21
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: logic there except that in the United States will never

22
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: get up the right to complain. Now, well, right, he's

23
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: not good. But here's the thing is a birthright. Let's

24
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: can we go back to last evening because for those

25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: people that live locally in the western New York area,

26
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: I was I thought I was in I thought I

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: was in Kansas in the Wizard of Oz. Steve, what happened?

28
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Fifty mile an hour winds? Did you did you feel

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: that last night? Were your windows shaken a little bit? Yeah? Yeah,

30
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I was chasing audio furniture last night. My dog Verne

31
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: was barking at the wind. He thought, you're lucky Verned

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: didn't blow away. Well, I had him inside. I had

33
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: a leash on him, tied to the chairs. But yeah,

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: like the witch, and we suppose I had a picnic

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: basket with the lid shoes. But that was bad out.

36
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: It was bad. It was not good. I mean I

37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: did go up in Kansas. We do get windy days here.

38
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it's no secret that the wind's gonna blow

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: around here in the wintertime. But man, I grew up

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: in Kansas and I saw my shared tornadoes, no question

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: about it. And I've been through some some stuff yeah, um,

42
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: do you have a shelter and everything? Like the underground thing.

43
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: We're pulling the thing down. Yeah, I've been. Yeah, I've

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: seen a lot way too flat out there. That's the

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: lot we see. That's the thing. It's it's actually a

46
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: really good that it is. You can see it coming,

47
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: oh well, from miles and miles away, you see it come.

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: You can see the storm brewing, and you can see

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: it coming, and there's plenty of time and out there. Yeah,

50
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: I've gotten I've gotten kicked around by a few tornadoes,

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: all right, So way to downplay the fifty mile an

52
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: hour winds last night. Well, nevertheless, never we're just dealing

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: with chump change here, I guess here. The problem is.

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: It's kind of scary though, because if you get out

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: there in it, in in Buffalo, like in like where

56
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm at, down here in the south towns where the

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: trees everywhere, you can't see it. No, it could be

58
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: a tornado right on top of you you, and you'll never

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: know it. We'd rarely get it. You're dead, rarely until

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: you're dead. It's true, all I know. And I'm texting

61
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: my neighbors saying, hey, if you come across a trash

62
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: can lid. Oh yeah, that's square and dark brown. That's

63
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: mine because it got blown into oblivion last night last night,

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, I had all everything got blown to the

65
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: center my driveway. Yeah, looking around for like gremlin's you know,

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: like it's like a Halloween prank, set everything up like

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: fifty feet from where it was set up. I had

68
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: somebody else's garbage stream throughout my front lawn. So I'm

69
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: picking that up, throwing it in my garbage can this morning.

70
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: So I go over to my side of the yard

71
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: in between my house and my neighbor's house, and there

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: is an inflatable pool float in my side lawn area

73
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: from I mean that thing had to blow over fences,

74
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: it had to be airborne for hundreds of feet. I

75
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: have no idea idea. So now I have inherited an

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: inflatable taco float a taco. It's in the shape of

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: a taco. Guy's got eyeballs and a mustache. So if

78
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: you own that, uh hey, you know, just get on

79
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,120

00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: kind of get it to its rightful owner. But I

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: walk around the corner of my house. It's unbelievable, right,

83
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's not small, It's like the size of

84
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: this desk. My We're kept going in and out of

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: the driveway yesterday this morning, and it looks like it

86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: looks like somebody. I don't know what it is. I

87
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: got tree brand, not not branches, but twigs. It's like

88
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 1: I'm storing them on my drive I got a curve

89
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: in my driveway. Come around the curve. It's like, who

90
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: you went, chipped dumped pick up load of twigs in

91
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: my driveway. I'm like, I wonder if I could you

92
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: drive over? And I even be four flat tires or something.

93
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: I gotta yeah, I gotta pull in some favors. You

94
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: get somebody to get those pull in some face. It

95
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: got a rake. But yeah, that was a bad night

96
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: last night, but better days on the way this weekend.

97
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: Well here and here was the most frustrating part. So

98
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: my daughter got home later than everybody else last night.

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: And she has this habit of not closing the garage

100
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: on her way in the house, and I don't know

101
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: what phenomenon exists in my neighborhood, but leaves oh yeah,

102
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: from everyone else's yard, encircle my yard, and then somehow

103
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: blow from behind the house, wrap around and go into

104
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: my garage. Same thing. If I do not have the

105
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: door down, your door is on the down wind side

106
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 1: of the house. Right, yes, yeah, okay, but nobody else

107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: experiences this same problem. I must be perfect the lead positioned.

108
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my neighbor's yard, not a leaf in sight.

109
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: I look at my other neighbors, not a leaf anywhere.

110
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: I've got everybody's leaves in my yard. This is how

111
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: I know God has a sense of humor. I mean

112
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: really because and so garage door not down, and I've

113
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: got probably three to four hundred leaves in my garage.

114
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: So I'll leave that to uh, got to my firstborn

115
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: to take care of. She you're gonna make. She'll be

116
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: handling that today. So if you're gonna make her, if

117
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: she leaves the less like, this's like. If you're not

118
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: gonna vote, don't learn the hard way. If you're not

119
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna vote, don't complain. If you're gonna leave the garage

120
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: door open, you're gonna sweep the garage and do the

121
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: leaves there you go. That's it. And this is one

122
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: of those days there's too that we got starters today

123
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: before the show start about the trade deadline, about who's

124
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: I think I got this theory, Yes, an interesting theory.

125
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: So you know when I hope you're not getting people's

126
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: hopes up with this. But back in the day, we're

127
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: in the Bills, we're gonna go out on free and

128
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna fix their offensive line. And then they go

129
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: out and we were all had them. They were all

130
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: gonna sign. The Bills are gonna sign this Matt Paradis

131
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: from Denver in Denver at the time, Yeah, Stellard Center Center.

132
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna be great down He's a thirty year old

133
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: got out of and the Bills actually go after Mitts

134
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: when they got Mitch Morris, who've been to me. To

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: my mind was like, oh my gosh, he's even better. Right.

136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: And now the whole thing is we're getting a lot

137
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: of feedback on our Twitter question about you know, what

138
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: should the Bills do and this night, and everybody thinks

139
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: they should get this guy, Dalvin Tomlinson because he's affordable

140
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: defensive tech, right, So my think it My thought is

141
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: that's too obvious. I think they're gonna go with somebody

142
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: I think that if they are gonna make a move,

143
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: it'll be somebody we all don't know, you know what

144
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, It won't be the obvious choice. You think,

145
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: somebody that the front office has been working on for

146
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: weeks exactly and then all of a sudden boom. You know,

147
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: I like this Roons work about this guy about it.

148
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: But Dalvin Thomlinson might be too expensive here or there.

149
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: But I think they might wow us with it. All

150
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I know is they never get the guy I think

151
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna grab, which would be Dalvin Thomlins. Yeah, I

152
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: never I'm never right. Well, you know, it's it's hard

153
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: to know exactly all the considerations that they feel are

154
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: fits that are on the table and the likelihood of

155
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: pulling any of those off. Sometimes it's based on relationships

156
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: with other gms. I think that's why people are naturally

157
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: pointing at Dalvin Tomlinson. Not only is he affordable, not

158
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: only is he playing a position that would help the

159
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Bills if they believe he's capable of tying up two

160
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: blockers on every play. But Brandon Bean has a very

161
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: good working relationship with Giants GM Dave Gentleman from having

162
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: worked together in Carolina. So people try to connect the

163
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: dots that way because they have nothing else to go.

164
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: I think sometimes that's a little bit, maybe a lot

165
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: overstated that they that they know the guy and they'll

166
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: call him up. Because if you're in NFLGM and you

167
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: get a call from another GM, you pick the phone

168
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: up right, no matter who it is. Yeah, So I

169
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: mean I get it. They man had their gut. Maybe

170
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: he's on his speed I doubt he's on his speed

171
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: dial with the family. But still I get I get

172
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: where they're going to try and connect those dots. But

173
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: those dots are part of a different puzzle. Yeah, to me.

174
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: We saw the Bills add linebacker Darren Lead to the

175
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: practice squad, a former first round pick of the Jets

176
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: never really panned out there for them, played inside linebacker

177
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: in their three four defense, played a similar position for

178
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and is now here. And I view him

179
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: Steve as a guy who, once he gets a handle

180
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: on this system, he will probably be, you know, a

181
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: Sunday call up and they'll see how he does. The

182
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: thing about Darren Lee that intrigues me is coming in

183
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: the door. He is the next most athletic linebacker next

184
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: to Matt Milano right now on this roster, second most

185
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: athletic linebacker on the roster. I mean that guy can

186
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: really run. I just wonder about the scheme change because

187
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: he's played in three four as his entire NFL career.

188
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking this is going to be a little bit

189
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: of an adjustment for him to get the hang of this.

190
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: But hey, if he's quick on the uptake, we could

191
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: see him sooner rather than later, especially knowing the pitch

192
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: count that Matt Milano will continue to be on. Defensive

193
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: coordinator Leslie Frasier, in addressing the media yesterday, said, we

194
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: have to play him sparingly to try to allow that

195
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: injury to heal on the fly. We risk that not

196
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: happening if he plays too much or God forbid, making

197
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: the injury worse. So it looks like for the foreseeable future,

198
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Matt Milano is going to be a pitch count player

199
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: for the Bills. And what did he get thirteen snaps

200
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: last week? Now, that was due in part to the

201
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: fact that New England barely threw the football. I think

202
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 1: that against teams like Seattle, for example, who throw the

203
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: football more often than any other team in the league,

204
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: get almost sixty five percent. He might be on the

205
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: field a little bit more to play in pass coverage

206
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: where he can help them the most and maybe not

207
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: expose that injury to making it worse. You know you're

208
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: in the box and you're grinding, that's when you can

209
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: exacerbate that peck injury. You know you're back in pass

210
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: coverage probably less risky. So he might be on the

211
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: field a good deal more this week, knowing the propensity

212
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: with which the Seahawks throw the football. But I see

213
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: Darren Lee as someone that is an insurance measure in

214
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: the event that God forbids something happens to Malano, because

215
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: we've seen the amount of athleticism this defense loses when

216
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: he is not on the field. Yeah, I think too

217
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: that you gotta have a coaching staff, and i'm McDermot.

218
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: This is on McDermott's plate. Now you get this guy

219
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: in here, you gotta get him up speed in the system.

220
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: You got to find out what you can ask him

221
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: to do, and what he can do, what he feels

222
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: comfortable doing, what he's done before, how he fits, what

223
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: he's good at, what he's not good at. But you're right,

224
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: a guy becomes a first round draft pick in the

225
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: NFL because he has measurables. He's fast, and he's athletic, strong,

226
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff. He looks the part, but

227
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: when you know, when he doesn't make it, there's all

228
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: kinds of reasons. You got to find out what those are.

229
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: And certainly the Bills have done their due diligence and

230
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: are willing to at least live with whatever deficiencies he's had,

231
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: whatever they may be. But this is going to be

232
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: a race now to get him ready to play. How

233
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: fast they can get him ready to play, how much

234
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: they can give him in the beginning, and how fast

235
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: he can bless you, how fast he can get acclimated

236
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: to the system and may and if he does, if

237
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: if say, for instance, Darren Lee is a home run,

238
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: how fast? How much? How big a menu can they

239
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: give him week to week to week to week to

240
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: week and more and more and more responsibilities, more and

241
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: more snaps. But for right now, he's not going to

242
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: see the field against Seattle. No I would. I'd be shocked.

243
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: I think what you have here. And the knock on

244
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 1: him in New York was could not hold up sufficiently

245
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: against the run A little light in the pants. You know,

246
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: he's listed at two thirty two. A lot of people

247
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: felt he played ten pounds lighter than that, like low

248
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: two twenties. Um. And you look at his frame, you know,

249
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: he's got he's narrow framed. Um. He's an athlete, but

250
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: he's not He's not a stand in there and stuff

251
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: the run guy. He's a pass coverage guy. And there

252
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: was you know, going back and reading you know when

253
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: when the Jets parted ways with him, the knocks were

254
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: stopping the run a little you know, a little light

255
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: and holding his ground, and then the other knock was

256
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: not super instinctive, um in reading the pass game. So

257
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: we're probably three more seasons down the road now. You know,

258
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: there's there's an opportunity there to acquire some knowledge and

259
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: experience with a lot of that stuff. But he's going

260
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: to be in a new scheme here, so I do

261
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: anticipate it's going to take some time, and I have

262
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: to believe Steve that you know, he's coming in the

263
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: door here in week nine. You know, get a feel

264
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: for the scheme this week, get a feel for the

265
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: scheme next week, work with the linebacker coaches. The entire

266
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: bye week week eleven, and then maybe after that they

267
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: may say, you know what, he's ready, Let's call him

268
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: up from the practice squad. Let's give him a role

269
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: in a package of plays here and see how he does.

270
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: He's in the evaluation stage right now. Once even once

271
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: he gets in the door, they'll be they'll what about this.

272
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: Here's what we call this, and here's what your responsibilities

273
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: are if you done this before and say, yeah, but

274
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: you're right. Having him bounce around the league a little

275
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: bit before he gets here is going to expose him

276
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: to a lot of stuff, a lot of terminology and

277
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: a lot of concepts that will help him. But I

278
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: think at best, you know, certainly they could give him

279
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: some limited snaps if they need him. And I don't

280
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: know if he plays special teams or not, but you know,

281
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: if he does play special teams, at least they can

282
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: activate him and keep him ready, give him a short

283
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: menu of defensive calls he can play in certain situations

284
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: against certain personnel groups. Yeah, and that's that's where you

285
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: start from, and then you move build it up from there. Um. Yeah,

286
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: it's they need depth and they need athleticism at that

287
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: spot is what they need. Uh, Milano is not a

288
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: big dude. You know, it's about two twenty eight, right,

289
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: So he's about the same thing as Milano. Uh, if

290
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get some help up front, he's just

291
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: a guy that can replace Milano if Milano goes down.

292
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: If Milano gives you another three weeks before his peck

293
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: finally gives out, this guy's got three weeks to get

294
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: ready to step in. Um, whether he's an upgrade or

295
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: a sideways trade. And people would probably take sideways, right, Um,

296
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: I do not if you get there. Yeah, And and

297
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: he's probably a better sub package option from an athletic

298
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: standpoint than a J. Klein, So right that that's why

299
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: it's just then offer. They're just the opposite guy. Lee

300
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: is is this lightning fast athlete. Klein is a guy

301
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: who's always gonna try at least be in the right spot.

302
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna know where he's supposed to. He's

303
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: gonna stand in and fit in the run game. And

304
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: he's a heavier but that's you know, I don't know

305
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: if this is a league anymore where you have guys

306
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: like that, you know, right, I even Klein is like

307
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: two thirty eight, right, you know, Maine is two thirty eight,

308
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: two forty at most. I don't even think he's two forty.

309
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: I think he's like two thirty eight somewhere in there.

310
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: So you don't have two hundred and fifty pound linebackers

311
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: in this league anymore. They're playing defensive ends. Yeah right, Seriously,

312
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: if you're two six, exceptions are your three four outside linebackers,

313
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: some of those might be two fifty because they have

314
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: to be well like And here you know a j.

315
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: Klein is that side. He's six five, two seventy. He

316
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: was two eighty in college. I don't know if he's

317
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: that heavy now, No, no, no, And so you got

318
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: guy and Jerry Hughes of course, you know even fifty five, right,

319
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: so they're like, you know, defensive ends. Now the pendulum

320
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: has swung all over the But it used to be

321
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: defensive ends were big range two seventies two eighties, who

322
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: could set the edge of the defense and slide to

323
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: the outside to keep the running back scooting him to

324
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: the sideline for no gain. Then they started being pass

325
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: rushers like Khalil Max and Jerry Hughes. Von Miller's kind

326
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: of guys who were gonna just outrun the tackle. To

327
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And conversely, the tackles got bigger and bigger

328
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 1: and bigger and bigger, and that's why the defensive ends

329
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: started getting smaller and smaller to counteract it. So you

330
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: know that's where you're sitting now with these athletes, the

331
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: athletes in the line. Once you get your hand off

332
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: the ground on a defense, you have to run. That's it. Yeah,

333
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: you gotta be fast now. I don't care if you're

334
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: two sixty or two ten. You got to you gotta

335
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: be really fast. And right now the Bills are lacking

336
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: some speeded linebacker. Yeah, the whole question about it. Uh.

337
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott confirmed what many of us already assumed that

338
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris is in the concussion protocol. So we hope

339
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: he's in and out of the protocol sooner rather than later.

340
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: But I know everybody is concerned and light of the

341
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: fact that the last time he was in concussion protocol

342
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: last summer took him five weeks to get out and

343
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: medically medically cleared. And from what we understand, and according

344
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: to some reports, this is his fifth documented concussion of

345
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: his career, so that's a lot. So we hope the

346
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: best for Mitch Morris obviously, and hope he's back and

347
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: medically cleared sooner rather than later. But we're just gonna

348
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: have to wait and see how that all plays out.

349
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: So John Feliciano could very well be back in the

350
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: pivot this week against the Seahawks, which then brings to

351
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: mind the revolving door that seems to exist at the

352
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: left guard position, where you've had upwards of four players

353
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: play that position this season. Clinton Spain started there at

354
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. He's not even here anymore.

355
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: He's in Cincinnati, and Cody Ford assumed that position, then

356
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: he got injured, Mike Butcker came in, and then week

357
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: Feliciano played there for one drive and then moved to

358
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: center because Mitch Morris got injured. And now the question

359
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: is is Cody Ford gonna be healthy enough to reassume

360
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: that position coming off a knee injury, or are they

361
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to turn back to Ike Bucker to start

362
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: there at left guard. Yeah, they're moving now. They've got

363
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: some quality players. I like the were their depth. They

364
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: have no stability at all. I mean, that's been the

365
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: issue now and with Morse going down, that's an enormous

366
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: hole and a enormous wrench in the works. Feliciano, by

367
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: whatever luck or happenstance, is back in the lineup, which

368
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: is a huge boost. And Cody Ford, I don't know it.

369
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: We'll have to watch his status this week to see

370
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: if he practices full or half or limited, or if

371
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: he's questionable all that. You need him back on the

372
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: field as well. They've got the bodies to do it,

373
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: but none of them are going to be playing where

374
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: they thought they were going to be playing. I thought

375
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: Bucker had a good game last week. I thought he

376
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: played pretty well, and Feliciano made the transition to center

377
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: pretty seamless, considering he got absolutely zero. What did you

378
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: think about the the commentary and the note people noticed

379
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: that when Bates came in at center and during after

380
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: more right, when Morse came out, they went bang bang

381
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: bang bang bang, touchdown and then made the switch to Feliciano,

382
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: took Bates out and put Buttcker in and for the

383
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: rest of the seat the rest of the day, it

384
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: didn't seem to go as good as that good first drive.

