1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome in to a Thursday edition of One

3
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: Bill's Live.

4
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you ready to roll.

5
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: Players back on the practice field. They got their shells

6
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: and helmets on yesterday, was just a walk through. Their

7
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 2: back to it today and number eighteen in your program,

8
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: number one in your heart. Amari Cooper out there with

9
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: them participating in practice will get you a full practice

10
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: update once the media viewing portion of practice is over.

11
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: But we can tell you that Bill's practice updates are

12
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: presented by Lee Coom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.

13
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: And what we learned from the Wednesday injury report, which

14
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: we should tell you is just an estimation since it

15
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: was a walkthrough, but an estimation of practice participation. And

16
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: I can tell you there are four new additions to

17
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: the Bill's injury report day Kwon Jones, Dalton Kincaid, Reggie

18
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: Gilliam and Connor McGovern all new.

19
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: Ads to the injury report.

20
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,639
Speaker 2: It was based on the walkthrough estimation that Connor McGovern

21
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: would be a full participant with a shoulder injury, So

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: it doesn't appear to be any worry there as far

23
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: as Daikwon Jones goes limited with a foot injury, Dalton

24
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: Kincaid limited, let me find him here with a collarbone injury,

25
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: and let me see who was the fourth one here

26
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: that I have Reggie, Oh yeah, Reggie Gilliam.

27
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: Limited with a hamstring injury.

28
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: So we'll try to provide updates after the media viewing

29
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: portion of practice is closed. The good news was Khalil

30
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: Shakir listed as a full participant coming off the ankle injury,

31
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: so that's good to see. James Cook Ed Oliver still

32
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: limited with their toe and hamstring injuries, respectively, So that's

33
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: kind of the bulk of Buffalo's injury report. Terrell Bernard

34
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: listed as limited, but I think that's where he's been

35
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: kind of listed at for the better part of the

36
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, even though he has played in

37
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: each of the last two games. Taron Johnson also listed

38
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: as limited, even though he played last week and played

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: maybe just as many reps as anybody on defense. So

40
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: played well and played very well, you are correct, So

41
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: hopefully that continues to progress in a positive way. As

42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: we mentioned, yes, Tennessee Titans probably not going to be

43
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: without one of their top two running backs, ty j Spears,

44
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: dealing with a hamstring injury that his head coach, Brian

45
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: Callahan called week to week, and it is tough to

46
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: come back in a week from a hamstring injury, as

47
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: we have learned with that. Oliver, who's missed each of

48
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: the last two games, did see Also on their injury

49
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: report yesterday, Steve among the non participants Ernest Jones due

50
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: to illness. He is their leading tackler, one of their

51
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: inside linebackers in their three to four scheme. He did

52
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: not practice yesterday due to illness. Neither did corner Lagarious

53
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: Snead due to a quad injury. So those are two

54
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: players we're going to have to keep a closer eye on. Otherwise,

55
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: a lot of the other guys getting veteran rest days.

56
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: Quarterback Will levis limited in practice with a right shoulder injury.

57
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: Right shoulder. He's a right handed thrower.

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: Yes, he is something else to keep an eye on.

59
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: As far as the Titans go, they're an hour behind us,

60
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: obviously being on Central Time, so we probably won't get

61
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: an update on their practice participation before we're off the air,

62
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: but I'll be sure.

63
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: To put it out on my Twitter handle Ris Brown Bills.

64
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 4: It's interesting. You got to think about what their secondary

65
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: is thinking this week.

66
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: It's the number one pass defense in football. Yeah, and

67
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: they're no slouches back there.

68
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah for the Titans, right, they do not They don't

69
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 4: sack the quarterback very much, but people don't throw on

70
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: them very easily either.

71
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: They get a lot of hits, and I believe Harold

72
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: Landry has five sacks on the season, so their primary

73
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: pass rusher is still getting the job done. But they

74
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: have players who have a ton of quarterback hits. The

75
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: other player that I'm going to point out right now

76
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: is one of their backup outside linebackers, arden Key. Right,

77
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff behind the play, oh right, the

78
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: guy will push the end, so got to keep an

79
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: eye on him and know where he is at and

80
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: keep him away from Josh because he is known to be.

81
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: Chippy.

82
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: Chippy is a kind way of putting in. Yes, he

83
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: used to play for the Raiders. Used to get a

84
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: little chippy. There a lot of behind the play after

85
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: the whistle stuff. You got to watch him. Got to

86
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: watch arden Key this week for sure. I want to

87
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 2: say I haven't memorized that roster yet.

88
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: I'm working on it.

89
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: Bear with me, but I'm gonna get you his jersey

90
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: number to keep an eye on for him. I think

91
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: he's I want to say he's forty nine, but I'm

92
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: not one hundred. Yes, forty nine, I got it. Got

93
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on because his play will bleed

94
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: into the dirty variety right at times, so got to

95
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: keep an eye on. So that's that we heard from

96
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper yesterday as he had his first press conference after.

97
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: Getting here Tuesday evening.

98
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: And I had heard just from people in the know

99
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: that I talked to in Cleveland or even out in

100
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: Oakland when he was there with the Raiders at the

101
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: beginning of his career, and they say that Amari Cooper

102
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: is all business. There isn't a lot of you know,

103
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: goofing around and stuff with him when he is at

104
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,119
Speaker 2: the workplace. Like he is all about football all the time.

105
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: And he's very business like in his approach to the game,

106
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: which you know, part and parcel helps explain why he

107
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: has been so consistently successful as a consistent producer in

108
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: this league.

109
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just listening to him yesterday, you could feel that.

110
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: As he was answering a myriad of questions from the

111
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: Buffalo media.

112
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 3: I thought one of the.

113
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: More interesting ones was his description of the drive up

114
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: here from Cleveland. Drove his own car up here. You know,

115
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: it's three hour drive. Why would you not know? We've

116
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: all had your car here as a matter of.

117
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: Convenience, everybody's doing that drive, right.

118
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: But basically telling the media yesterday, you know, he did

119
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: a lot of introspection on his drive up here. You know,

120
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: three hours by yourself in the car. I mean, yeah,

121
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: you might have the radio on, but you know, a

122
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: lot of.

123
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: Time to think.

124
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he said, first and foremost, there was a

125
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: lot to think about on that three hour drive. He's

126
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: still kind of processing everything that went down earlier this

127
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: week as he gets himself, you know, immersed in Buffalo's

128
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: offensive playbook and what he might be responsible for assignment

129
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: wise this week. And then secondarily, he said, you know,

130
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: as I got further into the drive, he said, yes,

131
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: this was very reinvigorating and motivating for him, which you know,

132
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: you would kind of expect, you know, a person at

133
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 2: the highest level of their sport has to be pretty

134
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: self motivated anyway, but then there's almost this built in

135
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: motivation to kind of impress your new teammates, right, like,

136
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: prove yourself to your new teammates. I mean you did

137
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: that coming here. Sure after you get claimed off waivers

138
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: in eighty six, why don't you just speak to what

139
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: that's like and what's rolling through your head in those.

140
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: You want you want to gain. It's a big thing.

141
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: And most people will understand what I'm going to. You

142
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: want respect. They don't know you. The guys on this

143
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 4: new team, Amari, you know, nobody on this team knows Amari.

144
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: Certainly he's a far more proven player. He was in

145
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: his tent in his tenth year. You're in like your

146
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: third year.

147
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: Coming year, Yes, second year, second year, and I was

148
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 4: I was a nobody. I wasn't Amari Cooper. You show

149
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 4: up and certainly you know, and Amari will be aware

150
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 4: that you know, they know who He's has some good

151
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: years and he has nothing to prove as an NFL player.

152
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: But nevertheless, you want those guys to.

153
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: Know they can count on you.

154
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: Be glad you're there. Yeah that you want them to say, wow,

155
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: are cool man, this is awesome. Let's go. It's not

156
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 4: easy to do because you've got so much mentally to

157
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: go through. You've got. You can't show them how much

158
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 4: of the offense. You know, you can't show them how

159
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: much of you know your work. You can't show them

160
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: the ten years of work you put into this. You know,

161
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: you've got to go out there and do it on

162
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: the field and in a practice setting, in a regular season.

163
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: It's very difficult to do that, particularly when you don't

164
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: even know the words of the offense. So there's everything

165
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: you're really highly motivated to accelerate your effort into getting

166
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: yourself to a point where they can trust you with

167
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: some stuff and the players can see it, and you know,

168
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: you get to know the guys all that it is.

169
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 4: It's a really difficult situation to feel comfortable in because

170
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: by the very nature of it, you know, we're all

171
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: the most uncomfortable when we're the least informed. There's nothing

172
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: nobody's as uninformed as somebody who doesn't know the words.

173
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 4: Ye uh so it's really difficult to do. But yes,

174
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: you're right, Brownie. His automatic go to is like, I'm

175
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: gonna show them, I'm gonna make this work, but they're

176
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: gonna be glad, that's all. And it's it's really interesting

177
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: that he said that, because that's it's the perfect place

178
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 4: you want a guy to be. You they've got to

179
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: be self motivated, you know he is. I mean we were.

180
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: You know, you talk about where he's been in his life.

181
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 4: That guy's done some stuff in this league at a

182
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: high level. He's been with different organizations.

183
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: Fourth team, and he's been successful everywhere.

184
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 4: He's been successful everywhere he has been. And you have

185
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 4: not heard a peep out of this guy, right.

186
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: I mean, he even had a contract dispute with the

187
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Browns back in the summer.

188
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 4: Never he wanted Pete.

189
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: He wanted a new deal from the Browns. He's in

190
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: the last year of his contract, and we've seen the

191
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: receiver market and what players of his caliber making now

192
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: upwards of thirty million dollars a year, and he's down

193
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: around he was down around twenty at the time per

194
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: season average annual values. So you can understand why he

195
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: wanted to see a bump and pake, especially coming off

196
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: a career best year of twelve hundred and fifty yards

197
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: last year with the Browns. The Browns kind of blocked

198
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 2: at that, and then the brand and Ayuk stuff came

199
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: up where he was available via trade from the Niners.

200
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: The Browns were interested. They were talking to the forty

201
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: nine ers. They even converted a lot of Cooper's base

202
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: salary into bonus to make him more tradeable.

203
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: Which was a boost for That was a nice thing

204
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: for them to do for Amari.

205
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: Right, So, you know, trying to facilitate, sure, moving you

206
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: out because we're not going to pay you thirty a

207
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: year at age thirty. They were more open to paying

208
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: brand and Ayuke thirty a year at age twenty six. Sure,

209
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: and I totally understand that logic. So they tried to

210
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: facilitate a trade with the Niners. Maybe we're a little

211
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: too preemptive in thinking it was going to get done.

212
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: It falls apart, it doesn't get done. But now the

213
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: road is paved financially for a team like the Bills

214
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: to swoop in and say, yeah, we'll sign up for

215
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: getting Amari Cooper. And so now they're only on the

216
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 2: hook for eight hundred K the rest of the year

217
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: for a receiver who you could argue is at twenty

218
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: plus million dollar a year talent. So the Bills are

219
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: the beneficiaries of some grunt work that was done back

220
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: in August.

221
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: And on top of that, you.

222
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: Know, you talk about the motivation of wanting to impress

223
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: new teammates, guys also going to be a free agent

224
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: at the end of the year. Then take it one

225
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: step further, guys played with good quarterbacks Dak Prescott, Derek Carr,

226
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: Flacco in his waning years, but still a guy that

227
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: come back of the year, still a guy that can

228
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: throw it and a water down Deshaun Watson.

229
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: I think it's safe.

230
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: About Deshaun Watson's the low end of that total.

231
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 3: That's right.

232
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: And with Watson and Flacco last year he as a

233
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: career best season of twelve hundred and fifty yards receiving.

