1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: This one, Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: How is everybody doing? I hope you had a great

3
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend, Chris Brown, Steve Task, We've already been

4
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: in the saddle today. We were TV only yesterday, but

5
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: we're back to our regularly simulcasted locations. So welcome back

6
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: on the radio side and obviously on the TV side

7
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: as well. As we are ready for Week one. We

8
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: are prepped. We're here to get you prepped as we

9
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: get set for Bills Ravens on Sunday Night Football Week one,

10
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: a titanic matchup to start the season. And we've already

11
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: discussed this to some degree on yesterday's show. We'll do

12
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: more of it here on today's show, because I think

13
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: just about every Bills fan, whether you are of the

14
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: casual variety, the die hard variety, or somewhere in between,

15
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: you know this is going to be anything but an

16
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: easy game and is not even chalked up as a

17
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: certain victory by any stretch. Some of the people we

18
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: even had on the show yesterday, Mike Clay from ESPN,

19
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: for example, NFL senior writer, he called it a toss

20
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: up game, and I think it is every bit that

21
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday night, and I think what makes it interesting too, Steve,

22
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: is not just the fact that presumably all of the

23
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: important parties are healthy, because we know last year in

24
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: the playoff game, the Ravens didn't have Zay Flowers, and

25
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: last year in the Week four game, the Bills didn't

26
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: have Terrell Bernard, Matt Malona or Taron Johnson at the

27
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: second level of their defense, and Khalil Shakira gets hurt

28
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: in that game. Week one, hopefully everybody's good to go.

29
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: We'll have to see how Shakir comes through this week

30
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: after finally returning to practice last week from the high

31
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: ankle spring he suffered on August first, and it's the

32
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: Ravens are probably hoping they're going to have Isaiah likely back,

33
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: but that does not seem very likely, at least at

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: this juncture. We'll see if that changes when John Harbaugh

35
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: meets the Baltimore media tomorrow, and we'll obviously get updates

36
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: on people like Tredavius White and Khalil Shakir tomorrow when

37
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: coach McDermott addresses the media, So we'll see about all

38
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: of that in addition to what we anticipate in the game.

39
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: But this is.

40
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: I saw the series. Now, I saw the NFL dot

41
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: com people pick pick the Bills Ravens game across the board.

42
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: Nobody has it as more than a three point victory

43
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 2: for either team.

44
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's it's gonna be a nail biter, one

45
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: possession game. I would think it might not be, but

46
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: who knows. Yeah, it's in this venue. The Bills are

47
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: hard to beat. Baltimore's got the perfect kind of team

48
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: to come on the road and beat a team like Buffalo.

49
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: Both teams are gonna be healthy, so there's some a

50
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: little bit of an unknown as to how they'll the

51
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: tactics and who's gonna shine in this game. Who's gonna

52
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: get opportunities in this game because of the play calls?

53
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: You know, Milano Bernard Tarren Johnson for the Bills is

54
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: a flowers.

55
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

56
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: And the and here's the big thing for me, I've

57
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: said it for weeks. The Ravens are gonna have a

58
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: chip on their shoulder. The size of the stadium. They're

59
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: gonna have absolutely have revenge on their mind. And that

60
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: is an universal that's a universal thing in the NFL.

61
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: It is an absolute difference maker.

62
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: Yep, We've seen it over the years with the Bills.

63
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys, when you played the Cowboys early

64
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: in the season after that first Super Bowl.

65
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: The Cincinnati Bengals the year after, they put us out.

66
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: In the Championship game, yep eighty nine.

67
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: Same thing.

68
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: The Bills win. The Bills in two thousand season opener

69
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football against the Tennessee Titans after getting bounced

70
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs from home run throwback. I was

71
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: there for that game and it was a tight one,

72
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: but the Bills were supremely determined to win that football game,

73
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: and they ultimately did sixteen thirteen. There have been a

74
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: number of examples. You have to believe the Ravens are

75
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 2: going to come equipped with that first day of training camp,

76
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's asked about how the season ended the previous

77
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: year and the fact that they have the same team

78
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: in week one, and Lamar's answer was, we have vengeance

79
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: on our mind, so they will be coming in here

80
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: supremely motivated. I think that's to be expected and understandable.

81
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely good for them, you know, I mean, that's the

82
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: way it works. That's the way it works. That's the

83
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: way it works.

84
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: We do have some breaking Bills news to get to,

85
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: as it looks like another former Bill is returning to Buffalo.

86
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, free agent wide receiver Gabe

87
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: Davis is signing with the Bills on their practice squad.

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: Davis is still recovering from a tornmentiscus suffered last season

89
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: and is still not one hundred percent. As most of

90
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: you know, Davis is a former fourth round pick of

91
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: the Bills in twenty twenty. In his four years with Buffalo,

92
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: he had one hundred and eighty three receptions for twenty

93
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: nine hundred and sixty nine yards and twenty seven touchdowns.

94
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: In regular season play, he averaged sixteen point one yards

95
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: per reception and a catch rate of fifty one point

96
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: five percent. Steve your thoughts at first, blush here.

97
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 3: I think they like the guy that he is and

98
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 3: what he brings. I think he's a lot like Jordan

99
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 3: Poyer At this point, it's hard to get much younger. Yeah,

100
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 3: he's still got some football left. I think he's he well,

101
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: you know that he never he has never caught the

102
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: ball well enough to be a number one guy, even

103
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: though he has the size and speed. He's a physical player.

104
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: He's a mature guy, a real professional. He'll bring something

105
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: to the wide receiver's room, maybe to a guy like

106
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: Keon Coleman, you know, as a as a guy who

107
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: knows how to prepare, knows the offense, knows the ins

108
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: and outs of it. But I have a hard time

109
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: seeing him supplanting anybody on the on the roster, including

110
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: a guy like Terrell Shavers who's been here and has

111
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 3: earned his way onto the roster. He might have been

112
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: brought in as a guy to hey, you, a guy

113
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: like Shavers or whoever, say hey, listen, you gotta keep

114
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: working because we've got this guy in the background now

115
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: who can who is good enough to play, has played

116
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: for five years in the league. So it might be

117
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: a little bit of that keeping keeping the pressure on

118
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: the guys at the bottom of the roster. But at

119
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: this point that's it. I mean, you can't say anymore

120
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: that it means any more than that.

121
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: Well, and he's not healthy. We know that much too,

122
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: because he was here on a free agent visit last

123
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 2: week and we just happened to see him in the building,

124
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: and you know it was it was clear he's not

125
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 2: one hundred percent yet. So he's going to work towards

126
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: getting one hundred percent healthy, and then we'll see where

127
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: things go from there. I don't think it should be

128
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: dismissed that the Bills maybe more than ever value receiver's

129
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: ability to block in the run game. It's it's practically

130
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: a prerequisite for receivers on this roster. If you are

131
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: a receiver on this roster, you better know how to

132
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: run block and you better know how to do it effectively.

133
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis can do that in space, so that's the

134
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: other thing to do that. Yeah, and that's the other

135
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: asset that I think he brings to the table besides

136
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: just his receiver exploits. So we'll see where that goes,

137
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: and we'll see how long it does take Gave Davis

138
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: to get to one hundred percent full health. And we'll

139
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: also wait for the Bills to officially confirm this signing

140
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: that was reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. So that's Bill's

141
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: note number one, Bill's note number two. NFL Network Cynthia

142
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: Freeland has put out her twenty twenty five win total projections.

143
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: Atop the list are the Bills at eleven point eight wins.

144
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: She had the ceiling at thirteen point one victories, the

145
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 2: floor at ten victories. The eleven point eight win figure

146
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: projection is the highest total for AFC clubs. The teams

147
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 2: right behind the Bills Baltimore at eleven point six, wins

148
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: Kansas City at eleven point two, wins Denver at nine

149
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: point seven, Cincinnati nine point one, Houston at nine even

150
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: thoughts on that that's about right. Eleven point eight is

151
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: a good middle ground, I think to come in at right, Like.

152
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, in Baltimore Denver at nine point seven is a

153
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: pretty good number. But yeah, okay, yeah, what are you

154
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: gonna do? I don't know what's gonna happen, you know.

155
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: I like the order she's got them in Baltimore Kansas

156
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: City than Denver. Yeah, Denver's a wild card again.

157
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: Denver's defense is it's for real, it's loaded.

158
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 3: It's for real, And they do get a plan.

159
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: The Charger.

160
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: They gonna play the Raiders twice, the Chargers twice, not

161
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: that that's I mean the Chargers were also in the

162
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: playoffs last year. They won eleven games. We'll see. The

163
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: AFC West is going to be a really interesting division

164
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: this year.

165
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: And we're hoping they beat up on each other to

166
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: make the one seed a greater possibility for Buffalo. The

167
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: NFL's top one hundred revealed their top ten players last night.

168
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen number three on the list. The only two

169
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: players ahead of him Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkley, who

170
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: was number one. Do we think this listing Steve puts

171
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: Josh in a certain mindset Sunday night, knowing he's facing

172
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: the only quarterback ahead of him on the list. I

173
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: don't know.

174
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: I don't think it has anything to do with it.

175
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: I mean, certainly, yeah, you don't need the extra motivation.

176
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: I mean you can dredge it up. I mean some

177
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 3: guys need that.

178
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: You're not on Sunday night football week one.

179
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, right. If you're coming down that tunnel on

180
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: Sunday night football in this building and you need extra juice,

181
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: you check your pulse, it's gonna be an amazing I'm.

182
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say. I'm not saying that Josh is

183
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, but in terms of scoring in the NFL.

184
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: And I took that person well.

185
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 2: In terms of scoring, I've I've said it on the

186
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: air during broadcasts. Nobody scores points like Josh Allen does.

187
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: He has more touchdowns than anybody in football in their

188
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: first seven seasons in the history of the league. He's

189
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan on a football field in terms of scoring points.

190
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: Is he Michael Jordan in terms of taking things personally?

191
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: He might be, although he seems too kind of golden

192
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: retrieverish to.

193
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: Hope he's a little more. He's a little more fun loving, happy,

194
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: go lucky.

195
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: He seems like he doesn't need that personal affront to

196
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: be motivated, correct, he just certainly, And for a guy

197
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: like Josh and in this day and age, if you

198
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: want personal motivation where somebody's challenging your manhood or telling

199
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: you you stink and all, Josh Allen, right, you just

200
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: go on social media for a half minute. You can

201
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: get it anytime you want. So, Yeah, I don't come on, no,

202
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: I don't think he needs that extra motivation. It's there

203
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: if you want it, go out and get it.

204
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.

205
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 3: Lamar same thing. He can go out and find it

206
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: wherever he looks too. I mean, just go on the

207
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: other team's website for crying out loud. You know, it's

208
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: it's always out there in this day and age. If

209
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: you want to take stuff personally. There's plenty of people

210
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: who will give you fodder for that.

