1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: in the stratosphere of normalcy, all right. Ticking it out

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. It's

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: one Mill's live, turning the page. And the players were

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: on the practice field indoors, presumably because they know they're

8
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: playing in a dome. Get on the turf, get ready,

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: and isn't going to be anything of any high intensity anyway,

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: as the main objective this week is to have the

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: bodies as rested as possible so they can recover so

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: they can perform on Thursday night against the Saints. Coach

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: about recovery. It is all about recovery. Coach McDermott addressed

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: the media today a couple of interesting news and notes.

15
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: Stephen A Tasker. Yes, Cole Beasley and Tremaine Edmunds both

16
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: full participants for practice. Now we realize they're not practicing

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: in the normal fashion here on a short week, but

18
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: if it was a full practice, participate fully in that practice,

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: that's right. But if it was a regular practice, both

20
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: would have participated fully, so it looks it appears as

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: though things are looking up for Tremaine Edmunds to return

22
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: to the lineup after a two game absence. It was

23
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: interesting yesterday afternoon that coach McDermott, when asked about Cole Beasley, specifically,

24
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: said he seems to be getting better each and every

25
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: week in terms of recovering from his rib injury. So

26
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: he's on the mend and you know, on the ascent

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: to one hundred percent health again. Oh my gosh, I

28
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: just I just I've been there. Man. You're drag it, right,

29
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: you're dragging ribs. Man, it's a ribs, it's an ankle, shoulder, whatever.

30
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: You're dragging it around like a like a like a

31
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: airport roller bag everywhere you go. You got this thing.

32
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: You gotta ten everything you do. Ah, you know, and

33
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: your ribs. You can't even cough right, sneezing. It's like

34
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: a it's like a catastrophic You have to clear your throat.

35
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: It's like you gotta do it, like and you just

36
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: drag it around for like three weeks until it finally

37
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: it's terrible. It's trying to You wake up one day

38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: and you go for like a half a day or

39
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: two thirds of anything. Oh wait, yeah it hasn't wow.

40
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: And that's how it happens, like oh yeah, there's no

41
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: like I'm better today. It's more like, oh, yeah, I

42
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: guess went away. Okay, it's oh I hated that. I

43
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: hated it. Ribs. You always convince yourself the injury you have, Now,

44
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: this is the worst injury to ever get. It's the

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: worst one. The foot injury. Yeah, you can't run, can't

46
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: That's the worst injury. The ribs. Oh yeah, you can't breathe.

47
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 1: That's the worst injury I ever get. You're all, oh yeah,

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: can't do any of your neck is a real day. Yeah,

49
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: it's yeah. They're they're all bad. They're all bad. They're

50
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: all bad. But things are looking up. As far as

51
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: Beasley's availability and Tremaine edmonds availability are concerned for Thursday's

52
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: game against the Saints. As far as the COVID reserve

53
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: players star Latoula Spencer Brown, no comment on that front.

54
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: When they're on the COVID reserve list, Coach does not

55
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: really make any comment on their progress, you know, likelihood

56
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: of coming off the COVID reserve list today, tomorrow, the

57
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: next day, game day. Nothing. They can't even I mean

58
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, here's the same thing with the

59
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. You know, they never comment when there because

60
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol, they'll be walking around a building. If

61
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: you're on the COVID thing, you're you're not here persona grata.

62
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: So that's that's the difference. They can't even get in

63
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: the building. Um yeah, I'm starting I'm starting to worry

64
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: because I've said and my my, you know, you know

65
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: polypop positive guy here that I try to be. I

66
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: have said that when when the Bills are healthy, they

67
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: got all their guys, that's that's when they pull. That's

68
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: when they play and and plus and we've kind of

69
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: noticed this too. It's got to be a little juice

70
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: in this game. And this is a juicy game. Listen,

71
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Night national standalone game. Everybody's been watching. Everybody's gonna

72
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: be watching. I mean, if you're eating dinner at one

73
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: o'clock or earlier, traveling trying to get to the in laws,

74
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: you missed that Bears Lions debacle, which anybody's hanging around right,

75
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: that's you don't even DVR that if you're a Bears fan. Okay,

76
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: so you so that those poor people, they're gonna lose

77
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: their head. Coaches had to get axed after the game.

78
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand's coming on. They had this thing this morning

79
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: about it who has the most who's been through the

80
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: most pain, and they came up with like this, the

81
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. It's the Lions. They are they they're horrible,

82
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: and they're horrible every year. What about the Bears though,

83
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: they're the same team, just in a better city. So

84
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: you know this Steve you and your Midwest prowess. So anyway,

85
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to worry about this because I've said

86
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: the Bills is that you know, when they're healthy, they're

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: the team. They may get healthy this week, and then

88
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: I got to hope they win, you know, because if

89
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: they don't win, then what am I going to say?

90
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: As mister Polly my positive personnel and just you know

91
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: there it is just to square everything away. With regard

92
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: to Star Latula and Spencer Brown, we do not know

93
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: what their vaccination status is. What we can tell you

94
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: is if they're vaccinated, they can return after their symptom

95
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: free and have two negative tests within twenty four hours.

96
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: That could obviously happen even now before Thursday night's game.

97
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: If they're unvaccinated, they're out a minimum of ten days.

98
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: So if that's the case for Star day ten is Wednesday,

99
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: because he went on the COVID reserve list game day

100
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: against the Jets, so it was seven day day before

101
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 1: game day, the morning of the game. Yeah, so seven

102
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 1: days was the Bolts game. Eight was yesterday, Ninths today,

103
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Tens tomorrow. And that'd be interesting too. Do you have

104
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: put a guy on the field has stepped foot on

105
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the field in ten days. I don't know. That's that's

106
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: kind of rough. That's tough. They may if he if

107
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: he's off like tomorrow morning, and he can get in

108
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: the stadium and he can get in the building tomorrow morning,

109
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: they can run him through some stuff, get him through,

110
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: you know. And plus he's been meeting virtually, he's watching

111
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: the game, um, the install of the game plan and

112
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: all that. And plus you know this week physically nobody's

113
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: doing anything. It's a walk through anyway. So he's not

114
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 1: been missing much this week, but he has been his missed,

115
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, working out. I don't know what he's been

116
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: able to do at home or whatever, you know what

117
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean. All that stuff who We don't know this,

118
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: but he has. He probably is up to snuff tactically,

119
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: knows where's supposed to line up, knows what they're trying

120
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: to do, knows what the game plan is. All of that.

121
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: That's a given. But physically you gotta think, Okay, ten

122
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: days on a couch, yeah, that's a question mark. Yeah.

123
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: And as for Spencer Brown, we know that he went

124
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: on the COVID list last Thursday, I think was Wednesday

125
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: or Thursday, and so if he is unvaccinated, it will

126
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: only be a week on game day, Yeah, he won't

127
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: be back. He won't have a chance to get back

128
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: until the Monday night game against New England, right if

129
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: he's unvaccinated. So we'll wait and see where that goes.

130
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: But no updates from coach McDermott today. He's not commenting

131
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: on people that are on the COVID reserve list. The

132
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: other bit of news, which I found interesting as the

133
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: Bills look for better answers on offense, is Markus Stevenson,

134
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: the Bill's fifth round draft choice, has been on injured

135
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: reserve since the start of the season with a shoulder

136
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: I think he had a foot injury too. Yeah, Isaiah

137
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: Hodgins had the shoulder. Last year, Marquez Stevenson had a

138
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: foot injury coming out of the preseason, was placed on

139
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: IR when the fifty three and roster was assembled. He's

140
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: been there since and today coach McDermott said they are

141
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: starting his practice window, so Marquess Stevenson, otherwise known as Speedy,

142
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: will be practicing or practiced today. He remains on injured

143
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: reserve as far as his roster designation is concerned. But

144
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: what this does is it starts a twenty one day

145
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: window in which the Bills can have him practice with

146
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: the team, and in that twenty one day window, they

147
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: have to make a decision put him on the active roster.

148
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: I think they have an option of putting him on

149
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: the practice squad if they so desire, or leave him

150
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: on injured reserve, in which case his season is over.

151
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: So they've got three weeks to figure that out. What

152
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, Steve, and I'm sure priority number one is

153
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: he's healthy enough to do so let's start in practicing.

154
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: Let's ramp him up. I'm interested to see if there

155
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: is a movement to put him on the roster, because

156
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: if they do, in fact do that, they're gonna have

157
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: to make room for him, not right now, because they've

158
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: got people on the COVID list, so they're lower than

159
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: fifty three. I wonder if I wouldn't necessarily have to

160
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: be a wide out either, it wouldn't. And you know,

161
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: let's just say Star Latul. Let's just say we don't

162
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: know this, but let's just say Star Latule isn't available

163
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: for this game. Spencer Brown isn't available for this game.

164
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: You're below the fifty three man roster threshold. You've got room.

165
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: If you like what you see in practice on a

166
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: short week. Some receivers might be hanging a little on

167
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: a short week. Here's a fresh set of legs to

168
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: stick on the field. Do you give that a shot?

169
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: Do you roll the dice? And not only that, there's

170
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: this Marquez Stevenson is a Shrieveport, Louisiana native. Somebody might

171
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: be very interested in making an impact on offense or

172
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: in the return game, because that's the other element too.

173
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: Maybe you have no intention of really using Stevenson on offense,

174
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: but maybe if you want to return Isaiah McKenzie to

175
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: a more prominent role in the offense similar to last season,

176
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: you can use Stevenson as your primary return man, which

177
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: he was in the preseason behind Mackenzie. He was the

178
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: second guy. Interesting, what do we think about that? Oh,

179
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: chew on it a little bit. It is a pebble

180
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: in the calm waters creating rivulets of water going to

181
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: the outer recesses of my mind. Yes, I don't think

182
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: we can rule that out. He has as a return

183
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: here's this week. If he if his practice window just started. Yeah, well,

184
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: you know he's been been staying in shade, the strength

185
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: and condition. I realize it's not foot wheel football. He

186
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: can't put a helmet on and go out on the

187
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: practic field. He can probably get out there and do

188
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: stuff on the side. Going all that, Maybe I'm getting

189
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: too excited. Yeah, I mean, and a rookie on a

190
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: thanks Giving night go out there first, stand by yourself

191
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: and catch this punt. Yeah, that's that's a big ass.

192
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the kid can't do it, but I

193
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: will say this. Think about it. He'll have his cheering

194
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: section in the stands. There's a team that lacks some speed,

195
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: and what'd you say? His nickname was speedy? Okay, Um,

196
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking he didn't just like they didn't just slap

197
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: that on him. Uh yeah, there's a lot of a

198
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: lot of interesting layers to that, and especially with the

199
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: ISAIH McKenzie thing, getting him back in the offense where

200
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: he's helped and also putting a fire under him to

201
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: not put the ball on the ground in the punt game,

202
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: punt return game. Um, I think this has this game

203
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: has more to do with well, I don't know, man,

204
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: going in on a short week and you got all

205
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: these guys. Maybe you did well. Kumero hasn't played too

206
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: many reps either, those are fresh legs and he's a

207
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: different matchup. Let me just say this. Coach was asked

208
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: after he said got Hodgen still, well, he's on the

209
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: practice squad. Well, I know, but coach, coach said, or

210
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: coach after saying that Speedy was going to start practicing

211
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: this week, he was asked, how soon do you think

212
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: you might consider putting him on the active roster, and

213
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: coach mcdermot's response was, we're looking at everything right now. Yeah,

214
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: that's not a no. He didn't say no, that's not

215
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: a no. So you're telling me there's a chance. I mean,

216
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: and really, when you think about some of the inconsistencies

217
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: on offense. As you mentioned the turnover on the return.

