1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tester who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: the straded heere of normalcy here, right. Welcome to trade

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: deadline day in the NFL. You as we sit just

6
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: three hours from the trade deadline, and some stuff has

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: happened in the last twenty four hours. Yesterday we told

8
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: you on the show about the von Miller trade from

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: the Broncos to the Rams in exchange for a second

10
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: and third round pick next year. And oh, by the way,

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos are fitting nine million of the nine point

12
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: seven million onto their bill one as opposed to the

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Rams bill being tight against the cap. The takeaway from

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: the trade activity thus far, defensive ends are in demand.

15
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: All of the trades that have happened in the last

16
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: twenty four hours have involved pass rushers. And that's interesting

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: because the bills have some and the bills were also

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: linked to the Von Miller apparently they were. They were

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: like chit chatting about von Miller coming to bills. So yeah,

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: that put and I'm like a lot of Bills fans,

21
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: I think you are too. I kind of like watching

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean work because if we if the Bills make

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: a trade today, like in these last three hours, you've

24
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: got to feel like it's gonna be a little bit

25
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: of a boost. Now. But you know, you started thinking,

26
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: all right, that's cool. What's it gonna be? You know,

27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be? The Bills have a ton of

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: defensive linemen. They kept them all from training camp. They're

29
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: deep in it. They got quality depth, they got some

30
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: guys that can really go, and they got some guys

31
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: with the potential to be really good long term. And

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: that's the position that everybody around the league's trading for. Yeah,

33
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: so it may be that you get a player back

34
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: and if that gives you the leverage because you've got

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: what everybody wants, you know, how's that work? You know,

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: how's it gonna work for you? Now? I don't know

37
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: that the Bills are even on the phone anymore. That

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: might the von Miller thing might have been the extent

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: of it. We don't know. Yeah, we don't know that.

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: But a source of mine outside this building, not Bills

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: related at all, told me late last week, Hey, anything

42
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: going on with von Miller and the Bills? Because I'm

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: hearing some stuff. I was like, oh, no, I hadn't

44
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: heard anything, but I'll keep an ear out when you

45
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: think about it. And so seeing this report today that

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: the Bills were one of three teams on the phone

47
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: with the Broncos makes a little bit more sense now

48
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: after what I had heard last week. And the interesting

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: part is if since the Bills are in the situation

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: that I just described, where they've got the kind of

51
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: assets that the teams want, I wonder if their phone's

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: ringing well. From what I understand again from outside the building,

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: there were calls being placed to the Bills a few

54
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago about some of their veteran pass rushers. We

55
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: know the demand is out there for pass rush help.

56
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: So from what I was told again from outside the building,

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: was that the Bills were getting phone calls. Their phone

58
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: was ringing quite frequently for some veteran defensive end help.

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: They know that they have Jerry Hughes on this roster

60
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: in the final year of his contract, A team might

61
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: be interested in getting him as a rental player. Mario

62
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: Addison another veteran player. You know, where is he going

63
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: to be after this year? That's a little bit up

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: in the air. So you know, people were calling, presumably

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: about those two guys, probably more than anybody else. But

66
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: now we get this report out there that the Bills

67
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: were one of the three teams on the phone calling

68
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: about von Miller. What does that say? What does that

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: say that they're calling? Yeah, I mean Jerry Hughes, or

70
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: at least they're listening Jerry Hughes. Is it like the

71
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: exact same position that von Miller's in a certainly he's

72
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Jerry's never been defensive player of the year, right or

73
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: an antime pro bowler, right? But still the guys really productive. Yeah,

74
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: von Miller. I guess it's as simple as this. Von

75
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Miller's an upgrade over what you have, right. So that's

76
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: why you listen, that's why you call, that's why you inquire,

77
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: that's why you see what it takes. And this is

78
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: the tricky thing for the Rams. All the chips have

79
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: been put in the middle of the table, I mean tenfold,

80
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: not to mention the fact that the clock is ticking

81
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: on a thirty three year old quarterback that they just acquired.

82
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if there was ever a win now mode

83
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: approach to adopt, the Rams had to adopt it because

84
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: they're up against the cap. You can only kick the

85
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: can down the road so far before you have to

86
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: air down and start over. And they're very firmly in

87
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: that position now. So what the hell is the difference

88
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: if you can add von Miller and only pay him

89
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand dollars and get Denver to fork over

90
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: the other nine million for his salary this year, and

91
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: you're only partnering with a second and a third round pick. Now,

92
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: I know people will say, what are the Rams doing?

93
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: They're the complete opposite of how you build a roster?

94
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: And yes, they have not had a first round pick

95
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: in seven years. Okay, we get it. They have a three,

96
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: they have a five and two sevens right now. They're

97
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: also going to benefit from the compensatory pick pool when

98
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: that comes out later this year or is it early

99
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: next year? I think it's early next year when the

100
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: compensatory picks are awarded, usually right around combined time. And

101
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: they lost four prominent free agents in the free agent

102
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: window where you can qualify for compensatory picks in return.

103
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: John Johnson, the safety who went to Cleveland, and there's

104
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: about three other players that they lost in free agency

105
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: this past offseason that are going to net them compensatories.

106
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: So they have four draft choices now, three five and

107
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: two sevens. They figure to get somewhere between two to three,

108
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: maybe even more than that. They might get up to

109
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: about four or five compensatories with all the people they

110
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: lost in free agency last year. So they might have

111
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: plenty of picks, they just won't have any in the

112
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: first two rounds, and they may only have three two

113
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: in the third round at most, and then everything is

114
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: Day three after that, so they'll have more draft capital

115
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: to work with than they do right now. So it's

116
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily the scorched earth that I think a lot

117
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: of people believe it to be for the Rams in

118
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: terms of rebuilding their roster with cheap labor now. To

119
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: get you around the horn. On the rest of the

120
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: trade moves thus far, we said it was defensive end heavy,

121
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: and it was so. Von Miller to the Rams. Charles Omenihu,

122
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: a young defensive end for the Houston Texans, traded to

123
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers for a future late round pick,

124
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: a many who is a former fifth round draft choice.

125
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: But the guy's got a lot of versatility and a

126
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: lot of potential. This is a player that Houston last year,

127
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Steve lined up all across the front, out on the edge,

128
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: five technique, four technique, even zero, head up on the

129
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: center sometimes because he has extraordinary strength for a man

130
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: his size, he seems to most often have success on

131
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: inside moves. He is not afraid to take the inside

132
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: track to the quarterback, and he overpowers tackles very often,

133
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: sometimes guards and centers as well. And I was hearing

134
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: all that, I was like, you know, Greg Russeau did

135
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: a lot of that in college. I wonder if the

136
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: Bill should explore that a little bit. I was thinking, Also,

137
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: you're looking at guys who are versatile like that. It's

138
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: like ethel Obada on the Bill's Ross. Yeah, he's that

139
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: kind of athletic guy, got some length and some athleticism,

140
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: a really strong guy. They got some guys that are

141
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure that other teams covet. Yeah. So that was

142
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: the second defensive end to go. And then Pittsburgh sends

143
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for

144
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: a sixth round draft choice. Melvin Ingram wanted out of

145
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because he was unhappy with his playing time pretty

146
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: much since Week two and expressed as much. Kansas City

147
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: was a team that Melvin Ingram was considering in the

148
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: off season before he signed with Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh accommodated

149
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Ingram and said, have had it, man, go to the Chiefs. Now.

150
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: The word on the street was Pittsburgh obviously did not

151
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: want to trade him to an AFC counterpart, but according

152
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: to the reports, the Chiefs were the only team interested

153
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: in Melvin Ingram, so they landed him, and Mike Tomlin

154
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: already addressed it in his press conference today used his

155
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: classic line that he's used time and time again when

156
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: they've thrown players that are believed to still have some

157
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: ability that could help your team overboard. He said, around here,

158
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: we want volunteers not hostages, right, which basically means if

159
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: you don't want to be here, we don't want you here. Right.

160
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: If you're here, you better want to be here, otherwise

161
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: you're volunteers not hostages. Um. Yeah, so it's yeah, he's

162
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the right philosophy to have it. It's

163
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: the absolute I've got to tell you, if Mike Tomlin

164
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: doesn't put that on his tombstone when he when he's

165
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: gone from this world, he really should that is like

166
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: an A plus yeah philosophy line on team building. My god,

167
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Fans Sometimes fans and even executives

168
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: and owners don't get it. But if you've got a

169
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: guy on your team that doesn't want to be there,

170
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: you do not want to have him on your teams.

171
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I don't care who he is, useless, I really don't

172
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: care it. As talented as they are, as great as

173
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: they are, as as gifted as they are, as much

174
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: as the fans love them, and how much they how

175
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: great they play, and all that, if they don't want

176
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: to be there, nobody inside that locker room wants them there.

177
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: They are there, They become dead to those guys, and

178
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: it is best for the team to get rid of them.

179
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't care what his production is, because his production,

180
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: because his production may go maybe at at an elite level,

181
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: everybody else is the entire other. Every other member of

182
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: the team's production is affected negatively by his and by

183
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: his presence. So Mike Tomlin's right, You've got to have volunteers,

184
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: willing volunteers. You don't want to have any hostages on

185
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: your roster. And that's that's a great philosophy to live by.

186
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: And you know, there's just no reason to get away

187
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: from it, and you gotta strive to make as Sean

188
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: McDermott and Brandon Bean have done, and Terry, Terry and

189
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: Kim and the whole crew up there, they have really

190
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: put it as job one to make this franchise an

191
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: absolute garden of you know, guys just come here and thrive.

192
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: Guys thrive here, and word is out about how nice

193
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: it is to come here and work. That's that's enormous.

194
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: That's that isn't that that may be the base ingredient

195
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: for the for what they've got cooking here in Buffalo

196
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: as good as it is. The other reports that are

197
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: out there the Browns were listening to offers for Odell

198
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. There are reports that that is not going

199
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: to happen now. Kevin Stefanski is adamant that he still

200
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: believes that OBJ can be a factor in helping the

201
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: Brown's offense reach its fullest potential, but there is apparently

202
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: some internal strife in the relationship between OBJ and Baker Mayfield.

203
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler from ESPN had a recent tweet that he

204
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: put out that chronicled the lack of success that Mayfield

205
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: and Beckham Junior have had in connecting on the football field.

206
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: I guess his passer rating when targeting ob J is

207
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: really low in comparison to the entire roster, So you

208
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: could take that for what it's worth. But there seems

209
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: to be some inner grumblings in terms of Mayfield and OBJ.

