00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: the highlights of the game on Sunday you were bumming.

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: We're yeah, well yeah, because you only do sixteen to

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: those games. You know, if one of what happened like

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: the frog, well yeah, what happened? If something historic happened

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: in that game, I know one hundred and nine yard

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: interception return or you know, what I mean, something that's

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna be on for years and years. I agonized over

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: you gotta be ready, So what are you saying? I'm

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: glad that it was such a dot of a game.

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: Well there is that builds only scoring one touchdown, so

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: that there is that I mean, And I'm pretty sure

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: we're not going to be I'm pretty sure that for

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: years to come, we're not gonna be here. In Nathan

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Peterman highlights over there. You know, let's something right, I mean,

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: come on, let's be real. I mean, so there's nothing

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: really historic to go back in that game and say,

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's just so you did escape that I know, yeah,

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: and feeling better. And also you said there's forty three coming.

34
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: It's like twenty in this in the studio right now.

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: It's freezing in here, and I think air conditioning just

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: clicked that it is, Oh my gosh, hard feeling a draft.

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: We've got some hardships. I've got this zip thing on

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: today and it is something. So it's so good here here.

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna be got Kyle Williams coming in later in

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: this segment. He's gonna he's gonna bumble up. Yeah, you

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: won't like it. He doesn't even like. But by way,

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: one thing that changed since we got off the air

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: yesterday is Sean McDermot had his press conference at like

44
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: four o'clock yesterday. We get off the earth at three,

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: and so Josh Allen's a definite no go for Sunday,

46
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: which most people know that if they keep track. Yeah,

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: this day and age, it's easy enough to keep track of.

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: So week to week, McDermot said, as far as Josh,

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: he's not gonna go this week. And there are indications

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: reports coming out to Chris Morton. So the ESPN reports

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: that the injury is to the ulner collateral ligament ul

52
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: N a R the owner. You know where that is

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: collateral ligament. It's in his right elbow. This is Mortonson's report,

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: not considered major at this time, but he will have

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: more tests and his MRA will be sent to noted

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: orthopedis specialist doctor James Andrews for a second opinion, standard

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: operating procedure. No other information. Bills don't know you and

58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: I asked around today. They don't really know how serious

59
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: it is with Josh Allen, how much time he might miss,

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: but he is week to week and so pretty certain

61
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: he will not play this week against Indianapolis. Cool, So

62
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: that leaves you Nathan Peterman or Derek Anderson go ahead.

63
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: You haven't thought on this, Yeah, I think it's a

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: race to see if they can get Derek Anderson ready,

65
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure at this point even the guys

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: who love Nate Peterman as a guy, as a as

67
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: a player and respect what he did in training camp,

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: the teammates and stuff, they're they're saying, you know what,

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can go down the road again.

70
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: Now it is a road game, and it wouldn't be

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: like they have to deal with this on coming in

72
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: and walking into your own stadium, you know, getting Nathan

73
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: Peterman reacted to like they could given his recent history.

74
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: So if and if Derek Anderson can't get ready, if

75
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: they don't think he's ready, or you know, I think,

76
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, you could see Peterman again. I don't think

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. You bring a guy in like Derek Anderson,

78
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: because he's a twelve year veteran. He's got a history

79
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: with Brian Dable, although it's a long time in the past.

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: He's got a history with Sean McDermott in the more

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: recent past. He's got a history with a sense of

82
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: your number one receiver, Kelvin Benjamin. They played together for

83
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: six or seven years in Carolina, So there's a lot there.

84
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Plus in the in the day and age that is

85
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. These days, the radio makes a big difference.

86
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: You can talk to the quarterback throughout the first all

87
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: the way down to fifteen seconds left on the play clock.

88
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: So if you get started in your conversation early, you

89
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: can start talking him through the play of what he's

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: going to be looking at, and through a check here

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: or there as well early in the play clock. So

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that kind of help you

93
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: get a guy ready, if not to mention the fact

94
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: that he's a twelve year veteran, So that tells me

95
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: maybe they could get him ready to go even though

96
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: he's only been he's been here, what a week now?

97
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: Right today? Yep? Right a week today? You'd like to

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: think you could get but you know here, what can

99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: stop that? You say it's a race to get him ready?

100
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's at all to me, it's about well

101
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: how ready you need him to be? I mean, if

102
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: they get to a Friday and they have enough in

103
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna I think they're probably leaning towards playing him,

104
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: and so they can tailor what their game plan is

105
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: and what they're asking Derek Anderson to do based on

106
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: where he's at. And he is a veteran, you know,

107
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: a thirteen year veteran. You know, they'll know. He'll know

108
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: what they're asking him to do. He might have it's

109
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: it's verbige really, we're talking about right. It's verge right concepts.

110
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: We call it this right exactly now. Once he spits

111
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: it out and you can explain to him what it

112
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: is and get it and he'll he'll say, Okay, I

113
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: see it. Plus, if there is that chance that you

114
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: can get him ready to play, I think we'll probably

115
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: be told that during this week because he's gonna have

116
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: to take the reps in practice. Somebody's gonna see him

117
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: or is you know, you can't keep a thing like

118
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: that a secret. He's gonna be taking reps with the

119
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: ones if indeed that's their plan to try and get

120
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: him ready, So it'll probably be they'll probably announce it

121
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: during the week. It's probably tomorrow and who cares. And

122
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: you know what is a it's a small competitive advantage

123
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: thing and what are you gonna gain by thinking they're

124
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna get Nate Peterman or you know, Derek Anderson. You're

125
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: not gonna gains. It's negligible, it's nothing. They're gonna think.

126
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: They're not gonna change their defense. In fact, it may

127
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: give him more problems thinking they're gonna face Derek Anderson

128
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: because that's a big unknown. He had like two pass

129
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: attempts last year. So I think, you know it might

130
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: you might get some competitive advantage by saying, yeah, we're

131
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna play him, um and let him let

132
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: him think about that. UM. Yesterday, Brian Dable, offensive coordinator,

133
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: met with the media and not knowing who would play,

134
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: but he was asked about Derek Anderson and Dabo was asked,

135
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: where is Derek Anderson in terms of learning the Buffalo offense.

136
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. He's picking it up.

137
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, to come off the street

138
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: and come in. He's he's upstairs right now. He's upstairs

139
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: all the time. Um, you know, I don't think you

140
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: can put the whole thing on him. And he's played

141
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: a long time. So concepts are concepts. It's understanding the

142
00:06:51,000 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: language and Uh, he's he's grinding and out. Sorry some some,

143
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: but again, you know that's a long time ago. Um

144
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: so it's just like learning a new language. But he's

145
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: a veteran who he's been around a while, even with Josh.

146
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: In the event Josh can't play on Sunday. And I'm

147
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: not asking you who based hard or whatever, but is Derek,

148
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: given the how much time he's missed, he's not even

149
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: been on the football field, are you confident in him

150
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: being even a backup at this point of his of

151
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: where he's out on this team. Yeah, I think, Well,

152
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: we'll sit down at the staff and I appreciate the question.

153
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: You know, we'll sit down here the next you know,

154
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: tonight and tomorrow and review all the things we need

155
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: to review. And you know, whoever we decide to put

156
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: out there, we have, we'll have confidence in them. There

157
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: you go. Brian Dable talking about Derek Anderson, Steve said,

158
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: and I agree. I think the preference I would think

159
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: would be to have Derek Anderson start, But there is

160
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: and McDermott wouldn't not rule it out yesterday, wouldn't. He said,

161
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: all options are open, meaning Nathan Peterman could start, and

162
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: we were talking about this a lot this morning. I

163
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: don't think listen, it's a hard sell. It's to have

164
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman. Yeah, but there is there are some arguments

165
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: that would lead you in that direction. Can you make those?

166
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: And I mentioned I mentioned it earlier. It's a road game. Uh,

167
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: there's certainly things you know about Nathan Peterman. You know that.

168
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean, how how many of us are they? Listen?

169
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: You know what? Don't throw that short out route please, right?

170
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you're your things you know about. You're not

171
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna call that route. You're not gonna have that as

172
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: one of your checkdowns. You're not gonna do that. You're

173
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna and you can run your offense and say, okay,

174
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: well you can tailor made an offense. And the question

175
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: is this, you're gonna you're gonna trim it down for

176
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson anyway. You're not gonna give him the entire

177
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: playbook anyway, and anyway, and plus the fact that you're

178
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: gonna be in a game plan mode anyway, So it'll

179
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: be trimmed down somewhat. But because it's gonna be about

180
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: the matchups that the Cult defense presents. So you're gonna

181
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: have your your game plan in that way. But you're

182
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: gonna trim it down for Derrick Anderson anyway, And and

183
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: I would think too, right about now, you'd be trimming

184
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: it down for Nathan Peterman as well. You're gonna say, listen,

185
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna take this part of it out, and this

186
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: part of it out. We're not gonna have you throw

187
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: deep outside the numbers. We're not gonna have you throw

188
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: that quick out, you know, unless we have you pump,

189
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: fake it and go deep. We're gonna you know, So

190
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: they are gonna know that when he is in there,

191
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to walk on eggshells with Peterman, just

192
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: like they probably will with Derek Anderson to ex certain

193
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. And there's two things that work

194
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: here that put the Bills in this situation because we

195
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: know too off the in the back scenes they've been

196
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: trying to sign. They had tried to sign a number

197
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks and talked to a number of quarterbacks getting

198
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: them in here, veterans, and they couldn't. I'm surprised AJ

199
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: McCarron couldn't play better than Nate Peterman. That was a

200
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: surprise to me. AJ McCarron was not the kind of

201
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: guy who wanted to come in and be a mentor.

202
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: H he's not gonna do that, So they traded him

203
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: and went for the guy that was the team guy,

204
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman. Nate Peterman has shown a consistent inability to

205
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: transfer all the good work he's done off the fielding

206
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: in practice onto the field. Consistently has not been able

207
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: to do that. So as a backup, Hey, he's great,

208
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: he's valuable. But now you got Josh Allen getting an

209
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: innocuous hit from Whitney merciless. It looked like nothing. All

210
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's out for a week or two

211
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: at least week. Yeah, he's week to week. So all

212
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's like, wow, you know now you're

213
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: looking sitting there, you're sitting in a mud hole up

214
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: to your neck this quarterback thing, right, yeah, feel like what.

215
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it went from all right, you know,

216
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: we got a guy, we're trying to get him better.

217
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be good. We're gonna get him out. Now

218
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: we got this veteran guy we signed, he's gonna come

219
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: in and mentor him, and all of a sudden, now

220
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: it's like, ah, now, now he's out for a week

221
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: or two at least. And now I heard this rant

222
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: this morning and then yeah, and it's like it was like, oh,

223
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: and you see the hit on MSG. It was nothing.

224
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: He's got his arm, he got his arm hyper extended

225
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: by just a little jolt from a hit on the

226
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: side that was nothing. And I mean it didn't even

227
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: knock him off his balance, and he tried to make

228
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: one more throw. Made the throw pretty good. I mean,

229
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: he had nice velocity on it, but it hurt him.

230
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: So you know, he's out and until he can make

231
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: that throw without getting hurt, and he's gonna be out.

232
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: Late hit, I'm merciless. Some people argue it wasn't even

233
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: a hit. I mean, I know this a list and

234
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: we can get into that. We should have been a

235
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: who cares if it was a penalty now right, I mean,

236
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: it's it's irrelevant. I mean it was, yeah, it was

237
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: a nothing hit. I mean, it was just it was

238
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: just a totally awkward spur of the moment, little jolt

239
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: to his arm where it got where he caught him

240
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: just at the right moment. Is he let the pass

241
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: release and he got hit where it hyper extended his

242
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: elbows like ah, man. Yeah, so you know what I

243
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: was saying, not even the point, and I was thinking

244
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: about that, and we talked about protecting quarterbacks in the

245
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: league's big effort to protect quarterbacks, and that's in some

246
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: ways admirable. But the injuries, the meaningful injuries that happened

247
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks can happen in an inaccurates place like that,

248
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: like Garoppolo. Garoppolo was just running non condecked right, he

249
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: did himself. He cut. That's what happened to Deshaun Watson

250
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: last year in Houston. He got in practice in practice,

251
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: so you know, you want to see him protect quarters

252
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: and Teddy Bridgewater yeah, in practice. Yeah, that's a tough

253
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: one and it's there's no really And we want to

254
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: get our Twitter poll today, So it looks like you're

255
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to go with Derek Anderson. If

256
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills need to replace Josh Allen because of injury,

257
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: can they win with the venteran quarterback Derek Anderson? Right

258
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: now on Twitter, sixty one percent of you say yes

259
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: they can, thirty nine percent of you say no, they cannot.

260
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: What do you think? Give us a call? Eight oh

261
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,439

00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: something in we'll read it on the air. If the

265
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Bills need to replace Josh Hallon because of injury, can

266
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: they win with veteran quarterback Derek Anderson. It's so bets

267
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: we could do today. We agonize over our Twitter pole

268
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: question today. It was a tough one. I like this though,

269
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: because I agree I think you can win with him.

270
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: Could listen if you could win with the way the

271
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: offense has been playing, with the way um the defense

272
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: has been playing. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And now we got

273
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: we'll ask this guy. We'll ask Kyle about it. How

274
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: Williams is with us in studio? Bills veteran defensive lineman

275
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: coming off an outstanding game at Houston night, Kyle, how's

276
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: it going? What are you doing here on the Tuesday?

277
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: At your day? Yeah, right day. Yeah, I'm a probably

278
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: a little sweaty. I just got done working out and

279
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: got started on Indy last night and saw I did

280
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: some more rehab stuff and then uh kind of really

281
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: really dive all the way in with it, and I

282
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: know afternoon I said, I told this is Sean McDermott yesterday.

283
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I hate to say it like this,

284
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: but I was really Murph was looking at me like

285
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: I sprouted antenna. I was really encouraged by that loss

286
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: on Sunday. If you can be encouraged by the loss,

287
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: your offense is gonna play better than it did. Then

288
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: your defense is playing lights out. Your special teams had

289
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: two incredible gaffs that really cost you and put you

290
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: guys in a bat The only reason they scored any

291
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: points was because of the short field. Uh. They put

292
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: together one drive at the last of the game, but

293
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: it should have been a meaningless drive. Your defense is

294
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: really playing well, and you guys can beat anybody when

295
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: you're playing that good, no matter how those other two

296
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: team phases of the gameplay. Yeah, you know, I feel

297
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: like we put our team in position to win on

298
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: Sunday um from our performance. You know through the game.

299
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: The disappointing thing is when we took the field with

300
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: three minutes left or whatever it was, we had an

301
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to kind of out Nail and Coffin right, and

302
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: we talked about it yesterday. As the defense there there

303
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: there are progressions and you can go from average to

304
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: good and good to great, and that drive signifies the

305
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: difference between being good and being a great defense. We

306
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: actually made the play to win the game, couldn't come

307
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: up with the loose we did come up with right

308
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: before the long pass interference. You knocked the ball loosing

309
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: it popped and Squirting is bouncing around in the pile

310
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: or one of their guys popped over it, right, so

311
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: you know we come around, you know, and that that

312
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: would have ended it would ended it right. So yeah,

313
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: I'll come around and I get a hand on him,

314
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: but I missed the sack. And just the way that

315
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: we play and the way the way we talked about

316
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: playing is always covering for the guy. Jerry makes a

317
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: great play, knocks the ball loose, there's a scrum for

318
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: the ball, and you know how that goes, and we

319
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: don't come up with it. So we actually made the

320
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: play to do it half of it right. So that's

321
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of where kind of where we sat as a defense.

322
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: So when when when you analyze that, though, what do

323
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: you to come up with the football? I hate to

324
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: always look at luck, but there's luck involved, like who's where,

325
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: who's close? To the ball. Their offensive lineman came up

326
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: with that loose ball. I mean, what would you do

327
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: next time? What would you do better next time to

328
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: come up with the ball? Well, you know, like for me,

329
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: maybe you know, make the play deeper where a lot

330
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: of those guys don't have an opportunity to come back

331
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, the ball hits the ground, it's

332
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: a it's an oblong ball. The ball could you could

333
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: literally go anywhere. So, uh, you know, you can't hang

334
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: your hat on that kind of what you're speaking to.

335
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, given the opportunity,

336
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: the kind of the magnitude of the you know, at

337
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: that point of the game, you know, we got to

338
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: find a way to get it done, you know, and

339
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: they get a big drive because they get a sixty

340
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: yard fifty yard penalty whatever it is. So that's a

341
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: tough spot. That's a tough spot in the game. But

342
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, if we want to be

343
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: a great defense, we have to figure out whether it's

344
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: you know, making that play or getting another turnover somewhere

345
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: or from that point forward, making them either have to

346
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: go forward on fourth down and getting off the field,

347
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: which is just like a turnover or make them kick

348
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: the ball. And you have to know too that as teammates.

349
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: And I get a lot of this from the media, like, wow,

350
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: that defense is really gonna be salty because they can't

351
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: get any help from their teammates and they're not you know,

352
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: the special teams. Let them down, their offense, let them

353
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: down yacht and go on on and on. That's really

354
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: not the way it is in the locker room. Who

355
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: is it. You're there, You're there for your teammates, you know,

356
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: for the offer, your four, Josh, your four and eight,

357
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: You're for all these guys. Yeah. Absolutely, And I think

358
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, the main thing is is all of us

359
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: understand that we may not always be at our best,

360
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: the same way the offense is not always at their best.

361
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: Same thing set for special teams, and I think the

362
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: thing that comes back to us that's kind of the

363
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: headline of all three of those phases. It's called team.

364
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: If you haven't been involved in it, if you haven't

365
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: been a part of it, you may or may not

366
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: really understand it. And you know, and you're all there

367
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: for each other. You're never point any fingers because all

368
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: of us are at fault at some point during the game,

369
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: at some point during the season, and we have to

370
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: stick together. You know, it's typically the teams that can

371
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: stick together the longest that you know, kind of end

372
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: up making things happen. Right kN Williams Bills Venor in

373
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: defense and linemen in studio with us for a couple

374
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: of minutes here, Hey, this season, I mean we're not

375
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: even halfway yet, but it was a pretty dramatic turnaround

376
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: in the last four and a half games now, since

377
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: halftime of the Chargers game for the Buffalo defense. Get

378
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: if you look back and can you identify something that

379
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: change there, maybe at halftime or maybe the next week

380
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: in Minnesota and get this defense going in the right direction. Well,

381
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: I think we've started better than we have and it's

382
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: also a product of, you know, some things not snowballing.

383
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: If you look at the Baltimore game, you know that

384
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: that game got out of whack really quickly, and you

385
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: look up at the scoreboard in the fourth quarter and

386
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: it's forty to seven or whatever it is. But then

387
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: we have two hundred and forty fifty yards of total offense.

388
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: You know, like, well, there's a there's a big chasm there.

389
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: What's the what's the problem right, Well, when we turned

390
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: the ball over, we didn't get turnovers that they made

391
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: a big play on special teams. So I think collectively

392
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: we've played better as a team in a little complimentary football.

393
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: We've run the ball, we've done some different things, and

394
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: we've cleaned up some of our errors on defense. We

395
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: have some young players, we have some guys that haven't

396
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: played in the NFL, and they're only going to get

397
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: better with the more that they play, the more they communicate,

398
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: the more things that they see, the better they're gonna get. Yeah,

399
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: and some of the young players are getting better, and

400
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: they're they're not young as young as they were at

401
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: the start of the season. I mean, a month in

402
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: the NFL is puts a little bit of hair on

403
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: your back, for sure, for sure, I mean, without a doubt.

