1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh a good times, faster busts down all the time.

2
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: That's how we get started every day every day here

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: noon to three. Welcome to the show. Welcome to Orchard Park,

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: new airfield right next door where the Buffalo Bills take

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: the field on Sunday, a couple of days away to

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: play the Chicago Bears, first time the Bears have played

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: here in a long time. Good afternoon walking to the show,

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: John Murphy's deep tasker in our one Buffalo studio Here

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: until three o'clock today with a good show plan, the

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: Bills getting set to play the Bears on Sunday. My

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: goal today, Steve, is to get through the day without

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: getting mad at you or anybody else. It's been at

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: our show slipped into madness yesterday. It's been a rough week.

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: It's been a rough week for me. I think you

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: might agree with this as well. Just the lost Monday

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: was raw into that. You're not all right, It's been

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: a rough week for me. The lost Monday was very troublesome.

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: The offensive failures on Monday that bother me. Uh, some

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: of the calls and tweets we received all week, they yeah,

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: I try not to let those bother me. We just

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: had a rough week. We've had horrible weather since Tuesday,

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: the day after the game. We've had a Bill's team

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: that has issues injury wise, and you know, a couple

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: of plugins are gonna have to have. It hasn't been

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: It has not been a good week, I'll confess. And

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: yet I come here today determined and resolved. They have

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a good day at work and a good day on

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: the show. Steve, I am resolute in my conviction that

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a good show, and this is

30
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: gonna be a good day, and don't try to screw

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: it up for it. I will try not just to

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: mess that up for you. I promise we are. We

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: do perform somewhat of a public service in that and

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: that once in a while a caller will come and vent, yeah,

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: yesterday they allowed me to do the same um which

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: I did. I don't know. Late in the show, I

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: guess somebody, what was it? What would the guy call? Yeah,

38
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: that's oh yeah, I remember he called said something about

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: I feel bad for these players because why would they

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: even try when the when the front office isn't trying

41
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: for them in the change since they went to can

42
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: I kind of Steve went up to gas. It was

43
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: that I had trouble following your logic. But I didn't

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: think logic. Logic. Yeah, I didn't know logic bad event

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: or anything. I didn't logic and football rant. It was fine.

46
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: I just said trouble. I had a tird time identifying

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: why that particular comment got you so fired up, because

48
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: he was talking about players and how they should feel

49
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: and I and he could not have been more wrong,

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: and I and I jumped on him. I probably was

51
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: a little out of line, and so today we make amends.

52
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: I was not a line, but I was a little bit,

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: a little bit over the top of my passion. Steve

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: and I make amends today. No yelling, no fighting. We

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: may disagree, and that's fine, and when I hope we do.

56
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Maybe one of the traits that I have I kind

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: of get passionate about things I think I know about, right, Yeah,

58
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean whether I know about him or not as irrelevant.

59
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: If I think I know about him, yeah, and I'm like,

60
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm the guy on the soapbox stumping my feet. Yeah,

61
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: that's fine, that's probably that's fine. Oh, that's probably make

62
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: it makes you well suited for this job. But I,

63
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: for one certainly has this week. Yeah, it's been a

64
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: rough week. Have I said that? But the week comes

65
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: to an end at the full show and a lot

66
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: of good topics coming up. Excuse me, did you take

67
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: my cough switch here? I didn't there. That would get me,

68
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: that would set me off right away. I'm cough switching

69
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: sneak No. Mark Calso is joining us today at about

00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: I want to know. I want I hope Mark Rice

79
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: update for us on a couple of key players. Here's

80
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: the thing, I don't know if it's good or bad.

81
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: We're we have long you can you can imagine we

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: have long conversations about stuff that's going on with the

83
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: team and also mostly a lot about you know, the

84
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: team that the Bills happen to be playing this week,

85
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: it's obviously the Bears. Khalil Mack is, you know, maybe

86
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: the best defensive player in the league this year, along

87
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: with Aaron Donald maybe a couple others, but you know,

88
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: either their pass rushers almost virtually all the time, the

89
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: best defensive players in the league at this point in history.

90
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: Everybody talks about, you know, the JJ Wats, the Aaron Donalds,

91
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: and the Khalil Max of the world. You rarely hear

92
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: about guys like Micah Hyde and other safeties around. Eric Weddle,

93
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: other safeties. They're they're having good years, but it's all

94
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: about the pass rush these days. Khalil Mack may not

95
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: play in this game. Yeah, you didn't believe me the

96
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: other day. I told you, you know, but here's the thing.

97
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: He was limited, he'll be limited today and all the

98
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, all across Chicago they're calling for the Chicago

99
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: Bears and say, hey, what are you doing That guy

100
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: doesn't need to play against Buffalo. The headline in the

101
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: Chicago Tribute today that said, Khalil Max should not get

102
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: on the plane to Buffalo, right, everybody, because Buffalo has

103
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: turned into this kind of this. Well, not their defense,

104
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: their offense. The Bill's offense has turned into this thing, like,

105
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: you know what, it's a week off. Let's get Khalil

106
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: mc healthy. Let's have him sit down. Do they have

107
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: a bye week coming up or something? No, they had

108
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: a bye week two weeks ago, so that you know,

109
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna give him a chance to get ready for it.

110
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: They've got a stretch run coming here whatever. Uh, and

111
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna need him to rush the passer when we

112
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: play against really good offenses that three dimension games in

113
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: an eleven day span including Thanksgiving coming up. So that's

114
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: the that's the thing is. So the people in Chicago say,

115
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: there's no way we should risk his health or have

116
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: him re injure himself and lose him for that eleven

117
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: game stretch or eleven day stretch when they have Yeah,

118
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: so there's a chance he may not play, and he

119
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: has been hurt, there's no it's a legitimate injury. It's

120
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: not like he's you know, yeah, it's like it's not

121
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: a hangnail. It's been it's been pain. So there's that.

122
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: Then there's Alan Robinson, the wide receiver who is a

123
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: really good player for them, who has also been struggling.

124
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: I think his actually injury was actually worse than Khalil Max.

125
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: But both those guys are question marks, and you know,

126
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: people in Chicago were hooting about getting those guys healthy

127
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: before they start that eleven game stretch next weekend with uh,

128
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, the game on Sunday, the Thanksgiving game, and

129
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: then the game you know the week after. Interesting. We'll

130
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: see and we'll see Mark Jane Grecks to say about it.

131
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: He'll join us at one o'clock today. Coming up at

132
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 1: one twenty or so, Great co Sell, our usual Friday visitor,

133
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: with his take on the matchups, part of NFL Matchup

134
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: on ESPN with Great co Sell at one twenty and

135
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: coming up at two o'clock, Lorenzo Alexander joins us in

136
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 1: studio with the lowdown. Now, the Bills have injury issues

137
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: of their own. They are in practice as we speak,

138
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: right on the other side of those doors over there

139
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: inside the ad Pro Sports Training Center, getting set for

140
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: a outdoor game on Sunday. The early forecasts, like two

141
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: days ahead forecast for Sunday calls for kind of milder

142
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: temperatures in the forty eight to fifty degree range with

143
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: no rain on Sunday. But mister Tasker, what's your thought

144
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: on teams not practicing where they play? In other words,

145
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: should the Bills be outside at least today practicing for

146
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: this game? You practice wherever it's going to give you

147
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: the biggest benefit. And I think this team right now

148
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: they're going to benefit more from getting full speed, real

149
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: time reps, particularly offensively. They need to know what it's

150
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: going to look like when they run it the way

151
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: they need to run it, and then they adjust on

152
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: game day. I think that's one of the things. I

153
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: think the only time you really need to practice well

154
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: when you practice out. You need to practice. This stuff

155
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: about practicing in the wind and practicing the bad weather,

156
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: come on, you need to practice. You don't need to

157
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: go out and try and stay warm for two hours.

158
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: Maybe get used to the wind, get used to conditions.

159
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: For me, I thought when I was playing and when

160
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: we were going through this, I thought, listen, I live

161
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: in it. I know what to do. I don't have

162
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: to know what it's going to be like to play

163
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: in it. I know what it's like to live in it,

164
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: to be out in it, to go to the store

165
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: in it, to go to get gas in it, to

166
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: get groceries in it, to go back and forth between

167
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: your car and it, to go outside with the dogs,

168
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, you know, to watch the kids play out.

169
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: I know what it is to live. I don't need

170
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: to practice in it. It's not it's not something that

171
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: you know that you have to you know, think about

172
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: all the time. So for me, I always thought that

173
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: was overrated, getting knowing what it's like playing football in it.

174
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: Once you get an a system or a way or

175
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: a thing that you'd like to do to see you

176
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: can grip the ball or if you're not playing offense,

177
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, on d staying warm or getting layers on,

178
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. Once you can you get comfortable out there.

179
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: You adjust on the fly. You don't need to, you know,

180
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: you once you by practicing and living and you kind

181
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: of get to know what you Okay, I mean, I

182
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: don't think it's a big deal. I think it's more

183
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: important to practice hard and well like you're gonna try

184
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: and play than it is getting used to what's holding

185
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: you back. I can see in that respect, Okay, I

186
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: can see that. So we want to talk about the game,

187
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: the Bears game, and look, the Bills have a chance

188
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: to win. People, you know there are there's an element

189
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: of the audience is like, what are you kidding me?

190
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: This team? Yeah, this team, this Bills, team that won

191
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: two games or their first eight, that's lost three in

192
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: a row, that struggles to score points at averages eleven

193
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: points per game, have a chance to beat Chicago, I

194
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: believe for a couple of different reasons, including the injury

195
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: list for the Bears that we just talked about, including

196
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bears, um, they're not world beaters. Folks.

197
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, they have four wins the Bills. They have

198
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: two Chicago's wins Seattle twenty four to seventeen, Tampa Bay

199
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: they won Big forty eight to ten, the Jets last

200
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: week twenty four to ten, and Arizona sixteen to fourteen. Look,

201
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: the Bears are just kind of finding their way. I

202
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: think the last four weeks they're playing better, scoring some

203
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: more points, but they're they're not world beaters, and the

204
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Bills will have to play much better than they have played,

205
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna get much better offensive play than they have. I'm

206
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: just saying this is a game that is winnable for

207
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. One of five home games in the

208
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: last eight, and I'm really eager to see how this

209
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: plays out on Sunday. A lot of different things going on,

210
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: including the quarterback. Let's talk about that Nathan Peterman headed

211
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: towards the start. It would appear no practice today again

212
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: for Derek Anderson, no practice for Tremon Edmonds. At least

213
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: that was the plan that going in. Both of those

214
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: two still in concussion protocol. Will get the official injury

215
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: update in the Sunday Prediction coming up later this afternoon

216
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: at some point. But look, see they got a chance

217
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: in this game with the way they played defense, with

218
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: the addition of a wildcard on offense right Terrelle Pryor,

219
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: and with what we know about how Shady McCoy can

220
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: run the football, things could happen that would break Buffalose.

221
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Bit wait this week. I understand their underdogs, they deserve

222
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: to be underdogs, but things might break their way. I

223
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: think this is what keeps Bill's fans interest is the

224
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: fact that their defense really should give them a chance

225
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: every week. They're gonna get it. They're gonna get a

226
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: chance every week, and they see it. They saw it

227
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: last year, of course, and they've seen it at times

228
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: this year. We'll I've seen it most of the year

229
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: this year. The defense plays pretty well they've had when

230
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: they When the defense doesn't, man, it gets ugly quick,

231
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. But when that defense is on,

232
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: as you expect it would be in their home building,

233
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: they're tough to score on. Tom Brady found it tough

234
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: to score on them, and so will everybody else so

235
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: and particularly the Bears. They have played extremely well against

236
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: lesser quarterbacks and particularly lesser offenses. So I think this

237
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: defense is what the team that you got to count on.

238
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: This is what they're gonna lean on, and I think

239
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: you can count on. That's why Bill's fans feel like

240
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: there is a chance for them to do well in

241
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: this game. Terrell Pryor is an interesting story about, you know,

242
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: whether he's going to be able to where they're gonna

243
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: incorporate him, whether he's just gonna you know, whether he'll

244
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: even be active come out you know, right, I mean

245
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: you think right, you'd think so a team that starved

246
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: for weapons like the Bills are they If parale Prior

247
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: is on the roster, he's gotta play, He's gotta I

248
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: think he's got to play a lot. As a matter

249
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: of fact, and he sounds like he's ready to play

250
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: and eager to play. Maybe he wants to. Yeah, and

251
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,359
Speaker 1: plus you know he well you know, of course, it's

252
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of his own his own words. That's saying,

253
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I got everything gonna under my belt.

254
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: I can play the whole offense. I don't know about that,

255
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: but certainly, if you got a guy like that, you

256
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: want to come in and you're two and six on

257
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: the first half of the season, you want to get

258
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: him in the game. At home is a place to

259
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: do it. Uh, give him a couple of plays at least,

260
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: and you see. Uh. But then again, you and I

261
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: haven't been out of practice. They might be out of

262
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: practice going I don't know, I can't get you can't

263
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: get lined up yet, or or they might be out there,

264
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: or they might be out there going home. Check him out.

265
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: Let's go. He starts, and he starts, and he's gonna play.

266
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah. And I talked to some coaching

267
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: staff members who say, yeah, hell yeah, we're using them

268
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: because we them. I think that's the way it's gonna go.

269
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: But we'll see. I'm not saying they'll light the world

270
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: on fire, but boy, any weapons Nathan Peterman thrown to

271
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: him right, any weapon you can the offense is a

272
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: big weapon for this Bills team, which is which I struggle,

273
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: no question about that. We want to get you involved too,

274
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: and if the Bills went on Sunday, we want to

275
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: know which under the radar player would be the reason.

276
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: We put a couple of suggestions up on the Twitter pole.

277
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: Some of them are not met with much approval from

278
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: from the Twitter respondence yet, which is what you expect.

279
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: There should be a you know, there should be Steve

280
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: like you know, you can put different filters on social media,

281
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: a snark filter on Twitter so that anything that might

282
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: be judges particularly snarky, just gets filtered out. Wouldn't it

283
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: be great? Because you know, we put up the question

284
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: which under the radar player would be the reason. One

285
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: of the suggestions we put up is Nathan Peterman under

286
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: the radar because he's back in the starting lineup after

287
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: spending of the last several weeks on the bench. Oh,

288
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: how can the starting quarterback be under the radar? You

289
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: know that sort of thing. Well, that's why, that's why.

290
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: But if you don't like it, don't vote for him.

291
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: And if you don't like our Twitter poll, have your

292
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: own Twitter poll. Eighth three fifty in the number to

293
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: call toll three one eight eight eight five fifty two

294
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: five fifty. Simple question, if the Bills went on Sunday,

295
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: which under the radar player would be the reason? Nathan Peterman.

296
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent of you say he's the guy, Terrell Prior.

297
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: Twenty six percent of you say he would be the

298
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: under the radar player who can make a difference, six

299
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: percent say Shack Lawson, who's played pretty well on defense

300
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: and it looks like another week without Trent Murphy, and

301
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: fourteen percent have somebody else in mind. We already got

302
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: three hundred twenty nine votes on it so far. Give

303
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: us a call, let us know what you think. Eight

304
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty and toll free one eight eight

305
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. One of the things

306
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: about this that that gets lost and here's what always

307
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: has come out when you start throwing Nathan Peterman's name

308
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: out there is redemption. People want to see this guy

309
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: bounce back from the lowest of lows and from being

310
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: a you know, a fifth round draft pick to you know,

311
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: having a bad start and then you know, a horrific start,

312
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: kind of hanging around, kind of going back off the radar,

313
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: battling through an off season of where its like, you know,

314
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: they may as well get rid of him. No they didn't.

315
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: Then he comes back, gets an opportunity and makes the

316
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: most of it, arg his way back on the field,

317
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: has another big bad outing, you know. But then here's

318
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: the reason, and we're gonna play this sound from him

319
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. This is the reason. The way he handles himself,

320
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: and this is in my opinion, Murphy. Now, he has

321
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: played it well in practice. He has done a lot

322
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: of things that none of us ever see because it

323
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: happens off camera and in the practice room and in

324
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: the practice field, in the film room. But this guy

325
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: has something about him that makes people wish the best

326
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: for him. I am, I'm not sure. On Wednesday, he

327
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: had he met the media and he had this to

328
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: say about learning from the mistakes and how the roller

329
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: coaster earlier of his career has been. It's a while back, honestly,

330
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean, each one's got their own story and own

331
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: lessons from it. And I think that's the biggest thing

332
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: is I've taken a lot of those lessons, you know,

333
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I've learned from him and moving forward, you know. Um,

334
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: that's really the goal is to learn from him and

335
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: be better. You know, I'm still here, and uh, you

336
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: know every time you're here, every time you step on

337
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: this field, um, and you're in this building every week.

338
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always ready. So I was ready last

339
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: week and I'm gonna be ready again this week. Stuff

340
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: happens in life, you know, whether good or bad. Um,

341
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: And how you react to it really is is I

342
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: think what makes you who you are. And I think

343
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: that's that's what It's made me who I am, everything

344
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: I've been through in the past, and um, you know

345
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: that's that's who I am staying in front of you

346
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: today and uh, you know, trying to to go out

347
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: and then learn from those things and be better. How

348
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: cool would it be if Nate Peterman came out and

349
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: had a night like Nick Mullins had last night? Yeah,

350
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: I love you. Guys. Don't know who Nick. Anybody doesn't

351
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: know who Nick Mullins is. He played for the Forty Nights,

352
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: their third string quarterback they had, you know, Jimmy Garoppolo

353
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: went out. C J. Beethard went out, and so this guy,

354
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins pops in on a Thursday night game goes

355
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: sixteen for twenty two for two sixty two and three tds.

356
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be nice? Yeah? I mean, look, I don't know.

357
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: I disagree with your assertion that everybody wants to see

358
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: that happen. You know what, No, Steve, I think there's

359
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: an element and I hope it's a small element of

360
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you call him fan base of

361
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: people who want to be proven right and love the

362
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: fact that they've been able to poke holes at Nathan

363
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: Peterman for about a year now, it's almost a full

364
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: year since his first NFL start, and want to be

365
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: proven right that the guy can't play and shouldn't play,

366
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: and how can they start Peterman. We got tweets in

367
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: there today about that Nathan Peterman. Ha ha ha. I've

368
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: been saying that since Tuesday or Wednesday this week. It's

369
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: not a joke. He has had moments. He had a

370
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: good preseason this year eighty percent completion rate, three touchdowns,

371
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: one an interception. Yes, it's only preseason. He played pretty

372
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: well in a tough snowstorm situation against the Colts last November.

373
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: He's had big mistakes he's had big interceptions. Pick six

374
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: is going back against him. I know that I've seen

375
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: every snap he's taken in the NFL, and yet I

376
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: don't I want to see him do well want to

377
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: see redemption. Like you said, I want to see the

378
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: sun setting over Orchard Park and it'll be a little

379
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: bit earlier on Sunday, with the daylight saving time, ending

380
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: the sun setting over the rim of the stadium at

381
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: about five thirty on Sunday, with the Buffalo victory and

382
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: with Nathan Peterman getting that first NFL victory. And here's

383
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: the thing to keep in mind, And I've said it

384
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: since Wednesday on the show, talked about it with coach

385
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: McDermot today when I spoke with him. People don't know

386
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: who this guy is. This is his fourth NFL start.

387
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: You know what he needs to do. He needs to

388
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: play well. You know, he needs to finish a damn game.

389
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: He has yet to finish a game that he started

390
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: right bench twice and injured against the Colts finished And look,

391
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: you know, I needs to finish the game, not just

392
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: for himself because he's only got Matt Barkley behind him,

393
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: has been here two or three days. Yeah, Nathan Peterman

394
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: needs to start this game and finish this game and

395
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: play well. But he needs to finish the game by

396
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: playing well and being productive offensively. I don't think that's

397
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: out of the realm of the possible. Yeah, and I

398
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: know it's a lot of his snort. People are saying,

399
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: how can he possibly the red filter? The reason, the

400
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: reason he's out there, he got injured. We got injuries.