234
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: Think about you that.

235
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: I don't think this is an argument. He's now playing

236
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: with the best quarterback he's ever played with in Josh Allen. Yeah,

237
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: that makes that makes the potential production if he's quick

238
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: on the uptake and as cerebral a player as everybody

239
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: believes he is, tantalizing.

240
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, the next this next stretch of games, we've we

241
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: talked about it, you know, with for the Bills. I

242
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 4: mean you've got next week Tennessee, Seattle, Miami Colts. Colts,

243
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 4: you can you can just envision that it's gonna be.

244
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: Not quite as intimidating a schedule as the previous three games.

245
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 4: Get him ramped up, and by the time he hit

246
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: the Kansas City Chiefs before the bye week, he should

247
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 4: be rolling. He should be integrated. Yeah, for sure, for sure. Uh.

248
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: There is other news concerning the Bills roster. We anticipated

249
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: that there would be kickers trying out and working out

250
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: for the Bills this week. That was the case, and

251
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: today they sign a kicker to the practice squad. Lucas

252
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: have Resik, whose only NFL experience was nine games with

253
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: the Rams last year. If memory serves, he filled in

254
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: for an injured kicker whose name escapes me now, but

255
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: played in nine games last year fifteen of twenty, kicking

256
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: four of nine from forty yards plus, so not stellar numbers,

257
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: and even at the University of Arizona he was a

258
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: sixty four percent kicker. There were others who tried out.

259
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: A lot of people wanted to see the Bills sign

260
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: Harrison MeVis, the University of Missouri product, better known as

261
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: the thicker kicker, who goes two hundred and forty pounds

262
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: at just over six foot and he had a very

263
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: very highly decorated college career where he was an eighty

264
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: four percent kicker for the Tigers, but they choose to

265
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: go with Lucas Haversik, who must have had a stellar

266
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: workout for them earlier this week. So he is now

267
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: on the Bill's practice squad. He will wear jersey number thirty.

268
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: And we'll see is this the week that they decide

269
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: to elevate him and have him kick and Tyler Bass

270
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: is inactive. I don't know that that'll happen, knowing he

271
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: just joined the roster today, it's already Thursday, it's kind of.

272
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: Late in the week.

273
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but because he would presumably kick off also, and yeah,

274
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: you got to get the holding operations, Dace in terms

275
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: of how he likes the ball placed right.

276
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, he hasn't. You can do that, but yeah, that's

277
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: it's a little bit of a risk.

278
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: It's a lot.

279
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: It is a lot. By the way, it was Evans

280
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: was the placekicker in La last year that got hurt

281
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: and have her sick, took over from him and then

282
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: beat mayor as well.

283
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: Maher, Yeah, Bret Maher, Maher.

284
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: So having a guy come out he can do it.

285
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen it. I mean and we've all

286
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: heard the Bill Parcell's like, hey, listen, he doesn't really

287
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: have to play. All you gotta do is kick right.

288
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: So there's a little bit of that going on. The

289
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 4: snap is the same the hold, maybe not because.

290
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,359
Speaker 3: Of how he likes the ball tilted or whatever.

291
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: And let's faye, here's the problem. Special teams are different

292
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: animals for three reasons. One, it's the only time you

293
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: give the ball to your opponent, you punt it to

294
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 4: them or kick it to them. Second, fuel position changes wildly,

295
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: fuel positions dictated by your kicking game. And the third reason,

296
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 4: and this is what we're talking about. You're going for points.

297
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 4: You gotta get it right. That's why we're having this

298
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: conversation in the first place. It's a you gotta score

299
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 4: on that play, thumbs up, thumbs down, kicks good, kicks

300
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 4: not good? You got you gotta have it right. And

301
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: if Wednesda or Thursday through Sunday isn't enough time to

302
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: get it right with haversick or if there are going

303
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 4: to make a move, then you don't. It's that simple.

304
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: And maybe that maybe that is very much a TBD decision.

305
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll see who looks better in practice today, who

306
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: looks better in practice tomorrow, and then even in the

307
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: mock game practice on Saturday.

308
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: I mean it could go that long.

309
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: Yes, you have until four pm Saturday to make make

310
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 2: the calls to whether you're gonna elevate.

311
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: And I think what would And you can appreciate this

312
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 4: despite the pins and needles we're all on right now

313
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 4: with the kicking situation in Buffalo, I think the way

314
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 4: it would work for me if I was doing it. Listen,

315
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: they're gonna let him kick.

316
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 3: If you're the kicker, or if you're the coach, the coach.

317
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: For the decision maker, the coach. If Bass has a

318
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: good week of practice and we're staying where if he

319
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: faltered because they got a guy in there that's standing

320
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 4: right there watching him kick and then taking turns with

321
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 4: him kicking, and it messes with Bass's head. Take a day,

322
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 4: you will sit you down. We got we're gonna give

323
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 4: this guy shot. Uh, But I think the job is

324
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 4: even this week moving forward, Bass kicks well in practice.

325
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: Let's just go keep going, just keep riding it, because

326
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: you have to change anything else to hold her all

327
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: of that stuff. And that's where I'm at. If I'm

328
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: McDermott and Smiley and Herky and those guys looking at.

329
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: This, Yeah, I mean we kind of sensed that something

330
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: like this would be a foot And for those that

331
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 2: don't know and have you know, sounded off on social

332
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 2: media or elsewhere, Ah, I'm done with Bass.

333
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: Just get rid of him.

334
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: Can't do it because he signed in a long term

335
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: extension last year and if they did cut him from

336
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: the roster, the Bills would incur a seven point three

337
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: eight million dollar cap hit and that's not something they

338
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: can absorb right now. So their best option is to

339
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: sign a kicker to the practice squad and if they

340
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: feel it's necessary, elevate him for a game or two

341
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: or more and see where it goes and kind of

342
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 2: take it week by week. And that's kind of where

343
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: they sit right now with this second kicker now on

344
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: the practice squad and Lucas Halver six. So we'll see

345
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: where it goes between now and Sunday. Let's go around

346
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 2: the NFL, which is presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare

347
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: system of the Buffalo Bills, and there could be a

348
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: quarterback change of foot in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh four and two

349
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: on the season with Justin Fields as their starting quarterback,

350
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: but it looks like Russell Wilson, who is getting first

351
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: team reps in practice, is trending towards starting on Sunday

352
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: against the Jets. So I saw somebody put a stat

353
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: up on social media on Twitter earlier today that said,

354
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: this is the first time in NFL history that a

355
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: quarterback who began the season as the starter and led

356
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: his team to a four and two record is being

357
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: benched in favor of another quarterback.

358
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 4: I don't know what to say. I have not watched

359
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 4: the Steelers play that much. Four and two is a

360
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: good is record.

361
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: I think most would argue that it's been They got

362
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: there mostly by playing some lights out defense.

363
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 4: Sure, and they're not gonna stop doing that. Maybe or

364
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 4: now listen to they they're in Mike Tomlins in the room,

365
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 4: that coaching staff is in the room. They're not trying

366
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 4: to lose games, and they're not trying to sit there.

367
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: They got listen, don't forget. They got nothing invested in

368
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 4: Eric in Russ Wilson, nothing nothing, Yeah, and they don't

369
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 4: owe him anything on a platter. So they're seeing something

370
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 4: in russ Wilson that they want to take a shot

371
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 4: at and do something with their offense that they have

372
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: not been able to do so to me, because I mean,

373
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: this is a guy that's never had a losing season,

374
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 4: and he's four and two. Right now, I'll stand back

375
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 4: and watch. I mean, okay, right now.

376
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: They're twentieth in scoring, twenty sixth in total offense, length

377
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: and rushing, which is due in part to Fields running exploits,

378
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: twenty eighth in passing. They're at one hundred and sixty

379
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: six passing yards per game.

380
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: That is anemic.

381
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: I will say that the interception rate has been great,

382
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: justin Fields has protected the football. They're second in the

383
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: league in interception lowest interception rate, second lowest in the league.

384
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: It's also because he's not throwing it a ton either.

385
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: They're converting thirty nine percent on third down. That's not awful.

386
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: And they're nineteenth in the red zone. Half of their

387
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 2: red zone trips have resulted in touchdowns, so and they're

388
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: holding their time of possessions over thirty two minutes, so

389
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: it's not disastrous by any stretch. And their defense is

390
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: good enough to hold him in game.

391
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 4: They're finding ways to win, no question about it, and

392
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: Fields has been a part of that. They may believe

393
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 4: that's his ceiling at this point, I have a hard

394
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: time thinking that he's not gonna I think he's starting

395
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 4: to play better, not worse, but I think maybe throw

396
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 4: And I'll say this too, it doesn't mean Russ Wilson's

397
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 4: there for the rest of the season either. I mean,

398
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 4: if they made this showcasing, if they make this change,

399
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 4: why you know what it was? Okay, you want even

400
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 4: if we win this game, it doesn't look like we're

401
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 4: putting Fields back in. And I'll say this too, you

402
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 4: got to tip your hat. And some of you might

403
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 4: have seen this justin Fields was did a media scrum yesterday,

404
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 4: was in front of the local media there in Pittsburgh,

405
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 4: and he said, hey, I could have played better. I

406
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 4: needed to play better. Quite frankly, I'm down. You know.

407
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 4: I wanted to play better, and I wish I would have.

408
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: And if I'd have played good enough, there wouldn't be

409
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 4: an issue with who's starting quarterback. He could not possibly

410
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: have handled it better than he could not posit it.

411
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 4: I gotta tip my hat to him, and uh so

412
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 4: to me. The way he's handled that, there's nothing that

413
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: says next week he's not right back in the lineup.

414
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're making this. He's four and two.

415
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: They don't have to justify plugging him back in. I mean,

416
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 4: I think this this may be one of the old time. Man.

417
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: We've seen this way through back in the decade. Remember

418
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: when Roger Staubach and Danny White and oh my gosh,

419
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: it's it's happened once or twice, you know around the league.

420
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 4: Think about here in Buffalo, Flutie Johnson. Who's gonna play? Why,

421
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 4: who's gonna Who do you like? Who do's better? All

422
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 4: that's in the mix. This is this is that we

423
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 4: haven't seen this for a while. Yeah, we've not seen well,

424
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 4: we've never seen it at this point a four and

425
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: two record.

426
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I it's hard to know what to make

427
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: of this.

428
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 2: Does Russell Wilson looked that much better throwing the football

429
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: in practice than justin fields.

430
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: I got a hard time believing.

431
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 4: That his arm's not as strong.

432
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: It is not, and I think there are a lots washed.

433
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 3: It's kind of not what he was.

434
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 4: He's washed. He does throw a really good deep ball.

435
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 4: He always has had a good deep ball. Great timing,

436
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 4: great positioning of the ball, accurate down the field. Yeah,

437
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 4: maybe that's one thing they think they're missing. But I'm

438
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 4: with Brownie. We're sitting here kind of trying to make

439
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: head or tails that. I don't know, Man, how do

440
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 4: you go away from a young quarterback who seems to

441
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 4: be getting a little better and a little better and

442
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 4: a little better, and then moved back to Russ Wilson,

443
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 4: who I mean, he hasn't played yet this year, so

444
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: maybe they've seen some stuff in the preseason up to this.

445
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 4: That's saying, Okay, now he's the guy we want, because

446
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 4: he was to begin with. They plugged him in at

447
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 4: the very beginning, said he is the starter, and then

448
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 4: his calf went. They had to play justin fields and

449
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 4: then lo and behold, they're winning games and now they're

450
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 4: back to square one. Right, Oh, it sounds like it's

451
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: a mess, but it's not. It doesn't seem to be

452
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 4: a mess. How is that possible?

453
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: Tomin kind of holds that thing together pretty well and

454
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: prevents it from descending into They just.

