1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: player for you, state Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy here, all right. It

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: is a Tuesday edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: along with Maddy Glab here for three hours to get

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: you going and get you ready for what is Patriots Week,

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: Patriot's Week. We're ready to dial it up with you

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: at eight oh three oh five fifty one eight and

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: eighty five fifty two five fifty to get on board

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: with us and among the things we have to discuss,

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on with Cam Newton. This guy

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: comes back from COVID. Do you know he actually got

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: asked a question? Yeah, day, it was either Sunday after

15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: the game, Yeah, I think it was Sunday. After the game.

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: He was asked, are you experiencing any of the symptoms

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: that's known as brain fog which some people who have

18
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: dealt with COVID have experienced after they recover from COVID nineteen,

19
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: where you know, they just can't process things, they can't multitask,

20
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: and they've medical experts have labeled it brain fog. Cam

21
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: Newton they thought played so poorly on Sunday they were

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: asking him questions about brain fog. That's where the Patriots

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: are in twenty twenty. Would we have ever thought we

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: would have been here with the Patriots in twenty twenty?

25
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: Not sure. I think when Cam Newton was announced that

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: he was going to the Patriots, a ton of us

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: were like, m, well, are the Bills still the favorites

28
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: in the AFC East. I'm a little scared about what

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: Cam Newton could do with the Patriots, But through eight

30
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: weeks it's proven not so much. He's thrown two touchdown passes,

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: has four interceptions through three of those interceptions this past

32
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: week against the forty nine ers, was obviously on that

33
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: COVID list and missed some time. Was back against the

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, not the best game through under one

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: hundred yards. Was benched in that game, and he said,

36
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I just need to stop doubting myself

37
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: as much, stop getting in my head about what the

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: defense is giving me, kind of just go through the motions,

39
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: play naturally a little bit, stop trying to think through

40
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: so many things. In Belichick was asked, like you said

41
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: about Cam Newton and COVID and if he was experiencing

42
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: any symptoms or any more that has to do with

43
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: co Yeah, and Belichick was like, I don't. I don't

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: think so, but it's right to wonder something like that

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: after that game that he had. Yeah, and the Patriots

46
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: are two and four. This is not familiar territory for

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: them or their fans. In late October, they usually don't

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: have a loss yet, So this is uncharted territory for

49
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: a franchise that has been the most successful in the

50
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: league over the course of the last twenty years. And

51
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: there are a myriad of problems. Cam Newton struggling because

52
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: he don't have any receivers that can get open. That's

53
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: number one. Number two. They've started five different offensive line

54
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: combinations in six games, and it may be changed again

55
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: this week because Joe Tuoney, their Pro Bowl left guard,

56
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: he left last week's game with an ankle injury. So

57
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: too did Justin Herron, who is not always starting, but

58
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: one of their top six or seven linemen. He left

59
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: the game with an ankle injury last week, So yeah,

60
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: they could potentially have some more injury issues on their

61
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: offensive line, and then taking it a step Further, an

62
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: uncharacteristic thing that the Patriots have done this season is

63
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: turned the ball over. They have fourteen giveaways in six games.

64
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: That's more and they've had in some seasons, like a

65
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: sixteen game season, they haven't had fourteen giveaways. They've got

66
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: fourteen in six games. I just think it amplifies the

67
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: precipitous fall that this team has taken, where it's kind

68
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: of fallen back to the rest of the pack, where

69
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: their performance is not airtight each and every week, and

70
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: even maybe when they don't play their best football, it's

71
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: still better than the team they're playing against, who sometimes

72
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: contributes to beating themselves. And that's how the Patriots win

73
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: more often than not, just by playing consistent and smart football.

74
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: But their football has been substandard and error filled to

75
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: this point. Now, they've played some good opponents, I mean

76
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco, I mean ran over them like a steam roller.

77
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Last week they played the Seahawks, which is a good

78
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: offensive team, not necessarily a great defensive team, because they

79
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: did score thirty points on them. And that game comes

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: down to whether Cam Newton gets in the end zone

81
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: or not at the end of the game, and if

82
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: he does, they beat the Seahawks instead of losing thirty

83
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: five thirty. So ch like we were discussing yesterday, Maddie,

84
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: how we're still trying to get a handle on the

85
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: identity of the Bills. I don't know if any of

86
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: us outside the walls of one Patriot Place really have

87
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: a handle on what this Patriots team is either, because

88
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: it is so different from what we've seen in the past. Yeah,

89
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: you look at where they rank in a lot of

90
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: different categories, and it is uncharacteristic as to how this

91
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: Patriots team has played in years past. One thing that

92
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: remains true about the Patriots and their discipline. I was

93
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: looking up some stats this morning. They rank first with

94
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: the lowest amount of penalties. They have fifteen only, which

95
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: is a little crazy. The Bills are in the upper forties,

96
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: I want to say, in rank twenty ninth or twenty

97
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: eighth and penalties. So that's something that the Patriots do

98
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: have going for them. Of course, they also have that

99
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: rushing offense, but their leading rusher is Cam Newton. Do

100
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: you want your leading rusher to be the quarterback? Could

101
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: ask you have you have Wreck Burkhead, who is their

102
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: second leading rusher, but just a lot of question marks. Yes,

103
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: with the Patriots their identity, who knows what it is.

104
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Sitting at two and four ranked ranked third in the

105
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: AFC East. This is a team that has taken a

106
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: dramatic change from last year to this year. Without Tom Brady,

107
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: with all of those players opting out because of COVID,

108
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: that defense really looks different now without several of their leaders.

109
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: You do have Stefan Gilmour there, but I mean it's

110
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: just a different team. Yeah, the secondary is still the

111
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: strength of their team because that's largely unchanged from last year.

112
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: Just about everything else looks dramatically different. I mean, I

113
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: know that Bills fans are gonna watch this game on Sunday.

114
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 1: They're gonna hear these names getting called out making plays

115
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: on defense for this Patriots team. That kind of be like,

116
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: who who's that guy? And on the offensive side, outside

117
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: of Julian Edelman and maybe some of the running backs

118
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: who have been there for years, like Burkehead and James,

119
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna hear receivers names they've never heard of either.

120
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: So it's it's different. It's different in New England. Now,

121
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: what's the end result. Obviously, they've got ten more games

122
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: to play Bills have nine, but this is a pretty

123
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: big division game. Obviously, all division games are big, but

124
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: I think the reason why this week's division game, especially

125
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: for the Bills, is critically important is because they win

126
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: this game, the Bills go four and o in the division,

127
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: and not only that, they put the Patriots further in

128
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: the rearview mirror. They could make the Patriots two and

129
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: five two seven games. I mean, I don't even feel

130
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: right saying it. It doesn't even sound right. And yet

131
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: here we are and the Dolphins are, as we know,

132
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: a game and a half back. They were on the

133
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: by last week. They have to play the Rams this week,

134
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: and they do get the Rams on a short week

135
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: because they just played last night. But still, That's why

136
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: our Twitter question today is how critical is Sunday's game

137
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: against the Patriots when it comes to the division race?

138
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: And our MST viewers are looking at the division race

139
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: right now. The Bills are three and oz in the division,

140
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: while the Patriots are one and Oh we know, the

141
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: Jets don't have a win anywhere, so they're obviously winless

142
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: in the division, and the Dolphins are one and two.

143
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: They lost to the Bills and they lost to the Patriots,

144
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: I believe. So those are their two losses in the division,

145
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: and they beat the Jets, so it's it's not nip

146
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: and tuck right now. But if the Bills drop this

147
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: game this week, now they're five and three. Dolphins get

148
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: a win, now they are a half a game back,

149
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: and you know, you start biting your nails a little

150
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: bit because you know that Gauntlet portion of the schedule

151
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 1: is coming up here with Arizona and Seattle and Pittsburgh,

152
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: and so it's gonna get the rubber is going to

153
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: meet the road here real soon. So in my estimation,

154
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: you got to get this division game in the bag.

155
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: And because I think a lot of people look at

156
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: the schedule, Maddie and they say, Okay, the Chargers look

157
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: like it looks like a lot tougher game than we

158
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: anticipated at the beginning of the season. Yes, because Justin

159
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Herbert is dealing right now. He's a higher rated quarterback

160
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: than Josh Allen right now, that's how well he's playing.

161
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: But Patriots, Seahawks, Cardinals, Chargers, Niners, Steelers, Hello, like really,

162
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: And on top of that, you have these night games,

163
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: so you're playing on Monday, you're playing on Sunday night.

164
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: So it's not like all of these tough games are

165
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: going to be one o'clock kicks where this team is

166
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: completely used to that and playing on Sunday and having

167
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: a full week. No, you're gonna be on short weeks

168
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: for some of these games. They're gonna be night kicks.

169
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: They're away. Some of these stadiums have fans. Is that

170
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: a big deal? I don't know. So you've got a

171
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: tough stretch coming up. You do have your by to

172
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: look forward to in week eleven, but man, stack those

173
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: wins while you can. And I see a Patriots team

174
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't look as strong as they used to be. Attack, attack,

175
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: So let us know at eight fifty how critical you

176
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: think this Sunday's game is when it comes to the

177
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: division race. Bills are three to o in the division.

178
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: Patriots are one to know in the division. In two

179
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: and a half games back and you can you have choices,

180
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: will give you choices here on one Bills Live. We're

181
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: making it easy for you. So it's a they must

182
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: win to keep the distance at the top b not

183
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: a must win, but they need to at least split

184
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: with the Patriots this season. See, they need to sweep

185
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: the division with the schedule coming up which we just discussed,

186
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: or d it's not necessary. Division is weaker this year

187
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: than anticipated, So you can let us know at eight

188
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: five fifty or hit us up on the tweet sheet

189
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: at one bills Live and we'll be happy to take

190
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: your comments there. And we should also mention that coming

191
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: up on the show a little bit less than an

192
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: hour will be Kyle Brandt making his weekly appearance from

193
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: Good Morning foot Ball. Always an entertaining discussion with him,

194
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: so we look forward to that. We'll also get some

195
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: sound and some commentary from Buffalo's two coordinators, Brian Dable

196
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: and Leslie Frazier. We'll walk you through some of that

197
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: and kind of comment on some of their thoughts. They

198
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: had some interesting takes on players like Dane Jackson Jerry Hughes.

199
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: There was also some comments from Brian Dable on Cole Beasley,

200
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: among others. So we'll get to that in due course.

201
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: And as we said, we're taking your phone calls at

202
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: eight o three five fifty. We may even play a

203
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: little bit of What's for Lunch, Mattie, because we haven't

204
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: done that in a while, and that's always a fun segment,

205
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: so that'll be coming up at one thirty. It don't

206
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: mean to make you hungry, because I know you did

207
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: not eat before we got on the show right now,

208
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: and if you don't eat before noon on this show,

209
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: you're not eating again until three. And I don't know

210
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: how you did that yesterday, not eating a tea. We

211
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: might trying to during the commercial breaks this week or today.

212
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: We'll see if I have any food in my teeth

213
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: the viewers can want. Yeah, that's always the concern when

214
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: the show is simulcast on radio end television, that you've

215
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: got that situation sitting with you. I don't know where

216
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: you are on this, Mattie, but I feel like they've

217
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: got to have this win. I don't know that I

218
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: would call it a must win, but I'd certainly be

219
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: breathing a lot easier with a four and oh record

220
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: in the division and a six and two record overall

221
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: at the midway point of the season. I don't want

222
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: to even leave the door open a crack for the Patriots.

223
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: I just don't completely agree with that. I think it's

224
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: a must win because you have this team at the

225
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: point with where they're at with the Patriots two and four,

226
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: they've had three straight losses. I think you look at

227
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: the Bills, they have an advantage here. Hopefully they get

228
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more healthy this week. Hopefully Matt Milano

229
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: and Tremaine Edmonds continue to get healthy and continue to

230
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: play a little bit more snaps than they did last

231
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: week against the Jets. So I think this a must

232
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: win because who knows what's going to happen down the road,

233
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: who knows what injuries could lie ahead for this team,

234
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: who knows what could happen with the season and covid.

235
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: I think every week is a must week for this team,

236
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: especially against the team they haven't beat since twenty sixteen.

237
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott is searching for his first win against the

238
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Patriots as the Bills head coach. Why not get this

239
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: one while you can. Yeah. Now, the thing is, people

240
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: are probably looking at last week's game against the Jets,

241
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: especially outside observers, and they're saying, Wow, a little tighter

242
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: than we thought it would be for the Bills with

243
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: the Jets. But the Jets always kind of give them

244
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: a tough game. They don't lay down, and I think

245
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: we saw that to some degree, even though it is

246
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: a strip down roster, I'll admit that. And so I

247
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: think people are still wondering what kind of Bill's team

248
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: is going to show up on Sunday against the Patriots.

249
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: Is it going to be that high flying offensive team.

250
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: Is Bill Belichick in to come up with some defensive

251
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: scheme to keep this offense under wraps? Is he going

252
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: to take a page out of the book of the

253
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: last three defensive coordinators against this Bills team, where they

254
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: kept everything in front of them and forced them to,

255
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, nicol and dime their way down the field?

256
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: Or did Josh show enough patience last week in using

257
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: what was given to him to still roll up four

258
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two yards of offense. Might that steer

259
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: him in a different direction? I don't know. But a second,

260
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: this is probably the best secondary they've faced this season. Yes,

261
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: so there's that. So maybe New England isn't shy about

262
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: playing a little man or maybe some bracket coverage I

263
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: assume if I mean, if John Brown's available, that's a

264
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: huge help because what has been the prevailing problem for

265
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: this Bill's offense against the Patriots defense over the years,

266
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: It's been that they really only have one or two

267
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: things that they can really rely on offensively, and the

268
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: Patriots always take that one most important thing away and

269
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: then it's on that one other thing to kind of

270
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: carry the load offensively, and that always proves to be

271
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: a difficult lift, and then they don't score enough points

272
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: and they lose the football game. Well, this year is

273
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: probably different from that standpoint, provided you're healthy. So if

274
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,239
Speaker 1: John Brown can practice this week and play and play effectively,

275
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: I think that's a huge ad for this matchup this week.

276
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: Because if you go four wide, yes, the Patriots have

277
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: four good cornerbacks. I mean, JC Jackson is a nickel,

278
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: you got mccordy and Gilmore. That's a pretty good top three.

279
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: I just gotta say. But if you can go four wide,

280
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, and now you put Jonathan Jones on the

281
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: field their fourth corner, maybe now you get the matchups

282
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: you're looking for. It's harder to bracket coverage when you

283
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: have four wide receivers out in the formation. I wouldn't

284
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: be opposed. And I've been banging the drum for this

285
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: to go twenty personnel, go split backs with Moss and singletary,

286
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: and then go three wide, or go two wide and

287
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: a tight end, whatever you want. To do. I just

288
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: think that affords Josh a bounty of options and I

289
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: think there are matchup advantages to be had there, So

290
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: how they choose to attack is going to be interesting.

291
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: But John Brown's availability this week will be huge, huge,

292
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: because you've seen the difference when he's not out on

293
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: the field, right, You've missed him on the field. They

294
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: can only do They can do a lot without him,

295
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: but they can't do as much as they did in

296
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: weeks one through four with John Brown. I mean, he

297
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: is so important to this team. I think we've seen

298
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: these added weapons and what they can do, and what

299
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: this offense can do when you're healthy and playing against

300
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots. What haven't we had you just touched on it.