385
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: But what do you think, Yeah, I think you can

386
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: you can chalk that up to a couple of things.

387
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: Number One, the opposing defense on your first series, right,

388
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: is trying to get a feel for what the heck

389
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: you're doing, and then they adjust. And so I think

390
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: it had less to do with the personnel on the

391
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: field on the offensive line than it did with the

392
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball for

393
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: New England kind of adjusting to what it is that

394
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: the Bills were trying to do offensively. So I think

395
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: it was more a byproduct of that. I'm not trying

396
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: to dismiss what those guys did when they were in there.

397
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: My stance on that is, you didn't rush for one

398
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety yards on first drive, right, you know.

399
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: So when they made that change to Feliciano going to

400
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: center and brought but Ger in off the bench, they

401
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: continued to run the football all day. Their approach was unchanged, right.

402
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: I mean, seven of the first ten plays, seven of

403
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: the ten plays on that first scoring drive were run plays,

404
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 1: and on their three touchdown drives on Sunday, twenty of

405
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: their twenty four called plays were plays on the ground. Now, granted,

406
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: couple of those were scrambles by Alan when he had

407
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: nobody to throw to but twenty of the twenty four

408
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: plays on the three touchdown drives all on the ground,

409
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: so there was a concerted effort to do that. And

410
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: I found Brian Dable's comment pretty interesting when he was

411
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: made available to the media yesterday afternoon. He essentially said, Yeah,

412
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: at Friday's practice, we practiced two pass plays. Everything else

413
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: we practiced were run plays on Friday. So I think

414
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: that's a pretty strong indication of how the play calling

415
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: was going to lean, barring some kind of disaster in

416
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: Sunday's game. We do have the Twitter poll up for

417
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: you to comment on, and we've got a lot of

418
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: comments so far already on the tweet sheet, which we'll

419
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: get to a little bit later in the show. The

420
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: NFL trade trade deadline is at four o'clock today. If

421
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: the Bills are to make a move, what or who

422
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: do you want and why put your GM hat on

423
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: for the day and let us know who or what

424
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: you would do to help Buffalo's roster. Here for the

425
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: back half of the regular season schedule, we know the

426
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: team is in good shape at six and two four,

427
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: and knowing the division, the gauntlet of five games on

428
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: this schedule, that everybody was pointing to when the schedule

429
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: came out back in April. Is sitting there right in

430
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: front of them now, And it begins with the Seahawks,

431
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: the team that is number two in the league and scoring.

432
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: I think they're the leading team in passing, I don't know,

433
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: the third in passing and number three total offense, and

434
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: their red zone offense I think is second in the

435
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: league as well. So a high octane it's hack to

436
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: say the least. And uh dk Metcalf with a coming

437
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: out party last week, twelve catches one hundred and sixty

438
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: one yards. That guy is a behemoth. He is a behemoth,

439
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: which gigantic human being. Yeah, he's dka. He can run. Well,

440
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: you saw him. The play of it might be the

441
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: play of the year, you know, the one I'm talking

442
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: at the pick six from Arizona going down the sidelines

443
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, Buddha Bakers pick six. It's going the distances.

444
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: He returns at eighty yards and and he runs a

445
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: four or four. Dk Metcalf ran him down like he

446
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: was a limping puppy. I mean, it's like wild Kingdom.

447
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. Yeah, and not only that, little guys

448
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: like me who played Notice this, he's running him down

449
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: and he's towering over him. Yeah, he's just he looks

450
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: like a big brother running down his little brother who's

451
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: poked him with a stick and then tried to get away. Yeah,

452
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: and he just it doesn't look walks him down. It

453
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: looks like two video game characters. And I'll tell you

454
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: this too. The Cardinals did not score. You want to that,

455
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a coaching clip, that's it.

456
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf runs Buddha Baker down, tackles him inside the

457
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: ten yard line, and the defense of the of the

458
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks holds him out of the end zone. The thing

459
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: that is so crazy for me is Metcalf doesn't look

460
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: like he's straining, do you know what I mean? You know,

461
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: when you're really digging in and running as fast as

462
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: you possibly can and your body is just full tilt

463
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: straining and you can see guys when they're straining. Brude

464
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: Baker was straining. DK Metcalf looked like he was just running,

465
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like he didn't even

466
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: look like he had it. He looks like he was right.

467
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: He looked like he was in a training run. Yeah,

468
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: that's just that's stupid. It's just that doesn't work for me.

469
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: It doesn't, it doesn't. It defies logic. I've watched games,

470
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, I've played in them, and I watched them

471
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: for a long time as a broadcaster. And you stand

472
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, you watch these guys move around and

473
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: do some of the stuff like we're talking about. It's unbelievable. Yeah,

474
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: I mean it. They are. They are. They are set apart,

475
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: and most of those guys are set apart from an

476
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: early age. They're different kind of cats um and they

477
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: start to they start to gravitate towards sports really quickly

478
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: in their lives when they're when they're like that, And

479
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's that's why football is as compelling

480
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: a sport as it is. And they're playing and they're

481
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: playing for keeps too. The intensity is way up and

482
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: it's a it's a physical sport, it is. Plays like

483
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: that are just spell binding. Yeah, It's like it's like

484
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: the Don Beebe play for back in Super Bowl twenty eighth.

485
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: It's it's all of those plays that are just phenomenal

486
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: athletic displays. Uh to catch you for a minute and

487
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, that is bo Jackson. Yeah, yeah, there's

488
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: I go down the list once in a while, there's

489
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: like a handful of guys. They'll look back. Its Dion,

490
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: it's Bo Jackson, It's Eric Dickerson. Barry Bruce is the

491
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: only defensive player I could I could put on that maybe,

492
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: and guys like Charles Woodson maybe or good Ray was

493
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: really good an offensive line. And a guy like uh

494
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: first draft pick of the Ravens ever Jonathan Ogden, who

495
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: was six feet eight inches tall. And what about your

496
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: main curse? Yes, another one. So that guy was mis

497
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: Garrett's the same way m so was the other guy.

498
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: Who's the guy that played for the Packers for the

499
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers of and I can't remember his name. Now,

500
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: there's other guys that are like that. That are Julius Peppers.

501
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: Julius Peppers is a guy like that. Ted Washington was

502
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: a guy like Julius Peppers was playing basketball at North

503
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: Carolina and football. Just think about that for a second.

504
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: You see these guys walking around and they would be athletic. Look,

505
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: they would look like the best athlete in the room

506
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: if they were five nine, let alone six five. Yeah,

507
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's deep. End of the gene pool, very

508
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: very very and it's amazing too that in our culture

509
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: like we have in the United States, where you know,

510
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: you gotta guys get found like that, you don't really

511
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: miss too much. That's why that's why you know, your

512
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: sports soccer they don't get any of those guys in

513
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: in America. Not in this country. Football gets all of

514
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: those guys, you know, and basketball hoops gets them. Um,

515
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: but even baseball is starting not to get those guys.

516
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: You know, they don't have to be quite the you

517
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: don't have to be an outstanding app but even baseball

518
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: you have to be a you have to have the

519
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: acquired skill of hitting. Right. My point at my point

520
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: is this, you know, a guy like that doesn't get

521
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: to maximize those skills when you're in basement. If you've

522
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: got if you can hit, you can be thirty five

523
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: pounds overweight, as we've seen you know so. But but

524
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: in this country, all those freakish athletes go to basketball, football, Yeah,

525
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: and most of them do. And man, when you get

526
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of them together, it's something that's why we Hey, man,

527
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: that's why you buy season tickets. It really is, it

528
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: really is this message brought to you by Steve Tasker.

00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt, who had an interesting soliloquy

539
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: on the Bills finally beating the Patriots here at home

540
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: for the first time since twenty eleven, and had an

541
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: interesting monologue on that. Shall we say so we may

00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: rerack that right before we bring Kyle on in about

543
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: a half hour's time, and then about an hour and

544
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: a half from now, we're gonna get the wily veteran

545
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: ESPN NFL inside of Chris Mortensen, who had an interesting

546
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: tweet last night where he kind of shed some light

547
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: on the NFL sending memos out to the thirty two

548
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: teams that the Competition Committee will be huddling up and

549
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: organizing a contingency plan. In the event that all sixteen

550
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: regular season games cannot be played by all thirty two teams,

551
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: they will undertake a sixteen team playoff type scenario. So

552
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Chris Mortonton about that for some more

553
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: details and where he thinks that may be going. So

554
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: interesting stuff on tap coming up later on in the show.

555
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,680

Speaker 1: our trade deadline countdown clock in the bottom right corner

566
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: the screen for the MSG viewers watching the show there

567
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: on TV. And we want to know from you what

568
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: or who do you wish to acquire to help this

569
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: Bill's roster for the second half of the season and

570
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: an anticipated playoff run eight oh three five fifty line

571
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: open for you there or one eight eight five fifty

572
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: two five fifty. We want to know if the Bills

573
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: are to make a move, what or who do you

574
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: want and why? Or maybe you don't think they're going

575
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: to do anything. Maybe you think they're gonna stand pat

576
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: and let this play out and hope that the group

577
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: gets better in gels in the second half of the season,

578
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: knowing it didn't have a preseason to kind of get there,

579
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: get their stuff in order, so to speak, and truly

580
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: gel and blend as a as a capable unit on

581
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: the offensive line or the defensive line. I think we

582
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: saw the offensive line gain some traction this past week,

583
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: particularly in the running game, as everybody witnessed, and maybe

584
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: they believe that going forward they'll be fine there. But

585
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have concerns on the

586
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, and we're going to turn

587
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet to get our first few answers

588
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: from that. So tweet sheet is always brought to you

589
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

590
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and Charlie leads off today and says

591
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: an effective space eater would be ideal if available, would

592
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: kill two birds with one stone by conceptually improving the

593
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: runde and keeping the linebackers cleaner, which should make them

594
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: more effective. I'm okay with paying a lot if the

595
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: difference really helps us secure the division and make a

596
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: run in the playoffs. You know, Steve, that's a question

597
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: that we probably haven't really entertained here. If they stand

598
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: pat what do you think that says about what the

599
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: front office and the coaching staff thinks of this roster. Well,

600
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: it says one of two things. One they don't have

601
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: the money, or two they like the guys they've got,

602
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: or maybe it's a little bit of both. If they

603
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: think that they can get these guys playing better than

604
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: they have, or that they've got some guys that are

605
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: having trouble picking it up, not being in the right

606
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: spot at the right time, missing assignments, too many mental mistakes.

607
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: That's coaching, and of course the players are responsible for

608
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: learning that stuff. If and but they think they can

609
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: win like that, you know, if those guys were playing better.

610
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: But if they feel like they've got a talent deficit,

611
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: that's different. Then it's got to be money that keeps

612
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: you from doing it right well, or trade or draft

613
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: picks or whatever what have you, salary, cap, draft picks,

614
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: whatever you have to give up to get that guy.

615
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: I've seen an additional theory out there with respect to that.

616
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: If the Bills stand pad, the prevailing opinion that I've

617
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: seen on social media is that means that the front

618
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: office determine that they're not a super Bowl team per se,

619
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: and they don't want to mortgage the future. They want

620
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: to keep building for another year and go for it

621
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: the year after. I'm not buying that you're going for

622
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: it every single year, especially with a roster constructed the

623
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: way this one is. So I don't give a whole

624
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: lot of credence to that theory that I've seen out

625
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: there a couple of times on social media from Jeremy

626
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. With no cap space, I don't

627
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: see a trade for a star player happening. I think

628
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: we just need to continue to trust the process, hope

629
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: that we get starback next season, and go forward from there.

630
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: Maybe the offseason slash draft will hopefully produce a winner,

631
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: as it usually does under this regime. Has that one

632
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: grab you, well, that seems like you're settling, doesn't It

633
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: doesn't It seem like Jeremy's settling a little bit. And

634
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: I see think most a lot of people think, and

635
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: I contend to agree with them, that once you get

636
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you're good enough. If you play your game,

637
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: and you play well, you can beat the teams in

638
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: the tournament. You've proven it to get in there, even

639
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: with seven teams instead of six teams this year. So

640
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: I get that kind of line of thinking. Nobody's thinking

641
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: about next year right now. Done all that in the

642
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: offseason and the guys you sign and getting yourself postured,

643
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: and nobody knows what next year is gonna bring anyway,

644
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have a drop, a reduced cap, and

645
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: the finances and the economics of the league is going

646
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: to be different. So it's hard to plan for anyway.

647
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: Now I think. I think it's all hands on deck,

648
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: and if you think you can improve your football team,

649
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: you do it. You can't, but I'm i'm you have

650
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: parameters about what you can't spend will spend. But if

651
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: if that deal is out there for you to make

652
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: within the parameters of your process, now you gotta pull

653
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: that trigger eight oh three five fifty one eight eight

654
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty to join us. And we're

655
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna lead off on the phones today with Dominic, who's

656
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: calling us from Evans. Dominic, Welcome to the show. What

657
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Hey, guys, first time, long time.

658
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking my call. I just wanted to say,

659
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty nineteen with the draft class

660
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: at Oliver and DK Metcalf, right, if I'm not mistaken,

661
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: it was last year. Yeah, that was last year, right, Yeah, yeah,

662
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: I think I was one of the few Bills fans

663
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: that really wanted DK Metcalf at nine. But um, I

664
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: think to fix that problem with our pass game, I

665
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: really think if we traded like a late round pick

666
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: weightcraft pick for John Ross of SINTI, I think that

667
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: could really work out for us. I'm not really sure,

668
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: who knows. I highly doubt they're going to make a

669
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: move by four o'clock today. What do you think? What

670
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: do you think John Ross would bring to this passing

671
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: game that maybe they don't have right now? You know

672
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: the best part about that deal is you're trading very

673
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: little for a guy who might do very little, but

674
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was really good at Washington back in

675
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: like twenty sixteen if I remember correctly. So I mean

676
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: with a team that could potentially rebuild around Joe Joe Burrow,

677
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: I think they might take that pick or that a trade.

678
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure, but I mean they're paying very little,

679
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 1: potentially get little, but um, it could be a big

680
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: upside trade for US, I think, and I feel like

681
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: if you give Josh Allen more independence, like what Pete

682
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: Carroll does with Russell Wilson, let them have more independence

683
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: with the play calls, I think we could really flourish

684
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: as an offense, pass the ball more, fumble less. I

685
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: don't know, that's my take on that. I really don't

686
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: think we're more of a run offense. I think we

687
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: can really pass the ball. Look to Seahawks with the

688
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: long ball. I really feel like we can flourish. So

689
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: the point I'm trying to get at is if we

690
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: passed the ball more, we can win more games. We

691
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: got a top schedule coming up with the Seahawks, no question.

692
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: So that's my take on that we're already going to

693
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: make the playoffs with that's not really doing too well.

694
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: They don't have too much momentum. But the objective here,

695
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: I guess would be to how can we get deeper

696
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: into the playoffs because I could see us losing out

697
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: in like the divisional round amount exactly. Sure, that's just

698
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: my take on it. Yeah, I mean it's the big

699
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: The perception is, and I kind of go along with

700
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: this perception, is that we've got we're neck deep in

701
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: really good receivers. Uh I. I you know with John Brown,

702
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, Cole Beasley, Gabriel Davis, you got Isaiah Hodgins

703
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: waiting to come in. You've got McKenzie Andre Roberts. They've

704
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: got a receiving cord. That's that's really everything I think

705
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: they want it to be. And when it's healthy, Um,

706
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: trading for a guy like John Ross would be you

707
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: gotta move somebody else out. Yeah, that's you can carry

708
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: seven receivers on your active roster, right, I mean, who

709
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: are you gonna sit down? I mean, who's he going

710
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: to be better than to play the role that you

711
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: would have him play? I mean unless you move somebody

712
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: else off a different common Yeah. And to me, that's

713
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: that would be a trade, just to make a trade.

714
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: To me, John Ross is John Brown. I mean they're

715
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: the same player in terms of size, maybe not even speed,

716
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: and I think John Brown is a better route runner

717
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: quite frankly, um John Ross finally broke out early last season.

718
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: He was putting some monster numbers early in the twenty

719
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: nineteen season. I mean Week one, seven catches for one

720
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight yards. This is when aj Green

721
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: was hurt at the beginning of last year. He comes

722
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: out the next week four catches, one hundred and twelve yards.

723
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: He had three touchdowns in his first two games, and

724
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: then the production scaled back because people started focusing on him.

725
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: There was nobody else to worry about, and his production

726
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: fell off a cliff and then he got hurt, missed

727
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: some games, was out for like ten weeks. And that's

728
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: the other knock on him. Can't stay healthy. He's a

729
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: slight framed burner, that's what he is as a receiver.

730
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: And can he take the top off a defense, no question.

731
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: Can he stay healthy on a consistent basis, that's a

732
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: bit of a question mark. Do you want to trade

733
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: for that? I don't know. I mean the domedick wants

734
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: to do it under the guise of embrace being a

735
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: passing team. That's what won you games the first month

736
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: of the season. Get more of that so you can

737
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: be more of that more often, because we've seen how

738
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: this offense has changed without John Brown in the lineup.

739
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about that. But John

740
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: Ross to me, is a John Brown type. I don't

741
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: know that he gives you anything different, anything extra that

742
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: puts you over the top outside of I guess depth, Yeah,

743
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, but and that's only if

744
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: you think John Ross brings you or can contribute in

745
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: more ways than Isaiah McKenzie or Andre Roberts. And if

746
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: you're and he's any acknowledge, I mean dominic the call

747
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: or acknowledge, it's a it's a small price to pay

748
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: for what could be a really good player. It might

749
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: be a really good player, but you're never gonna get

750
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: him on the field to find out he's not gonna

751
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: be able to correct the active roster. And why are

752
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: you gonna trade for somebody that may not be even

753
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: your fourth guy, Like you're gonna part with assets to

754
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: get a fourth receiver. I don't know, man, that I

755
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: don't know if that that washes with me, all right?