455
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: Beat the Raiders thirty two thirteen. Right, They've lost. They

456
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: have lost two games to the Cowboys and the Colts

457
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: by a total of six points.

458
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: It's it's peculiar decision, to say the least. So okay,

459
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 2: let's see where it. Like I said, I'm I'm curious.

460
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: Were they playing Sunday?

461
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 4: They played the New York Football Jets on Sunday Night football.

462
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 4: So I'm ready to sit back and say, oh, let's

463
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: see it. Because he's the guy that's won had a

464
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 4: winning record ever since he's been head coach, and he's

465
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 4: the longest tenured head coach in the league, and he's

466
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 4: never had a losing season. Okay, let's see it. This

467
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: is a this is a decision that a strong head

468
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: coach only can make.

469
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's speaking of the Jets.

470
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 2: By the way, Mike Williams is back at practice but

471
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: is not participating with the team. He's off on the

472
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: side doing conditioning work. He's not injured, he's just not wanted.

473
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 2: They are trying to shop him in a trade, and

474
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 2: according to some of the national reporters, three teams have

475
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: expressed interest, among them his former team, the Chargers. So

476
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: we'll see if a trade can be consummated there to

477
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: get Mike Williams out of New Jersey and off the

478
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: Jets roster.

479
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: That's got to be it. You want to talk about a.

480
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: Tough situation, you've got to go into a locker room

481
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: where you already know you're not wanted, so you don't

482
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 2: get fine to report for work and all of that jazz.

483
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: Wouldn't if you're the Jets, wouldn't you just say you

484
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 2: can just stay home, you don't have to come in. Like,

485
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 2: we understand the situation's awkward. We don't want to make

486
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 2: it any more awkward for you. You know that we're

487
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: working with your agent to move you. You know, don't

488
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 2: come into work. You're okay, right, Like.

489
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you do that now?

490
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 4: Instead?

491
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: He's got to walk around and it's bizarre, Like is

492
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: there anything more jetsy in than that?

493
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 3: Like what are we doing?

494
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: Like don't have the quarterback and his best buddy just

495
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 4: got in there?

496
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean it's like it's like being the

497
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 3: third wheel.

498
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: Gross. You know that's gross.

499
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: It's like being the third wheel.

500
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the unwanted guy, but I still have to

501
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: be here like uugh, yeah, Like that's where's the quality

502
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: of control there.

503
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 4: Dysfunction is dysfunction.

504
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna have that guy come to work in that situation?

505
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: Good lord man?

506
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: So that is around the NFL presented by Coalida Healthy,

507
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: Official Healthcare System of the Buffalo Bills.

508
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 4: We should also talk about Jamal Adams.

509
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Jamal Adams.

510
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: He was from the Titans.

511
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: Yes, so he is. He has asked for his unconditional release.

512
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: He was on the non football injury list here the

513
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: last several weeks for the Titans. He was all excited

514
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: earlier this offseason when the Titans signed his former teammate

515
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: in Seattle, Quandre Diggs, to play safety. He's like, Ah,

516
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: the safety tandem's back. We're gonna be great this then

517
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: and the other. And then I was trying to find

518
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: why he landed on the non football injury list. I

519
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: was unable to find that. But Amani Hooker has played

520
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: out of his mind at the other safety spot for Tennessee.

521
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 2: He's put a lot of crooked numbers in a lot

522
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: of defensive categories and has played lights out for them.

523
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: And Amani Hooker can actually cover passing targets. Jamal Adams

524
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: is a linebacker that's played safety since his career began,

525
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: and in this league that doesn't work.

526
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 5: No.

527
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 4: He got drafted by the Jets, remember.

528
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 3: Fourth overall, fourth overall.

529
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 4: He was a guy. But he's like Bridy Say's a tweener.

530
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 4: He doesn't fit so the Jets traded him to Seattle

531
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 4: where he hung out for a while and they discovered

532
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: too that good. He's an old fashion there's let big

533
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 4: hitter run stuffer. Yeah, but he can't. He can't drop

534
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 4: into coverage and be effective. He's not good at it,

535
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 4: and teams would just you know, force him to do it. Yeah,

536
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: And so they traded him to Tennessee, and Tennessee's like going, oh, yeah,

537
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: you know what what we thought was right.

538
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: So he's going to be released by the Titans.

539
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 4: Yes, he is released by the Titans. I heard. And

540
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 4: so yeah, that's a number four overall pick.

541
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: It's amazing how some of these players just wash out. Yeah,

542
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: it's stunning. Uh Okay, So now we're done with around

543
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: the NFL.

Speaker 6: down here in Connectic. Got I hope the same up

560
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 6: there in lovely New York. And these are the kind

561
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 6: of days that make you long for Sunday afternoon football.

562
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 6: We can't wait for that.

563
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is spectacular here as well, and kind of

564
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 4: moving through. And we were sitting out there the fall

565
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: Foliage's turn. It is right in the heart of the

566
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 4: football season. It's right where we all want to be, right.

567
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 6: No question about that. It is just a lovely time

568
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 6: of the year, believe it or not. After Monday night

569
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 6: we have two games. Of course, Monday night, we'll be

570
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 6: halfway through the fantasy football regular season for those that

571
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 6: play in season long family, but the fantasy but for

572
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 6: those that of course play daily fantasy. We have all

573
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 6: the way through week eighteen, so plenty of good stuff ahead.

574
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 6: We are constantly churning through lineups to find you, guys,

575
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 6: good value plays that could end up being the difference

576
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 6: between winning a whole bunch of money and perhaps not

577
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 6: making any whatsoever.

578
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: All Right, So the first two picks in your lineup

579
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: this week come from the same game outline quarterback in

580
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: RB one here.

581
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's start with Drake May. Perhaps surprising to some,

582
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 6: and you know, seven two hundred dollars a very small

583
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 6: amount of money to be paid for a quarterback in

584
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 6: daily fantasy, so amongst the cheaper options. But Drake May,

585
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 6: in his first career NFL start through three passing touchdowns,

586
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 6: had up over thirty rushing yards. And it's a great

587
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 6: matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Patriots very limited along the

588
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 6: offensive line and quite limited amongst their pass catchers as well.

589
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 6: But Drake May, because of that dual threat ability, could

590
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 6: be good in fantasy football. Again, we are constantly looking

591
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 6: for players who are reasonable values. And why May's upside

592
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 6: is not the same as some of the players that

593
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 6: are higher priced up on the board, He's got enough

594
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 6: upside relative to his price at just seventy two.

595
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: Hundred dollars, okay, and then tank.

596
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 6: Bigsby, by the way in that same game, which is

597
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 6: might Sosa's knock him out?

598
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 4: One two?

599
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 6: We got him here.

600
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: You let me.

601
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 6: Exactly there, Brownie. And you know this Patriots run de

602
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 6: events can't stop anything right now over the past four games.

603
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 6: They've been an absolute mess, allowing over one hundred and

604
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 6: fifty yards a game during that four game stretch and

605
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 6: at least one touchdown to opposing teams in all four

606
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 6: of those games. As well. Bigsby looks like the next

607
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 6: man up in that Jacksonville backfield is Travis CTN. Is

608
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 6: considered week to week right now for the Jaguars. I'm

609
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 6: interpreting that as he's not going to play on Sunday.

610
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 6: He did practice yesterday in limited capacity. But if you

611
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 6: can get Tanked Bigsby in this smash spot at sixty

612
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 6: nine hundred dollars, pretty worthwhile investment. There a couple of

613
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 6: notes on Bigsby. If you filter out all players that

614
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 6: have at least twenty carries this season, a fairly low

615
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 6: barred across, he is the second most rushing yards per attempt,

616
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 6: Number one would be Kyler Murray a little over eight yards.

617
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 6: Tank Bigsby is a little over seven yards per carry

618
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 6: on the season. Now he has just one target, So

619
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 6: for Bigsby, he's going to require probably twenty carries in

620
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 6: a touchdown to pay off. But if ever there was

621
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 6: a matchup for Jacksonville to feature Tank Bigsby, this would

622
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 6: be the one against a Patriots team that really struggles

623
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 6: to not just score points but also defend opposing offenses.

624
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 4: And the second running back, Chubba Hubbard, the Carolina running

625
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 4: back at Washington.

626
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has been excellent. How great has Chuba been

627
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 6: for Carolina filling in for Jonathan Brooks? You know, Brooks

628
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 6: their second round pick out of Texas towards ACL less

629
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 6: than a year ago. Still, it was in November of

630
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four. So while we know that players can

631
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 6: come back from ACL teires, Chewba Hubbard has done a

632
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 6: darn good job of allowing Carolina to be extra patient

633
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 6: with Jonathan Brooks. Every time I turn, Chewba Hubbard is

634
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 6: running for ninety plus yards and catching a handful of passes.

635
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 6: You know, in fantasy football running back target volume is

636
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 6: so so important. The yards are nice as well. But

637
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 6: just to see the targets is so important, especially in

638
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 6: PPR scoring, which of course in FanDuel that is exactly

639
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 6: what we are dealing with right here. So Cuba at

640
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 6: seventy four hundred dollars a great price. And you guys

641
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 6: watched that Baltimore game last weekend against the Commander The

642
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 6: Commanders really struggled to defend the rug run that showed

643
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 6: up last week with Dejerrick Henry. Wouldn't surprise me that

644
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 6: shows up early in this game as well against the

645
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 6: Carolina Panthers.

646
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Probably Jonathan Allen not playing coming off that peck

647
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 2: injury kind of weekends that run defense for Washington.

648
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 3: A little bit hour.

649
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wide receivers, this is where you usually spend every

650
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 2: week and this week's no different.

651
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 6: No different as well, that's right. Alman Ross Saint Brown

652
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 6: for the Lions up first, and a Monro hasn't been

653
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 6: great so far this season, guys, relative to expectations. If

654
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 6: I told you he was averaging fewer Fantasy points per

655
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 6: game than Cuba Hubbard of the first six weeks, you

656
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 6: wouldn't have bought that. I can't imagine, But an eighty

657
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 6: eight hundred dollars. He does seem to be in a

658
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 6: smash spot. This game against Minnesota is one that could

659
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 6: end up being a shootout, both offenses playing at a

660
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 6: very very high level. Of note, of course, both defenses

661
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 6: have held up their end of the bargain as well,

662
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 6: but they're each facing their toughest task of the season.

663
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 6: And Amonrock crushed Vikings last year. As we know, all

664
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 6: Monro so good in the slot as a wide receiver.

665
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 6: That's been an area that it's just harder to put

666
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 6: your best defensive players in the slot at cornerback because

667
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 6: there's so much more traffic that is preventing them from

668
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 6: playing man demand coverage exclusively throughout the course of a game.

669
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 6: So all Monro and a good smash spot there at

670
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 6: eighty eight hundred dollars, and we'll follow that up with

671
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 6: even more firepower at that wide receiver spot. And next

672
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 6: up we have Deontay Johnson from the Carolina Panthers, who

673
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 6: last check still not practicing as of yet this week,

674
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 6: but Dave Canalis, their head coach, did seem to indicate

675
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 6: that he's going to give it a go. Wouldn't surprise

676
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 6: me if they're in veteran load management with him, guy

677
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 6: who's been around long enough and has been a huge

678
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 6: part of this offensive attack. Seventy one hundred dollars is

679
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 6: the price there for Deontay Johnson. I mentioned how the

680
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 6: Commanders have struggled to stop the run, Well, they've struggled

681
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 6: to stop everything. They're a very good offensive team and

682
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 6: a very lackluster defensive team. Right now, Deontay Johnson, since

683
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 6: Andy Dalton became the starting quarterback for the Caroline Panthers,

684
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 6: has taken off. He's a top five fantasy wide receiver

685
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 6: both in terms of targets and receptions in that time.

