And I check the 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: weather forecast for the Metal Ends on Sunday, supposed to 25 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: be eighty five degrees and partly cloudy, So probably getting 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: those similar to those conditions right here on Archard Park today, 27 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: Chris Brown and practice.

He's going 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: to join us at one o'clock today. Who's field Yates. 30 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: He is a analyst for ESPN dot com. Field Yates 31 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: does a little bit of a specialty in the area 32 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: of fantasy football, which Steve and I are both neo fights. 33 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: Not even not even that it would imply here's a 34 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: problem with my friend. Here's my view. I get it. 35 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: I've tried the fantasy thing once or twice when it 36 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: first started out back. It's fifteen years ago, I guess probably. 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: And you really gotta put some time. You gotta pay 38 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: attention to some stuff that I'm really not interested in 39 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: paying attention too. I don't really care about, you know, 40 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: what's going on in another division, in another town under 41 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: the third wide receiver, that kind of stuff. You really 42 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: got to pay attention to it. And the problem is too, 43 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: when you start talking about it with somebody, you invariably 44 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: have to talk about your team. And I could not 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: be less interested in somebody else's fantasy team, you know 46 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, I mean that's the problem. I'm 47 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: just the conversation bores me, even if it's my if 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: it's my team, because once you got and it's like, okay, good, 49 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: all right, let's let's let them play. I gotta wait 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: now till till Sunday. Anyway, So I've never gotten into 51 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: it because I'm always covering one or two teams at 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: a time. I don't really don't, you know, back off 53 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: and see. I certainly I'm aware of what's going on 54 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: the league like everybody else is. But man, oh man, yeah, 55 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: I got more. I have other stuff I'm interested in more. 56 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: I think that's it. Yeah, And I get it a 57 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: lot of it's a lot. It's a competitive juice. I 58 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: get it. I get it. It's fun for people. I'm 59 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: not into it, but we're gonna talk to Field Yates 60 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: about it. Two things about Fantasy Number one, it when 61 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: I dabbled in it twenty years ago or whatever it 62 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: forced you to it. You said, pay attention and stuff 63 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: that you're not used to doing. Root for things that 64 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: I wasn't comfortable rooting. Right number two, And listen to 65 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: people talk about their fantasy team. And you're a golfer, 66 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: do you ever have The friend of mine has this. 67 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: I think it's an accurate statement. There's nothing worse, he says, 68 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: than listening to some guy, not a professional PG eight 69 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: golfer or an accomplished golfer, but some guy talk about 70 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: his round of golf and taking you a shot by 71 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: shot through a hole. Right, there's nothing worth Oh, I 72 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: hit the I smoked a drive two hundred and thirty 73 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: eight yards down the middle, and then I scaled my 74 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: five iron two within about thirty five feet and then 75 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: I sank the But and you're sitting there, You ever 76 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: getting the other end of that conversation, You're like, what, 77 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: And that's what it's like when people talk about their 78 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: own fantasy I don't care. Here's and next time I 79 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: do this to you, you'll understand why you don't do 80 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: it when you when when you start talking about somebody, 81 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: when somebody starts telling you that stuff. It's like asking 82 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: what they did on eighteen. Then when they tell you eighteen, 83 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: then they have no place to go, right, So you 84 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, right, Yeah, Okay, that drive 85 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: you crazy. Do people sit around your golf club afterwards? 86 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: And I get a part of it is, you know, 87 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: the camaraderie and talking to your friends, but don't there 88 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: are guys who want to talk about their round. Yeah, 89 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: here's the thing in eighty seven. They want to tell 90 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: you about eighty six, eighty seventy shots. So I have 91 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: a regular, you know group that you play. Yeah, yeah, 92 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: And it's different when you play with the guys because 93 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: they don't. You don't have to tell them what you did. 94 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: They see you just pick the highlights and low lights 95 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: and you and you bust each other chops laugh right, 96 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: then you laugh at each other, have a few, and 97 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: that's it. That's that's how it should be. You can't 98 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: really bring somebody in from the outside and do that. 99 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: You can't start telling them the whole ster. All you 100 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: can do is just tell them episode here, an episode there, 101 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: and that's what you do. You don't tell them the 102 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: whole round, just say way to hear what happened to us. 103 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: He was that I'm boop done. You don't have to 104 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: go on, and then further down they're then three holes late. 105 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, you want to stop the woods stop stop 106 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: stop right right. And that's what it's like when people 107 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: talk about their fantasy team. Oh well I had I 108 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: had This guy is QB two and I should have 109 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: put him in and I had a chance to pick 110 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: up this guy off waivers, and I'm like, oh care, bro, 111 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: I don't care. I got problems with That's not We're 112 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: gonna talk with field Yates about today. We're gonna talk 113 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: to him about the NFL and get maybe some tips 114 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: for a week two of your fantasy football season. He's 115 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: coming by at one o'clock today after practice. We anticipated 116 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: be about one thirty one five. John Brown, Now he'd 117 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: be a good fantasy pickup. John Brown was him up. Yeah, 118 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: they go ahead touchdown fourth quarter of Sunday's game in 119 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: New York.

And 126 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: so we got a busy schedule. I'm looking forward today, 127 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: so also ready to turn the page to the New 128 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: York Giants. And speaking of which, this is Wednesday, So 129 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: the players are back. They're gonna start practicing. Our guy 130 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: isn't practice. Brownie Chris Brown Bills inside or Buffalo Bills 131 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: dot Com on the Sideline's outdoors at practice today. Hello Chris, 132 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: good afternoon. Good to have you with us year, Good 133 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: to be with you guys. Sorry about the end. It 134 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: looked like you're working hard. What are you doing, man, 135 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm just taking attendance, trying to take attendance to get 136 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: as many guys can't counted up before you come to 137 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: me as possible. Well, I feel like interrupted. Something we 138 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: heard from Sean McDermott that Lorenzo's not gonna have us 139 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: taking a day off. John Brown's taking a day off, 140 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: and Secy's taking a day off, and all these guys 141 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: they call veteran days. Is probably probably the GPS stuff 142 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: they do. Uh, they check on their heart rate and 143 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: stuff throughout the week, and these guys are due for 144 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: a day off because of their exertion and their age 145 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: and any other factors they put in, right, I mean, 146 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: so really, the only guys that we're looking at that 147 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: are hurt are Andre Roberts and tarn Johnson. Correct right. 148 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: And Tyler Croft's going to be limited again today as 149 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: he kind of works his way back into game shape 150 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: coming back from the spring foot surgery. He's done a 151 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: lot of stuff, we just haven't seen him do a 152 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: ton at full speed. So whether he makes that jump 153 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: some point during this week from a limited participant to 154 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: a full participant I think remains to be seen. But 155 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: coach last week said sometime in the first few games here, 156 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: so you gotta believe that it wasn't last week. So 157 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: it's either probably this week or maybe next week unless 158 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: he incurs some kind of setback. I think one of 159 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: the things you can look for as well is maybe 160 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: that he gets up and, you know, we come back 161 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: tomorrow after a hard day today, he feels great and 162 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: they say, okay, you're releasing. Then we find out tomorrow 163 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: he's full go, and then that throws a pebble into 164 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: the New York Giants preparation about are they going to 165 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: use this guy and that you know they get some 166 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: sort of competitive advantage about it. Yeah, I suppose that's possible, 167 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: you know. And even if he is up on Sunday, 168 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that they would give him like a 169 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: full workload fifty sixty snaps. I think they'll rotate those 170 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: two rookies in a healthy amount. Probably Dawson Knox is 171 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: the closest thing to what Tyler Croft is from a 172 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: pass catching respective. Not to say that Tommy Sweeny couldn't 173 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: do it, but I think probably Croft and Knox are 174 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: the two best runners route runners, shall we say, in 175 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: the group. Yeah. But the point of that is the 176 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: Giants have got to be sitting there thinging. Okay, they 177 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: went twenty two personnel a ton last week. Now they 178 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: got this another tight end. What are we gonna be 179 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: looking at it? It's just one of those things where 180 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: if you can alter their preparation, it may give you 181 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: an edge on them not spending enough time on what 182 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,599 Speaker 1: you're really gonna do. Yeah, And I don't even know 183 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: if they're gonna get that far down the ladder this 184 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: week because their defense looked out awful, especially on the 185 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: back end against the Cowboys. I mean, busted coverage is 186 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: like I have never seen before, especially with a secondary 187 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: that as a veteran player in Antoine, but they at 188 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: free safety, and he was one of the most guilty 189 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: parties in terms of the back seven. Him and the 190 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: defensive captain alec Ogletree, the linebacker. Those two guys were 191 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: off the screen and off the map and off the 192 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: reservation maybe more than any buddy in that whole group. 193 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: You understand if a rookie first round pick like DeAndre 194 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: Baker has a couple of miscues, first career action and 195 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: a regular season setting, and they rotated him and out 196 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: with him in and out with Antonio Hamilton, who's a 197 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: fourth year player. But Antonio Hamilton couldn't tackle, DeAndre Baker 198 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: couldn't cover, and Antoine Bethet and alec Ogletree couldn't get 199 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: people lined up or at least play the same defensive 200 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: call that maybe the rest of the guys were playing. 201 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: And that's why it was such a such a fire 202 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: drill on defense for the Giants last week. Unfortunately, though 203 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 1: for me, Brownie, I've seen teams you go through that 204 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: It's easy to fix that up. All you gotta do 205 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: is talk louder. Well, yeah, I mean, you would think 206 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: that two veterans like Bethet and Ogletree would be able 207 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: to get all those ducks in a row this week. 208 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: But if I'm the Bills, I'm testing that early and often, 209 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: so it wouldn't shock me if they come out and 210 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: start chucking it all over the place again like they 211 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: did last week, but maybe with a different personnel grouping. 212 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: Why don't just spread those corners thin which don't run 213 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: deep for the Giants to begin with, because the only 214 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: guy that really can held his own last week was 215 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: Generus Jenkins, who was their high free agent signing a 216 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. That was the only guy that 217 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: that played consistently, quite frankly. So if I'm if I'm 218 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: the Bills and I'm briant able not to tell him 219 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: what to do, he certainly knows how to do his job. 220 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: But man, I throw four white out there in a heartbeat, 221 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: spread that cornerpack depth thin, see if they can handle it. 222 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot Com at Bill's 223 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: practice on the side end of the Bills practice. So 224 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: let's ask you about the Bills and start with if 225 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: you want to have four white out, you need a 226 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: quarterback to throw it to him. Yeah. I think it's 227 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting week of practice and an interesting 228 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: game for John Shallen Chris. He led the fourth quarter 229 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: game winning comeback obviously last Sunday, but he has a 230 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: role to play in those four first half turnovers and 231 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's looking to, you know, nip that in 232 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: the bud before that continues, right, Yeah, of course, you 233 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: never want to be minus three in a game in 234 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: the turnover margin. And I think the last time they 235 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: did that in one was nineteen ninety seven, so we're 236 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: talking twenty two years here. They I think they realize, 237 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: Josh Chief among everybody, how fortunate they were to pull 238 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: that game out and get a W. So yeah, I mean, 239 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: and ball security, you know, has been emphasized, over emphasized 240 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: time and time and time again by coach McDermott. He's 241 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 1: actually got on a pedestal in the locker room a 242 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: football that is painted gold and it says respect the football. 243 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: And even after Friday's practice here last week, he said 244 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: the two most important things that we have to be 245 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: mindful of our number one the football and respecting it 246 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: and number two are teammates, and so you think about 247 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: where he has put the thing on the priority list 248 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: to see to see the carelessness that happened. And granted 249 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: some of it was happenstance. A couple of tip balls 250 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: end up being intercepted. That's gonna happen through the course 251 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: of any NFL regular season. But the fumbles, I think 252 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: are what really stuck in his cross. So you better 253 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: believe that when they go through station drills this week 254 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: and go over fundamentals, I'll guarantee you that they're going 255 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: to have that two man drill where they have one 256 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: person carrying the ball applying five points of pressure and 257 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: the other guy trying to punch at it and knock 258 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: it out. Chris, let me ask you a little bit 259 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: about the Buffalo offensive line, which you know you get 260 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: mixed opinions on this week. I thought, overall, they were 261 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: pretty good against the Jets last week, and I'd look 262 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: for more of the same. Allowing just one sack on 263 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: the game, there were a couple of breakdowns. Dion Dawkins 264 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: struggled a little bit against some very talented Jets defensive line, 265 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: but to see Mitch Morse playing for the first time, 266 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: to see Mitch moose out in front, running as well 267 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: as he did and moving around like he did, it 268 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,599 Speaker 1: was a revelation to me. I think there could be 269 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: some good things coming from this Buffalo offensive line. Yeah, 270 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we know to a certain extent 271 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 1: that when the Bills signed Mitch Morse, the book on 272 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: him was mobility is a major part of his game, 273 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: and credit Brian Dabele for taking advantage of that and 274 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: using that in the game plan last week. I think 275 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: when it came to driving that Jets defensive line off 276 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: the ball and being a road greater line in the 277 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: run game, they struggled at times, but when they used 278 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: some of those pulling guards, pulling center plays, pulling tackle 279 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: plays to get out on the edges, they were very, 280 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: very effective. And so I think what coach Dabele has 281 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: to do. And granted, you're not going to go against 282 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: a defensive line quite that stout every week, but if 283 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: there's one thing that this Giant's defensive line is known for, 284 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: it's for standing in and grinding well. And they did 285 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: okay last week against Dallas with Ezekiel Elliott not great 286 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: they did. Okay, I think where you can get this 287 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: defensive line is out on the edge, and so that 288 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: might fall into Buffalo's strengths. Might play into buffalo strengths 289 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: very well this week, to get out on the edges. 290 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: Because if there's one thing, the Giants defense is not 291 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: as a whole, especially in the front seven, they are 292 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: not fast. So if you feel like you can outflank them, 293 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: especially with some misdirection, I'm all for that, Go ahead 294 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: and do that because you got you got offensive lineman 295 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: this year that can get out in front of the 296 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: ball carriers and get you chunk plays. There was some 297 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: attention given to Tie and Seki coming in late in 298 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: the game for Cody Ford at right tackle. Cody, it 299 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: was part of the script, as Sean McDermott said, to 300 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: do that. Nevertheless, it's a little bit unusual, and there's 301 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: some people that really thought Cody Ford struggled a little 302 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: bit like he did in this game that he did 303 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: not struggle with in the preseason. What do you make 304 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: of that. It's called the regular season defense. The scheming 305 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: is just going to be more complex, and so you've 306 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: got to be quick on your toes in terms of 307 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: processing what's coming at you, and you know that John Feliziano, 308 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: a guy who's a veteran player who has played center 309 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: and guard, is communicating that stuff down the line to Cody. 310 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: Whether he's saying switch switch, switch, switch switch, you know, 311 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: on a stunt or a twist of some kind, or 312 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: whether he's saying double and go, you know, like you 313 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: can go and get your man for your one on 314 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: one matchup later in the play. He's communicating that all 315 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: to him, but seeing it all at regular season speed 316 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: requires an adjustment often times for a lot of rookies, 317 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: and I think that's what Cody Ford was going through 318 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: last week. We gotta remember, these guys are a lot 319 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: of rookies, got a lot of playing time last week. 320 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: They're not going to be perfect on everything. It's gonna 321 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: be a learning process, you know. I don't think I 322 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: don't think he was awful and I don't think he 323 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: was outstanding. He was somewhere in between. Yeah. Yeah. And 324 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: one of the other places where they played a rookie 325 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: was Devin Singletary and the running backs. Frank Gore started 326 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: the game maybe in the backfield, but Devin Singletary, he 327 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: played seventy percent of the offensive snaps. I don't think 328 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: anybody saw that coming. What do you make of the 329 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: running backs and how they're rotating him, Yeah, I mean, 330 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: I think that it demonstrates the level of trust that 331 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: they have in a rookie like Devon, who has got 332 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: a lot to handle if he's going to be out 333 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: there all three downs, and he was out there from 334 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: the very beginning of the game last week on those 335 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: first two or three series before Frank came in and 336 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: actually got the first carry of the game. So to 337 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: see him out there early I think is a good 338 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: sign as far as how much playing time he's going 339 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: to get going forward. And then in the second half 340 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: to spark the offense the way he did with some 341 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: chunk play runs, I think is getting get him some 342 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: more playing time this week. All the focus this week 343 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: by the broadcasters on TV is going to be about 344 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley, and deservedly so I'm gonna be interested to 345 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: see if Singletary can kind of match some of that effectiveness. 346 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Devin Singletary is going to be 347 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: running away for sixty yard touchdowns like se Quon Barkley. 348 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: Ken that's not in his arsenal because he runs a 349 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: four to six six forty. But in terms of getting 350 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: out of tight areas and plays that look like they're 351 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: gonna go for a two yard loss and turning it 352 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: into a three or four yard game, that's Singletary's bread 353 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: and butter, and I think he's gonna be able to 354 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: do that this week. All right, Chris, So between those 355 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: running macks, Gore and Singletary, which one is the starter 356 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: and which one is the featured back? Yeah? Yeah, Well 357 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna try to get me in trouble now. Um. 358 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: I love the way to put me on the spot there, murf. 359 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I love the way Sean McDermott hand 360 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: Kit an hour ago at his News contowns. I love 361 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: the way he sort of deflected that. And I don't 362 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: really know if that he's even answerable, to be honest 363 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: with you, I don't, I don't get right. I think 364 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: if you want to go based on time on the field, 365 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Devin Singletary going forward. And I 366 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: see Frank Gore as a guy that's going to be 367 00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: mixed in utilized on some key downs where where you 368 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: need a veteran to come through for you and Frank 369 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: or is that in several times over and so I 370 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: think there could be scenarios that come up where Frank 371 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: is just a better fit based on experience. In a 372 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: crunch time situation, they're gonna say, yeah, so twenty get 373 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: on the field and let's close this thing out. Four 374 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: minute drill at the end of the game. You know 375 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: you got a short yardage situation. That guy's gonna be 376 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: in a game. Yea. So it doesn't mean that Frank's 377 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: level of importance on this roster is not there. It 378 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: absolutely is. But I think the dynamic skill set and 379 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: vision that Devin Singletary can offer on the field where 380 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: he can make a bad play into a good play, 381 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: is invaluable and I think that's going to get him 382 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: on the field more often than not. Well, one of 383 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: the things that came out of this last game against 384 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: the Jets and moving forward is going to be the 385 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 1: Bill's defense. The only thing that happened was Taran Johnson 386 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: came out with a with a groin injury. Other than that, 387 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: they are what they were advertised. They were a top 388 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: five defense two hundred and twenty three yards allowed. They 389 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: kept the Jets to eight points. Offensively, they seemed better 390 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: than advertising, better than the really right exactly? Um that 391 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: that what about the secondary with Taran Johnson's absence. Yeah, 392 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: so sirran Neil came in. Uh, it's a position that 393 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: he's been learning since the spring, and I don't I 394 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: don't think he hurt them all that much. Uh. Now, granted, 395 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: the pass rush that the that the Bills had going 396 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: against the Jets last week was pretty darn effective and 397 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: that certainly helped the guys on the back end. Um, 398 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: with an extra week, like, the Giants have to perhaps 399 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: game plan for what they saw from sirand Neil and 400 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: the snaps that he did get on defense. Um, it'll 401 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: be interesting to see what they throw at him. But 402 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: here's the thing. The Giants slot receiver is in concussion protocol, 403 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd. So do they go with a game plan 404 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: that features their slot receiver because they're talking If Sterling 405 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: Shepherd can't go, the receiver that's going to step into 406 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: that role will be Russell Shepherd. On the Giants depth chart, 407 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: do you give him do you make him a focal 408 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: point of your offensive game plan? Because you know, it 409 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: stands to reason that the Bills are going to have 410 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: a backup playing the nickel, Well, you're assuming it's gonna be, 411 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: Siran Neil, And I think coach McDermott left the door 412 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: open today because it could be someone like Kevin Johnson 413 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: who has experienced as a slot corner in this league. Heck, 414 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: in some situations, it could even be Kurt Coleman, because 415 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: we saw the way the Bills used Raphael Bush, the 416 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: team's third safety, as a nickel last year when Terren 417 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: Johnson went down. So I think there are some options 418 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: at play there that could be predicated on who the 419 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Giants ultimately line up in that slot receiver position. So 420 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of guesswork for both teams here, 421 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: quite frankly, as far as game planning goes, just because 422 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: of the uncertainty as to who the opponent's gonna line 423 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: up in that spot on offense and defense, respectively. Yeah, 424 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: and that actually gets me to the final question I 425 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: have for you, Chris, and it's sort of an overview 426 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: of the game. And look, we only have the one 427 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: game's worth of evidence on who the Bills might be 428 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: the Giants might be, and based on that, it's easy 429 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: to say, well, the Bills are a better team than 430 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: the Giants. They certainly look like it, but it's hard 431 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: to imagine the Giants defense being that inept again the 432 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: second consecutive week, isn't it? Or is it? Yeah? You 433 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: would think so. I would say the one major concern 434 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: if you're the Giants, that I do not think is 435 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: fixable in the short term is their pass rush. I mean, 436 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: it was sorely absent last week. I mean, you go 437 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: watch the tape of the game last week, there were 438 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: about a handful of plays where Dak Prescott could have 439 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: opened up a folding chair, cracked open a six pack 440 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: and had a picnic. I mean, there was just way 441 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: too much time for that guy back there. I mean 442 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: he had a chance to survey the whole field right 443 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: to left and then left to right again before he 444 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: threw the ball. That didn't happen one or two times, Guys, 445 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: that happened six to eight times in last week's game. 446 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: If you give Josh Allen or any NFL quarterback for 447 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: that matter, five six seven seconds, there's no dB in 448 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: the league that can cover people for that long on 449 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: a good defense, even like the Bills. So they've got 450 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 1: to figure out how to dial up pressure by sending 451 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: extra people. I'm talking about the Giants now because they're 452 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: front three. They're big, stout players that are great against 453 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: the run. But even they're outside linebackers are not terribly 454 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: quick off the edge. They're gonna have to come up 455 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: and devise some clever blitz schemes that are probably gonna 456 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: have to involve defensive backs if they're gonna get to 457 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and at least move him off his spot. 458 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: So the Bills will probably see the same things that 459 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: we do, maybe with some more detail. But how do 460 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: you attack that if you're Brian Dable. Last week they 461 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: came out in the twenty two personnel with two backs, 462 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: two tight ends and then broke the formation and spread 463 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: it all over the field, And you said, maybe they'll 464 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: go deep into the secondary, put four wides out there 465 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: and maybe make them go deep into their depth of 466 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: secondary or is a combination. What are they gonna do 467 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: early on if they got a team that can't rush 468 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: the passer and they got a secondary that that blows 469 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: some coverages, Yeah, I'd be thrown again. Yeah I'd be 470 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: thrown again. Yeah, I don't care what personnel grouping Brian 471 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: Dabele wants to use, but I'd come out thrown again, 472 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: spread the field and test the depth of this secondary 473 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: because to me, it's quite frankly, guys, it's just not there. 474 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: It's it might even be worse than the jet secondary, 475 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: which Brian Dabele decided to test in a different way. 476 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: He went heavy personnel to keep base base personnel defensively 477 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: on the field because he thought that they could win 478 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: with matchups there. This week. I'd be in. I mean, 479 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: I don't, it doesn't. It may not matter what personnel 480 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: grouping you throw out there. All you may have to 481 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: do is just simply spread the field. And I like 482 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: the Bills matchups when you get to the third and 483 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: fourth cover assignment, I really do. Whether it's a linebacker, 484 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: whether it's a safety, whether it's a fourth corner, The 485 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: Bills are better across the board in my estimation. They 486 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: may do that a couple of different ways than too. 487 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: They may get they may go heavy and they may 488 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: go light both. In the first series, you know, they 489 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: might start using personnel combinations quick and early and often. Yeah, 490 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: the Giants, the Giants just are I think they're outmanned, 491 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: quite frankly, Bills offense compared to Giants defense in terms 492 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: of quality of personnel and in terms of depth of personnel. 493 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: So that should spell good things for the Bills offense 494 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: this week. Thanks Chris, you got it, guys, all right, 495 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: Bernie Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com. 496 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: On the practice field right around the corner here where 497 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: the Bills are getting set for the New York Giants. 498 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: And yeah, I get all of that, and I agreed 499 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: with Chris Steve. The Giants do look out, man, but 500 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: it's based on one game. And I'm reluctant to say 501 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: this is who the Giants are, and I'm equally as 502 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: reluctant to say this who the Buffalo Bills are. I 503 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: think I think this is a time when for us 504 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: out here it's fun for us to conjecture and say 505 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: what they should they do, their depth of their secondary, 506 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: their pass rush and all this stuff. The simple fact 507 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: of the matter is when when they're putting together a 508 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: game plan, in the Bills side of it and the 509 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: Giant side of it as well, you're looking at your 510 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: own people the most. You're saying, what have we got, 511 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: who's healthy? Who does some things really well? And does 512 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: those think do the things that we do really well 513 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: mesh with the weaknesses of the team that we're going 514 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: to play. So it's real still really about your guys 515 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: and putting them out there in a spot where you 516 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: think they can win and that, and so we have 517 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: yet to think what. No, we'll never know what the 518 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: Bills coaches really think until they show us on Sundays. Right. Hey, 519 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: our thanks to Chris Brown for joining us from practice. 520 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: Field Yates from ESPN is going to be with us 521 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: at one o'clock.

