8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: my parents would go away sometimes and and leave us

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: in the care of my aunt Jane. You would come over,

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: you don't go. I kind of feel like my aunt

Speaker 1: It appears today kind of up at twelve thirty day.

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Mckinnis former NFL coach. He was head coach, I believe

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: on an interim basis, right with the Arizona Cardinal. He

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: was a three year coach two thousands through two thousand

37
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: and three for the Arizona Cardinals. Three years. That's not

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: the interim. We have to remember to ask him about

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: Bill Bidwell. If he yeah, there you go. He's about

40
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: the owners of the Turtles owner who passed away. Yesterday.

41
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: He's going to join us today day mckinnis because he

Speaker 1: is the caller analyst on the Tennessee Titans Radio Network.

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: My friend Mike Keith to play by play day mckinnis

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Frank Gore in fifteen thousand yards right, you should have

49
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: something to say about that, something positive, I'm sure yep.

50
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: Thurman comes down at one after practice Mitch Moore's Bill Center.

51
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: Mitch Moore schedule to join us. So that's what we're

52
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: looking at. We're looking at a good show, quite against

53
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: the wire with Mitch Moore's. He's got some stuff he's

54
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: prices over like I don't know when it gets over,

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: but he's gonna try, and he's got some stuff he's

56
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: got to do before he can come in. We're trying

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: to get him in at like two thirty, right before

58
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: we go off the air, so we'll see if we

59
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: can make it. He's We've got our people, got to

60
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: throw shade on him through the important things in his

61
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: day to come over and talk to us. Yeah, don't

62
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: throw shade on that. I want to get it, Mitch more.

63
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: I know I'd like talking to him. I think we've

64
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: had him since early in the season's been all We've

65
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: had him once. Did we have him after he got activated? Yeah,

66
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: I believe we did once. I think you're right. I

67
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: look forward to talking to him again, though. Mitch Moore's

68
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: schedule to join us today and we think we can

69
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: make it happen Thursday before the game the Bills and

70
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. The question about the quarterbacks, we have

71
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: no answer for you yet. It's still out there. The

72
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: last check, Josh Allen still in concussion protocol limited in

73
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. We're going to head out to practice in

74
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes and at least see and let

75
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: you see if you're watching on video, what Josh Allen

76
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: is up to today. Don't know if we'll get any

77
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: kind of indication just by watching those first few minutes

78
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: of stretching individual whether his status has changed at all.

79
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: But I have Chris Brown out there in the sidelines

80
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: to report. It's a big question and it's a good question.

81
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: And let's face it, it's the question of the week

82
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: for the Bills, right, it's Josh's going to be ready

83
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: or not. That's right, and that's we'll get an idea.

84
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get a pretty good idea. I think

85
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: now no question. If he's out there today and he's practicing,

86
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: he had no setbacks from yesterday, he's gonna play. I mean,

87
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: there's just no two ways about it. That's the way

88
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: it works in the NFL. And your starter gets when

89
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: your starters back and he's health and he gets Thursday, Friday,

90
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: Saturday to practice, he's in. If he doesn't practice today

91
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and comes back and then he finally gets healthier, maybe

92
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: there's still a question on Friday. Man, it's hard to

93
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: plug him in there when you've got to take reps

94
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: against and get looks from this defense, from your defense,

95
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: given you looks from the scout team, it's hard to

96
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: just plug him in there and feel good about it.

97
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Even if you do have a veteran guy, uh, you

98
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: want him to be out there taking reps. It'll be

99
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: interesting to see how they play this, will you Because

100
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable saying based on what we see

101
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: whether we'll be able to tell today if he looked

102
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: good yesterday. But you know we didn't see practice. Yeah,

103
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw him stretching and tossing the ball.

104
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: He had his helmet on, and he looked you know,

105
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: he was taking reps and he's actually you know, he

106
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: was taking the first reps in the drills. You know,

107
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he was waiting on Barkley to get done.

108
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: He did it first like he would if he was

109
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: going to start the game. So it's interesting to think

110
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: about whether he'll be one hundred percent. And uh, I

111
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: gotta tell you right now. If he's not one hundred percent,

112
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't want him in there, you know what I mean? Well,

113
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: what about now? You gotta that guy's gotta we need

114
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: him for the rest of the season one hundred percent,

115
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: I don't. I wouldn't risk it, not against this defense

116
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Well, based on what you're thinking with a

117
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: bye week behind you sound like someone we want to

118
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: will in in our Twitter poll today and discuss today

119
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: with us again not knowing what the status will be,

120
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: and it has to be after practice when we find

121
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: out whether he went fully today or whether he was

122
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: limited today, But the Twitter poll today, what gives the

123
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: Bills the best chance to win on Sunday against the Titans?

124
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: What do you think as far as quarterbacks are concerned?

125
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight oh three oh five fifty

126
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: or toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

127
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: five fifty, send in a tweet at one Bill's life,

128
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: or weigh in on the Twitter poll. What gives the

129
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: Bills the best chance to win Sunday against the Titans.

130
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: Is it Josh with limited practice? To find it however

131
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: you want? You know a little bit of work today, yesterday,

132
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe more limited today. Is it Matt Barkley with a

133
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: full week of practice, or it doesn't matter. The defense

134
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: is going to win this one for the Bills anyway.

135
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Let's don't you think. On the Twitter poll, forty three

136
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: percent of you got more than five hundred votes in already,

137
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: forty three percent of you say it doesn't matter Alan

138
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: or Barkley. The defense will be the deciding factor here.

139
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Thirty three percent say Josh with limited practice gives the

140
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: Bills the best chance to win, and twenty four percent

141
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: say Matt Barkley with a full week of practice. That's

142
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: an interesting poll and Steve has already come up with

143
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: something to say, Well, Jay Harris out of town, we

144
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: came up with a brilliant Twitter poll in his absence.

145
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: This is a good it's a good one. It's a

146
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: good one, right, I mean, because you gotta think too,

147
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: Josh is with his ability. He's been a roller coaster

148
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: all season anyway, right. I mean He'll have some games

149
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: and he has moments inside of all the games where

150
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: he's the best guy on the field for either team,

151
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: and then there's times when Brian day Ball is over

152
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: there screaming at him. Right. I mean it's been like

153
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: that kind of season and it's going to continue to

154
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: be until he gets more and more experienced. So you

155
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: gotta think, man, oh man, all you gotta do is just,

156
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, get him to throw that ball away once

157
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 1: or twice, stay away from the interceptions. And this team's

158
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: too tough to beat. But Matt Barkley has shown us

159
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: too in the preseason and the game that he started

160
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: last year. In his time here in Buffalo, he's pretty

161
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: dependable steady hand, particularly with this defense. He doesn't really

162
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: have a pension or a reputation for turning the football over,

163
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, I you know he gives and with you

164
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: get some guys healthy. If you get Devin Singletary back

165
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: in there, you got Dawson Knox. Now, who's a new

166
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: weapon for Barkley he didn't have a year ago when

167
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: he got here. John Brown Coleby, all this stuff and

168
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: a week of preparation to get ready for this game,

169
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: you gotta think, Wow, Matt Barkley gives us a chance

170
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: as well. But then you look over and you look

171
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: back at the job the defense did against Tom Brady

172
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: in the New England Patriots last week. I think, Man,

173
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard. You can you really think Marcus

174
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Mariota can score more points on this defense than Tom Brady.

175
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have my doubts. I'll just put

176
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: it that way. I have my doubts. So I think

177
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be This is a tough game for both teams,

178
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: no question about it. This is not gonna be a

179
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: walk in the park. But the Bill's defense gives this

180
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: offense a chance to find itself no matter who's taking snaps.

181
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, though, I would rather see Josh

182
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: Allen in there than I would Matt Barkins. What I

183
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: but You're right about the defense, right, it's his outstanding defense,

184
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: seemingly getting better week to week to week to week. Now,

185
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: going into week number five, I watched a game and

186
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: a half of the Tennessee Titans last night. I watched

187
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: last week's game against Atlanta, and I watched the week

188
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: before the Thursday night matchup they had with Jacksonville. And

189
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: they've got they've got weapons on offense. They've got receivers,

190
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: they've got a really good running back, Derrick Henry. The

191
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: tight ends they're okay, you know, Delaney Walker. But what

192
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: they don't have is a consistent quarterback, you know how.

193
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: And people Bill's fans would probably identify with this, some

194
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: of them anyway. And you see Josh at age twenty

195
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: three with fifteen NFL starts, and it's inconsistent at times.

196
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Don't do that. You did it right the last time.

197
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: Here's here's Mariota. Marcus Mariota in his what fifth year,

198
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: He's still making mistakes a ton of mistakes, and there's

199
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: something about him that I don't like him. I said

200
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: to you this morning, Mariota. And again, I watched the

201
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: Titans over the years. Watched the game and a half

202
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: last night. For every one good play that he makes,

203
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: he makes four I've questionable one just throwing the ball

204
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: up for grabs, not taking a look down field, bad

205
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: decisions passing, or he can run. He's a pretty good athlete,

206
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: but I just not a fan, and I'm sure that

207
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: the Titans look at him, and there's a reason why

208
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: he's in the final year of his deal. Titans look

209
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: at him and saying, I don't know about this guy,

210
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: and I don't know about this guy. You the more

211
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: I watched him again, as I said, and now, he

212
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: made throws last week against Atlanta. Nothing spectacular, but throws.

213
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: It seemed to me like his receivers, including number eleven Brown,

214
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: are making big plays on the ball more than Mariota's

215
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: making passes. But he's capable of that, so you got

216
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: to be concerned with that. But I just think over

217
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: the course of a full game, he's gonna make some

218
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: killer mistakes. Brown was good number eleven or second, And

219
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the Tennessee Titans are saying the exact

220
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: same thing about the Bills. You know, if you give

221
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen enough opportunities, you're gonna he's gonna throw it

222
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: to you. You look at and I I was. By

223
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: the way, Mariota, you get to throw a pick this year. Right,

224
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: He's zero interceptions on the year, eight touchdowns, zero interceptions,

225
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: so he has taken care of the football extreme well.

226
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: But their offense, he has gotten sacked at over twice

227
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: the rate that Josh Allen has gotten sacked for the

228
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. They're averaging fourteen fourteen, over fourteen percent of

229
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: their snaps passing attempts. He's getting sacked. Buffalo is just

230
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: under seven percent. I'm looking at them, I'm comparing their statistics.

231
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo out gains them in yards per game, yards per play.

232
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: Rushing yards per game were far and away better than

233
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: rushing the ball. Rushing yards per play were better passing

234
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: yards per game. We are significantly believe that we're significantly

235
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: better th them in passing yards per game. We're two

236
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: forty and and the Titans are two hundred, just two

237
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: o two per game. They do your passing yards per

238
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: play their point two nine yards better than the Bills.

239
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: And of course they have not thrown any interceptions at all.

240
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: There's zero percent interception rate, and the Bills throw an

241
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: interception probably almost five percent of the time, So there's

242
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: a you know, the turnovers are an issue for the

243
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. The sacks are an issue for the for

244
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: the Titans. Uh they their defense does get more sacks

245
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo defense, maybe actually more than twice as

246
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: many sacks than the Bills get per average, But man,

247
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: oh man, you know the Bills. The Bills outstripped them

248
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: in defensive statistics by a wide margin as well. So

249
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: it's there's a lot to think about in this game

250
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: that when you compare these two teams one, two and

251
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: two of the Titans and the Bills. Of course three

252
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: and one, there's a lot of meat on this bone

253
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: because both teams have a quarterback that some people question

254
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: a little inconsistent. But it's gonna it's gonna be a

255
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: fun game to watch. Oh absolutely, it's gonna be a

256
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: really fun game. On the sacks, Mariota has been sack

257
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: seventeen times, and those all happened in the first three weeks.

258
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: He wasn't not sacked at all against Atlanta last Sunday,

259
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: Seventeen sacks in the first three Cleveland Indian Jackson. And

260
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: they should get better with Taylor due on them, right right, right,

261
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: They're the guy who's been playing left tackle's gonna move

262
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: over now back to a more comfortable right tackle spot

263
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: for him. That is, well, they got to Dennis Kelly,

264
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: who may start, or maybe they go with Cockland. But yeah,

265
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: the seventeen sacks first three weeks against send A, see

266
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: none last week. You're an interesting team. They won nine

267
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: games each of the last three years, so they know

268
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: what the end. They made the playoffs two years ago, right,

269
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: they know what the playoffs look like, they know what

270
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: the chase for the playoffs look like. And to them,

271
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure, if you're gonna win a playoff spot, you

272
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: win your home games. And they've only played at home

273
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: once this year and lost that lost that one to Indianapolis.

274
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: They got what they counted up the other day, five

275
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: of the next seven at home, or you know, three

276
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: of the next five at home. So they're settling into

277
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: the part of their schedule where I'm sure they think,

278
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: all right, we're two and two, we're still very much

279
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: in it. Let's go. I'm sure they hope that that

280
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: kicks in the Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Right, it'll

281
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: be a good game. The weather's going to be not ideal, right,

282
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: and it's we talked about this before. Our buddy Patrick

283
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: Hammer from Channel two here in Buffalo told me a

284
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago how he listened to this show

285
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: every day at this time, and I think he indicated

286
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: he listens while he's supposed to be on the air

287
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: with an ear plug in, So that's good. But he

288
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: also tweeted this out Today's Hey one, Bill's Live. The

289
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: weather for the game in Nashville not looking great, hoping

290
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: the rain holds off, but the risk is there. And

291
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: he sends a radar pick of what it's supposed to

292
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: look like Sunday in Nashville, and it does not look good.

293
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: It is and it's supposed to be hot down there.

294
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: It's been hot all week ninety five today or something

295
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: like that. So it's the Bills practicing outside and getting

296
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: ready for what you see on your screen if there's

297
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: some msg is a big band of precipitation coming across

298
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: Nashville on Sunday, and the Bills outside today practicing in

299
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: the rain. So the Weather Channel forecast Nashville Sunday seventy

300
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: nine degrees, the high Thunderstorms forecasts eighty percent chance of

301

00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: He's at practice outside the at Pro Sports Training Center.

307
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: The Bills are working in the rain again today, Brownie.

308
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: They might as well get used to it. If it's

309
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: going to rain on Sunday in Nashville, right if that's

310
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: part of the equation and the decision making to come

311
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: out here again for a second straight day and practice

312
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: in the rain, you may as well get used to

313
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: the wet conditions. And the Nissan Stadium is grass, so

314
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: out here on grass, might as well get used to

315
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: what is likely to be the state of conditions on Sunday.

316
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: First things first, Josh back out here practicing again today.

317
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: We're not going to know the level of his participation

318
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: until the Thursday injury report comes out with an update

319
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: on the players on the injured list. He and Barkley

320
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: right now working with the offensive line on silent count,

321
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: which is going to be an element they're going to

322
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: have to employ this week with the crowd noise on

323
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: the road on Sunday. One more thing I do want

324
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: to talk about, Josh, but about the atmosphere in Nissan Stadium.

325
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: By all reports, there's going to be a lot of

326
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: Bills fans there, and that's kind of a familiar feel

327
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: when the Bills hit the road these days. We saw

328
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: it in New York first couple of road games. But

329
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: it'll still be a Tennessee crowd. I wouldn't look for,

330
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills fans to predominate there in Nashville Sunday,

331
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: would you. I think there'll be a fair representation though

332
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: the neighbors. My neighbors are going down today, they're gonna

333
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: be down there. This is there. They take one road

334
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: trip a year, and this is the one they've picked,

335
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: and I think it's a popular one amongst Bills fans,

336
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: especially those that are here in the Western New York area,

337
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: not necessarily Tennessee transplants. You know, people from Buffalo who

338
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: now live down there. I think there's a fair number

339
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: of Western New Yorkers that are going to be making

340
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: this trip because you know, it is an entertaining city,

341
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: a fun city to spend a weekend in. Yeah, your neighbors,

342
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: my neighbors. A lot of people are headed down. I

343
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: know that there's also a Bills backers tailgate that's got

344
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: over two thousand people headed for the stadium that day.

345
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: In a there you go, a roped off, coordined area.

346
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a huge tailgate with Bills backers down there. Yeah,

347
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: it should be a fun and it's quickly become. Nashville's

348
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: quickly become I'm a destination for a lot of NFL franchises,

349
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: their fan bases to go down and visit. They haven't

350
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: been in the league. You know, it's twenty years, and

351
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: I think just now people are kind of getting the

352
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: idea that Nashville is a little bit of a there

353
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: you go. I did the game there I think three

354
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: years ago when the Bills were down there, and you know,

355
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: walking around at the hotel in downtown, I you know,

356
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: I went out and had some dinner with some friends

357
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: who you know, like they made the trip. This time.

358
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: The place is jammed with Bills. People. Don't kid yourself.

359
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: It's a Tennessee home game. It is. It's a Tennessee

360
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: home game, but it will be a Tennessee and it

361
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: will and it's good that they're working on the silent

362
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: count because the Tennessee fans are going to show up,

363
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: all right, Josh Allen Brownie, Um, we don't know what

364
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: to read into the video that you provide for us,

365
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: and until we see at the end of practice, we

366
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: don't really have a better sense of what his status

367
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: will be. I'm assuming at the end of the day

368
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: they'll probably say he was limited again today. Right, There's

369
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: there's got to be some element of you know, uh,

370
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, clouding up the issue as far as the

371
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Titans are concerned as far as what the Bill's planning

372
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: to do with Josh. No, yeah, what do you think? Right? Yeah,

373
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: And you know, coach will talk after practice and he'll

374
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: undoubtedly be asked if Josh is still in the protocol.

375
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: So we'll get an answer on that, which will just

376
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: be basically yes or no. Obviously, coach not at liberty

377
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: to elaborate by NFL rules unless he's out of the protocol,

378
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: and then he can give some more information. But if

379
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: he's still in, it's just going to be a confirmation

380
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: that he is still in the protocol. So we'll have

381
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: to see if there's more work for him. We didn't

382
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: get confirmation as to whether he took any team reps,

383
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: but knowing he was limited and in stage four the

384
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: protocol probably not yesterday, which meant Matt Barkley got the

385
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: bulk of the work there. And I would imagine guys

386
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: that to some extent, you have to give some snaps,

387
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: at least as it stands right now, or at least

388
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: as it stood yesterday to Davis Webb in the event

389
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: that Josh is not available as a backup this week

390
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: and you have to elevate him from the practice squad

391
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: to the active roster to serve as the backup Matt

392
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: Barkley on Sunday Brownie, We're asking our listeners and reviewers

393
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: today what gives the Bills the best chance to win

394
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday versus the Titans. Is a Josh with minimal practice,

395
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: Barkley with a full week of practice, or doesn't matter,

396
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: the defense is gonna win it anyway. You have an opinion, Well,

397
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: I think what makes that tricky is what kind of

398
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen are you getting. You know, obviously, if he's

399
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: medically cleared, you're gonna say, yes, we get we get

400
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen we've always had, but are you really

401
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a concerted effort to

402
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: keep him from running as much as he does, because

403
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: what you don't want are two concussions in close proximity

404
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: to one another that could lead to a whole host

405
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: of other problems. That's assuming that he's even cleared and

406
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: ready to play. I would say that Matt Barkley is

407
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: more than capable. I mean, we saw what this guy

408
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: was able to do on just twelve days of preparation

409
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: last year, twelve days in the offense, and he led

410
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: a blowout effort against the Jets last year. Now this

411
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: is a much different situation that he walks into eleven

412
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: months of experience in this offense. What will likely be

413
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: if Josh doesn't play a full compliment of first team

414
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: reps to have timing and rhythm with the rest of

415
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: the guys on the offensive side of the ball, the

416
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver's chief among them. So I would say, based

417
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: on the circumstances, assuming Josh is limited again today, I

418
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: would take Barkley okay, and Barkley sounded I know you

419
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: were in on the interview sessions with him yesterday. Barkley,

420
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: first of all, I wasn't going to give anything up

421
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: as far as whom I play, but sounded confident, poised, controlled, right.