404
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're talking about a month of week

405
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: long preparation where all you're doing is football. When you're

406
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: you know, you're you don't have to go to biology class.

407
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: Yeah you don't have guys, Yeah, I don't have to

408
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: I don't have to go to a biology class. I

409
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: don't have to go to study hall. You know, you

410
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: know what your study hall Is all day. It's getting

411
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: ready to play this football team. So those guys, they're

412
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: they're tough guys, they're smart, they play hard, and they

413
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: want to be good. Are our young guys, you know,

414
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: and that's a credit to you know, to being and

415
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: coach McDermott, the kind of guys that they're bringing in,

416
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: which are fun guys to play with. There, they're good

417
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: rookies to be around because they ask the right questions,

418
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: they want to do the right thing, and I think

419
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: you see the growth in them, you know, seven weeks

420
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: into the season, and they're only going to continue to

421
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: get better and better. People want to discount the impact

422
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: of team culture, but when I look at those young

423
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: contributors on your defense, I mean you can count four

424
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: or five first or second, your guys who are playing

425
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: pretty priminent roles in some ways, the culture that you

426
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: the veterans set, they have to feel that and it

427
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: shows them how to work and how to prepare each week.

428
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: I would think, right, yeah, I think so, you know,

429
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott puts a lot on you know, some of

430
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: our plates where hey, we're gonna we're gonna set a standard,

431
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna draw a line, and everybody has to toe

432
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: the line. You're gonna get up to it. We set

433
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: that standard when we're here in you know, in April

434
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: and through OTAs, in mini camp and training camp, you know,

435
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: and we're not We're not going to be our best

436
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: the first day that we're here, but we're going to

437
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: continually trying to build and grow and get better and better,

438
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: and that way we get better through the season. And

439
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: to this point, we've done that. So try to remind guys,

440
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: especially young guys, you know, complacency is the biggest danger

441
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know, if you look at last week,

442
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: you've got six or seven teams that two weeks ago

443
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: one lost this last week. You know, So it's kind

444
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: of the ebb and flow of the NFL. You know,

445
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: you have to you have to prepare, you have to

446
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: do your best every week, no matter what. I've said

447
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: that a lot. I've been around the country and people

448
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: have asked me about other teams and everybody, and seemed

449
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: more so than any other year because we had like

450
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: twenty four teams going into last week that had won

451
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: three games or two games, So everybody was riding this

452
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: roller coaster. A little bit of playing really well one

453
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 1: week and then losing double digits the next week, then

454
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: winning a game, and we've had a ton of overtime games,

455
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: so it's a really competitive league. What are some of

456
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: the nuances that you guys on defense are looking at

457
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: maybe to take that next step? And we asked you know,

458
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: you said, there's a difference between bad and good, good

459
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: and great. You know, what are the nuances that you've

460
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: seen maybe these young guys start to get that have

461
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: made a difference. I think the first thing that you

462
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: can identify with a team our defense, that's that's going

463
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: to be great as it starts with communication, you know,

464
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: front to middle to middle to back. Everybody's on the

465
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: same page. Everybody's ready to go. Guys that play physical

466
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: and play fast, that play downhill, that play with a

467
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: lot of energy, that play with a lot of effort,

468
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: and we have guys in this defense all over it.

469
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, quite frankly, if if you don't play that way,

470
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: you're you're you you don't play, or you're not gonna

471
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: play for our defense. And we have a good group

472
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: of guys that do that. Like I said earlier, we've

473
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: set a standard that we try to hold everybody accountable

474
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: to and we don't pull any punches in our in

475
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: our D line, our d line room, or our defensive room.

476
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: You know. Every Thursday we go in as just players

477
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: and we watch our rundown period are nine on seven

478
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: period in practice, and like, hey, let's communicate it. Let's

479
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: talk about this period because we're going to be the

480
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: ones on the field and we say, oh, hey, you

481
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: know what, me, Kyle, I mess that up right here.

482
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm not in my gap. I'm the reason they got

483
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: a little crease here. And we see it. You know,

484
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: guys taken, you know, account for what they do, from

485
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: the backers to the safety fits, all those things. And

486
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: I think that it's made us better because we can

487
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: stand in front of one another and we're not gonna

488
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: blow smoke at one another and bell, Hey, I have

489
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: to be better there. You have to be better there.

490
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: Our communication has to be quicker, crisper, you know, and

491
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: it just all snowballs. I think into being better and better. Hey, Kyle,

492
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: Jerry Hugh's getting sacks you two and a half the

493
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: other day, a career, singing the game high for you.

494
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: And I keep thinking that people overlook the rule that

495
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: star Lotula has played and everybody's success up front, that's

496
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: just Sacks. But all the success you guys have had

497
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: up front, what does he do for you? What does

498
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: he mean up front? Yeah, Star's Star has been great

499
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: for us. Star Um. You know, he commands his position

500
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: with authority, and that's what you ask all guys to do.

501
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: You know. The great thing about you know, the guys

502
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: we have upfront, you know, Star and Jerry and Trent.

503
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 1: The more good players you get, the more things that

504
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: they can do, they make everybody around them better. You know,

505
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Jerry makes me better. I make Jerry better. Star makes

506
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: me better and vice versa. You know, there's no weak

507
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: link the way that those guys do. The guy, you know,

508
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: the guy knocks guys back, He controls his gap, He

509
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: does what he's asked do and he does it in

510
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: a great way. And we're so happy he's with us.

511
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: So you guys are on your side of the ball,

512
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: and you know, you see what's going on with Josh

513
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: and needed the quarterback spot. You're going into Indianapolis, you know,

514
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: tell us a little insight as to what the attitude

515
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: in the room's gonna be. Right, You're gonna and we

516
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: don't Nobody knows who's gonna play quarterback, Nate or Derek.

517
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: Seems obvious. Josh is out of the mix. And what's

518
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: the vibe going to be like at practice this week?

519
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great and we haven't even started yet.

520
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: But I can tell you now we talked about it

521
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: yesterday and the defensive meeting as we watched practice is

522
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: we have to continue to build. Yeah, it was a

523
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: good game. Wasn't a great game. Let's not lose sight

524
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: of the fact that we had an opportunity to win

525
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: the football game and we didn't. We put them in

526
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: we put ourselves in position, our football team in position.

527
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: Then at the end of the day, defensively collectively, we

528
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: didn't do it. We didn't do what we needed to

529
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: do to win the football game. So we're just going

530
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: to continue to build. We're gonna try to get better,

531
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to continually put our our team

532
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: in position to win football games offense, defense, special teams,

533
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: and try to play complimentary football no matter who's out

534
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: there playing whatever, wherever we're talking about, quarterback, defensive tackle, safety,

535
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. You know, it's next man up,

536
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go out there and we're gonna play

537
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: as a team. You guys have been good over a

538
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: couple of years now, blocking out distraction, blocking out noise, right,

539
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: That'll be necessary again this week. Sure, Sure, And I

540
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: think that's one of the strong, you know, strong points

541
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: of our team is you know, making sure that we

542
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: stay on point, that we know that weekend and week out.

543
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: It's about preparation and performance. Told the guys last week, hey,

544
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: you cannot fake being prepared. You can say all the

545
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: things you want to say, but you cannot fake being

546
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: prepared and ready to go. And it shows up on

547
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: Sunday and the last few weeks, our guys have been

548
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: on it, you know, trying to you know, help our

549
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: young guys along in their preparation so they can play

550
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: faster and we can be a better football team. I

551
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: have one more question for you, because I want I

552
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: want you to Here's a question I want to get.

553
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: Are you having fun this year? Because I know you

554
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: finished last year the way you finished and the celebration

555
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: in Miami was fantastic. Obviously the playoff game didn't get well.

556
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: You chose to come back. It's been not an easy road.

557
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: The first third of the season here, Um, have you

558
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: thought about that at all? Like man, and I really

559
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: sign up for one more year like this? So no,

560
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, not really. I mean, you know, you go

561
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: out and you play, and at the end of the day,

562
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, you don't lose sight of the I try

563
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: not to lose sight of the fact that we play

564
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: a game and it's fun to go and play. Now,

565
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: it's not always easy. Sometimes you don't always feel that great.

566
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: But not everybody gets an opportunity to do this. You know,

567
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: I love football. I love team. There's something there's nothing

568
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: like a team, you know. Whether you know, we've got

569
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: a lot of twenty one year old guys that are

570
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: closer in age to my oldest daughter than they are

571
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: to me. You know, that was quite the realization this spring.

572
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, you know, but what bonds them?

573
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: You got twenty one year old guys from intercity, from

574
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: West Coast or the end. You got a guy from

575
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: the south's thirty five's got five kids? What bonds and

576
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: what brings them together as team? And it's this game?

577
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: So you know, you always enjoy it, you know. And

578
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: I came back to be a Buffalo Bill and to

579
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: play for Sean McDermott and play for my teammates. You know,

580
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: we talked earlier, there's ups and downs and seasons. We

581
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: did it last year, you know, up and then down,

582
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: I mean as low as a guid, and then we

583
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: had to come back up their struggles and you just

584
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: never know what's out there unless you really you really

585
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: attack the day and you grind and you get ready

586
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: and you just play as hard as you can for

587
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: as long as you can. And then you know, at

588
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: the end of the year, you know, we'll look up

589
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: and see where we are. It's a great answer, and

590
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of season left. I mean, we shocked

591
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, which is Love's pro football. The people rush

592
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: to the end of the season before we're even closer. Well, yeah,

593
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: you know, that's the that's the benefit of being a

594
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: fan or being somebody they have the luxury. People have

595
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: the luxury of riding riding the roller coaster. Right for

596
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: myself and for our football team, you know, we can't

597
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: do that because that's detrimental to our football team and

598
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: our and our growth. You know, if you're up and down,

599
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: up and down, up and down, your performance is not

600
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: going to continually grow like we talk about. Right, I

601
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: asked you if you're having fun this year? Did you

602
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: have fun on the show with us today? It was,

603
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's a highlight of my day every time.

604
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: Every time it's like Christmas come early. Yeah, yeah, yoga

605
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: but cover and yeah. And then were the last thought

606
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: any early thoughts about the Colts and Andrew Luck and

607
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They're running that seemed to running the

608
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: football pretty well. Yeah, you know, they had had a

609
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: good week running the football last week against a good

610
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: Jets team. You know, we know what Andrew does. He

611
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: leads the leads the league and attempts, you know, so

612
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: far pasting the football. Uh, you know, you know Frank

Speaker 1: prepared and ready to go. So you know, we're gonna

Speaker 1: guy week on his off day. We're back with more.

620
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: Steve and I Coming Back One goes live from One

621
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio one Goes Live from

622
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: one Goes Drive Jim, if you Steve Tasker here until

623
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: three o'clock this afternoon, the Bill is getting ready to

624
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 1: play the Colts. Kyle Williams. Great appearance by Kyle. Love

625
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: having him on the show. Loved his answer about when

626
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: I asked him, and I'm minute. I was thinking about

627
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: it the other day. I did a thing with Kyle

628
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: and Eric Wood last Monday, Steve a Bill Speakers series,

629
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of the questions dealt with the reaction

630
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: to the you know, the making the playoffs and the

631
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: win at Miami in the locker room scene, and it

632
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: was a wonderful moment. It really was a wonderful moment

633
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: and how important that was to Kyle and Eric and

634
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: everybody in that locker room. And then when you see

635
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: the way this season has started. It's only it starts

636
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: six games, but it's been difficult. At one point this week,

637
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: I think, coming on on the plane the other day,

638
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: I thought, man, did Kyle sign up for this? Yeah?

639
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: But he had the perfect answer. He said, No, I'm

640
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: all about the team. I want to see how this

641
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: team answer. Take it from a guy like me. I

642
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: was on a great team, and I said when I retired,

643
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: the thing I was going to miss miss most was,

644
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: you know, winning games with the team, with those guys,

645
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: having the fun with them, you know, being in the

646
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: locker room. I think Kyle gets that, and believe me,

647
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: when you retire from the NFL, that's it. There's nothing

648
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: else like it. You can't go You don't go into

649
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: broadcasting for a team, you don't go into anything. You know,

650
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: even as starting a business of your own, it's not

651
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: the same. Um. It's one of a kind industry in

652
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: a one of a kind sport that is impossible to duplicate.

653
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: And I think guys like Kyle get that. You understand that,

654
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: whether you're winning or losing, it's a really healthy, fun

655
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: environment to live in and to work in and to

656
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: and to be paid very well to do. UM. I

657
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: think it's really UM. I think it's really interesting that

658
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: you know there is you think we should have been.

659
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure that they're going to be time if this

660
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: season doesn't turn out the way they wanted to, that

661
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Kyle look back and say he wishes it would have. Sure,

662
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: but I don't think he'll regret anything about coming back

663
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: and playing for another year. It was a great answer

664
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: just to really I found it inspiring. Um, I really did.

665
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: And actually somebody on Twitter. We'll replay that later in

666
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, come back, and it's what it's all

667
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: about it. You're right, Yeah, I guess I was asking

668
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: you your look, the season's not over right, we're a

669
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: third of the way into it. But in a way

670
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: I was asking, man, do you ever do you have

671
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: a chance to these first six games and think is

672
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: this really what I wanted to come back for? And no,

673
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't even hesitate, he said, no, not

674
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: think it that way. I'm thinking I love being on

675
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: a team. Love being on a team. And we had

676
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: one response on Twitter. I still believe tweets in great

677
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: untery with Kyle Williams. Sounds very positive. A lot of

678
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: games to play, and that really is the point. Six

679
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: games is one third a little bit more than one

680
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: third of the season. I don't know how to right

681
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: the story of this twenty eighteen Buffalo bill season yet, Steve,

682
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: nobody does. Yes, they have problems now and they're in

683
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: a bad spot at the quarterback spot right now, but

684
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: stick around, things will change. I know that, and I

685
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: think it's interesting too, And I wanted to bring this

686
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: up to Connor, I didn't really have a chance. We

687
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: were talking about better stuff, but you know, this is

688
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: a game this last week. I think that is particularly

689
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: for me. I told him it was encouraging for me

690
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 1: because the defense played so well using it the Houston

691
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: game and they really you know, that's a game that

692
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: you really feel like got away from me. And that's

693
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: why it's frustrating. That's why it's really it almost is

694
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: doubly frustrating at this point in time because that we

695
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: all know how valuable these wins are to a team

696
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: like the Bills in the situation where they're in a

697
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback where they got all this stuff going offensively,

698
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: where they haven't been able to put it together, you know,

699
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: with a lack of weapons on the outside, with their

700
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: offensive line was shuffled around early in the season. They're finally,

701
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, to get a win out of a game

702
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: like that would have been enormous for this team. But

703
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. It was right there, and it was

704
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: right there. They played in so many ways well enough

705
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: to win that game, and Kyle, like, listen, we were

706
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: one play with a ball on the ground away from

707
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: winning that game, and that puts you because of that

708
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 1: play or whatever play you want to pick in this

709
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: game like it. That play puts us all in this

710
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: spot where it feels like not that great of a

711
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: season as opposed to think of where you'd beat if

712
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: they pull that game out, Like, yeah, well, we're gonna

713
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: maintain with Derek Anderson, We're gonna be a right. Josh

714
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna get back in and a week or two and

715
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: whatever it is, we're gonna be all right. This defense

716
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: is gonna keep us in. We're gonna be able to

717
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: steal a couple of you know, it's all that different

718
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: rhetoric that puts you in a bad spot, and it's

719
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: it's fun to have Kyle come in and say, you know,

720
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know, there are nothing changes

721
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: for there. They're gonna get ready, they're gonna play. They

722
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: feel like confident and for sure they're confident they can

723
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: go to Indianapolis and win. Our Twitter question today if

724
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: the Bills need to replace Josh Hannen because of injury,

725
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: and it looks like that's gonna be the case. Yesterday,

726
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott said he is week to week with his

727
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: elbow injury if they need to replace Josh Shannen because

728
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: of injury, can they win if they go with veteran

729
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: quarterback Derek Anderson. We don't know if they're going that way.

730
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: We both think that that's likely course, but nothing is

731
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: set in stone. We anticipate that Sean McDermott will make

732
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: that announcement tomorrow. I anticipate tomorrow morning when he meets

733
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: the media. But your response, if they have to replace

734
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: Joshannen because of injury, can they win with Derek Anderson?

735
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: On Twitter, sixty two percent of you say yes they can.

736
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Thirty eight percent of you say no. On the tweet

737
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: sheet from J W. Socks, I think they should give

738
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Peterman at least the first half. Anderson is such an

739
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: unknown at this time. Although Anderson may be a bigger

740
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: problem for the Colts, I don't know about that. I

741
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: mean Peter, yeah, yeah, and yeah. Anderson is an unknown,

742
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 1: although you know he's played in the league for thirteen

743
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: years and I don't look. Peterman has not played well.

744
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: You can't ignore that. As much as I love the guy,

745
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: I love his work ethic, I love what he's the

746
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: kind of teammate he is here, but he has not

747
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: played well when he's hit the chance to play. So

748
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: he's like in his second year in the league, Derek

749
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: Andersons in his twelfth year in the league. I don't know,

750
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: we'll see You're right, I don't You're not going to

751
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: see him switch quarterbacks in and out as a game

752
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: plan because the theory is, and it's right, there's only

753
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: so much time to get ready, and you want to

754
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: spend every minute of every day getting one guy ready

755
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: to play, because by doing it the other way, you

756
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: get two guys kind of half ready to play, and

757
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: that's not where you want to be, particularly with Derek

758
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: Anderson and Nate Peterman. We've got another reply from the

759
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, Marty Rogers. The defense has been better each week,

760
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: and though we lack offensive talent, there are enough plays

761
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: to be made to win games against most teams in

762
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: the league. Anderson understands defenses. I don't think will be overwhelmed.

763
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: He can manage a game to get us wins. And

764
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: let's face it, how much what he had had to

765
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: do last week to get a win, right? Right? Yeah,

766
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: they weren't doing much on offense. Would do anything on

767
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: offense during last week? Or you know, Josh Allen. The

768
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: best throw he made was the one he got hit on.

769
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: It had to come out of the game, and it

770
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: was a good throw. He actually did make another forty

771
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: nine forty two yard play that got called back on

772
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: the illegal penalty illegal formation. So you know there were

773
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: throws to be made and plays to be made. How

774
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: good does you know if the defense for the Buffalo

775
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: Bills can play as well as it has in the

776
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: last two or three weeks, how good does Derek Anderson

777
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: really have to be? But if he doesn't, If he doesn't,

778
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: if he doesn't turn it over and puts one touchdown

779
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: on the on the board with a couple of field goals,

780
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: they can't beat us. I mean, that's the thoughts. The

781
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: way it's played out, that's the way he's played out,

782
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: so right, like take their chances from there. I'm with you.

783
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: A call from Frank and Williams. Bill, Frank, what do

784
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: you think can the Bills win if Derek Anderson has

785
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: to play? I don't think so. He's did an E

786
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: League forever. We know what he is. He stopped after

787
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: a coll of plays, didn't win a game or two

788
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: it ex could win anything significant about playoffs or anything

789
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: I got ask about two questions if you let me.