218
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean he fell down. It's not like he didn't

219
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: have good ball security because of you know, a coverage

220
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: player hitting him and he didn't secure the ball properly.

221
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: He just flat out hit the ground and it popped

222
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: out of his hand on a wet day. I know

223
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: it can happen, all right, I get it. How are

224
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: we going with that? There may be some interesting moves

225
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: in this game. I'm finally positive that they're gonna have

226
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: excellent conditions in which to throw the ball. Um got

227
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: out over his skis man, and we're watching the for

228
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: radio listeners, we're watching the Isaiah McKenzie fumble and returned

229
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: by the Colts. All right, So yeah, it could be

230
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: that they've got some stuff up their sleeve, or if

231
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: they've thought, Okay, you know what, let's start moving some

232
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: things around here. We gotta get some more speed on

233
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: the field. We need my Isaiah to be on the

234
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: offense so we can handle the football and stretch the

235
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: defense sideline to sideline at the line of scrimmage yea?

236
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: Or or is this a ramp up to throw something

237
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: new and flashy at the New England Patriots on Monday

238
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: Night Football. Yeah, I mean that's a kid. Yeah, there's

239
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: no Yeah, that's true. Um, I think it's a more

240
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: important game. It's an AFC conference game than this one, arguably.

241
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: I mean they're all important, but they're all important. Now.

242
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: You got ten teams with seven or at least seven wins, um,

243
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: And right now as things stand, the Bills are just

244
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack all this and they're

245
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're at the bottom of the playoff race

246
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: right now. They're the seven seed. You know, they got

247
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of they got a lot of

248
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: games to play, and they got to get some a

249
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: lot of wins. So they are thinking long and hard

250
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: about where their roster sits right now. And and I

251
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised. I mean, they got Hodgens on the

252
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: practice squad, they got Kumeroo on the active roster, They

253
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: got enough bodies at wide out to go in and

254
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, go five wide and rotate those guys through

255
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,479
Speaker 1: if they want to. But I think the marquess Stevenson,

256
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: it may be just as simple as listen, let's bring

257
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: him up, let him start practicing, let's start evaluating him.

258
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: If the kid can play, let's let's keep him around.

259
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: If not, let's get rid of him. And they may

260
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: and they may let they may like him a lot,

261
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: and that you know, I mean they kept him around,

262
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: fixed him, got him fixed up, and let him heal

263
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: up and brought him back. That I mean, I think

264
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious he's shown him enough to hang around

265
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: this long, not being able to even practice right. He

266
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: flashed in the preseason. Let's not forget that any flashed

267
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: in each of the last two games. And I don't

268
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I get it. I'm just saying

269
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: I think I think this is more about more Quest

270
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: Stevenson than it is a big picture kind of thing. Okay,

271
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: fair enough, That's fine. I might be. I wouldn't mind.

272
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind throwing something new out there on Monday

273
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: Night against I wouldn't need it in a couple of weeks,

274
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't either, And I wouldn't mind it if it was

275
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: you know some speed, Amen to that. Uh. If you

276
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: think the Bills have player availability issues, get a load

277
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: of the Saints. Good lord, already without Jamis Winston the

278
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: season ending knee injury. Either already without starting Uh, offensive

279
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: linean Andrews Pete, he's on IR and there are a

280
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: couple others that have hit injury reserve. We also know

281
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: that Michael Thomas remains on the Physically unable to Perform list.

282
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like he's going to play this season at all.

283
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: Their number one wide out. And then on top of that,

284
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: on their injury report yesterday, Alvin Kamara did not practice.

285
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: Neither did starting offensive tackle Ryan Ramchik, and neither did

286
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: tight end Adam Troutman, who is now going to be

287
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: out four to six weeks with a sprained MCL suffered

288
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: in last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. That is

289
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: a costly loss for them in the passing game. Also,

290
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: defensive ends Marcus Davenport and Tanno Passano did not practice yesterday,

291
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: as well as backup tackle Landon Young, who had to

292
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: start last week. Today, it was discovered and NFL networks

293
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Tom Pellaicero is reporting this Landon Young is going to

294
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: undergo season ending foot surgery today. Made his first NFL

295
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: starts Sunday at left tackle. Somehow played over a half

296
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: after the foot injury. I think what the Bills are

297
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna get from the Saints is Taysom Hill tucking the

298
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 1: ball under his arm and running right at him. They got,

299
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: they got. They are down so many players, they gotta

300
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: turn to things like that. Yeah, they got to turn

301
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: to some gimmick plays. I think they're gonna be a

302
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: lot of awareness plays in their in their arsenal. They're

303
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: gonna run the you know, the Billy Special, the Philly Special,

304
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: all of that. You know, you're they're gonna it's gonna

305
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: be hard to They're gonna do a lot of misdirection

306
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: to give their offensive lineman and blockers a chance to

307
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: get better angles. They're gonna hope that the Bills overreact

308
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: and over pursue to certain plays they're gonna. I just

309
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: think a team like that, particularly particularly with Sean Sean

310
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: Payton as their head coach. He's really intelligent, really creative,

311
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: really gutsy. He has no qualms about doing wild stuff

312
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: known as team's going to execute it, He'll call it.

313
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: He's in my opinion, you talk about guys with longevity,

314
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: we've always seen like Sean mcvayh in the with the Rams,

315
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, all these hot shot play called Adam Gase.

316
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: He got the job and keeps getting a job because

317
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: of it. All these real hot shot play callers, none

318
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: of them seem to have longevity except that guy, Sean Payton.

319
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: That guy continues to be the upper echelon of play

320
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: callers and innovators and NFL offenses right but even his

321
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: best play calling has had trouble overcoming all of the

322
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: losses that they have had on the field. Camaries me

323
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: each of the last two games. He is probably the

324
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: only reliable option week to week on that offense right now.

325
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: They just lost their starting tight end Adam Trautman for

326
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: the next month month and a half. He's not going

327
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: to be in the lineup this week. They have injuries

328
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: at offensive tackle, beat up guys there, and with all

329
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: of that, eat up defensive ends, and they've lost three

330
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: straight And with all of that, they're in the playoffs

331
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: in the FC right now. They're five and five. They

332
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: are the seven seas. They're exactly the same spot the

333
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: Bills are in the AFC. They're the seven seed. With

334
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: all those problems that they've had, losing their starting quarterback, yeah,

335
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: and their offense and all those guys, they are still

336
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: in the playoff hunt right now. They are still in

337
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: the playoff picture. So yeah, the guy can really coach.

338
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 1: So you can bet you're gonna get some of that

339
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: this week on a short week. Makes it easy. You

340
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: just put one play and it's a huge you know,

341
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: it could be a touchdown, could be you know, you

342
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: put three of those in and you get a touchdown

343
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: on all of them or two of them, it's a

344
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: huge game swing. In other news around the NFL, it

345
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: looks like the Texans are going to continue to throw

346
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: salary overboard. They're going to put running back Philip Lindsay

347
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: on waivers. Knowing the running back situation here, the struggles,

348
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: the up and down performance, le level out of the backfield,

349
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: do you do you do you put a claim in here?

350
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: They'll uh yeah, they'll wait. He'll clear waivers or you

351
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: think he'll clear. I don't know what he's making. Well,

352
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about a pro rated contract for what seven games?

353
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Can it be that much? I think

354
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: he signed. I'll look it up, but I think he

355
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: signs out of one year, three million dollars deal. Oh yeah,

356
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: if if it's that low, if it's a low number,

357
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: he will not clear. No, he's gonna I think he's Baltimore.

358
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: Grab him for crying out loud and they're like the

359
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: seven running backs right, Um, so yeah, they he won't clear,

360
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, you put a you put a bit in

361
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: on him. And if he does clear and you don't

362
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: put a bit on him, he does clear, you bring

363
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: him in for a workout and you talk to him

364
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: because okay, he can't do it. How about next year?

365
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: You want to sign a deal for next year? You know? Yeah,

366
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I put you on our protected

367
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: list and keep you handy in case we run to

368
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah, I mean that guy's gonna be working

369
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: this next week. Yeah, I think so. He's only twenty seven. Um,

370
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: he's just not playing a lot in Houston. Right now.

371
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: They traded mark Ingram. Now they're gonna throw Lindsay overboard.

372
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Lindsay came over from the Bronchos, right, that's correct. He

373
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: had two one thousand yard seasons in each of his

374
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: first two years with the Broncos. I think he even

375
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: went to a Pro Bowl as a rookie because he

376
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: had nine touchdowns and over like like eleven hundred rushing yards.

377
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: So he had a nice year. So I'm trying to

378
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: find his I'm checking my files right now. So mark

379
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: Ingram signed one year three million. I knew. I saw

380
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: that number somewhere and then Philip Lindsay one year, three

381
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: and a quarter million, So not a lot of money

382
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: for the last seven games of the season at all.

383
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: He'll get picked up on waivers, provided somebody's got the

384
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: cap room to accommodate it, and I think somebody will

385
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: inevitably so he will be playing. I'd be very surprised

386
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: if he clears waivers, very surprised. Just an interesting player

387
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: that's suddenly available, like those kind that kind of a

388
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: talent is not sitting out there on the streets somewhere.

389
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: You have to get a player release like this to

390
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: even have a crack at somebody of this caliber. And

391
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't mind it for the for looking at the

392
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: Houston Texas and not going to the playoffs, he's not

393
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: playing that much. Saved themselves some money and you know,

394
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: set themselves up for some more success next year of

395
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: getting somebody, some guys in there that can really play.

396
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: They've got them. They've got to accumulate all the capital,

397
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: the draft capital and cap space they can to climb

398
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: out of the roster hole that Ken O'Brien let not

399
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: Ken Bill O'Brien left when he let when he was

400
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: let go, just pull the jets on. Wow, how about

401
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: took me back to being twelve years old again, Kenny O'Brien.

402
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: You know why I was thinking about Kenny O'Brien. Bruce

403
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: sacked him seventeen and a half times in his career. Oh,

404
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: i'd probably witnessed. He's the number one guy on Bruce's graves.

405
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: Well that's not a surprise. Yeah. Um, there's other NFL news.

406
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: Matt Nagy reportedly is going to be fired as head

407
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: coach of the Bears after after the game on Thanksgiving.

408
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: It's a short week, you know, we do need a

409
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: head coach this week, so we're gonna do it after

410
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: the game. So happy Thanksgiving, Matt, Thanks for coaching. Go

411
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: don't worry about coming into work tomorrow or ever. Again.

412
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for after the game. You know, unbelievable? Is that

413
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: very Bearsian? Or what you might want to call for

414
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: a car service after the game? Holy cow, Oh my gosh,

415
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe that's it's it's it's bad enough. They're

416
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: gonna fire him on Thanksgiving. After the game. We gotta

417
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: get it right. Though it was reported, it hasn't been

418
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: said by the Bears or any of that stuff. How

419
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: about it leaking, But it's yeah, somebody found that. Wow,

420
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: what do you do. I'm just not surprised at all.

421
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: And then there's this, This just came out breaking news,

422
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: and this was anticipated after the outcome of last night's game.

423
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: The Giants are firing offensive coordinator Jason Garrett after just

424
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: twenty six games in New York. Um. There is way

425
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: too much talent on the offensive side of the ball

426
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: for the Giants to be scoring ten points a game.

427
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: It's just it just his flat out not been good enough.

428
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: They got they got hammered by the Bucks last night.

429
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: Not defensively. Their pass rush was non existent against Tom Brady.

430
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: Let's let's take a guess at how that went, you know.