Here's a question on Twitter, 536 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: what's the most encouraging part of the Bills offense as 537 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: they head into Week two? We know the defense is great, 538 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: but on the offensive side of the ball the problem 539 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: last year? What did you see last Sunday against the 540 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: Jets that encouraged you this Sunday and into the future, 541 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: the most encouraging part of the Bills offense as they 542 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: had into the future. The Twitter poles went up for 543 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: just a little bit six hundred forty votes in so far, 544 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: and it's fairly close. Forty percent of you say it 545 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: is the play of rookie running back Devin Singletary that 546 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: you find most encouraging. Thirty three percent of you say 547 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: it is the play of the offensive line, twenty three 548 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: percent say it is the play of our guests coming 549 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: up after practice Brown, four percent of something else in mind. 550 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: I would vote offensive line, and I'll tell you why, Steve. 551 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: I knew John Brown was going to be pretty good. 552 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: I knew Devin Singletary had the potentially be pretty good. 553 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect from the Buffalo offensive line, 554 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: and what I saw Sunday encourages me. To me, that's 555 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: the most encouraging part of the Bill's offense moving forward, 556 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: the offensive line. But I'm willing to listen to arguments 557 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: or any of those, right. I think Devin Singletary was 558 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise, obviously, like a lot of people did. 559 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: I think John Brown, we knew you. You can say 560 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: what you want. You've been trumpeting John Brown since last February, 561 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: since February, since they since when they signed him. Before 562 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: they signed him, I got cut of a signing board 563 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: and there you go. So you're right. John Brown was 564 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: a more known commodity. He's a veteran in the national 565 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: football Like Devin Singletary, we didn't know, and certainly we 566 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: saw some flashes, some pretty good stuff in the preseason. 567 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: But still, he's a rookie running back, and and you know, 568 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: it's not unusual for a rookie running back to play well. 569 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: But he was a surprise, I gotta tell you. But 570 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: this offensive line, as much focuses they put in on 571 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: the off season, as much angst as there has been 572 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: through the preseason, because of the superficial injuries that they 573 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: got that didn't allow them to get together and play 574 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: all at once. That offensive line played pretty well, and 575 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: I think going forward, I'm looking for them to get 576 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: even better. And I think so I would say the 577 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: most encouraging thing would be offensive line listeners. Vieus. Let's 578 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: know what you think. What's to you. What's the most 579 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: encouraging thing about the Buffalo offense as they head into 580 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: Week two? Give us a call eight oh three five 581 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: fifty twelve three one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. 582 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: Those lines are open right now.

We're coming to you alive from the 589 00:28:49,480 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes closed. Welcome Back, 590 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: One does Live John Murphy's Team Pasterer in our one 591 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Studio Wednesday, Week two of the Giants. The Bills 592 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: are going back to MetLife Stadium to play the Giants 593 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: this week, and that's kind of the focus of our 594 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: discussion today. The most encouraging part of the Buffalo offense 595 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: as they head into Week two, What do you like 596 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: John Brown's played, Devin Singletary's played, the play of the 597 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: offensive line. We left Josh Allen out of this Twitter 598 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: poll because he had four turnovers, right, he was involved 599 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: in four turnovers. But if you want to say that 600 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: was encouraging his fourth quarter rebound, I'm good with that. 601 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: I'll listen to that. I might not disagree with that. 602 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: We're getting descended on by social media here, so we 603 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff on the tweet sheet already. 604 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: Most encouraging part of the Bills offense headed in a 605 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: Week two from Jeffrey says the old line was a 606 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: priority one A for being in the off season. We 607 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: could not properly assess any other part of the offense 608 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: last year because a poor offensive line play and it 609 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: affects everything else. Fixing it is the basis for any 610 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: real chance to be better. It looks like all those 611 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: efforts to fix it have worked, and I would agree 612 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,719 Speaker 1: with that. That's where I'm sitting right now, right right 613 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: on the lap of Jeffrey Twitter. Well, here's what I 614 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: would say to you and Jeffrey, pump the brakes a 615 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: little bit one game. Jeffrey finishes his tweet saying, it 616 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: looks like all those efforts to fix it have worked. Well, 617 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: looks like it. It looked pretty good. It looked pretty good. 618 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: I think this past a lot of football to play nobody. Yes, yes, 619 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: in different defense, and that was a pretty good defense, 620 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: a much better defense than what the Bills will face 621 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: this week. But I just I'm not quite there yet. 622 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: I think that was the most encouraging part for me. 623 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: What the offensive line did, how they played opening holes 624 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: in the run game, being athletic and active and protecting 625 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: Josh Allen only sacked once in the game. There were 626 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: It was not perfect. By the way, I will say this, though, 627 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: it does make you go, yeah, I don't stink. Yeah 628 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: you know yeah, so that yeah. Another one from the 629 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: tweet sheet. By the way, the tweet sheet is brought 630 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of 631 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. From Sipping the kool Aid the most 632 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: encouraging part of the Bills offense going into Week two, 633 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: Sipping the kool aid says, all our great choices, but 634 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: I voted other and their ear comes. I think Josh 635 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: Hanlon completing sixty five percent of his passes, having the 636 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: ability to lead his team back from sixteen to nothing 637 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: is the most encouraging thing for me going into week two. 638 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: Clean up the turnovers, and I believe we have a 639 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: potent offense moving forward. Needs to be said about. And 640 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: he's right sipping the kool aid. He or she is right. 641 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: Sixty five percent completion percentage is big for a guy 642 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: who was fifty two percent last year. But you spent 643 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: your early morning coffee hours in here this morning looking 644 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: at some more video of the Bill's jets and raving 645 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: blurting out explod It was about how good he was 646 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: throwing the ball early on. He was, he was carving, was, 647 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: he was throwing great, He was throwing strikes, he was 648 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: throwing fastballs. The second in the middle. The second turnover 649 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: was on the fourth down conversion after he got stuffed 650 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: on a quarterback sneak. Certainly you can, and I would 651 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: complain about you know, I know it. He's six five, 652 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: he's two forties big. But you're running, you're banging your 653 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: head right into what the Jets do best or right 654 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: down inside on their defense. Don't don't. Plus the fact 655 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: don't just do it a quarterback sneak like that, Plus 656 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: the fact that, man, you get your quarterback in there. 657 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: And I watched the replay that the Jet guys were 658 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: trying to give him the business while they were down 659 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: there right now. I mean they were piling on, pulling, grabbing. 660 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to get the guy nicked 661 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: on a stupid fourth and one or third and one. 662 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: You know, um, hand the football off, spread him out, 663 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: give him some yeah, third down and the fourth down two, 664 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean, put him in shotgun or something, don't you know. 665 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: And I'm not treating him like he's you know, made 666 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: out of made out of you know, paper machee. But man, 667 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: oh man, you got to protect the guy. And that 668 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: fourth down. The other turnover was the was the botched 669 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: exchange on the fourth and short. So uh, all of 670 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: that stuff. They were minus four on the turnover ratio 671 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: until the final play the game in a meaningless lateral fumble. 672 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: Rooski so to come back and win that game, yeah, 673 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: it was big. And I'm telling you, early in that game, 674 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: he was carving those guys up. He was throwing it well, 675 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: made a couple of pinpoint passes, and you know a 676 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: lot of people say, hey, the botched pass to Cole 677 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: Beasley was his fault. Well that's fifty fifty at best. 678 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: You gotta pick that up. So, I mean, you got 679 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: to catch the ball. But man, I was like, wow, 680 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't. They were really playing good offensively up into 681 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: that point and throw it was eighteen straight passes, So 682 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm I'm really encouraged by Josh's play, really 683 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: encouraged by it. But everything else is because all this 684 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: happens because the old Lion played well. I will listen 685 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: to arguments that and sipping the kool aid made a good, 686 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: strong argument about why Josh Allen is the most encouraging 687 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: thing about the offense. Certainly going into that game last week, 688 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 1: going into the season, he was the critical piece, right 689 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: the central question, how is Josh going to be? Well 690 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: he was okay, and he turned it over four times, 691 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: and we can say that he was okay. You got 692 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: to fix those turnovers. That's the first thing we really 693 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: addressed with Chris Brown out on the practice field. And 694 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, and I mean I think as a Bills fan, 695 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: you know how Josh is and I'm certain that was 696 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: and it was a fumble. It's Chris is absolutely right 697 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: that the interceptions were a little fluky, but being careless 698 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: with the football, coughing it up, you know. And it's 699 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: a day Ball said Monday when he talked to the media. 700 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: We had to sound about yesterday. Two hands on the ball. 701 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: You can't have that happen on a center quarterback exchange. 702 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: Fix those two issues, and all of a sudden, it's 703 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: two interceptions. It's different the interceptions. It's a different game. Now, 704 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: there were some other One interception got brought back because 705 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: of a penalty and another one should have been intercepted. 706 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: So he's got that to clean up, and those should 707 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: worry more than the tipped pass up in the air, 708 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: up for grabs kind of thing, you know. I mean, 709 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: So he's still got a lot of things to clean up. 710 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: But when the ball comes out of his hand on time, 711 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: those underneath throws, they've got that, And that sixty five 712 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: percent complete percentage kind of is right down that what 713 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: you're looking at when you see that. So I'm I'm 714 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: all about people who want to argue that Josh is 715 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: the most encouraging thing for me. I'm sticking right up 716 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: with the big guys. What's your most encourage You're the 717 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: most encouraging thing to you about the Buffalo offense head 718 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: in the Week two Mark and Buffalo on the line 719 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: with us says some thoughts Marco ahead, you're on the air, 720 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: Hi guys. Hi, Hey, Steve just touched a minute ago 721 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: on the one problem I had with the whole game 722 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: most of all, was when the third down play when 723 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: we brought everybody the line of scrimmage and we tried 724 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: to smash mouth it. Now look like we're going to 725 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: try and do the same thing on fourth down turn 726 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 1: the ball over, didn't make it. And then the same 727 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: situation when we got the safety against us, we brought 728 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: everybody the line of scrimmage and we I mean exactly 729 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: what they're jests. We're looking for and hoping we would 730 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: do smash that ball right into the line and they 731 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: were going to attack us and try to catch us 732 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: in the indi end zone, and quote unquote they did. 733 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: They got the points. But I just absolutely hate when 734 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: coaches get into that macho attitude and on third down 735 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: and short fourth down and short, and they don't spread 736 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: the field out, and they bring everybody to the line 737 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and say, okay, original model, a model, you're 738 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: just making it tougher on yourself and our line has 739 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: not proven that they can just do that. Not yet. Well, Mark, 740 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: you make a good point. I will say this, they 741 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: want to see if they can do it. Number one, 742 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: Number two. I don't think it's a macho attitude. I 743 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: think they're playing percentages, like we got a better percentage 744 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: chance of converting this third and one, fourth and one 745 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 1: by loading up and getting a couple of good blocks 746 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: and diving forward for a first down. I don't think 747 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: it's I don't think it's a macho thing. I think 748 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: it's a percentage thing. Yeah, I mean, I get it, 749 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: and I've never been one no matter what I think. 750 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: It sounds like I just did it a minute ago. 751 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: I really didn't want to go down that road. I 752 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: get the play selection. They do things for a reason, 753 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: and I've never been one to say, hey, they shouldn't 754 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: have done this. Certainly we can sit here three days 755 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: after the fact and say, wow, that was you should 756 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: have done well. Obviously they should have done something different. 757 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: They should have got the exchange right. And you don't 758 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: even know if if they'd have gotten the exchange right, 759 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: they might have snapped one off for a touchdown. It 760 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: might have been a play action passed. We don't know, 761 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: but it never got to that point. So yeah, play selection. 762 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: You can say, hey, when a quarterback sneak doesn't work, 763 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: certainly it's easy to throw darts at that. But and 764 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: I'm not here to do that, but it certainly I 765 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: hate it because of the way it looked after it 766 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,760 Speaker 1: went that. You know, Josh ended up at the bottom 767 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: of a pile of six thousand pounds of bodies, and 768 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: he's the guy you gotta have, so I know he's 769 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: a big, strong guy. I loved the play selection they 770 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: had later in the in the game. Murph and I 771 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: spoke about it yesterday, that third and two where they 772 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: went student body left and Josh just tucked it under 773 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: his arm, let's go, and he walked out. I think 774 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: I remember he just walked out of bounds after an 775 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: eight yard game. They had no shot of stopping that, 776 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: and I think, you think about it, that might have 777 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: been set up by the fact that they stoned them 778 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: on the quarterback sneak early in the game and the 779 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: fourth and short where they watched the center snap. You know, 780 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: they might have used that later on to their advantage, 781 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,760 Speaker 1: did the Bills offense because that play selection was perfect? 782 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: That was perfect? Hey, what do you think what's the 783 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: most as the Bills head into Week two? What are 784 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: you most encouraged about as far as their offense is concerned. 785 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: Is it the play of the offensive mind, maybe it's 786 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: a play of Josh Allen. We didn't put it on 787 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: our Twitter poll. Is it the play of John Brown? 788 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: Is it Devin Singletary? Bill said? Coach Sean McDermott was 789 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: asked about Singletary today. He was asked if his confidence 790 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: in the rookie running back Singletary was enhanced, was improved 791 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: by the way you Singletary played against the Jets. Here's 792 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,399 Speaker 1: what John McDermott said. It certainly didn't hurt. But you listen, 793 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: you guys have been a training camp. You've you've seen 794 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: some of the things that our backs have been able 795 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 1: to do that Devin in this case, you know, and 796 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: to their credit, all of our young players. We had 797 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: a lot of young players play and play significant snaps 798 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 1: in Week one, and I thought all of them did 799 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: a nice job and with certainly room to grow. And 800 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: that's this week is about. Yeah, Sean, it was funny. 801 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: He was asked several times, and I get it. It's 802 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: a legitimate question, who's your feature back, who's your starter back? 803 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: What's the difference? And he didn't want to go there, 804 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: and I understand why he would not. And I think 805 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: they perceive a role for both Singletary and Frank Gordon, 806 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: maybe even t J. Yeldon moving forward here, Steve, I 807 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: think they do figure they got a roll for all 808 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: those guys. The feature back is the back who's in 809 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: the backfield at any given moment. The starting running back 810 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: is the guy who takes the first snap of the game, 811 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: or the guy who's in the backfield with the first 812 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: personnel grouping, who takes the first snap. So there you 813 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 1: have it. You can't feature a running back who's standing 814 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,800 Speaker 1: on the sidelines, and you can't feature you can't be 815 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: a starter unless you're out there with the first snap 816 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: of the game. And it doesn't really matter. It goes, 817 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what you call. It doesn't work that 818 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,439 Speaker 1: way anymore. It's not like that in the NFL these days. 819 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: You don't have that Now, certainly there are teams who 820 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: do Levion bell is going to be out there ninety 821 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: percent of the snap apps, uh sae Quon Barkley nine 822 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, Zeke Elliott ninety percent of this. Now, 823 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 1: those guys are are different guys. The Bills aren't doing 824 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: it that way, at least not at this point. They 825 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 1: called it running backpack committee on Devin. Yeah, they Devin 826 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: Singletary played seventy percent of the snaps. I mean, you know, 827 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: take that the first one he was but you know, 828 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 1: but then again at the end of the game when 829 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: it was on the line they got to run out 830 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,240 Speaker 1: of the clock. Who took the handoffs? Frank Gore three straight? 831 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: He was the feature back then. He was the feature 832 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 1: back then. Yeah, so it's you know, I wouldn't get 833 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: caught up in them. It's well, I'm not. I know 834 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 1: you're not.