211
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: So Josh is number three on the list. Lamar Jackson

212
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: number two, Saquon Barklay number one. All told three Buffalo

213
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: Bills make the top one hundred, Deon Dawkins, James Cook,

214
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. So there's your Bill's representatives on the NFL

215
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: Top one hundred. Let's go around the NFL. Brought to

216
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: you by Kalida Healthy, Official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

217
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: RAMS quarterback Matthew Stafford, who missed time with an aggravated

218
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: disc in his back, is expected to dart the season

219
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: opener against the Houston Texans. According to the head coach

220
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: Sean McVay, Stafford missed nearly the first month of training

221
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: camp while dealing with the injury, but has been a

222
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: full participant in practice since August eighteenth. McVeigh said Monday,

223
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: Stafford will participate in the full week of practice leading

224
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: up to Rams Week one game against the Texans.

225
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not a surprise. I figured they were pacing

226
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 3: him and making sure he's going to be ready. I

227
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: think the Rams, if Stafford's under center, they're going to

228
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: be good because he can still sling it. How durable

229
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 3: he's going to be and how many games he starts

230
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: as a question mark. I still think they're a really

231
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 3: good franchise. I think McVay is a really good coach

232
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: and stafford as we're watching highlights now, the guy can

233
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: sling it.

234
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm one of the best puer the football.

235
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 3: They'll be really good if he stays upright, that's correct.

236
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterbacks, the Giants have listed rookie Jackson Dart

237
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: as the number two quarterback behind starter Russell Wilson. Jameis

238
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: Winston listed as the number three QB on the unofficial

239
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: depth chart. NFL Networks Mike Garafolo said that his ability

240
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: to handle the preseason games with poise and make quick

241
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: decisions gave the coaches confidence. It wouldn't be too big

242
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: for Dart if he's thrust into action in the regular season,

243
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: number two quarterback right out of the wrapper.

244
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: It's good.

245
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: That's where he should be with Russ Wilson on the roster.

246
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that it's more about Winston and Dart

247
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: than it is about Winston and Wilson. I get it,

248
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: or Dart and Wilson, I get it.

249
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: I'll still say it though. I mean, if yeah, that

250
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: that's where Jackson Dart should be and he.

251
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: Had a good preseason, there's no game planning.

252
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: The clock is ticking on Week four, his emergency. Week

253
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: five after four, yeah, he is.

254
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: Week five is the Saints game, and that's the only

255
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: hole where if you want to stick Dart in his

256
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: first career start, that would be the place to do it.

257
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: They got because that giant schedule.

258
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: Is they're gonna be They're gonna get beat by Minnesota early.

259
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: Hold On, is this right?

260
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 5: No?

261
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: I got it wrong. Hold on, this is right here

262
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: we go. It's gonna be Washington. That's a loss. Dallas, Ah, they.

263
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: Might win that. Maybe they might win that Dallas, but Dallas.

264
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: Kansas City, no way, the Chargers maybe. So if they're

265
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: two and two going into week five, I think Jackson

266
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: Dart stays where he's at on the bench, on the bench.

267
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: But they're gonna be even if they are two and two,

268
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: they're gonna.

269
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: Be three and changes fast.

270
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: They're gonna be three and two and then they're gonna

271
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: be three three. Oh yeah, I mean it's totally pretty.

272
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: Eagles at Broncos at Eagles forty nine Ers have fun.

273
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: In October Boys Wow.

274
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: Week ten, Jackson Dart will make his debut against the

275
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: Chicago hapless Chicago Bears.

276
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: That's your prediction, Okay, put it on the White Bears.

277
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: Because I because things have changed now with Dallas, They're

278
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: not gonna be zero to three, and I think they can.

279
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: Their defense gives him a chance against the Chargers in

280
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: Week four. So if they can go two and two

281
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: out of the first four games, Jackson Dart's gonna have

282
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: time to incubate.

283
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: Giants have a pass rush. Now.

284
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: If they're one in three, zero and four going into

285
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: the New Orleans Saints game, Jackson Dart is gonna start,

286
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: and he's gonna start the remainder of the games. And

287
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: if he can stay up right.

288
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, Cavon, Thibodeauster Lawrence, they got some dudes.

289
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: That's that's a good force ofthing. And to rush the past.

290
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: We've been We've been talking about a lot, even ever

291
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: since the Super Bowl this last year, where quick pressure

292
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 3: with four guys rushing is the magic elixir in the NFL.

293
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: If you can't handle four guys rushing and keep them

294
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: off the quarterback fast to get the ball out fast,

295
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: you're done. So if the Giants can do that with

296
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: the guys you just mentioned, they're gonna better than a

297
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: lot of people getting credit for. But they got they

298
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: gotta do that every week.

299
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans signing former Cardinals linebacker Kaisier White that according

300
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 2: to White himself on social media, White at one hundred

301
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: and thirty seven tackles two and a half sacks, nine

302
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: tackles for loss with Arizona last season. Looks like Chargers

303
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: running back Najie Harris is good to go for Friday

304
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 2: season opener against the Chiefs in Brazil. Harris missed all

305
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: of training camp because of an eye injury he sustained

306
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: in a fireworks mishap on July fourth. He's been practicing

Speaker 2: all week, was cleared for contact, so expected to play

308
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: Friday night. Free agent wide receiver Kendrick Bourne still on

309
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: his free agent tour, but he could be coming to

00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: an end quickly. Yesterday he met with the forty nine Ers.

311
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: Today he's visiting with the Commanders. Both teams reportedly have

312
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: the framework of a deal in place for the veteran Whiteout,

313
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: so it sounds as if the final decision sits with

314
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: Bourne and presumably that could be making his could be

315
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 2: made as soon as today. And Bill Belichick lost his

316

353
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: put Tad on hold here. We'll check back in with

354
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,400

355
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: you did, We go to Kevin and Williamsville next. What's

356
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: up Kevin?

357
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 6: Guys? It's an exciting week looking forward to the upcoming opener.

358
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 6: You know, I was kind of rethinking my comment I

359
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 6: was going to make and thought it was kind of

360
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 6: lame and I was going to kind of switch it

361
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 6: up a bit. But you know what I'm going to

362
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 6: do with it? Say it anyways. You know, from a

363
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 6: hospitality standpoint, being in the stadium in the new stadium,

364
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 6: to be that train that we hear roaring during the

365
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 6: course of a game, to kind of pick up the

366
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 6: crowd and the players, I wish they would do away

367
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 6: with that that. There's has to be more creativity. I

368
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 6: would think to pull that out, which sounds like coming

369
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 6: from the eighties and do something that has a little

370
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 6: bit more originality to it. I don't know what it is.

371
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 6: I just think that that noise is annoying. And I

372
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 6: know you know some people that won't even watch where

373
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 6: they mute the their TVs when when watching the Bills

374
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 6: game just because of that.

375
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: Well you know why they Kevin, you know there's a

376
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: time and place when they do the train.

377
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 6: Horn right, say that one more time.

378
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, you know that there's a specific time when

379
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: they do the train horn right.

380
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 6: I don't know that specifically.

381
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: Tummy every third down on defense, interesting defensive when they

382
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: blow the train horn.

383
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, how about you know you look

384
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 6: at the sphere in Las Vegas where you go into

385
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 6: this this enclosure and you see these movies that are

386
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 6: just round sound and just rumbling your seats and so on.

387
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 6: How about in the stadium it's probably obviously too late.

388
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 6: You know, you have a sound effect or heard of

389
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 6: Buffalo just rocking the whole place up and vibrating these seats.

390
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 6: Just something a little bit more creative than the low

391
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 6: I don't know it sounds so, I don't know, maybe annoying,

392
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 6: but just the thought, you know, just taking out of

393
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 6: the box again and doing something. And if I may

394
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 6: just ask, if you could just bring us up to speed,

395
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 6: what's the what's life like the day before a Buffalo

396
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 6: Bill player in the home game? Where are they? What's

397
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 6: the time frame leading up to Sunday night? Are they

398
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 6: sleeping somewhere else then their home? The night before? Are

399
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 6: they meeting? What's how does that? What's the agenda on

400
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 6: their plate? Thanks so much, guys, thanks for the call.

401
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 2: First of all, I'll say there is the sound effects.

402
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: Have a heard of Buffalo and that usually is on

403
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: the big board and rumbling through the speakers right before

404
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: the opening kickoff of home games, that is when that

405
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: usually runs, so they've already been there and done that

406
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: as well as for the players. Steve can address this

407
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: more than I can. But or home games, they are

408
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 2: in a hotel here locally as a team and meeting

409
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: the night before. It's typically the way it works.

410
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 3: It's a routine. They get in the exact same routine,

411
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: and they do that at home games because of the

412
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 3: propensity for families and supports support group. You know, whoever

413
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 3: a player has to support him, whether it's his wife

414
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: and children, or his mom and dad, or his brothers

415
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: and sisters or whatever, college, but whatever it is, whoever

416
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: you're living with, who takes care of your personal life

417
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: while you're doing this pro football thing. Of their propensity

418
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: to show up on game day, your brothers, your family,

419
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 3: you have out of town guests, and it's been proven

420
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: over the years that it's really good for players to

421
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: get out of the house the night before game because

422
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 3: it's a party for the family and everything. They're glad

423
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: to be in there. Let's get together, let's have fun.

424
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: It's going to be a great game tomorrow. Let's go

425
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: watch YadA, YadA, YadA. So they'd get the players out

426
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 3: of that environment and get them and keep them focused

427
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: on the fact that it's a business setting. And so

428
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: they bring him into the hotel. They'll have they have

429
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: conference rooms. They break down into meetings of various kinds.

430
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's only a team meeting. Sometimes it's offense and

431
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: defense meeting. Sometimes it's a positional meeting. Quarterbacks usually get

432
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: together the night before a game, and there's you know,

433
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: every team is a little bit different depending on what

434
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 3: they do, but there is a routine week in week out.

435
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 3: On road games, of course, they're in a hotel together.

436
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 3: It's the same thing at at home. It's usually the

437
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: same hotel, always the same hotel, and they have meetings

438
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 3: and snack and they have a scheduled snack. They have

439
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: this kind of thing that guys get into a pregame

440
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: ritual individually and collectively. So I don't you know, and

441
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: the specifics of which is probably pretty mundane. You know,

442
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: I get my snack, I go to bed, well that

443
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 3: kind of thing, you know, go to meetings, do that.

444
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: But they see the value in the rootine.

445
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 3: The value is in the routine. It's comforting to have

446
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: a ritual like that, and guys do it so yeah,

447
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 3: Like Brownie said, they have a hotel that they get

448
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: together at and it's all set up and it's the

449
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: same every week, and they do that for the guys

450
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: to get them out of the distractions of the Bill's

451
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: Mafia descending on the stadium in full force like a festival.

452
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: They got work to do.

453

00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 4: Can you hear me?

470
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 7: Guys?

471

Speaker 2: Yes?

00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: We can go ahead?

473
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 7: All right?

474
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 8: Hey, I caught the cut the episode yesterday and I

475
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 8: wanted to throw out just a couple of bold predictions

476
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 8: before today. Number one bold prediction, Snowman wins the newest

477
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 8: Award for offensive Lineman.

478
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that.

