1
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Please One Bills Live, presented by Called Light of Health.

2
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: All right, here we are on a Tuesday, Chris Brown,

3
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. One Bills Live is your program of choice.

4
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. And plenty of NFL news

5
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: and notes which we will get to in due course

6
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: over the course of this program. And I don't know

7
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: about you, Steve, but I've I've roped Steve into the

8
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: World Cup fever. And we just watched a tremendous upset

9
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: just before coming on the air. Morocco defeats Spain on

10
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: penalty kicks by a score of three nothing. Spain absolutely

11
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: pukes all over their cleats in the p K round

12
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: as they hit one off the post and shoot two

13
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: other horrible penalty kicks, both saved by the Moroccan keeper,

14
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: and Morocco is through to the quarterfinals and Spain is out. Unbelievable,

15
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: an unbelievable game. And you know it says, here's the thing,

16
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: and here's the problem. I think most Americans citizens to

17
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: zero zero game after twenty minutes. So it's a it's

18
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: a giant, two hour game of keep away, and that's

19
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: hard to watch. Although um I am appreciating it more

20
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: now when you kind of engage with it and you

21
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: see the you know, you start to see the really

22
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: good players, nuance and how one bad a bad team

23
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: or the lesser of the two teams can hang in

24
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: there get the lucky, lucky bounce. Um it's been fun.

25
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: The World Cup has been fun for me. I'll admit

26
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: it for the first time maybe in my lifetime. And

27
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: I'll just say I appreciate your open mindedness because you

28
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: are well. You have to open it up. You have

29
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: to open your mind because you are not You are

30
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: not in the majority of those soccer skeptics. It is

31
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: not a sport that lends itself to the American mentality.

32
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: That is true. That's its problem because to watch it,

33
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: you gotta be in. You got to invest, and you

34
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: can't just let it wash over you like you know

35
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: the NFL and NBA and you know all these in

36
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: the sports that are thriving here, even even the NHL

37
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: when you're there live. Um so, but I have enjoyed it.

38
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll say this to like most people

39
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: the US getting into the knockout stage, help me, help

40
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: get me invested in it. Ye, So now I've got

41
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: some Now you're just now rooting for THEE though. I'll

42
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: say this though, and I have this nothing against the

43
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: sport as a but I am have no ongoing interest

44
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: from this point on. I'm not gonna like, I'm not

45
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: gonna start watching DC United or oh yeah, you mean

46
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: after the tournament's over. I am. I am not invested

47
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: in any American team or any like man you Hotspur,

48
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: none of that stuff. I'm not. Yeah, that's okay. I'll

49
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: take what I can. Can I say, I'll take the

50
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: World Cup they got me. I'm in. I'm in for

51
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: life now for the next however many World Cups I

52
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: have left, well, in four years it'll be on home soil.

53
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's gonna be all here, Mexico and camp

54
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, Um, it's interesting to think about

55
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: because you got like, you know, probably fourteen fifteen year

56
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: old kids now thinking, you know, I got a shot

57
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 1: at the men's national team and the next World Cup

58
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: here at home, you know what i mean. Generation coming

59
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: up it's gonna say, I'm gonna do that because I'm

60
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: not the no have to play in the NFL. Mom

61
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: and dad won't let me play tackle football. Baseball is

62
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: not it's too boring. Or whatever. It's the wrong sport

63
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: for me. Hockey. I don't even have an ice rink

64
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: in my state, you know whatever. Yeah, Soccer I can

65
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: do because I got their sports right here in my town,

66
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: right so I can do it. So that's you got

67
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: to think there's a generation of kids that are gonna

68
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: be inspired by this same I'm gonna give it a

69
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: shot and one or two or trickle through. It's a

70
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: very low percentage. Yes, it can happen. Congratulations are in

71
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: order to one. Dion Dawkins selected as the Bills nominee

72
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: for the Walter Peyton Man of the Year. Each of

73
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: the league's thirty two NFL teams has a nominee for

74
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: the league's Walter Peyton Man of the Year. So he

75
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: is the Bills nominee. And I think for those that no, Dion, no.

76
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: He is very active in the Buffalo community. I think

77
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: it was even more visible after the tragic shooting in

78
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: East Buffalo back in May that cost us ten of

79
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: our fellow citizens in a clear act of hatred. But

80
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: Dion's been doing this pretty much since he landed in

81
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: Buffalo after being a second round draft choice back in

82
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Just done enormous amount of stuff here in

83
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: the local community. So very a very deserved nomination for

84
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins. So good luck to him as he now

85
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: goes up against thirty one other nominees from the thirty

86
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: one other teams in the league, and that award is

87
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: handed out during the NFL Honors program, which is the

88
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: week of the Super Bowl. So good luck to him.

89
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,559
Speaker 1: We'll see if he wins it. Yeah, because you I mean, really,

90
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: it's very prestigious, very prestigious, prestigious. Yeah, but it's amazing.

91
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: Like you you look at the Bills nominee and you're like, wow,

92
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: Dion's done a ton of stuff. Then you look at

93
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: some of these other guys around the league, you're like,

94
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: holy cow, Like it's some of the efforts of some

95
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: of these players off the field are really if they're

96
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: not inspiring, they're certainly breathtaking. Because these guys don't have

97
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: a lot of time during the season. I mean, they

98
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: are fully invested in their profession, you know, putting in

99
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: ten twelve hour days, six seven days a week, so

100
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: to make time on their off day for some of

101
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: the things they do out there in the community. You

102
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: really got to tip your hat to them. So congrats

103
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: again to Dion. We have the Odell Beckham junior saga.

104
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: Thankfully it wraps up today. You know, he spent a

105
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: day and a half to two days with the Giants,

106
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: day and a half to two days with the Bills.

107
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: He's wrapping up his visit with the Cowboys today and

108
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: then OBJ is supposed to make his decision by midweek.

109
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: Some interesting things are trickling out of Dallas now, you know,

110
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: the media coverage down there was a little nuts. He

111
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: went to the Mavericks game last night and with some

112
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys players and a gaggle of media reporters is

113
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: following him, you know, trying to hope he says something

114
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: that they can run with. And then Jerry Jones, owner

115
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys, went on the radio today and let's

116
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: just say Steve threw a bucket of water on it.

117
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: He threw a bucket of cold water on the likelihood

118
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: of Dallas coming to terms with him. And it seems

119
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: as though there are a couple of things at play here.

120
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: One long term investment, because it sounds to me, at

121
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: least in the case of the Cowboys, that they're not

122
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: one hundred percent certain they want to make a long

123
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: term investment. I think they would be very interested if

124
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: they could get OBJ as a rental for the rest

125
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: of this year. And I think the Bills and the

126
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: Giants wouldn't mind that either. But I think from the

127
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: word go, it's been stated that Beckham is looking for

128
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: more than that. He wants to put down roots for

129
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: the rest of his career. The problem is he's nine

130
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: months out of an acl second one on that knee

131
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: happened mid February, and apparently he's hesitant or reluctant or

132
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: unwilling to give these guys a workout unless they see

133
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: him in action on the field, looking like why why

134
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: would they want him for the next five weeks. He's

135
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: not going to come in and do it now. I mean,

136
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: particularly in the Cowboys, And that's what um Jerry Jones said, Listen,

137
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: this year's paramount. If you can't play this year, we're

138
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: not interested particularly you know so, And same thing with

139
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: the Bills, right, maybe not so much with the Bills,

140
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: but if you're not gonna come, if you're gonna come

141
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: to Buffalo and you're not gonna play this year, we

142
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: ain't got time to mess with that. Now we got right,

143
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: wait until June, wait till to free agency with the

144
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: cap eases up and we get all these guys off

145
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: our books. We got some caps basic we'll talk to

146
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: you and you but I'll say we'll talk to you

147
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: after we watch you work out. Well, yeah, I mean

148
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: the proof is in the pudding, right, And no, no

149
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: GM in his right mind is signing O'Dell Beckham Junior

150
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: with two acls on the same knee in the span

151
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: of twenty four months, right without watching him run routes.

152
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: You're just not doing it right, I mean, you'd be

153
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: out of your mind. It's it's it's a risk that is,

154
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's an egregious risks how I would describe it,

155
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: because there's just you get him, yeah, and he's crazy

156
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: to do it. He would. I don't think he'll sign

157
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: with anybody for veteran minimum to come back and play

158
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: it nine months after an ACL. He'll just wait till

159
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: free agency. And I think too, there's a little bit

160
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: of this. I hadn't thought about this, but there's a

161
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: little bit of this. Odell likes the red carpet treatment,

162
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, And who wouldn't. I mean, everybody would of

163
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: these teams, you know, putting their best foot forward. I

164
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: mean last night he was in Dallas going out there

165
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: with some of their players and all that. You know,

166
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: it's great. I mean, it's fun to be there, fun

167
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: to be in the middle of that. But for the

168
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: seriousness of the contract he's asking for. You don't want

169
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: to see him at a Mavericks game. Yeah, you want

170
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: to see him in shorts and cleats on your field

171
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: with dak thrown to him, see if he gets ready,

172
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: see if he can do it. And he's not doing

173
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: that right, So, and let's just say this. If he

174
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: does that in Dallas, he's not going to do it

175
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, right He's not gonna come out in

176
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo and say, yeah, I'll work out for you guys.

177
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: I ain't working out for Dallas. No, he's not gonna

178
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: do it for Buffalo either. So that I'm I'm with

179
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: Jerry on this one. It's hard to blame him. No workout,

180
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: no contract, yep. So he may not land anywhere. He

181
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: may not, and that's fine, but he'll be playing football

182
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: somewhere next year. Yes, I would agree, But I think

183
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: this is it's really fast after the ACL to come

184
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: back and say I'm ready to go and have somebody

185
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: pay you the kind of money you're asking for without

186
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: seeing you test it. That's crazy talk. It becomes very

187
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: unlikely and I and I would agree with everybody who

188
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: you know, with Jerry Jones and and probably Brandon being

189
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: in the rest. Yeah, so it'll be pretty compelling to

190
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: see and where this goes from here, especially if all

191
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: three clubs apps in a workout say we're not saying no,

192
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: We're just saying that right now. Yeah, we're not. We're

193
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: saying no unless you want to work out, and then

194
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: we'll say maybe, yeah, I get it. So that's what

195
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: this comes down to. It's unnecessary risk. He's not he's

196
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: not ready. Yeah. If he doesn't feel like he can

197
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: go out and just work out and do whatever he wants,

198
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: he's not ready to play. Yeah, it's that simple. So

199
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: if there are any more twists and turns in the

200
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior saga, we will bring them to you,

201
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: whether it involves the Bills or not. In the meantime,

202
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: there is even bigger news in the NFL today, and

203
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: that's coming out of Tennessee where the Titans have in

204
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: a surprise move fired general manager John Robinson. Robinson is

205
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: going to be replaced by Vice President of Player personel

206
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Cowden, who is going to lead the player personnel

207
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: department for the remainder of the season. The Titans, since

208
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: this move has happened, have since released a statement which

209
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: reads as follows. Since becoming controlling owner in twenty fifteen,

210
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: my goal has been to raise the standards for what

211
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: is expected in all facets of our organization. I believe

212
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: we had made significant progress both on and off the

213
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: field through investments in leadership, personnel, and new ideas. This

214
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: is the Titans owner, incidentally, Amy Adams Strunk. This progress

215
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: includes the core of our business, the football team itself,

216
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: which is regularly evaluated by both results wins and losses,

217
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: and team construction slash roster building. I am proud of

218
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: what we have accomplished in my eight seasons of ownership,

219
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: but I believe there is more to be done in

220
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: higher aspirations to be met. I want to thank John

221
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: for his dedicated work to set this organization on an

222
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: upward trajectory, and I wish him and his family the best.