I was pointing, We 863 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: just surprising to you and I guy that both of 864 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: us really thinks a good player that played for the 865 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 1: Jets last we Quincy and noon was out with a 866 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,439 Speaker 1: neck injury for the rest of the season. Yeah, that's 867 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: a big loss for them. Yeah, Quincy and Noon wa 868 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: And I know that rich Gannon said this on the 869 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: broadcast on Sunday. We had spoken. We done some Jet 870 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: games last year and they had said the same thing. 871 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: Quincy and noon Wa is a is a running back 872 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: playing in a plays like a running back in a 873 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: tight ends body who plays wide receiver. I mean, this 874 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: guy is a big, strong, fast, wide receiver. He just 875 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: signed an extension with the with the Jets. With the 876 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: Jets and this last offseason or maybe during the last season, 877 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: and I was bummed because he was gonna be a 878 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 1: free agent. I thought, man, that is one guy the 879 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: Bills should take a look at. He is a big, 880 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: strong athlete. Now he's out for the rest of the 881 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: year for the Jets. You talk about it going bad. Well, 882 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: it leads me to this question in the remaining minute 883 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: or so we have here. Is it too soon to 884 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: say that the Jets are They're in an early season unraveling. 885 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: I think Adam Gaze's reaction to their loss to the 886 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: Bills kind of threw some players under the bus. Threw 887 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: some players under the bus. They switched out kickers again. 888 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,439 Speaker 1: They're und their fourth kicker since it started training camp. 889 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,399 Speaker 1: None was out for the rest of the year. I'm 890 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 1: not saying the Jets can't recover there. There are certain 891 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: parts of their team levey On Bell and others who 892 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: are good, solid players. But I think the Jets have 893 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: quickly and early this season hit hit hit a trouble 894 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: spot right, And who is there the Bills that put 895 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: him there? Their kicker a year ago? Was he or 896 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: was he not? In the Pro Bowl? Yes, he was 897 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 1: good and they let him go. Let the top guy 898 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: in the league the top Yeah, and Andre Roberts they 899 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: let go Pro Bowl. The top kicker in the league 900 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: is the guy from Baltimore. Justin Tuck makes five million 901 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: a year on average five that's like a backup linebacker. 902 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,800 Speaker 1: Pay the guy, pay your all pro kicker to stay 903 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 1: and keep making kicks. It's it's nothing. You know what 904 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 1: I think this is And this is not an excuse 905 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: for the Jets. This is what happens when you change 906 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: a coach, and a coach comes in and may have 907 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 1: different opinions about certain personnel, and then you change a 908 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: general manager when you're not convinced that mccangan is going 909 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,720 Speaker 1: to be around, and maybe you don't listen to his advice. 910 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: Sign this guy, keep this guy right. This is what 911 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: when you have a top level personnel, change coach, general manager. 912 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 1: Guys like that get lost in the shuffle. That's happened 913 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,280 Speaker 1: here and all of a sudden, four kickers since training 914 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 1: camp began six weeks ago. That's amazing. Poor leadership man, 915 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: Yes it is. Can't you gotta have And that's why 916 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: I'm listen. I know they played well the other night, 917 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: but the Texans are it's gonna show up. Oh yeah, 918 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna show up that they don't have a general manager. 919 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: They got like six guys doing the splitting up the 920 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 1: job of the general manager. Bill O'Brien is the guy 921 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: that most teams answer to when they're asking about trades, 922 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 1: and this guy and that guy. Any transactions go through 923 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's office, and I think at this point he 924 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: probably has final say on it, although there are some 925 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 1: guys with a voice in the room, but there is 926 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: no leader. It has to fall all the way to 927 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, the head coach. And man, I'm telling you, 928 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: it's a twenty four hour day, seven day a week, 929 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 1: three or sixty five days a year job to be 930 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: a head coach of an NFL team, to be a 931 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 1: head coach and a GM, it's gonna show up. It's 932 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: gonna show up. There is evidence that the Texans already today. 933 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: The report is the Texans have released cornerback Aaron Colvin, 934 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: signed to a four year deal a year ago, eighteen 935 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: million dollars guarantee signed his free agent. He struggled against 936 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: the Saints Monday night. We saw that right. Both teams 937 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 1: were struggling playing pass defense. But he struggled, gave up 938 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: a pass to Ted Ginn on the final play of 939 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: the game, set up the Will Lutz field goal. And look, 940 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: and you're a coach and you get mad, you know, 941 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: like Loui Saban said, you know, I'm gonna cuts the kicker. 942 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: The night after he misses a field goal for the Bills. 943 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: That's what coaches do. Aaron Colvin, Man, how did he 944 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 1: let that pass get by? Cut him? Well, that's why 945 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: you have a general manager who says, well, I hear 946 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: what you're saying, coach. I know you feel strongly about it, 947 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: but we've got X amount invested in this guy. We 948 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: we thought at the time he was a pretty good player. 949 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: We think he still might be. You know what I mean. 950 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: Con you can cut the guy because you're mad at him, 951 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 1: but you still got to line up eleven guys not ten. Yeah, 952 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: so who's the guy in there? Is that guy gonna 953 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: be better? Why was he playing ahead of him? Yeah, 954 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, I get it. Maybe it was because of 955 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 1: the money, But man, you gotta be kidding me. Yeah right, So, 956 00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: sooner or later it's gonna show up. And with the Jets, 957 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: it's it kind of is with this kicking thing. Sooner 958 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 1: and it warns my heart see the Jets struggle. I'm 959 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: not saying that I don't like the Jets. I'm not 960 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: saying there'll be a season long issue. I do think 961 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: there's enough talent there that they'll get a little bit better. 962 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: But it does me good to see them struggle and 963 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 1: to see their coaches in my tenure here on one 964 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 1: Dell's life. I know this. There's a lot of things 965 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 1: that you're you're salty about. And yeah, and one of 966 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: the things that you you don't really cheer, you do, 967 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 1: you openly cheer against some things. But one of the 968 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,360 Speaker 1: teams you really do hate is the New York Jets. 969 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: Do that kind of that kind of warms my heart 970 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: that you hate them so much. I don't even hate 971 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: them that much. I hate them and they you know, 972 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: they used to beat my brains out. I you know, 973 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 1: and I don't really really Jet. It's not that it's 974 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 1: not that much fun, but they kind of get more 975 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 1: so than I like even the Patriots. I mean, you 976 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 1: hate the Jets worse and the Patriots. See there you go, 977 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,879 Speaker 1: that's I don't like the Patriots either.

NFL Insider for ESPN, 1038 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 1: the host of ESPN's the Fantasy Show, the host of 1039 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 1: the Fantasy Football Podcast on ESPN, Field Yates joins us. Hello, Field, 1040 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker here in Buffalo. Thank you for 1041 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: being with us. We appreciate it. Hey, guys, I appreciate 1042 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: you having me on. Looking forward to talking to you. Yeah, 1043 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 1: looking forward to it as well. The Bills go up 1044 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 1: against the Giants team that struggled, especially in the back 1045 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 1: end of the defense against Dallas. But as I said 1046 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,399 Speaker 1: to see first hour, Field, it's only one week. I'm 1047 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,759 Speaker 1: reluctant to say that's who the Giants are. What's your 1048 00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 1: take on that? Well, you know, I think the Giants 1049 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 1: came into this season was somewhat of what it was 1050 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 1: an interesting off season to say the league. Let's start 1051 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,759 Speaker 1: there at the New York Giants. Is that of all 1052 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: the things that the Giants did the sass off season, 1053 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: many of them did not necessarily play well, play out 1054 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,359 Speaker 1: well in the court of public opinion, which you can 1055 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 1: decide whether that matters or not, right, I mean, ultimately, 1056 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,879 Speaker 1: the wins and losses are what dictates how an off 1057 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: season is viewed when it matters, which is after the fact. 1058 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 1: But the Giants came in with somewhat moderate expectations this year. 1059 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 1: You know, they certainly feel as though they can be 1060 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: better than most believed they could have been. But Week 1061 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 1: one was, you know, an unfortunate way for the Giants 1062 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: to get things going. Here's the reality for the Giants 1063 00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,400 Speaker 1: is that they are going to have to find a 1064 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,839 Speaker 1: way to run their offense through stake Won Barkley. They'll 1065 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 1: also not fall on that far behind. And on Sunday 1066 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 1: it got way out of reach. And not only did 1067 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: they not run their offensive Stakelon Barkley, who had just 1068 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,239 Speaker 1: fifteen totals carries, but they did not come anywhere close 1069 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 1: to staying within breathing distance of the Dallas Cowboys. It 1070 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,560 Speaker 1: was a ramping. It was a game that was about 1071 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 1: as close as the score would indicate it. Yeah, and 1072 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,560 Speaker 1: that's really the question. Is there anybody, and you're the 1073 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,439 Speaker 1: fantasy guys, there anybody on the Giants besides say, Quon 1074 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,320 Speaker 1: Barkley that even gives you a second look? Yeah, for 1075 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 1: right now, no other than Stakeuon Barkley and Nevann Ingram. Obviously, 1076 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 1: those two players are tremendously respected. Spot. You know, I 1077 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 1: mentioned how Stakelon Barkley had just fifteen total touches, and 1078 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,399 Speaker 1: yet he had one hundred and twenty rushing yards plus 1079 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 1: his passing game outlets. So the guy is just tremendous 1080 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,359 Speaker 1: every single time he touches the football. I think he's 1081 00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: the best running back in the league of an. Ingram 1082 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,760 Speaker 1: had out in twelve targets last week, and that number 1083 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,879 Speaker 1: could go up even more this week as the team 1084 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: is dealing with Serving Shepherd being in the concussion protocol. 1085 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,840 Speaker 1: Shepherd such a big part of what they can do 1086 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: offensively week to week with so few other wide receivers 1087 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 1: on their roster right now that really move the needle. 1088 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: So for now, I think you should plan on it 1089 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 1: being in the Evan Ingram and also a Stakelon Barkley 1090 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: Show on Sunday when these two teams square off. And 1091 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 1: I know John just said that, you know, we're one 1092 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,800 Speaker 1: week into a long season and we don't know anything 1093 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: about anything yet, but we can overreact. So let's talk 1094 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: about the over great overreactions in the fantasy world on 1095 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: Week one. Who do you think all of a sudden 1096 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 1: came from nowhere and maybe a fantasy steal? And who 1097 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: do you think you thought was going to be a 1098 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 1: fantasy home run might turn out to be not so great. Well, 1099 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 1: I don't know about So here's I say is a 1100 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 1: couple of players that came out of nowhere. Depends on 1101 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,279 Speaker 1: what you sort of define that way, Because like Karry 1102 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 1: McLaurin generated a bunch of interest in Washington this preseason 1103 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 1: as a guy it's got a chance to be a 1104 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 1: real stud for them. The question was, all right, how 1105 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 1: often or how frequently do we see a player emerge 1106 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 1: seemingly out of nowhere? The third round pick at wide receiver, 1107 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,439 Speaker 1: there were some question marks but how much he would 1108 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 1: be effective In his NFL debut he was a rock 1109 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,360 Speaker 1: solid though. He played nearly ninety three percent of the 1110 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 1: offensive snaps for the Redskins, had five catches, one hundred 1111 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 1: and twenty five yards and a touchdown. He'd be a 1112 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 1: guy that I would say as emerged now. Guys like 1113 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,800 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown also also obviously often for the Raven He 1114 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 1: played just fourteen snaps, so that was one of those 1115 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: games that he's got a chance to grow into a 1116 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 1: role more. But Terry McLaurin is already an every down 1117 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Redskins. In terms of players that 1118 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 1: you're a little bit nervous about after the first week. 1119 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 1: I would say probably starts with and I think the 1120 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: most questions would be surrounding Todd Gurley and not the 1121 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 1: Todd row did not play well in week for him 1122 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,839 Speaker 1: because he did he had ninety studs and rushing yards 1123 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,319 Speaker 1: and the team's season opener. But we saw Malcolm Brown 1124 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns and got basically all the goal line works. 1125 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 1: So you know, the beauty of Todd Gurley was, Hey, 1126 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,840 Speaker 1: even if he's only getting fifteen carries a game and 1127 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: say Sean Nizay often, he's probably still going to get 1128 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, probably two goal line or goal to goal 1129 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,759 Speaker 1: carries each Sunday. That wasn't the case this past week. 1130 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 1: So not bending him, not you know, trying to cut 1131 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 1: bait more just like, hey, you know you drafted Todd 1132 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,279 Speaker 1: Gurley in previous years for him to be the MVP 1133 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,360 Speaker 1: of Fantasy football. I'm not sure that's going to be 1134 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: the case this year. Talk to us a little bit 1135 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 1: about Devin Singletary. He kind of emerged a little bit 1136 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 1: out of nowhere for the Buffalo Bills. He came out 1137 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,800 Speaker 1: had four carries for seventy yards, and it looks like 1138 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 1: Buffalo with Frank Gore, t J. Yelden, and Singletary, they're 1139 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,920 Speaker 1: gonna do it by committee. I know that really doesn't 1140 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 1: help a lot of fantasy teams, and it kind of 1141 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: people shy away from those kind of guys. Is that correct? Yeah, 1142 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 1: I'd say so. Is that generally speaking? When you're, you know, 1143 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 1: playing a fantasy football we're looking for is what we 1144 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 1: would call a workhorse back. And you know, I gotta 1145 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 1: tell you, guys, he looked like a workhorse, did Devin 1146 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 1: Singletary from like the middle of the second quarter on 1147 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,080 Speaker 1: and this past weekend And I'm sure we'll get into 1148 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 1: it a little bit, but like past Sunday's game was 1149 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 1: just unique in a lot of ways right to the Bills, 1150 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,800 Speaker 1: Like it was twenty minutes of ugly sort of you know, 1151 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 1: just just almost burned the tape type of football, and 1152 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: then it turned around and it was a reflection of 1153 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 1: what I think we're going to see this year. But 1154 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: I thought it personally and this was not and I'm 1155 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,239 Speaker 1: not questioning the decision otherwise. I just this is my 1156 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: guests would have been that Frank Or would have played 1157 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 1: more out of the gates for the Bills. Now, it 1158 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 1: might have been that they fell behind early obviously down 1159 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: eight nothing after the touchdown, plus the safety, that maybe 1160 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,040 Speaker 1: it was more of a game script thing. But Devin 1161 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 1: Singletary not only was it playing a lot, but he 1162 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 1: was playing effectively. Love the way that he ran in 1163 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 1: a couple of chunk runs obviously a fact during the 1164 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: passing game, which if you go back and look at 1165 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,040 Speaker 1: his last season and Flora Atlantic, wasn't a huge part 1166 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 1: of what they did in the passing game. Part of 1167 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 1: it was just there running the football so effectively with him. 1168 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think there's something to be said for 1169 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: what Demon Singletary accomplished in Week one. There's a lot 1170 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 1: of encouragement if you had either drafted him or you know, 1171 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 1: maybe more are less likely are looking for him on 1172 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 1: the waiver wire. This week, Field Gates joins his ESPN 1173 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 1: The NFL Insider, host of ESPN's The Fantasy Show. You 1174 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 1: sets up in a minute ago, I want to kind 1175 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 1: of dive into field if you would. You mentioned how 1176 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,439 Speaker 1: the way the Bills finished the game offensive here finally 1177 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,400 Speaker 1: moving the ball. You thought that was I guess more 1178 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 1: of what you'll see the rest of the season. What 1179 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 1: did you see and how do you expect that will continue? Yeah, Well, 1180 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 1: here's I say is you know, I think you guys 1181 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: probably know this. I was pretty optimistic about what the 1182 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 1: Bills were doing this pass off season and understanding that, 1183 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, things happen, right, I mean, things can go 1184 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 1: differently than you expect them to. I mean we've got 1185 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 1: a variety of people who are you know, players that 1186 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 1: Week one injuries that change the outlook for things going forward. Right, 1187 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 1: So it's a you know for the Bills. So based 1188 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 1: off what I thought was going to happen, I thought 1189 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: the Bills performed well in the second off or what 1190 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 1: I saw. I was, first of all, a refined Josh Allen. 1191 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: Not perfect obviously, but there's certainly a lot of encouraging 1192 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 1: finds from him. Beyond that, John Brown was every bit 1193 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 1: as advertised and it wasn't just the vertical stuff that 1194 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 1: people were sort of hoping for from Josh Brown John Brown, 1195 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,440 Speaker 1: but it was sort of just a volume, right, ten targets, 1196 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: seven catches, one hundred and twenty three yards, good in 1197 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: competitive catch situations, good after the catch. So I thought 1198 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 1: the you know, the passing game took off in a 1199 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 1: way that I didn't see it. That's frequently take off 1200 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,280 Speaker 1: last year, So I was encouraged what we saw out 1201 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 1: of that entire Bills offense from basically like midwood is 1202 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:32,360 Speaker 1: the second quarter on did pass to run ratio surprise you, No, 1203 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,280 Speaker 1: not really, because of how the game was going. It 1204 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 1: was you know, it was obviously you know, eight nothing 1205 00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,439 Speaker 1: game early and sort of stuck in the mud game 1206 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 1: type early for the Bills offense, but you kind of 1207 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 1: had to throw to catch up and then in close 1208 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,439 Speaker 1: games in the fourth quarter, not you know that that's 1209 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: big of a surprise. So I wasn't totally stunned by 1210 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 1: how it all played out, and I thought that it was, 1211 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 1: you know, pretty like that would be what I would 1212 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,440 Speaker 1: expect given how the game began, and you know, sort 1213 00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,160 Speaker 1: of how they just you know, in the first half 1214 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:01,600 Speaker 1: it was more of a punt pat than it was 1215 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: than anything else. Field Gates joins us from ESPN. Let's 1216 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 1: talk about Buffaloes opponents a little bit this week, Field, 1217 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,240 Speaker 1: if we can the the New York Giants, who I 1218 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 1: was thinking the other day, how they're kind of in 1219 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 1: the spot the Bills were a year ago. As far 1220 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: as receiving targets, lack of offensive firepower, Golden Tate out 1221 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,480 Speaker 1: first four games and and now Sterling Sheppards and concussion protocol. 1222 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,440 Speaker 1: They might not have anywhere to go with the football 1223 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: this week and maybe for a couple more weeks. Huh. Yeah, 1224 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. You know, it's gonna be Um. 1225 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:33,520 Speaker 1: You know, I saw today they're resigning TJ. Jones, you know, 1226 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 1: formerly with the team, and you know, I don't want 1227 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: to be and not trying to be sort of unkind 1228 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,040 Speaker 1: to TJ. But you know that sort of tells you 1229 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: where they're at, right I mean, like when you're turning 1230 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 1: the players of that caliber at this time of the 1231 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: year because you might need them to play right away. 1232 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 1: Because you've got Sterling Shepherd, bang goph Darius Flayton, their 1233 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: fifth round pick, who's dealing with the hamshiing issues. You've 1234 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 1: got Golden Tate, you know, concussed right now. I'm sorry, 1235 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 1: it's in the suspended right now. I should say. You know, 1236 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: there are so many players right now that are that 1237 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 1: are prominent parts of this Giants offense there aren't necessarily available. Um, 1238 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 1: it's going to be a grinded out four weeks for 1239 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: the Giants. They you know, this is a good this 1240 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,480 Speaker 1: is one of those years. This whole season they're going 1241 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 1: to sort of figure it out. What did you see 1242 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 1: from their defense? It looked like they just didn't communicate it. 1243 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 1: They were it was more mental mistakes, I guess I'm 1244 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 1: saying than it was physical for the Giants in the 1245 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,280 Speaker 1: in their defense, correct, Yeah, I mean there was I 1246 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 1: say probably both to be honest with you, though, like 1247 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,440 Speaker 1: there certainly were some mental communication errors. But you know, 1248 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,280 Speaker 1: I think just overmatched personnel wise in the back end. 1249 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 1: You know, they have a you know, player in Genra 1250 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,040 Speaker 1: yanking in a very capable cover corner, but not a 1251 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 1: lot of other guys that sort of scare you in 1252 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 1: the way that you know, if you're facing the build, 1253 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 1: if you do your best to find her Davious White 1254 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,560 Speaker 1: and throw it somewhere else, right, Uh, you know, that's 1255 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,360 Speaker 1: that's that's just not some of the Giants bring uh 1256 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,240 Speaker 1: pretty consistently with their secondary and their personnel there. But 1257 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 1: I do think that the Giants, you know, they've got 1258 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,640 Speaker 1: they've got some girth upfront, not particularly potent in terms 1259 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 1: of pure edge rushers, you know, pensively, Again, it's gonna 1260 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: be another year for them where the personnel needs a 1261 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 1: lot of work. I know they made some investments in, 1262 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 1: you know, in the first round, and they feel good 1263 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 1: about DeAndre Baker quarterback eventually becoming a really good player. 