210
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: And you know that's not all that different to something

211
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: you just alluded to. It's bad enough when you have

212
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: a person that doesn't want to be there, throw him

213
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: overboard immediately. But then when you have internal strife between

214
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: two pretty important players on the offensive side of the football,

215
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: that can cause some problems also. Yeah, especially at a

216
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: diva position like receiver steve yeah and quarterback two. Yeah,

217
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: that's that's a real problem, a real problem. And I

218
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: don't know how, and I don't know and each I

219
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: guess each situation like that is not only is about

220
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: how they they're coached and what they're asked to do

221
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: and how successful each of them can be within that coaching,

222
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: but it's also a personal relationship like I don't even

223
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: want to stand in the huddle next to the guy

224
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing, yeah, or something like it's personal, right,

225
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: So that I mean that is. I mean, yeah, that's

226
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: that's it turns malignant very fast in that situation. I've

227
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: been a part of it, and it really takes it,

228
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: you know, some therapy to get out of that. It

229
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: just sucks the life out of your football team, right,

230
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: because that is what everybody's eyes are focused, right, because

231
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: both those guys have you know, redeeming qualities in and

232
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: of themselves. I mean, they're guys who really love both

233
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: those guys. Odell's got a bunch of friends on the team,

234
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: Baker's got a whole bunch of friends on the team.

235
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: It's hard to love the two of them when they

236
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: hate each other, or if that's the case, I'm exaggerating.

237
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Now we don't have a real relations but you know,

238
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: when there's strife there and it turns awkward for everybody,

239
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: you know that the locker room can't be a free

240
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: and open, you know, communication line of communication when certain

241
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: guys don't want to talk or if they're talking about them,

242
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: they can't talk about each other. You know, you can't

243
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: have a conversation about what they're going through because they're

244
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: sitting right next to you. That kind of thing. It's weird,

245
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: and it's it's you can tell how complicated a locker

246
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: room can be. And when it's healthy, it couldn't be simpler.

247
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: You know, everybody just you know, everybody just talks and

248
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: says what they feel and everybody's like, hey, okay. You know,

249
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: it's a it's a friendly atmosphere. It's unlike anything else anywhere.

250
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: And when it's compromised, it affects football games. It affects

251
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: your sport because it permeates through the whole lot. Yeah,

252
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: everybody can feel it and remember and it's the same

253
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: every sport. Yeah. I mean when the Bills had the

254
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: quarterback controversy here between Fluty and Johnson, you could have

255
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: painted a line down the middle of the locker room.

256
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean there was half the guys were in favor

257
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: of Flute, the other half like Johnson, and there was

258
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: no convincing either party that they were wrong, and it

259
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: split the team in half. Yeah, and then they had

260
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: a good team. Yeah. Yeah, it's and I think football

261
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: there's an element that's always been and I've said this,

262
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: an element to football that makes it different than a

263
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: lot of other sports in that you are physically uncomfortable

264
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: and I mean in pain and you're banging into guys,

265
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: you've got to be healthy, you gotta feel good physically

266
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: to play. You've got to, you know, risk life and limbs,

267
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: so to speak, to out and play and do it

268
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: with the full confidence that your teammates are gonna do

269
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: it too. M And once you get in there, it's

270
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: really it takes. It's a big ask. Got you take

271
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: it for granted. These guys are gonna go out and

272
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: play today. Okay, they're gonna go out and play, But

273
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: it's a big ask to get him to go out

274
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: there and do that because they they know it's gonna hurt,

275
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: and they don't want to go out there and hurt.

276
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: If you've got some petty feud going on with you know,

277
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: a teammate over whatever, it's hard to focus on the

278
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: what the game demands these guys to do while well

279
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: there's all this he said, she said, stuff going on

280
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: in the locker room. It's a big ask, and it

281
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: guys just don't do it. They don't. They don't go

282
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: as hard. They they start to protect themselves physically. And

283
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: when you start to protect yourself physically, you'retop playing hard.

284
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: You lose games and it looks, it looks awful. The

285
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: other news on the trade front as far as the

286
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: NFL is concerned here as we're less than three hours

287
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: from the deadline, the Steelers, even though they traded Melvin Ingram,

288
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: are said to be buyers. They are looking to add

289
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: to their roster here for the stretch run. I would

290
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: presume they're looking for offensive line help. They also need

291
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: defensive interior help for Cameron Heyward. They're looking to add

292
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: somebody that can pull some attention away from him. I mean,

293
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: you have t J. Watt, but I don't know they're

294
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: looking for more defensive help. I'd be looking for old

295
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: line help if I were those guys. Yeah, that's I mean,

296
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: they've gotten a little better, but not demonstrably better in

297
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: that category. So we'll have to see what the Steelers

298
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: decide to do. The Packers are interested in adding a

299
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: tight end, obviously, after the season ending injury to their

300
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: number one tight end, Robert Tonyan, he has gone down

301
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: for the season. They are looking to add somebody to

302
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: make plays in the passing game. The Giants tight end

303
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram has been mentioned as a possible name of

304
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: interest for the Packers, So we'll try to keep our

305
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: ear to the ground on all of that for you

306
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: to keep you up to speed on the goings on.

307
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: The one other thing, the Broncos are looking to move

308
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: veteran cornerback Kyle Fuller, former first round pick out of

309
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech back in twenty fourteen, two time Pro Bowl corner,

310
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: first team All Pro in twenty eighteen, when he had

311
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: seven interceptions for the Bears and twenty one pass breakups

312
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: in one season. Has his production has fallen off since then?

313
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: In his age twenty seven, twenty eight, and twenty nine

314
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: season This year but twenty nine years of age and

315
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: has appeared in seven games for the Broncos this season,

316
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: made five starts in those as two pass breakups on

317
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: the season, along with seventeen tackles. So that is a

318
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: guy who could be on the move here, and you know,

319
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I gave it a passing thought. With

320
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: respect to the Bills. You know they're on the phone,

321
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: they're talking to the Broncos about Von Miller. Did Kyle

322
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: Fuller come up? You know, that's a question because if

323
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: I can't help my defense on the front end, do

324
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: I feel I need to and on the back end,

325
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, like I was curious if that kind of

326
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: conversation would meander in that direction if it was evident

327
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: that you weren't gonna be able to help things up front.

328
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know, just a passing thought I had.

329
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: Whether there's any validity to it, who knows. We also

330
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: want to update you on the Bill's injury situation going forward,

331
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: Dawson knock Steve When head coach Sean McDermot addressed the

332
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: media yesterday said Knox is day to day, not week

333
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: to week. When this was originally considered a two to

334
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: four week injury or two to three week injury. I

335
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: believe that it was initially the prognosis. They are listing

336
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: him as day to day, just a week removed from

337
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: surgery on his broken hand. So obviously, when you have

338
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: the surgery, it restores the integrity of the hand because

339
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, you put pins in there and everything to

340
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: kind of secure the bones in the proper place to heal,

341
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: so you it is supposed to promote faster healing, right,

342
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: So I don't know, Maybe the swelling has gone down

343
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: and the hand looks pretty good. Yeah, they I was

344
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: surprised by the day to day designation, I guess, is

345
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, I not so much. I'm depending

346
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: on how the surgeon surgery went. I mean, if if

347
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,239
Speaker 1: they got in there and what happens is that they

348
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: break the bones in your hand, if they can go

349
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: in there and put screws in there and tight it

350
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: up and getting it set, if it was a clean

351
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: break and it was and at the right angle and

352
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: all it depending on all that stuff. But the surgeon

353
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: gets in there and put some some hardware in there,

354
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: and it goes in really well, and it pulls that

355
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: together and stabilizes it quick Um. Yeah, it doesn't take long.

356
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: What happens in after about a week, you get this

357
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: this kind of this calcium kind of gel around the

358
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: around the break, and then that that just hardens up

359
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: over time and it doesn't take long. And plus once

360
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: it's stabilized, you feel fine. Yeah, you speak from experience. Broken,

361
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: you feel good. So it really is basically about being

362
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: able to get use the hand in such a way

363
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: that strength for him is important. Right well, yeah, exactly,

364
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: if you if you put it, if you put it

365
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: under durest those and it's the bones not the muscles,

366
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: if you you know, if you you know, and with

367
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: screws in there, it's not the bone holding together, it's

368
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the screws. So there's not much you know, surface area

369
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: there that's holding that thing together. So it there's a

370
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: lot going into but it happens fast. It does happen fast.

371
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: And three weeks from the time of the injury, you

372
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: would expect him his hand to be a okay, but

373
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: you know, the setback from the the incision, from surgery

374
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: and this, you know, everything else and getting its strength back,

375
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: the swelling to go down, and all the trauma from

376
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: the injury itself. I mean, we're only a week today

377
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: right from surgery, like seven days now, because they played

378
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Monday night, he had surgery the next day. Well, no,

379
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: then they had to buy what am I saying they

380
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: had to buy? That was one week now it's two

381
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: weeks three. Yeah, so he's going a week at this

382
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: time of the bye week served him really well. I

383
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: just wonder if he's an option maybe even for this week.

384
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: That would be the interesting thing that's I think he's

385
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: got a very good shot at the Jets game. I'm

386
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: wondering about the Jaguars game this week. For me, that's

387
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: the only question. The Jets game is a given to me.

388
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just saying in my experience, I

389
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: think the Jet game is a given. The Jaguars game

390
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: is a you know, coin flip. On the other side

391
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: of the injury report, John Feliciano suffered a calf strain

392
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: in the game against the Dolphins. He is now week

393
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: to week. So an offensive line that has already undergone

394
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: some meaningful change in the past week, with three players

395
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: playing in different positions from how that line looked a

396
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: week prior or two weeks prior against the Titans prior

397
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: to the bye week, it is going to undergo change again.

398
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: So because Feliciano, I would not anticipate being in the

399
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: lineup this week. If he's listed as a week to

400
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: week injury, I would say his chances are poor to

401
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: be in the lineup this week, which would mean you're

402
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: gonna have Butcker in the lineup. Spencer Brown's situation is

403
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: TBD because coach McDermott basically said yesterday when addressing the

404
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: media that they have to see how he looks on

405
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: Wednesday and then they're going to take it from there.