301
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: We haven't had those amount of weapons. So if you

302
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: bring John Brown into the mix, I think you see

303
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: a lot more success from this offense. I think you

304
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: see success in the red zone, which we did not

305
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: have last week against the Jets. That's a big question

306
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: mark heading into this game. After they've been successful in

307
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: the red zone to start the season ranking seventh. Going

308
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: into the Jets game, you get a little bit healthier

309
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: on offense, you have a lot more options and you

310
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: would wonder like, Okay, Brian dave Ball is known for

311
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: mixing things up from time to time with his off

312
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: You have these different players with different skill sets this year,

313
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: why not do something like twenty personnel when you're tight.

314
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: We don't know what the tight end situation is going

315
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: to be this week either. We hope, we hope that

316
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: those guys come off the COVID list, but we're not sure.

317
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: So you may have to pull some tricks out of

318
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: your sleeve to beat a defense that's really talented in

319
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: the secondary. J C. Jackson has three interceptions, Devin Cordy

320
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: has two, Gilmour has one, Jonathan Jones has one, So

321
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: you may have to be a little bit different. We're

322
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: heading into week eight. This offense doesn't have to worry

323
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: about being vanilla or not rolling a lot of things

324
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: out as you do when you're in the first couple

325
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: of weeks. This is the time where you kind of

326
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: can open those things in the book that you haven't

327
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: and call this and call that, because you've now had

328
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: eight weeks together on the practice field. Eight oh three

329
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: fifty one fifty two, five fifty. We go to the

330
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: phones and leading us off is Jeff to sell, Jeff,

331
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to One Bills Live. Hey,

332
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: I need your help history relationship man. Oh yeah, So

333
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: football crisis hotline coming early this week. What's your emergency? Well,

334
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: I got away was a Patriots fan and she hides

335
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: my Buffalo Bulls blanket. When this week happens, Oh my gosh,

336
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do about it. So this,

337
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: this is the class. This is the classic house divided situation.

338
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: We see this a lot of times in college football.

339
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: We also see it in the NFL, particularly in the

340
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: AFC East. And yes, we've is she from Is she

341
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: from the New England area? Is she a New England native?

342
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Is this the issue here? Or bitch? I moved from

343
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Low to Bangor and I'm married a native. Yeah,

344
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: that's That's a tough road to hoe, especially when you're

345
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: in enemy territory. So here's the situation. Um, let me

346
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: add one thing. Yeah, most hcans now are Tampa basing

347
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: and believe it or not. Oh good lord, oh good lord.

348
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: Um So Jeff, here what I've got for you. Okay,

349
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: this is a tricky situation. Obviously she feels comfortable taking

350
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: these measures because you know, she's in her native land,

351
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: so to speak, and you know, you're kind of in

352
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: an enemy territory here. I think there has to be

353
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: a designated area of the home that is considered neutral ground, okay,

354
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: where any and all alliances are openly accepted. Now, if

355
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: she cannot, you know, agree to this compromise, well then

356
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: some some other paraphernalia that belongs to the Patriots is

357
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: going to have to magically disappear as well this week.

358
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: You know, eye for an eye as I see it,

359
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: We're not talking about anything dramatic or serious where anybody's

360
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: going to get hurt, maybe except for their feelings. So

361
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, if she can acquiesce and say, all right,

362
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, in this room over here that can be

363
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Bill's land, okay, but over here Patriots country, and and

364
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: leave it at that. Now, I don't know, obviously I

365
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: don't know your wife. You know her better than I do.

366
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: But do you think this is a compromise that you

367
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: can at least reach? I mean, you have you have

368
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: just as much right in this marriage as she does

369
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: to exercise your fanship, that's right. Well, the good thing

370
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: is she has a white car and buffalo Bill's stickers

371
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: really look good on it if she if she does this,

372
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: Oh so you already have a plan. I do. I

373
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that sounds okay. What do

374
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: you think about that, Maddie, give me, give me the

375
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: female perspective on this. Putting he's thinking about putting, what

376
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: does it magnet's bill's magnets on her car? I think,

377
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: go for it. I think go for it. So in college,

378
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: me and my roommates one week we had a prank week.

379
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: And it wasn't there wasn't a game online or anything

380
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: like that, but we just pranked each other back and

381
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: forth all week. It got a little bit intense. So

382
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: you know what, I say, go ahead with the sticker

383
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: or the magnets. See what she comes back with. This

384
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: could be a fun duel throughout the week. Yes, And

385
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: and you know if it starts to get a little

386
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: out of hand, that's when you pump the brakes and

387
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: you come together and you say, all right, look the truth,

388
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: we've had our fun. We may have gone over the line,

389
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: but we've had our fun, and let's just respect each

390
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: other's fanship here. Because there is no reason that just

391
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: because you're in foreign territory that you cannot exercise your fanship.

392
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: It is a it is a NFL given right. As

393
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, I wasn't gonna go God given

394
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: that might be a little too heavy. It is a

395
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: fan given right, as an NFL fan for you to

396
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: root for your Bills and express that fanship in any

397
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: way that you see fit in the privacy of your

398
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: own home and outside your home. So yeah, I mean

399
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: I would not back down on this one. You're not

400
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: asking for a lot. I think there should be designated

401
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: space in your home where you can where Bill's paraphernalia

402
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: can be out and shown proudly. And if she's gonna

403
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: get a little rang about it, then yes, I think

404
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: you turned to drastic measures, like you know, throwing Bill's

405
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: magnets all over a car in the middle of the night.

406
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm totally for that. Thanks for the call, Jeff, We

407
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Football Cross hot Line is always open. As

408
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: you know. We move along, We go to Clarence in Buffalo. Clarence,

409
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: thanks for calling us. What do you have here for us?

410
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: On one Bill's Life? Good afternoon, How are you today?

411
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: Good good? I think it's very important that the Bills

412
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: win this game Sunday because not for one reason, but

413
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: for two as far as I'm concerned. The first one

414
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: is like you say, you have a hold on the division.

415
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: And secondly, because it'll helped teams and entire teams psych

416
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: thing about winning the goods of Patriots. We haven't done

417
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: it in years, so this would be advantage for them

418
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: to go ahead and move on with the season because

419
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: It'll be very honest with you, I feel a lot

420
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: of teams that we're going to face up in the

421
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: near future are more physical than we are. But I

422
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: think we can be can win, but I think this

423
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: is going to be very difficult to win. But it'll

424
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: put a hold on me. Oh division division. Yeah, Well,

425
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: like I say, Bill, just psyche to go on further. Yeah,

426
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: I think that's a respectable point. Um. The psychological advantage

427
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: of finally slaying the dragon, so to speak, Maddy, there's

428
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: there's a there's something that that does for your psyche, Like, Okay,

429
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: you know what, we're in the driver's seat here in

430
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: the division and we finally slayed the dragon. You know,

431
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: the team that in the McDermott regime they have not

432
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: been able to beat that that's there should be lasting

433
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: effects from this win, right, I would say there's a

434
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: majority of this team who is yet to beat the Patriots.

435
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: As a Buffalo Bill. You think back to Sean McDermott

436
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: and Brandon Bean coming to Buffalo and how many new

437
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: faces were added onto the team in the last four

438
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: years under them, and there's not many that remain that

439
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: we're a part of that twenty sixteen win. I think

440
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: this would do a lot for the team. I think

441
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: the confidence builder, the momentum that they got from that

442
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: second half defensive play against the Jets hopefully will carry

443
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: into this week. Hopefully a win against the Patriots, a

444
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: strong win, a this is a good win win will

445
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: do the same in the weeks ahead because they have

446
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: some tough competition down the line, and I think a

447
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: strong win against the Patriots could help this team for

448
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: weeks to come. Yeah, I think they would. I think

449
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: fans would take any win over the Patriots, good, bad, ugly.

450
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: I don't think they care as long as it's a

451
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: win at the end of the day. Obviously, a convincing

452
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: win would go a long way to the Bills putting

453
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: their stamp on Hey we're the big dog in the division.

454
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: Now you go scurry along now I'm not convinced that's

455
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: going to happen on Sunday because Bill Belichick somehow, some

456
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: way finds a way and he keeps gating. He usually

457
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: is good about keeping games close. Even in games that

458
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: they don't end up on top. It's always a tooth

459
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: and nail fight. Although last week obviously was an exception

460
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: for the most week was the lowest points they've scored

461
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: all season, and so you know, you look at that

462
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: and you say, well, are things different now? Well, it

463
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: is the defending NFC champion. You know, Let's not forget

464
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: that the Bills lost by twenty six points to a

465
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: team that was in the AFC title Game last year,

466
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: and the Titans just three weeks ago. So they were

467
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: playing some pretty good competition. Albeit the forty nine has

468
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: I've had to deal with some major injuries as well,

469
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: But just from a point scoring perspective, the last three

470
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: weeks for the Patriots, ten points against Kansas City tough game,

471
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: and they didn't have Cam Newton, twelve points against Denver,

472
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: practiced twice in two weeks and looked all out of

473
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: sorts against a decent defensive team in Denver, and then

474
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: this past week against San Francisco six points, so their

475
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: point totals are way down. They've scored more than thirty

476
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: just twice this season against the Raiders and Seattle, who

477
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: are two defenses that are not strong, and then they

478
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: scored twenty one points in the opener in the win

479
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: over Miami. So they are not the consistent point producer

480
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: on offense that they used to be with Brady, obviously,

481
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: and that is a difference. And yes, the last time

482
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: the Bills beat the Patriots, it's an asterisk game. Let's

483
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: not kid ourselves. It was a sixteen nothing shut out.

484
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: But that's because Jacoby Brissette was starting at quarterback for

485
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: them as a rookie because Tom Brady was still on

486
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: to Flate gate suspension, and I think their backup got hurt.

487
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: Garoppolo got hurt. I think the week before the Bills

488
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: had to play them. So as Jacoby Brissette, it was

489
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: either his first or second career start that he was

490
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: making against the Bills, and it was just a little

491
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: bit too much to ask in a spot like that.

492
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: So they won sixteen nothing and you know, got a shutout.

493
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't foresee anything like that, despite the fact that

494
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense is clearly struggling. I think the most

495
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: surprising thing for me, Maddie is the Patriots defense and

496
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: how they have been giving up points. Because the Patriots

497
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: over the years, even when they don't have their best personnel,

498
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: Belichick and his defensive staff seem to find a way.

499
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: While they may give up yards, they don't give up points.

500
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: They lock it down in the red zone, they force

501
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: field goals, and at the end of the game, you're saying,

502
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: how the heck do we lose twenty to sixteen to

503
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: this team? And that's usually what happens, especially when he

504
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: doesn't have the team firing on all cylinders, or he

505
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have the matchup advantages because his roster's a little thin.

506
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: So I'm really interested to see where it goes. Eight

507
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

508
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Let us know what you feel is

509
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: the level of importance of this Sunday's game against the

510
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: Patriots when it comes to a division race. The choices

511
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: are there for you at one Bills live on the

512
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, so feel free to chime in, let us

513
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: know or give us a call. Eight three five fifty

514
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: let us know how you feel about the critical nature

515
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: of Sunday's game when it comes to the AFC Division race.

516
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: We've got to take a break. But when we return

517
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: your phone calls and we'll take a look at the

518
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet and see what you think on this subject.

519
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: Because I don't know about you, Maddie, but you look

520
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: at that schedule coming up after this game this week,

521
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna get tough. It gets significantly more difficult. Five

522
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: straight games that are going to be challenging with teams

523
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: that can all score points and run it up on

524
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: you in a hurry. If you're not careful, we will

525
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: take a break. Be back in a moment. Here on

526
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by collat to Health. This is

527
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio, Chris Brown, Maddie glab with you our

528
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: number one of a Tuesday edition of One Bills Live,

529
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: and we are taking your phone calls at eight oh

530
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: three fifty as we are asking you about the critical

531
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: nature of Sunday's game as it pertains to the division race.

532
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: And you know some of you have, you know, expressed

533
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: that yes, you gotta win this thing. Keep your distance

534
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: from the rest of the division. We had a Clarence

535
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: call and he thought it would be an important game

536
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: for the psyche of the players on this team. You

537
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: finally slayed the dragon if you can win this week,

538
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: finally beat the Patriots fair and square on the up

539
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: and up. You know, with no Ah, this is a

540
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: game where we're resting all our starters. We don't have

541
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: Brady because it deflayed gate suspension or whatever. So let's

542
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,239
Speaker 1: just play it out. And I mean just get in,

543
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: get out, get the win, and move on. Go four

544
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: and O in the division. But we want your thoughts

545
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: at eight oh three, five fifty one, eight eight five

546
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty we lead off this segment with

547
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: Jim and Jamestown. Jim, what do you have for us?

548
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Yeah, I can all right now

549
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: that the Bills will will win the AF East. You

550
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: do what gives you that confidence? Because I'm the only

551
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: they're playing not only offensively but defensively, especially if they

552
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: beat in New England this Sunday. I think dear goes

553
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: run the table the whole AFC East. Okay um. And

554
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: another thing is when the Bills play the Steelers, you

555
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: think that might be a tough game for each of them,

556
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: because you know, that will be like a playoff game

557
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: for each of them. Well, yeah, that's a little further

558
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: down the road. But right now, the Steelers look like

559
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: the best team in the AFC, in my opinion, the

560
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: only undefeated team left in the NFL. Yeah, so I'm

561
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna pump the brakes on the Steelers game. I didn't

562
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: want to think about that right now. I'm just I

563
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: am more and we thank you for the call, Jim.

564
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm just more concerned about this Patriots game this week

565
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 1: and the reason and great that Jim's as confident as

566
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: he is. I mean, he thinks the Bills are gonna

567
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: run the table and go six and o in the division.

568
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: And I would pay money to see that, really I would.

569
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: But there's this feeling deep in my gun. And maybe

570
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: it's because I, like many Bills fans, have been scarred

571
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: over the years. There have been a number of times

572
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: where the Bills have come into this game this week

573
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: against this team riding high. I mean, we can go

574
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: all the way back to like the early two thousands.

575
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, Bills are five and three and then I

576
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: got this big match up with the Patriots and you know,

577
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, they win this game. It's three in

578
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: a row, and they're often running and they can, you know,

579
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: get to the top of the division race. And then

580
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots come in here and they just whack them

581
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: in the head and say, you know, treat them like

582
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: a little brother, like, hey, get out of here, all right,

583
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't need you hanging around with me and my friends,

584
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, stop tagging along. And then the Bills have

585
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: to go over there and sit in the corner and

586
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: they can't catch up to the Patriots. At the end

587
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: of the season, the Patriots go on to a big

588
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: playoff run, maybe a super Bowl. And that has happened

589
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: far too often, and far too often. I think Bills

590
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: fans have been guilty of kicking dirt on the Patriots

591
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: too early, thinking they're dead and buried because they have

592
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: two bad games. We've seen some of these games over

593
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: the course of the last two or three years where

594
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, they went down to Houston, they got smacked

595
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: by the Texans one year. Ah, the Patriots are done.

596
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: Brady's old, he can't play. You know this, that and

597
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: the other. And I know the big difference this time

598
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: is there is no Brady and that is a difference.

599
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it. Is it enough to convince

600
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: me that the Patriots are not going to give the

601
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: Bills a tough game this Sunday. No, I think a

602
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: tough game is in store. But come on, Brownie, this

603
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: is a different year. This is a different Bills team,

604
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: This is a different Patriots team. I need some optimism

605
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: in right, and I want to be optimistic. I do.

606
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: And if if we were coming off of the first

607
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: three weeks where the offense was hanging thirty burghers on everybody,

608
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: I would feel a whole lot better. But because you know,

609
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: the offense is kind of I don't want to say that.

610
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to say they stumbled, but there was

611
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: a hiccup there. I mean, let's be honest, there was

612
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: a hiccup in Week five against the Titans, which I

613
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: think was somewhat compromised by the on again, off again

614
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: nature of the actual game and really not knowing who

615
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: the heck they were gonna play for about forty eight hours.