431
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: And their offense is unimaginative and sae Quon Barkley looks pedestrian.

432
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I and yeah, the Giants are I

433
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe that's maybe it's something that happens in

434
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: New York with the ownership or whoever. But man, oh man,

435
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: both the Giants and the Jets just seemed way too

436
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: reactionary to have a plan that they can stick too

437
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: long term. Well, I mean when they hired Jason Garrett,

438
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: he was there was a lot of questions about the

439
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: hiring because it was thought to be, you know, an

440
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: uninspiring hire. Yes, he had a long track record in

441
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: the league, but he had just come off a long

442
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: tenure in Dallas where they had their own share of

443
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: offensive problems due mainly to him as he was the

444
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: play caller for most of his years when he was

445
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: the head coach there, and hiring him was not popular

446
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: in New York. I can tell you that former head

447
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: coach of a division rival, I get it. Yeah, it

448
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: would be like the Bills hiring Brian Flores as their

449
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator or whatever. I don't know if there's a guy, yeah,

450
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: but it's got to be something. I mean, he didn't

451
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: even have success in Dallas a great degree his last

452
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: half dozen years there. I mean, it was it went

453
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: over like a lead balloon. So it was it was

454
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: not good from the jump. And then when the Giants

455
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: struggled to make progress offensively despite him heavy investing this

456
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: past offseason, So more turnover, more churn with the New

457
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: York Giants, where that's one of the formerly one of

458
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: the most stable franchises in the league. They have been

459
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: nothing but a turnstyle for the better part of the

460
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: last year. The Giants are sitting right now, all the

461
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: way down in twelve thirteen slot with three wins. I

462
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 1: mean that, Yeah, this is a just I think it's

463
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: got to be a disappointing season for them. I mean,

464
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how high high the hopes were at

465
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. Well, I mean, Dallas just

466
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: dropped a game. It was a chance last night to

467
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: gain ground, and I mean they lose by twenty. I mean,

468
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: I know Tampa pulled away late. It was seventeen ten

469
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: game in the second half, but early stages the second half.

470
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: But man, that's just that was ugly. Ye, So heads

471
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: have started to roll in New Jersey. All right, we

472
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: have to take a break here because coming up next

473
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: and appearing earlier than usual for his weekly appearance from

474
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, it is one Kyle Brandt joining us

Speaker 1: next here on One Bills Live, presented by a lot

476
00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: of health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, back here

00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and it

478
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: is time now to uh get our weekly dose of

479
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: one Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football, And I believe

480
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: it was Kyle. I want to say it was about

481
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, maybe four, when the red warning flag

482
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: was sent up, you know, like a Baywatch lifeguard. He

483
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: threw up the flag for stormy, stormy seas a dangerous

484
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: rip tide because the Colts were coming to town. And looky,

485
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: looky what happened? Hey, Kyle, Hey, nice cherry atmosphere in

486
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: Western New York this morning. Fantabulous. It's glad to have

487
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: you with us. Way way to raise the temperature in

488
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: the room here. Appreciate you. Listen, we were right listen.

489
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: We were talking about this Colts game for a month

490
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: and we said, be careful. This Colts team doesn't care.

491
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: They're they're tough, they know who they are, they're finding

492
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: their identity, and we know coach Reich is going to

493
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: do what he does. Here's my bottom line on that game,

494
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not exaggerating. I honestly think that if the

495
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Colts had not thrown a single forward pass, I think

496
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: they win that game. I think they could have come

497
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: out and run on every single play, first down, second down,

498
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: third down, and I still think they win the game comfortably.

499
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw the nugget that

500
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: Peter King went with, but in the middle of the game,

501
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: after they blew it on a play action pass, Frank said,

502
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: we're not doing it anymore. I every first and second

503
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: down for the rest of the game, I'm gonna run

504
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: no matter what. And on the next eighteen first or

505
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: second down, seventeen of them were runs and it was

506
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: just a no contest. And listen, we were sitting here

507
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: last week joking about maybe the Bills could break the

508
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: record for all time players within interception, and I think

509
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: I'll admit I'll speak for myself. Were still kind of

510
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: drunk on the promise of the twenty twenty one season

511
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: and the loss of Jacksonville figure itself out, and the

512
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: lost of Tennessee. Never mind, never mind them. We're still

513
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: on the rockets of the moon and they're gonna win

514
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. This was an unbelievably sobering, emphatic defeat

515
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: on the home field. If you're looking for silver linings,

516
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: it's that there's still a lot of time left and

517
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: that it did not happen in week seventeen or week sixteen,

518
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: and now we can still have some kind of come

519
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: to Jesus or tough enough players only meeting or something.

520
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: But I don't think the Colts would have had to

521
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: throw a single pass to win this game. Yeah, you're right,

522
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: and I think there's no question too that a lot

523
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: of teams and even Bills fans are saying, now, really

524
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious what you're gonna have to do to

525
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: beat the Buffalo Bills, and that's just out physical limbit

526
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, push them around, run the football.

527
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: If you can do it physically, they're gonna struggle. At

528
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: least you know you're gonna get the Bills to try

529
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: and beat your left handed playing physical of the line

530
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. This game, you know, offensively, the Bills had

531
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: three possessions in the first half. They had like I

532
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: think they had a punt, They got a few touchdown

533
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: to go fourteen seven, and then the next time the

534
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: offense took the field it was twenty four to seven

535
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: and it was a two minute drill just before halftime.

536
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: They end up missing a field goal, So it was

537
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: it was a rough first half and the Bills never

538
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: recovered from it, and I know this too. You know,

539
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: you got two guys missing from the middle of your defense,

540
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: and Tremaine Edmonds and Starlo Tulala. You got twenty two

541
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: offensive linemen that are really your your toughest offensive linemen

542
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: out there in Feliciano and Spencer Brown, they're out of

543
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: the lineup. I get all of that. But at least,

544
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: even if you spin it as positive as you want,

545
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: the team's depth is not as good as they thought

546
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: it was. It isn't as deep and talented as they

547
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: thought it was. They really need all their guys and

548
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: they got to be playing well to beat teams, particularly

549
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: teams with a chip on their shoulder like the Colts

550
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: had against the Bills. Steve, When you list the injuries

551
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: and you say I get all that, that's the sentiment

552
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: I identify with, because, let me just speak to the

553
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: Bills fans. Don't play the injury card. That is not

554
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: a good look this time of year. That is the

555
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: lament of the losers to say, yeah, but we're this

556
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: guy and we're banged up. Everybody is. Don't even I

557
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: don't even have to indulge you with the details of

558
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: who's missing, what player you're missing, some linemen. It's tackle football.

559
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: It's almost December. Like, don't go around tweeting and talking about, yeah,

560
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: but we need this guy. I don't care if you

561
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: would have had five Anthony moonhoses in front of you

562
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: and five Warren SAPs on the defensive line. You were

563
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: losing that game. So I don't want to hear about

564
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: the injuries. The other thing is, you know, last Friday,

565
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, I talked about some of the things

566
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: we've talked about about. Look, I think there are two

567
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: things that keep Bills fans up at night. One we

568
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: don't really have a running game, and two we can't

569
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: stop the run. I said that, and I got crushed

570
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: by Bills fans about don't you know we're such and

571
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: such ranked against the run and such and such ranked

572
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: against on defense. I don't care about statistics and rankings.

573
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't care what you did against the Dolphins or

574
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: the Jets or the Jaguars. I saw Derrick Henry destroy you,

575
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: and I've seen Jonathan Taylor destroy you. So the first

576
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: step in solving a problem is admitting that you have

577
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: one The top end running backs, as we've talked about

578
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: for a while, have out physical this team. Do they

579
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: have the manpower. Do they have the power at all

580
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: to do anything? They have the horses. It was it

581
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: going to be a matter of McDermott just flipping a

582
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: few tables and screaming at them, or maybe they just

583
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: don't have them, and eventually in this playoff team, someone's

584
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna run right over them. I hope not. But like

585
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: I said, Brownie, there's still time. We're not playing the

586
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: playoffs tomorrow. There's time. There is time. But what is

587
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: working against them is a five and four conference record.

588
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: They've only got three conference games left to improve that

589
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: to eight and four at best, and two of those

590
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: games or against New England, you don't win the division.

591
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to put yourself in the

592
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: crazy wild card soup that currently eists because I don't

593
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: think you're winning many tiebreakers. There, no, no, And I

594
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: was trying to think, you know, all right, so I

595
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: don't want to just be super negative and be nearly

596
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: In times like this, when the going gets tough, what

597
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: you do is to make yourself feel better. You peek

598
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: at the schedule and you say, maybe we've got some cupcakes.

599
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: They've already played their cupcakes. They have plenty of cupcakes.

600
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: If you haven't done it, Bills fans, don't look. It's

601
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: not gonna make you feel better. Don't look because I

602
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: don't care what the Saints got going on at the

603
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: super Dome. You know, their old buddy Brady Patriots twice.

604
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: It's like, there will be no help from the schedule. Guys.

605
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: That schedule will help cooped you up nice and fat

606
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: in the month of November, and you blew it with

607
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: the Jags, but you already got your treats from them.

608
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: There will be no reprieve that comes from Oh, thank

609
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: god we have this crap team. No, no, no, no no,

610
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: no like this. You're gonna have to earn this thing.

611
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: And look, as I continue to throw out my lumbar

612
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: bending over backwards to look for silver linings, I keep

613
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: coming back to this. You know, last year, I remember

614
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: very vividly the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady looking

615
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: lost at Soldier Field and losing to the Nick Foles Bears.

616
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: They don't even know what down it was. They're like,

617
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: this Bucks team's going nowhere. They look terrible. In November

618
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: poof hit the Bye never lost again. Now the Bills

619
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: already used their by so like it's it's really heavy

620
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: lifting to say things are gonna get better, especially with

621
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: we can't just have Josh Allen do the magic trick

622
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: and throw it for five touchdowns because that's not working either. Yeah,

623
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: let me think that this short week they get to

624
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: turn it around and focus on a Saints team that

625
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get a healthy dosea. I was saying

626
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: this Taysom Hill. If I'm Sean Payton, I'm thinking to listen,

627
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: look at these look at the Bills against these Colts.

628
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: Let's just have Taysom Hill line up at quarterback and

629
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: tuck it under his arm and let's go. You know,

630
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: let's see him run right at him, and we'll see

631
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: if they can hold up. If Alvin Kamara is there

632
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: or not there. If he's there, Oh my gosh, that

633
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: opens up like nine thousand different possibilities in their run game,

634
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: in passing game. Short. I mean, the guy's a difference maker.

635
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: But and I've said this, I'm and I'm like you,

636
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: I spend everything positive, always right, always always, But I'm

637
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: running out. I mean, it's you're running out of ways

638
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: to spend it because this is a game. Now. If

639
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: they come out of this and I'm if they're still

640
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: injured and all that, and they got they're still waiting

641
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: on the COVID list with Star and Spencer. Okay, all right,

642
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: but they're in the they're under the lights. We've always

643
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: thought Josh plays. He lights it up when the big

644
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: lights are on. They got a short week against a

645
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: team that, like you've said, they're Jameis Winston's out, half

646
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: their rosters nicked up. They're going down there on a

647
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving night. They had a great game a couple of

648
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: years ago, and they're gonna be in perfect conditions for

649
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 1: the first time and say, I mean there's no rain,

650
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: no win, none of that stuff. And they're getting healthier,

651
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: not more hurt. If they if they don't do at

652
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: least put up a really good showing down there, I

653
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: don't know how you spend that positive because they got

654
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: they gotta win this game. Like this, it's not only

655
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: just for the win and the obvious the math of

656
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: it all, like they're gonna be trash can if they

657
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: lose this game on national television, if they lose to

658
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: whatever combination of Trevor Simeon, Taysom Hill and like, let's

659
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: not forget it is Steve like the Camara thing, like

660
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: they will just run mark Ingram at him. Mark Ingraham

661
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: could care less. He's seen everybody. He's tough as hell,

662
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: is the Saints all time leading rusher, and he's the

663
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: North South guy that the Bills haven't been able to handle.