401
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: They were he was going to be the third string quarterback.

402
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the backup. But Josh Allen gets hurt,

403
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: and then uh, Derek Anderson gets hurt. So now he's

404
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: back in there. That's why. And he's in there just

405
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: for this reason. If you get down this deep, you

406
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: need somebody who knows what who knows the offense. I mean,

407
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: that's why he's here. That's why they didn't cut him

408
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: immediately after the Houston game, because they had nobody else

409
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: who knew the offense. And we're gonna bring a guy

410
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: in and all of a sudden have nobody on the

411
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: roster except uninjured Josh Allen. Nobody's laying around this offense

412
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: longer than Nathan they need for whatever he brings and whatever.

413
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: You know, horrible play he's had in the past, or

414
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: good play or the roller coaster that has been. They

415
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: need him on the team because he's the only guy

416
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: that knows the offense and that helps bringing guys in

417
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: who who need to learn the offense, like Matt Barkley,

418
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: like Derek Anderson, and like Josh Allen. He's there for

419
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: him as well. So that's why he's back in there,

420
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: and that's why he was still on the team even

421
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: after the horrible starts of the season he had in Baltimore.

422
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: UM and one of the other things you mentioned to

423
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: you know he does. He's thrown interception that's been the

424
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: hallmark of his career. You think about it, the interception,

425
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: even one at the end of the playoff game last year.

426
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: Most of it now, that one was in desperate times

427
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: the Bills had to find a way to get on

428
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: the field. Tyrod Taylor gets taken out of the game.

429
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: He comes in one play and they're trying to throw

430
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: the football all over the field at the same thing.

431
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: At the same time in Houston, they're trying to score

432
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: to get back into the lead late in a game.

433
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: Throws a pick six. Again, this is a team I

434
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: think that's going to be important in this Chicago game

435
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: for the defense to keep it close so he doesn't

436
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, so he can throw the ball twenty times

437
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: instead of thirty five times. Yeah, you know, that's that's

438
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: got to happen. And it does put a lot of

439
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: pressure on the defense, but this defense has proven that

440
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: they're going to be up to it. If the bill

441
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: should went on Sunday, which under the radar player, do

442
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: you think he'll have the biggest impact if us a call,

443
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: let's discuss eighth fifty toll free one eight eight five

444
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty, or you can do it on Twitter.

445
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: You can send in a tweet from the tweet sheet

446
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: Andrew North Charles Clay will have a big impact, He says,

447
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: he's been silent as of late, and I think it's

448
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: time to utilize him with cross route patterns. One thing

449
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: I would like to see Dabile Doo is used a

450
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: tight end package. Crewman Clay, we need to generate more

451
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: offensive plays. No three and outs. They need to stop well.

452
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: Three and outs have been a problem. First down in

453
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: the failure has been a big problem. They do use

454
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot of double ten end packages. I don't have

455
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: the numbers in front of me. But I know, even

456
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: let's past Monday, awful lot of snaps with Crewman Clay

457
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: and Logan Thomas even in there. So they do need

458
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: to do that, And I do think they'd love to

459
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: use Charles Clay more. They need him to be more

460
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: reliable catching the football, they need him to be open

461
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: more often. They need better play from Charles Clay as

462
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. So I see what you're saying, Andrew,

463
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: and I think you make good points. Yeah, he's right,

464
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: And there's a lot that's going to go into this game.

465
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: And like we said, we were talking earlier in the

466
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: conversation about you know, a lot of it depends on

467
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: who Chicago plays. I'm really interested to see if Cleio

468
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: Mac plays. I would bet against it based on think

469
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't practiced yet this week. It's limited today. Is

470
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: he practicing today? Limited? Limited? Are you sure that's what

471
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: I heard? All right? I just heard that, So I

472
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I'd be surprised. Maybe he will didn't not

473
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 1: play last week. And keep in mind last week they

474
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: waited right up until what an hour and a half

475
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: four kickoff last Sunday to pronounce him out of the game.

476
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. They are likely to

477
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,239
Speaker 1: be without wide receiver Alan Robinson on offense, they are

478
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: going to be without starting right guard Kyle Long, and

479
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: there are a couple of others who are question marks

480
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: for the Bears. They're not coming in healthy, and they're

481
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: not coming in like world beaters. As I said, they're okay.

482
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: They've won four, lost three, they've lost two of their

483
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: last three. They beat the Jets, okay, and hopefully the

484
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: Bills get a couple of wins against the Jets. I

485
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: think it's a winnable game. It's right there out there

486
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: for the Bills, even with the issues they have at quarterback.

487
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: And look, eleven points not going to do it. That's

488
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: what they average right on offense average scoring eleven points

489
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: a game. Certainly you don't be in anybody in this

490
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: league with eleven points a game. Yeah, they they've got

491
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: to score some touchdowns. I mean, you haven't getting called

492
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown in two games for the Bill. I mean,

493
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: it's getting it's getting bad. It's getting bad. I mean,

494
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: there's no question it's been epically bad. And for some reason,

495
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: one reason, you know, the offensive line hasn't played that

496
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: well and they've gotten there and the quarterbacks have gotten

497
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: nicked up, and they start keep starting a new guy,

498
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: a different or even if it's not a new guy,

499
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: as Peterman's back in, you know it's a different guy. Um,

500
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: you don't know how good your wide receivers could be

501
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: because they don't know who's gonna be throwing them the football,

502
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: and they haven't had time to throw the football. I

503
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: haven't had a guy go in there and get some

504
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: get some rhythm. Certainly Josh Allen was was throwing the

505
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: football pretty well. And it's interesting. We laughed, not laugh,

506
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: but you got to note the best throw that Josh

507
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: Allen made, probably in the first month, was the last

508
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: one he made that he got hurt on it. It

509
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: was a great throw down the seam in the Houston game,

510
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: and it was a completion. Stuff like that goes through

511
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: your mind when you're looking at trying to find, um,

512
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, the bright spots or you kind of go

513
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: back and backtracks to how the Bills got into this

514
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: predicament at quarterback, and it just it goes back to

515
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen entry. He'd still be in there had

516
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: he not gotten his elbow hurt. And then we would.

517
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be hearing about Nate Peterman. He wouldn't be

518
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: hearing about Derek Anderson. You wouldn't be hearing about Matt

519
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: Barkley coming in off the street. It's it's been a

520
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: rough it's been rough because of the injuries and anytime,

521
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: and I told you this yesterday, you name me a

522
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: team in the league, any team, well, maybe the forty

523
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: nine ers would constitute that. Getting down to your third

524
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: quarterback and having him play well. Nick Mullins did it

525
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: last night, but he's been there through the off season

526
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: and through the OTAs and training camp as well. Let's

527
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: take a phone call on this issue. If the Bills win,

528
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: which under the radar player might have the most to

529
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: do with it? This weekend, Let's take a call from

530
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Kevin and Hamburg. Hello, Kevin, go ahead, you're on the

531
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: air with us. Good. I think it's I can't wait

532
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: a pick up player. I think it's gonna be mostly

533
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: deepens anybody. But I'm not gonna pick up player because

534
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: I think it could be anyone. Could be a Shack

535
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: Wawson with a fumble recovery, could be heady Yarbrow hitting

536
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: the guy's arm in the bad time and throw an

537
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: interception not on the ground, meaning Trabisky. So I'm gonna

538
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: pick a whole deep bench at different people at different times. Okay, Yeah,

539
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: that's a good call. I mean, that's it's I think

540
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: that's the thing you can kind of depend on with

541
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: this team. Maybe the thing is the defensive side of

542
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: the football. They're playing really well. They haven't gotten they

543
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: haven't turned out the turnovers like they did in the

544
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: first half of last season. But if you're right though,

545
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: at any moment, Kevin, that could always happen. Thanks for

546
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 1: your calling. We'll take another call here. We'll go to

547
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: Joe calling from Albi and Hello Joe, welcome, go ahead,

548
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey, um, I would just like

549
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: to say, if they do win, the players have to

550
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: be on the radar. Will probably have to be Peterman.

551
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: He's got to play a good game. He's got to

552
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: protect the football, make right decisions. And alternately, that's why

553
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: we're now winning games because office is not scoring. But

554
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: Peterman will definitely have to stand out and make better

555
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: decisions and protect the football. If he does that, that's

556
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: how we'll win. If he don't and the offensive line

557
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: is not holding up for him. It's going to be

558
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: a long game. Okay, Yeah, and yeah, somebody, if somebody

559
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: had called up and said under the radar group offensive

560
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: line might have a lot to do with the Bills victory,

561
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: I'd have a hard time to disagree with that, Steve.

562
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: Offensive line needs to play much better, both in the

563
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 1: run game and the pass game. And look, Lashaw McCoy

564
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: is never going to be under the radar, but with

565
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: a good performance, a decent performance on the offensive line,

566
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy has chance to be the kind of difference

567
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: maker that the Bills expected him to be all season

568
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: halfway through the years got during a fifty seven yards

569
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, that the problem with with the offense

570
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: has been and obviously like a points score, but they

571
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: have not found anything that they do really well, consistently well,

572
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: and that's that's got to you know, start with the

573
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: offensive line up front and pass protection. It's got to start.

574
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: And you got it. You can say what you want

575
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: about the rotating, the revolving door quarterback that they've had,

576
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: and of course that offensive line also affects the running

577
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: game and the running backs and their ability to get

578
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: open and the receivers probably in part because of the

579
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks that have been in there, and probably in

580
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: part because of their own play, and probably in part

581
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: because of the lack of the offensive line in their

582
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: ability to protect him the quarterback to throw the football.

583
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: But you would think also that in some of these

584
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: games where you know, the Bills have been losing by

585
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: big margins, you gotta throw that football, and you gotta

586
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: throw it a lot. And they even haven't been able

587
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: to be a productive in doing that either. And that's

588
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: that's that's the concerning thing for me. There's just not

589
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: that much that they have done really well, at least

590
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, and you like it, and they've

591
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: done in flashes. They've had ups and downs, but the

592
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: ups have not been nearly frequent enough. Yep. If the

593
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: Bills win Sunday against the Bears, which under the radar

594
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: player will be the reason for that victory, will take

595
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,000

00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. Practice has concluded here on Archerd Park for

611
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: the day. They practice indoors today, not on the new

612
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: airfield Bill surface, but they're getting set. They'll come back

613
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: for the walk through tomorrow. Then the line up and

614
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: play six days after their last game. The Bills in

615
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears joining us on the subway fresh tack

616
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: out line. The guy who's got this game wired he

617
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: does every week. You just got a Hall of Fame boat.

618
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Where did that come? Frow? Did that happen? Somebody hit

619
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: a button? Roll? Did you say something I didn't say?

620
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: Anything about the Hall. Somebody said something in the control

621
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: room and they got counted it. I think there's Russian

622
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: interference in the Hall of Fame, deling perceived. I think

623
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to have a recount. Some hanging chads

624
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: left over joining us on the subway. Fresh take Kutline,

625
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: the guy who's wired into this game. He always is.

626
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: He's the color analyst on the Bills Radio Network. Former

627
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: Bills safety Mark Kelso. Hello, Mark, me and sever here

628
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: ready to talk to you. How you didn't vote for

629
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: Stephen a Hall of Fame just a minute ago? Did you? Oh?

630
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 1: I would vote for him, but I did not. Oh,

631
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: there it is, he says he would. That does not count.

632
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: Go ahead, here's the question for you, Mark. Before we

633
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: get to the Bills of the Bears. It was quite

634
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: a weekend last weekend with the Thurman Thomas celebration, and

635
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: not just Thurman, but all of your other former teammates

636
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: who were here. That was a complete and diverse a

637
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: crowd of former Bills that I think I've ever seen. Yeah,

638
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: some some teammates that we haven't seen. I haven't seen

639
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: in probably fifteen or seventeen years at least, And maybe

640
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: twenty and it was great to have everybody back in town.

641
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: I thought the celebration and all the events around the

642
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: celebration were classy and well done by by personnel that

643
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: put it together. And and I thought the halftime ceremony

644
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: was outstanding as well. Thurman spoke beautifully and and uh,

645
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think he kind of later don the

646
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: lapse of the fans and said, here it is. It

647
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 1: belongs to all of us, not just me, and uh

648
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: and did the same for his family. So I thought

649
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: it was really well done and certainly a well deserved

650
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: honor for Thurman and inviting the fans in because they

651
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: were such a big part of his career as well.

652
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: I think that was appropriately done and well done. Yeah,

653
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: I agree, And I want to get your take, maybe

654
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: just to put it one last thing, uh, to bed

655
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: on the On the game against the Patriots, I thought

656
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense played really well. I guess the team

657
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: that was scoring thirty nine points a game and they

658
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: held him down to what less twenty um if you

659
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: take away the offensive touchdown the Bills gave up. It

660
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: was really a good showing by the defense. What do

661
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: you see in the Bill's defense on those weekends when

662
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: they do show up like they did against New England,

663
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: and the weekends where they show up like they did

664
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: against uh, you know, the Indianapolis. Yeah, harder to assess live,

665
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: of course, because I don't really watch any Bills film

666
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: and during the week and look at the post game.

667
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: But but there's some things that they have become definitely

668
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: characteristics of a good defensive performance, and part of that

669
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: is as a pass rush, and they've had guys when

670
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: they disrupt the timing of the opposing quarterback and they

671
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: find a way to create pressure, whether it's some twist stunts,

672
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: which I think they ran a bunch of the other

673
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: night Monday night, and then they get a little bit

674
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: more aggressive on the back end when those linebackers and

675
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: obviously both of them Young and Germaine came up at

676
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: the injury meet or came up with the injury on

677
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: Sunday Monday night. I guess it was the Matt Milano played.

678
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's been playing really well. I

679
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: think there's some games when there's a couple of confusing

680
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: things that happened, particularly in Indianapolis, where there are a

681
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: couple running backs left uncovered, and it's hard to know

682
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: whose responsibility that was. You don't know if it's a linebacker,

683
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: but if it's a man coverage typically it is. But

684
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: last week and Milana was unbelievable the way they covered

685
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: those backs coming out of the backfield. And then Julian

686
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: Stanford even did a really nice job in place of

687
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: Emmons when when he had to leave because of the injury.

688
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: But just a few plays here and there, and that's

689
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: that's what the Patriots are all about. I mean, they

690
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: have guys across the board that can beat you and

691
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: make plays, and they just keep playing and when they

692
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: get down in there, they just try to convert. If

693
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: they can't convert touchdown, they give themselves a field goal,

694
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: and they keep making you drive the entire way down

695
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: the field. And then you see what happens with the

696
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: mcquardy interception. But it was a great showing and a

697
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: great crowd and great evidence of what did those defense

698
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: can do when when they're in sync and what the

699
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: offense And then I don't think the offense played real poorly.

700
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a really good defensive unit the

701
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: Patriots have. But they just have to have some some

702
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: more dynamic place and from some of their playmakers and

703
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: a little bit better patient rhythm to the offense. Let's

704
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: talk about the playmakers on the Bears offense, mark and

705
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: one in particular that I find intriguing Tarik Cohens, second

706
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: year running back, who does a little bit everything pass, receiving, running,

707
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: and maybe one of the most dynamic offensive performers they

708
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: have there. What do you think of him? Yeah, Yeah,

709
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: he's the lynchpin in a lot of respects because they

710
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: run a ton of h Reid. He'll come out of

711
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: the backfield, he'll pick up blitzers, and he's the guy

712
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: that can get to the edge on the inside. If

713
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball inside and they're gonna run

714
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: that inside zone, they're gonna do it with Howard, who's

715
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of power, but more of a one

716
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: step guy and drop his shoulder guy. Cohen's an elusive

717
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: guy and a guy that's a big part of the

718
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: game plan. There's no question about that. Executes the screen game,

719
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: had a big touchdown against the Jets in that game,

720
00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: and is used extensively out of the backfield in the

721
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: passing game. And I mean, if he's in the game,

722
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: you're really I think you have to think passed first

723
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: or screen game, And if it's Howard that's in the game,

724
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: then then you might think it's a run first situation.

725
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,959
Speaker 1: But they're going to find a way to get him

726
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, There's no question about that. And

727
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: Trubisky has been I think Trubisky's a really, really good athlete.

728
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: He's got great athleticism. You know. The only thing that

729
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: part of his game that I think needs to continue

730
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: to mature is when he scrambles. Sometimes it doesn't seem

731
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: like he keeps his eyes downfield and takes advantage of

732
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: some opportunities that may exist when he's still behind the

733
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: line of scrimmons. But he's got dynamic athleticism and he

734
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: runs away from people and he's got a really strong arm.

735
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: So they've got guys spread the width of the field

736
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: from sideline the sideline because he can he can really

737
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: throw it and fit it in there. Even when he's

738
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: on that far ash, he can he can make that

739
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: throw to the outside of that deep out. Against the Jets, anyway,

740
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: they ran more, you know, Mitchell Drubisky more. Quarterback shouldn't

741
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: readoption stuff that I've seen any team doing several years

742
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: do you think that's part of their total offensive package

743
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: that they like to do that. I think, huh, they do, Yeah,

744
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: they do it a lot. And you're you're right. It's

745
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: it's one team in the league that still continues to

746
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: run that play, and probably because some things he did

747
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: at the UNC and and because he's got athleticism, he's

748
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: got some great speed and as long as they I mean,

749
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: you have to manage that play so well. It's really

750
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: important to have the play in your playbook. And a

751
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: couple of times he can run it, he's running, you know,

752
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: in a pretty good clip and he's running I mean,

753
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: how many times. I think he's run almost forty times

754
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: this year so far. And I think, but but again,

755
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: you've got to use it sparingly because I mean, it's

756
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: it's no, it's a well documented fact that I'm saying

757
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: that that's not a play the quarterbacks are going to

758
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: live by because they're going to get lit up a

759
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: few times and it's going to cause problems. But when

760
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: you can hold that defensive end and if he crashes

761
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: down inside, which becomes a really good way to handle

762
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: that inside zone play, and now the quarterback has the

763
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to pull it out and protect himself and scoot

764
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: down the sideline, particularly if you're playing a defense that's

765
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: in man coverage quite a bit. And then you run

766
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: those receivers off, you open up the outside for that

767
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: quarterback that's got some speed and Turbisky has that, so

768
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: they will. That is a big component of their game,

769
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. And you'll have to be

770
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: disciplined on the outside to make sure you stay on

771
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: that outside hit with the quarterback and force that running

772
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: back inside, forcing the hand it off. Yeah, when we

773
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: were talking about the running back, you said you talked

774
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: about Tarik Cohen, but really their engine of that thing

775
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: is Jordan Howard. I mean, that's the guy that's getting

776
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: most of the touches. TERC. Cohen had like five carries

777
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: last week against the Jets. He had one carry, another

778
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: we had one reception last week. But Jordan, I mean,

779
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: this is the guy. I had twenty two carries against

780
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: the Jets for eighty one yards. I mean, this is

781
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: the guy that they really hand it to a lot.

782
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: And you know that Chicago Bears still they run, they

783
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: run kinda and people are accusing them of running the

784
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: same site sort of offense. That the Philadelphia Eagles run,

785
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: perhaps not with us much success, but they're going to

786
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: lean on Howard a lot I think in this game,

787
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: do you not, Yeah, well, I think they're going to

788
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: try to run the ball off inside with him and

789
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: and then they have a nice little play action pass game.

790
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think it's it's a pretty good mix.