790
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: The first one is we're third the way into the

791
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: season here, and I wonder what you think of the

792
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: rules in the kickoff now if you had a chance

793
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: to evaluate that. And secondly, I was what is so

794
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: hard about throwing an outpass like he's has been throwing

795
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: those passes? They're eight years old, and is it that

796
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: hard to read the feel to see who's open and

797
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: who's getting covered. Yeah, I don't understand. I just I

798
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: don't get it. All right, here's the here's the thing.

799
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: You're right, and here's what happens if the reason a

800
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: couple of these and I think a couple of the

801
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: picks that Peterman is thrown on these outroutes, one thing

802
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: is this, the defense knows what they're gonna do. Peterman's

803
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: a second year player, he's very young, and he doesn't

804
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: recognize when a team sends pressure as fast as he should.

805
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: And one of the problems is when the teams are

806
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: sending pressure, they're defensive back. The defensive backs that are

807
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: on that defense know that they're sending pressure. They know

808
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: that the ball is going to come out fast. Peterman

809
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: doesn't until after the ball is snapped when he goes

810
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: out to hit one of his quick outlets because there's

811
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: pressure coming the defense to backs aren't retreating, and his

812
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: arm strength and his savvy aren't there enough to know

813
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: that he can't throw that ball when a dB doesn't backpedal.

814
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: It's velocity right, it turns out, it turns into a

815
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: pick and Peterman because he, let's face it, we're treating

816
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman like we would treat Derek Anderson. We're acting

817
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: like Nate Peterman should know a lot of things that

818
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen doesn't know, or that kind of Nate Peterman's

819
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: young too, and he's as smart as he is, as

820
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: good a player as he has been at times. The

821
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: fact that when a team sends pressure and their dbs

822
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: don't back out of there, his arm strength isn't gonna

823
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: overcome a dB that jumps that route. Now, that was

824
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: a bad throat. We've seen him also makes some poor

825
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: throws out there too. Even the throw that got picked

826
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: off in Houston was an inaccurate, bad throw to a

827
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: bad spot. And he didn't get any help from Benjamin either,

828
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: because Benjamin was gonna kind of hitch and go. It

829
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: looked like I mean, the dB was way he wasn't

830
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: even in front of Benjamin when he caught the ball.

831
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: So you know, there was a lot of stuff going

832
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: on in that pick six, not just Peterman, but I

833
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: think you gotta lay a lot of it at the

834
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: fact that the reason that outroute is so difficult and

835
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: it looks so bad when Peterman throws it is because invariably,

836
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: you look at the play last year and the pick

837
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: six he threw in LA against the Chargers and the

838
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: pick six he threw this last week against the Houston

839
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: Texans was because the defensive back jumped the route because

840
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: they knew they were sending pressure. They were that ball

841
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: was gonna have to come out of there because if

842
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: it didn't, the quarterback was going to go down anyway.

843
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: So the defensive backs are jumping in, it looks like

844
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: a bad throw and a bad read and all of

845
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: that stuff because the pressures there and that's what happens

846
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: on the out route. And another thing too, you're talking

847
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: about Frank, you asked a question. I don't know if

848
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: you're still there, but yeah, yeah, the question is about

849
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: we're not talking about, Yeah, the kickoffs. I'll get to

850
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: that in a minute, But you said this about Derek Anderson.

851
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,959
Speaker 1: You don't think you know, he's a stop gap? He said,

852
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: how good do you think Derek Anderson has to be

853
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: this week? With a defense playing as well as the Colts,

854
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean, as well as the Bills defense is playing,

855
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: How good does Derek Anderson really have to be to

856
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: win this week? That's the kind of guy who could

857
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: who might help you win a game or two. But

858
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: I just think, right the address of the guys in

859
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: the league know him and looking back at the Houston

860
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: games saying what if we had to Anderson? That's how

861
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: really that's that's hindsight twin right, right, But well, how

862
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: good do you think he could be this week? If

863
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: the Bills defense continues to dominate like they have, he

864
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: could against the Calts. I think he could be an

865
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: optimate for they win the game for sure. Yeah, I agree.

866
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: Now you're talking in your in your comment before he

867
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: said he's not gonna win the playoff games, right, Listen,

868
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: if he's still playing at the end of the year,

869
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: it's because you know, Josh Allen has taken his injury

870
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: comes out to be, you know, way worse than we thought,

871
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: or he maybe he got injured again, he came back

872
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: in again. Whatever, But um, you're right. I mean I

873
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: think no, for this week. I think Derek Anderson is

874
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: more than enough quarterback, uh to to get the Bills

875
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: over the hump and get a win this week. And

876
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: that's what we're really talking about. It's a week to

877
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: week league. As far as the kickoff rules, Frank is

878
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: a good question. And I've talked to a bunch of

879
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: special teams coordinators in my sideline gigs. I go out

880
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: but pre game and in variably one of them, you know,

881
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: the special teams guys will come over and I'll ask

882
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: them about it. I think what I hear from them

883
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: is it's exactly what they wanted. They're getting some chances

884
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: at some really good returns with the kicks when they

885
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: get a chance to return them. And I think most

886
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: of these guys expect. You know, the Bills have got

887
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of games sixth of their last nine games

888
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: or in Buffalo late in the year, here in Orchard Park,

889
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: same thing in in New England, same thing in the Jets,

890
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: same thing with you know all these Chicago uh these

891
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: teams know that in the North, in the weather, when

892
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: the weather's bad in Green Bay or whatever, They're going

893
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: to get a lot more chances to return kicks and

894
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: then we're really going to get an idea about how

895
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: much this is effective. But I think you're going to

896
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: see some returns. I think I think you're gonna see

897
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: some big plays. I maintained I told a lot of

898
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: people who anybody'd listen before the season started. I think

899
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a bunch of touchdowns on kickoff, a

900
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: lot of There's been a lot of touch backs. Yeah.

901
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: And I think also the way they ages will touch,

902
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: the fewer touchbacks, more returns, and teams are gonna get

903
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: some reps at full speed. You can't return it. You

904
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: can't practice at full speed. I think you're gonna get

905
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: some timing right, Teams are gonna start to get a

906
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: little bit better and better. I think you're gonna see

907
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: some touchdown towards the end of the second half of

908
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: the year. I'm still maintaining that it hasn't really played

909
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: out like that, but I think we are. Frank text

910
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: for your call, We're back with more calls and more

911
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet. Can the Bills win if they

912
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: have to go to Derek Anderson this week, give us

00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: one dolls live from One Bills Drive. This is Buffalo

916
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. This is how we roll. This is one

917
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: Bill's Live from One Bills Drive. Steve, you can't hand

918
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: me something too seconds where we come back on the

919
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: air and expect me to read it. This is what

920
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: I want to talk, all right, go for it, Rich, God,

921
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: don't hand it to me. Second. I'm like, I'm trying

922
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: to you about it, but I didn't tell you what

923
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: I was getting this. Rich got Rick Goslin, who is

924
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: Dallas there for a long time and I know him

925
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: real well. He came out with this. He says, here's

926
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: the sad state of the defense in the NFL. We

927
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: had Kyle Williams on talking about how well the Buffalo

928
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: defense is playing, and there's a couple others in the

929
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: league that are playing well as well, he said, but

930
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: here's the sad state of defense in the NFL. This

931
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: is Rick Goslin of the Dallas Morning News. The Jacksonville

932
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: Jaguars have allowed eight hundred and two yards over the

933
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: last two weeks and a pair of lopsided losses and

934
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: still ranked second in the NFL and defense. The rule

935
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: changes have transformed NFL defense from a game of dominance

936
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: to a game of survival. I don't know if I'm

937
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: all in on that. I don't know what. Well, first

938
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: of all, that tells you how well Jacksonville's defense played

939
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: before the last two games, that's right, you know. And

940
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: also we've seen the Bills defense really dominate now they

941
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: have now this last week. It didn't translate into a win,

942
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: But I mean, how bad did their offense play? How

943
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: bad they are? Special teams played pretty bad? Yeah, they weren't.

944
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: They weren't effective at all, and special teams had two

945
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: huge mistakes that cost them the ability to win that game.

946
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: We've seen some and I saw the Baltimore Ravens shut

947
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: out the Tennessee Titans last week and the Tennessee Titans

948
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: couldn't score very money on the Bills and it both

949
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: those were losses because their offense couldn't get it going right.

950
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: So I think there's something to it. Particularly we've all

951
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: seen too, you know, every rule change we have, there's

952
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: a little trend of topics going on in the offseason,

953
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: about every rule change is about hamstringing the defense, right,

954
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: you know you never see the defense get a break. No, well,

955
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean there are those who would argue that that's

956
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: what the league wants, that's what the television networks want.

957
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: Some people argue that's what the fans want. I'm not

958
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: so certain about that. Two weeks ago, after the Bills

959
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: beat Tennessee in what was a defensive game, really good

960
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: defense on both sides. I talked to Sean McDermott about it.

961
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I kind of like good defensive

962
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: games like that. Chanlotte, with his defensive background, I think agreed.

963
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: I know you agreed with me. But is it your

964
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: belief that most fans want to see forty to forty

965
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: to thirty seven scores? I don't know about that. I

966
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: don't watch Did you watch the Green Bay San Francisco?

967
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: I saw the highlights today, I didn't watch the game.

968
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: It was fantastic, it was fourteen seventeen. But do you

969
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: want first quarter? Do you want every game to be

970
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: like that? I don't know what kind of fun? Okay,

971
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: it was kind of fun. I watched Kansas City fourth

972
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: quarter Kansas City in New England, the other day and

973
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: that was kind of fun too, Yeah, that was. Isn't

974
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: there a value in defense anymore? There's no. I think

975
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: it's point there's no value in good defense anymore. I

976
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 1: think when you know, good defense means consistent shutdown defense. Uh,

977
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: like we saw the Bills put up last week against Houston,

978
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: Like we saw Baltimore put up against the Tennessee Titans

979
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: last week. You know there you do see once in

980
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: where like the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think what people like

981
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: about defense sometimes Murph is spectacular defense. They like a

982
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: defense that turns it over, like the Bills. They like

983
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: a defense that gets sacks. They like a defense that, uh,

984
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, does special things, you know, makes great you know, interceptions,

985
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. They don't like a defense that

986
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: is and I think you get that when you get

987
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: these offenses that are airing it out. You don't want

988
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: a defense that stops the run. I mean, how fun

989
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: is that? The guy? You know, there's nothing worse for

990
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: all of us to watch than an off tackle run

991
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: for one yard. And that's the way. It's first down,

992
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: second down, third down punt, three straight runs or an

993
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: incomplete pass or you know whatever. No but that's no fun.

994
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: Here are the top five ranked defenses in the NFL.

995
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore is number one. They're pretty good. Buffalo is number three.

996
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm just going down here alphabetically. Jacksonville is number two,

997
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: Dallas is number four, Washington is number five. Of that group,

998
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: who's the best team, Baltimore, I guess Jacksonville. Here are

999
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: the top five offensive teams in the NFL. Kansas City

1000
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: is number five, really fun team to watch, a lot

1001
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: of fun. Green Bay's number four, The same Rams are

1002
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: number one, New Orleans are number three, Tampa Bay's number two.

1003
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: Th Bay out. But four of those five top offensive

1004
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: teams are are really good draws on television. Right, So

1005
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: I guess the league has given people what they want.

1006
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: You want offense, you want points, you want to you know,

1007
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: lots of numbers and high scoring. Think about big ratings.

1008
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, ratings are up this year. Ratings

1009
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: have rebounded this ye. So La Tampa Bay, New Orleans,

1010
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, the Chargers, Atlanta at Baltimore, Minnis. Yeah,

1011
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: all these teams that are kind of lightening it up

1012
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: with yards. Um, Well, there you go. I guess that's

1013
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: where it's going. I mean, I guess I'm prepared to

1014
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: concede that, and I think I prefer I like defensive

1015
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: games too. I like them both, but I don't mind

1016
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: seeing good defensive game points per game. It's New Orleans,

1017
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City, LA, New England, the Chargers, Cincinnati. You know

1018
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: those are the teams that are putting up points a game.

1019
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: And you know that those are the teams. Let's face it,

1020
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: we've we've seen them on TV a bunch, right, yeah,

1021
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean people want to that's what the you know

1022
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: they're and we were talking about this too, all this

1023
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: this NFL. So we just now found out and I'm

1024
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: going to San Francisco for the lhar Rams game in

1025
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine Ers game this weekend. We

1026
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: still didn't know where we were going the next week

1027
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 1: after that until this morning. Because they're trying to pick

1028
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 1: games to put on these Monday night, Thursday night, Sunday

1029
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: night games, these primetime games that are gonna be you know,

1030
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: great matchups, and so they're keeping us really flexible on

1031
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: where we're actually even gonna do games, and I think

1032
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: it's helping with the ratings. But people want to see

1033
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: games like they saw last night in Green Bay. They

1034
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: want to see Aaron Rodgers going down in the last

1035
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: minute of the game and winning it or losing it,

1036
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: you know. I mean that's so. I don't know if

1037
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: Rick Goslin's on the right track or not. I still

1038
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: think there's value in a great defense, absolutely, particularly when

1039
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: you've got you got to be able to give a

1040
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: team and the ability to put together a good defense.

1041
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to a league where the best defense

1042
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: in the league gives up twenty seven points a game,

1043
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: right don't. I don't, But it's happening. It's trending in

1044
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: that direction. What are we gonna get out of Derek

1045
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: Anderson if he is the starter on Sunday? That's the

1046
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: Twitter poll question that's out on the table. We're gonna

1047
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: talk with a guy who knows him pretty well. Joe

1048
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: Person covers the Carolina Panthers, where the Eric Anderson's been

1049
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: for the last seven years. He's a reporter for the

1050
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: athletic website in Charlotte, North Carolina. He's standing by to

1051
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: join this next we'll get to him. We'll get to

1052
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,759

1053
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: and get the Bill's win. If Derek Anderson asked to play,

1054

00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: into ESPN reported last night that Allen's injuries to the

1063
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: almar collateral ligament in his right elbow. It is not

1064
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: considered majored at this time, according to the report, but

1065
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: an MRI will be sent to a specialist for a

1066
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: second opinion. Sean McDermott said yesterday he and his staff

1067
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: are going to work through whether to start Derek Anderson

1068
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: or to start an eighteen Peterman this Sunday at Indianapolis.

1069
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: The Colts added a wide receiver today. They signed free

1070
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: agent wide receiver dontrelle Inman. They put wide receiver Marcus

1071
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: Johnson on injured reserve. Inman played forty nine career NFL

1072
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: games at his time with the Bears and the Chargers,

1073
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: one of the thirty catches throughout his career. Steelers do

1074
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: not expect running back laby On Bell to return to

1075
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: the team this week. According to ESBM, Steelers around their

1077
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: report on October twenty second, next Monday. Sources told ESPN

1078
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: earlier this month that Bell intended to report to the

1079
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: Steelers during the week seven to eight timeframe. Bell still

1080
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: has not been in touch with team officials or players,

1081
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: according to ESPN. Paul Allen, co founder of Microsoft and

Speaker 1: yesterday from complications of non Hodgkins lymphoma. He was sixty

1084
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: five years old. Allen co founded what became noman as

00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: up against Vegas. Buffalo defeated the Golden Knights four to

1089
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: two on home ice last Monday. The Sabers go into

1090

00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: the National League Championship Series. That game in LA. First

1095
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: pitch to night at nine O nine, and the Boston

1096
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: Red Sax go to Houston with their American League Championship

1098
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: And that's the update from One Bill's Drive, John Murphy's

1099
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: team tasker in our one Buffalo studio. So here's the setup.

1100
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: We don't know who's going to start a quarterback for

1101
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: the Bills on Sunday. Not likely to be Josh Allen.

1102
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: Assist status is week to week. So the Bills say

1103
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: they're working through this week. The coaching staff, we're eve,

1104
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: you're ready to go with Nathan Peterman or if they

1105
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: want to go with Derek Anderson. Steve and I think

1106
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 1: that it's likely that they'll get Derek Anderson ready to play.

1107
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: And we need to know more about Derek Anderson, so

1108
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: joining us on the Subway Fresh Steak Hotline. Longtime Carolina

1109
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: Panthers beat reporter covers the team for the Athletic Carolina

1110
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: Happy to have Joe person on the line with us, Joe,

1111
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker up here in Buffalo, Thanks

1112
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: for joining us. Yeah, what's going on, guys? It seems

1113
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: like you're a go to guy because there's so much

1114
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Carolina connection these days between these two teams. Right, Yeah,

1115
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm happy to do. And I've leaned

1116
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:38,959
Speaker 1: on the Bill's pr staff up there, Derek Boyko quite

1117
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: a bit and he's always been very good with me.

1118
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,959
Speaker 1: And so I appreciate you guys your interests and happy

1119
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: to talk to you about Derek Anderson. He was down

1120
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: in Carolina for seven years. I guess didn't play too

1121
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: much because of a guy named Cam Newton. What can

1122
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: you tell us about Derek? So, you know what, they

1123
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: really liked him here and he was uh he was

1124
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: a kind of a big time mentor for Cam Newton

1125
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: in the film room and the meeting room. Uh so

1126
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: they fought, of course. Derek Anderson had a lot of

1127
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: experience in this league with Cleveland and all his own

1128
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: all that started a lot of games in this league.

1129
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: But obviously when he came here, he knew it was

1130
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: going to be as a backup. Came to Charlotte the

1131
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 1: same year that Cam Newton did. And uh, they say,

1132
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: as I said, they that room started out with Rogers

1133
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 1: he as offensive coordinator and Mike Mike Shula as quarterbacks coach,

1134
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: and then Chad went on to Cleveland. But but the

1135
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: one kind and Shula got the promotion, as you guys know,

1136
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: But the one constant really was was Derek Anderson and

1137
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: him kind of helping Cam along certainly early in his

1138
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: career and even through the later stages, just with different

1139
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: concepts and helping him see coverages and masks coverages, and

1140
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: the two were pretty close. Uh, Anderson didn't get to

1141
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: play a lot of games here, but but he won

1142
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: a couple. I think it was two thousand and fourteen.

1143
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: Cam missed two games, both against Tampa Bay, and uh,

1144
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: and Anderson won both of those starts. How is he

1145
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: is he? You know, as a passer, as a thrower, Joe,

1146
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: what can you tell us about Derek Anderson as a passer, Well,

1147
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't throw it as hard as Camp did, But

1148
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: but you know he can still spin it. Uh, I

1149
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: know he you know, kind of just dealing with some

1150
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: sort of minor health stuff off and on at the

1151
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: end of last year. I think that may have been

1152
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: part of the reason he was available. Uh you know,

1153
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 1: he didn't get uh signed by any one point yet

1154
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: until until Brandon being came calm, but I was certainly

1155
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: he passed the political and he's healthy now, you know,

1156
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: he's a he's seen a lot in this league. I

1157
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: mean nothing, and I know this is a you know,

1158
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: a weird situation where you're kind of throwing to the wolves.

1159
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: But but Derek Anderson is not going to be phased

1160
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: by it. I mean, he's been around. He's seen probably

1161
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: every defensive gimmick and scheme that that you can see.

1162
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: Is it going to be easy this week if he

1163
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: ends up being startled, obviously not. But Hope be there.

1164
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: Hope be spending a lot of time in the buildings.