422
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not his head's not spending due to

423
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: the fact that and look, he needs to know more

424
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: than any of us whether he's starting on Sunday, right right,

425
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: And that was kind of the lead into the story

426
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: I wrote about him today on Buffalo Bills dot Com.

427
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all huddled around his locker waiting for

428
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: him to show up after practice, and I think an

429
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: indication as to how at ease he is is he

430
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: yells to the guys, Oh, hold on, guys, I'm gonna

431
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: get Duke Williams for you because he's the locker neighbor,

432
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: kind of joking like we're all standing there to talk

433
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: to Duke instead of him. But I think that's an

434
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: indication as to how at easy he is with his

435
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: role on this football team. Number one. And I talked

436
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: to him at the end of preseason guys, and let's

437
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: not forget, yes, it's preseason defense, it's vanilla. He was

438
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: the number one rated passer in the league in the preseason.

439
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: This summer so I think there is a level of

440
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: comfort with this offensive scheme that you could argue he

441
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: may not have had anywhere else in his professional career,

442
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: with as much as he's had to hop around. He

443
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: signs the two year extension in the offseason. He's been

444
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: in this offense for almost a full calendar year now,

445
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: and I and he told me, he said, this is

446
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: as free and comfortable as I have felt in an

447
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: NFL offense in my career. And I think that's important

448
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: going into a game like this this week. You know

449
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: what else is important about Barkley? I think Chris and

450
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: we had some discussion about this on our show yesterday.

451
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: Steve and I want to get your thoughts on this.

452
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: Not only is he comfortable in the fence and with

453
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: you know, his role here, he fits in to this group,

454
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: I think very much. You know, just in eleven months

455
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: he's he's like an integral part of who they are

456
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: and kind of the personality of this team. Am I

457
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: overstating that? What do you think? Right? No? I don't know.

458
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And I was talking to Lorenzo

459
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: about that. I wanted to get some perspective on the

460
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: other side of the ball. In the locker room on

461
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: you know, just the type of person Matt is, and

462
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: I know Matt's family and Lorenzo's family. They spend a

463
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: lot of time together. So just talking to Lorenzo, there's

464
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: a sense he's a very mad as might be California,

465
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, laid back guy, but he's an energetic personality.

466
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: He's the kind of personality that lifts people up, kind

467
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: of cheers people up, whether it's on the field or

468
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: off the field. And that's not all that different from

469
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: Josh's personality if you think about it. And so I

470
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: think the fact that they kind of operate on similar

471
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: wavelengths interact with teammates in much the same way, I

472
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: think it helps for transition sake from one guy to

473
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: the other in helping this team and this offense specifically

474
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: just continue to roll and operate business as usual. Chris,

475
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: I want to switch gears and talk a little bit

476
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: about Devin Singletary and the running backs. What's going on

477
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: over and that's that part of the practice field. Singletary

478
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: is still limited, or was yesterday, although you don't get

479
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: an idea of how much reps he's going to take today,

480
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: whether he's been cleared or not, but still getting him

481
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: back in the offense, particularly if Matt Barkley is the

482
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: guy taking snaps that could be crucial. Well, I think

483
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: it'll certainly help to diversify the run game for sure,

484
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: just him and Frank. Frank's kind of between the tackles guy,

485
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of wiggle, although he does a

486
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: great job is setting up his blocks where Singletary, you know,

487
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: is a darting, you know, juke and jive kind of runner.

488
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: I think, you know, running those guys back to back

489
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: in the same series will be a major adjustment for

490
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: the Tennessee defense, even as good as their run defense is.

491
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: And today could be a very telling day as far

492
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: as Singletary's concerned, because Frank Gore is taking his Thursday

493
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: rest day, at least it appears to me. Yeah, he

494
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have his helmet, so he's getting his Thursday veteran

495
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: rest day today. So it's going to be interesting to

496
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: see do they up the workload for Devin today and

497
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: is he a full participant and if so, that's certainly

498
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: a good sign for him playing on Sunday. On the

499
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: topic of offensive backs, Pat de Marco miss yesterday, right

500
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: he's in concussion protocol. Yeah, and he updates on then

501
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: And do they need to sign somebody if DeMarco is

502
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: not available? What do you think? Yeah, I'm gonna be

503
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: honest with you. I didn't get a chance to count

504
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: everybody up, and he's one of the guys I did

505
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: not see out here as of yet, so I'm gonna

506
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: have to get back to you on that. But no,

507
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: I see him now. He's got a right jersey on,

508
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: but he does have a helmet. But he does have

509
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: a helmet and he's participating, So that would mean that

510
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: he's moved from stage three to stage four of the

511
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: Return to Participation Protocol. Yesterday just light aerobic exercise. Today

512
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: he's out here with a red non contact jersey, so

513
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: I would tend to think he's joined Josh Allen and

514
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: Dean Marlowe in step four the Return to Participation Protocol.

515
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: And one other thing I should mention guys, When I

516
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: was watching Devin Secretary in practice yesterday, there was a

517
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: spring in his step, an extra jump, an extra gear

518
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: if you will, as he was going through the drills.

519
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: So I was very encouraged by what I saw from

520
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: him despite that limited designation. What's the roster situation on

521
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: numbers right now? Are they at the full fifty three?

522
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: And if what was the last person they brought up

523
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: or sat down after Harrison Phillips? So I guess it

524
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: was Peco right, right? So Pecco filled his roster spot,

525
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, they were at fifty three. My question is this,

526
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen continues to be in the concussion protocol

527
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: and they want to bring up Davis Webb, what's the move?

528
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: It's probably an offensive lineman. They're a little heavy there,

529
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: and in most weeks they've had three inactive offensive linemen,

530
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: so that means that they've got ten on the roster

531
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: because he usually carries seven active. So that's where they're

532
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: a little heavy in terms of numbers. So I would

533
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: anticipate that's where the move would be run. Let's talk

534
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: about offensive lineman. Tian Secky did not practice yesterday with

535
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: ankle issues. He said, knee issues. I don't you don't.

536
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: I know, we won't get an update until after practice.

537
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: But I wonder what the thinking is for Insecki. I mean,

538
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: did they just use Cody Ford at right tackle almost exclusively? Then?

539
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, I think that's probably the

540
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: way they go. And I don't see Insecki out here

541
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: right now. So he was out here yesterday observing practice,

542
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: listed with an ankle injury, but no sign of him

543
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: with the other lineman out here today, So that certainly

544
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: doesn't spell a rosy picture for his status as far

545
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: as Sunday's game goes. So we'll have to just see

546
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: what coach says after practice today on him. But yeah,

547
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: if he can't go, yeah, you're looking at Cody Ford,

548
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: and then I would think that your emergency swing tackle

549
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: should Devin Singletary or Devin Singletary, Dion Dawkins, or or

550
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: Ford succumbed to injury, you may be looking at the

551
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie Ryan Bates as your swing tackle in this

552
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: game ifin Secy's not available. That's what I was going

553
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: to ask. Is Ryan Bates the next guy up? Or

554
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: is it um you know McDermott, you know or you know,

555
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you do have Connor McDermott as a tackle too,

556
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: but he's been inactive and Bates has been active, and

557
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I think that's do mainly to the fact that Bates

558
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: can play all five positions on the line. But maybe

559
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: if there is a specific tackle need. It could be

560
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: McDermott that's up instead of Bates. Yeah, you're you're not

561
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: wrong there, Steve. That's a distinct possibility. Is there any

562
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: chance that they even if Josh Allen is gonna play

563
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: or and they don't want to make it the call

564
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: until later in the week that they signed Davis Webb

565
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: just to keep the Tennessee Titans guessing. Yeah, I mean

566
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: they have till four pm on Saturday to make that

567
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: move if they need to, So yeah, I would expect

568
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: them to take it all the way up to the weekend.

569
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, heck, they may not even make the move

570
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: until right before they hop on the plane on Saturday

571
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: to fly down there. With Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo

572
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com. He's on the wet practice field as

573
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: the Bills have their Thursday practice underway, just a couple

574
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: of minutes left with Chris. Big picture issues here. Chris,

575
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: having watched the Titans a lot last night, I came

576
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: away and pressed with their defense. I know the numbers

577
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: aren't great, but they are a defense that flies around

578
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: that disguise as well that you know their head coach

579
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: comes from the New England coaching tree, and they saw

580
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: what was going on. As far as confusion. You know

581
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: that the Patriots did to the Bills last week. I

582
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: would imagine the Bills offense will be up against it

583
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: against a pretty good Tennessee defense this Sunday, Right If

584
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: there's a benefit for the Bills, they'll get a lot

585
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: of the same looks that they just got this past

586
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: week because the scheme is relatively similar. I think the

587
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: one thing that the Titans do not do play call

588
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: wise with Dean ps as the defensive coordinator, that the

589
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: Patriots do do is man coverage. Patriots play a lot

590
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: more man coverage than the Titans do, who tend to

591
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: play a little bit more zone. That's not to say

592
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: they won't go and press man a little bit, and

593
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: maybe they might be inclined to do more of that

594
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: in light of the success that the Patriots had this

595
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: past week against the Bills offense. But on the whole,

596
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: they subscribe to more zone concepts than press man. So

597
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what the strategy is on the

598
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: part of deanps and that Titans defense. I did see

599
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: almost exclusively zone against Atlanta last Sunday. They got a

600
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: good back end of the defense too. Kevin Byard is

601
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: a really good safety. They got a couple of former

602
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: New England cornerbacks in the Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler.

603
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: I think the back end of their defense is pretty good. Yeah,

604
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan is exclusively their slot guy. Dory Jackson, former

605
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: high draft choice, is on the one side and usually

606
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: locks up with the top guy. The interesting thing Malcolm Butler,

607
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: who Bills fans are very familiar with from his time

608
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: in New England, has kind of had a little bit

609
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: of an uneven start to his season this year. He's

610
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: been beaten for some big plays, He's had some busted beverages.

611
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: So he's still looking to get his game probably at

612
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: a peak level because it hasn't been there to this point.

613
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: It's been very up and down. What do you see

614
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: as maybe the big difference in from the Bill's defense

615
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 1: is appared as compared to the Tennessee defense. I mean,

616
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: they're both really good, they both have good secondaries. What

617
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: are some of the key differences? Well, I mean, I

618
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: think they've got a premier player on the interior in

619
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Jurrell Casey, who I still think doesn't get enough credit

620
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: even though he's gone to about three Pro Bowls. Now.

621
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: I even asked Ed Oliver about him to see if

622
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: he was a guy that he watched on film, and

623
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: Ed said, Look, the funny thing about him is Jurrell

624
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: Casey doesn't look like a defensive tackle at all. He's

625
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: kind of got spindly legs for a big man, and

626
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: he's built like an icebox on top. But as Ed said,

627
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: he gets the job done, and he does it in

628
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: a big way. He causes all kinds of problems for

629
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. It's gonna be interesting to see what the

630
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: blocking schemes are by offensive line coach Bobby Johnson in

631
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: protections for the game plan this week because John Feliziano

632
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: is going to draw him as the main assignment. But

633
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna need some help from Mitch Morris

634
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 1: at times, because that guy's a handful. One more for you,

635
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: and it's about the Titans Bills matchup, Chris, because we

636
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: get enough about injuries already. Watch the Titans. Marcus Mariota

637
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: threw three touchdown passes against Atlanta, and yet, as I

638
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: mentioned to my partner out here, Steve, for every good

639
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: play he makes, there's like four or five questionable ones.

640
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: I just don't get him sometimes. In his fifth year,

641
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: I said to Steve, I understand why the Titans might not,

642
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: you know, want to take a longer look before they

643
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: decide whether to renew him. Right, he's kind of a

644
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: mercurial player. I won't deny that for a second. Now,

645
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: he's gotten off to a great start as far as

646
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: his numbers are concerned. Seven touchdowns, no picks. I think

647
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: he's the only quarterback in the league without an interception

648
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: thus far this season. So he's been really good. And

649
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: against the Blitz he's been even better. Guys, six touchdowns,

650
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: no picks. I think he has the highest passer rating

651
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: in the league against the Blitz so far this year.

652
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: So the approach of the Bill's defense is going to

653
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: be an interesting one in light of those numbers. How

654
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: much do they take those to heart with respect to

655
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: the defensive game plan against him? And we all know

656
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: that he can get out and run, it seems like

657
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: the offensive focus is to get the ball out of

658
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: Mariota's hands as quickly as possible and get the ball

659
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: to their playmakers in space and let them do the rest.

660
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: And I didn't get a chance to do this yesterday.

661
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look today to see where the Titans rank

662
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: in yards after catch through the first four games, because

663
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: I gotta believe they're somewhere in the top ten in

664
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: the league for sure, especially after adding a J Brown

665
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: to their receiving corps in the draft. The rookie's been

666
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: pretty good so far. Three catches ninety four yards and

667
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: two touchdowns last week, and he's not even starting yet.

668
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: They still have Corey Davis, a former first round pick

669
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: who's starting to come into his own, although he had

670
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: some drop problems last week, a couple of drops on

671
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: some easy passes, but he's still made some plays in

672
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: the second half for them. And we know Delaney Walker

673
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: is still a good space player, even at his advanced

674
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: age at a tight end. So the way they operate

675
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: is three step drop Mario to get it out. Let

676
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: these guys run in space and get the yards for

677
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: you end. And it's worked to a certain extent so far,

678
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: and it's certainly worked last week against the Falcons well.

679
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans are also averaging about one hundred and

680
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: nineteen yards rushing per game. The Bills are going one

681
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven per game with Frank Gore and

682
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: without Devin Singletary the last couple of weeks. Derrick Henry

683
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: is their bell cow back. He's big and he's really fast,

684
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: but he's a different type of runner. What are your

685
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: thoughts about their running game how it complements Mariota. Yeah,

686
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's a power run game. He's not gonna

687
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: shake anybody in the hole. He's gonna lower his shoulder

688
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: and put a lick on you when he's coming through.

689
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: I think what's kind of held their run game back

690
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: a little bit has been some of the mixing and

691
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: matching they've been doing on their offensive line. They've been

692
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: rotating their rookie guard through at the right guard position,

693
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: similar to the way the Bills have rotated Cody four

694
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: Nate Davis, their third round pick as a guy I

695
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: think who's ultimately going to be a starter for them,

696
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: but they just don't feel comfortable, so he's been rotating

697
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: in and out in the lineup on the right side,

698
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: and then their left tackle, tear At Lawe, has been

699
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: out the first four games due to suspension. He comes

700
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: back this week, and so I think that's going to

701
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: add a welcome addition to their offensive line as far

702
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: as run blocking and pass protection goes. Because if there's

703
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: one thing that's happened this season, Mariota has been sacked

704
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot. I think it's nineteen times in the first

705
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: four games. They gave up nine sacks to the Jaguars

706
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: in the game they played against them a few weeks ago,

707
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: so they're trying to shore that up. And with Lawan

708
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: back in the lineup, it's it's bound to be better. Chris,

709
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: we gotta let you go. Thank you very much so

710
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: to keep you out in the wet so long. Appreciate it.

711
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: Thanks you gotta guys around Bills insider. I don't think

712
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: he gets wet though he's under something, right, He didn't

713
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: look like he's getting wet. Are you kidding? Is he

714
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: getting wet? We didn't for an umbrella for him. We think.

715
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. He likes Mary more than I do.

716
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: I know what the numbers say. I'm just not impressed.

717
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't impressed going into the year. Watched the game

718
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: and a half more to watch. Non impressed this year. Yeah,

719
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: you know the ball's coming out. You know why because

720
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to get hit, because he got sacked

721
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: nine times earlier this year and he's been seck seventeen times.

722
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't care, he's getting rid of it. I'm not

723
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: a I'm not a fan, not a fan. I don't

724
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: know if that guy can do quite frankly, can do

725
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: much of anything against this Buffalo defense. Yeah, Brownie said

726
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna check on their yards after catch. They're twenty

727
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: two in the league, twenty one in the league, four

728
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five yards do that Tennessee Titans have

729
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: after catch yards after catch. The Bills are right behind him,

730
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: twenty second in the league, four thirty four, just under

731
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: one yard less than the Titans have, so both these

732
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: teams are almost identical. Yards after catch doesn't tell you much.

733
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really it's because he snapped. They snapped

734
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: off a lot of big plays last week. To A J.

735
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: Brown that that kind of probably gave them a boost

736
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: in that category. But hey, it all counts, you know,

737
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: it all counts. And I still think this is a

738
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: game that I'm with you, Murph. If if the Tennessee

739
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: Titans have seen him for five years, particularly and three

740
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: of it which underneath this head coach and Mike vrabel,

741
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: I think at three years he's been there, second year,

742
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: second year, Okay, and they're not convinced because they didn't

743
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: pick up his option. Why should we be right? Right?

744
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: So I'm right there with you with Marcus Mariot. That

745
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he didn't come out and have a great

746
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: game and play as well as he did against the

747
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,479
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. I'm just saying there's a lot of question

748
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: marks about him, even in his own organization. Yeah, all right, Hey,

749
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: we got a lot to talk about, including our Twitter poll,

750
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: and you're welcome to weigh in on that. We're asking

751
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: the question today on Twitter about the Bills quarterbacks. You

752
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: heard let's talk about Josh Allen and you heard Chris

753
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: Brown talk about where the Bills are at with johsh

754
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: Allen limited yesterday, remains in concussion protocol at last check.

755
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: So the question on Twitter is this what gives the

756
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: Bills the best chance to win on Sunday against Tennessee?

757
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: Is it Gosh with limited practice, Barkley with a full

758
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: week of practice, doesn't matter. The Buffalo defense will bring

759
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: in the victory. You can weigh in on that. Give

760
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: us a call on that when we come back and

761
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: to talk about more about the Tennessee Titans. Dave McGinnis,

762
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, now the color

Speaker 1: deals with the Bills and the quarterback situation and give

776
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: saying the best chance to win Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

777
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: Is it Josh Allen limited work all week? Is it

778
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley full week of work? Or is it doesn't matter?

779
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: Defense is gonna win. Let us know what you think.

780
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: Call here from Drew in Columbus, Ohio. Hello, Drew, go ahead,

781
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey, it was good. How y'all

782
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: doing today? Okay, good talking to me. It's always good

783
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: talking to are. I just had a few key key points.