1264 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,360 Speaker 1: But for right now, um, I think this is pretty 1265 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 1: much it's a defense on of the bills, conducing damage 1266 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 1: against what I would play on Sunday, Philly. One more 1267 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 1: Giants question for you, and that's about the quarterback Eli Manning, 1268 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: who I've watched most of the Cowboys Giants game. I 1269 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 1: thought he threw it well. I thought he played well, 1270 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,919 Speaker 1: which has implications for this Sunday and for fantasy players. Right, yeah, 1271 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: I'd say so. I mean, listen, I think that. Uh, 1272 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 1: I guess I don't. I don't want to be unkind 1273 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 1: on the Giants stuff, but yeah, I know. But right now, 1274 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,720 Speaker 1: really it's it's for the Giants. It's a two man band. 1275 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,760 Speaker 1: Fantasy wise, it is Evan Ingram, It's Steaklon Barkley, two 1276 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:54,240 Speaker 1: outstanding players in their respective positions. But it's besides that guy. 1277 01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 1: Sort of the fantasy implications are a little bit more, 1278 01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, sort of you're sort of grasping for strass 1279 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 1: right when Golden State returned is different. But for right now, 1280 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 1: those are the two names. And know how good is 1281 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram of the tight end spot. Yeah, he's outstand 1282 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,440 Speaker 1: He's awesome, and he's kind of a big wide receiver. 1283 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean not that he's not a tight end, but 1284 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: like in terms of his like if you saw him, 1285 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 1: you might think he's just a big wide receiver and 1286 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 1: not necessarily a tight end because he's so athletic and 1287 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 1: looks looks I mean like a freak he is. You know, 1288 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,000 Speaker 1: he ran like a four four four to combine a 1289 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 1: few years ago. A guy who's going to be soon 1290 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,480 Speaker 1: one of the highest state tight ends in the NFL 1291 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: wasn't eligible for an extension. It obviously saw a ton 1292 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 1: of volume last week, and I would expect him to 1293 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 1: see the same thing this week. Guys, U doesn't really 1294 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,640 Speaker 1: have a limitation in terms of his uh, you know, 1295 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 1: really his um. I would say passing route is his 1296 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 1: rat running tree. He's a guy that he's he's a mismatch. 1297 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 1: I think that when you know, when Sean mcderman and 1298 01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Leslie Frager and the rest of the Bill's defensive staff 1299 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 1: or building their game plan or they were, they built 1300 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: it yesterday. My guess is that you know, a lot 1301 01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 1: of it was probably how do we stop twenty six? 1302 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 1: And how do we stop eighty eight? Ye Ruth Field Yates. 1303 01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,040 Speaker 1: He's host of the ESPN's The Fantasy Show, host of 1304 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football, a fantasy focused football podcast. We got a 1305 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 1: couple of questions tweeted in by folks who have fantasy questions. Field, 1306 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 1: let me throw these at you. From u NCJ flex position, 1307 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 1: I'll shun Jeffrey, Nick Chubb or Jarvis Landry. Wow. Great 1308 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: options to have right there. I'd love to have the 1309 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 1: vote of the sitting Nick Chubb, but I certainly wouldn't 1310 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 1: do that. If you're a consibut sitting him, you've got 1311 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 1: a great roster, So I would go with Nick Chubb 1312 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,600 Speaker 1: as my flex spot. Here's one from bow Dot. What's 1313 01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 1: a fair amount of time to hang on to a 1314 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,960 Speaker 1: player at the start of the season. I'd say at 1315 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 1: least four weeks for somebody who grapp dropped in the 1316 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,160 Speaker 1: first three to four rounds, provided there's no injury there 1317 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,640 Speaker 1: other players. I mean, I've already cut players from my 1318 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 1: roster after one week, but those are players that are 1319 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 1: hot on the back end and my roster that I 1320 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 1: wasn't anticipating be starters for me. Yeah, this is another one. 1321 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 1: You mentioned the Rams and they're running back Todd Gurley, 1322 01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 1: but they've also got Malcolm Brown. What circumstances should you 1323 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,600 Speaker 1: start running back Malcolm Brown? Yeah, it has to be 1324 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:05,200 Speaker 1: a very deep league if you look closely, and eleven 1325 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,520 Speaker 1: snaps last week or maybe the fifteen snaps last week 1326 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: from Malcolm Brown. So just because a guy performs really well, like, 1327 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, logic tells you that if a guy, you know, 1328 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 1: it's almost like making It's almost like if you saw 1329 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,919 Speaker 1: an MLB player had, you know, had six home runs 1330 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 1: in six games, you stay to yourself, like, there's no 1331 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,680 Speaker 1: way he's going to hit the seven, you know, seven, eight, nine, 1332 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 1: ten in the next four games, right, Like, logic just 1333 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: tells you that it's very hard to hit a home 1334 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:34,960 Speaker 1: run every single game. And Malcolm Brown kind of had 1335 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,600 Speaker 1: the perfect start to his season in terms of snaps 1336 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 1: played in the amount he got out of it. A 1337 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: tweet from Kenneth A fantasy question. Is Greg Olsen likely 1338 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 1: to play Thursday night for Carolina? Regardless? Can Ian Thomas 1339 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 1: see significant action and make an impact? What do you 1340 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 1: think yeah, I think so. I keep my eyes on 1341 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,360 Speaker 1: me and Thomas because Greg Olson is a very you 1342 01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: need a question mark right now. But Thomas great athlete, 1343 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,120 Speaker 1: guy you got drafted out of Indiana last years, didn't 1344 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,640 Speaker 1: have a lot of experience playing football in college. But Olston, 1345 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, Olston sounds like he's got a chance. Here's 1346 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 1: the good news is that if you are considering Greg Olson, 1347 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 1: and you either have Ian Thomas now or he is 1348 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 1: available on the waiver wire, you just wait until tomorrow 1349 01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 1: night at about six fifty Eastern times when the game begins. 1350 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: Because it's a lot you know, if it's one day 1351 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,560 Speaker 1: when it's a Sunday night game and you're waiting, I 1352 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 1: as a gain a player, is they're not going to 1353 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,520 Speaker 1: play because if he isn't you know, my replacement might 1354 01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,600 Speaker 1: be during that one o'clock game if you're you know, 1355 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,280 Speaker 1: the four o'clock games are ideal for that reason. So 1356 01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 1: I keep an eye on that one again around six 1357 01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 1: to fifty Eastern time tomorrow. Okay, we've got another one 1358 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 1: more question, the last one from our from our listeners 1359 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:46,400 Speaker 1: about a flex player and his PPR scoring. So who 1360 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 1: do you play in your flex position for PPR scoring. 1361 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 1: Is it Singletary Lindsay Godwin or Westbrook Singletary Lindsay Godwin 1362 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,600 Speaker 1: or Westbrooks so PPR scoring, which is, while you know 1363 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 1: Chris Goodwin, just you know points person so typically skew 1364 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 1: in favor of wide receivers in that regard, So I 1365 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 1: would go with Chris Godwin. I mean, God, it was 1366 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,720 Speaker 1: a tough start for the Bucks in Week one, but 1367 01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 1: God wouldn't did find the end zone. And you know, 1368 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 1: I think he had a chance to be a ninety 1369 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 1: catch player this year if they get on track. And 1370 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,840 Speaker 1: I know that might not feel likely after a Week one, 1371 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:22,840 Speaker 1: but I remind people of what happened in Week one 1372 01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,080 Speaker 1: of last year, things like mine Fitzpatricks rode for four 1373 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:29,200 Speaker 1: hundred yards and crazy other weird goings on that result 1374 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,520 Speaker 1: from a tiny sample size. Yeah, and that gets to 1375 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,560 Speaker 1: the point I want to ask you here, feel the 1376 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:38,000 Speaker 1: nets about somebody like Sammy Watkins? Huge game and now, 1377 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,200 Speaker 1: of course we know the Tyree Hill news, but can 1378 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 1: you count on Sammy Watkins to be that guy? I mean, 1379 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:44,560 Speaker 1: should people have him in their league or maybe are 1380 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 1: looking to add somebody? Is he a guy you want 1381 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,120 Speaker 1: to jump on now? Yeah, he's certainly you can count 1382 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,720 Speaker 1: on Sammy Watkins in a major way. Obviously very familiar 1383 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 1: to those in Buffalo, and I know that a tenure 1384 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,640 Speaker 1: in Buffalo that not necessarily go as planned. But I 1385 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 1: mean any billspan who can recall about color Rush game 1386 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,360 Speaker 1: again the Jets. I believe it was the week before 1387 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 1: Christmas in twenty twenty fifteen, maybe, but it was a 1388 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 1: game that the Bills were wearing the bright red jerseys, 1389 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 1: the Jets were in the bright green jerseys, and Sammy 1390 01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,960 Speaker 1: Watkins made Darrell Revs look like and this was still 1391 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 1: not this is Darrell Revers like almost prime Gill Roll. 1392 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Revers made him look like a player that did not 1393 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,280 Speaker 1: belong in the field that night. So Fammy Watkins was 1394 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 1: a plenty of natural ability. Patrick Mahomes obviously an incredible quarterback. 1395 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 1: So along both of those lines, that's why you could 1396 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 1: still have confidence in Sammy Watkins as a player, especially 1397 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,120 Speaker 1: with Tyree Hill out for what we think could be 1398 01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,040 Speaker 1: somewhere between four and six weeks. With Tyreek Hill out, 1399 01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 1: does that change your opinion of freshly acquired Lashawn McCoy 1400 01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,880 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs as well? Same offense as Sammy Watkins, 1401 01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,600 Speaker 1: a lot of options and the MVP throwing it around. 1402 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 1: Does Lashawn McCoy evolve into something more than just an 1403 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 1: afterthought in that team? I don't know that an afterthought, 1404 01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 1: I should say. I think he does evolve into more 1405 01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,120 Speaker 1: than that. I think you know, you guys know la 1406 01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,760 Speaker 1: Shawn well, having spent the past two years around him. 1407 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,800 Speaker 1: You know there were moments last year where it looked 1408 01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 1: sort of toast, But at the same time, like I 1409 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:08,200 Speaker 1: think everybody would tell you that it was a growing 1410 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,080 Speaker 1: offense right the offensive line, which we know was an 1411 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,520 Speaker 1: area that they needed to improve given how many players 1412 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,599 Speaker 1: the Bills drafted this offseason and invested in a free 1413 01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 1: agency and trades, etc. So it was not necessarily the 1414 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 1: circumstances to set up success for Lashan. McCoy looked much 1415 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: better in his first game with the Chiefs, had eighty 1416 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 1: one rushing yards on just ten carries. If ye, I 1417 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 1: want to ask you about Antonio Brown, and I guess 1418 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,800 Speaker 1: a two prong question. Obviously, you keep close eye on 1419 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,720 Speaker 1: the Patriots up there in Foxborough. I'm sure Antonio Brown 1420 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:41,080 Speaker 1: was a popular and very coveted fantasy pick as well. 1421 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,280 Speaker 1: But beyond that, where does this go and where do 1422 01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,679 Speaker 1: they go from here? I guess short term, the Patriots, 1423 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and the civil lawsuit that was filed today, 1424 01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 1: how do you think this shakes out? Well, the extreme 1425 01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,000 Speaker 1: short term is that he's practicing right now as the 1426 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 1: team is out there for their Wednesday work out. You know, 1427 01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 1: here's how I say, guys, So that's high. This conversation 1428 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,639 Speaker 1: a bunch of morning with people is sort of where 1429 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,240 Speaker 1: do the Patriots stand on this and what is the 1430 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,320 Speaker 1: responsibility than they have? And you know, I think we've 1431 01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 1: seen the league kind of I don't want to say, um, 1432 01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,719 Speaker 1: I don't want to suggest, but sort of the protocol 1433 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 1: has become for teams in some of these cases is Okay, listen, 1434 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,040 Speaker 1: you need to let the legal process run its course. 1435 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,840 Speaker 1: You need to let us investigate. Now. You can do 1436 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: your own due diligence, that's for sure. And if you 1437 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,760 Speaker 1: find something that uh, you know, prompts you to make 1438 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 1: a move, then that is your prerogative. At the same time, 1439 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, we need to you know it is we 1440 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 1: are going to do our research here. And I'm not 1441 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:39,600 Speaker 1: saying that they're sort of taking this out of the 1442 01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,880 Speaker 1: hands of the Patriots, but there's a limit on really 1443 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 1: any team, whether it's the Pose through us, whether it's 1444 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 1: any team it's involved with the situation that's anywhere close 1445 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 1: to this. I think the team is um sort of 1446 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 1: operating under the idea that like, here's our plan for now, 1447 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:56,880 Speaker 1: but got to change at a moment's notice. And the 1448 01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,519 Speaker 1: plan for right now is that Antonio Brown is going 1449 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 1: to and you know, in terms of playing on Sunday 1450 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 1: against Adolphins, we'll see. Now. If he doesn't play, it 1451 01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 1: might be tired of this incident. It also might be 1452 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:08,679 Speaker 1: tired of the fact that he will have he will 1453 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,280 Speaker 1: have been with the team for a grand total of 1454 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 1: five days before the game begins. And it makes a difference, 1455 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 1: doesn't it That it's a civil matter and not a 1456 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,600 Speaker 1: criminal matter. That would be a totally different situation, wouldn't it. 1457 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,240 Speaker 1: It does. Yeah, So there's a lot of tentacles to this. 1458 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:26,439 Speaker 1: And again it's not I'm not trying to cast judgments, certainly, 1459 01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's not sort of the spirit of 1460 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:31,559 Speaker 1: what we're trying to talk about right now. I think 1461 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:35,240 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's for practical models. Right now, I 1462 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,000 Speaker 1: think that Antonio Brown will continue to be on the 1463 01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:42,160 Speaker 1: field for the Patriots until further notice. Okay, thanks Field, 1464 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 1: good stuff, guys, Thank you.

Tyler Croft is an 1500 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,639 Speaker 1: interesting guy. We haven't thought much. He's been completely off 1501 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:46,320 Speaker 1: the radar, and yet when we signed him. It was 1502 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,800 Speaker 1: like he was a guy I saw him in the 1503 01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 1: hallway today and I thought, I wonder what he's going 1504 01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 1: to bring to us, because now, you know, originally I 1505 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,559 Speaker 1: thought he was going to be a little bit deeper 1506 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,920 Speaker 1: into the start of the regular season. But he's you know, 1507 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,360 Speaker 1: he's done some limited work again today and that's what 1508 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,160 Speaker 1: they say it. But when you if you keep an 1509 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:02,760 Speaker 1: eye on the early part of practice, you see him 1510 01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,599 Speaker 1: running around, um, you know, doing what players do. He's 1511 01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,320 Speaker 1: not full practicing yet. But I just I don't know. 1512 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't have the answer to this, but the thought 1513 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,000 Speaker 1: occurred to my head today, what can what can Tyler 1514 01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:15,160 Speaker 1: Croft do for this team at tight end? Might be 1515 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,479 Speaker 1: able to do another big, tall, rangey receiving tight end. 1516 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:24,519 Speaker 1: They got a stable of him now, um Croft, Sweeney 1517 01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,720 Speaker 1: Knox and then of course Lee Smith, who is um 1518 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,040 Speaker 1: who was it who was saying, you know, he's an 1519 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 1: offensive tackle wearing number eighties, which is what Eric would 1520 01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,800 Speaker 1: call them in their broadcast. But they've got some guys 1521 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,120 Speaker 1: that can that are they're all very tall six five 1522 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,680 Speaker 1: plus and they can all seem to be able to 1523 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,439 Speaker 1: run around and catch the run rounds and catch the 1524 01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:49,880 Speaker 1: ball that U and with Knox and Sweeney blocking so 1525 01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:53,080 Speaker 1: well U in the run game this last weekend through 1526 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 1: the preseason. That's that's a pretty good group. Yeah, it's 1527 01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 1: a pretty good group. And I think Croft makes them 1528 01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,679 Speaker 1: better even and we'll see it'll change now when Kraft 1529 01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 1: comes back and it looks like he's getting closer and closer. 1530 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,880 Speaker 1: What's the most encouraging part of the Bills offense as 1531 01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:07,560 Speaker 1: they head into week two? That's our Twitter poll. We 1532 01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,439 Speaker 1: got more than twelve hundred votes in so far. That's 1533 01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,240 Speaker 1: a lot and it's fairly close. Thirty nine percent of 1534 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,160 Speaker 1: you say the most encouraging thing about the Bills offense 1535 01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,560 Speaker 1: going into week two is the play of Devin Singletary. 1536 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,800 Speaker 1: Thirty four percent of you say it's to play the 1537 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:22,599 Speaker 1: offensive line, Twenty one percent say the play of wide 1538 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,559 Speaker 1: receiver John Brown, six percent of something else in mine. 1539 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 1: Let's discuss eight oh three five fifty and toll free 1540 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,320 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty or 1541 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,800 Speaker 1: sending a tweet. We can read it on the tweet sheet. 1542 01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:37,080 Speaker 1: Let's start with Terry in Texas. Hello, Terry, Texas is 1543 01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:38,960 Speaker 1: awfully big. What part of Texas are you in? Terry, 1544 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,439 Speaker 1: I love and love it, love it Texas. Yes, sir, 1545 01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm originally from Buffalo. I think y'all might even know 1546 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 1: my uncle Art. He used to hang out at w 1547 01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:53,679 Speaker 1: GR a little bit. I think r. What's his last name? Wonder? 1548 01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:58,599 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure party Yeah, the tiny tot of the Killawat. Yeah, yeah, 1549 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,800 Speaker 1: it's on your mind, Terry. Well, i'll tell you what. 1550 01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,599 Speaker 1: I was blacked out on the game, unfortunately being here 1551 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:07,800 Speaker 1: in Texas, but I did watch like nine or ten 1552 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 1: minutes or the highlights, and uh, for one, seeing good 1553 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:15,599 Speaker 1: passes be thrown and caught was really inspiring. And then 1554 01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't too too familiar with Devin Singletarry, so I 1555 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,519 Speaker 1: looked up some of his college highlights and uh, man, 1556 01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,559 Speaker 1: he's nasty. He looks like he's going to be a beast. 1557 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,439 Speaker 1: I like the way he makes people miss m When 1558 01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:29,800 Speaker 1: he had three carries for like seventy yards. I thought 1559 01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:33,040 Speaker 1: that was really good too, if they can, you know, 1560 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,200 Speaker 1: because for me all these years, it's like that, it's 1561 01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,560 Speaker 1: like run, run, run, and then pass when you need to, 1562 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And then the past you know, 1563 01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,560 Speaker 1: doesn't get the first down or something like that. So 1564 01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 1: for them to be able to move the chains by 1565 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:46,360 Speaker 1: passing the ball and bouncing back and forth between that 1566 01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:48,760 Speaker 1: and the run. I think that's gonna be awesome, a 1567 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,320 Speaker 1: buyable passing game. It's what they were in desperate need of. Terry, 1568 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 1: You're right, thanks for calling. You know, Chris Brown, we're 1569 01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,599 Speaker 1: talking about Devin Singletary when Chris was with us last hour, 1570 01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,240 Speaker 1: and he didn't make a big deal of it, but 1571 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 1: he said something that really struck me as I watched 1572 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 1: the highlights of the game about Devin Singletary and we 1573 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 1: saw it him preseason. How he runs. He has really 1574 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 1: good vision. I mean he sees what's in front of 1575 01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,519 Speaker 1: him and sees off to the side and feels what's 1576 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,479 Speaker 1: behind h He's really good. That might be the strength 1577 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 1: of his game as a runner. And we're just getting 1578 01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:18,880 Speaker 1: to know him, right, we're just seeing you know, this 1579 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,840 Speaker 1: first real meaningful runs as fast as we had figured. 