1165
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's probably working what they say coaches alas

1166
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: spitting in there when it's dark and leaving when it's dark,

1167
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: and and trying to absorb as much as he can

1168
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: to put himself in the bills in a position to

1169
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: be successful. So do you think there's any doubt or

1170
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: how likely do you think it is that the Bills

1171
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: could get him ready to play in just over well

1172
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: about thirteen or about twelve days to start for a

1173
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: team where you know, he just kind of parachuted into

1174
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: a week ago today. Yeah, that's that's a lot of time. Heck,

1175
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: the Panthers in two thousand ten bought Bryant Saint Pierian

1176
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: and he started Room against the Roads little week's time.

1177
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: But now, in all seriousness that, yeah, I don't know

1178
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: the situation. I you know, I haven't tried to reach

1179
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: out to anyone with the Bills to know, you know,

1180
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: I know obviously Peterman's an option, but I would tell

1181
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: you this, I would not be shocked if, if, if

1182
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson ends up starting, just because, as I said,

1183
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: I think he's smart enough, He's been around enough to

1184
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: pick things up quickly and a moment won't be too

1185
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: big for him. You know, as you said, parachuting in

1186
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: and kind of jumping right in don't seemed to me.

1187
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: The biggest challenge might just be verbage right the language,

1188
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: because as you said, he's seen just about everything. I

1189
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: know the Bills probably aren't doing any kind of offensive

1190
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: concepts that Derek Anderson has not seen. It's just trying

1191
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: to figure out what they call it here. I would think, yeah,

1192
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, and if if he were a defensive player,

1193
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: would be even easier, because I'm sure Sean McDermott has

1194
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the same herbage on the defensive side

1195
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: of the building up there. But but that won't be

1196
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: the case with Derek Anderson. But yeah, I mean, look,

1197
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: he's a guy that that had a lot of respects

1198
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: here vote from coaches and from players. I think there

1199
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: were you know, some folks in the building that that

1200
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: kind of thought and hope that he might come back.

1201
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: He was here for this the first year that Cam

1202
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: Newton has not had Derek Anderson as his backup quarterback,

1203
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, slash mentor, and there were, you know, some

1204
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: folks thought that they tried to reach out to him,

1205
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: even you know as late as training camp that Panthers

1206
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: ended up going with a younger guy and Taylor Heinichy,

1207
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: who has ties to more Turner h And that was

1208
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: one of the other things Anderson, you know, didn't have

1209
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: a lot of close ties with with nor Turner, and

1210
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: Norv wanted to bring his own guy, a younger guy,

1211
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: and so that's the direction the Panthers went. But but

1212
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 1: but it wasn't There was no kind of falling out

1213
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: by any means. I know Ron Rivera has a lot

1214
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: of respect for the job Derek Anderson did in his

1215
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 1: time here, as just about everyone in the organization. Yeah,

1216
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson he played in twenty and fourteen, he played

1217
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: six games for the Panthers. In fifteen sixteen he played

1218
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: five games. Of course, he appeared in three games last year,

1219
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: just I would assume in mop up duty. So he

1220
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: hasn't really had a lot of quarterback experience in the

1221
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: last seven years because of the fact that he's been

1222
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton and kind of mentoring him. He's been

1223
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: in for injuries at certain stretches. But you know, this

1224
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: is a guy that doesn't have a lot of miles

1225
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: on him, do you think, and at his agent. I mean,

1226
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. You mentioned some health issues. What

1227
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: were those that might keep him from playing? Yeah, I

1228
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: don't know, it was never really clear. I'm assuming it was.

1229
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything that would keep him from playing.

1230
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't anything major, but it was enough that I

1231
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: think he wanted to kind of reh have and get

1232
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: and get healthy, which which is the bill sign them

1233
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: obviously he is, um, yeah, he had the misfortune here.

1234
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: If you're a guy who and he kind of accepted

1235
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: his role. I mean, yeah, Cam Newton is a guy

1236
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: that that doesn't get injured, very awesome. I mean the

1237
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: one game that Anderson started at this I think it

1238
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: was Week one in twenty fourteen was Cam had gotten

1239
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: some broken ribs in a preseason game in New England

1240
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,439
Speaker 1: and then at the end of that season, which ended

1241
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: up the Panthers ended up making the playoffs with a

1242
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: seven eight and one record. So Anderson's two stints to

1243
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: games as the two games he wanted a starter, were

1244
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: very important in that Cam flipped his truck in a

1245
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: traffic outm here in downtown Charlotte, which which is what

1246
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: got me and Derek the other starts. So you know,

1247
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: he he knew what his role was here. He was

1248
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: playing behind a six foot five, two hundred and fifty

1249
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: found quarterbacks who you know, if certainly no one's indestructible,

1250
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: but that Cam bounces off a lot of would be

1251
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: tacklers and uh and so most of what most of

1252
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: the throws Derek Anderson made were in three games and

1253
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: in practice. And I will tell you this the couple

1254
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: of games that he started or played significant minutes, and

1255
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: he and Gregor he liked to go to tight end

1256
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: greg Olson a lot, and those two had a pretty

1257
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: strong on forre Hey, Joe. Last question I have for you,

1258
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: is there any evidence that Cam Newton missus Anderson as

1259
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: a mentor, as a as a presence in the quarterback

1260
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: room down there. Yeah, that's a that's a good question.

1261
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,479
Speaker 1: The thing about it is he what he has now

1262
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: is I'll tell you who kind of replaced Derek Anderson.

1263
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: It's not not the young quarterback Heinecky I mentioned. It's

1264
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: the young quarterbacks coach Scott Turner, North's son, who was

1265
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: here as sort of like an offensive quality control type

1266
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: guy early in Cam's career went with NORV to Minnesota,

1267
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: and actually I think before that he was even with

1268
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: Shud in Cleveland. But point being is he has passed

1269
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: to Charlotte, he has passed to Carolina and Cam Scott

1270
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: Turner's backlin NORV and they've got Cam playing at a

1271
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: pretty high level. Cam completing sixty five percent of his passes,

1272
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,959
Speaker 1: which will be by far a career high. But yeah,

1273
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: like I say, I think that that is not to

1274
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: say they don't say, don't miss Derek Anderson. He was

1275
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: well respected in his head. Yeah, and Joe, thanks for

1276
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: this good talking with you. We hope they're talking about

1277
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Thank you. Joe Person is a beat reporter for the

1278
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,120

Speaker 1: by Subway Restaurants proud to be locally owned and operated.

1281
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: When Joe answered that last question, you you had a

1282
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Carolina game on CBS, right, Yes, I did, and you play,

1283
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: You came back and said Cam Newton is the real deal.

1284
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: He's playing very well. He's right, Joe Person. He just

1285
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: told us that North Turner's got him playing at a

1286
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: high level, and he does. Cam Newton is. I always

1287
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: say he's the atomic bombs. He is all of that.

1288
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: He's the guy that ends it. He's when the day

1289
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: he stepped on the on the field as a pro

1290
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: football player, he was the best short yardage goal line

1291
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: back in the league right away. Because he's big, huge, strong,

1292
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: He's got the ball in his hands every time, and

1293
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: he can drop back and he can sling it or

1294
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: he tuck it and run and power it in. So um, yeah,

1295
01:00:54,200 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: they've cam Newton is amazingly in a league full of

1296
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: really big, strong, freaky athletes, he's the biggest, strongest, freakiest

1297
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: of them all. And he's he is and he's got

1298
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands every place. He's got a

1299
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: huge arm, can make all these throws, and uh huge personality.

1300
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the guy that you want to build

1301
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: a franchise around. And now North Turner and I know

1302
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 1: my partner in the booth, Steve Berlin, swears by North.

1303
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: He was on those Dallas teams that beat us in

1304
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and uh so NorVa has got him

1305
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. What is he? What's the

1306
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: deal with North Turner? Why? Why does he always work

1307
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: in this league? He's a quarterback direction Yeah, I think

1308
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: it's his his offensive mind. He's he's a much better

1309
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: coordinator than he has proven to be a head coach.

1310
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: He has a great feel for the personality of the

1311
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: guys he's working with. Um, he challenges his quarterbacks and

1312
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: also you know, kind of coaxes him as well. You know,

1313
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: so he uh, he's got a great he's you know,

1314
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: he really is good with quarterbacks. They love him, They

1315
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: love playing for him. He knows how they think and

1316
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: gives them stuff that gives them chances to win. And

1317
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: I get those guys love that. Always a job for

1318
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: North Turner in the league. There's always a job and

1319
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: guys like him, Yeah, San Phillips like waves, like like

Speaker 1: like Mike mclarkey. Yeah, guys. Yeah, you can go down

1322
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: the list of guys like Jim Schwartz, coordinator chiefensive coordinators.

1323
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 1: There's always a play a place for a guy who

1324
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: can get the most out of an entire group of

1325
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: guys rather than just one player. Yeah, one position. We're

1326
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: talking a lot about Derek Anderson because we think that

1327
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: he might be the guy this week. That's our Twitter poll. Uh,

1328
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, and look, the quarterback situation for the Bills

1329
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 1: up in the air. We anticipate things will become more

1330
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,959
Speaker 1: clear tomorrow. Right now, Josh Allen officially week to week

1331
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: with the injury he suffered the elbow injury. ESPN's Chris

1332
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Mortonson says it's an injury to the all nar collateral

1333
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: ligament in his right elbow, not considered major at this time,

1334
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: but more tests are underway week to week, according to

1335
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot yesterday. McDermot said yesterday he and his staff

1336
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: are going to work through whether Derek Anderson or Nathan

1337
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Peterman would replace Josh Allen. So that leads to our

1338
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: Twitter pole question today. We want to hear from you

1339
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: if the Bills need to replace Allen because of injury?

1340
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: Can they win with veteran quarterback Derek Anderson? Give us

1341
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: a call eight three five fifty toll free one eight

1342
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty or do it

1343
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: on Twitter at one Bills Live on the Twitter poll,

1344
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: sixty three percent of you say yes they can win

1345
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: with him. Thirty seven percent of you say no, they cannot.

1346
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Steve, you and I were talking about

1347
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: this during a break. I think we left it deliberately vague.

1348
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Here Can they win with Derek Anderson? Can they win

1349
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: this week? Is that what we're asking? Or are we

1350
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: asking can they win moving forward? I'm talking about this week?

1351
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: This week? Okay, we don't know. I'm not sure which

1352
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you I'm still with it. What happens

1353
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: if Derek Anderson comes in and then it's best case

1354
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: scenario and he lights it up, and then Josh Allen

1355
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: gets healthy, Well, you don't have to rush Josh back in. Well,

1356
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: that's true too, Josh can stay hurt for as long

1357
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: as they desired. But you know, you know, if they decide, hey,

1358
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: you're not quiet, Yeah, I mean, then where do you

1359
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: go if if Derrick Anderson comes in and plays well?

1360
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 1: But I think too, the plan always was, I don't

1361
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they really wanted Josh Hown to play

1362
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: as early as he has. I agree, And I think

1363
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: if Derrick Anderson comes in plays well, I think it

1364
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: could be his job to lose after that. Particularly, I mean,

1365
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: like I said, just at the beginning of this segment

1366
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: and the end of the last segment, how could does

1367
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Anderson really have to be with this defense playing the

1368
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 1: way they're playing? And this is now we're in the

1369
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: best case scenario territory, which is okay, it's okay for

1370
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: us to beds and I live my life. I do

1371
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: too for the most But if that if he's playing okay,

1372
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: and if the running game has shown pretty good signs

1373
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: of life the last couple of games, even last week.

1374
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: You know they can they're getting back to where they

1375
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: need to be with McCoy in particular and Ivory. If

1376
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: the running game stays you know, productive, if the defense

1377
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: plays lights out that they have, you are absolutely right,

1378
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: how good does Derrick Handerson have to be? Listening, If

1379
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: he can complete his passes or you know, keep the

1380
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: defense off balance, the running game get even better. Yeah,

1381
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's a run. It's a pass to set

1382
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: up the run. Kind of league they've got. You got

1383
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: to get eight guys out of the box. If you

1384
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: can get down to seven guys in the box or

1385
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: six guys in the box, worth you know, go three

1386
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: wides or whatever, everything changes then for Lashawn McCoy and

1387
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory. But I mean that's a real question. How

1388
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: good does this guy have to be If they can

1389
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: play like they did last week? Yeah, and not making six,

1390
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: they're playing against a much statistically speaking, they're playing against

1391
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: a much less effective defense this week than they did

1392
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: last week. I mean statistically speaking, right, I mean four offense, listen,

1393
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: get ahead of it. Listen. You know the defense has

1394
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: to continue to play well, they've got to shut them down,

1395
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: they've got to get turnovers, they've got to play lights

1396
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: out for this scenario to even be in a in

1397
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: on the table. But I'm telling you that the defense

1398
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: seems to be staying healthy. I don't think they lost

1399
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,439
Speaker 1: anybody to injury on that side of the football. There's

1400
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: no reason to think they're not going to stay at

1401
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: the top of their game. I mean, that's you know,

1402
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: that's the real question. And you think back to how

1403
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: good Derek Anderson would have had to be in this

1404
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: last game just to get him out of it with

1405
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: a win. So, I you know, it's it's fun to

1406
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: think about, right, I don't know how long I lay right.

1407
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: One thing we haven't talked about it, and one thing

1408
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: we haven't spoken about at length is something I think

1409
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: kind of goes a little bit deeper, and it's kind

1410
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: of hard to put a quantify. Is how how much

1411
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: did Sean McDermott know about Derek Anderson in Carolina because

1412
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: he saw Derek Anderson throw against his defense all the

1413
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:44,959
Speaker 1: time in practice, and Brian day Ball had had Derrick

1414
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: Anderson in his room in Cleveland for an entire year.

1415
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: They were there together with day ball as offensive coordinates.

1416
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:52,439
Speaker 1: Of course, it was eight nine years ago, a long

1417
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: time ago. Nevertheless, they had some they had some serious

1418
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,919
Speaker 1: significant time together in a relationship together as well. Those

1419
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: relationships don't go away. And I think McDermott seeing Derrick

1420
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: Anderson play against his defense every day in practice probably

1421
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: said a lot about why they wanted him and they

1422
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: and we've heard it. I mean, they were trying to

1423
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,439
Speaker 1: sign him and at the same time they were trying

1424
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: to sign Aj McCarron. So that's an interesting thought about

1425
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: this of how much Sean McDermott thinks about Derek Anderson

1426
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 1: and how much he knows or thinks he can bring

1427
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: to the table. What do you think can they win

1428
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: with Derek Anderson? Give us a call eight three fifty

1429
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: toll free, eight five fifty two five fifty Frank on

1430
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: the line from East Amherst. Go ahead, Frank around the air, Hi,

1431
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: guys think taking my call? Sure thing no one has

1432
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: mentioned is what type of football shape could Derek Anderson been.

1433
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: He hasn't taken any hits or anything in what eighteen months? Well,

1434
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: nobody practices taken hits, Frank, but I'll get it. And

1435
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: all he has to do is really is get be

1436
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: fast enough to hand the football off or drop back

1437
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: seven steps. I mean, they're not going to expect him

1438
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: or put plays in for him that are designed to,

1439
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, have him test his athleticism. But I hear

1440
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Yeah, it just bothers me, you know,

1441
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,439
Speaker 1: because he hasn't There's always a thing called football shape,

1442
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: I know in other positions, but quarterback, well, maybe he

1443
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: won't take kids hopefully. Yeah, I don't know if you yeah,

1444
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: and I yeah, you're right, you're right. And when you

1445
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: see guys like Josh Allen or Cam Newton that we

1446
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: were just talking about a minute ago, you see athletes

1447
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: like that in there, you think, well, the guys, you

1448
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: got to be in pretty good shape to play it

1449
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: like that. And he hasn't been doing anything except playing

1450
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 1: with his kids for the past what year and a

1451
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: half something like that. Well, he was, he was in

1452
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 1: he was in football shape in January February. I mean,

1453
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 1: he was playing for the Carolina Panthers less than a

1454
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: year ago, so and he was thinking about maybe coming back,

1455
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 1: and he was doing some you know what I mean.

1456
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: So he was he had been thrown a little bit.

1457
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: He had told us on the radio. I think just

1458
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: this last week, so I'm pretty sure he can still

1459
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: throw it and that basically right now, it's about all

1460
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm interested. Yeah too, I'm just worried about him getting

1461
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: wecked a few times. Listen, if he gets whacked and

1462
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: gets hurt, you know, we'll all we'll all be wearing

1463
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: bags over our heads probably, you know. Thanks. Thanks, right,

1464
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 1: let's go to filling north town of wind the Hello, Phil,

1465
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Yeah, thanks for taking my call down.

1466
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: I was runner how the running game should really pick

1467
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: up with Derek Anderson. I think that they could go

1468
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,600
Speaker 1: back to old school and put the Jamarco in the

1469
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: backfield and do some blocking instead of lining up illegally

1470
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: on a big play. Yeah. What what I was wondering

1471
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: about Derek Anderson is that do you think that he, uh,

1472
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 1: he's going to be the man because Nathan Peterman really

1473
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: cannot ever see the field for the Bills again. Well,

1474
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: I'll never say never. Feel I get I mean, I

1475
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: get where you're at and I get where you're coming from.

1476
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: But we haven't been told yet, and I would It

1477
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: was really really set it to light to me. He

1478
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,759
Speaker 1: said this, Tom Brady would have to throw one housing

1479
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: interceptions in a road to have the same interception rate

1480
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: that Nathan Peterman has. Yeah, yeah, that I really do.

1481
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: And I really, I'm I really I'm a huge billspan

1482
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 1: thirty years season ticket holder, and I don't want to

1483
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: watch Nathan Peterman play for us. Well, you don't have

1484
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: to be a big Bills fan not just want to

1485
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: see Nathan Peterman play. I mean, I get it. It's

1486
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: been hard to watch, and it's been it's been sad too.

1487
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: It's been kind of discouraging for the kid. I mean,

1488
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: you hate to see a kid go through that. But

1489
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: by the same token, it's a race, I think, phil

1490
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: how fast they can get Derek Anderson ready to play,

1491
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: how much of the offense he can absorb, how much

1492
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: they feel they need to get into this game and

1493
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: win it with and how much can he do it?

1494
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: And and it's a They're gonna give themselves the best

1495
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: chance they can to win. Uh. Certainly, Derrick Anderson brings

1496
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: some physical abilities. I don't know what those are. I mean,

1497
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: we haven't even seen now he's certainly we had him

1498
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: on the show. He's you know, all I can do

1499
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: is look at him. He's really tall, like Josh Allen is.

1500
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can run a lick, and

1501
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if he can

1502
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: throw it. I don't know if his arm is as

1503
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 1: strong as Nate Peterman's or weaker than Nate Peterman's. I

1504
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: can't tell you. But what I do know is the

1505
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,759
Speaker 1: Bills are going to evaluate it, and they're gonna let

1506
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: him try and convince him, convince the coaching staff. The

1507
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: Bills are going to try and get him to convince

1508
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: them that he is the best option. And I'm sure

1509
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: he's working toward doing just that. That doesn't mean the

1510
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: doors completely closed on Nate Peterman at all. And you know,

1511
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 1: I get it. There's a lot of emotion, a lot

1512
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 1: of victoryol director and Nathan Peterman for his performance against

1513
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers and Sunday and the way he finished up there.

1514
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: But the Bills, you know, they can't be emotional about this.

1515
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot cannot be emotional about this. He's one of

1516
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks healthy quarterbacks available this week, which is

1517
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: why McDermot said yesterday, We're gonna work through it, see

1518
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 1: whether we go with Peterman or with Derek Anderson. He

1519
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: was asked. Sean was asked yesterday by the media, looking

1520
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 1: at the tape of Peterman's performance, what did you think

1521
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 1: if he had a chance to look at it? And

1522
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: here's what he said about Nathan Peterman's game at Houston.