756
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: We have to take a break, but Kevin and Rochester

757
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: Rick and Nashville Hang Tight will get to you when

758
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,120

Speaker 1: you could catch up to one million dollars. Must be

764
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: eighteen years or older to purchase a lottery ticket. With

765
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty one hundred and seventy two passing yards, sixteen touchdowns,

766
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: passing four touchdowns rushing this season, Josh Allen's only the

767
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: third quarterback in NFL history with twenty one seventy plus

768
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: in terms of passing yards, sixteen plus passing touchdowns, and

769
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: four or more rushing touchdowns in a season's first eight games.

770
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: The other two people, Steve Young and Deshaun Watson. Pretty

771
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: elite company there. So what do you think of that one? Impressed?

772
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: Kind of impressed. It's a short list, a very shortlist,

773
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: and one of them is a Hall of Famer, so

774
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah, the other one was the playoffs

775
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: last year. And that's uh, yeah, he's hitting on a

776
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: lot of selling inductive, that's you know, he's playing the

777
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: way we hoped you play. I mean right, we talked

778
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: about it all off season. He's he got off to

779
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: a fantastic start to the season and you know, you

780
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: figure it's not going to be all you know, rainbows

781
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: and sprinkles, h And it hasn't been in the last month.

782
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: But you know, he threw for three h three hundred

783
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: last week, uh as well, so you know that he's

784
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: playing well. This is a team that can come do

785
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: some things offensively, and Josh is a big part of

786
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: the reason. No question that Steph Diggs has added something

787
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 1: that h that it was even better than was advertised

788
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 1: for most of us. And h the offense is clicking.

789
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch, and yeah, his numbers are

790
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: saying it. That's pretty elite company and it's a pretty

791
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: short list he's on. It's your opportunity to be a

792
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: GM for today for the Bills. So if you think

793
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: they need to make a move, who or what would

794
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: you do? And why we're gonna lead off with Rick

795
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: here in Nashville. He was holding the longest so we

796
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: go to Rick, Rick, what do you have for us?

797
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. A couple of things, if you'll

798
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: allow me. I think if they get Brown and knocks back,

799
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: you'll see the offense go a little bit. It's hard

800
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: to take a thousand yard guy out of the lineup

801
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: and expect you know, we're not going to miss him.

802
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: Plus your most athletic tight end, who's a matchup problem.

803
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: But as far as grabbing a player, if they could

804
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: find someone who's a one technique knows they gotta go

805
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: get him. Now, if you look at the team, Washington

806
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 1: highly regarded it as a positional coach. Leslie Frasier all

807
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: the respect in the world's league wide obviously, Sean McDermott

808
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: again well respected, and all three, all three of these

809
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: guys can't get three gates, can't get it together. Even

810
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: slow people down helps me. The players aren't there, especially

811
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: obviously in the nose, and it affects our linebacker play.

812
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: We can't get any type of push, affects the pass rush.

813
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: We can go find that guy. Everything short of a

814
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: one I think I give it up to get them. Okay,

815
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. That defensive tackle is the

816
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: position that I think would be priority number one here,

817
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: not only because they need somebody in that spot, but

818
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: because of the trickle down effect that effectively plugging that

819
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: hole would do. There's there are secondary and tertiary benefits

820
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: from the obvious benefit of you know, getting somebody in

821
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: there that can tie up two offensive linemen and keep

822
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: your linebackers clean, and you know, maybe get more one

823
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: on one opportunities for your pass rushers to help the

824
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: guys on the back end as well. If there's a

825
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: domino of beneficial effects here that that can happen if

826
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: you get the right one technique on this. Yeah, and

827
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and so did Leslie Frasier's you know, they

828
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: kind of went to bat as and it could be

829
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: just coach speak. I know that, you know, they've got

830
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: to coach these guys, and they like their guys in

831
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: their locker room. But they've said they liked the guys

832
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: in their building and they think they can win with them,

833
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: but they've got to play a little bit more mistake free. Now,

834
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: if that's true, then that is on the coaches. But

835
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: we've seen this coaching staff get a lot out of

836
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, get a lot out of

837
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: their roster in years past, and if they can't get

838
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: enough out of this roster, I would point the finger

839
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: at the roster, not the coaching staff. That's me. This

840
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: is a proven coaching staff who's who's gotten a lot

841
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 1: out of these guys over the last three years. And

842
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: and you would expect a higher level of play than

843
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: where you're getting. And if you know, and I'm sure

844
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: that Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott have had, you know,

845
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: very unfiltered conversations about why things are happening for their

846
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 1: defense the way they are and the answers to those

847
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, the answers to those conversations may be a

848
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: trade today or it maybe it is what it is.

849
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: We gotta go and try and win games as best

850
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: we can with the roster we have given our financial

851
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: constraints of the cap and the market that's out there

852
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: for the guys that are available. Back to the phones

853
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: to Kevin and Rochester, we go, Kevin, what do you

854
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: have for us? Welcome to the show. How you guys

855
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: doing good? I was just calling because personally I just

856
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: thought like, Uh, if we can't get who we want,

857
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: I understand we just stay packed. I mean, I feel

858
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: like our our coaches do a great job of scheming

859
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: up things a lot of the time to cover for

860
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,479
Speaker 1: our deficiencies. So if we can't get who we really want,

861
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to waste money or draft picks on

862
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: somebody that Willie is not going to have an impact.

863
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: And with that being said, I was looking at a

864
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: guy like Thomason because I watched him last night on

865
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 1: the Giants game. Man. I mean, I mean, I remember

866
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: when play was third and one and it was late

867
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: in the game and any years stopping. He uh shredded

868
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: the inside block and got to the running backs and

869
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: he stood all night and I was like really watching him.

870
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: So I was looking at him. Obviously. I know that's

871
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: a big name, but I also know dons Harry Poe

872
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: is on the street. I don't know where he gotten

873
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: tank or how he will fit in the system, but

874
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: that's the name where I'm familiar with. So I'll just

875
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: leave it up you guys, And thanks for letting call. Yeah,

876
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, Kevin. I think an interesting element

877
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: to this that we hadn't considered because people keep throwing

878
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: around the name Dalvin Thomlinson including us. He may not

879
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: be available, Like the phone call may have already been

880
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: made and dave Yentleman might have said, yeah, not moving him,

881
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: but thanks, or ask for something outlandish and it's just

882
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: like for a rental. I'm not giving up that kind

883
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: of right because he's in the last year of his

884
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: contract and you don't know if he's going to be

885
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: able to be a priority next year. Know when you

886
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: have a star under contract and coming back in twenty

887
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 1: twenty one, So he may not even be available at

888
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: least in terms of the reasonable price that the Bills

889
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,479
Speaker 1: or any other team might be willing to pay. As

890
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: far as you know, not panicking and getting somebody you

891
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: don't want, I don't worry about that. Bean doesn't settle.

892
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: He either gets who he wants or he moves on.

893
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't settle for a lesser player. If he can't

894
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: get the guy he absolutely wants, that's just not his

895
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: m The other thing I wanted to bring up and quickly,

896
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: because we're tight on time here before we get to

897
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Branton about five minutes is I thought that Harrison

898
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: Phillips played probably his best game since he returned from

899
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: the knee injury on Sunday, and if you look at

900
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: the playtime percentage, he got more snaps than anyone else

901
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. And I think, and coach Fraser

902
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: addressed this when he was made available to the media yesterday,

903
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: he earned those extra snaps. Now, I don't think Phillips

904
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: is all the way back just yet, but I think

905
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: Sunday demonstrated that he's on his way, and if he

906
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: can kind of continue on that path, the answer to

907
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: the one technique spot might be on the roster, because

908
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: I think people forget he was playing really good football

909
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: at the start of last season before he tore his

910
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: ACL in Week three, and if he can get back

911
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: to that, they may have that guy right on their

912
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: roster right now. Yeah, certainly, Like I said before, the

913
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: coaching staff has been high on what they've got in

914
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: the building already. But they do have new faces, four

915
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: of them in fact, on the defensive line if you well,

916
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: if you count, yeah, four of them. So and it

917
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: changes as well. The I can't remember, I can't remember

918
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: the guy's name who played a lot of snaps the

919
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: other day, seven or eight snaps, Brandon Brandon Bryant was

920
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: in there. I mean, they've tried guy. They're trying a

921
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: lot of guys, Justin Zimmer, Brandon Bryant, h Harrison Phillips,

922
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup. They they're trying everything

923
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: they can to get this thing straightened out. And I

924
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: would I would say they're going to continue that even

925
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 1: though they're at times have started to play a little better.

926
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: They're going to try and maximize those and start to

927
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: evolve into something better than what they've been in the

928
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: first half. All Right, we have to take a break,

929
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: but and we return. It is Good Morning Football's Kyle

930
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 1: Brant making his weekly appearance with us. Don't you dare

931
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: miss it. He's got some Bills related nuggets for you

932
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's

933
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Hello, Bills Radio Network Sports Date, your

934
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: sports update from One Bill's Drive. Bill Center. Mitch Morris

935
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: officially placed in the concussion protocol after suffering the fifth

936
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: documented concussion of his career, and Sundays went over the Patriots.

937
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: John Feliciano came on in relief in the pivot in

938
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: his first game back this season. Buffalo also signed free

939
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: agent linebacker Darren Lead to their practice squad yesterday. Former

940
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: first round pick played sixteen games, making two starts for

941
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs last season. The Bills return to the practice

942
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: field tomorrow. We'll have the latest as the team prepares

943
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: for the six and one Seahawks Sunday here at Bill's Stadium.

944
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: NFL trade deadline approaching this afternoon at four pm. One

945
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: name that has been rumored to be on the trade

946
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: block is reigning AFC Defensive Player of the Year Stefan Gilmore.

947
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 1: Reports from ESPN today are that multiple teams have called

948
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots about Gilmore, and we're told that the price

949
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: to acquire him would be a first round pick and

950
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: a player in return. Last night, the league wrapped up

951
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: Week eight, the Bucks narrowly escaping in a victory over

952
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: the Giants twenty five twenty three on a Giants miss

953
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: two point conversion. The controversial call, in which the officials

954
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: initially threw the flag on would look to be past interference,

955
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: but at a quick caucus and then ultimately gamed, there

956
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: was no penalty. Giants falls to one and seven and

957
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: the Bucks improved to six and two on the season,

958
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: and could the NFL possibly turn to a sixteen team

959
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: postseason In twenty twenty. It's a question that arose from

960
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: a report by ESPN's Chris Mortensoner. We'll talk to him

961
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: about an hour one plan making up any and all

962
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: postponed games due to COVID nineteen would consist of adding

963
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: an eighteenth week to the regular season and a total

964
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: of sixteen playoff teams. That is your sports update here

965
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: at one Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker broadcasting from

966
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park, and we'll be

967
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 1: bringing in one Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt, who gave

968
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: a very impressive tip of the cap to the long

969
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: list of Bill's alumni who endured the innumerable gut wrenching

970
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: defeats at the hands of the Patriots earlier this week.

971
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe the Bills beat the Patriots. We've been

972
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,439
Speaker 1: waiting for this for years, and this league is about

973
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: matchups and superstar matchups, and the matchup that determined this

974
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: one was number one overall pick former MVP Cam Newton

975
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: from Auburn versus Ferris State product Justin Zimmer of the

976
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and guests who won. Justin Zimmer, a fifty

977
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 1: year guy who's bounced around and makes the biggest play

978
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: of the season for the Bills. You know what this

979
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: is for all these Buffalo Bills team who have been

980
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: under the boot of Bill Belichicks for years. This is

981
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: for Eric Wood, for Marcel Darius, for Paul puzz Lesnie,

982
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: for Kyle Williams, all of these great Fred Jackson, for

983
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson number twenty two. Wherever you are, Freddie, all

984
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: those setbacks against New England. I know you couldn't be

985
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: part of this one, but Justin Zimmer made sure to

986
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: put a smile on your face as well as the

987
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: faces of everyone in Western New York against the evil

988
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick empire that has dominated them. Justin Zimmer the

989
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: guy to do. Not even Josh Allen, not Stefana. It

990
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,240
Speaker 1: was Zimmer in the biggest moment. Couldn't be prouder. Bills

991
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: in the Driver received the FC East first time in

992
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Justin Zimmer has never gotten more exposure

993
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: than he did in those two minutes on Good Morning Football. Kyle,

994
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: how are you? And well done? And I don't know

995
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: if Zimmer's online too asking if you could be as publicist,

996
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: but I'm assuming the call is coming. The sun is

997
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 1: shining a little bit brighter today. The birds are chirping

998
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: a little louder. And it has nothing to do with

999
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: the election. It has to do with the fall all

1000
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots at the hands of the

1001
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Guys. I was pretty pleased about that one.

1002
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: Often when I come on the show with you here,

1003
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: you will play a sound or eclipton Good Morning Football,

1004
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: and it's me with my head exploding with some crazy

1005
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: cacophony of angry runs this and angry runs that, and

1006
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't even recognize myself this one, this address about

1007
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: being out from under the boot of God, Belichick, I do.

1008
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm proud of it. I own it, and I'm happy

1009
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: to share any kind of publicity with Justin zimmer and

1010
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: Ferrest State, which, Chris, I'm gonna put you on the

1011
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: spot right now. Can you name what state Ferres State

1012
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: is in America? I want to say Michigan, but I

1013
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: don't know if that's right. Not only is it right,

1014
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,240
Speaker 1: it's exactly right, Michigan. It's in the Grand Rapids area

1015
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: of Michigan. Ferrest State. You can nailed it, and may

1016
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: God bless them alter. Yeah, I'll tell you and you know,

1017
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: for Bill's face, you would think the actual way that

1018
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: you want to beat Patriots. You want to beat him

1019
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: fifty to nothing, you know, a million to nothing. You

1020
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 1: want to you want to blow it out of the water.

1021
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: But in some ways this was a little po because

1022
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: so many games where the Patriots were going in to

1023
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: score winning touchdown, it looked like and you could just

1024
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 1: see the tsunami coming, and it was just you couldn't

1025
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: get out of the way. And to have the Bills

1026
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: win a game the way they did against the Patriots

1027
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday, when you can think back to more than

1028
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: a handful of games exactly like that handful, how about

1029
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: a library. The Bills couldn't win those games against the Patriots.

1030
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: It just never happened. Every single matchup was close, and

1031
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: every single matchup of the Patriots walked out with a win.

1032
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: And this one, a last ditch effort by a kid

1033
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: just playing smart and playing hard turns into the turnover

1034
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: that ice the game for the Bills. It was there

1035
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 1: was a little bit, if not a lot, of poetic

1036
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,439
Speaker 1: justice in that. I thought it was fantastic because I'm

1037
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: totally with you, Steve, it's the roles are supposed to

1038
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: be reversed on that, and it's the Bills are trying

1039
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: to drive for this winning score and oh my goodness,

1040
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: could they do it? And some guy you've never heard

1041
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: of on the Patriots and Belichick plucked out of obscurity,

1042
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: is gonna make a play, and you name it. It's

1043
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a JP Lossman fumble, a tren Edwards fumble

1044
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: and EJ manual fumble it just and Nathan Peterman. It

1045
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: could be anybody. It wasn't any of those gentlemen. And

1046
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: it was so great because after we shouted out people

1047
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: like Eric Wood or Fred Jackson, they came out on

1048
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: Twitter and said, yes, yes, we do share in this

1049
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: and we love it, and they were just as excited.

1050
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: It was just it was an amazing time of change

1051
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: right now in the AFC. To watch the MVP that

1052
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: Belichick takes and puts in the saddle, who's gonna lay

1053
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: waste to the division again, fumble it and mess up?

1054
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: And why because he doesn't switch the ball to his

1055
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: outside arm. And Justin Zemer come in then and says, no, no, no,

1056
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: I'm taking this thing. I thought it was beautiful. I

1057
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: don't root for the Bills I'm not a Bills fan.

1058
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm very clear on that. But I like turnover, I

1059
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: like change, and we got a big, big wind of

1060
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: it on Sunday. It was really cool. Do you think

1061
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots have any hope or confidence that they can

1062
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: get back into it? Put it together, give it together

1063
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: a run? What do you think it this season holds

1064
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: for the Patriots? A couple of things. First of all,

1065
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: I think tomorrow we'll be able to have this conversation

1066
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: a lot clearer because we're gonna know did they do anything?

1067
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: I love that you guys here on the screen, here

1068
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: you have the fully produced trade deadline tracker, which et

1069
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: Mark reads two hours, forty seven minutes and twenty seconds.

1070
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: So never lend tomorrow. In three hours, you may know

1071
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: a lot about the Patriots. I know Gilmore, his name

1072
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: has been out there, and I know Gilmore is a

1073
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: name extremely familiar to Buffalo Bill's fans. Here's my take

1074
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: on the trade deadline. There are three types. People think

1075
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: there's two types. There's three. There's buyers, they're sellers, and

1076
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: they're suckers. And there's always a team who tries to

1077
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: make a splash, who tries to make its fan base

1078
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: happy and goes for a big, shiny, expensive item that

1079
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: either they don't need, can afford, or isn't as good

1080
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 1: as he's cracked up to be. Gilmore is a very

1081
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: flashy name. Why do you see the raining defensive player

1082
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 1: of the year out there potentially on the market. If

1083
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: a team grabs him, I think they'll be over paying it.

1084
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: I put some time in this morning before Good Morning Football.

1085
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: All of Gilmore's measurables are down, if you believe in

1086
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: all the analytics, the PFF stuff. All his completion percentage

1087
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: is down, all his length of completion is down. Someone

1088
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: goes and pays that price that you quoted Chris coming

1089
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: into this about a first rounder and a player, I

1090
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: think it will be buyer's remorse. I think he is

1091
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: not worth It doesn't mean I think it's gonna happen,

1092
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: because sometimes these teams get hitches. We gotta win a championship.

1093
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: We gotta win a championship. I look at somebody like Seattle.

1094
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: Seattle is a very good team with a very bad defense,

1095
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: who has a Super Bowl shot and loves a good secondary.

1096
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: They're type of team I could say, screw it, let's

1097
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: go for Gilmore. I don't know if it's gonna happen,

1098
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: but I bet that's gonna be one of those guys

1099
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: that is very, very attractive. My cohort Peter Strager on

1100
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football this morning. He floated a really juicy

1101
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: theory that he's won and if jj Watt could move

1102
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: jj Watt again, a guy who is on the back

1103
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: nine of his career, who people want to bring in,

1104
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: a pass rusher who he thinks maybe he could go

1105
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: somewhere else and win a title. I don't know if

1106
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: this is happening or not, but I know we have

1107
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: two hours forty five minutes. Those are some big names.