479
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 8: I don't think that. I don't think it's a I

480
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 8: don't think it's a huge topic for debate. I think

481
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 8: Dion's easily top five in the league, if not top

482
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 8: to or three. Okay, Second bull prediction, I'm going to say,

483
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 8: I'm going to say Buffalo leads leads the NFL in

484
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 8: SAX This year, gregers So goes for double digits. I'm

485
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 8: gonna say fourteen fourteen. I don't know he's been, He's

486
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 8: he's steadily improved every year. I don't have any reason

487
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 8: to believe.

488
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 9: That he won't.

489
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't met.

490
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: I had him as a double digit sack guy this year.

491
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: Also at fourteen, that's a big number. I'll be really

492
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: happy if he hits it. Don't get me wrong, all right?

493
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 8: Coolah, yeah, I'd love to see it, but yeah, I

494
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 8: think as a whole the defensive line, I think I

495
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 8: think we'll lead the NFL in sack this year, and

496
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 8: I think our rookies are gonna are gonna give us

497
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 8: more as the year goes on. And then once you know, Hoyden,

498
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 8: Ogan Jobe get back after you know week eight, then

499
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 8: I think we'll see a dramatic upstick then.

500
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: All right, Ted, thanks very much for the call. We

501
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: appreciate it, especially with you calling from Kansas, because Steve,

502
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 2: with that phone call from the state of Kansas, One

503
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 2: Bill's Live has now taken phone calls from thirty eight

504
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: different states in the Union.

505
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: Look at us we are.

506
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: We are a national show. I think that's safe to

507
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: say thirty eight different states we have taken phone calls from.

508
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: So thanks for doing that, Ted, you added to our list.

509
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, And yeah, I think those are not only

510
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: good predictions, but achievable ones, you know, for Dion and

511
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 2: for Rousseau.

512
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly Dion is going to get some consideration for it. He,

513
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: along with Andrew Whitworth, kind of came up with this

514
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 3: beerhead Protector of the Protector of the Year to give

515
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: the O line a chance to get recognized as an

516
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: individual aside from you know, being that one position group

517
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: that's all of itself. O line. That's awesome, and the

518
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: leading the league in sacks. That's that's very bold given

519
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: where they've been in the last few years and where

520
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 3: they were a year ago, and now certainly they've got

521
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: a big change over personnel. There's a huge new rotation

522
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 3: coming along with this new group, and they're going to

523
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: hopefully get a little bit of a boost in week

524
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: seven when he will be we Kate because of the

525
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: week seven bye week, the Week eight return of Hoyt

526
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: and Ogan Jobie and how they handle that. Yeah, we'll see.

527
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: I'll listen to it. Yeah, I'm all for it.

528
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: Uh. I actually saw Dion in the cafeteria this morning.

529
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: He brought his new family dog upstairs. Oh yeah, and

530
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: uh well I had to thank him personally because his

531
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: new dog is named Brownie. No way, it had nothing

532
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: to do.

533
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: With me, but I thanked him anywhere.

534
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: Well, I have I have full confidence that his kids

535
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: came up with the name for their new dog because

536
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: the dog is brown in colors. So that's what kids, do,

537
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: you know, Brownie? There you go. But I'll I'll take

00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: full credit claim it.

539
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: Just claim.

540
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: Back to the phones, though, and to Mark and West Seneca.

541
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: What's up, Mark? You're a little choppy, March. Give it

542
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: one more try here. Okay, yep, that's better. Up. No,

543
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: it's not all right, Mark, Mark, I got to put

544
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: you on hold and we'll have them check you out.

545
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: We may even have to have your call back. Yeah.

546
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: His line just cut out there. That was not going well. Sorry, Mark. Uh,

547
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: we go do Marie up in Niagara Falls. What's up Marie?

548
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 10: Hi, guys, how you doing today?

549
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: Good? Here are you?

550
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 10: I'm good? Thank you. My major reason for calling was

551
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 10: I wanted to thank Brownie for yesterday. I was sitting

552
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 10: on my computer doing some work and listening to the

553
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 10: show at the same time, and he mentioned, you can't

554
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 10: stop Patrick Mahomes. He's like a cockroach.

555
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 7: You can't kill him.

556
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I just I sat here and laughed for

557
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 10: a good twenty minutes after you said that. Okay, it

558
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 10: was great.

559
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: I'm glad you enjoyed that.

560
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 10: I guess my only concern for Sunday's game is Dereck Henry.

561
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one.

562
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 10: I mean, we got a good team set up this year.

563
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 10: I think they're going to do great.

564
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well that's the plan. You're right, Dereck Henry

565
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: is something to worry about. And you knew it was

566
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: going to be a long day last year in Week

567
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: four when right out of the gate he snaps off

568
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: that seventy five or sixty five yard eighty seven yard run.

569
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: The guy's enormous, he's a big dude, and he runs

570
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: really really fast, and it was it was just perfectly

571
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: drawn up, perfectly executed by the Ravens. And you got guy,

572
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 3: you got fast guys chasing him, and they they're not

573
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 3: gaining on him. It's just the way it is. And

574
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: that game, from that moment on was Baltimore's to lose.

575
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 3: We'll see, the Bill's got to play better defensively than

576
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 3: they did in that game. That was the first game

577
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: in forty three outings that the Bills had lost by

578
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: more than one possession when they did lose, and the

579
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 3: Ravens brought that streak to an end. And I'll say

580
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: this too, I read this on social I don't know

581
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: how accurate it is. I think it's been fifty three

582
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: or fifty five games that Lamar Jackson has started since

583
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: he has lost by more than a single possession. Yep,

584
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: he is the same. They're the same tough out man.

585
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: They are the same tough out Josh and Lamar, all

586
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: those guys. You can't run off and leave them. The

587
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 3: Ravens did last week in Week four, and they're the

588
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 3: first teams who have done it, and they're the only

589
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: team to have done it in a long long time,

590
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: in a long long time.

591
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: I will say this concerning the concerns about Derrik Henry,

592
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: they're well founded, Marie. So you're perfectly, you know, in

593
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: the right place to have such a concern after he

594
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: ripped off nineteen hundred and twenty one rushing yards last season.

595
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: But I will say this too, I think the thing

596
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: I am most excited about going into the season is

597
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: to see how the young additions on the defensive line performed,

598
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: chiefly to t J. Sanders and Dion Walker on the

599
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: defensive interior. Those two players were acquired with this guy

600
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: in mind. Yeah, get some beef in the middle of

601
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: your defensive front and slow this dude down, or at

602
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: the very least hold up offensive linemen and keep them

603
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: from getting to the second level. So your linebackers are clean,

604
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: so they can run and make tackles on a guy

605
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: like this. So I'm very interested to see how this

606
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: defensive line that has been completely revamped this offseason looks

607
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: this time around against the Ravens.

608
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of things that have changed now,

609
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 3: certainly the Ravens and the Bills too. I mean, you're

610
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: in large measure trying to run it back as much

611
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 3: as you can from a year ago when they both

612
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 3: had outstanding years offensively, But there's a lot of change

613
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: over just because of the way the league runs it now.

614
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 3: You know, you've got a lot of the Ravens have

615
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 3: new players, Bills have new players, particularly on the defensive side.

616
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of things that are going to

617
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: be different about this matchup. But there are certain things

618
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 3: you depend on. You depend on Lamar, Josh, Derrick Henry,

619
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 3: James Cook. There's some familiar faces. They're gonna be a

620
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 3: big part of what goes on in this game. We

621
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: have seen Derrick Henry for a lot of years in

622
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 3: the NFL, and that guy can go. He can really go,

623
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: and you got to have a plan for him. We'll

624
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: see if the Bill's plan works this.

625
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 2: Year, looks like we got a better connection with Mark

626
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: in West Senecas, So let's go to Mark.

627
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 9: Now, what's up, Hey, guys, Sorry about that nault as

628
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 9: far as your question goes, And I missed a little

629
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 9: bit what you guys are talking about when my phone died.

630
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 9: So anyway, my concern is just coersiveness. Our talent old

631
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 9: doesn't concerned me. Concern me, I think it will be

632
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 9: on point. It's just how fast can we get out

633
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 9: three phases up to corsiveness and executing at a high level.

634
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 9: That would be my concern with the opponent we're playing

635
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 9: especially so. But what I called about today is I

636
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 9: don't know if this is brought up with the injury

637
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 9: to Carter. Do you think that pretty much fortifies the

638
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 9: fact they're gonna call pull ups up off the practice

639
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 9: squad because I think they need a big body and

640
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 9: they're gonna need some veteran help in the middle of

641
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 9: a line because you don't know how the rookies are

642
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 9: gonna perform, so you need somebody to fall back on

643
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 9: if you need to. And that leads me to a

644
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 9: question that's a little bit wrong. But if you give

645
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 9: me a second, I'd like to ask it as far

646
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 9: as contracts when guys are in camp, I must say

647
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 9: I always thought contracts don't pick in till you make

648
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 9: the fifty three. So I'm curious as how guys get

649
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 9: paid game camp and then if you don't make the team,

650
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 9: is there any negotiating as far as dire amounts if

651
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 9: you're gonna be put on the practice squad? And then

652
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 9: if you get caught up in the practice squad, I

653
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 9: know the game date checks are different than what you're

654
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 9: getting paid on the practice squad.

655
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 6: Correct, what do you base that on?

656
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 9: And then if you make the fifty three off the

657
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 9: practice squad because you got called up several times, what

658
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 9: is the contract you're given at that point in time?

659
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 9: Is it a negotiated thing or is it just that

660
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 9: dictated by league rules? So just curious because everybody always

661
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 9: thinks that these guys make so much, so much money.

662
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 9: But if you don't make the fifty three off a contract,

663
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 9: you know you're making good money and compared to us

664
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 9: that you're certainly not a millionaire for what I can tell.

665
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 9: So I'm very curious about that.

666
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem, Mark, we can help you with any

667
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: and all of that. First of all your point about

668
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 2: Dwayne Carter is is valid, I'm sure for those that

669
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: have not seen it. Even though the team has not

670
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: made an official roster move. Dwayne Carter put on his

671
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 2: social media yesterday or the day before that he suffered

672
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: an achilles injury and is out for the twenty twenty

673
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: five season. The team has not yet confirmed that. We

674
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: anticipate that'll happen, presumably tomorrow, and that spot on the

675
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: roster will eventually have to be filled. It may not

676
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: necessarily be a defensive tackle. They may need help somewhere

677
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: else for whatever reason. They still have the availability of

678
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: a practice squad elevation. The two defensive tackles they have

679
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: on their practice squad or Jordan Phillips and Zion Log.

680
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 2: Zion Log has been here for the duration of the

681
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: offseason and I thought had a pretty good preseason. Jordan

682
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: Phillips just swooped in here last week and signed a

683
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 2: practice squad so was signed to a practice squad spot.

684
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: What the team ultimately decides first is an elevation needed, Second,

685
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 2: if it is needed, who is it. We'll have to

686
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: see what those decisions are come the end of the week.