1580 01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,840 Speaker 1: Yates on last segment and he's talking about field Ye says, 1581 01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, i'd see him as a workhorse. Yeah. He 1582 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,519 Speaker 1: was in on seventy percent of the offensive snaps and 1583 01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:31,960 Speaker 1: with the production he put in in the running game, 1584 01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,639 Speaker 1: and when they find out more and more about him, 1585 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,679 Speaker 1: plus they find out more and more about the offensive 1586 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 1: line and depending on what defense they're playing. I mean this, 1587 01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 1: he really is a guy you might hand the football 1588 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: off to twenty five times, you know, and throw it 1589 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:46,800 Speaker 1: to him eight times, and he have be one of 1590 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:51,519 Speaker 1: those workhorse type of backs, certainly at five to seven 1591 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:57,639 Speaker 1: two hundred two or five. He's a guy you gotta 1592 01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,800 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta watch his workload, no question about it. 1593 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 1: But that's that's why you're doing it by committee. But yeah, 1594 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:06,120 Speaker 1: I I'm really interested to see what kind of touches 1595 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: they give him going forward. And I think that's as 1596 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,880 Speaker 1: telling as at anything. And then I'm that's what's gonna 1597 01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:14,800 Speaker 1: help me. It was one of the million things reasons 1598 01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to tune in, you know, watch this game 1599 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,439 Speaker 1: this Sunday job. Come on, I know it is. And 1600 01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:23,600 Speaker 1: not only what here's what I'm trying to say. What 1601 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,920 Speaker 1: kind of touches they give him might be more important 1602 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: than how many, right, And this goes back to the 1603 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,040 Speaker 1: joke we were talking about earlier about who's the feature back, 1604 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,560 Speaker 1: who's the starter, who cares who gets the ball in 1605 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 1: this situation? Who gets the ball in that situation might 1606 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,360 Speaker 1: be the critical question there, Steve, and I don't even 1607 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,800 Speaker 1: answer yet. We saw won games evidence, but so they 1608 01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, and that's just it against whatever defensive look 1609 01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:44,720 Speaker 1: they have at how many different ways are going to 1610 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 1: find to give him the football? And if they're giving 1611 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:49,280 Speaker 1: and believe me, let's let's face it, if they're giving 1612 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,240 Speaker 1: him the football, somebody else isn't getting it, you know, 1613 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 1: not that I'm talking about Frank Gore, t J L 1614 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about you know, John Brown and Cole 1615 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,760 Speaker 1: Beasley and the tight ends that we you know, the 1616 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,720 Speaker 1: tight ends had like what four catches, two catches, three 1617 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 1: catches over the weekend. I've got that here somewhere. I mean, 1618 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 1: the tight ends didn't catch that many balls. Sweeney and 1619 01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 1: Knocks combined for three catches. That's it. That's that's all 1620 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:22,400 Speaker 1: the tight ends caught. That surprises me. So we'll see 1621 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:24,760 Speaker 1: if that changes week to week as well. Call here 1622 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,000 Speaker 1: from Rex and Tona want to go ahead, Rex, wel'come 1623 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 1: on the show and you're on the air with us. 1624 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, the play 1625 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:36,000 Speaker 1: of Devon Singletary was it was unbelievable. But I think 1626 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:39,080 Speaker 1: the credit for that play it has to go to 1627 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,799 Speaker 1: the offensive line. I mean Mitchell Morris and his company. 1628 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 1: You know, they were opening up huge holes for him. 1629 01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean pretty much you could you could have drove 1630 01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,559 Speaker 1: a school bus through it. So I mean that really 1631 01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 1: was what led to those big runs by Singletary. And 1632 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:54,800 Speaker 1: I think we got to give credit were credit due, 1633 01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,320 Speaker 1: especially from last year to this year. The play of 1634 01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:00,840 Speaker 1: the offensive line. Oh my goodness. Yeah. And that's why 1635 01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,719 Speaker 1: I answered the Twitter pulled away I did with offensive 1636 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:07,280 Speaker 1: line because I'm encouraged. It wasn't perfect, but I'm encouraged 1637 01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:09,559 Speaker 1: of the holes they opened up, the protection they gave 1638 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,519 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. And I was surprised. I knew. I had 1639 01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,240 Speaker 1: a good feeling about Davin's secretary. I told you and 1640 01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,400 Speaker 1: Brownie last week that he would wind up with more 1641 01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,559 Speaker 1: yards than Frank Gore, and he did, and I knew 1642 01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,360 Speaker 1: he'd be productive. And I kind of had a good 1643 01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 1: feeling about John Brown because he's done it in the 1644 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 1: league before. But I didn't know what to expect from 1645 01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:29,640 Speaker 1: the offensive line. And it's really encouraging. And Rex, I 1646 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:31,719 Speaker 1: hear you what you say about how the offensive line 1647 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,080 Speaker 1: gave him huge, gaping holes, and they did but there 1648 01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,439 Speaker 1: was a couple of things he did that got extra 1649 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:38,680 Speaker 1: stuff done. The swing pass he took out to the 1650 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,839 Speaker 1: right side where he stopped and then went back outside 1651 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,760 Speaker 1: and got the first down around two defenders. That was him, 1652 01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 1: That wasn't the offensive line. And Rich Gannon, my guy 1653 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,800 Speaker 1: at CBS, kind of criticized him when he got that 1654 01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 1: run down and got inside the five yard line that 1655 01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,080 Speaker 1: led to Josh Allen's three yard touchdown game. He put 1656 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,840 Speaker 1: a move on the defensive back instead of trying to 1657 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,200 Speaker 1: get to the corner. When you watch that and Rich 1658 01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 1: didn't see this, I did. Adams, Jamal Adams was coming 1659 01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:14,080 Speaker 1: in deep from his right from Devin Singletary's right off 1660 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: the corner, and if he goes outside, Adams is gonna 1661 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,599 Speaker 1: be there to walk get to get him. He knew 1662 01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 1: and felt him he was there. That's why he didn't 1663 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: go to the corner and break it outside and did 1664 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,760 Speaker 1: not get a chance to score on that play. He 1665 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:28,840 Speaker 1: broke it inside and threw a couple of good moves 1666 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 1: at the safety to almost get free, but got tackled 1667 01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:33,760 Speaker 1: on the Like I said, the three yard line. His 1668 01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:39,360 Speaker 1: vision really sets him apart. And when he got criticized 1669 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,559 Speaker 1: by Rich in the booth for not breaking it outside 1670 01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 1: on that and maybe getting too that he did the 1671 01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:47,080 Speaker 1: right thing. He did not go outside because Adams was coming, 1672 01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,880 Speaker 1: was peeling off on the outside corner to come back 1673 01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,880 Speaker 1: and get him from behind. So I his vision. And 1674 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,680 Speaker 1: despite what the caller just said about the offensive line 1675 01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:57,040 Speaker 1: kind of doing most of the word, he did some 1676 01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,679 Speaker 1: stuff out there that still makes you go, Wow, that's 1677 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:01,640 Speaker 1: that's a guy that sees it and gets it. Is 1678 01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,800 Speaker 1: really tough in the open field. Take one more call 1679 01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,439 Speaker 1: of a segment from Gary and Buffalo. Hi, Gary, go ahead, 1680 01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:11,240 Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey guys, if you were game planning, 1681 01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:13,720 Speaker 1: if you were the offensive coordinator for the Giants, when 1682 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,240 Speaker 1: you were game planning against our defense, what would you 1683 01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 1: see as the weakest part of that defense? Oh, that's 1684 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: really good question. I think what I would probably do 1685 01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 1: off the top of my head. Their run defense is 1686 01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 1: really good, their pass rush is good. I would probably 1687 01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:30,439 Speaker 1: go to where they've got a backup playing, and that's 1688 01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:34,720 Speaker 1: a slot corner. I would do something to put the 1689 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 1: Bills what would be then the fourth dB or the 1690 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 1: sixth or seventh dB on their roster behind the two 1691 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:43,080 Speaker 1: safeties and the two corners that are starting on the outside, 1692 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:48,800 Speaker 1: Levi Wallace and Turdavious White. Tarn Johnson's not in there. 1693 01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,120 Speaker 1: So the guy in there is a is a backup, 1694 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:53,679 Speaker 1: and that's where I would That's where I would probably 1695 01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,200 Speaker 1: start my work. I'd get my best guy on that 1696 01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,519 Speaker 1: guy and go to work. That's what I would do. 1697 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,560 Speaker 1: May you have to start a backup as they and 1698 01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:05,880 Speaker 1: if I could, it would beat sae Quon Barkley out 1699 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:10,160 Speaker 1: there right or maybe or maybe the tight end for 1700 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,880 Speaker 1: the Giants. Maybe it would be Evan Ingram too, try 1701 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:15,560 Speaker 1: and get him matched up on a guy that you 1702 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,160 Speaker 1: don't think as I think about it, carry and it's 1703 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 1: a it's a legitimate question. But you know what I 1704 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 1: would do in this case. If I were the Giants 1705 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:23,720 Speaker 1: up against it seventeen points scored last week, trouble on 1706 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:25,560 Speaker 1: the back end of their defense, I would say, what 1707 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:27,479 Speaker 1: do we do well? The heck with who we're playing, 1708 01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,080 Speaker 1: what do we do well? We have se Quon Barkley, 1709 01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:32,160 Speaker 1: We're given sa Quon Barkley the ball. You only got 1710 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,720 Speaker 1: eleven touches eleven carreys last week. I would at least 1711 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:36,160 Speaker 1: double that if I were the Giants. That would be 1712 01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,680 Speaker 1: my approach. Then he is a premier, best running back 1713 01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,000 Speaker 1: in the league, the best player on their roster by 1714 01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,160 Speaker 1: a long shot. Give him the ball's yeah, And I 1715 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,920 Speaker 1: think you got to figure out a ton of ways 1716 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 1: to get him the ball. I think you're right, Murph. Yes, 1717 01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:51,800 Speaker 1: certainly you can line up and hand it off to him. 1718 01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,320 Speaker 1: And the offensive line seems to block pretty well in 1719 01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,640 Speaker 1: front of him at times, no question about it. I 1720 01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:58,720 Speaker 1: think that's where you start. You give your best guy 1721 01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 1: the football. And then if you're and the caller just 1722 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,320 Speaker 1: asking us where a game plan would be, that's obvious. 1723 01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 1: I think that in the passing game, it's what I said, 1724 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:12,439 Speaker 1: I'd go after the backup nickel slot m SA slot corner. 1725 01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,720 Speaker 1: Sa Quon Barkley's your best player. You gotta get him 1726 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,880 Speaker 1: matched up, and I wouldn't mind, you know, taking him 1727 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:20,560 Speaker 1: out of the formation, splitting him out, put him in 1728 01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 1: a wing back, put him, move him around, make the 1729 01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,320 Speaker 1: defense find where he's gonna be, make them decide how 1730 01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna get him the ball, and but make sure 1731 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 1: he gets it a ton yeah, and then maybe if 1732 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,400 Speaker 1: if you're gonna do that, if the force the defense 1733 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 1: to focus on him and then maybe jump it off 1734 01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,799 Speaker 1: to Evan Ingram, maybe get Evan Ingram on a mismatch 1735 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,080 Speaker 1: someplay and to compliment that. But man, I'm with you, 1736 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,000 Speaker 1: merf sa Quon. Barkley's the guy. Hey can we go um? 1737 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:49,040 Speaker 1: Talking about Barkley and the MSG side. We showed his 1738 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,040 Speaker 1: fifty nine yard run, not a touchdown run, but a 1739 01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 1: fifty nine yard run against the Cowboys last week. Remember 1740 01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:57,320 Speaker 1: when we had Marcella Louis Jack in here and I 1741 01:23:57,439 --> 01:23:59,360 Speaker 1: mentioned to you guys off the air we were walking 1742 01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,960 Speaker 1: out about the Cowboys cornerback who ran from the opposite 1743 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 1: side of the field to track him down. It was amazing. 1744 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:09,439 Speaker 1: I read more about it. Yeah, Chidobe a woozy. Jordan 1745 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,760 Speaker 1: ranan of who covers the Giants, said, he looked up 1746 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:15,920 Speaker 1: the numbers. He said Barkley. He talked to Barkley. He said. 1747 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 1: Barkley couldn't believe that a woozy tracked him down. And 1748 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:21,800 Speaker 1: the next gen snatch show that a woozy. His top 1749 01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 1: speed was twenty two point eight miles per hour, the 1750 01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:27,000 Speaker 1: fastest the player has been recorded on the field in 1751 01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,479 Speaker 1: two years. If we can show the play once more, 1752 01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:31,840 Speaker 1: it's the fifty nine yards sat Quon Barkley run. Watch 1753 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 1: him twenty four from the opposite side of the field. 1754 01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,040 Speaker 1: He runs twenty two point eight miles per hour to 1755 01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 1: track down sat Quon Barkley, who's a four or four 1756 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 1: guy at the combine fastest. The cornerback ran faster than 1757 01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:44,920 Speaker 1: anybody he's been tracked on the field in the NFL 1758 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,240 Speaker 1: in two years. That's amazing. And at the last, the 1759 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 1: last fifteen yards of that run for a woozy you 1760 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 1: could just look and see he kind of reached his 1761 01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:58,320 Speaker 1: top speed and he was just everybody else kind of 1762 01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,640 Speaker 1: looked like look like almost a movie effect. Yeah, he 1763 01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 1: was moving, he was really going. And I was with you, Murphy, 1764 01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:07,760 Speaker 1: and I'm sure se Quon Barkleys like he got up. 1765 01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 1: He wasn't celebrating or something. He's like, where did he 1766 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,400 Speaker 1: come from? Who? Who was that guy? Right?

Everybody looks fast. Everybody is fast out there. 1773 01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 1: And when you look fast in that bunch, you're special. 1774 01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 1: You're special, Steve. During your NFL career, did you did 1775 01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 1: you wear jewelry during games?

And they scored the goal ahead touchdown. 1791 01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, it's just a blessing, you know, 1792 01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:38,840 Speaker 1: to be able to come, you know and make those 1793 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,680 Speaker 1: plays like that, and you know, I'm just thankful and 1794 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 1: I think the man upstairs. Okay, So here's the thing. 1795 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,320 Speaker 1: I've been talking about this all week. This is a 1796 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,920 Speaker 1: total trap game. Giants look bad on opening day. You 1797 01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,200 Speaker 1: guys have a thrilling come from behind. And when people 1798 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 1: look at the schedule all the way through April stuff, 1799 01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:57,240 Speaker 1: they think, oh, yeah, we're gonna beat the Giants. Giants 1800 01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,519 Speaker 1: are a lot better than they showed against the Cowboys. 1801 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:02,880 Speaker 1: What's the what's the vibe in your locker room about 1802 01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,559 Speaker 1: this game coming up this week? You're fine about getting 1803 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,400 Speaker 1: ready about playing this particular team? Oh the Giants, Yeah, 1804 01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:10,920 Speaker 1: most definitely. They are a great team and you know 1805 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,920 Speaker 1: their stacks and you know the record doesn't show up, 1806 01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,519 Speaker 1: but those guys come ready to play. And you know, 1807 01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,680 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the defensive coordinator and I know a 1808 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,479 Speaker 1: lot of things that they're doing. You know, we just 1809 01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,960 Speaker 1: got to focus and you know, leave last week behind 1810 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:30,160 Speaker 1: their coordinator that yoursaly say his name, Yes, he was 1811 01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,120 Speaker 1: in Arizona. That's how from huh So what happened to 1812 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,080 Speaker 1: them last week? When when Dak Prescott and the Cowboys 1813 01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:37,720 Speaker 1: seem to get all that yard into the air. What 1814 01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,160 Speaker 1: was going wrong you think for them defensively? I mean, 1815 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I wanted to control what we 1816 01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,200 Speaker 1: do here in Buffalo, but I don't know. I just 1817 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,960 Speaker 1: know that that's the team. You know, they'll come ready 1818 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:50,640 Speaker 1: to play this week, and you know we have to 1819 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:55,679 Speaker 1: play better ball this team. You really look good offensively 1820 01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,599 Speaker 1: between the four first half turnovers, I mean, you get 1821 01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 1: that a kind of sabotage your ability to put points 1822 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,200 Speaker 1: on the board in the first half. But during that 1823 01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,080 Speaker 1: first drive when he came out with some pace, he 1824 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:09,120 Speaker 1: broke the formation, started moving guys around. That was I 1825 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,800 Speaker 1: guess designed to make the Jets communicate with him, to 1826 01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:13,840 Speaker 1: make sure they were on the same page and sort through. 1827 01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,760 Speaker 1: But you guys had to feel really confident the fact 1828 01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:18,639 Speaker 1: that you were moving the football early in this football 1829 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:20,960 Speaker 1: game last week. Oh yeah, we did, and we felt 1830 01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:24,120 Speaker 1: real good about it. And you know, there were mistakes made, 1831 01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:26,720 Speaker 1: but you know, at the end of the day, no 1832 01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:30,559 Speaker 1: one folded. We communicated and we talked to each other 1833 01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 1: and we see that we was moving the ball and 1834 01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 1: that we just had to finish the drive. You know 1835 01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,240 Speaker 1: what John would impressed me, and I think a lot 1836 01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 1: of people was, you know, your nickname is smoked. People 1837 01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:41,720 Speaker 1: think you're gonna fly down the sideline, and yet in 1838 01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 1: the Jets game at seven catches, most of them were 1839 01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 1: kind of crossing over the middle right, Yes, being fast 1840 01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:48,559 Speaker 1: and getting open, but it wasn't as if you were 1841 01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,160 Speaker 1: just flying down the sideline. Huh. Yes, most definitely. And 1842 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:53,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just glad I'm here and I'm able 1843 01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,400 Speaker 1: to show that I can run any type of route, 1844 01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, just instead of going deep. I think last 1845 01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:01,600 Speaker 1: time we're talking about this was was early on the 1846 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 1: training camp back at the Saint John Fisher College when 1847 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,920 Speaker 1: the discussion going into the season was who's the Bills? 1848 01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 1: Do they have a number one? That they have a 1849 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,479 Speaker 1: number one? You made plays that a number one receiver 1850 01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:13,840 Speaker 1: makes in that game against the Jets, right over the middle, 1851 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 1: down the sideline. You did a little bit of everything. Oh, 1852 01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:19,240 Speaker 1: we all, you know, we all made plays. And you know, 1853 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,000 Speaker 1: I'm still not so big on the number one receiver 1854 01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,760 Speaker 1: thing because you never know, you know, this week it 1855 01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:29,080 Speaker 1: might be designed for another receiver the step up as 1856 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:31,599 Speaker 1: the number one, So you know, just whenever my number 1857 01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:34,840 Speaker 1: get called, I'll be willing to make the place. This 1858 01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:38,479 Speaker 1: offense with Josh Alley offensive line, it really it turned 1859 01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:40,720 Speaker 1: it around in the fourth quarter and for all of 1860 01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 1: us out here, we saw c. J. Mosley limp off 1861 01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:44,680 Speaker 1: the field for the Jet defense, and all of a 1862 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:48,320 Speaker 1: sudden you started handing it to motor Devin Singletary and 1863 01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,880 Speaker 1: you got made start making some hay in the running game, 1864 01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 1: which set up the ability for you to kind of 1865 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:55,600 Speaker 1: get singled up on the outside, get get lose. I 1866 01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 1: mean things changed in that second half of that game 1867 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:01,120 Speaker 1: when when they lost a good player, you guys kind 1868 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,280 Speaker 1: of hung in there, never let up. The offensive line 1869 01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,479 Speaker 1: kind of took out a game over. Oh yes, um, 1870 01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,160 Speaker 1: And you know c. J. Mosley is a great player. 1871 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,960 Speaker 1: You know, I played with him in Baltimore. You know 1872 01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:12,680 Speaker 1: he watched a lot of film. He know what God 1873 01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:15,080 Speaker 1: is going to be. And you know, for Secretary to 1874 01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:17,400 Speaker 1: get out there and play the way he played as 1875 01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:20,720 Speaker 1: his first game in the league, it was real impressive. 1876 01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:23,519 Speaker 1: And you know the coaches did a great job of 1877 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,080 Speaker 1: you know, designing plays, you know, to get us going. 1878 01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:29,240 Speaker 1: With John Brown Bills wide receiver, we just had video 1879 01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,320 Speaker 1: on the television side, John of post game, You're coming 1880 01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:35,719 Speaker 1: off the field and mat Life City last week shaking 1881 01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:37,800 Speaker 1: hands and slapping high fights with Bills fans. Were you 1882 01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:40,519 Speaker 1: surprised by how many Bills fans were there last week 1883 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 1: and the way they reacted to that comeback win? Actually, 1884 01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:47,880 Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised because, um, it was one preseason game 1885 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:51,640 Speaker 1: we played away and all fans was louder than the 1886 01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:54,920 Speaker 1: Carolina game. Yeah, was louder than the Carolina fans. And 1887 01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, I was impressed by that then, But I 1888 01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:00,759 Speaker 1: just know it like these fans here, they they traveled 1889 01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:02,800 Speaker 1: with us no matter what we got to get to 1890 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:06,240 Speaker 1: the go ahead touchdown, thirty eight yard touchdown, played fourth quarter. 1891 01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:09,240 Speaker 1: The Bills are training at this point. That what sixteen 1892 01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 1: to ten tell us about the play that was called 1893 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,240 Speaker 1: and you had to make an adjustment on the ball right. 1894 01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:16,080 Speaker 1: Josh threw where he did, but you had to kind 1895 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:17,519 Speaker 1: of wait a little bit for the ball to get there. 1896 01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,519 Speaker 1: It was designed for a double move and you know 1897 01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:23,840 Speaker 1: the defensive back, if you look at him, he had 1898 01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 1: great coverage and you know, if Josh would have actually 1899 01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:28,840 Speaker 1: threw it out there probably would have been an incomplete pass. 1900 01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:31,880 Speaker 1: And you know, Josh did a great job of seeing 1901 01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:33,920 Speaker 1: that and he kind of threw an inside and he 1902 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,679 Speaker 1: trusted me, you know, to make that play and defensive 1903 01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:38,880 Speaker 1: back had no help, right, they were blitzing that thing. Yeah, 1904 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,160 Speaker 1: they didn't have no help. And you know, it was 1905 01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:44,080 Speaker 1: just a great inside throw because he's seen that. I 1906 01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,400 Speaker 1: was kind of getting watched to the sideline and I 1907 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:50,080 Speaker 1: was able to adjust off of it. They blitzmore, I 1908 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:51,840 Speaker 1: thought the Jets as the game went along. In fact, 1909 01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:54,720 Speaker 1: in the kind of the critical stages of the fourth quarter, 1910 01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:56,640 Speaker 1: I was surprised how often they blitzed. They weren't doing 1911 01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,200 Speaker 1: it early on last week. Yeah, I guess because you know, 1912 01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:03,160 Speaker 1: we picked up own. Yeah, yeah, I'm talking about this 1913 01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,320 Speaker 1: game this week. You got guys that this is gonna 1914 01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:09,320 Speaker 1: be a different game, playing different different team that you're 1915 01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:11,720 Speaker 1: playing against. All that stuff's gonna be different. But you're 1916 01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:15,439 Speaker 1: gonna go back to MetLife, same hotel, same pregame meal. 1917 01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:17,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys talk about that it's gonna be 1918 01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:19,760 Speaker 1: In fact, three weeks into the season, you're gonna have 1919 01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,240 Speaker 1: been played more games in MetLife Stadium than you have 1920 01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:23,680 Speaker 1: in your own state. You know what I mean. It's 1921 01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,280 Speaker 1: gonna be like your home stadium. It's gonna be a 1922 01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:28,559 Speaker 1: little different for a road game. It's going right back 1923 01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:31,200 Speaker 1: to the same spot. Yeah, I think. Um, you know, 1924 01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:34,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where we go. We just gotta execute 1925 01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:39,439 Speaker 1: and play, and I think we'll be prepared.