791
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the number of touches,

792
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's had probably, like he said, over one

793
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: hundred touches I know that, and just a few in

794
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: the passing game, maybe in the screen game or leaking

795
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: out after he check splits pick up and that kind

796
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: of stuff. But but but if you look at if

797
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: you look at Cohen, he's not too far behind us.

798
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: You count all the receptions he's had and all the

799
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: targets he's had. But but it's a different game. And

800
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: that's why they compliment each other so well. Because you

801
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: have guys inside that you think you can handle, Howard

802
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: who's got a lot of strength and kind of a

803
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: kind of one step acceleration, one step cut guy and

804
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: you'll drop his shoulder on you. And then you have

805
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: Cohen that you got to be really careful, you don't

806
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: miss them in the open field. So they compliment each

807
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: other really nicely, and I think they I think they

808
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: want to balance the tack. I think they want to

809
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: balance the check for their young quarterback and they want

810
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball successfully and if

811
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: they can achieve that and it opens up that play

812
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: action pass game. And Burton has been has been great

813
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: from the tight end position as well, and he's got

814
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: a lot of balls from Trubisky this year also, and

815
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: that just kind of lends itself to that strategy of

816
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: of he's big in the red area and lends itself

817
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: to that play action pass strategy. Mark last question, what

818
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: can the Bills expect to get out of Nathan Peterman?

819
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: What should they hope for? Well, you know what, he's

820
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 1: he's obviously got a lot of maturity, and they've got

821
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: to we talked about this before. They've got to do

822
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: some things that give him an opportunity to throw the

823
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: ball early in the down and so that he doesn't

824
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: have to stand back there and make decisions. I think

825
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: he's got good accuracy. His arm strength certainly not what

826
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: Josh Allens is and probably what Derek Anderson's arm strength is,

827
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: but I think there's some things that they can do

828
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: against this team. I think that if they can get

829
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: the running game going, which I think there's some opportunities,

830
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: particularly if you put them in the forty defense, they'll

831
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: play forty with four guys on the line of screens end,

832
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: they'll play a fifty. But you can dictate a little

833
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: bit to them based on what personnel you have in

834
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: the game, and if they put the right personnel in

835
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: the game, get them to the forty defense, I think

836
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: they can have some success in a running game. Tough

837
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: to run on them in a fifty, and it'll be

838
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens in the passing game. I mean,

839
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be play action pass. It's gonna

840
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be on the on the short side,

841
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: I think of the field and stay out of the

842
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: middle of the field a little bit, because it seems

843
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: like he has a little bit more difficulty inside when

844
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,959
Speaker 1: he's trying to throw those middle cloud crossers or there's

845
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: or there's different levels inside that he has a little

846
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: bit of trouble there, and you've got to pay a

847
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: particular attention. And I don't know have they said if

848
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: Khalil's going to play. Nevin said, he's limited. Yeah, and

849
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: he's you know, it's it's interesting. He's he obviously can

850
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: take over a game from a pass rush situation. So

851
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: you've got to be cognizant of that at all times.

852
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: And you run the screen game, and you run some

853
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: short throws, and you run some bubble screen and some

854
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: zip screen and some step back screen. Just get the

855
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: ball in the hands of the playmakers and let them

856
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: go and don't expect Nathan Peterman to have to throw

857
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: the ball down field as much except when the running

858
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: games is successful and you have an opportunity for a

859
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: big window because of the play action pass situation. But

860
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: there's some there's some holes in this in this team,

861
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: the Chicago team with that question, and hopefully the Bills

862
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: can take advantage of it. Hopefully they can put pressure

863
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: on Traubisky. But but they may have to spy him too,

864
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: because if you let him out of the pocket, you're

865
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: gonna hurt you with a big play and he'll run

866
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: away from guys in the open field. There's there's there's

867
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: no mistake in that as well. So they'll have an

868
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: opportunity this week and if they play as well as

869
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: they played on Monday night. I think they have a

870
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: real good opportunity to win. You said that, and you

871
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: mentioned that it would be better for the Bills in

872
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: their running game to get the Bears into a forty defense.

873
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: What kind of offensive personnel or formations do they run

874
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: their forty defense against time, I'm thinking they just like

875
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: you guys with the K gun. So you got your

876
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: eleven personnel and you gotta have you got to have

877
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: three wide receivers in a single running back night. I

878
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: do like when the markos in the games sometimes, but

879
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: that's going to be in a second and short or

880
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: third and short situation. But you get yourself in that

881
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: package with the tight end and three wide receivers and

882
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: a running back, and now there's some opportunities because when

883
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: you get in a cluster formation, they play a lot

884
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: of man defense and they play a lot of Cover three.

885
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: So you get yourself in a man situation and you

886
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 1: line up in a cluster with whether it's a tight

887
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: end and two receivers or three receivers, and it packs

888
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: them off a little bit. It gives you a little

889
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: bit of space early in and down. So that does

890
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: a couple of things. If you're going to run a

891
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: flood pattern. It gives Nathan Peterman an early opportunity to

892
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: find an open receiver. And if you're going to run

893
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: the football and the receivers or become willing blockers, and

894
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: then you have an opportunity to run the ball to

895
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: that side of the field as well, where that cluster

896
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: formation is, and then then you motion into it. And

897
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: then so it's the same play. You might run the

898
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: same play, but it might let's do it out of

899
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: two or three different initial looks, but then you motion

900
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: to it and get to the same look eventually, and

901
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: then you execute the same play and create some consistency

902
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: and guys understand who they need to block and where

903
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: the problems existing and how they can be most efficient

904
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: in trying to execute that play. Mark, I think it's

905
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a good game. I'm looking forward to it,

906
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: looking forward to working with you on Sunday as well. Yeah,

907
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: with that question, it's always good to work on my

908
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: end with the best. I wasn't. I'm not saying I'm

909
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: the best. Oh, I would say you're the best. I'm

910
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: saying you're the best. I just don't know where to

911
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: put Steve in this hierarchy. I'm just interested. Look, I'm

912
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: just an interested onlooker. I'm just a yeah, I'm just

913
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: along for the ride. Thanks Mark, Yes, sir, Yeah, good day, gentlemen.

914
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mark Kelso, color analysts on the Bills Radio

915
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: netwhere we got the call of the game, the Bills

916
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: and the Bears Sunday one o'clock kick off on our

917
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: flagship in Buffalo, w g R Sports Radio five fifties.

918
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: Steve and I'm back with more one Bills Live from

919
00:41:43,920 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio. Back to the show,

920
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: Stephen Murph. We're just getting back into our chairs because

921
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: we were having a really an involved conversation in the

922
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: break about how invested we all are in well, in general,

923
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: it was sports, but it was the Sabers and Bills

924
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: out there too. Murph leaves a singer before he runs

925
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: back in here to the studio. We have a good

926
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: work environment. I will say that we do. We for

927
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: the most part along here, okay, right here, okay, I mean,

928
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, you and I get along to a certain extent.

929
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of like we've known each other

930
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: for three decades. And you and the kids in the back,

931
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, who put up with the old men, you

932
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: and me. That's true. It's a nice environment, it is.

933
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: But we almost got caught being having too much fun

934
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: with the conversations we have between the show, as we

935
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: do when we have it on Kelso once again, I'm

936
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 1: gonna have to give him some trouble. He sometimes comes

937
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: on and gets a little too technical for me. I see,

938
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: I see you taking a big breath through your nose

939
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 1: like go on. Yes he does, because you know that's

940
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: he is on it. Man, I gotta tip my hat

941
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: to him. But one of the things you do for

942
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: me is a broadcaster. You know, we'll have a tweet,

943
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: we'll have a Twitter poll like this on the offseason

944
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: about what you want out of your broadcaster and a

945
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: lot of the guy. And it's really trending toward because

946
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: the football is so fought, so followed, and so fraught

947
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: with attention. You know, the NFL is like the eight

948
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: hundred pound gorilla. Even soccer moms know what's going on. Right.

949
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: So it used to be they used to call us

950
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: the guys who did my job in the booth. They

951
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: used to cause the color commentators, not the play by

952
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: play announcer, but the color commentators. We would add spice

953
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: to it. Now we're called analysts, which is kind of

954
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: a you know, an evolution of where they want those

955
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: guys to go. And it's interesting to see how different

956
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: guys do it. Kelso is man, he is exes and

957
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: o's and details me it was. I know there's a

958
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of people, yeah, kind of you know, I'm kind

959
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: of a I'm more of listen. I'm more of a

960
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: of a you know, listen, you're I'm I've played it,

961
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: I've been there. I talk to these guys. Here's what

962
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: here's what all that tells me about this game. This

963
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, the stuff they get into about the exs

964
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: and nose and about the cover twos, cover threes and

965
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: then and the counter tray and them, you know, and

966
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: the slants and the cluster formations. I don't know if

967
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, I don't know how

968
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: many people like it. I mean a lot of most

969
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: people must, I guess a lot of people do. It's

970
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: not fun for me to broadcast like that. Well, you

971
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do. You do, and that's

972
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: what I you know, the first piece of advice I

973
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 1: ever got about being on the air first, you gotta

974
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: be you, yeah, and then the rest of it follows

975
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: along after that. So I'm still me and good or bad.

976
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: But it's interesting because every guy, you know, watch every

977
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: we all watch all these games, and every single game

978
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: has a different commentator, and you know, you always have

979
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: this opinion about him. What it's like, Yeah, okay, I

980
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: get that or not. I don't think too much about him. Actually,

981
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: don't bother me? Yeah? Is that the is that the

982
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: litmus test? Don't bother me when I'm watching, right, Yeah?

983
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,959
Speaker 1: And I am like, I try to be the least

984
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: bothersome guy out there, and I try to have fun

985
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: and be friendly and you know, get him engaged and

986
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: point out some interesting things about it, maybe some technical

987
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: stuff if it if it's you know, if it's right

988
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: to the forefront. But for the most part, I think

989
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: people just want to watch and enjoy the game and

990
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: make sure they know who's got the ball, who's carrying it,

991
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: and that's the play by play guy. And I do

992
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: think this two things. People will watch a game that

993
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: they care about, regardless of who the broadcasters are. They

994
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: know that's right. Number two. And I got into this

995
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago or a week ago when the World

996
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: Series was on. There are announcers in sports who can

997
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: enhance the experience, and you know they're rare, though not

998
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: many in baseball. When Joe Buck and John Smaltz are

999
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: doing the World Series or a playoff game, that's the

1000
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: best broadcast there is. I told Joe Buck they had

1001
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago to the Super Bowl. He

1002
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: kind of nodded and said, thank you, But I met it.

1003
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: I met it. They there are a couple of guys.

1004
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: Smaltz is one of them, and Buck's pretty darn good too,

1005
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: who enhanced what you're seeing. And that's so I think

1006
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: what the good ones try to do. So I thought

1007
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: Tony Romo started that way, and now I think he

1008
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: sort of settled back into the pack. And you can't

1009
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: say anything because he's your CBS. I like him. He

1010
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: splashed a little bit. I don't like the way he

1011
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: came in and he was himself and he had and

1012
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: I like that about it. He has it seems like

1013
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: he enjoys it, and that's a huge thing. He was

1014
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: predicting plays for the first two months he was doing

1015
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: games and CBS he was saying, they're gonna do this

1016
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: and they did it. Yeah, that was impressive. It is

1017
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: it is and it's uh, it's hard to do, yeah,

1018
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: And I think the further you get away from it,

1019
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: the harder it gets to do it. Because he was

1020
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: fresh out, you know, maybe that maybe that had a difference.

1021
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: Maybe that made a difference. Yeah, that's something else. I

1022
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: was going to add to that, and I can't remember

1023
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: what it was though that No, it was about broadcasters

1024
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: and uh, and how they know either add to or

1025
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: enhance or detract. And I think that, uh, you don't

1026
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: want to be the guy. Although you remember way back

1027
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: when it started, when Howard Cosell on the Money Night

1028
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: Football Crew, that's really when an announcers started to become

1029
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: more than just the voices. They were personalities, Howard Cosell,

1030
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: Frank Gifford and Don Meredith and what a great show

1031
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: that was. And Howard Cosell was the most loved sportscaster

1032
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: in America and he was the most hated at the

1033
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: same time, which you know, nobody can do that anymo.

1034
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: It was hard to do that now, but I don't know.

1035
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: I always Kelso comes on every week. I love talking

1036
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: to him, and he is who he is. That's how

1037
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: he plays. For me to listen, to listen to it, well,

1038
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. Do you a lot of people

1039
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: and for me, I don't want to. I don't want

1040
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: to work. I don't want to tune into the game

1041
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: and have to concentrate. I mean you to listen to

1042
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth, and it's like a college class. It's a

1043
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: college level class when he starts talking, you know, when

1044
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: he gets into it, and he has a real gift

1045
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: for using the tellustrator really well as well. Troy Aikman's

1046
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: pretty good too. But some of them, and I used

1047
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: to tell Phil this, Phil Sims this. You know, those

1048
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: guys don't look or sound like they're having any fun. Right,

1049
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: It's a grind for it sounds like a grind, and

1050
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm grinding when I'm watching then watching

1051
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: like Phil, certainly Chris Collinsworth, I'm like one, you know,

1052
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: I almost have to take a deep breath, like Okay,

1053
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to because you gotta follow him. And it's man,

1054
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: you gotta work at it. You gotta work at it.

1055
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,720

00:48:45,320 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio Bills Radio

1066
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: Network Sports Update. Got the update from One Bill's Driver.

1067
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills have wrapped up there Friday practice, getting

1068
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: set to host the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon at

1069
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: one o'clock. Bills did not have quarterback Derek Anderson at practice,

1070
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: so his status for Sunday is very unlikely right now.

1071
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: That means that Nathan Peterman is likely to be the

1072
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: starter against the Bears. No update on the injury report

1073
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: yet from the Buffalo Bills. Limited at least at best. Rather,

1074
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: we should say for a linebacker Tremaine Edmonds today and

1075
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: he also is in danger of not playing against the Bears.

1076
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 1: Bears have injury issues of their own. Outside linebacker Khalil

1077
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: Mack wide receiver Alan Robinson. Both set out for practice

1078
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: a second straight day yesterday. Both are likely to be

1079
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: listed as limited for today's practice. Mac inactive for the

1080
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 1: first time in his seventy one career games last Sunday

1081
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: with his right ankle injury. It's unclear as to whether

1082
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: he'll be playing against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The

1083
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: Bears and Bill's injury reports probably an hour or two away.

1084
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 1: Bill's GM Brandon being as publicly committed to keeping running

1085
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: back Lashawn McCoy on the roster season, he told the

1086
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo News that Shady is definitely in the team's plans

1087
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: for next season, the final year of a contract extension

1088
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: he signed after he was acquired in a trade with Philadelphia.

1089
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: He made his Monday Night Football NFL debut on the

1090
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: national stage, or his Thursday Night NFL debut on the

1091
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: national stage. Last night. Undrafted quarterback Nick Mullins was outstanding

1092
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes to lead to San Francisco forty nine

1093
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: ers through a thirty forty three win over the Open

1094
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 1: Raiders in the first game of Week nine in the NFL.

1095
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: At halftime of that game, Terrell Owens came back to

1096
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: his roots to get his Hall of Fame ring. He

1097
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 1: was presented with a ring during his ceremony at halftime

1098
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: in Santa Clara, California. He spent his first eight seasons

1099
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: with the forty nine Ers, establishing himself as one of

1100
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 1: the best players in the NFL. Longtime sports celestrated NFL

1101
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: writer Paul Zimmerman, known as Doctor Z, passed away yesterday.

1102
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: He was eighty six years old. And the Buffalo Sabers

1103
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: last night lost to the Ottawa Senators four to two

1104
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 1: in Ottawa. They come home to meet tomorrow two o'clock

1105
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: at KEYMANK Center. Sabers will celebrate Jason Palmonville's one thousand

1106
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: NHL career game tomorrow afternoon. He played it last night.

1107
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: Nancy Update from One Bill's Drive, John Murphy Steve Tasker

1108
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 1: in our one Buffalo studio as the Bills get set

1109
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: to play the Bears. Let's get a line on the

1110
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: Bears from a long time sports expert in Chicago. He's

1111
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: a Buffalo native sports director at ABC seven in Chicago.

1112
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: ESPN radio contributor and a three time Emmy Award winner.

1113
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: Happy to have a Buffalo native, Mark jan Greco on

1114
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: the line with us, Marcus, John Murphy and Steve Tasker

1115
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Thanks for joining us, Hey Murf, Steve. Great

1116
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: to be on with you guys again. I actually thought

1117
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: about sneaking into Buffalo to see this thing, but I

1118
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: thought better. I think I'll just go to Delilah's, which

1119
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: is your best bills bar in Chicago, so I can

1120
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: leave at halftime. Yeah you are. I know you've been

1121
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: in Chicago for a while. You grew up here, right,

1122
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: Kenisius High School here in Buffalo, Mark, And where'd you

1123
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: go to college? Dayton? Do I want to tell one?

1124
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: All right? I went to the great University of Dayton.

1125
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm a flier. John Crutin is a state in Olama,

1126
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: though I shouldn't bring his name up at this point,

1127
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: all right, gas by Jas We lit up in Williamsville.

1128
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: My best buddy from high school, Phil Perners out there

1129
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: in Clarence. My brother Tom's Snyder. Of course, the downings

1130
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: you're doing, Orchard Park, my cousins. So yeah, I missed

1131
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: the town. And you know, as I've said, many times,

1132
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: Chicago's just a giant buffalo. So it's pretty cool. Yeah,

1133
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: Talk talk a little bit about Chicago's football team they

1134
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: seem to have with under new head coach Mattenege. Talk

1135
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: a little bit about the vibe that comes out of

1136
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: his coaching staff, his message to the media, and what

1137
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: his team looks like. Well, he's a godsend for the media,

1138
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: the fans, and of course the players. A young, energetic,

1139
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: upbeat guy, very creative. Of course, quarterback guru. Uh you know,

1140
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: learned his craft under Andy Reid, probably the best quarterback

1141
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: coach there's ever been, and so it's really refreshing. The

1142
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: players have really bought into it. Of course, his focus

1143
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: is Mitched Trubisky and everybody wants this guy to succeeds

1144
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: so badly, big, strong, athletic. He's still got issues though.

1145
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: His footwork isn't right and you know it drops his

1146
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: arm and you know he likes to roll out and

1147
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: throw off on one foot. He you know, he needs

1148
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: to get it together. And of course we're nitpicking here

1149
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: because the Bears are doing pretty well, but he's got

1150
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do with Mitch. The offensive

1151
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: line lost Kyle Long, they're great all pro right guard.

1152
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: The guy's always getting banged up, but they're going to

1153
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: be fine. And I think, you know, they're aware of

1154
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: the fact that Bills actually have a pretty good defense,

1155
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: so they're not going to take him lightly. Let's ask

1156
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: you about Tramisky for a second, if I can. Mark,

1157
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: you said that you know he needs to improve his footwork,

1158
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: second leading rusher among NFL quarterbacks, and I know that's

1159
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: not all footwork, but he certainly can run the football.

1160
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: And they're not afraid to put the ball in his

1161
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: hands and let him run with it, aren't they. Oh right?