687
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: And then as for practice squad salaries. Yes, if you're

688
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: a veteran on the practice squad, of which teams can

689
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: have up to six veteran players on their practice squad,

690
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: those can be negotiated. To my knowledge, the ones that

691
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: are not veteran players, first second year players, those are

692
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: pretty standard salaries, which is usually thirteen thousand dollars per

693
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 2: week for a veteran. It's a minimum of seventeen and

694
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: a half up to twenty two thousand dollars per week.

695
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: When a player gets elevated from the practice squad, they

696
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: make a regular fifty three man roster game check, which

697
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: could increase their weekly earnings anywhere from thirty to fifty

698
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Steve, do you want to handle how players

699
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: are paid during training camp when.

700
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 3: They are not paid, They don't get anything during training camp.

701
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 3: They get a stipend. They're stipend. Yeah, you're doing it

702
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: for free in training camp.

703
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: Because they're paid over the eighteen weeks of the regular

704
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 2: Also say this contractive.

705
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: The practice squad goes against the cap all sixteen guys.

706
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: So do practice squad elevations to the active roster that

707
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: thirty to five fifty grand more they're making that's right.

708
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: It goes on the cap their salary, and so it

709
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 3: costs the club money when they bring a guy from

710
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 3: the practice squad up, or it might make him some money.

711
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 3: If a guy goes down to the practice squad who

712
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 3: is making, you know, a gazillion dollars, and you elevate

713
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 3: a guy who's not making a gazillion dollars, they might

714
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 3: save him some money on the cap that way. But

715
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't really usually happen. You don't really

716
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 3: trade out like that. But the sixteen guys on the

717
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: practice squad, they all count towards the cap. You got

718
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: to fit everybody under it. The Brownie's right that your

719
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 3: contract is what it is, and you don't get it

720
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 3: until you're on the fifty three.

721
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: That's so if you're if you're a player and you're

722
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: making ten million dollars this year in your contract and

723
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 2: you're on the active roster, that ten million dollars, presumably

724
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: mostly in base salary, is paid out over the eighteen

725
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 2: weeks of the regular season. You get a check every

726
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 2: Monday every regular season paying you that ten million dollars.

727
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: We used to used to be a ritual. You go

728
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 3: up to the and you that you physically get handed

729
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: at a game check. It's a and there you go, you

730
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 3: and you.

731
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 2: The practice squad elevations players can get up to three

732
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 2: per season, with the flexibility for the team to put

733
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: them right back on the practice squad after that game day,

734
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 2: and then they just stay back on the practice squad.

735
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: If there's a fourth elevation, I believe they have to

736
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 2: stay on the roster at least three games. And if not,

737
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: and you try to send them back down to practice squad.

738
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: If they're not a veteran player, they get put on

739
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 2: waivers first and they can be claimed by another team.

740
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: So that's the danger you would expose them to waivers

741
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: if they're a first or second year player that's up

742
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 2: for more than three call.

743
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 3: Ups, right, And that's the thing too, if if you

744
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 3: can always get plucked off the practice squad by any

745
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: other team, if you're out one of those six protected guys,

746
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 3: so that if you're a guy who's been up and

747
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 3: down and the team says, well I might need him,

748
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 3: they're gonna protect you. So they'll protect you on the

749
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 3: practice squad. But if it comes to it that they

750
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: elevate you so much, so many different times and they're

751
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: still trying to protect it. Then they get to the

752
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: point where they can't. They got to expose you to waivers. Now,

753
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: if they this is all complicated, I feel bad saying it.

754
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: But if they do expose you to waivers, you can

755
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 3: always a team wants to claim, you can always say no, right,

756
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 3: But if the team claims you, you got to go

757
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 3: on their fifty three So you're gonna make your game check.

758
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: And they have to keep you on their fifty three

759
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: man roster for at least three games.

760
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 3: They got to keep. Yeah, they got to keep you too.

761
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 3: So it's money out of your pocket. If you say, well, listen,

762
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 3: I don't want to go play for you know whatever,

763
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 3: Arizona or Cleveland or whoever you know, or whoever the chiefs.

764
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to go play for those guys. I

765
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 3: got a thing going here in Buffalo, and I want

766
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 3: to keep on with it. You can decline to be

767
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 3: picked up, but you're declining the three game checks that

768
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 3: you're automatically gonna get by getting picked up.

769
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, more of your phone calls.

770
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 2: When we come back. We will lead off with Tony

Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you on a Tuesday of Week one

774
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 2: of the regular season twenty twenty five, Bill's Ravens Sunday

775
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 2: Night Football and our topic, good discussion for you today?

776
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: What are your primary concerns about Week one? We begin

777
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: with Tom on the West Side. What's up? Tom?

778
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, I was expecting you to go to Tony

779
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 7: in Ontario.

780
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tony gave up, so you win.

781
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 7: No, I lose because I wanted to call on yesterday

782
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 7: but I couldn't. So my bold prediction is Josh Allen

783
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 7: is going to ride the marriage statistic train and have

784
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 7: a record year. Whether he breaks his own records or

785
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 7: NFL records, He's going to have a record year. That's

786
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 7: my bold prediction. Okay, Now I agree with Marie about

787
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 7: Derrick Henry, but that's on the defensive side of the ball,

788
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 7: and that's always been every time I call in, I

789
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 7: tell you about Derrick Henry, so I'm just repeating myself. Anyway.

790
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 7: My biggest concern is the Bills were favored by one

791
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 7: and a half points, and now Baltimore is favored by

792
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 7: one and a half. So apparently everybody was betting on Baltimore,

793
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 7: so they had to shift the line, and everybody was

794
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 7: saying the Bills are going to be favored all year.

795
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 7: So if it comes down to a field goal, can

796
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 7: we depend on Kyler Back, bath man, bath pro, whatever

797
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 7: you want to call him, Can we count on him

798
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 7: to kick that winning field goal? Because we really haven't

799
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 7: seen them all preseason?

800
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Tom, A valid question and a valid concern.

801
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 2: He did kick in the preseason finale against the Bucks,

802
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: and I think he was two of three on field goals,

803
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: hit the extra points. But then last week we saw

804
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 2: the Bills try out three veteran kickers. Now that prompted

805
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 2: some to sound alarm bells as to the capabilities of

806
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: Tyler Bass going into the regular season. It could also

807
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 2: just be exploratory work on the part of the personnel

808
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: department in the event that Tyler Bass sustains a setback.

809
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: We don't know, but yes, I think until we get

810
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 2: word that Tyler Bass has a clean bill of health

811
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 2: and is good to go, it's a valid concern, especially

812
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: for an upcoming game that's expected to be close. I

813
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: think that's fair.

814
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's no question about it. You expect this

815
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 3: to be a one possession game all the way through,

816
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 3: or at least at the end. And I don't really

817
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 3: ever get caught up in the betting lines because the

818
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: betting lines aren't about the game, They're about the betting public.

819
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 3: It's the opinion of the betting public. So yeah, the

820
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 3: teams haven't changed it. Nothing's gonna change about that. Certainly.

821
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 3: Brown and I both think this is gonna be a tussle.

822
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 3: And this is as tough a home game as the

823
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 3: Bills are gonna have all year because of the unknowns.

824
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.

825
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's where we both sit. We both think

826
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: this is a toss up. I think we both think

827
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 3: it's a toss up game. It's gonna be You're gonna

828
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 3: have to make a play at the end to win it,

829
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 3: and whoever does that is going to be the victor.

830
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 3: That means the Kickers as well. Just like you said, Tom,

831
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, we haven't heard anything like that yet,

832
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 3: but tomorrow, when Sean McDermott speaks, we probably will get

833
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 3: a better idea.

834
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,959
Speaker 2: Let's squeeze Nick in North Carolina in here before the break.

835
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: What's up, Nick?

836
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 11: All right, what's going on, guys, so real quick. My

837
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 11: biggest concern for this game is starting slow. I went

838
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 11: back and watched last year's opening game at home against Arizona.

839
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 11: We were down seventeen to three before we came back.

840
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 12: And eventually won it.

841
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 11: If we go down seventeen to three against this squad,

842
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 11: you might as well call it a day and go

843
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 11: to bed.

844
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: It's a fair concern, Nick, And that's a good point

845
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 2: that you bring up about last year's Week one game.

846
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 2: Josh had to put the cape on. He finished with

847
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: four touchdowns and they win thirty four to twenty six.

848
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 2: I think you're thirty four to twenty eight.

849
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, they started slow, no question about it. That's there's

850
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: a little different group offensively than it is this year.

851
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 3: They got another year under their belt, they got some

852
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 3: more experien guys on the outside. And you're right though too.

853
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 3: Josh didn't play in the preseason, so that may be

854
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 3: a concern.

855
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 2: For what it's worth. Lamar didn't either, and a lot

856
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 2: of their start so he didn't play in the preseason either.

857
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 3: That's the way it is, Man, And that Arizona game,

858
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 3: don't forget too.

859
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: It was at home, yep.

860
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 3: One o'clock on a Sunday afternoons, so there was no,

861
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 3: you know, nothing weird about it, like bad road trip

862
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 3: or anything like that. So it's a legit concern.

863
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here. When we come back,

864
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 2: our number two is going to begin with Greg Rosenthal

865
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 2: from NFL Network NFL dot Com. He joins us to

866
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 2: kind of go through some of the season predictions for

867
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five and he's got some reason for joy

868
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty five season. We'll find out why.

869
00:47:51,800 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: Next this One Bills Live presented by Calida Health.

870
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome into our number two here on a Tuesday,

871

Speaker 2: joining us here on one Bills Live. Also joining us

Speaker 2: here in hour number two is NFL dot Com writer

874
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 2: and host of the NFL Daily Podcast. It is Greg

875
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 2: Rosenthal joining us on the line. Greg, are we ready

876
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: for the start of the regular season?

877
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 13: Oh man, we could not be more ready. I feel

878
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 13: like all the takes have been taken. I'm sick of predicting, Like,

879
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 13: let me need some real football.

880
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 2: I understand you have reason for joy in the twenty

881
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 2: twenty five season. Tell us why?

882
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, that was our last show, and uh no,

883
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 13: just a reminder of the things we're all looking forward

884
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 13: to the most in this season. And one of them

885
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 13: Lamar Jackson, which is you know, that could be the

886
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 13: best divisional rivalry among quarterbacks him and Joe Burrow than

887
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 13: any quarterbacks in Jim Kelly and Dan Marino. I actually

888
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 13: went through it. I don't think there's been a better one.

889
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 13: So getting two of those a year is great, and

890
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 13: getting to Lamar Jackson Josh Allen right out the gate

891
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 13: is pretty great too.

892
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it does seem to be one of those seasons,

893
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 3: like they all are. They all have their own special intro.

894
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 3: Even on Thursday night when Dallas and Philly take the

895
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 3: field in Philly, that game has taken on a little

896
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 3: bit of a different turn now that Micah Parsons has

897
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 3: been traded. Does that change things for you in that

898
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 3: game coming up?