1523
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: I thought they're early part of his game where he

1524
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: came in, made some made some good throws, had the

1525
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,760
Speaker 1: touchdown the to Zay, move the ball a little bit

1526
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: for us, had some what I thought were good throws

1527
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: on third down, one to Chris and the flat one

1528
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 1: to I believe it was Andrea with the middle on

1529
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: the third and long, and then the second part of

1530
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough, so I turned the ball over.

1531
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 1: I can't do that, John, given one transpired yesterday, and really,

1532
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: what's what's happened to the majority of the time in

1533
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: eight thirst, How do you justify to the team works

1534
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 1: for the fan base whoever playing him? Again? Yeah, I

1535
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: understand where you're coming from on that. That's something that

1536
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: as like I said, like I said earlier, here, we're

1537
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 1: working through and and you know, number one, I got

1538
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: to put the right guy out there that I feel

1539
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: like it's best for our football team. I understand the

1540
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 1: fans and that sentiment. At the same time, I've got

1541
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: to do what we feel as best for the football

1542
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: team moving forward. And as much as you might not

1543
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: want to hear that, that's really what Sean McDermot has

1544
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 1: to do. He can't respond to emotion, right, He can't

1545
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: respond to people who say, I never want to see

1546
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: that guy in the field again. He can't respond. You can't.

1547
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 1: If the head coach, you have responsibility not to think

1548
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: like that, not to act like that. And that's all

1549
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: he's doing here. I'm pretty confident that McDermott will come

1550
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: up with the right solution here. And I'm pretty confident

1551
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: that he's probably gonna say we're gonna get Derek Anderson

1552
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: ready to play. I'm not certain that that way, but

1553
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident that's way it'll go. Yeah, And I

1554
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: think too, he'll allow Derek Anderson to make the decision

1555
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: with the way he practices and plays and handles himself.

1556
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: He'll let Derek Anderson either win the job in this

1557
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: next two or three days, or if he hasn't in

1558
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: the last week, he'll say, you know what, I'm ready

1559
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: to go do this. He'll let him get in the huddle,

1560
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: He'll let him call some plays, let the team see

1561
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: how he a veteran quarterback he is, and watch him

1562
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: spin it, and the guys will say, you know what

1563
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: he probably does, and the coaching staff will agree, is

1564
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: you know what, this guy probably can play for us,

1565
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: and he probably can win a game for us. If

1566
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:53,759
Speaker 1: he can't do any of that, if he's struggling spitting

1567
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: out the offense, if they can't get him up to

1568
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 1: speed with the verbiage, if he can't, if he goes

1569
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: out there and throws it in and you know can't

1570
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: get it done, you know that's it. I mean, you're

1571
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: you're backed into a corner and you're you're in Nathan Petermanville.

1572
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 1: That does not seem likely at all to me. I've

1573
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 1: seen and I remember speaking with uh Al Davis when

1574
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: he was still around UM way back years ago. He

1575
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 1: says that he goes, you got you gotta have one

1576
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 1: of those old guys on your roster because it takes

1577
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,719
Speaker 1: him about three days to get ready. You can't surprise

1578
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: him with anything, and they're not gonna embarrass you. And

1579
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to make throws whether they read

1580
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: the defense or not. They're gonna make the throws. And

1581
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: you know that's kind of the situation you're in with

1582
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson. You kind of lean on his ability that

1583
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 1: he's learning his depth of knowledge about football, whether he

1584
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 1: knows specifically which guys which and X and Y and

1585
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: Z and the and this word means this route or that,

1586
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: or he'll know concepts and he'll be able to go

1587
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: back there and look at the field and he'll see

1588
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: theoretically be able to see where the defense weaknesses and

1589
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: know by design, We're gonna have somebody in there and

1590
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw at who matter who it is. So

1591
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that going on. But he

1592
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: has to prove I think in the next if in

1593
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: this last week and this week coming up, that he's

1594
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: in that spot, they can do it. All Right, we're

1595
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: taking a break, we're coming back. We're talking more about

1596
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. When we return, we'll take more of your

1597
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: phone calls. Read some more from the tweet sheet. Can

1598
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson if he has to play, can the Bills

1599
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: win with him? What do you think? Give us a call?

1611
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker talking about the quarterback, the lemma the Bills have.

1612
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:15,680
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? We don't know. We may

1613
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: know tomorrow. Sean McDermot may step to the pony in

1614
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning and say we're going with this guy, and

1615
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 1: it may be Derek Anderson. Our question of the day

1616
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 1: is if they played Derek Anderson, can they win with

1617
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson? Got a number of interesting tweets on this one, Steve,

1618
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: you got one to ring in front of YEA, yeah

1619
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 1: this and I was laughing. I wasn't going to read

1620
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: it because I thought, but it is pretty funny. Act

1621
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: it's too well written. It's too well written. And this

1622
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: is from Mallory Livingston, and it's pretty good at now.

1623
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny analogy. Here we go, and I'm not

1624
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: miss I'm not a negative guy, but this is pretty funny,

1625
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 1: negative and funny. Here says says starting Anderson means all

1626
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 1: the engines have failed, we are out of fuel, and

1627
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: the nearest airport is too far away. Our only choice

1628
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 1: is to land the plane on Lake Erie. It can

1629
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: be done, but don't pretend this is part of any process.

1630
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: It is a desperate attempt to stave off disaster. That

1631
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 1: that is good stuff right there. That that is the

1632
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: tweet of the day. And I not necessarily, I don't know,

1633
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: necessarily subscribe to all of that. But it's pretty well written.

1634
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: It's funny. You know. I don't know why, but getting

1635
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: on the plane Saturday to fly to where do we go? Houston?

1636
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: I actually paid attention when they told you where the

1637
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: seat cushions are the life. And I don't know why

1638
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 1: I thought that. I thought this plane could crash in

1639
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Lake Erie. You think about plane crashes right when you

1640
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: find I know I think about it occasionally. I'm not

1641
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: paranoid about it, but I thought, I'm gonna pay attention

1642
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: because this plane could go down to Lake Erie. I

1643
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 1: want to know what where is the seat? Where's the

1644
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: cushion that's going down? You hope it's in Lake Eries.

1645
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: That gives you if it goes down anywhere else, you're

1646
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 1: a near knowledge Livingston. He kind of channeled what I

1647
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: was thinking, Yeah about a you know listen that I think,

1648
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's good for me because I we

1649
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: heard from Derek and off the air when he came

1650
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 1: in last week. We had Derek Anderson on last week,

1651
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: and the Bills have been uh a little bit criticized

1652
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: and rightfully so if if you didn't know what I

1653
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: was about to say for not signing a veteran quarterback

1654
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: earlier than they did. And Gary Anderson came to us

1655
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 1: and he told us he goes, he goes. They've been

1656
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 1: talking to me for months. I've been trying to get

1657
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: me uh, and I didn't I don't know if I

1658
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: wanted to do it. I want to wait. Of course,

1659
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: of course he didn't want to go through training camp

1660
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: and all of that, and they finally got him to

1661
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: say yes, and uh, now you know he's he's at

1662
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: least a backup, at least at least and he's he

1663
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:34,600
Speaker 1: certainly wanted to come in and be it, and they

1664
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 1: asked him to come in and be a mentor and stuff,

1665
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: and uh he and here he is, and uh, I

1666
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: think you know, can you imagine what he's thinking. Now

1667
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: he got he's gonna be a mentor to this young quarterback.

1668
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. And then to see have him

1669
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: sit there on the sidelines and see what transpired in Houston. Yeah,

1670
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 1: and he's probably doing the mental man thinking. He's probably

1671
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,839
Speaker 1: he knows what he knows what's going on better than anybody.

1672
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, Nate, why did you you know you

1673
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: don't want to do that? Right? He knows Josh is hurt,

1674
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: and then Nate comes in and plays the way he has.

1675
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: Knowing Nate's history, he's thinking. He's probably looking in the

1676
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: mirror going, Brom, I'm hit. You know, he knows he's

1677
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: got a chance. I mean because even John McDermott acknowledged that, Uh, yesterdays,

1678
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: you know we're working through it. Um, he's probably waking

1679
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 1: up this morning going, oh boy, here I am. Yeah. Uh,

1680
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 1: that's that's quite a change from a week ago. What

1681
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 1: was he doing hang with his kids two weeks ago? Right? Yeah?

1682
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean he knew he was still he was still

1683
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:33,640
Speaker 1: on the radar for everybody he has been. He had

1684
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: gotten a call from a handful of teams Arizona. Yeah,

1685
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 1: he lives in Arizona, and he's thinking, uh, okay, wow,

1686
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: life changes a lot in two weeks. Great. Yeah, but yeah,

1687
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: it was you know, for me, and I know Bills,

1688
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:49,559
Speaker 1: And like I said, the reason I spring it up

1689
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: is the Bills had been criticized for not signing. I listen,

1690
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: they it wasn't like they hadn't tried. Wasn't that like

1691
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: they hadn't called? And I don't even know what the

1692
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: other guys on the list was. Who were they were

1693
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 1: talking to? You know, I don't know you know who

1694
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: it comprises? But interesting and and Mallory Livingston saying, hey,

1695
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 1: all the engines a fair We're out of field and

1696
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 1: we can't reach the airport. We're going down in the lake.

1697
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: Here we go. This ain't the process. Let's take a

1698
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: phone call. I'm this question. Can the Bills win? With

1699
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,600
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson? What do you think Walter in Baltimore is

1700
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 1: on the air with this water go ahead. How are

1701
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 1: you yeah, guys, John Steve, thanks for taking my call. Um.

1702
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 1: I couldn't listen to your show live yesterday, but I

1703
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: listened last night, as I try to do almost every day,

1704
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: and I really wanted to say that I agreed with

1705
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: Steve that I actually did have like a good impression,

1706
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:42,799
Speaker 1: Like I came away from the game Sunday having hope

1707
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: that I also feel that when everything that could go

1708
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 1: wrong did go wrong, I mean in spectacular fashion, and

1709
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: they still had a chance to win at the end.

1710
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, if they just clean up half of those things,

1711
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: and I think that they're all doable, they could really

1712
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: have won that game by ten points and you know,

1713
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: cleaning up for the future. So I was like, I know,

1714
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: I hated the way they lost, but I said, this

1715
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: is fixable, and I think it's uh, you know, can

1716
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: can work for the future. And with respect to today's question,

1717
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: like I even thought, this is the first time in

1718
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: a regular season game that we saw Nate Peterman not

1719
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: be a complete disaster. He actually had more than half

1720
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,439
Speaker 1: the time he was on the field, he looked pretty good.

1721
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: That's such a big improvement from San Diego or Baltimore.

1722
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh god, maybe if we just give him

1723
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: a couple more games and that kind of Yeah, let

1724
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: me just interrupt. Well, Peterman also has the Colts game

1725
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: in his resume from last year before he get out

1726
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. We played pretty well in that

1727
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: game last year, the snow game here, So so I'm

1728
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: more I think that even Josh, I mean, all those

1729
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: plays that were win against him when he looked pretty good,

1730
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,639
Speaker 1: you know, all those prestaff penalties, I mean, giving him

1731
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: five five more yards every single time. I mean, it's

1732
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 1: like it's really asking too much. I still think he

1733
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: still tries hard, he still tries to execute. Yeah, you know,

1734
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 1: especially that big played to um the Benjamin that got

1735
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 1: called back. I mean, for DeMarco of all people, a

1736
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: veteran like that, to make that mistake, I mean, it's good.

1737
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe he'll do that again the whole season. Yeah,

1738
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: Walter agrees with you. You you said it yesterday, Steve,

1739
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: you were encouraged, and I yeah, I said it today too.

1740
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: I was. I told Kyle Williams that it was a strange.

1741
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 1: It does sound strange to say it, And I know

1742
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: what I sound like when I say it, but I

1743
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 1: was encouraged in a loss because of you know, how

1744
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: it transpired and the and the things that happened during

1745
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: that game that conspired to force the Bill to lose it. Um,

1746
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: the defense played absolutely phenomenal football. And if you've got

1747
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 1: any help from anywhere, even your special teams, uh, that's

1748
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: a win. And things look a little differently they do,

1749
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: you know today at three and three rather than two

1750
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 1: and four. I mean, it's a it was I would

1751
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: have been a huge turnaround, and unfortunately it didn't go

1752
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: their way. But it doesn't why away, Uh the good

1753
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: things that I saw, And I know too that most

1754
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 1: of the things that I saw and I didn't dive

1755
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: into it, you know, and and pull it apart by

1756
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: the ex's nose. Really, you know, just catch the punt,

1757
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: you just protect on the punt team, that's a win.

1758
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 1: At two plays, that's a win. Even the one play

1759
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: on the punt that led to their first touchdown. They

1760
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 1: don't get better, they don't get down in the buffaloes

1761
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 1: into the field if that if that did happen though,

1762
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: that's right, But those are also incredibly easy to to

1763
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: fix fix them. Yeah, that's I think what people are saying.

1764
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: Fix that. Yeah they got to fit, but they do.

1765
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,559
Speaker 1: And that's what that doesn't mean. They're not gonna make

1766
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 1: some other bonehead play completely differently. I didn't come out

1767
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: of it encourage because that happened, and I thought, that

1768
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: can't happen when when you're when you're challenged, you know,

1769
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: with talent on your roster, you don't have a ton

1770
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: you're in a a position to win on the road against

1771
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,759
Speaker 1: the team that's almost begging to be beaten, and you don't.

1772
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't. It's hard for me to get encouraged by that. Yeah,

1773
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. And and yeah, I see that point too,

1774
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: that at that angle of it too. You know, you

1775
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: couldn't get over that humpy you were on the road

1776
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: and a and we set it going in. It's a

1777
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 1: hard place to play, particularly when it's a tight game

1778
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: like that. But I'll tell you the the the interesting

1779
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: thing to me is you know just how close a

1780
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: game like that is with a defense playing as well

1781
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 1: as you had them playing, and to come out of

1782
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:27,639
Speaker 1: there just short like they did. Listen, this isn't gonna

1783
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 1: be the last time the Bills are going to be

1784
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 1: in a game like that where you go back and

1785
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 1: look at it after it's over, whether you win or lose,

1786
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: and there were two one play going either way makes

1787
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: the difference. Yeah, And usually it's a handful for any

1788
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 1: game like that when it's you know, it's twenty seven,

1789
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 1: twenty four or whatever. You get up in that game,

1790
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: it was like one You could pick one play out

1791
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: of that entire game anytime along the line you wanted to,

1792
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: and a game is completely different. That hurts. That does hurt.

1793
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 1: It hurts bad, But I don't think it's frustrating for me,

1794
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's not frustrating for me.

1795
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, we can you know, we're

1796
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 1: playing good enough in a lot of ways to win

1797
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 1: games like that, defense especially, And that's not gonna I'm

1798
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,639
Speaker 1: telling you, I haven't thought about it until just this minute.

1799
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 1: That's not the last one we're gonna be in. Oh yeah,

1800
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: that's not the last one. The Bills are gonna have

1801
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: a chance to win like that, and they're gonna have

1802
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 1: to win them like that, a lot of them. All Right,

1803
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: a break, we're back with more. Can the Bills win

1804
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: if they have to play Derek Anderson at quarterback. Give

1811
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: The Bills defense, we know what they're playing. Well, the

1812
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: Bills defense has gone fourteen consecutive games going back to

1813
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 1: last year without allowing a three hundred yard passer. That streak,

1814
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 1: ranks is the longest active streak in the NFL. That's

1815
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: something fourteen contecutive games without a three hundred yard passer

1816
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,680
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo defense. New York Inside the Numbers, take

1817
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: a break from the expected place scratch off games from

1818
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: the New York. You're killing this because now we gotta

1819
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,759
Speaker 1: play that Andrew Luck this week. Yeah. That's like saying

1820
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 1: this guy's made thirty two straight field goals. Yeah. I

1821
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 1: haven't thought about this matchup yet, but I know I'm

1822
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. I know the Bills have a chance.

1823
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 1: I don't even care who's playing quarterback. I think the

1824
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 1: Bills have a chance on Sunday. Yeah, I really do.

1825
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: I think so too. I mean, they've got a first

1826
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 1: year head coach in Frank Reich, as smart as he is.

1827
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I'm not sold on

1828
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: their roster though. I think their roster was weak last

1829
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: year and I didn't Yeah, I think I think Frank

1830
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 1: Rex's got a lot of work to do there, Yes,

1831
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 1: and they're not done with it. He's just the man

1832
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 1: for that job though, right is. Yeah, Yeah, I think

1833
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:00,839
Speaker 1: he handles every well. He's a thinker, and he's intelligent,

1834
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 1: he's got some courage and uh and he's a good leader.

1835
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 1: So I think, you know that's they're in good hands,

1836
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: no question about it. The difference is, I mean his

1837
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: problems amount to, you know, building it, how long it's

1838
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:14,600
Speaker 1: going to take to build it, what he has to

1839
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: go through to do it, and if he can get

1840
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: and he can make sure that the people above him

1841
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 1: in that organization hang in there with him until he

1842
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 1: gets done, you know, yeah, because they're not gonna you know,

1843
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 1: you're not gonna. I think one of the things that

1844
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: gets lost in some of this, and some of this

1845
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: applies to the Buffalo Bills as well. You know, you're

1846
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna come in here with a first time head coach

1847
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:36,640
Speaker 1: and a first time GM, and in in Indianapolis they

1848
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:39,559
Speaker 1: got a first time GM who's been there a couple

1849
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 1: of years now and now first time head coach. Everything

1850
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: they do may not work out exactly like they plan.

1851
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 1: They might have to backtrack a little bit to get

1852
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: it going right right. It plays. It applies to every place.

1853
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 1: Look at what going on with John Grudenen in Oakland.

1854
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: Look what happened to the guys, uh, Jeremy Lynn in

1855
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: in LA with the Chargers. Look at the guy in Denver, Uh,

1856
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: you know, the only guy that hasn't taken a step back.

1857
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 1: And maybe Sean McVeagh who walked into, you know, an

1858
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: unbelievable situation with a young quarterback who was who was

1859
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: frowned upon then and then walked into all that cap

1860
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: space and all that free agency money that they can

1861
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: just kind of roll out there. So there's that, But

1862
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:27,759
Speaker 1: for the most part, you know, they got to figure

1863
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: it out and sometimes ownership's got to be patient. We'll

1864
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 1: see if how patient they are in Indianapolis with Frank

1865
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: and just like the patients they've displayed here or didn't

1866
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,720
Speaker 1: display with Rex Ryan right. You know, Hey, let's take

1867
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: a couple of phone calls here. What do you think

1868
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 1: if Derek Anderson has to play quarterback this week and

1869
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: the Bills win? John and Rochester has some thoughts. John,

1870
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Yes, good afternoon, gentlemen.

1871
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:56,679
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking that call, sure and observing the buff

1872
01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:04,560
Speaker 1: Fall Bills. I the quarterback is important, but the offensive

1873
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 1: a line is fairly week if you got one of

1874
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 1: the best running backs in football and he hasn't had

1875
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 1: a hundred yard game yet. But the other thing that

1876
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 1: makes Buffball have problems is their wide receivers. I would

1877
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,600
Speaker 1: like to ask you, gentlemen, is there any one of

1878
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:30,320
Speaker 1: those wide receivers who would be starting on another NFL

1879
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 1: football team. I'll wait for your answer. Okay, starting, Yeah,

1880
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: being a number one? Maybe not? Say Jones has played

1881
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 1: well for a couple of day. Jones is actually getting

1882
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 1: is one of the young guys you could talk to.