1162
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, talk about he's not really adapted

1163
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: as going through his progressions and things like that, so

1164
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: he'll take off early. And like I say, he's big

1165
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: and strong. He's getting huge chunks of the artage when

1166
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: he runs, so obviously the Bill's defense has to be

1167
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: aware of that. It's just about you know, checking down

1168
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: and finding his receivers, and you know, accuracy has been

1169
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: an issue for him. We're talking with sports director ABC

1170
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: Channels in Chicago, markg and Greco. Buffalo Nate have also

1171
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: a three time Emmy Award winner. Talk. I'd like to

1172
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: ask you Mark a little bit about the defense here

1173
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, we kind of get a sense of what

1174
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: we're viewed at the Buffalo Bills are viewed as around

1175
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: the country. Is there a sentiment in Chicago about maybe

1176
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: holding a guy like Khalil Mack out of the lineup

1177
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: or maybe Alan Robinson out of the lineup because this

1178
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo team doesn't seem to be able to score enough

1179
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: points to make those guys necessary. Oh. Absolutely, I mean,

1180
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Vic Fangio admitted yesterday they should have held

1181
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: them out the Patriots and the Dolphins game. There's no

1182
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: need to play Robinson who's got a groin, or Mac

1183
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: who's got the ankle, against the Bills. That would be

1184
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: very foolish. They have three divisional matchups coming up right

1185
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: out of this game. They've got Detroit, Minnesota, Detroit, so

1186
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: you know this should be a gimme game. But again,

1187
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: the front page of the Tribune today says warning, warning,

1188
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, citing the Bills upset over the Vikings. And

1189
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: that's what Naggi has to hang his hat on and

1190
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: keep pounding into his players. I mean, it's kind of weird.

1191
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,439
Speaker 1: Since Mac went down, the defense here has been kind

1192
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: of funky. They've been out of sink, and they were

1193
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: already good before they made the trade for Khalil. And

1194
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 1: of course all my buddies back in Buffalo and continue

1195
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: to complain about we could add Mac, how do you be?

1196
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: And why do we take savvy Watkins? But we're always

1197
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: going to argue about that kind of stuff. There's no

1198
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: reason for Mac to play. I don't think he or

1199
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: Robinson will be out there at all. You know, last

1200
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: week they went right down to an hour and a

1201
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: half before kickoff before ruling Mac out of the Jets game.

1202
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that'll be the scenario again this week? Mark,

1203
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't think so. He didn't practice yesterday or Wednesday,

1204
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: so I think the decision will probably be made today

1205
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: or tomorrow. You know, the thing is, it's tough to

1206
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: get motivated for a game like this, but the Bears

1207
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: are so young. I don't think that would be too

1208
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 1: much of a problem. And you know, with with Peterman

1209
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: in there once again going back to being a disgruntled

1210
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: Bills fan, why not just start Matt Barkley. I mean,

1211
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: Wi mull Nick Mullan did last night was incredible. Why

1212
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: not just roll the dice on Barkley. He was a

1213
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: semi decent backup here in Chicago. So I mean it's

1214
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday, Mark, Yeah, yeah, no problem, no problem

1215
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: at all. Anything's better than Peterman. I don't know, I

1216
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: disagree with Hey. I gotta say this. In the you know,

1217
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: the Bears four and three, a little bit up and

1218
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: down year, but that opener, that Sunday night game against

1219
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 1: the Packers was really one of the most enjoyable games

1220
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: I've seen in years. I know it's now what seven

1221
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago. I just I was thinking back and watching

1222
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 1: a few Bears games this week in fact, thinking about, Man,

1223
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: what a great game that was that first Sunday night

1224
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: game against Green Bay. Oh, it absolutely was. And the

1225
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: fan base here is still very excited because, like I said,

1226
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: they're so young, there's so much potential there. That defense,

1227
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: with Danny Trevathan and Roquan Smith their top pick, they

1228
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: make up for the loss of Mac in the long run.

1229
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: I think if they're playing lesser opponents, their corners are decent,

1230
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, Fuller and a Mukamara their safeties who finally

1231
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: got that taken care of with with Amos and and

1232
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: Jackson out of Alabama. So everybody's excited here, and it

1233
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: all goes back to Matt Nagy, who gave this team

1234
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: enough confidence not to, you know, fold against their arch

1235
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: rival Packers, and I think that's sustaining itself through this season.

1236
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about the NFC North. You guys,

1237
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: you've got you mismentioned a minute ago. You've got Detroit, Minnesota,

1238
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: Detroit eleven games, three eleven days, three games. How do

1239
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: the Bears feel about their chances to win that division?

1240
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: I think they feel very good now. I think after

1241
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: they beat the Bills, then you know they'll have a

1242
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: little breathing room there. And you know, Detroit's got into

1243
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: issues on me, Matt Patricians more concerned about a reporter

1244
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: slumping in his chair during a news conference than trying

1245
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: to get that team back together and trading Golden Tate.

1246
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: I understand it's a money thing, but that was kind

1247
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: of weird. The Vikings. You know, you just don't know,

1248
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: they look so great and then all of a sudden

1249
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: they can just fall apart. And people always put it

1250
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: on Kirk Cousins, but I think the Bears are excited

1251
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: about these three games in a row, as tight as

1252
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: they might be they can, they'll obviously lock up the

1253
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,439
Speaker 1: division if they can go two and one or three

1254
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: and oh with Marching Greco, who is the sports anchor

1255
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: and sports director at ABC seven in Chicago Buffalo native. Hey,

1256
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,919
Speaker 1: you may or may not only answer to this one, Mark,

1257
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: but watching the Bears games, I've watched and you look

1258
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: at Matt Nage's call sheet and he's called on the

1259
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: offense and big block letters at the bottom of his

1260
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: call sheet. I think it says be yourself or b

1261
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: You have you seen that? What is it? What's he doing? Yes?

1262
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: And I have. That's that's actually a Wendy's menu that

1263
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: he has there. You know, it looks like a Wendy's menu.

1264
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: It does. It's all highlighted. But he's always, you know,

1265
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: be yourself, do your best. He's not a it's not

1266
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: like a cliche ish Rob Rath thing with him. It's

1267
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a genuine excitement and energy and the thing that

1268
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: we love about him. And he's totally transparent. I mean

1269
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: after the John Fox the are here, Oh that was

1270
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: just app brutal. He couldn't stand the media. He was

1271
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: very old school, very protective, you know, very paranoid and suspicious.

1272
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: And and here's Matt coming in actually having a conversation,

1273
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: a two way conversation with reporters and actually answering questions.

1274
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: And that's the way he is with his players. The

1275
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: Bears did a great in house production miking up Trubisky

1276
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: and Naggi during the Jets game, and you really got

1277
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: to feel for their relationship and how Naggie challenges Trubisky

1278
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: at the same time hugging him and patting him on

1279
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: the butt. You know, it's it's really great stuff. So

1280
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: I one thing I want to ask you, Mark, have

1281
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: you got a bet going with your brother Tom Pete.

1282
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: Are you guys you got anything on the line with

1283
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: the Bears in here in Buffalo? No, I mean we

1284
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: don't even you know, we've just conceded. Actually, Steve, you

1285
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: want to come here. I'm going to be at the

1286
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Northwestern game tomorrow night, actually tailgating and we're

1287
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: going to be table diving, except we have nerve table

1288
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: and we have those little little bounce houses so he

1289
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: don't get hurt. Trubisky on Wednesday actually alluded to that.

1290
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: He was asked about Bill's mofi, he goes, I love it,

1291
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I wish Bears fans would do that,

1292
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: And then he caught himself and said, oh, maybe not sure. Well,

1293
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: you can have those nerve tables if you want, but

1294
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: just light them on fire. Absolutely absolutely, and Mark, thanks

1295
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: for this. Good to catch up with you and I

1296
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. We hope to doctor tunes. We

1297
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: hope to talk soon sometime. Thank you very much. Oh absolutely,

1298
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: thank you guys. Good luck in for what it's worth,

1299
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Go Bills, Thanks Marko. Thanks Mark. Jan Greco covers the

1300
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: Bears sports director at ABC seven at Chicago, Buffalo native

1301
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: three time Emmy Award winner joining us on the Subway

1302
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: First Take Hotline presented by Subway Restaurants, proud to be

1303
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: locally owned and operated. He's pretty confident about the Bears chances.

1304
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Oh you think there's a couple of things that snuck

1305
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: into his He didn't even like hesitate, and he says, well,

1306
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: when the Bears beat the Bills, and you know, when

1307
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: this happens, and when that happens, and um, there's no way,

1308
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: there's no way Mac plays in this game. They're gonna

1309
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: rest rod him. They're gonna you know, and that's just

1310
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: a sports anchor there. But maybe indicative of the way

1311
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: at least Bears fans are thinking about this game, which

1312
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna quit. Listen, we record this sound and yeah, yeah,

1313
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do with it? Put on a billboard?

1316
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: kind of threw that out there knowing that would happen.

1317
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if he is now. I think he's

1318
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: been in Chicago for a long time. I don't know.

1331
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: and Steve here in Buffalo. Thanks for joining us, Murph, Steve,

1332
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing? Doing really well? We're late

1333
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: yet week, there's this rough start to the week, but

1334
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: we're doing much much better. Today was good. Yeah, that's good.

1335
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully they'll be a touchdowner so scored this

1336
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: week by the Bells offense. Hopefully. We're halfway through the season, Greg,

1337
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: and you know the Bills are starting another quarterback back

1338
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: to Nathan Peterman this week. Before we get to Nathan,

1339
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: if you can just give us an overall sense of

1340
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: eight games in what the issues are with the Buffalo

1341
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: offense and maybe leave quarterback aside for a second. What

1342
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: other issues do you see there? Well, we talked throughout

1343
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: the season about how important the run game was, regardless

1344
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: of who is going to play quarterback, and I think

1345
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: that's been a little bit of an issue. And you know,

1346
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: I've been studying with Shawn McCoy quite a bit a

1347
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: play right always loved. My guess is he's starting to

1348
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: feel I don't want to say pressure because I don't

1349
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: know what that means. I don't know how players think

1350
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: about this, but I think he's starting to feel like

1351
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: every play has to be a big play. And I

1352
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: think he's always had that ability. He's always been a bouncer.

1353
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: He's always been a very shifty, elusive guy who is

1354
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: not necessarily a true, grinded outpoint of attack runner. But

1355
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: he's probably feeling because the offense is not really producing

1356
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: that every time he touches the ball, he needs a

1357
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: big play, and I think at times he leaves some

1358
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: yards on the field. I think at other times his

1359
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: vision isn't quite what it should be. And my guess

1360
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: is if he was being honest, that he'd probably say

1361
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: he's looking for the big play because no one else

1362
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: is providing it. I think you're right, And I think

1363
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: one of the other things is when it speaks to

1364
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: the kind of player he has been in the past,

1365
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: he's always despite the fact he's missed a game this year,

1366
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: he's really available. He plays when he's uncomfortable physically. He

1367
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: doesn't come off the field. He wants to practice, he

1368
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: wants to work hard. He's got all the stuff if

1369
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: you wanted a running back, and I think he's also

1370
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: it speaks to the type of player he is. He

1371
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: feels responsible for the running game, even though he's got

1372
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: to have so much help getting it done, he still

1373
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: feels like it's his running game and it's up to

1374
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: him to hit the home run. He's a really talented runner.

1375
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's so shifty, elusive, but that's you know,

1376
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: backs like that always at times, not always, that's not

1377
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: the right word. At times they leave some yards on

1378
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: the field because they're not true grind it out, hit

1379
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: it up in their backs. Now, one thing we were

1380
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: talking about in our matchup room here at Films is

1381
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: he's always been a really good receiver too, and you know,

1382
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: I guess I'd like to see them use him in

1383
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: the passing game a little more. What role does Buffalo's

1384
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: offensive line play in the failure of their run game

1385
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: so far? Greg? What do you see there? Oh? I

1386
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: think it definitely plays a role. Murph. We've talked even

1387
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: before the season that one of the issues for me,

1388
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: and again it's purely from tape study. As Steve knows

1389
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:00,959
Speaker 1: the eye and this guy it doesn't lie. It tells

1390
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: you about the players. I don't think it's a particularly

1391
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: athletic offensive line, and I think that that's an area

1392
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: they probably need to address even going forward beyond this year.

1393
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 1: The assumption of course being that Josh Allen will be

1394
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback, but he'll need time, and I think the

1395
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: run game, whoever the back is, will be important, and

1396
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: I think they probably need to upgrade the athleticism and

1397
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 1: mobility and movement of the offensive line. Well do you

1398
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: see him starting down inside with the line? You see

1399
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: that are the tackles playing? Okay, I mean, you know,

1400
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: here's the way I would say that. I mean, I

1401
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: think it starts inside. I think the center and the

1402
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: two guards. I think that those positions and you don't

1403
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: need to upgrade all three with studs. But I think

1404
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: that group as a whole is not overly athletic, I

1405
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: must admit. And I don't know how he's graded because

1406
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm not charting every play, so perhaps what I'm saying

1407
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: from the coach's perspective may not be right. But I

1408
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: don't think that Deondac has played as well as I

1409
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: would have hoped coming out of Temple. I thought he

1410
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 1: played well last year as a rookie. Some thought, in

1411
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: an ideal world he should be a guard. Maybe that's true.

1412
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: You know, that's hard to know at this point, but

1413
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, I would have expected him to play a

1414
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: little better. Again, based on my film study. We're on

1415
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: the line with Great Cosell, analysts executive producer of NFL

1416
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: matchup on ESPN. Let's get to another second year guy,

1417
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: and that's the guy whos going to start a quarterback,

1418
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman. Do you recall I know I'm just asking

1419
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: this now, but what were your pre draft grades? What

1420
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: did your pre draft outlook look like on Nathan Peterman

1421
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: before he came out in the fifth round in twenty seventeen.

1422
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of afraid to say that now

1423
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: because I kind of liked Nathan Peters well, I mean,

1424
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: I knew what his limitations were. I mean again, you

1425
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: know that's you had to decide when you watch Nathan

1426
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Peterman about his arm strength. But I guess the thing

1427
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: that has surprised me, and I bet it surprised a

1428
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: number of people, to be honest with you, is you know,

1429
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: I thought that he was unreally understood how to play.

1430
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: I thought he would know where to go with the ball.

1431
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: In fact, when he came out, I said, there's a

1432
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: lot to like about Peterman regarding how he plays in

1433
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: terms of his poise, his anticipation, his accuracy. But he's

1434
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 1: not a high level throwing deck talent, so I knew

1435
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: what his limitations were, but the parts that I liked

1436
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't shown in the NFL. So I'm kind of

1437
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: at a loss a little bit for what's going on,

1438
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: because I thought that you could play Nathan Peterman certainly

1439
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: as a backup for three or four weeks, and that

1440
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: he'd be fine. But it hasn't really transpired that way. Well, yeah,

1441
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: and now they have to of course with the injurgy

1442
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: that But I've been a see we'll tell you, Greg,

1443
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: I've been noisy about this all week. I would submit

1444
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: that he's only started three games. He said too, he said,

1445
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: one horrible start at the Chargers a year ago, almost

1446
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: a full year ago. I just I don't feel like

1447
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: even though his failings his interceptions have been notable and

1448
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: and well noted and well chronicled, I don't know if

1449
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: we've seen the whole picture of Nathan Peterman Yett. And

1450
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: although I'd prefer that they, I wish I had someone

1451
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: else to start on Sunday. I don't know if it's

1452
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: impending disaster like many people anticipate. Yeah, and that's a

1453
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: very fair statement, Murphy, because you're right, and it's easy

1454
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: right now to just rip him because his mistakes have been,

1455
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, very visible. The five interceptions in the first

1456
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 1: half last year, the coming in when they were beating

1457
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Euston and looked like they could win that game and

1458
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,799
Speaker 1: he throws the bad pick. So they've been very visible,

1459
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: very out front. But boy, I thought that he had

1460
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: a really good feel for the timing and rhythm and

1461
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: the passing game, had to distribute the ball. That's what

1462
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: he showed in college. And what you said, like I said,

1463
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 1: it's very fair. Maybe if he had a chance to

1464
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,759
Speaker 1: start three, four or five games in a row, you'd

1465
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: see more of that because I think at his core

1466
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: that's what he is. But he may not get that

1467
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 1: chance obviously. Well, Chicago Bears come to Buffalo with Mitch

1468
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: Trubisky as a second year quarterback and he's you know,

1469
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: actually kind of looking more like the guy they thought

1470
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: he would be, drafting him so high. Sixty four and

1471
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: a half percent of his passes, you know, not a

1472
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: juggernaut of an offense, but certainly a quarterback who's getting better.

1473
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 1: Yes and no. I mean I watch him on tape

1474
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: every week, and you know, I think that he's had moments.

1475
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,719
Speaker 1: I think that depending on the game, Like for instance,

1476
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: last week they played the Jets and their defense really

1477
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: held the Jets, and I guess is they'll think their

1478
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 1: defense can hold the Bills as well. So their offense

1479
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: is pretty basic. It's highly schemed, but basic. It's zone reads,

1480
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: it's bubble screens, it's backfield action, it's misdirection. I think

1481
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: the offense is is too. The objective. Let's put it

1482
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: this way. The objective is to system manically define things

1483
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 1: as clearly as possible for Trubisky. You know, I don't

1484
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: think they really want him dropping back and going through

1485
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: progressions and having to deal with a whole lot if

1486
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,600
Speaker 1: they can avoid that. The one thing they have, and

1487
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: I think maybe to my take anyway, great, the most

1488
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: dynamic weapon they have is the running back. To Rek Cohen,

1489
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: This guy impresses me with the variety of things he

1490
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: can do and do Uckley and do pretty well. What

1491
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 1: do you think, Yeah, he's their most explosive guy. They

1492
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: line him up both in the backfield and detach from

1493
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: the formation as a receiver, and he's an explosive guy.

1494
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: He certainly can run routes. Well, it's game dependent on

1495
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: how much they give him the ball as a back.

1496
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: You know, last week they got ahead and they basically

1497
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: went to their their conventional run game with Jordan Howard.

1498
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: I would imagine if they get ahead of the Bills,

1499
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, seventeen six in the third quarter, that's what

1500
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: you would see they would give it to Jordan Howard

1501
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: and not to Rik Cohen. But Cohen is one of

1502
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: their most explosive, if not their most explosive offensive player.

1503
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,719
Speaker 1: I think one of the surprise stories of the entire week.

1504
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: And we're sitting here talking about young quarterbacks. Last night,

1505
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins for the forty nine ers jumps out and

1506
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 1: takes over for and injured CJ. Betth Third who took

1507
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: over for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo, and Mullins put on

1508
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 1: a performance that was really really impressive. Now they were

1509
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: playing the Raiders, but still having a young quarterback in

1510
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: a system and maybe it's maybe it is, Kyle Shanahan.

1511
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,719
Speaker 1: What do you attribute that success to last night? Well,

1512
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 1: first of all, Steve, you had him on your fantasy team, right, Yeah,

1513
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: all I was all over it. I was a you know, look,

1514
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: you always have to execute the system. And I'm taking

1515
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,759
Speaker 1: nothing away from Nick Mollins. And I watched the tape

1516
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: first thing when I came in this morning. I watched

1517
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: all his dropbacks. But I've always been a really big

1518
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: fan of Kyle Shanahan's offense. I think he does so

1519
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: many good things with shifts, with motions, with his what

1520
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 1: I call his run pass fusion, with boot action, with

1521
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 1: play action. I think he presents a lot of challenges

1522
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 1: and stresses for a defense, and I thought he did

1523
01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: such a good job with that last night. And last

1524
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: night he did a good job too with some tempo,

1525
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: a number of plays where the Raiders defense was not set,

1526
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: including the gar Song twenty five yard touchdown to end

1527
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 1: the opening possession. So you know, obviously the quarterback has

1528
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: to execute. But I thought that that last night was

1529
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: a really good example of an offense setting the quarterback

1530
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: up for success really beautifully. Greg guy, let's bounce around

1531
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: a little bit around the league about some of the

1532
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: matchups coming up the Sunday. Great Cosell from ESPN NFL

1533
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 1: matchup on the line with us on the Sunday four

1534
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 1: twenty five in the Superdome. It's the top two of

1535
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: the top three scoring teams in the league, the Rams

1536
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: and the Saints. Is gonna be a shootout, I would

1537
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: think everyone expects. So what do you think you would think?