899
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 13: Absolutely, if Mike I expected Michael Parsons to be out there,

900
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 13: though hearing that he needs an injection on his back

901
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 13: is not why you want to hear if you're a

902
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 13: Packers fan. But he is the best peer pass rusher

903
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 13: I think has come into the league in the last

904
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 13: twenty years. I mean just if you look at his

905
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 13: pressure number he made since the day he joined the league,

906
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 13: I think he is at that level. So taking away

907
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 13: that big a difference maker from a defense that I

908
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 13: think is going to really struggle to stop the run.

909
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 13: I do not think they've made enough improvements there, and

910
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 13: then they're going against that offensive line and that running

911
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 13: game and that quarterback. It's going to be a long night,

912
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 13: I think for that Cowboys defense.

913
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 2: As far as the Bills, in the offseason, they had

914
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 2: who would you quantify as the most impactful addition to

915
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 2: the roster for this campaign?

916
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 13: Really interesting question because you know, if you had asked

917
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 13: me three months ago, I might have said Maxwell Harrison,

918
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 13: just that I think he needs to be good. He's

919
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 13: not going to be ready for the season. I think

920
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 13: they took these Boomer bust players and Harriston and Joey

921
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 13: Botsa specifically, I'll go with Bosa that they got him

922
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 13: at a discount, Joey Bosa because of the injuries that

923
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 13: he's had. When he's out there, he is absolutely the

924
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 13: type of player that this defense absolutely needed. I'm out

925
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 13: here in Los Angeles, and you know, you just have

926
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 13: to look at the the game logs, to see the

927
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 13: difference of a healthy Joey Bosa even when he's on

928
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 13: the field like last year, and when he's when he's not,

929
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 13: and man, that can Joey Bosa's impact. But they've got

930
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 13: him healthy to week one. The Chargers often couldn't do that.

931
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 2: And now we may have I have lost Greg.

932
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, I hear you here.

933
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 3: Oh there you go go ahead, Greg, just finish up

934
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 3: your thoughts on BA.

935
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, just when he's out there, he's an elite passeser

936
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 13: exactly what they need. And if he's not out there,

937
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 13: to me that that is a shortcoming for this defense.

938
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 3: Again, what is your biggest takeaways from this year's preseason

939
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 3: and if any.

940
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,760
Speaker 13: You know, it was interesting with the Bills. I thought,

941
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 13: you know, just think if I don't know if you're

942
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 13: talking about the Bills specifically, like I do like that

943
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 13: they settled in on the receiver rotation that they had.

944
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 13: I did get a feeling that Sean McDermott was trying

945
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 13: a lot of different things defensively. People say that you

946
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 13: don't really do much schematically in the preseason. I thought

947
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 13: that he was trying to figure out where his strengths

948
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 13: and weaknesses were. Certainly in the secondary and trying some

949
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 13: different schematic adjustments. And I think that safety position, which

950
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,240
Speaker 13: has been the bedrock for him for so long, definitely

951
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 13: has question marks going into the season.

952
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, And then with respect to Bill's Ravens here, Greg,

953
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 2: just about everybody that's picked this game doesn't have it

954
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 2: going more than three points in either direction? Did you

955
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 2: did you make a pick yet?

956
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 7: I have not.

957
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 13: I would. I would lean Bills just because they're home.

958
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 13: That's the easy way out that I would probably take

959
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 13: the home team here. I don't see a huge reason

960
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 13: to flip off the playoffs, even if I like the

961
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 13: Ravens overall talent level, probably going into the season a

962
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 13: little better in the continuity that they have on both

963
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 13: sides of the ball. I do like the Bills a

964
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 13: little better at home, all right?

965
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 3: And for thirty five years or so, four new teams

966
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 3: have made the playoffs. Then work that were out of

967
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 3: it from the year before. Hard to pick at this

968
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 3: end of the schedule, I get it, But what are

969
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 3: your best best guesses for maybe four teams that were

970
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 3: not in the playoffs last year that are now or

971
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 3: maybe this year.

972
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the Jaguars are a team on the

973
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 13: come up, and I think their schedule this year could

974
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 13: let them be one of the teams. The Bengals are

975
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 13: the easy way out because they didn't make the playoffs

976
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 13: last year. But if you're asking me to pick the

977
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 13: most likely, it certainly would be the Bengals and the

978
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 13: Jaguars in the AFC, and then in the NFC. Man,

979
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 13: I had the Cowboys in the playoffs and we had

980
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 13: to put in our picks before the Michael Parsons trade.

981
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 13: And I'm just stubborn enough to think that their offense

982
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 13: and they're at young offensive line, actually is going to

983
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 13: be better then a lot of people think ultimately. And

984
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 13: I always bet on quarterbacks, and I think they've got

985
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 13: such a good one in Dak Prescott they can still

986
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 13: sneak their way to ten wins. So I'll stick with

987
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 13: the Cowboys there, and then the forty nine Ers being

988
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 13: the most likely bounced back team in terms of the

989
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 13: offensive talent that they have.

990
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 2: And then the last one for me, Greg, I mean,

991
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 2: we saw that the reports out there that Dave Davis

992
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 2: is going to return to the Bills as a practice

993
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 2: squad signee, and it's it's pretty evident he's still not

994
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 2: one hundred percent healthy coming off that tor meniscus from

995
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 2: last year. But maybe maybe you know, extrapolate this out

996
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 2: a little bit. What do you see as realistic for

997
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis, whose year in Jacksonville did not go well.

998
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 13: Yeah, it did not. But he's so familiar with Josh

999
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 13: Allen obviously and everything with the Bills that if he

1000
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 13: can give them quality reps just as a fourth receiver,

1001
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 13: that adds a different dimension to them, taking the top

1002
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 13: off a defense they do it. Think it's something they're

1003
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 13: kind of miss I've seen in their wide receiver room,

1004
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 13: even though they have a lot of different types of

1005
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 13: skill sets. Man, that's a plus for the Bills because

1006
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 13: he basically just got him for free. So I think

1007
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 13: if Bills fans got twenty twenty five snaps a game

1008
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 13: out of him by the end of the year and

1009
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 13: he makes the occasional big, big time play for you,

1010
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:17,919
Speaker 13: that's a big time win to just.

1011
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 3: Add late in August, Greg, thanks so much for spending

1012
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 3: some time with us. Appreciate it, and we're good luck

1013
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 3: in the opening of the regular season. Hope you enjoy it.

1014
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 13: Appreciate it. Good talking to you guys.

1015
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 2: All right, that's Greg Rosenthal, who is NFL dot Com

1016
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 2: rider also co host of the NFL Daily podcast out

1017
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 2: There in LA, and he likes the Bills at home

1018
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 2: and I think they're And as one of our earlier callers,

1019
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 2: Tom mentioned, you know, this game originally had the Bills

1020
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 2: as a one and a half point favorite. It has

1021
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 2: since flipped to the Ravens, which will tell you where

1022
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 2: the money's going, and you would understand why. And as

1023
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 2: Greg pointed out, I think most people would acknowledge, even

1024
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 2: Bills fans, that top to bottom, the Ravens roster has

1025
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 2: more veteran experience and is probably more talented when you

1026
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 2: factor in the entire roster top to bottom. But the

1027
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 2: Bills at home are a bear. I mean we mentioned

1028
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 2: it on the show yesterday. Their last two losses at home.

1029
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 2: We're on a twelve men on the field penalty, second

1030
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 2: game winning kick attempt Denver to beat them in twenty

1031
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: twenty three and overtime. Yeah, and the one before that

1032
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 2: is overtime against Minnesota after a fumbled snap on the

1033
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 2: goal line and a fourth and eighteen conversion by Justin

1034
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 2: Jefferson with some help from Cam Lewis. So, I mean

1035
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 2: those are their last two losses at home.

1036
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,439
Speaker 3: They're tough to beat in this building, and they've done

1037
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 3: went ten and oh last year, and you think about it,

1038
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 3: last year that opened One of the callers brought it up.

1039
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 3: They were down seventeen to three at one point last

1040
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 3: year against Arizona out of the gate, like this game

1041
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 3: is gonna be opening Day. They came back and beat him.

1042
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 3: Uh So that's yeah, it's they're they're tough out. I mean,

1043
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 3: they always have been. They're gonna bet they're gonna continue

1044
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 3: to be. But they're playing an elite franchise in Baltimore.

1045
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 3: It's a well run organization and they're on an upswing.

1046
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 3: They're riding a crest. They got a quarterback, they got

1047
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 3: a defense as always, and they got a running game

1048
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 3: in an offensive line there, they've got it clicking. Uh

1049
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 3: So that's ope. It's different than opening up with the

1050
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals, despite the fact that the Cardinals jumped out

1051
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 3: big on the Bills early.

1052
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and we go to

1053
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 2: Kevin in Hamburg.

1054
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 5: Next.

1055
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 2: What's up, Kevin?

1056
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, how you doing bank for taking my call?

1057
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 14: Sure thing, My primary concern is the Rayvends mentality. Coming

1058
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 14: in this game knowing that the whole offseason they don't

1059
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 14: hear about the drop pass two point conversion. How if

1060
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 14: you would have had that, it would have been a high game.

1061
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 14: And who knows what's going on and the reason I

1062
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 14: want to bring that up, and I hate to dive

1063
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 14: into paintpal history, but we know how we felt going

1064
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 14: into that Ram game in twenty two, knowing the last

1065
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 14: meaningful game was the dread of thirteen second, that we

1066
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 14: couldn't stop Mahomes and we had to hear it until

1067
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 14: our gut hurt that whole offseason, and we took it

1068
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 14: to that Rams and that the Super Bowl champs thirty

1069
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 14: to ten in their own stadium, And even with the

1070
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 14: different situation that way, you know, different team. But they're

1071
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 14: gonna hear it now. How much they played the blame

1072
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 14: game in Baltimore and Andrews compared to our defense, I

1073
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 14: don't know, but I'm sure they'll hear it, and they'll

1074
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 14: probably kill their guts the whole year, and they're gonna

1075
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 14: come in, not that we'll be flat coming in with

1076
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 14: a ballfighter, knowing that they only lost basically because of

1077
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 14: a butterfingers tight end in a way, that same feeling

1078
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 14: that is gonna kill their guts the whole year, year

1079
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 14: through in the offseason. You know what I'm trying to say.

1080
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not nothing, Kevin. I mean, Steve and I

1081
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 2: mentioned it earlier. That sticks with players and it does

1082
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 2: provide an anti dose of motivation to kind of write

1083
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 2: what went wrong in their minds. And it wasn't just

1084
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,439
Speaker 2: you know, a drop two point conversion. It was Mark

1085
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 2: Andrew's fumble. After that, it was.

1086
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 3: A couple of intercept first half turnovers from Lamar.

1087
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: Two turnovers from Lamar, so three turnovers in all, and

1088
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,919
Speaker 2: a drop two point conversion to tie the game.

1089
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,959
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that and we've been that's the game. We've

1090
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 3: been saying that for weeks, Kevin, exactly what you were saying.

1091
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: Just now.

1092
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 3: They're going to be a hard team to beat, coming up.

1093
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 2: Hard question about it to Andrew on a Selle, what's

1094
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 2: up Andrew?