616
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: Are we gonna is the Titans game? On? Are we

617
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: playing them? Is a Monday or Tuesday? It might not

618
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: be played, Okay? So are we should we get ready

619
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs? Like I think all of that just

620
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: messed with everybody's head that week. So they go to

621
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,239
Speaker 1: play a Titans team and they're just like, what, Like,

622
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: I just felt like their head was in a fog

623
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: that whole game and they didn't get to play their

624
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: best football. So they come back the next week, they

625
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: play a better game against the Chiefs offensively, not to

626
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: any great degree, and then the defense just collapsed, and

627
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: so you say, oh, geez, what's going on here? They

628
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: play a Jets team. I thought the offense got themselves

629
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: right in a lot of ways in that game, and

630
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: their yardage looks great, even though their point total does not,

631
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: and their red zone problems cropped up, but their defense

632
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: was lights out. Now, we just heard our scholar Jim

633
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: in Jamestown. He's like, defense is good. We're rolling, We're

634
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: running the table in division. I'm like, yeah, I don't

635
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: know if I'm ready to buy that after one game,

636
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that's why I'm a

637
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: little cautious. I think I think this offense is going

638
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: to take another step forward this week because Josh is

639
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: experiencing being played differently by defenses for the first time

640
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: in his career. I think you see the success that

641
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: he had with his arm in weeks one through four,

642
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: and defenses weren't necessarily expecting that because he has not

643
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: shown that yet as an NFL quarterback. He showed that

644
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: in weeks one through four. They start playing him differently

645
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: based on his strengths that he is now shown in

646
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: his third season. You have to react and then learn

647
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: how to play as a quarterback with the defenses dropping

648
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: guys in and giving you room in underneath routes, which

649
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: in his first two years as a quarterback, he was

650
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: known as slinging the ball more times than not, but

651
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: not necessarily connecting on those balls. He's finally starts to

652
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: connect and now he has to rely on other things

653
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: that he hasn't really done as a quarterback. I think

654
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: you see him learn in this game against the Jets,

655
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: and I think we see him continue to progress down

656
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: the road this season with what he's learning about how

657
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: defenses can play him and with the guys that he

658
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: has on offense to rely on. Hopefully this defense has

659
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: it figured out for this game. Let's go back to

660
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: the phones. We go to Josh in New York. Josh,

661
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Sir? Welcome to the show. Hey, guys,

662
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. I love the show. I

663
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: think this one would be very important to the bills

664
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: for reasons that were said before, just the psychological effect

665
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: and just getting that that monkey off their backs, if

666
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: you will. And I kind of have an interesting take

667
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: on the offense and how they can kind of achieve that.

668
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was great to see Josh Josh complete

669
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: a lot of his passes on Sunday gutts the Jet.

670
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: I think they really really missed against the Titans and

671
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And now John Brown is as clearly an

672
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: important piece of that offense. He is that that deep threat.

673
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: But I think be the case that John is not

674
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 1: able to play, I think they need to utilize Isaiah

675
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: McKenzie or Andre Roberts as they are both kind of

676
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: more speed, more of the speed guys, as as Brown is,

677
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: and use either of them or both of them as

678
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: as their deep starts on Sunday. And I just kind

679
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: of want to want your guys to take on it.

680
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to hang up then listen to you guys

681
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: talk about it. Yeah, I mean, I'm thanks for the call.

682
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not opposed to that. I mean, I

683
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: I think Andre Roberts is actually probably one of the

684
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: best blocking receivers on this team. So not only does

685
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: he help you from a speed or a route running perspective,

686
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: I think he also helps you in the run game.

687
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: As far as blocking goes downfield, I wouldn't mind seeing

688
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: more Roberts. I think he can play. So if you

689
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: want to use him a little bit more than Gabe

690
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: Davis because you want to put more of a speed

691
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: product on the field, I'm in favor of that. Mackenzie

692
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: uses his speed a little bit differently, as you know,

693
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: Coach Table usually deploys him to stretch the defense horizontally,

694
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: which is fine, and I think it has a purpose

695
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: within the scope of this offense. I think when he

696
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: comes on the field, though, that people know what he is. Yeah,

697
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: so it's I don't want to say it's predictable, but

698
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,479
Speaker 1: when he comes on the field, they know why he's there.

699
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: It's to cause confusion and get people's eyes in the

700
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: wrong places. And then when they're not expecting him to

701
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: get the ball, he invariably gets the ball and usually

702
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: makes a play. But as we saw last week, the

703
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: Jets did sniff out one of those plays for an

704
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: eleven yard loss took him to take him out of

705
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: field goal range. I think it forced them to punt,

706
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: if memory, sir, because they were behind the sticks after that.

707
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I'm willing to try stuff that

708
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots haven't seen a whole lot of. And nobody's

709
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: seen a whole lot of Andre Roberts on the offensive

710
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: side of the ball. He's got snaps here and there

711
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: through the course of the first seven games, but nothing

712
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: dramatic where you say, oh, we gotta keep an eye

713
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: on this guy. So if you want to utilize him

714
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more, I think he's more than capable.

715
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: You have several players on this team that you can

716
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: use in different ways, use their strengths in different ways.

717
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: Why not get into the playbook, turn a couple more

718
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: pages and figure out how you can use these guys

719
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: to throw off a talented secondary in the Patriots defense,

720
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: who Chris, like you've said, is going to dream up

721
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: a game plan against the Bills to slow them down

722
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 1: in some type of way, because that's just what Bill

723
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: Belichick's defenses do. So you may have to get a

724
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: little bit creative with that. And I think Isaiah McKenzie

725
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: and Andre Roberts are two answers there to how you

726
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: could dial them up differently. Yeah, and I'm I'm hoping

727
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: they don't have to turn to that as as their solution.

728
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm hoping John Brown is healthy, and if he is,

729
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: I think what happens is the Patriots takeaway Stefan Dix, right.

730
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is leading the AFC in receiving yards.

731
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: He's third in the league in receiving yards. I think

732
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: he's third or fourth in receptions. I mean he's been

733
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: the go to guy for them to a certain extent,

734
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: the big play guy before a lot of these defenses

735
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: started clamping down on big plays in the Bills passing game.

736
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: So I think they bracket coverage him and just try

737
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: to shut him down and take him away and say,

738
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: all right, let's see if you can beat us with

739
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: other people. I think they'll let you throw to Cole

740
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: Beasley fifteen times if you want to. Yeah, take all

741
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: your five and ten yard games you want, but when

742
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: you get in the red zone, we're gonna shut you

743
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: down there and force you to kick field goals and

744
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: hopefully that's enough and our offense can come through to

745
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: get enough points on the board. And the Patriots defense

746
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: has been opportunistic. They have twelve takeaways in six games.

747
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they're averaging two a game. So they're going

748
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: to challenge you to go use your other weapons besides

749
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: your number one weapon. And then secondarily, they're going to

750
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: try to force you into mistakes where you give the

751
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 1: ball up and give their offense extra possessions, and they're

752
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: hoping that's going to be enough to win this football game.

753
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: I can't say how it's gonna look because I do

754
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, I don't drop game plans. I don't how

755
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: to do that, but that's usually the m for Bill Belichick.

756
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: Let's try to squeeze one more call in here before

757
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. We go to Tony

758
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: in Rochester. Tony, thanks for joining us here. You're on

759
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. Yeah, I'm kind of gonna reiterate what

760
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: you're just saying about their defense. I think I'm hoping

761
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: that McDermott and day Ball are not underestimating the New

762
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: England defense because we know it's better than the Jet defense,

763
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: and they gave us fits in the red zone. So

764
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that they're going to be able to figure

765
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: something out and balance it out, especially with the running game.

766
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: We need to get that running game pounding. And when

767
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: Moss was running last week, it was it was impressive.

768
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: And if they can do that against New England and

769
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: then mix in Beasley and Brown and Digs, my god,

770
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: they should be able to pile up the points. But

771
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: they have to balance it out. They can't just you know,

772
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: sit back and have Josh throwing it left and right,

773
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna they're gonna They're gonna put

774
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: eight guys back there and they're gonna clog it up,

775
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: and so he's only gonna get the little short stuff

776
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: if he gets it. So he has to be able

777
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: to make those reads, which he was in trouble with

778
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: last week. And it still baffles me that the Jeffs

779
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: were able to do that against him. I mean, I'm

780
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 1: glad we won, but I want this game very badly.

781
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: You know, when we beat him into nothing, I had

782
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: my son had friends over and they say, why are

783
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: you bothering to watch that game? You know Brady's not

784
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: even then they said, I don't care. I want them

785
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: to beat this team. And that's where I feel this week.

786
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't care how beat up they are. We have

787
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: to beat them and slay the dragon. As he said,

788
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: just get him off our back and take air of business.

789
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: And I don't care if we have to win by

790
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: with six field goals. Again, just beat this team and

791
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: move on. Yeah, all right, Tony, strong call there. I'm

792
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 1: ready to put a helmet upright, all fired up. I'm

793
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: woken up on a Tuesday. That was great. Yeah. I

794
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: agree with all of that, Tony. I don't have a

795
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: problem with any of that. Win. Just win, Just win

796
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: the dang game. And as as more than one of

797
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: our callers has already said already, just get this monkey

798
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: off our back and move forward. I respect his concerns

799
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: with what this Patriots defense is capable of because we

800
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 1: know that they've done it before. And as I just mentioned,

801
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: they're averaging two takeaways a game. Gotta be real responsible

802
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: with the football. But I do want to talk with you,

803
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: Manny when we come back, about his comment about the

804
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: Bills running game and its potential importance in this Sunday's matchup.

805
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to that when we return here on One

806
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo

807
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Maddy glab here with you our

808
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: number one one Bills Live Tuesday edition, and we are

809
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: talking about this division race and the importance of Sunday's

810
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: game with the Patriots and its impact on the division race,

811
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: and how critical you think that game is, whether you

812
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: I think if you, if you win, If the Bills

813
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: win that game, they're in the driver's seat obviously at

814
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: four and ow in the division, and with a two

815
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: game lead on everybody, with eight games to play and

816
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: only two division games in pocket for them against the

817
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Patriots a second time each. But I wanted

818
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: to talk to you, Mattie about the point that our

819
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: last caller, Tony and Rochester made, which was about the

820
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: running game. He was encouraged by some of the runs

821
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: that Zach Moss popped in the Jets game. There weren't many,

822
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: but there were a few, So I guess we would

823
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: call those flashes from Zach Moss, who looks to be

824
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: getting more confident in his reads in the run game

825
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: and has been running a little bit angrier in this

826
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: last game, I felt, so I do believe that that

827
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: will be an important component to a Bill's victory on Sunday.

828
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: The Patriots have not been great at stopping the run.

829
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: They're twenty seventh in the league against the run, and

830
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: I think, as Tony pointed out, the game plan early

831
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: on is going to be dropping seven and eight into

832
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: coverage by the Patriots defense. They're going to challenge you,

833
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: prove to us you can run the football. So the

834
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: Bills are going to have to win in the running

835
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: game against the seven man box and prove that they

836
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: can do that to try to pull the Patriots out

837
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: of some of that, get them to play a little

838
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: bit more man coverage, and then win against man, which

839
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: we've seen the Bills do routinely in the passing game. Now,

840
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: I will say again is a really good secondary that

841
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: can play man. So it is a little bit of

842
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: pick your poison. But I think they have to run

843
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: the football this week, don't you. I think it's time.

844
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: I think we've all been waiting to see this run

845
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: game be unveiled. And I know last year was a

846
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 1: different story and Devin Singletary posted some awesome stats as

847
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: a rookie, but that's also because we didn't have the

848
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: receivers that we had last year. This year we have

849
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: those receivers, so they've been able to air it out

850
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: and have success doing that. Now you need the run

851
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: game to balance everything out for this team heading into

852
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: the midway part of the season, when defenses have you

853
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: figured out the Patriots have allowed a one hundred yard

854
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: rusher in the last two games. They allowed one twelve

855
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: to Jeff Wilson Junior, who was a backup running back

856
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: that was in for Raheemostart, and then they allowed one

857
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards to Philip Lindsay. They didn't allow one

858
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: hundred to Clyde Edwards Hilaire, which I was a little

859
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: bit shocked to see just going through stats here right now.

860
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, Zach Moss, it it's your turn to step up.

861
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: I think what we saw from Zack Moss this past

862
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: week was definitely encouraging. Seven attempts for forty seven yards,

863
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: over five yards per carry, over six yards per carry

864
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: in the game last week, and he did look angrier.

865
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: That's one thing that we were so pumped about when

866
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: he got drafted was the fact that this is an

867
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 1: angry running back. This is someone who can get those

868
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: yards after contact, get those angry yards, push defenders, get

869
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: into the ren zoe, get those tough short yardage plays

870
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: that you look to running back to do. You have

871
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, who's an elusive guy who can break tackles

872
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: as well. But I think in highlight tapes that we

873
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: saw from Zack Moss out of Utah, Dang, this guy

874
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: is tough. This guy can get the tough yards. This

875
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: guy can break tackles. He broke six records at Utah.

876
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a great running back. I think

877
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought he was slept on in

878
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 1: the draft, and you draft him and he hasn't shown

879
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: as much as maybe we thought he would have coming

880
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: out being a rookie running back. But he also hasn't

881
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: been the healthiest, so I think this is his time

882
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: to shine. We are in week eight, Let's see what

883
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: Zach Moss can do. And we do have a Zach

884
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: Moss question from our next scholar, Tom in forty or

885
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: he Tom, what do you have for us? Welcome to

886
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: the show. Hey guys, Maddie first and foremost, I have

887
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: a confession. I owe you an apology. When you first

888
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: came here last year, I wasn't sure about you. I thought,

889
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: who is this Chicago bear person? And you have really

890
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: grown on me. And I look forward to your weekly

891
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: awards that you give out each week. It's you're doing

892
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: agree well, a fan of the Maddies. Look at that.

893
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate it. What do you have for us?

894
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: Tom So? Zach Moss? I love his downhill running ability.

895
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: I'm just curious right now are we slow playing him

896
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: the way we did with Singletary when he was a rookie.

897
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: I know he's been injured this year, and you know,

898
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: I know Singletary at Frank Gore to lean on his

899
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: rookie year, But Zach Moss, is there a reason that

900
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: we're really babying him here? Well? I mean I think

901
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: it is primarily injury related, Tom, and I think what

902
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: you're it's a toe injury, and you say, oh, well,

903
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: what's so bad about it? A turf toe is pretty painful,

904
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: especially when it's the big toe, and that's usually the

905
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: one that it is. You can't drive off that toe,

906
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: you can't cut, you can't do anything. And I mean

907
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: he missed the better part of three games because of it.

908
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: And I think the game against the Chiefs was kind

909
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 1: of a get back into the flow, knock the rustoff

910
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: kind of game. And then I think we saw more

911
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: of what they're hoping Zach Moss can be for this offense,

912
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: which is getting as Maddie said, the yards after contact.

913
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: And I think he's underrated as a pass catcher. Two.

914
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: We haven't seen that element of his game just yet.

915
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: But I think that this has to be a two

916
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: headed monster kind of thing, and they're going to have

917
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: to prove that they can win games running the football

918
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: because we're going to see more of the umbrella type

919
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: coverage from opponents until they prove otherwise. Yeah, Zach Moss

920
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: has got to be your answer at some point. So

921
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 1: does Devin's singletary. Zach Moss did have some nice receiving

922
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: yards at Utah too. I remember looking at his stats

923
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: and was quite amazed at those receiving stats that he

924
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: posted in his time with Utah. But this guy totaled

925
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: thirty eight touchdowns, I want to say, in his time

926
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: at Utah. I'm waiting to see that. And we talk

927
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 1: about rookie receivers as having such a tough transition into

928
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: the NFL, learning the route tree, trying to become a

929
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: different type of receiver. You're usually asked to play at

930
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: more positions in the NFL. Versus college, your playbook is

931
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to follow in college versus the NFL.