686
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 6: So plenty of volume there for Deontay Johnson. And then

687
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 6: finally it's Molik Neighbors. So you're getting perhaps a bit

688
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 6: of a discount on this week because he has been

689
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 6: out for the past couple of games. Three hundred bucks

690
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 6: for the number one scoring wide receiver in fantasy football.

691
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 6: That's normally not the price you're going to see for

692
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 6: Elik Neighbors, but that probably comes to an end this weekend.

693
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 6: Is at the beginning of the week, fan duel had

694
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 6: to bake in the possibility that he would not play well.

695
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 6: Eighty three hundred dollars. He's just too good to ignore,

696
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 6: So give him Elak Neighbors against Philadelphia, who has just

697
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 6: been so wretched to me. They have not figured it

698
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 6: out still in the secondary dating back to the middle

699
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 6: of basically last season. Philly is an interesting team to

700
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 6: figure out just in general. But a good opportunity here

701
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 6: for Lake Neighbors to not just get back into the lineup,

702
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 6: but have a great game here against that Philly defense.

703
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 4: And then I think the Bills are interested in this.

704
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 4: David and Joku for Cleveland because the guys in Cleveland

705
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 4: there's going to be a few more targets to go

706
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 4: around now that Amari Cooper is a Buffalo Bill.

707
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 6: That's the calculus. Is Amari Cooper is now Buffalo Bill,

708
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 6: means David and Jokho is going to be a busier man.

709
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 6: And Mario was commanding about twenty five percent of all

710
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 6: throws from Deshaun Watson. Well, those have to be dispersed elsewhere.

711
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 6: Other options include Centric Tillman, their third round pick last year,

712
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 6: and Jerry Judy, who the acquired via trade this offseason.

713
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 6: But David and Joko's the most reliable player in this offense,

714
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 6: and Amari Cooper now being gone means he should remain

715
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 6: that player for much of the rest of this season.

716
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 6: As you guys know that Cleveland offense is just an

717
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 6: absolute mess in so many ways. It's one of the

718
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 6: reasons why Mary Cooper was available in a trade to

719
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 6: the Buffalo Bills. But give me David and Joku priced

720
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 6: at a low amount there for our tight end. And

721
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 6: we need tight end as badly as any position in

722
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 6: fantasy football right now, because it has been a disaster

723
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 6: season for the most part for that spot.

724
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 2: And you can kind of make the same argument for

725
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: your flex pick because DeVante Adams is not in Las

726
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 2: Vegas anymore.

727
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 4: That's right.

728
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 6: Chacoby Myers priced low this week as well for a

729
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 6: guy who's probably the number one pass catcher in his

730
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 6: own offense for the rest of the season, or at

731
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 6: least alongside Brock Bauers. Fifty eight, one hundred dollars for

732
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 6: Jacoby Myers. You missed last week's game, but had nine

733
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 6: targets nine or eight targets in each of the past

734
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 6: three games prior to that. Jacoby Meyers steps into that

735
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 6: wide receiver one role. He is dealing with an ankle

736
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 6: injury himself, assuming he gives it a go this weekend.

737
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 6: It's also a very good matchup. This Rams defense has

738
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 6: been a much different force than it was last year. Now,

739
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 6: some of that is as simple as you lose one

740
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 6: of the greatest, if not the greatest offensive players of

741
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 6: all time and Aaron Donald, you're going to see a

742
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 6: bit of a regression. But they're really young in the secondary.

743
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 6: Trey White, Tredavius White, who Bill's fans of course no

744
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 6: is signed this offseason. He's become a healthy scratch la Rams.

745
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 6: This is a team that's really trying to figure it

746
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 6: out at that cornerback spot. Could mean good things for

747
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 6: that Vegas passing offense. And Jacoby Meyers should be the

748
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 6: busiest of all those Raiders pass catchers.

749
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 4: And then you picked the return home game of Saquon

750
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 4: Barkley and took the New York Giants defense to round

751
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 4: things out. How do you think this is going to

752
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: turn out? Yeah?

753
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 6: Well, A couple of things to note here is that's

754
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 6: been a good sack artist defense. They up over twenty

755
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 6: sacks already. Amongst the league leaders are the New York

756
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 6: Giants and price it just thirty two hundred dollars one

757
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 6: of the lower prices on the board. Keep in mind, too,

758
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 6: toured to mylotta, the Eagles starting left tackle looks very

759
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 6: sketchy for this game on Sunday, So if they don't

760
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 6: have one of their best offensive players, then that should

761
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 6: mean good things for guys like Brian Burns and Dexter

762
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 6: Lawrence and the rest of the playmakers up front for

763
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 6: the New York Giants. So the Giants a good opportunity

764
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 6: to kind of punt on the price of a defense

765
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 6: at thirty two hundred bucks and I'm in there. Philly's

766
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 6: offense again, I think, leaves something to be desired. We

767
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 6: have explosive playmakers, and aj Brown looked very much like

768
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 6: he was all the way back last week, as did

769
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 6: DeVante Smith. But they just have not been nearly as

770
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 6: well oiled as they were at the beginning of last

771
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 6: season in the year prior to that, Philly one of

772
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 6: the great mystery teams in the NFL this season to me.

773
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: All, right, Field, so we've been asking everybody, so we

774
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: may as well ask you as well, what do you

775
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: think is realistic for Amari Cooper on a short week

776
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 2: coming in to help the Bills against the Titans this

777
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: Sunday package of plays.

778
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 3: Is that kind of what we're thinking.

779
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 6: Or package of plays? Yeah, I think, you know, maybe

780
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 6: fifty percent of the snaps would be a nice It

781
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 6: would be a big number there for Mario to get to.

782
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 6: I'll set that is sort of like the line that

783
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 6: I think is pretty reasonable to expect. Some of it

784
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 6: could be a bit dependent upon the game flow as well.

785
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 6: If this team gets up a little bit against the

786
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 6: Titans offense it is really struggling, you might not need

787
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 6: Amari Cooper as much, but this is the one week

788
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 6: where this takes place. Right, They're back in the fold

789
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 6: the following week, and it would not surprise me if

790
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 6: from Week eight on a Mario Cooper is close to

791
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 6: an every down player for the Buffalo Bills. Given some

792
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 6: of the wide receiver struggles this season, just haven't gotten

793
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 6: a time from that position. None of the wide receivers

794
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 6: has been commanding even a fifteen percent target share, So

795
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 6: Josh has been doing a nice job of spreading things

796
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 6: all the way around the offense, but they simply need

797
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 6: more explosion out of the wide receiver room. We've seen

798
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 6: that rear itself in a couple of games recently. You

799
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 6: need big plays to kind of go punch for punch

800
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 6: with the better offenses that are going to be on

801
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 6: your schedule. And acquiring a Mark Cooper for a very

802
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 6: modest price, to me is a good way to accomplish that.

803
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: Field's always great talking with you. Thanks for spending some

804
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 4: time with us.

805
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 6: See you guys do it again next week.

806
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 3: Yep, sounds good.

807
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: That's Field Yates joining us ESPN NFL Insider, Fantasy football

808
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 2: analyst and host of ESPN's Fantasy Focus Live. And you'll

809
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: have the week eight lineup for us next week. You

810
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 2: want to want to hit him up hard on that.

811
00:41:54,840 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: Drake may repassing touchdowns against the Texans last week, and

812
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 2: the Texans are a little depleted in the secondary. Kamari

813
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: Lassiter got injured in the game against the Bills and

814
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 2: he's got a fractured scapulous way in Jacksonville.

815
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe, I don't know. There's nobody that's I get it.

816
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 4: You're not gonna take Russ Wilson, right, I mean, yeah,

817
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 4: it's okay. You're trying to get some value. That's the

818
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 4: key thing. You forget. You don't want to. Yeah, and the.

819
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks are always priced high.

820
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't always afford the best guy in fantasy

821
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,959
Speaker 4: because you got to spread out the money. And Drake

822
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 4: may though I saw that, I was like, what, yeah, here,

823
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 4: but three touchdown passes, that's a lot. And he threw

824
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 4: in some rushing yards, okay, and you figure he's gonna

825
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 4: get better. Jacksonville's probably probably not as good, certainly not

826
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 4: as good as Houston, so maybe it will have a

827
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 4: better day.

828
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: Break time here for us, back with plenty more here

847
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: This week's winner is Adam, who asks, knowing both Jim

848
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: and Josh, is there a similarity in the mindset slash

849
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: leadership towards the pursuit of winning a championship between the two.

850
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 3: Or is there a difference?

851
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 4: There is a difference. They're different quarterbacks. And you know,

852
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 4: I'll give you a little straight at this way. Everybody saying,

853
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 4: you know, Josh, you got that kind of Golden Retriever mentality.

854
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 4: You know, he's everybody's best friend and everybody loves him

855
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 4: and stuff. That's that's if Josh is a Golden retriever.

856
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 4: Jim was a pit bull and this just did. Yeah.

857
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 4: They're both dogs, right, They're both dogs. And you'll find

858
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 4: people who will die on the hill that their dog

859
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 4: is better than your dog. You'll have find people who

860
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 4: love their pities and wouldn't have any other dog and

861
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 4: just love them to death. And Golden's the same way. Right,

862
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 4: you can win, and I believe you can win a

863
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 4: championship with either one of those dudes. And now, certainly

864
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 4: Jim never got a with the crew I was on.

865
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 4: We took four swings at it. And Josh, although he

866
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 4: has yet to get to the super Bowl, we all

867
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 4: can see how good he is and how good he

868
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 4: can be. So yeah, there, they are different, there, I was.

869
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 4: That's a good question because they are different. Both great quarterbacks,

870
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 4: both great, but they're vastly different even in their personality

871
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 4: on the field. Jim was an angry, competitive kind of

872
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 4: a sibling kind of brother. Never you know, never you

873
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 4: never take any six right, you never take any you

874
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 4: never take any guff off your siblings, right, because you

875
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 4: know him. And Jim was like that with everybody. He

876
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 4: was a fiery competitor and held all of his teammates

877
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 4: to a high standard. Josh, you got you know Josh

878
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 4: just everybody loves him. They they're competing hard for him.

879
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 4: They want to they want to come through for him, right.

880
00:45:55,719 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 4: Both of them are just absolute competitive dudes. Man. They're

881
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 4: both like I say, they're both dogs. But they are different.

882
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 4: They're very different. And Jim was on the right team

883
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 4: at the right time. And I believe Josh is too there.

884
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 4: But that's the difference between them. And if you could

885
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 4: illustrate it like that, you know, Josh is a golden

886
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 4: Retriever for everybody's best buddy, and Jim was a pity

887
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 4: he was a pit bull. And like I said, the

888
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 4: owners of those dog breeds out out there in the listening,

889
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 4: they'll they'll die on that hill at their dogs, right. Yeah,

890
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 4: So there's nothing wrong with either one of them. And uh,

891
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 4: I believe you know, in that day and age, none,

892
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 4: none of their teammates would trade him for anybody else.

893
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 2: Total Sports Enterprises is hosting a meet and greet on Friday,

894

Speaker 2: along from practice now that the meeting viewing media viewing

917
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 2: portion of.

918
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 3: Practice is closed.

919
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 2: First, Deikwon Jones is the only non participant and it's

920
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 2: due to a veteran rest day, so everybody participating in

921
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 2: at least some capacity. There are four players wearing red

922
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: non contact jerseys. They are Mac Collins, Dalton Kincaid, Terrell Bernard,

923
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: and Tarren Johnson. We should also note that Josh Allen,

924
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: for the first time, is not wearing a glove on

925
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 2: his left non throwing hand. As we know since week one,

926
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: when he landed on his own hand diving into the

927
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: end zone against Arizona.

928
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 4: He has elbow came down in his other elbows elbow.

929
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 3: Came down on his hand.