1095
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 15: Yeah, Hi, guys, take my call. I was, well, my

1096
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 15: main concern with the Ravens is one two pounds of

1097
00:59:55,680 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 15: Derrick Henry and Lamar of course, right, and but I

1098
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 15: wanted to ask, do you think gave Davis will be

1099
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 15: an in koindable significant contributor this year or to the Bills.

1100
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's hard to say right now for

1101
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 2: a couple of reasons. Andrew Number one, he's not one

1102
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 2: hundred percent healthy. He's still recovering from a badly torn

1103
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 2: meniscus that shortened his year last year with the Jaguars.

1104
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 2: He's still not one hundred percent now as we understand

1105
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 2: it based on the reports, because the Bills haven't confirmed

1106
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: anything yet. He's going to work himself back to one

1107
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 2: hundred percent while on Buffalo's practice squad and they'll address

1108
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 2: it from there. But the reason we there's no way

1109
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 2: to know now is because a we don't know what

1110
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 2: gave Davis is going to look like one hundred percent

1111
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 2: coming off the injury. And we also don't know how

1112
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 2: good the receiving corps is going to look through the

1113
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 2: first month or month and a half of the season.

1114
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: If Tyrell Shaver is putting up eighty yards and a

1115
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: touchdown a game, all that guy's not going anywhere. You know.

1116
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 2: If Joshua Palmer, you know, is the second coming of

1117
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: John Brown or even better, you know, there may not

1118
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 2: be a need on the active roster.

1119
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 3: Right, no be space for him. And plus I mean,

1120
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 3: Gabe Davis, while he's a physical player, he's if he

1121
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 3: comes back in that capacity where Shavers is off, he's on.

1122
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 3: Gab Davis's got to play special teams coming off a

1123
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 3: knee injury. So I don't know if that's gonna happen.

1124
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 3: It may be break glass in case of emergency type situation, might.

1125
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 2: Be it might be. Let's go to Joe in Tonawanda. Next,

1126
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 2: what's up, Joe?

1127
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 16: Hey, guys, Yeah, so a lot of things been covered already.

1128
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 16: But the first thing, we stopped Henry last year, so

1129
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 16: I guess we just got to do that again. And

1130
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 16: the second thing was, yeah, I agree with the other guy.

1131
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:56,479
Speaker 16: That train horn is really annoying. And uh oh, here's

1132
01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 16: a good one. The goalpost. They should have laser beams

1133
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 16: pointing up to the universe so we could see if

1134
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 16: that ball goes between the posts or not on them

1135
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 16: high ones. And the third thing was we should eliminate

1136
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:19,479
Speaker 16: the coin toss and home home field should just get

1137
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 16: choice automatic beginning a kickoff overtime, home field gets choice. Okay,

1138
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 16: thank you for your time.

1139
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 2: All right, Joe, it's an interesting take on that. I

1140
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 2: like the laser beam idea. Yeah, there are times, Steve,

1141
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 2: when the kick is higher then the length of the

1142
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 2: right goes over the top of the up end and

1143
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 2: you're just trusting an official to eyeball that from thirty

1144
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 2: feet below.

1145
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, here it's hard to explain without visual aid. But

1146
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 3: here I'm gonna try. When the ball goes through and

1147
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 3: we've all seen the ball bank off the goal post

1148
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 3: and go through or go out, or if the ball

1149
01:02:56,360 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 3: goes over the top of the goal posts, the inside

1150
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 3: edge of the ball, if it passes over the outside

1151
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 3: edge of the goal post, that is a good field goal.

1152
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 3: It's good. So if it would have gone lower and

1153
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 3: bounced off the goal posts lower and out, it would

1154
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 3: have been a no good field goal. So since it

1155
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 3: goes over the top and barely catches the edge with

1156
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 3: the inside edge of the ball, it's good.

1157
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 2: So three quarters of the ball is outside the edge

1158
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 2: of the upright and it goes over the top of

1159
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 2: the post.

1160
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 3: It's good.

1161
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 2: It's good.

1162
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 3: It's good. That's quarter. So think about it. The goalposts

1163
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 3: are actually wider above the pipe. So yeah, the laser

1164
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 3: thing makes a lot of sense. You can go back

1165
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 3: and wat to look at the film and if you

1166
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 3: see the like the red dot goal, you know, the

1167
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 3: red thing slash over the edge of the ball. It's

1168
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 3: a good field goal. You know, I can get behind that.

1169
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 3: And as for stopping Derrek Kennedy, he had sixteen rushes

1170
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 3: for eighty four yards and a touchdown. Last time they played.

1171
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 2: They neutralized him pretty well in the first half. Second half,

1172
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 2: he started getting started to get going and you're like,

1173
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 2: oh boy, right, gotta hold on here. That was kind

1174
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:13,919
Speaker 2: of how it went.

1175
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were you gonna.

1176
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 2: Held him under one hundred that I mean, and many

1177
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 2: teams would take that.

1178
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 3: They rushed. They rushed for one hundred and seventy six

1179
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 3: yards in that game. Yeah, so it wasn't nothing. Uh,

1180
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 3: And they threw for two hundred and forty They were

1181
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 3: penalized five times, but they had the three turnovers and

1182
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 3: that was what did it too.

1183
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 2: That was the game.

1184
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 3: That was the game.

1185
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 2: Let's get back on the phone lines here and we

1186
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,439
Speaker 2: go to Mike in Orchard Park next.

1187
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 12: What's up, Mike, Hey, guys, how you doing. Thanks for

1188
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 12: kicking the call. I guess we're a mat with the

1189
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 12: Buffalo Bills with this opener and whatnot. I don't have

1190
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 12: many concerns, as you know, other other you know, other

1191
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 12: people in the fan base may have like I feel like,

1192
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 12: you know, we one, we're gonna be We're gonna be healthy,

1193
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 12: We're gonna be one hundred percent, and there's gonna be

1194
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 12: no excuses. I guess what I'm concerned with is, you know,

1195
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 12: we haven't really seen the starters in the preseason, like

1196
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 12: you know, so I'm kind of curious to see what

1197
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 12: formations and well, you know what, what is the game

1198
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,959
Speaker 12: plan that Joe Brady is gonna have against Baltimore Ravens

1199
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 12: defense number one? But as far as the buffle of

1200
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 12: those defense, I feel pretty confident. Like the interior with

1201
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 12: the defensive side, Like the interior line is where I

1202
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 12: was going to start with last year, and I feel

1203
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 12: that's where we upgraded. So you know, I feel, you know,

1204
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 12: having having that and having you know, Molatto and TV

1205
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 12: in the middle and whatnot, I think we're gonna be

1206
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 12: able to you know, minimize you know, our safety issues,

1207
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 12: you know, with with with the Ravens. So you know

1208
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 12: that's where I'm come at. Other than that, I feel

1209
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,479
Speaker 12: pretty confident, man, I know the starters are probably ready

1210
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 12: to go.

1211
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 2: All right, all right, thanks Mike. Yeah, Well, ll have

1212
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 2: to see where it goes from here. I mean, hopefully

1213
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 2: there'll be a lot of attention paid to how well

1214
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakira is moving in practice after just getting back

1215
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 2: into the practice setting last week. He's obviously an important piece.

1216
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he had a big performance in that playoff

1217
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,919
Speaker 2: game against the Ravens. He was Josh's go to guy

1218
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 2: in the passing game, so he's a pretty important piece.

1219
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 2: So hopefully he comes through the week. Okay, coming off

1220
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 2: the high ankle sprain, it was clear last week that

1221
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 2: he was just getting back into the flow and wasn't

1222
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 2: really pushing it yet, at least from the portions of

1223
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 2: practice the media got to witness. So hopefully it's markedly

1224
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 2: more intense this week.

1225
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, finally, and you know we've been you sit here.

1226
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 3: It's week one and a lot of things changed just now.

1227
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 3: The Bills have finally released a depth chart for this week,

1228
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 3: and so not really many surprises. Taylor Rapping Cole Bishop

1229
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 3: are going to start at safety and Tyler Bass is

1230
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 3: going to be the kicker. There you go, So we

1231
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 3: were worried about him, and because they signed, they worked

1232
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 3: out the three kickers last week.

1233
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 2: Also, Jordan Hancock listed as a safety.

1234
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, that is interesting.

1235
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean he wouldn't be listed as something else or

1236
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: play somewhere else. I should say.

1237
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 3: He's also listed as a backup Nickel, backup Nickel. Yeah,

1238
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 3: but yeah, that's so. It's uh, nothing outlandish. It's Keon

1239
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 3: Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer at the wide.

1240
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 2: Outs on the front line in front.

1241
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1242
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 2: And uh and in case you didn't see this, Tyrrel

1243
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 2: Shavers has changed his number from eighty to fourteen. So

1244
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 2: do with that what you will. Let's go to Rick

1245
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 2: in California next. What you got first?

1246
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 5: Rick?

1247
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 17: Hey, guys, thank you so much thinking my call. Sure, So,

1248
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 17: my real concern really is, Julian, I don't have a

1249
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 17: concern about the game. I really don't. I know that

1250
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 17: Week one is a liar, So it doesn't matter if

1251
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 17: we blow out the Ravens or the Ravens blow us out,

1252
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 17: or it's a one point game, whatever, It's never really

1253
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 17: what it could be because it's Week one. Let's keep

1254
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 17: that in mind, Okay, But I honestly believe we're gonna

1255
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 17: need this game in the win column if we're gonna

1256
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 17: get the bye week come the playoffs, So that's the

1257
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 17: only real concern I have. I don't care if we

1258
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 17: lose the game or win the game on this one,

1259
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 17: because we're gonna be there in the mix of the

1260
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 17: end like we always are. I just think that when

1261
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 17: it comes to the bye week or having home field

1262
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 17: advantage for the ASC Championship game, it's gonna go through Baltimore.

1263
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 17: So I'm really hoping we can win this one just

1264
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 17: to keep that in our favor. And another thing I

1265
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 17: want to bring up, guys, is the uniforms. The I

1266
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 17: really like the the rivalry uniforms, but if you look

1267
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 17: at it at a glance, it looks like a creative

1268
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 17: Detroit Lions uniform, you know what I mean, And it

1269
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 17: really doesn't depict Buffalo I think in that aspect and

1270
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 17: in my regard. But then the other question I have

1271
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 17: for you guys, as the red helmets. How come we're

1272
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 17: only allowed to wear the helmets for the Week eighteen game?

1273
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 17: Because the way I see it, and we're gonna be

1274
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 17: the way that the Buffalo can play, Josh Allen and

1275
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 17: the guys aren't gonna play Week eighteen, so it's kind

1276
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 17: of like a wash of you know, being having the

1277
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 17: red helmets there. How come we can't have helmets on

1278
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 17: all the home field games? What's the big difference there?

1279
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 17: I understand the uniforms, but when it comes to the helmets,

1280
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 17: I want to see the red helmet in all of

1281
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 17: our home games this year being the last year at

1282
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 17: Imark Stadium. And that's pretty much all I got. Guys,

1283
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 17: go build.