1538
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: It has some very intriguing elements. You know, one of

1539
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 1: the things that we did in the Matchup show this

1540
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: week was to talk about the Rams play action pass game,

1541
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: which really features outside zone run action, and the impact

1542
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: that that has on the pass rush. You know, most

1543
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 1: people tend to think of play action having an impact

1544
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: on the linebackers, you know, holding them and freezing them.

1545
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: But with that outside zone run game, it really has

1546
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: an impact on the pass rush. And that's one reason

1547
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: why Goff can be secure in the pocket. And I'm

1548
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: anxious to see what Dennis Allen does from a defensive standpoint,

1549
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 1: because you still have to try to counter that. I mean,

1550
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: you can't just let Goff be comfortable in the pocket.

1551
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 1: They're going to get Cooper cut back and that's interesting.

1552
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: The other side of the ball's interesting too. These two

1553
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: teams played last year in November and Alvin Kamara had

1554
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: I believe one hundred and eighty seven yards on eleven touches.

1555
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 1: Think about that for a minute. You know, that's I

1556
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: think he had five rushes for eighty seven and six

1557
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 1: catches for one oh one something like that, And that's

1558
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: Kamara is a real matchup problem. And we'll see, but

1559
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: it could it could be a high scoring game. Do

1560
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,799
Speaker 1: you think the La Rams upgrade on their defensive side

1561
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: is gonna take care of Come on, I mean, there's

1562
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: no question they're gonna remember what Kamara did to him,

1563
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 1: and they should. But you know, with Aaron Donald Ann

1564
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: and Dominican Sue Middleton, who's playing extremely well as a

1565
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: young linebacker, the Rams defense they're different than they were

1566
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: a year ago. Yeah, they are. Littleton's a real athletic kid,

1567
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: number fifty eight. You know, he was an undrafted player too,

1568
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: which kind of surprised me because I remember watching him

1569
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: in college. They just traded for Dante Fowler because I

1570
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 1: think they felt that their edge pass rush was a

1571
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: concern because you know what they were doing Steve when

1572
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: they went to their sub packages with pass rush they

1573
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 1: were playing. Sue was a wide nine defensive end. And

1574
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: while Sue is a really nice player, I think in

1575
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 1: an ideal world, you don't want him to be your

1576
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: wide nine d n rushing the quarterback. So Dante Fowler

1577
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: is going to probably move into a defensive end position,

1578
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: certainly when they go to their nickel and dine. Hey,

1579
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: Greg guy. The Sunday night game looks especially fun this

1580
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 1: week with green Bay going to Foxborough Aaron Rodgers and

1581
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers number one career leader and passer rating.

1582
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is ranked number three all time career passer rating.

1583
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Steve wanted me to ask you the trivia question, do

1584
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: you know who's ranked number two all time passer reading

1585
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: well in the name of full disclosure, you asked me

1586
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: before we can yes, and and uh, you know again,

1587
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have gotten it until I thought about it,

1588
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: because we had that minute or sort of think about it,

1589
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:18,600
Speaker 1: and I was surprised that it was Russell Wilson. It

1590
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: is surprising, I will say that, very surprising. I will

1591
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 1: say this. You you gave took a couple of quick guesses,

1592
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: and you guess the exact same two guys I did.

1593
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 1: I guess Steve Young because I thought it would be

1594
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: a guy from the past who you know, had a

1595
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: nice career and was known for that. And then I

1596
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 1: guessed a current guy and Drew Brees. We both guessed

1597
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: the same two guys and neither one of us was correct.

1598
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: And I was really surprised about Russell Wilson being that

1599
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: good a passer with that kind of rating. Yeah no, well,

1600
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 1: Steve obviously great minds think alike. But yeah, no, I

1601
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 1: was surprising. But I think that game, that's a fascinating

1602
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: game to me because you know, keep one thing in

1603
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,600
Speaker 1: mind about that game. Mike Patton is the defensive coordinator.

1604
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: And you guys know Mike Petton, but Mike Petton's the

1605
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 1: coordinator in Green Bay. He was with the Jets with

1606
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan when they had a number of games that

1607
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 1: where they had a lot of success against the Patriots

1608
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, and I think that that's something to

1609
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: keep in mind as you think about this game. You know, well,

1610
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: I've seen the Patriots. We've seen the Patriots here. We

1611
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: saw him this last week against the Bills, of course,

1612
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:22,879
Speaker 1: and then I saw him earlier in the year against

1613
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: Miami at times, and you've probably seen him on film

1614
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: at times. Tom Brady looks forty one years old, I

1615
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: would agree, and I thought the Bills did are really

1616
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 1: good job Steve. You know, they got pressure on him early,

1617
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: they got him playing a little fast. He was. It

1618
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,839
Speaker 1: was sort of a combination of being fast and tentative

1619
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: at the same time. It was to me it was

1620
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: not one of Brady's best games. So we'll see. But

1621
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, as I said, Patton's had success against him

1622
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: and Mike. The one thing about Mike Patton, and like

1623
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: I said, you guys know him from when he was

1624
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, He's not going to sit back. He's going

1625
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: to have selective blitzes, and he's going to go after

1626
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 1: him at times Patriot's offense, Greg I kept waiting Monday

1627
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: night for Josh Gordon to be more of a factor.

1628
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if Trudavious White was the was the

1629
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 1: reason why I didn't make much of an impact, But

1630
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: it just feels like one of these games Josh Gordon

1631
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: is going to explode. Could this be the weekend, this

1632
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Green Bay It could be. You know,

1633
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: it's funny you say that about Monday night because watching

1634
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 1: the tape and I saw some of the game live

1635
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: on TV, but but you know, not all of it,

1636
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: because you know, Murf, I'm all to have to go

1637
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 1: to bed, But I just seemed that the Patriots offense

1638
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: was sort of at a sink, and they started the

1639
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: game with Cordaryl Patterson as their eyeback, and they came

1640
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,799
Speaker 1: back to it on that touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.

1641
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 1: You know, their offense to me just didn't look right.

1642
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 1: They probably felt and it turned out to be so

1643
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: that they didn't need to score a ton of points

1644
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 1: to win that game. That may not be the case

1645
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. Let's let's go down the list a

1646
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: little bit. One more matchup I wanted to watch you about. Well,

1647
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: first thing I want to do is get your thoughts

1648
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 1: on what happened at Cleveland. The huge axon and some

1649
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: people would say finally got let goes. Head coach Greg

1650
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 1: Williams is the guy that is left standing in the

1651
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: cage match between him and Todd Haley and the coordinators.

1652
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean that what do you make of what's going

1653
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: on in Cleveland? How fast can they turn around? What

1654
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: can one guy do a head coaching change? Have we ever?

1655
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole list of questions now about Cleveland.

1656
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 1: Is there have you ever seen an interim head coach,

1657
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, completely transform a team. I can't remember that specifically,

1658
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: but if you just look at the team, they have

1659
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback who I like, who's going to go

1660
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: through growing pains. They don't have very much at the

1661
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: skilled positions right now. I think the old line is

1662
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of a work in progress. I think

1663
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: their defense under Greg Williams is a little bit feast

1664
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 1: or famine. You know, some of their numbers are really good,

1665
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say that there are a defense that

1666
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: shuts people down. So it's it's a difficult situation offensively,

1667
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's going to take time. You know,

1668
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's always hard to know unless you're in

1669
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 1: the building, Steve, and you know this what the real

1670
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 1: situation is. You know, I can't sit here and tell

1671
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: you that you Jackson should still be there or should

1672
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: not still be there. You know that that's hard to know.

1673
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a tough situation. I do believe

1674
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: that the quarterback, Baker Mayfield, will be a good player

1675
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: and eventually they'll have a good offense, but right now

1676
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: they're very much lacking at the skill position, particularly outside receiver, Greg,

1677
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: I have one more game to ask you about us,

1678
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: a Monday night game the Cowboys, who really have struggled

1679
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: offensively this year. What did they get from Amari Cooper

1680
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: is seeing kind of a missing Lincoln. What will that

1681
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: matchup look like against Tennessee with a Marie Cooper in

1682
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 1: there on Monday. Well, that's a great question because I

1683
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: think to me, Scott Linahan, who's their offensive coordinator, to me,

1684
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: at his core, likes to line up with three wide

1685
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 1: receivers and one back, and I think now getting a

1686
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: Mari Cooper Murph allows that to happen. And I'm real

1687
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: anxious to see how they use Amari Cooper because Michael Gallop,

1688
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 1: their rookie wide receiver from Colorado's state, has sort of

1689
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 1: settled in as their ex their single receiver to the boundary,

1690
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: and I'm curious to see if they put Cooper in

1691
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: that spot or if they keep gall up there and

1692
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,640
Speaker 1: put Cooper and Z and move them around. You know.

1693
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: But I think they actually now have a pretty good

1694
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps and I'm very anxious to see how

1695
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 1: they go about playing offense. Yeah, still time for the

1696
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys to make a run. I'm not a Cowboys fan,

1697
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 1: by the way, but the three and four and uh,

1698
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna play Philly twice. They gotta play

1699
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:29,560
Speaker 1: Philly twice. I mean they have big games coming up. Yeah,

1700
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: all right, great, thanks Greg, I have a great weekend,

1701

Speaker 1: Steve's headed out west to Seattle as part of his

Speaker 1: It's this four or five PM Sunday. Yeah, Century Link Field,

1733
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers and the Seattle Seahawks. Kevin Harland,

1734
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: rich Gannon, Steve Tasker. Your referee is Sean Hockley. You

1735
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: like to know about this game? We had Sean Hockley

1736
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 1: last week too. Um interesting, I kind of like working

1737
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 1: with Rich Gannon and Kevin Harlan. We were talking about

1738
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: broadcasting earlier. Why we get five and two against the

1739
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 1: good games? Good games? Yeah, I got Seahawks hosting the Chargers.

1740
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: Seahawks four and three, Chargers five and two, and that's

1741
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: it's an important game for both those although it's out

1742
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: of conference, so it's one of the more you know,

1743
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,719
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker things down the list, but a tough game.

1744
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 1: And it's a road game for the Chargers, although you know,

1745
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: between us, we all kind of figured every game's a

1746
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: road game for the Chargers these days with with where

1747
01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 1: they're playing. But um, I'm really interested to see the

1748
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks because I've seen them. I've covered them when they

1749
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: were the legion of boom. They're not that anymore. They

1750
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 1: are not that anymore, and now that they've had to

1751
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 1: begin to, you know, compensate players that they really feel

1752
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 1: like they need, like Russell Wilson. Um, they've they've had

1753
01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: to evolve away from being a defensively oriented team. And

1754
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 1: I think watching them trying and going four and three, Um,

1755
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 1: they're in the midst of it, and they're kind of

1756
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: getting it done. I mean, that's a that's a pretty

1757
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 1: good season for a team that uh is getting vilified

1758
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 1: for letting some really good players go. You could use

1759
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: your new trivia question with Russell Wilson as the answer

1760
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: sometime during the broadcast Sunday. No, I'm way ahead of em,

1761
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: already down. I'm set it in as a graphic that

1762
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: on a graphic Yeah, use it because, yeah, it's great.

1763
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna in fact, I'm gonna get credit

1764
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:49,800
Speaker 1: for that. I'm gonna email that to the crew. And

1765
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: maybe they haven't making a graphic of that, yeah, because

1766
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: it maybe me look like a smart guy. It is

1767
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: good and it Russell Wilson is is a one of

1768
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 1: a kind quarterback, just like Philip Rivers is kind of

1769
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: a one of a kind guy. He both those guys

1770
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: are completely different. And you know, it's amazing too that

1771
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 1: you would think the prototypical quarterback, which Philip Rivers is,

1772
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 1: he's a standalone in the pocket, make the throw kind

1773
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 1: of quarterback, plays the game from between his ears, you

1774
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Russell Wilson is a great thrower

1775
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 1: of the football, but he's more of a playmaker, you know.

1776
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: He likes to throw the throw. He scrambles around, but

1777
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: he scrambles to throw the football. Russell Wilson's the one

1778
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: that's been to two super Bowls and tips Philip Rivers

1779
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: is an all time great thrower. Ye I mean all

1780
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: time great and he hasn't even been to a Super Bowl. Yeh,

1781
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Well, he Eli Manning was right, what do

1782
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 1: you mean when he was draft to remember, it was

1783
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:54,759
Speaker 1: Eli Manning one to the San Diego Chargers, Philip Rivers

1784
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 1: two to the New York Giants, and Eli Manning had

1785
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 1: told the San Diego Charger I don't want to play

1786
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: for you because you have an organization that never gets anywhere.

1787
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 1: And the big deal like Eli Manning was, you know,

1788
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 1: took some criticism for it, and so a draft day

1789
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: trade happened after those two players were picked. The Giants

1790
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: got Eli Manning two super Bowls later, and the Chargers

1791
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: got Philip Rivers, who was actually probably a better individual player,

1792
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: and they've gone nowhere. So I think Eli Manning was right. Yeah,

1793
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't happy when the back when that happened. I

1794
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: get it. It's it's hard to get over that. When

1795
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:33,679
Speaker 1: some young college kid says that about a team. Yeah,

1796
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 1: John Elway did it. Yeah, I wasn't happy then, Yeah

1797
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 1: he John Elways wouldn't go to play for the Colts.

1798
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 1: Yeah he. Our Twitter Paul today deals with the Bills

1799
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: and if the Bills should win on Sunday, If the

1800
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills should pick up the win against Chicago, it's

1801
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: not impossible. Who do you think which under the radar player,

1802
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: if there is going to be one, which under the

1803
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: radar player would be most responsible for that win? If

1804
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: the Bills went on Sunday, which under the radar player

1805
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 1: will be the reason. I'm the Twitter poll right now.

1806
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: Fifty eight percent of you say it'll be Nathan Peterman,

1807
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 1: Twenty two percent say it'll be Terrell Prior, the new receiver,

1808
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,599

1816
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 1: you're the best. That's an awesome take. Why do you

1817
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: feel that way? After the game on Monday night? My

1818
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: rescue dog, I'm seventy years old. I wish I could

1819
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 1: afford to go to one of the games, but it

1820
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:50,679
Speaker 1: was spend, spend, spend, and you'll have nothing, nothing, nothing

1821
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: all my life. My rescue dog would not stay upstairs

1822
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 1: with me. He's a ninety eight pound yellow lamb. I

1823
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:03,680
Speaker 1: was screaming, howering so much. It looked so good for

1824
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: so long. If they can do that against Chicago Monday

1825
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 1: night game. God helped Chicago when they come to town.

1826
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 1: I wish I could give you an outstanding player, but

1827
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 1: back we had to be what back in the day

1828
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: when I was still working for a living, I was

1829
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:31,640
Speaker 1: in a box watching a game. Steve, you could have

1830
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: even been playing in that game at the time. I'm

1831
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:40,280
Speaker 1: not sure they won the game. My son was maybe

1832
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen years old, and it was, like I said,

1833
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 1: it was back in the days, the four years when

1834
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 1: when it was super Bowl after super Bowl after super Bowl. Yeah,

1835
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 1: he's still got the super Bowl feeling going the years

1836
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 1: they had been your Yeah, Ben's kind of losing track

1837
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 1: what he was talking about, but yeah, I appreciate it, Ben,

1838
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 1: and and add listen, this is a team that's gonna

1839
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 1: lean on their defense, you know it is. I'm glad

1840
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 1: you're still hanging in there with him, Ben, so many

1841
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: years later. It was great. Thanks for calling. Uh and

1842
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, make sure your dog sticks with you. I'm yeah, yeah,

1843
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's important. Here's a call from Milt

1844
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Good afternoon, No, welcome to the show. Hey,

1845

1847
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. He just those are out there too quick,

1848
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, take your time and look, that's

1849
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 1: i I'm asking. Please tell him. Man, Yeah, Milt, you

1850
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 1: know what I Milt, and I get that because I

1851
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:44,600
Speaker 1: see the same thing. His body language looks hectic, doesn't not.

1852
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:46,720
Speaker 1: Is that what you see too? I mean, because he

1853
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 1: looks I've seen him play when he's relaxed, and all

1854
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: too often in the regular season he never looks relaxed. Yes,

1855
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 1: let's keep throwing to the left and to the outside.

1856
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,639
Speaker 1: You know, he's good with the you know, the older

1857
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,600
Speaker 1: tops of Benjamin or you know those passes, but you

1858
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: know those down and outs. Got take his time. Yeah,

1859
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't want him hanging on too long, though, Mill

1860
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. I don't want him waiting too long.

1861
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 1: You know what he needs. He needs rhythm, Stephen. He

1862
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 1: just hasn't played enough. That's the point I was trying

1863
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 1: to make all week, including an out of forty five

1864
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: minutes ago with great Cosell. Find a rhythm, you know how.

1865
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: He finds a rhythm, a rhythm to his passing game.

1866
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 1: He plays more. This is fourth NFL start. He hasn't

1867
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 1: finished one of his first three. He needs to play.

1868
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with the interceptions. Maybe he throws some,

1869
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't throw any. But regardless of the two

1870
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 1: bad days that he had, the two bad interception days

1871
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 1: he had already this year, in his one year playing

1872
01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL, he's not gonna get any better if

1873
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't play. Look, he's not the first choice that

1874
01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 1: any of us would make for the Bill's quarterback, but

1875
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 1: he's the choice this week, and I hope that he

1876
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:50,639
Speaker 1: starts and finishes and plays well. I'm really I'm thinking

1877
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 1: it's not too hard to believe that could happen. Well, Listen,

1878
01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: he's a young player, a very young player, who's gonna

1879
01:29:56,960 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 1: need help to win football games, and that help only

1880
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 1: at this point, has only come from the defensive side

1881
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,240
Speaker 1: of them. By the way, in that respect, he's in

1882
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: the same boat with about twenty five other second you know,

1883
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 1: second screen quarterbacks around the NFL. Right, he's a young player. Yeah,

1884
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:12,679
Speaker 1: that's right. He's a young player's gonna need help to win.

1885
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 1: But at this point he's only gotten help really from

1886
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 1: the defensive side. That doesn't help him when he's on

1887
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 1: the field. His running game hasn't been as good as

1888
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 1: it should be, particularly this year, and the outside receivers

1889
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:25,640
Speaker 1: have you know, he's had some drops, some doinks, that

1890
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,479
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and his offensive line needs to protect

1891
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:32,760
Speaker 1: him better, better than a normal quarterback would need. He's

1892
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:34,960
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. He needs more protection, he needs more

1893
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: help in the run game. He needs better wide receivers

1894
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,760
Speaker 1: outside to make plays for him when he's you know,

1895
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 1: makes mistakes like a young player would. None of that

1896
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: stuff has shown itself in Buffalo yet. That's why he struggles.

1897
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: He's a young player who needs help on the offensive side,

1898
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 1: and nobody's been able to do that. Yet. If he

1899
01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:54,800
Speaker 1: can get some help this week, certainly you can count

1900
01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 1: on the defense doing their part. He's got a chance.

1901
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:01,639
Speaker 1: But it starts too with him not throwing the football

1902
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 1: or the other team throwing it away, punting it, you know,

1903
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 1: letting the team punt it away, playing a little feel position,

1904
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 1: don't give himself the bad catastrophic play because I get

1905
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: do you get the feeling this too, because he's still

1906
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: is young, and I still he's got to get to

1907
01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: a point where he's played well enough at times to

1908
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 1: shrug off a bad play at this point, and I

1909
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 1: don't know, you may chime on this tumor what do

1910
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: you think when you throw it? Now? When he throws

1911
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:28,600
Speaker 1: the interception, it's almost like now it starts something he

1912
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 1: can't stop. He can't shrug that off yet because it's

1913
01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 1: been got right. He got to You've got to he

1914
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,200
Speaker 1: can throw an interception in the first series on Sunday

1915
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 1: and you know what, he's got to keep playing. He's

1916
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 1: got to keep playing him. I mean, you, Barkley, he's

1917
01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 1: been here two or three day. That's almost got to

1918
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 1: be the message. Say he gotta shrug it off. Yea,

1919
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 1: And even though you know that's been his you know,

1920
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 1: modus operendi for his short career. He's got to get

1921
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:52,599
Speaker 1: to the point where he has confidence enough to say,

1922
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 1: you know what, it doesn't matter. I've got to just

1923
01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 1: keep throwing it. And I don't, right, I've he's got

1924
01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, I don't think he's there yet.