932
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: For running backs, we don't talk about that as much.

933
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: And I still think there is a time to transition

934
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 1: into the NFL. It's going to take a few games,

935
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: and I don't think Devin's I don't think Zach Moss

936
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: has gotten those few games because of that toe injury.

937
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: I think now we are finally seeing the Zach Moss

938
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: that Brandon Bean liked on the tape, and hopefully we

939
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: see a lot more of going forward. All right, break

940
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: time for us. But when we come back, it is

941
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 1: the one, the only Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football.

942
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of things to discuss with him,

943
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: including this Patriots game, and among other things is angry

944
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: run scepter, which met an unfortunate demise recently. We'll talk

945
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: to him about that and more when we return here

946
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This

947
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio, Healo Bills Radio Network Sports Date.

948
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: You're a sports update from One Bill's Drive. Bill's day

949
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 1: off today. They'll get back on the practice field Wednesday

950
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: as they gear up for Sunday's big divisional game with

951
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots. We'll wait for word on guard John Feliciano,

952
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: as a decision will need to be made on whether

953
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: or not to activate him off of injured reserve by tomorrow,

954
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: along with injury updates on John Brown, Cody Ford, and

955
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: Josh Norman, among others. NFL trade deadline just a week away,

956
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 1: and there's reports that the Jets continue to be sellers

957
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: in each matut of The Daily News reporting Tuesday that

958
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: the Jets are looking to move defensive tackle Quinnon Williams,

959
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: their third overall pick from the twenty nineteen draft. There are, however,

960
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: other reports disputing the availability of the former first round pick.

961
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys have plenty of pass rushers they're willing to part

962
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: ways with one of them. Reports say that the Cowboys

963
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: are making it known that defensive end Everson Griffin is

964
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: available via trade. He's got a three million dollars salary

965
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: and three million in per game roster bonuses, so with

966
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 1: seven of ten weeks completed, he'd be available for just

967
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: under two million in salary. He was a cornerstone for

968
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: several years in Minnesota, but he has just two and

969
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,720
Speaker 1: a half sacks in seven games with the Cowboys this season,

970
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown will be getting his latest second chance in

971
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: Tampa What is this sixth chance? I think it's six now.

972
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: The Bucks officially have signed him to a one year deal.

973
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: Will be eligible to practice and play after Tampa Bay's

974
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: Week A game at the Giants, which means he'll make

975
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: his debut Sunday, November eighth against the Saints on Sunday

976
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 1: Night Football. Finally, Game six of the World Series tonight,

977
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: the Dodgers looking to wrap things up with a win

978
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: as they lead the series with the Rays three games

979
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: to two. First pitch, eight p m. Tonight, and that

980
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: is your sports update here from One Bill's Drive Time

981
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: for hour number two of One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

982
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: Maddy glab and a weekly appearance from Good Morning Football's

983
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt, who has clearly got the energy and the

984
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: testosterone flowing through his veins. This week, Angry Run. Angry

985
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,359
Speaker 1: Runs went to a new level as the scepter met

986
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: an unfortunate demise this week with what did not appear

987
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: to be anything extreme. I don't know if we have

988
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: to contact the manufacturers or what here, but that thing

989
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: just seared off in half with just I gotta believe

990
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: that was only a five out of ten in terms

991
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: of force. With your gesturing there with the scepter, I

992
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: tell me if I'm wrong, Kyle. You guys always bring

993
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: up these angry runs segments, and forget that I black

994
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: out during the segments. I don't know what I say,

995
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. And now that I'm seeing the video,

996
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: look at this. I have the evidence, the shards of

997
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: the angry scepter right here. You remember in the natural

998
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: when Roy Hobbs bat breaks right before the biggest bat

999
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: of the season, wonder Boy or whatever it's called. It

1000
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: feels like that right now. And you know what's funny

1001
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: about I've had this scepter through Josh Allen having heroic

1002
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: angry runs, through all kinds of superstars, George Kittle, Ezekiel Elliott.

1003
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: I think it broke while I was talking about undrafted

1004
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: rookie James Robinson of the Jaguars, who are one of

1005
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the league. It doesn't matter, it

1006
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: does not discriminate. This thing broke. It was forged in

1007
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: the fires of Mount Doom, on the mountain sal Run.

1008
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: Sal Runs a mordor is his hood. So I'm gonna

1009
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: have to get and see me hard another one. Yeah,

1010
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: it just broke because I'm guessing you don't have a

1011
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: bad boy to come out with another a scepter. Boy, No,

1012
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't set boy, and my six year old would

1013
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: love to do it, but he's learning how to say

1014
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: what's five plus two is he's homeschooling upstairs. So it's

1015
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: just me. We're gonna have to get a new scepter

1016
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: by next week, where hopefully one of the Buffalo Bills

1017
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: will win it. I was gonna say, you said you

1018
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: black out during the segments, so I think what you

1019
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: were doing and why you broke it was because you

1020
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: were like, Josh Helen, you need another angry run. Then

1021
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 1: it broke. I would love to and you know what, Maddie,

1022
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: more so than that, how about somebody else on the

1023
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills offense wins this. We've seen Dawson Knox, who

1024
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: we know has been banged up. You won it last year,

1025
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen won us a few weeks ago. Can we

1026
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: get one of these Bills running backs to win one

1027
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: of them, or a wide receiver, a tight end, anybody.

1028
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: I would love to see some new faces and new

1029
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: talent emerge both on the field for the Bills this weekend,

1030
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: and in the world of angry runs, I would love

1031
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: to give this the motor single terror Moss than any

1032
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, I mean get it, It's Patriots week.

1033
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: What are we going to do about it? Right? So, Zach,

1034
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: It's funny you bring up Zach Moss because I think

1035
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 1: it's a player that maybe flashed a little bit last

1036
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: week in a way that we had not seen yet.

1037
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: And obviously he had the turf toe injury and that

1038
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: it's slowed him down for about three games he didn't play,

1039
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: but I think they saw him pop some runs last week.

1040
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: That gives Bills fans anyway, from the callers that we've

1041
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: had on the show, hope that he can do more

1042
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 1: of that going forward, because I think the general consensus

1043
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: this weekend, Kyle is that the Patriots are going to

1044
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: drop seven into coverage, force Josh to matriculate the ball

1045
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: down the field, and if they can't run the football,

1046
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: and pull some safeties out of the secondary to convince

1047
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: them that hey, we better get another guy in the

1048
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: box here if we're gonna stop this run game, that

1049
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be another Belichick defensive masterpiece. And the

1050
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna have it tough to try to post

1051
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: a win. Finally, I think it's beautifully put with all

1052
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: the intricacies of the running game, Chris, and it might

1053
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: be even more simple than that. You gotta win this game.

1054
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: This is Patriots week. Patriots are a wounded animal like

1055
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 1: they have not been in two decades. The Bills obviously

1056
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: on a tough little stretch here with a couple of losses,

1057
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,479
Speaker 1: and then the Jets by week at the SPA. If

1058
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: you are not going to beat the Patriots now, when

1059
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna beat them? When now or forever holds

1060
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: your piece. I actually feel there's a huge stakes in

1061
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: this game for Buffalo, because God forbid that team that

1062
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: just got bludgeoned by San Francisco that didn't belong on

1063
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: the same field, that team whose quarterback is in some

1064
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: sort of weird mojo less yip state right now with

1065
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: Cam Newton who can barely complete a forward pass. If

1066
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo cannot beat this Patriots team, I may have to

1067
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 1: come on next week in a hazmat suit like this.

1068
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: This is gonna be an ugly scene. All the pressures

1069
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: on Buffalo, which makes me nervous because what does Bill

1070
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: Bello's I have to lose other than Buffalo, Who's clockey

1071
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: cleans every single time. This is a huge deal for

1072
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, for Sean McDermott, for that defense. New England's

1073
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: a terrible team, guys. I say that objectively and I

1074
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: don't say it gratuitously. They're terrible right now. They have

1075
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 1: to win this game, Buffalo. It better happen. We see

1076
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: the Bills drop Week five and six against the Tens

1077
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, two tough teams to beat. They end

1078
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: up losing both, but they beat the Jets, although they

1079
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: were oh for five in the red zone, had to

1080
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: rely on Tyler Bass, the rookie, to kick those six

1081
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: field goals to win the game. Do we need to

1082
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: see a dominant offensive outing from the Bills against the

1083
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: Patriots this week? Or is just any type of win?

1084
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: Okay here, it's a great question, because I'll be honest,

1085
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't care what happened against the Jets. I know

1086
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: that if you were really gripping on tight to this team,

1087
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: and you're a die hard and you live and breathe

1088
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: Bills football, you were not feeling great about that win.

1089
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. It was barely a football game with

1090
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: the Jets. I really mean it. They almost don't qualify

1091
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,479
Speaker 1: as a real competent NFL team. All I cared about

1092
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: is just go in there. I don't care if you

1093
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: kick twenty field goals. It's such a bad team that

1094
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: just get the win and come home. They did. I'm

1095
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: not going to scrutinize for style points against New York. However,

1096
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: there's two schools of thought with New England. One is,

1097
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: all right, if we're really good, if we're a playoff

1098
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: team and we just saw San Francisco house New England

1099
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 1: and a few other teams do it, then why shouldn't

1100
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: we Why shouldn't we win this game thirty one to thirteen,

1101
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: and it's a team that is chasing its tail. I'm

1102
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: not gonna say it. Either beat Bill Belichick two to

1103
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: nothing or fifty six to fifty four. All I want

1104
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: is a win. It's Belichick, it's the Patriots. I don't

1105
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: care if Brady's there or not. It feels like it's

1106
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: been since I was in about eighth grade, since the

1107
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: Bills have beating the Patriots in a game that really

1108
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,479
Speaker 1: matters with their starting quarterback in so I'm not looking

1109
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: for style points either standings a win with the Bills

1110
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: have a big number of points than the Patriots. That

1111
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: is a huge victory because it's been time and time

1112
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: again that they haven't never mind who how many points

1113
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: they win, just win the damn game. Yeah, we're just

1114
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: hoping that, you know, the freaks don't come out at

1115
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: night in Houdini's singing on the weekend for Halloween. Here

1116
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: with what the Patriots seemed to dish out each and

1117
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: every time. I know, Kyle that you were talking recently

1118
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,919
Speaker 1: on a podcast about Rocky for the Merits of Rocky two,

1119
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: the montage argument about the training montages. I was always

1120
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: a big fan of the Rocky two montage because that

1121
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: was really the last time it was truly old school

1122
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: in the Rocky series. You know, Mix still there shouting

1123
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: at him, he's still chasing the chicken. But you guys

1124
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: were big fans of the Rocky four montage. So I

1125
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: will say that I haven't watched that movie about twelve years,

1126
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: so I re ran the montage on YouTube. It's pretty good.

1127
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: I gotta say it's pretty good. Um, you know, he's

1128
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: growing the beard. He's out in the in the old country,

1129
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: somewhere in Russia, and I think that it's some of

1130
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: the most impressive training. And he is more ripped up

1131
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: in four than he is in two. I don't I

1132
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: don't argue that at all. What is the appeal though?

1133
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: What sold it for you? Because I'm curious about that

1134
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: as we dip into the movie scene. Okay, I'm glad

1135
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: you asked, Chris. You're talking, of course, about the Real

1136
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Watchables podcast on the Rich, right, I do with Bill Simmons,

1137
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: and we did Rocky four where you go back and

1138
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: you look at the old movie and you have debates

1139
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: about it. Understand for everybody listening and for the two

1140
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: of you here. The first Rocky movie that I ever

1141
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: saw was Rocky four. It came out when I was

1142
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: six years old, so I never saw Rocky one and two.

1143
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: I've seen him now, but I saw Rocky four first.

1144
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: So all that backstory about Adrian we did it, and

1145
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: Mack and I didn't know any of that stuff. I

1146
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: just liked the tall Russian guy and his wife who

1147
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: looks like his twin sister, and they're working out in

1148
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: the steroids in the mountains. That was all I needed.

1149
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: And yet, going back to look at it and Chris,

1150
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: obviously you're an expert, Maddie, I have to ask them

1151
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,439
Speaker 1: before you go any further. Have you seen Rocky four? Yes?

1152
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: I have family is actually a big Rocky movie watcher.

1153
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how many years ago

1154
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: it was, but we got in this Rocky phase and

1155
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: watched a ton of them. So yes, they're very popular

1156
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia as we know. My question is this, and

1157
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: this is my takeaway having not watched it a long

1158
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: time myself, and I hate that and this may come

1159
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: off a sacrilege. Is Rocky Balboa literally the worst boxer

1160
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: of all time? I mean, really that bad. Let me

1161
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: tell you what I mean. The only things he brings

1162
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: to the ring he has great conditioning and an unbelievable chin,

1163
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: the greatest chin of all time. However, he has no defense,

1164
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: no escapability, no strategy, no power whatsoever. He just sits

1165
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: in there, gets his face beaten in and then wears

1166
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: him down after what he seems to have no grasp

1167
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: whatsoever boxing. The rules are all the rules are also

1168
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: the corner. Yeah no, there there's no rules, no strategy.

1169
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: There's like seventeen knockdowns. Du says, like, uh, the never

1170
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: says let's work the jab, watch out for his right.

1171
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: It's just no pain. Take his heart that that's not

1172
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: helping anybody. The only person gives them some some actual

1173
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,439
Speaker 1: advice is his drunken brother in law Polly, who says

1174
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: hit the one in the middle when he's clearly concustancies

1175
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: three of them. So I don't know how Rocky gets

1176
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: through any of the fights, because I think he might

1177
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: be the worst boxer to ever live. You just can

1178
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: take a lot of pounding. Yeah, And and I just

1179
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: love how the rules are completely out the window. There's

1180
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: like seventeen knockdowns every fight. It's like, where is the

1181
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: t k oh here? Where is the TKO? This guy

1182
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: can't even see straight, and we're gonna keep on fighting.

1183
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: It's just it's insane. So we found that conversation very interesting.

1184
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: I know, we also wanted to discuss with you because

1185
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: the DK Metcalf chased down, which incidentally, I mean, tell

1186
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong about this, but it looked like, uh,

1187
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: somebody who is gigantic was chasing down a smurf. I mean,

1188
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: did he is it me? Or did he look like

1189
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: he was two times the size of I mean he

1190
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: was big Foot chasing. I mean it was crazy. He

1191
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: just you see him running him down and it's just like,

1192
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: oh my god, he's a foot taller than him too. Yeah. Well,

1193
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: what you're referring to at the Smurf reference, Chris, of course,

1194
01:02:55,200 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: is Gargamel. He looks like the cat Asriel. Thanks for now.

1195
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: Budebecer runs four four four four in the forty. He's

1196
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: very fast and to your point, yes, Matt, he does

1197
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: kind of look like a big Foot in the forest,

1198
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: except now we have actual video evidence of it. The

1199
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: reason I found this interesting was today I went down

1200
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: a wormhole. I said, all right, this was umble. Is

1201
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: this the best chase down ever that we've ever seen

1202
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL? So I started going through some of them,

1203
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: and Benjamin Watson from from the Broncos and the Patriots

1204
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: when he chased down Champ Bailey unbelievable game. Obviously, we

1205
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: know that Don Beebe chased down Leon Lett, but I

1206
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: did not know this one. And Bill's fans remember this.

1207
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty nine. Dion Sanders is a rookie with the Falcons.

1208
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: It's Bill's Falcons. Beebe's returning a kickoff breaks through. He's

1209
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: in the clip. Oh, we have it. Yes, we're good.