223
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: So according to reports, there has been a disconnect with

224
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: roster construction of late That is what some of the

225
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: national reporters, like Tom Pellacero from NFL Network said. His

226
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: understanding is Titan's brass wasn't happy with the direction of

227
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: the rosters by John Robinson and decided to make a change.

228
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: Despite leading the AFC South by three games, he was

229
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: under contract through the twenty twenty seven draft. The guy

230
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: walks away, he's gonna get paid for the next four

231
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: years to not work for them. This what are you doing? Right?

232
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: This feels a little knee jerk, doesn't it. Well, here's

233
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, they just got throttled by the

234
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Eagles forty to fourteen last week. But that's one game, Like,

235
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: did that put you over the edge? I don't understand.

236
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: He got hired in twenty sixteen. They've won sixty six

237
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: games in the last seven years. Sixty six games, that's more.

238
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: That's an average of almost eleven wins the season. And

239
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: they got a three game lead now set and he

240
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: hired Mike Vrabel, who's one of the hot he's one

241
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: of the coach of the year. The guy's great. They

242
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: were the one seed a year ago, went to an

243
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: AFC championship game a few years back, so now there

244
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: and I get it. Here's what happens in this situations

245
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: we saw even here in Buffalo, it happened in years,

246
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: in decades past. It becomes personal at some place along

247
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: the line. Either Mike Vrabel went to Amy Adams was unhappy,

248
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: which I don't say any did. I have no idea.

249
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't know white Wood except for this season the roster.

250
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean they got rid of AJ Brown. A J.

251
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: Brown crushed him this last week. And A J. Brown

252
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: should have been in Tennessee. And you say all that, Okay, yeah, yeah,

253
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: you know what, you still got a three game leading

254
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: a division and your your window. Maybe you may have

255
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna slam shut. Well, you're still the

256
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: division leaders. I mean, it becomes to me, it strikes

257
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: me as being a personal thing. Either the owner was

258
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: sick of looking at the guy, or they had an argument,

259
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: or there was an argument between Vrabel and John Robinson

260
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: and there was a power struggle inside the building. There's

261
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: something happened other than and what's the fact you're wishing

262
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: him well, Hey, we appreciate, we got a higher aspirations.

263
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: We want to do something. They just want to make

264
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: a change. For making a change, yeah, I think it's personal.

265
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Someone's gotta be right, because I don't know Amy Adams

266
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: strunk as an owner. I don't know, or I wouldn't

267
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: know if I saw her right. But I can't believe

268
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: that her dissatisfaction with John Robinson stems from last week's

269
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: game against the Eagles, in which your team got throttled

270
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: and the guy that scored two touchdowns on you was

271
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: the guy you traded away for a first round pick

272
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: who wound up being Treylon Burkes, who has been nothing

273
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: short of a colossal disappointment in his rookie year. While

274
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: you're watching the guy that you used to have on

275
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: your team beat you soundly for two touchdowns in a

276
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: blowout loss. I'm sure that doesn't feel good, but I

277
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: don't know that it's a fireble offense in light of

278
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: John Robinson's track record that you all ready laid out, Steve.

279
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: For the most part, the roster build has been good

280
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. There have been misses in the draft. I

281
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question about it. Everybody misses every

282
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: every single GM miss every single one. As a matter

283
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: of fact, it's hard when you think about the draft

284
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: and a smart personnel man once told me this, you

285
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: should treat the draft like a major League baseball batting average.

286
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: If you have a GM that hits three hundred in

287
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: the draft, you've got a pretty good GM in terms

288
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: of assessing and evaluating talent for your football team. If

289
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: you've got a GM that hits four hundred in the draft,

290
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: you've got a Ted Williams. You do so. I would

291
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: like to go back and look at John Robinson's draft

292
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: history over the years as GM and the Titans. I

293
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: don't think he hit four hundred, but I would wonder

294
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: if he's pretty close to three hundred. I gotta believe

295
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: if he's closed. I mean he's responsible for drafting Derrick Henry, A. J. Brown,

296
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, Harold Landry. He made it go, he made

297
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: it work with Ryan Tannehill. There are hits in there.

298
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, certainly. And when he got there, Derrick Henry

299
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: was an afrothar. Remember he was trading line. He was

300
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: like splitting time with other running up and they said, no,

301
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: I didn't make this guy. And that was Vrabel. He

302
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: hired Vrabel, helped him hire Vrabel, who was a young,

303
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: first time head coach, and got that right that. It

304
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: just makes you wonder what happened. Why would they all

305
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden sour on John Robinson in Tennessee. They

306
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: were the one seed nine months ago and they were

307
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: one and done, no question about it. They hit a

308
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: buzz saw in in in Cincinnati, right did they get

309
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: beat by Cincinnati? Tennessee lost to Baltimore in twenty twenty.

310
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: They lost to the Chiefs in the AFC title game

311
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Uh, last year, I can't remember. They

312
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: were the one seed. They had to buy right, and

313
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: then yeah, they had to lose. They lost the Cincinnatis

314
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: build to play in Kansas City. That's right, in the

315
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: divisional playoffs. So now one and done last At the

316
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: current moment, they are three games up in the division. Yeah,

317
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: three games they I mean they losing, They're gonna win

318
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: the division and they're kicking the guy to the curb.

319
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: That speaks to me that something happened personally in that building.

320
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: There was some relationships that went sour. There's that's the

321
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: only logical explanation as to why you would do that. Yeah,

322
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: am right. I mean it's puzzling. It's especially the timing

323
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, right, Like, yeah, like week thirteen, what

324
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: are you doing? Yeah, that's what's puzzling to me. Why

325
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: would they even be unhappy? Even like seriously, like why

326
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: is it a consideration when your team is going to

327
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: win the division? Like your three games clear with five

328
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: to play, and you play in a division with the

329
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: one win Houston Texans the four win Indianapolis Colts and

330
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know how many games the Jaguars won,

331
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: but they're not within a sniff of the division title either.

332
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: So your team is going on to yet another division title.

333
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: You've got a veteran group that is playoff tested, right,

334
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: and you ax the GM Like, here's the other thing.

335
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: Even if you want to fire the guy, don't you

336
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: wait till the end of the season, because now this

337
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: is a distraction. Whether you want it to be or not,

338
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: it is unequivocally a distraction for your football team because

339
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: people in the locker room today are going, what the

340
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: hell just happened? Yeah? Is there? And now what's the

341
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: next question? Is there a problem? Like are we cleaning

342
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: house next? Like you know what I mean? If they're

343
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: real they're firing him after the job he did, I'm

344
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: not sticking around we're on our way to a division tip.

345
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sticking around. What's wrong? I there's like, where's

346
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: the there's no loyalty there. Okay, I'm out. All that

347
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: move does is invite doubt into your locker room, into

348
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: your administration building, and into your football department. All it

349
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: does is invite doubt. That's all it does. And to me,

350
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: in the short term, while you're trying to win something

351
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: this year, that doesn't help you. Yeah, he took it,

352
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: so there had to be some kind of internal argument

353
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: and somebody said, wow, if you don't like it, fire me,

354
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: and the owner said, okay, you're fired. Like, can't you

355
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: see that? I mean, how else do you explain this

356
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: in week fourteen? It makes no sense? Yeah, this is

357
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: this is the timing for a firing for a team

358
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: like the Broncos. You're three and nine, your team can score,

359
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: you're not even competitive from an offensive standpoint, and you've

360
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: had enough. I can't do it anymore. We're cutting the

361
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: cord here. Week fourteen, will ride out the rest of

362
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: the year, and we'll figure it out in the off season.

363
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: That's the team where this kind of a move happens

364
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: at this time of the season, not a team three

365
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: games clear in their division en route to another division

366
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: title and headed for the playoffs. That's what happens. That's

367
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: what should happen in Indianapolis or Houston, which it already

368
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: did happen in Houston there or Denver, or already happened

369
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: in Carolina. Right, But it's crazy, It defiest, It's absolutely nuts.

370
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he might like, oh, okay, the chart Ers,

371
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna do that, but there's six and six.

372
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: They're not seven and five win in the division by

373
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: three games. Yeah, So I don't I don't know that

374
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: if the owner in a statement said, you know, the

375
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: standard is higher than what we've seen, Okay, but you know,

376
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: maybe way to the end of the year. Now here's

377
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: the thing. Here's the thing. Let's just contemplate this for

378
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: a second. Okay, because if I'm Mike Vrabel, this is

379
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: what I'm doing, I'm gonna say, Hey, guys, I know

380
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you had in the locker room. Hey guys,

381
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you had a respect for

382
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: John Robinson. I have a lot of respect for him too.

383
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: I think he was a great GM. I think he

384
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: did a lot to help our football team. You're all

385
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: here in the room because he picked you. Right. How

386
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: about how about we do right by John, try to

387
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: rip off some wins here at the end of the

388
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: season and see how far we can push this thing,

389
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: almost kind of like sticking it in the owner's ear. Yeah,

390
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: you don't need Yeah, but even so, um that that's

391
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: a team that shouldn't with a guy like Vrabel. There's

392
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: no lack of motivation in the locker. No, but how

393
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: does it look ownership wise? If the team runs off

394
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: five straight wins, they finished twelve and five, they win

395
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: the division, and they go to the playoffs, and let's

396
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: say they make a deep run in the playoffs. You

397
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: just fired the GM of that team. Yeah, but that's

398
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: that's something where the ownership will say, yeah, we lit

399
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: the spark, we did the right thing. That's what they'll

400
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: they'll claim. They'll claim victory. You know, Um, we're doing

401
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 1: the right things and you know we're pushing the right

402
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: buttons Um yeah, yeah, I mean it's it is peculiar.