1108
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: The numbers, though, are so fat for what and knowing

1109
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: that you know and you don't even have to keep

1110
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: anybody here beyond you know this season. I guess, I

1111
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: guess you're looking at rentals to a large degree, but

1112
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that you have any team that could

1113
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: fit seventeen and a half million, even on a pro

1114
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: rated basis, for what under their cat. Maybe there's a

1115
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: couple of examples that I'm not aware of, but my god,

1116
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a fat number. Gilmore, though, The interesting

1117
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: thing about him, Kyle, and we heard this from some

1118
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: of our Boston colleagues was he's got his house on

1119
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: Zillo and it's said on there it had to be

1120
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: sold by November third. I was like, OK, what this is?

1121
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: So like? This is how deep in the weeds the

1122
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: Boston media is trying to read the tea leaves well

1123
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: on if Gilmore is going anywhere? Right? Yeah, that's the

1124
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: trade deadline still listings. Now, Chris, don't don't lie about this.

1125
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: Did you click through the slide show how's this house? Look?

1126
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: What do we do? I did not. I didn't. I

1127
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: know there's a full blown security system. You know, if

1128
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: you need cameras, he's probably got about fifty of them.

1129
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, beyond that note and a white, a lot

1130
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: of white in the kitchen. Sure can't. And also this

1131
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: thing we're talking about JJ Watt. If and now listen,

1132
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans haven't been around that long with twenty

1133
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: twenty years, twenty five years. He is the face on

1134
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: their Mountain Rushmore. That's it. It's him and Bob McNair, Andre,

1135
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson and John Okay, there's three. The first owner,

1136
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, JJ Watt, he's a mount Rushmore. Yes, you

1137
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: don't trade, Yes, you don't trade, you know, Oh you

1138
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: trade everybody. Oh, everybody's trade the guy who who rose,

1139
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: who raised twenty seven million for hurricane relief. You're gonna

1140
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: like kick him to the curve. But I understand. I mean,

1141
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: he's been through it all. He's had no success in

1142
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. One more run land somewhere wild like HUC says,

1143
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: screw it, We're gonna get a super Bowl like Green

1144
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: Bay or anybody like that. I hear was JJ Watt

1145
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: is the Houston in a lot of ways team. He's

1146
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: sort of the face of Houston, like the city, not

1147
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: even the team. He's the face of Houston. And yet

1148
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: how long has he been there? And he's you know,

1149
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: he's a million done a million things, but just not

1150
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: a lot of winning. Now the coach has gone, they

1151
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: don't seem to be going anywhere. If I'm JJ Watt,

1152
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm thirsty four it too. He's had a hard d

1153
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 1: at hard time staying healthy as well. So Will Fuller

1154
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: is another name down there that's getting Bandy to bounce,

1155
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: saying maybe green Bay for him. But I'm surprised green

1156
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: Bay isn't looking for defensive help. They're soft on defense.

1157
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: They can't stop anybody supple soft. And let's here's the

1158
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: thing about green Bay that's fascinating. After what just happened

1159
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: to them last week against Dalvin Cook, Now they got

1160
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: to turn around on a short week on Thursday night

1161
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: and play San Francisco and you're gonna say, oh, well,

1162
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: everybody in San Francisco's injured? Who cares? I mean, did

1163
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: you see what they did to green Bay twice last year?

1164
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: It was unkind It was like they absolutely made a

1165
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: felony beating on them. So if green Bay goes Thursday

1166
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: Night and loses to the Fox Niners like the Dollar

1167
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: Score Niners, then they have a complete employe in which

1168
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: they've lost three or four and Aaron Rodgers is gonna

1169
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: get gone and Thursday game, Yeah, and the Packers are

1170
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: down a few players from COVID now too, they may

1171
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: not have or four players either. Are they gonna Are

1172
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: they gonna get more heat? The Packers I'm talking about,

1173
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Are they gonna get more heat for drafting a quarterback

1174
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 1: number one rather than giving Aaron Rodgers more help? Now

1175
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: that they've got a chance and Aaron Rodgers is all

1176
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: of this and now they've got this big asset who's

1177
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: just sitting on the on the bench and now you

1178
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: can't get on the field. What what are they gonna

1179
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: do about that? Are they gonna get punished for that? Steve,

1180
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. I feel really passionate about this,

1181
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try not to talk in hyperbole. I

1182
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: think that the Jordan Love first round pick was one

1183
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: of the strangest picks in the history of the draft.

1184
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: And I really mean that. You have a team that

1185
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: is in the title game, that is one or two

1186
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: players away. You have a receiver rich draft, you have

1187
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: good linebackers that they're there. The Packers decided to make

1188
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: no investment in the twenty twenty season. They decided to say,

1189
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: you know what, we have Aaron Rodgers, we're in the

1190
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: title game. Let's make the twenty twenty three Packers really

1191
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: good and move up to draft a project quarterback who

1192
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: led the NFL in interceptions. And now you look at

1193
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: this and what they could have done. If the Green

1194
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Bay Packers had Patrick Queen from the Ravens, Dalvin Cook

1195
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: is not running for five hundred yards on them. If

1196
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: they had Chase Claypool from the Steelers, who they could

1197
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: have had There's a million things they could have done,

1198
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: and yet they said, let's invest in the future. And

1199
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: there's a price to pay for that. That is the

1200
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: bed they made and they're sleeping in it, and its

1201
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: lumpy as hell. The Buccaneers kicked their butts. The Vikings

1202
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: just did it. This is gonna be like every other

1203
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers team we've seen for fifteen years. Great record

1204
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: at eleven and five, twelve and four, maybe win a

1205
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: playoff game, and then get creamed in the next round.

1206
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: They're not there. Okay, then what about what about the

1207
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks who the Bills are playing this week? Obviously it's

1208
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: a high flying offense. I mean, my god. Their third

1209
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: in total offense, I think, their first in scoring offense

1210
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: thirty four points a game. They throw the ball more

1211
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: than anybody else sixty five percent of the time, and

1212
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: they haven't been shy about augmenting. Their defense has had

1213
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: trouble stopping people. You got Jamal Adams, they just get

1214
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap last week. I mean, this is a team

1215
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: that is loaded for bear and unquestionably going for it

1216
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: this year. Right now, let's go. They're incredible. I'm on

1217
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: rocker though, right now, I don't think they can win

1218
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: the super Bowl with this defense. I know Russ is amazing,

1219
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: and the DK and Metcalf experience is really the best

1220
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: show in the NFL right now. The defense is terrible.

1221
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's really bad. Jamal Adams. It's easy for

1222
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: us to forget because in the first couple of weeks

1223
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: seems like years ago he was spectacular. I mean, he

1224
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: looked like he could be the defensive player of the year.

1225
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: They need him back bad because the defense. I don't

1226
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: care how good Russ is, they'll lose forty one to

1227
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: thirty eight in the playoffs like this, I just have

1228
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: to point out those we're running some DK Metcalf. I mean,

1229
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: this person is an alien, and I know we say

1230
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: that every few years about someone. It just makes me

1231
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: laugh so much at the draft process because all of

1232
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,959
Speaker 1: the chatter was, yeah, it is hips are a little

1233
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: Kai high coming out of his breaks. He's not really

1234
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: a a polished route runner, and now he looks like

1235
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: a combination of Calvin Johnson and Terrell Owens. It is

1236
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,439
Speaker 1: a laugh out loud show with him every single week.

1237
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 1: And the craziest part is he's twenty two years old.

1238
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: He's just getting started. He's gonna be way better in

1239
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: two or three years. It's nuts. But their defense, I

1240
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: don't know even then. I don't even with DK, I

1241
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: don't think they can keep up. One thing I want

1242
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: to ask you about from around the NFL to have

1243
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: got a chance to play. He won his opener, Well,

1244
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: his team won his opener, right was there? What do

1245
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: you make of that? I thought it was the right move.

1246
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: We've talked about this before. I love that they switched

1247
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: for Fitzpatrick to Tah And now everyone this week wants

1248
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: to say, well, what's what's our letter grade for Tah?

1249
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Do we give him an A? Do we give him

1250
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,959
Speaker 1: a seat? It's like you give him the old eye.

1251
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: They can complete like he didn't really have to do

1252
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: anything all of a sudden punt return touchdown. They got

1253
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: a dude named Van Dinkl who had a defensive touchdown.

1254
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: He was the the Dolphins equivalent of Zimmer from Faires State. Too.

1255
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Made a good throw. He took a couple of hits.

1256
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: And I have no idea if he's good or not.

1257
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know if the Dolphins do either. But

1258
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: I've said this before. The Bill's Kingdom right now. It's

1259
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: a strange time to be alive. You just dealt with

1260
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots and you think, oh, let's rejoice and uncorked

1261
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: the good stuff. I don't know, like the Brian Flores

1262
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins are fearless, talented young. Their defense isn't like a

1263
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: top five group in the league. Like and I correct

1264
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, Guys, dude, the Bills not play

1265
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins like Week seventeen. Is not that they get

1266
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: them again the last one before the plast that could

1267
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: be wild could be wild. We know that you watch

1268
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: and carefully scout your award winners four angry runs. We

1269
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: all watch the Derek Harry stiff arm of Josh Norman

1270
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: in week five. You might be right up there with

1271
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: your own stiff arm as you sit in your home

1272
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,919
Speaker 1: with your six year old. And we've all been there

1273
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: during Zoom. I'm gonna I'm just gonna sit here and

1274
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: say it's okay, give him some exposure. Let's let's let's

1275
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: get the guy in the shot here. I mean, why not?

1276
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Who is it? It's it's the guy or it's the girl.

1277
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: This is okay? She say hi, say hello. She is

1278
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: a wonderful smile. Hi. Can you say hi to Chris

1279
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: and Steve Y? Yeah? Maybe not now. She doesn't want

1280
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to play um. She wants to be

1281
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: on camera until you put her. And this is her

1282
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,760

Speaker 1: first of all, first things, first, guys, you know this

1297
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: the next two hours, thirty six minutes, and thirty seconds

1298
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: is the thing clocks down. I used to watch a

1299
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 1: lot of twenty four with some of the clock, right.

1300
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:21,639

01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: up there with Cooper trying to sing from blowing up

1302

Speaker 1: then um listen, I want to see how this AFC

1304
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 1: shakes out. I don't want to wait until the last

1305
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: day of the season if the Bills really are gonna

1306
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 1: win this thing, if they're in the driver's seat, as

1307
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: we know, you can go out strain very quickly. But

1308
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: I sent twelves and four to begin the season to

1309
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty Buffalo Bills, and I don't care. I'm

1310
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 1: sticking through it. I was sticking a man on my

1349
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:57,759
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Second half of a Tuesday trade deadline

1350
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: edition of One Bills Live. It's that time in the

1351
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: show also because this week's three frunch time play of

1352
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: the game didn't run with it. Let side get a

1353
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 1: good yardage, No ball comes out, loose ball. Who's got it?

1354
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 1: The Bills may have it? It is Cam Newton fumbled

1355
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: at the twelve yard line and the Bill freck cover

1356
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 1: like Marlow in the bottom of the pile, comes up

1357
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: with the football. That is the game. Zimmer got the strip,

1358
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: I believe in the Bill comes up with the football. Yeah,

1359
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: so we had a late slide of the line um

1360
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 1: and then he just ran it outside away. For me,

1361
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 1: I was just hustling down the line, and I saw

1362
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: um kind of like a pile of our guys, and

1363
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: I ran over the top of it just as I

1364
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: could see him about to cut it up. So it

1365
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: was kind of perfect timing that right as he cut

1366
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: through the hole, I was running full speed sideways at him,

1367
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 1: and I just took a punch at the ball and

1368
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 1: knocked it out. I wasn't one hundred percent of shure

1369
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: I knocked it out. So as soon as I turned

1370
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: around and saw that I did get it out, I

1371
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: think I was just so happy, Um that I made

1372
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 1: a big play for this team. That's the freed Tola

1373
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 1: crunch time. Play the game. Justin Zimmer, it's crunch time.

1374
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: Bills fans, don't forget the chips. And with that, I'm

1375
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: getting a little hungry, Steve talking about chips and stuff.

1376
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 1: So why don't we do some lunch. We haven't done

1377
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 1: it in a while. What's for lunch, Steve? What do

1378
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: you say? All right? Let's go, all right, let's see

1379
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,759
Speaker 1: what's on the menu today for you to choose from.

1380
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm ready as we begin with a quarterback choice, better

1381
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 1: quarterback right now, Steve, Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. That's

1382
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: a really good question. I think I would take Russell

1383
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: right now because of his ability to win from the

1384
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 1: pocket and to extend plays. Now, Rogers is I mean

1385
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: you're talking. I mean, I don't care. Rogers can do

1386
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: that too, talking about superstars who wear a different colored jersey.

1387
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna say Russell just because of he's

1388
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: put up the numbers so far. Yeah, I gotta go

1389
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 1: with Wilson here. He's clearly the leader in the MVP race.

1390
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: Had a hic up against Arizona two weeks ago with

1391
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: the three picks. He's got six interceptions on the season

1392
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: and he's thrown the ball two hundred and fifty six times.

1393
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty good. He leads the league in

1394
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: passer rating and almost one twenty one, you know, six wins,

1395
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: one loss, and he's playing with a worst defense than

1396
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He's got the worst defense in the league.

1397
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 1: They're thirty second in total defense. And he's doing this.

1398
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: So you want to talk about somebody that's carrying their team,

1399
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 1: he is doing it, maybe to a greater degree than

1400
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: anybody else. So I'm letting Russ cook too, And like

1401
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,679
Speaker 1: both of them, man They're both consistent. They play good

1402
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: every week. You said he had the three touch the

1403
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: three pick game. Yeah, but and Aaron had his hic

1404
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: up against Tampa Bay. Right, They're just getting it done.

1405
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: So both those guys are phenomenal. I'll just pick Russ

1406
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: just because he's having the best numbers season. Okay, So

1407
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: let's take this quarterback discussion a step further. Better quarterback

1408
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: situation the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes or the Seahawks and

1409
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. No, I'll take Mahomes in this one. Andy

1410
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: Reid and that offense and all those guys around him,

1411
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 1: in the vibe they've got coming out of that locker room,

1412
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: coming off a world championship, trying and a better fel

1413
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 1: I just think it's a better situation for him. With

1414
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: the head coach who's the play caller. Pete Carroll's a

1415
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: great leader, runs a great program. But Andy Reid is

1416
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,520
Speaker 1: When Andy Reid is your head coach and you're the quarterback,

1417
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: that's a better situation. And I still maintain that the

1418
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs have one of the fastest collection of skill position

1419
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: players in the league. Still, even after everybody this past

1420
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: offseason tried to copycat him and add speed to their

1421
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 1: respective offensive arsenals. They're still the fastest. I don't know

1422
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: what it is Tyreek Hill, he just looks faster than

1423
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 1: everybody else. Like you know, you have some guys that

1424
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: are running and they don't look like they're running super fast.

1425
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: You call him striders or whatever. When Tyreek Hill runs,

1426
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: he literally looks like the grass is going to burst

1427
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 1: into flames if he runs any faster. It's just I

1428
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: don't I can't explain him and his speed because he's

1429
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: such a tightly wound athlete. He's unbelievable how fast he is.

1430
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: But yes, I would go with Mahomes as well, although

1431
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson claims he's gonna play until he's forty five. Steve,

1432
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: did you see that right up? Yeah? He apparently invests

1433
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 1: a million dollars a year in his body, which when

1434
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:37,839
Speaker 1: you're making thirty one a year, it really doesn't mean anything.

1435
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: So what's one million? Nothing? It's not nothing, but for

1436
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: a guy who makes thirty one million a year, it's

1437
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: not a huge deal. But he's got like two hyperbaric chambers.

1438
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:53,839
Speaker 1: He's got like a nutritionist, two chefs, an exercise performance team.

1439
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's kind of going the way Lebron James does.

1440
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet on Father Time is being undefeated. That's

1441
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna bet on. I'm gonna thirty one. Now,

1442
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: that's fourteen moreteen more seasons. He doesn't get. He doesn't

1443
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: take a lot of giant hits. He has been sacked

1444
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: twenty six times this year, which kind of surprised me.

1445
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,679
Speaker 1: But they pass more than anybody else, So that number

1446
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be up. Fourteen more years is a

1447
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: lot of that's a lot of time. Nope. I don't

1448
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 1: know if that arm is gonna last. Nope, you don't

1449
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 1: think so, Nope. How far do you think he gets?

1450
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: Do you think he gets to forty more seasons? He might?

1451
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: I think forty is doable. Forty he can do. Yeah,

1452
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: but even when you get to thirty eight, it's like, oh,

1453
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: and you're talking about seven years after that. Another quarterback

1454
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 1: question for you, Steve, Does Ryan Fitzpatrick start another game

1455
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL before his career is over? Yes? Or no?

1456
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes. Forget what I said about Father Time.

1457
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: What is fits now? Thirty six? I think he's thirty six?

1458
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: Thirty six now? He might be thirty eight, might be

1459
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: like you discuss, it might be Philip rivers Old. But

1460
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: I think he does start another game, and I think

1461
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 1: it's actually he's gonna start another game this season. I

1462
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: think it'll be for the Dolphins. I think for some reason,

1463
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: whether two has got a twisted ankle or whatever, hang nail,

1464
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: fitzwill see will start another game. He turns thirty eight

1465
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: and three weeks. Yeah, I think he's gonna start due

1466
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 1: to injury. I don't think he's gonna start because someone's like, well,

1467
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: let's just go with this guy until we get it

1468
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: figured right. But that's the question is I think he

1469
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: will start another another and I think it'll be this year. Yeah.

1470
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,639
Speaker 1: I don't think two is if TWA plays a lot,

1471
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: even if they set up a rhythm passing game, you know,

1472
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 1: one two three ball out, one two three four five

1473
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 1: ball out, Right, there's gonna be a scenario there where

1474
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna get the tar beat out

1475
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: of him and he's gonna get hurt because he's just

1476
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:53,440
Speaker 1: not a big dude. He's just not big. It concerns

1477
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: me and if I was a GM in this league

1478
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: as great a talent as he was. That would concern

1479
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: me too, and I'd probably mark him down lower because

1480
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 1: of it. Okay, fair enough, I think yeah, I said,

1481
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: I think he'll start another game too. Who is more

1482
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 1: likely to be a starting quarterback again? Mitchie Biscuits in

1483
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: Chicago or Dwayne Haskins, who is rumored to be on

1484
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: the trade block by the Washington football team today. Who

1485
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: starts first? Who is more likely to be a starting

1486
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 1: quarterback again? Actually is the question? I think Mitch Trubisky.

1487
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: I do too, And it could happen in like a

1488
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: week er. Yeah right, because Foles is not lightening it up.