784
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: I feel week to win the game. I think, for one, Um,

785
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: if DeMarco is down for this week, which pretty much

786
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: he looked like he is, why not activate Duke Williams.

787
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: I feel it to give Josh Allen a bigger target

788
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: to look at when he's scrambling and stuff like that,

789
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: and he's been catching the ball and he's good in

790
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: the run game. As far as blocking, Um, I think

791
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: we should just run the ball. The elements looking like

792
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad, we should run the ball. Well,

793
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: how's Duke Williams out with that? Just blocking? Look, I

794
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: get it. I'm not laughing at you, but I guess

795
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: I understand why people are so enamored of Duke Williams,

796
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: who is never lined up and played it down in

797
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: the National Football League, you know, and he's got a chance.

798
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: He's a practice squad player. I think he might have

799
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: something to add here, But I don't think it's a

800
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: difference between winning and losing Am I wrong about that?

801
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: Steve Drew. Here's the thing, Drew, You're right. I mean

802
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to see you. I'd like to see Duke

803
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: Williams too. But here's the problem. DeMarco's inactive. He's not

804
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: off the roster. If you're gonna bring Duke Williams up,

805
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: somebody's got to go. And I don't know that they're

806
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: ready to make any kind of move that drastic as yet.

807
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: They're three and one. They just went toe to toe

808
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: with the best team in the league or one of

809
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: the elite teams in the league, and they they're not

810
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: gonna upset the apple cart. And for me and I've

811
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: been we've been thinking about this a lot. We've been

812
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: talking to everybody out there on Twitter, in the Twitter verse.

813
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: Wants to trade for Stefan Diggs this morning, they wanted

814
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: yet the other day, they wanted us to trade for

815
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. They want us to trade for a J Green,

816
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. They want to get a big time wide receiver.

817
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: For me, none, none of those guys are the difference

818
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: maker for this team, Because the difference maker for the

819
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: team is the guy that's throwing to those guys. If

820
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: we can get Josh Allen better, John Brown, Cole Beasley,

821
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, Devin Singletary, Frank Gore. They've got enough playmakers

822
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: on this squad to do it if we can get

823
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: just just get the ball out of Josh Josh Allen's hands.

824
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I mean, I think Duke is

825
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: really intriguing because he's different than all these guys. He's

826
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: a he's a notch, bigger, a notch, heavier, a notch,

827
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: you know, he's got that thing about him and where

828
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: he's a tougher guy, you know. But I don't think

829
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: they're interested in in tweaking the roster to the extent

830
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: of just because DeMarco's down, making a roster move and

831
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: bringing Duke Williams up. I don't think that's in the cards.

832
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: I see where you're coming from. But it's just too

833
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: big a move, I think right now when they're playing

834
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: as well as they are, Drew, did you have something else? Yeah?

835
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted And another reason Allen it's his his

836
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: arm is his strength, right, that's his power you gotta

837
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: look at. I would teach him like this, this is

838
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: your power. You had the ball in your hands, the

839
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: players not there, get rid of it. Don't force nothing,

840
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just protect protecting here. As

841
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: soon as the ball's gone, then they have to lay

842
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: up off of you. So I feel like he has

843
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: to connect on his deep ball a little bit better too.

844
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: If he's connect on the deep ball, to play has

845
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: been there. If he's connect on the deep ball, we

846
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: not even talk about Josh Allen is this and now

847
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: if he's gone, he's missing on the deep balls, he's

848
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: either throwing too far too short. I think he needs

849
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: to short that up a little bit. Defense there, we'll

850
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: be all right. I agree with you, Drew there. The

851
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: deep ball hasn't been there. They've they've taken some shots.

852
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: People aren't giving them credit for taking the shots because

853
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: they haven't completed them. Uh, they're take they've taken some shots.

854
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: Zay Jones. They took a couple of two of them up.

855
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: They took a couple of shots to Zay Jones this

856
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: last week. Two of them got picked off and one

857
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: of them got picked off when he's trying to go

858
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: deep to John Brown. They've taken some shots, but they've

859
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: been disastrous or inconsequential in their result. They haven't gotten

860
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: anything in return for them. So I see, I get

861
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: what you're saying, he needs to be more act with it.

862
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: But and what was the other? And yeah, everybody believe me. Everybody,

863
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: and I mean everybody is telling Josh to get rid

864
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: of the football and don't throw it, just throw it away.

865
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: Everybody's telling him that, and they've been telling him that

866
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: for four or five six months. A breakcare. We're back

867
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: with more one Bills live from the Seneca Studio in

868
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. And this is Buffalo Bills Radio rolls along

869
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,879

870
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: We're having a good show. It's gonna be good. Joe

871
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas is here. Going to join us in a

872
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: couple of minutes at an interesting traction with our Twitter poll.

873
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: What gives the Bills the best chance to win Sunday

874
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: against the Titans. Is it Josh Allen in limited work?

875
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 1: Is it Matt Barkley with a full week of practice?

876
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Is it doesn't matter, It's about the defense. Let's hear

877
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: what you say. Eight oh three fifty toll free one

878
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: eight eight sneaky good Twitter poll, Yeah, sneak. Here is

879
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: Mike in Pittsburgh. Hell about Mike. Hey, guys, hi as

880
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: on my back. I was on the phone with the

881
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: other day and somehow I lost my connection, So thanks

882
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: to let me join again. Sure, as far as I

883
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: can see. And I was at the game on Sunday,

884
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: and everybody was supportive of Matt when he had to command.

885
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: So I think we'll be just fine with Matt if

886
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: he had to play, and I give him, you know,

887
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: all the support of the fan base behind him. Uh.

888
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: The other thing I was gonna go on to say

889
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: on Monday is that everybody is behind Josh thousand percent,

890
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: and because of that, I think it's very important that

891
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: much to the advice. I think that Tom Brady shared

892
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: with Josh that he had heard it because he's so

893
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: important to the team. So that was pretty much you

894
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: were asking what the lessons learned the first four games

895
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: of the season. I think that's one of the big

896
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 1: lessons beyond the defense, is that Josh is for real. Yeah.

897
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: I agree as we as we say we love Wyoming,

898
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: So who says that? What do I mean as we

899
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: say no, I think you're right, Josh. Yeah. I think

900
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: for the picking that goes on at the flaws in

901
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: his game. I think he's generally been pretty good through

902
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: the first four games, and and it's certainly on the

903
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: trajectory of being better. Um, and you can see what

904
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: he needs to do to be better right a little more, uh,

905
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: you know, ball get out on time, to learn to

906
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: slide a little better, not take as many risks, and

907
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: protect the football number one at the top of that list.

908
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: But I think it's all within reach for Josh, not

909
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: just down the road, but this season, like soon, I

910
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: think most people are under of the mind too. That's

911
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: this game this last week. There's no question it was.

912
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it was his worst game

913
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: of the season, not just because he got out and

914
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 1: knocked out in the fourth quarter, uh, but just because,

915
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: mostly because he was playing a Patriot defense that is

916
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: very very good, very very complex, and gives just about

917
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: every quarterback the same kind of problems that gave Josh

918
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: Allen the other week. Josh Allen is still the first

919
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: guy to engineer a scoring drive on that defense all season. Now,

920
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: he certainly had his problems ups and downs, but he

921
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: had an up that no other quarterback that team has

922
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: faced has had, and that was a scoring drive. So

923
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: I think most Bills fans kind of get that that

924
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: defense will do that to you, and we witnessed it

925
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 1: at home this last weekend. But I think, like most people,

926
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: I think Josh the better days are in the near future.

927
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: I think he's he We're going to ride that roller coaster.

928
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: And while he may have had some struggles on Sunday,

929
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna come out and play. Really, if

930
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: he does get on the field next or whenever that

931
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: is this season, he's gonna continue to get better and better.

932
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet, brought to you by

933
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

934
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 1: The question, who I guess or what gives the Bills

935
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: the best chance to win on Sunday against Tennessee. Is

936
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: it Josh Allen unlimited practice work, is it Matt Barkley

937
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: with a full week of practice, or is it the

938
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense quarterback? Doesn't matter? What do you have on

939
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet there? Yeah, from Tiffany Daniels, he says,

940
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 1: our defense is the key to a victory on Sunday.

941
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: If you pressure Mario to he'll make mistakes and give

942
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: up the ball. The d is due for a couple

943
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: of key turnovers giving our OSOM prime field position. The

944
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: defense has been great so far this season. I see

945
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: it continuing on Sunday. That's where a lot of people

946
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: on the bit Twitter pull our forty three percent of

947
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: them as a matter of fact, think it's about our defense,

948
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: not Josh or Matt Barkley. As usual, Tiffany brings up

949
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: a good point. Bills have had long scoring drives, like

950
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: all of them. Touchdown drive seventy yards are longer. Short

951
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: field would help and the defense can't help with it

952
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: and hard to find fault with the defense. But some

953
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: takeaways in a short field give the offense a short

954
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: drive starts that would help a lot. We're getting this

955
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: thing goal and this is the other aspect of this

956
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: we see with Josh on a short week our end

957
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: Bills fans says this, with Josh and the game, he

958
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: can put this game in jeopardy early. But also with

959
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: Josh and the game, you just know he's gonna make

960
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: something happen and pull it out in the end. The

961
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: game is always exciting with Josh in there. It's been

962
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. Roller coasters are fun but usually come

963
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: out okay at the end. Righty, it thinks, screeches to

964
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: a halt and you're fine, You get out and you

965
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: want to do it again. So I think that's where

966
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: we're at right now, right with Josh one more on

967
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: the tweetcheat and this is a good one from wandering check.

968
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: I like Berkeley, he's a nice backup, but really he

969
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: should be a break glass in case of emergency. Guy

970
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: Alan is more talented and multidimensional. A quarterback who gives

971
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: us the best chance to win week to week. As

972
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: long as he can take care of the football and

973
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: the defense shows up again, is it's best chance. I

974
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: kind of agree with all of that. And here's the thing,

975
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that I'm guessing somebody on the coaching staff,

976
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: maybe Dable, maybe somebody else. Maybe Sean mcdermots said to

977
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Look what you got around you. You got

978
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: this outstanding defense. Take advantage of that. You don't need

979
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: to take chances. Look who you got around you. You've

980
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: got Frank Gore running for one hundred and nine yards.

981
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: Look what you have. You have weapons in the offense. Joe,

982
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: think about two. This last game is perfect example. When

983
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: he watches the film, you know, show him the defensive

984
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: film of his team. The guy on the guy on

985
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,399
Speaker 1: the other side of the field is the goat who's

986
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: got six Super Bowl rings. He threw it away all day.

987
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: He took an intentional grounding. He never hit the ground

988
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: zone pick. He threw an end zone pick. He wasn't

989
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: even getting a whiff of getting sacked. He wasn't even

990
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: throwing it into any kind of danger. And he walks

991
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: out with a win because they get a block field goal.

992
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: You know that's look at that guy, Josh, Yeah, if

993
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: you see the best guy, you know, that guy who's

994
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: been in the league for twenty years. Do it like that?

995
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: All right? We got a good show here right in

996
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: the middle of it. We will get to day mc

Speaker 1: you know obviously, you know, I think the number one

1066
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: thing out of totally is that two things. We got

1067
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: a really really great defense and Josh need to throw

1068
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: the ball away. I mean, those are the whole two

1069
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: things that I've came up with. And congratulations to Frank

1070
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: Gore going over fifteen thousand yards. That's how about that?

1071
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: Incredible that that right there? Really like all of what happened.

1072
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: But to see him do that from the things that

1073
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 1: he's gone through from the University of Miami right to now,

1074
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you too, unbelievable. So, you know, Hall

1075
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: of Famer, I think absolutely he gets he gets downgraded

1076
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,919
Speaker 1: because he's they say, what is an aggregator? He's played

1077
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: so long, of course he's gonna have numbers well at

1078
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: that spot in that position. Yeah, that's Hall of Fame

1079
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: just hanging in the league. That wrong, right, I Mean,

1080
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: nobody's plays when they're thirty six years old certainly don't

1081
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: rush for one hundred yards against New England. Patron. I

1082
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: think I think he's the oldest player to ever rush

1083
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: for over one hundred yards, right at that at the

1084
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: thirty six years, one hundred and thirty eight days or

1085
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, so yeah, I mean yeah, And

1086
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: and like we've said before, and like I've said before,

1087
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: everything with this guy has been downhill. Yeah, there hasn't

1088
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: been a lot of outside runs. It's been down here.

1089
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: From San Francisco with Greg Roman there, going to Miami,

1090
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: going to the coach and coming here. I mean, look

1091
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: where all this great runs were this past Sunday, right

1092
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: right between the guards. So yeah, I gotta love just

1093
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: take my hat off to him. He got a nice

1094
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: shout out from a good friend of mine, Barret Sanders.

1095
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah on Twitter, you know, so, I mean, that's that's

1096
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: an elite club. You can tell too. It means something.

1097
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: It meant something to him here from really definitely did

1098
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: mean something to him, you know, coming from you know,

1099
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: probably the most exciting player that I've ever seen. Sanders

1100
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: tweets out welcome to the fifteen thousand club Frank Gore,

1101
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: and Gore responds, this is big, nothing but respecting, but

1102
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: respect you know him, Barry, Frank, Emmett, Walter Payton, Right,

1103
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: that's it. It's it. I was laughing and telling me

1104
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: all those guys go by one name, Emmett, Barry, Frank, Swalter. Yeah,

1105
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: they're all. It's they only have one name, all of them.

1106
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: It's like share, you know. Answer your question. Frank or

1107
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: one hundred nine yards, second oldest player in second to

1108
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: run for one hundred The other one was it was

1109
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: John Riggins. Nope, I guess Kansas City Chiefs nineteen and

1110
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: seventy eight. No, MacArthur Lane, and he was about sixty

1111
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: days older than Frank Gore. He ran for one hundred

1112
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 1: and forty four yards with Kansas City here in Buffalo,

1113
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight, thirty six years old. One hundred yards

1114
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: or more. Amazing. So, as a professional, former professional running

1115
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: back on a Hall of Famer, how would you describe

1116
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: Frank Gore's style? I mean, how does bru I mean

1117
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: go ahead? I don't know. How does he manage to

1118
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: last that long? He's taken it. He's saying this, but

1119
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: I think, and I've said this a lot guys that

1120
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: come out of Florida that go to the University of Miami,

1121
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: they are a different breed. Just just guys. Um. Michael

1122
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: Irvin was like that. Michael Irvan probably Michael Ivan probably

1123
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 1: would still be playing today because he worked out every

1124
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 1: single day. Yeah, those guys from from from Florida, from

1125
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: go to Miami, who go to Miami, it's northern school.

1126
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: It's like that. And I take take my hat off

1127
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: to him. I tell you the truth too. It's funny

1128
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned that we were playing in a Canadian and

1129
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: an American Bowl in Toronto against the Cowboys. So we're

1130
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: out there, they're on the pre game stuff and it's preseason.

1131
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the second or third preseason games

1132
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: for us and all. You know, So you've been training

1133
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: camp for like three weeks. We're out there a couple

1134
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: of the day before the game. It's like the picture day.

1135
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: Michael Irvan's running sixteen one tens on the side. Just

1136
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,720
Speaker 1: he's over there running. He's like drenched in sweat, running

1137
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: up and down that. And security he's like going and

1138
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: Charlie jorder the security games. That excuse me, Sirrey and

1139
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: Mike said, listen, I'm getting them in. I'm getting my

1140
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: sixteen one tens in, So just stay away. He's still

1141
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: all of us were over there just taking pictures, you know,

1142
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: and you know, breaking gatorade. It's been an amazing run

1143
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, it's been an amazing run for him.

1144
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even really sit up here and

1145
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: think about anytime he's been hurt. Yeah, because he's been

1146
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: so valuable to every team that he's been to. So

1147
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I take my hat off to him.

1148
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: I hope he continues to play well here in Buffalo. Yeah,

1149
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: during time it's Hall of Famer in studio with us

1150
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, John Murphy. Here as we make our way

1151
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 1: through this thurs Day, let me ask you about another

1152
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: Buffalo running back, Devin Singletary, hasn't played now in a

1153
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They what are they missing when they

1154
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: don't have Singletary in the line. Well, you know what

1155
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: I think you're missing probably some of the screens catching

1156
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: a ball in the flat, having an opportunity to go

1157
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: one on one with a linebacker or a defensive back

1158
00:55:54,239 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 1: who's probably U covering him. I know Sheldon that a

1159
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: couple of times had a long pass from from Josh.

1160
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he he brings the element to

1161
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: the game in which his speed can really take advantage

1162
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: of somebody like a linebacker who's covering him. So I

1163
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be the week that he's

1164
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: come back, but obviously, you know, I think a lot

1165
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: of people said, you know, if that was Singletary instead

1166
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: of Frank Gore, it'll been a touchdown. Yeah, and it

1167
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: probably would have. Maybe. I don't know. He's got what

1168
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: the thing that astounds me about him is and when

1169
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: he's in a tight spot, it ain't he ain't going down.

1170
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: In fact, he may come out of their untouched. You know,

1171
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: he's got that ability, that vision to avoid contact even

1172
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: in tight, tight spaces. Uh. We saw that in the

1173
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: preseason and just some amazing vision, I think, and that's

1174
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: what Brandon being said about. He's got elite vision and

1175
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that gives him the chance

1176
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: to find some space. He sees it where other guys

1177
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: just it's not even in their field of vision. Yeah,

1178
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: and that's why I hate to see that he's been

1179
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: injured the past couple of games ago. If we want

1180
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: to see Hi, Yeah, obviously we want to see him

1181
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: as as former players and fans, you know, see how

1182
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: much of a difference that he can make, you know,

1183
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: with his offense and throughout the league. I think he's

1184
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a damn good football player. One of the

1185
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,320
Speaker 1: things I want to ask you about this game last Sunday,

1186
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: I think day Ball tried early on in the game,

1187
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: and I want to ask you how you importantly think

1188
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: it is this week? And I said, you know, the

1189
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: first three throws Josh threw, he got one batted down,

1190
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: then he got he missed Cole Beasley in the left

1191
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: flat and by a mile, and then he overthrew Frank

1192
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: Gore and the other flat he can went out over

1193
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: three And it seemed to me obvious day Balls just

1194
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: giving him some easy things to get started with. I

1195
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: think that's really important for him. I think it's really

1196
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: important for him. I mean, that's what we've all we

1197
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: talked about what Josh Allen is the accuracy, and he

1198
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: gave him some easy throws too complete. He was so

1199
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: stoked about that game. He couldn't I know, he couldn't

1200
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: have thrown it into the lake off a dock, I know,

1201
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: and I think that was a great job, but by

1202
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: dabs give him some opportunity to relax to complete some throws,

1203
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: and it went totally opposite of the way that it

1204
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: was supposed to go, and he struggled for the rest

1205
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: of the game. We laugh about it now because did

1206
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: you see the video of day Ball on the sideline

1207
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: giving it given it to him later in the game

1208
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: after you're thrown a couple of pigs and Murph and

1209
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: I've been talking about it. Day Ball is just beside

1210
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: himself because you can see it, and I've seen it

1211
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: with coach unfortunate seen coaches to do it with me.