1883
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 1: Point two is actually starting to figure it out here

1884
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: and early in the second year. No question. He struggled

1885
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 1: last year with some jobs. That doesn't seem to be

1886
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 1: his issue this year. Nope, he's actually starting to get

1887
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: some targets this year that he didn't, and we we

1888
01:29:57,920 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 1: accused him early on in the season. He kind of

1889
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: dis appeared for big chunks of games earlier this season,

1890
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 1: not so much now in the last couple of games

1891
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 1: he's started to show up. That's been a big difference.

1892
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,760
Speaker 1: As far as how these guys could play with other teams,

1893
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:13,400
Speaker 1: that's a good question. You know, we'll never know the

1894
01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 1: answer to that. I hear you though about their lack

1895
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:18,920
Speaker 1: of production. They're playing with a rookie quarterback, just like

1896
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,919
Speaker 1: we are watching a rookie quarterback too. And the offensive

1897
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:24,480
Speaker 1: line is well documented. It's been a work in progress.

1898
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 1: They made the switch from Groy at center to Bodine

1899
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:30,120
Speaker 1: and things seem to settle in and then they got

1900
01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 1: vlad Duke Costs hurt this last game, So they may

1901
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:35,639
Speaker 1: take a step sideways or backwards this week with their

1902
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 1: offensive line, depending on due Cost's health. But yeah, but

1903
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 1: you're not gonna go out and revamp your offensive line

1904
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:45,600
Speaker 1: with all new people during the regular season. It's just

1905
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. So they're gonna make do with what

1906
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 1: they've got. They've used a lot of different combinations. They

1907
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,400
Speaker 1: brought Searles in off the bench a number of times.

1908
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: Probably they've gone heavy, which means an extra offensive lineman

1909
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 1: on the field as a tight end, probably more than

1910
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: any other team that I've seen this year. They bring

1911
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 1: Searles in as an extra tackle or they play him

1912
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 1: as a tight end, but they just put an extra

1913
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman up front and then start running the football

1914
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:11,639
Speaker 1: behind them. They've had some success doing that, so yeah,

1915
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:13,720
Speaker 1: they're tinkering with it, and they're doing everything they can

1916
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 1: Brian day boll Is to maximize the guys they do have,

1917
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: and I think the last played okay the last week

1918
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:22,639
Speaker 1: or two. Honestly, I think Dukassa was playing well before

1919
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,679
Speaker 1: he got hurt. The other day. They did a pretty

1920
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 1: good job against those tremendous pass rush whos JJ Watt

1921
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: and j Damian Clowney. I think they did a pretty

1922
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 1: decent job against him the other day. Gave up two sacks.

1923
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 1: It's it's not a horrible day. So keep an eye

1924
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,840
Speaker 1: in that offensive line, especially with the dukass injury and

1925
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: if Ryan Groy has to stay in there and play

1926
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:42,640
Speaker 1: the guard position now. But I think they kind of

1927
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 1: improved their play in the last two maybe three weeks. Yeah,

1928
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: they're not an athletic group. And that's the one thing

1929
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:49,600
Speaker 1: that people when they evaluate these offensive lines, it's the

1930
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 1: one thing they'll say about Buffalo. They're big, they've got

1931
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 1: good size up front, and they're strong, but they're not

1932
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: real athletic. They don't run real well. That's something they

1933
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,880
Speaker 1: did do with Richie Incognito and Eric Wood, but these

1934
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:04,040
Speaker 1: guys are not like that. So they're gonna, you know,

1935
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna tailor their game plan and their running philosophy

1936
01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: to maximize what they do well. And a lot of

1937
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 1: that is straight ahead running and that's why they bring

1938
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 1: in an extra offensive lineman. So it's it is something

1939
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 1: to think about. I think du Cos is an issue.

1940
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna go on early later in the week.

1941
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 1: We'll get see how he's how he's rehabbing or healing

1942
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:25,720
Speaker 1: up from the injury. Got in the game. All right,

Speaker 1: NFL with one of our favorite guests. He is the

1993
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: longtime NFL observer now writes Football Morning in America for

1994
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:10,760
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk Slash NBC Sports. Happy to have Peter

1995
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:12,920
Speaker 1: King on the line with us. Hi, Peter, John Murphy,

1996
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:15,719
Speaker 1: and uh Steve Tasker here in Buffalo. Thanks for joining

1997
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 1: us today. Guys. How you doing? We're doing okay, trying

1998
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 1: to figure out what the quarterback I was just thinking, Peter,

1999
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 1: you can appreciate this. Steve's been on the show for

2000
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 1: about six months, so you've done about one hundred, one

2001
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty shows. Steve, how many? How many shows

2002
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:29,720
Speaker 1: do you think we've done where the focus of our

2003
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:32,320
Speaker 1: attention has been Bill's quarterback out of one hundred and twenty,

2004
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 1: I bet one hundred. And that's all we talk about

2005
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 1: here in Peter. There's always quarterback issues here in Buffalo.

2006
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 1: This year, What are we doing wrong up here? Well,

2007
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: I think the first thing that went wrong is the

2008
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 1: trading of AJ McCarron. I know we talked about this

2009
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 1: a bit, so I won't I won't harp on it,

2010
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 1: but I think if you have a quarterback situation where

2011
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 1: the rookie is draft choice from a place where it

2012
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 1: looked like he would need some seasoning, and then the

2013
01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: other guy, uh, Nathan Peterman, is you know, totally unproven. Um,

2014
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 1: I think to to trade your only only slightly proven

2015
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:26,880
Speaker 1: guy was a mistake and and you know clearly, uh

2016
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:29,599
Speaker 1: you know. I think if you if you look at

2017
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 1: this situation, you know logically you would say that, you know,

2018
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:39,920
Speaker 1: it's absolute lunacy that that it's likely and or even

2019
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:45,400
Speaker 1: possible that in Week seven of the NFL season, the

2020
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:47,680
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the rest of the year could be

2021
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 1: a guy they picked up off the street. Now, I

2022
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:53,599
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Derek Anderson will be the quarterback

2023
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:55,599
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, but the way you look

2024
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:59,679
Speaker 1: at it now, it's certainly a possibility. So I think

2025
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: it's a mismanaged position. Yeah, it's And it's interesting too

2026
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:06,519
Speaker 1: that you look back at all the things that have

2027
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:09,879
Speaker 1: happened and the things that were surprised when it happened.

2028
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 1: When A J. McCarron was signed, it seemed logical. When

2029
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman and when they were all in this quarterback competition,

2030
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 1: it seemed natural. What was surprising was how poorly AJ

2031
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:27,120
Speaker 1: McCarron played in the preseason. I mean, that's the thing

2032
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 1: that caught him off I think, off guard. And plus

2033
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 1: the fact that AJ McCarron was unwilling to be a

2034
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 1: mentor for a young quarterback like Josh Allen. Right, I

2035
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 1: guess I would look at this and say that the

2036
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 1: ground rules for this thing if if I had been involved,

2037
01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 1: I mean if I if I were, if I readed

2038
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 1: a coach or GM, I would have told all three

2039
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:59,760
Speaker 1: guys the exact same thing. Hey, look, nothing is pro

2040
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 1: you know. And look, AJ McCarron, I'm sure looked at

2041
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 1: this as a place where he at least could be

2042
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:11,280
Speaker 1: the short term starter for like a year and then

2043
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 1: go somewhere or most of a year and then go somewhere,

2044
01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:18,840
Speaker 1: And so to me, I'm not sure I would have

2045
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:23,960
Speaker 1: signed him under those circumstances I would have. I think

2046
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,559
Speaker 1: I would probably have said, we don't really know what

2047
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 1: we have here, and until we find out, there's nothing

2048
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 1: really we can do. And I understand about McCarron's unwillingness

2049
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 1: to do all this stuff. I you know, I understand,

2050
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 1: and I'm not supporting it. I'm just saying, yes, I

2051
01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 1: heard that, But I think the way I would look

2052
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 1: at this is I would have tried at the very

2053
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 1: beginning to say, you know, we'd like you to come in,

2054
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:56,800
Speaker 1: and who knows what's going to happen, but clearly we're

2055
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 1: going to play the best people here. And if he'd

2056
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: been unwilling to do that, Um, then then that was

2057
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:07,080
Speaker 1: that was That would have been it. I wouldn't assigned him. Hey, Peter, Um,

2058
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:09,760
Speaker 1: Steve and I have been speculating that Derek Anderson would

2059
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:12,639
Speaker 1: wind up as it started this Sunday, and wondering how

2060
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 1: how much worse it would be than what the Bills

2061
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 1: have been getting out of that position with the rookie,

2062
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:18,680
Speaker 1: trying to get the rookie ready to play. What do

2063
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 1: you think I mean, how could it be worse? Really,

2064
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 1: I don't see how it how it could be worse

2065
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:28,680
Speaker 1: at all. This has turned into a disaster really at

2066
01:39:28,680 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: the position, and it's the most important position in team sports.

2067
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 1: And I you know, I really liked Derek Anderson. I

2068
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 1: go back to the really good year he had in

2069
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland when I think the Browns won ten games, and

2070
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 1: he was really a huge reason why the Browns had

2071
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 1: that one successful blip on their radar um and and

2072
01:39:55,960 --> 01:40:04,080
Speaker 1: so since then he's become a re quality, effective, supportive

2073
01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:07,719
Speaker 1: backup quarterback for most of his years in the league.

2074
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:13,960
Speaker 1: And so I mean, I hate to say that you're

2075
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:17,880
Speaker 1: almost damning him with faint praise when you say, well,

2076
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 1: he's better than what they got. But quite honestly, you

2077
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: don't pick up a quarterback off the street in whatever

2078
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:30,800
Speaker 1: it was late September, early October and think that he's

2079
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:34,840
Speaker 1: going to be anything other than a band aid who's

2080
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: not going to panic at the first sign of trouble.

2081
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that you're busy this week is

2082
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 1: the owners meetings are going on in Manhattan. What is

2083
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 1: the agenda for that meeting and what's on their schedule?

2084
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't really think it's going to be a big deal, Steve.

2085
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:53,840
Speaker 1: I think that Roger Goodell and the owners are going

2086
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 1: to talk about the ratings and how they've been able

2087
01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 1: to rebound this year. You know, the primetime games have

2088
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:07,120
Speaker 1: helped because obviously when you look at in the last

2089
01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 1: two days have been forty three to forty a game

2090
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 1: decided at the gun and then thirty three to thirty

2091
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: a game decided at the gun, incredibly strangely coincidental field

2092
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 1: goals at the gun to win it. But I think

2093
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 1: they're going to talk about the ratings, and they're also

2094
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 1: going to hear from from some of their medical people

2095
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: about the status of what I hear is an improved,

2096
01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: decreased rate of concussion, you know, in training camp early

2097
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,679
Speaker 1: in the season. So I think those are going to happen.

2098
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 1: I think, you know, they'll go over a bunch of

2099
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:55,559
Speaker 1: business things. They'll talk clearly about the incredible success right

2100
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 1: now of the games over in London, and you know,

2101
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 1: I wrote a little bit about this this week. It

2102
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:10,840
Speaker 1: strikes me as amazing that it took three days to

2103
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: sell seventy five thousand tickets for the Chargers and Titans

2104
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 1: to play a game in Lundons. That's just that's mind boggling.

2105
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 1: Think about this, becauld they have sold out that game

2106
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 1: in either of the home markets for those teams. I

2107
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 1: don't think they could have sold seventy five thousand tickets

2108
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 1: in either Nashville or certainly not LA. So the NFL

2109
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: has a decision to make, not now necessarily, but the

2110
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 1: NFL has a decision to make fairly soon. And that

2111
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:47,440
Speaker 1: decision revolves around are we going to put a franchise

2112
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:51,080
Speaker 1: in London permanently? If we do, which one of the

2113
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 1: current franchises. I don't think there's the stomach to expand

2114
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 1: because you know, right now the pie is divided into

2115
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 1: thirty two pieces. I don't think these owners want to

2116
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:05,200
Speaker 1: divide it into thirty four or thirty six pieces. That's

2117
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 1: number one and then number two. I think the question

2118
01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:14,439
Speaker 1: is we always thought that LA would have one team,

2119
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 1: you know, either the Rams or whoever. But LA would

2120
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:23,480
Speaker 1: have one team, and they ended up with two. So

2121
01:43:23,560 --> 01:43:28,720
Speaker 1: if you look at it, there appears to be some sentiment.

2122
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:32,719
Speaker 1: Is that majority sentiment, I don't know yet, but there's

2123
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,760
Speaker 1: some sentiments that it would make more sense to put

2124
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,559
Speaker 1: two teams in London. So that one wouldn't be just

2125
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:43,639
Speaker 1: sticking out there alone. Tell me, give me an update

2126
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:46,200
Speaker 1: on Tottenham, what's up with the stadium, what's up with

2127
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:49,479
Speaker 1: their future? Like? Who if one team is going to

2128
01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:52,599
Speaker 1: play in London, another team would play in the Tottenham stadium?

2129
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,840
Speaker 1: Is that what they're thinking? Peter, here's the Well, first

2130
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 1: of all, I can tell you that a lot of

2131
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:04,400
Speaker 1: owners were taken in a back when shot Khana owns

2132
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and everybody has thought to this point that

2133
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:13,840
Speaker 1: it was going to be going to be Jacksonville. Eventually

2134
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: that would either expand its footprint there or move there

2135
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:24,719
Speaker 1: at some point in the future. But I think now

2136
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:31,559
Speaker 1: with shot Khan's looming purchase of Wembley Stadium, which is

2137
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: the national soccer stadium of England, there's been a lot

2138
01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 1: of discussion that, well, why would shot Khan be doing this?

2139
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:43,040
Speaker 1: And obviously most people think so that he can own

2140
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:46,840
Speaker 1: the stadium where he puts his NFL franchise, But that's

2141
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:51,320
Speaker 1: all speculation. He hasn't said anything about it. The Jacksonville

2142
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 1: people are, obviously, for it's a very sensitive thing. They're

2143
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 1: not saying anything, so we don't really know. But clearly

2144
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,400
Speaker 1: the top them. People are not very happy with this

2145
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:06,559
Speaker 1: because they always assume that the Jacksonville Jaguars or whoever

2146
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 1: moans to England was going to play in that stadium. So,

2147
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:14,720
Speaker 1: and that stadium is going to be ready for games,

2148
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:18,479
Speaker 1: and it would be ready for a full schedule of

2149
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 1: games as NFL games as early as twenty nineteen. So

2150
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 1: we're we're all sort of we're all sort of wondering

2151
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 1: what the end game is gonna be. Yeah, and I'm

2152
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:33,840
Speaker 1: wondering which which NFL franchises would I mean, they all

2153
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 1: make money hand over fist in the US, which which

2154
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:40,960
Speaker 1: franchise would be motivated to make that move. The only

2155
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 1: way that I could see a franchise that would want

2156
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 1: to do that is if they're having massive trouble getting

2157
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:54,639
Speaker 1: a modern, state of the art stadium built Number one

2158
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 1: or number two. It would be a franchise that was

2159
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 1: for sale, and so whoever would buy the team wouldn't

2160
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: necessarily beholden to keep it there now. Unfortunately, obviously, the

2161
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:14,480
Speaker 1: owner of the Seattle Seahawks, Paul Allen, who has no heirs,

2162
01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:19,160
Speaker 1: died yesterday and it is thought, at least as of now,

2163
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: that a new owner is going to buy that team,

2164
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:25,080
Speaker 1: and the new owner will be making all decisions for

2165
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 1: that franchise. It would be utterly shocking if that team,

2166
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:33,559
Speaker 1: if the Seahawks were to move, I don't see it happening.

2167
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: I don't see there being much of a chance at all.

2168
01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 1: But you know, look, there's probably four or five years

2169
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:44,720
Speaker 1: minimum before this happens, and a lot can happen in

2170
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: four or five years. A lot of teams could could

2171
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:52,440
Speaker 1: be up for sale or have a difficult stadium situation.

2172
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 1: You just don't know, So we'll see. Yeah, it couldn't.

2173
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go down the list of all

2174
01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:59,640
Speaker 1: thirty two teams and kind of pick the ones. You know,

2175
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 1: the Rams have moved a couple of times. The Cardinals

2176
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: have moved a couple of times. Here's the question for you.

2177
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 1: What about the Chargers. Yeah, I mean that's what That's

2178
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 1: the team that comes to my mind is the Chargers. Yeah,

2179
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean are the Chargers right now? I mean I

2180
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 1: don't I don't know enough about the business side of

2181
01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:26,559
Speaker 1: the Chargers right now and whether indeed they're struggling so

2182
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:30,240
Speaker 1: much to sell tickets and sweet because I just simply

2183
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:35,479
Speaker 1: don't know. But you hear that there's very little enthusiasm

2184
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles for the Chargers. So I don't know

2185
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:41,400
Speaker 1: what that means quite honestly, but we'll see in the

2186
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 1: next couple of years. Around the line with Peter King,

2187
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:47,439
Speaker 1: NBC Sports Countless Rights, a Football Morning in America column. Hey, Peter,

2188
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:51,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned the rebound of television ratings. The NFL is

2189
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 1: making it known that the ratings are up a little bit.

2190
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 1: Is it in your view because of the quality of

2191
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: the play like last night Aaron Rodgers comeback game? Or

2192
01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:01,519
Speaker 1: is there something and also play here? Um? What do

2193
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:06,240
Speaker 1: you think? Well, first of all, I'm not sure it's

2194
01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 1: a huge story, John, because if you if you think

2195
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:13,519
Speaker 1: about it, what are you really comparing it against? I

2196
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,800
Speaker 1: mean the NFL the last two years the ratings have

2197
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 1: relatively speaking, I don't want to say tank, but they've

2198
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:30,719
Speaker 1: been down. Yeah, And so are you comparing these ratings

2199
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 1: to You're comparing them obviously the last year. And that's

2200
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 1: like that's like saying, you know, if if your team

2201
01:48:39,280 --> 01:48:43,640
Speaker 1: went three and thirteen last year and they finished this

2202
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:47,559
Speaker 1: year six and ten, nobody's throwing a parade. I mean,

2203
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:51,200
Speaker 1: it's it's better, but it's still not you know, anywhere

2204
01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:57,880
Speaker 1: near playoff numbers. So that's why. I mean, obviously it's

2205
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:00,679
Speaker 1: good that the NFL stopped the bleeding on the race. Okay,

2206
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:05,200
Speaker 1: it's that's good, but but I think and I think

2207
01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:06,960
Speaker 1: a lot of it is due to the fact that

2208
01:49:08,160 --> 01:49:15,240
Speaker 1: scoring is up. Games have been more more exciting, i'd say,

2209
01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:19,840
Speaker 1: on average. And I also think that the rise of

2210
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 1: some new franchises to both prominence and respectability. I mean,

2211
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:31,599
Speaker 1: when the Rams are on, I'm watching, you know, they're

2212
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 1: a very very fun team to watch, and so it

2213
01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 1: isn't like it's just the same old thing. And yet

2214
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:41,679
Speaker 1: you still have the teams that everybody loves to hate,

2215
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots or are they either love or hate rather

2216
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 1: than the Patriots the Cowboys, and they're you know, the

2217
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:50,479
Speaker 1: Cowboys are up one week, down down the next. But

2218
01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:54,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots now are still always going to get big

2219
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 1: numbers because maybe a third of the people are tuning

2220
01:49:58,160 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: in because they hate them and they want to see

2221
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:04,080
Speaker 1: them lose forty two to nothing. But they've obviously got

2222
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:08,080
Speaker 1: a growing burgeoning fan base because of Tom Brady and

2223
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. So I think those are some of the reasons.