1489
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 1: That was not pretty at the end of that game

1490
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: last and I think that's the reason. Uh yeah, I

1491
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: think Trubisky will. Dwayne Haskins is entering some like Ryan

1492
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 1: Leaf DeMarcus Russell kind of territory here where well he

1493
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: doesn't he has not acquitted himself well, I think within

1494
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 1: the building in Washington. Not that he's a bad guy. Now,

1495
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: it might be a great guy. I was gonna say,

1496
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 1: Josh row and I'm worried he's gonna go down right path.

1497
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 1: It's a little bit like Josh Rosen, a guy who

1498
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: they just he is not either he's not leader enough,

1499
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: not hard worker enough, not smart enough, doesn't have the

1500
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: skill set enough, whatever the enough he doesn't have. There

1501
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 1: seems to be a vacancy there in that skill set,

1502
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: and that's I think that's what why he's not around

1503
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: in the Washington football team anymore. There's something missing. Now,

1504
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 1: Trubisky has shown flashes of okay, this is this is

1505
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:39,679
Speaker 1: a guy that went what twelve and four? Is a rookie, right, So, yeah,

1506
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: Trubisky will start another game for somebody. I think it's

1507
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 1: gonna happen before this season's over with Chicago, right So

1508
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:51,759
Speaker 1: this is a fun one. Who had the better wide

1509
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: receiver draft class the twenty twenty NFL Draft or the

1510
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen NFL Draft. Now the twenty fourteen NFL draft

1511
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: is Odell Beckham, Jewe and you're Mike Evans, Sammy Watkins,

1512
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, Davante Adams. There's a good group. There's probably

1513
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: more than I'm forgetting, but this year is not looking

1514
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:15,560
Speaker 1: too bad. Ceedee Lamb, Jerry Judy, Henry Ruggs, Justin Jefferson.

1515
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: Te Higgins is tearing it up in Cincinnati right now,

1516
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool, Brandon I yuk Jalen Rager. I'll take this year.

1517
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: It might be this year. I'll take this year. The

1518
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 1: shine hasn't worn off this one. It's pretty nuts, isn't

1519
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,600
Speaker 1: it very nuts? Yeah? It's it's it's getting to the

1520
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: point where and I don't I'm I don't want to

1521
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 1: be get off my lawn guy, the old guy. But

1522
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 1: it's pick this year's class. It seems like it's easier

1523
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: to play quarterback in this day and age, because there's

1524
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 1: these guys are like dropping off the back of these

1525
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: pickup trucks driving through town. Joe Burrow, Great, he's number

1526
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: one pick over all. You think, okay, even him, even

1527
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: at that spot, it's a coin flip whether the guy's

1528
01:20:56,040 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: gonna be good or not. Right, But justin Herbert, now Tua,

1529
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 1: you got these guys that are playing, they're playing well yeah,

1530
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: um right out of the gate, and I'm like, uh,

1531
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 1: you know, and Pat mahomes At, Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson.

1532
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: These guys were right out of the gate and they're

1533
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 1: like the face of the franchise. Let's go winning games

1534
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Whoa Josh Allen was a slow poke

1535
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: and they was just second full year as starter. Yeah,

1536
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 1: there there are more washouts. As I'm running through this

1537
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen draft class, it's unquestionably twenty twenty right now

1538
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: with the early contributions that they're making from top to

1539
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: bottom pretty much with their respective offense. And that's why

1540
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:49,719
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen is Watkins, Mike Evans, you know, both good players.

1541
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:53,879
Speaker 1: Beckham good, Brandon Cooks has been on four teams, but okay,

1542
01:21:53,880 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 1: talented player, Kelvin Benjamin, Mark Easley, right, Jordan Matthews, Paul Richardson,

1543
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: then DeVante Adams, Cody Latimer, Alan Robinson, he's good, good player,

1544
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, as we mentioned, Josh Huff, Dante Moncrief, John Brown,

1545
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 1: forgot about John bren So. There are good players in there.

1546
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: I just don't think it has the same depth as

1547
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 1: this past year's class. Just an impressive. Yeah. I went

1548
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: off on that, and that's why there was a record

1549
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 1: thirteen receivers going in the first two rounds this year.

1550
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: It wasn't that good, right, And I'll say this, and

1551
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 1: he asked me if if the receiving group in fourteen

1552
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 1: was better than this year's And I went off on

1553
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: this quarterback tangent that It's the same thing with wide receivers.

1554
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,560
Speaker 1: You're all the players who come up who want to

1555
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: be on the field, who don't play quarterback, they want

1556
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: to play wide out. There's no but none of these

1557
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 1: guys are trying to play running back anymore. They want

1558
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: to They want to run routes and catch the ball.

1559
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: That's where the fun is. So they're getting and they're

1560
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 1: getting better coached at lower levels as well. They're coming

1561
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: out polished route runner with concepts under their belt. Zone beaters,

1562
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 1: man technique, how to get open with versus man, versus bump,

1563
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: versus man off, versus man inside. I mean it's they

1564
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 1: come out really well schooled, so they're they're getting off

1565
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: to faster starts while they still got fresh legs to

1566
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: get it done, you know. So yeah, I think I

1567
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 1: would stick with the twenty twenty draft. Okay, it's gonna

1568
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: be really good. Here's here's another one. We're gonna go

1569
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: to the defensive side of the ball. Finally, Aaron Donald

1570
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:31,719
Speaker 1: will or will not break the single season sack record,

1571
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:36,639
Speaker 1: which is twenty two and a half Michael Strahan and

1572
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: Donald right now has nine sacks in nine games he's

1573
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: played nine yep, nine sacks in nine games, which would

1574
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 1: mean he's on pace for sixteen. I can look just

1575
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 1: I want to look and see who they still have

1576
01:23:53,720 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: to play. So the Rams, So they've played the Cowboys.

1577
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 1: They gotta they get the Cowboys again. The Oh no,

1578
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 1: they're not again. They're not in the same division. One

1579
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: am I the Rams? Or five and three? Are they not?

1580
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: They want to play me? Count these games? One? Two, three?

1581
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, nine and eight games? Right? You are correct?

1582
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: What do you think you're thinking? Nine and eight games,

1583
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: which would put him at eighteen sacks, and then that

1584
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: the back end of it. They've got to play. Let's

1585
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: see they go, all right, the Seahawks, which you know,

1586
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: good luck getting Russ forty nine ers might scoop up there,

1587
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: Bucks Brady gets it out too fast. Good luck catching

1588
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. When you play the Cardinals, Niners, they got

1589
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 1: a chance. Patriots you could get some Jets, you could

1590
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 1: get some then Seahawks and Cardinals again, twenty two and

1591
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: a halfs a lot. I don't think so defensive tackle

1592
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: that I don't think he's gonna do it. I'm gonna

1593
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: say no, I say no, I'm gonna say no. That's

1594
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 1: that's a fat number. You're right, Seahawks. He's not gonna

1595
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: He's not gonna say he may get Russell once a game,

1596
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 1: four of his last games, four of his last nine games,

1597
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: or against Russell, Wilson and Kyler. Marc's not catching those

1598
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: He's he's not sacking those guys. He's not gonna get

1599
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady's not gonna get sacked. He may get

1600
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: him once, you know what I mean? For the Bucks. Yeah, yeah, so,

1601
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: but then again, he might have four sacks against Cam

1602
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: Newton and four sacks against Sam Darnel two so or

1603
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, right, so yeah, but no, I don't think

1604
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll make it either. All right, that

1605
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: was what's for lunch. We have to take a break.

1606
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: But when we get back, more of your comments on

1607
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,040

1608
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 1: if the Bills are gonna make a move, who or

1609
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 1: what are you doing to make the roster better? More

1610
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: of your comments when we return and your phone calls

1611
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: at eight three five fifty Here on one Bills Live

1612
01:25:49,040 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: presented by Kellid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown,

1613
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: Steve Tesker closing up our number two of a NFL

1614
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: trade deadline Tuesday edition of One Bills Live. You see

1615
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: the countdown clock in the lower right corner of your

1616
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: screen if you're watching on MSG. And we are going

1617
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet here where we have been

1618
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: asking if the Bills are to make a move today

1619
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: before the deadline, what or who do you want and why?

1620
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 1: Let us know and we resume the tweet sheet responses, which,

1621
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: as you know, we're brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1622
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. From Shendy,

1623
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:44,520
Speaker 1: Bean and McDermott have figured out the Bills are improved,

1624
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: but not good enough to win at all. Don't want

1625
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:48,719
Speaker 1: to mortgage the future for a few fixes this season.

1626
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: They will stand pat. No major moves happening today, says Shendy.

1627
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: What do you think the likelihood of that is, Steve,

1628
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: It's very possible because they don't have that much money

1629
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 1: to spend, and to do it, you have to have

1630
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,240
Speaker 1: a team that's willing to do it. The situation's got

1631
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: to be right. This guy, Dalvin Tomlinson we've been talking

1632
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: about today, he's on his rookie contracts. He costs a

1633
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 1: half million dollars certainly fit him under the cap. The

1634
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Giants presumably wouldn't want too much in return for him

1635
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 1: because he's done at the end of the year anyway.

1636
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 1: Now they may be in talks with him about extending him,

1637
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:27,879
Speaker 1: so he may have some he may have some ballpark

1638
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:29,640
Speaker 1: figures he knows he's going to get from them. So

1639
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: in order to make that deal happen, you gotta get

1640
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: permission to talk to his people, say what are you

1641
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: talking to him about? What's the numbers you're looking at?

1642
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: And then you got to think about it. But on

1643
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: his side of it, if he gets traded to the Bills,

1644
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 1: Bills don't sign him after the end of the season,

1645
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: he's a free agent, which is exactly where every player

1646
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: wants to be. And then if you really want to,

1647
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 1: you can go right back to the Giants if they're

1648
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 1: off and you're the right money, that's right. So, I mean,

1649
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 1: this is a rental, so you're not going to get

1650
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot in return anyway for a player of that statures.

1651
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: So I mean, you have to see where it goes.

1652
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: But I think with each passing hour it probably becomes

1653
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 1: less and less likely. We're only about two hours away

1654
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:11,640
Speaker 1: from the deadline. Unless they've got this thing undergrass, so

1655
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 1: far underground that nobody has hide nor hair of what's

1656
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 1: going on, I think it does become more and more

1657
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 1: likely that nothing happens. And I think the thing that

1658
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 1: you'd listened to, and all these guys like Tom Polisaro

1659
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: and Ian Rappaport and Adam se Adam Schefter, Jay Glazier,

1660
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 1: those kind of guys, all those guys that because they

1661
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: talk to the agents, and those are the guys who

1662
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: find out pretty quickly from Darryl on the tweet sheet

1663
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: J J. Watt. He brings some attitude and the defensive

1664
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 1: emotion that I think we really need up front, as

1665
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 1: well as a real veteran leadership presence. I don't disagree

1666
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: with all of those things. But the problem is the

1667
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:51,599
Speaker 1: cost here. I think he's seventeen and a half million,

1668
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: even pro rated. That's a fat number, like you know,

1669
01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 1: eight and change. So I just don't know how you

1670
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:02,400
Speaker 1: make that work, especially with the limited cap situation that

1671
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 1: the Bills find themselves in. There's just there's no way

1672
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 1: to do it. You can't do it. I mean, I

1673
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 1: get it. I mean he's he's was a great player,

1674
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: has been a great player, may still be, but yeah,

1675
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 1: that's he's not gonna Yeah, I don't even think he's available, right,

1676
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,679
Speaker 1: And he's got one more year left on his deal

1677
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 1: next year at seventeen and a half again, so it's

1678
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: not like he's at the end of his contract either,

1679
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 1: so we'll have to I would not I would not

1680
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 1: put him on the radar. I really wouldn't. From RBU

1681
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. In order of priority, DT move

1682
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: Murphy's contract, tight end, then linebacker. Reason I put it

1683
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 1: that way is defensive tackle will take the remaining cap.

1684
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 1: Murphy's contract gone allows to look at a cover two

1685
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: beat or tight end, and then a linebacker, preferably an

1686
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: athletic cover linebacker. The Bills may have already addressed the

1687
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,519
Speaker 1: athletic linebacker in the former Darren Lee, who was added

1688
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 1: to the practice squad yesterday. As far as moving Murphy's contract,

1689
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm assuming RBU was saying, just release him, because I

1690
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 1: don't know who's taking on that contract via trade, especially

1691
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: if they have any inkling that you might be moving

1692
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:25,679
Speaker 1: on from him to fit something else under your cap. Right,

1693
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna get any defensive tackle of any

1694
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: ILK that's getting paid a handsome salary. There's a good

1695
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: chance you're gonna have to move some people off the

1696
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: roster that are making big bank as well to make

1697
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 1: it fit. Yeah, and who I mean, you're six and two, right,

1698
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 1: who are you gonna Are you gonna kick off the boat?

1699
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I get it. People have

1700
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: had this thing about Trent Murphy and he hasn't gotten

1701
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 1: ten sacks because he's got a fat captain, right. I

1702
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: think that's that main impetus for all of that discussion. Right,

1703
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 1: But I don't know. And that seems like you're you're

1704
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 1: rocking the boat that's sailing well good. He's a glue guy, um,

1705
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 1: And you know, I know people say, wow, it's most

1706
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 1: important what to do on the field, and I get

1707
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 1: all that, but I don't think that that guy is

1708
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 1: on the move. They've never expressed any discontent with his play.

1709
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 1: He has never not taken reps. Well, he was inactive,

1710
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 1: and I think that that's that refuel that's right, that

1711
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 1: refueled the speculation. That's right. I forgot about that. Yeah,

1712
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,400
Speaker 1: that's a couple of weeks ago here with healthy Harrison

1713
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 1: Phillips and him were both healthy and actives, and that

1714
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 1: refueled the speculation, which you know, I understand why it would.

1715
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 1: You got a guy that's got a nine million dollar

1716
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 1: cab figure as a healthy and active that's not something

1717
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 1: you see every day, and it's sparked up speculation and

1718
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 1: looking to move him off the rocket. I've forgotten about that.

1719
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 1: I don't think they're training him because I don't think

1720
01:31:57,560 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 1: anybody's taking that on. They're not taking that kind of

1721
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:03,360
Speaker 1: money on unless it's a you pay that kind of

1722
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 1: money for a bend the edge speed guy that gets

1723
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: into the backfield. You're not doing it for a set

1724
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,599
Speaker 1: the edge. It's Loue collar, lunch pale, and I think

1725
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 1: he's set. Aside from the fact that he got deactivated,

1726
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:18,400
Speaker 1: I still think in large measure he plays the way

1727
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: they want him to play. Now, certainly they'd love him

1728
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 1: to get twenty sacks, but you know, in both the

1729
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 1: run and the past he takes it. Usually when he's active,

1730
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,639
Speaker 1: he gets a lot of snaps. Yeah, so we'll see

1731
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 1: where it goes and we'll know for sure in a

1732
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 1: couple hours, two hours and two minutes, that's right. The

1733
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 1: countdown clock rolls on and we have to take a break,

1734
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 1: but when we return, we will be speaking with ESPN

1735
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 1: NFL insider Chris Mortenson not only about the trade deadline

1736
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: and what could come to pass there, but this new

1737
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,960
Speaker 1: discussion that is going to be undertaken by the NFL's

1738
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:54,960
Speaker 1: Competition Committee. If games are lost before they get to

1739
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 1: the end of the season or not every team can

1740
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:02,080
Speaker 1: play all sixteen games, will there be a sixteen team

1741
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:07,719
Speaker 1: playoff format that's adopted in this crazy COVID twenty twenty

1742
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 1: year that we're all living in. We'll talk to him

1743
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 1: about that and more when we return here on One

1744

Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:32,840

1785
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 1: you for our number three of a Tuesday trade deadline

1786
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 1: edition of One Bill's Live. And joining us on the

1787
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:47,200
Speaker 1: line right now is a man that has been doing

1788
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:52,639
Speaker 1: this for a long time. ESPN senior NFL insider Chris

1789
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 1: Morton's and joining us now, and Chris, we're glad to

1790
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 1: have you in. The main reason we've got John is

1791
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 1: that tweet just sent out yesterday about the NFL's Competition

1792
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:06,559
Speaker 1: Committee undertaking what sounds like firm contingency plans. Should COVID

1793
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:11,679
Speaker 1: kind of take a wrecking ball to the regular season here? Yeah,

1794
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,080
Speaker 1: that's right. And you know when he said, oh, I've

1795
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: been in it a long time, it means I'm really old.

1796
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah I am, but we're all old. It's interesting. The

1797
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:25,360
Speaker 1: league and Roger Goodell set up an ad hoc competition committee,

1798
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 1: which included uh, you know Bill Polian, uh as you know,

1799
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 1: the former Buffalo Bills general manager. But they all but

1800
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:38,160
Speaker 1: yesterday's zoom conference called was the regular competition Committee. And listen,

1801
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 1: contingencies have been discussed all along here. But what they

1802
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 1: voted on, and they voted to passive resolution to present

1803
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 1: to owners, is in case there are games as we

1804
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 1: get along that we you know, it just you can't

1805
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 1: make up these games once the bibies disappear. Uh, and

1806
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: you really can't make up games if playing in week

1807
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 1: eighteen doesn't worth work. Let's just say I'm not gonna

1808
01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:05,519
Speaker 1: use the Buffalo Bills as an example. Let's say the Pages,

1809
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 1: for example, have two games they got to make up. Well,

1810
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 1: you can't. They can't play both games in week eight teams.

1811
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 1: So they will basically present this resolution to the owners

1812
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:19,960
Speaker 1: that have sixteen teams playoffs right now, it's a fourteen

1813
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,439
Speaker 1: team playoff. We already had a playoff team for this year,

1814
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,640
Speaker 1: but it'd be a sixteen team playoff for matt and

1815
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 1: which is eight teams in each conference, the four division

1816
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: winners and four wildcard teams based on the record winning percentage.

1817
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 1: I should add, because there might be not be an

1818
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 1: even amount of games played, and then they would play

1819
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 1: one versus eight, two versus seven, and three versus six,

1820
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 1: four versus five. And that's kind of I want to say.

1821
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:48,200
Speaker 1: I can't say it's a worst case scenario. It's kind

1822
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:51,719
Speaker 1: of like, here's here's a here's a formula in case

1823
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:54,599
Speaker 1: we can't make these games up so we can have

1824
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,760
Speaker 1: a viable playoff, And which means it's going to be

1825
01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,320
Speaker 1: a lot about tie breakers and will and if are

1826
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:03,439
Speaker 1: the contingencies such that they will have an eighteen week

1827
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 1: season perhaps and then after the eighteenth week season, they

1828
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:10,639
Speaker 1: will also have an eight teams playoff. Is that possible?