1212
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: They tell you something about a thousand times, you go

1213
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: out and just do the opposite because they heat of

1214
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: the game, something happened, something gets in your vision, and

1215
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, you just do the

1216
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: thing that they told you exactly not to do. And

1217
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: you can just tell Josh seems to have done exactly

1218
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: what day Ball had just preached and preached and preached

1219
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: not to do. And day Ball is just so upset. Yeah,

1220
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: And you know what I mean, it was old there.

1221
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: It is right there. But that's what you're supposed to do.

1222
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: And the thing that I wish Josh would have did

1223
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: right there was looking him into John had his head

1224
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: down the whole time because he didn't want to hear,

1225
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: because he knew that Dabs told him that's not what

1226
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. Throw the ball away. So I

1227
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: think it would have been more for Josh to really

1228
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: look at Dabs and say, okay, all right, I'm looking

1229
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: at it out. You're giving it to me right now,

1230
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: instead of having his head down. I mean, you want

1231
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: to be It's hard to take that, man, when you

1232
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: know you're raw. You deserve it after, you know, after

1233
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: the game. You know, Jim sent the text that said,

1234
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,479
Speaker 1: you know, during the offseason or whatever. We went over

1235
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: this a thousand times about talking Jim after. I was like,

1236
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: Jim just shut up. He was so beside himself, Murphy,

1237
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: but oh he's I told him. Jay. I was like,

1238
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: oh God, yeah, Jim was. Jim had moments early in

1239
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: his tenure here where he was throwing picks. You may

1240
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:54,959
Speaker 1: not Jim didn't. Jim didn't care either. He can't throw

1241
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: it all of famer Thurman Thomas in studio with his son.

1242
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: You have any thoughts trying to Tennessee uh running back

1243
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. He's he's he's a big, powerful back and

1244
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: he's productive and he has been now for a couple

1245
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: of years. What do you make him? Well, you want

1246
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: to talk about one of those running backs that they

1247
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: talk about when they reached thirty, they're gonna be probably

1248
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: under last let he's one of them guys because he's

1249
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: a pounder. He's a pounder and that's what and that's

1250
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: what Tennessee wants to do. Really, you know, I'm sure

1251
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna probably he's probably gonna get thirty carriages and

1252
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: more coming up this Sunday against the Bills last week

1253
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven last week. You know, he's kind of you know,

1254
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: him and literally Fournette are kind of like the same

1255
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: guy almost, and but you know this guy is you know,

1256
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: who did they have there last year a couple of

1257
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: years ago that he was kind of splitting time. But

1258
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: I can't think of the running back name now. He's

1259
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: just kind of just taken over. I mean, he had

1260
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: a ninety nine yard touchdown run last year. So they

1261
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: want to get this guy to football. I mean, he's

1262
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: a big, physical guy. They want to wear down the defense.

1263
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: What do you think about the philosophy Most of these

1264
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: teams are kind of adopting, and now unfortunately they're using

1265
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: these guys up. They can't find a quarterback. Yeah, they

1266
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: can't find a quarterback. And I and I said last

1267
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: year or two years ago, the Breezes, the Bradies, the Mannings,

1268
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 1: they're all gonna be Yeah, they're all gonna be gone.

1269
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: And they're looking for that guy. You know, Marcus, Marcus Mariotto.

1270
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: He's not the guy. He's not the guy, and he's

1271
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: a draft back. Yeah. There are younger guys that are

1272
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: coming in that are kind of okay. They don't have

1273
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: a running game, so you're kind of almost forced to

1274
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball forty fifty times a game. And I

1275
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: think when you draft these quarterbacks now, they're looking at

1276
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: their college stats. I just got through the ball sixty

1277
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: times in one game, fifty times in one game. So

1278
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: the philosophies are change. But if you don't have a quarterback, yeah,

1279
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: you're definitely gonna have to draft a nice high running back,

1280
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: although people say that's not good for the team. Well,

1281
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: if you don't have a quarterback, that's your next Becks

1282
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: option to draft run it back. That's really great. During

1283
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: the Bills go to Nashville to play the Titans and um,

1284
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: the Music City Miracle. You believe that was twenty years ago.

1285
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: And when the Titans won that game, twenty years and

1286
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: they went, yeah, it's a good question, right. I still

1287
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: don't think they want to get on either. Yeah. I's

1288
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: been twenty years, twenty years in January, twenty years in January,

1289
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: and we had that game too. Well, that's kind of

1290
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: what I wanted to get to talking about whatever. Recall

1291
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: about that. Well, you know what, Murphy, I was actually

1292
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I got hurt on the series, on that final series

1293
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: for the Bills and Christie kickerfield goal, yeah, to put

1294
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 1: his head go. Yeah, And I got hurt on that series.

1295
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: And I was actually sitting at the tunnel watching it.

1296
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: Really I didn't Yeah, I was not on the sideline

1297
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: I had. You were done for that. I was done

1298
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: for today. I didn't know if I was gonna play

1299
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: next week. Yeah. And uh, And I'm sitting here watching

1300
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: this and watching this and and I just coming at you,

1301
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: Kevin dis Yeah, and I'm just I just turned around

1302
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: and went into the locker room room and we're like,

1303
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know what happened, but from

1304
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: the crowd's reaction when they said it was a touchdown,

1305
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,919
Speaker 1: I mean I knew obviously what had happened. Then Yeah,

1306
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: it's uh man, we should have won that game. Yeah, man,

1307
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,959
Speaker 1: we should have won. I think we won that game.

1308
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Oh the Colts next week. But you think about it, though,

1309
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: if that call goes hour away, you probably never heard

1310
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: from them refs. Again, what do you mean? Yeah, they

1311
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: had disappeared out of they wouldn't have made thee. They

1312
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: fired him as a ref after that game? Did they

1313
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: really official? He was an't official after? It wasn't a Well,

1314
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: yeah that was I've said this to people. That locker

1315
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: room post game was maybe the most just it wasn't

1316
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: like a professional football locker room. People were so upset

1317
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: and so emotional. Mercellist Wiey and others. Everybody was so

1318
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: upset about that. That was everybody wild. Yeah, everybody was.

1319
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: And then you know we had and never mind, ain't

1320
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: gonna say it. Oh now I gotta know, Well, that's

1321
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: all right, somebody in the locker room. Oh that's okay.

1322
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 1: It was months later somebody said something, but that's okay.

1323
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: Go ahead, did I know? Not you somebody that was

1324
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: in that locker room? Okay, all right, yeah find out

1325
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: in a break, Yeah, sure you will. Now I want

1326
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: to know. But twenty years which struck me this week,

1327
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: and there have been eight games since then. It's it's

1328
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: ancient history, and yet people still that's how important that

1329
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: moment was. People still think about talk about it. Yeah,

1330
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean they talk about it, just like they talk

1331
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: about the greatest comeback and building in the NFL history.

1332
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's one of those games that it

1333
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't have happened. It really shouldn't have happened. I think

1334
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: after that game, you know who was fired? Somebody got

1335
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,919
Speaker 1: fired Jack Pardy, No, which for the build? Oh yeah,

1336
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Bruce Haven. Bruce Haven. Yeah, Bruce Haven got fired for that.

1337
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean it's lost his job, he lost

1338
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: his job on that. But yeah, I mean it's I

1339
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,959
Speaker 1: have yeah those games, um, yeah, their iconic plays that happen.

1340
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: And you know where was that on the countdown? I

1341
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I think I know it was. I think

1342
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: it was top ten, top twenty, really, but I'm not sure.

1343
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I can't really remember all those games

1344
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: that happened like those plays that happened like that are

1345
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: in playoff games, you know, the ones that mean something.

1346
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: And that was the game. Uh, and that team, the

1347
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: Titan team went to the super Bowl. That's the team.

1348
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: That's the team. I remember. I was working for CBS

1349
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: at the time. I said, the winner of this game,

1350
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: and I started the week before, in week seventeen of

1351
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: the season, I circled here's the matchups, here's who you know,

1352
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: this will be on CBS and all this. I circled

1353
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: the Titan Bills game and I said, the winner of

1354
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: that game is going to the super Bowl in the AFC. Wow,

1355
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: that was right. You're right. It's the only thing I've

1356
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: ever gotten right in my life, and I should have

1357
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: been wrong. Term road game here, do you have a

1358
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: road game routine that you go through? Do you watch

1359
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: you watch a game at home on TV? Yeah? I

1360
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,560

1443
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: I've been telling Steve and I've watched Titans a couple

1444
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: of games already this week. Um, they're they're capable, aren't they.

1445
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: They're not a bad team. Nine wins each of the

1446
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: last three years, and that's within retrain. Now we're they're

1447
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: sitting there at two and two, isn't it. Yeah, joh,

1448
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: this is a it's a solid it's a solid football team.

1449
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: And I mean I think it's like most of the

1450
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: team now in the National Football League. What have we

1451
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: got right now? Thirteen two and two teams in the league.

1452
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: You know, we've got, you know, the only three undefeated

1453
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: teams you know right now? I mean, you know, the

1454
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: league is very very close. And the Titans here, as

1455
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: you said, in the last three years, nine and seven,

1456
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: which is which is okay? I mean, it's not good enough.

1457
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: It's not what any of us strive for when we're

1458
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: coaching or playing in the league. But clearly, I mean

1459
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: the thing that you and I know Steve knows this,

1460
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 1: you do. You know it too. It's so do your listeners.

1461
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: It's hard to win every Sunday, Monday or Thursday, whenever

1462
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: you light up. And so I mean you never you

1463
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,679
Speaker 1: never take any type of win for granted. This football

1464
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: team has steadily been you know, being built uh, you

1465
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 1: know by John Robinson and of course down Mike and

1466
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Rabel as the head coach and Amy Adams Strunk as

1467
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,480
Speaker 1: the owner, has done a whole lot for this organization

1468
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: since she has taken it over. But they really want

1469
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: to take that next step. But to do that, you know,

1470
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to win. You've got to

1471
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: be able to win consistently. I think consistent winning in

1472
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League is really harder to sustain than

1473
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: people know. Are they getting better week to week? I

1474
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: know they get Taylor Luan back, He's going to help

1475
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: out them them out up front on the offensive line,

1476
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: They've kind of got Derrick Henry rolling along and Marcus

1477
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: mariotas you have to throw an interception. They seem to

1478
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a different, a little uptick

1479
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: from where they were a year ago when they were

1480
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: nine and seven, nine and seven, nine and seven. They

1481
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: may be just a hair better than that this year,

1482
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: couldn't they You don't want Yeah, you know, Stephen, here's

1483
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: here's the same. Here's the thing that is with this

1484
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: football team. I mean, you know, they had a really

1485
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: nice offseason. They came out of that that's really well coached,

1486
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: just like your football team is there. I'm very familiar with,

1487
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, with Sean and Les Frazier, and I mean,

1488
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, I know that staff. There's a very good

1489
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 1: football staff and this team a really good staff too.

1490
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: And you can when you're around it, because you know,

1491
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm around all the time year and you can tell

1492
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: in in practice, I mean, you know how well organized

1493
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: it is. What. And they went up and really had

1494
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: a nice start to the season, you know, against Cleveland,

1495
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: because Cleveland had all the preseason hype, you know, but

1496
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: they went up there and pretty much went to work.

1497
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: But then the next two ball games that were division

1498
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 1: ball games, they did not perform well enough to win.

1499
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden, you get a big

1500
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:28,759
Speaker 1: start and everybody's feeling really good, and then you dropped.

1501
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: You dropped two division games in a row at home

1502
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: against Indie and then going a short week to a

1503
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: Thursday down to Jacksonville and lose that one, and then

1504
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, the mood starts to

1505
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: flip a little bit. Uh. They and they used that

1506
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: Thursday night game kind of as a mini bye week reset,

1507
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: went out and reset, and then and came back and

1508
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: played a really nice game against against the Atlanta team

1509
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 1: down there Mercedes ben Stadium. So they've they've got the

1510
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: capabilities of being a good, solid football team. They just

1511
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: just like any buddy else. You know. First of all,

1512
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the first people that they cannot let defeat them on

1513
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: Sunday is themselves. And as he said, don't turn the

1514
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 1: football over, you know, be able to stay ahead of

1515
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: the chains, do all of those things, protect your quarterback

1516
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 1: and getting Taylor Lauan back will be a big aid

1517
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: in that coach. Where are they with Marcus Mariota, who

1518
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 1: has good moments and also as a mother head scratching moments.

1519
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: What do they think of him and what do they

1520
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: think of his future with that franchise? Well, you know what,

1521
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 1: and that's all that's all to be determined. But here's

1522
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 1: here's what Marcus Mariota have. I think you know, you

1523
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: can talk to tell and Steve will tell you this

1524
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: dude just sitting there. Being a former professional athlete himself,

1525
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 1: I've been in I've been in the league a long time.

1526
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 1: All a player wants this league is a chance to

1527
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: be able to buy his performance, earn you know something

1528
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: for himself in the future. And that's what Marcus has here.

1529
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they believe in Marcus Mariota here, but he's

1530
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: gotta you know, he's gotta prove it on the field,

1531
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: just like every player in the National Football League. Does

1532
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: you know when I first went to work thirty four

1533
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: years ago from Mike dickens Ago, and I was really

1534
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 1: a young coach, one of the youngest in the league

1535
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: at the time by far, because there was only eight

1536
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: coaches on staffed what twenty eight like there are there

1537
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: are now. And he told me one thing, he said,

1538
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, kid, you know, I know you're excited to

1539
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: be here. We're glad to have you here, and we

1540
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: hired you because we know you can do the job.

1541
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: But just remember, every day in the National Football League

1542
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 1: is an interview and I've never forgotten that. And it's

1543
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 1: and that, and so that's that's where Marcus is something.

1544
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: He's got a chance this year to do something for

1545
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: this team, for himself and for his future. But he's

1546
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: got to perform every week. How has he played this year? Well,

1547
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: he's played, he's played. He's played, he's played, he's played good,

1548
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: and he's and then he's played, uh that there's been

1549
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: some things that that that he could he can get

1550
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 1: better at, and he's constantly, you know, working on trying

1551
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:45,679
Speaker 1: to improve. And so at the quarterback that you guys

1552
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: well know in the National Football League the two highest

1553
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: profile jobs are the quarterback and the head coach. So

1554
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,759
Speaker 1: when things are going good and you're winning ball games,

1555
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: everybody thinks everything's perfect. That's never the case. When you're

1556
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 1: losing ball game, everybody thinks on the outside thinks everything

1557
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: is completely lost and totally out of control. That's not

1558
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: the truth. What what what Marcus has to do, just

1559
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 1: like everybody else on this team, is find a line

1560
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: of consistency and then and be able to maintain that

1561
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 1: and start stacking wins doing that. What do you think

1562
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans are going to think about the Buffalo Bills.

1563
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 1: What's what's going to be their plan of attack at

1564
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: home against this team? Well, I can't give you the

1565
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: game plan because I don't know it. I'm not in

1566
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 1: those speeching rooms anymore. But I do know this when

1567
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 1: you watch, when you watch, when you watch Buffalo on tape,

1568
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: which I you know, I prepare for every broadcast, just

1569
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: like I'm still coaching, so I'll grind the tape pretty good.

1570
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,879
Speaker 1: It's a very well coached team. It's a very physical

1571
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: football team, and I mean it doesn't surprise me at all.

1572
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: But they're very they're they're they're they're physical. They've got

1573
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,480
Speaker 1: they've got you know, my eyes going to the linebackers,

1574
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 1: because that's how I cut my teeth in this league.

1575
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: You know, I think Edmunds and Milano back there at

1576
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: alex And I like the way they play. I like

1577
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: the way the deep end place in sync. I think

1578
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: that secondary back there is extremely good. I think that's

1579
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: an extremely underrated secondary in this league. They play great,

1580
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:12,600
Speaker 1: great team defense. And then and of course, you know,

1581
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: Frank Gore to me is a is a medical marvel.

1582
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I've I've coached against Gore

1583
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: and he's been in this league forever and has been

1584
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: productives and continues to be productives. So I know what

1585
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: they're looking at. I mean, they're looking at a physical

1586
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: football team that doesn't beat themselves. And that's that's it.

1587
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: That's those types of football teams. When you get ready

1588
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: to play them, you know that you are going to

1589
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: have to win the ball game. They're not going to

1590
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 1: lose it in themselves. We're on the line with Dave

1591
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: mc ginnis, color analysts on the Tennessee Titans Radio Network,

1592
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: talking about Sunday's Bills Titans game. I wonder, Dave, the

1593
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: Bills just come off a loss, close loss to the Patriots,

1594
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: and with Mike Rabel's New England background, does the Tennessee

1595
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: defense I know the person I was totally different, but

1596
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: does their scheme, does their philosophy resemble what the Patriots do?

1597
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: And and will they employ that against Buffalo this week? Seat,

1598
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 1: You know that when you're coaching, you know, and when

1599
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: you move up through the ranks and coaching you always

1600
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: take a little piece of everywhere that you've been with you.

1601
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: You know this clearly, this, this clearly is is a

1602
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: really good mix of of of DMPs. You know, the

1603
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: coordinator here who does a tremendous job and has had

1604
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 1: a great history in this league, and and Mike Rabel

1605
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: and I think, look, guys, more and more, and you

1606
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: guys know this more and more you go into you

1607
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: you get a base built during the OTAs and during

1608
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 1: training camp, but then you start getting so scheme specific

1609
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: and so a team specific when you start going into

1610
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 1: game planning because you know it changes week to week

1611
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: to week. It changes with who you have available and

1612
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 1: what you're going to be able to do. And it

1613
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: also it changes week to week to week as far

1614
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: as as who the top people are. BEFO, we're talking

1615
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: about defensive game planning that you're trying to take away

1616
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,679
Speaker 1: from your opponent. So you know, it's it's it's a defense.

1617
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 1: It's got a good solid base to it, but they

1618
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: can do a lot of movable parts in it. I'm

1619
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 1: want to ask you about their run game with Derrick Henry.

1620
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 1: He's a kind of back that I mean, they're really

1621
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: leaning on him. He had a lot of it, gets

1622
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: a lot of touches, and he's a big hammer. Uh,

1623
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 1: just describe what their philosophy is using him the way

1624
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: they do well. I mean, you know, when you've got it,

1625
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: when you've got a big you get a back like

1626
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: you get a back like that, and and again people

1627
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:21,679
Speaker 1: can load up to stop a back for a while.

1628
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: But the thing you have to be willing to do

1629
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: is be willing to you know, continue to dent the

1630
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: wall that you know the defenses try to build, you know,

1631
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 1: to stop a big running attack. I mean, just a

1632
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, you know, they retired Eddie George's

1633
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: and Steve McNair's jersey here. Uh, you know, and Eddie

1634
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: George was that type of back. And I remember, you

1635
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 1: know when I coached here with Jeff Fisher. I mean,

1636
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna hand that ball to him and hand that

1637
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: ball to him, and you're not going to break big

1638
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: runs all the time. But if you've got a big,

1639
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: physical back that is able to withstand it, you know,

1640
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 1: for for four quarters, well, then sooner or later, if

1641
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 1: you find a little crease or a little crack, you

1642
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 1: know that that that's what you do. I mean, you

1643
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: you've been around great backs. You know, your time there,

1644
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 1: your time there with Buffalo. I started my years out

1645
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: in the league with Walter Bate and I mean, believe me,

1646
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: every time we handed Walter the ball, I mean it

1647
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: wasn't a big game. But sooner or later, if you've

1648
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: got a if you've got a real workhorse, physical back,

1649
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: they begin to wear on people. And that's that's what

1650
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 1: That's what everybody tries to do. That's what you guys

1651
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: are doing. With Frank Gore coach. You want to ask

1652
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: about another running back, and he's a Western New Yorker.