664
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: So this is a massive, massive game, and not the

665
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: sense that we thought it would be. Not the sense

666
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: of like they're gonna come to a pinnacle and it's

667
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna be Bills Holiday and Thanksgiving and we're gonna do

668
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: the Turkey Leg again. This is like a survival mode

669
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: like this, This is we gotta have this. We gotta

670
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: fight and claw, and I really listen. I made a

671
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: point of saying this yesterday on our show. I'm not

672
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: jumping ship. I'm not saying it's over. I'm not. It's

673
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: just too many good players across the board, too many

674
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: good coaches, like they can figure this out. My concern

675
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: is is just that all right, well, we are focused

676
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: in lockdown in and we're not nervous and we're not

677
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: giving up. We just don't have the damn players for

678
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: some reason. We can't stop anything up the middle unless

679
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: it's against some some patsy who doesn't know how to

680
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: run the ball. So we're gonna find out really soon.

681
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: I just I'm not giving up. I want to make

682
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: sure I put that out there. Like there's so many

683
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: teams right now in this season as it is, Brownie,

684
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: especially like they're just no one can decide who's good

685
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: or great, especially in the AFC. I'm still riding with

686
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: the Bills, I really am. But I'm disappointed and I'm

687
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: pissed off, and I'm a little bit nervous. Right it

688
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: might be it might be too that. You know, the

689
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: Bills have not shown their ability to be front runners,

690
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: that's for sure. That when they were, you know, they

691
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: come in all the sudden success and they can't handle

692
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: the success. They kind of they kind of take their

693
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: foot off the gas. They show up like they did

694
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. They show up like they did against the

695
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: Colts team. Uh they any on opening Day when the

696
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: when the expectations were so high, and they just they

697
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: give up a block punt to Pittsburgh and it's like, oh,

698
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, if they don't din this game, if they

699
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: if they don't win this this is his first world problems. Yeah,

700
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be a winning franchise every single year.

701
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: We want to be winning. We're not gonna be you know,

702
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: all the things we talked about last year. That's enough

703
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: about the lovable losers, enough about this they feel good story.

704
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: That's all over. You get to a title game and

705
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: you bring your players back. You can't rely on that

706
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: corny storyline. If nobody believes in us, people do believe

707
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: in you, and if you can't handle that, then that

708
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: goes on. McDermott And I mean, I gotta say they

709
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: scored the touchdown early on and digs and knocks do

710
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: the tom foolery with the camera, Like I kind of cringed.

711
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, guys, if this is

712
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: that atmosphere and I know it was electric and Bills

713
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: fans are going crazy, but like this team is punching

714
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: you in the face right now. They come down on

715
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: the first drive, do whatever they want, Like there is

716
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: something to that. There's still some really young core players

717
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: on this team. And as much as we love mcdermoty's

718
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: never been a head coach for a front runner like this. Like,

719
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if these fees having to adjust on

720
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: the fly too, but I think there's something there Unfortunately though,

721
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: if they don't win this game in New Orleans, they're

722
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: not gonna be front runners anymore. They're gonna but it

723
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: might be too late by then. Yeah, um, it's tough.

724
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: Moving on, Kyle. Uh. First of all, programming note for you,

725
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: you may want to keep an eye on the Colts

726
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: Hard Knox program because one Steven a Tasker might be

727
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: making an appearance after after dining with Frank Reich the

728
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: Saturday before the game, along with Bruce Smith and some

729
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: other former Bills uh sitting around at dinner table. So

730
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: keep an eye out for that. All right, I want

731
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: to know the order, Steve, what do we what kind

732
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: of sides are we getting? As Frank Wrych car bloating

733
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: before the game, like some details he uh he he

734
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: called the restaurant. It was a time rest. We all

735
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: had spaghetti palm. So yeah, he was car bloating. Yeah,

736
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: you got to go to a nice Sabarrow or something.

737
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: Class we had we had a bottle now we had

738
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: a little Yeah, that's funny. Oh, Bruce, Bruce Smith was there.

739
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: He brought a bottle of camus. So that was that

740
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 1: kind of lighten things. Oh, it was nice. Yeah, speaking

741
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: of sides, Kyle, in the interest of Thanksgiving week, I

742
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: propose to you what we call the Noah's Ark Thanksgiving. Okay,

743
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: turkey is on board, but you are limited to just

744
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: a pair of sides to bring with you. Just too,

745
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: we're not really counting dessert in the equation here. We're

746
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: strictly sticking to dinner to try to not make it

747
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: too difficult for you. What are you bringing? Well, honestly, Brownie,

748
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm to keep up the Noah's Ark theme. I'm gonna

749
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: rock the boat. Can I just kick the turkey off

750
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: the plate? Is there is there a more useless the turkey?

751
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: I just it takes fifty seven hours to cook. You

752
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: mess it up a million different ways. You got a

753
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: baste and stuff, and so are you going spiral ham?

754
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: I'll go spiral ham all day long? Oh yeah, what

755
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: the hell those programs were eating? Give me a honey

756
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: baked and I'm gonna be so much happier. But to

757
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: answer your question, I'll go spiral ham with a little

758
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: honey glaze. Turkey's terrible. Um, I want to go with

759
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,919
Speaker 1: last year for the very first time. In fact, you guys,

760
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: something inspired it. I made a buffalo chicken dip, theretastic

761
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: and it had a little bacon on, it had a

762
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 1: blue cheese crumble, and I brought it to a little

763
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: get together and people were licking the platter and they're

764
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: already ordering it for this year. They're saying, if you

765
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: got to come to our house, we're not letting you

766
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: in without the buffalo chicken dip. So here's what I'm saying.

767
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: Spiral Ham like it double surfing buffalo chicken dip, and

768
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: that's all I need. Wow, there you go. That's good. Yeah,

769
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: the Ham is a strong call. I gotta respect that

770
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: because I'm yeah, okay, Turkey's fine. You want to know

771
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: why I'm on Kyle's train here is because how do

772
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: anybody in my family that likes ham? I am in

773
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: the dark minority. He raised by Woolf. I don't know.

774
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell is going on, but

775
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, where's the ham there? Yeah, we don't do ham.

776
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: Ham is awesome. Ham is cannot beat pig, No, you can't.

777
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: It's so salty. It's so I'm totally totally with you, outstanding.

778
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you can even throw a little spicy brown

779
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: mustard on there. It's even better. It's literally baked in honey.

780
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you beat back outstanding? You win? Kyle,

781
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: thanks as always. You want to give us a quid

782
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: score on on Thanksgiving primetime game we're talking about the

783
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: buff Wait, Brownie, is this one the third game? This

784
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 1: is the third of the three? Third of the three?

785
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: All right? So this is when this is the unloosened

786
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: the belt changing. This is the trip to oh yeah,

787
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: trip to fan the bourbon whiskey. I think this is

788
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna be an ugly game. I think Sean Payton is

789
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: coaching his life off and normally I give you guys

790
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: some robust forty six to ten final score. This is

791
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 1: a really tight one. Buffalo seventeen, New Orleans sixteen, really close.

792
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: All right, great, well we got it done. It's all

793
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: about it. We're all gonna have odjitive for the rest

794
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: of the night. That's gonna be great, all right, Kyle,

795
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: thanks as always, appreciate. We catch up in the next week.

796
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: Enjoy your highdays. Always fun to hand it up with

797
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: you guys next week. Thanksgiving. That's yeah, okay, that was

798
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: too easy for him. Yeah, that was a lad though.

799
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man Ham, It's like a fight. It's

800
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: a fight. Doesn't like Ham. The only time I have

801
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: a remote chance of getting Ham in the house is Christmas,

802
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: because the argument is, well, come on, we had turkey

803
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. We're not gonna have it again on Christmas,

804
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: right man, Ham is unbeatable. It's really good spiral Ham

805
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: or you usually get it, you know, I don't want to.

806
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to dump on the family. We usually

807
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: get it for Christmas, son, but it is nowhere to

808
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: be found on things. So I'm growing up. I have

809
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: three older brothers, my mom and dad, and you get

810
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, when we're all when when I'm in high school,

811
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: you get one of those in the house. It's like

812
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: it's guys running around that house with forks. She throws

813
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: it in the middle of the table. It's like a

814
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: feeding face, like be careful, back is Stubb spiral Ham.

815
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: You can't beat it. I'm totally I'm all about it,

816
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: all about it? What about Well, we'll get into in

817
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: the next time. I was wondering about because now they

818
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: do like the pineapple ham. Um, you don't need to

819
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: do all that. I don't think you do either. No,

820
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: come on, it's good just by yourself. What was that

821
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: we were going to talk about right at the end

822
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: of the show yesterday? What were we gonna bring up yesterday?

823
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: Do you remember there's no way. Well, Jay, get the

824
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: get the research staff and go back and listen to

825
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: the last fifteen seconds of the show yesterday. Something was

826
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: along these lines that were just about as important. Yeah,

827
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: we'll take a break here, though, and try to figure

828
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: out what the heck that was and come back with

829
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,480

832
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: of the best fans in the league. You might recognize

833
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: a few faces in their tailgate traditions in their new

843
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,440

844
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: didn't see the commercial. I got a bunch of I

845
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: didn't see the commercial bills fans having a lucky PEPSI

846
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: did see the commercial. I did see it. I don't

Speaker 1: know if I'm about it. I'm about it, Apparently I

848

849
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: I think I are good luck. I think I spent

850
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: so much time trying to identify each of the fans

851
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: that you were referencing. I really wasn't focusing on the messaging.

852
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: You know, you can talk to the advertising company about that.

853
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. The can it's right colors, you

854
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: know everything that's awesome, good color schemes. I like it.

855
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: I like the pep the good luck Pepsi thing. It

856
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: gives me, you know what it does. It gives me

857
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: something to go to when things aren't going well. You

858
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: know what, Give me a Pepsi. Okay, you know I'm

859
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 1: all about that. I will try anything, Yeah, everything once

860
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, but if I don't like it, forget it.

861
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: I like it? What can I say? But I'm an

862
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: easy cell. You know that's fair? Yeah? Fair? Uh. We

863
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: do want to get to some comments today because you know,

864
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: we should set the table there. Twitter conversation today was

865
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: what's your confidence level that the Bills will bounce back

866
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: against the Saints. So that's what's sitting on the table

867
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: for you. I did spot a couple of comments in

868
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: the Twitter feed. One of them was from Jake twenty

869
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: percent confidence currently. Injuries and poor play from both the

870
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: offense and defensive lines from the Colts game has me

871
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: feeling poorly about this team this week and moving forward

872
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: in a season. So people are stung by the game, Yeah,

873
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't think even if they were a little nervous

874
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: about the Bills being able to win the game, if

875
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: they thought there was a chance that the Bills would

876
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: lose to the Colts, I will guarantee you there was

877
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: no one in that stadium or no one watching at

878
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: home that thought it would be lopsided in the fashion

879
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: that we witnessed on Sunday. And I think that is

880
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: what has shaken some Bills fans to their core. I know,

881
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 1: and I get it, but I think it didn't shake

882
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: me as much as that because I've seen teams lose

883
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: like that. I've been on teams on both sides. And

884
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: don't forget, the Bills were on the other side of that.