2224
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:15,599
Speaker 1: But again, I I'm not sure how whether there should

2225
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 1: be all that much rejoicing over the fact that they're

2226
01:50:19,280 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 1: just sort of getting back to ground zero in terms

2227
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:27,639
Speaker 1: of ratings that the league would find acceptably good. Yeah,

2228
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:29,600
Speaker 1: there's there's no question that there's a lot going on

2229
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:32,000
Speaker 1: that make the make you think people want to watch it,

2230
01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 1: not the least of which was the Patriots Chiefs game

2231
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 1: last Thursday, forty three forty in favor of the Patriots

2232
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:40,640
Speaker 1: at a Sunday at forty three forty in favor of

2233
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean, that was a game that was

2234
01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 1: just fun to watch. And even so even that last

2235
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:48,439
Speaker 1: night that the San Francisco Green Bay game, it was

2236
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen after one quarter. I mean, you know, that's fun. Yeah.

2237
01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:55,960
Speaker 1: So it's hard not to discount the fact that we've

2238
01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:59,320
Speaker 1: actually had good games to watch at these primetime spots.

2239
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know if that that's sustainable

2240
01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:06,439
Speaker 1: long term. It probably isn't. But you know, the one

2241
01:51:06,520 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 1: thing that that I think, you know, even though I

2242
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:16,600
Speaker 1: have had my issues with the fact that, you know,

2243
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:20,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the rules are truly being bent to

2244
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:25,680
Speaker 1: help the offense. Um, you know, I I keep when

2245
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 1: I talk to people about this around the NFL, they say, hey,

2246
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, people are happy about this. This is fun,

2247
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:36,280
Speaker 1: and you know the fantasy football crowd loves it. They

2248
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:41,240
Speaker 1: love it scoring well, I guess they do. But and again,

2249
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:44,759
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that members of the Competition Committee talking about,

2250
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 1: you know, the fantasy football crowd. But I'm just saying

2251
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:53,360
Speaker 1: that it's it shouldn't be your goal to make forty

2252
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:55,960
Speaker 1: two million people who are going to play fantasy football,

2253
01:51:56,080 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: regardless of whether the quarterback scores thirty nine twenty nine.

2254
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that the goal should be to make

2255
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:07,519
Speaker 1: sure that they're happy. Yeah, I think you're out of something.

2256
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:10,280
Speaker 1: Peter and Stephen and I were talking earlier. I still

2257
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:13,200
Speaker 1: like good defensive games, and it seems like there are

2258
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 1: fewer and fewer of those going on around the NFL.

2259
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 1: I still like to watch good defense, but I think

2260
01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm in the minority. You are in the minority. But

2261
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:25,000
Speaker 1: and again, if the game is going to be forty

2262
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: three to forty, which I thought was tremendously entertaining, there

2263
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 1: was only one. There were no punts in the first

2264
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 1: six fifty six minutes, so it's a different kind of

2265
01:52:36,160 --> 01:52:40,160
Speaker 1: a football game. So I can accept that, and I

2266
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:44,400
Speaker 1: rejoice when you see two really good quarterbacks going at it,

2267
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:50,400
Speaker 1: that's great. But where I really have an issue is

2268
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 1: when pass rushers are scared to tackle the quarterback. It's

2269
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:58,080
Speaker 1: just not right. It's not good, it's not fair. It

2270
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 1: goes against the sense of fair play. You're right, yeah,

2271
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:04,320
Speaker 1: And I do think Peter, though, as hot an issue

2272
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:06,040
Speaker 1: as it was in the first few weeks of the

2273
01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:08,880
Speaker 1: season with Clay Matthews and all his trials and tribulations

2274
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:12,520
Speaker 1: and how it is quite it has quieted down, notwithstanding

2275
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:14,599
Speaker 1: the tackle and Tom Brady and the Chiefs the other

2276
01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:16,479
Speaker 1: night where the guy I don't know that he ever

2277
01:53:16,560 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 1: had a good handle on it. And I think in

2278
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 1: some of these cases, not all of them, but some

2279
01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:23,720
Speaker 1: of them, it's easy for the defensive player to say, hey,

2280
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:25,920
Speaker 1: I would have had him had it not been for

2281
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:28,160
Speaker 1: the new rules, or I wouldn't have gotten hurt, because

2282
01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:31,280
Speaker 1: except for the new rules. I don't know if I

2283
01:53:31,400 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 1: buy all of it. I don't. I don't buy it, Steve, right,

2284
01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 1: I think it's I think that's a load of bunk. Right,

2285
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 1: When when the quarterback has the ball and you have

2286
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:45,240
Speaker 1: him around the lakes, you're allowed to tackle him, don't

2287
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:48,479
Speaker 1: tell me that you're not allowed to tackle him, and

2288
01:53:48,560 --> 01:53:51,680
Speaker 1: you were afraid of getting that call. You know, if

2289
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:55,760
Speaker 1: you are, nobody's touch to the rules of professional football, right.

2290
01:53:56,320 --> 01:53:58,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I know that they've changed

2291
01:53:58,240 --> 01:54:00,280
Speaker 1: these rules and they're evolving, but I think it's become

2292
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:02,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of a pr crutch for these d

2293
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:06,679
Speaker 1: D linemen who just miss Yeah. Agreed, agreed. Peter, Thanks

Speaker 1: you're picking up speed. I'm picking up some energy, feeling good.

2315
01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 1: I haven't started looking at the culture. I'll do that tonight.

2316
01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 1: I know the Bills can win this game, and I

2317
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:22,200
Speaker 1: look forward. I will look forward to the game on Sunday.

2318
01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:23,760
Speaker 1: I look forward to feeling good and calling the game

2319
01:55:23,800 --> 01:55:27,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Um, you've been to Lucasoil Stadium. It's it's

2320
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:30,720
Speaker 1: it's a fantastic facility. It's a great facility and they

2321
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:32,120
Speaker 1: use it for a lot of different things. And I'll

2322
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:34,760
Speaker 1: tell you why. You drive to Indianapolis. You know, indianapolisol

2323
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:37,240
Speaker 1: kind of like similar to Buffalo. It's got it. You

2324
01:55:37,280 --> 01:55:41,120
Speaker 1: know downtown, it's not an enormous, sprawling metropolis like and

2325
01:55:41,480 --> 01:55:45,920
Speaker 1: you cout down there and Lucas Oil looks like a

2326
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 1: shoe box put in the middle of a miniature skyline.

2327
01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean it dominates that whole city. The size of

2328
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:57,400
Speaker 1: that stadium, which the cults were still in the Bill's division.

2329
01:55:57,600 --> 01:55:59,400
Speaker 1: I like. I like that quick trip. I like the

2330
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 1: Indian restaurants. I like the stadium. It was a really

2331
01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 1: nice They had a great They had a great experience

2332
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 1: hosting the Super Bowl handful of years ago when they

2333
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:10,080
Speaker 1: got great weather down there, and everything downtown is within

2334
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 1: walking distance. All the hotels, the major hotels that were

2335
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:14,320
Speaker 1: in town. You could get that and you could just

2336
01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:17,080
Speaker 1: walk around the town. They got a big mall right downtown.

2337
01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 1: It's house and you can get their indoors from hotels. Yeah,

2338
01:56:20,160 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 1: it's a nice setup. Nice setup. Said this to Peter,

2339
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 1: and it occurred to me, as you know, we're getting

2340
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:27,600
Speaker 1: ready for today's show, and here we are talking about

2341
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:30,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks again. You've been here just about six months, right,

2342
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 1: you started in the middle of April, So six months.

2343
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:35,120
Speaker 1: Let's say you and I have done together maybe a

2344
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:39,440
Speaker 1: hundred shows. I bet ninety of those shows the topic

2345
01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 1: of the day has been quarterback. Quarterbacks. Yeah, before josh

2346
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:44,800
Speaker 1: anlo was drafted, after he was drafted, going to training camp,

2347
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:49,360
Speaker 1: going you know, quarterback competition, quarterback competition. Who played better,

2348
01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna play better? What happens if he plays good?

2349
01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 1: Get tired? I do get a little tired, But I

2350
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:57,160
Speaker 1: know it's important. No, it's it's ongoing and it never ends.

2351
01:56:57,160 --> 01:56:59,040
Speaker 1: And it's you know, we got another wrinkle put in it,

2352
01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 1: thrown in it by Whitney Merciless this last weekend with

2353
01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:04,840
Speaker 1: a little jinked on the side of his elbow, and

2354
01:57:05,200 --> 01:57:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know how bad that injury is

2355
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna be. And of course you get all the knee

2356
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:11,960
Speaker 1: jerk reactions like it's Tommy John surgery, he's gonna be

2357
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:16,960
Speaker 1: out for eighteen months, and would come on, man, Yeah,

2358
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:18,800
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this, I mean you can you

2359
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:22,240
Speaker 1: can you can smell another Twitter pole coming down down

2360
01:57:22,280 --> 01:57:25,600
Speaker 1: the pike. Should they be conservative with his recovery? Should

2361
01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:27,200
Speaker 1: they throw him out there when he's pretty ready? Or

2362
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:30,320
Speaker 1: they should they wait till he's one hundred percent ready? Yeah? Yeah,

2363
01:57:30,360 --> 01:57:32,880
Speaker 1: all of that. Yeah, that's not going to be tomorrow's

2364
01:57:32,880 --> 01:57:34,400
Speaker 1: Twitter pole. I'll tell you that. Right now. He'd be

2365
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 1: down the line somehow, and you know it's gonna be

2366
01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:39,600
Speaker 1: so because of the Josh Allen injury and the fact

2367
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,160
Speaker 1: that he is weak to week where it's disicipating that

2368
01:57:42,240 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 1: means he does not play this week. If the Bills

2369
01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:46,760
Speaker 1: have to go with Derek Anderson, can he lead them

2370
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:48,680
Speaker 1: to victory? That's our Twitter poll today, and most of

2371
01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:50,840
Speaker 1: you think he can. On Twitter, most of you say

2372
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:52,680
Speaker 1: yes he can. It was at last I checked at

2373
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,000
Speaker 1: his sixty four percent of you say yes, they can

2374
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:58,160
Speaker 1: win with Derek Anderson at quarterback. Thirty six percent say no.

2375
01:57:58,520 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 1: Give us a call, let us know what you think.

2376
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:04,320
Speaker 1: Fifty to three, one eight five fifty two five fifty.

2377
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:06,680
Speaker 1: Elvin and the Bronx has been waiting a while. Hello, Elvin,

2378
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:10,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Hey guys, good man,

2379
01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 1: how you doing good? Listen. I'm gonna play something that's

2380
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:17,920
Speaker 1: probably not the most popular thing, but I think this

2381
01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:21,240
Speaker 1: is probably a blessing in disguise because this was our

2382
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 1: original plan from day one, and um, at this point

2383
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:27,360
Speaker 1: we can probably let Josh out and take his time

2384
01:58:27,360 --> 01:58:29,840
Speaker 1: to healing. He can learn kind of behind the scenes

2385
01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:33,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully all turn out well. Foot I mean, what's

2386
01:58:33,480 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 1: your opinion on that? Yeah, I mean, that's that's we

2387
01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:37,960
Speaker 1: were talking about that for a minute. You know, in

2388
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 1: the best case scenario, when Derek Anderson comes in, gives

2389
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:44,560
Speaker 1: him some passable quarterback play, completes you know, hopefull you know,

2390
01:58:44,640 --> 01:58:47,680
Speaker 1: maybe what sixty percent of his passes, hopefully can start

2391
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 1: to get a handle on what the offense is, get

2392
01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:52,240
Speaker 1: the verbiage down, and the defense continues to play as

2393
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 1: well as it has in the past a month. Yeah.

2394
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, then then you're talking a whole different story.

2395
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:00,720
Speaker 1: Then Josh Allen can get healthy and sit there and

2396
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 1: wait for his turn under center, and then look back

2397
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:07,120
Speaker 1: on his time as a starter when it's you know,

2398
01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:08,480
Speaker 1: when he kind of kind of got pushed in there

2399
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:11,480
Speaker 1: a little earlier for all of us, then things look

2400
01:59:11,480 --> 01:59:14,200
Speaker 1: a little differently. Yeah, but it all depends on so

2401
01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 1: many things. Derek Anderson's got to play well, and this

2402
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:21,080
Speaker 1: defense has got to continue to dominate other teams and

2403
01:59:21,280 --> 01:59:25,920
Speaker 1: play better than anybody thought they could except me. So yeah,

2404
01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:28,640
Speaker 1: then I get where you're coming from. Best case scenario,

2405
01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:32,280
Speaker 1: that's exactly how it works out right. I definitely agree,

2406
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:34,560
Speaker 1: and I'm optimistic about it. Again. I've been pushing for

2407
01:59:34,680 --> 01:59:38,120
Speaker 1: Josh downs from the very beginning, and like I said,

2408
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:39,880
Speaker 1: I hope this will actually help him a little bit.

2409
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 1: Believe it or not. He doesn't have the he doesn't

2410
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:45,840
Speaker 1: have the pressure of having to perform so quick. Any

2411
01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:49,560
Speaker 1: offensive line time to get things together and learn the

2412
01:59:49,640 --> 01:59:52,360
Speaker 1: work side by side by each other. I see what

2413
01:59:52,400 --> 01:59:55,240
Speaker 1: you're saying. Yeah, yep, I wish it hadn't not gone

2414
01:59:55,280 --> 01:59:57,240
Speaker 1: down that way. I think the Bills probably feel that

2415
01:59:57,320 --> 02:00:00,280
Speaker 1: way too, that, you know, they had somebody else starting

2416
02:00:00,320 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 1: the season and they could work in Josh Allen, the

2417
02:00:02,120 --> 02:00:04,560
Speaker 1: healthy Josh Allen when they thought he'd be ready. That

2418
02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:06,880
Speaker 1: didn't work out that way, and now the injury is

2419
02:00:06,920 --> 02:00:09,760
Speaker 1: another complication. But maybe it will, maybe it will be

2420
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:11,880
Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise. I got a call here from

2421
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Jack Ian Buffalo. Hi, Jack, welcome to the show. Jack.

2422
02:00:17,120 --> 02:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Are you there? What are you doing? Jack's Jack's closet? Yeah,

2423
02:00:21,080 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 1: what's up? Go ahead, what's up? Jack? Well, then I

2424
02:00:25,040 --> 02:00:31,640
Speaker 1: got a nuance to present. Let's hear it, and that's

2425
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:33,760
Speaker 1: setting back the other night. That's that's the punch of

2426
02:00:33,880 --> 02:00:37,080
Speaker 1: guy had braiding his grasp, the d said later, with

2427
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:40,480
Speaker 1: his head down, he's at the bar us. So you know,

2428
02:00:40,560 --> 02:00:43,520
Speaker 1: all the thinking to start along, whether Bryan knock them down.

2429
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:47,840
Speaker 1: I think that's a problem and the nuances that that's complexity. Yeah,

2430
02:00:47,840 --> 02:00:49,520
Speaker 1: I think I understand what you're saying. Jack guy, I'm

2431
02:00:49,520 --> 02:00:51,200
Speaker 1: gonna cut you off because it sounds like you're stacking

2432
02:00:51,280 --> 02:00:53,720
Speaker 1: symbols or something there in the background. But did I

2433
02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:56,280
Speaker 1: hear you and Peter say that defensive players might be

2434
02:00:56,440 --> 02:00:59,040
Speaker 1: using the new rule as an excuse for whether they

2435
02:00:59,280 --> 02:01:01,400
Speaker 1: have different players. The defensive lineman of the Chiefs came

2436
02:01:01,400 --> 02:01:02,760
Speaker 1: out and said, hey, I let him go because I

2437
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:06,040
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna you know, he still had the ball. Yeah,

2438
02:01:06,080 --> 02:01:08,200
Speaker 1: and Jerry Hughes and I can see that because the

2439
02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:11,040
Speaker 1: ball was over his head and he made this throwing motion.

2440
02:01:11,120 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 1: But some of these guys, not all of him, but

2441
02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:14,600
Speaker 1: some of these guys are using it as a crutch.

2442
02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:16,040
Speaker 1: And hey, I would have had a sack if it

2443
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:17,920
Speaker 1: wasn't for those new rules. And there's you know, and

2444
02:01:18,160 --> 02:01:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't buy it. I think it's a little hogwash.

2445
02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:22,120
Speaker 1: I think some of these and the guy in Miami,

2446
02:01:22,200 --> 02:01:24,360
Speaker 1: and I don't I feel bad for the guy he

2447
02:01:24,400 --> 02:01:26,920
Speaker 1: got his knee hurt uh in the Miami game sack

2448
02:01:26,960 --> 02:01:29,640
Speaker 1: and it was I mean, come on, that was the

2449
02:01:30,960 --> 02:01:33,600
Speaker 1: that was a non contact knee injury. This guy got

2450
02:01:33,680 --> 02:01:35,640
Speaker 1: in Miami and he came out complaining because it was

2451
02:01:35,680 --> 02:01:37,720
Speaker 1: because of the new rules. I don't buy it. I

2452
02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 1: don't buy it. Uh the new rules, Uh you know, yeah,

2453
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 1: they're they're in place, but come on, they're make They're

2454
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:48,960
Speaker 1: not that hard to understand. When you see him a

2455
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:51,760
Speaker 1: couple of times on video, you understand what they're asking

2456
02:01:51,800 --> 02:01:55,480
Speaker 1: the defenders to do. Uh, yes, it's new, Yes it's different.

2457
02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Yes it it takes some ability of the defensive way

2458
02:01:58,160 --> 02:02:01,720
Speaker 1: to be aggressive when they get to the quarterback. But

2459
02:02:01,880 --> 02:02:04,480
Speaker 1: come on, you're they're not asking you to, you know,

2460
02:02:05,880 --> 02:02:08,320
Speaker 1: jump through a fiery hoop to get to the quarterback.

2461
02:02:08,680 --> 02:02:11,720
Speaker 1: And I'm and and sometimes these guys are saying I

2462
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:13,520
Speaker 1: would have had a sack if it weren't for those

2463
02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 1: new rules, or I should have had a sack if

2464
02:02:15,160 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: it weren't for those new rules. I wouldn't have got

2465
02:02:17,640 --> 02:02:19,800
Speaker 1: hurt if it weren't for those new rules. I don't

2466
02:02:19,880 --> 02:02:21,720
Speaker 1: buy a lot of it. I'm sorry, Okay, you don't

2467
02:02:21,720 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 1: have to apologize. Don't apologize. I don't. I don't buy it,

2468
02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:28,520
Speaker 1: and I don't and I won't apologize for it. Don't apologize.