403
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: Struggled to say. Maybe I don't know. I don't like

404
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: you said, we don't know the ownership group. But they're saying, Okay,

405
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: we got crushed by a team who had our best

406
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: player from a year ago who we had to trade

407
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: because we couldn't sign him, who, by the way, we

408
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: couldn't sign him because I his owner told you not

409
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: to pay him the money. But now that you traded him,

410
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: you traded him that team and they beat us and

411
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: he crushed us. I'm holding you responsible for it. That's

412
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: sometimes how this works. I'm not saying that's what happened

413
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: into Tennessee. But if if John Robinson is sitting there

414
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: and didn't sign A. J. Brown because he had the

415
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: money just wouldn't do it, or the owners saying no,

416
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: we're not going to pay him that much money, and

417
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: so he had to trade him to get something for

418
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: him and then lost to the guy. And then the

419
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: owner comes to him and say, well you didn't. You're

420
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: an idiot for trade him to the Philadelphia Eagles. That

421
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: he's out of conference, out of division. The guy's has

422
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: gone as far away as you can get him. He

423
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: just still happens to be on your schedule next year.

424
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: He comes back to bite you. And then the owner

425
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: who wouldn't let you pay him calls you on it

426
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: and fires you for it, like four day, two days

427
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: after the game. I have a hard time thinking that

428
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: somebody who owns an NFL team would fall prey to that,

429
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: But you know, stranger thing. It looks like unless something

430
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: else happened less, there was a relationship, ongoing relationship that

431
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: was souring and gone, and that that put it over

432
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: the edge, which seems perhaps plausible. There is other important

433
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: news concerning quarterbacks that are injured. ESPN's Adam Schefter is

434
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: reporting that Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a sprained PCL

435
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: had a knee injury last week. Didn't I tell you

436
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: during you did say PCL yesterday? That was your guests

437
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: after watching him suffer the injury. Lamar Jackson suffered a

438
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: sprained PCL during Sunday's win over the Broncos. According to

439
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 1: league sources, PCL injuries often sideline players one to three weeks.

440
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: Raven's head coach John Harbaugh has already said Jackson is

441
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: less likely to play this weekend against the Steelers. And

442
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: they're at a race right now. I mean they're eight

443
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: and four, yeah, but they're in a race with Cincinnati

444
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: and the AFC North. Every game is crucial. But it

445
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: appears at least unlikely now that Baltimore, who currently leads

446
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: the AFC North based on head to head with Cinnati Cincinnati, Yeah,

447
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: is going to have him. The Ravens play the Steelers

448
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: this week, so certainly not an insurmountable task. But the

449
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: Steelers very quietly, I think I've won two games and

450
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: they won their last two. I think they did, yes,

451
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: two games back to back wins so far from Osburg

452
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. Mike Tomlin's crew valiantly

453
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: tries to keep his record of never coaching a team

454
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: that finishes the regular not for nothing. The Steelers have

455
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: won three their last four. Yeah, so there might be

456
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: going a little bit with smoking mirrors, but it's happening.

457
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: They got the Raider Ravens coming up this week, so,

458
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: but they got Carolina after that, the Raiders after that,

459
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: and then the Ravens again. So theyn't mean played the

460
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: Ravens once this year. So they got two games with

461
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens, then the Panthers, Raiders and Browns to finish

462
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: up the season. So the Steelers are not a daunting

463
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: schedule by any stretch. We'll see, we'll see. So that's interesting,

464
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: and you know, the conference race is tight, and you

465
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: know we'll be discussing that actually on today's show. First,

466
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: the Twitter topic of the day concerns Buffalo's matchup with

467
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: the Jets on Sunday. How many points are the Bills

468
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: going to need on Sunday to beat the Mike White

469
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: lad Jets and why so give us a point total

470
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,239
Speaker 1: and then tell us why you think that's all they

471
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: need or they need that many. So give us a

472
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: little reasoning behind the number that you think the Bills

473
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: have to hit points wise to get a much needed

474
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: victory over the Jets, who already have the head to

475
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: head tiebreaker on them by virtue of their Week nine

476
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: win over the Bills. So fire that off and let

477
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: us no one other thing that we should mention. Bill's

478
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: injury news. Head coach Sean McDermott late yesterday address the

479
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: media late in the afternoon and basically with the injured

480
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: players like Jordan Phillips, David Quessenberry, Dion Dawkins essentially said

481
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: that all three are improving and they're going to play

482
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: the wait and see game to see how they move

483
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: through the week coming off of those injuries, and I

484
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: guess we'll know a lot more obviously tomorrow if any

485
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: of them are back participating on the practice field. And

486
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: the only other note is roster wise, is that Marquez

487
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: Stevenson is wrapping up his twenty one day practice window

488
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: in his attempt to return from a foot injury suffered

489
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: in training camp that landed him on IR and they

490
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: have basically until tomorrow to activate him to the fifty

491
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: three man roster or put him on season ending injured reserve.

492
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see what the decision is there and then

493
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: we'll know if mark Quis Stevenson is going to be

494
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: a factor on the Bill's roster in the twenty twenty

495
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: two season. We will take a break here because when

496
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: we come back, we will be discussing who to root for.

497
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: We're getting to that point in the season. Yes, the

498
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: Bills are atop the conference, but it never hurts to

499
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 1: have help, much like they had this past weekend. Who

500
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: should you, as a Bills fan be rooting for going

501
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: into this weekend's games. We've got a person to help

502
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: us with that. It's Buffalo Bills dot Com content coordinator

503
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: Alec White, who is going to join us next with

504
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: all the details here on one Bills Live presented by

505
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: collot of health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome

506
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: back to one Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

507
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: and glad to be joined now first time in the studio.

508
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: Bill's content coordinator and Bill's reporter from Buffalo Bills dot Com,

509
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: Alec White, here to help us with the AFC conference

510
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: race as it is now the time of year where

511
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: Bills fans have to bust out the pom poms for

512
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: other teams down the stretch to get as much help

513
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: as possible. Right, absolutely, I mean Week thirteen win is

514
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: about as well as you can expect for the Bills

515
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: and everyone. They were rooting four to win. Chiefs lost,

516
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins lost. That one seat is right there. The great

517
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: news for the Bills they control their own destiny, which

518
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: is what you want heading into December. Absolutely, right, So

519
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 1: what are we think? What are we looking at? I mean,

520
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: how close can we get? I mean, obviously the playoffs

521
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: are getting close to being a foregone conclusion, if not mathematical,

522
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: what about clinching a division? How close are we and

523
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: how far do we have to go? Five weeks out? Steve, Well,

524
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: you cut the and a half and it's about a

525
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: three week window where that's the soonest. If everything goes

526
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 1: right for the Bills, Week sixteen is the target date

527
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: for the soonest. They could clinch the AFC East two

528
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: games divisional back to back this week at home Jets Dolphins.

529
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: So if you run the scenarios, let's say Buffalo beats

530
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: the Jets this weekend, beats Miami the following weekend, and

531
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 1: then wins their Week sixteen matchup on Christmas Eve against

532
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: the Bears. All three, you would feel comfortable right now

533
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: saying the Bills could do that. They would also need

534
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Miami to lose their next two games, which is also

535
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: possible because they play at the Chargers. They gotta go

536
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: all the way in the West coast. Well, they're already

537
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: on the West Coast right now out there this week.

538
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: But then they've got a short week to come back

539
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. So you put all those things together and

540
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: Week sixteen right now could be a time when the

541
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: Bills could be three time AFC East Channel. Right, you're

542
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: getting people giddy right out of the Yeah, I get you,

543
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: I get you, But yeah, and what about what about?

544
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: Because nothing ever goes perfect? Right? So the Bills win,

545
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: Bills win, They're in and all that and all our

546
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: hopes and dreams happen for the regular season. So what happened?

547
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: What does the most likely scenario save one? Dolphins are

548
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: gonna probably go lose one game, Bills probably lose one

549
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: game on the way, yeah, the rest of the way

550
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: this is I mean, you're you're getting to the point

551
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: where like last year, we could have been the one

552
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: seed if one game swings our way, a good Titans

553
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: Titans game, they beat the Titans, we end up the

554
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: three seed, which wasn't all bad. Home playoff game, two

555
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: home playoff games, no one playoffs, one home playoff game. Um,

556
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what are the what are the percentages for

557
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: the other time, because I know the Bills are the

558
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: highest percentages, I don't know. Well, so New York Times

559
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: has a playoff punching the numbers right now. The Bills

560
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: their odds to win the division seventy seven percent after

561
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: this past week, after Week thirteen, the odds to get

562
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: the number one seed four seven percent. That's the highest

563
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: of any AFC team till right now. They're mathematically the

564
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: favorites to win the division and get the one seed.

565
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: But like you said, nothing ever goes according to plan.

566
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: So let's say they go four and one over their

567
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: next five games. The Bills do with the win over Miami,

568
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: that gets you the AFC East title. But if they

569
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: go four and one and a win over Cincinnati and

570
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: the one seed or win over Cincinnati plus a KC loss,

571
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: they get the one seed still. But if they lose,

572
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: if that loss is against the Bengals, then it would

573
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: be it gets a little more trickier. We'd have to

574
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: we'd have to have more discussions on surprise, it's even

575
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: that high because I think, as Steve and I have

576
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: discussed on this show, Kansas City's remaining opponents, it's a

577
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: pretty easy schedule for them. Yeah, they're as opposed to

578
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: the Bills, who have a lot of challenging opponents left.

579
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: The Bills have played the toughest schedule in the league

580
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: so far, one of because of the amount of wins

581
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: their opponents have had. I mean, the Chiefs remaining schedules,

582
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos, Seattle's a tough game, Houston, Seattle's a tough game.

583
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, Alex, look at that. I'm surprised the

584
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: Bills percentages to get the number one seed are as

585
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: high as they are. In that simulator only because of

586
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: what the Chiefs are looking at with five games left

587
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: it is, and if the Bills were to lose a game,

588
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: then the Chiefs jump back up, even even with the

589
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: mathematical is saying that the simulator is saying that the

590
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: odds are in favor of KC winning five in a

591
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: row as opposed to the Bills winning five in a row.

592
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: And remember, the Bills are already on a three game

593
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: win stream. Asking a team to go eight wins in

594
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: a row into the playoffs is a tough ask, right,

595
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: And so I guess what becomes important here is if

596
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: the Bills go four and one, those four wins have

597
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: to be against the right teams, Like you want to

598
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: make sure you if you're gonna have one loss in there,

599
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: you want it to be to like Chicago, not to

600
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: an AFC team to factor into a conference race ti

601
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: a conference record tiebreaker. You don't want it factoring in

602
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: to a division tiebreaker with Miami. So one of those

603
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: four wins you want to be against Miami. One of

604
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: those four wins you definitely want to be against Cincinnati

605
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: because you're competing with them, presumably for the top seed

606
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: if they continue on their hot streak. I know they're

607
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: eight and four and they're behind them in terms of

608
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: one loss, but you want the head to head against them.

609
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you're gonna go four and one down

610
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: the stretch here, if you're gonna pick a loss, you

611
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: want it to the remaining NFC opponent probably, right, Yeah.