406
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: So he said he is trending in the right direction,

407
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: you know, after straining his back and training. So you

408
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: know he's a big guy, that's a big back. You're moving,

409
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: You're moving a lot of stuff there when he's and

410
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: you you and I don't have to tell you this, Steve,

411
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: but linemen, every time they come out of their stance,

412
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: they're using that those lower back muscles chiefly. So if

413
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: your back's not right, it's hard to be an effective

414
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: offensive linemen. I actually spoke to Spencer briefly before the game,

415
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: and I said, we used to and when I was playing,

416
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: we didn't even call it a back injury. We call

417
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: it back disease because it was almost it's impossible to

418
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: get a handle on what exactly happened, you know, because

419
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 1: it's you know, you just you can't get it right. Um,

420
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: So you think about it. Spencer Brown's gotta get healthy,

421
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Feliciano's gotta get healthy. That puts Butcher Williams Williams. Is

422
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: Williams is back out of right tackle again? Yeah? And

423
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: then Bucker's on the field, and then I don't know,

424
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: is it Cody Ford, is it Ryan Bates? Who who's

425
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: the next man up? Right? Because now you're into your

426
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: third and fourth guards on the roster, So we'll have

427
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: to see how it shapes up when they're back out

428
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: on the practice field tomorrow. But yeah, I mean I

429
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: would be surprised if Feliciano plays this week, which means

430
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna undergo some more change going forward up front,

431
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that all pans out through the

432
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: course of the practice week. Discussion we want to have

433
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: with you today at eight three five fifty one, eight

436
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: you about this team we want to know eight three

437
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

438
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: A reminder, second hour of the show today we will

439
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: have our weekly appearance from Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt,

440
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: who had a Bills nominee for his Angry Run segment

441
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football. This week, we'll be playing that

442
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: for you. We also have some comments that we are

443
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: going to pass along to you from head coach Sean McDermott,

444
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, and Leslie Frasier coming up after the break,

445
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: But for now, we go to the phones at eight

446
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: o three oh five fifty one, eight eight eight five

447
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty Open line for you there and

448
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: we go to Ralph in cheek Towaga. Ralph, what do

449
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: you have for us? You all one bills live. Hey guys,

450
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: I probably won't pronounce his name right, but it's how

451
00:25:54,160 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: about ajaw We hasn't been playing well? He did play

452
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: this past week, as you know, got twenty eight snaps

453
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: on defense. That was the second fewest snaps among defensive linemen.

454
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: And I gotta let you go here because I'm hearing

455
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: me in delay on the radio through your phone and

456
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: it's distracting me. So sorry, but thanks for the call, Ralph.

457
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: He had the second fewest snaps among defensive linemen in

458
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: the game last week. And Steve, I meant to bring

459
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: this up yesterday and I did not, but there was

460
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: something that I noticed in terms of the player rotation.

461
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: Aj Epiness is not on the field when it is

462
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: a perceived down in which the opponent can run the football.

463
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: He is a pass rush specialist. He is out on

464
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: the field on second and ten. He's out on the

465
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: field on third and long. He is almost never out

466
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: on the field on second and four, second and five,

467
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: first and five, third and one. He is he is

468
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: out there for pass rush duty, whether that is because

469
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: they deem him to be one of their most effective

470
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: pass rushers or one of their lesser run defenders. I

471
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: do not know, but that is the way he is

472
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: being used right now. Well that you know, I'll tell

473
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: you what it is. I mean, there's no question if

474
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: he yeah that it becomes obvious when he sees situational

475
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: substitutions like that, no question they like or the fact

476
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: that they like. Probably like Greg Russau better. He's been

477
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: better holding the edge. He holds the edge better Greg

478
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: Russa's really he's good at playing with leverage on that

479
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: edge when the left tackle may be left tackle, right tackle.

480
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 1: He's good at getting leverage, particularly those big tackles when

481
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: they come out. He's staying under even though he's tall,

482
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: using leverage to get up underneath them, lift them up

483
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: and flatten them, and holding the line of scrimmage all

484
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: the way to the edge of the field and then

485
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: coming off and making a tackle back inside or pushing

486
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: the ball all the way to the sideline. And Tremaine

487
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: Edmonds tackles the guy. So I'm with you. I I

488
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: don't see it as much about being as Ajpanessa as

489
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: it is about Russeau and Addison and Hughes holding the

490
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: edge a little better. They are well and Addison is

491
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: a girthier defensive end than Epinessa who they asked to

492
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: play at two sixty and he is now. Let me

493
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: ask you this, A guy that played at two eighty

494
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: in college is now playing at two sixty in the

495
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: NFL less game experience twenty pounds lighter than he had

496
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: at twenty pounds heavier. How does that impact you on

497
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: the field when you're trying to get adjusted to that?

498
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: Does that take a game or two? Does that take

499
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: half a season or no? I don't think it's no,

500
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I think adjusting to the news it takes

501
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: them getting used. I think he should be there now, though,

502
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: But because it's all about your strength, it takes more

503
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: effort to move you when you're twenty pounds heavier. Yes,

504
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: but I'll say this, I saw the guy playing college firsthand.

505
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: He looked a little bit Doughey at two eighty, he did,

506
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: and now he doesn't. He looks like an athlete. Now

507
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: he looks he looks like Rousseau, except you know, an

508
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: inch and a half two inches shorter. You know what

509
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying yep and so um, he looks like a

510
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: pro pro player now. So I think he's probably feeling better,

511
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: and I think he probably is faster and more explosive.

512
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: If he's probably not stronger, maybe he is. I mean

513
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: because of the training they can do. I'm sure he

514
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: feels he is faster off the ball and unquestionably is

515
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: the next gen Stats put a list together fastest get

516
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: off times, you know at the snap of the football,

517
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: and Milano and aj Epina are in the top ten

518
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: in the league for fastest getoff time, which would explain

519
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: why Epina is playing in those pass rushing situations. You

520
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: have one of the fastest getoff times, you're gonna put

521
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: you on the field, right. I just it's interesting that

522
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: he's not really out there all that much for any

523
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: run perceived rundowns and distances. At least he wasn't last

524
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: week against the Dolphins. So I'll try to keep an

525
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: eye on that in these coming weeks to see if

526
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: that approach with Epinessa continues. We have to take a

527
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: break here, but when we come back, we'll have some

528
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: comments from head coach Sean McDermott, Brian Dable, Leslie Frazier

529
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: as the coordinators addressed the media late yesterday, So we'll

530
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: pass those along to you, and we want to hear

531
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: from you as well as we are discussing the reports

532
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: out there of the Bills being involved in trade talks.

533
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: What does that tell you about this team? Eight oh

534
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two

Speaker 1: and twenty six. The stamp hunger by along as a

539
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: pocket guns it downfield intercepted, picked up my Poyer at

540
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: the thirty yard line, up to the twenty to the

541
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: fifteen along the pert set line, and wrestled out a

542
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: bounce at the eleven yard line. Jordan Poyer makes the interception,

543
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: seals the deal for the Buffalo Bills. Defense. Coach put

544
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: us in a really good call and they ran the play.

545
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: We had been really practicing all week, so it was

546
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: almost like when when I saw the play developed, it's

547
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: like no way, no ways in no way. But uh,

548
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: you know we had great pressure. Um he's you know,

549
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: forcing the make a throw he didn't want to make,

550
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: and I was able to make a play on football.

551
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: That is your Freedo Lay Crunch time Play of the game.

552
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: Frido Lay an official sponsor of the Buffalo Bills. And

553
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde now have three interceptions each

554
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: this season in a seven games. It's so hard because

555
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: they're you're not used to it because you see poor

556
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: your pick that off and he used to watch the

557
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five replays we've all seen. If DeVante

558
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Parker's the guy that runs him out, if Davanta Parker

559
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: doesn't tackle him, he's he scores a touch days he's easily.

560
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: And these defensive guys, you know, Tremaine Edmunds and all

561
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: these guys, all the defensive lineman Rousseau and all these

562
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: guys had a chance, like just step in front, go

563
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: block somebody. Just step in front of Parker. Just step

564
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: in front of him. If not block him, just keep

565
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: him from and if they don't, but it happens so

566
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: fast they're thinking, they said, okay, now, okay, you're gonna run. Okay,

567
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna just gonna run. And by that time it's

568
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: too late, and you know, the guy. He was actually

569
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: thrown it too, was Parker, So Parker has a handle

570
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: on it. He just kind of loops around, comes from

571
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: the inside out, runs right by Tremaine Edmonds, right by

572
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: um Greg Rousseau and makes the tackle because nobody is

573
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: can flip the switch that fast, you know, because you're

574
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: always like transition. You're so happy you got an interception. Oh,

575
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: you just want to watch him run. Yeah, you want

576
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: to watch him run. So you know, it's just Bill's

577
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: uh tied for the league lead in total takeaways with

578
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: eighteen with Indianapolis. They are far and away the turnover

579
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: differential leader in this league. The Bills are a plus thirteen.

580
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: The next closest team in turnover differential or indian Aapolis

581
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Both of them are plus eight. The

582
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: Bills are plus thirteen. Yeah, that's that's a big reason

583
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: why they're winning these games. Is obsidious. Um, we do

584
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: want to get back to the phones at eight O

585
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two

586
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: five fifty, where we're asking you, what are the reports

587
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: of the Bills being involved in trade talks? Tell you

588
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: about the team, because this is widely considered one of

589
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: the best teams in the AFC, maybe in the entire league,

590
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: and they're reportedly you know, we're making exploratory phone calls

591
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: so or receiving exploratory trade phone calls as well. So

592
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: let us know what you think that tells you about

593
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: the team. At eight O three oh five fifty, we

594
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: go to Aaron in Attica. Next to Aaron, what do

595
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one bills live, Hey, guys,

596
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: how you doing good? Good? Good? Well? What it sends

597
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: to me is our g like there's there's so many

598
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: incompetent gms in the NFL in my opinion, that we

599
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: have a great one. And then you can never settle

600
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, you never well even with no we're great,

601
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: you can never settle for that because players are gonna

602
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: be moving on every year and your injuries half in.

603
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: You just you always want to be trying to make

604
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: yourself better. And this GM understands that and he's never

605
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna be perfect in the draft and he's done a

606
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: great job. And then secondly on that point, Um Russeau,

607
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: the Russeau and Up. I saw the same thing with

608
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: Up and s to be in there on passing down

609
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 1: and I thought probe that was because I've seen Rousseau

610
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: plays so great against the run, especially not you know,

611
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: not pass rushing so much, but against the run, Russeau

612
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: is phenomenal, locking out, shedding and getting and setting the

613
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: edge he's doing He's doing great job. Yes, yes, he is,

614
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: no question about it. Aaron, thanks for the call. We

615
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Eight oh three oh five fifty one, eight

616
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty. The question to Steve is the

617
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: balance that Brandon Bean has to strike here in terms

618
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: of the organization's overall vision, which is they don't want

619
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: to be a one and done champion. They want to

620
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: be a perennial contender. So you have to strike a

621
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: balance between, you know, on a day like today, between

622
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: swinging for the fences and mortgaging some of your future

623
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: to try to win right now at the expense of

624
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: maybe not being as much of a perennial contender year

625
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: over year. And so what do you hold dear to

626
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: you to maintain the perennial contender status. What can you

627
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: afford to part with to try to make yourself better?