930
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: He has been wearing a left glove in practice and

931
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 2: in games. Not doing that today. So perhaps his hand,

932
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 2: his non throwing hand, is fully healed, and could that

933
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: mean a little more scrambling now that he has his

934
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 2: stiff arm back, because we haven't seen.

935
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 4: Him kind of stiff arm that guy in the Jet

936
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 4: game coming out of the end zone on the a

937
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 4: little bit long through the forty two yarder to Ray.

938
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's well, there you go. And I'll say it, man,

939
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 4: wouldn't it be nice to be healthy? I don't say

940
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 4: that as a six two year old, I'm saying that

941
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 4: as a Bills fan. Wouldn't that be nice to be

942
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 4: as well?

943
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 3: It's trending that way.

944
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're getting hopefully they get Oliver and Cook back

945
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 2: this week.

946
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 4: And certainly never get out of these games scott free.

947
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 4: There's always something. But yeah it man, it beats where

948
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 4: we were weeks one, two and three.

949
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, no, I don't there's no debate about that one.

969
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 3: some time.

970
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 2: I'll begin with the positive. The defense has been playing

971
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 2: lights out here. They're atop the league and total defense,

972
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 2: past defense, a number of other categories. Uh to what

973
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: do you attribute the early season's success on that side

974
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 2: of the ball.

975
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 5: Well, they've got they've got good players at all three levels,

976
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 5: you know. And of course Jeffery Simmons you know, has

977
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 5: been out. He's back and so he's a big deal

978
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 5: up inside. But Dinnard Wilson, the defensive coordinator, Frank Bush,

979
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 5: who's the you know, the linebacker coach, Tracy Rockers, the

980
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 5: defensive They got really really experienced coaches on the defensive

981
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 5: side of it. These players are are are are playing

982
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 5: the way they've been coached and they and it's a

983
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 5: it's an aggressive style. I mean you can see it

984
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 5: on tape. They're gonna play a lot of man to man.

985
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 5: They're gonna try to get a four man rush as

986
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 5: well as they can, but then they'll bring heat. Our

987
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 5: coach with all of these guys for five years at

988
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 5: the RAMS, both in Saint Louis and n LA, so

989
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 5: I kind of know what their mo o is, and uh,

990
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 5: they they demand a lot of their players in the

991
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 5: meetings and on the practice field, and so far, I

992
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 5: mean it's been you know, they've but you know, they've

993
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 5: only won one ball game, so that's the bottom line

994
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 5: for anything. But the defensive side of it is is

995
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 5: playing pretty well overall.

996
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 4: How's Brian Callahan handled this point of the season. Obviously

997
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 4: it's a slow start. How's you know, what's the vibe

998
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 4: coming out and what are those coaches that you know

999
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 4: so well say about him?

1000
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, they they like him. Look, he's even

1001
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 5: though he's a young coach. I mean, it's like a

1002
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 5: lot of these young coaches frushed on the offensive side

1003
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 5: of the ball nowadays the National Football League. They may

1004
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 5: be young chronologically, but they've been in the league for

1005
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 5: a while. Of course, he's been around this league for

1006
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 5: a long time, you know, with his with his dad,

1007
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 5: So I mean he understands the issues that that's going on,

1008
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 5: and that I mean, that's just and you know, I

1009
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 5: do a lot of speaking engagements around Nashville every week.

1010
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 5: And the question that that I'm asked now that they're

1011
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 5: you know, they're they're sitting there at one to four,

1012
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 5: is you know, how do you get out of it? Now?

1013
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 5: That said way, you got to win your way out

1014
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 5: of it. The thirty one seasons that I coach in

1015
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 5: this league, I've been in this situation twice and the

1016
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 5: only way that you get out of it you got

1017
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 5: to win your way out of it. And to do that,

1018
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 5: you've got to make plays when they're available to be made,

1019
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 5: and there's no shortcut to it.

1020
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 2: And obviously they've got to score more points than they

1021
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: have lately. What has been the biggest sticking point there.

1022
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to put all the blame on the quarterback, Levis,

1023
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 2: because we know how that typically happens. They get all

1024
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 2: too much of the credit and too much of the blame.

1025
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 2: But what are the sticking points there that have made

1026
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 2: the passing game so disjointed for them?

1027
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1028
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 5: Well, and then the issues early on were is they

1029
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 5: weren't They weren't progressing the change on first and taking

1030
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 5: down so people were able to get in the track

1031
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 5: stances and just come after them. And the offensive line,

1032
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 5: you know, being a brand new, brand new group together

1033
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 5: was not handling that the rushes very well, especially on

1034
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 5: third and seven plus when the defense is not in

1035
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 5: a conflict situation. Now that they've been able to start

1036
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 5: running the ball a little better, start to progress the

1037
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 5: change some you know, Now now you've got a chance

1038
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 5: for the for the play action game and also from

1039
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 5: the down the field game to work. But they've taken

1040
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 5: they've taken shots. They've gone into the fourth quarters of

1041
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 5: these of three of the four games they've lost, you know,

1042
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 5: with the lead or with a chance to take the

1043
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 5: lead with a one score game and be able to

1044
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 5: flip it. They haven't been able to do that. So

1045
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 5: they've got to make plays offensively, and they've got to

1046
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 5: They're they're they're running the ball very well, but they've

1047
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 5: got to connect on I mean, nowadays in the National

1048
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 5: Football League, you guys know as well as I do that.

1049
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 5: You know you've got to make plays down the field,

1050
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 5: and they haven't made enough of them yet.

1051
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 4: On offense, Will Levis is limited in practice, got a

1052
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 4: righte sholder. How serious is that, Dave? And is it?

1053
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 4: Is it any even an issue for this week?

1054
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't ask him, Steve. I'm not

1055
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 5: in that meeting. I'm not in the meetings anymore. I

1056
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 5: used to make those decisions for thirty one years. I don't.

1057
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 5: I mean he's practicing. He practiced, he practiced last week.

1058
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 5: So until they make a final declaration on him, I

1059
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 5: don't know, but he is practicing this.

1060
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 2: Week and then just with the pecking order in the

1061
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 2: receiving corps, we know Calvin Ridley was you know, qu

1062
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 2: did pretty heavily after some of his comments after last

1063
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 2: week saying they got to throw me the ball, but

1064
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: he had eight targets and he didn't have a single reception.

1065
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 2: What is what has been the disconnect there? Is it

1066
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: ball location? Is really dropping the ball? I mean, he

1067
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 2: obviously came out of school as a highly decorated receiver.

1068
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 3: What's what's been missing there?

1069
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 5: It's both, It's both, and of course Rid you know,

1070
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 5: it is frustrated, just like you know, all of these

1071
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 5: all these players are frustrated because they realized that, you know,

1072
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 5: they've had three ball games and they've had a chance

1073
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 5: to win and haven't. And you know, of course, Steve's

1074
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 5: a long time vet in this league as a player,

1075
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 5: and the frustration comes when when you're when you're playing

1076
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 5: close enough to getting wins, but you're not getting wins.

1077
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 5: Because really, as hard as this business is for coaches

1078
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 5: and players involved, you can talk about all the money

1079
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 5: that we get paid in this league, but nothing the

1080
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 5: rewards are winning games and they haven't been rewarded but

1081
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 5: one time this year. That's where the frustration is set in.

1082
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 5: But I mean they they they practiced good. I mean

1083
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 5: and they they every all of that stuff is in place.

1084
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 5: They just have to make plays to win the game.

1085
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 5: That frustration is what seeks in.

1086
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you got your young quarterback and Will

1087
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 4: Levis and certainly he's shown some flashes of being really good.

1088
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 4: And then also he's yeah that overly competitive him trying

1089
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 4: to make stuff happen. He's making, you know, made silly

1090
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 4: mistakes during early in the season. Has he started to

1091
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 4: smooth that out a little bit?

1092
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 5: I mean, you know those two egregious mistakes that he

1093
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 5: made that basically you know, gave points and and and

1094
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 5: gave points away in close ball games. I mean, those

1095
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 5: were those weren't even competition errors. I mean those were

1096
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 5: errors that those were mental errors. Those were mental ayeras

1097
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 5: that had devastating effects. And so he's gotten he's gotten

1098
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 5: better at that, but you got to start making some

1099
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 5: competition throws and and you know as well as I do. Look,

1100
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 5: you got a quarterback up there that was chastised early

1101
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 5: on in his career, you know, about turning the ball

1102
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 5: over and decision making and and everything when I was

1103
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 5: into one hundred start and he's one of the most

1104
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 5: he's one of the elite UH quarterbacks in this league now.

1105
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 5: So it takes time. You cannot manufacture the experience, but

1106
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 5: that you've got to learn. I mean learning experiences are

1107
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,959
Speaker 5: only valuable if you learn from them. And that's where

1108
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 5: this quarterback is right now.

1109
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 2: Slipping it back to the defensive side. I mean, I

1110
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 2: think a lot of people expected, you know, the left

1111
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: tackle JC Latham to come in start right away, but

1112
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: they've got two other rookies starting on the defensive side

1113
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 2: of the ball, you know, with the corner Brownlee and

1114
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 2: obviously to and Andre Sweat. How we've heard good things

1115
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 2: about the Simmons Sweat combination in the middle of that

1116
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 2: defensive team's just been it's just been impossible to run

1117
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 2: on those guys inside.

1118
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 5: Well, not really because they haven't been again. Of course,

1119
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 5: you know, Big Jeff missed the Miami game, and then

1120
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 5: of course to and Andre then started really playing across

1121
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,479
Speaker 5: the front, and then Cobran gets hurt, so so Big

1122
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 5: Sweat really with a couple with a couple of three

1123
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 5: other guys, you know, really did a nice job inside.

1124
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 5: We still haven't seen I think the full effect of

1125
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 5: that combination yet. Now that now that Jeff his back

1126
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 5: and they're both playing together, and Sweat has has really

1127
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 5: done He's done a nice job, he really has. He's

1128
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 5: taken the Tracy Rockers coaching. He also under understood the

1129
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 5: importance of coming in and getting in in the NFL condition.

1130
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 5: You guys all know there's a difference between collegiate conditioning

1131
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 5: and NFL conditioning. He's taken he's taken that to heart. So,

1132
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 5: I mean he's been on a nice track.

1133
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 6: Now.

1134
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 4: We all know the.

1135
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 5: Key to success and being and being deemed a successful

1136
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 5: player in this league is doing it week after week

1137
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 5: after week. He's on that track, uh, you know, and

1138
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 5: looking forward to him continue to doing that, but really

1139
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 5: looking forward to he and Jeff working together and there

1140
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 5: for an extended period of time. They haven't really been

1141
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 5: together a whole lot yet.

1142
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 4: What have the Titans done well on either or both

1143
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 4: sides of the ball this year that they can kind

1144
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 4: of hang their hats on at this point. I know

1145
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 4: it's a very slow start, But offensively, where's their strength lie?

1146
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 4: And the same thing defensively, where do you think the

1147
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 4: engine is for this team?

1148
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 5: Well, they can run the ball. I mean they can

1149
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 5: run the ball. The offensive line you know, is young,

1150
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 5: but they're very physical. They're they're going to run the ball.

1151
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 5: You know, you got you got Pollard and Taij Spears.

1152
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 5: Taij is a little bit nicked up. I don't know,

1153
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 5: you know what his situation will be with that hamstring.

1154
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 5: It's a it's a day to day type thing. You know,

1155
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 5: we all know how hamstrings are. But Pollard and they've

1156
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 5: been running the football very very well on offense, and

1157
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 5: I think they can they can hang their hat on that,

1158
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 5: but you have to have you have to have that

1159
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 5: other element too in your offense. Defensively, they're just playing good,

1160
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 5: solid football. They don't give up many explosives.