612
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: And if they were to lose let's say this week

613
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: to the Jets, the Bills, you know it would be tough,

614
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins win, then the Dolphins would jump back

615
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: into the division lead. The division lead, Buffalo would slot

616
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: back into a wildcard and it becomes even more of

617
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 1: a slippery slope if Miami were to win next week. Right,

618
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: all right, So let's look at matchups this week, so

619
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: Bills fans know who they should be rooting for. In

620
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: what I see are six matchups that involved AFC conference

621
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: teams that could pose a threat to Buffalo. Let's start

622
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: Browns and Bengals here, alec, I think this is pretty

623
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: obvious who were rooting for here, right? I mean Browns? Yes,

624
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean kind of tough to say that right now,

625
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: but yes, mathematically you want the Bills fans want the

626
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: Browns to win this one. Outside of the Chiefs. The

627
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: Bengals are that that team right now that could make

628
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: a challenge of the number one seed. A lot of people,

629
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,959
Speaker 1: myself included, kind of forgot about Cincinnati in the race

630
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: for the supremacy in the AFC. They're a team right

631
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: now that's putting a lot of things together, playing well

632
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: on three in a row, six of their last seven.

633
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills still have a head to head

634
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: to work with, you know, in week seventeen with Cincinnati

635
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: if they're close to one another in a few weeks,

636
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: but hand them as many losses as Cincinnati's got. Cleveland

637
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: at home with Deshaun Watson, who's you know, hopefully knocked

638
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: the rust off. Then they go then they got two

639
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: tough road games. They go to Tampa Bay, and then

640
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: they well they go to New England, which, um, it's

641
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: easier than we anticipated. But then they finish up with

642
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo and Baltimore, so that the Bengals have probably got

643
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: as tough of finishing schedule as anybody including Buffalo. Uh well,

644
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: because they play us in Baltimore and Tampa Bay, all right,

645
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: so that's it's not easy for the Bengals coming down

646
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: the stretch. Chiefs and Broncos. We know who were rooting

647
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: for here, Broncos. Yea, yeah, Broncos in this game. Shot.

648
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: You gotta have hope though, Steve. I mean, it's the

649
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: home game for the Broncos. You never know it's in Denver.

650
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: But Russ Wilson, the whole, the big story of the

651
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: day is Russ Wilson's got more bathrooms in his house

652
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: than he does touchdown pass? Did see? That is unbelievable?

653
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: All right? They are hammering that guy out there. Jaguars,

654
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: Titans were rooting for the Jags here, right, yep. And

655
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: the good thing and all this is, you know we're

656
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna the Ravens too, you know, root for the Steelers

657
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: this weekend for the kind of jumping ahead, No, Lar Jackson.

658
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: The good thing for the Bills is the division leaders

659
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 1: as it stands right now with the Ravens are still

660
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: division leaders. The Titans are and you know in the

661
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the act, the Bills have beating them all yeah, right,

662
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: they get the head to head edge in the conference.

663
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: Got to win the division first, all right, Dolphins Chargers.

664
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: Chargers are treading water at six and six, but we

665
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: need them to beat the Dolphins obviously, and Justin Herbert's

666
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: playing better as of late, looks a little bit healthier

667
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: coming off the rib injury from earlier this season. They

668
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: beat Arizona, they were close against Oakland. The Raiders all

669
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: of a sudden or Vegas. Uh, they've all had a resurgence.

670
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: But the Chargers at home talking about the charge they're soft.

671
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: They're soft. They're so soft. No, they're they're soft. They

672
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: got no sh there. The head coach's gonna get fired,

673
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: the gem's gonna get There's wow. How do you go

674
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: into the season with that roster and end up six

675
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: and six when you Denver in the shape that they're in,

676
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: I know, and the Raiders and the Raiders in the

677
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: shape that they're in. Yeah, but they just they just

678
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: played the Raiders last week. Um, we are rooting for

679
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: a inspired performance from the Chargers against the Dolphins, who

680
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: have been out on the West Coast all week. To

681
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: is not a hundred percent. You know, he's got a

682
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: little dinged ankle. He's gonna play. Um. Really the only

683
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: other game, Alec that I see, and it's Pat's Cardinals.

684
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: But really you've split now with the path or you

685
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: got your win on the Pats. Obviously, if you have

686
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: to beat him in Week eighteen, fine, but they're six

687
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: and six, much like the Chargers are. Are the Patriots

688
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: on the road? Are they at Arizona? Yes, Monday night

689
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: game like that? So have them lose another one like

690
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, get healthy and run up their record in

691
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: the NFC. We don't care about those cats, um, but

692
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: I guess if we're really pulling for teams, we really

693
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: want the Charge and Broncos to have big performances. Who

694
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: would have thought we wouldn't be able to count on

695
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: AFC West teams brutal, We thought that. We thought that

696
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: was going to be an absolute train wreck out there.

697
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 1: They were going to murder everybody. And now they're Their

698
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: division is a it's a kind of a joke. Outside

699
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. Yeah, people were saying at the beginning

700
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: of the air could have been three, maybe four playoff

701
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: teams from that division. Now it's only looking like one.

702
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: Now the East is getting has got a three teams

703
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: the best division in football are in the AFC Conference.

704
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: At least the NFC East is surprisingly strong too. Nobody

705
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: thought that was gonna happen either. Everybody thought the NFC West.

706
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: Every thought the West divisions were gonna be great and

707
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: they all ended up strumming crummy. Yeah, Alec, thanks for

708
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: spelling it out for us. We will look for you

709
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: in coming weeks. Is this playoff picture take shape? I

710
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: know there's a couple of teams that have clinching scenarios

711
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: this week for playoff berths. I saw that today. Um, yeah,

712
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs can win the division if they beat the

713
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: Broncos and the Chargers loose and yes in the chart,

714
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: and then they win the AFC West already in week fourteen.

715
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: Help out there and the Vikings, of course, it might

716
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: be good if they if they if they do clinch,

717
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: maybe they take their foot off the game. Yeah, they're

718
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: still gonna play for the one seed. They know Minnesota.

719
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota clinch this week, just within Minnesota with a win clinches,

720
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: then be Detroit's playing good Detroit. That's not a gimme.

721
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it right now. Detroit's gonna beat Minnesota.

722
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: How about that. I think Vegas has them. They're favored.

723
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: Detroit's lines are yes, yeah they are. They're gonna win

724
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: on Minnesota's luck to run. Minnesota has been doing it

725
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: with smoke it is absolutely unbelievable. And then Philly is

726
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: the other team that can clinch with the win and

727
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: the San Francisco and the Seattle loss, so they need

728
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: two teams to lose and they have to wins. It

729
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: seems a little more unlikely there, But okay, Alec, we

730
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: will look for you in the coming weeks. Thanks for

Speaker 1: the Bills need on Sunday to beat Mike White and

750
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: the Jets. Mike White has been extraordinarily productive through the

751
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: air the last two weeks for the Jets. He's gone

752
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: for over three hundred passing yards in both games, and

753
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,520

761
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: going to take that twenty points twenty yeah, for sure,

762
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: it might be less than that. Wow. I don't think

763
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna sit there and think that they're gonna,

764
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, do it with a you know, holding the

765
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: Bills to three field goals. I think they're gonna I

766
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: think they're gonna try and air it out. They're gonna

767
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna know they're gonna roll the dice. To

768
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: beat this team, they're gonna have to take some risk

769
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: with the football. So I think they're gonna go down

770
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: the field and you know, they'll have some confidence about

771
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: what the game they had against the Bills three weeks

772
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: ago or whenever it was a month ago. So yeah,

773
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: I think it'll take twenty because I think the the

774
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: Jets are in that moment now with this roster where

775
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a little bit desperate, and desperate teams

776
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: do them some things that you don't expect, and I

777
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: think they'll. I think they'll take some risk with the football,

778
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, some of those risk will work,

779
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: not all of them, and they may backfire on them,

780
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: but I think that's what it's going to take to

781
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: beat them. The Bills have failed to score twenty points

782
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: in a game twice this season, both of them losses.

783
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: Once in Week three against the Dolphins they lose twenty

784
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: one nineteen, and the second time against this very Jets

785
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: team in Week nine, they lose twenty to seventeen. So

786
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: and that was with Zach Wilson at quarterback they lost

787
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: to the Jets twenty to seventeen. I think we can

788
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: all agree that the Jets offense is far more functional

789
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: down to down series to series with Mike White in

790
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: the lineup. You give Mike White clear reads. He can

791
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: make progressions, deliver the football quickly and get the ball

792
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: out and make plays, as opposed to Zach Wilson, who

793
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: maybe his biggest fault was holding onto the ball too long,

794
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: maybe didn't trust what he saw, maybe didn't know what

795
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: he was looking at, whatever the case might be. So

796
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: as we were talking to Michael Robinson about that very

797
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: subject yesterday, Steve, this was Michael Robinson's opinion and I

798
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: share it that if you're going to slow down Mike

799
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: White and the Jets passing game, you gotta be really

800
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: good with your post snap disguise so that Mike White

801
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: can't pull the trigger as quickly as he usually does. Yeah,

802
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: I think he gotta. You're right, I mean, if you

803
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 1: want to do that and you got this, the ball's

804
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: coming out fast. And we've seen this even earlier in

805
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: to his career down in Miami where the Bills would

806
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: come in, particularly two years ago when they came in,

807
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: they actually put him out of the game early in

808
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: the game because they sent pressure and jumped the short routes,

809
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: the quick routes, so they anticipated the slant routes, so

810
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: the quick outs jumped them and to have had to stop,

811
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: couldn't throw it because their dB jumped the route, came

812
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 1: off to a second read and didn't have time because

813
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: the pressure was right there on his face. That's what

814
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: you're looking at, and it'll work for a minute until

815
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: the moment they you know, they block it up. Yeah,

816
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: get a hat on, a hat max protect and one

817
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: of the guys falls down or gets goes a double

818
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: move to a lays it out for him, or in

819
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: this case, you know, Mike White lays it out for

820
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: him and they go the distance. So that's what you're

821
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: up against. But if they don't know what's coming and

822
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: it's disguised and you can get that pressure fast with

823
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: an extra yeah, with an extra defensive player. Yeah, that's

824
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: that's what you do. But we'll see White, as you said,

825
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: and you notice and I didn't realize this, but I

826
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: think you're exactly right. He doesn't go off script. Yeah,

827
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: he's not a second reaction quarterback. So when can I

828
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: and they will. Teams will dissect what the Jets plan is,

829
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: and they'll say, if they do this, they're going to

830
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: try and go here and here and here. They'll know

831
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. Yeah, and they're guys, they should

832
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: be on it. It's that off the script stuff that

833
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: crushes you. I mean, there is no offense to Mike White,

834
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: but there is a reason why he's a backup quarterback

835
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: in this league. There are limitations to his game. Otherwise

836
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: he'd be a starter, if not with the Jets, somewhere else.

837
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: And that's just not the case because there are limitations

838
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: to his game. One, his improvisational skills are greatly limited.

839
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: But when the reads are clear and he you know,

840
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: he clearly knows his own system, he can deliver the

841
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: foot ball and make plays for you. The problem is

842
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: when he's under pressure or the play doesn't unfold as

843
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: it's drawn up in the playbook, he has trouble improvising,

844
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: making plays off script, making second reaction throws when maybe

845
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm ready to throw it here, Oh my god.