628
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: That can't be an easy balance. It comes it comes

629
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: down to not only the guys that you're talking about

630
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: like you know, the von Miller's of the world and

631
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: the Jerry Hugheses of the world and whoever else you're

632
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: talking about trading and all that. It's it's also about

633
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: where their contracts are and how long you're going to

634
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: have them when they get here, and how much gas

635
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: in the tank you perceive them to have. And it

636
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: also happens too as if they're just here for this

637
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: year or the one year deal or whatever long term,

638
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: does it leave you with enough cap space and holds

639
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: in your roster. It's okay if you've got holes in

640
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: your roster in March because you've but do you have

641
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: the cap space and the draft picks to fill them again? Yeah,

642
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: And because you're gonna be able to fill them with

643
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: draft picks, you're gonna be able to do it with

644
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: cheap labor, which is a plus. And on the free

645
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: agent market, same thing. You can go out and find

646
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: guys who will fill your room with guys who have

647
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: played professional football, so you can't be afraid. I think

648
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: this is one of the things that fans really fall

649
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: victim too, and I know I do. You're really afraid

650
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: when good players go there, you know, or you lose

651
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: a player, you know, like you can go down the

652
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: list of players who have left your you know that

653
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: all the way back to Sammy Watkins, Marcel Darius and

654
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: all those players go and they leave a huge hole

655
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: in your in your team. But man, oh man, they

656
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: left you behind some assets that you can get better with. Yea.

657
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: So it's about it's about not being afraid to lose

658
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: good players as long as you keep yourself in a

659
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: position where you've got assets with which money or draft

660
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: picks can retify get some more. And what that does

661
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: is and I think in today's NFL, and this is

662
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: the real what you see a team like New England

663
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: who did it for so long, and the Bills to

664
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: a certain extent as well last year and a little

665
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: bit this year. Your identity is different year to year.

666
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: Three years ago, the Bills were a tough defense and

667
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: an offense just trying to score enough points to do it,

668
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to keep They scored nineteen points

669
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: a game. You know, they were just hanging in there

670
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: with Josh kind of learning his way. And the defense

671
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: was a top two or three defense in the league.

672
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: Last year defense was fifteenth or sixteenth in the league

673
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: and the offense was number one, number two, they were

674
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: completely different team. That's what a GM has to be read.

675
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: And a coaching staff too have to be Okay, that's fine,

676
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: that's who we are this year. Let's go, we're gonna win.

677
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: We have to win games this way this year. But

678
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: it's a year to year league. That way, you can't

679
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: be married to the fact that you're gonna be the

680
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs one year and you'll never be the

681
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns the next year or the Baltimore Ravens the

682
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: next year. Both teams can win, but you're gonna look

683
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: different doing it, and a lot of people struggle with

684
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: that identity change year to year. And I don't think

685
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: this GM has bad than I have. You got good players,

686
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: and you there are schemes with which you can win

687
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: with those type of players. Those are the schemes you're

688
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna run. Those are the schemes you're gonna win games

689
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: with this year. And the Bills are you know, right now,

690
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: they're sitting on a bunch of wide receivers and a

691
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: great quarterback and they're riding that way for now. And

692
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: now their defense when they fortified it this year now

693
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: they've got the best of both worlds. Back to the

694
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: phones and to Jeff in Buffalo, e goo, Jeff, what

695
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one bills live?

696
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Oh hi, guys. I have actually a couple of questions. Sure.

697
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 1: One is well, they're and they're very different questions. One

698
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not a conspiracy theorist generally speaking, but at

699
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: the end of the game last week, they went for

700
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: a two point conversion. It was a fifteen point spread,

701
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: and I'm just wondering why they would go for a

702
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: two point conversion when you're already up by fifteen. Yeah,

703
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: but thirty five seconds left to play? You go from

704
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: a two possession game to a three possession game? Did

705
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: you go from fifteen to seven thirty five seconds left

706
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: in the game? Yeah, yeah, Well I understand that there're

707
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: that you won a three possession game when there's when

708
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: there's three minutes to play. Yeah, it seems I know, Yeah,

709
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: I know, it seems counterintuitive, Jeff, But they were just

710
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: going by the chart. That's the only thing I can surmise, right, Okay, well,

711
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: all right, so, like I said, with the fifteen points spread,

712
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: something smells fishy in there anyway. Um so. But the

713
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: other question that I ad as for Steve personally, I've

714
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: always wondered this because of your skill set when you

715
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: were playing, I was wondering why you didn't why you

716
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: weren't a safety as opposed to uh, you know, a

717
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I mean, your skill set would be much

718
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: more suited. I would think as a ball hawk, that

719
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: the ball hawk that you were, why you wouldn't want

720
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: to play defense as opposed to offense. It's a good question.

721
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: I think what it boils down to is at the

722
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: lower levels of football in high school, I did play

723
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: defense in high school, but or your corner or safety,

724
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: I was a safety and as a and then as

725
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: it got to junior college, when when you get to

726
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: a higher level. When I played a community college in

727
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: Dodge City Community College in Dodge City, Kansas, and then

728
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: I transferred to Northwestern University. At that time I was

729
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: I had a lot of speed. And when you've got

730
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: a lot of speed and you can catch the ball

731
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: or handle the ball and run with it, I was

732
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: a good returner. They want to they want a guy

733
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: like that and so, and we used to laugh in fact,

734
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know, this is Jeff thanks for the call.

735
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: But offensive guys always make fun of defensive guys because

736
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: the defensive guys are really good players that can't catch

737
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: or can't handle the ball. They you know, they don't

738
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: have any ball skills. They put them over there because yeah,

739
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: they can tackle, but they when the balls in the air,

740
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: they can't find it right. So that's why I got

741
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: put on the offensive side. I had some ball skills.

742
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: I can catch. We used to make you know when

743
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: a when a defensive back drops an interception, everybody says,

744
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: that's why you're a defensive back. That's why you're on defense.

745
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of that in there, so that's why.

746
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, and at the higher levels of football, you

747
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: need a lot of game prep, a lot of reps,

748
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of coaching to switch sides of the football. Yeah,

749
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 1: it takes a long time. And I never was asked.

750
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: Of course, I would have done it if they'd asked me.

751
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: I would done anything to play on the team, but

752
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: they never asked me. And there's your answer. So hopefully

753
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: that helps you. Jeff. We have to take a break here,

754
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: but Anthony and Rochester, Bob and north Tonawanda, Gary and

755
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: Amherst hanging tight, try to get to you. In the

756
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: next segment. Here on One Bill's Live presented by Collid

757
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio Time. First theme reads

758
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: Jen's Milestones. Read Jens the official Jeweler of the Buffalo Bills.

759
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes recorded strip sack in the fourth quarter against

760
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. He now has fifty seven and a half

761
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: sacks in his NFL career, fifty two and a half

762
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: with the Bills, tying Cornelius Bennett for fourth most on

763
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: the club's all time list. Hughes is one of five

764
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: Bills with fifty plus career sacks with Buffalo, joining Bruce Smith,

765
00:42:54,640 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Schobel, Phil Hanson and the Biscuit. Big play there

766
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: in the second in the second half, in the fourth quarter,

767
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: the image, I thought, well yeah, and Ed Oliver fell

768
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: on the ball and then tried to get up with

769
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: it and knocked it away from himself like a greased

770
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: pig for him, and it ended up going back to

771
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. That's yeah, he's he was laughing at himself.

772
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: He was trying to heat this. I'm gonna get it,

773
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: and and I get it, because that's what everybody thinks.

774
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: You get that ball in your hands. Thing, Okay, here

775
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: I go. I'm gonna score. So I'm gonna get up

776
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: and run with it. I'm gonna get up in the

777
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: middle of this crowd of people and I'm going to

778
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: bust loose from all of them and out run everybody's

779
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: in zone. That was That's what I was thinking. And

780
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, no, where's the ball? Yeah, it

781
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: was pretty fun. The ball was. He didn't laugh about

782
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: it in a win. He had it and he tried

783
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: to regrip it and knocked it away and squirted out

784
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, well whatever, let's get back to the phones.

785
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: Bob in north Tonawanda. What do you have for us? Bob?

786
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's life. Hi, guys, how are you

787
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: doing good? I was just wondering, Um, what do you

788
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: think of our running game and what running backs are

789
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: out here? To gifts? Yeah, I mean they're I would

790
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: say that they're probably a little too reliant on Josh

791
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: between the twenties. You want to run him in the

792
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: red zone, I'm all for it, but he is the

793
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: second leading rusher on this team. That being said, they

794
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: are ranked eighth in the league in rushing, so the

795
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: productivity is there. I just don't think it's being handled

796
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: by the people they want to handle it. Josh Is

797
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: probably had handling a little too much of the load

798
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: in that regard. I mean, as far as running backs

799
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: out there, we haven't heard too much about people that

800
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: are on the block, aside from some of the backs

801
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 1: down in Houston. And while Steve kind of addresses, you know,

802
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: the Bills running game, I'll look up their roster just

803
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: to get the names. The running game, like he said,

804
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: is top ten running game. Inside the top ten, it's

805
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: like number eight. So they're carrying it for enough yards,

806
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: and certainly, I think if you want to get around

807
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: the fact that they're running it about forty three percent

808
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: of the time, you know, and throwing at fifty seven

809
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: to sixty percent of the time, that's what it's gonna be.

810
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: It was it was forty sixty last year, now it's

811
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: forty three fifty seven this year. They're running at a

812
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: hair more this year than they did last year. And

813
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: I think they are being productive, a little bit more

814
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: productive than they were a year ago, which is what

815
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: they said they wanted to do. I don't think it's

816
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: as consistent as they wanted to be it seems like,

817
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, Josh snaps off a thirty four yard or

818
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: in the first quarter and that's by far the longest

819
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: run and he ends up with fifty five on the

820
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: day for with eight rushes, so as seven other rushes

821
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: were you know, for minimal yardage. But Josh, you know,

822
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: picks his spots really well and he converts third downs

823
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: on short yardage and sweep runs and end runs and

824
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: scrambles and that kind of thing. So you know, Josh

825
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: is something. I think Josh is always going to be

826
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: there as a part of that throughout his career. And

827
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what you want to do with single

828
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 1: Arry and Moss. This last weekend they were didn't getting

829
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: a lot of screen passes and swing passes, which you

830
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: know count as their touches, and to me, that's a

831
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: little bit of an extension of the run game. But

832
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: like I said, I think the crucial thing about the

833
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: run game is it seems like half I'll just say

834
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: it seemed like no gain or one yard loss, and

835
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: then they'll snap one off for eight okay, so then

836
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: you got you're on that, so you lose. So you

837
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: get no gain on one, you get eight yards on

838
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: the other and you're carrying it for four yards to

839
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: carry you think, oh that's great. Well, you know you'd

840
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: rather have two four yard runs if that's what you're

841
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna be average. You know, you don't want to get

842
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: snapped off for for nothing. So and really a six

843
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: yard run on first down, second down, or whatever is excellent.

844
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you get a six yard or five

845
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: yard gain on first and ten, man, you're loving life.

846
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: That's where that's where you want to be. You're not

847
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna snap off fifteen sixteen yard runs a lot. And

848
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, I guess by saying all this stuff that

849
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm kind of with you. We all wish

850
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: our running game looked a little different. But I guess

851
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: the stats say and even the game, even the win losses, say, yeah,

852
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of I think that's what we're gonna have

853
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: as a running game. I think that's what's gonna be.

854
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: The running back that is available if a team is interested.