1925
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 1: At least he hasn't shown that he is. And I'd

1926
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: like to see that happen, not to see him throw

1927
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: miss an interception. But you just keep grind, keep going. Yeah,

1928
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:10,320
Speaker 1: finish all right, We got more to come, including Lorenzo

1929
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:13,799

1976
01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 1: are you holding up, Lorenzo? Okay, yeah, I'm pretty good.

1977
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, it was a little rough there on Tuesday morning,

1978
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, getting home around twelve thirty, didn't get to

1979
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: bed to maybe three thirty four o'clock because I was

1980
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,639
Speaker 1: still hyped up off the game. And then my kids

1981
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 1: got up about seven thirty expecting to come up here

1982
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,439
Speaker 1: for breakfast, as we bring them up here every Tuesday,

1983
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,719
Speaker 1: So I was up here early that morning. So Tuesday

1984
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:19,640
Speaker 1: was rough, but I've got some great rest. Shann And

1985
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 1: did a good job this week as far as tapering

1986
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 1: back on some of the reps and just the scheduling

1987
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 1: a little bit to let guys kind of recovering from

1988
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 1: that game. For most people, one day shorter work week.

1989
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:32,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good thing, and football it's not

1990
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:37,840
Speaker 1: such a great thing. It takes time to recovery. That

1991
01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 1: extra twenty four hours is a huge difference. It's huge.

1992
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 1: I mean just extra. I mean the five five or

1993
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 1: six hours you had from playing a one o'clock game

1994
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 1: versus eight o'clock game is huge. Yeah, So I mean

1995
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:51,720
Speaker 1: the day makes it a big differences as far as

1996
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 1: your recovery. How you feel that next day when you

1997
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 1: get ready to practice, it's it's really night and day. Yeah.

1998
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 1: And the reason for the short week was Monday football.

1999
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:02,800
Speaker 1: Did you guys get a chance to maybe for a

2000
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:05,680
Speaker 1: minute check out the halftime ceremony that Thurman did? What

2001
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:09,200
Speaker 1: I got out there? It was it was late. I

2002
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:12,240
Speaker 1: really wasn't focused on it, but he was still speaking. Obviously,

2003
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 1: I've gotten a chance to hang out with them a

2004
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 1: little bit, and I really have a lot of respect

2005
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:18,680
Speaker 1: for what he's done in his career and who he

2006
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:21,040
Speaker 1: is now, and I would call him a friend and

2007
01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 1: so that that's just a special moment for him to

2008
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:25,360
Speaker 1: be able to have his number retires. So it was

2009
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 1: real cool to have that and all the fans out

2010
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 1: there was pack stadium. I just wish we could have

2011
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:32,160
Speaker 1: brought that win home phone Twell, did you see the

2012
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 1: stadium with the lights out of yeah, and everybody camera phones. Yeah,

2013
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:36,879
Speaker 1: it was cool. It was real cool. So good atmosphere

2014
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:38,519
Speaker 1: in the stadium Monday for the moment part right the

2015
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:40,960
Speaker 1: whole game, I thought, I thought so I did know?

2016
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 1: Uh POI has said there was a little brawl on

2017
01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:46,240
Speaker 1: the opposite opposing side. But other than that, I guess

2018
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 1: it was a great atmosphere, the soul once in a while. Yeah, hey,

2019
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 1: what do you do? You mentioned how you got home

2020
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 1: at twelve thirty and didn't get asleep to what two

2021
01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 1: thirty or three? Are you in pain or you just

2022
01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:00,680
Speaker 1: conf I mean that game was r because you know,

2023
01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:05,080
Speaker 1: in the Houston and who we played an indie game.

2024
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,599
Speaker 1: I played a total of thirty five snaps in both

2025
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: those games combined. Last week, I played sixty sixty snaps

2026
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 1: just on defense plus special teams. So I was moving

2027
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 1: pretty slow after the game, and even a reporter asked me,

2028
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:21,800
Speaker 1: why do you moving slow? You hurt? Like no, dude,

2029
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 1: I just laid it all out. Yeah, I kept it cool.

2030
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:30,519
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's why Tremaine's injury. No, no, Julian actually

2031
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:32,840
Speaker 1: stepped in for Tremaine. It was more so because Trent

2032
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:36,360
Speaker 1: was hurt. Um, So I'm I'm doubling as a defensive

2033
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:38,559
Speaker 1: end and then playing off the ball linebacker, so, you know,

2034
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 1: just kind of using my skill set in different areas. Well.

2035
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: You got a short week, you're getting ready for Chicago.

2036
01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:45,559
Speaker 1: At least you do get another home game, right, which

2037
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,800
Speaker 1: is really good talking. Let's ask you know, what do

2038
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:50,680
Speaker 1: you see in the Chicago Bears. What's the vibe in

2039
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:52,720
Speaker 1: the locker room about this game? You know, obviously their

2040
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: head coach, Naggie came from Kansas City, so it's pretty

2041
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 1: much the same office that we saw last year when

2042
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 1: we played with them. A lot of multiple front spreading

2043
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,840
Speaker 1: guys out and they even have Kansas City chiefs last year.

2044
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 1: So even even similar personnel, you know, you think about

2045
01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:09,479
Speaker 1: their tight end as much like Kelsey Cohen, m A

2046
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: Trey nine, Trey Burton is like kel Tyriko. It's like

2047
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:16,360
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. You know, you can even say how it

2048
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,400
Speaker 1: is kind of like a cream Hunt. So they kind

2049
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 1: of built similar and now have run a lot of

2050
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 1: same play. So we obviously went back and revisit that game,

2051
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 1: saw what work well, saw what hurt us to kind

2052
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 1: of get a good feel of what their offense is

2053
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 1: all about. One of the things that people are saying

2054
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 1: about Kansas City, at least this year, is that they

2055
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 1: do a lot of motion, a lot of shifts, a

2056
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 1: lot of personnel, all of that stuff, But the plays

2057
01:38:38,240 --> 01:38:40,040
Speaker 1: aren't that many. I mean, it's not like they run

2058
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 1: fifty thousand plays, but they do have fifty thousand looks. Well,

2059
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,759
Speaker 1: they'll give you fifty thousand looks and fifty thousand plays.

2060
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:47,720
Speaker 1: Especially down that red zone area. They don't give you

2061
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of unconventional sets, just trying to see if

2062
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 1: you're in the man or zone type of defense and

2063
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 1: really trying to you know, mess up your rules or

2064
01:38:55,520 --> 01:38:57,720
Speaker 1: really stretch your rules and making guys have to line

2065
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 1: up properly so that maybe they can you know, catch

2066
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 1: you off guard to get a sneak one, especially with

2067
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 1: a young quarterback in the Chiefs. The Bears aren't there yet,

2068
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 1: right the Bears, Yes, yeah, yeah, they have a lot

2069
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:09,519
Speaker 1: of different groupings. I don't know if it's because of

2070
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:11,639
Speaker 1: their identity or if they're just trying to get guys

2071
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:13,880
Speaker 1: stretch your rules and try to catch you off a

2072
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 1: little bit. But especially in the reson, they give you

2073
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different looks. You know, four by one,

2074
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,919
Speaker 1: you know, have two quarterbacks in the backfield, Chase Daniels

2075
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,439
Speaker 1: Andrew Bisky lined up back there. So they'll give you

2076
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 1: some weird things just to kind of get catch you

2077
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:29,600
Speaker 1: off guard and see if you're ready for them. A

2078
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:33,559
Speaker 1: lot of shovel pass. You know why screen down there, Um,

2079
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: they do a lot of things, sprint out. Yeah, it's

2080
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: a ton of things that go on watch. I think

2081
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:41,640
Speaker 1: he's one of the best really in the league, and

2082
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 1: nobody really knows that much about it, right Yeah, I know. Um,

2083
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:46,360
Speaker 1: And it's a shame because he is very explosive. He's

2084
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:48,200
Speaker 1: one of those guys. You know last week he had

2085
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,720
Speaker 1: what one cash for seventy yards and he's you know,

2086
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 1: out the gates. So that's actually one of the guys

2087
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 1: that we really have to be aware in the kicking game,

2088
01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 1: especially punt return, and then on offense where he's lining

2089
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:00,800
Speaker 1: up because he'd be in the back field, he'll line

2090
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: up at slot, he'll line up number one receiver, and

2091
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:05,519
Speaker 1: they're trying to get him the ball. In the screen game,

2092
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:08,360
Speaker 1: he'll run all the routes in the route tree. So

2093
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:10,280
Speaker 1: it's going to definitely be a challenge for our corners

2094
01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 1: and our linebacks when we have to line up against him.

2095
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:14,560
Speaker 1: I jump ahead already to the lowdown because you're he

2096
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:16,400
Speaker 1: just want I just realized he's yeah, you did jump.

2097
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: I went there listening on top of it. He's five six.

2098
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's a he's a hood ornament. I

2099
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 1: mean he's little, but he's you know, he's compact and

2100
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 1: he can. We've seen other guys like like that as well.

2101
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowles is kind of like one of those guys.

2102
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:36,719
Speaker 1: That's kind of what you're looking at when you see

2103
01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:38,720
Speaker 1: Cohen come out of the backfield. Last week in the

2104
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:41,639
Speaker 1: game against the Jets, he only had six touches. Uh,

2105
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 1: that's aside from his kick returns. Right, but you know

2106
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 1: he had one reception seventy yard touchdown. Yeah, that's all

2107
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:50,559
Speaker 1: he needed, right. I mean, that's that's what you're looking at. Right.

2108
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 1: That type of big play explosive ability is something that's scary,

2109
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 1: and that's why we have to have our eyes on

2110
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:57,680
Speaker 1: him at all times. Lorenzo Alexander and studio with us.

2111
01:40:57,680 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 1: If you have a comment or question, will be with

2112
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:00,680
Speaker 1: us for a couple of minutes here eight oh three

2113
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:04,200
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

2114
01:41:04,240 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 1: five fifty. Will get back into the lowdown in a second.

2115
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 1: I do want to bring up one more thing about

2116
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots game, and that's post game, and I was

2117
01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:13,560
Speaker 1: down there in the locker room almost if scripted. I

2118
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:15,919
Speaker 1: don't think it was the way you and your defensive

2119
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:18,799
Speaker 1: teammates responded to that game. I mean that was Tom Brady.

2120
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:20,559
Speaker 1: They came in, they were averaging thirty nine points a

2121
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 1: game over the last four you guys essentially shut them down, right,

2122
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 1: held them to one touchdown. And yet Yeah, all you

2123
01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 1: guys talked about was we failed. We didn't get anything. Yeah,

2124
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean we play them tough. We always play them tough,

2125
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 1: and we've played himself the last you know, three or

2126
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:36,160
Speaker 1: four games I've been here, and for whatever, I don't

2127
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 1: know what they have over in the sideline, like a

2128
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,120
Speaker 1: now button, but they figure out how to how to

2129
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 1: win in the third and fourth quarter. So that's something

2130
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 1: that we just haven't been able to figure out quite yet.

2131
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 1: Obviously we got out there, you know, he was able

2132
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 1: to get him down a couple of times, get off

2133
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 1: the field on third downs, and really make them kick

2134
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,960
Speaker 1: some field goals in the red zone. Actually missed one

2135
01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:55,559
Speaker 1: as well. That really helped us out as well going

2136
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:57,519
Speaker 1: into a halftime, so they couldn't double dip on us.

2137
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 1: So those are things that we did win, but we

2138
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a turnover, which you oftentimes need to be

2139
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:04,760
Speaker 1: the team like that. We had one ball on the

2140
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:06,720
Speaker 1: ground and wasn't able to get to it. That it

2141
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,679
Speaker 1: took points off the board and gave our offense another opportunity. Yeah,

2142
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 1: Milano missed us picks, but a lot of people think

2143
01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 1: would have been a pick six if you could he

2144
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 1: turned around, he nicks. You don't expect when Brady's throwing it,

2145
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 1: you don't expect to her around and have it going

2146
01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:20,240
Speaker 1: at the defender rather than at the right spot of

2147
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I ain't cut him off guard. Yeah, that

2148
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 1: caught him off guard. I think may might have had one.

2149
01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:26,920
Speaker 1: We had the opportunity to get his hand down the middle. Yeah,

2150
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 1: he kind of missed time he jumped and him was

2151
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 1: coming down. It was just just a weird, you know,

2152
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 1: kind of time to the ball there, you know, ball

2153
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: at night and stuff. So we had our opportunities and

2154
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 1: you and he's going to give you those chances. You

2155
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 1: have to capitalize, and we didn't do it on either

2156
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:43,760
Speaker 1: three of those plays. We had the fumble and those

2157
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 1: two obosudans to pick him off. And yet there's no

2158
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: sense from listening to people talk on your defense about

2159
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:50,880
Speaker 1: we're kind of holding up our end of the bargain.

2160
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean you see the struggles the offense has, right, Yeah,

2161
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean we all see that. We all wish we

2162
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 1: were scoring more points. But I think going into it,

2163
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: we were prepared for our offense to have not to

2164
01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:01,760
Speaker 1: be as explosive we had. We knew they're going to

2165
01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:03,880
Speaker 1: be young. It's gonna have a rookie quarterback at some point.

2166
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 1: Obviously Native has been in there, Josh has been in there,

2167
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 1: hurt now, and then you have a guy like Derek

2168
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: Anderson who who's been in this league and has the

2169
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:14,120
Speaker 1: ability to play play well, but it's only been here

2170
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 1: two three weeks, so it's hard to have I guess,

2171
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:26,280
Speaker 1: great expectations or explosiveness when the most important guy is

2172
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 1: either young or your shuffling. There's no consistency at that position.

2173
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 1: So we understand that we accept the challenge and we

2174
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 1: expect each and every single week to give our team

2175
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 1: a chance to win. And although we're playing well, we

2176
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:39,640
Speaker 1: still feel like there's more in the tank. You just

2177
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 1: mentioned three plays that where we could have took it

2178
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:44,920
Speaker 1: to the next level, And when you see elite defenses,

2179
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 1: that's what they do. They don't allow those opportunities to

2180
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:50,680
Speaker 1: pass them buy No matter how you know how you're

2181
01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:53,519
Speaker 1: doing doing great. We want to do better. How big

2182
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 1: an adjustment both in personnel and in scheme is it

2183
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:59,519
Speaker 1: gonna be if Tremaine is not on the field. It's huge.

2184
01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:01,680
Speaker 1: Obviously there is nobody that's walking around the building that's

2185
01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:04,680
Speaker 1: six to five long and that can run, uh and

2186
01:44:04,680 --> 01:44:09,320
Speaker 1: that can hit like he can. But right, but um,

2187
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Julian Stafford stepped in last week. I

2188
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:14,240
Speaker 1: think thought he did an excellent job coming in playing

2189
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 1: against you know, one of the best, you know, Tom Brady,

2190
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 1: and got the defense call, got our checks. And this

2191
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 1: week he has the whole week to kind of prepare

2192
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 1: for it and be ready and go out there with

2193
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,439
Speaker 1: even more confidence. And he's had a great week of

2194
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 1: practice and we expect him to do the same thing

2195
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,160
Speaker 1: he did last week. That question for you about Nathan

2196
01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 1: Peterman obviously opposite the side of the ball. My contention

2197
01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:36,519
Speaker 1: all week, Steve's heard me say this now fifty times.

2198
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 1: People think they know who he is and what kind

2199
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:41,320
Speaker 1: of a quarterback is. This is only his fourth start,

2200
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:43,840
Speaker 1: He's only played three games, and although the narrative is,

2201
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,720
Speaker 1: let's the guy who coughs it up, I don't know

2202
01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:48,400
Speaker 1: that that's the case. You know, he said two rough

2203
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 1: couple of rough games. But let's see him play a

2204
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:52,200
Speaker 1: little bit right and and we're going back to the

2205
01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 1: lowdown here is changed the offensive narrative, especially with Nate

2206
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:01,880
Speaker 1: being the court back this week. I think we have

2207
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: to go out and make a play early for him

2208
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:06,400
Speaker 1: in the run game and in the past game. Somebody

2209
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: has to make a big play and get his confidence

2210
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:10,400
Speaker 1: going because I know right now, even though it's the

2211
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 1: new game, in the back of his mind and everybody's

2212
01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:15,639
Speaker 1: mind is when is it going to happen? When am

2213
01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:18,680
Speaker 1: I gonna throw interception? Whenever? When is something bad going

2214
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:20,560
Speaker 1: to happen? And we have to be able to overcome

2215
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 1: that this week and really change that and not going

2216
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 1: to the mindset with that. We're going out there to

2217
01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: make plays and I know that's going to be hard,

2218
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 1: but we got to help him, rally around him, give

2219
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 1: him opportunities, and if he does make a mistake, oh,

2220
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:36,000
Speaker 1: we can't have that on the sylum. Come on, baby,

2221
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:37,600
Speaker 1: we got to go right back out there, get over it.

2222
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,960
Speaker 1: Let's go and not allow it to steam roll a

2223
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:43,760
Speaker 1: snowball on us, because that's that's the feeling I get

2224
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 1: when he gets put in the game. Sometimes you know,

2225
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:47,559
Speaker 1: you can just feel it, like when is it going

2226
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 1: to happen? We just have that mindset at all. We

2227
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 1: just had that exact same conversation. She's gotta shrug it off. Yeah,

2228
01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: And I know that at times now when it's young,

2229
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: particularly playing quarterback, you think, well, gosh, I gotta take

2230
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,639
Speaker 1: it's all on me anyway, I gotta you know, yeah,

2231
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 1: and that still have to get to that point where

2232
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:02,800
Speaker 1: it's talking about it. It's not going to bother you.

2233
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,360
Speaker 1: And I think that's important for us this week defensively,

2234
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 1: is not have the game type, make him kickfield goals,

2235
01:46:08,600 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 1: keep the game tight, so he doesn't feel like he

2236
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:12,960
Speaker 1: has to play outside of himself, because I think when

2237
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:15,640
Speaker 1: anybody does that, that's when you start making mistakes that

2238
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:19,559
Speaker 1: you're normally not accustomed to making. You know. Um On Nathan,

2239
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 1: he has to bounce back from that, and he has.

2240
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:24,639
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I started to show sayings and Steve,

2241
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: he's got to finish the game, no matter where. Burthday

2242
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 1: just got here Wednesday, Nathan three searches. You have to

2243
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 1: finish one of those games. He's got to play well,

2244
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: and he's got to finish this Sunday, I think, right,

2245
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 1: He's got to get no right and and that's on

2246
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 1: all of us. We gotta catch for him. We can't

2247
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 1: put the ball on the ground, you know, we gotta

2248
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 1: run well. The offensive line needs to protect him. And

2249
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's four or five six seconds.

2250
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:47,519
Speaker 1: We got to step up this week and take our

2251
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 1: game to another level and find a way to win this.

2252
01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:50,760
Speaker 1: That one more question I wanted to ask you, and

2253
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 1: I'd almost forgotten about it. And during the game this

2254
01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 1: last Monday night, pages run this misdirection and Tom Brady

2255
01:46:57,280 --> 01:46:59,800
Speaker 1: comes out and he's gonna trend and kind of block

2256
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 1: on you anyday. Yeah, he just kind of got the

2257
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 1: wa Yeah, yeah, I only it's one of those players

2258
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 1: where he really didn't want to hit me. He was

2259
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 1: just trying to get in my way and I didn't know.