1161
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

1162
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 5: And and there's there's not a whole lot of panic

1163
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 5: they're they they're playing very physical defensively. But uh, you

1164
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 5: know all the defenses I've ever coached in this league

1165
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 5: that have been successful, I mean it's about being able.

1166
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 5: It's about being able to keep points off of the board.

1167
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 5: But it's also, uh, the ability to be able to

1168
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 5: play consistently down in and down out and not panic

1169
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 5: if the ball starts getting moved a little bit because

1170
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 5: it's going to get moved. In the National Football League,

1171
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just life. I mean I used to

1172
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 5: do a go board when I was coaching there at

1173
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 5: the Bears, and which say, you know, to keep an

1174
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 5: offense under two hundred and fifteen yards a game. Well,

1175
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 5: that never happens anymore. I mean some people have that

1176
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 5: in the first quarter, So I mean that's out the window.

1177
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 5: But you have to have enough patience and enough ability,

1178
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 5: especially to clamp things down and also be able to

1179
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 5: make some adjustments on the run. They're savvy enough in

1180
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 5: their coaching staff and also vetered enough with their players

1181
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 5: that they can do that. So all of those things

1182
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 5: I think have added up to them playing pretty decent

1183
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 5: defense to this point.

1184
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 2: Now.

1185
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 5: Of course, you know, nobody's happy sitting here at one

1186
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 5: and four, but I think if you grind it down

1187
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 5: at least you've got to keep playing defense like this

1188
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 5: to give yourself a chance.

1189
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 2: Last one I've got for you coach concerns. You know,

1190
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 2: the vast amount of resources that the Titans utilize this

1191
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 2: offseason to acquire lagerious Sneed via trade from Kansas City,

1192
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 2: and then they give them the big contract, you know,

1193
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 2: four year, seventy six million, so that the chiefs in

1194
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: Spagnolo would often put Sneed in the slot. Is he

1195
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: strictly working outside for the Titans or will he spend

1196
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 2: any time in there?

1197
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of it depends on what the

1198
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 5: matchups are. He spending most of his time most of

1199
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 5: his time outside, you know, And I don't even really seriously, guys,

1200
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 5: I've been doing this long enough this month, thirty eighth

1201
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 5: straight year in this league that the numbers now don't

1202
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 5: even phase me because basically, that's just the price of

1203
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 5: doing business nowadays.

1204
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 4: You guys know that, Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and then

1205
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 4: nobody cares what they're paying you if you're the guy

1206
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 4: standing in the end zone after an interception. So yeah,

1207
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 4: everybody's on board with the contract when that happens. Dave,

1208
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 4: thanks so much for spending some time with us. Hope

1209
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 4: to cross paths with you on Sunday.

1210
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 5: Guys, you guys are the best. Thanks for having me own.

1211
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 4: Thanks, coach, you appreciate it.

1212
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 2: That's Dave McGinnis, former NFL head coach who's a defensive

1213
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 2: coordinator with the Titans for a while as well, which

1214
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: explains the connection as now he is the radio color

1215
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 2: commentator on the Titans radio network. And yeah, I'm trying

1216
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 2: to get a handle on I mean, their defense has

1217
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 2: household names on it, like guys, you recognize Harold Landry,

1218
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Simmons obviously a perennial Pro Bowl defensive tackle. They

1219
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 2: get the big gun in the secondary and Lagarious Sneed

1220
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 2: and then they got Quandre Diggs, an absolute steel. I mean,

1221
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 2: he's a salary cap casualty in Seattle. They can't afford

1222
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 2: to keep him. They release him, and the Titans scoop

1223
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: him up for one year and five million dollars. You

1224
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 2: remember how soft the safety market was this offseason, and

1225
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 2: he's just sitting out there drifting out there, He's sitting

1226
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 2: out there drifting. They're like, hey, come play for us

1227
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 2: for a year for five million, and you can get

1228
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 2: back into free agency next year maybe the market's better.

1229
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a coup getting that guy, veteran player.

1230
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: I mean, dosn't have a lot of interceptions in his career,

1231
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 2: but he gets his hands on balls. Think he's got

1232
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 2: twenty seven pass breakups the last four years. Josh is

1233
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 2: gonna have to know where Quandre Diggs is in the.

1234
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 4: Defense to Spackfield and McGinnis's right, I mean, they're not

1235
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 4: turning the ball over defensively, They're not getting they got

1236
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 4: like one interception on the year. They're not getting turnovers,

1237
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 4: but they're hard to move the ball on. They're keeping

1238
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 4: people out of the end zone, and they're a little

1239
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 4: bit like, you know, not I don't want to say, Ben,

1240
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 4: but don't break. But they're just one of those horror

1241
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 4: everything make you lift. You got to earn every yard.

1242
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 4: They're very sound. One of their coaches, he said he

1243
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 4: had Frank Bush, the linebacker coach. I got drafted with

1244
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 4: him by the Oilers in Houston and he was a

1245
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 4: really good player, but had got diagnosed with stenosis finally,

1246
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 4: so he said, you know what, I'm I'm done, and

1247
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 4: he became a coach. He's been coaching ever since, has

1248
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 4: had a really good career. He knows he's got to

1249
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 4: be coaching for like over thirty. He knows really what

1250
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 4: he's doing. He's a really good coach. And so they've

1251
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 4: got a lot of experience on that staff. And you know,

1252
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 4: so that's that's the way their defense plays. They just

1253
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 4: nothing slips through the crack on these guys.

1254
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 2: Right, So it wouldn't shock me if you know they're

1255
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 2: able to help hold Tennessee.

1256
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 3: In this game for a little while.

1257
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely, No, I don't.

1258
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 3: I'm not expecting the Bills to run off.

1259
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 2: And leave them knowing how no, steady and consistently certainly

1260
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 2: has been.

1261
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 4: If will Levis starts slinging it around and they and

1262
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 4: they all get them that way if they turn it over.

1263
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 4: But defensively, you're right, I'm this is gonna be one

1264
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 4: of those games where if you can nick them for

1265
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 4: a big play, it's unusual because they're a lot like

1266
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 4: the Bills in that regard.

1267
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, they've had winnable games, games that they

1268
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 2: could have won, and last week is no exception.

1269
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 3: They're up on the Colts late.

1270
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 4: Colet score ten to Colts score the.

1271
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 2: Last ten points of the game, they went twenty to seventeen.

1272
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 2: That's kind of been the story they've been in games

1273
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 2: late and then their offense let lets them down. They

1274
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 2: can't put points on the board to put a team away,

1275
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 2: and then it gets done to them because their defense

1276
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 2: has been on the field so long. So that's been

1277
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 2: the sticking point for them. And obviously Will Levis has

1278
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 2: been a little careless with the football. I think his

1279
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 2: seven interceptions are the highest total in the league through

1280
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 2: six games. I mean, he's it's more than one per game.

1281
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 2: And I know he's lost a fumble or two as well,

1282
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 2: So he has been somewhat.

1283
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 4: Of his turnover machine as good. Yeah, and that is

1284
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 4: really crushed them as good as their defense have been

1285
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 4: They've They've only held their opponents under twenty points once

1286
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 4: and that was the Dolphins in Week four. They came

1287
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 4: off the bye week. Yeah, they came off the bye

1288
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 4: week last week and lost to the Colts after giving

1289
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 4: up the last ten points of the game. So I

1290
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 4: think perhaps maybe it is an issue with their defense.

1291
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 4: They start to get laid in games. They've been out

1292
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 4: there so long and they're trying to hang in their

1293
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 4: hanging their hang in there. It just gets too much

1294
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 4: for him at the end. Maybe. Uh. Yeah, the last

1295
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 4: thing that you can do for this Tennessee Titan seem

1296
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 4: is turn it over to them. You can't get you

1297
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 4: can't throw picks, and you can't give up fumbles because

1298
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 4: that's exactly what team like this need to do to

1299
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 4: beat you. So yeah, there's a lot in that Dave

1300
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,439
Speaker 4: mcginnison interview we just talked about. They've got a lot

1301
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 4: of talented, solid players at all three levels of their defense,

1302
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 4: and those are hard teams to play against, hard teams

1303
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 4: to play against.

1304
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 2: I mean, three of their four losses are all one

1305
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 2: score losses. The only team that really handled them was

1306
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 2: Green Bay.

1307
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 3: That beat him thirty to fourteen.

1308
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 2: They got one score losses in all of their other

1309
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 2: three losses, so they've been in the games late. I

1310
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 2: know the spread for this game this week is nine

1311
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 2: and a half. And as we know, this is a

1312
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 2: tough place to play, especially for a young quarterback like Levis.

1313
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 2: So I do anticipate the Bills trying to speed up

1314
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 2: his internal clock to make him make one of those

1315
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 2: mistakes and gift them one or two or three. Because

1316
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 2: we've seen a lot of low lights this year of

1317
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 2: Levis already, you know, on Sports after for other highlight shows.

1318
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 2: We've seen some low lights from him already, right, So

1319
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 2: they're gonna try to speed up his internal clock, I think,

1320
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 2: and try to get him to make some similar errors.

1321
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is gonna be an interesting game for lotteries. Certainly,

1322
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 4: it's going to be a beautiful day, one of those days, say,

1323
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 4: and it might be seventy now, yeah, Sonny, Yeah, it's

1324
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 4: gonna be spectacular, and I you know, Bill's Mafia will

1325
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 4: be out in full force. It'll be a fun game

1326
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 4: to be at, and certainly it's one of those games

1327
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 4: where you come in as the favorite, but Mary Cooper's

1328
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 4: arrival and there's a lot in this game a lot

1329
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 4: in this game. Yeah, I mean storylines. I mean the.

1330
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 2: Titans organization, though they've done everything to build it around

1331
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 2: Levis if you think about it. They hire Brian Callahan,

1332
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 2: a guy who was the offensive coordinator in Cincinnati under

1333
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor. So they bring in an offensive head coach.

1334
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 2: He brings his dad over from Washington to run the

1335
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 2: offensive line, which is got a ton of high draft

1336
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 2: choices on it, first and second, the third round picks,

1337
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 2: they just draft another in JC Latham, who's their starting

1338
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 2: left tackle at Alabama. And then they got household names

1339
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 2: at wide receiver for him to throw to DeAndre Hopkins,

1340
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 2: Tyler Boyd, Calvin Ridley, and then they put Tony Pollard

1341
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 2: in the backfield for him. And for some reason it

1342
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 2: still hasn't coalesced in jail.

1343
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, Levis has got a has got to step up.

1344
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 4: I mean, he's if you don't turn it over, you

1345
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 4: give yourself a chance. Oh yeah, look at the Steelers.

1346
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 4: That's right, they haven't turned the ball. That's right, if

1347
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 4: you don't turn it over again. And Bill's fans know

1348
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 4: this too from the young Josh Allen. Now Josh grew

1349
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 4: out of it and started scoring wave he didn't, you know,

1350
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 4: he kept turning it over, but he scored touchdowns. Yea.

1351
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 3: His point production, his point.

1352
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 4: Production was unbelievable. He didn't care, right, Will Levis not

1353
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 4: so much? He doesn't score and they don't score enough

1354
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 4: points to see what's going on. I mean, we're watching

1355
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 4: highlights where he tries he tries to later it to

1356
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 4: the running back whileing fall and then he's throwing it

1357
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 4: up for grabs against the Jets. You know, there's was

1358
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 4: the highlights. Man, they're rough, they're rough. Levis has not

1359
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 4: looked great and they're you know, he's just trying to

1360
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 4: do too much. He never wants to give up on

1361
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 4: a game. They have. They've won. The one game they

1362
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 4: won was in Miami. They have lost three home games. Uh,

1363
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 4: and here they're on the road again in Buffalo. They

1364
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 4: go think about their next couple of games. They go

1365
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 4: to Buffalo this week and they go to Detroit next week. Yeah,

1366
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 4: that's a tough stretch for there. That's just tough back

1367
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 4: to back for their schedule.