1284
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, Rick. I don't know this for a fact,

1285
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 2: but my guess would be they wanted it to be

1286
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 2: a special occasion, and you know, a sendoff for the stadium.

1287
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 2: If you have it for every home game, well now

1288
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 2: it makes the last one not so special because you

1289
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 2: just wore it in the previous seven or eight home games.

1290
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 2: So I think they wanted it to be a standalone

1291
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 2: tribute to the stadium's history in the final regular season game.

1292
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 2: I think that was the impetus for why it was

1293
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 2: only one games. As for the rivalry uniform, Steve, I

1294
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 2: did hear that some of it was rooted in the

1295
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 2: uniforms this team wore in nineteen sixty, which was a blue,

1296
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 2: silver and white uniform combination because mister Wilson was a

1297
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 2: minority owner of the Lions. And then comes and establishes

1298
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: the bills in the AFL and used similar color schemes

1299
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 2: for the bills in nineteen sixty before the standing red

1300
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 2: buffalo came into vogue. So I think there was a

1301
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 2: little of that at play here. So it doesn't surprise

1302
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 2: me that you know you're indicating other teams.

1303
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to from a distance, you're right,

1304
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 3: it does. Look it's hard to discern that as a

1305
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 3: bill's uniform because there's no red in it. First of all, ye,

1306
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 3: first time, whatever, the closer you get to it, it's

1307
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 3: it's all buffalo, from the city's name on the front

1308
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 3: chest to the charging buffalo, silver charging buffalo on the shoulder,

1309
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 3: and then inside the neck band facing out is Insignia

1310
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 3: Bill's Mafia. So it's it's in the details, which I

1311
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 3: think is kind of cool.

1312
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, more of your phone calls

1313
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 2: when we get back. Ryan and Toronto, Dylan and Tonawanda,

1314
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 2: Hang tight, we'll get to you when we return here.

1315
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 2: On one Bill's Live, presented by Colia Health, It's Buffalo

1316
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 2: Bills Radio. What is your primary concern about Week one

1317
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 2: Bill's Ravens Sunday Night Football eight O three, five fifty

1318
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two fifty Back to the phones we

1319
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 2: go where we do have open lines for you and

1320
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 2: to Ryan in Toronto, what's up.

1321
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 5: Ryany Chris Steph, Welcome to her against regular season Week one,

1322
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 5: My main concerns.

1323
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 13: Is the Bill's second layer.

1324
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 5: To be honest, they got DeAndre Hopkins, Day Flowers, Bateman,

1325
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 5: and we all know what Hoppin has done to the

1326
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 5: Bills when he was when he played in the Arizona.

1327
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 5: I know it's a closed game when Vegas is saying, actually,

1328
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 5: I know you guys talked about it, but I don't

1329
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 5: want that repeat up that catch he made an Arizona

1330
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 5: in Week one on Front of the Night against the Bills

1331
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 5: with Baltimore. Secondly, what's up with the injuries or injuries

1332
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 5: for the Bills in Pactice Like honestly, like they haven't

1333
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 5: even hit up a regular season game yet we had

1334
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 5: we got all these injuries in the defense, Like how

1335
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:49,599
Speaker 5: is it going to be moving forward the regular season now?

1336
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 5: And we have stammeling about trailer bats. I later don't

1337
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 5: test trust that guy at all, to be honest, I

1338
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 5: think he's going to be off the roster and get

1339
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 5: somebody else who's gonna bee hundred percent taking it. Expect

1340
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 5: him in the games on the line. Kind to take

1341
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 5: my call, guys take.

1342
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a valid point, Ryan, because as we learned

1343
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 2: coming out of the Bucks preseason game that the line

1344
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 2: of demarcation on the furthest field goal attempt for Tyler

1345
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 2: Bass coming back from his pelvic soreness and kicking in

1346
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay was forty eight yards. You don't want to

1347
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 2: be in a situation Sunday night where you need a

1348
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 2: fifty five yard field goal and you don't have anybody

1349
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 2: to kick it, right, So we don't know what Tyler

1350
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 2: Bass's condition is right now. All we know is there

1351
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 2: were three veteran kickers that tried out for the team

1352
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,600
Speaker 2: last week, and as we said earlier, that could just

1353
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 2: be exploratory in nature. Know who they might have that's

1354
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 2: out there that they like in case they need to

1355
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 2: call somebody, you know and cross that bridge when they

1356
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 2: get to it, or it could mean something else. So

1357
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 2: we'll left to wait and see.

1358
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's all up in the air. But you're right,

1359
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 3: all your concerns are for real. The injuries, Yeah, it's

1360
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 3: been it's to have been chronic throughout training camp. Nothing

1361
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:08,680
Speaker 3: outside the Max Harriston thing and Dwayne Carter outside of that,

1362
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 3: it was all pretty superficial injuries. But it meant time

1363
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 3: off the field for a lot of guys, a lot

1364
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 3: of guys. That seems different to me. I don't know

1365
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 3: that I'd rather have it the other way or whatever,

1366
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 3: but it almost seemed and it almost seems chronic or

1367
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 3: systemic even. But you can bet that they're pouring over data,

1368
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,480
Speaker 3: the points of data they get from each player individually

1369
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:41,799
Speaker 3: to make sure all these guys stay hydrated and well rested.

1370
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 3: But I'm with you, those all the injuries concerned me

1371
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 3: during training camp, just like it did you. And the

1372
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 3: Bill's secondary, we're we're not gonna know until we see it.

1373
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 3: We're not gonna know until we see it. And even

1374
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 3: now and until Max Harriston gets out there, it's not

1375
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,959
Speaker 3: even the secondary. We thought we were gonna.

1376
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 2: Get to Dylan in Tonawanda next. What's up, Dylan?

1377
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 4: Hey?

1378
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 18: How you guys doing good? Hey? Thanks for taking my call.

1379
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 18: I just wanted to say I am fired up for

1380
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 18: the season. Man, I can't wait. I think our offense

1381
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 18: has been upgraded on the wide receiver aspect, our running

1382
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 18: backs are going to show out once again. We got

1383
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 18: the number one quarterback in the world. I think with

1384
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 18: the defense too, we've upgraded around the line with I'm

1385
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 18: really excited to see what healthy Matt Milano and Terrell

1386
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 18: Bernard will do together the corners. I think we'll see

1387
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 18: what happens when the game starts. And on the optimistic

1388
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 18: aspect of things, I would say that Bishop gets better

1389
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 18: with every rep. I think this is a very good

1390
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 18: game for him to be getting into to start the

1391
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 18: season against the Ravens. I would honestly say I hope

1392
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 18: that him and Wrap form a good connection. I don't

1393
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 18: think we're going to see any thing Tooyer and Heidish,

1394
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 18: but I think I think this is very good for them,

1395
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 18: and I think they I'm very big on the iron

1396
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 18: Sharpen's iron. I think they're gonna do good out there.

1397
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,759
Speaker 18: I think we're all gonna be impressed. And I'll listen

1398
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 18: to to what you guys got to say.

1399
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Dylan, appreciate the call. Yeah, I'll say this.

1400
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 2: I was encouraged by the way Bishop played in the

1401
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 2: preseason finale at Tampa. You know, he broke on the ball,

1402
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 2: effectively broke up a pass filled the run game even

1403
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 2: from when he was lined up deep. So I was

1404
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 2: encouraged by the reps he put in in the Tampa

1405
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 2: Bay game. Now he's got to carry that into the

1406
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 2: regular season in a very very important game here. Right

1407
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 2: off the.

1408
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 3: Rip, Yeah, I would agree with you as well. I

1409
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 3: think Cole Bishop markedly improved every rep he took. He

1410
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 3: was a much different player at the end of last

1411
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 3: season than he was at the beginning, obviously, and you know,

1412
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 3: plus with the classical injury and was out and we

1413
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 3: didn't get a seat two much of him on the field.

1414
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 3: But he got better and better, and the work that

1415
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 3: we've seen him put in is going to pay dividends.

1416
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 3: He's too smart a football player for it not to.

1417
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 3: If he can stay healthy and stay on the field,

1418
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,680
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, we're gonna be very happy with the

1419
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 3: way he plays. But let's face it, going into that

1420
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 3: home opener, we don't know yet.

1421
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's move on to JD and Hamburg. What's up JD?

1422
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, I love the show. I just want to

1423
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 4: say I think that if there's one person who personifies

1424
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 4: what needs to be fixed defensively for the Bills, it

1425
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 4: would be the return of healthy Matt Mullano. And I'm

1426
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 4: really hoping that that genie can get back in that

1427
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 4: bottle because the Bills got dashed pretty substantially last year.

1428
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 4: I thought, and I wanted to get your thoughts on

1429
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 4: the defense and if you think Milano and can be

1430
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 4: as much of a difference maker as he used to be,

1431
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:02,760
Speaker 4: And then I just want to ask you something about

1432
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 4: James Cook. But tell me what you think about Milano's

1433
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 4: potential return the return potential on him.

1434
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, if Matt Mlono stays healthy and on the field,

1435
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:13,719
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be every bit the player

1436
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 3: he's always been. He's he plays with instinct, he sees it.

1437
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 3: He's still got in, you know, the wherewithal to get

1438
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 3: around the field as fast as anybody. Last year in

1439
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 3: the playoff game, he ran down bow Nicks a couple

1440
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 3: of times when bow Nicks thought he had the edge

1441
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 3: and Milana was not having it. So I think Milano's

1442
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 3: still got a lot of good football left in him.

1443
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 3: I think he can still be exactly the all Pro

1444
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 3: caliber linebacker he was when he got hurt his leg

1445
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 3: hurt two years ago. He's just that kind of guy.

1446
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 3: So yes, I believe you're right, Milonald changes a lot

1447
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 3: of things on that defense.

1448
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 2: There were times in training camp where he was the

1449
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 2: best player on the field and it wasn't close. And

1450
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 2: to see that from him after the past two seasons

1451
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 2: he had was certainly encouraging. So hopefully that carries into

1452
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 2: the regular season and throughout it with very little miss time.

1453
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 3: If any What is your question about James Cook?

1454
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 4: Well, here's my thought on James Cook is that I

1455
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 4: really thought that it was a misstep on the coaching

1456
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 4: staffs part to run him only like thirteen times in

1457
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 4: the championship game. And I'm wondering if I don't know

1458
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 4: whether you would even agree with that, but I'm wondering

1459
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 4: if you think that Cook needs to get up to

1460
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 4: like sixty percent or sixty five percent of the of

1461
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 4: the handoffs, because I really think this guy is going

1462
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 4: to be the reason that we put it over the top,

1463
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 4: just as much as Josh Allen. I really am a

1464
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 4: big believer that this guy is one of the top

1465
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 4: few running backs in the league.

1466
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 2: All Right, fair question.