1210
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: This is nineteen eighty nine, Week sixteen. Don Beebe, one

1211
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: of the fastest athletes in the world, is going to

1212
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: run through the scrum and he is gone. Now wait

1213
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: a second, though, A rookie of Florida State named Deon

1214
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Sanders runs Peebe down from behind and drags him down.

1215
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: It's it's a bookend to the Leon left play. Everybody

1216
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: knows the Leon play. I had never seen Dion chase Beebe.

1217
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Do Bills fans know this play? Is this part of

1218
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: the Lord? No, it is not. It is not at all.

1219
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: I had completely forgotten about it myself. I will say this.

1220
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: We knew that Beebes would run anywhere from four three

1221
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: to four three five. And I think we all know

1222
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: the Dion Sanders combine story where he basically ran like

1223
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: a four to two seven and then jumped in a cabin,

1224
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: went home and said, I don't have to do the

1225
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: rest of the workout. So on a stopwatch, he is

1226
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: faster than him. So I guess seeing it now, after

1227
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: not seeing it or completely remembering it in any way,

1228
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: shape or form, it doesn't surprise me. I will submit

1229
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: my But he got ultimate chase down guy. It's Darryl

1230
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Green from the Washington We can't call him what they

1231
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: used to be called back then, the Washington football team.

1232
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: He had about five or six of those in his

1233
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: career here, like just time and again, which I don't

1234
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: know what that says about the deep ball defense of

1235
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: the Washington team as a whole back in those days.

1236
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: But since this guy, this poor guy's got to chase

1237
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: people down because he's the only guy that can run

1238
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: fast enough. But somebody ran a montage actually this morning

1239
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He's got like five of them that they

1240
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: ran on a real back to back. It's impressive, and

1241
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: it's it's the quality of the opponent, like in the

1242
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: boxing game, a quality opponent that matters here if you

1243
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: see Buddha Baker is fantastic player, but he's not a

1244
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: living Hall of Famer. Daryl Green has two of them

1245
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: that I can remember the top of my head. One

1246
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: of them is against Eric Dickerson, Fall of famer who

1247
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: was broken away, and the other one was against Tony

1248
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Dorset Hall Famer who had broken away. So it's the

1249
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: big names and the marquee that gets you up there

1250
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: like that Buddha Baker is a great name in and

1251
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: of itself, and he's a great player, but it's as

1252
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: if he had run down you know, Darrell Reeves or

1253
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Dion or Champ Bailey as we've seen shown up in

1254
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: some of these clips. Darryl Green is really an all

1255
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: time rundowner, but oh my god, the DK thing. He

1256
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: looks like he's about three hundred and fifty pounds to

1257
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:07,439
Speaker 1: what he's doing. It's so terrifying, it's absolutely insane. Let's

1258
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: get back to the conversation now, the Bills against the Patriots.

1259
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Is COVID nineteen still chasing down Cam Newton? Speaking of

1260
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: Chase down plays? What's going on with Cam Newton? You

1261
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: guys had a great conversation on GMFB this morning about

1262
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: what's up with Cam Newton? Some great takes. What do

1263
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: you think it is? Why did he throw three interceptions

1264
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: under a hundred yards? Is he in his own head? What?

1265
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't know? Do you know? I'm trying to figure

1266
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: it out, and I'm trying to do it respectfully. I'm

1267
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: not a sports therapist. I'm not a psychiatrist or a doctor,

1268
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: but I know Cam Newton's game really well, and it's

1269
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: he has nothing right now? And what do I mean

1270
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: by that? If he checks out he's physically healthy, The

1271
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: doctors say he's fine. He doesn't have a shoulder problem,

1272
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a back problem. To me, he looks

1273
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 1: like he has a psychological problem, because this dude came

1274
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: back from being on the COVID nineteen list, missed a

1275
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and almost has a chuck knob block

1276
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: like Yips throwing the football. To me, having watched him

1277
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: for years, I don't recognize this athlete. I don't recognize

1278
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: this person not only in his body language on the field,

1279
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: but off the field. He had comments where he talked

1280
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: about when he found out that his teammates to find

1281
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Gilmour had tested positive, that it was Cam's nightmare, that

1282
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: he felt like he might have been responsible for that,

1283
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: and that he infected a teammate, or that he spread

1284
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: this thing amongst the team. I think he is in

1285
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: his head right now. I don't know if he is

1286
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: depressed or if he has anxiety. We all can relate

1287
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: in a certain sense that we either know people directly

1288
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: or know people who know people who have tested positive

1289
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: and go into a funk, this funk of oh my gosh,

1290
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I have it. I have the sickness. I listen. Maybe

1291
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: Cam just lost in his game, fell apart. And I'm

1292
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: trying to do this respectfully, so I don't want to

1293
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: cast anything on him, to belittle him psychological. But my

1294
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: job is to sit here and look at what I see.

1295
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: Since before, Covid looked great. Since then, afraid of his

1296
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: own shadow, completely lacks any confidence, and I don't know,

1297
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: maybe something this thing can rattle somebody's cage like that,

1298
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: and then if you think you spread it to a teammate,

1299
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: there's a guilt factor involved. I think he is greatly

1300
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: wrestling with what's going on between his ears right now.

1301
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: And just watch against the Bills next week. See if

1302
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: there's a single smile, a single headknob from Can Newton.

1303
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: We've seen him down before in playing Boiley. We've never

1304
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: seen this in his entire career. He's never looked as

1305
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: poor as he is in the last two weeks. Yeah,

1306
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: it's interesting that you say that because he's a guy

1307
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: that definitely brings a lot of swag to his game.

1308
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean, every time he gets the first down, we

1309
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: know the signal that he makes, you know, pointing down

1310
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: the field, and there's an ear to ear smile there

1311
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: and to hear you say that that's really hasn't been

1312
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: part of his game the last couple of weeks is

1313
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: in star contrast to what we're all accustomed to. And

1314
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: Maddy and I were actually talking about it earlier on

1315
01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: the show, Kyle, the fact that Coach Belichick was actually

1316
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: asked if he thinks that Cam is suffering from that

1317
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:08,799
Speaker 1: brain fog situation that some people who recover from COVID

1318
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: experience where they can't multitask, they can't remember something that

1319
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: they talked about five minutes ago. I mean, you can't

1320
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: play quarterback if you've got that. Now. I know Belichick

1321
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't give the answer that maybe some reporters were looking

1322
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: forward to excuse Cam's play, but I mean, you've got

1323
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: a wonder man. If he's looking this different from what

1324
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 1: everybody's accustomed to seeing. It's the only thing I can

1325
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: come up with in my armshare analysis, because again, he's healthy,

1326
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,839
Speaker 1: and he looked really good, not only running but throwing

1327
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: that game. Go you go back obviously the opener they

1328
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: lost the game to Seattle, and the last play of

1329
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: the game in which he looks great. And now remember

1330
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: about three weeks ago. The conversation was the Patriots should

1331
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: extend Cam long term. This should be their guy for

1332
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 1: the next five years. Now, it's like, who else do

1333
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: we got get stood him in there and they're not

1334
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 1: doing it. Belichick also said, I think it was yesterday

1335
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,759
Speaker 1: he said he's the best we have at this position,

1336
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: meaning Cam. All I know is this, if someone a

1337
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 1: friend of yours or a co worker of yours, or

1338
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: somebody looked right now in their life like Cam Newton

1339
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: doesn't his, you check in with them, you say you're

1340
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: doing all right, man, you need to get checked out.

1341
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: You need to talk to somebody. There's something going on

1342
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: and it's not physical. And I just find it a really,

1343
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 1: really ripe coincidence that he would come right after he

1344
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 1: tests positive for COVID nineteen, as do some of his teammates.

1345
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,560
Speaker 1: I think it's in his head. This Patriots team is

1346
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: two and four. They certainly look way different than they

1347
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: have in years past. The trade deadline is looming. Could

1348
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: we see the Patriots move on from any players ahead

1349
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: of that trade deadline? You know, we talked about that

1350
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:47,440
Speaker 1: this morning too, The idea that the Patriots never mind buyers,

1351
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: never mind, let's go get a linebacker, Let's get a

1352
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: tight end. Sellers of saying, let's wrap this thing up,

1353
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: it's really hard for me to imagine that it is,

1354
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: and because I just think that Belichick has too much pride.

1355
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Sure he's the ultimate strategist, but it's also still early.

1356
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: And let's be honest. They've had the Bill's number for years,

1357
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: recent history. And if they can beat Buffalo this week

1358
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden the clouds start to go away,

1359
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: it seems a little bit better. I just know that

1360
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:17,879
Speaker 1: I want to say one other thing about the Patriots,

1361
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are saying, well, I guess

1362
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: we learned that it was all Brady all along. And

1363
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: look what Brady's doing, Look what Belichick's doing. We can

1364
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: finally wrap that up. After twenty years Brady carried this thing.

1365
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about that. Let's not forget that

1366
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: this Patriots defense that was battered by the Niners last

1367
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: week lost Dante height Tower, their best linebacker, to an

1368
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: opt out. They lost Patrick Chung, one of their most

1369
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: reliable tacklers, to an opt out. They lost the starting

1370
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 1: quarterback for a couple of weeks to COVID nineteen. They

1371
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: lost the defensive player of the year. I think more

1372
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: than any team in the league. They've been hammered by

1373
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: COVID both in the preseason and during the season. I

1374
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,759
Speaker 1: don't think this is a rap. And everybody already writing

1375
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: the epitaph about the Bill Belichick era. Now that built

1376
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady has gone just way talk to us

1377
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: in a month. I actually do not think there'll be

1378
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 1: a lot of movement with the Patriots at the deadline,

1379
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're dead. And Bill's better take

1380
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 1: care of business this weekend. All right, last thing for me, Kyle,

1381
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: Let's take a sea. I'm gonna spin the dial for you.

1382
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: You can pick whatever you want from this dial around

1383
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, all kay, So you're either gonna talk to

1384
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,799
Speaker 1: me about your take on Antonio Brown now with the Bucks,

1385
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior's injury with the Cleveland Browns, or the

1386
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,799
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys struggling with Tabasco sauce.

1387
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: Take your pick. I mean, Chris, I think you know

1388
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 1: where I'm going. O'Dell. I hate the injury, and we

1389
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: never found Antonio Brown. Well, that's the topic for next week.

1390
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: Let's see him on the field. First, there's just something

1391
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: unbelievably I think the word is meta about the defensive

1392
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: coordinat of the Dallas Cowboys, who, overseeing maybe the worst

1393
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 1: defense in history, who can't even get through the press conference,

1394
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: are literally burning his eyes on Now, there's a lot

1395
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: of theories that he put that Tabasco in his eyes

1396
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: on purpose to wash out the site of the tape

1397
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 1: he had just seen at his defense on the field.

1398
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: I don't subscribe to that. Would you rather watch though,

1399
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 1: one series of the Cowboys playing defense or take the

1400
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: Tabasco right in the eyes? That's the Sophie's choices as

1401
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. My other take is red Tabasco sauce.

1402
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 1: Not a fan, not really into it. I don't know

1403
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: who's slopping that all over their lunch. I hope it

1404
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 1: was worth it, Mike Nolan, because frankly, I'm a green

1405
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Tabasco sauce guy, and I think Tabasco is sort of

1406
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: the middle of the road condiment, not worth the fiery

1407
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: burning in the eyes. And to begin, what you should

1408
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,839
Speaker 1: try is Frank's Red Hot, which is made here in Buffalo,

1409
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: So that's actually way classier than Tabasco. Yeah, it was

1410
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Frank's That's a classy move. I'd be willing to bet

1411
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: that the Steelers coaches have Franks in their eyes. Maybe

1412
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: the Bills coaches Dallas Tabasco, Yeah, America Sauce allegedly. And

1413
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've also here heard the other theories about

1414
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: why Nolan did that. One was he didn't want to

1415
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 1: look at his he didn't want to look at his

1416
01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 1: defense anymore. And the second one was he's better play

1417
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: call are blind than he would be if he could

1418
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: see the field and his players out there, which I

1419
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: thought was a little over the top there. I thought

1420
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: that was a little A season has to hit rock

1421
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: bottom before he can rebuild. I remember about four years

1422
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: ago the Jeff Fisher Rams were terrible team, and there

1423
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: was a moment in the middle of the game where

1424
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: he wanted to challenge a call and could not find

1425
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: the challenge flag in the pockets of the parka that

1426
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 1: he was wearing. It was a ridiculous look. He couldn't

1427
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: challenge because he couldn't find the flag. And I'm like,

1428
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: all right, the Rams just hit rock bottom. Now that

1429
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,520
Speaker 1: can build their way up. Nolan tobascoing his own eyeballs

1430
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: in the middle of the worst defensive performance in history.

1431
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: We got rock bottom. Baby, the turnaround, now the healing

1432
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: can begin. This might be a good thing. Yeah, they're

1433
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,919
Speaker 1: already saying that they should call them the Alice Cowboys

1434
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: because there's no d in Dallas. So yeah, it's it's

1435
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: getting bad on social media if you don't have to

1436
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: cruise around far on the social media wormhole to figure

1437
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: out what's going on there. All right. I do know

1438
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: that you like to give us a score every week,

1439
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: so why don't you do that for us? Builds Patriots? Okay, Bills, Patriots. Oh,

1440
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 1: by guy, that Bill's better win this game. If we

1441
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 1: come come on next week and the Bills don't win

1442
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: this damn game. Everybody crossed your fingers. I said earlier.

1443
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's tuned to nothing, as long

1444
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: as they have more. Here's what I'm gonna say. I

1445
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be really close. Like I think that,

1446
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots are gonna have something, and I

1447
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be low scoring, ugly game. Bills sixteen

1448
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: Patriots fourteen wins, sixteen to fourteen, Low scoring games, sloppy

1449
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: as hell, But Buffalo wins, so who cares exercise the demons?

1450
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: All right, we appreciate the time as always. Kyle, thanks

1451
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 1: for the insight, and we'll let you know if Dallas

1452
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: finds the D for the first letter in their city's name.

1453
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. If anybody knows a good scepter guy, look

1454
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:50,959
Speaker 1: me up. I'll give you a plumber or a contractor.

1455
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: I need a good scepter guy, good scepter guy. All right,

1456
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,719
Speaker 1: we'll work on that. Thanks Kyle. All Right, Kyle Brand

01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,560
Speaker 1: That was good. Oh yeah, it's it's my show. I

1461
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: watch every morning while I'm getting ready. It gets me

1462
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: ready for the day of football. And they are just

1463
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 1: so dang entertaining and hilarious. And there's two Chicagoans on there, right,

1464
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Kyle and Kaneka. They're Chicagoans, So why how couldn't you watch?

1465
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: All right, we have to take a break, but when

1466
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: we come back, I think we're going to take some

1467
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: phone calls and if there's time, we might see what's

1468
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: for lunch, because we haven't hand lunch in a while

1469
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: on the show, and we want to get to that,

1470
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 1: so we will try to do that when we return.

Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of yours as well as the

1482
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: other caller. Thank you, and um. I agree with most

1483
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: of the callers talking that, uh that this is a

1484
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 1: must win for us. We really have to put the

1485
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 1: distance and put between us and put the hammer down

1486
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: on the Patriots when they're appear to be down and out.

1487
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: And I did catch Kyle Brandt this morning on Good

1488
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: Morning Football and they spent a long time talking about

1489
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: how Cam Newton's supposed to get out of his funk,

1490
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I feel bad for the guy

1491
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,600
Speaker 1: in terms of having COVID, But I don't want the

1492
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: Patriots and getting out of their funk. I want us

1493
01:17:55,080 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: to really take care of them. On Sunday, Dan, do

1494
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: you care, Debbie, how the Bills win this game? I mean,

1495
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 1: do you do you need that like a step on

1496
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: their throat and beat them into submission game? Or are

1497
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: you just happy with any kind of win, any kind

1498
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:14,559
Speaker 1: of way. I okay, I want to win, but we

1499
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: are sick and tired of having the Patriots own us.