1653
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: He's from Lockport, David Flewellen, who has had trouble staying

1654
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 1: healthy so far. I wage right, yeah, yeah, flu had

1655
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 1: had trouble staying healthy. And then then they really like

1656

Speaker 1: really gets it. You know, for a young head coach,

1677
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: he gets it. There's a lot of things as a

1678
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:29,439
Speaker 1: head coach. I mean, you know, first time head coach

1682
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: Football really is the problem is the easiest part of it.

1683
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:41,640
Speaker 1: The rest of it is dealing with everything else that

1684
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 1: comes with being a CEO of one of these thirty

1685
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 1: two thirty two franchises. I mean I found that out

1686
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 1: when I was when I was a head coach. He's

1687
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: and he does such a good job. He's got he's

1688
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: got a complete command of the football team, immediate respect,

1689
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, because just because of the way he played,

1690
01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 1: and then the way he handles his players. I mean,

1691
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: I uh, you know, I love watching the way I

1692
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: mean he'll get down with him his practice, Uh does

1693
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: it all the time. He relates to him very well.

1694
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he he just gets it, and and and

1695
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: and to me, it was a it was a it

1696
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 1: was a really good hire. He's going to be a

1697
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: very successful coach in this league for a lot of reasons,

1698
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: but just the fact that that that he's he really

1699
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,879
Speaker 1: understands that he's a good human being. He treats everybody

1700
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: with respect, and he treats and he just he makes

1701
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 1: it all about the team and none about him. And so, uh,

1702
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 1: he creates a good environment here. He and John Robinson,

1703
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, create a great environment here. Coach. I got

1704
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: one more local to ask you about. And I think

1705
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: folks in Buffalo should know that Tennessee punter Brett Kern

1706
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: is really one of the best putters in the league,

1707
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: isn't He's been to the Pro Bowl? Oh wow? I

1708
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: mean this guy is this guy is a weapon and

1709
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: and and people don't understand. You know that the special

1710
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 1: teams special teams, and we've got one of the best

1711
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,679
Speaker 1: that's ever played it in the league, you know, sitting

1712
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: right there, special teams is so important, especially now as

1713
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: even as everybody is flip of field position and being

1714
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 1: able to and being able to set up your field

1715
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: position both offensive and defensively. And then there are so

1716
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 1: many intricate things that go into all elements of the

1717
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,600
Speaker 1: Big Four on the special teams, especially especially you know,

1718
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 1: the punning team, angle punts, all those types of things.

1719
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:21,679
Speaker 1: You know, various different ways to free up your gunners.

1720
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much that goes into it. And

1721
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 1: and and I you know, I used to really get

1722
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 1: and I still do. You know, because I do a

1723
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: lot with the draft. People say, oh, well he might

1724
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: be a special teams player. Well wait a minute, especial

1725
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: just think about it. There's a lot to learn about

1726
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: being a special teams player. And if you have a

1727
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 1: punter that can place the ball where you want it

1728
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 1: and it can strategically use him, it is so so

1729

Speaker 1: big and he's one of the best. I've never been around, Dave.

1737
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:07,240

1748
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: that move to the to the NFC West. He was

Speaker 1: votes sets a lot. Let's take some phone calls on

1806
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: this topic. In particular, Let's go to Milton in Buffalo. Hello, Milton, Hey,

1807
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: are you doing okay? Yeah? Far as the QB, I

1808
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: mean to me, it doesn't matter. We just need a

1809
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: QB period because the rest of the team's perfect, So

1810
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:50,560
Speaker 1: we need a QB. And man, we could take it

1811
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:52,599
Speaker 1: all the way to the super Bowl. And Josh Allen

1812
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: doesn't fit that bill for you. I mean, he does

1813
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: what he got it. He has to do better because

1814
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: we could. Those first three games would have been blown out.

1815
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 1: It would have been close, and this and we'd have

1816
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 1: been four and old. And this game right now that

1817
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 1: is coming up is a pivotal one. They had tough

1818
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: team and if we get past this this game right here,

1819
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: I'll see it's going like all the way, like ten

1820
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: and one in in a minute. Joh'm saying, I know

1821
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,759
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Well, yeah, that's a that's a big number.

1822
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I get it. You're right, and it has

1823
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: been right. He's right that I'm about to tell you. Okay,

1824
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: he's right about the fact that up to this point

1825
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 1: of the season, if the quarterback doesn't turn it over,

1826
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:33,839
Speaker 1: this team is really difficult to beat. And they almost

1827
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 1: got beat when they turned over, just not enough to

1828
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: lose it. I mean they this is a defense that

1829
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 1: is going to keep this team in the game. Is

1830
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 1: and it's became painfully obvious this last weekend that that's

1831
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: what cost him the game. Those turnovers were the difference

1832
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: in the football game. And so a lot of people,

1833
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,719
Speaker 1: and like Milton, have this idea that, man, this defense

1834
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: is gonna have to go to the Super Bowl, go

1835
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: ten and one, do all the stuff if the offense

1836
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 1: can just do enough not to get in the way.

1837
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that I'm that far away

1838
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: from that. I think the offense is going to have

1839
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: to do more than just not turn it over. But

1840
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 1: it'll be a big step forward if they can just

1841
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 1: go in and do that. Here's Walter in Baltimore. Hello Walter,

1842
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 1: Hey John Hay. See how you guys doing? Pay for taking?

1843
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 1: So I wonder did you guys see Cynthia Freeland's predictions

1844
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 1: about teams chances of making the playoffs? No? I did not.

1845
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:31,479
Speaker 1: I missed it. Hey, Oh so he publish used it

1846
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 1: like a quick video, and you guys already have talked about, like,

1847
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 1: for teams that are three and one, what they're likelihood

1848
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 1: of making the playoffs like in the sixties by historical statistics. Yeah, right,

1849
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: got the Bills ranked as like twenty eight percent chance

1850
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 1: of making the playoffs. He fortified that with a separate

1851
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 1: video that showed their likelihood of beating was I guess

1852
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 1: thinking it's Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and New England in those three

1853
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 1: successive games they have later are like really low, like

1854
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 1: twenty eight to thirty percent chance in each of those

1855
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: games of winning, and that contributes to this. So I'd

1856
01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 1: love to know, like what factors that she's using to

1857
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't know attribute such low choices. I don't know

1858
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 1: if you guys are going to have her on the

1859
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 1: show anytime soon. I know you have her once in

1860
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 1: a while, but I'd love to put her on the spot. Yeah,

1861
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: he's doing that. Bills are so much worse off than

1862
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: a typical free and one team. It's a good question,

1863
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 1: and we don't have players to have her on. She

1864
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: is one of our favorite guests, and she's not just

1865
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:29,720
Speaker 1: throwing darts and guarantee you that she's got she's got

1866
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 1: some evidence. I saw a stat today. I wish I

1867
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:33,759
Speaker 1: had it with me. It's in my office. But teams

1868
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: that start four and four and one rather make the

1869
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,719
Speaker 1: playoffs like seventy four seventy five percent of the time.

1870
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: But she's she's more in depth than that, right, I

1871
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, what do you think it is? At

1872
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 1: sixty three percent of the time, At sixty three point

1873
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:49,760
Speaker 1: something percent that three and one teams make it to

1874
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But what she probably sees is maybe the

1875
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 1: one loss record or the predictive some predictive model about

1876
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 1: how good Baltimore pitch Berg and the other team you're saying,

1877
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:08,679
Speaker 1: which is New England, Uh, some predictive nature about where

1878
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 1: they are in their season and having them back to

1879
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 1: back and rode her home. Whichever however it falls, She's

1880
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 1: got that somehow in the mix. It puts the bills

1881
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: like in the bottom third of the likelihood to make

1882
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, which is crazy. There's all these teams, there

1883
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:27,919
Speaker 1: are two and two and you know them in likelihood.

1884
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 1: I just found it bizarre a little unsettling too. But yeah,

1885
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 1: because she's pretty good life expectations, I know. Yeah, I mean,

1886
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 1: I will say this though, I mean, like everything, I

1887
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 1: say this to analytics people a lot, most of the stuff.

1888
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that they they do this for

1889
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:50,599
Speaker 1: a reason. It gives you an idea of what has

1890
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 1: happened and what But I most for me, all the stuff,

1891
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: even Cynthia Freeland stuff, as good as it is, I

1892
01:30:57,600 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 1: find it very hard to be to depend on it

1893
01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 1: as predictive. I know it puts everything into context, and

1894
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 1: that it keeps you from going way, Hey, there's no

1895
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: way we can miss here, a way we can miss there.

1896
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great here, gonna be terrible there. It's

1897
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 1: rarely do I find these things to be completely accurate

1898
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,960
Speaker 1: and predictive. I know it gives us some context to

1899
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 1: look forward, but I would say that even either way.

1900
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we're this team has this is a

1901
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 1: club that was five and one at one point and

1902
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 1: ended up what ten and six? I mean, this stuff

1903
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,760
Speaker 1: goes south in a hurry if if you don't watch it.

1904
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 1: So I get it. It It can go both ways. But

1905
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 1: I know this, I'd rather much be three and one

1906
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 1: and one and three right now. So uses mathematics and

1907
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:42,120
Speaker 1: it's funny there, but so like what statistics that are

1908
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 1: unique to the bills in there? You know, lofty three

1909
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 1: and one record that makes them look bad many other respects.

1910
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:51,800
Speaker 1: It almost thing would do worse than the typical free

1911
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: and one team going good question. I don't have the answer. Yeah,

1912
01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't either. We have a lot of guests tomorrow.

1913
01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's happening tomorrow. Do we love having

1914
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: synth you Freeland? I'm able. We'll get her. I saw

1915
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 1: her on one of the fourteen video monitors on her

1916
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 1: control room now and I saw Cynthia Freeland pop up.

1917
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 1: He's been on the last couple of days, and I thought,

1918
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:10,639
Speaker 1: we gotta get her back on the show. Sometimes she's good.

1919
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for your call. Taking a break care Mitch Moore's

1920

01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: and cutting. Ten days after suffering a high ankle spraining

1956
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay, he has not been ruled out of

1957
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 1: their game that's coming Sunday against Minnesota. Minnesota owner shot

1958
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, I got that one wrong. It is

1959
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: a Jaguars owner Shan Khan says he has no plan

1960
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 1: to change trade quarterback Jalen Ramsey, despite Ramsey's request for

1961
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 1: a trade. He made that request a couple of weeks ago.

1962
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 1: No plan in place, according to the owner of the

1963
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars and Bears. Linebacker Roquan Smith says he is

1964
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:31,560
Speaker 1: going to play on Sunday. He has missed several practices

1965
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 1: because of personal reasons. Thursday Night football tonight Rams in

01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:55,559
Speaker 1: And what are you gonna do for the other eighty

1973
01:34:55,560 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 1: one games? Probably nothing quite so much as this. It's

1974
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 1: the opening game, you know, So we're gonna, yeah, We're gonna,

1975
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:04,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna. I'm gonna be at a bunch of them.

1976
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:06,760
Speaker 1: So are you going to the home opening Saturday? I

1977
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 1: wish I was, but I am not. Well, I don't

1978
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 1: think I am. No, I'm not. I'm going. We got

1979
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 1: the Wednesday game. Next Wednesday, they play, Okay, Savers open

1980
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,559
Speaker 1: tonight at Pittsburgh, and of course the UH Instigators will

1981
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:19,640
Speaker 1: have the entire recap from that, although they did do

1982
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 1: recap from the future today. What did I hear Andrew

1983
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Peter say something about six goals for Sidney Crosby and

1984
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo win seven to six or something like that. That's nice,

1985
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,639
Speaker 1: but recap from the future. Yeah, Hey, Mitch more schedule

1986
01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:33,439
Speaker 1: to join us this hour. Not here yet. It's got

1987
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 1: some weight work to do, and as soon as he does,

1988
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:36,639
Speaker 1: we'll get him on the air. But we don't want

1989
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 1: to get you on the air to talk to you

1990
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: about Sunday's game the Bills and Tennessee, which I think

1991
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 1: I get the sense maybe even in contrast, well, certainly

1992
01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 1: last week and even the start of this week, I

1993
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:48,320
Speaker 1: detected Buffalo fans have a little more regard for the

1994
01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: two and two Tennessee Titans as this game approaches, and

1995
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 1: they should. They're better than the other the three Maybe

1996
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 1: they're they're better than the three teams other than the

1997
01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 1: Patriots with the bills of face. I think, I don't know,

1998
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:03,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Bengals better than the Bengals, Yes, better than

1999
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 1: the Giants and Jets. Yes, yes, yeah, I agree with

2000
01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 1: y Bengals defense. I thought was was pretty salty. But this,

2001
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 1: this defensive Tendnessee is really good. So yeah, they've they've

2002
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:15,920
Speaker 1: got their work cut out for him. You can't turn

2003
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: the football over against this crew. We always say it,

2004
01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 1: and it proved to be true against the Patriots. If

2005
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:22,680
Speaker 1: you don't turn it over, you got a chance to

2006
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:25,799
Speaker 1: win because of your defense. I'd love it if this defense,

2007
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, you can't ask them to

2008
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 1: do any more than they're doing, but I guess I will.

2009
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 1: I'd love to get some more turnovers and maybe a

2010
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, sack strip, fumble recovery, a short field for

2011
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 1: the offense. Uh. They get so many three and outs.

2012
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 1: The Patriots had thirteen drives this last week. Seven of

2013
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:48,639
Speaker 1: them were three and outs. That's unbelievable to get Patriots

2014
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 1: in that group off the field more than half the

2015
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 1: time in a three and out, and one of them

2016
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:56,760
Speaker 1: was a four and out. Of the others. So there's

2017
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,320
Speaker 1: eight of the thirteen that were almost virtually three ounce

2018
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:03,839
Speaker 1: it was. It's an amazing day that the Bills defense

2019
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 1: had and sabotaged by a block punt for touchdown. YEP.

2020
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: Basically that's behind NW We got the Titans up ahead,

2021
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 1: and I think you think about what the Titans are

2022
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:18,240
Speaker 1: looking at a lot like what the Bills were looking

2023
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: at last week. You got a defense coming in that

2024
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 1: that this team leans on, and you've got to feel

2025
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 1: like maybe the Titan defense feels like they've got to

2026
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,599
Speaker 1: do something really special to give their offense a chance

2027
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 1: to win. You know, they certainly their offense played very

2028
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:33,760
Speaker 1: well against Atlanta, scored twenty four points, and in Week

2029
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 1: one they scored forty forty two forty three against the

2030
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. So it's you know, they think they they've

2031
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,599
Speaker 1: got to think that they've got that in the tank somewhere. Uh,

2032
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:46,800
Speaker 1: and they probably feel like they may have to do

2033
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 1: that as a defense this week against the Bills defense.

2034
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:52,000
Speaker 1: What do you think about the quarterback question for the Bills?

2035
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 1: What gives Buffalo the best chance to win on Sunday

2036
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: against the Titans, is it? Josh Allen with limited work

2037
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 1: at practice and he remains and concussion protocol, so this

2038
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:03,640
Speaker 1: question could be moot by the time they kick it

2039
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 1: off Sunday. Is that Matt Barkley with a full week

2040
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: of practice, or maybe you don't think it matters. Maybe

2041
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 1: you think the defense is what matters. We got thirteen

2042
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 1: twelve hundred votes in on the Twitter poll. Forty two

2043
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:15,960
Speaker 1: percent of you say it doesn't matter Barkley or Allen.

2044
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:17,759
Speaker 1: The defense is going to win this one for the Bills.

2045
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,760
Speaker 1: Thirty two percent of you say Josh with limited practice

2046
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 1: gives the Bills the best chance to win. Twenty six

2047
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 1: percent Matt Barkley with a full week of practice. Let's

2048
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 1: hear from you eight three five fifty toll free one

2049
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:31,640
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Send it

2050
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 1: a tweet. We can read it on the tweet sheet,

2051
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 1: or just vote the Twitter poll if you want. Let's

2052
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 1: go to Rich in Buffalo. Hello, Rich, go ahead, you're

2053
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,000
Speaker 1: on the air with us. Hi, guys, I know about

2054
01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:42,200
Speaker 1: it's not gonna fit with the team of the show,

2055
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 1: but this is what I have to say. The first

2056
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:48,519
Speaker 1: half of the Patch game, our offense did absolutely nothing. Yeah,

2057
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,280
Speaker 1: what are we doing? The second half. First we go

2058
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 1: to hurry up offense, up Temple, seventy five yard touchdown.

2059
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 1: Here we go game on and the Pats had no

2060
01:38:57,640 --> 01:39:00,680
Speaker 1: answer for that. What are the Bills too? He abandoned.

2061
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 1: Josh is a schoolyard quarterback, and yet Brian Dable wants

2062
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:08,839
Speaker 1: to turn Josh into the slow temple short pass, protect

2063
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 1: the ball, QB. We've had that murph for twenty five years.

2064
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 1: You're drafted a Ferrari and you're trying to turn him

2065
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:20,679
Speaker 1: into a dump truck. The spine offensive around the strength

2066
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:25,439
Speaker 1: and tendency of your quarterbacks. Josh's business. Biggest weakness is

2067
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 1: Brian Dable. And the last time I act, Jack Gables

2068
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:31,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have a resume that constitutes heat some kind of

2069
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,680
Speaker 1: top nights quarterback in the NFL. Let's stop ripping the

2070
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: kids and let's put him in a position to succeed.

2071
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:43,519
Speaker 1: Thanks you guys, all right, Rich, You're totally wrong. Brian

2072
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:45,880
Speaker 1: Dable has a great resume. He worked with Tom Brady

2073
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 1: for a while for a long time in New England.

2074
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: He also was had a year with the Alabama Crimson

2075
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:56,600
Speaker 1: Tide and won a national championship. And he won that

2076
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:59,240
Speaker 1: national Championship by making a gutsy play call in the

2077
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 1: last half of a game where they had to have

2078
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 1: a play to win it. He made the play call

2079
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:05,759
Speaker 1: and the kid carried it out and they won. Brian

2080
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:09,759
Speaker 1: Daball and don't think that Brian Daball is doing anything

2081
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 1: to stifle Josh Allen's ability to play well. Nothing could

2082
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 1: be further from the truth. They're doing everything they can

2083
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 1: to help this guy get better. And you could see

2084
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:24,720
Speaker 1: the frustration in Dayball's demeanor when he had him on

2085
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:28,639
Speaker 1: the bench the other day. This is not on Brian. Now,

2086
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 1: certainly Brian Dayball has a role to play, no question

2087
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:34,599
Speaker 1: about it. But this is on Josh. This is on Josh.

