: light guys who are fast that can play and they

2553
02:12:09,760 --> 02:12:11,440
Speaker 1: never get hurt. But there are a lot of guys.

2554
02:12:12,160 --> 02:12:14,040
Speaker 1: As a rule, you get a team that's a little

2555
02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:17,600
Speaker 1: bit light in the pants but very fast, and sooner

2556
02:12:17,680 --> 02:12:19,480
Speaker 1: or later you get somebody that's just bigger and they

2557
02:12:19,520 --> 02:12:23,520
Speaker 1: don't break and they and your guy does. All right,

2558
02:12:23,560 --> 02:12:25,800
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but one segment to

2559
02:12:25,880 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 1: go before we close up shop for the week. It's

2560
02:12:28,400 --> 02:12:30,640

2565
02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:05,640
Speaker 1: from NFL Films, Great co Cell discussed why the Bills

2566
02:13:05,720 --> 02:13:11,560
Speaker 1: defense will have success against the Raiders. I would expect

2567
02:13:11,600 --> 02:13:13,800
Speaker 1: the Bills defense to play well this week. I don't

2568
02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:17,280
Speaker 1: think there's a ton of weaponry on the Raiders right now.

2569
02:13:17,360 --> 02:13:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you got to deal with Waller. I

2570
02:13:19,320 --> 02:13:21,280
Speaker 1: think Jacobs is a top five back in the league,

2571
02:13:21,280 --> 02:13:23,400
Speaker 1: so you got to make sure he's just not rushing

2572
02:13:23,440 --> 02:13:26,160
Speaker 1: twenty five for one fifty. But there's not a lot

2573
02:13:26,240 --> 02:13:29,360
Speaker 1: of weaponry on the perimeter. Renfro's a nice slot receiver,

2574
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:33,240
Speaker 1: but beyond that, you know, with Rugs out, with Edwards out,

2575
02:13:34,360 --> 02:13:36,880
Speaker 1: it's I would expect Sean and Leslie to do a

2576
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:40,480
Speaker 1: good job this week. So he's expecting a bounce back

2577
02:13:40,520 --> 02:13:44,040
Speaker 1: week for Buffalo's defense, and the Raiders are nicked up.

2578
02:13:44,480 --> 02:13:46,080
Speaker 1: They are nicked up. They might not have their top

2579
02:13:46,160 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 1: two receivers. Even Josh Jacobs is nicked up. Knee and

2580
02:13:48,360 --> 02:13:52,560
Speaker 1: hamstring ailments this week. Well yeah, it's starting to look

2581
02:13:52,560 --> 02:13:56,080
Speaker 1: like a mash unit in Las Vegas. But still no

2582
02:13:56,240 --> 02:13:58,520
Speaker 1: positive tests after the fiasco on Monday, We'll have to

2583
02:13:58,560 --> 02:14:01,680
Speaker 1: see everything is on scale. Joel Let's go, let's play

2584
02:14:02,040 --> 02:14:04,000
Speaker 1: and come out of it COVID free with a win

2585
02:14:04,520 --> 02:14:07,000
Speaker 1: one week for us. Thanks for joining us here on