2260
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 1: I knew it was yeah at all. Yeah, I'm trying

2261
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 1: to get to Edelman. I don't get out my way,

2262
01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:16,360
Speaker 1: and he did a good job. I didn't make the play,

2263
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 1: you know, but you want he did that, but he

2264
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:22,080
Speaker 1: admitted to it. You know, he wasn't you know, he

2265
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:24,519
Speaker 1: didn't block me anything. So it's I don't have you know,

2266
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:27,040
Speaker 1: that's what. He didn't even get you on the ground either.

2267
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:28,320
Speaker 1: At that time. I had to get in my way,

2268
01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 1: so I couldn't get at all. But I made the

2269
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: ball bounce and then our guys running to the ball

2270
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 1: and we got to it the way the league protects

2271
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:36,839
Speaker 1: quarterbacks more than ever. Now. When you get a quarterback

2272
01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 1: and a free shot in the open field like that,

2273
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: does it go through your mind? It out like, here's

2274
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:44,120
Speaker 1: the shot that I'll never get again. Really, I mean,

2275
01:47:44,160 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get the ball. Care I wasn't even worry.

2276
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,599
Speaker 1: I knew he was there. I'm like, oh, he's about

2277
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 1: to try to block me, so I'm about to try

2278
01:47:50,120 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 1: to run through him. But I'm not. I wasn't trying

2279
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:54,800
Speaker 1: to give him any extra or anything because I was

2280
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: too worried about trying to get to Edelman. Okay, all right,

2281
01:47:57,439 --> 01:48:00,519
Speaker 1: that makes sense. But that's what's important that we've already

2282
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 1: I've already Yeah, the loaddown. The first one was changing

2283
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:07,879
Speaker 1: the offensive narrative. Lowdown number two. Awareness of where Tarikko

2284
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:09,280
Speaker 1: and the lines. What do you mean by that? I

2285
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:12,720
Speaker 1: know he talked about can earlier takes on me, but yeah,

2286
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just having awareness because because he's such a

2287
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 1: big play threat and he's unusual as being five six

2288
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:22,800
Speaker 1: in his scat and can be anywhere at any times,

2289
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,160
Speaker 1: has the potential to be a line up a number

2290
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:26,960
Speaker 1: one and run a fade route on the linebacker, be

2291
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 1: in the backfield and run some type of screenplay. We

2292
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: just have to have our eyes on him because we

2293
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:32,960
Speaker 1: know that they want to get into the ball because

2294
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 1: he can be a catalyst to that offense. Are there

2295
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:39,519
Speaker 1: any tips and and alerts where if he lines up here,

2296
01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:41,840
Speaker 1: look for this play. I mean certainly they've probably got

2297
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 1: all that down the list, because that's that's what finding

2298
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:46,439
Speaker 1: them saying, well he's out here, look for this Yeah,

2299
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:48,240
Speaker 1: the number one. When when he put him at number

2300
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 1: one and they go empty and we were let's say

2301
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:52,599
Speaker 1: we're playing cover one or teams are playing cover one,

2302
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,920
Speaker 1: you have a linebacker lined up on him. Most of

2303
01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:57,400
Speaker 1: the time he's running the fade route, and he can run.

2304
01:48:57,439 --> 01:48:59,120
Speaker 1: He's fast, so we know he's going to take it

2305
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:03,559
Speaker 1: off if they if he's in the backfield, especially down

2306
01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 1: the red zone, they tend to run a lot of

2307
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:12,720
Speaker 1: misdirection shovel pass zone read, get your eyes mixed up,

2308
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 1: and then maybe dump off a screen on the backside.

2309
01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 1: If he's at the slot in a three by one formation,

2310
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,639
Speaker 1: so he's the number two receiver, they're good for running

2311
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 1: like like a bubble screen to him. Orf he's at

2312
01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:23,680
Speaker 1: number three, run a bubble screen to him, just to

2313
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 1: get him in space and create that returner type of

2314
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:28,920
Speaker 1: play for him to where he can get in space,

2315
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,639
Speaker 1: make guys miss and then try to hit a home run. Yeah,

2316
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:33,559
Speaker 1: all right, low down number three. And this deals with

2317
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:37,439
Speaker 1: the quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, second year quarterback for a Chicago

2318
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: don't allow him to extend plays. What are you have

2319
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 1: in mind there? Right? So you know when you think

2320
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 1: about Trubisky, I don't think anybody thinks of him as

2321
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:48,600
Speaker 1: being a mobile guy. But on film he has I

2322
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:51,719
Speaker 1: want to say, ran four seven or eight first downs

2323
01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:56,240
Speaker 1: on third down, and that is a defensive killer when

2324
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,639
Speaker 1: you have everything locked up and then the quarterback gets

2325
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 1: out and extends a drive and now you're on the

2326
01:50:00,479 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 1: field for maybe another four or five plays, or maybe

2327
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:05,559
Speaker 1: they now get into field, arrange and kick a field

2328
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 1: goal and give up points. So we have to have obviously,

2329
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:13,840
Speaker 1: um great rush angles and pursuit lanes and have great

2330
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 1: eyes on him because as soon as you take away

2331
01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:17,160
Speaker 1: his first option, he wants to be able to do

2332
01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 1: this run the ball, and you see he's not even sliding.

2333
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,160
Speaker 1: If you're at home watching this on TV. He's a

2334
01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 1: guy that wants to shake spin off. You die for

2335
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:26,040
Speaker 1: the first down, and we have to make him pay

2336
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 1: when he decides he want runs for him they do.

2337
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:33,160
Speaker 1: They do some read zone stuff, which is a piece

2338
01:50:33,200 --> 01:50:35,760
Speaker 1: of their offense, but that doesn't hurt you as much

2339
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:38,360
Speaker 1: as when he when you have everything locked up in

2340
01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:41,200
Speaker 1: his third and seven to eight and then he scrambles

2341
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 1: for the first down and now he's like, oh man,

2342
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 1: now he kind of started back over only Kim Newton

2343
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 1: more rushing yards. Ry this just in over over the

2344
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: injury report. The Bears outside linebacker Khalil Mack with his

2345
01:50:53,240 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 1: right knee, wide receiver Alan Robinson with his groiner questionable

2346
01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:59,920
Speaker 1: for Sunday's game here in Buffalo, and also defensive tackle

2347
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:03,519
Speaker 1: Balal Nichols is also he missed his second straight practice today.

2348
01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 1: The all three of those guys are questionable. And we

2349
01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:10,040
Speaker 1: were talking to one of the media people from Chicago,

2350
01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 1: and you know, people in Chicago, you know, are not

2351
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:14,800
Speaker 1: taking the Bills offense very seriously. They want Khalil Mack

2352
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 1: not even to come to Buffalo. They want to waste

2353
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 1: it because they've got eleven games eleven days and three

2354
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: games coming up, and two of them and they're all

2355
01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:26,880
Speaker 1: three division games. It's Detroit, Minnesota, Detroit. So the thought

2356
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 1: there is that, you know, this team Chicago is good

2357
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:35,160
Speaker 1: enough to beat this team Buffalo without those guys. Do

2358
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,599
Speaker 1: you guys hear all that. I didn't hear that until

2359
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:43,839
Speaker 1: just now, but giving a reaction reactively, Yeah, they're considering.

2360
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:46,559
Speaker 1: They're chocking this up as a win already. Probably, But well,

2361
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:48,360
Speaker 1: I've been around this league long enough to know that

2362
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 1: you can't look past anybody, and most coaches understand that

2363
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:54,200
Speaker 1: as well. Um, does that make my fire burn a

2364
01:51:54,200 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit more? Not? Not really, because it's media talking.

2365
01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:58,040
Speaker 1: It's one thing for players to say something and another

2366
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,760
Speaker 1: thing for members of the media to say. They're making

2367
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:03,120
Speaker 1: their observations, and I get it. I mean that's part

2368
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:06,599
Speaker 1: of their job. So uh, I know our guys are

2369
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to go. We gotta play. So it's

2370
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:13,880
Speaker 1: always different when players say things versus people outside of

2371
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, the organizations that are playing each other for

2372
01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:19,000
Speaker 1: the first time the season, back to back home games,

2373
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:20,800
Speaker 1: that's gotta feel pretty good. Huh. Yeah, it's good. I

2374
01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:23,080
Speaker 1: mean don't have to get on the plane or anything

2375
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 1: like that after a game. So that's always good for

2376
01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:26,920
Speaker 1: the body, especially for me because I don't travel as

2377
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:29,599
Speaker 1: well as I used to because it's a short week.

2378
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:32,640
Speaker 1: That's positively Yeah, because I know that the pages had

2379
01:52:32,680 --> 01:52:35,040
Speaker 1: to get home probably like five five o'clock or something

2380
01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 1: on Monday, and you know, and they have a home

2381
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: game this week, but it's that's that's hard to do

2382
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:42,280
Speaker 1: and get back and be ready and fresh. Yeah, Saturday's

2383
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:45,480
Speaker 1: because that is an extra day at home, and Saturday's

2384
01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:47,760
Speaker 1: a better day. You don't have to travel, you got

2385
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:50,080
Speaker 1: you can relax, you know, hang with the family a

2386
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 1: little bit and just you know, kind of get away

2387
01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:54,080
Speaker 1: from the game versus flying that can dehydrate you a

2388
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:57,400
Speaker 1: little bit, get you tight, and so um, all those

2389
01:52:57,439 --> 01:53:00,400
Speaker 1: things are obviously not conducing to go out there playing well. Sunday.

2390
01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:02,439
Speaker 1: And with the home game, you have a special group

2391
01:53:02,479 --> 01:53:05,000
Speaker 1: of people attending the game this week. You have a

2392
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:10,479
Speaker 1: group coming up from the Canton, Ohio area. Um, Inspiring Minds.

2393
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:12,599
Speaker 1: I have a good friend, Derek Toles that played at

2394
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:16,600
Speaker 1: Penn State linebacker, was there like in two thousand and fours,

2395
01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:19,240
Speaker 1: and he's a native of that area and has started

2396
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 1: an organization called the Inspiring Minds working with inner city

2397
01:53:22,160 --> 01:53:25,000
Speaker 1: youth and invited his a group of twenty people from

2398
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:27,360
Speaker 1: his organization to come up and check out the game

2399
01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:29,280
Speaker 1: and hang out and hopefully we can check out the

2400
01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:31,160
Speaker 1: facility after and be on the field as long as

2401
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,360
Speaker 1: the weather permissing. Right now, it looks like it's not

2402
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:36,439
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, it should be pretty dry and yeah, yeah,

2403
01:53:36,479 --> 01:53:38,599

Speaker 1: actually had that vision today. Okay, that's what I said.

2416

Speaker 1: Great to have you here. Lorenzo Alexander The Lowdown every Friday.

2421
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:31,479
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo

Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Well, I'm back One Bill Slide from One

2423
01:54:47,360 --> 01:54:50,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. John Murphy, Steve Tasker in our one Buffalo

2424
01:54:50,160 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 1: Studio seeb you're you're hitting the road that celebrating the

2425
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:56,960
Speaker 1: fact that we're here and get the play. Get to

2426
01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:59,440
Speaker 1: be around for two straight home games. Not so much

2427
01:54:59,440 --> 01:55:01,160
Speaker 1: for Steve tak Or. He gets no home games. He's

2428
01:55:01,160 --> 01:55:05,760
Speaker 1: like a fisher. You're like a referee, right, no home games. Yeah,

2429
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 1: people hate me more than they do official. No, I

2430
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:11,720
Speaker 1: don't think so. I'm going out to Seattle. I've got

2431
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:15,840
Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers. Oh gosh, wow, did I the

2432
01:55:15,880 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers In Seattle to play Russell Wilson and

2433
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:24,920
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and should be a good game. It's

2434
01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 1: four and three Seahawks at home against the five and

2435
01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:31,800
Speaker 1: two Chargers. And the Chargers really they're the team in

2436
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:34,480
Speaker 1: the in the AFC that's chasing down the Chiefs. Yeah,

2437
01:55:34,520 --> 01:55:36,680
Speaker 1: and they're you know, yeah, I mean it's it's gonna

2438
01:55:36,680 --> 01:55:38,360
Speaker 1: be hard. They're in the same division too, so it's

2439
01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to watch those two battle it out.

2440
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:43,120
Speaker 1: I think they're two playoff teams headed for each other.

2441
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't think the Chiefs defense is nearly as good

2442
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:50,840
Speaker 1: or effective as the Chargers defense, but man o man,

2443
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:53,200
Speaker 1: their offense is even better than Chargers offense, even with

2444
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:55,360
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers pulling the trigger for the Chargers. So it'll

2445
01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 1: be fun to see that race take shape. But for

2446
01:55:57,840 --> 01:56:01,480
Speaker 1: this weekend in Seattle and Bills fans remember this from

2447
01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:02,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when the Bills went out

2448
01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:05,360
Speaker 1: to Seattle for a Monday night game. It's a tough venue,

2449
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:09,080
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Cloud great city, tough venue, ye, and I'm

2450
01:56:09,080 --> 01:56:11,720
Speaker 1: looking forward to that game. Hey, Steve ran it right

2451
01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:13,640
Speaker 1: it off. When Lorenzo was sitting here a few minutes ago,

2452
01:56:13,720 --> 01:56:17,200
Speaker 1: the injury report from the Bears. The Bills isn't out yet,

2453
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:20,400
Speaker 1: but Khalil Mack questionable for the game on Sunday. Wide

2454
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:23,200
Speaker 1: receiver Allen Robinson with a groin injury questionable. Neither one

2455
01:56:23,240 --> 01:56:25,600
Speaker 1: of them played last week. Both of them were officially

2456
01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 1: limited and practice today. Defensive tackle Malal Nichols missed his

2457
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 1: second straight practice today. He is questionable as well. Now,

2458
01:56:33,080 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll has been up for a couple of hours,

2459
01:56:35,200 --> 01:56:37,440
Speaker 1: let's revisit that, maybe get a few phone calls on that.

2460
01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:39,920
Speaker 1: If the Bills should win, and yeah, it'll be tough

2461
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 1: to win this game, It'll be tough for the Bills

2462
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 1: to win any games this year. But if they should

2463
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:46,840
Speaker 1: win this Sunday, which player under the radar player do

2464
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:48,400
Speaker 1: you think I'll have the most to do with that?

2465
01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:51,400
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight three fifty toll free one

2466
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:54,000
Speaker 1: eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty. If the

2467
01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 1: Bills went on Sunday, which under the radar player will

2468
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:00,320
Speaker 1: be the reason? On Twitter? With almost a thousand votes

2469
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:02,560
Speaker 1: in fifty eight percent of you say it'd be Nathan Peterman.

2470
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 1: Twenty one percent say to be the new wide receiver

2471
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:08,480
Speaker 1: Tourell Prior fourteen percent of somebody else in mind seven

2472
01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:10,720
Speaker 1: percent say Shack Lawson and we'll take your phone calls

2473
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 1: on that too, eight oh three five fifty and toll

2474
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:15,760
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two fifty. I

2475
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:18,600
Speaker 1: know we you know, we kind of work ourselves up

2476
01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:21,280
Speaker 1: every week. You know. Then in particularly after a tough loss,

2477
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:23,120
Speaker 1: like on Monday night, when you come back in, you

2478
01:57:23,200 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 1: talk yourself back into thinking, Okay, the Bills have got

2479
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:29,600
Speaker 1: a shot in this game, and you murph, you really

2480
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:35,839
Speaker 1: feel good about this game. Don't sugarcoat it. It's winnable.

2481
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Bills are as bad as

2482
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:40,480
Speaker 1: many people think. I don't think Nathan Peterman is as

2483
01:57:40,520 --> 01:57:42,520
Speaker 1: bad as many people think. And I don't think the

2484
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 1: Bears are as good as some people think. So yeah,

2485
01:57:44,640 --> 01:57:46,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot even more even matchup than

2486
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:49,080
Speaker 1: you might think. I think, given as a home game

2487
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:54,040
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills and Chicago's offense is I think

2488
01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:57,600
Speaker 1: overmatched against Bills defense too. That's what I think. I

2489
01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:59,840
Speaker 1: think that's what this game is gonna look like. If

2490
01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 1: there's any way or any any anything happens, it goes

2491
01:58:03,480 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 1: to Bill's favor, Like the turnover margin, or the Buffalo

2492
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:10,080
Speaker 1: Bills don't turn it over, or if if the Bills

2493
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:12,280
Speaker 1: can score a touchdown here or there. I think this

2494
01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 1: is going to be a game where the Bills defense

2495
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:15,920
Speaker 1: does get a reward for playing as well as it

2496
01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:19,120
Speaker 1: has in these games coming up to this. I do

2497
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 1: think the Bills defense is way better than the Bear offense.

2498
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna show through, and I think

2499
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:28,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be what could carry the day for the Buffalo.

2500
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:30,240
Speaker 1: And I know the Bills have had terrible problems offensively

2501
01:58:30,320 --> 01:58:32,400
Speaker 1: this year, but let me repeat the Bears four wins

2502
01:58:32,400 --> 01:58:34,240
Speaker 1: that year, four wins, three losses. Who do they beat?

2503
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:37,800
Speaker 1: They beat Seattle at home by seven, they beat Tampa

2504
01:58:37,840 --> 01:58:42,800
Speaker 1: Bay at home by a lot, They beat um Arizona

2505
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:45,760
Speaker 1: by two points at Arizona, and they beat the Jets

2506
01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:47,920
Speaker 1: by fourteen last week. A horrible game. I just watched

2507
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:50,280
Speaker 1: it the other day. It's not like they've been mowing

2508
01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 1: people down the Chicago Bears. That's all I'm trying to

2509
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:55,640
Speaker 1: say here. I don't know what kind of game Seattle

2510
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:59,160
Speaker 1: put on, but that's really the class of their their wins,

2511
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:01,560
Speaker 1: much like Buffalo, and they're two wins. They've got they

2512
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:04,320
Speaker 1: beat the Vikings, who who were considered one of the

2513
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:08,200
Speaker 1: favorites in the NFC, Tampa Bay, New York and Arizona.

2514
01:59:08,200 --> 01:59:11,800
Speaker 1: Arizona is you know, their number thirty two in the league. Um,

2515
01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:17,040
Speaker 1: that's not a real signature win if you're the Chicago Bears.

2516
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:19,160
Speaker 1: But there you have it. And that's why I think.

2517
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:20,800
Speaker 1: I think the Bills defense is gonna show up, and

2518
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna show up in a big way.

2519
01:59:22,120 --> 01:59:25,080
Speaker 1: The crowd's gonna help him, the venue's gonna help him. Uh.

2520
01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, the Buffalo is gonna show up to support

2521
01:59:27,840 --> 01:59:30,560
Speaker 1: the Bills in Orchard Park, and it's gonna be a

2522
01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:32,160
Speaker 1: tough place for them to get a win. That's gonna

2523
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:35,280
Speaker 1: be make it tough on a second year starting quarterback

2524
01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:40,120
Speaker 1: in Mitch Trubisky to get things done. Um yeah, I I,

2525
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:42,840
Speaker 1: you and I both. We've had a lot of good

2526
01:59:42,840 --> 01:59:46,400
Speaker 1: things to feel about this game. Um. Let alone the

2527
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:49,520
Speaker 1: fact that you want redemption for their quarterback, Bills quarterback

2528
01:59:49,600 --> 01:59:51,920
Speaker 1: so much, UM like you and I do. I mean,

2529
01:59:51,960 --> 01:59:54,200
Speaker 1: we'd love to see that guy get some love story.