Well, we're right behind best seats in therena. Really, 2009 01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:53,639 Speaker 1: I will be able to whisper to Ralph cru whisper 2010 01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:57,759 Speaker 1: to Krueger to you know, to keep you know, Risto 2011 01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:03,559 Speaker 1: off the ice tonight. But training camp they report tomorrow. Hey, 2012 01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:05,519 Speaker 1: we just said John Brown in what a game, you know? 2013 01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:07,960 Speaker 1: And it was the most yardage one hundred twenty three 2014 01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:11,040 Speaker 1: receiving yards, most yardage that a Bills receiver has had 2015 01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:12,680 Speaker 1: in his debut. I want to get there. And I 2016 01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:14,880 Speaker 1: asked John this. And I don't blame him. He doesn't 2017 01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:17,760 Speaker 1: want to say this. But we talked a lot during 2018 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:19,840 Speaker 1: the offseason as we tried to fill our three Hour 2019 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,320 Speaker 1: shows for months about well, who's the number one? They 2020 01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:23,560 Speaker 1: don't have a number one. Is he going to be 2021 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:25,719 Speaker 1: a number one receiver? Should they draft a number one receiver? 2022 01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:27,760 Speaker 1: Why don't they get the DK Metcalf? He could be 2023 01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:29,120 Speaker 1: a number one. They need a number one, They need 2024 01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,000 Speaker 1: a number one. And then there was the day at 2025 01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:33,040 Speaker 1: training camp early in camp when you and I noticed 2026 01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 1: John Brown was by far the best receiver on the 2027 01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:38,599 Speaker 1: field and we got talking about it, Maybe John Brown 2028 01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:41,080 Speaker 1: is the number one. Now, look, I'm not making sweeping 2029 01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:45,599 Speaker 1: assumptions based on week one, but ten targets, seven catches 2030 01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:47,439 Speaker 1: one or the twenty three yards and the nature of 2031 01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:50,240 Speaker 1: his catches not just streaks down the sideline, but where 2032 01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,560 Speaker 1: he was catching the ball to me indicate that he 2033 01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:55,439 Speaker 1: has the look, at least the look after one week 2034 01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,880 Speaker 1: of a number one receiver for this team. And his 2035 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:02,920 Speaker 1: presence there Cole Beasley's targets that he caught, Devin Singletary's emergence, 2036 01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:05,519 Speaker 1: those two tight ends we haven't even tapped into really yet, 2037 01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:09,400 Speaker 1: and really the offensive line and the way they played 2038 01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:11,639 Speaker 1: and the quality of played we got from them early 2039 01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:14,200 Speaker 1: on in their tenure together as that five guys and 2040 01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:16,360 Speaker 1: then within Secy moving in and out of there as well. 2041 01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:20,840 Speaker 1: It just seemed like, wow, you know what we got 2042 01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:23,519 Speaker 1: in the defense, We've got a good team. You know, 2043 01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:27,240 Speaker 1: the Bills have a good football team everywhere. My impression 2044 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:30,200 Speaker 1: was this could work this Yeah, this could all work together. 2045 01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,880 Speaker 1: That defense is solid and certainly they're gonna be ups 2046 01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:35,080 Speaker 1: and downs. And you know, you got question marks about 2047 01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:37,320 Speaker 1: Josh and he still makes a bad throw once in 2048 01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:40,960 Speaker 1: a while, but and they turned it over four times. 2049 01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:44,360 Speaker 1: But man oh man, it looks like we you know, 2050 01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:47,240 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of really really good pieces on 2051 01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:49,880 Speaker 1: both sides of the football. We're gonna compete with everybody 2052 01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:51,720 Speaker 1: that we're line up against this year. And there were 2053 01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:54,160 Speaker 1: times everything don't forget last year and we started out 2054 01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:56,439 Speaker 1: it was a forty nine to three or something open. 2055 01:38:57,120 --> 01:38:59,519 Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, And then next week was the same thing. 2056 01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:03,800 Speaker 1: It was like we couldn't compete. You know, early on 2057 01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:05,519 Speaker 1: it took him a long time to find a way 2058 01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,560 Speaker 1: to get it together. It's a lot different now. It 2059 01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:11,960 Speaker 1: appears that different. I don't want to right, it appears 2060 01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,080 Speaker 1: that way. Yes, I don't want to go. It's one game, 2061 01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:16,559 Speaker 1: but man oh man, we're in such a different spot. Now, 2062 01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:19,200 Speaker 1: John Brown was a good signing, and I yes, I 2063 01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: talked about him before they said no, Well, yeah, I will, 2064 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,120 Speaker 1: but obviously you have nothing to do with it. But 2065 01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy they got him because I think he 2066 01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 1: has allowed to offer and you know what he has 2067 01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:30,080 Speaker 1: to offer to his experience. Now, the Bills are John 2068 01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:32,640 Speaker 1: Brown's third team in three years. Right, started with the 2069 01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:34,839 Speaker 1: Cardinals a couple of years there, last year with Baltimore, 2070 01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:37,840 Speaker 1: and then here in Buffalo and today. Sean McDermott was 2071 01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:40,080 Speaker 1: asked about John Brown and said, that's a factor that 2072 01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:42,880 Speaker 1: might be a factor in why John Brown has assimilated 2073 01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:45,120 Speaker 1: so quickly into the Buffalo Bills, the fact that he 2074 01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:47,360 Speaker 1: has played for a couple of other teams. Here's what 2075 01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:50,400 Speaker 1: John McDermott said about that. John's been at a couple 2076 01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:54,160 Speaker 1: of different teams. So what I love about that is 2077 01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:59,120 Speaker 1: John's mental toughness, his resiliency. He's a team first guy. 2078 01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,760 Speaker 1: So um, he's quick to adapt and adjust his game 2079 01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:09,120 Speaker 1: to the new system in this case. So and then 2080 01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:14,160 Speaker 1: his rapport with Josh really really speaks to his unselfishness, 2081 01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:19,160 Speaker 1: his team first mentality, and I think that that really 2082 01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,200 Speaker 1: bolds well for for the relationship between a Roger's human 2083 01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:25,800 Speaker 1: and quarterback in terms of the communication. McDermott makes a 2084 01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:28,160 Speaker 1: good point. You know, he played John Brown, played for 2085 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:30,519 Speaker 1: a couple of different quarterbacks in Arizona, a couple of 2086 01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:32,879 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks last year in his one year in Baltimore, 2087 01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:34,479 Speaker 1: and here's a new quarterback in a new offense to 2088 01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:36,639 Speaker 1: learn and he's he's gone through this before. I think 2089 01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:38,479 Speaker 1: that's a valid point by the head coach. We talk 2090 01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:40,639 Speaker 1: about it a little bit about a couple of different 2091 01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:46,000 Speaker 1: ways about moving around in different teams quarterbacks. Young quarterbacks 2092 01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:50,200 Speaker 1: are hampered in their development by and being able to 2093 01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 1: play well because they get a change offensive coordinators, change 2094 01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:57,360 Speaker 1: offensive systems, change head coaches, and it happens like you know, 2095 01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,240 Speaker 1: Alex Smith back in the day had a different front 2096 01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:02,960 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for the first five years of his career, 2097 01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:05,559 Speaker 1: so you know he started. But as you get deeper 2098 01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:07,400 Speaker 1: into that and you go in, you finally get an 2099 01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:10,920 Speaker 1: extra you get another offense, You start to be able 2100 01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:15,040 Speaker 1: to experience so many things. It becomes easier for you 2101 01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:20,080 Speaker 1: to assimilate that stuff because the concepts don't vary that widely, 2102 01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,840 Speaker 1: but the words do. And then when you start getting 2103 01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:25,680 Speaker 1: into it, you start being able to pick stuff up 2104 01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:27,920 Speaker 1: quicker because you see, Okay, I see what you mean. Yeah, 2105 01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:30,679 Speaker 1: I understand this, and then you can ask questions, really 2106 01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,760 Speaker 1: pointed questions about We'll wait. Because of your experience, you 2107 01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:35,479 Speaker 1: can say, what about this? When this happens, what do 2108 01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:37,679 Speaker 1: I do? And then they can help you develop faster 2109 01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:41,719 Speaker 1: because you're able to ask better questions and learn faster 2110 01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,120 Speaker 1: about the nuances of the offense. And that's really what 2111 01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:45,840 Speaker 1: it comes down to. Yeah, you can go out and 2112 01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:48,160 Speaker 1: run an out route, but the nuances are this, you 2113 01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:50,720 Speaker 1: run it at this depth against this defense, and if 2114 01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:53,439 Speaker 1: this happens, do this, Oh yeah, I remember doing that 2115 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:55,760 Speaker 1: with another team. Let's go, and then you're that much 2116 01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:59,599 Speaker 1: further ahead. John brown sits there like that with the receiver. 2117 01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,320 Speaker 1: You hear a lot with quarterbacks and how it hampers 2118 01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,200 Speaker 1: their ability to play well because then they got a 2119 01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:08,480 Speaker 1: similar with other teams, with other players in different situations. 2120 01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:12,360 Speaker 1: It actually can help because of their The concepts don't change, 2121 01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:16,160 Speaker 1: but the verbiage does not. Just the philosophy you know 2122 01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:18,559 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Yes, it's it's a weird way 2123 01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:21,200 Speaker 1: to look at it, but I think that has helped him. Uh, 2124 01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 1: come here and say, you know when I get it, 2125 01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,599 Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm yeah, I see what's going on here. 2126 01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 1: And I tell you one other thing I like about 2127 01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:28,880 Speaker 1: John Brown just thinking about it as we watch some 2128 01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:31,880 Speaker 1: of the highlights on the MSG feed. Um what he 2129 01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,280 Speaker 1: scores to go ahead touchdown in four minutes, to go right, 2130 01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:37,360 Speaker 1: first touchdown with the Bills, seventh to catch with the Bills. 2131 01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:42,960 Speaker 1: There's no celebration, there's no dance. I mean he's ball 2132 01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:45,800 Speaker 1: and handed it over. In an era in the NFL, 2133 01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:50,000 Speaker 1: one receivers are the ultimate divas and are wearing jewelry 2134 01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:52,599 Speaker 1: during games. We'll talk about that as the show moves 2135 01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,160 Speaker 1: along here. John Brown scores the game when he touchdown 2136 01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:56,800 Speaker 1: and just hangs on to the ball, gets in the 2137 01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:59,839 Speaker 1: end zone. No celebration. His teammates rushed him to celebrate. 2138 01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:01,600 Speaker 1: He just sort of, yeah, that's a game. When he 2139 01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:04,080 Speaker 1: toucheddown right there, boys with four minutes to go. I 2140 01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:06,840 Speaker 1: love that about him. Like the league is is being 2141 01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:10,280 Speaker 1: ruined in some respects by the way receivers in particular 2142 01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:12,360 Speaker 1: are acting both on and off the field. Look at that, 2143 01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:15,960 Speaker 1: it's it's like he just caught a touchdown and warm up. Yeah. Literally, 2144 01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:17,840 Speaker 1: it's like it was warming up. It's like and then 2145 01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:19,760 Speaker 1: they slap his hands like okay, let's play well today. 2146 01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:22,080 Speaker 1: You know, it was like he scored a touchdown and 2147 01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,360 Speaker 1: warm ups. Yeah, he just turned around. He started walking back. 2148 01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:27,839 Speaker 1: You see two guys running down there. He's like slapping 2149 01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:29,640 Speaker 1: him with one hand. Like he didn't even jump up 2150 01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:32,400 Speaker 1: and hug him. He just slaps Okay, cool man, we 2151 01:43:32,520 --> 01:43:34,800 Speaker 1: got the league. Now, that's pretty amazing. I think of 2152 01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:38,360 Speaker 1: at that moment they need the extra point. You think 2153 01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,519 Speaker 1: of the react and you know, the Bills mafia, the 2154 01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:44,640 Speaker 1: Bills fans everywhere. We're sitting at home all over the 2155 01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,120 Speaker 1: country watching it. And he goes in for that touchdown. 2156 01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:49,760 Speaker 1: The reactions that the fans in Buffalo had, you know, 2157 01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:52,040 Speaker 1: they were all over that. I mean, I was. I 2158 01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:55,559 Speaker 1: reacted at the house. Every Bill fans celebrated harder than 2159 01:43:55,640 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 1: he did. That's a great observation for you. But you're right, 2160 01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:03,920 Speaker 1: it was like, it's really it was like warm up. 2161 01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:05,759 Speaker 1: He turned around and he was slap and they slapping 2162 01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:07,640 Speaker 1: hands like okay, now, let's let's do this in the 2163 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:11,640 Speaker 1: real game. You know, yeah, right, that's amazing. Sean or 2164 01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:15,240 Speaker 1: Nut Shawn Josh Allen talked about John Brown today. Josh Allen, 2165 01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,759 Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback, just met with the media after today's Wednesday 2166 01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:20,240 Speaker 1: workout and he was asked about John Brown and asking 2167 01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:23,200 Speaker 1: about developing that chemistry that they did during training game 2168 01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:25,519 Speaker 1: and how that is carried over to the regular season. 2169 01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:29,240 Speaker 1: Here's Josh Allen Well, I mean, typically you practice how 2170 01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 1: you or you play how you practice. Um, you know, 2171 01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:34,920 Speaker 1: smoke comes out and he practices extremely hard. He's very communicative. 2172 01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:37,160 Speaker 1: You know, he wants to learn every day. He wants 2173 01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:38,680 Speaker 1: to do the right thing. He wants to be as 2174 01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:40,800 Speaker 1: the best receiver that he can be. So say it 2175 01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:42,360 Speaker 1: out there and kind of have the success that we did. 2176 01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:44,479 Speaker 1: It was good to see. Um, still a lots to 2177 01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:45,880 Speaker 1: build on, still a lot to improve on, and I 2178 01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:48,559 Speaker 1: think we both know that. So we're going to continue 2179 01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:53,960 Speaker 1: to just keep working. Completion though in such a clutch moment, 2180 01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that didn't look like it was easy for awards. 2181 01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:58,000 Speaker 1: I mean that has to do. It has to be 2182 01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:00,880 Speaker 1: a lot of trust between Absolutely, I just laid it 2183 01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:02,559 Speaker 1: out there and he made the play. You know, Um, 2184 01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:05,800 Speaker 1: you know he had a lot of emotion after the 2185 01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:07,840 Speaker 1: cash and so did I. And to see him so 2186 01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,200 Speaker 1: pumped up, you know, after making such a crucial catch 2187 01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:13,040 Speaker 1: in the game. Um, you know, it speaks volumes of 2188 01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:15,719 Speaker 1: character that he has. Uh speaks volume of the character 2189 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:17,880 Speaker 1: that you know, our offensive from. Just keep grinding a way. 2190 01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:19,120 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't have a lot of success in 2191 01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:21,200 Speaker 1: the first half, but uh, you know we found a 2192 01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:25,599 Speaker 1: way started three or four of those games, you've led 2193 01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:28,400 Speaker 1: either four or four comeback or a game winning drive. 2194 01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:31,120 Speaker 1: So thirty three and third at the time you're doing that, 2195 01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:35,200 Speaker 1: what's the signifi that you? Um, and I think that 2196 01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:37,760 Speaker 1: just kind of shows praise to coach McDermott and just 2197 01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,559 Speaker 1: how we practice and being you know, so in tune 2198 01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:43,680 Speaker 1: with situations. You know, he throws a lot at us 2199 01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:46,599 Speaker 1: during practice, and UM, I feel like we're fully prepared, 2200 01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, for whatever situation comes our way. Obviously there's 2201 01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:52,760 Speaker 1: situations in football games that are just different and some 2202 01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:55,560 Speaker 1: that you can never prepare for. But UM, you know, 2203 01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:57,640 Speaker 1: coach McDermott does a great job with us, and I, UM, 2204 01:45:57,760 --> 01:45:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, I can't think him enough for that. What's 2205 01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:03,080 Speaker 1: your mentality in those situations you guys are maybe trailing 2206 01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:06,960 Speaker 1: tide and you know it's kind of yeah. I mean 2207 01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:09,320 Speaker 1: just obviously the trust aspect comes in with trust and 2208 01:46:09,320 --> 01:46:12,120 Speaker 1: everybody around you not trying to do too much, um, 2209 01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:14,400 Speaker 1: just getting the ball in your playmaker's hands and let 2210 01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:16,360 Speaker 1: him make plays. And that's what our guys did. Uh. 2211 01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:21,640 Speaker 1: You know, going back to Sundays for sure. You know, 2212 01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:23,560 Speaker 1: I think even going back to when I was a 2213 01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,320 Speaker 1: little kid, you know, UM, I always kind of wanted 2214 01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:28,880 Speaker 1: that pressure, that added pressure. You know, I felt like 2215 01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:32,960 Speaker 1: I performed best in those situations. UM, but you know, 2216 01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:35,200 Speaker 1: having the team around me and having, like I said, 2217 01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:38,360 Speaker 1: the influence from Coach McDermott in the situations and having 2218 01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:41,200 Speaker 1: Coach Dabel's trust and make a call on third down 2219 01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:43,200 Speaker 1: like the one we had, and to go out there 2220 01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:45,120 Speaker 1: and execute it with you know, all eleven guys on 2221 01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:47,040 Speaker 1: the field. That was It was fun to do. You 2222 01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:49,560 Speaker 1: were eight years old when he came into sleep. We 2223 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:52,439 Speaker 1: know about his career, watching them Super Bowls things like that. Obviously, 2224 01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:54,559 Speaker 1: he's you know, had a Hall of Fame career, Um, 2225 01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:57,200 Speaker 1: one of the greatest ever suit up And to you know, 2226 01:46:57,280 --> 01:46:59,360 Speaker 1: I met him at the Main Passing Academy a few 2227 01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:01,200 Speaker 1: years ago, and you know, he's just a great guy 2228 01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:03,640 Speaker 1: off the field too. He's somebody that you know, young 2229 01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:06,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks can look up to, and just as far as 2230 01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:08,439 Speaker 1: how you model yourself as an NFL quarterback, you know, 2231 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:12,120 Speaker 1: he's super respected around the league. That's for a reason. 2232 01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:13,519 Speaker 1: You know, he's played at a high level for such 2233 01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:15,920 Speaker 1: a long time. So um, it'll be fun to kind 2234 01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:18,240 Speaker 1: of match up against him. I'm on Barbara that I've 2235 01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:21,599 Speaker 1: and I get my kids, my boys ridicule me because 2236 01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:23,479 Speaker 1: I've always been an Eli Manning fan. I like him 2237 01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:26,120 Speaker 1: better than Peyton. I'm saying he's better than Peyton or 2238 01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:27,960 Speaker 1: better than the mini quarterbacks. But I love the way 2239 01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:30,599 Speaker 1: he carries himself, loves the way he won two supero 2240 01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:32,519 Speaker 1: love the way he won two Super Bowls. I've been 2241 01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:35,360 Speaker 1: an Eli Manning fan. I remained at mostly because of 2242 01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:38,959 Speaker 1: his comportment, because of his demeanor, and my boys adults 2243 01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:43,040 Speaker 1: now ripped me for that. There's your guy, Eli, Dad. Yeah, 2244 01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:44,880 Speaker 1: I know, I know, he's my guy. I like. I've 2245 01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,200 Speaker 1: never met him either. I just like it, waylay, what's 2246 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:49,719 Speaker 1: not to like about it? Guy? I mean, he handled 2247 01:47:50,120 --> 01:47:53,080 Speaker 1: and let's face it, New York is a tough place 2248 01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:56,240 Speaker 1: to be the quarterback of the football team the Giants 2249 01:47:56,280 --> 01:48:00,880 Speaker 1: are or like, that's a that's a tough job. Yeah, 2250 01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:05,320 Speaker 1: maybe the toughest in football. And he has handled it 2251 01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:10,200 Speaker 1: better than anybody I think before, you know, before him, 2252 01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:13,920 Speaker 1: and he's done it for a long long time. He's 2253 01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:17,360 Speaker 1: done it with grace, an intelligence, and a demeanor that 2254 01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:22,280 Speaker 1: a humility that a lot of guys could really learn from. So, 2255 01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, I guess I agree with you. There's there's 2256 01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:29,360 Speaker 1: not much to not like about Eli Manning.