885
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: A week before, I mean just a week before, the

886
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: Bills were scoring hanging forty points on the Jets. And

887
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: I know this too, that when a number of factors

888
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: outside the lines start to, you know, configure themselves the

889
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 1: right way, it really gives a team an edge. I'll

890
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: go back different things. I'll give you an example. Remember

891
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 1: the snow game in Detroit. Rex was the head coach.

892
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: They got snowed out here Snowvember. They had to move

893
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: the game to Detroit the Monday, the game on Sunday

894
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: to Detroit, and they played it on Monday night, and

895
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 1: the Bills absolutely shell act the shell act the Jets.

896
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: It should not have been that that much of a disparity.

897
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: But I know this too, when you like on these

898
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 1: short weeks, these games, or on snow games, when stuff's

899
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: going and you got you got nine thousand excuses why

900
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,439
Speaker 1: you can lose the game or why you should lose

901
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: the game. Snowstorm here in Buffalo. I knew the Bill.

902
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 1: I told her, like three or four guys on the sidelines,

903
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: we're down there. I was a sideline guy. I was

904
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: talking to all the Bills exacts and you know some

905
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: other people you know around Like I said, listen, the

906
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: Bills are going to roll. They are absolutely gonna roll.

907
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 1: These guys. I knew it. I've seen it. It happened

908
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 1: to me when certain things like that aligned like they

909
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: did for the Colts. The conditions was perfectly in their

910
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: favor to run the ball. They had an enormous chip

911
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: on their shoulder play against this playoff loss last year.

912
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: They were healthy, they got an elite line, they matched

913
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: up well, and their backs were against the wall of

914
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: five losses. They had to win. The Bills come in

915
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: and it was obvious that game meant more to the

916
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: That loss meant was more devastating to the Colts than

917
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: it was gonna be to the Bills. And the win

918
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: was just, you know, it's one more game. We're still

919
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: chasing the We're still chasing the Titans for the one

920
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: seed and the Chargers are all these teams are worth

921
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: like the four seed or well, we were the two

922
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: seed last week. You know, we still got these teams

923
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: all around us. We're kind of in the midst of

924
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: it where there's no way we're missing the playoffs, you know,

925
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: so well, you know, it was kind of like that

926
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: because there was no extra giving it and all those

927
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: and then then how the game, you know, the fumble

928
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: and they get out of hand, and the injuries, games over,

929
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: games over early, and I get how that happened. So

930
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: I'm not shaken by a add loss that got out

931
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: of hand when your team never really got a chance

932
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: to get on track. Yeah, So I'm still you know, listen,

933
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: I still think is a really good football team and

934
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: they're really difficult to beat. And I think it is

935
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: going to be a different story in New Orleans because

936
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 1: for one thing, at least, it's gonna be nice well

937
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: and not only that, I think on a short week,

938
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: there's no time to let any other stuff creep into

939
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: your head. You gotta get refocused fast, that's all you're

940
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: worried about. The coaching staff has whittled down game plans.

941
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: It's it's a truncated game plan in a short week too,

942
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: because the coaches want the players to be able to

943
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: play fast and not be thinking too much with a

944
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: boatload of plays to worry about and assignments. So it

945
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: gets back to the bare bones of football and go

946
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: get it or forget it. Yeah, all you gotta do is,

947
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the standings. All of a sudden,

948
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: you're the seven seed and you're not leading the division anymore.

949
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: If that's not a wake up call, I don't know

950
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 1: what it is. That's just slap in the faith that

951
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: that makes you think we may not make the playoff,

952
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: you know. So, yeah, there's no excuse to come in

953
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: and have the same kind of attitude they faced against

954
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,959
Speaker 1: the Colts here in Buffalo. They should be they should

955
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: be handing it out to the Saints in a big way.

956
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we come back. Josh

957
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: Allen is headed to the podium to meet with the

958
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: media after practice today. We will bring you his comments

00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role players for Steve, Steve a blimp.

963
00:51:55,120 --> 00:52:01,439
Speaker 1: We're not even in the stratedere of normalcy alright, Hour

966
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: practice field where one Josh Allen is addressing the media.

967
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: Let's hear Josh's comments on this upcoming game against the

968
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: Saints as a quarterback. How tough is it for these

969
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: condensed weeks for you because there's so much information you've

970
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: got to get through, you know, with only two days

971
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: to do a reality Yeah, I mean you said you

972
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: only have a couple of days and you have to

973
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: kind of fast track third down, red zone blitz kind

974
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: of all into one day. And our guys handle it

975
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: really well today. I think we've got a good grasp

976
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: of what you want to do and and how we're

977
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: gonna handle things. But our guys came in prepared, ready

978
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: to go today. The coaches do a little bit of

979
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: this before he even the poorts game is segment some

980
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: of it. Can you as players ever spend a little

981
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: bit of time like Colts week look at at same

982
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: stuff or do you not? By I don't know, no chance, no, um,

983
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: the only the only Like in college week zero, we

984
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: would kind of focus on week two before week one,

985
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: but that was a week and a half two weeks

986
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: in advance. You know, you can't look you can't look

987
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: ahead in this league, and um, you can't do that.

988
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 1: You look at the tape from this past weekends game.

989
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: Just what are the biggest takeaways from your play that

990
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: you you Yeah, just I mean putting the ball in

991
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 1: harm's way too often. I gotta be smarter with the football.

992
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: We know that. You know. Um, we gotta go out

993
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: we gotta play better. You know, we gotta go out

994
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: there improve and be who we want to be. And

995
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: it's really all it comes down to is just going

996
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: out there and executing playing situational football, um and just

997
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: kind of doing what coach preaches. Sean categorized the mood

998
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: around here yesterday is somber. How would you say the

999
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: team has the vibe around the team has been yesterday

1000
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: and today coming off that game, I'd say focused. You know,

1001
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: you can't feel sorry for yourself. You can't let one

1002
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: week affect another week. You got to go out there

1003
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: and again, I think it's very fortunate that we have

1004
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game that we have to turn our

1005
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: attention to our next opponent, because again, we can't let

1006
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: one week turn into two. So we got to go

1007
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: out there, and we're excited to get out there on

1008
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: Thursday and try to be the team that we know

1009
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: we can be, you know, and that's a team that's

1010
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: wanted to do whatever whatever it takes to win a

1011
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: football game and going out there and executing and playing,

1012
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: like I said, situational football and you know, trying to

1013
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: win a game. It's thrived in the past. It's the

1014
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,959
Speaker 1: underdog team that people don't they overlook. Do you feel

1015
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,919
Speaker 1: that this team is maybe settling into that position after

1016
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: this little stretch right now? Um, I mean, I don't

1017
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: know if i'd say that. I think you know, the

1018
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: players on this team, we work extremely hard. We know

1019
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: who we are as people, as players, as a team.

1020
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: You know, we just want to go out there. We

1021
00:54:58,520 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: want to execute and play for each other and try

1022
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: and win football games. You categorize this game coming up

1023
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: on Thursday win for you guys, Well, I mean, I

1024
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: think every game we play, we look at it as

1025
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: a must win, um, you know, and again we gotta

1026
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: go out there, we gotta execute and try to get

1027
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: back to who we are and what we are and um,

1028
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to go and win a football game.

1029
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: That's that's all we can do is put our best

1030
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: foot forward, try to execute, be smart with the football,

1031
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: and uh go into a hostile environment on a short week,

1032
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: Thursday night Thanksgiving primetime game. All that stuff is, in

1033
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: my opinion, minutia. So we gotta turn our focus and

1034
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: try to execute. It's a dash. You went through this

1035
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: experience just a couple of years ago playing on Thanksgiving.

1036
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: What did you learn from that and what if anything,

1037
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: did you do you take away from that experience and

1038
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: apply to this week. Um, I mean you kind of

1039
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,919
Speaker 1: understand the setting, Like I remember as a kid sitting

1040
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: down on Thanksgiving watching all all three games. Um so

1041
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a really cool experience. And

1042
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: um how everybody's played on a Thursday night, you know,

1043
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys especially, and it's a fun experience,

1044
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: especially on Thanksgiving Day, just knowing how many people are

1045
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna be watching. But at the end of the day,

1046
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: it's it's still football, still the same game that we've

1047
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: been playing since we were little kids, and we had

1048
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: to go find like I said, find a way to

1049
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: go out there and next you can trying to win

1050
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: a football game. Game was a pretty big statement win

1051
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: for you guys, Not that you take anything in terms

1052
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: of you know, how it's played away, but what kind

1053
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: of a confidence go there was that for you that

1054
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys, And maybe would you personally take

1055
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: away from it? Um? Just I mean personally just taking

1056
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: away the type of scheduling I guess on a Thursday night,

1057
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: because I believe that was my first Thursday night game.

1058
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: So just trying to figure out, you know, how to

1059
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: how to recover, how to rest, how to get your

1060
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: body in shape and back to playing for him in

1061
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: such a limited amount of time, and then just kind

1062
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: of learning what type of game plan and usually what

1063
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: type of game plans defenses typically have on a Thursday night,

1064
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, just because it is such a shortened week. Um,

1065
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: sometimes things get a little more vanilla. Um. But sometimes

1066
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 1: defenses have their third down packages that are are pretty

1067
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 1: complex that we got to deal with. So, um again,

1068
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: whatever we got to do to try to go with

1069
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: get a wins. What we're gonna try to do book

1070
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: get the Saints defense. They gave up a lot of

1071
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: rushing yards to Philly last week, hurts they get three

1072
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. Just what do you take away when you

1073
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: look at the film of what the Saints defense has

1074
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: done specifically last week. I think they're a really good defense.

1075
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: I think, you know, they get a really good front.

1076
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: They do some different things, um, front wise, whether they're

1077
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: playing four down, odd diamond, whatever you want to call it,

1078
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: they mix it up quite a bit. They have linebacks,

1079
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: linebackers that are interchangeable, They do different things. Um. They

1080
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: have some some good players in the secondary. Um Lattimore obviously,

1081
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: everybody knows who he is and whether he follows or

1082
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: doesn't follow staff, we'll find out. But they got playmakers

1083
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: all around, you know, that defense. So we're gonna have

1084
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: our hands full and we got to put together a

1085
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: game plan and execute it. Yeah, it's funny, Steve. The

1086
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: Saints defense experienced a similar fate at the hands of

1087
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles at the Bills defense experienced at the hands

1088
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: of the Colts. New Orleans came into the game on

1089
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Eagles as the number one run defense

1090
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: in football. The Bills came in as the number three

1091
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: run defense in football. They both got run over. Jalen

1092
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: Hurts and that rpo running game that the Eagles employ.

1093
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: They ran for like two hundred and sixty something yards

1094
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: on fifty carries, and Hurts ran for three touchdowns, no

1095
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, and they won forty to twenty nine, kicked

1096
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: a lot of field goals as well, and we know

1097
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: what happened to the Bills and after that game, coming

1098
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: into this week now, the Saints has slipped from the

1099
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: number one run defense to the number three run defense

1100
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: in football, and the Bills fell to ninth against the

1101
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: run after just one week. It's a bad week and

1102
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: the question remains is either team good enough to take

1103
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: advantage of that? But the other one, the Bills, You

1104
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: can say their run defense without Starlo Tula, whatever, whatever

1105
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: you want to say, without Tremaine Edmonds, say what you want,

1106
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: they got. They got it handed to him. Now, I'll

1107
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: say this, I don't know. I couldn't tell you who

1108
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: the offensive line is for the Saints, but I know this,

1109
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: they aren't going to play as well as the Indianapolis

1110
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,959
Speaker 1: Colts offensive line did last week. They got some guys

1111
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: and they were they were really good up front, and

1112
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: they handed the Bill handle the Bills. Well, you don't

1113
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: have to play like the Colts did. However, to beat

1114
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: the Bills, you don't have to play that good, you

1115
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: just gotta play you know, half as good, right, I

1116
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: mean the Colts really really ran wild, So that's going

1117
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: to be the question. It's a different matchup. The Eagles

1118
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: are different than the Colts and the Bills are different

1119
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: than the Saints. How these teams match up to each

1120
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: other is the real question, and I think there's no doubt.