846
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: Gregor Russeau's arms are up, I can't go there, and

847
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: then he looks to make something else happen somewhere else.

848
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: That's when things break down from Mike White and he

849
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: becomes a largely ineffective quarterback. So how effectively the defense

850
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: can impact Mike White's decision making will go a long

851
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 1: way in helping the Bills win the football game on Sunday. Yeah,

852
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: and I think the Bills will have a plan for it.

853
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: They should be highly motivated. This is one of the

854
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: three games they've dropped this season. And I'll say this too,

855
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: more so than the Minnesota game obviously, and also the

856
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: Miami game down in Miami. This is the one of

857
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: the three losses where I thought the Bills didn't give it.

858
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: The Jets played well enough to win. I thought they

859
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: played really well. Yeah, They're defense was on it. They

860
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: played good in all phases, and they played better on

861
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: that week than the Bills did. And that's this is

862
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: the one loss. I think I can say that about

863
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: the Minnesota game, oh my gosh, and the Dolphin game

864
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: down in the heat early in the season, when the

865
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: Bills were ravaged by injury and then didn't have enough.

866
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't even stand up on the field.

867
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: It was so hot. Those two games in Minnesota in

868
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: Miami game were nothing like the Jet game. The Bills

869
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: lost because I thought the Jets played their best football

870
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: of the season. When you get a team that plays

871
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: its best, they are hard to beat, and the Bills

872
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: found that out on the road. We will take a

873
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: break here, but when we come back, plenty more Jets

874
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 1: to discuss as we are joined by s n Y

Speaker 1: Jets analyst Leege Doozable. He's joining us next here on

Speaker 1: Doozeable joining us on the line to talk some Jets. Lejay,

885
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: how are we doing? Chris Tass, how you guys doing? Man?

886
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: It's good to talk to you guys. Good, good to

887
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: have you on. Thanks for coming spending some time with us.

888
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: What's the vibe in New York with about the Mike

889
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 1: White thing, how it's going, how he played last week?

890
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Give us a little synopsis of how the Jets look.

891
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at his teammates and how

892
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: they've embraced Mike White, right, I mean, all you have

893
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,479
Speaker 1: to see is almost every Jet player had a Mike

894
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: White shirt on heading to Minnesota. That's how they've embraced

895
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: this young man. He's a true leader, a calming presence

896
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: in the huddle. You heard Garrett Wilson speak about that

897
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: after the game, right, He's just cool, calm and collective.

898
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: And when your star rookie receiver comes out and says,

899
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'd go to world with that guy anywhere,

900
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, that kind of lets you know how they

901
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: feel about Mike White. He's a guy that actually processes

902
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: really well, fellas, and he has just a big enough arm,

903
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: and he knows how to run the Mike Laflora offense.

904
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: He's not trying to be Superman out there. He's gonna

905
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives him. And again, this is

906
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: a big opportunity for him this Sunday versus the Bills

907
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: because he gets to kind of wrestle some of them

908
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: demons from last year when the Bills took the ball

909
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 1: away from him four times. Yeah. Right, What do we

910
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: make of the Zach Wilson situation. I mean, it's it's

911
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: not like he gets demoted to back up. He's inactive

912
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: and Robert Sala said he will be again this week.

913
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: I know. He also said they haven't closed the book

914
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: on Zach Wilson as a New York Jet. But this

915
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:26,320
Speaker 1: has got to be far from ideal for Zach Wilson

916
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: and for the organization long term at the position. Right. Yeah,

917
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough situation, right, Chris, Because you talk

918
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: about being a number two overall pick in twenty one, Right,

919
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: that's a high draft picking. Usually guys like that get

920
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: two to three years of opportunity before you know a

921
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: team decides to bench him. But I say kudos to

922
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: Robert salom right. He understands that he has fifty two

923
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: other people to think about on that team. They have

924
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: a playoff slash championship defense the way they get after people,

925
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: and when you have a defense playing at that type

926
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: of level. You can't waste them on a year when

927
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to bring along a young quarterback. Now, granted,

928
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: does this hurt in his growth, maybe, but Zach Wilson

929
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: just wasn't doing the simple things right, the simple checkdowns.

930
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: His footwork was all over the place, turning the ball

931
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 1: over you know verse. You know the New England Patriots

932
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: that first game on simple throwaways, guys, things that you

933
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: cannot do. And then in the second game, but it

934
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: was worse because it was like he was gunshot. He

935
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: just refused to throw the football and was taking unwarded sack.

936
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: So Mike White comes in and of course, you know

937
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 1: he cooks against the Chicago Bears, but then he puts

938
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 1: up three sixty verse two minutes of the Vics. Now, granted,

939
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: right there, their past defense is one of the worst

940
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But it was some of those big

941
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: time throws that we saw Chris and tasks, like the

942
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: fourth and ten pass to Corey Davis with the game

943
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: on the line, on the end breaking route where the

944
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: sake the corners literally on Corey Davis's back and he

945
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: puts it where only Corey Davis can catch the football.

946
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: So It's not an ile ideal thing for the Jets

947
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: because you got a guy that you took number two.

948
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: But shout out to the GM, you know, Joe Douglas

949
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: and all, so head coach Robert Solo from making this

950
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: move understanding what they have on their current roster. Yeah,

951
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: And what's that mean going forward? I mean they're not

952
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: gonna find I mean, as long as Mike White plays well,

953
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: he ain't going anywhere. Zach Wilsons, Yeah, I mean, so

954
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: what that really hamstrings their ability to find out if

955
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson is the guy? Yeah, And I think going forward,

956
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if Zach Wilson was an

957
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: act of the rest of the year. To just be

958
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: honest with you, just because, like you said, tasks, how

959
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: do you look at the fifty two other guys in

960
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: that locker room. When Mike White is averaging going over

961
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 1: three hundred a game, that's something they haven't had all

962
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: year long. Right. And with the defense that I just

963
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: talked about, right, I believe they're top ten and score defense.

964
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: I believe they give up just about eighteen points six

965
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: points a game. And with this front for and how

966
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: they're able to get after the quarterback and then those

967
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: two dominant corners they have, Like it's hard for a

968
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: head coach to, you know, generally look at guys in

969
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: the face and say, we're trying to do what's best

970
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: for the organization. When you have a guy like Mike

971
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 1: White that is producing at a high level in keeping

972
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: you in games. And the thing was, this last game

973
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 1: for Minnesota kind of taught us something about Mike White.

974
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: Right before with Zach Wilson, they were just not they

975
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: were scared to give him certain plays. Well, in that

976
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: game for Minnesota, they opened up the playbook for Mike

977
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 1: White and he threw them back into that game because

978
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: from once this season, this defense didn't play as well

979
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: in the first half, right they were down twenty three,

980
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: Mike White got them back in the game. Now they

981
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: have to be better in the red zone. Obviously, you

982
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: can't go one for six and only score one time,

983
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: score one touchdown in the red zone expect to win

984
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: games in the NFL. But Mike White was efficient with

985
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: the football. You know where to go with the football.

986
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: When that backfoot hit, he let it go. So yes,

987
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: it's a buying but you also have to live in

988
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: a now, right I talked about that. Chris and Steve like,

989
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: if you have if you feel like you have a

990
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: roster that's built for the playoffs, you gotta look at

991
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: those fifty two other guys and be like, we're gonna

992
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 1: do it's best for the team right now. Yes, we

993
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: have to worry about the future, but we gotta do

994
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: its best for this team right now. Yeah, last week,

995
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: the red zone was a problem on both sides of

996
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, the Jets go one for six

997
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: in the red zone on offense, and you know they

998
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: get two cracks added to win the football game at

999
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: the end, they can't punch it in and then un

1000
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: characteristically the defense lets the Vikings go in three of three.

1001
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: Is do we consider this a one off or is

1002
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: this a troubling situation that's brewing here? I would say

1003
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a one off, right it was on offense.

1004
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: Let's start with the offense first, guys. Lack of execution

1005
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: in the red zone will kill you. Also, I think

1006
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: Michael flore would like to have a few play calls

1007
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: back if we're being honest, I mean the screen the

1008
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: screenplay on one first down and then an end around

1009
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: or a speed sweep to Braxton burials. When you know

1010
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: Zonovin Knight was running with purpose, I think you should

1011
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: have gave him three cracks at that and then maybe

1012
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: on fourth and one through the football because again he

1013
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: made Harrison Smith, who was a perennial Pro Bowl safety,

1014
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: miss in the hole when he was Scott free and

1015
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: he got back to the line of scrimmage. So I

1016
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: think it was a combination of some play calls that

1017
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: michae la Floor would like to have back, and then

1018
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: just pour execution in the red zone on defense. Honestly,

1019
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: it seemed like the defense kind of slept walk through

1020
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: the first half. I don't know what it was. They

1021
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: just routinely bow up in the red zone and they didn't. Now, granted,

1022
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: you know DJ read one on one with Justin Jefferson

1023
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: in the second half on that red zone opportunity, Justin

1024
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: Jefferson's gonna make most corners, you know, look bad on

1025
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: one on one situation. It wasn't like he made DJ

1026
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: Read look bad. He's just a superior receiver. Honestly, think

1027
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: he should be in an MVP MVP race and not

1028
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: just offensive player race this year for what he's done

1029
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings. I mean, you guys know what firsthand.

1030
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the game versus Minnesota he was, I mean verse,

1031
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: you guys was ridiculous. I mean, I think he went

1032
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: over one eighty that game. But you know, the defense

1033
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: just didn't make the stops right. I think there was

1034
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: some miscommunication on some and then one cardinal sin. We

1035
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: used to always say on defense, you can't let them

1036
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: run the football in right, and the Jets allowed that

1037
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: in the first half. You can't allow somebody to run

1038
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: the football in on you. They they you know, they

1039
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: shirt things up in the second half. They really nullified

1040
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: the run game. And besides that, one driver justin Jefferson

1041
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: scored the Minnesota If I can do anything, the second

1042
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: have and I mean, you know, the Jets are the

1043
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: best fourth quarter team as far as point differential in

1044
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, I think Minnesota was second. So if they

1045
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: had just started faster in that game, I believe that

1046
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: game would have turned out different for him. The last

1047
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: time these two teams played, I think the Jets put

1048
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: together their most complete effort of the season. I mean

1049
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: Zach Wilt, I mean, he didn't throw it away, didn't

1050
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: he didn't do anything crazy, and they played well enough

1051
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: to win. In fact, I was telling Brownie just before

1052
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: you came on, of the three losses of the Bills have,

1053
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: that's the one you got no excuse for. The Jets

1054
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: out played them. What can the Jets take from that

1055
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: game into this one help him here in Orchard Park? Yeah.

1056
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: I think they feel comfortable in who they are. They

1057
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: know they're a defensive minded team that is going to

1058
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: come and play hard in those defense right that front,

1059
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: for right, they were a pain in Josh Allen's side

1060
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: that game. I believe five sacks that game and for

1061
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: us two interceptions, and it actually should have been three.