855
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: It's the Houston fire sale going on with the Texans. Apparently,

856
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay is a running back that could be had

857
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: for the right offer from the Texans. Thirty year old

858
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: running back formerly of the Denver Broncos. So that's a

859
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: name for you, if that helps. All right. We have

860
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: to step aside here because when we come back, it

861
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: is the weekly appearance by the one and only Kyle

862
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: Brandt from Good Morning Football. He'll be joining us. We'll

863
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: talk to him about Angry Runs. A Bills player was

864
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: a nominee this week, among other things concerning the Bills

865
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: and what lies ahead on the schedules. Stay tuned. It's

866
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Colloid of Health. This is

867
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve taster who has been

868
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

869
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp.

870
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strated here of normalcy. All right.

871
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: Time to tune it up here for the second hour

872
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: of the show on a Tuesday, and we do so

873
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: in dramatic fashion, as there was a certain Bill that

874
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: was a nominee on Angry Runs this week, the ultra

875
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: popular segment hosted by one Kyle Brandt on Good Morning Football,

876
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: it was Captain Cantelope. Take it away, Kyle, take a

877
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: look at Big Josh. Back in the day, we gave

878
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: up this big honking Bowling Trophy. He won it in

879
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: twenty eight is a fresh faced young man and this one,

880
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: this dude had the audacity to put a couple of

881
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: melons very subtle in his picture with the scepter, and

882
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: he's back. Josh Salon lives in this segment. Come join us.

883
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: This is Josh's house, and look at this mania. Of

884
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: course not Halloween. He's been eating fun dipping is all

885
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: out of control and we're run through anybody, including three

886
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: hundred pounders. Let me take a look. Kristen Wilkins goes

887
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: about six fold. No, he goes down. Loop this thing

888
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: for me, looping for the next three hours. Josh Allen,

889
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: you absolute mania. That is a huge defensive tackle that

890
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 1: he runs right the hell through. As you know, Josh

891
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: Sallen is now a Pistasio farmer and he's grown a

892
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: big old pair of walnuts on this play. I love it, Josh,

893
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. If you send a picture, you know,

894
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: damn well when we want it. We don't want the melon.

895
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: We've moved on to nuts. We've moved down to nuts.

896
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: We may have gone nuts. Kyle Brandton, thank you and welcome.

897
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: And first I want to commend you on working fun

898
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: dip into the angry run segment. I appreciate that to

899
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: a degree you do not understand because you know, really,

900
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things, Skyle, it's a maturation,

901
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: a rite of passage. As a child. You know, you

902
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: have the little pixie sticks when you're a little kid.

903
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: When you want the hard stuff, you graduate to fun dip.

904
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the way it is, because not

905
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: only can you have all the stuff in the pouch,

906
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: you can eat the dang stick that you're dipping in

907
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: the dip. It's incredible. The pixie sticks are a gateway candy,

908
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: as they say, to fund dip, which is pretty much

909
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: like your Rambo esque bullet straps of sugar. And you

910
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: nailed it, Brownie. It isn't enough just to give you

911
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: packets of sugar to eat. The actual vessel you eat

912
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: them with is made of sugar. Then then you just

913
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: eat that the only thing you're missing the bag was

914
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: made of sugar. But I think that's what Josh was

915
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: eating on Halloween, and God bless them. It's great to

916
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: see you guys. It's great to see Tasker there. I

917
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: know that the bills have the month off. I just

918
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: figured you did too. Yeah, I actually did. I'm in

919
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: here just because of you. I showed up for this segment.

920
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: I'm leaving again. But from the final frontier, the front

921
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: we have, so you've been keeping track of this with

922
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: the Bills show up in Miami and all you know

923
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: the right now, Bill's mafia. The whole fan base is like,

924
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna beat him. You know, Bills, buy a billion, Bills,

925
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: Buy a billion, Bills, buy a billion. You know. Dolphins

926
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: came out and punched the Bills in the mouth and

927
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: that for three to three, and it was a snooze fist.

928
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, gosh, give me something better than this.

929
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: Then the Bills actually came out and turned into who

930
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: we thought They were scored twenty three points in the

931
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: second half. What about this trade deadline? If you if

932
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick something to happen for this team in

933
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: a trade, do you have any ideas well? My resident

934
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: insider Peter Stragrand, Good Morning Football. He said that the

935
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills were one of the teams calling about Von Miller, Yeah,

936
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: which I thought was very interesting, and that the Cowboys

937
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: called and then everybody called, and I liked that the

938
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: bills called. I like that this time there's some focus on, well,

939
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: the teams that aren't doing so well unloading picks or anything,

940
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: or the teams that are average making a jump with

941
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: a new player. I don't care about those teams. I

942
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,439
Speaker 1: want the front runners to make moves. I love when

943
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: the teams that are already wealthy, like the Rams, decide

944
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: screw it, I'm gonna invest again because I want a

945
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: second hell of pad on top of my yacht. Like

946
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: that's what they just did. So Buffalo, Look, I don't

947
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: know what are we a two oh seven run out?

948
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: What time is this thing? It's a four o'clock right, Yeah,

949
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: it's coming fast. Yeah, So look I got I gotta

950
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: tell you. It blew my hair back that they were

951
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: calling about von Miller because it means they're active and

952
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: they're interested and they're thinking about defense. I don't know

953
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: if it's gonna happen at this point, and like it

954
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: begs the question, if it hits four and the clock

955
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: strikes four o'clock, is this a super Bowl roster? A

956
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winning roster, Especially with what we're seeing from

957
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: the Rams and what we're seeing obviously in Tampa. I

958
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: guess I would like a few more pieces, but Steve,

959
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't see like a glaring need. I really don't.

960
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: I feel okay, I'm kind of with you. I envisioned

961
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 1: this as it's like a horse race, and the Bills

962
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: have got you know, they're riding Secretariat right now, and

963
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: all they really need is for the guy riding the

964
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: horse to get his whip out and start whacking them.

965
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, let's go there. You know what I mean.

966
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: And that's word it is. You got the horse, I believe,

967
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: and I thought they had it last year and they

968
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: just got to play well on the day they play

969
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: those games. I think we saw a little bit of

970
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: this this last week. They were way better than the Dolphins.

971
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: They didn't show it, they only showed it for a half,

972
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: but it was playing and beat him by fifteen points.

973
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: So I think that's the horse they're riding, and I

974
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: think trade or not, the Bills are a problem for

975
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: these other teams. They're a big problem, especially since, let's

976
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: be honest, one of the most dangerous, biggest, fastest, strongest

977
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: horses in the field that ran right over the Buffalo

978
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: Bills is now injured in Tennessee and Derrick Henry's out,

979
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: and then the other horse that's got the red and

980
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: gold uniform on that's beating the chiefs in the asked

981
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: the jockey's sitting on the horse the wrong way and

982
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: it's going back across the track the wrong way. The

983
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 1: Chief's horse is completely out of control and they're almost

984
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: out of the conversation. So we're setting up really, really

985
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: nicely as we at the home stretch. But I have

986
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: to say I've been calling this bye month for the

987
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: Bills because the bye you got Miami, you got the Jags,

988
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: and now you got the Jets. Is there any never

989
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: mind Jacksonville. I'm not even acknowledged that game, and I

990
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: really don't care. The Jets are now all of a sudden,

991
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: this weird giant killer that has beaten the Titans, team

992
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: that beat the Bills, and has now beaten the Bengals.

993
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: So like, is there a suddenly like some kind of

994
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: thing going on a gang green on November fourteenth, because

995
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: that's a crazy thing to think. Yeah, I mean, it's

996
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: weird with the Jets because sometimes they just play a

997
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: nip and tuck game with the Bills, even though they're

998
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: vastly superior. And we saw it last year Tyler Bassett

999
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: to kick six field goals for them to win eighteen

1000
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: to ten last year in the one of the meetings

1001
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,280
Speaker 1: between the two teams. So yeah, weirder things have happened.

1002
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: And if Mike White is like, you know, the second

1003
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: coming of Wally pip okay, I mean, Robert Sala certainly

1004
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: didn't do anything to calm those the New York media

1005
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: hacks that are, you know, ready to pump tabloid headlines

1006
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: up on the back pages down there. I thought that

1007
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: was a very cryptic way to kind of handle Zach

1008
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 1: Wilson as your franchise quarterback, saying we'll have to wait

1009
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: and see what what was that? That weird? There's buzz

1010
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: like it is a real thing. It's you know, you

1011
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: guys have seen this. The list of quarterbacks in NFL

1012
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: history to throw for four hundred yards and their NFL

1013
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: debut is Cam Newton and Mike White. And that's it.

1014
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 1: No one's ever done. It's two other two people in history.

1015
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, And the last person to throw for

1016
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: four hundred for the Jets was Test of Verdies. So

1017
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: there is a buzz. I mean, listen, The New York

1018
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: Post is already doing a story on Mike White's wife

1019
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: and reporting on what restaurant that they went to page six.

1020
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 1: It is a real thing. That's a real thing. Wow

1021
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: six baby play there's night as we know, and they

1022
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 1: could all come crashing down and this kid could dispoint.

1023
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: It could be this fun little five day period in

1024
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: Jets history where Mike White was the thing. If he

1025
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: wins that game, there's an ain't thrust three touchdown passes.

1026
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he's He's gonna be like Frank Sinatra

1027
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: in this town. It's crazy. Yeah, right, and well he

1028
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: should why not? I mean that's yeah, it's fun. It'll

1029
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: be he'll be pumped up so big they could put

1030
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: him into Thanksgiving Day parade. Is one of the one

1031
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: of the balloons that Yeah, I mean, I'll tell you man,

1032
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 1: New York will pump you up and drag you down

1033
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: faster than real fast. Yeah. You mentioned, you mentioned the Chiefs,

1034
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a while before the Chiefs go

1035
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 1: off everybody's radar because we watched them for three three

1036
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: and a half years. Yeah, just score whenever they wanted to.

1037
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: And you still kind of feel like if they turn around,

1038
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna do that again. You know, it's just got

1039
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: this thing. We're not ready to put them to bed

1040
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: yet because they've shown so much, but you're right there.

1041
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: They are the rocket that has got no rudder. I

1042
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,479
Speaker 1: mean they're going everywhere, um and it is really weird

1043
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: to watch. They beat the Giants last night, but it

1044
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't you know, it was the Giants and it still

1045
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: wasn't pretty and their schedules. You watch, Steve. If you

1046
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 1: watch Patrick Mahomes postgame press conference and you didn't see

1047
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: the game, you just put on the post game you

1048
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: would say, oh, well, the Chiefs lost by ten points.

1049
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: He just is sitting there with all the body language

1050
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: and all the tone in his voice of you know,

1051
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have to keep working and getting better,

1052
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: and we know we're gonna get on the same page.

1053
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: And a game they just won on Monday Night football,

1054
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: it was like as if they had lost, and in

1055
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: a lot of ways it feels I felt like they did.