I think 2263 01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:49,920 Speaker 1: he's He's the man. I've always been a fan Eli Manny. 2264 01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:52,519 Speaker 1: Not this Sunday, not the Sunday asking the question today 2265 01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:55,400 Speaker 1: about the Buffalo offense, what's the most encouraging part? That's 2266 01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:57,200 Speaker 1: our Twitter poll. We should check that what's the most 2267 01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,640 Speaker 1: encouraging part of the Bill's offense? As they had in 2268 01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:01,600 Speaker 1: the week, we got more than fourteen hundred votes in 2269 01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:04,240 Speaker 1: on Twitter already, and it's close, and there's a lot 2270 01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:06,280 Speaker 1: to be encouraged about. Apparently that's how I would read this. 2271 01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:09,880 Speaker 1: Thirty nine percent of respondent say Devin's singletary is the 2272 01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:12,599 Speaker 1: most encouraging part of the Bills offense headed into week two. 2273 01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,519 Speaker 1: Thirty four percent say the offensive line that's where my 2274 01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:19,000 Speaker 1: vote would go. Twenty one percent say John Brown is 2275 01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:21,800 Speaker 1: the most encouraging part of the Buffalo offense. Five percent 2276 01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:23,599 Speaker 1: have something else in mind. Let's talk about it. If 2277 01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:26,280 Speaker 1: you'd like eight oh three five fifty toll free one 2278 01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:29,400 Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or send 2279 01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:31,200 Speaker 1: it a tweet. We can read it on the tweet sheet. 2280 01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:33,280 Speaker 1: Let's do that now, the tweet sheet brought to you 2281 01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:37,559 Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. 2282 01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:38,960 Speaker 1: What do you got on that tweet sheet? There? So 2283 01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:41,120 Speaker 1: now from Chack, he says, you gotta love the contributions 2284 01:49:41,120 --> 01:49:43,599 Speaker 1: of the new wide receivers, Smoke and coal. It looks 2285 01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:45,800 Speaker 1: like smoke. John Brown's showed he can be a number 2286 01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:47,960 Speaker 1: one wide receiver and be more than just a deep threat. 2287 01:49:48,280 --> 01:49:52,400 Speaker 1: Despite the weird deflection, Beasley was as advertised at least 2288 01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,600 Speaker 1: early and getting consistent separation underneath for Alan All, this 2289 01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:59,040 Speaker 1: is very encouraging. And from Tiffany Sheet chimes in excited 2290 01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:01,120 Speaker 1: about the oh line. Actually, Mitch Morse, he had a 2291 01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:03,719 Speaker 1: heck of a game, getting out in front of several plays, 2292 01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:07,200 Speaker 1: leading the way for our playmakers. Coach Bobby Johnson has 2293 01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:09,840 Speaker 1: done a fine job putting the line together, even with 2294 01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:12,720 Speaker 1: a few injuries during the preseason. He makes a good point. 2295 01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:16,080 Speaker 1: They've only they have one game together as a group, 2296 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:18,720 Speaker 1: one game with Mitch Morse. They can only get better, right, 2297 01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:21,880 Speaker 1: provided they stay healthy and there's some things to watch 2298 01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:24,280 Speaker 1: their more still healthy. Okay after one game tie and 2299 01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:27,040 Speaker 1: Seki got a veteran rest day today, but they're kind 2300 01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,040 Speaker 1: of spelling him in there with Cody Ford. But you 2301 01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:31,320 Speaker 1: would think they can only get better on that offensive line, 2302 01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:33,600 Speaker 1: and they were Okay, I thought something. It's right, and 2303 01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:34,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that you don't have to 2304 01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:36,639 Speaker 1: pick one of the ones. There's another And here from 2305 01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:38,160 Speaker 1: Marty he goes to other He said, I think the 2306 01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:41,960 Speaker 1: maturity of Josh Versus last season was the most encouraging sign. 2307 01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:44,719 Speaker 1: Though he made a few mistakes, he looked more comfortable 2308 01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:48,240 Speaker 1: and checked the ball down or threw it away several times. 2309 01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:52,000 Speaker 1: And that's you know stuff. Bill's fans noticed that stuff 2310 01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:54,040 Speaker 1: because they've seen you know, they watch every snap the 2311 01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:56,479 Speaker 1: guy takes, and we get you know, I have had 2312 01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:58,680 Speaker 1: this conversation some of the guys we've had, particularly in 2313 01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:00,680 Speaker 1: the offseason. They go back and they look at the 2314 01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:03,960 Speaker 1: statistics and they make generalizations from that, or they and 2315 01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:06,719 Speaker 1: they look at highlights or low lights from the Bills 2316 01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:10,080 Speaker 1: games from a year ago, and they make generalizations about that. Bills, 2317 01:51:10,240 --> 01:51:12,080 Speaker 1: and we get them to tweet in us in all 2318 01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:15,160 Speaker 1: the time and they call us all the time. Bills 2319 01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:19,640 Speaker 1: fans watch every snap. Yeah, and they you know, they 2320 01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:21,720 Speaker 1: make they you know, they have their own opinions that 2321 01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:25,000 Speaker 1: are to be very honest with there. They're more informed 2322 01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:26,400 Speaker 1: than some of the guys we have on here as 2323 01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:29,880 Speaker 1: expert guests. Many of the fans watch them twice, right, Yeah, 2324 01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I've been I was over in there 2325 01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:38,320 Speaker 1: this morning watching it again, and so they're right. You 2326 01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:44,280 Speaker 1: can see differences in Josh's play tangibly. You don't even 2327 01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:45,840 Speaker 1: have to look at the coaches film. You look at 2328 01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:48,880 Speaker 1: the broadcast and the condensed versions from a year ago 2329 01:51:48,960 --> 01:51:52,080 Speaker 1: to this year, and it's it's a different guy, and 2330 01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:54,840 Speaker 1: it's a different guy every week, and it's getting better 2331 01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:57,280 Speaker 1: every week. He does this, he did this last week, 2332 01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:59,559 Speaker 1: he didn't do that this week. He did this last week, 2333 01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:01,160 Speaker 1: he didn't do this this week. You know what I mean. 2334 01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:04,479 Speaker 1: It's it's really tangible stuff you can point to and say, Wow, 2335 01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:08,519 Speaker 1: that's that's new. The one thing I would I'm not debating, 2336 01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:12,400 Speaker 1: is it Marty on Twitter? Yeah, the maturity of Josh 2337 01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:14,519 Speaker 1: Allen versus last season. I never got a sense last 2338 01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:19,040 Speaker 1: year that Josh was immature or acting immaturely. What would 2339 01:52:19,080 --> 01:52:21,720 Speaker 1: you would you lose? Um? He was a rookie, Yeah, 2340 01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, an experience. He wasn't acting like an idiot 2341 01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:26,960 Speaker 1: like a rookie. But I mean, he hadn't played, he 2342 01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:30,160 Speaker 1: hadn't seen things in the experience. Yeah, that all right. 2343 01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:31,880 Speaker 1: I guess I get it if that's when he meant. 2344 01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:34,920 Speaker 1: But there was nothing about Josh's demeanor last year that 2345 01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:37,920 Speaker 1: I thought, wow, that's immature. Was there? No? In fact? 2346 01:52:37,960 --> 01:52:40,920 Speaker 1: Just in fact you saw last year at times, and 2347 01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:45,040 Speaker 1: maybe sometimes to his detriment, he was he didn't care 2348 01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:47,120 Speaker 1: if his offensive line couldn't play. He didn't care if 2349 01:52:47,160 --> 01:52:48,920 Speaker 1: he was running around all. He didn't care if every 2350 01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:50,640 Speaker 1: time he dropped back he had to hit his back 2351 01:52:50,680 --> 01:52:52,600 Speaker 1: foot and if it wasn't there to talk him. He 2352 01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:55,479 Speaker 1: wanted to win every play. And that's the one thing 2353 01:52:55,520 --> 01:52:57,120 Speaker 1: that stuck with a lot of Bills fans who were 2354 01:52:57,120 --> 01:53:00,759 Speaker 1: trying to get on board with him. He competes every play, 2355 01:53:00,960 --> 01:53:04,200 Speaker 1: and even now I think it's still maybe one of 2356 01:53:04,240 --> 01:53:06,800 Speaker 1: the things that gets him into trouble. I agree. I 2357 01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:08,680 Speaker 1: remember saying that you on the show just about a 2358 01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:10,479 Speaker 1: year ago when he first started playing. Right we two 2359 01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:12,240 Speaker 1: first start last year. It's the best thing and the 2360 01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:16,000 Speaker 1: worst thing. His competitiveness was most impressive, right, And you're right, 2361 01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:18,679 Speaker 1: it created may have created some issues, although he wasn't 2362 01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:20,560 Speaker 1: doing anything crazy when he got hurt of Houston, but 2363 01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, he took some chances because he's so competitive. Yeah, 2364 01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,240 Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing. I think you want 2365 01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:29,120 Speaker 1: you want to really you got a tough, big, tough, 2366 01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:33,000 Speaker 1: strong competitor. He's really gifted and he's really really smart. 2367 01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:35,120 Speaker 1: You can tell in the way he's getting better, and 2368 01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:37,920 Speaker 1: we've all we've seen it. He played He played better 2369 01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:41,200 Speaker 1: in this game against the Jets heavens even in the 2370 01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:43,840 Speaker 1: first half better than he did at times last year, 2371 01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:46,800 Speaker 1: even the first half in this first game of one 2372 01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:49,280 Speaker 1: of the week, and I know you have to look hard, 2373 01:53:49,320 --> 01:53:51,640 Speaker 1: and there weren't many halves worse than the one we 2374 01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:53,560 Speaker 1: saw in New York last year where he turned it 2375 01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:55,760 Speaker 1: over four times. But he did some stupid stuff in 2376 01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:59,840 Speaker 1: some games last year early on. He's still better now, 2377 01:54:00,600 --> 01:54:02,880 Speaker 1: even that first half, and certainly he was better in 2378 01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:05,639 Speaker 1: the second half than he has been so and he's 2379 01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:10,800 Speaker 1: just being consistency is coming around. All that stuff's been in. Plus, 2380 01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:12,599 Speaker 1: you know, all the guys around and we've been talking 2381 01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:14,560 Speaker 1: about the entire the old line, the wide receivers, the 2382 01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:17,400 Speaker 1: running backs, the tight everybody around him is better and 2383 01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:19,800 Speaker 1: that that helps immensely. What do you think what's the 2384 01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:22,760 Speaker 1: most encouraging thing you've seen about the Buffalo offenses they 2385 01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:25,080 Speaker 1: had into Week two?

Because 2411 01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:52,480 Speaker 1: I have to be on the first bus to the 2412 01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:54,880 Speaker 1: stadium at eight forty five for a one o'clock game 2413 01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:57,840 Speaker 1: for pregame responsibilities. I don't know why you're getting to 2414 01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,760 Speaker 1: the stadium four hours before the game. Why do you 2415 01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:03,000 Speaker 1: need to beyond that first bus and off and at 2416 01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:05,160 Speaker 1: the stadium so well, there's a couple of reasons. I 2417 01:56:05,240 --> 01:56:08,360 Speaker 1: think the obvious reason is is that I'm old. It's 2418 01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:10,600 Speaker 1: thirty six now, and I need a long time to 2419 01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:13,960 Speaker 1: warm up. I have my whole pregame routine that I 2420 01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:17,360 Speaker 1: kind of go through. And then number two, I don't 2421 01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:19,800 Speaker 1: like to be rushed. And so the later you come, 2422 01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:23,240 Speaker 1: the more guys that are in obviously the locker room, 2423 01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:25,720 Speaker 1: the more time I may have to wait for a 2424 01:56:25,880 --> 01:56:29,200 Speaker 1: trainer to come open, whether I can get in taped 2425 01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:32,680 Speaker 1: or getting some moved, some pregame treatment, and then there's 2426 01:56:32,720 --> 01:56:34,280 Speaker 1: just more room for me to kind of go through 2427 01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:36,400 Speaker 1: my routine, you know, doing my RDL. I don't have 2428 01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:38,600 Speaker 1: to worry about nobody behind me because oftentimes, are you 2429 01:56:38,680 --> 01:56:42,280 Speaker 1: going to these away locker rooms, they're tiny cramp I 2430 01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:44,640 Speaker 1: mean you've got three or four guys, you know, right 2431 01:56:44,720 --> 01:56:46,120 Speaker 1: up on you, and there's not a lot of room. 2432 01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:48,360 Speaker 1: And so that's really why I'm on an early bus. 2433 01:56:48,440 --> 01:56:51,400 Speaker 1: And then lastly, I don't like sitting around. I hate 2434 01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:53,320 Speaker 1: night games. And so anytime I got a chance to 2435 01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:55,040 Speaker 1: get up, even get out of that hotel, and so 2436 01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:57,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna start getting moving. I want to do that 2437 01:56:57,280 --> 01:56:59,760 Speaker 1: because I hate the anticipation of you know, for one 2438 01:56:59,760 --> 01:57:02,760 Speaker 1: of the feel like Cage's animal or hotel he let 2439 01:57:02,840 --> 01:57:06,240 Speaker 1: get out. It's time to go now. In this era 2440 01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:12,360 Speaker 1: of energy, choose right sport, you know energy drinks.

Yeah, 2443 01:57:17,680 --> 01:57:21,520 Speaker 1: why is coffee the drink of choice on game day morning? Well? 2444 01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:24,040 Speaker 1: I love coffee. Um, you know, I like my coffee 2445 01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:27,960 Speaker 1: serving different ways, but game day with a little heavy 2446 01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,520 Speaker 1: clean in there, it just tastes good, you know. I 2447 01:57:30,640 --> 01:57:33,040 Speaker 1: like a good cup of coffee obviously has a caffeine 2448 01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:35,360 Speaker 1: into it, and it's just become part of my routine. 2449 01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:37,760 Speaker 1: Somebod I've been just deveattled over the years and it 2450 01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:40,280 Speaker 1: gets me going, gets me awakened.