1500
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: And the thing is, we have to stop their run.

1501
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: I think they're fourth in rushing and you've seen the

1502
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: performances with Tennessee and the Chief that we couldn't stop

1503
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: the run. I know Milano's back in there. I know

1504
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edwards has struggled, but we have to stop their run.

1505
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: And again, we just need to take care of our business.

1506
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,440
Speaker 1: And I agree, I don't care if it's too nothing

1507
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: or fifty to forty nine. We need well, we need

1508
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 1: to make a statement and just say Belichick does not

1509
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: own us any longer. Despite all the differences in personnel

1510
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: now and I still hate Brady and uh, but again,

1511
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: we really have to make a statement and go up

1512
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: three games in the division. Thanks a lot, all right,

1513
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Deby. We appreciate it. Um. I

1514
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: don't think people care how they went, just when the

1515
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:21,639
Speaker 1: damn came up. Man, I want to win big, yes,

1516
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 1: I do, just want to win. But let's win big. Well,

1517
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 1: that would be great. I mean, don't get me wrong,

1518
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm all for that. Belichick has a way of reducing

1519
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: the playing field when it's uneven. He covers up weaknesses

1520
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 1: on his team, takes away the strength of your team,

1521
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: and somehow games end up being a lot closer than

1522
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:46,719
Speaker 1: people anticipate. And I don't know. I just I'm I'm

1523
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: seeing a close game. I hope I'm wrong. Believe me,

1524
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: I'll take thirty to nothing any day of the week.

1525
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Believe me, I will. I'll be partying down the street

1526
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: coming out of the facility sund day after the game

1527
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: if that happens. I just I've just seen too many

1528
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 1: of these I've seen too many of these movies. Team.

1529
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm scared. I'm scared. I'll admit it. I'm scared. It's fine,

1530
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 1: I'll just take any kind of win, any kind of

1531
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 1: way they can get it. We move along. We go

1532
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 1: to Tom in Buffalo. Tom, what do you have for us?

1533
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Hey, nice to speak to you

1534
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: guys again today. Yeah, a long story short dated a girl.

1535
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 1: She was a psych major Termy on Nietzsche, Carol Young

1536
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: a little segment Freud. And it's always an experience or

1537
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: a person that causes the psych problems. And I heard

1538
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,679
Speaker 1: Kyle talking this morning about it, and you were talking

1539
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: about it again, and it dawned on me it could

1540
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,719
Speaker 1: be Bill Belichick that has the Cam Newton's hut, because

1541
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: it was all wine and roses when he first brought

1542
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 1: him in, and now all of a sudden it's turned

1543
01:20:54,400 --> 01:21:01,959
Speaker 1: sour because Cam gave Gilmore COVID nineteen and Belichick blames

1544
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I'd like your opinion. Okay, what do you

1545
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: think of that? Mannie. I'll let you take a stab

1546
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 1: at that first. Well, I don't know how much facts

1547
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: we know on this one. I know we know that

1548
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and Stefan Gilmore had COVID nineteen, but I

1549
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:19,680
Speaker 1: don't think we're completely sure of how Stefan Gilmore contracted

1550
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: that or if Cam Newton gave stuff on Gilmore that

1551
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:25,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it makes sense that somebody could

1552
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 1: be in Cam Newton's head. Is it Bill Belichick? Possibly?

1553
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: I think when we were looking at these two and

1554
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:36,799
Speaker 1: the marriage of them coaching and playing for one another,

1555
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: we thought, is this going to work out? I mean,

1556
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is so different. Bill Belichick is someone who

1557
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: I think you don't see a lot of personalities live

1558
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,719
Speaker 1: on that team just because of how discipline that team

1559
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:52,839
Speaker 1: is and how much Belichick expects out of his players.

1560
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: But we've seen Cam Newton kind of be himself in

1561
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, and in training camp we

1562
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: saw that video dancing and wearing kind of what he

1563
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: wanted to wear during practice. Has that changed because he

1564
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: got COVID? Maybe? Yeah, Here's how I look at it.

1565
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,759
Speaker 1: First of all, it was widely reported that Cam Newton

1566
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 1: and Stefan Gilmour had dinner the Friday night before the

1567
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 1: Monday night game with the Chiefs, and then we all

1568
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: know what happened with Cam contracting the virus. Gilmore did

1569
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 1: not test positive, played in the game, and then turned

1570
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 1: up positive a few days later, and they had traced

1571
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: his whereabouts to having dinner with Cam Newton Friday. So

1572
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 1: the assumption, I guess it could never be proven, as

1573
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,600
Speaker 1: you said, Maddie, but the assumption was that Cam was

1574
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: the most likely person to pass it on to Stefan

1575
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: Gilmore sitting across from him for a dinner table for

1576
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: who knows how long. So that's part one. So yes,

1577
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: if you want to pin it on him, I guess

1578
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: you can do that if you feel it's you're in

1579
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 1: the right to do that. But I think secondarily, I

1580
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: don't think it's Belichick blaming Newton for Gilmore's COVID. It's

1581
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 1: not like he took Gilmore off the field for the

1582
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 1: rest of the season. He's playing and Newton's back as well.

1583
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:13,719
Speaker 1: So to me, I think that the problem here lies

1584
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: in the personality clash. I think that Cam Newton is

1585
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: a free spirit, big ego, flamboyant player, and those kinds

1586
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: of players typically do not end up in New England

1587
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: because it is a by the book, you do it

1588
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: this way, you know, the whole Patriot way and all

1589
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 1: of that and freelancing, showboating, all of that stuff doesn't

1590
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:45,680
Speaker 1: really fly with Belichick, And who knows what the conversations

1591
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: were like between those two and this relationship first started.

1592
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: But there's a part of me that wonders if Cam

1593
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:58,600
Speaker 1: feels what's the word I'm looking for here, if he

1594
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 1: feels inhibited by the way the daily operation functions at

1595
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 1: one Patriot Place. I think he feels like his wings

1596
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 1: have been clipped, so to speak, and he can't be

1597
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 1: who he is. And if Cam can't be who he is,

1598
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you get the best Cam on the

1599
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: field either. And I don't know that Belichick cares. He

1600
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: might care now with the way the offense has looked.

1601
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: He still believes in him as a player. He said,

1602
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: he's the best guy I have for quarterback. But where

1603
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 1: does it go from here? As we have said, we're

1604
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: all too happy to see him struggle. So if that

1605
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: continues this week, all the better for the Bills. Let's

1606
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: go back to the phones and we'll go to uh,

1607
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: what do we have here? We got Lauren and Rochester,

1608
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Thanks for joining us? Hey,

1609
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: Chris and Mandy, how are you doing? Good? Good? Good?

1610
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 1: Let's have a woman on the shore for once. I

1611
01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: still make concerns about Belichick because I don't think he's

1612
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,719
Speaker 1: ever lost burn a role and thanks, it's funning against

1613
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: the Bill, which Kyle Brant says that he is, you

1614
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: know he is, he is the biggest problem for the Bill. Um.

1615
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna know if you think Schulman Dermott might

1616
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: have you know, took a good you know page of

1617
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: his book to you know, to show him that the

1618
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: Bills look for real even without Tom Brady. And I

1619
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: think that um Bill checks would come out, you know

1620
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 1: with a there's back and try to do some more schemes.

1621
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 1: So just let me know what your idea is about

1622
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 1: that game. Okay, thanks for the call. We appreciate it.

1623
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if um Belichick comes out and

1624
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: just tries to run it down the Bill's throat. Um.

1625
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: That is the one thing they do really well. They

1626
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 1: have a multitude of backs that they can turn to

1627
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 1: birkheads like their hammer. White has killed this team a

1628
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: number of times catching balls out of the backfield. Um,

1629
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: they're good at running the ball, so don't even shell.

1630
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 1: And even that young kid they have, now what's his name,

1631
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 1: I got him right here, Damian Harris, has done a

1632
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: nice job for them too. He actually started last week's game,

1633
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 1: so they've got a handful of running backs, they're not

1634
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: afraid to use any of them, and they've run the

1635
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 1: ball relatively effectively. And I think their pass protection has

1636
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: been suspect because their offensive line has been nicked up.

1637
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: And it's Nick Dupp coming into this game, so I

1638
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:27,719
Speaker 1: think he does what is probably the thing he feels

1639
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 1: most confident in, which is trying to run the ball.

1640
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 1: And the Bills defense has shown itself to be susceptible

1641
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: to the run game with the exception of last week

1642
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 1: and maybe with the exception of the Tennessee game. So

1643
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: I think that's what they're going to try strategically anyway. Yeah,

1644
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,639
Speaker 1: I think the weaknesses are out there for this Buffalo

1645
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: Bills team on offense and defense. I mean they've played

1646
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: seven games already. You know how they you know where

1647
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: they struggle, you know what they've been working on. You're

1648
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:57,760
Speaker 1: going to deploy a plan that goes against those weaknesses

1649
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 1: and attacks those weaknesses and expose is even more, Bill

1650
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 1: Belichick is very familiar with the Buffalo Bills. They play

1651
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 1: that team twice a year. You know how a coach

1652
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: schemes coordinators too, So this is a smart coach coming

1653
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 1: into this game. With plans that he has with how

1654
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 1: he can dismantle this Bill's team, especially this year, possibly

1655
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: going after the run and trying to cover Josh Allen

1656
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 1: up with no offensive weapons to throw too. That's why

1657
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,280
Speaker 1: I just but I just think there are weaknesses on

1658
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 1: this Patriots team that we haven't seen before. I mean,

1659
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 1: they don't have anybody that can get separation in the

1660
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:40,759
Speaker 1: passing game. Even Edelman has struggled at times. He's battling injuries,

1661
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: it seems, and playing through them. So I'm really interested

1662
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: to see if the Bills can truly make the Patriots

1663
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:49,680
Speaker 1: offense one dimensional by shutting down their run game, which

1664
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: is the only thing they really have going for them.

1665
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: I think you've got them at that point, you've got

1666
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: them dead to rights. So hopefully they can do that.

1667
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 1: On Sunday, we have to take a break, but when

1668
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: we return, we'll get back to your phone calls and

1669
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: we'll get at the top of the hour or in

1670
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes time, we'll get to some comments from

1671
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 1: the coordinators, Brian Dable and Leslie Frasier with their take

1672
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 1: on where they feel their respective sides of the ball

1673
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: stand coming out of that victory over the Jets all

1674
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 1: coming your way. Next here on One Bill's Live, presented

1675
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris Brown,

1676
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: Natty Glad with you One Bills Live Tuesday edition, and

1677
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 1: we do want to get back to the phones to

1678
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: get your thoughts as we are discussing how critical Sunday's

1679
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots is when it comes to the

1680
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 1: AFC East Division race. Obviously a win would make the

1681
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Bills four and o in the division and put them

1682
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 1: squarely in the driver's seat and drop the Patriots to

1683
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: two and five. Doesn't even sound right to say, but

1684
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 1: we'll all be happy if that is in fact the

1685
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: result coming out of Sunday's game. We go back to

1686
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:02,599
Speaker 1: the phones and we go to Jeffrey in West Seneca. Jeffrey,

1687
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you have all right?

1688
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,679
Speaker 1: First time call it in. Thanks for doing it good

1689
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: just as far as the game goes. I've been a

1690
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 1: Bills fans season ticket holder and so forth for a

1691
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: long time and similar to the decade that the Bills

1692
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 1: have problems with the Dolphins, you know recently, of course,

1693
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 1: it's been the Patriots to me in this game psychologically

1694
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: and so forth. Is the most important game maybe of

1695
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:35,959
Speaker 1: the season. It sets the table for the conference. Conference

1696
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: win definitely the Division. It kind of puts some foreign

1697
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,559
Speaker 1: all which really puts pressure on them. And with the

1698
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 1: last two division games being Week sixteen and seventeen in Miami,

1699
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: playing a lot better, but we have Miami at home,

1700
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:54,679
Speaker 1: I think it's imperative to win. I think it sets

1701
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: a lot of tone for the team the league to

1702
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 1: get past the Belichick my said or Brady, whatever you

1703
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: want to call, and it's very important. But I think

1704
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 1: the key is John Brown. I think John Brown is

1705
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 1: going to be the key to open things up, to

1706
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 1: give the passing game back to a little bit where

1707
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:19,960
Speaker 1: they were before. But I think they especially in the

1708
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 1: first half of the Jets game, I think they stayed

1709
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 1: away from the run too much. I mean, really, the

1710
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 1: only runs in the first half was by Josh. It

1711
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 1: seemed like they changed at momentum in the second half

1712
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:36,560
Speaker 1: and started to do draws inside runs, which a little effective.

1713
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:40,639
Speaker 1: And I think, yes, it's a passing league, but if

1714
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 1: you can't run at least to some point, especially with

1715
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo weather and the wins and so forth, it's going

1716
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:51,000
Speaker 1: to be difficult against teams that are going to be

1717
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 1: a lot stronger going down the stretch. Yeah. I don't

1718
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: think there's any question about that, Jeffrey, and we thank

1719
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,680
Speaker 1: you for the call. What do you think, Maddie like

1720
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,479
Speaker 1: run game? I think you know, we see all these

1721
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 1: balls flying through the air the first four weeks of

1722
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 1: the season by this Bill's offense, and we're like, all right,

1723
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 1: I guess that's what they are, that's their identity. But

1724
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 1: we heard coach McDermott say it a couple of weeks ago.

1725
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 1: He wants this offense to be a little more balanced.

1726
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,679
Speaker 1: I don't think he's looking for fifty fifty run to pass,

1727
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: but I think he wants to at least demonstrate an

1728
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 1: ability to run when they want to run. I think

1729
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 1: he wants this running game to be strong enough to

1730
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 1: be able to dictate to the defense, Hey, we're coming

1731
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: at you, and even though you know we're running the ball,

1732
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 1: you still can't stop us. I think success in the

1733
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,760
Speaker 1: run game is the keyword there. They haven't had much

1734
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:40,880
Speaker 1: success yet. And I point back to us having Eric

1735
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 1: Wood on yesterday and we asked him about offensive line

1736
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 1: protection and he said, through the air it's been great,

1737
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,879
Speaker 1: but run blocking, I don't know if it's that been

1738
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's been there yet for this

1739
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. So if you don't have an offensive line

1740
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,960
Speaker 1: that can protect you in the run game, that can

1741
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:00,759
Speaker 1: open up those holes for you with the running backs,

1742
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: you don't have much there. We're not sure what the

1743
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,639
Speaker 1: tight end situation is going to look like this week.

1744
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:10,680
Speaker 1: Lee Smith is an extra blocker for this team. I

1745
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 1: think they have to find the answers on the offensive line.

1746
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 1: Could it be because of chemistry that we haven't really

1747
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,719
Speaker 1: seen there yet with the moving parts, with Cody Ford

1748
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,519
Speaker 1: being out last week, with Quentin Spain no longer with

1749
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 1: this team, John Feliciano being on IR could he be

1750
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 1: with the team this week? We will see TBD on that.

1751
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 1: So you could point to that as the reason why

1752
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 1: we haven't seen much success from the offensive line in

1753
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 1: terms of protection in the run game. I think when

1754
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:42,200
Speaker 1: we do see that, you see more success from the

1755
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 1: running backs too, and Devin Singletary and Zach Moss once

1756
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 1: those holes are open for you. Yeah, I mean, I

1757
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 1: think they are gaining some traction in the run game.