1056
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: I just I'm looking around this AFC and there's some

1057
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: really good teams and I can't wait for the Chiefs anymore.

1058
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm blowing on the Nintendo game for two months now,

1059
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: and the things still won't play the fact that you

1060
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: scored the twenty points against the New York Giants and

1061
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: you got Patrick Mahomes and Kelsey Hill. There's just too

1062
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: many other good teams the Titans even without there Kenry

1063
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and we're looking at the FC playoff picture

1064
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: right now on the show. I have to tell you,

1065
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Buffalo have something in common. Both of them

1066
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: suffered really bad losses before their buying, which is a

1067
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,959
Speaker 1: stary thing to do in the whole power ranking type

1068
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: of universe we live in, because then people forget about

1069
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: you for a couple of weeks. The Ravens got the

1070
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: clocks clean by Cincinnati and then went away, And now

1071
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: they seem to be off some kind of radar in

1072
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: the AFC where everybody's I don't know, just talking about

1073
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: different teams. I still think that they're the most dangerous

1074
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: seem to Buffalo right now. I do. And it's not

1075
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee anymore. It's not Indianapolis. I don't think it's the Raiders.

1076
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: I think it's the same team the Buffalo hosted last

1077
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: year in the playoffs. Yeah, and while Steve might not

1078
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: be ready to kick dirt on the Chiefs, I am,

1079
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: because their schedules brutal. I mean, they have green Bay,

1080
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: they have green Bay this week, they got to play

1081
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders twice. They got Dallas. Then they have Denver,

1082
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: which is always tough on defense anyway, and they got

1083
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers in their division, followed by Pittsburgh and CINC. Like,

1084
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: have fun with that, Like they're so wayward a franchise

1085
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: right now on the football field. They're not. They're not

1086
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: navigating that schedule to a playoff birth. They're done now, Brownie.

1087
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: And they say, you know, well, good teams just stack wins.

1088
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: Not about style points. It's not about just stacking wins.

1089
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: They don't stack wins. Look at the schedule. They win,

1090
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: they lose, they win, they lose, and their wins are

1091
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: just against this terrible roundup of Giants and the Washington

1092
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: and Eagles, the NFC East. Then they show up and

1093
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: play any team that matters. They play Buffalo, they play Tennessee.

1094
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: They lose. Like, I don't know, I'm not good with

1095
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: lines and you know, betting lines and whatnot. What is

1096
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: the early line with them against green Bay? Because like,

1097
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: I would never take that. I think green Bay is

1098
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: way better than them. Right now, Kansas City. If I

1099
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: were to power ranker, I like, I don't know, the

1100
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: eighteenth best team in the league. Maybe there's just it's

1101
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: just not there. And we're in week nine now, it's

1102
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: not early. What do we think about thirty six year

1103
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: old Adrian Peterson to Tennessee It's almost like it's almost

1104
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: like Tennessee said, where's do we have anybody out there

1105
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: that represents maybe even just the physical stature of Derrick Henry. Well,

1106
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: there's thirty six year old Adrian Peters. Get him in here.

1107
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: So I don't care if he's eighty six, bring him in.

1108
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: But realistically, though, Kyle, I mean, you were a running back,

1109
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: but I mean thirty six year old. I mean, I

1110
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: know he's a freak, but thirty six, I don't know.

1111
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: I have wild takes about this. First of all, I

1112
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: love that they went and found Adrian Peterson. Reminds me

1113
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: of about I guess it was twenty years ago when

1114
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: the gun for hire was Jeff George and he'd just

1115
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: be sitting somewhere at home and he's had some video

1116
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: of him throwing in his backyard. But if your quarterback

1117
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: gets hurt or you know something happens. Just called Jeff George.

1118
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: He's the gun for hire. Adrian Peterson is now the

1119
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: run for hire. I mean, this guy has been on

1120
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: the Saints, the Cardinals, Washington, the Lions, and now he's

1121
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titan. And here's my crazy take. I think

1122
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be active on Sunday Night. And I don't

1123
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: mean like that he's gonna be a part of the

1124
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: active roster. I think he's gonna be active in the

1125
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: game plan. I think they're gonna give him the ball.

1126
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: It's not going to be an insignificant amount of carries.

1127
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: And it's my upset special for the week. I think

1128
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the Titans are gonna win at the Rams because of

1129
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: the reasons that I laid out. When the Raiders let

1130
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: go John Gurdon, when he resigned in all that disaster,

1131
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,439
Speaker 1: I knew they were gonna win that game. There's something

1132
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: that happens the players in the locker room, Steve, when

1133
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: everybody counts you out, and the Raiders there was a

1134
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: disaster that week and Gruden left. Sure enough, they won

1135
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: the next week. There is nobody right now in the

1136
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: world who says the Titans have anything going for him

1137
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: and the franchises over, they might as well contract it

1138
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: and it's seasons over. I think they will rise up

1139
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: and win on Sunday Night based purely on that. And

1140
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: I actually think Adrian Peters is gonna be a big

1141
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: part of it. Yeah, I think you're right. I think

1142
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: there's something that happens to a locker room that elevates it,

1143
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: and I think this is the exact moment for the

1144
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,479
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans to make that happen. I agree with you completely. Also,

1145
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: something else that's with the AFC East. The Patriots are

1146
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: hosting or go out to LA to play a really

1147
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: good Chargers team and they get it done. I mean

1148
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: that's what are the what happened to the Chargers in

1149
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: this game? I'm really surprised that they're not more consistently dominant.

1150
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: I know they can't stop any I would say that

1151
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers were first team all September, and we talked

1152
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: about it, you guys talked about it. Staley looks like

1153
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: this fresh, young smart face, a head coach that everyone's

1154
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: looking for. You know. Herbert looks like he's you know,

1155
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 1: he's being talked about like he's Joe Montana. And then

1156
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, stuff happens, and you get your absolute tails

1157
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: kicked in by Baltimore and you go away for a while,

1158
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: and then okay, that's the bounce back games Bill Belichick against.

1159
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: You know, justin Herbert, he'll tune him up, and sure

1160
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: enough he did. This is first team All September. And

1161
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: this is why we actually get ahead of ourselves sometimes

1162
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: and talking about this league, the Chargers. Oh, we got

1163
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: all these great defensive players. We've got Derwin James and

1164
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: Boast and all that. It's not working right now. And

1165
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: it's Herbert threw a huge pick six at the end

1166
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 1: of that game. He's supposed to be this prince who

1167
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: was promised an AFC, the next Josh Allen, if you will.

1168
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: It's rough going right now, and I think teams are

1169
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: lining up to play the Chargers. I think they lost

1170
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: their whole scare factor. Yeah, I mean, you can really

1171
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: move the ball on them. They gotta outscore now win.

1172
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: They gotta outscore you to win. That's the only way

1173
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: they're winning. My question, you, Kyle Bills right now, are

1174
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: in it in the takeaway department? I mean, we talk

1175
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 1: about Josh and the offense, and I get it, but

1176
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: this defense has been downright nuts and tied for the

1177
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: league lead with eighteen takeaways. They are a stupid plus

1178
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: thirteen in the turnover margin. The next closest team is

1179
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: a plus eight. The question is is it sustainable? You

1180
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: have a friendly schedule here where you say, all right,

1181
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: you're going against you know, a rookie quarterback in Lawrence

1182
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: this week, Mike White, Zach Wilson. You know, those guys

1183
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: can be duped with coverages from power and hide. Carson

1184
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Wentz is always good for a dumb throw. So I

1185
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: mean you're almost thinking like and then Trevor Simeon potentially

1186
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: against the Saints on Thanksgiving, So it's like this could continue,

1187
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: It could continue. And I like that you talking about

1188
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the stuff, Brownie, because I think I don't know. I

1189
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: just across the country, I don't think people really know

1190
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: much about the Bills d at all. I still don't.

1191
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I still think that when the Bill's highlight comes on

1192
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Sports Center or Good Morning Football or whatever it is,

1193
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot of Josh and it's digs

1194
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: when he scores, and it's that type of stuff and

1195
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,439
Speaker 1: then it's over. But like, you just don't see those

1196
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: guys on defense. You don't hear that stat that they're

1197
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: leading the league and the takeaways and they have that differential,

1198
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: And so I don't know if you're gonna get it

1199
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: until Thanksgiving, especially not this week. I mean, I hate

1200
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: to break it's a mafia and you guys, like, no

1201
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: one is really gonna be watching Bills versus Jaguars this

1202
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: weekend nationally. It's not gonna happen. It's like, you're gonna

1203
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: look at the score. Oh, the Bills won, here's my

1204
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: fantasy team. That it's it's just not gonna be again

1205
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: that people watch. Probably not the week after that. I

1206
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: don't even know if you're gonna watch the Colts game,

1207
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: because we'll find out what happens with wins over the

1208
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: next few weeks, if he gets back on his feet.

1209
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,959
Speaker 1: That Thanksgiving game is really, really, really big because we've

1210
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,919
Speaker 1: seen it before with the Bills, and I remember Josh

1211
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Allen with the turkey leg and picking up the ball

1212
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: and the quarterback sneak and like that was a coming

1213
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: out party of sorts. But I'm looking at that New

1214
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints game. Whoever their quarterback is. It could be

1215
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, it could be somebody crazy. They signed off

1216
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: the street. That's a huge thing. And frankly, Josh has

1217
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: had his moment and he's on the Manning cast and

1218
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: he's beautiful, and Peyton Son is where in his jersey,

1219
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: and God bless them and God bless Diggs and everything.

1220
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: I hope that is a day for the for the

1221
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Bill's defense, because I still think that all eleven of

1222
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: those guys could walk through any town in USA and

1223
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: would not be stopped on the street. They don't have

1224
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: that sort of first name thing. I Trey Wyatt Poyer maybe,

1225
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: but they don't have those guys yet, and I think

1226
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: they deserve it. Yeah, I think you're right. It's I

1227
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: think it comes from the fact that Bills play like

1228
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: twenty three guys on defense. It's not it's hard to

1229
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: be a star on this defense, particularly in the front seven,

1230
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: because they rotate everybody through. Everybody stays fresh, the defensive

1231
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: backs and a power and hide. They're spreading the turnovers

1232
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: out over everybody. Everybody's you know, not one guy with

1233
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: seven guys with interceptions like Tray Digs down in Dallas

1234
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: got ninety thousand interceptions him and he kind of stands

1235
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: out nobody else. It's hard to stand out in this

1236
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: defense because it is kind of a group effort and

1237
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: it's really interesting to watch. Um, I'm with you though,

1238
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: this team. This we used to have a thing when

1239
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: I worked for CBS and I did games in the booth.