2088
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:38,080
Speaker 1: They're giving him every bit of help they can give him,

2089
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: and he's getting better. You're not gonna wave some magic

2090
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: wand by coming out and saying we're gonna go up

2091
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:48,439
Speaker 1: tempo and no huddle and that's going to solve all

2092
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 1: our problems. That is crazy talk. You can use it

2093
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 1: at times, no question, you got a chance to use it.

2094
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 1: In New England. They didn't go no huddle against Did

2095
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,240
Speaker 1: they go to huddle in that first drive, second half,

2096
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,680
Speaker 1: first drive a second half they did. Yeah. Yeah, so

2097
01:41:04,240 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 1: they come out and they have some success doing that.

2098
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 1: Don't think that just because they had that drive and

2099
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:12,879
Speaker 1: have been able to do that, that's the the remedy

2100
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna fix Josh Allen or that there there's somehow

2101
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:19,240
Speaker 1: because he had success, now they're not going to do that.

2102
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:22,760
Speaker 1: That's crazy talk. You know what? I um, who, who's

2103
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:24,720
Speaker 1: the caller? I forget his name? Did you Rich? Rich?

2104
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 1: Great passion, I'd love to hear that passion. But the

2105
01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 1: part that got me was when you talked about Josh

2106
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 1: Allen is a schoolyard player and that's what they need

2107
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 1: to do. No, the schoolyards would get you for interceptions, right,

2108
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: the schoolyarders would get you careless with the football. That's

2109
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 1: what they're trying to curb. He does need some constraints.

2110
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: He does need to spend time in the pocket, take

2111
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:46,800
Speaker 1: a look around, and continue to use his athleticism. Uh,

2112
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:48,639
Speaker 1: he needs to run it once in a while. Maybe

2113
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:50,120
Speaker 1: not as often as he has, but he does need

2114
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,200
Speaker 1: to run it once in a while. But schoolyard gets

2115
01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:54,679
Speaker 1: you in trouble. As evidence, I think by last Sunday

2116
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 1: with all those turnovers three interceptions it gets you, Yeah,

2117
01:41:57,479 --> 01:42:00,599
Speaker 1: and a couple of sack strip fum in the pocket.

2118
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 1: He's not holding the bowl, so yeah, I'm totally with Yet,

2119
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:07,400
Speaker 1: Brian Dable has gotten nothing but kudos for the way

2120
01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:10,960
Speaker 1: he's handled Josh Outen this season. Take another call on Josh.

2121
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 1: Brian in Portland on the line with us. Hello Brian,

2122
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:16,880
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey John, Hi Steve, how are you great?

2123
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:21,559
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking my call. I'm just My point

2124
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:23,760
Speaker 1: that I want to make across is that I feel

2125
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:27,000
Speaker 1: like Josh, in my opinion, has to give us the

2126
01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 1: future for the best chance to win in general, especially

2127
01:42:31,080 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 1: with our defense the way it is. How about against Tennessee?

2128
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: That was our question on Twitter? What do you think

2129
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 1: who's the best chance? Who gives them the best chance

2130
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:41,439
Speaker 1: to win against Titans against Italians? My opinion, it has

2131
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: to be Barkley for one reason and one reason only.

2132
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 1: He has more experience, he has the tools to succeed,

2133
01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 1: and he doesn't turn the bowl over as often as

2134
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 1: Josh does. But Josh has also hurt, so in my

2135
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 1: opinion that we should rest Josh, get him right for

2136
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:02,960
Speaker 1: his concussion, and worked on as mechanics while he's hurt.

2137
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 1: Watch some video learn with Dave all Moore during the

2138
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 1: time that he has a practice to do that with

2139
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,439
Speaker 1: him and then did him right and then let him

2140
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 1: come back in and destroy some teams? Okay destroy? Yeah, Look,

2141
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:20,479
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. If he's not healthy, he

2142
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't play, nor should he could even consider it. But

2143
01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 1: I guess the nature of our question is, provided he's

2144
01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: cleared from concussion protocol, Josh Allen, which he has not

2145
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:33,320
Speaker 1: been yet, provided he is healthy, and now we're talking

2146
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 1: about one would think limited snaps at practice, who gives

2147
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 1: you the better chance to win this week? That's a

2148
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 1: nature of our question. And how much how much preparation

2149
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 1: or lack thereof are you comfortable with Josh not having

2150
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 1: and still giving him the ball on Sunday? As I

2151
01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 1: think it's a real question yet, I mean, how comfortable

2152
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:53,000
Speaker 1: are you if he didn't practice yesterday, didn't practice day,

2153
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:56,720
Speaker 1: or at least in a limited basis, and maybe not

2154
01:43:56,800 --> 01:44:01,360
Speaker 1: even tomorrow, and then you know, Okay, finally gets cleared

2155
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 1: on Friday for a Sunday game. Are you are you

2156
01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 1: comfortable plugging him in and letting him go. I mean,

2157
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 1: he's been in the offense for you know, four or

2158
01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:11,599
Speaker 1: five a whole year, plus having all the reps all

2159
01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:15,360
Speaker 1: the way up until this week. Are you comfortable giving

2160
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 1: him the start when Matt Barkley has been out there

2161
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 1: taking the reps and he had a rough outing last week?

2162
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 1: Did Josh and he had a concussion? Do you want

2163
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 1: to plug him right back in when he've got a

2164
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:28,559
Speaker 1: bye week there on the horizon right after this week?

2165
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 1: Or do you feel comfortable with Matt Barkley giving him

2166
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:34,479
Speaker 1: the full week using maybe Josh Allen as an emergency

2167
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: backup because if he doesn't play, he's still on the

2168
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: roster and they haven't signed Mason or Davis Webb yet.

2169
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, there's only two guys on the roster that

2170
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 1: can play. Can I just say that that's a scenario.

2171
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:49,680
Speaker 1: You got to think about what happens. That doesn't make

2172
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: any sense to me. If he's not healthy enough, you

2173
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:54,240
Speaker 1: don't want to risk him as a starter, then why

2174
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 1: do you risk him as a backup that does If

2175
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 1: he's not ready to play, he's got to be inactive.

2176
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 1: He's got to be in I think, and I would

2177
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 1: I would really be puzzled if he would he be

2178
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: as ready as Matt Barkley would be ready if the

2179
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:08,720
Speaker 1: roles were reversed. You know what I'm saying, because Matt

2180
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 1: Barkley stays ready without taking number one reps, just like

2181
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has done this week. I mean, he's been

2182
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 1: in meetings, he's been watching film, He've seen him at practice.

2183
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. I'm not he he would be a

2184
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:21,120
Speaker 1: backup quarterback thinking he's not going to hit the field

2185
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 1: only as an emergency. Yeah, that doesn't matter to me.

2186
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:26,559
Speaker 1: Whether if he's not ready to start, I'd say he's

2187
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 1: got to be an active even if it happens like

2188
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday. Yeah, he's got to start if he's

2189
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 1: ready to play, yes or or yes or what or nothing?

2190
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 1: Put him on inactive and signed signed some of Davis

2191
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 1: Webb Davis Webb to the roster. That's what I think.

2192
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:43,439
Speaker 1: But again, we don't make these decisions, I know. But

2193
01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 1: it's interesting. You gotta somebody's having meetings like this in

2194
01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:48,000
Speaker 1: this building and may as well be You and me

2195
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:51,559
Speaker 1: go ahead and pitch that right. Let's go to Kevin

2196
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 1: and Hamburg. Hello, Kevin, welcome, you're on the air of

2197
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:57,839
Speaker 1: this A good good Um. I don't like the idea

2198
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:02,599
Speaker 1: even the clear Josh, because he's had limited practice against

2199
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:07,120
Speaker 1: a team whose coach is defensive minded. Rabel was a

2200
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:11,000
Speaker 1: defensive minded person, and you don't want to do that

2201
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:13,719
Speaker 1: against the defensive minded guy who is also a great

2202
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 1: defensive player up in New England. And remember some guys

2203
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 1: his team spanked the Super Bowl champion last year pretty

2204
01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:24,920
Speaker 1: horribly like thirty to thirteen. No, I don't make you

2205
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 1: want a guy with limited practice going against a defensive

2206
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:31,639
Speaker 1: minded guy compared to he was like a quarterback or something.

2207
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 1: Gotcha and you know what I I make Thank you for

2208
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:35,560
Speaker 1: your call. You know what makes this question interesting and

2209
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 1: it hits me, Stephen, because that Josh is so young

2210
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:41,840
Speaker 1: and it's fifteen that's all fifteen NFL starts that we

2211
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: can entertain this question. If he were a two or

2212
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:47,439
Speaker 1: three or four year veteran, we'd say, of course, Josh

2213
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 1: is healthy, he's playing right. The fact that he's so

2214
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:54,040
Speaker 1: young makes us, I think a question that is reasonable

2215
01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:55,760
Speaker 1: to ask, who gives you the best chance to win

2216
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:58,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen with his fifteen NFL starts and maybe limited work,

2217
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:01,680
Speaker 1: or the other II, the veteran who's got most of

2218
01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 1: the first team reps a week. You know, he guys,

2219
01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:06,000
Speaker 1: we're a veteran. It wouldn't matter if he didn't practice

2220
01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:09,080
Speaker 1: till Friday. He's still the point now too, where he'll

2221
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:12,080
Speaker 1: get better standing on the sideline watch it just you know,

2222
01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 1: being there, he'll be able to look at some things

2223
01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 1: that Matt Barkley does and they'll be able to talk

2224
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:18,960
Speaker 1: about it and put something and add some things to

2225
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 1: his preparation, his repertoire. And when he sees Matt Barkley

2226
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:26,679
Speaker 1: do an example of something he should do or hasn't

2227
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,000
Speaker 1: been able to do, or he you know, wants to do,

2228
01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:32,120
Speaker 1: it's a reinforcement of some of the things he's teaching.

2229
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 1: So he got much better while he was on the

2230
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,599
Speaker 1: bench last year with an elbow injury. He came back

2231
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:38,760
Speaker 1: and was a much different guy after sitting down for

2232
01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:41,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. So he's still that young in

2233
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:44,320
Speaker 1: his development now. Certainly, like you said, Murder, he was

2234
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:46,680
Speaker 1: two or three years down the road, or even one

2235
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 1: full year down the road. If he's ready, he plays,

2236
01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:51,800
Speaker 1: he'll be ready. Yeah. Yeah, so we wouldn't even have

2237
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:53,720
Speaker 1: to ask this question. But he is so young, I

2238
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:56,720
Speaker 1: think a question has validity here's a Dan in Springville,

2239
01:47:56,840 --> 01:47:58,400
Speaker 1: New York. Hello, Dan, go ahead, you're on the air

2240
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:01,320
Speaker 1: with this, Yeah calling, I'm gonna say on your point,

2241
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:03,880
Speaker 1: lean on the defense a little bit, and uh, number

2242
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: one Avalan's ready to go. He's ready to go. If

2243
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:07,760
Speaker 1: you want to take your time and let him set

2244
01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:09,840
Speaker 1: a week, let him set a week. But you gotta

2245
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,200
Speaker 1: look at I mean you look at like a Brett

2246
01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 1: Fire or whatever. You watch the highlights. How many times

2247
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 1: the coaches say, don't do that, don't do that. Okay, okay,

2248
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: he's good, Like I said, some interceptions, but you gotta

2249
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 1: remember he's going to up to number one defense when

2250
01:48:23,560 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 1: they if you ever look at the reviews when they

2251
01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:28,840
Speaker 1: offers the receiver jumped, the dv's hands were right there.

2252
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's taking shots. Everybody in Buffalo wants a quarterback.

2253
01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:34,639
Speaker 1: Like just listen, you live with him, you die with him.

2254
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:37,800
Speaker 1: But he's still young. Yeah, I agree, I agree, and

2255
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 1: I get it too. There's a little bit of that.

2256
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:42,759
Speaker 1: And we all love seeing Josh make a play because everybody,

2257
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's always like, oh what are you doing?

2258
01:48:44,479 --> 01:48:47,559
Speaker 1: All right? Good job? You know, it's a it's don't

2259
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 1: take that shot and oh yes, okay, good job you

2260
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:52,000
Speaker 1: make because you make the shot. He makes the play.

2261
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:56,479
Speaker 1: But too often these days, and in this early quarter

2262
01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:59,120
Speaker 1: of the season, they've gotten away with the fact that

2263
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 1: he's tried to do some things and it has backfired

2264
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:04,479
Speaker 1: more often than it has not. Certainly he's made some plays,

2265
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 1: but usually the place he's made when he's scrambled around

2266
01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:09,400
Speaker 1: looking looking and throws it underneath or to a guy

2267
01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:11,639
Speaker 1: that's wide open in the zone. In the intermediate areas

2268
01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:14,639
Speaker 1: like Dawson Knox last week and t J Yeldon last week.

2269
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:19,720
Speaker 1: He saw some guys who were open, not deep but short. Uh,

2270
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 1: you know you don't. That's kind of the play I'd

2271
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 1: like to see him make more of rather than trying

2272
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: to hit the home run every time and throwing it

2273
01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:30,800
Speaker 1: into the other to the other team. Thanks, yeah, thanks

2274
01:49:30,840 --> 01:49:33,840
Speaker 1: you a call. Let's go to Joe in Tonawanda. Welcome

2275
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: to the show, Joe. Hi, guys, I'm just wondering how

2276
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:41,560
Speaker 1: tall is Andre Roberts, because since they won't let Williams

2277
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 1: play because I guess he's not fast enough. Uh, I

2278
01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 1: think we need both tall tight ends Sweeney and knocks

2279
01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 1: in the end zone for jump balls because it's still

2280
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:57,679
Speaker 1: a missing ingredient we don't have when when last week

2281
01:49:57,720 --> 01:50:01,120
Speaker 1: did we need that? Like that last that last play

2282
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 1: with Zay Jones. You mean, yeah, well, we just don't

2283
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:09,120
Speaker 1: have a tall guys in the end zone, you know,

2284
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: and they won't let Duke Williams play. So how tall

2285
01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:19,720
Speaker 1: is Andrea Roberts five eleven? He's five eleven? Really Well,

2286
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 1: I guess I'm wrong there, but it's still a missing ingredients.

2287
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:27,000
Speaker 1: I think we need both tall tight ends Sweeney and

2288
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 1: knocks in the end zone for jump balls. And uh

2289
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 1: my thought is I think Berkeley will probably put up

2290
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:36,880
Speaker 1: thirty four points while Josh's average is still fifteen. Your

2291
01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:39,880
Speaker 1: thoughts on that welcome? Maybe what's your point about that?

2292
01:50:40,240 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 1: You think you think Barkley is a better option than

2293
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 1: Josh is Hello, Joe's going he wanted to drop that

2294
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 1: bomb and drop that and drop the mic. I guess

2295
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:51,760
Speaker 1: that's what he say he thinks. Do you think he

2296
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: gets say Barkley's better than Josh? Well, I think yeah,

2297
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if that's the case or not,

2298
01:50:57,439 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what. He's onto the right thing.

2299
01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:02,840
Speaker 1: You've got this offense somehow, some way, has got to

2300
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,120
Speaker 1: find a way to score more points. They got a manufacturer,

2301
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:08,160
Speaker 1: and I think too, you've got a couple of things

2302
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:10,679
Speaker 1: working against you. This last game. Won a missed field

2303
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 1: goal before halftime because we took a sack and put

2304
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 1: us back five yards, and then we also had a

2305
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 1: sack taken later that took us out a field goal

2306
01:51:18,040 --> 01:51:21,280
Speaker 1: range that would have really helped as well. So and

2307
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 1: then we went forward on fourth and three because we

2308
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 1: missed that first field goal. We weren't within three, we

2309
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:27,840
Speaker 1: had to go for it, or felt like we needed

2310
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:29,640
Speaker 1: to go forward on fourth down and three at the

2311
01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 1: goal line fourth and goal on the three, and we

2312
01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:33,200
Speaker 1: didn't get it, so we didn't get a field goal there.

2313
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,719
Speaker 1: There's a lot of opportunities there where the Bill's left

2314
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 1: points on the field that would make a difference in

2315
01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:44,599
Speaker 1: the big picture. But when taking one thing at a time,

2316
01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:46,880
Speaker 1: they they just start to add up. It's not like

2317
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:50,320
Speaker 1: a I don't call it. I put it on the offense,

2318
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:54,640
Speaker 1: for sure, but it's not a single problem that you

2319
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:56,720
Speaker 1: can point to in any of those situations. Sick. One

2320
01:51:56,760 --> 01:51:59,240
Speaker 1: more call on this segment, lou In Williams field go ahead,

2321
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 1: Loui you'reund the air. Yes, I thanks for taking my call. Um.

2322
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:07,679
Speaker 1: You guys, a previous caller had criticized a bit Brian

2323
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,719
Speaker 1: dave Ball, and you guys quickly came to his defense.

2324
01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 1: And I agree, he's got a great resume, but I

2325
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:15,200
Speaker 1: think it would be fair for him to share some

2326
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:20,120
Speaker 1: of the responsibility for Josh's, yeah, not being able to

2327
01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:22,639
Speaker 1: handle the New England defense. I mean, if day Ball

2328
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:25,640
Speaker 1: is that great of a coach, he would think they

2329
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:27,559
Speaker 1: would have been able to react better to that. And

2330
01:52:27,800 --> 01:52:29,040
Speaker 1: let me just stop, be good and lou and I

2331
01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:31,720
Speaker 1: will get back you. But I having to agree to

2332
01:52:31,760 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: a certain extent. And believe me, I'm sure Brian Dable

2333
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:37,200
Speaker 1: feels it like, yeah, darn it, I should have had

2334
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:39,559
Speaker 1: Josh more ready for this, more ready for that. We

2335
01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:41,400
Speaker 1: worked on this. I wanted to see more. He didn't

2336
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:43,840
Speaker 1: walk away from that game last Sunday Brian Dable and

2337
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:46,479
Speaker 1: saying I'm good, I did my job. No way, I'm

2338
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:49,719
Speaker 1: sure he shares. He owned some of that. He owned

2339
01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:51,479
Speaker 1: some of that too, There's no question about it. Yeah,

2340
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:54,679
Speaker 1: he's handling that the right way. He feels. Yeah, he's

2341
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 1: taking total ownership. Plus, not only does he have to

2342
01:52:58,200 --> 01:53:00,719
Speaker 1: do that, he has to go to Josh and Matt

2343
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:06,040
Speaker 1: Barkley and Davis Webb and and you know, the quarterback

2344
01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:08,720
Speaker 1: coach and the whole room. He's got to go in

2345
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 1: there now and show him. Listen, we'll pull this apart.

2346
01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:13,960
Speaker 1: Here's where we all here's what we all did, and

2347
01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 1: here's why it didn't work in this situation. Why it

2348
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:18,800
Speaker 1: did work in this situation. We were right here, we

2349
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:21,479
Speaker 1: were wrong. Here, here's why we were right. Here's why

2350
01:53:21,520 --> 01:53:23,479
Speaker 1: we were wrong. Here's how we can be better. They

2351
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:27,800
Speaker 1: they chew this up and dissect it to find out

2352
01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:29,800
Speaker 1: why it didn't work when they wanted it to work.