1121
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: I think the Bills real I'm just saying this. I

1122
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: know people go crazy. The Bills are a throwing team.

1123
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: I think that's where their bread's buttered. And I don't

1124
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: think they're gonna forget that. So I think that's where

1125
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: this game is going to be. One of loss is

1126
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: their ability to protect Josh. If they can protect him,

1127
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,479
Speaker 1: they you know, you think that the Bills are gonna

1128
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: be able to get some guys open. We'll see if

1129
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: that happens. And on the run. On the other side,

1130
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier in the show, I think Taysom

1131
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: Hill is a huge factor in this game, along with

1132
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram and with or without Kimara. If they put

1133
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: Kimara and Ingram on the on the field at the

1134
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: same time, with Taysom Hill, it's almost like the old

1135
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: days back in the nineteen seventies with the Oklahoma Sooners

1136
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: putting three guys out there and let's say, who are

1137
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna Who are you gonna tackle? Is rough because they

1138
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: got some speed, they got some power, and they got

1139
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: some misdirection and some slide of hand with the quarterback.

1140
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: That's that's a tough, tough run defense, run run game

1141
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: to defend. Right, Kamara has missed the last two games

1142
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. He did not practice yesterday. If

1143
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: he is out of the equation, I think the Saints

1144
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: become infinitely easier to defend. M not saying that you

1145
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: should get complacent because of that, but they are easier

1146
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: to defend. I don't think there's any question about that.

1147
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: With his versatile player as he is speaking of defending

1148
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: the Saints. We're gonna check in now with Jordan Poyer,

1149
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: who is addressing the media after practice today. You know,

1150
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: obviously not the result we wanted. Um, you know, and uh,

1151
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: it's twenty four hour rule, you know, and in this league,

1152
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: we're lucky enough to have a short week and be

1153
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: able to play on Thursday night, and you know, we

1154
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: gotta play well in order to to beat the Saints.

1155
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: And you know, Yeah, nobody wants to lose, especially in

1156
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: the fact that we did. But you know, I have

1157
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: to find ways as a as a team, um to

1158
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: move forward and continue to tell you to push, continue

1159
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: to find ways to get better. And Ingram are both

1160
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: very different types of players type right. You know, we

1161
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: don't know that Kamar is gonna go. How do you

1162
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: prepare for two guys that are so different but you

1163
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: know could ultimately be the future guy if one of

1164
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: them isn't ready? Yeah, exactly. You know both uh both

1165
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: very explosive, very electric, uh, ball in their hands, and

1166
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: I think it's just come back down to fundamentals. Uh,

1167
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, taking good angles, um, you know, everybody doing

1168
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: their one eleventh you know, being gaps sound um and

1169
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: taking good angles and rallying to the football. You know,

1170
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: we try to talk about not having one on one tackles.

1171
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: Uh so just everybody running to the football and and uh,

1172
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: you know it takes scare a lot of things. Based

1173
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: on that which you just said, does it really not

1174
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: matter them? Do you prepare the same for two different Yeah?

1175
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: You know, um, you see the you see how you

1176
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: know their offense was when Kamara wasn't wasn't there and

1177
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, it was similar. They did a lot

1178
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: of similar things with uh with ingram Um, so obviously

1179
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: with with Kamar back in there, you know they probably

1180
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: have they probably have some wrinkles in there. But uh,

1181
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, we gotta do us

1182
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: and we gotta do us better. Everybody got to do

1183
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: their one eleventh and and rallying to the football. Like

1184
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: I said, his offense has been hamburged with injuries so

1185
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: far less steven season. Obviously at quarterback it's been Trevor

1186
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Simeon lately. Just what do you what do you see

1187
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: from him? And make over what he's done when he

1188
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: was after he was named the starter. Yeah, I mean

1189
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: I remember playing him. I think it was my first

1190
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: year here and uh in Buffalo. You gotta be so loud, bro. Uh,

1191
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I remember playing him my first year in Buffalo, and

1192
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he's he's he's grown a lot

1193
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: more since since playing him. You know, I think uh

1194
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: obviously has a couple of throws. I'm sure he wishes

1195
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: he had back, but you know, he's he's been putting

1196
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: the ball in spots where his receivers can make plays,

1197
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know he's running the offense you know

1198
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: pretty well. Um, and you know, as say it's it's

1199
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: it's really good offense. That he's got weapons around him,

1200
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, get the ball in his playmaker's hands and

1201
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: and let them do the work. That's uh so. But

1202
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's he's you can see his confidence

1203
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: in the offense has grown, you know, a lot more

1204
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: as the games has progressed a couple of years ago.

1205
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, you guys had this similar

1206
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: experience playing on Thanksgiving. You went to Dallas and had

1207
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: a pretty big win. Um. Is there anything that you

1208
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: can take away from that experience and apply it to

1209
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: this week? I mean, you know, like I said, it's

1210
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: it's a short week. So you know we're able to

1211
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: forget um and and move forward. I thought we had

1212
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: a really good day practice today. Energy was high, um,

1213
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: and you know we're excited for the opportunity to play

1214
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. You know it's a new new year, new

1215
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: uh new team. I think when it was that was

1216
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: two years ago when we do with Dallas. Uh so, Um,

1217
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: you know we gotta come ready to play. You know,

1218
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: it's a it's a special night, you know, extremely blessed

1219
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: to be able to have the opportunity to play in

1220
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: a game like this, you know, growing up, it's a

1221
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: game that you know, family got together. We're watching every

1222
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: single night. Um, you know, everybody's watching. So we're excited

1223
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: for the opportunity. And uh, I mean that's about it.

1224
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: You're running backs, especially tom our other way they get

1225
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: him out of the play you know, hide my grammy. Yeah,

1226
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: to play, but they have people who are good and

1227
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,439
Speaker 1: we're running back receivers that maybe something they do better

1228
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: than a lot of them. Oh yeah, it is something

1229
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: they do better. It's extremely challenging. Uh you know, Kamara

1230
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: running a lot of option routes out of the backfield,

1231
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: a couple of wheel routes out of the backfield, and

1232
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, he just uh you know, he creates problems, uh,

1233
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: you know on that side of the football. So it's uh,

1234
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're definitely gonna have to play extremely well,

1235
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 1: um and communicate extremely well. Uh. Like I said, we

1236
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: had a great day of practice today, prep Um, feel

1237
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 1: really good about the game plan and going into the game.

1238
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, it's a good football team. It's uh,

1239
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, we're a good football team. So we're excited

1240
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: for play. But kind of going back to that Thanksgiving

1241
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: game a couple of years ago, I mean that was

1242
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: just such a boost for you guys. I guess just

1243
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: what would have win primetime Thanksgiving get back on the

1244
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: right track, Like what can that do? Yeah? I mean,

1245
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, I could do a lot. You know. At

1246
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: the same time, we gotta we gotta get that win first, uh.

1247
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: And in order to do that, we got to continue

1248
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: to wear continue to UK throughout these next couple of days.

1249
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: And um, you know it's nobody says it's gonna be easy.

1250
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta go out there and play well

1251
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: to win. Um. And then I think we'll talk about that.

1252
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: You asked me that question after the game. It thrived

1253
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: over the years of when people started to doubt you

1254
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: and being the underdog. Do you get any sense that

1255
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: that's creeping in it and you guys can can latch

1256
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: onto it. Yeah, I mean that's a you know, I

1257
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: think I think for me, I know, personally going into

1258
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: every game, that's how I feel. And I know there's

1259
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on the football team that feel

1260
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: that personally going in every game, whether you know we're

1261
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: thought this or the other. So um, you know, I

1262
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 1: definitely definitely feel like, um, you know we could use that,

1263
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: um that people are counting this out and you know,

1264
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: who cares. Let's go out there and do us do

1265
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,919
Speaker 1: us better? Um and you know, play like play life.

1266
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 1: We know how to play. Thanks guys, all right, it's

1267
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Poy're addressing the game upcoming. He was also where

1268
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: asked about whether any doubt is creeping in now that

1269
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: the Bills have dropped three of their last five games.

1270
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: He seemed to dismiss that, I think they still believe

1271
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: they're a good team, but it's put up her shut

1272
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: up time. Now. Yeah, you guys start winning on a

1273
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: consistent basis here, no doubt there. You're at a mulligans. Yeah,

1274
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: it's they're running out of it and they got still

1275
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: got you know, seven games to go. But um, they're

1276
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: important games, and they're they're really important. And he said,

1277
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: and there was a little bit of that, you know,

1278
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: people are starting to count us out now that we

1279
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: drive you know, and that kind of thing. So there's

1280
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of that grit in there where you know,

1281
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: it's us against the world again, where you know, last

1282
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: week they were sitting on the shoulders of the world right,

1283
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: they were getting like, you guys are the greatest thing ever.

1284
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, everybody's thrown them to the

1285
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: curve and they feel that, and that's I think they

1286
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: play everybody does. Everybody plays better when you're when you're

1287
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: an afterthought or where everybody's counting you out, and when

1288
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: you know nobody thinks you should win or could win.

1289
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: It's always a better place to compete from. So we'll

1290
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: see if they can dredge that up. We'll see. I'm optimistic.

1291
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think. I think with no chance for

1292
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: any distractions to creep in on a short week, and

1293
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff presumably keeping it relatively simple with

1294
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: respect to game plan, I think they just go out

1295
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: and play. And really that's kind of what they need

1296
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: to do, almost to clear their heads a little bit,

1297
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, just go out and

1298
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: play a game. Stop thinking, Just go play. I mean,

1299
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 1: the funny thing about it is, you think back. I

1300
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: can't even remember the Jet game. Now. They crushed those guys, right,

1301
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't even competitive, and that game is like that

1302
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter. You know, it's so irrelevant right now

1303
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:36,640
Speaker 1: because you know that it was and they go out

1304
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: because they because they lay an egg in the opposite

1305
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: direction the next week, it wipes out a really good

1306
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: performance that where they were at two weeks ago. And

1307
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: that's just you know, that was a bounce back game too.

1308
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can bounce back in a short

1309
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: week like they did against get to the Jets. I

1310
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: don't know. Motivation is the critical factor when you're talking

1311
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: about pro athletes, and it's got to come from within.

1312
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: And these guys compete better when they feel like they're

1313
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: the underdog. I think it's almost almost an absolute given

1314
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: rule around the league. I mean I remember you remember back,

1315
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, two or three years ago, the Patriots were saying, like,

1316
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,679
Speaker 1: you know, nobody thinks we can do. You know, they're

1317
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,839
Speaker 1: defending world champions and they're pulling this stuff like everybody's

1318
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: counting us out. I'm like, shut up, you know, but

1319
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: that's the way players do it. You know. Thurman used

1320
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,720
Speaker 1: to do that. Thurman Thommy, your other great competitors have

1321
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: always done that. They've always used slights by whoever to

1322
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: stoke the fires of their competitive competitor. Thurman Thomas, you know,

1323
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: got competitive because somebody said he was the greatest all

1324
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: around running back in the league. He construed that as

1325
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: an insult, and I have a little Michael Jordan esque, right,

1326
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: so how you know? And I te you thir, I'm like,

1327
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: come on, man, But he did it. And that's the way. Hey,

1328
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: if you can do it, do it. And they the

1329
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: great ones can They can do it. They can turn

1330
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: it all on his head. And even when they're riding

1331
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: high on the on the crest of the wave with

1332
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: so much success, they can always turn themselves into an

1333
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: underdog somehow, some way. You know. You look at look

1334
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: across the look at Ben Roethlisberger. He's notorious for doing that.