1062
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: Jordan white had dropped another one later on in that

1063
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: third quarter. But again, some of those players Josh Allen

1064
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: you don't routinely see him making. Now, he's made a

1065
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: few of them this year, but going back to the

1066
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: last few years he had, he routinely hadn't made some

1067
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: of those, like the Jordan Whitehead interception that was mine boggling.

1068
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: I know, I thought he was trying to throw it

1069
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: over his head to Dawson Knox, but he literally threw

1070
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: it right to Jordan Whitehead and then the other one

1071
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: to Sauce Garner. Um, I didn't understand where he saw

1072
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: on that play sauce you know, sluft soft and zone

1073
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: coverage and gets an easy pick that hits him right

1074
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: in between the numbers. But this defense gets after you, right,

1075
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: And they got after Josh Allen pretty good that game.

1076
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: That was the game he actually hurt his elbow because

1077
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: Bryce Hoff, you know, beat Quisinburry across the edge when

1078
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: you know Josh was in dropping back to throw the

1079
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: ball and he went for the ball and his elbow

1080
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: got hurt on that play. So this defensive line gets

1081
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: after people, right. And like honestly, Sunday's game was the

1082
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: game that they didn't create as much pressure as they

1083
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: routinely do, and I thought they would were Christian darrisaw

1084
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: being out that game. It'll be interesting to see if

1085
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, my guy Dion Dawkins can go this week,

1086
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: because if not, I think the Jets liked their situation

1087
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: with you know, Spencer Brown and Quisinberry on the album side.

1088
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about the Zonovi night he

1089
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: gets he gets the start last week fifteen, carries ninety yards.

1090
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: As you said, he was running with purpose. Do you

1091
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: think he earns another start? Does he earn the lion's

1092
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: share of the load, or do they continue going committee

1093
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: approach here. I honestly think he deserves to start, right.

1094
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 1: And I love Michael Carter, but if you look at

1095
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: Michael Carter in this history, right, he's never been the

1096
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,959
Speaker 1: number one back. He's always had to share the load.

1097
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: And if you hear Robert sala he's just so giddy

1098
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: about Bam Knight. Right. He runs with purpose. He's that

1099
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: one cut, get down here runner, And that's what you

1100
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: need in is Michae Laflores last Shanahan system. Right, you

1101
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: can't be dancing in the backfield. And you see from

1102
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: these clips try here, right, he gets downhill fasten in

1103
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: the hurry. There's no fair dodging in the backfield. And

1104
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: then he seeks out contact and runs through contacts contact,

1105
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: and he does a really good job catching the ball

1106
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: out of the backfield as well. So honestly, the way

1107
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: that Robert Salas talked about this kid, I would not

1108
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: be surprised if he got to start again versalo. And

1109
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: if and if he does, I mean give us an

1110
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: idea of how much he can comment. Because Garrett Wilson

1111
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: certainly has emerged as being the guy. I mean, they

1112
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: got everything they desired in him, certainly is the number

1113
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: one guy going forward. How balanced does this offense need

1114
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: to be and what can we expect to see run

1115
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 1: versus pass? Garrett Wilson and the running game, Well, it

1116
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: needs to be way more balanced than it was Sunday.

1117
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean Mike White through the wall fifty seven times.

1118
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: I guarantee that's that wasn't you know the intent going

1119
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: into that game? Verst the minutes of the Vikings. Now,

1120
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: you know Bam Knight ran for over ninety but let's

1121
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: not forget one run he broke for like forty five yards.

1122
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: So the other runs I believe combined on his thirteen carries,

1123
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: he averaged like three point six yards to carry. So

1124
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: they have to be a little bit better in the

1125
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: run game, and that starts up front with the offensive line.

1126
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: George Fent was able to come back last week. I

1127
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: mean Max Mitchell started the game, but they inserted George

1128
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Fenn I think within the first quarter because Max Mitchell

1129
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: had some struggles early on in that game. So I

1130
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: think George Fent will start this week and hopefully they

1131
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: can bring that continuity with that offensive line. As far

1132
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: as that zone scheme. They got to be able to

1133
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: run off the football. This is an athletic defensive line

1134
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, and one thing they do is

1135
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: they rotate a lot of guys, just like the New

1136
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: York Jets do. So this would be something that the

1137
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: Jets are used to sing on offense because they've practiced

1138
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: against our defensive line or the Jets defense line, and they,

1139
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, constantly rotate guys. Especially with Von Miller being out,

1140
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, those guys are gonna definitely rotate a lot

1141
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: of guys. You know, Epinezza has a sack last week

1142
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I thought was big for him. Greg Russo came back

1143
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: from his injury last week at Oliver two weeks ago,

1144
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: was the defensive player of the Week in the AFC.

1145
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a tall task for this offensive

1146
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: line and make no mistakes. I think Dwayne Brown, being

1147
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: a wily veteran that is, came out this week and said,

1148
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: we have to have our most complete game and we

1149
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: have to play mistake free football if we want to

1150
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: win this game. I think it's gonna be a very

1151
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: different game for a multitude of reasons. But I think

1152
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: because of the personnel that are actually healthy enough to

1153
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: play in this thing. You mentioned George Fan. You know

1154
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Bam Knight is a factor. Now Corey Davis didn't playing

1155
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: the last game. For the Jets, you have Mike White

1156
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and then for the Bills, their defense is

1157
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,439
Speaker 1: miles healthier than they were back in Week nine when

1158
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, Tredavius White, and Matt Mlanna weren't on the field.

1159
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: All three of those guys are gonna be in the

1160
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: lineup on Sunday. It's gonna be a lot different for

1161
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: Mike White. Yeah, and we talked about this starting the

1162
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: show or starting the second hour of the show, right,

1163
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: he gets to exercise some of those demons. And if

1164
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, I believe the Bills are what eight

1165
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: and no when Jordan Poyer plays this year, so you

1166
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: know things are in their favor. That lets you know

1167
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: what type of player Jordan Poyer is and what he

1168
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: means to not only this defense, this team. Right, He's

1169
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: that rock solid safety in the back, perennial Pro bowler,

1170
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: one of the best safeties in the league. I love Jordan.

1171
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I've I trained with him down here in Miami for

1172
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: many years. So He's just an amazing dude and an

1173
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: amazing player. And Matt Milano, and I mean, and you

1174
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: talked about Matt Milanna, but Tremaine Edmonds the way he

1175
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: played last week fellas you could tell he was pissed

1176
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: off being home and hurt because literally I felt like

1177
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: for the first twenty plays that game, he was around

1178
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: the ball carrier like he played with his hair on

1179
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:08,479
Speaker 1: fire last week. And with him and Matt Milano, one

1180
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: mic dare to say that's the best linebacking crew in

1181
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: the NFL when both of those guys are actually healthy

1182
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: and on the field, and Tradavious White is working his

1183
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: way back as well. So you're right, Chris, this will

1184
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: be a different, different game because I think both sides

1185
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: are more healthier than they were the first time they played.

1186
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: What about that, besides you know von Miller and potentially

1187
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: if Dion Dawkins can go right, give us an idea

1188
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: of what the Jets plan was and why they were

1189
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: able to hold Josh Allen at bay the last time

1190
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: these two teams played. Yeah, they just put they put

1191
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: it on the front floor, and that's that's been the

1192
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: bread and butter of this team. Right. If you go

1193
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: and look at Robert Sala's lineage and when he was

1194
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: at Seattle and when he was at San Francisco, right,

1195
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: he always wanted to have a front flour and then

1196
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: he wanted to have two shut down corners. Where they

1197
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: got that with the New York Jets. So like when

1198
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: you can rush for and keep the safeties over the

1199
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: top and maybe even bracket you know, a steph on

1200
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Diggs with one of the safeties and have one safety

1201
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: free in the middle of the field, it makes it

1202
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: a lot easier for your defense, right because you already

1203
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: know what you're doing. Now, they don't mind putting those

1204
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: two corners on the island. We saw that last week.

1205
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: DJ Reid was lined up with Justin Jefferson a few

1206
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: times in one on one situation. So it'll be interesting

1207
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: to see, right the chest match that's gonna happen. Well,

1208
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey move you know digs around and put them

1209
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: more in the slot this time around to be able

1210
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: on Michael Carter. Another thing the Jets most likely probably

1211
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: have Michael Carter. He got banged up in last week's

1212
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: game and had to come out, try to go back

1213
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: into the game, was limping around, didn't look good. They

1214
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: pulled them out of the game, so that'll be a

1215
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: matchup to watch. Brandon Eckles most likely slides into that

1216
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: slot area. Does Ken Dorsey try to take advantage of

1217
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: that because he's had some struggles when Michael Carter has

1218
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: been hurt in that slot area, So I would not

1219
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: be surprised to see them motioning Stefon Diggs putting them

1220
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: in that slot to take advantage of that situation. But

1221
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, bearing no bags of bones about it, like

1222
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 1: Robert Salad, trust these corners. He will put them in

1223
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: man coverage. And sometimes they'll have those who say he's

1224
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: over the top to keep it in two man. But

1225
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: those two guys on the outside, he's comfortable with putting

1226
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: them in man coverage. Right, Leja, Thanks for all the insight.

1227
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: We appreciate it, as we always do every year. We

1228
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of hit you up for the Jets, So thanks

1229
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: for spelling it all out for us. Should be a

1230
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: good game on Sunday. Yeah, I can't wait to see

1231
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: you guys. All right. That's j Dousable, analyst for CBS Sports,

1232
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: joining us here and always has the four one one

1233
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: for us on the New York Jets. As he covers

1234
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: that team each and every season. I really think it's

1235
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: going to be a much different game than the one

1236
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: we saw in Week nine for a multitude of reasons. Obviously,

1237
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: if von Miller, we know Von Miller is not going

1238
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: to be part of the equation. Being on ir Deon

1239
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: Dawkins is still a question mark as he's trying to

1240
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: get back from that ankle injury in time for Sunday's game.

1241
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: But I think defensively, the Bill's defense is going to

1242
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: be miles different from what the Jets saw the first time. Granted,

1243
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a different quarterback looking at the Bills

1244
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: defense anyway, and Mike White, but just think about that.

1245
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: Steve no Tredavious White, no Jordan Poyer, no Matt Milano

1246
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: in the first matchup in Week nine, those three guys

1247
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: are all gonna be on the field on Sunday. That

1248
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 1: makes a huge difference. Upon Miller is not going to

1249
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: be there though, and this is gonna be This is

1250
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: not gonna be one of those games I think where

1251
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: the Bills run off and leave this team. Their front

1252
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: is too good. I think it's gonna be hard to

1253
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:29,759
Speaker 1: score on them. A points are gonna be in a premium,

1254
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to score when you get the chance.