Let me remind everyone that 2499 01:59:57,480 --> 02:00:00,680 Speaker 1: the Browns got smoked by the Tennessee Titans Sunday, and 2500 02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:03,760 Speaker 1: yet Beckham has chosen to discuss this. I'll still be 2501 02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:05,920 Speaker 1: wearing it, he said yesterday, the same way I wear 2502 02:00:05,960 --> 02:00:08,560 Speaker 1: it every day. I go to practice, when I go here, 2503 02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:10,120 Speaker 1: I go there, I've been wearing it. Take a shower 2504 02:00:10,160 --> 02:00:11,920 Speaker 1: with than that. It's just on me. It's a one 2505 02:00:12,040 --> 02:00:16,080 Speaker 1: hundred ninety thousand dollars luxury watch. It doesn't really matter 2506 02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:18,080 Speaker 1: how much it costs, so it does it. The league 2507 02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:21,560 Speaker 1: has no rules prohibiting jewelry being warm, but it does 2508 02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:25,960 Speaker 1: have a policy that prohibits hard objects. Uh. The NFL 2509 02:00:26,040 --> 02:00:27,960 Speaker 1: says the league will address the matter with Beckham and 2510 02:00:27,960 --> 02:00:30,200 Speaker 1: the Browns. They play at the New York Jets on 2511 02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:33,960 Speaker 1: Monday Night. It is a Richard mill timepiece retails for 2512 02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:37,280 Speaker 1: about one hundred ninety thousand dollars. Beckham says it shouldn't 2513 02:00:37,280 --> 02:00:40,440 Speaker 1: be an issue. He says, the watch is plastic, it's 2514 02:00:40,480 --> 02:00:43,200 Speaker 1: not a hard object. Why is this an issue? Why 2515 02:00:43,280 --> 02:00:45,480 Speaker 1: is Odell Beckham talking about it on a Cleveland team 2516 02:00:45,560 --> 02:00:47,640 Speaker 1: That just I'll tell you what. Let's see because the 2517 02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:51,200 Speaker 1: article I'm looking at today Beckham says this. This says 2518 02:00:51,240 --> 02:00:54,160 Speaker 1: the watch was three hundred and fifty grand. Oh, well, 2519 02:00:54,240 --> 02:00:56,200 Speaker 1: then you can wear it. Well, I don't care if 2520 02:00:56,240 --> 02:00:58,280 Speaker 1: it's a buck and a half leaving a locker room, 2521 02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:02,040 Speaker 1: that's for sure. They have lockboxes in the locker room. 2522 02:01:02,360 --> 02:01:04,600 Speaker 1: What are we talking about? How can this be an issue? 2523 02:01:04,960 --> 02:01:09,200 Speaker 1: The Browns Super Bowl favorites. Everybody's a darling, everybody's favorite 2524 02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:12,080 Speaker 1: team lose at home on Opening Day? Did the Tennessee 2525 02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:14,960 Speaker 1: Titans get smoked by the Tennessee Titans? And this week 2526 02:01:15,040 --> 02:01:18,920 Speaker 1: the focus is on Odell Beckham's watch? Really go for it? 2527 02:01:19,040 --> 02:01:25,640 Speaker 1: I'll just there's a president. This is not a new thing. Obviously, 2528 02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:30,640 Speaker 1: the league finds guys for whatever. But for instance, Brian Urlacher, 2529 02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:34,200 Speaker 1: the Great Chicago Bear, linebacker Hall of Famer was font 2530 02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:36,760 Speaker 1: once fine during Super Bowl week during I think was 2531 02:01:36,800 --> 02:01:40,360 Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty two, when the Bears played the Colts 2532 02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:46,320 Speaker 1: in Miami, Herlocker wore a cap A vitamin water hat 2533 02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:51,960 Speaker 1: to the press conference. Well, the NFL has a partnership, 2534 02:01:52,440 --> 02:01:56,000 Speaker 1: long standing partnership with Gatorade, and as a result of that, 2535 02:01:56,200 --> 02:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Brian Herlocker got a one hundred thousand dollar fine for 2536 02:02:02,360 --> 02:02:07,480 Speaker 1: wearing the hat to a to a uh press conference 2537 02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:09,360 Speaker 1: during Super Bowl week. And it wasn't even during the game. 2538 02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:11,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't even postgame. It's like during the week and 2539 02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:14,280 Speaker 1: he wore with a wrong hat one hundred thousand dollars. 2540 02:02:14,360 --> 02:02:16,720 Speaker 1: So now you got this guy wearing a watch on 2541 02:02:16,920 --> 02:02:21,760 Speaker 1: and and and Victa pays the league a nice probably 2542 02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:25,120 Speaker 1: chunk of change. And there they sell NFL licensed watches 2543 02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:30,400 Speaker 1: which is not this watch, which is not this watch 2544 02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:33,720 Speaker 1: whatever that guy's name is. This Invicta is the official 2545 02:02:33,800 --> 02:02:38,600 Speaker 1: watch of the NFL. You mentioned it is a mess, Murph, 2546 02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:41,960 Speaker 1: It's a message that's even being discussing. You would think 2547 02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:44,200 Speaker 1: Odell Beckam might be a little more concerned with, man, 2548 02:02:44,240 --> 02:02:45,560 Speaker 1: how do we get beat by the Titans and what 2549 02:02:45,640 --> 02:02:47,680 Speaker 1: are we gonna do against the Jets unless smoked by 2550 02:02:47,720 --> 02:02:50,320 Speaker 1: the tight Yes, hey, you mentioned that you played against 2551 02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:54,080 Speaker 1: a punter who wore a watch, right, Reggie Roby? He 2552 02:02:54,120 --> 02:02:57,960 Speaker 1: did in college and the pros. I chased his punts 2553 02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:00,280 Speaker 1: around for a long time. Yeah, I chased him around 2554 02:03:00,320 --> 02:03:03,720 Speaker 1: for a long time. Why did he have a watch? Well, 2555 02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:06,000 Speaker 1: there's no I don't know. Just because he wanted to 2556 02:03:06,080 --> 02:03:08,080 Speaker 1: see how long the game was. I mean, maybe, you know, 2557 02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:11,160 Speaker 1: he's a punter appointment, maybe maybe making a good buck. 2558 02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:13,200 Speaker 1: He wanted to check out how long he was actually 2559 02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:16,960 Speaker 1: on the field working. Give me, can't time anything when 2560 02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:18,800 Speaker 1: you're on the field. He can't. He couldn't drop the 2561 02:03:18,840 --> 02:03:20,920 Speaker 1: ball and punt it and then reached out and it 2562 02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:23,320 Speaker 1: was that. But there's an ex I showed you. I 2563 02:03:23,400 --> 02:03:25,400 Speaker 1: heard it this morning and showed you on Wikipedia. They 2564 02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:27,640 Speaker 1: said he wore a watch in part so he could 2565 02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:30,240 Speaker 1: time his punts, and I think, ridiculous. How does he 2566 02:03:30,320 --> 02:03:32,400 Speaker 1: take How does he time his hang time? He can't. 2567 02:03:32,520 --> 02:03:34,960 Speaker 1: I don't just don't see his Physically impossible for a 2568 02:03:35,040 --> 02:03:38,120 Speaker 1: punter to time his own hang time. Yet he drops 2569 02:03:38,160 --> 02:03:40,720 Speaker 1: it with two hands and doesn't touch his watch through 2570 02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:43,320 Speaker 1: the Impire tire. Process. I've seen him. You couldn't. He 2571 02:03:43,840 --> 02:03:45,840 Speaker 1: didn't touch his watch while he was on the field. 2572 02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:48,880 Speaker 1: It's not like he could push the so and so. 2573 02:03:49,160 --> 02:03:52,720 Speaker 1: Wikipedia is wrong. I know. It's a shocker. Did you 2574 02:03:52,720 --> 02:03:54,440 Speaker 1: ever when you're playing against him go up to him, 2575 02:03:54,440 --> 02:03:56,280 Speaker 1: you know, after he read you what time is it? 2576 02:03:56,760 --> 02:04:00,440 Speaker 1: I did not? I did not. Why do you watch on? 2577 02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean anybody else? Do you recall anybody else wearing 2578 02:04:03,880 --> 02:04:07,240 Speaker 1: a wildbody else? Guys were chains. Yeah, maybe guys wear 2579 02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:10,080 Speaker 1: their wedding band under their gloves or whatever, tape their 2580 02:04:10,080 --> 02:04:14,440 Speaker 1: wedding band. But yeah, no, Odell Beckham, what time is it? 2581 02:04:14,520 --> 02:04:15,720 Speaker 1: You know what time it is? It's time for you 2582 02:04:15,840 --> 02:04:18,200 Speaker 1: and the Browns to start playing like the Super Bowl 2583 02:04:18,200 --> 02:04:21,120 Speaker 1: favorites that you want everybody to think you are. That's 2584 02:04:21,160 --> 02:04:24,879 Speaker 1: what time it is. Here's this Steve. NFL TV ratings 2585 02:04:25,440 --> 02:04:28,680 Speaker 1: viewership of NFL Week one games rose five percent over 2586 02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:31,720 Speaker 1: last year and included a forty three percent spike in 2587 02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:35,720 Speaker 1: digital programming. The ratings rebound started last year. We talked 2588 02:04:35,720 --> 02:04:37,640 Speaker 1: about it. All those who forecast us the end for 2589 02:04:37,720 --> 02:04:40,000 Speaker 1: the NFL ratings are down. Well last year it came 2590 02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:43,960 Speaker 1: back strong and it continues. The league five percent digital 2591 02:04:44,080 --> 02:04:47,520 Speaker 1: viewers up viewership last year up eighty six percent after 2592 02:04:47,640 --> 02:04:51,040 Speaker 1: drops in sixteen and seventeen. The league attributes part of 2593 02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:54,760 Speaker 1: this year's rise Week one rise to ninety touchdown scored 2594 02:04:54,760 --> 02:04:57,480 Speaker 1: in sixteen games, the most in Week one in league history. 2595 02:04:57,520 --> 02:04:59,480 Speaker 1: Did you know that I didn't? More touchdown scored this 2596 02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:02,240 Speaker 1: past week than ever before in the NFL's big great 2597 02:05:02,280 --> 02:05:06,200 Speaker 1: matchups two Cowboys, Giants, Big Game, Steelers Patriots Big Game, 2598 02:05:06,280 --> 02:05:09,920 Speaker 1: Packers Bears Big Game. The average game was viewed on 2599 02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:13,720 Speaker 1: broadcast by seventeen point one million dollars or seventeen point 2600 02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:18,120 Speaker 1: one million people and five hundred fourteen thousand digitally. Overall, 2601 02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:20,560 Speaker 1: The league said Week one brought a total audience of 2602 02:05:20,640 --> 02:05:27,160 Speaker 1: one hundred nine million people, staggering numbers. Right, seventeen million 2603 02:05:27,200 --> 02:05:30,000 Speaker 1: people watched the average game in the NFL this past week, 2604 02:05:30,200 --> 02:05:31,960 Speaker 1: and some of it is let's face it too. This 2605 02:05:32,120 --> 02:05:35,880 Speaker 1: is the opening weekend of a season that is the 2606 02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:39,760 Speaker 1: hundredth and it was promoted wide and lawer, I mean, 2607 02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:42,120 Speaker 1: this was a it was a big six month commercial 2608 02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,280 Speaker 1: walking up to this opening day, I mean the hundredth year, 2609 02:05:45,360 --> 02:05:48,520 Speaker 1: and all the special programming that all the networks have 2610 02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:53,040 Speaker 1: the ESPN. The NFL network itself has the special programs 2611 02:05:53,080 --> 02:05:55,040 Speaker 1: that Peyton Manning's doing a whole series of things on 2612 02:05:55,080 --> 02:05:58,200 Speaker 1: one hundred years. So there was a lot of lead 2613 02:05:58,320 --> 02:06:00,920 Speaker 1: time leading up to this what may and people aware that, hey, 2614 02:06:01,360 --> 02:06:02,920 Speaker 1: look for this, look for this, look for this, look 2615 02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:04,680 Speaker 1: for this, and people did. They look for it, and 2616 02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:07,520 Speaker 1: one hundred and nine million people caught some portion of 2617 02:06:07,560 --> 02:06:10,240 Speaker 1: it this weekend. Amazing. That is amazing time now for NFL. 2618 02:06:10,320 --> 02:06:12,560 Speaker 1: True or False brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New 2619 02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:15,200 Speaker 1: York's artist in Cheese. Here we go. This is a 2620 02:06:15,320 --> 02:06:18,160 Speaker 1: leftover from the weekend and the last mention of this 2621 02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:21,880 Speaker 1: but true or false. Steve Corey Vedvick, former New York 2622 02:06:22,120 --> 02:06:25,720 Speaker 1: Jets punter, the third of their four punters, kicker, the 2623 02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:28,360 Speaker 1: third of their four kickers, and since the month of August, 2624 02:06:28,440 --> 02:06:32,960 Speaker 1: Corey Vedvick was the biggest problem with the Jets. On Sunday, 2625 02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:36,960 Speaker 1: you're going true or false with that, I might go true. 2626 02:06:37,800 --> 02:06:41,400 Speaker 1: I might say true. Now that's not to say the 2627 02:06:41,440 --> 02:06:43,760 Speaker 1: rest of the Jets were perfect, no question, but this 2628 02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:45,160 Speaker 1: is a guy that could have won the game for 2629 02:06:45,280 --> 02:06:49,000 Speaker 1: him and didn't. And that's the reason he's not a 2630 02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:51,160 Speaker 1: Jet anymore. So I would say true because it just 2631 02:06:51,280 --> 02:06:54,840 Speaker 1: didn't play a horrifically bad game. Certainly, they were up 2632 02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:58,840 Speaker 1: against a really quality defense. They managed to score sixteen points. 2633 02:06:58,840 --> 02:07:03,000 Speaker 1: Their defense helped him out. But yeah, Vedvik was really 2634 02:07:03,280 --> 02:07:04,920 Speaker 1: when push comes to shove, he was the guy that 2635 02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:07,360 Speaker 1: played the worst at his position for that team. I'm 2636 02:07:07,400 --> 02:07:09,720 Speaker 1: gonna go false and say losing C. J. Mosley was 2637 02:07:09,720 --> 02:07:11,400 Speaker 1: a bigger factor. The Bills were able to move the 2638 02:07:11,480 --> 02:07:13,560 Speaker 1: ball and these are This is not the discount what 2639 02:07:13,600 --> 02:07:16,680 Speaker 1: the Bills did coming back from that deficit at the 2640 02:07:16,840 --> 02:07:19,720 Speaker 1: sixteen to nothing deficit. But I thought once Moseley was 2641 02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:22,920 Speaker 1: out things changed, mostly by the way miss practice today 2642 02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:24,880 Speaker 1: for the New York Jets. He's got a bit of 2643 02:07:24,960 --> 02:07:28,280 Speaker 1: an injury. True or Falls Part two. The Jacksonville Jaguars 2644 02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:33,240 Speaker 1: have no chance without Nick Foles quarterback Nick Foles. True? Absolutely, 2645 02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:37,760 Speaker 1: who's their quarterback? Minshew? Minshew came in with seven for seven. Yeah, 2646 02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:39,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say no chance. I'm saying they have a 2647 02:07:39,720 --> 02:07:42,240 Speaker 1: lesser chance. He got to he's a backup for a reason. 2648 02:07:43,960 --> 02:07:46,320 Speaker 1: But I would say no, They're They're a competitive team. 2649 02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:48,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna be right now. Listen, they were playing the Chiefs, 2650 02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:54,480 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs are really really good football team, and 2651 02:07:55,160 --> 02:07:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, they kind of hung in there with them, 2652 02:07:56,840 --> 02:07:58,400 Speaker 1: but they you know, the Chiefs just had too much 2653 02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:00,840 Speaker 1: form offensively to keep him off the board. And when 2654 02:08:01,040 --> 02:08:04,360 Speaker 1: Fulls went down, you know, Minshew had to come in. 2655 02:08:04,520 --> 02:08:07,160 Speaker 1: But I would say, not no chance. But certainly they're 2656 02:08:07,200 --> 02:08:09,240 Speaker 1: better off if Fulls went in there. So I'm gonna 2657 02:08:09,240 --> 02:08:11,720 Speaker 1: say that the Jacksonville aren't going to give up on 2658 02:08:11,760 --> 02:08:14,400 Speaker 1: what they're doing. So I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna 2659 02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:17,680 Speaker 1: say false. I'm gonna say true finally, NFL true or false. 2660 02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:20,440 Speaker 1: And this deals with the quarterback as well. In Florida 2661 02:08:20,800 --> 02:08:24,120 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Jamis Winston will not get better even with 2662 02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:27,120 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians as his head coach. I'll let you go first. True. 2663 02:08:27,120 --> 02:08:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true. I'm gonna he should have been 2664 02:08:30,360 --> 02:08:33,520 Speaker 1: better an opening weekend. He's had a whole offseason to 2665 02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:36,480 Speaker 1: get better. To think about it, he's a veteran quarterback now, 2666 02:08:36,880 --> 02:08:39,120 Speaker 1: he's been in the league a long time and he's 2667 02:08:39,160 --> 02:08:43,120 Speaker 1: still making the same type of mistakes he's made in 2668 02:08:43,280 --> 02:08:45,920 Speaker 1: his four year, four and a half year career to 2669 02:08:46,040 --> 02:08:48,520 Speaker 1: this point. He's got to get better now. Certainly the 2670 02:08:48,760 --> 02:08:51,120 Speaker 1: highlights were looking sicking on MSG's a little bit like 2671 02:08:51,440 --> 02:08:55,120 Speaker 1: that wasn't his faull of tipped interception receiver falling down. 2672 02:08:55,160 --> 02:08:57,680 Speaker 1: But he's got to be better. He's got to be better, 2673 02:08:57,960 --> 02:09:00,480 Speaker 1: and I don't think Bruce Air is going to be 2674 02:09:00,480 --> 02:09:02,840 Speaker 1: able to fix him. I say true as well. It's 2675 02:09:02,840 --> 02:09:05,800 Speaker 1: his fifth year Jamis Winston. Bruce Arians is a good 2676 02:09:05,840 --> 02:09:08,800 Speaker 1: coach and a good guy for quarterbacks. But I've seen enough. 2677 02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:10,720 Speaker 1: I think we've seen the top end for what Jameis 2678 02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:13,560 Speaker 1: Winston can do for you. A bad decision maker, UM, 2679 02:09:14,040 --> 02:09:17,720 Speaker 1: pretty decent, armed, fremendous athlete, but boy, I wouldn't want 2680 02:09:17,720 --> 02:09:19,920 Speaker 1: to count on him to be my franchise quarterback. I know. 2681 02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:22,600 Speaker 1: I think he will not get better with Bruce Arians. 2682 02:09:23,120 --> 02:09:27,520 Speaker 1: And that's fine from Okay, Okay, there you go. True 2683 02:09:27,520 --> 02:09:31,920 Speaker 1: false brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's artist 2684 02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:37,720 Speaker 1: in chiefs Perfect popped a while and it's been a while. 2685 02:09:38,440 --> 02:09:40,800 Speaker 1: As I got it a break, We're coming back more. 2686 02:09:40,920 --> 02:09:43,960 Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by Klatta Health from the Seneca Studio. 2687 02:09:44,040 --> 02:10:00,480 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Okay, so what do we 2688 02:10:00,560 --> 02:10:02,520 Speaker 1: learned from today's show, we had a good show. We 2689 02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:04,880 Speaker 1: talked a lot about the Jets game, in previewed the 2690 02:10:04,920 --> 02:10:06,920 Speaker 1: Giants game. But what have we learned? We had Field 2691 02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:11,040 Speaker 1: Yates on from ESPN NFL analysts Field Gates from ESPN. 2692 02:10:11,240 --> 02:10:13,440 Speaker 1: He told us what he saw from Devin Singletary in 2693 02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:17,880 Speaker 1: Week one against the Jets. You know, I gotta tell you, guys, 2694 02:10:18,800 --> 02:10:21,640 Speaker 1: he looked like a workhorse to Devin Singletary from the 2695 02:10:21,920 --> 02:10:24,520 Speaker 1: middle of the second quarter on, and not only was 2696 02:10:24,600 --> 02:10:26,880 Speaker 1: it playing a lot, but he was playing effectively. Love 2697 02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:29,800 Speaker 1: the way that he ran a couple of chunk runs 2698 02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:32,240 Speaker 1: obviously a fact during the passing game, which if you 2699 02:10:32,320 --> 02:10:34,160 Speaker 1: go bof and looked at his last season is sort 2700 02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:36,560 Speaker 1: of atlantic. Wasn't a huge part of what they did 2701 02:10:36,640 --> 02:10:38,520 Speaker 1: in the passing game. Part of it was just there 2702 02:10:38,600 --> 02:10:41,160 Speaker 1: one in the football so effectively with him. But yeah, 2703 02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:43,720 Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said for what Devin 2704 02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:47,640 Speaker 1: Singletary accomplished in Week one. There's a lot of encouragement. Yeah, 2705 02:10:47,720 --> 02:10:49,480 Speaker 1: there should be. Yeah, we're gonna talk about that in 2706 02:10:49,560 --> 02:10:51,440 Speaker 1: a minute or two. Also on the show today, John 2707 02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:54,000 Speaker 1: Brown joined us Bill's wide receiver had the big game 2708 02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:56,440 Speaker 1: seven catches, one hundred and twenty three yards against the Jets. 2709 02:10:56,720 --> 02:10:58,360 Speaker 1: We talked about We asked him a question, are you 2710 02:10:58,520 --> 02:11:00,880 Speaker 1: in fact the bills number one wide receiver. Here's what 2711 02:11:00,960 --> 02:11:05,839 Speaker 1: he said, Oh, we all you know, we all made plays. 2712 02:11:06,080 --> 02:11:08,520 Speaker 1: And you know I'm still not so beard on a 2713 02:11:08,600 --> 02:11:11,440 Speaker 1: number one receiver thing because you never know, you know, 2714 02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:15,600 Speaker 1: this week it might be designed for another receiver the 2715 02:11:15,720 --> 02:11:17,880 Speaker 1: step up as the number one. So you know, just 2716 02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:20,800 Speaker 1: whenever my number get called, I'll be willing to make 2717 02:11:20,880 --> 02:11:24,600 Speaker 1: the place John Brown. Yes, sir, Steve, you can kind 2718 02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:28,120 Speaker 1: of get an idea of what the DNA that McDermott 2719 02:11:28,280 --> 02:11:31,720 Speaker 1: says DNA at least once every morning in this press conference, 2720 02:11:32,120 --> 02:11:34,440 Speaker 1: and that's what he's talking about John Brown. And we 2721 02:11:34,640 --> 02:11:38,880 Speaker 1: noticed it on his touchdown. He you know, he kind 2722 02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:41,560 Speaker 1: of almost shrugged his shoulders when he scored that go 2723 02:11:41,640 --> 02:11:44,360 Speaker 1: ahead and touchdown with less than two minutes to right. Yeah, 2724 02:11:44,640 --> 02:11:46,920 Speaker 1: So that's kind of what this team is made of. 2725 02:11:47,160 --> 02:11:49,200 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's kind of echoes that as well. I mean, 2726 02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:51,560 Speaker 1: they're there, they you know, they're exuberant and all of that, 2727 02:11:51,760 --> 02:11:54,960 Speaker 1: but you know they're about us, not me, and it's uh, 2728 02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:58,680 Speaker 1: I think it's it shows once in a while, not always, 2729 02:11:58,720 --> 02:12:00,440 Speaker 1: but it shows once in a while. We asked the 2730 02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:03,040 Speaker 1: question on Twitter today and on the phones and got 2731 02:12:03,120 --> 02:12:05,640 Speaker 1: some Twitter responses. On the tweet sheet what's the most 2732 02:12:05,720 --> 02:12:08,000 Speaker 1: encouraging part of the Buffalo offense as they head into 2733 02:12:08,040 --> 02:12:10,280 Speaker 1: week two? We got fifteen hundred or more votes in 2734 02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:12,320 Speaker 1: and it was a fairly close race. Forty percent of 2735 02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:15,840 Speaker 1: you voting on Twitter said Devid Singletary was the most 2736 02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:18,320 Speaker 1: encouraging part of the Buffalo offense going into week two. 2737 02:12:18,680 --> 02:12:21,800 Speaker 1: Thirty four percent say the offensive line was the most 2738 02:12:21,920 --> 02:12:25,000 Speaker 1: encouraging part, twenty one percent say John Brown, five percent 2739 02:12:25,080 --> 02:12:27,120 Speaker 1: said something else. We got a couple of phone responses 2740 02:12:27,200 --> 02:12:29,920 Speaker 1: that said Josh Allen was the most encouraging part.