1335
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: He'll come in late in the week on Friday and

1336
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: he'll have some made up ailment like he shouldn't even

1337
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 1: be playing, you know, so he can pull a Willis

1338
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: Reid and limp out of the tunnel and throw for

1339
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 1: three fifty and win the game. That's just something you needed.

1340
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: Some guys need to do, and some guys carry it

1341
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: to ridiculous levels. There's a little bit of that. And

1342
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: what Jordan Porry was talking about today, he said, Yeah,

1343
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: after that loss, you know, you kind of get a

1344
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,560
Speaker 1: chip on your shoulder. Everybody thinks you stink, you know,

1345
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: and you're unworthy of their of any good things they've

1346
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: said about you because you had a bad game or

1347
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: a bad loss. So that's an easy way to let

1348
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: an easy thing to latch onto for players and get

1349
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: some competitive fire out of it. Yeah, break time for

1350
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 1: us here. When we come back, we'll have one Stefan

1351
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: Dick addressing the media after practice today. Be interested to

1352
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: get his thoughts heading into this one against the stats.

1353
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: A couple of good corners down there, so we'll see

1354
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: what he has in store for them next. Here on

1355
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: one Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, it's Buffalo

Speaker 1: of course the ninety Bills went to Super Bowl twenty five.

1368
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 1: That is correct. We have to turn now though to

1369
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: the comments of one Stefan Diggs as he is addressing

1370
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 1: the media post practice today. But we had a short,

1371
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: short week, Um, Canmedy do too much? When you got

1372
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: this show? We you don't have the twenty four hours

1373
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: that you would typically have him in your games on

1374
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 1: next Sunday. Kind of got to just get over it,

1375
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like less than twenty four hours,

1376
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: twelve hours of really socaing. Okay, we did some good

1377
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: things to get some bad things. Take what you took

1378
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 1: from the game and trying to just carried over to

1379
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: this week and trying to trying to capitalize. We didn't

1380
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: finish that word in a raizone. We had some turnover.

1381
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: So trying to just protect the ball and do the

1382
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: little things get back to being using that's gonna be

1383
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: the keys of victory. Obviously, you played Latimer and the

1384
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: good secondary just kind of what stands out about their

1385
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Cannon and the shit h he one of the best

1386
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 1: corners in the league. They've been had some of the

1387
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: best back in for a while now. They they're well coached,

1388
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: they got great athletes, So it's definitely gonna be a

1389
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: challenge for us as usual. You know, week the week

1390
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: we get I get Tallengeeason every week. I get the

1391
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: best guys every week. And it's not it's never to

1392
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: no surprise, So something that we all look forward to.

1393
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: Expressing myself and you're just trying to come out with

1394
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 1: a win. A lot of the guys have been saying

1395
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: similar things about the belief in this team and that

1396
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: you know, it's strong, that this is a solid team,

1397
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: and that the recent results are not reflective of the

1398
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 1: team that you are. Knowing that you've got the national stage.

1399
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm thanksgiving with the opportunity to prove that is. You

1400
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: know how big of an opportunity is this for this

1401
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: team to kind of, you know, reinforce that notion to

1402
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: everyone else outside I mean it's for me personally. It's

1403
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: not nothing that you reinforced to anybody else. You reinforce

1404
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: it to yourself as far as like you believe in

1405
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: in yourself and Um, it needs to translate. I'm saying.

1406
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: As far as like changing the narrative of everybody else,

1407
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: it's a week the week league. They love you and

1408
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 1: then they hate you, So it's not something that you

1409
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: can get called up in. But as far as like

1410
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: personally and yourself and your team, you want to win.

1411
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: So to get back into swinging things and get back

1412
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: in the win column is always gonna be good, I'm saying.

1413
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: And that's the only way that you can kind of

1414
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: get the ball room is by stacking wins, not getting close.

1415
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: So um, in my opinion, it's not there's so much

1416
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: changing the narrative for everybody else, because I mean, everybody

1417
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: else doesn't come to practice with you, everybody else doesn't

1418
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: watch watch tape with you. They just you know, see

1419
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 1: the ending results. So for us, get back to being

1420
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: us and just you know, grinding out, grinding out wins

1421
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: the way we know how and playing our type of football. So, um,

1422
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 1: that's what. Yeah, that's how I feel. Afterwards, Josh said,

1423
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: maybe he needs to start forcing the ball your direction.

1424
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: You understand how unselfish you've been, Yeah, all year, But

1425
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: is there some sort of a balance there between maybe

1426
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 1: trying to get you going a little bit more. Um,

1427
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean in mys I'm trying to be the best

1428
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: teammate that I could be, trying to be the best

1429
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: receiver I can be. And as a receiver, like I said,

1430
01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:59,600
Speaker 1: you need a lot of things to go right, and

1431
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: when things go right, of course you're going on the ball.

1432
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: But for me in a situation, I am now like uh,

1433
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:06,639
Speaker 1: I kind of said it a couple of weeks ago

1434
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 1: that I kind I know who I am, I know

1435
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: what I can do. Um, And I proved it already.

1436
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Say I'm not a good I don't really live in

1437
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: the past too much. But I want to be that

1438
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:18,560
Speaker 1: spark for my team and I want to be the

1439
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: reason my team is catching momentum. I believe that I

1440
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 1: can do that, and I believe I believe in my ability.

1441
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 1: So as far as like, uh, you know, getting the ball,

1442
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: not getting the ball, you know, I can only do

1443
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: but so much so I kind of control what I

1444
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: can control, and when I'm giving opportunities, I'm gonna take

1445
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 1: full advantage. But uh yeah, for one hundred catches or

1446
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: if would be the most second balls of your career.

1447
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: The internal pressure because of the jacking atic numbers but nah,

1448
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean we were a past heavy offense last year. UM.

1449
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: I always look at it as kind of like the situation.

1450
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, we were throwing the ball a lot last year.

1451
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Um, I don't know how

1452
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 1: many targets I have per game, but you knew where

1453
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: you were gonna throw the ball a lot, and the

1454
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: ball was gonna be chucked around. And this year we

1455
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: got a different doing things a little bit differently. I

1456
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 1: don't I don't, you know, I really don't try not

1457
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:09,720
Speaker 1: to get too much into it so far as they

1458
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 1: just doing my portion and doing my part. I never

1459
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 1: I never feel pressure, and I don't even get I'm

1460
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 1: not even a guy that get nervous for games because

1461
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 1: I always believe that you say, I'm prepared. I work

1462
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: for it. I know it. I know I know my job,

1463
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: I know what I can do. I've caught this ball

1464
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 1: a million times. That's why I don't get nervous, because

1465
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: it's like I played this game. I've been playing this

1466
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: game for a very long time. So UM, it's not nothing,

1467
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, but to be surprised about saying I get excited,

1468
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 1: I get, you know, I don't get too I don't

1469
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: get over around. And I don't think about it as pressure.

1470
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: I think of it as a moment that for me

1471
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: to take advantage of man as my teammates know and

1472
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 1: they know me, they know I thrive in those moments.

1473
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: You know, I look for those moments because you know,

1474
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: it's somewhat of like a little bit of adrenaline. Adrenaline

1475
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 1: rush too, because and then heated and then heated a battle,

1476
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: and the moments where your teammates are looking for you

1477
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 1: or they're looking for somebody to make a play. I

1478
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 1: always want to stand up all the time, you know.

1479
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: Going back to Josh's comments after the game, saying that,

1480
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he needs to try to force a

1481
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: t more. What is the balance of this notion of

1482
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives you, but also recognizing that

1483
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: usually good things happen you get a chance to make

1484
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: a plan. Yeah. Yeah, I kind of look at it

1485
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: as and like, I'm not the first receiver to get

1486
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: X y Z coverage. I'm not the first receiver to

1487
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:28,680
Speaker 1: get dumb. I'm not the first receiver to go through

1488
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: these little you know, when teams have you know, the

1489
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: schematically they try to stop guys. So just gotta be

1490
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: able to, you know, be in a situation, so Josh

1491
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: so comfortable and you know, forcing the ball at the

1492
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 1: right time. See what I'm saying, when I got fifty

1493
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 1: fifty balls or when I'm in a situation. So it's

1494
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: more so putting everybody in the right in the right

1495
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: spots I'm saying. So he can't force the balls because

1496
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: of course I don't want him forcing me the ball

1497
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: in and you know people are draped all over me.

1498
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: But when you get a chance, of course, I'm on

1499
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 1: one opportunity. But for me, I try not to put

1500
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: too much pressure on him because so hard being a quarterback,

1501
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, he needs a lot of things to go

1502
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: right as well, like coverages or X y Z. So

1503
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: for me as far as like with him forcing me

1504
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: the ball, yeah, everybody knows. It's no secret that I

1505
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: want the ball, but I'm also stuck within the rock

1506
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: in the hard place. You gotta be a good teammate,

1507
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: and you gotta I'm not I'm willing to get guys

1508
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: open to you know what I'm saying. I'm not a

1509
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: selfish guy. I've never been that guy. But I want

1510
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 1: to win. And if we're not winning, of course I'm

1511
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a problem with it. But for me, Um,

1512
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 1: I work for that. You I'm saying, I'm I'm I

1513
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: feel like I put in enough time and I'm an

1514
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 1: unselfish guy, so I want to win. And if we're

1515
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 1: not winning, hopefully we're doing whatever we need to do

1516
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: to put us in the best position. So yeah, maybe one. Yeah,

1517
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't look back on it too much. I try

1518
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: not to live in the past too much because you know,

1519
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:52,679
Speaker 1: that was a whole different circumstanced, different situation. Um, even

1520
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: in the past, like I was, I was on the

1521
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: team for the loaded loaded with talent, so uh similar

1522
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: to now. So for me, just like when I go

1523
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: to a game, I want to go in with the

1524
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: mindset of get open, to catch the ball and do

1525
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: your job and everything else gonna all the tips gonna fallward,

1526
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,560
Speaker 1: they lay as far as they where my teammate is.

1527
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, I kind of look forward to kind of

1528
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 1: giving them some juice, like trying to get busy, going

1529
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 1: trying to get ego because those the hell of a

1530
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: players and you know, um, part of me doing my

1531
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: job is helping them get open or taking the top

1532
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: off here and there and X Y z so trying

1533
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 1: to just focus on me or me, me, me, me,

1534
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: more so, it wasn't the best inters of the team.

1535
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: And if it's me getting somebody open or me catching

1536
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: the ball, I don't want to do it. Do you

1537
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: think about that play? Those stuff? And I mean that's

1538
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: like one of the highlights of the NFL in the

1539
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: last ten years. Yeah, I mean, I mean I think

1540
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: about it maybe a couple of times a year now,

1541
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: just because around the time, you know, when the playoffs coming,

1542
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 1: they run it back, they'll bring up some of the

1543
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 1: highlights from the past. My play, the Marriest Thomas play,

1544
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: just a couple of players like that, and from me

1545
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: something I'm always be looking back, like damn, I'm gonna

1546
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: tell my kids that one day and they probably won't

1547
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: believe me, but I'm like, we got some video of it,

1548
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: so um something that I look for. I always look

1549
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: at it like d and that really happened at one point.