1368
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 2: So they're trying to climb out of a hole. The

1369
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 2: Bills are trying to keep on keeping on and get

1370
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 2: some momentum of their own. After ending their two game

1371
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 2: losing streak last Monday night. Uh, and they are coming

1372
01:09:56,680 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 2: off a short week here, so yeah, I don't oh,

1373
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 2: I the Bills should handle this team, you know what

1374
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 2: I mean, Like, just take care of business, check the box,

1375
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 2: go to the next one.

1376
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 3: That Tennessee defense makes me think they're gonna be.

1377
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 2: Able to keep them in the game for at least

1378
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,799
Speaker 2: a little while, maybe even through the first half. Because look,

1379
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 2: we got to remember this too, Steve. I mean, the

1380
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 2: Bills win the game last week twenty three to twenty,

1381
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 2: but they scored three points in the second half and

1382
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 2: the previous two weeks.

1383
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 3: What was the problem? Slow starts?

1384
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 2: They scored three points in the first half against Baltimore,

1385
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 2: three points in the first half against Houston, and then

1386
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 2: figured it out with some halftime adjustments.

1387
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:37,520
Speaker 3: Last week was the opposite.

1388
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 2: They come out like gangbusters and then everything dries up

1389
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 2: in the second half.

1390
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:45,799
Speaker 3: Right, So they can't keep doing that and expect to win.

1391
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 4: More than they lose. That's right. Luckily their defense is

1392
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 4: done just the same. Yeah, they've gotten off to slow starts,

1393
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 4: but then clamped it down. Both teams scored like what

1394
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 4: the Jets scored like six points on three quarters of

1395
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 4: that game two and a half, actually three games three

1396
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 4: points because it was twenty seventeen and a half. They

1397
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 4: scored three points in the second half, just like the

1398
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 4: Bills did. So it's it's one of those you.

1399
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 2: Know, arguably could have had more two missed field goals

1400
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:14,719
Speaker 2: in there, but yeah.

1401
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 4: The same with the Bills. And they had a touchdown

1402
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 4: called back, don't forget so yeah, on a holding on

1403
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 4: a holding penalty. So there's this game is it's gonna

1404
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 4: be exciting, You're gonna I wouldn't be surprised if it's

1405
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 4: a one score game, just like they have put up

1406
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 4: against the Bears, the Jets, and the Colts. Is last week,

1407
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 4: the Titans have scored seventeen points in three of their

1408
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 4: five games to this point. They had a bye week,

1409
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 4: so they only played five. They've scored seventeen points exactly

1410
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 4: in three of the five games and fourteen in the

1411
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 4: fourth of the five games. So they're struggling to get

1412
01:11:58,320 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 4: the ball in the end zone.

1413
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 2: So that would be that would presumably be the goal

1414
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 2: of Buffalo's defense. You hold them to seventeen or less,

1415
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 2: you're winning the.

1416
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 3: Football game, I would say, conceivably.

1417
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I know they have the number one defense,

1418
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 2: but that hasn't stopped these other opponents from hanging twenty

1419
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 2: four on them, thirty on them. I mean, they're not

1420
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 2: number one in points allowed that Let's be clear. They're

1421
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 2: number one in total defense, which is total yards, and

1422
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 2: they're number one against the pass, so you know it might.

1423
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,839
Speaker 2: We talked to Dani Rolofski earlier this week about the Titans,

1424
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 2: and he said, with dev Andre Sweat and Jeffrey Simmons

1425
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,719
Speaker 2: in the middle of that defensive front, it's his opinion

1426
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 2: that the Bills need to attack the edges of the

1427
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 2: Tennessee defensive front in the run game and not try

1428
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 2: to go right up the middle because those guys are

1429
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 2: just gonna swallow everything up in between the tackles. So

1430
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 2: be interesting to see what kind of game plan is

1431
01:12:55,760 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 2: crafted by Joe Brady to a attack that and have counters.

1432
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 3: To go off of that.

1433
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 2: And look, we have every right to be encouraged about

1434
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 2: the run game after the exploits of Ray Davis last week,

1435
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 2: but hopefully Cook re enters the fold and what he

1436
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 2: gives you is speed to the edge, and if you're

1437
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 2: gonna be attacking the edges, of that defense. Cook is

1438
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 2: probably a little bit better option than Ray Davis since

1439
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 2: he's got, you know, a little more juice in terms

1440
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 2: of burst and explosiveness.

1441
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Titans are middle of the pack in points

1442
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 4: allowed with twenty two points a game.

1443
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're not scoring twenty themselves.

1444
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 4: Yeah on average, that's right. That's why they're one and four.

1445
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 4: So teams have been able to get enough going. But

1446
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 4: they're top five in every major statistical tech category, every

1447
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 4: one of them, every one of them. And so you're

1448
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 4: gonna have your work cutout for you.

1449
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 2: We are gonna step aside and take a break here

1450
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 2: as we are on the bottom of the hour, and

1451
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 2: we'll see if we can get some post practice down

1452
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 2: from the post practice podium when we return here. On

1453
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by Colid of Health, it's Buffalo

Speaker 2: be joined in studio now by Bill's tight end Dawson

1457
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 2: Knox and player Interview appearances on One Bill's Live are

01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 2: presented by Tim Horton's.

1459
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 3: Tim Horton's, the official coffee of the Buffalo bills.

1460
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 2: How you doing, man, I heard your dulcet tones out

1461
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 2: in the hallway. I said, those velvet pipes can only

1462
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 2: belong to one man, Dawson knock.

1463
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for that.

1464
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys having me on. It's been a good,

1465
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: good week of practice so far.

1466
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to I want to rewind a little

1467
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 2: bit because you know, I don't have to tell you,

1468
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,719
Speaker 2: but I think the two games leading up to last week,

1469
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to just say the passing game

1470
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 2: is a little disjointed, some disconnects there. And I was

1471
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 2: talking to coach Brad going into last week's game and

1472
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 2: he was stressing communication for the offense and to kind

1473
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 2: of get the passing game back in sync the other

1474
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 2: thing too, And I had just thought of this, and

1475
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 2: then watching you score the touchdown last week, I was like,

1476
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 2: I wonder how much these guys were working on scramble

1477
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 2: drills in practice, because if you think about it, it's

1478
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:25,639
Speaker 2: basically you, Dalton and Khalil who know how to operate

1479
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 2: in scramble drills with Josh Allen on a regular basis

1480
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 2: because you've done it for years.

1481
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 3: Everybody else is brand new to that.

1482
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 2: That circus, So how much did you guys work on

1483
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 2: scrambled drills?

1484
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 3: Like, that's not the only thing you work on, but.

1485
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,200
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, like to get some of

1486
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:41,879
Speaker 2: these younger guys used to how Josh operates off script.

1487
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we worked on it almost I think

1488
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: every day last week. We do it a lot in camps.

1489
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: But sometimes you kind of forget to work on those

1490
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: off schedule plays during the season because we only get

1491
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: a certain amount of reps. We only get a certain

1492
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: amount of like game script looks and some lug defense

1493
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: that it's hard to get those scrambles in. But last

1494
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: week we had a few of them, and there are rules.

1495
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 4: Believe it or not.

1496
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: It's not just kind of running around and trying to

1497
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 1: get open, but it is also a chemistry thing you

1498
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: build with Josh. So getting some of these newer guys

1499
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: building some of that timing, building some of those rules

1500
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: and knowing where to go and when to be where

1501
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: you need to be was definitely a point of emphasis

1502
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:25,639
Speaker 1: last week.

1503
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 4: For the first time really in a minute, it seems

1504
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 4: like you had, you know, Khalil being out of the lineup,

1505
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 4: you had some guys bumping up and dropping down. How

1506
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 4: did that change? You know, it certainly had to change

1507
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 4: the way you were going to run your passing offense

1508
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 4: with Khalil being out of there. Your personnel groupings. Give

1509
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 4: us an idea about how that came about, how you

1510
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 4: handled that with Khalil being in and out and then

1511
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 4: the last week had a snap count, and how you

1512
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 4: prepared for that not knowing exactly who's going to be available.

1513
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a lot of props to the receiver

1514
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,759
Speaker 1: room specifically, because we have so many different arsonnel groups

1515
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: that all have different names that put guys at different positions.

1516
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 1: In a lot of the week, we didn't know whether

1517
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: or not Khalil would play, whether or not he'd be

1518
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: limited on a snap count, so those guys had to

1519
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 1: be a little extra lockdown because they might be moved

1520
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: into different positions they're not used to playing. You know,

1521
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: we even introduced some different forms of twelve personnel if

1522
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to play. So it was it was

1523
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 1: a lot to handle on the receivers, but I thought

1524
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: they did a good job stepping up.

1525
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 2: And you're an extension of this, but I mean the

1526
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 2: physical tone last week at the beginning of the game,

1527
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 2: Holy cow. I mean, I know, I know Ray's going

1528
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 2: to get all the notice because he was the guy

1529
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 2: carrying the ball, but like resetting the line of scrimmage

1530
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 2: like two three yards down the field like that first drive.

1531
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 2: I mean, guys are getting ulverized, and I mean that's

1532
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 2: I don't have to tell you, but that's a quality

1533
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 2: defensive front that you're just moving around like they're on

1534
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 2: roller skates.

1535
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 3: What the hell got into you?

1536
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 2: Guys? You made it such a stark contrast from the

1537
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 2: previous two weeks.

1538
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 4: Did you know it was going to be nine play drive,

1539
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 4: eight run, eight cold runs.

1540
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: We always have some openers, but I don't think we

1541
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,560
Speaker 1: expected nine or ten runs or whatever it was.

1542
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 3: I mean it was eight out of nine.

1543
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so we didn't expect that volume of running early.

1544
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: But I think setting the tone for us is always

1545
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: a point of emphasis. Like the physicality up front. Hats

1546
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 1: off to our O line. They just wore them out.

1547
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: Their coach really well. They play hard and they follow

1548
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: the football. And then even the I mean the one

1549
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: pass to Dalton where he runs over a guy. Yeah,

1550
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: it gets our sideline going. That kind of is a

1551
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 1: tone setting play for us. And then Ray running the ball,

1552
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: Tid Johnson running the ball. Those guys stepped up big

1553
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 1: time too, so O Line was working their tails off.

1554
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: But those physical runs, even run after catches, are big

1555
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: for game starters.

1556
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 3: All right.

1557
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 2: So being a veteran in the room and then you

1558
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 2: get a veteran coming in that's brand new in Amari Cooper.

1559
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 2: I'm always kind of fascinated by this in terms of

1560
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 2: the learning curve because obviously, anybody in the locker room, Hey,

1561
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 2: you ask me a question, I'm happy to help you out.

1562
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 3: But he's a ten year veteran.

1563
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 2: He's been traded in the middle of a season before

1564
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 2: in his career, so he's actually gone through something similar

1565
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:08,640
Speaker 2: to this.

1566
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:10,640
Speaker 3: How as veterans.

1567
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 2: In the room, do you kind of handle him, feel

1568
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:16,599
Speaker 2: him out, and you know, you don't want to be like, well,

1569
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 2: you know you want to do it this like the

1570
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 2: guy's done it. He's a proven player. Is it different

1571
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 2: when you have a proven player coming into the room

1572
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 2: as opposed to a young guy?

1573
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 3: For sure?

1574
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean I remember watching him when he was at Bama. Yeah,

1575
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 1: he's been so impressive for so long. But yeah, I

1576
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: mean with a guy like that, you kind of just

1577
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: maybe let him know Hey, Like, if you ever need anything,

1578
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: let me know, right Like, I'll help you out and

1579
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: help you learn a player to let you know where

1580
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: you know the cold dub is.