2469
02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:31,560
Speaker 1: Steve I'm a line from Rochester. I see you go ahead,

2470
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:36,000
Speaker 1: and this question is more for Steve, but okay, I'll

2471
02:02:36,040 --> 02:02:40,600
Speaker 1: go off for a smoke. Um. So, with Alan's injury

2472
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:42,480
Speaker 1: and if he's forced to be on the sideline and

2473
02:02:42,560 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 1: miss some time, do you ever see like the quarterback

2474
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:48,600
Speaker 1: up in the box with the OC kind of learning

2475
02:02:48,680 --> 02:02:50,760
Speaker 1: that way sitting next to him or they typically on

2476
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:54,880
Speaker 1: the sideline during the injury. Typically they're usually on the sideline. Um.

2477
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:57,520
Speaker 1: And it's interesting. I had somebody tweet that at us

2478
02:02:57,800 --> 02:02:59,920
Speaker 1: on the one Bill's Live tweet that they thought, yeah,

2479
02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:01,640
Speaker 1: to be a great chance for Josh Allen maybe to

2480
02:03:01,640 --> 02:03:03,480
Speaker 1: go up and sit with Brian dayball in the box.

2481
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:06,720
Speaker 1: And it really doesn't work like that in the box.

2482
02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:08,520
Speaker 1: And I know, you see these guys on camera, looks

2483
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:10,480
Speaker 1: like they're sitting by themselves and they've got a little

2484
02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:13,320
Speaker 1: little cubicle that they're in and there it's not. They've

2485
02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:15,280
Speaker 1: got things they're doing up there, and they've got people

2486
02:03:15,320 --> 02:03:18,080
Speaker 1: around them. Coaches. There's a whole ton of Buffalo Bill

2487
02:03:18,160 --> 02:03:22,240
Speaker 1: coaches up in the box that are observing coverages, fronts,

2488
02:03:23,960 --> 02:03:29,040
Speaker 1: offensive formations, defensive formation, defensive personnel, offensive personnel shifts, and motions.

2489
02:03:29,080 --> 02:03:31,480
Speaker 1: They're look, they're cataloging all this stuff and they've got

2490
02:03:31,960 --> 02:03:34,600
Speaker 1: areas of responsibility. So it's not like Brian Dabele is

2491
02:03:34,600 --> 02:03:37,280
Speaker 1: sitting up there with his feet up between offensive series,

2492
02:03:37,320 --> 02:03:40,080
Speaker 1: sitting there chit chatting down on the sidelines to the quarterbacks.

2493
02:03:40,440 --> 02:03:42,880
Speaker 1: They'll have a quick conversation with the quarterback on the phone,

2494
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:45,320
Speaker 1: but then they've got other stuff they're doing up in

2495
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:48,560
Speaker 1: the booth that are that's about the defense as well

2496
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:50,880
Speaker 1: as the offense. So they it's not like he can

2497
02:03:50,960 --> 02:03:53,320
Speaker 1: sit up there and they can talk football and have

2498
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:56,160
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee between offensive series. Josh Allen and

2499
02:03:56,200 --> 02:03:58,800
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. Now he's there's no time. Yeah, there's

2500
02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:01,360
Speaker 1: no time for that. Josh will be down the field,

2501
02:04:01,400 --> 02:04:04,560
Speaker 1: no question about it. He'll be talking to the quarterbacks,

2502
02:04:05,160 --> 02:04:09,400
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman and and Derek Anderson. When he comes off,

2503
02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 1: they'll he'll be in there and he'll be engaged and

2504
02:04:11,560 --> 02:04:13,720
Speaker 1: he'll be listening and trying to help anyway he can

2505
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, I mean up there, there's no

2506
02:04:15,760 --> 02:04:19,640
Speaker 1: time for the quarters and nobody's listening to anybody in

2507
02:04:19,680 --> 02:04:21,760
Speaker 1: the in the booth. They all got headphones on talking

2508
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 1: to the sideline. So good question, though, here's Don and

2509
02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:28,720
Speaker 1: go Onda go ahead, Don, Hello, I'm just calling to

2510
02:04:28,800 --> 02:04:31,880
Speaker 1: say that I think Derek Anderson is is a real

2511
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:36,000
Speaker 1: good alternative for the Bills right now. Our defense is

2512
02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:40,320
Speaker 1: playing good enough to win. If our offense to stay

2513
02:04:40,400 --> 02:04:42,800
Speaker 1: on the field for a little bit longer and hand

2514
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:46,040
Speaker 1: some more sustained drives, I think we'd be in good shape,

2515
02:04:46,080 --> 02:04:48,680
Speaker 1: and I think Derek Anderson can probably help us with that.

2516
02:04:49,320 --> 02:04:52,440
Speaker 1: You think you think Derek Anderson? I mean, how good

2517
02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:56,880
Speaker 1: does Derek Anderson do you think have to be? Well,

2518
02:04:56,960 --> 02:05:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty points a game, maybe seventeen somewhere

2519
02:05:01,240 --> 02:05:03,560
Speaker 1: around here. Yeah, I mean we would have certainly everybody

2520
02:05:03,560 --> 02:05:06,760
Speaker 1: would have taken that twenty points last week. Yeah, that

2521
02:05:06,800 --> 02:05:08,880
Speaker 1: would have made a big difference, and certainly it was

2522
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:10,760
Speaker 1: it would have been enough to beat the Titans as well.

2523
02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:13,200
Speaker 1: So given the way to the defense to play, you're right,

2524
02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:17,640
Speaker 1: don appreciate the call. It that looks like that's all

2525
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:20,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna take for this team to string some wins together.

2526
02:05:20,640 --> 02:05:24,120
Speaker 1: But you know, everything's week to week and the defense

2527
02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:25,600
Speaker 1: may come out and lay an egg at some point

2528
02:05:25,640 --> 02:05:31,640
Speaker 1: as well. Over, would you say, non repeat, please nope. Okay, Hey,

2529
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:33,880
Speaker 1: let's get to NFL true and false, brought to you

2530
02:05:33,960 --> 02:05:36,240
Speaker 1: by Yancey's Fancy New York's artists and Cheese. A couple

2531
02:05:36,280 --> 02:05:42,200
Speaker 1: of a couple of these never failed NFL true and false.

2532
02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:46,240
Speaker 1: They just they're ridiculous. First one, Cowboys will conquer the

2533
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:50,960
Speaker 1: NFC East. No false. I watched the Cowboys Texans game

2534
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:52,600
Speaker 1: from two weeks ago. I watched it over and over

2535
02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:55,160
Speaker 1: last week. Cowboys are not that good. The Eagles are

2536
02:05:55,240 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 1: still the team to beat in that division. Make no

2537
02:05:57,320 --> 02:06:01,000
Speaker 1: mistake about it. The Cowboys will not conquer the East. Falls.

2538
02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:05,080
Speaker 1: I agree Philly. They're both three and three. The washington

2539
02:06:05,200 --> 02:06:09,280
Speaker 1: is three and two. Yeah, it's between those two teams.

2540
02:06:09,320 --> 02:06:11,120
Speaker 1: No quite. I don't think Washington's is gonna be able

2541
02:06:11,200 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 1: to sustain their winning record. Yeah, Philly is the team

2542
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:19,280
Speaker 1: to beat. Now. I'm I'm not totally as soul as

2543
02:06:19,320 --> 02:06:20,920
Speaker 1: you are. I'm not as emphatic as you are, because

2544
02:06:20,960 --> 02:06:24,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do have a legit defense, But yeah, they're

2545
02:06:24,680 --> 02:06:28,520
Speaker 1: not the Philadelphia Eagles. No. Number two NFL true or false.

2546
02:06:28,640 --> 02:06:31,600
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald the top big name NFL player off to

2547
02:06:31,680 --> 02:06:34,600
Speaker 1: a bad start. What about Eli Manning? He's off to

2548
02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:37,800
Speaker 1: a pretty horrible start. What about well, Danny Amondola not

2549
02:06:37,800 --> 02:06:39,840
Speaker 1: a big name player, what about Lashawan McCoy. So I

2550
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:42,200
Speaker 1: might argue that he is a big name player off

2551
02:06:42,200 --> 02:06:44,360
Speaker 1: to a bad start. I would put Manning at the

2552
02:06:44,400 --> 02:06:46,120
Speaker 1: top of that list. I would say this is false.

2553
02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:50,000
Speaker 1: I firmly believe Larry Fitzgerald will rebound. I mean, they

2554
02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:52,720
Speaker 1: have issues in Arizona, but I know he's a quality

2555
02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:54,240
Speaker 1: player who will wind up at the end of the

2556
02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:59,520
Speaker 1: year having decent numbers. Your thoughts, please, mister tasker, I'll

2557
02:06:59,520 --> 02:07:03,320
Speaker 1: say true, he's it's hard for a guy like a

2558
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:05,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver get off to a fast start. He's catching

2559
02:07:05,960 --> 02:07:09,120
Speaker 1: passes from a rookie quarterback who doesn't pull the trigger

2560
02:07:09,120 --> 02:07:11,560
Speaker 1: as quickly. And I'm saying he's off to a fast start.

2561
02:07:11,600 --> 02:07:13,280
Speaker 1: And the reason I pick him over a guy like

2562
02:07:13,400 --> 02:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Eli Manning or any other guys that you could possibly

2563
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:20,520
Speaker 1: put your finger on, I would say probably because it

2564
02:07:20,640 --> 02:07:22,640
Speaker 1: looks like he's probably gonna be sustained a bad year.

2565
02:07:22,680 --> 02:07:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna be a rough year in Arizona.

2566
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:26,880
Speaker 1: They're in the running for the top draft pick, they're

2567
02:07:27,080 --> 02:07:31,960
Speaker 1: them in Oakland. You know that's a team that's struggling,

2568
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:33,760
Speaker 1: and as a wide receiver there's not much you can

2569
02:07:33,840 --> 02:07:37,080
Speaker 1: do to help it if they don't throw you the football. Finally,

2570
02:07:37,240 --> 02:07:40,280
Speaker 1: NFL two or false London is ready for an NFL team.

2571
02:07:41,080 --> 02:07:43,120
Speaker 1: By ready, do we mean two or three years out?

2572
02:07:43,560 --> 02:07:45,800
Speaker 1: I'll say true. Yeah, and talking to Peter about it,

2573
02:07:45,880 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 1: reading about it, the uptick in attendance in London, the

2574
02:07:49,680 --> 02:07:52,360
Speaker 1: quick the way they sell out these games quickly. Now

2575
02:07:53,480 --> 02:07:56,680
Speaker 1: ready for a sixteen game NFL team moving there completely.

2576
02:07:56,720 --> 02:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. But something's going on with

2577
02:07:58,880 --> 02:08:01,440
Speaker 1: the Jaguars right if if their owner is looking into

2578
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:03,560
Speaker 1: buying Wembley Stadium, I mean, where do you think that's going?

2579
02:08:03,680 --> 02:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Why does he want to buy Wembley? He wants his

2580
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:07,680
Speaker 1: team to play there. Yes, London is ready for an

2581
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:09,800
Speaker 1: NFL team, I say true. I'll go further than that.

2582
02:08:09,880 --> 02:08:12,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a I think it's virtually inevitable. It's

2583
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:16,480
Speaker 1: going to happen, and it'll happen within Yeah, it'll happen

2584
02:08:16,520 --> 02:08:19,400
Speaker 1: within five years. I think I think they'll have a

2585
02:08:19,480 --> 02:08:22,440
Speaker 1: team in London before Buffalo gets a new stadium. I

2586
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:24,520
Speaker 1: think they'll I think they may be there, may be

2587
02:08:24,600 --> 02:08:27,040
Speaker 1: a team in London before they take the field in

2588
02:08:27,120 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 1: the new stadium in la or the one in Las Vegas.

2589
02:08:30,920 --> 02:08:32,440
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be an NFL team in

2590
02:08:32,520 --> 02:08:35,120
Speaker 1: London very quickly. There you go, NFL two or false

02:09:33,520 --> 02:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio. What have we learned from

2612
02:09:50,520 --> 02:09:53,800
Speaker 1: today's show? Presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's

2615
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:02,400
Speaker 1: home eater provider all the Buffalo Bills. When we learned

2616
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:04,280
Speaker 1: we had Kyle Williams and he was outstanding with us.

2617
02:10:04,320 --> 02:10:06,120
Speaker 1: In the first half hour of the show of the Bills,

2618
02:10:06,200 --> 02:10:09,920
Speaker 1: veteran defensive tackle talked about the Buffalo defense, how they

2619
02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:11,920
Speaker 1: were good, but they could be better, and he mentioned

2620
02:10:11,960 --> 02:10:13,760
Speaker 1: the last drive of the game for the Houston Texans

2621
02:10:13,880 --> 02:10:19,040
Speaker 1: last Sunday. I feel like we put our team in

2622
02:10:19,160 --> 02:10:23,080
Speaker 1: position to win on Sunday from our performance. You know

2623
02:10:23,200 --> 02:10:27,160
Speaker 1: through the game. The disappointing thing is when we took

2624
02:10:27,200 --> 02:10:29,680
Speaker 1: the field with three minutes left or whatever it was

2625
02:10:30,840 --> 02:10:33,120
Speaker 1: we had an opportunity to kind of loose out nail

2626
02:10:33,160 --> 02:10:35,560
Speaker 1: and coffin, right, And we talked about it yesterday. As

2627
02:10:35,560 --> 02:10:38,160
Speaker 1: a defense, there their progressions and you can go from

2628
02:10:38,200 --> 02:10:41,360
Speaker 1: average to good and good to great, and that drive

2629
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:46,000
Speaker 1: signifies the difference between being good and being a great defense. Right,

2630
02:10:46,080 --> 02:10:48,680
Speaker 1: So we actually made the play to do it half

2631
02:10:48,760 --> 02:10:51,440
Speaker 1: of it right. So that's kind of where kind of

2632
02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 1: where we sat as a defense. Interesting perspective from Captain

2633
02:10:55,000 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Kyl Williams. Also on the show today, Joe Person joined

2634
02:10:57,440 --> 02:11:00,960
Speaker 1: us covers the Carolina Panthers for the Let It in Charlotte,

2635
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:03,040
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Got with him because we want to ask

2636
02:11:03,160 --> 02:11:05,480
Speaker 1: about Derek Anderson, the chance that he could start for

2637
02:11:05,600 --> 02:11:07,280
Speaker 1: the Bills this Sunday, and what he looked like when

2638
02:11:07,320 --> 02:11:09,440
Speaker 1: he was seven years with the Carolina Panthers. Here's what

2639
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Joe Person had to say. He's seen a lot in

2640
02:11:14,200 --> 02:11:17,160
Speaker 1: this listue, I mean nothing, and I know this is

2641
02:11:17,240 --> 02:11:19,680
Speaker 1: a you know, a weird situation where you're kind of

2642
02:11:19,720 --> 02:11:23,360
Speaker 1: throwing to the wolves. But but Derek Anderson is not

2643
02:11:23,440 --> 02:11:26,480
Speaker 1: going to be phased by it. I mean, he's been around,

2644
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:31,160
Speaker 1: he's seen probably as the defensive gimmick and game. That's

2645
02:11:31,200 --> 02:11:33,520
Speaker 1: that you can see. Is it going to be easy

2646
02:11:33,640 --> 02:11:36,920
Speaker 1: this week? If he ends up being startled and obviously

2647
02:11:37,040 --> 02:11:41,680
Speaker 1: not that he'll be there, Holby spending a lot of

2648
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:44,680
Speaker 1: time in the building, you know, probably working what they

2649
02:11:44,800 --> 02:11:48,000
Speaker 1: say coaches alas in there when it's dark and leaving

2650
02:11:48,080 --> 02:11:51,200
Speaker 1: when it's dark and trying to absorb as much as

2651
02:11:51,240 --> 02:11:54,400
Speaker 1: he can to put himself and the Bills in a

2652
02:11:54,720 --> 02:11:57,680
Speaker 1: position to be successful. Well, we'll see. Is it gonna

2653
02:11:57,680 --> 02:12:00,520
Speaker 1: be Derek Anderson? That was a Twitter poll today if

2654
02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:02,800
Speaker 1: the Bills need to replace Josh Allenby because I'm injury.

2655
02:12:02,840 --> 02:12:04,680
Speaker 1: It looks like he will not play this Sunday. Week

2656
02:12:04,720 --> 02:12:07,200
Speaker 1: to week. Sean McDermott says, can they win if it's

2657
02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:09,240
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson? We don't know if it will be Anderson,

2658
02:12:09,320 --> 02:12:11,560
Speaker 1: but that was our Twitter pole question and about two

2659
02:12:11,640 --> 02:12:14,200
Speaker 1: thirds of you, sixty four percent say yeah, they could

2660
02:12:14,200 --> 02:12:17,040
Speaker 1: win if it's Derek Anderson. This week thirty six percent

2661
02:12:17,120 --> 02:12:18,960
Speaker 1: said no. And look, we kind of got into it

2662
02:12:18,960 --> 02:12:20,480
Speaker 1: a little bit, Steve, you don't want to think about

2663
02:12:20,520 --> 02:12:23,640
Speaker 1: playing the entire season with Derek Anderson as your starter.

2664
02:12:23,760 --> 02:12:25,720
Speaker 1: It may turn out that way. We have no indication

2665
02:12:25,760 --> 02:12:27,840
Speaker 1: that it would but this week, I think they can

2666
02:12:27,920 --> 02:12:30,760
Speaker 1: get by with him, right, Yeah, Well, they're not going

2667
02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:33,400
Speaker 1: to have much choice as Derek Anderson or Nate Peterman.

2668
02:12:33,560 --> 02:12:35,879
Speaker 1: And you know, the way, given the way the success

2669
02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:38,880
Speaker 1: or lack there of Nate Peterman, even if Nate Peterman

2670
02:12:38,960 --> 02:12:41,200
Speaker 1: is the starter, he ain't gonna finish the game. I mean,

2671
02:12:41,280 --> 02:12:43,480
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's been the way it's gone for

2672
02:12:43,560 --> 02:12:45,280
Speaker 1: him in the last couple of times he's been out there.

2673
02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:47,880
Speaker 1: So you don't want to think about that. But it

2674
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:50,720
Speaker 1: is a race to see whether Derek Anderson can get

2675
02:12:50,800 --> 02:12:53,560
Speaker 1: ready to play, if he's physically ready to play the game,

2676
02:12:53,960 --> 02:12:56,040
Speaker 1: after you know, not being in training camp, not being

2677
02:12:56,040 --> 02:12:59,360
Speaker 1: an offseason with the team, and he and you know,

2678
02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:01,800
Speaker 1: obviously early on in the offseason the Bills were the

2679
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:05,839
Speaker 1: only team interested in Derek Anderson either, so he decided

2680
02:13:05,840 --> 02:13:08,080
Speaker 1: to finally come in and give a team his services.

2681
02:13:08,120 --> 02:13:10,760
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, two weeks after he

2682
02:13:10,840 --> 02:13:12,320
Speaker 1: decides to do that, a week after he decides to

2683
02:13:12,320 --> 02:13:13,680
Speaker 1: do that, he turns out he might have to start

2684
02:13:13,720 --> 02:13:17,280
Speaker 1: the games. Yeah, which is unexpected on all counts. Well,

2685
02:13:17,320 --> 02:13:19,400
Speaker 1: we may find out tomorrow. Sean McDermott meets with the

2686
02:13:19,480 --> 02:13:22,240
Speaker 1: media about eleven twenty tomorrow morning before practice. Maybe we'll

2687
02:13:22,280 --> 02:13:24,640
Speaker 1: have an indication of who he plans on starting on Sunday.

2688
02:13:24,680 --> 02:13:26,880
Speaker 1: We'll be here to cover that. Hey, the Bills on