1550
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: Now I'm trying to focus on something a little bit bigger.

1551
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: So for me, I think about it like this, damn,

1552
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: that was that was amazing, That was a blessing. But

1553
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: then I'll also be like this, damn, you was close,

1554
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, we lost an FC championship that year, and

1555
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: that's that's something that sits in the back of my

1556
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,640
Speaker 1: mind too. Thanksgiving with your brother playing at four and

1557
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: then you're playing in the AFTERNI later. Typically, Uh, when

1558
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: I was in the league by myself, my mom would

1559
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 1: proably come to my game. But seeing that my mom is, uh,

1560
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, she's gonna sit on the couch for this one,

1561
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: watch the game with my nephew Aiden M and just

1562
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, I guess she chaired both teams on just

1563
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 1: because you know I would I would feel away if

1564
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 1: she shows a little favoritism on Thanksgiving though, So she's

1565
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna just watch the game at home and chair us

1566
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: from from the couch. So hopefully we see her soon

1567
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: after that. But it's a family day and you know

1568
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 1: we're in different places. Yeah, that's no. I just want

1569
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: my jersey one. The balance of time stage, coming off

1570
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 1: a tough laws, yeah, focus, trying to be aggressive again

1571
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 1: while not trying to do too much as a team,

1572
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: not just individually but just as a team, you know,

1573
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: balancing that for me from my perspective, you know, I

1574
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 1: try not to get into the end of X and

1575
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: those of it as far as like I can't imagine

1576
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: how hard it is. As a coach. You know you're

1577
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: coming off a tough laws, you want to balance back.

1578
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: You get a primetime game, it's a perfect opportunity, especially

1579
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 1: for your team. And it's more so how they're gonna

1580
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: how we're gonna bounce back. And as a player, for me,

1581
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: it's more so like play your best when your back

1582
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: against the wall. I'm saying, of course people are gonna

1583
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: count you out, of course, x y Z. But I'm

1584
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 1: never on the woe is me. I'm never looking for

1585
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: those sympathy. I'm more so looked like I don't have

1586
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: my back against the all plenty times. What I'm saying

1587
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: coming out on the other side as what matters most

1588
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: of me. So what a better opportunity. And as far

1589
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: as like being aggressive, you don't want to stop being you.

1590
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: You don't want to get in go into a show

1591
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: of being like being conservative or being x y Z.

1592
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: You know you make your hey bye, I guess sorry

1593
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 1: with laying your nuts, let your nuts hain't play ball,

1594
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: play free and um you know being you, you know,

1595
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 1: play with that confidence because that's our team. You play

1596
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 1: with confidence, you play with juice, You're prepared and that's

1597
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: how you go play. It's all good. Oh yeah, you see,

1598
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 1: you see we got a little spice in there. You

1599
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: had a little twenty two in there. Uh, I just

1600
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: was to what I say. Uh, we got a lot

1601
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: of talented guys. You got so many times to guys

1602
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: that can do a lot of different things, Like Matt

1603
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: Breeder brings a little bit more of an element something

1604
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: that maybe Zmo or Motor can't bring, saying he brings

1605
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of this, a little bit of that.

1606
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 1: Like they all got different games. But as far as

1607
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: I go offense, we got so much talent that you know,

1608
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: you throw a guy out there to everybody else, he's

1609
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: a surprise. And you know for us, we've been seeing

1610
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: them all or can't we seen them all season? So

1611
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 1: it's like we just got a lot of talent. You

1612
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: just got to figure out the way to get everybody

1613
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 1: involved and get everybody active. How do you balance I

1614
01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:04,640
Speaker 1: can't really hear you under your mask. Sorry, yeah, aggressive,

1615
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: but not doing too much and getting out of your

1616
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: own character. Well they say like don't get cute, like

1617
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 1: saying when you get when you get opportunities to take

1618
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: a shot, you take a shot. I'm saying. It's more

1619
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:17,240
Speaker 1: so opportunistic than anything, like, uh, you don't want to

1620
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: be too aggressive when it's not there, what I'm saying.

1621
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 1: But when you get our opportunity, be aggressive. I'm saying,

1622
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: take those shots because I mean, I feel like it

1623
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,560
Speaker 1: also softens up the defense a little bit like this,

1624
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: all right, they even been known to take shots right here,

1625
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: but they took a couple of shots in the game,

1626
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,640
Speaker 1: So why not you know, you know, be alert of it,

1627
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, or maybe it'll open up some other things. So,

1628
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 1: uh what those cool coaches don't get cute, but when

1629
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: you get opportunities and saying, take advantage of them, and

1630
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: when they're not there, just play a safe and say

1631
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 1: take take what the defense to give you and who

1632
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 1: move the chains? Thank You'll appreciate. All right. That's Stefine

1633
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: Diggs addressing the media after practice today, and he's kind

1634
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 1: of taking the approach that I'm I was anticipating. The

1635
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 1: Bills were just kind of hang loose and just play.

1636
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: It's a short week game, playing simple. He phrased it

1637
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 1: a little bit differently than I did when I said

1638
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: hang loose, but to eat his own Yeah, and it

1639
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense, a great way to play.

1640
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: It's a great mindset to go out and because when

1641
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:14,600
Speaker 1: you're in that mindset, you're not worried about bad consequence.

1642
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: You go out and play and it's a great place

1643
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: to be mentally for them to go into this Thanksgiving

1644
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 1: Night game. It's hard to get a handle on how

1645
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: because here's the thing. When you go into a game,

1646
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: you want you want plan A, plan B, Plan C.

1647
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 1: You want adjustments within those plans, you want wrinkles within

1648
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: each of those plans. And you go into a Thanksgiving

1649
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: Night game a short week you don't have you can't

1650
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 1: run through any of it. You got to walk through

1651
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 1: and you talk about it, and then you use what

1652
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 1: you already know about your offense to kind of like

1653
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 1: to get yourself through it from series to series. So listen,

1654
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: if you get into this game and the Saints are

1655
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 1: doing this and this, you're like, we didn't expect him

1656
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: to do that, Well, here's what we're gonna do A,

1657
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: B and C. You haven't run through A and B,

1658
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, and you C was in the game plan

1659
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 1: maybe last week. That kind of stuff. So it's really

1660
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: a mental game and it tests it really tests. I

1661
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 1: think the professionalism of the entire organization. How ready are

1662
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 1: your guys all the time to play, how well schooled

1663
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 1: are they in their depth of knowledge or your whole

1664
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 1: playbook at any given time, to pull something out of

1665
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, the stack that was on the plate a

1666
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: month ago and run it right. Or something that you

1667
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: haven't really run through in practice that's new, and you

1668
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: might want to adjust something you've had for a while,

1669
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 1: but do it differently on game day without ever having

1670
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 1: run through it. Those are the kind of flexibility, you know,

1671
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,560
Speaker 1: that's the kind of flexibility you need when the adjustments

1672
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 1: you have to make and in a short week. It's

1673
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: fun in that respect. You've got a chance sense of

1674
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: it from Steph. It's fun and I have to worry

1675
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: about it if they Let's just see what we need

1676
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 1: and just go in, you know, don't you have to

1677
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:49,600
Speaker 1: clutter your mind up. Let's just go play. And a

1678
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 1: lot of times you have success with what you're doing,

1679
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: so the adjustments. Because your mind is free, you have

1680
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 1: more success and you have to make fewer adjustments the

1681
01:25:58,040 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: other team has to make the adjustments. It's a fun

1682
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: place to be. We have to take a break here

1683
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: when we come back, Steve, and I'll close it up

1684
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: with some of your final thoughts on the tweet sheet.

1685
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:10,719
Speaker 1: Level of confidence that the Bills will bounce back Thursday

1686
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 1: night on Thanksgiving against the Saints. We'll see in a

1687
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: second Here on one Bills Live presented by Kalota Health,

1688
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio time for Reads, Milestones, Reads, Jen's

1689
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: the official jeweler or the Buffalo Bills. Bills tight end

1690
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox had six receptions against the Colts, which is

1691
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: a new career high. He had previously had a high

1692
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: of five against Houston earlier this season. Knox also had

1693
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,679
Speaker 1: eighty yards receiving, which was the second highest of his career.

1694
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: So good on Dawson. So that's your Reads Jen's Milestones

1695
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 1: for this week. We do want to get to some

1696
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: of your final thoughts on the tweet sheet today. What's

1697
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:01,719
Speaker 1: your confidence level the Bills will bounce back against the Saints?

1698
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 1: Jack says, I'm like seventy five eighty percent confident. The

1699
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: short week, travel and injury illness questions up in the

1700
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 1: air gives me pause, but I trust the staff team

1701
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 1: and Allen's drive to win a Colt's game was embarrassing

1702
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: for the d especially the whole group will want to

1703
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:17,680
Speaker 1: show their metal to the whole country. What do you

1704
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 1: think of that? That's probably true. That's what we've been

1705
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 1: saying about it as well. The injuries and the illnesses

1706
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, I mean, who knows how that's

1707
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: going to drop. Tremaine Edmonds was a full participant in

1708
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: practice today. That's a plus. Still no word on whether

1709
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: Feliciano or he's still on IR Yeah, yeah, so I

1710
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: think he's eligibill come off this week. Yeah before the game. Yeah.

1711
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: He's missed three games now, yeah, so we'll see. Yeah.

1712
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: And Cole Beasley was limited. The reason the things that

1713
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 1: give me pause about this are the unknowns, the injuries,

1714
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 1: and the guys who are actually gonna be suiting up.

1715
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: But the guys that are there, they're gonna want to

1716
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 1: make amends for what happened on Sunday. Herbs says, my

1717
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 1: confidence level is high. This Bill's team is too good

1718
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: to allow this season to go to the dogs. Give

1719
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: Josh time to find them open wide receivers and allow

1720
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:08,719
Speaker 1: them to take off with the ball. This will slow

1721
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: down any defense. John says, I'm a little hesitant Starr

1722
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: and Edmund's role are very crucial. Browns our best oligneman.

1723
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 1: With those players missing, the entire team needs to play

1724
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: a two hundred percent Is that even possible? Maybe a

1725
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: little more of Josh under center, run Brita. He's looking

1726
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: like our best running back thus far, go Bills. Yeah, yeah,

1727
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 1: Bob says, I think a lot is going to depend

1728
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 1: on which team shows up. They bounce back from an

1729
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 1: embarrassing loss only to stumble the next game. If Brown

1730
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 1: and Feliciano were not available, then they need to drop

1731
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 1: the Cody Ford experiment, leave Williams at right guard and

1732
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 1: play someone else at right tackle. I don't know who

1733
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 1: you're doing that with, though, well, Bates or Doyle or whoever.

1734
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, okay, but I don't they the

1735
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:54,599
Speaker 1: reason they keep going to that is because they don't

1736
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: believe there is a better option. And they watch these

1737
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: guys every day. It's not just three hours on a Sunday.

1738
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 1: So it is what it is that you got to

1739
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: kind of go with With the guys you got, it's

1740
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting, no question. Yeah.

1741
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,759
Speaker 1: So Thursday injury update report, Beasley was limited in practice

1742
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: today had a red non contact jersey on. Edmonds was

1743
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: a full go, so it looks like he's trending back

1744
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 1: to returning to the lineup. That'll be a help for

1745
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 1: the defense for sure. We've got another show for you

1746
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: tomorrow before taking off of the Thanksgiving holiday. We'll have

1747
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Field Yates with us to give us his ultimate fantasy lineup,

1748
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,320
Speaker 1: presented by FanDuel. We'll see you tomorrow at one