1829
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the other, right, or is

1830
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:14,519
Speaker 1: it one of the other thing? Well, here's a well,

1831
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 1: I think that's I don't have clarity on that, but

1832
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:21,800
Speaker 1: I think it's like if if Week eighteen works, and

1833
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 1: it would actually you know, decide you know, the the

1834
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,599
Speaker 1: normal playoff picture, and I would say we resort back

1835
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:33,360
Speaker 1: to the regularly what we were anticipating in anyways, seven

1836
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 1: teams in each conference, right, uh. And and I don't

1837
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:39,800
Speaker 1: have a definitive advanta on that, but that was my understanding.

1838
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:42,920
Speaker 1: And you know it truly, as these bye weeks start

1839
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 1: to disappear, it's gonna be tough to make up games.

1840
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 1: M As you're seeing the pandemic is normally is it

1841
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 1: not going away? It's starting to kind of Uh, it's

1842
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 1: spiking in so many different areas. And we're now seeing

1843
01:38:57,040 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of teams I mean, no, that the Denver Bronk

1844
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:04,560
Speaker 1: with team president CEO Joe Ellis and John Elway, the GM,

1845
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,439
Speaker 1: you know they've got mar their quarantine in at home.

1846
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 1: We're seeing more and more players get it, uh, and

1847
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 1: you know that's why we have expanded rosters to play

1848
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 1: these games. But it's but it's going to be dicey

1849
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 1: down the stretch. And I think this is the contingency

1850
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:23,599
Speaker 1: and it's probably you know, the more you look at it.

1851
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 1: At least my sense is we're going to lose some games.

1852
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:30,519
Speaker 1: It just feels that way. I don't know how you

1853
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:32,800
Speaker 1: guys feel about that. You don't want to, but I

1854
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 1: think the NFL has done a remarkable job of getting

1855
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 1: the schedule in up to this point. If they go

1856
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 1: more to that sixteen game for or sixteen team format,

1857
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:46,519
Speaker 1: I guess we're assuming, because you may not have clarity

1858
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: on this either, I guess we're assuming that the bye

1859
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,960
Speaker 1: week award for the top seeded team is out the window.

1860
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 1: There's not assuming the bye week would be out yeah. Yeah,

1861
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:58,640
Speaker 1: So anyways, like I said, it would be the way

1862
01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:00,800
Speaker 1: they would do the playoffs because they teams. This happened

1863
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:05,559
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty two with the player strike, yeah only,

1864
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 1: but it would be more of Yeah, the number one

1865
01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:11,920
Speaker 1: seed would play the eighth seed and in their conference

1866
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 1: in both conferences, So no no bye week, and there's

1867
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:19,160
Speaker 1: a chance to have the playoffs. And it's just you know,

1868
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:24,799
Speaker 1: now is the time to start putting these contingencies out there, because,

1869
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,640
Speaker 1: as I said, we are having the bye weeks that

1870
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: are starting to you know, they're gonna start disappearing. Uh.

1871
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:36,719
Speaker 1: COVID spikes player availability we'll see we can. We certainly

1872
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 1: hope and pray for the best. Now, certainly, it is

1873
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:41,160
Speaker 1: impressive that the league has gotten this far. They're at

1874
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 1: the halfway point of the of the team of the season,

1875
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 1: and they've got only a couple of teams, maybe a

1876
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:50,120
Speaker 1: handful of teams that haven't played eight games, two or

1877
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:54,560
Speaker 1: three maybe in each conference, something like that. How impressive

1878
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:56,639
Speaker 1: is that to you that they've made it this far

1879
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 1: and have those games still scheduled. And I know that

1880
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 1: you just said, you don't know that you kind of

1881
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna miss some games before the end

1882
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:07,200
Speaker 1: of the season. What are they what do the you

1883
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:09,400
Speaker 1: think the odds are that that they can't get through

1884
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:12,640
Speaker 1: this even with the expanded rosters. Yeah, byway, I just

1885
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,240
Speaker 1: want to clarify what I said about games. That's just

1886
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,080
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. It's just it's just

1887
01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:20,679
Speaker 1: a feeling that, you know, as we're seeing these COVID spikes,

1888
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 1: that you know, we may we may miss some games. Uh,

1889
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:27,759
Speaker 1: You're I did have the answer to your original question,

1890
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:32,760
Speaker 1: which I've forgotten already. I'm just I'm just asking how

1891
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: likely do you think it is that they get through this?

1892
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:36,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been impressive what they've done so far.

1893
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 1: And even with teams breaking out now we've we've managed

1894
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: to avoid what happened to Tennessee where they kind of

1895
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,840
Speaker 1: had a little wildfire there where it went away. But

1896
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,360
Speaker 1: for the most part, teams have been able to muddle

1897
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: through and take a positive test here and a positive

1898
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:56,720
Speaker 1: test there and still get the games under Do you

1899
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: think they can continue to do that through the end

1900
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 1: of the season. Well, I think they are amending their

1901
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:05,799
Speaker 1: protocols on a weekly basis. In fact, today they amended

1902
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 1: more of the COVID protocols and you're one of them.

1903
01:42:08,439 --> 01:42:10,560
Speaker 1: Is that you probably have occurred, is they're going to

1904
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:13,600
Speaker 1: expand the sidelines from the twenty to the twenty to

1905
01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:16,880
Speaker 1: have more distancing on the sidelines. Uh. You know what's

1906
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 1: interesting is we have no uh was the league had

1907
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:24,639
Speaker 1: league doctors in the NFL Players Association doctors with advice

1908
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:28,280
Speaker 1: infectious disease. People. Have no evidence that we're having team

1909
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 1: to team uh transmission. Now, I think that's a little

1910
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I remember when the Titans had you know,

1911
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 1: they went and played the Minnesota Vikings and then they

1912
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 1: found out they had this big breakout. Well, Minnesota Vikings

1913
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,760
Speaker 1: that whole week had no positive test. They went on

1914
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:47,800
Speaker 1: to play the Houston Texas. But the contact tracing they're

1915
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 1: they're enforcing a little bit more. As you know, if

1916
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,680
Speaker 1: you're in the if you've had close contact tracing to

1917
01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 1: somebody who's tested positive, you're quarantine. You're you're isolated for

1918
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 1: five days. This is what's gonna happen with the Baltimore

1919
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: Ravens this week. So they're they're trying to amend the

1920
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 1: protocols as we go along, and you hopefully that will

1921
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 1: mitigate you'll canceling games or postponing games or postponing games

1922
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,760
Speaker 1: that can't be made up. So I do give the

1923
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 1: league a lot of credit and listen, they only have

1924
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money and the players have given

1925
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:21,600
Speaker 1: on this thing too, and it's been done in conjunction

1926
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 1: with both sides talking to each other about solutions that

1927
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's literally you know, calling an audible every

1928
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:32,479
Speaker 1: week when a different set of facts present themselves. I

1929
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 1: know that your time is type more so. The last

1930
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: one for me is going to deal with today's trade deadline.

1931
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:41,920
Speaker 1: It's been relatively quiet to this point. What is your

1932
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 1: anticipation in terms of the level of activity that you're

1933
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: expecting from the league here in what amounts to the

1934
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 1: eleventh hour. Are you expecting a flurry? Are you expecting

1935
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,640
Speaker 1: it to be all quiet on the Western Front or

1936
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 1: somewhere in between. Now, most of the people I've talked

1937
01:43:57,040 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 1: to you today, I'm not an executive. GM has been

1938
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: relatively quiet. There are calls being made. Uh you know,

1939
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 1: like the Houston Texans. They have players available except for

1940
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:10,040
Speaker 1: JJ Watton Deshaun Watson, but you know they're asking for

1941
01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:14,960
Speaker 1: they're asking prices has been called kind of ridiculously high

1942
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 1: for the players that some people were looking into. It

1943
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 1: will for one of the receivers being one of them. Uh.

1944
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:23,519
Speaker 1: And and Deshaun Watson will go crazy if he gets traded.

1945
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 1: But they already traded DeAndre Hopkins. But Stefan Gilmore, you know,

1946
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 1: that's an interesting one because clearly it's gone gone bad

1947
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. He wanted a deep contract in the

1948
01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:37,080
Speaker 1: off season, not in life what happened in Buffalo, But

1949
01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:39,559
Speaker 1: you know, he banged himself up a little bit on Thursday.

1950
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:41,480
Speaker 1: Then next thing you know, he's not playing on Sunday,

1951
01:44:41,800 --> 01:44:45,639
Speaker 1: and and they're asking prices very high a first round

1952
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 1: pick and the player. Uh so people are inquiring that.

1953
01:44:49,240 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that people want to give that up.

1954
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 1: And the other thing is I find that this contingency

1955
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 1: plan that if it becomes something that people think is

1956
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,479
Speaker 1: a likelihood or just they might be seen. Wait a minute,

1957
01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 1: if we get in is he seed all you gotta

1958
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:07,280
Speaker 1: do is get in the tournament? Anything can happen. I mean,

1959
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:10,800
Speaker 1: if you look at the Patriots, everybody body thinks they're dead. Listen,

1960
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 1: they started two and oh they could have won a

1961
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:15,920
Speaker 1: Seattle in the third week. I do think the COVID

1962
01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:20,800
Speaker 1: transmissions to cam Newton and Gilmore it interrupted their their

1963
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:24,240
Speaker 1: their practice, their routine. It wasn't because you know, there

1964
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 1: was they went like two weeks where the practice was

1965
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 1: not normal and they almost beat the Bill. You know,

1966
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't think Bill belitics showing in the towel. He

1967
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,000
Speaker 1: may act like it may sound like I think it's

1968
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,640
Speaker 1: a trap myself. And so what if all of a

1969
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 1: sudden area group and they say, you know what, maybe

1970
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:43,200
Speaker 1: we get in was an eighth seed. Uh and what

1971
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:48,360
Speaker 1: they do then why trade a big time player like that? Right? More? Thanks,

1972
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time as always it's gonna be gonna

1973
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,760
Speaker 1: be an interesting second half once we get there. Yeah,

1974
01:45:56,560 --> 01:46:00,960
Speaker 1: one week at a time, right, Glad to have you

1975
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:03,400
Speaker 1: with us there more. We appreciate the insight. Chris Morten,

1976
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 1: City ESPN NFL insider joining us here, and his time

1977
01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:08,639
Speaker 1: was a little tight, so we had to let him

1978
01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 1: jump there as uh, he's a busy guy, especially on

1979
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:13,960
Speaker 1: today when the phone's ringing off the remember what the

1980
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,320
Speaker 1: hoops that we had to jump through when the outbreak

1981
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:18,599
Speaker 1: happened to the Tennessee Titans, so they just they canceled

1982
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 1: their game with the Pittsburgh Steelers, put it in their

1983
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:22,920
Speaker 1: bye week move the you know, and there's a ripple

1984
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 1: effect all the way across and the Bills didn't know

1985
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,600
Speaker 1: if they were gonna play. They ended up playing on

1986
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. All kinds of problems happened from that. But

1987
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 1: once that got once they got that fire put out

1988
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 1: the league, they started playing games and now that's been

1989
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:42,679
Speaker 1: pretty steady. H And like like today, we've got six

1990
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,600
Speaker 1: or eight maybe what maybe even ten guys they go

1991
01:46:45,640 --> 01:46:48,760
Speaker 1: on the COVID list for Baltimore just because of exposure

1992
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:51,559
Speaker 1: to the guy who did test positive. So it's like A.

1993
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:54,639
Speaker 1: It's like a preemptive measure. They're out for five days,

1994
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:59,519
Speaker 1: but they could conceivably pass, you know, test negative over

1995
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 1: the next five days and still play on Sunday. But

1996
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 1: they can't practice right now. They can't be in the building,

1997
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:08,479
Speaker 1: but they'll be in meetings going plan, they'll be yes,

1998
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 1: they'll be doing it virtually and stuff like that, so

1999
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:12,800
Speaker 1: they're not out of the loop. It's not like they're

2000
01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 1: suspended where they can't even show up and call or anything.

2001
01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:18,559
Speaker 1: They're going to be included as best they can from

2002
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 1: their homes. But the league has been able even in

2003
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 1: situations like this. Baltimore Ladies, Baltimore wants to keep rolling YEA.

2004
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:28,960
Speaker 1: And certainly teams have been hamstrung by no less than

2005
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:33,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots with Cam Newton being out of the game.

2006
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:37,680
Speaker 1: That you know, that was always worst case scenario, right,

2007
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 1: and it happened to a team. They've been done a

2008
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 1: nice job of saying, listen, we're gonna keep rolling, and

2009
01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:46,559
Speaker 1: the coaches and all those guys are on the same page,

2010
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,600
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to continue. I think the

2011
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:52,760
Speaker 1: league has a real chance of moving through the rest

2012
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:57,080
Speaker 1: of the schedule almost without interruption. The thing that concerns

2013
01:47:57,120 --> 01:48:01,080
Speaker 1: me is what's happening around the country because and I've

2014
01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:05,599
Speaker 1: said this before, the law of averages. I'm worried it's

2015
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,760
Speaker 1: going to catch up with the league because we just

2016
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,000
Speaker 1: broke a record yesterday ninety eight thousand new cases in

2017
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:17,439
Speaker 1: the country yesterday, ninety eight thousand. I mean, that is

2018
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 1: just that's like an incomprehensible number. Wisconsin's infection rate in

2019
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin, it's up to thirty percent. And

2020
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 1: we saw aj Dillon test positive up there, the running back,

2021
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: and there's two other players that were in close contact

2022
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:35,360
Speaker 1: who are now on the COVID reserve list and may

2023
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,640
Speaker 1: not play Thursday night for their Thursday night game. So

2024
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 1: this is I think where we're headed here with this

2025
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:44,559
Speaker 1: current infection rate is like the tip of the iceberg,

2026
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:49,440
Speaker 1: and I'm concerned that the infection rate in this country

2027
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:52,519
Speaker 1: is going to put the second half of the season

2028
01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 1: in jeopardy in some way, shape or form, because there's

2029
01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:58,760
Speaker 1: just too many people with it. It's amazing because that

2030
01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:01,040
Speaker 1: is exactly the option of what we were afraid of.

2031
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 1: We thought, Hey, these guys will be they'll go home,

2032
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:06,920
Speaker 1: stay in their houses, go back to work, go home

2033
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:08,680
Speaker 1: stay in their houses, go back to do that. They

2034
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,720
Speaker 1: got a chance. But but but but we thought the

2035
01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: risk was it. If this guy on the Titans has it,

2036
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna give it to everybody on the bills. And

2037
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 1: that has not happened once. That's greater concern is what's

2038
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 1: out in the public. Yeah, the most amazing thing is

2039
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:25,559
Speaker 1: these guys are breathing and sweating and and and in

2040
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 1: Chicago in the same each other. The thing there's ain't

2041
01:49:28,160 --> 01:49:30,599
Speaker 1: he spit in my face? There eat all this stuff

2042
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 1: is going. Nobody's catching it on a game, in a

2043
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:37,559
Speaker 1: game that's so unbelievable that you're outside the wind's blowing.

2044
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 1: And I guess. But now now it's us. Yeah, it's

2045
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:44,719
Speaker 1: the general public. It's us gonna be the biggest threat.

2046
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:47,240
Speaker 1: It's it really is. You know, you think the way

2047
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:51,839
Speaker 1: the rates are going right back eight months, how stupid

2048
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 1: we were, Well, we're all learning on the all. We

2049
01:49:54,920 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 1: didn't know Anything's ignorance. We didn't know anything. We didn't

2050
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:00,880
Speaker 1: know anything. Yeah, and now you everything's different. And now

2051
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this that you got he was right,

2052
01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 1: Chris Mortenson, our last guest, was right. The league has

2053
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:07,240
Speaker 1: continued to stay on top of it. We're not just

2054
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:08,880
Speaker 1: gotta saying, Okay, here's what we're gonna do. Let's go.

2055
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 1: They're like going, what about this war protocols is? You

2056
01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:13,439
Speaker 1: know what? Hey do this? Now we're finding this out,

2057
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:15,519
Speaker 1: so let's change it. Let's get We're gonna expand the

2058
01:50:15,520 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 1: bench areas, keep everybody even further apart, all the players

2059
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 1: and coaches to mask up in the postgame locker rooms,

2060
01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:23,400
Speaker 1: so after the game is over, they're gonna be handed

2061
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 1: out masks as those guys come back into the locker

2062
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:28,200
Speaker 1: room after the game. Because you see those postgame locker

2063
01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 1: room celebrations, nobody's got a mask on in there. They're like, oh,

2064
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:34,760
Speaker 1: we got a mask up there too, mask up there too. Yeah,

2065
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:37,519
Speaker 1: Because every little bit helps. Yeah, And that's and that's

2066
01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 1: the approach they're taking because they know, with these infection

2067
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 1: rates going up around the country, the biggest threat is

2068
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,439
Speaker 1: going to be the general in a closed environment, that

2069
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 1: one little hole in your protocols is going to be

2070
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 1: the difference between you know, having the right players on

2071
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:53,040
Speaker 1: the field and or the game taking place at all.

2072
01:50:53,080 --> 01:50:56,400
Speaker 1: That's that's the big if. But up until now that

2073
01:50:56,560 --> 01:51:00,559
Speaker 1: it's been absolutely amazing to me that for all the

2074
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,600
Speaker 1: fear we have about catching and who can catch it,

2075
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:05,120
Speaker 1: these guys out there, no mask, they're run around, Yeah,

2076
01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: it's they None of them catch it on the field.

2077
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 1: It's amazing. One thing we did want to do with

2078
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:13,719
Speaker 1: respect to today's NFL trade deadline is get the thoughts

2079
01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 1: of head coach Sean McDermott, who was asked about it

2080
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: and what the team may or may not do as

2081
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:23,240
Speaker 1: the deadline ticks down. So here was coach McDermott in

2082
01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:26,160
Speaker 1: answering that question on what to expect from the Bills

2083
01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:29,680
Speaker 1: with respect to the trade deadline. I know Brandon is

2084
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:33,519
Speaker 1: always looking for ways to improve our football team, and

2085
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 1: I know the deadline is fast approaching here. So you know,

2086
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,879
Speaker 1: nothing we know of right now in terms of the works,

2087
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:44,720
Speaker 1: but I know he's continued to watch and see if

2088
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 1: anything would be a right fit for us. I like

2089
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 1: the players that we have in our locker room, and

2090
01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:50,920
Speaker 1: I have a lot of confidence the players we have

2091
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:53,720
Speaker 1: inside our buildings, So you know, I'll leave the rest

2092
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 1: of it up to Brandon. I just get the sense

2093
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:59,559
Speaker 1: just reading between the lines there that they are not

2094
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 1: like work in the phones, like crazy. I think they're

2095
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 1: willing to listen the right thing presents itself, well, then

2096
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:11,000
Speaker 1: maybe they'll enter into more constructive discussions about making a move.