1467
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem giving it to him a bunch,

1468
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 3: you know, I really don't. The more the better. There

1469
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 3: are certain things though that and I don't know, I'm

1470
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 3: not even gonna get specific like pass pro or anything

1471
01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 3: like that. But this coaching staff believes in the other

1472
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 3: guys as well. And Josh said it last year too,

1473
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 3: And I don't think Josh makes this stuff up, and

1474
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 3: I don't think he just says it just because it

1475
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:13,560
Speaker 3: sounds good. Josh said last year that Ty Johnson is

1476
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 3: the best third down back in the NFL, and that

1477
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 3: includes the guys on this team, James Cook included, and Ty.

1478
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 3: Don't forget Ty Johnson had some moments last year in

1479
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 3: the Detroit game that were that were unbelievable. I mean,

1480
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 3: he came out of nowhere last year and was a

1481
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 3: huge part of the win on the road in Detroit

1482
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 3: when they scored like forty eight points.

1483
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 2: The guy can catches for over one hundred yards.

1484
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,559
Speaker 3: So I think just because you and I maybe you

1485
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 3: and me JD like James Cook more than we like

1486
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 3: Ty Johnson or whatever, doesn't mean that the coaching staff

1487
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 3: is that it would make that distinction. They like some

1488
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 3: of the things Ty Johnson's Johnson does and that's why

1489
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 3: they play it.

1490
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 2: And that's fine to have specific roles for the different

1491
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 2: backs on the roster. But as I maintained right after

1492
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 2: that AFC Championship Game loss, there's no reason why James

1493
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 2: Cook shouldn't be on the field in your two minute

1494
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 2: drill at the end of the AFC title game to

1495
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 2: try and go and win the game down three.

1496
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. The only time you can say that is if

1497
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 3: the Bills watch that game and they've got people scouting

1498
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 3: them the game as it goes on. What are they

1499
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 3: doing against us in this? What are they doing against

1500
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,640
Speaker 3: us in that? And the Bills did not like what

1501
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 3: was going on when James Cook was in on the

1502
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 3: field in the two minute or in the personnel they

1503
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 3: were on the field. They knew the Chiefs were going

1504
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 3: to do something they didn't like, so they kept him

1505
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 3: off the field for that reason. That's all you can

1506
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 3: think of.

1507
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 2: I would argue to be more creative. Leave Ty Johnson

1508
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 2: in the backfield. Is your third down back. If he

1509
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 2: needs to pass protect, you know he can do that.

1510
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 2: Put Cook out wide, make him a receiver who utilize

1511
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 2: his skill set in a different way.

1512
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:02,639
Speaker 3: You can't have twelve guys on the face. Yeah, who

1513
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 3: you sitting down?

1514
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 2: I'm sitting a tight end down.

1515
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 3: Well, then that's a pasta that's a past protector too.

1516
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 3: I mean could be that's a problem though. You're right, yeah,

1517
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 3: that's a problem. That's what those are, the kind of

1518
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 3: questions you start to get into and in the flow

1519
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 3: of a game.

1520
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 2: Uh.

1521
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 3: And if the Chiefs come up with something you didn't know,

1522
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 3: you you don't have time to be creative. You know,

1523
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 3: you can't like put in an extra game plan. Now

1524
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 3: it's too late. If they got you, they got you.

1525
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

1526
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:30,679
Speaker 3: And I'm sure the Bills felt confident with Ty Johnson

1527
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 3: out There's no way they didn't. But it did not

1528
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 3: work out. It did not work out.

1529
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 2: And I think the way Cook was playing in that game,

1530
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he was arguably he's as good as the

1531
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 2: most dynamic, was the most dynamic weapon in the game

1532
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 2: from start to finish. Just to not see him out

1533
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 2: there in the last two minutes in any capacity was

1534
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 2: you know, I know a lot of Bills fans were

1535
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 2: disappointed to not see him out there. Let's go to

1536
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 2: David and Tanawanda next. What's up David, gentlemen.

1537
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 19: The answer to that, my answer, I'd said, the defensive

1538
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 19: side as one, we've really seen so many injuries on

1539
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 19: that defensive side, and where we're we're looking like we're

1540
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 19: a little slim on a lot of our positions now

1541
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 19: because there's so many players going down. My biggest thing

1542
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 19: is I think that could possibly be a downfall when

1543
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 19: it comes down to this Ravens team during preseason. I

1544
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 19: understand it was said second stringers and and everything playing

1545
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 19: that game, but I tell you when they were going

1546
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 19: after like that middle with Andres and they they they

1547
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 19: attacked and Andresen a watch in that game where they

1548
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 19: were going completely right by him.

1549
01:23:57,960 --> 01:23:59,639
Speaker 13: Nobody was really able to keep up.

1550
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,759
Speaker 19: And now that we have to go against Derrick Henry

1551
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 19: with this running game, if we end up having an

1552
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 19: issue where we end up having with the Taylor rep

1553
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 19: injury that that happened when he went into dere Derrick Henry,

1554
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 19: could could this possibly jeopardize this defensive side of the

1555
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 19: ball in and basically show these other teams exactly what

1556
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 19: location the field is going to be a target for

1557
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 19: everything to watch for.

1558
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I understand the concern, David, but you're

1559
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 2: also talking about players who are not going to be

1560
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 2: on the field on defense Sunday night, you know, barring

1561
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 2: an injury. You know, Joey and Dreesen isn't the starting

1562
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:50,639
Speaker 2: middle linebacker Jerrel Bernard is, So that concern really isn't

1563
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 2: a valid one because Joe's gonna be on special teams.

1564
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying, And yes, the Bears, I

1565
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 2: don't know about anybody else with the Bears, to me,

1566
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 2: looked like they were all in on game planning through

1567
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,760
Speaker 2: the preseason because Ben Johnson, his first year as a

1568
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 2: head coach, is trying to establish a winning mindset there

1569
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 2: where winning just flat out hasn't happened for the better

1570
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 2: part of the last thirty five years, and he's got

1571
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 2: an agenda, and it was very clear what that agenda

1572
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 2: was in the preseason. We'll see if it carries over

1573
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 2: into the regular season. So I would take the performance

1574
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 2: against Chicago with a grain of AsSalt. Did anybody play

1575
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 2: well in that game for the Bills? Not really, But

1576
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 2: I think you also have to look at the other side.

1577
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,520
Speaker 2: But I get the concerns and the lack of continuity

1578
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 2: and time on task and time and snaps and reps

1579
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 2: playing off one another in the scope of that defense.

1580
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 2: That is a concern, and I understand why because there

1581
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 2: were a lot of guys that missed time through the

1582
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 2: course of the summer.

1583
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 3: Both these offenses with these quarterbacks and coordinators, and you

1584
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 3: know the continuity they've got going forward, Yeah you got

1585
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 3: you know, if you got an and if you have

1586
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 3: a Joe Endriesen on the field, who's your you know,

1587
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 3: third or fourth linebacker in the game, or if you

1588
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 3: have a guy out there who the other team perceives

1589
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 3: as a weakness. Both these offenses can go right at

1590
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 3: the guy, so you will be able to tell who's

1591
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 3: getting targeted when the game progresses. If you see cornerback too,

1592
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 3: if it's Tredavious White or if it's JaMarcus Ingram, whoever

1593
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 3: it is, you're gonna see that guy, the guy he's

1594
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 3: covering get the ball a lot. And it might not

1595
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 3: be the same wide receiver, may be different guys, but

1596
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 3: when you see the same defensive back having to make

1597
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 3: the tackle on the receiver every single play, you're gonna

1598
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 3: know what the other team thinks about that guy. That's

1599
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 3: what you look for. That's what these teams do. So

1600
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 3: when you get an instance like you said where they

1601
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 3: were going after Joe Andriesen, that's what NFL offenses are

1602
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 3: paid to do. That's what exactly what they do. They

1603
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 3: find a matchup they can exploit, and they exploit it

1604
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 3: time after time after time. They force the defense's hand.

1605
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 3: That will probably happen on both sides of the ball

1606
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 3: on Sunday night. The Bills are gonna do it, and

1607
01:26:58,240 --> 01:26:58,640
Speaker 3: so are the.

1608
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 2: Ravens'll take a break here, but when we come back

1609
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 2: with one segment to go, we'll crack open the tweet sheets.

1610
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 2: See what your primary concerns about week one are there?

1611
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 2: Next here on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health,

1612
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, we're gonna crack open

1613
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:29,520
Speaker 2: the tweets sheet here for some final thoughts on primary

1614
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 2: concerns about Week one. Bill's Ravens Sunday Night Football tweet

1615
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 2: sheet brought to you vi Corgan Moving Systems, the official

1616
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 2: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Joey says, I

1617
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 2: still believe that special teams will win a game or

1618
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,719
Speaker 2: three game. Tackling will gang Tackling will be important against

1619
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 2: Derreck Henry in pass rush with consistency and containing Lamar. Yeah,

1620
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:55,879
Speaker 2: those seem like pretty straightforward keys. Mike says, our defense

1621
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:59,679
Speaker 2: is suspected best due to injury and young, unproven talent.

1622
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 2: They have a stacked team and it will take a

1623
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 2: perfect game to beat them. Do you think it's that extreme?

1624
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 3: No, But that's the point that we've been making. This

1625
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 3: is a got a lot of youth that's looking to

1626
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 3: be big contributors Miss Reps. Yeah, and they need they

1627
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 3: need these guys to be real big contributors, and we

1628
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:19,680
Speaker 3: don't know if they can yet. Now, certainly we've seen

1629
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 3: a lot of good stuff from it in training camp

1630
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 3: and they're not going to go out there and fall down.

1631
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 3: But this is you know, they're not playing Sisters of

1632
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 3: the Poor on Sunday Night.

1633
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 2: It's the Baltimore Ravens. So we'll see Jeremy encapsulates everything

1634
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 2: here as usual. Defense. Also, Week one is usually one

1635
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,719
Speaker 2: extreme or the other. We beat the Super Bowl champs

1636
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 2: one year, then lose to a bad Steelers team the

1637
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 2: year prior, nail bier last year, and you don't quite

1638
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 2: know what you're gonna get Week one. A lot of unknowns.

1639
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 3: They don't. Yeah, the Bills don't know a lot about

1640
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 3: themselves either. Do a lot of other teams, right, nobody does.

1641
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 3: And then the starters haven't played a real hard, live

1642
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 3: snap football play since last January. So there's a lot

1643
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 3: of things that got it, you know, a lot of

1644
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 3: bugs that need to be blown out before they hit

1645
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:11,719
Speaker 3: their stride.

1646
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:14,280
Speaker 2: Artie says, if we have to play our number four

1647
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 2: corner as CB one, it will be a long night.

1648
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll have to do that. I think

1649
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 2: Benford's playing this week, but we don't know about CE

1650
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 2: two yet. We'll find out more tomorrow when coach McDermot

1651
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,679
Speaker 2: addresses the media. Nate says, cornerback positions and run defense.

1652
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,639
Speaker 2: They've been thinnic corner because of injury. DMK says getting

1653
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 2: beat over the top repeatedly. That usually doesn't happen with

1654
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 2: this defense. They play top down. That's it for us today.

1655
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 2: Dan Orlovsky in the saddle. Tomorrow we'll see it one.

1656
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:47,599
Speaker 2: We'll also have Tyrrell Shavers