1240
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,439
Speaker 1: I always got the skim milk game is like one

1241
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: percent of the country, one percent of the country is

1242
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: getting the game right. It's gonna be Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills,

1243
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: and one percent of the television audience around the country

1244
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be watching the game. That's nobody's gonna be

1245
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about this game. This is I mean, even

1246
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Vegas will probably take this game off the board. I mean,

1247
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? They open up as a

1248
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half favorite. It's crazy. Oh wow. We

1249
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: used to we used to refer to the Jacksonville Jaguars

1250
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: as the Thursday night football house band and like they

1251
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: were just on a they're playing and we were used

1252
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: to it. But listen, I mean when I say about

1253
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense at some point though hat that showcase, Brownie,

1254
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: did you say seven different players of interceptions? Yes? Oh

1255
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: my god, because I remember last year we talked about

1256
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: how many different players on touchdown touchdown catches because it

1257
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: was like I think it was more than eleven or

1258
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: it was some crazy fourteen last year. Yeah, okay, yeah,

1259
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: which ed like all right, And I think prior to

1260
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: that the record was the Matt Ryan's Super Bowl Falcons

1261
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: team that Kyle Shanahan was running the offense had a

1262
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 1: lot of different players catch passes. So this is the

1263
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: new goal now for Buffalo. Yeh, there's seven guys who

1264
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: have picks. I want a new guy this weekend. We

1265
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: gotta entertain ourself with something right, and you know it's doable.

1266
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: It's certainly doable, especially if the game gets out of

1267
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: whack and you get some backups in there, because that's

1268
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: what happened in the Houston. Talk about this on Good

1269
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: Morning Football this week. I need I'm gonna come up with.

1270
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: You don't know the list, do you, Brinie? Yeah, I

1271
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: got right here, the magnificent step Who do you got?

1272
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: So it's Poyer and Hide have three each, so they're

1273
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: a top the team lead. But Jaquan Johnson and Tyler

1274
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: Matacavich each had one in the Houston blowout game because

1275
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: they had the starters off the field, and then Levi

1276
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Wallace had one down in Miami in Week two, Tremaine

1277
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: Edmonds had to pick here. I believe it was against Washington,

1278
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: and then Gregory Rousseau against the Chiefs. All right, so

1279
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing is we have seven in different interceptions

1280
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: and Trydevius White is not one of them. No, that's correct.

1281
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Oh wow? And also arrow Yeah, Taron Johnson too. Taron

1282
01:07:55,760 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: Johnson had one called back um against Washington for the season.

1283
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it eleven players because there's eleven on defense.

1284
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: I think this is actually really fascinating this because this

1285
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: is the way we get this defense recognized. And I

1286
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: wonder what the record is for how many different players

1287
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: in the league. We'll have to look into this. I

1288
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,799
Speaker 1: have to look that last one from me, Kyle Um.

1289
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: I think this should be a stipulation to add to

1290
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: angry runs this week. If if Josh Allen somewhere in

1291
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, truck's Josh Allen, it is an automatic angry run.

1292
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: Tight It's automatic. I need your commitment on this, all right.

1293
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: This is great because sometimes we have these fun things

1294
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: that happen, Like I remember there was once um a

1295
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 1: tight end named Jordan Cameron and he went against Cameron.

1296
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: This is gonna be great. So if Josh Allen of

1297
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo trucks Josh Allen of Jacksonville, absolutely, and listen, Josh

1298
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: Allen was nominated today, he didn't win the pills fens

1299
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: are so mad about. Oh my god, I want to

1300
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: hear it. Yeah, and here's one us here's one other

1301
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: thing about this play. Kyle, the first guy that makes

1302
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: contact with him, he turns into a toboggan on the play.

1303
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy isn't even mentioned. Look at this toboggan. Yeah, listen,

1304
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: I start speaking in tongues during that segment. I don't

1305
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: really remember where I am and will come back and

1306
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 1: be like, oh, that one's really good. But if the

1307
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Bills fans, if there's a shot of Josh Allen on

1308
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: the sideline during the game and he crumples up a

1309
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 1: cup of gatorway through angry run, give him the scepter.

1310
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:40,799
Speaker 1: That's no easy, guys, not everything, but as for the earned,

1311
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: there'll be more. And if he trucks Josh Allen, Brownie,

1312
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: not only will I do it, I'll shout out you

1313
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: guys to show everything. I'll make a whole about Josh

1314
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Allen over, Josh, I promise one thing, last one for

1315
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: me before we go halfway through the NFL season seventeen

1316
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: game schedule. We've got a lot of stuff going the

1317
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs fading, the Bills kind of stands strong that all

1318
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: the stuff's going on, the stuff with all the backup

1319
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming in and having their day. What grabs you

1320
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: most about this first half of the season, anything like

1321
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: standing out a theme or whatever we had we have.

1322
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: We've got stuff going on about the officials here in Buffalo,

1323
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 1: how they're struggling. The sky judge has been surprisingly absent,

1324
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: I think welcome so because they're changing plays and changing

1325
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: spots without anybody knowing it. They're getting stuff right exact exactly.

1326
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: But seventeen scheduling the bye weeks, Um, we're in the

1327
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: middle of a marathon here, and it happened really fast

1328
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: to me. This is week eight and halfway through this

1329
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: weekend week. It's week nine. Yeah, we're halfway. Yeah. It

1330
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of feels like when your kids grow up, you're like, you,

1331
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: how are you eight years old? Already? Away? Week week nine? Already?

1332
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: What is going on here? I listened. There's certainly lots

1333
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: of things you're talking about Steve that. You know, the

1334
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: whole Tauntsian thing was really big when the season started,

1335
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 1: and now we we did backup quarterbacks this week, and

1336
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: who stays healthy for me? It's just, um, there's some

1337
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: really league good teams in the NFC. There's only seven

1338
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: playoff spots available in the NFC when the season starts,

1339
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: five of them already locked up. Five it's done. You

1340
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: can you can look up the Packers, the Cowboys, the Rams,

1341
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: the Bucks, the Cardinals are going to the playoffs. The

1342
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: probability is overwhelming. There's only two more spots. There's only

1343
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: so somebody outlandish is going to make the NFC playoffs.

1344
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 1: Now it might be the Panthers. I don't know who

1345
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: the Saints quarterback is going to be, so I don't

1346
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: know where they go even at five and two. But

1347
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: as we're sitting here, we could see the Niners in

1348
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We could see somebody crazy like Philadelphia. Someone

1349
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: has to take that seventh spot, and I don't know

1350
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 1: who it is yet. But my god, the NFC is

1351
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: so loaded and so top heavy that I don't know

1352
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: who's making the playoffs at the end. But Edward as

1353
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: the AFC I mean there's maybe two locks, but the

1354
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: Bills being one, maybe Baltimore. I think there's five spots

1355
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: available in the end in the AFC, there's two in

1356
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: the NFC. It's already almost a capacity. So whoever comes

1357
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: out of there, to me, is infinitely more inter seeing

1358
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: that any kind of officiating or taunting or anything, because

1359
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 1: one of those teams is going to the super Bowl

1360
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 1: with nine with nine weeks to go in the in

1361
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 1: the season or virtually. Yeah, the AFC has eleven teams

1362
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: within two spots of the one seed. Eleven teams or

1363
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: within two games of the number one seed. There's there's

1364
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: eleven teams that are four and four or better and

1365
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: the top guys when the six and two. I mean,

1366
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: that's not a big spread between eleven teams. And there's

1367
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: some crazy ones too. Like the team that I'm feeling

1368
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 1: right now and I felt them a couple of weeks ago,

1369
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: is the team the Bills know very well the Steelers.

1370
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: Steelers haven't lost a game in like a month, and

1371
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: they're just one of these teams about Like, I want

1372
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers out of the picture. I don't want them

1373
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: a factor because there's just too much going for them,

1374
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: experienced talent, coaching everything that. Let's say they sneak into

1375
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: a wild card. I don't I don't care how old

1376
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is. I don't want to play them. I'd rather

1377
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,480
Speaker 1: some up and comer who's never been there before, like Cincinnati.

1378
01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: But I like the way the Steelers are playing right

1379
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: now too. Yeah all right, Kyle, we kept along enough.

1380
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: Thanks as always for the time. Well done on Angry

1381
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,920

1382
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: it is. Um, it's as close to WWE's you're gonna

1383
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: get on a football program, and we love the hell

1384
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: out of it. So thanks for that. I come here

Speaker 1: are the best. Have a good week. Talk to you.

1387
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,839
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, that's Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football

1388
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: joining us. And uh, we need to hope and pray

1389
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: for a Josh Allen trucking of Josh Allen on Sunday.

1390
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: That's we just hope it's not a Josh Allen tipped

1391
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: interception from Josh Allen. Now, why do you have to go?

1392
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 1: Because I want to I don't want to go too

1393
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: far one way and have it go the other. We

1394
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: gotta be ready for everything because he's gonna be God,

1395
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: he just sucked all the energy out of the room

1396
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 1: with that. Don't do that to me. Yeah, that's interesting

1397
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: because I thought for a minute that Josh Allen was

1398
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: going to be on the Buffalo Bill the other Josh

1399
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: Allen was gonna Oh you did? Yeah, yeah, Now that

1400
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,600
Speaker 1: would have been something that would have been something that

1401
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 1: would have been I mean, memes galore, oh, spider Man,

1402
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: spider Man everything. That was easy. Oh yeah, where they

1403
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: pointed each other, Right, that's the first one you thought of.

1404
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I like it. So yeah, this I'm

Speaker 1: I'm laughing, he was laughing. I we did. I did

1406
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: a ton of one percent two percent games for CBS.

1407
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: I've never heard it referred to as the skim milk

1408
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: game though. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I will

1409
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: give that and one for Steve on that. You know

1411
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: was he'd never heard it. Either's Dick Enberg. He's like,

1412
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, well, the reason he never heard of

1413
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: it because he never had anyone. He had the four

1414
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 1: o'clock National Game every single week on NBC. Yeah, here

1417
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 1: to me, all right, we gotta take a break. When

1425
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 1: ninety minutes. Ninety oh yeah, ninety minutes. What am I saying?

1426
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: It's ninety minutes. I can't do math on the fly.

1427
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: I gotta write it down. Is he never do it

Speaker 1: Bills being involved in trade talks around the league tell

1463
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:17,439

Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bills live. Thanks for Roydon. Hey,

1466
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: how's it calling? Yeah, it's going good. I just had

1467
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,759
Speaker 1: a question about Okay, after the two point conversion attempt,

1468
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Josh to the bye bye way of six. Yeah to

1469
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, right, okay? Now, Cede Lamb on Dallas got

1470
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: team likes ten grand for doing the same thing the

1471
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: week before. Yeah, I just wondered, is it a common thing?

1472
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: Like are they doing that now? Well, it's part of

1473
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: it's part of the new point of emphasis on taunting.

1474
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 1: UM I was, I'll be quite honest with you, Bob,

1475
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: I was very surprised that Josh did not draw draw

1476
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: a penalty. He still might draw fine though, but he

1477
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: can still draw a fine. You can still draw a fine. Yeah,

1478
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: you can still draw a fine the following week. They're

1479
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: usually handed down by the league on Thursday. I'll say

1480
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: this too. I'll say this, um, I was, that's a

1481
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,679
Speaker 1: little out of character for me. For Josh. He'll spin

1482
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,639
Speaker 1: the ball and do all that, but that wave goodbye.