2353
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 1: Why they called the exact play, they called what the

2354
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 1: defense did, what the defense should have dictated that our

2355
01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:39,360
Speaker 1: offense get from that defense. All of that stuff gets

2356
01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:43,800
Speaker 1: all churned up and dissected, play by play by play,

2357
01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:48,880
Speaker 1: defensive front by defensive front, secondary, coverage by coverage, route

2358
01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:52,559
Speaker 1: by route, individual guy by individual guy. They all go down. Well,

2359
01:53:52,680 --> 01:53:54,960
Speaker 1: they all take ownership for it, and they dissected together

2360
01:53:55,240 --> 01:53:58,360
Speaker 1: to find out and together they say, hey, listen, let's

2361
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:00,479
Speaker 1: not do make these some of these miss takes again.

2362
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:02,720
Speaker 1: Let's go forward and fix them and lou And in

2363
01:54:02,760 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 1: the case of the Patriots, they put it in a file,

2364
01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 1: probably a computer file for December twenty second or twenty third, saying, hey,

2365
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 1: this is what we saw and let's revisit this when

2366
01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 1: we get there right before Christmas, louis an answer your

2367
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:16,559
Speaker 1: question or address what you had in mind. It tells

2368
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 1: about Brian day Ball. I just hear so much criticism

2369
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 1: of Josh not being able to handle it, and I

2370
01:54:21,920 --> 01:54:24,120
Speaker 1: just thought the coach, you know, we should hold the

2371
01:54:24,160 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 1: coaching partly accountable journey. Oh yeah, they do. And believe me,

2372
01:54:27,280 --> 01:54:30,160
Speaker 1: Josh is getting better and it's not like he's a

2373
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:33,680
Speaker 1: This has not been abject failure. I mean, this guy's

2374
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:37,320
Speaker 1: had It's been a roller coaster, that's all. He's been inconsistent,

2375
01:54:37,360 --> 01:54:40,560
Speaker 1: like young quarterbacks, are you, I mean, he's this isn't

2376
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:44,320
Speaker 1: the first guy to go through ups and downs like this.

2377
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:46,840
Speaker 1: But let's face it, for this three and one and

2378
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 1: some of the plays that he's made in the and

2379
01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 1: the strides that we've seen him make from where he

2380
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,200
Speaker 1: was a year ago at this time, you gotta be

2381
01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 1: pretty optimistic about where he's headed. Luke, thanks for your call.

2382
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: Defense has been solid for the Bills first the season,

2383
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:03,240
Speaker 1: and Leslie Frasier talked about that earlier this week. The

2384
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:06,640
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive coordinator was asked this week if the player's

2385
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:09,320
Speaker 1: familiarity with what he's doing now in his third year,

2386
01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:12,000
Speaker 1: if that plays into how well the defense has played

2387
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:15,120
Speaker 1: so far this season. Here's a defensive coordinator, Leslie Fraser

2388
01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:19,120
Speaker 1: around that. I think if you take a look Jennal

2389
01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 1: or the first before weeks of the season, you can

2390
01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:23,600
Speaker 1: see that the guys have a lot of confidence in

2391
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:28,280
Speaker 1: what they're doing and playing fast and playing physical. A

2392
01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:29,800
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with the familiarity and

2393
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:31,520
Speaker 1: the fact that we've been together for the last three

2394
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:32,960
Speaker 1: years in the jard of it, so that has a

2395
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 1: lot to do with it. And we got some talented

2396
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:38,040
Speaker 1: guys as well. But I do feel like they go

2397
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:41,240
Speaker 1: in the ball games confident. You know. We try to

2398
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:44,840
Speaker 1: put a game plan that they can execute together and

2399
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:46,840
Speaker 1: then it's up to the guys once they get in

2400
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:48,920
Speaker 1: position to be able to make the plays. And we

2401
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:51,120
Speaker 1: got some guys that can make plays. Evidence by what

2402
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:53,240
Speaker 1: Micah did in the end zone and that on that

2403
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:55,720
Speaker 1: one play that he had, I mean, that's that's what

2404
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:59,360
Speaker 1: really playmakers do make plays like that. So I do

2405
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 1: think they have have the attitude that we can play

2406
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:04,920
Speaker 1: with most people that we line up against, and they're

2407
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:09,560
Speaker 1: playing with confidence. That's pretty evident when you watch. I'm yeah,

2408
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:11,120
Speaker 1: they and some of the things they do, and it

2409
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:12,880
Speaker 1: sounds crazy. I used to say this all the time

2410
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 1: in the booth with CBS, and you watch a lot

2411
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:18,400
Speaker 1: of football like I do, and did even more than

2412
01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:24,400
Speaker 1: good defenses do things, some pretty spasic things pretty well.

2413
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 1: When one guy runs to the ball, he makes the tackle.

2414
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:30,520
Speaker 1: You don't see broken tackles. You don't see a guy

2415
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 1: stiff arming a guy and leaving him in the dirt

2416
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:34,440
Speaker 1: and running off and leaving him. You know, the first

2417
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 1: guy to the ball gets the guy on the ground.

2418
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:38,880
Speaker 1: We've seen Matt Malana do that in space. It's been

2419
01:56:38,920 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 1: a real asset for this defense with Milano being to

2420
01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 1: catch backs, being able to catch backs out of the

2421
01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 1: backfield out why to the side of the field in

2422
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:48,400
Speaker 1: some space and they just can't get away from there

2423
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:52,680
Speaker 1: on the ground. You see the same thing with Tremaine Edmonds.

2424
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:55,160
Speaker 1: He rushes the line of scrimmage and he plays on

2425
01:56:55,200 --> 01:56:56,920
Speaker 1: the other side of the line of scrimmage. A lot

2426
01:56:56,960 --> 01:56:59,640
Speaker 1: in their running game. That's been a huge plus for them.

2427
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:02,680
Speaker 1: You see Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde up in the box,

2428
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:07,440
Speaker 1: stepping up into the running game, fast and quick and decisive.

2429
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:11,040
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is the first guy there

2430
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 1: makes makes the tackle. End of course, their help arrives

2431
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, but it's pretty simple and you got you

2432
01:57:17,680 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 1: watch them on film and this team, they just seem

2433
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:23,760
Speaker 1: to know where to be and that mean they get

2434
01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:25,800
Speaker 1: there in a hurry. Wherever they are supposed to be,

2435
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:28,080
Speaker 1: they get there in a hurry. They rally to the

2436
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 1: ball very fast, their reaction time is really quick, and

2437
01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:35,440
Speaker 1: they seem to communicate extremely well. I mean it's they're

2438
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:41,320
Speaker 1: hitting on all cylinders. On defense, they are, their stats

2439
01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 1: are really good and they're and as good as they

2440
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:49,360
Speaker 1: as good as they are, they're good enough to carry

2441
01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:51,720
Speaker 1: this team for the time being. All the offense really

2442
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:53,840
Speaker 1: needs to do is just enough and it's perfect for

2443
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:56,360
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. We're gonna break. Mitch Morrison is gonna

2444
01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:58,200
Speaker 1: join us Bill Center. He's gonna be with us live

2445
01:57:58,240 --> 01:57:59,840
Speaker 1: at a moment or two. So come on back for that,

2446
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:02,400
Speaker 1: Steve and I coming back either way. One Bill's Live

Speaker 1: Morrison studio with us. How much set you coming by,

2455
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:30,320
Speaker 1: Appreciate having me on. Sorry for the sweatness, I just

2456
01:58:30,360 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 1: got done lifting. You could have just said you were

2457
01:58:33,760 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 1: out in the rain. You're practicing in the rain. There's

2458
01:58:36,080 --> 01:58:38,600
Speaker 1: nothing I hate worse. You know what? We just we

2459
01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:40,200
Speaker 1: just do. We're told, man, I'm gonna go out there,

2460
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:42,760
Speaker 1: and he coach says, run through a wall and utah

2461
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 1: us ware, I'm sorry, No, you're good figuring this out. An.

2462
01:58:45,800 --> 01:58:47,880
Speaker 1: Do you look at the weather forecast for the game.

2463
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure they talk about a little bit. Hu. You

2464
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 1: know what, if it's gonna be a hot one, you

2465
01:58:52,600 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: you really try to hydrate. Um, try to be hydrate

2466
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:57,440
Speaker 1: a few days before the game, because that's just I

2467
01:58:57,480 --> 01:58:59,800
Speaker 1: didn't play such a big role in regards to you

2468
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:01,560
Speaker 1: cooling the body down. But at the same time, there's

2469
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,640
Speaker 1: only so much you can do right in the end,

2470
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 1: it's just kind of dealing with it. What about it?

2471
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 1: You know, wet footballs, Yeah, that that's always aving on.

2472
01:59:09,720 --> 01:59:11,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's natural grass down there. You're playing on

2473
01:59:11,720 --> 01:59:14,080
Speaker 1: natural grass out here, So is that that's an issue?

2474
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 1: You can wear the three quarters studs and all that. Yeah,

2475
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 1: I do think there's there's there's something to it, right.

2476
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:22,040
Speaker 1: It's could be ranting on Sunday, getting your foot in,

2477
01:59:22,080 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 1: getting the timing and the rain, you know, handling the

2478
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:27,200
Speaker 1: football when it's wet. So, you know, I think there's

2479
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:30,160
Speaker 1: always a method to coaches madness um and for us

2480
01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:32,520
Speaker 1: it's just doing overtold and going out there and competing

2481
01:59:32,560 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: in the rain with Bill Center, Mitch Moore's I'm looking

2482
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:37,640
Speaker 1: quickly before he came out here. I'm impressed by this.

2483
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:40,240
Speaker 1: You came into the league as a second round pick, right, yes,

2484
01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 1: and you've never played a game in which you did

2485
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:45,400
Speaker 1: not start, and it's what fifty six consecutive games, fifty

2486
01:59:45,440 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 1: six starts? Oh man, Yeah, that's uh. You know, it's

2487
01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:50,200
Speaker 1: something that you you only dream of when you get

2488
01:59:50,200 --> 01:59:53,040
Speaker 1: in this league, every year is not you know, it's

2489
01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:55,960
Speaker 1: not guaranteed. Every game is not guaranteed. And that's something

2490
01:59:55,960 --> 01:59:57,960
Speaker 1: I've learned the hard way here in this league due

2491
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:00,600
Speaker 1: to injuries and stuff. So for us just going out

2492
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:03,800
Speaker 1: and you're taking advantage of the week because you never

2493
02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:06,160
Speaker 1: know if you're guaranteed the next week, as cliche as

2494
02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:09,520
Speaker 1: that sounds. And I wonder what the preseason, the training camp,

2495
02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:12,560
Speaker 1: preseason did to you, and you're thinking along those lines,

2496
02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:14,080
Speaker 1: because you didn't get a whole lot of work, right, no,

2497
02:00:14,440 --> 02:00:17,400
Speaker 1: no preseason action, no preseason action, which is not how

2498
02:00:17,440 --> 02:00:19,720
Speaker 1: you draw it up, right, but it's kind of just

2499
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:22,160
Speaker 1: what happened. Like you said, you you roll with the punches.

2500
02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:23,320
Speaker 1: I think I talked to you all on the next

2501
02:00:23,400 --> 02:00:25,400
Speaker 1: day and hopefully I don't get a concussion tomorro because

2502
02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:27,320
Speaker 1: the last night I got go in my I talked

2503
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:29,280
Speaker 1: to you all on you set it set it up.

2504
02:00:29,320 --> 02:00:31,680
Speaker 1: So no, I'll take that, I'll take that video away

2505
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:34,560
Speaker 1: from you all. But uh, that's just one of those things. Now. It's, uh, yeah,

2506
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:36,280
Speaker 1: you don't want to miss the preseasons kind of roll

2507
02:00:36,320 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 1: with the punches. So in the preseason, you you forced

2508
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:43,840
Speaker 1: your quarterback to snap it take snaps from some other center,

2509
02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, guy who's now you are not in concussion protocol,

2510
02:00:47,840 --> 02:00:50,160
Speaker 1: your quarterback as and you're snapping to some other guy.

2511
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 1: Full circle, man, Yeah, it's yeah, full circle. A little

2512
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 1: bit of difference in that. Certainly Matt brings a different

2513
02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:01,120
Speaker 1: skill set to the table than Josh does. Um. It

2514
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:03,040
Speaker 1: doesn't really bother you or say too much to you,

2515
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:05,080
Speaker 1: but there is a different guy back there. Yeah. I

2516
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:08,440
Speaker 1: think when um, you know, much like when offensive line,

2517
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, they have to plug and play when guys

2518
02:01:11,120 --> 02:01:13,640
Speaker 1: are hurt. Each entrant you see if this, you know,

2519
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:16,800
Speaker 1: each dude is different, and it's it's definitely exacerbated when

2520
02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:18,320
Speaker 1: it's the center, you know. So whether it's the center

2521
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:20,520
Speaker 1: quarterback is change or how they carry out the cadences.

2522
02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Steve, it's just each quarterback has

2523
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:26,400
Speaker 1: a little different nuance. You know, one one guy's strength

2524
02:01:26,520 --> 02:01:28,800
Speaker 1: is another guy's weakness. So um, you just kind of

2525
02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:31,120
Speaker 1: roll with it and uh, you know, it's it's part

2526
02:01:31,160 --> 02:01:33,840
Speaker 1: of the gig. Unfortunately, Mitch more Sweathers Mit. You were

2527
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:37,240
Speaker 1: on the field obviously when Frank Gore had the big

2528
02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:39,640
Speaker 1: run last week that put him over fifteen thousand for

2529
02:01:39,800 --> 02:01:41,840
Speaker 1: his career, a milestone for him. But I would think

2530
02:01:41,840 --> 02:01:43,800
Speaker 1: it's an offensive ieman, you might think we get we

2531
02:01:43,800 --> 02:01:45,240
Speaker 1: get a little piece of that too. Playing with a

2532
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:48,880
Speaker 1: guy like that, you know, this league humbles you, but

2533
02:01:48,880 --> 02:01:52,640
Speaker 1: it also kind of you get starstruck. I remember coming in.

2534
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's more so when you're a rookie

2535
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:57,320
Speaker 1: rather than now. But you get these guys you grew

2536
02:01:57,400 --> 02:01:59,160
Speaker 1: up watching. You get these all time greats, you know,

2537
02:01:59,200 --> 02:02:00,960
Speaker 1: future Hall of Fame is like Frank, you get to

2538
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:03,680
Speaker 1: play with and kind of um, you know, helped pave

2539
02:02:03,760 --> 02:02:05,400
Speaker 1: the way for it. And the guy is just he

2540
02:02:05,560 --> 02:02:07,920
Speaker 1: lives in breeze football. It's the reason why he's been

2541
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:09,839
Speaker 1: doing it for so long. And it's been a privilege

2542
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:12,200
Speaker 1: and hopefully continue privilege here and the next you know,

2543
02:02:12,520 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 1: the season, thirty six years old, Um getting that many

2544
02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:19,280
Speaker 1: carries seventeen carries the other day. At some level, he's

2545
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:20,680
Speaker 1: got to be a shock that you see a guy

2546
02:02:20,720 --> 02:02:23,040
Speaker 1: at that age taking all those hits. It's not like

2547
02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:25,520
Speaker 1: he's running away from people that often and being that

2548
02:02:25,560 --> 02:02:28,000
Speaker 1: productive at there. No. I mean Frank likes to he

2549
02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:29,920
Speaker 1: likes contact, you know, I mean he likes to run

2550
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:32,240
Speaker 1: it through the A and B gaps, and there's something

2551
02:02:32,280 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 1: to that. I think when anyone, anyone who's playing in

2552
02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:37,120
Speaker 1: this league at the age of thirty six is doing

2553
02:02:37,120 --> 02:02:40,360
Speaker 1: something right, and especially at such a physical position like

2554
02:02:40,440 --> 02:02:42,960
Speaker 1: running back, it's it's a it's a feat of you know,

2555
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:45,400
Speaker 1: it's just will and the guy just lives in breeze

2556
02:02:45,440 --> 02:02:47,520
Speaker 1: football and he's dedicated his life to it and it shows.

2557
02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:51,000
Speaker 1: We've been talking up and down about how much little

2558
02:02:51,040 --> 02:02:54,480
Speaker 1: we know about the Tennessee defense, but they they play

2559
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 1: a lot of zone. They've got a pretty good pass

2560
02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:58,520
Speaker 1: rushers on the edge, they've they've been getting some sacks.

2561
02:02:59,280 --> 02:03:01,760
Speaker 1: What's the general consensus about where you're gonna face on

2562
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:04,320
Speaker 1: Sunday with their defense? Oh? Really good defense, you know,

2563
02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and I feel like that's the week. That's

2564
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:09,480
Speaker 1: the feeling every week. But this defense is well coached,

2565
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, and they have really productive players and they

2566
02:03:13,080 --> 02:03:15,040
Speaker 1: they stick to what they know and they do it

2567
02:03:15,040 --> 02:03:16,680
Speaker 1: really well. So it'll be a great challenge for us

2568
02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:18,880
Speaker 1: to come out and execute and compete at the level

2569
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 1: actual they play. They play with great intensity, so uh,

2570
02:03:21,800 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, kudos to them, and it'll be a great

2571
02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:26,240
Speaker 1: matchup on Sunday. Jurell Casey has made Pro Bowls, but

2572
02:03:26,320 --> 02:03:28,160
Speaker 1: it's not like he's a household name. It's one of

2573
02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 1: the better interior defensive linement he should be, you know.

2574
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a household named most interior offensive linemen

2575
02:03:34,520 --> 02:03:36,160
Speaker 1: in the league. The guy's been playing at such a

2576
02:03:36,240 --> 02:03:39,040
Speaker 1: high level for you know, years and years, and it'll

2577
02:03:39,080 --> 02:03:41,040
Speaker 1: be a great challenge for us to match his intensity

2578
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:42,680
Speaker 1: and the style of play which he brings, which is

2579
02:03:42,720 --> 02:03:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, he's he brings it every place, so well, well,

2580
02:03:45,640 --> 02:03:48,320
Speaker 1: we'll have to match that. We've been wondering with their

2581
02:03:48,360 --> 02:03:52,080
Speaker 1: head coaches background with the Patriots, right, if the defense

2582
02:03:52,120 --> 02:03:55,000
Speaker 1: and their successful defense, if the defense looks the way

2583
02:03:55,080 --> 02:03:56,600
Speaker 1: New England's does a little bit, do they do some

2584
02:03:56,600 --> 02:03:59,520
Speaker 1: of the same things? You know what? It's it's interesting, Um,

2585
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:02,040
Speaker 1: I I can't speak for that, but I do speak

2586
02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:04,360
Speaker 1: for the fact that if one team does something really

2587
02:04:04,360 --> 02:04:06,040
Speaker 1: well against you, you're going to see that the next week,

2588
02:04:06,120 --> 02:04:08,040
Speaker 1: whether it be certain twists or stuff like that. So

2589
02:04:08,560 --> 02:04:10,200
Speaker 1: for us, we just have to look back at what

2590
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:12,080
Speaker 1: we can control and that stuff that we haven't done

2591
02:04:12,120 --> 02:04:14,000
Speaker 1: too hot in the last few games, whether it be

2592
02:04:14,160 --> 02:04:18,160
Speaker 1: certain things and protection or you know, communication and understanding

2593
02:04:18,200 --> 02:04:20,000
Speaker 1: that you know they have great coaches and a good

2594
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:21,760
Speaker 1: defense that they're going to attack you, or what you've

2595
02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:24,760
Speaker 1: shown on tape so far. Yeah, it gets the point

2596
02:04:24,800 --> 02:04:26,680
Speaker 1: where you're going to do it until you stop it

2597
02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:29,400
Speaker 1: or until you beat it, until you have success against it.