2530
01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:56,640
Speaker 1: And I too, I love the story. But I also

2531
01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:58,520
Speaker 1: think he's got a chance with the defense that the

2532
01:59:58,520 --> 02:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Bills are putting out there. I'm you're not talking about

2533
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:03,600
Speaker 1: this all day. It always boils down to that this

2534
02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Bill's defense gives them a chance. Ye. Let's take a

2535
02:00:06,600 --> 02:00:08,880
Speaker 1: call or two here. Let's go to Kevin and Buffalo. Hi, Kevin,

2536
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:13,880
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Hey, how are you guys? Good? Good? Hey?

2537
02:00:13,920 --> 02:00:16,000
Speaker 1: I just want to kind of throw stuffing out there.

2538
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:21,640
Speaker 1: You know, it just seems that in buff Wall the

2539
02:00:21,720 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 1: fans are kind of satisfied if the team puts up

2540
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:28,200
Speaker 1: a fight, whether it's the Bills or the Sabers. A

2541
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:31,600
Speaker 1: lot of big markets and that radio shows are just

2542
02:00:31,840 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 1: tearing people apart. Here. We listen about what a great

2543
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:36,920
Speaker 1: effort we have in a you know, a nineteen point

2544
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:40,840
Speaker 1: loss to arrival, or how things are going on the

2545
02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 1: right track. We never hear from the ownership. The Bagoulas

2546
02:00:44,200 --> 02:00:47,080
Speaker 1: seemed to kind of hide or whatever, And it just

2547
02:00:47,120 --> 02:00:50,520
Speaker 1: seems like everybody kind of buys into like nothing's broken

2548
02:00:50,640 --> 02:00:54,520
Speaker 1: and then nothing ever gets fixed. I gotta disagree with that,

2549
02:00:54,640 --> 02:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Kevin in a big way. We hear people complain all

2550
02:00:56,800 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 1: the time every day here, and I don't them the

2551
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:02,400
Speaker 1: way the Bills have played, I don't really pay attention

2552
02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:04,280
Speaker 1: to much of the Sabers talk. But no, I don't

2553
02:01:04,280 --> 02:01:06,880
Speaker 1: think people are shy about complaining about the bills, and

2554
02:01:06,920 --> 02:01:09,320
Speaker 1: I think there are enough forums for that too, including

2555
02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 1: this show right here, right in the middle of the building.

2556
02:01:11,520 --> 02:01:13,640
Speaker 1: If one bill's drive, I disagree with that. Yeah, don't

2557
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:16,320
Speaker 1: don't be misled by the fact that you hear Jerry

2558
02:01:16,360 --> 02:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Jones talking all the time or other owners which I

2559
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:20,760
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know who it would be um

2560
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:23,400
Speaker 1: or like Wellington Marra a couple of weeks ago got

2561
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:28,760
Speaker 1: caught saying two sentences about um Odell Beckham junior owners

2562
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:31,560
Speaker 1: in the National Football League notoriously don't talk to the

2563
02:01:31,600 --> 02:01:33,880
Speaker 1: media or anybody else. They don't have the time or

2564
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 1: take the time to do it. You'll hear You'll hear

2565
02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:37,120
Speaker 1: one or two of them to do it. What are

2566
02:01:37,120 --> 02:01:39,200
Speaker 1: you doing Monday? You're doing some speaking to your parents

2567
02:01:39,240 --> 02:01:42,680
Speaker 1: with Kim Pogoula, Right. That's that's different though it's not.

2568
02:01:42,840 --> 02:01:45,640
Speaker 1: That's not speaking about the team. That's about business. That's

2569
02:01:45,640 --> 02:01:47,720
Speaker 1: about business leaders, you know. I mean, that's it's an

2570
02:01:47,720 --> 02:01:52,080
Speaker 1: event that she's taken part in. But it's not like

2571
02:01:52,200 --> 02:01:56,320
Speaker 1: giving interviews to the media. Heat there hiding. No, they're

2572
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:58,760
Speaker 1: out there, right, I mean, yeah, yeah, they don't hide.

2573
02:01:58,920 --> 02:02:01,320
Speaker 1: And you know they're pub like figures. But by the

2574
02:02:01,360 --> 02:02:05,400
Speaker 1: same token, even though Kim Pagoula is an executive, she's

2575
02:02:05,440 --> 02:02:09,960
Speaker 1: not doing public interviews. Um, they don't. And they don't

2576
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:11,840
Speaker 1: once in a while Kim didn't want a couple of

2577
02:02:11,840 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Right. But they don't hide. I mean they don't.

2578
02:02:14,600 --> 02:02:17,920
Speaker 1: And most ownership, most ownership, Yeah, and the ownership is

2579
02:02:17,920 --> 02:02:21,920
Speaker 1: not hiding here and then neither is. It's just notoriously

2580
02:02:21,920 --> 02:02:23,880
Speaker 1: something They let football people handle it. They let the

2581
02:02:23,880 --> 02:02:27,040
Speaker 1: general managers and the head coaches particular handle the voice

2582
02:02:27,040 --> 02:02:29,200
Speaker 1: of the team. Um, and that's why it is. So

2583
02:02:29,320 --> 02:02:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't yeah, I don't get that. That's not that's

2584
02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:35,680
Speaker 1: not true. And and and like you said, the caller,

2585
02:02:35,760 --> 02:02:39,040
Speaker 1: Kevin said, you know, people are just happy that they're giving.

2586
02:02:39,400 --> 02:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Believe me, people aren't happy. They are not happy. On

2587
02:02:42,320 --> 02:02:45,240
Speaker 1: this show, we hear a lot of unhappy people who

2588
02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:48,640
Speaker 1: are not satisfied with the bills. Just given a token

2589
02:02:48,680 --> 02:02:50,640
Speaker 1: effort or a good effort for a good reason, and

2590
02:02:50,720 --> 02:02:52,560
Speaker 1: for good reason, they shouldn't be there. You know, the

2591
02:02:52,640 --> 02:02:55,400
Speaker 1: expectations are going to start to rise. Uh, and they

2592
02:02:55,400 --> 02:02:58,120
Speaker 1: are and they're very high um every week. I mean,

2593
02:02:58,160 --> 02:03:00,840
Speaker 1: the people inside this building, the players, Rins, Alexander, we

2594
02:03:00,960 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: just had on. They expect to win these games, and

2595
02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:07,480
Speaker 1: when they're not, they're bitterly disappointed. There's a lot of

2596
02:03:07,800 --> 02:03:11,440
Speaker 1: solid people who are working really hard to get this

2597
02:03:11,480 --> 02:03:14,080
Speaker 1: team to a point where they win games more often

2598
02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:17,480
Speaker 1: than they lose. And it's it's hard work right now,

2599
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:20,600
Speaker 1: as you can imagine you A call here from Joshua

2600
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:23,880
Speaker 1: in Perry, New York. Hello, Joshuall go ahead, all right,

2601
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:26,400
Speaker 1: josh Nice to talk with you guys again. I want

2602
02:03:26,480 --> 02:03:29,800
Speaker 1: to talk about Nathan Peterman a little bit, and I actually,

2603
02:03:29,840 --> 02:03:32,040
Speaker 1: I know it's not a popular opinion right now, but

2604
02:03:32,200 --> 02:03:35,840
Speaker 1: I actually like him more than most and the reason

2605
02:03:36,040 --> 02:03:38,880
Speaker 1: is I actually saw him when he played it PIT,

2606
02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:41,200
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people really haven't seen

2607
02:03:41,240 --> 02:03:44,040
Speaker 1: any of those games, are seeing any of that film.

2608
02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I think that their impression that they have is that

2609
02:03:47,440 --> 02:03:50,760
Speaker 1: Los Angeles game where you throw through those interceptions, and

2610
02:03:50,840 --> 02:03:52,840
Speaker 1: of course, like you want to play better than that.

2611
02:03:52,880 --> 02:03:55,160
Speaker 1: But I think he's quite capable of it, and it

2612
02:03:55,200 --> 02:03:58,120
Speaker 1: has already shown that. When I look at josh Allen,

2613
02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:01,400
Speaker 1: I see a superb athlete. But I don't really see

2614
02:04:01,480 --> 02:04:04,880
Speaker 1: him playing and I'm not trying to get on a

2615
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:08,160
Speaker 1: rookie here, but I don't see him playing the quarterback position.

2616
02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:11,000
Speaker 1: But when I see Nathan Peterman, I see that at

2617
02:04:11,040 --> 02:04:16,480
Speaker 1: times he does have a more comprehensive take on that position,

2618
02:04:16,600 --> 02:04:19,960
Speaker 1: and I do see the offense going a little smoother.

2619
02:04:21,320 --> 02:04:23,200
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, Nate Peterman is going to

2620
02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:25,960
Speaker 1: have to do it with his brain. He's gonna have

2621
02:04:25,960 --> 02:04:28,000
Speaker 1: to do it with great decision making and making the

2622
02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:30,040
Speaker 1: right throws at the right time because he's not going

2623
02:04:30,080 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 1: to be able to gun it into a tight window

2624
02:04:32,040 --> 02:04:34,640
Speaker 1: down the field where Josh Allen can make throws like that.

2625
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:37,240
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen is a raw young guy they and

2626
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 1: they knew that when they drafted him, and a lot

2627
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:43,160
Speaker 1: of people wanted him. I've heard from another team that

2628
02:04:43,240 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 1: they loved Josh Allen and wish they could have gotten him.

2629
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:52,080
Speaker 1: So and you're right, Nathan Peterman did play well at

2630
02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:54,480
Speaker 1: pitt But listen, he's gonna have to start to play

2631
02:04:54,520 --> 02:04:58,400
Speaker 1: better in Buffalo in order to extend his career here

2632
02:04:58,440 --> 02:05:02,000
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. They're a lot of people I'm not included

2633
02:05:02,040 --> 02:05:03,440
Speaker 1: in this, but I've heard, You've heard a lot of

2634
02:05:03,440 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 1: people on this radio show and his social media say, listen,

2635
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:09,720
Speaker 1: he shouldn't even be on the team, and you know,

2636
02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:13,320
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, he is. And in fact, I'm

2637
02:05:13,320 --> 02:05:15,160
Speaker 1: pretty sure there's some people in this room thinking in

2638
02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:19,000
Speaker 1: this building, not this room, but in this building, there's

2639
02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:21,000
Speaker 1: some people in this building. They're they're happy this week

2640
02:05:21,040 --> 02:05:23,200
Speaker 1: that they've got him. At least he knows the offense

2641
02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:25,600
Speaker 1: and he can function as a quarterback and they can

2642
02:05:25,640 --> 02:05:27,640
Speaker 1: call all the plays and do everything they want to

2643
02:05:27,640 --> 02:05:31,120
Speaker 1: do offensively because he knows the offense. They've gotten two

2644
02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:33,800
Speaker 1: guys injured and now that's that's what they're up against.

2645
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, they need him, they need him, and that's

2646
02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:39,960
Speaker 1: as bad as that sounds for some people out there

2647
02:05:39,960 --> 02:05:42,440
Speaker 1: who can't get the bad play out of their out

2648
02:05:42,440 --> 02:05:44,520
Speaker 1: of their mind, and who you know, have this doom

2649
02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:46,839
Speaker 1: and gloom attitude and all of this stuff, and there's

2650
02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 1: they just don't see any possible way Nathan Peterman can

2651
02:05:50,400 --> 02:05:52,960
Speaker 1: ever play quarterback well at all. There's all there's people

2652
02:05:52,960 --> 02:05:54,800
Speaker 1: out there who chime in on that. I get it.

2653
02:05:55,320 --> 02:05:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't see it that way, and neither do the

2654
02:05:57,040 --> 02:05:59,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills They've seen too much good, too many good

2655
02:05:59,840 --> 02:06:03,280
Speaker 1: things from him on and off the field to kick

2656
02:06:03,360 --> 02:06:06,560
Speaker 1: him to the curb, particularly in this situation with with

2657
02:06:06,600 --> 02:06:09,520
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, where they've got two guys hurt and he's

2658
02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:11,880
Speaker 1: the last guy standing. I mean, they're happy to have him.

2659
02:06:12,040 --> 02:06:13,800
Speaker 1: I have a guy that they can actually go out

2660
02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:16,360
Speaker 1: and the rest of the team doesn't have to learn,

2661
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, three plays that they can actually run on

2662
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:21,440
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, they can run their entire offense

2663
02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:24,080
Speaker 1: through Nate Peterman and be feel good about getting something

2664
02:06:24,120 --> 02:06:27,600
Speaker 1: out of it. That's where they're at. So I'm um,

2665
02:06:28,720 --> 02:06:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not. He's got to play better than

2666
02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:33,000
Speaker 1: He's got to play like he did at Pitt you know,

2667
02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:35,800
Speaker 1: to the Joshua's point, he's got to get back to

2668
02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:37,760
Speaker 1: those you know, we're tired of seeing him throw it

2669
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:41,000
Speaker 1: to the other other team, and we do. And I

2670
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 1: believe it too. I believe it's in there that he's

2671
02:06:42,800 --> 02:06:44,560
Speaker 1: going to play a better be a better quarterback than

2672
02:06:44,600 --> 02:06:46,760
Speaker 1: he has shown thus far in his Bill's career. But

2673

Speaker 1: you got to start seeing it. Yeah, Sunday, see it. Sunday. Hey,

2681
02:07:24,840 --> 02:07:27,680
Speaker 1: today's show? Presented by Advanced Alarm providing in Western New

2682
02:07:27,720 --> 02:07:30,879
Speaker 1: York's homes and businesses, both of them with the Finess

2683
02:07:30,880 --> 02:07:33,120
Speaker 1: and Security and Home Theater the preferred alarm and home

2684
02:07:33,160 --> 02:07:35,800
Speaker 1: theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. We had Marchian Greco

2685
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:38,320
Speaker 1: on the show, a former friend of mine. I'm just

2686
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:42,840
Speaker 1: kidding Marchi and Greco from ABC seven in Chicago, who

2687
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:45,920
Speaker 1: feels pretty confident about the bears chances this week. That's okay.

2688
02:07:46,080 --> 02:07:48,840
Speaker 1: Marchien Greco says he really likes the Bear's new head coach,

2689
02:07:48,880 --> 02:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Matt Nagy. He's always, you know, be yourself, do your best.

2690
02:07:54,400 --> 02:07:57,400
Speaker 1: He's not a it's not like a cliche ish Rob

2691
02:07:57,520 --> 02:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Rod thing with him. It's a genuine in excitement and

2692
02:08:01,960 --> 02:08:04,200
Speaker 1: energy and the thing that we love about him, and

2693
02:08:04,320 --> 02:08:08,200
Speaker 1: he's totally transparent, actually having a conversation, a two way

2694
02:08:08,240 --> 02:08:12,320
Speaker 1: conversation with reporters and actually answering questions, and that's the

2695
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:15,120
Speaker 1: way he is with his players. The Bears did a

2696
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:20,120
Speaker 1: great in house production miking up Trubisky and Nagy during

2697
02:08:20,160 --> 02:08:22,960
Speaker 1: the Jets game, and you really got to feel for

2698
02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:27,200
Speaker 1: their relationship and how Naggy challenges Trubisky at the same

2699
02:08:27,240 --> 02:08:29,320
Speaker 1: time hugging him and patting him on the butt. You know,

2700
02:08:29,320 --> 02:08:33,240
Speaker 1: it's really great. Yuff Marching Greco, Buffalo native from ABC

2701
02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:35,800
Speaker 1: seven in Chicago, on the Bears and their new head

2702
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:38,520
Speaker 1: coachman Nage. Yeah. Greg co Sell on the show today,

2703
02:08:38,840 --> 02:08:43,160
Speaker 1: executive producer and analyst of NFL Matchup on ESPN, and

2704
02:08:43,200 --> 02:08:46,200
Speaker 1: he had some thoughts on the Bears running back Ark Collen.

2705
02:08:46,280 --> 02:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. He's their most explosive guy.

2706
02:08:50,680 --> 02:08:52,920
Speaker 1: They lined him up both in the backfield and detached

2707
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:56,160
Speaker 1: from the formation as a receiver, and he's an explosive guy.

2708
02:08:56,240 --> 02:09:01,320
Speaker 1: He certainly can run routes well. It's game dependent on

2709
02:09:01,320 --> 02:09:03,040
Speaker 1: how much they give him the ball as a back.

2710
02:09:03,480 --> 02:09:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, last week they got ahead and they basically

2711
02:09:05,840 --> 02:09:09,400
Speaker 1: went to their their conventional run game with Jordan Howard.

2712
02:09:09,680 --> 02:09:11,480
Speaker 1: I would imagine if they get ahead of the Bills,

2713
02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, seventeen six in the third quarter, that's what

2714
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:16,360
Speaker 1: you would see. They would give it to Jordan Howard

2715
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:18,760
Speaker 1: and not Terrik Cohen. But Cohen is one of their

2716
02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:22,480
Speaker 1: most explosive, if not their most explosive offensive player. Greg

2717
02:09:22,520 --> 02:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Cosell on Terre Cohen of the Chicago Bears, Steve, you

2718
02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:26,960
Speaker 1: know what the referee is for Sunday's game. It's our

2719
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,760
Speaker 1: buddy who was with us at training camp, Sean Smith.

2720
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 1: Smith's on the show with us. Yeah, back at training camp.

2721
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:35,120
Speaker 1: A great bunch. Yeah, they like they like us too.

2722
02:09:35,360 --> 02:09:37,360
Speaker 1: We turned him onto some restaurants here in town. Yeah,

2723
02:09:37,440 --> 02:09:39,200
Speaker 1: he's doing the game, Sean Smith. So we look forward

2724
02:09:39,240 --> 02:09:41,600
Speaker 1: to that. Steve, I don't do predictions, but you know what,

2725
02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:43,360
Speaker 1: I have a good feeling about this game for the Bills.

2726
02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:45,920
Speaker 1: I really do. In the face of everything that they've

2727
02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:48,200
Speaker 1: been up against first eight games of the season. With

2728
02:09:48,320 --> 02:09:51,080
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman getting another shot at redemption, he's had a

2729
02:09:51,080 --> 02:09:53,200
Speaker 1: couple I have a feeling that they're gonna be some

2730
02:09:53,240 --> 02:09:55,440
Speaker 1: happy faces leaving this place about five thirty onth So

2731
02:09:55,720 --> 02:09:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that that Nath Peterman is going

2732
02:09:57,720 --> 02:09:58,920
Speaker 1: to come in and light it up and get this

2733
02:09:59,480 --> 02:10:01,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be this. But I do think this is

2734
02:10:01,200 --> 02:10:03,080
Speaker 1: a team that can that the Buffalo Bills can beat,

2735
02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna I think it's gonna be

2736
02:10:05,200 --> 02:10:07,640
Speaker 1: a very close game. I do think Buffalo is gonna

2737
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:10,520
Speaker 1: do some surprising things that are gonna help him get

2738
02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:12,200
Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. And I don't And

2739
02:10:12,200 --> 02:10:13,480
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be one of those games in

2740
02:10:13,560 --> 02:10:15,200
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman looks back on and says, you know what,

2741
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:17,000
Speaker 1: that's that's the game. That's one of the games where

2742
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 1: it's started to go right. You know, you're like me.

2743
02:10:18,640 --> 02:10:21,720
Speaker 1: You root for stories that would be the best story, right, Yeah, Yeah,

2744
02:10:21,760 --> 02:10:25,400
Speaker 1: And I do. I do because I root for people,

2745
02:10:25,480 --> 02:10:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, And and Peterman's a guy worth rooting for.

2746
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:30,080
Speaker 1: And I think Buffalo fans can get behind him. Despite

2747
02:10:30,080 --> 02:10:32,760
Speaker 1: the problems he's had, there are better times ahead for him.

2748
02:10:32,760 --> 02:10:34,720
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Hey, have a great trip out

2749