1255
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: And I think one thing that you gotta do too

1256
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: is get a turnover. You gotta be on the positive

1257
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: side of the turnover. If you're even in the turnover margin,

1258
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a one score game at the end

1259
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: of it. I think just because of the quality of

1260
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: their defense and the depth they have, and He's right,

1261
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: their corners will hold up if they give whoever's got

1262
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs help. I think Gabe Davis is going to

1263
01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: be put under a little pressure to win some one

1264
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 1: on ones, Mackenzie will be going to put under some

1265
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: pressure to win some one on ones, and it'll be

1266
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: up to the running backs to maybe and Dawson Knox

1267
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: to emerge maybe a little bit, which has you know

1268
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people been calling for Dawson Knox to

1269
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, and he hasn't yet. Jets are talking

1270
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 1: about having to start faster this week. They they got

1271
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: blitzed early in that game against the Vikings. They're down

1272
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: seventeen to three before they even blinked. And yes, they

1273
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: climb into it at the end, but I gotta believe

1274
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 1: the Bills can kind of go to school on some

1275
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: of the things that the Vikings did to be so

1276
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: successful early on in that game. Well, yeah, yeah, and

1277
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: every team will, but I think there's also something. You know,

1278
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 1: the Jets are good enough defensively to do something, and

1279
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: I think I think Ken Dorsey's gonna be put to

1280
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: the test here. He's gonna have to make some adjustments

1281
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: on the fly. I don't know, especially if Dawkins can't

1282
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: particularly too. Since you got to feel like the Jets

1283
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: are gonna think, and maybe rightfully so. They're gonna match

1284
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: up fine with the Bills offensive line, and they if

1285
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: they can get some sing goal blockers on some matchups

1286
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: they like Josh maybe running around back there. The Jets

1287
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 1: are going to come in pretty confident on defense, and

1288
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: it's the other side of the ball, the what the

1289
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: Bills defense can get done against their offense. I think

1290
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be the difference in the game. Now,

1291
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break here, but when we come back,

1292
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: we've got some thoughts of yours on the tweet sheet.

1293
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: How many points do you think it's going to take

1294
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:27,799
Speaker 1: and why to get a win over the Jets on Sunday,

1295
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 1: And we might have a little bit of time for

1296
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: some NFL true falls. All of that next here on

1297
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,879
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live, presented by Kalid of Health, It's Buffalo

1298
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. All right, how many points do you think

1299
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: the Bills need to beat the Jets on Sunday? And

1300
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: tell us why? Eight oh three five fifty one eight

1301
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty the number to get

1302
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: on board, We go to the tweet sheet right now.

1303
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 1: Tweet chet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1304
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Dan leads

1305
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: us off and says twenty four plus for points. Mike

1306
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: White is an efficient enough quarterback that he will keep

1307
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 1: their offense on the field just enough to keep it close.

1308
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: It's kind of what we've been talking about the whole time.

1309
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: He's he brings a functionality to the Jets offense that

1310
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson flat out could not. He just couldn't. One

1311
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: problem Mike White is gonna have is he's not gonna

1312
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: be going against the thirty first pass defense in the

1313
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: NFL this week. He did last week. That's gonna be

1314
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 1: a problem for him. Thirty first overall defense too. I

1315
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: mean they give up yards like it's a candy. See,

1316
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be playing against the defense as every bit

1317
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: as good as the Jet defense or vice versa. So

1318
01:11:56,040 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. We'll see. I'm fully confident to

1319
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense that he's going to see this week

1320
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 1: is going to be much different than the one that

1321
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: played the Jets the first time, and that's going to

1322
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 1: be the difference in this game. I don't think Mike

1323
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: White is going to be able to keep up. Yeah,

1324
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: that's that's the way I think if the Bills win,

1325
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, I think, yes, it's it's not great

1326
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 1: that you don't have Von Miller, but I think it's

1327
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:25,959
Speaker 1: the guy's in the back seven that are even more important.

1328
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: You have Poyer, you have Dredevious White. He's gonna play

1329
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: even more this week. Coach Frazier said it yesterday addressing

1330
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: the media. They were very encouraged by the way Trey

1331
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 1: played on Thursday night against New England, and he said

1332
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: yesterday they want to put even more on his plate

1333
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 1: this week. He's got a Trey loves rising to a challenge,

1334
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: and I'm I don't think he's gonna follow Garrett Wilson

1335
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 1: all over the field, but Garrett Wilson is a nice challenge,

1336
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 1: so pretty much. So, Yeah, Trey usually rises to the

1337
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: occasion in those situations, and you have Player and you

1338
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: have Milano. You didn't have all three of those guys

1339
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: in the last meeting in week nine, So I think

1340
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: that's a good thing from a Bill's perspective. Jeremy on

1341
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says twenty one points or more. I

1342
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: think our team is starting to hit the summit for

1343
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 1: the season, and I think both sides of the ball

1344
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: will play better than they did the last time. This

1345
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: defense is going to keep Mike White in check, which

1346
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 1: kind of goes to what you were saying. You know

1347
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: that Mike's not Mike. Think I could be able to

1348
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 1: keep up both teams. Both teams are in a better

1349
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: place now than they were the first meeting. The Bill's

1350
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 1: defense certainly is except with the exception of Vaughan, and

1351
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: I think the offense is further down the road toward

1352
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: becoming what it has been in years past now with

1353
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,759
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey instead of Brian Dable. So it's it's interesting

1354
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: to kind of transpose where we think these teams are

1355
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: now is to where they were when they met earlier

1356
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 1: in the season, and I know it's I mean it

1357
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: was all the way back end. Where was it was

1358
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: Week nine? So it's been a month since, five weeks

1359
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:09,440
Speaker 1: six weeks now since they played. Things have changed dramatically,

1360
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 1: not just at the quarterback position for the Jets, as

1361
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: they typically do in every NFL season. Joe on the

1362
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: tweet sheet says twenty seven points, including several long drives

1363
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:23,560
Speaker 1: that eat up clock, and the Bill showed a propensity

1364
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: to do that against the Patriots last Thursday. So eating

1365
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: up clock with a run game that has suddenly discovering

1366
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: reliable production. You know, they run for one sixty plus

1367
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: against the Browns and the Lions in each of those

1368
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: two games. They don't run for quite as much against

1369
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but the run game was effective enough for

1370
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: a balanced attack and some clock eating drives. That fifteen

1371
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: play ninety four yard drive took almost nine minutes off

1372
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: the clock last week. You do that against the Jets,

1373
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: and I don't care who Mike White is. Yeah, that's

1374
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 1: a crusher, particularly if you do it in the second half. Now,

1375
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 1: plus ask that defense out in the process. Lej Doozable

1376
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,639
Speaker 1: made a great point the Jets are really good fourth

1377
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: quarter team. They score in the fourth quarter and their

1378
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: defense rises up in the fourth quarter. Their point differential

1379
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: is as good as anybody's in the league, better than

1380
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: everybody's in the league. That's an issue for the Bills.

1381
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 1: You hate seeing that, and which makes you think, you

1382
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: know you're gonna need a padded lead at the end

1383
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: of this game or the Jets are gonna And I

1384
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: said this too. The Jets seem to me like the

1385
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: being a spot now, particularly in this game against the Bills.

1386
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: They're a little debt. They gotta win this game. Yeah,

1387
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,599
Speaker 1: it's huge for the Jets to win this game. So

1388
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: I think this is a coaching steps going to roll

1389
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 1: it out there and take some chances where they otherwise

1390
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: might not have in weeks past. And I think the

1391
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Jets may be good enough to pull off a few

1392
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 1: of those things. So I think it's a They're a

1393
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: dangerous team for that reason. They have outscored their opponents

1394
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: ninety four to forty in the fourth quarter, but that's

1395
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: also due in part to the fact that they've been

1396
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 1: outscored in the other three quarters this season. Not by

1397
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: a lot, but they've been outscored by nine in the

1398
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: first quarter, by six in the second quarter, and by

1399
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 1: ten in the third quarter, so relatively even through the

1400
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: first three quarters, and then something happens. They kick it

1401
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: into year in the fourth quarter when they separate times

1402
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: call for desperate measures. Well, yeah, and Jets are winning team,

1403
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 1: winning team seven and five. They're having a good season.

1404
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: That's a sign of a team that maybe he's got

1405
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: a little more into the hood than we give them

1406
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 1: credit for being able to do that and put their

1407
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: foot on the gas in the fourth quarter when it's

1408
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: a tight game. I gotta give him credit. Yeah, Butch

1409
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: is resolutely confident it's gonna be a blowout. He says

1410
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:51,840
Speaker 1: thirty eight seven Bills be nice if it happens. I'm

1411
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: not convinced it will, but we'll see. James on the

1412
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet says twenty four points. Buffalo has a much

1413
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: better overall defense than the Viking, the Jets opponent last week.

1414
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: If Buffalo gets a solid lead, they won't give it back.

1415
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: I could, I could, I could buy that comment from James. Yeah,

1416
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: this is Bills aren't in the business are giving up

1417
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 1: leads very often? No, there the Bills, and you can

1418
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 1: say what you want but you know, a late a

1419
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 1: late touchdown against the Green Bay makes it a ten

1420
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: point game. Had a couple of hiccups during the season,

1421
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: but for the most part, No, not giving up leads, right,

1422
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: But earlier in the season, yeah, they had a couple

1423
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: issues with that in back to back weeks. Actually, Jack

1424
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, as many points as possible.

1425
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't want them to let up at all. The

1426
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: last game against the Jets, we blew a two score

1427
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 1: lead and that was with Wilson, So I hope we

1428
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 1: get out there and put tons of pressure on their defense.

1429
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,799
Speaker 1: If we can get to twenty eight thirty one points,

1430
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: we're in good shape. But don't hold back Josh, right. Yeah,

1431
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: it was fourteen to three and it was first half

1432
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: lead and they gave it up and lost the football game,

1433
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: doing part to turnovers, one in the red zone, the

1434
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: other on their inside their own twenty yard line, which

1435
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,719
Speaker 1: led to points for the Jets on the other side

1436
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: of the ledger. Vince on the tweet sheet says, if

1437
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: we don't turn it over, twenty four to thirty one

1438
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: points is enough. White's playing well, so get them to

1439
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: turn it over and give our offense another possession. That's

1440
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: a win win. Yeah, it is. And they had no

1441
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: problem turning Mike White over last year. He had four

1442
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 1: picks no touchdowns against the Bills in a forty five

1443
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: seventeen lopsided loss. Yeah, and certainly if they start turning,

1444
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: if they start getting Mike White to turn it over

1445
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: like they did a year ago, games over anyway, I

1446
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 1: mean they're not The Jets aren't good enough offensively to

1447
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: turn it over multiple times and still stay in the

1448
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: football game. Yeah. So yeah, Jay Lesh on the tweet

1449
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 1: sheet says as many points as they can score to

1450
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 1: demoralize the Jets and scare the heck out of the Dolphins.

1451
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're scaring anybody these days in

1452
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,759
Speaker 1: our dealings. Forget about the Dolphins. If you can start

1453
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: playing on an uptick all the time like they were

1454
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: able to at the end of last season, and I

1455
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's too early to do that.