2097
01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 1: But I don't really get the sense at all that

2098
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 1: the Bills feel urgency to do something. I think they're

2099
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 1: gonna put their faith in their coaching staff and that

2100
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 1: the players will gel over the course of the second

2101
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 1: half of the season and really hit their stride in

2102
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:29,960
Speaker 1: November in December, and if they stay healthy, I think

2103
01:52:29,960 --> 01:52:33,720
Speaker 1: they're confident that they can ride with this group. Yeah,

2104
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 1: I think you can take them at their word, particularly

2105
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:38,760
Speaker 1: when Leslie Fraser says we've got good guys in the room.

2106
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:43,280
Speaker 1: We like our guys. That to me says that they

2107
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:45,160
Speaker 1: still feel like there's a room for them to grow

2108
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 1: into what they want them to do. And I think

2109
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 1: this is a coaching staff that we've known this about

2110
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:51,439
Speaker 1: McDermott all the time. They're going to be a very

2111
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:54,879
Speaker 1: different team in November December than they were in September October.

2112
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 1: And we've seen that year after year after year, month

2113
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 1: after month. As these seasons roll on under Sean McDermot,

2114
01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and this coaching staff, players get better and

2115
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:08,040
Speaker 1: they change over the course of time. Ed Oliver who

2116
01:53:08,120 --> 01:53:10,519
Speaker 1: was a prime example of that last year in his

2117
01:53:10,600 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 1: rookie season. Dawson Knox was an example of that, Devin Singletary.

2118
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:16,760
Speaker 1: So we've got you know, we know that there are

2119
01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:19,360
Speaker 1: going to be players who change and evolve, and that

2120
01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:23,200
Speaker 1: goes for veteran players as well. I think Vernon Butler,

2121
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:27,439
Speaker 1: Mario Addison, Quentin Jefferson, those three new guys, along with

2122
01:53:27,479 --> 01:53:31,599
Speaker 1: aj Epenezza, who was a healthy scratch last week. They're

2123
01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 1: still continuing to tinker with the lineup and the combinations

2124
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:37,920
Speaker 1: and what they want these guys to do. And it's

2125
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:43,040
Speaker 1: a week to week proposition. I mean you, amazingly, it's

2126
01:53:43,080 --> 01:53:47,040
Speaker 1: not because it wasn't this way when I played. Once

2127
01:53:47,040 --> 01:53:48,880
Speaker 1: you're up, you're kind of That's what it's gonna be

2128
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:53,640
Speaker 1: for until somebody gets into They churn the roster, and

2129
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 1: I man, I'll tell you what. It keeps you on

2130
01:53:56,120 --> 01:54:00,759
Speaker 1: your you gotta be ready. Yeah. And the new practice

2131
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:04,439
Speaker 1: squad rules and the relaxed rules there there's even more

2132
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 1: opportunity for churn and we saw that yesterday the Bills

2133
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:12,120
Speaker 1: signed free agent linebacker Darren Lee to their practice squad.

2134
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:15,000
Speaker 1: Here's coach McDermott on the addition of the former first

2135
01:54:15,080 --> 01:54:19,559
Speaker 1: round pick. Brandon's always looking at ways we can improve,

2136
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:24,520
Speaker 1: and Darren's played some snaps in the league obviously, and

2137
01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 1: and so has some skill that we want to look

2138
01:54:26,840 --> 01:54:29,240
Speaker 1: take a longer look at and see if it fits us.

2139
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 1: And so, you know, really that's all I can tell

2140
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:35,680
Speaker 1: you at this point. Coach Coach Frasier was also asked

2141
01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 1: about him admitted that, you know, he didn't follow his

2142
01:54:38,520 --> 01:54:40,880
Speaker 1: career closely once he got to the NFL. But here's

2143
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:43,840
Speaker 1: coach Frasier on Darren Lee and what he might bring

2144
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:47,320
Speaker 1: to their roster. No, a whole lot about him. At

2145
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 1: We worked him out too while we went in training camp,

2146
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:53,600
Speaker 1: and he moved around really well. I know, he's a

2147
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:56,720
Speaker 1: really good player coming out of Ohio State. Haven't really

2148
01:54:56,800 --> 01:55:00,360
Speaker 1: followed his career, but in his workout, you know, like

2149
01:55:00,480 --> 01:55:04,400
Speaker 1: this movement, seem to have a pretty good football IQ

2150
01:55:05,080 --> 01:55:07,800
Speaker 1: and seemed like he'd fit in well with our guys.

2151
01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 1: The biggest thing was watching his movement and some of

2152
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:13,160
Speaker 1: the drills that we put him through and the way

2153
01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:15,120
Speaker 1: he handled himself. He seemed like he was a pretty

2154
01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 1: good athlete. So athleticism is clearly what they're after here.

2155
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:24,320
Speaker 1: They're looking for insurance in the event that Matt Milano

2156
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:27,360
Speaker 1: cannot recover and not be a full time player going forward.

2157
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:29,760
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to get him to the bye

2158
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 1: week in week eleven and just hope that with treatment

2159
01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:35,000
Speaker 1: and everything else, that you know, Milano can heal up

2160
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,400
Speaker 1: and get through the season. But in the event that

2161
01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:40,360
Speaker 1: he can't, to me, Darren Lee is an insurance plan

2162
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 1: for that very position and all the athletic requirements it entails,

2163
01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:48,200
Speaker 1: and get him in now, to get him schooled up.

2164
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:50,640
Speaker 1: So if God forbid, you have to turn to an

2165
01:55:50,680 --> 01:55:55,200
Speaker 1: athletic player, he's hopefully ready enough to step in and

2166
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 1: play some kind of role. And they released a mod

2167
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,040
Speaker 1: Gooden last week at linebacker. They had on their they

2168
01:56:01,120 --> 01:56:04,000
Speaker 1: released him, so you know they're mod goot and most people,

2169
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 1: most Bills fans, is like, who they've released? Who? Ye?

2170
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:11,280
Speaker 1: That's right. So this is the kind of goings on

2171
01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 1: that happened constantly now, particularly in this era that we

2172
01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:17,920
Speaker 1: live in in the pandemic with a huge roster, size,

2173
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:23,400
Speaker 1: huge practice squad, and a COVID list as well. Nate

2174
01:56:23,440 --> 01:56:26,040
Speaker 1: Becker's back off the COVID list the tight end. So

2175
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 1: they're getting guys off of that, So we keep an

2176
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:31,440
Speaker 1: eye on it. Darren Lee, I mean Darren Lee. We

2177
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:33,440
Speaker 1: may never hear from him again, they may release him

2178
01:56:33,440 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 1: some time in the offseason or whatever. Who knows, but

2179
01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:39,440
Speaker 1: they are looking and I think it as relates to

2180
01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:42,240
Speaker 1: the you know, ninety minutes left in the trade deadline today.

2181
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 1: I just you know, I think they like the guys

2182
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 1: they've got. I think they know what they need, There's

2183
01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:53,360
Speaker 1: no question they do. And they probably have a better

2184
01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:55,040
Speaker 1: handle on it than we do. And I think the

2185
01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:57,160
Speaker 1: interesting part would be do they have a different handle

2186
01:56:57,200 --> 01:56:59,000
Speaker 1: on it than we do. Do they see it as

2187
01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:01,000
Speaker 1: a different problem than all of us? You know, we've

2188
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:03,480
Speaker 1: got there's We're getting all kinds of feedback. Everybody says,

2189
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:05,000
Speaker 1: we need a big defensive tackle, we need a big

2190
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:07,000
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. It'd be interesting to see if that's what

2191
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:09,520
Speaker 1: they think they need. Certainly they do think they need

2192
01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 1: an athletic line back. And again, I'll say I was

2193
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,320
Speaker 1: encouraged by the play of Harrison Phillips this past week.

2194
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 1: He played more than any other defensive lineman on the

2195
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:18,720
Speaker 1: roster in that game against the Patriots, which was a

2196
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:21,440
Speaker 1: grinded out game for the most part. I mean, both

2197
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:24,200
Speaker 1: teams running the football more than they threw it, and

2198
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: I thought Harrison Phillips showed up. I still don't think

2199
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 1: he's all the way back yet, but I think we're

2200
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:34,160
Speaker 1: getting signs that he's on the way. And is that

2201
01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: enough to convince them, hey, we're gonna be okay here?

2202
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:40,960
Speaker 1: Maybe So I don't know, but I think Harrison Phillips

2203
01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:42,480
Speaker 1: is going to be on the field again next week

2204
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 1: or this week, I mean, and be interesting to see

2205
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:48,840
Speaker 1: if he takes another step. And if he's on that road,

2206
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:51,960
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that they might be able

2207
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:54,520
Speaker 1: to lean on to play that one technique. So you

2208
01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:57,080
Speaker 1: gotta I think the proof is in the pudding. He

2209
01:57:57,160 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 1: played a ton of snaps, and if he's not doing

2210
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 1: what they want him to do, he's not playing a

2211
01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:04,800
Speaker 1: ton of snaps. Justin Zimmer, yes, I mean the coach

2212
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:07,200
Speaker 1: Frazier said it in the press conference yesterday. He earned

2213
01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 1: extra snaps based on the way he was playing. Right.

2214
01:58:09,400 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 1: Justin Zimmer is out there because he's because he's been

2215
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 1: doing He's motor player and he's doing something. He's hustling

2216
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 1: down the line, he's doing some things. So the message

2217
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:23,960
Speaker 1: is definitely being communicated to these players about what they

2218
01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:26,280
Speaker 1: expect on them from them on the field, and they're

2219
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 1: rewarding it without with no holds barred. You want on

2220
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:32,840
Speaker 1: the field prove that you deserve to be there, and

2221
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:35,960
Speaker 1: that's what Harrison Phillips did this last week. Justin Zimmer

2222
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 1: has done off and on over the last month as well,

2223
01:58:38,200 --> 01:58:41,480
Speaker 1: since the time he got activated. So I I don't

2224
01:58:42,680 --> 01:58:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm I think they're okay where they're at. I don't

2225
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 1: think the coaches are gonna panic, are gonna say, you know,

2226
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 1: what do you expect us to do? I think they're

2227
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna feel like they can still win games, but their

2228
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:54,680
Speaker 1: margin of air, I think is less without a guy

2229
01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:57,960
Speaker 1: like Starloo to lady in the in the lineup, or

2230
01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:04,080
Speaker 1: another guy like him. We'll see, we'll see, you know,

2231
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 1: ninety minutes from the deadline, I don't think it's going

2232
01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:11,960
Speaker 1: to happen. Now. Yeah, it's seeming more and more unlikely

2233
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:14,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Hour and a half left in that trade deadline.

2234
01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:17,920
Speaker 1: It's been quiet league wide. I mean not just as

2235
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:20,440
Speaker 1: far as Buffalo is concerned. It's been quiet league wide.

2236
01:59:21,520 --> 01:59:23,520
Speaker 1: We have to take a break but when we return,

2237
01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:26,320
Speaker 1: we were gonna get your final thoughts on the tweet

2238
01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:30,600
Speaker 1: sheet and we will probably partake in a little bit

2239
01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 1: of true false, So we'll get to those things when

2240
01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:35,160
Speaker 1: we return. Here on One Bills Live presented by Kalid

2241
01:59:35,200 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 1: to Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio time to bring you

01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:57,200
Speaker 1: jeweler or the Buffalo Bills. Defon Diggs reach the fifty

2244
01:59:57,320 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 1: reception milestone for the sixth time and as many rear

2245
02:00:00,360 --> 02:00:04,240
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL. By reaching fifty receptions in eight games,

2246
02:00:04,240 --> 02:00:07,160
Speaker 1: he matched his own personal best done previously in twenty

2247
02:00:07,200 --> 02:00:11,520
Speaker 1: sixteen and twenty eighteen, and he ties the record for

2248
02:00:11,600 --> 02:00:15,240
Speaker 1: second fastest Bill to fifty receptions with Eric Moulds and

2249
02:00:15,280 --> 02:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Peerless Price, who also did it in eight games in

2250
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. He's only behind Eric Mould's club

2251
02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:25,800

2254
02:00:33,480 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 1: we last left off with Tiffany. You want to take

2255
02:00:37,320 --> 02:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Tiffany's tweet there and tell us what she had to

2256
02:00:39,720 --> 02:00:41,840
Speaker 1: offer with respect to the trade deadline and what she'd

2257
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 1: do if she was Bills, Tiffany says, in my opinion,

2258
02:00:44,200 --> 02:00:46,760
Speaker 1: a playmaker at tight end could help Josh in the

2259
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:49,760
Speaker 1: passing game. Rumor has it David and Joeku may be available.

2260
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:51,920
Speaker 1: He's an athletic pass catching tight end. I'm not sure

2261
02:00:51,920 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 1: if Dawson Knox is going to develop into a player

2262
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:58,120
Speaker 1: you can count on moving forward. A linebacker would help too.

2263
02:00:59,320 --> 02:01:01,960
Speaker 1: I think with Dawson Knox, I think it's more out

2264
02:01:01,960 --> 02:01:05,640
Speaker 1: of sight, out of mind. What would you think? I

2265
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 1: was thinking about this and during the break, what would

2266
02:01:07,440 --> 02:01:10,080
Speaker 1: happen if somebody offered us a play like a Dawson

2267
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:12,920
Speaker 1: Knox in a trade and you go back and look

2268
02:01:12,920 --> 02:01:14,800
Speaker 1: at his highlights and you say, wow, look at that guy.

2269
02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:16,880
Speaker 1: He can play, And what's his problem. Well, he's had

2270
02:01:16,920 --> 02:01:19,400
Speaker 1: trouble staying on the field, and well it's his second year.

2271
02:01:19,480 --> 02:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Let's see what he's got. You might be a little

2272
02:01:21,800 --> 02:01:27,000
Speaker 1: bit enthused about it, and I kind of like, let's

2273
02:01:27,160 --> 02:01:28,960
Speaker 1: take a deep breath and give him a chance to

2274
02:01:29,520 --> 02:01:31,600
Speaker 1: get health and get back on the field. I'm not

2275
02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:34,080
Speaker 1: done with him yet, And I think it sounds like

2276
02:01:34,120 --> 02:01:36,080
Speaker 1: Tiffany and some other Bills fans are tired of waiting

2277
02:01:36,080 --> 02:01:41,680
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, I think it's the injuries that frustrate

2278
02:01:41,720 --> 02:01:44,000
Speaker 1: them the most. I mean, the drops probably factor in

2279
02:01:44,040 --> 02:01:49,200
Speaker 1: as well. I think we have to remember that Dawson

2280
02:01:49,320 --> 02:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Knox was a guy that caught all of fifteen passes

2281
02:01:52,640 --> 02:01:55,120
Speaker 1: in college, right. I mean it's not like he was

2282
02:01:55,160 --> 02:01:58,960
Speaker 1: the primary target down there at Auburn. It was DK Metcalf,

2283
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:03,280
Speaker 1: AJ Brown and a couple other guys. He was not

2284
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 1: a featured part of that offense at all. And now

2285
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:08,320
Speaker 1: you're trying to make him a number one tight end

2286
02:02:08,320 --> 02:02:13,560
Speaker 1: target in the passing game. And you know, I don't

2287
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:15,840
Speaker 1: think he's realized that yet, but I think he's a

2288
02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:17,760
Speaker 1: guy that's probably going to need a little more time

2289
02:02:17,760 --> 02:02:20,000
Speaker 1: on the job. So the question becomes how patient are

2290
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:22,600
Speaker 1: you willing to be with him to let him become

2291
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:26,240
Speaker 1: what you think he can become, knowing that based on

2292
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:29,680
Speaker 1: his prior inexperience, he's going to need more time and

2293
02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:33,040
Speaker 1: experience here at this level. Because they say, well, I

2294
02:02:33,080 --> 02:02:34,440
Speaker 1: don't care if he didn't do it at that level.

2295
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:38,000
Speaker 1: We're giving him the opportunity now. Yeah, but this level

2296
02:02:38,040 --> 02:02:40,880
Speaker 1: of football is a completely different animal than the college level.

2297
02:02:40,960 --> 02:02:44,680
Speaker 1: So if you're willing to be patient, I think Dawson

2298
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Knox can become what they want him to be. If

2299
02:02:47,480 --> 02:02:49,960
Speaker 1: you're not patient, well then you make a move like

2300
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:52,400
Speaker 1: that and you go for a David and Joku. But

2301
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm not. I don't think now's the time

2302
02:02:56,800 --> 02:02:59,240
Speaker 1: for that though. I think he got to find out

2303
02:02:59,240 --> 02:03:00,920
Speaker 1: about get him help to get him back on the field,

2304
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 1: let him, let him play with this offense, with these

2305
02:03:03,320 --> 02:03:05,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and see what he can see if he

2306
02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:07,800
Speaker 1: can help you. And I think that's that's what I'm

2307
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:09,920
Speaker 1: more interested in doing. And I get it you want

2308
02:03:09,920 --> 02:03:11,800
Speaker 1: to kind of do it now. And I don't know

2309
02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 1: how close he is to coming back off the COVID

2310
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:18,480
Speaker 1: list or how that affected his recovery from the concussion,

2311
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:26,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know. But nevertheless, yeah, I'm with the

2312
02:03:26,840 --> 02:03:29,800
Speaker 1: development the player development this staff has and this team

2313
02:03:29,800 --> 02:03:32,280
Speaker 1: has put together. That's the kind of player you want

2314
02:03:32,280 --> 02:03:34,320
Speaker 1: to hang on to, not kick to the curb. And

2315
02:03:34,360 --> 02:03:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you have to trade him to bring

2316
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:39,560
Speaker 1: in Joku in. I just don't think they'll be room

2317
02:03:39,640 --> 02:03:42,800
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah. From Nick on the tweet sheet, we

2318
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:45,120
Speaker 1: need someone to help our front seven on defense. We

2319
02:03:45,160 --> 02:03:47,640
Speaker 1: can no longer use the preseason as an excuse. It's

2320
02:03:47,640 --> 02:03:50,320
Speaker 1: been eight games and our defense still cannot get off

2321
02:03:50,360 --> 02:03:52,800
Speaker 1: the field consistently. We may steal the division with our

2322
02:03:52,800 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 1: current personnel, but we'll have no chance in the playoffs,

2323
02:03:56,600 --> 02:03:58,880
Speaker 1: and I think that is the chief concern. I mean,

2324
02:03:58,920 --> 02:04:01,520
Speaker 1: sitting at six and two four and owned division. The

2325
02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:04,880
Speaker 1: road has been largely paved to a division title, the

2326
02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:07,440
Speaker 1: first since nineteen ninety five, which will be all great

2327
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:11,320
Speaker 1: and enjoyable for Bills fans, But they have their eyes

2328
02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:13,800
Speaker 1: on a bigger price here, and that's advancing in the playoffs.