1483
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: I'll sell you what happened. They got him down on

1484
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: the two point. The guy tried to bend Yeah, he

1485
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: tried to bend his leg. Yeah. He tried to give

1486
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: him a little extra down the down in the pile,

1487
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 1: and Josh reached down, grabbed his face mask and pushed

1488
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 1: him off. And there was there was some back and

1489
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,799
Speaker 1: forth about the guy given Josh a little cheap stuff.

1490
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Josh's engine was running hot, so done what that guy

1491
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: was trying to do? Right, So Josh was running hot

1492
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: and gave him the bye bye wave because he was

1493
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, get him, get him back and

1494
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 1: retaliate for what they were trying to do to his leg.

1495
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: That's what happened there, So tempers were flaring. There was

1496
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: a couple of other instances in the game too that

1497
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: you can think of and go back and watch the

1498
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: game you can see as well. So Miami and and

1499
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,719
Speaker 1: it happened when Josh busted in for the touchdown too.

1500
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: You know, he gave that linebacker a little something after

1501
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: his two yards in the end zone. The guy kind

1502
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:15,799
Speaker 1: of let up and it was not a big collision,

1503
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 1: you know, but Josh gave that guy a little business.

1504
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: He almost got flagged in the end zone for spinning

1505
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: the ball and walking up on the guy. So Josh

1506
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: was his temperature was turned up in the last minute

1507
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: or two of that game, and particularly so on that

1508
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:34,560
Speaker 1: two point conversion. So that's where that came from. But

1509
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Josh. I wouldn't have been

1510
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: surprised if Josh had gotten a penalty, And I will

1511
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: not be surprised. In fact, I'm expecting him to get fined,

1512
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: probably gonna get fined. Back to the phones at eight

1513
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one, eight eight five fifty two

1514
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: five fifty we go to Gary and Amhurst. Gary, what

1515
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

1516
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: Hey guys, just a couple of items. Sure, as far

1517
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 1: as your topic today, I think we need to beef

1518
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: up the old line to open up a lane for

1519
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: our running backs. I mean, we don't have a Derrick Henry.

1520
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: We need a little more openness than our old line.

1521
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: The second item is Jake Kumarole seems to be sitting

1522
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 1: on the bench a lot. He's got the size and

1523
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 1: the speed I would think equal to Sweeney. Why don't

1524
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: they utilize Coumarole as a tight end? He seems to

1525
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: have the ability, he catches the ball well, and he's

1526
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: got more speed than Sweeney. Probably, yeah, I wouldn't. He's

1527
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,679
Speaker 1: not as big as Sweeney or Dawson Knox. He's as tall,

1528
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: he's just not as broad. Should he's almost as tall, Yeah,

1529
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 1: but he's light compared to them. And also he does

1530
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,920
Speaker 1: get in the game. In fact, i'm he gets in

1531
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: the game at wide receiver more than I would. Then

1532
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: you might notice a lot of times they run the

1533
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: football when he's on, not completely, but sometimes he's a

1534
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,680
Speaker 1: really good physical downfield presence. He's on the team, and

1535
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: he's up and active because he does mix it up

1536
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: on special teams a lot. He's a physical tackler. He

1537
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: gets down the field, covers a lot of ground and

1538
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 1: covers kicks really well. Good tackler, and he's not afraid

1539
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 1: of the contact. So he does have his role on

1540
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: game day. But if you want him, you know, if

1541
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: you want him to be in there as something more,

1542
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: I mean, that's hard to do mid season. Yeah, Plus,

1543
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna sit somebody down. So who you're gonna sit down,

1544
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 1: You're gonna sit down Dawson Knox Probably not, No, I

1545
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: think he was saying in plays of Sweeney. But well,

1546
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: I understand you might get a little more athleticism out

1547
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 1: of Kumarro, but all the other things at a tight

1548
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: end has to do. I don't know if Kumarro fits

1549
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 1: the bill for that. If Kumarro's on the field instead

1550
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: of Sweeney, the defense counters with somebody other than the

1551
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:57,480
Speaker 1: guy that's Garden Sweeney. Sweeney's match up against a linebacker

1552
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: is more advantageous and better than Moro's matchup on a

1553
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 1: safety or a corner for that matter. So that's what

1554
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: you're looking at that and that's a balance you kind

1555
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 1: of got to say. Okay, I think in against the

1556
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 1: Dolphins in this week because we don't have Knox. Maybe

1557
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Cumero did get a few extra snaps. I'd have to

1558
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 1: go back and check. But I get your point. I

1559
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: get your point, Gary, but it's not as easy as

1560
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: just plugging one guy in and plug and unplugging the other.

1561
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,679
Speaker 1: Just to bring everybody up to speed on the trade

1562
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 1: front across the league, multiple national reporters are now reporting

1563
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 1: that any chance of Miami making a trade for Deshaun

1564
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:43,760
Speaker 1: Watson right now during the season are dead. What is

1565
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: interesting is Dolphins owner Stephen Ross received permission to speak

1566
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson directly, but that only happened last night,

1567
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 1: and most of the reporters, including NFL Network, Sing and

1568
01:22:56,760 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: Rapp Report, are saying as complicated a deal as this

1569
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: has been between Miami and Houston, that wasn't enough time

1570
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: to get a deal consummated. Really love to be a

1571
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 1: fly on the wall for that conversation. Can you imagine that? Yeah,

1572
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: what that conversation was like, I have to imagine. It's

1573
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: a little awkward, right, that's tough. Well, I mean that's

1574
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: kind of the world where de Sean lives these days. Yeah,

1575
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: So basically, Deshaun Watson is now expected to remain on

1576
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: the Texans roster until after this season, and then they

1577
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 1: can explore trades in the off season. I gotta tell you,

1578
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm not all that certain that his legal situation is

1579
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: going to be any clearer than now, which is pretty

1580
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:50,240
Speaker 1: murky and uncertain. So I don't know. I'm not going

1581
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 1: to pretend to know the procedural efficiency of the Texas

1582
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 1: court system, but more often than not, it takes time.

1583
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, I mean, the guy

1584
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 1: is going to play football in a finite amount of time. Here,

1585
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: He is going to lose a full year of his

1586
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: career at least, and his legal situation hasn't even come

1587
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 1: close to being adjudicated or resolved in any way, shape

1588
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: or form. Think about this, though, You've got now reported

1589
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 1: and confirmed that the owner of your football team is

1590
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: talking to the guy what's your quarterback over there? Thinking now, yeah,

1591
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: now that it's come out that you talked to Deshaun

1592
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: Watson buy phone personally last night. Now they're out on that.

1593
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: But what's too We have no interest. You're our guy,

1594
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: to an honest or obviously it's like, yeah, you did

1595
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: have interest, So forget about whatever happens to forget about that.

1596
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Now you're not too happy with me, right, and now

1597
01:24:57,760 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: take that a step further to the rest of the lot.

1598
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: And Steve Well, hold on a second. You're asking us

1599
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: to back this kid at quarterback when you were ready

1600
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: to deal for another guy to replace him. Why should

1601
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: we be back in that horse when you won't even

1602
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: back him and you drafted him fifth overall, that's the

1603
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: kind of that's dysfunction with a capital D, isn't it.

1604
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: That's the kind of situation we were talking about earlier

1605
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,719
Speaker 1: in the show when you got you know, like guys

1606
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,799
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, like like O. B. J. And Baker Mayfield

1607
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: apparently not you know, really seeing eye to eye or

1608
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: getting along or being productive together and having a little

1609
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: bit of a rift or their relationship isn't a thousand

1610
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: percent what it should be. All of that stuff, and

1611
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 1: everybody's got to live with those two guys. This is

1612
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: exactly what they're talking about. You're gonna go out and

1613
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: play on an offense with a quarterback that everybody in

1614
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: the building knows isn't long for this world. You know,

1615
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be gone if they can find a way

1616
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 1: to get rid of him. He's gonna be gone, you know. Well,

1617
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean by calling Deshaun Watson essentially stamp yourself as

1618
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: not having confidence that Ta is your guy, right and

1619
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 1: that oh, by the way, Chris Greer is our GM.

1620
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: But the buck stops with me. Yeah, well, I think

1621
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: everybody knew that anyway. Yeah, everybody, every owners that way,

1622
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: but most Yeah, when you when when he allows himself

1623
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 1: to be inserted into there and and it gets made public,

1624
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: that's a little bit different everything, And it should be

1625
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: that way. The guy's right in the checks, So yeah,

1626
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 1: if he's gonna come out of him, no, that's what

1627
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: That's the way it goes. So that's the way it

1628
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: isn't every team in every building, Most owners, I don't know,

1629
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: most the good ones are saying, how are you going

1630
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: to handle this? How can I help? I didn't think

1631
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 1: it besier down there, but it has. Congratulations Miami, I mean,

1632
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,920
Speaker 1: good lord, it's a tire fire. It's terrible. Well, and

1633
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: then to dealing with another tire fire. Yeah, all right,

1634
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break. When we come back, we'll

1635
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: tell you who. The Bills might be facing a quarterback

1636
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 1: when they play the Saints on Thanksgiving, and it may

1637
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: be a quarterback who isn't even on the roster right now.

1638
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 1: We'll let you know who when we come back Here

1639
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Colloid to Health. It's

1640
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. The inside the number is brought to

1641
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: you by the New York Lottery. Get out there and play.

1642
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen recorded touchdowns by a both rushing and passing

1643
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 1: for the nineteenth time in his career, extending his Bills

1644
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: quarterback record. That figure is also the second most by

1645
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback in his first four seasons, behind one

1646
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:52,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Is here a New York Lottery inside the

1647
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: Numbers Steve. Before the break, we said there could be

1648
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 1: another candidate to be the Saints ter back on Thanksgiving

1649
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 1: when they host the Bills in a Thursday night affair

1650
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: on Turkey Day, and that person could be Philip Rivers.

1651
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers says he is open to listening to the

1652
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: Saints about returning to the league. This according to The

1653
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: La Times Sam Farmer. Last season, as you know, Rivers

1654
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 1: took the Colts to the wild Card round, lost to

1655
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:28,879
Speaker 1: the Bills twenty seven, twenty four. He has been coaching

1656
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: his son's team in high school football but come Thanksgiving,

1657
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 1: high school football's over cop that. Yeah, what do we think?

1658
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 1: You know what? Football's over with? Okay, now I got

1659
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: that wrapped up. Did the thing. I got time. I

1660
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: got time for eight games for you. No, I got

1661
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:49,640
Speaker 1: time for six games. I got time for six or

1662
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: seven games for you. Yeah? Sure, no, Come on, man,

1663
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what. Sean Payton's a great coach.

1664
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:56,080