1456
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: You got five games left, that's a long stretch. You've

1457
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: already won three straight on the road, all three of

1458
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: them on the road, which has been a great stretch

1459
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: for the Bills. But you're in the midst of a

1460
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: three game stretch. It's going to define your season in

1461
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: the division title. I don't have a problem starting to

1462
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: hit your stride at this time of year. Might even

1463
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: be a little early, but man oh man, it's never

1464
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: a bad time to you if you're feeling it to flex. Yeah,

1465
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know if you're going to be

1466
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: able to do that offensively against this jet defense. It's

1467
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, it's really good. Daniel on the tweet

1468
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: sheet says, never knowing what the d will do week

1469
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 1: to week. One week good, one week not so much.

1470
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: I think the Bills need to be in the high thirties.

1471
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: I hope the offense is up to would go Bills.

1472
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mean the defense. Yeah, you

1473
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: gave up twenty five to Detroit and you gave up

1474
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: twenty three to Cleveland, But there were some garbage points

1475
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,599
Speaker 1: at the end against the Browns, you know, two touchdown

1476
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: drives late, and you give up ten to the Patriots

1477
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 1: last week. I have a feeling that the defense is

1478
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: rounding into form here, even with von Miller on I R.

1479
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 1: I don't know why I feel that way, I just do.

1480
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 1: I kind of see them locking it down here for

1481
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:29,440
Speaker 1: the last five weeks of the season. Miami might be challenging,

1482
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: but and Cincinnati might be tough. You know where they're

1483
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: not holding them under twenty, right, But the rest of

1484
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: these opponents, I think they're gonna hold them under twenty

1485
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,679
Speaker 1: points in each of those games. We'll see the Jets.

1486
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: The Jets, no doubt. The Jets have struggle to score points.

1487
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean they got seventeen ten or I'm sorry, they

1488
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 1: got twenty. They scored three, then they scored thirty one

1489
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 1: against the Bears, and then twenty two last weekend. When

1490
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: it's there, they're gonna take advantage of it. You gotta

1491
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,799
Speaker 1: You can't like last week a miss, a bad angle

1492
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: and a mistackle and you're down seven to nothing or

1493
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: seven to three to the Patriots. Yeah, because you had

1494
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: a mistackle and a bad angle. That kind of stuff

1495
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: haunts you. It doesn't take much. Don't do that to

1496
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: the Jets, right, Yeah, I mean, your Jets are talking

1497
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,640
Speaker 1: about starting fast. The Bill's gotta do that too. Just

1498
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: make them think that Week nine was an aberration. And

1499
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 1: then I don't pullong on the field. I get it.

1500
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: You can. It goes a long way. You're able to

1501
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,759
Speaker 1: lump a team up particularly one with a good defense,

1502
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 1: and you do it on both sides of the ball.

1503
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,679
Speaker 1: Your offense scores a ton of points, in your defense

1504
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: just stifles them. That's a huge confidence boost going into

1505
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 1: the stretch of the season, and it will set you

1506
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: up nicely for the next week. But getting off to

1507
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: a fast start is really the first step in doing that.

1508
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: You get off to a fast start against this team,

1509
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 1: and they may be looking sideways at each other. So

1510
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: we'll see. That'll do it for the tweet sheet. We're

1511
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:18,759
Speaker 1: gonna move ahead now to a little NFL true Falls.

1512
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: We had fun with that yesterday, so why not hit

1513
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: it again here today in Tuesday's edition of One Bills Live.

1514
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: Question number one for NFL true falls, Steve and I

1515
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 1: should mention NFL true falls brought to you by Patrone Tequila,

1516
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 1: the official tequila of the Buffalo Bills. Question number one,

1517
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is still shaping up to be the franchise quarterback.

1518
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: Jacksonville wanted, what do you say to that? Oh? I

1519
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: think so? Yeah, he shows flashes. He almost His rookie

1520
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 1: season was almost a wash, a wasted year. It was

1521
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,839
Speaker 1: mismanaged with the turmoil that went on at other places

1522
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: in the organization it had coach and all of that.

1523
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:05,719
Speaker 1: I think that he has shown moments in this season

1524
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: where you think, Okay, he's the guy. He can spend it,

1525
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: he can run. Yeah. I think there's still a lot

1526
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: of hope and a lot of optimism that Trevor Lawrence

1527
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 1: is going to be exactly who they thought he was

1528
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 1: going to be. I mean, he's put together a pretty

1529
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: nice season. Doug Peterson is a good coach to have

1530
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: as your head coach if you're Trevor Lawrence and you're

1531
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 1: trying to blossom in this league. He's completed over sixty

1532
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: five percent of his passes seventeen touchdowns to three picks,

1533
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: so he's pretty much a three to one touchdown to

1534
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: interception ratio there. He does offer you escapability in the

1535
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 1: run game, and his passer ratings ninety two point eight

1536
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: for second year quarterback, those are pretty good numbers. One

1537
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: of the reasons this is a question this week is

1538
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: because they got lumped up by a bad Detroit team

1539
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: forty to fourteen. I don't think that was a Trevor

1540
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 1: Lawrence issue. I think that was a Jacksonville defense issue.

1541
01:23:57,680 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: When you're giving up forty points and they're scoring on

1542
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: eight of their first eight possessions. That's not on your

1543
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. That's on your defense. Your rookie quarterback can't

1544
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 1: even get on the field. So I don't think that's

1545
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: an indictment on Trevor Lawrence. I think it's an indictment

1546
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 1: on the roster in Jacksonville, in the work they still

1547
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: have to do. Yeah, but I'll say true. I think

1548
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: he's shaping up to be the franchise quarterback Jacksonville wanted.

1549
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if his ceiling is as high as

1550
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: people thought, but I think you can win with that kid,

1551
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: So I will say true. NFL true falls number two

1552
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers offense won't drop off with Brock Purty

1553
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 1: at quarterback. What do we say to that, Steve, I'm hesitating.

1554
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:49,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes, it will drop off. The laws.

1555
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: The last player picked in the draft is not going

1556
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 1: to play as well as Jimmy Garoppolo did before he

1557
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,680
Speaker 1: got hurt. It's just not gonna happen. And you can

1558
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,639
Speaker 1: say what you want about the way Jimmy Garoppolo played.

1559
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 1: Everybody has a lot of fun, and you know, hus

1560
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: their own opinion about how good or bad. Garoppolo is

1561
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: most people think he's barely good enough, and the Niners

1562
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: were trying to get rid of him. Most of that, though,

1563
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 1: was because of his salary, not because the guy's a

1564
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 1: bad guy or a really bad football player. I don't

1565
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 1: think it's there's any way that they may have flashes

1566
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: where Purdy can get him and play him well and

1567
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 1: play well as quarterback. But I don't think overall, at

1568
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: the end of this season you're gonna look back and

1569
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: say they were better or as even as good as

1570
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:47,600
Speaker 1: they were with Jimmy Garoppolo. They're at home against the

1571
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: Bucks on a short week. Bucks defense is still pretty good.

1572
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 1: Purdy showed me something though against the Dolphins. Not that

1573
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense is killing it right now. They have

1574
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 1: their they have their fall it's in their flaws, and

1575
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:08,480
Speaker 1: you have supreme talent around him. Deebo, Samuel Christian McCaffrey,

1576
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 1: I mean even Brandon I George Kittle. I mean they

1577
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:15,520
Speaker 1: have playmakers where all Purdy has to do is distribute

1578
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 1: the football, and Kyle Shanahan is a good enough play

1579
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: caller to make those reads easy and readily apparent for

1580
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: Purdy to pull the trigger. So Is he gonna beat

1581
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady this week? I don't know, but I think

1582
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: he can make some plays for you because of the

1583
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: playmakers around him. The Myers might beat the Bucks, but

1584
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: Purdie's not gonna beat Tom r And Garoppolo is horribly average,

1585
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: and he has been for most of his career. So

1586
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 1: with the playmakers that Purdy's got around him, is he

1587
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 1: gonna be that much worse than Garoppolo? Maybe not that

1588
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: much worse, but they're not gonna be better. I mean

1589
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: that's what the question was. Offense won't drop off? Yeah,

1590
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna drop

1591
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. All right, I'm gonna say they'll be

1592
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: able to sustain what they've done with Garoppolo. I will say, true,

1593
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 1: you're not gonna drop off a cliff maybe, but he's

1594
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know who. I don't

1595
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 1: know who. You don't know Brock Purdy for a hole

1596
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,560
Speaker 1: in your head? Right, I couldn't pick him out of

1597
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: a lineup. Yeah, but I'll say that, how tough can

1598
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:18,759
Speaker 1: it be in San Francisco? Right? You got the best

1599
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: play call or the best offense? I mean, they're one

1600
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:22,919
Speaker 1: of the best running backs, one of the best receivers.

1601
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:26,640
Speaker 1: After the catch play like key boys, just get the

1602
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 1: ball out of your hands. Yeah, break time for us

1603
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 1: is that his NFL True Falls. Brought to you by

1604
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 1: Patron Tequila, the official tequila of the Buffalo Bills. We'll

1605
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 1: take a break. Be back with more here on One

1606
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Stay tuned, Welcome back to One Bills Live.

1607
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 1: Christ Brown, Steve Tasker and what we were speculating about

1608
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: at the top of the show concerning Odell Beckham Junior,

1609
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 1: who completed his free agent tour. I guess you would

1610
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: say in Dallas this morning has a little bit more

1611
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 1: light shed on it at this point. According to ESPN's

1612
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: Ed Werder, the Cowboys fear that free agent wide receiver

1613
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior is not progressed enough in his recovery

1614
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 1: from the torn acl he suffered in the Rams Super

1615
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: Bowl and have concerns about his physical now with each visit,

1616
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,679
Speaker 1: presumably he took a physical with each of those teams

1617
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:38,120
Speaker 1: respective medical staffs, and it's apparently coming out in Dallas

1618
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 1: that Beckham may not pass physicals at this point in time. Well,

1619
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 1: that's interesting because you know he's been cleared to play

1620
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 1: by his medical people in there. Yeah, that's that. Daws's

1621
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: a little water, that's nothing, that's not nothing, and these

1622
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 1: and you're not going to pry at this point of

1623
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 1: the season. You're not going to pry the kind of

1624
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: money he's asking for out of any NFL team if

1625
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 1: you're not one hundred percent healthy and can't help like

1626
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 1: this weekend. Yeah, you know what I mean. M So

1627
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how it transpires in the

1628
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 1: coming weeks. Yeah, I mean that that doesn't sound very promising.

1629
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 1: I mean, the general consensus now is at least coming

1630
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 1: out of Dallas, is he may not be ready to

1631
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: play until twenty twenty three. Right now. Does that mean

1632
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 1: playoffs twenty twenty three or does that mean next fall

1633
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three? That is the question going forward. But

1634
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: it looks like regular season might be out of the equation. Steve,

1635
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:41,880
Speaker 1: and I'll see you tomorrow when the Bills are back

1636
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 1: on the practice field. Will see it. One