1581
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 3: How the scramble rules work with Josh.

1582
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a guy like that, he's been so

1583
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 1: incredible for so long that it's almost like you offer

1584
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,639
Speaker 1: the help if he ever wants it. But I mean

1585
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: he's going.

1586
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 4: To be able to figure it out pretty quick. Yeah.

1587
01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 4: That And what's been the what was the vibe like

1588
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 4: we heard ay we traded for Amari Cooper? Would the

1589
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 4: guy's in the locker room say?

1590
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's exciting anytime we get a big time

1591
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: playmaker like that. You know, you never know exactly how

1592
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna fit in immediately to the offense, But a

1593
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 1: talent like that, I mean, there's nothing but excitement just

1594
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: for the potential of what he can do for our team.

1595
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be fun to watch over these next

1596
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: few weeks.

1597
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:23,719
Speaker 2: All Right, it's time now for this week's tim Bits

1598
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 2: Time Out, presented by of course, Tim Horton's where we

1599
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 2: solicit the fans Easy for me to say to ask

1600
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 2: Bills players.

1601
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 3: A unique question.

1602
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 2: This week's question comes from Emily who asks, at this

1603
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 2: point in your career, what do you think is the

1604
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,759
Speaker 2: most valuable lesson slash skill you have learned?

1605
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 3: Go bills.

1606
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: It's a great question, first of all, So I think

1607
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 1: it was when I was at ole mess I was

1608
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: a walk on. It's a cliche, but hard work beats

1609
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: talent when talent doesn't work hard. It was one of

1610
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 1: those things kind of had to instill in myself of like,

1611
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have a scholarship, I don't really

1612
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: even have a spot on this team. I'm just trying

1613
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: to get to where I can get on the field somehow.

1614
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: And it was special teams at first, and that came

1615
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: through trying to work harder than everybody else, doing the

1616
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: actual workouts, doing the extra film study, eating the right way.

1617
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: So it just came down doing the extra stuff well

1618
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,839
Speaker 1: and trying to work harder than everybody.

1619
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, even even though you did get

1620
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 2: on the field later in your college career, you still

1621
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 2: weren't getting a ton of opportunities because you guys running.

1622
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 2: You got guys running around with twelve packs like AJ

1623
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 2: Brown and DK Metcalf.

1624
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: This guys were impressive.

1625
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, I guess. I mean, I'm pretty good.

1626
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 4: But right, like I've told this to all guys, if

1627
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 4: you if you work hard, you're gonna get Coaches noticed that.

1628
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 4: And whether they are on the staff of your team

1629
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 4: or not, they noticed that. You came in, you came

1630
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 4: to the bills. I remember, you didn't catch a touchdown

1631
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:57,679
Speaker 4: in college career, that's right, right.

1632
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeap, And and fifteen college was.

1633
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: I think Dalton had more catches in one game than

1634
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 1: I did year, that's right.

1635
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. So it's one of those things where and I

1636
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 4: tell young guys this all the time, if you're working harder,

1637
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,879
Speaker 4: you just somebody's gonna notice. And if you get yourself

1638
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 4: to be good enough, they will because they're looking for

1639
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 4: you to help find you. So if you make yourself

1640
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 4: good enough, they'll find you. You're you're gonna get a chance,

1641
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 4: no question. Yeah.

1642
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: If you run after the ball, you know, you do

1643
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: little things right, whether it's trying to chase down an

1644
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: interception to punch the ball out, or if you're playing

1645
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 1: corner on the other side of the field tracking down

1646
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: a game or a touchdown saving tackle. It's those little

1647
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: things that coaches really notice.

1648
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 2: All right, d Austin, Thanks for spending some time with us.

Speaker 2: on the upcoming game against the Titans here on One

1655

01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:21,639
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1657
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 2: Time for from the Coach's Office, presented by CfBT, the

1658
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 2: official office technology company of the Buffalo Bills, and straight

1659
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 2: out of the Coach's office this week is striking a

1660
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 2: balance for your newest addition to the offensive side of

1661
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: the ball, Amari Cooper. How much is too much to

1662
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 2: put on this guy's plate this week?

1663
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't get caught up in saying, Okay, we're

1664
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 4: gonna give Mariy Cooper all this stuff. And I've said

1665
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 4: I think they should target him early to get him

1666
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 4: involved and let people know that you're not shying away

1667
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 4: from it. But let's face it, you've got guys on

1668
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 4: this team. Even if a Maori trade never happened. This

1669
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 4: is a team you'd still be favored against. You got

1670
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 4: enough enough bullets in your holster to win this game.

1671
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 4: So don't get over comp don't overthink it. Give am

1672
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:08,560
Speaker 4: Maury some plays, get him involved, get him acclimated, and

1673
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 4: if it goes well, hey, that's great. But you got

1674
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 4: here running the football. You got here with Khalil Shakir

1675
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 4: and Kincaid and Dawson Knox and these guys and Cookie.

1676
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 4: If he's in there, don't overthink it. Get a Maury involved,

1677
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 4: get him early, get some benefit from his presence by

1678
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 4: getting him in their mind, and then do what you do.

1679
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So that is from the Coach's office,

1680
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 2: percented by CEE FBT, the official office technology company of

1681
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills.

1682
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to weigh that out.

1683
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 2: Like if it's a new guy, a younger player, maybe

1684
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,719
Speaker 2: the volume is a little bit less.

1685
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:44,799
Speaker 3: A veteran player who's.

1686
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 2: Been through this before and is known as a cerebral player,

1687
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 2: maybe you can give him.

1688
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 4: A little bit more. When the ball snapped, he's been

1689
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 4: there before. Yeah, and it's not too big for him.

1690
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 2: The last time he did this, he was a twenty

1691
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 2: four year old in Dallas and his first game, granted

1692
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 2: they had a he had a bye week, yeah, when

1693
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 2: he got traded, So that's a huge help. Five catches,

1694
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 2: fifty eight yards and a touchdown against the Tennessee type.

1695
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 3: Oh when Dallas didn't win.

1696
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 4: The game, though, nice so nice nugget.

1697
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 2: So that is from the coach's office. We are gonna

1698
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 2: pivot to the post practice podium where Taylor rap is

1699
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 2: addressing the media after what was probably his best game

1700
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 2: in a Bill's uniform last week against the Jets.

1701
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 3: Let's go there, now, coming.

1702
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 7: Off ut off, getting back having a game like that,

1703
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 7: just how good of that deal to kind of put

1704
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 7: that in that kind of effort and come away with that. Yeah,

1705
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 7: I mean anytime, uh, you're out with the injury. Uh,

1706
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 7: you know, I didn't even make the Houston trip, so

1707
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 7: uh it was tough for me staying back, uh, not

1708
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 7: even making a trip and obviously watching on TV. That's

1709
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 7: that's tough. So you know, I was eager to get back,

1710
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 7: eager to do everything I could to help us win,

1711
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 7: and you know I was. I was able to make

1712
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 7: some some plays in the game to to ultimately help

1713
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 7: us win. So it felt good. What was the key there,

1714
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 7: Bree Hall the tackle on Breese, you know, stopping him

1715
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 7: before you got the ends on what what was kind

1716
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:16,719
Speaker 7: of your your pursuit on the on that play? Uh yeah,

1717
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 7: so just man, it was a long run. You know,

1718
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 7: he he got through you know, explosive runs, so you know,

1719
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 7: we gotta be better there. But just just taking a

1720
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 7: taking a real good angle, just making sure i'm i'm

1721
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 7: I'm taking away to cut back and really just leaving

1722
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 7: him no choice but to but to keep staying on

1723
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 7: the sidelines. And was able to get him down and

1724
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 7: you know we we had a great goal line stop

1725
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 7: there so save some points. So you know, it was

1726
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 7: it was just really all about the angle for sure.

1727
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 7: Out did that play on the left side as it

1728
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 7: was happening, you kind of turn your head go back

1729
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 7: to the right when you see that happen.

1730
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 6: What's kind of your first reaction is you're watching him

1731
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 6: go down the sideline.

1732
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I'm probably not a good feeling, you know,

1733
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 7: just just trying to you know, hustle us on my

1734
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 7: way over there, you know, just running the ball, and

1735
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 7: you know, good things happen when you run to the

1736
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 7: you know, just like I said, just taking a good

1737
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 7: angle and making sure I was able to get him

1738
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 7: down before he scored both person games back.

1739
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 6: What did you think about his play overall, especially with

1740
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 6: the game.

1741
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 7: Intercept, Yeah, big time. You know, I was, uh, it

1742
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 7: was it was me and T's really uh, you know,

1743
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 7: we're getting back from injury, so you know, excited to

1744
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 7: see him back out there. You know, he hasn't he

1745
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 7: hasn't been out there since week one, so you know,

1746
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 7: just man, I commend him, you know, because uh, it's

1747
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 7: tough to be out for that long and and and

1748
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 7: be able to step in and make the impact that

1749
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 7: he made. So man, I commend him. It's just uh,

1750
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,680
Speaker 7: the player he is, how how he prepares, how he

1751
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 7: goes through the week. Man, it's uh, it's unbelievable. So man,

1752
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,679
Speaker 7: I I commend him. Man, he did an incredible job.

1753
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 7: It's great to see seven back out there.

1754
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 5: Uh.

1755
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 6: Father, So what have you seen any kind of you know,

1756
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 6: change or Uh?

1757
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he's he's always been way way mature

1758
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 7: beyond his years. But you know, I haven't really seen

1759
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 7: anything specifically, but he's he's always been kind of way

1760
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 7: way more mature beyond his ears.

1761
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 3: I'm guessing if you've gone up against before.

1762
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:21,679
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah for sure.

1763
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 4: So just what's against Dan and that if you got

1764
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 4: a year off and now that kind.

1765
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 5: Of skill set coming year.

1766
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, obviously special player. Everyone everyone knows that,

1767
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 7: you know, special talent. You know, I've gone up against

1768
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 7: him a couple of times, and you know, he's one

1769
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 7: of those receivers that can that can change the game

1770
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 7: and that you know, as as a defense, as a whole,

1771
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 7: you kind of you have to have awareness of where

1772
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 7: he's at every single play, where he lines up and

1773
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 7: stuff like that. So you know, just seeing that, you know,

1774
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 7: special talent like that special player. You know, I've I've

1775
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 7: heard great things about him, his team, great teammate, great great,

1776
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:00,639
Speaker 7: uh great person. So you know, excited to see him,

1777
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 7: you know, you know, join join this culture, join this

1778
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 7: team and and see, you know, what he can do

1779
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 7: to help us win.

1780
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 3: All Right.

1781
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 2: So that's Taylor Rap addressing the media here after practice

1782
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 2: on a Thursday, And as we said, like best game

1783
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:16,639
Speaker 2: in Bill's uniform last week.

1784
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 4: What a game he had. Him and Tarn were difference

1785
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 4: makers in that game with Aaron Rodgers slinging it around

1786
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 4: and those guys and Garrett Wilson really had a couple

1787
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 4: of enormous pass breakups, played physical the whole thing.

1788
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 2: That's the physical presence that I think they were hoping

1789
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,639
Speaker 2: to get from Taylor Rap. You lose Jordan Poyer, who

1790
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 2: was kind of the physical presence in the secondary for

1791
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 2: the last six seven years. You knew you weren't going

1792
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 2: to have that with him no longer on the roster.

1793
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 2: So to see Rap kind of fill that role and

1794
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 2: be a little bit of an intimidator over the middle.

1795
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,679
Speaker 4: Good to see more reps, the better they get. Hopefully

1796
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 4: that's it for us today.

1797
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 2: We got to bang up show tomorrow on Friday, Tailgate Friday.

1798
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 2: Get your recipes in. I want to see him. We'll

1799
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:55,599
Speaker 2: see you won