2329
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:16,920
Speaker 1: And I think they are genuinely concerned, knowing when you

2330
02:04:16,960 --> 02:04:19,240
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, you're facing some of the highest

2331
02:04:19,240 --> 02:04:21,520
Speaker 1: scoring teams in the league, and if you don't have

2332
02:04:21,520 --> 02:04:24,120
Speaker 1: a defense that can stop people, it puts undue pressure

2333
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:27,080
Speaker 1: on your offense to really rack it up. From a

2334
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:30,840
Speaker 1: point production perspective, Yeah, the Bills, now you talk about

2335
02:04:30,840 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: point we asked or thought in the preseason and run

2336
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:36,920
Speaker 1: up to the season, if they could just score one

2337
02:04:36,960 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 1: more touchdown per game and get to twenty five twenty

2338
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:43,600
Speaker 1: six points. Again, they're twenty four and a half right now,

2339
02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:47,200
Speaker 1: that's their average. It's a significant jump. The problem is

2340
02:04:47,200 --> 02:04:50,520
Speaker 1: the entire league has jumped even further. So while they

2341
02:04:50,520 --> 02:04:53,120
Speaker 1: are scoring more points, everybody else is scoring more points

2342
02:04:53,120 --> 02:04:56,040
Speaker 1: as well. And I think, no question, over the last

2343
02:04:56,080 --> 02:04:59,160
Speaker 1: four games, they have come back to earth a little

2344
02:04:59,160 --> 02:05:01,680
Speaker 1: bit and teams have started defending what they think the

2345
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:06,600
Speaker 1: Bills can do, which is go deep and you know,

2346
02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:08,520
Speaker 1: and they're starting to take digs out of the equation.

2347
02:05:08,560 --> 02:05:10,760
Speaker 1: When you don't have John Brown, it changes things for

2348
02:05:10,840 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 1: their in their benefit. So I think there's this been

2349
02:05:13,440 --> 02:05:16,640
Speaker 1: this kind of lull in their offensive production over the

2350
02:05:16,680 --> 02:05:19,920
Speaker 1: last three and a half four weeks, starting with what

2351
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:23,800
Speaker 1: the Kansas City game probably, or the Tennessee game maybe,

2352
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:26,360
Speaker 1: if you want to go that far, the two losses,

2353
02:05:26,360 --> 02:05:27,800
Speaker 1: and then they've put it together and they beat the

2354
02:05:27,880 --> 02:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Jets pretty handily, and of course they eaked it out

2355
02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:33,320
Speaker 1: over the Patriots. But I think these last few weeks

2356
02:05:33,360 --> 02:05:36,680
Speaker 1: have been a little bit of a response to defenses

2357
02:05:36,800 --> 02:05:39,080
Speaker 1: thinking okay, if you've beaten everybody that way, let's see

2358
02:05:39,080 --> 02:05:42,280
Speaker 1: if you can beat us in this way. The Patriots

2359
02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:45,520
Speaker 1: certainly did that this last week, saying okay, we'll see

2360
02:05:45,560 --> 02:05:48,000
Speaker 1: if you can run the football and win. Now, the

2361
02:05:48,040 --> 02:05:51,600
Speaker 1: Bill's got it done. That's going to continue to be

2362
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:53,560
Speaker 1: the case. It's gonna be up to Josh Allen, Brian

2363
02:05:53,640 --> 02:05:57,200
Speaker 1: Dabo and the offensive staff to do it on the

2364
02:05:57,240 --> 02:06:02,160
Speaker 1: fly every game, attacking what this defense thinks they can

2365
02:06:02,240 --> 02:06:04,640
Speaker 1: take away from you. Um, they did a pretty good

2366
02:06:04,680 --> 02:06:08,240
Speaker 1: job of it against New England, obviously, but of course

2367
02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:11,200
Speaker 1: through the short passing game, of course. But let's see,

2368
02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 1: let's see if they can do it. I think that's

2369
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:15,600
Speaker 1: what's gonna be asked of them to do. But I'm

2370
02:06:15,640 --> 02:06:17,280
Speaker 1: with you, if they're gonna go to the playoffs, I

2371
02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of the defense is gonna

2372
02:06:19,720 --> 02:06:23,040
Speaker 1: rely on. This is a team that's it's offense defense

2373
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:25,560
Speaker 1: was last year, and I think you gotta get your

2374
02:06:25,720 --> 02:06:27,840
Speaker 1: arms around this team this year and stop thinking you

2375
02:06:27,880 --> 02:06:30,000
Speaker 1: have a top three defense from last year. You gotta

2376
02:06:30,120 --> 02:06:32,000
Speaker 1: you gotta think, listen, we gotta score points. But you

2377
02:06:32,040 --> 02:06:34,160
Speaker 1: can't have a bottom third defense and think you're gonna

2378
02:06:34,200 --> 02:06:36,240
Speaker 1: advance in the playoffs. Well, if that's the If that's

2379
02:06:36,240 --> 02:06:38,920
Speaker 1: the case, then the Seattle Seahawks don't think they're going anywhere.

2380
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they are probably gonna lose a game

2381
02:06:40,840 --> 02:06:42,840
Speaker 1: forty one to thirty eight. Think about it. I mean,

2382
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:45,120
Speaker 1: that's that's where we're at it. And it may be

2383
02:06:46,120 --> 02:06:49,040
Speaker 1: Brownie not for nothing. It may be that every the

2384
02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:51,440
Speaker 1: top five teams in the league are in the exact

2385
02:06:51,520 --> 02:06:54,160
Speaker 1: same place. Yea, all five. One of those teams has

2386
02:06:54,160 --> 02:06:56,760
Speaker 1: got to go to the super Bowl, right yeah? Why

2387
02:06:56,800 --> 02:07:00,480
Speaker 1: not us? Now you look at other teams. Steers are

2388
02:07:00,480 --> 02:07:03,000
Speaker 1: not in that boat. I mean, but they're like the Bills.

2389
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:05,120
Speaker 1: They need to they need to score more points. Their

2390
02:07:05,120 --> 02:07:09,640
Speaker 1: defense is fine well, Kansas City third in scoring, third

2391
02:07:09,680 --> 02:07:15,040
Speaker 1: and points allout, Pittsburgh fifth in scoring, sixth in points allout,

2392
02:07:17,480 --> 02:07:21,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee sixth and in scoring, eighteenth in points allowed. They've

2393
02:07:21,760 --> 02:07:27,160
Speaker 1: got defensive problems. Tampa Bay second in scoring, sixth and

2394
02:07:27,240 --> 02:07:31,600
Speaker 1: points allowed. So I mean they're in good shape. Seattle

2395
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:35,560
Speaker 1: first in scoring but twenty fourth in points allout, Bills

2396
02:07:35,800 --> 02:07:39,240
Speaker 1: nineteenth in scoring, fifteenth in points allout. I think you

2397
02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:41,280
Speaker 1: got to be top five, you think of at least

2398
02:07:41,320 --> 02:07:44,320
Speaker 1: one of those. We're the outlier in that right now

2399
02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:47,080
Speaker 1: you are, because Baltimore is eighth in scoring, second in

2400
02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 1: points allout. All those teams that you mentioned are all

2401
02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:52,120
Speaker 1: top ten in scoring, and most of them are top

2402
02:07:52,160 --> 02:07:55,640
Speaker 1: ten in points alot, even Indianapolis tenth and scoring fifth

2403
02:07:55,680 --> 02:07:59,880
Speaker 1: in points allout. Defense has been their story. Miami eleven

2404
02:08:00,280 --> 02:08:03,600
Speaker 1: points scored, first in points allowed. Now that's because they

2405
02:08:03,600 --> 02:08:06,200
Speaker 1: shut out the Jets, that their numbers so high. But still,

2406
02:08:06,640 --> 02:08:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean, right, they've only played points against they played

2407
02:08:09,560 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 1: one less game than everybody else. Well that too, it's

2408
02:08:12,120 --> 02:08:15,240
Speaker 1: kind of I mean, yeah, one less game in which

2409
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:17,040
Speaker 1: they gave up points, right. I mean you put a

2410
02:08:17,080 --> 02:08:20,240
Speaker 1: goose egg anywhere in somebody's point total in terms of

2411
02:08:20,240 --> 02:08:22,680
Speaker 1: points allowed, and you know their number goes through the roof.

2412
02:08:22,720 --> 02:08:24,960
Speaker 1: But I get it. So that's my point, is that,

2413
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:29,760
Speaker 1: and you kind of I think the Bills are gonna

2414
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:31,400
Speaker 1: have to embrace who they are and they gonna have

2415
02:08:31,440 --> 02:08:33,960
Speaker 1: to win games who they are. Now, certainly they've stumbled

2416
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:36,200
Speaker 1: over the course of the last three weeks, but I'm

2417
02:08:36,200 --> 02:08:38,600
Speaker 1: telling you what their offense. You get them in a

2418
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:42,160
Speaker 1: game like this one this Sunday against Seattle with a

2419
02:08:42,240 --> 02:08:44,520
Speaker 1: defense that's the middle of the pack in points allowed

2420
02:08:44,840 --> 02:08:48,640
Speaker 1: on a nice day, which it should be this Sunday,

2421
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:50,880
Speaker 1: I gotta they got a chance to get it back

2422
02:08:50,880 --> 02:08:54,040
Speaker 1: on track offensively, Seattle's twenty fourth and points allowed. I mean,

2423
02:08:54,040 --> 02:08:57,080
Speaker 1: they're having trouble stopping. They're they're they're the worst defense

2424
02:08:57,120 --> 02:08:59,280
Speaker 1: in the league in terms of total yards allowed. They

2425
02:08:59,320 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 1: are thirty second. I mean, somehow they're eighth against the run,

2426
02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:05,360
Speaker 1: which speaks to how many yards are given up through

2427
02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:07,680
Speaker 1: the air. They are the worst pass defense in football. Well,

2428
02:09:07,680 --> 02:09:09,720
Speaker 1: they got rid of jib Davian Clowney, so they don't

2429
02:09:09,720 --> 02:09:11,640
Speaker 1: have a pass rusher. There's still well, they just got

2430
02:09:11,640 --> 02:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap, who may be able to play this week.

2431
02:09:14,520 --> 02:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams may be coming back into the lineup on

2432
02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:19,200
Speaker 1: a pitch count. Yeah, I heard he was coming back.

2433
02:09:19,480 --> 02:09:24,800
Speaker 1: So the defense will Jamal Adams is a player. Yeah,

2434
02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe John Brown will be a

2435
02:09:26,480 --> 02:09:29,960
Speaker 1: little bit better. More back to his old self and

2436
02:09:30,080 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 1: our offensive line, the Bills offense. And now they say

2437
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:36,720
Speaker 1: that Morton Mitch Morse is out. You know you can

2438
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:40,880
Speaker 1: twist yourself into circles. All right. That will do it

2439
02:09:40,920 --> 02:09:43,320
Speaker 1: for the tweet sheet today. Thank you for all your comments.

2440
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Sorry to those who we did not get to on there.

2441
02:09:46,400 --> 02:09:48,160
Speaker 1: As the Tweet Sheets always is brought to you by

2442
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:50,440
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving System. Steve and I have to take a break.

2443
02:09:50,440 --> 02:09:54,320
Speaker 1: When we return, it's what have we learned from today's

2444
02:09:54,600 --> 02:09:58,200
Speaker 1: Trade Deadline Show? And also if you haven't voted to

2445
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:00,280
Speaker 1: be sure to go do that at some point before

2446
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:03,040
Speaker 1: nine pm tonight. Steve and I back for that final

2447
02:10:03,080 --> 02:10:05,680
Speaker 1: segment here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalada Health,

2448
02:10:05,680 --> 02:10:22,320
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio time for what have we learned

2449
02:10:22,400 --> 02:10:25,320
Speaker 1: from Today's show? Brought to you as always by Skyworks,

2450
02:10:25,360 --> 02:10:28,280
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2451
02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:32,120
Speaker 1: Had our weekly visit from Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt

2452
02:10:32,160 --> 02:10:36,440
Speaker 1: on the show today and we talked trade deadline with him,

2453
02:10:36,440 --> 02:10:42,080
Speaker 1: which he expanded upon in addition to the rumored compensation

2454
02:10:42,200 --> 02:10:46,720
Speaker 1: needed to acquire Defensive Player of the Year Stefan Gilmour.

2455
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:52,320
Speaker 1: There's buyers, they're sellers, and they're suckers. And there's always

2456
02:10:52,320 --> 02:10:54,840
Speaker 1: a team who tries to make a splash, who tries

2457
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:58,240
Speaker 1: to make its fan base happy and goes for a big, shiny,

2458
02:10:58,280 --> 02:11:01,080
Speaker 1: expensive item that either they don't, don't need, can afford,

2459
02:11:01,160 --> 02:11:02,760
Speaker 1: or isn't as good as he's cracked up to be.

2460
02:11:03,200 --> 02:11:05,600
Speaker 1: Gilmore is a very flashy name. Why do you see

2461
02:11:05,600 --> 02:11:08,720
Speaker 1: the reigning Defensive Player of the Year out there potentially

2462
02:11:08,760 --> 02:11:11,760
Speaker 1: on the market. If a team grabs them, I think

2463
02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:13,920
Speaker 1: they'll be overpaying it. I put some time in this

2464
02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:17,480
Speaker 1: morning before Get Money Football. All of Gilmore's measurables are down,

2465
02:11:17,520 --> 02:11:20,040
Speaker 1: if you believe in all the analytics, the PFF stuff.

2466
02:11:20,240 --> 02:11:23,280
Speaker 1: All his completion percentage is down, all his length of

2467
02:11:23,320 --> 02:11:26,640
Speaker 1: completion is down. Someone goes and pays that price that

2468
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:29,160
Speaker 1: you quoted Chris commended us about a first round or

2469
02:11:29,200 --> 02:11:32,000
Speaker 1: an A player. I think it will be buyer's remorse.

2470
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:33,440
Speaker 1: I think he is not worth It doesn't mean I

2471
02:11:33,520 --> 02:11:37,160
Speaker 1: think it's going to happen. So that was Kyle's take

2472
02:11:37,200 --> 02:11:41,000
Speaker 1: on that overpaying to the highest. And Gilmore is thirty

2473
02:11:41,080 --> 02:11:43,640
Speaker 1: years old, now, I mean he's He's not a spring chicken.

2474
02:11:44,160 --> 02:11:47,560
Speaker 1: And there's there is one bit of trade news that's

2475
02:11:47,600 --> 02:11:50,560
Speaker 1: out there. Apparently the Jets are still shopping even more

2476
02:11:50,600 --> 02:11:54,280
Speaker 1: players on their roster. According to New York Daily News

2477
02:11:54,480 --> 02:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Jets be reporter Minich Meta, the Jets are shopping tight

2478
02:11:57,720 --> 02:12:01,640
Speaker 1: end Chris Herndon before this four pm trade deadline. And

2479
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:05,520
Speaker 1: that is an athletic pass catching tight end who the Jets,

2480
02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:08,040
Speaker 1: for some reason just never maximized in their offense. Adam

2481
02:12:08,080 --> 02:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Gase is known as failing miserably and incorporating a tight

2482
02:12:12,280 --> 02:12:15,400
Speaker 1: end into his offensive scheme, and we've seen it now here.

2483
02:12:16,320 --> 02:12:18,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, Herndon, there were a lot of Jets fans

2484
02:12:18,960 --> 02:12:20,320
Speaker 1: who had big hopes for him, and I think the

2485
02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:23,040
Speaker 1: Jets coaching staff did do. He's a big, strong, very

2486
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:26,920
Speaker 1: physical athlete. He's not like a big heavy duty guy.

2487
02:12:27,320 --> 02:12:31,800
Speaker 1: He's an athlete. But when I watched the Jets play,

2488
02:12:31,880 --> 02:12:33,960
Speaker 1: he was one of the guys offensively that I was like, Wow,

2489
02:12:33,960 --> 02:12:35,280
Speaker 1: who is that guy? I want to you know, I

2490
02:12:35,320 --> 02:12:37,960
Speaker 1: got to check him out. He's got some gifts, physical gifts,

2491
02:12:38,160 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 1: and like you said, the Jets just have not been

2492
02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:41,760
Speaker 1: able to get into the football and the other thing

2493
02:12:41,800 --> 02:12:44,960
Speaker 1: that just came down. Quinnon Williams just tweeted on Twitter.

2494
02:12:45,040 --> 02:12:47,240
Speaker 1: I want to thank everyone for their constant support. I

2495
02:12:47,240 --> 02:12:48,960
Speaker 1: have a big announcement to make, but I wanted you

2496
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:51,120
Speaker 1: guys to hear it from me first and not someone else.

2497
02:12:51,160 --> 02:12:54,280
Speaker 1: Go to my instagram for details, and I am madly

2498
02:12:54,360 --> 02:12:58,160
Speaker 1: scrambling to get Quinnon Williams on my Instagram here before

2499
02:12:58,200 --> 02:12:59,880
Speaker 1: the close of the show to find out what the

2500
02:13:00,280 --> 02:13:03,440
Speaker 1: is going on and it's probably some joke. Gotta be

2501
02:13:03,520 --> 02:13:06,400
Speaker 1: a joke coming out. He's probably having a ton of

2502
02:13:06,400 --> 02:13:09,680
Speaker 1: fun with everybody right now. Yeah, it looks like some

2503
02:13:09,960 --> 02:13:12,960
Speaker 1: wine ad or something. Good. Lord, I love how these

2504
02:13:12,960 --> 02:13:17,760
Speaker 1: guys play us like a like a violin violin. All right, well,

2505
02:13:17,760 --> 02:13:19,960
Speaker 1: that'll do a grass festival. That'll do it for us

2506
02:13:19,960 --> 02:13:23,040