2598
02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:31,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things. What do

2599
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:33,560
Speaker 1: you think that means for this team? What are they

2600
02:04:33,560 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna I mean, what did the Patriots do that gave

2601
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:37,560
Speaker 1: you some problems? Some of it had to do with

2602
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:40,000
Speaker 1: trying the guy you're snapping to, Josh. They were trying

2603
02:04:40,040 --> 02:04:42,000
Speaker 1: to do as they could to not let him know

2604
02:04:42,040 --> 02:04:43,880
Speaker 1: what they were doing. Right, Well, I think, you know,

2605
02:04:43,960 --> 02:04:46,400
Speaker 1: for the last week, you have, you know, a great

2606
02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:49,400
Speaker 1: defense and Bill Belichick's a great, you know coach, and

2607
02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:52,960
Speaker 1: it's just putting different looks at you to confuse, you know,

2608
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:56,200
Speaker 1: because every offensive line's got rules and they're gonna try

2609
02:04:56,240 --> 02:04:59,200
Speaker 1: to kind of mess up those rules. And so I

2610
02:04:59,200 --> 02:05:02,360
Speaker 1: feel like for us to just making game time adjustments

2611
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:03,920
Speaker 1: because they might get you a play here and there

2612
02:05:03,920 --> 02:05:06,720
Speaker 1: and been not panicking and understanding that you know, they

2613
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 1: get paid to do a job, and U for us

2614
02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:13,080
Speaker 1: just making those game time adjustments. We've had Sean McDermot

2615
02:05:13,120 --> 02:05:14,880
Speaker 1: around here now in this third year. You've been around

2616
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:17,440
Speaker 1: for several months now, and one of Sean says is

2617
02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:20,080
Speaker 1: he talks about the growth mindset. How does it right?

2618
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:23,240
Speaker 1: You probably said it this week and maybe you said

2619
02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:25,160
Speaker 1: it in relation to the offense. How do you feel

2620
02:05:25,200 --> 02:05:27,520
Speaker 1: this offense needs to grow? What do you guys need

2621
02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:29,720
Speaker 1: to do and maybe what have you been directed to

2622
02:05:29,720 --> 02:05:32,680
Speaker 1: do over you know, I think you know, penalties are

2623
02:05:32,680 --> 02:05:34,080
Speaker 1: a big thing. You know, it's one of those things

2624
02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:37,680
Speaker 1: we you know, in these last few games when we've

2625
02:05:37,720 --> 02:05:39,680
Speaker 1: put something together, we've seemed to shoot ourselves in the

2626
02:05:39,720 --> 02:05:42,600
Speaker 1: foot and for me, I definitely have some rooman improvement

2627
02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:45,520
Speaker 1: to work on that in that department and then just

2628
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:49,120
Speaker 1: executing and um, you know it's nothing we need to change,

2629
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:51,440
Speaker 1: nothing crazy and needs happened. Just do what we do.

2630
02:05:51,720 --> 02:05:54,440
Speaker 1: You know, we we've shown that we can be a

2631
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:56,800
Speaker 1: really great offense and right now it's just consistency and

2632
02:05:56,960 --> 02:06:00,160
Speaker 1: practicing consistency. What do you see from Josh that you've

2633
02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:02,160
Speaker 1: you've only been here, like like John said, just in

2634
02:06:02,160 --> 02:06:05,640
Speaker 1: the offseason, the progression through preseason, I mean you certainly

2635
02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:07,520
Speaker 1: were you didn't take many reps, but you were there

2636
02:06:07,560 --> 02:06:10,800
Speaker 1: every day. What do you see Josh and his growth? Well,

2637
02:06:10,840 --> 02:06:13,000
Speaker 1: I think you see a dude who's competitive as hell.

2638
02:06:13,400 --> 02:06:15,240
Speaker 1: And when when you walk into a huddle with a

2639
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:18,160
Speaker 1: guy who's super competitive at the same time as it

2640
02:06:18,200 --> 02:06:22,200
Speaker 1: is calm and collected, excuse me, that's going to you know.

2641
02:06:22,240 --> 02:06:24,839
Speaker 1: Coach also says Combreed's calm. And I think that's important

2642
02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:27,040
Speaker 1: regards to the fact that if you have a quarterback

2643
02:06:27,040 --> 02:06:29,440
Speaker 1: who's going in there and unsure of himself, it's going

2644
02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:32,000
Speaker 1: to kind of resonate with everyone else. But the guy

2645
02:06:32,040 --> 02:06:34,800
Speaker 1: comes in and is willingness to work and talk with

2646
02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:37,360
Speaker 1: us and push us a bit, and it's great. And

2647
02:06:37,520 --> 02:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I think Josh has got everything written on him to

2648
02:06:39,920 --> 02:06:45,440
Speaker 1: be excuse me, a great quarterback. We can do a

2649
02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:50,160
Speaker 1: whole show with just quoting Sean McDermott, right, combed Colm,

2650
02:06:50,840 --> 02:06:53,840
Speaker 1: respect the process, growth mindset. We won't do that. Respect

2651
02:06:53,880 --> 02:06:59,320
Speaker 1: the ball, respectable, right, He's got a lot. Thanks for this, Yeah,

2652
02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:02,520
Speaker 1: excuse my car, okay Man Mitch Morris joining the Steve

2653
02:07:02,560 --> 02:07:04,080
Speaker 1: and I back to wrap things up from my back

2654
02:07:04,120 --> 02:07:06,760
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida Health from the Seneca

2655
02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:14,920
Speaker 1: Studios on Buffalo Bills Radio show winds up with what

2656
02:07:14,960 --> 02:07:17,480
Speaker 1: have we learned from today's show? Brought to you by Skyworks,

02:07:17,480 --> 02:07:21,080
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2658
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas Hall of Famer on the show with us

2659
02:07:23,040 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 1: earlier today, and we talked about the Titans running back

2660
02:07:25,720 --> 02:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Thurman says he's probably gonna get a pretty

2661
02:07:28,400 --> 02:07:32,480
Speaker 1: heavy workloads Sunday against the Bills. You want to talk

2662
02:07:32,480 --> 02:07:34,360
Speaker 1: about one of those running backs that they talk about

2663
02:07:34,800 --> 02:07:38,520
Speaker 1: when they reached thirty, they're gonna be probably on their

2664
02:07:38,600 --> 02:07:41,480
Speaker 1: last He's one of them guys because he's a pounder.

2665
02:07:41,520 --> 02:07:44,080
Speaker 1: He's a pounder, and that's what and that's what Tennessee

2666
02:07:44,080 --> 02:07:46,880
Speaker 1: wants to do. Really, Uh, you know, I'm sure they're

2667
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna probably he's probably gonna get thirty carters and more

2668
02:07:50,200 --> 02:07:53,000
Speaker 1: coming up this Sunday against the Bills. Only seven last week,

2669
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:55,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven last week. You know, he's kind of you

2670
02:07:55,320 --> 02:07:58,440
Speaker 1: know him and literal Fournette kind of like the same

2671
02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:02,600
Speaker 1: guy almost, And but you know this guy is you know,

2672
02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:04,320
Speaker 1: who did they have there last year a couple of

2673
02:08:04,360 --> 02:08:05,880
Speaker 1: years ago that he was kind of splitting time. But

2674
02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:07,400
Speaker 1: I can't think of the running back name he was.

2675
02:08:07,880 --> 02:08:10,600
Speaker 1: He now he's just kind of just taken over. I mean,

2676
02:08:10,640 --> 02:08:14,040
Speaker 1: he had a ninety nine yard touchdown run last year.

2677
02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:17,600
Speaker 1: So he want to get this guy to football. I mean,

2678
02:08:17,960 --> 02:08:20,400
Speaker 1: the big physical guy that want to wear down the defense.

2679
02:08:20,720 --> 02:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas on the Titans.

2680
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Also today in the show. Dave McGinnis, former

2681
02:08:25,840 --> 02:08:28,160
Speaker 1: head coach in the league, coach for thirty or more

2682
02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:30,520
Speaker 1: years now, he's a color analyst on the Tennessee Titans

2683
02:08:30,600 --> 02:08:33,200
Speaker 1: radio network, and he talked about what the Titan see

2684
02:08:33,200 --> 02:08:37,320
Speaker 1: when they look at the Buffalo Bills. My eyes, one

2685
02:08:37,480 --> 02:08:39,600
Speaker 1: of the linebackers lea, because that's how I cut my

2686
02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:41,800
Speaker 1: teeth in this league. You know, I think Edmond dies

2687
02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:44,400
Speaker 1: Milano back there and Alex that I liked the way

2688
02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:47,640
Speaker 1: they play. I liked the way the defense plays in sync.

2689
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:51,280
Speaker 1: I think that secondary back there is extremely good. I

2690
02:08:51,280 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 1: think that's an extremely underrated secondary in this league. They

2691
02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:59,000
Speaker 1: played great, great team defense. And then and of course

2692
02:08:59,080 --> 02:09:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, Frank Gorton me is is a medical marvel.

2693
02:09:02,240 --> 02:09:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I've coached against Gore and

2694
02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 1: he's been in this league forever and it's been productees

2695
02:09:07,360 --> 02:09:10,920
Speaker 1: and continues to be productees. So I know what they're

2696
02:09:10,920 --> 02:09:13,040
Speaker 1: looking at. I mean, they're looking at a physical football

2697
02:09:13,040 --> 02:09:16,680
Speaker 1: team that doesn't beat themselves, and that's that's that's those

2698
02:09:16,880 --> 02:09:19,160
Speaker 1: types of football teams, when you get ready to play them,

2699
02:09:19,720 --> 02:09:21,440
Speaker 1: you know that you are going to have to win

2700
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:24,680
Speaker 1: the ball game. They're not going to lose it himself.

2701
02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Day mc kennis on the Buffalo Bills. I think he

2702
02:09:27,640 --> 02:09:32,800
Speaker 1: saw the Patriots Bills matchup. The Bills did it to themselves, right,

2703
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way it came down. We're over there,

2704
02:09:35,880 --> 02:09:37,320
Speaker 1: we got a game to worry about this week, and

2705
02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:40,600
Speaker 1: we've got quarterback issues, and we don't know much more

2706
02:09:40,600 --> 02:09:42,360
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen than we knew at the start of

2707
02:09:42,360 --> 02:09:45,480
Speaker 1: the show. The practice report not out yet, but he

2708
02:09:45,520 --> 02:09:49,440
Speaker 1: remains in concussion protocol. So our Twitter question today what

2709
02:09:49,640 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 1: gives the Bills the best chance to win on Sunday

2710
02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:54,880
Speaker 1: against the Titans, talking about the quarterback situation, And at

2711
02:09:54,880 --> 02:09:56,840
Speaker 1: the end of the day, with thirteen hundred votes and

2712
02:09:56,920 --> 02:09:59,400
Speaker 1: forty two percent of you say, doesn't matter whether it's

2713
02:09:59,440 --> 02:10:02,640
Speaker 1: Alan or the defense wins for Buffalo. Forty two percent

2714
02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:06,040
Speaker 1: say that thirty three percent say Josh Allen gives the

2715
02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Bills the best chance to win even though he's getting

2716
02:10:08,200 --> 02:10:11,880
Speaker 1: limited practice this week, and twenty five percent say Mett

2717
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:14,560
Speaker 1: Barkley with a full practice week. That's fairly close. Twitter poll.

2718
02:10:14,760 --> 02:10:16,840
Speaker 1: You're paying yourself on the back about that Twitter poll

2719
02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:19,000
Speaker 1: three hours ago, and I think you deserved to see it. Well,

2720
02:10:19,040 --> 02:10:21,080
Speaker 1: we came out, we didn't know how to word it.

2721
02:10:21,160 --> 02:10:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, an inordinate amount of work goes into just

2722
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:27,200
Speaker 1: this one question for the show because he because he's

2723
02:10:27,240 --> 02:10:29,320
Speaker 1: gonna linger the whole show, especially if it's a good

2724
02:10:29,320 --> 02:10:31,240
Speaker 1: one like this one. Everybody chiming in. We got, you know,

2725
02:10:32,240 --> 02:10:35,800
Speaker 1: thousands of people chiming in on this thing. Got to

2726
02:10:35,840 --> 02:10:38,839
Speaker 1: make sure we get it right, and today was no exception.

2727
02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:41,800
Speaker 1: We can't. I'm so excited we did this in Jay's absence.

2728
02:10:43,640 --> 02:10:45,560
Speaker 1: That's the best part about You've got good responses on

2729
02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:47,640
Speaker 1: the phone lines and on the tweet sheet. The tweet

2730
02:10:47,680 --> 02:10:50,440
Speaker 1: sheets brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

2731
02:10:50,440 --> 02:10:53,000
Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills. Bill Multi tweeted in I'm

2732
02:10:53,040 --> 02:10:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna go with Josh with limited practice. This may actually

2733
02:10:56,040 --> 02:10:58,520
Speaker 1: be real good for Josh, gives him a chance to

2734
02:10:58,520 --> 02:11:01,080
Speaker 1: clear his head. Just sitting in the room and really

2735
02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:03,400
Speaker 1: digging into tape and game plan might relieve him of

2736
02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:05,600
Speaker 1: some pressure. I'm sure he wants to prove he's the

2737
02:11:05,600 --> 02:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Bill's number one guy. I'm not buying that. You know,

2738
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm not buying Devide. You will go Yes as a rookie, Yes,

2739
02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:13,240
Speaker 1: But I think if I know Josh and Mitch Moore

2740
02:11:13,280 --> 02:11:15,480
Speaker 1: said it, he is as competitive a person as you'll

2741
02:11:15,480 --> 02:11:18,000
Speaker 1: ever meet. If he's healthy, he wants to play. I

2742
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:20,120
Speaker 1: don't think he feels like he needs to clear his

2743
02:11:20,200 --> 02:11:22,520
Speaker 1: head either. He doesn't see the Patriots again, no Christmas,

2744
02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:25,800
Speaker 1: which is probably soon enough. But yeah, I agree with that.

2745
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:27,600
Speaker 1: I think Josh and I think he knows he's the

2746
02:11:27,680 --> 02:11:29,640
Speaker 1: number one guy. I don't think there's any question about that.

2747
02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:33,200
Speaker 1: James Francis krole. It's also chimes in. I think the

2748
02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:36,920
Speaker 1: defense wins this game with moderate effectiveness on offense. This

2749
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:38,600
Speaker 1: is the best defense I've ever seen him. They're going

2750
02:11:38,640 --> 02:11:40,640
Speaker 1: to do it as a team with virtually no big

2751
02:11:40,760 --> 02:11:43,200
Speaker 1: names as of now, but that will soon change. If

2752
02:11:43,240 --> 02:11:47,200
Speaker 1: Barkley plays, expect a huge game from Knox and Beasley.

2753
02:11:47,280 --> 02:11:49,080
Speaker 1: Go Bills, And that's interesting to think about it. And

2754
02:11:49,120 --> 02:11:51,640
Speaker 1: that's and you put yourself in the spot of the Titans.

2755
02:11:51,800 --> 02:11:55,800
Speaker 1: If Barkley's in there, who does he like, right, Is

2756
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:58,360
Speaker 1: it Knox? Is it Beasley? Or is it John Brown?

2757
02:11:58,560 --> 02:12:02,080
Speaker 1: Is it Devin Singletary? Because that's when it comes down

2758
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:05,440
Speaker 1: to it. Quarterbacks like to throw to certain guys. Josh

2759
02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:08,160
Speaker 1: is the comfortable with Yeah, the con function of where

2760
02:12:08,160 --> 02:12:10,360
Speaker 1: are they comfortable throwing? Right? My arm allows me to

2761
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:12,120
Speaker 1: get into this guy. The kind of the kind of

2762
02:12:12,120 --> 02:12:14,280
Speaker 1: offensive thing, and the way they see things, the way

2763
02:12:14,280 --> 02:12:16,520
Speaker 1: that plays called day ball will call a different game

2764
02:12:16,560 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 1: for Barkley than he will for Josh. Allen and the

2765
02:12:19,160 --> 02:12:22,920
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators know it, and that that throws a pebble

2766
02:12:22,960 --> 02:12:25,600
Speaker 1: into the calm waters of their mind over there in Tennessee.

2767
02:12:25,640 --> 02:12:27,760
Speaker 1: So you gotta get they've got to be ready for that.

2768
02:12:27,840 --> 02:12:29,839
Speaker 1: We'll talk more a lot more about this game tomorrow,

2769
02:12:29,880 --> 02:12:31,920
Speaker 1: and well we won't forget this week to give us

2770
02:12:32,480 --> 02:12:34,920
Speaker 1: our predictions on the game. And look, I don't know

2771
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:37,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense can maintains its current great play right

2772
02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:39,800
Speaker 1: number two in the league. They're playing great, But I

2773
02:12:39,840 --> 02:12:41,760
Speaker 1: don't think I will say this a preview to one.

2774
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:43,919
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about this game. I don't think the Tennessee

2775
02:12:43,920 --> 02:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Titans are the team offensively to disrupt what Buffalo has

2776
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:50,360
Speaker 1: going on defensively, you know what I'm saying. They got weapons,

2777
02:12:50,400 --> 02:12:52,480
Speaker 1: but I just think the quarterback is so erratic. This

2778
02:12:52,560 --> 02:12:54,640
Speaker 1: is not the team that will shake up the Buffalo defense.

2779
02:12:54,720 --> 02:12:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And I also don't think you

2780
02:12:58,280 --> 02:12:59,720
Speaker 1: know this. I think this is gonna be a lot

2781
02:12:59,760 --> 02:13:02,720
Speaker 1: like the game last week. Yeah who morning, He who

2782
02:13:02,760 --> 02:13:05,920
Speaker 1: makes the fewest mistakes wins. I think it's gonna be

2783
02:13:05,960 --> 02:13:08,320
Speaker 1: a low scoring affair. I think all the Bills games

2784
02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:11,000
Speaker 1: going in until the are the Bill's offense proves they

2785
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:13,680
Speaker 1: can really light it up on a regular basis. I think,

2786
02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:15,440
Speaker 1: you know all these games are gonna look like this,

2787
02:13:15,480 --> 02:13:16,880
Speaker 1: and I think this one's no different. I think it's

2788
02:13:16,880 --> 02:13:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a low scoring, tight game. We've got a

2789
02:13:18,960 --> 02:13:21,640
Speaker 1: good show coming up tomorrow with Andy Leavitri former Bill,