1758
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 1: We saw some evidence of it, not a lot, some

1759
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: evidence of it in last week's game against the Jets,

1760
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 1: even though albeit they were an underman squad. I mean,

1761
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 1: they don't have two or three of the players they

1762
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 1: even had in Week one in their defensive front anymore

1763
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 1: in this second meeting between the Bills and the Jets,

1764
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: so you would almost anticipate that they would have more

1765
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,519
Speaker 1: success in the run game. But Moss popped a couple

1766
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:14,360
Speaker 1: of runs. I thought there were some good holes that

1767
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,240
Speaker 1: were opened up for the Backs on occasion. Now that

1768
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 1: just has to become a more consistent thing, and I

1769
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,799
Speaker 1: think in a game like this, I'm expecting the Patriots

1770
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:25,680
Speaker 1: to dare them to run the ball and prove that

1771
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,679
Speaker 1: they can run it effectively against the seven man box.

1772
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 1: So whether that happens or not, I guess remains to

1773
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: be seen. But I'm expecting the Patriots to do that

1774
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 1: and play a lot of deep coverage, not a ton

1775
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 1: of man just to try to keep everything in front

1776
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:41,639
Speaker 1: of them and challenge Josh Allen to be as efficient

1777
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 1: as he was last week. And on top of that,

1778
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,320
Speaker 1: they're going to have to run the ball more effectively

1779
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 1: than they did to the point where Josh isn't you're

1780
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 1: leading rusher yet again, because that is not a recipe

1781
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 1: for long term success. If your backs are not the

1782
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 1: ones that are leading the charge there in the ground

1783
01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:00,320
Speaker 1: effort the other thing. And we'll get to this in

1784
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: the second in the next hour because we're out of

1785
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: time here. But you hand this Patriot's team their fifth

1786
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 1: loss after seven games, the margin for error for them

1787
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: shrinks dramatically, especially when you consider the remainder of their schedule.

1788
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 1: We will discuss that on the other side when we return.

1789
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 1: We have to take a break now, but Maddie and

1790
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,240
Speaker 1: I will be back for our number three. If One

01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Healo Bill's Radio Network Sports your sports update

1793
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. Day off today for the Bills.

1794
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 1: Back on the practice field tomorrow as they gear up

1795
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: for Sunday's big divisional clash with the Patriots. Will wait

1796
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: for word on guard John Feliciano, with a decision to

1797
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:56,679
Speaker 1: be made on whether or not to activate him off

1798
01:34:56,680 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 1: of injured reserve by tomorrow, along with injury updates John Brown,

1799
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, and Josh Norman, among others. NFL trade Line

1800
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:07,719
Speaker 1: just a week away. There are reports the Jets continue

1801
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 1: to be sellers the niche meta of the New York

1802
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:12,759
Speaker 1: Daily News reporting the Jets are looking to move defensive

1803
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 1: tackle Quinnin Williams. However, there are other reports disputing his

1804
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,439
Speaker 1: availability via trade, so we'll have to see where that

1805
01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 1: one goes. The Cowboys have plenty of pass rushers they

1806
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: are willing to part with one of them. Reports say

1807
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are making it known the defensive end Everson

1808
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:30,640
Speaker 1: Griffin is available via trade. He's got three million in

1809
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 1: salary three million in per game roster bonuses, so with

1810
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 1: seven of the ten weeks completed or seven of the

1811
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:41,599
Speaker 1: games completed and nine games left to play, he's got

1812
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 1: about a one point seven six million in salary left

1813
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:47,280
Speaker 1: on his contract. Griffin, as you know, was a cornerstone

1814
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 1: for several years with the Minnesota Vikings, but as just

1815
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:51,759
Speaker 1: two and a half sacks and seven games for Dallas.

1816
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown will be getting his latest second chance in Tampa.

1817
01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 1: The Bucks have officially signed him to a one year

1818
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:01,879
Speaker 1: deal today. He will be la to play after Tampa's

1819
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 1: game this weekend against the Giants, so he could make

1820
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 1: his debut on Sunday Night Football against the Saints on

1821
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: November eighth, and Week seven wrapped up last night in

1822
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:14,559
Speaker 1: the NFL with Monday Night Football, as the Rams held

1823
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: off the Bears twenty four to ten thanks to two

1824
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 1: interceptions by Nick Foles. Sorry, Maddie, La punter Johnny Hecker

1825
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: was one of the stars of the evening for the Rams.

1826
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:26,560
Speaker 1: All five of his punts were down inside the Chicago

1827
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 1: ten yard line. This guy got a game Ball for

1828
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:32,599
Speaker 1: his efforts in the fourteen point win for the Rams.

1829
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 1: That's your sports update, Chris Brown, Maddie Glab here for

1830
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: hour number three of a Tuesday edition of One Bills Live.

1831
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 1: And we want to begin first with the conversation that

1832
01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:44,719
Speaker 1: I talked about right before the break. If the Bills

1833
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 1: can win this week and hand the Patriots their fifth

1834
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 1: loss in their first seven games, which still to me

1835
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:56,080
Speaker 1: doesn't even sound right, the margin for error shrinks dramatically

1836
01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 1: for the Patriots here, Maddie, because if you look at

1837
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 1: their schedule, wool and I'll slide it over to you

1838
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:03,760
Speaker 1: so it's ready and right in front of you. But

1839
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: if you look at the games they have left, there

1840
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:11,679
Speaker 1: are some serious opponents that they have there left to play,

1841
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:17,679
Speaker 1: including the Baltimore Ravens among others. You have five losses.

1842
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 1: You really can't have many more than one, maybe two,

1843
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 1: knowing that seven teams from the AFC get into the

1844
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:27,200
Speaker 1: playoffs if they want to have any playoff aspirations whatsoever.

1845
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:30,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you give them their fifth loss. I don't

1846
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 1: want to say they're dead and buried, but they're on

1847
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 1: life support. Yeah, you have the Ravens, the Cardinals, the Chargers,

1848
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: the Rams left to play the Dolphins, which who knows

1849
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: what Dolphins earlier exactly? Who knows what type of Dolphins

1850
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 1: team we could see in the later part of the season. Yeah,

1851
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:55,720
Speaker 1: you have five losses going into the Jets game. I

1852
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:57,880
Speaker 1: mean the New York Jets. We all know how that

1853
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:00,839
Speaker 1: team is playing this season. But head in your schedule,

1854
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 1: you have some tough games, and based on how you

1855
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 1: played in the first half of the season, losing the

1856
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:11,400
Speaker 1: last three games, the Broncos aren't a good team. Yeah,

1857
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:13,599
Speaker 1: but even that Houston game that they have to play

1858
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 1: down in Houston, that's not going to be a cake

1859
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,760
Speaker 1: walk for the Patriots either. I mean, they're playing better

1860
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 1: since they jettison their head coach. They're they're fighting and

1861
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 1: battling for Romeo Cornell, their interim head coach. So that's

1862
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 1: a tougher game than it might have been a few

1863
01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago. So you hand the Patriots their fifth loss,

1864
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,839
Speaker 1: I think you're in You're in good shape, in firmly

1865
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:36,680
Speaker 1: putting them in the rear view mirror, never to be

1866
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:40,680
Speaker 1: heard from again this season again. You never want to

1867
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: kick dirt on the Patriots because then they turn around

1868
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they're like the zombie from

1869
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 1: Hell and they've been raised from the dead and they're

1870
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 1: coming to eat your brain. But I think it certainly

1871
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:54,720
Speaker 1: puts their their twenty twenty fortunes on life support if

1872
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:57,600
Speaker 1: you can beat them this week. We will get to

1873
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 1: some sound from Leslie Frazier and for Brian Table shortly,

1874
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 1: but we do want to get to a caller that's

1875
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:04,960
Speaker 1: been waiting here. It's Jim in Lockport. Jim, what do

1876
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:08,920
Speaker 1: you have for us? Thanks for joining us? Jim, are

1877
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 1: you with us? Yeah? Can you hear me? I got you? Now?

1878
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:15,639
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? The second the difference

1879
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:17,639
Speaker 1: in the defense between the first half and the second

1880
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 1: half of that last game, the Jets game, he reminded

1881
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: me of h and an analogy for from remember the Titans.

1882
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:27,639
Speaker 1: At halftime they said I don't want them to gain

1883
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:34,000
Speaker 1: another yard and slit them all day. Well they you're right,

1884
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:37,719
Speaker 1: they do you think that they might have the defense

1885
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:40,880
Speaker 1: might have found their identity by switching Jerry Hughes to

1886
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 1: the other side. Oh, putting him on the left side

1887
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:46,120
Speaker 1: to rush. Um. Yeah, I mean he's been working over

1888
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 1: there sparingly. Um. It was funny because and thanks for

1889
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:52,759
Speaker 1: the call. Jim Mario Addison mentioned it coming into the season.

1890
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 1: If you remember Matt, he said, I'd like to rush

1891
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 1: off the right side. I know Jerry's over there, but

1892
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to talk to him and see if

1893
01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,760
Speaker 1: we can switch every now and then they may want

1894
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 1: to keep but this way after the success that Jerry had,

1895
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:05,600
Speaker 1: because I mean that defensive effort was very strong. I

1896
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 1: thought Ed Oliver had a strong game in pushing the

1897
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 1: pocket because when the guys came around the edge, there

1898
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 1: was no place for Sam Darnold to step up in

1899
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 1: the pocket. And I think that was a big reason

1900
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 1: why they did get the six sacks because there was

1901
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 1: nowhere for Sam to step up very often. So I

1902
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,519
Speaker 1: was encouraged by that too. Is this the identity of

1903
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:25,240
Speaker 1: the defense. I don't know, what do you think you

1904
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:28,280
Speaker 1: think blitzing and going bananas and send an extra people.

1905
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 1: I think we need a couple more games to see

1906
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 1: what the identity of this defense is. We were looking

1907
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 1: for that inside pressure from the Bill's defense the last

1908
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 1: few weeks and we got it this week. Like you said,

1909
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 1: with Ed Oliver and Leslie. Fraser talked about the defensive

1910
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:45,360
Speaker 1: lines performance in this game and said he was proud

1911
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 1: of what a Japanessa did, was proud of what Vernon

1912
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,559
Speaker 1: Butler was able to do in the middle there too,

1913
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:53,439
Speaker 1: and was also proud of, of course, Jerry Hughes and

1914
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:57,120
Speaker 1: his performance. Said it was the biggest leadership he's seen

1915
01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 1: out of Jerry Hughes in a game. And you think

1916
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 1: about Lorenzo Alexander, Kyle Williams, those type of players who

1917
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 1: have been on the team with Jerry and who they've

1918
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:10,559
Speaker 1: been able to learn from, and the leaders on this

1919
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:14,280
Speaker 1: defense are on this team are kind of they were

1920
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 1: in question this season going into the season with you

1921
01:41:17,640 --> 01:41:21,000
Speaker 1: losing Lorenzo Alexander, Who's going to be that guy that

1922
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 1: steps up on defense? Yeah, you looked to players like

1923
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, who who's your mic linebacker, who's your quarterback?

1924
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,639
Speaker 1: In the defense, but dang, he's a young guy. Jerry

1925
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:32,960
Speaker 1: Hughes is someone who who I think could really take

1926
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,680
Speaker 1: a leap in leadership this season, and looked like he

1927
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:38,599
Speaker 1: did in this game against the Jets. I mean, holy moly,

1928
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 1: two sacks of force, fumble, an interception, six total tackles.

1929
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:45,519
Speaker 1: He had a great game and I would love to

1930
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: see more out of him going forward. Yeah, and speaking

1931
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:52,040
Speaker 1: of Leslie Frasier, we do have a couple of his comments.

1932
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:54,720
Speaker 1: He was not only very pleased with the play of

1933
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:57,680
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes and at Oliver, but one guy that did

1934
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:00,599
Speaker 1: gets a more playing time this week was their top choice,

1935
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:07,679
Speaker 1: aj Epinessa. Here is coach Fraser on Epins's progress. Yeah,

1936
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:09,840
Speaker 1: you can see his confidence really growing. You know, the

1937
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:12,839
Speaker 1: game is definitely not too big for him. He's beginning

1938
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:14,880
Speaker 1: to show more and more of his repertoire when it

1939
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 1: comes to rushing a passer, just getting a lot more

1940
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,759
Speaker 1: comfortable as he gains confidence about playing in the NFL.

1941
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 1: And you would expect that to be the case as

1942
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,559
Speaker 1: the year goes on, with the short training camp that

1943
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: he had and no run up to the season. So

1944
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 1: it's really good to see how he's beginning to get

1945
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:34,680
Speaker 1: into a groove and grow as a player. The thing

1946
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:36,640
Speaker 1: that I liked that we saw from him in the

1947
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 1: game was the way he was able to use his length.

1948
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 1: He was very successful in getting to the quarterback in

1949
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 1: college by taking advantage of his length, long legs, long arm.

1950
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 1: He's got a long frame, and he's able to keep

1951
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:54,040
Speaker 1: that offensive tackle from getting his hands on him and

1952
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:57,640
Speaker 1: controlling him, you know, by grabbing onto his to his

1953
01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:00,360
Speaker 1: breastplate there and then steering him. He doesn't allow the

1954
01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:03,360
Speaker 1: offensive tackle to do that. And because of that, he

1955
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 1: can get around the edge, and he did that on

1956
01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:07,920
Speaker 1: the sack that he participated in. And I also think

1957
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 1: that he's pretty good at setting the edge. I don't

1958
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,959
Speaker 1: think he's perfect yet, but as he continues to progress

1959
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 1: in that area, I think this is a guy that

1960
01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna want on the field, definitely on rundowns, because

1961
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:21,679
Speaker 1: he's a little bit bigger and stouter for a defensive

1962
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 1: end at two hundred and sixty pounds. You know, he's

1963
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:26,160
Speaker 1: not a bend the end pass rusher like a Jerry Hughes.

1964
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 1: He's a bigger, sturdier guy, and that's the kind of

1965
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 1: guy you want on the edge on first and ten

1966
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:35,559
Speaker 1: or on second and three obvious rundown. So I'm encouraged

1967
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 1: by what we saw from Epinessa. I think his play

1968
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:39,600
Speaker 1: was good enough where I wouldn't be surprised if he

1969
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:42,240
Speaker 1: gets even more playing time this week. Yeah. I mean,

1970
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 1: he's your top draft pick this year. It was great

1971
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 1: to see a little bit more out of him. He

1972
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:50,960
Speaker 1: was inactive to start the season there, and one reason

1973
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 1: why is, of course, Darryl Johnson is a player who's

1974
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:56,559
Speaker 1: done a lot for this team on special teams. And

1975
01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 1: you look to those two and what they can provide

1976
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:02,720
Speaker 1: to this defense, and it's nice to see a Japanessa

1977
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:05,439
Speaker 1: has taken a step forward in that regard. And I

1978
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:07,920
Speaker 1: remember in the beginning of the season, I think it

1979
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 1: was in training camp, before the season even started, they

1980
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:13,799
Speaker 1: were being asked about and they talking about Leslie Fraser

1981
01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott kind of a Japanessa what he's been

1982
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 1: able to do, and they had said that aj was

1983
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:23,639
Speaker 1: learning all four positions on this defensive line, So taking

1984
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:26,560
Speaker 1: on all four positions, trying to learn all four positions

1985
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: from a defensive line coach who was in his first

1986
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 1: year on this team too. That could be a lot

1987
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:33,640
Speaker 1: to handle and to be able to show up on

1988
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:36,720
Speaker 1: the field and make plays that matter. I like to

1989
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:38,679
Speaker 1: see that. I mean, he's got the six sixth frame,

1990
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 1: he's two sixty. Use his strengths, you use those long

1991
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 1: arms to be able to effect the passer. Yeah, and

1992
01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:47,840
Speaker 1: we haven't seen him, even though as you said, yes,

1993
01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 1: he's had to try to learn all four positions, it

1994
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 1: looks like they're not trying to give him too much

1995
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:55,880
Speaker 1: to do in games. His playing time hasn't been very heavy,

1996
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:57,599
Speaker 1: so maybe that's part of the reason too. But we've

1997
01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: pretty much only seen him at the end positions, not

1998
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:02,960
Speaker 1: inside yet. But I think in due time, you know,

1999
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:05,599
Speaker 1: you get in an obvious passing down situation, a two

2000
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pound defensive end ken kick inside. We

2001
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 1: saw the Bills do that with Shack Lawson a lot

2002
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:13,080
Speaker 1: last year. I wouldn't be surprised if next year, at

2003
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:14,760
Speaker 1: this time you're seeing a j up and as to

2004
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: do that for this football team. Coach Frasier also addressed

2005
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 1: something that Maddie already touched on the leadership displayed by

2006
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes. Now he is a captain this year, but

2007
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:30,839
Speaker 1: you know, the last several years, he's been a teammate

2008
01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 1: of Kyle Williams, he retired two years ago. Lorenzo Alexander

2009
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:36,600
Speaker 1: kind of filled that void in terms of leadership on

2010
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. This year, I think

2011
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 1: they've been looking for it, and it looks like from

2012
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 1: the sounds of coach Frasier's next comment that Jerry Hughes

2013
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 1: was the guy that stepped into the breach, not to

2014
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,800
Speaker 1: the degree that I saw yesterday and that I've been

2015
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:54,559
Speaker 1: seeing of late. And part of that, Kevin is some

2016
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:56,679
Speaker 1: of the guys we had in those roles and those

2017
01:45:56,760 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 1: leadership roles. I mean, when you're you know, out there

2018
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 1: with Kyle Lorenzo, you those guys kind of fill those

2019
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:05,719
Speaker 1: shoes half field those shoes for us in the past.

2020
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:09,240
Speaker 1: Now we're lacking at a little bit, and so you

2021
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:11,280
Speaker 1: don't have a Kyle, we don't have a Lorenzo who

2022
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 1: steps into that road. And yesterday, you know, I saw

2023
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 1: Jared do it at a level that I hadn't seen before.

2024
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: Although he's been working towards that. I think that bows

2025
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 1: well for us in the future. So it looks like

2026
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:26,759
Speaker 1: Jerry is decided I'm going to be that guy, and

2027
01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:30,240
Speaker 1: he at halftime had some words with his teammates and said,

2028
01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:32,800
Speaker 1: let's go win this game. Let's go take things over

2029
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:34,920
Speaker 1: and shut this offense down to the Jets, and man,

2030
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 1: they did it in a big, big way. And you

2031
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 1: wonder where where that defense goes from here. Now, yes,

2032
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:45,840
Speaker 1: you have a Patriots offense that is struggling coming in,

2033
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 1: but they can run the football. So do you have

2034
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:51,720
Speaker 1: the same answer this week that you had in the

2035
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:55,080
Speaker 1: second half last week? That's the big question. Man. I

2036
01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:57,680
Speaker 1: hope so. And Jerry Hughes was also the player that

2037
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 1: said after the Chief's loss that they wanted to get

2038
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 1: the defense together and watch film before they met with

2039
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 1: the coaches. I think that's a leadership step that maybe

2040
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Jerry Hughes take. I'm in I'm not

2041
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 1: inside the building with these guys every single day, so

2042
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But maybe that's a step forward that

2043
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 1: they hadn't taken yet this season. And that's what this

2044
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:20,680
Speaker 1: defense really needed to be able to come together and

2045
01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:23,640
Speaker 1: to figure out how to play for each other and

2046
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:26,400
Speaker 1: not just for the coaches. Let's flip it over to

2047
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. Brian Dabel also spoke

2048
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:33,519
Speaker 1: with the media yesterday, and I know that everybody always

2049
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 1: wants to, you know, find out, well, what did the

2050
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:40,400
Speaker 1: coaches think of Josh Allen's play? And you know, Dabel's

2051
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 1: are always pretty revealing in terms of his thoughts. He's

2052
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,440
Speaker 1: always very positive about Josh, as he trusts him implicitly.

2053
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 1: Here was his take on Josh's three hundred yard passing

2054
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 1: performance against the Jets on Sunday. I think that's a

2055
01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:56,560
Speaker 1: that's a tough question right now where we're at. We

2056
01:47:56,680 --> 01:48:00,200
Speaker 1: just gotta you know, focus on doing a good job, um,

2057
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 1: you know with the things that we need to do

2058
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:04,920
Speaker 1: for this week, which we're just kind of getting started

2059
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:08,120
Speaker 1: in the introductory phases of it. Um. You know, I

2060
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 1: just know how important football in general is to this community,

2061
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 1: and we got to do a good job of trying

2062
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:17,840
Speaker 1: to go out there and play well. Actually, briant Able

2063
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:20,599
Speaker 1: talking about what a win over the Patriots would mean

2064
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:25,240
Speaker 1: for Buffalo, the fans, the players, etc. Now let's hear

2065
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:30,240
Speaker 1: him talk about Josh's performance Sunday against the Jets. To

2066
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:32,600
Speaker 1: have those long drives, which you know we've had the

2067
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, you know, you have to you

2068
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:38,559
Speaker 1: have to play good sound football, and you know, we

2069
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 1: certainly moved the ball yesterday, and there's times where you know,

2070
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 1: we get down there inside the thirty five and put

2071
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 1: ourselves in some tough spots on third and longs. But

2072
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:51,320
Speaker 1: he did a good job of throwing checkdowns when he

2073
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:56,599
Speaker 1: needed to utilize Cole, he utilize Steff on some underneath routes. Um.

2074
01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 1: You know, for a guy that obviously likes to push

2075
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:03,960
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, it was good to see

2076
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 1: him be able to go ahead and make the right

2077
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:09,280
Speaker 1: decision and just move the ball and get it to

2078
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 1: the guys you needed to get it too. So, you know,

2079
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:15,120
Speaker 1: I think that you look at the performance that Josh

2080
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 1: had and everybody's going to point to the fact that

2081
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:18,439
Speaker 1: they didn't get the ball in the end zone and

2082
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 1: went over five in the red zone. But I think

2083
01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 1: he did take a step. When he can throw for

2084
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and as too long as pass plays

2085
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 1: are thirty eight and twenty three yards, most of those

2086
01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:31,760
Speaker 1: yards coming after catches on short to intermediate throws, I

2087
01:49:31,800 --> 01:49:36,600
Speaker 1: think it shows that Josh has incorporated patience into his

2088
01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:41,400
Speaker 1: game and has kind of pulled the reins in on himself.

2089
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 1: To not play hero ball and try to get everything

2090
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:46,920
Speaker 1: in one play. I think we're seeing the full scope

2091
01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 1: of what Josh Allen can do as a quarterback. He

2092
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:53,920
Speaker 1: checked off the rushing box early in his career as

2093
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback. We've seen him with those deep ball passes,

2094
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:01,559
Speaker 1: really connecting on those this season, and now we're seeing

2095
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 1: him work on those short intermediate throws, like you say,

2096
01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:09,519
Speaker 1: those underneath routes that the defense has given Josh and

2097
01:50:09,680 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 1: his offense. You're seeing him be able to do a

2098
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:16,679
Speaker 1: multitude of things, not just connect on those deep passes

2099
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:19,760
Speaker 1: or rely on his feet. I'm excited to see what

2100
01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:21,960
Speaker 1: he can do going forward because you prove that you

2101
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 1: can do this, you prove that you can be a

2102
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 1: patient quarterback. It's going to get even harder for defenses

2103
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:29,759
Speaker 1: to be able to scheme up against Josh Allen because

2104
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:33,360
Speaker 1: you're you're showing that you can find answers anywhere on

2105
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 1: the field. And I want to believe that he learned

2106
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 1: his lesson the hard way last year. The Week four game,

2107
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills were doing everything to hold the

2108
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:45,800
Speaker 1: Patriots down on the scoreboard. They only give up ten

2109
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 1: points by the time that game's over, but Josh turns

2110
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:51,519
Speaker 1: it over four times and they lose the game sixteen

2111
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:53,880
Speaker 1: to ten. Sorry, they give up sixteen points. Bills only

2112
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:58,599
Speaker 1: had ten points, And from that point on, Josh cut

2113
01:50:58,640 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 1: down on the turnovers roomatically. Then you only add three

2114
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:04,320
Speaker 1: or four the rest of the season from week four.

2115
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:07,840
Speaker 1: So you look at that and you say, Okay, he

2116
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 1: learned his lesson, because you know his competitive juices are

2117
01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:12,800
Speaker 1: going to be flowing when he steps on the field

2118
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:15,519
Speaker 1: this weekend to I mean, he wants to beat this

2119
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:17,760
Speaker 1: team as bad as anybody. He hasn't beaten him yet either,

2120
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:23,360
Speaker 1: But you have to take that and exercise a measure

2121
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:26,599
Speaker 1: of composure in this game, because if you get too

2122
01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:29,960
Speaker 1: far out over your skis, this defense is still good

2123
01:51:30,040 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 1: enough to take the ball away. As we mentioned, Patriots

2124
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:35,560
Speaker 1: already have twelve takeaways in six games. They're still a

2125
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:37,760
Speaker 1: pretty good secondary. They may not be the number one

2126
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 1: defense in football anymore. They may have trouble stopping the run,

2127
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: but you throw into the teeth of that secondary, they

2128
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 1: will make you pay if you make a wrong decision

2129
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 1: or you get a little too aggressive. So hopefully this

2130
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 1: team as a whole can exercise what you hear coaches

2131
01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:57,720
Speaker 1: say sometimes controlled aggression, be aggressive, but doing in a

2132
01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 1: way that's not reckless. And I think if they do that,

2133
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:03,920
Speaker 1: they should come out on top in this game. To

2134
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,720
Speaker 1: what degree, I'm still not sure. I still think it's

2135
01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:08,920
Speaker 1: going to be a close game. These Division games, I

2136
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 1: don't know. They just always seem to wind up being close,

2137
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:14,000
Speaker 1: and I think this one will be close this week.

2138
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 1: Do I want to blow out win? You bet your booty.

2139
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 1: I do. But I just don't know if we're going

2140
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 1: to see that. I don't know that we're I don't

2141
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:23,760
Speaker 1: know that we're there yet. I want to think that

2142
01:52:23,800 --> 01:52:25,559
Speaker 1: we are, but I'm not sure. I'm going to be

2143
01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:27,920
Speaker 1: optimistic we're we're going to see it. I think we're

2144
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:31,200
Speaker 1: going to see it. Okay, So we do have some

2145
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 1: people on the line waiting at eight o three five fifty.

2146
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 1: As we have been talking all day about the critical

2147
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:38,760
Speaker 1: importance of this game as it pertains to the division race.

2148
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:40,559
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a must win? Do you think

2149
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 1: they have to have it? We'll get to the tweet

2150
01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:44,800
Speaker 1: sheet shortly, but before we do that, we go to

2151
01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:47,800
Speaker 1: Dave in Florida at eight O three five fifty. Dave,

2152
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 1: what do you have for us. Thanks for joining us.

2153
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 1: How are you doing over there? Good? We're doing all right,

2154
01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:55,439
Speaker 1: all right, all right, listen, I think we got to

2155
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:57,880
Speaker 1: take out in New England. Okay, so I think we're

2156
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:00,120
Speaker 1: going to beat them good and then a second and

2157
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:02,400
Speaker 1: half of the season. If we can go three and five,

2158
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 1: that's going to put us the first place and have

2159
01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 1: us our home game we want for the playoffs. And

2160
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 1: the second thing I want to say is that you

2161
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 1: look good, Chris, and you got quite an update sitting

2162
01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:18,519
Speaker 1: next to you over there that Maddie Glab the Maddie

2163
01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:21,280
Speaker 1: fan Club is out today in full force. She knows,

2164
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 1: she knows what she's doing. Oh yeah, appreciate it, all right,

2165
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 1: all right, all right, so let's go and get him.

2166
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:31,880
Speaker 1: All right, all right, thanks Dave. Appreciate the phone call. Um. Yeah,

2167
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:35,519
Speaker 1: I mean they win, they're sitting pretty I mean four

2168
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:39,840
Speaker 1: and oh in the division. I mean, that's when's the

2169
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:42,840
Speaker 1: last time that's happened? You know what? That would be

2170
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 1: an interesting thing for us to research when we actually

2171
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:47,920
Speaker 1: have a half a second, you know, with all that

2172
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:50,400
Speaker 1: you're juggling and all that I'm juggling, it'd be interesting

2173
01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 1: to see the last time the bill sprinted out to

2174
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:55,400
Speaker 1: a four and oh division record to start the season.

2175
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:58,559
Speaker 1: I got to imagine it's been it's been a minute,

2176
01:53:59,720 --> 01:54:02,760
Speaker 1: just because they invariably play the Patriots early in the

2177
01:54:02,760 --> 01:54:05,240
Speaker 1: season and then that loss gets chalked up in the

2178
01:54:05,280 --> 01:54:08,639
Speaker 1: division record. So yeah, I got to imagine it's it's

2179
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:10,360
Speaker 1: been a while since they've been four and o in

2180
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:13,200
Speaker 1: the division to start the year. We're gonna have to

2181
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:16,519
Speaker 1: comb through the season results year by year to see

2182
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:19,280
Speaker 1: the last time that that happened eight oh three, five

2183
01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:22,160
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five fifty. We

2184
01:54:22,200 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 1: do also have the tweet sheet that we have not

2185
01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:28,000
Speaker 1: gotten to yet, which, as you know, is brought to

2186
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:32,840
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

2187
01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. And we begin with Jeremy because

2188
01:54:36,440 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 1: we're asking how critical a Sunday's game against the Patriots

2189
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:42,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to the division race, And Jeremy says,

2190
01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm hoping the last month has been a sign of

2191
01:54:45,320 --> 01:54:49,680
Speaker 1: the Pats finally falling. Now is the time to drop

2192
01:54:49,720 --> 01:54:52,960
Speaker 1: the hammer and not look back. So this game is

2193
01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:56,600
Speaker 1: a must win. The AFC is impressive with talent to

2194
01:54:56,720 --> 01:55:00,760
Speaker 1: hope for a wild card division title or bust. So

2195
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:03,680
Speaker 1: he's worried about the AFC landscape right now. He's saying, Look,

2196
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: we don't want to be hoping for a wild card

2197
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:08,720
Speaker 1: here this year. Let's just drop the hammer on the Patriots.

2198
01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 1: Go four and oh in the division and win the

2199
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:13,640
Speaker 1: division come the end of the season. Yeah, the AFC,

2200
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:16,960
Speaker 1: that's a talented conference. I don't want to rely on

2201
01:55:17,040 --> 01:55:20,400
Speaker 1: that either. I just want to win the outright, win

2202
01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:23,960
Speaker 1: the East, and then move along in the playoffs. From

2203
01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:27,280
Speaker 1: Robert on the tweet sheet, I choose a it's important

2204
01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:28,920
Speaker 1: to stay at number one in the division so we

2205
01:55:28,920 --> 01:55:30,840
Speaker 1: have a better chance of getting a home playoff game

2206
01:55:31,080 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 1: and to pull away from Miami if they continue to

2207
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,760
Speaker 1: play well. Really the Dolphins of the wild card here, Mattie,

2208
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 1: Because while everybody's excited about two were getting into the lineup,

2209
01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:43,480
Speaker 1: do we really know what two is going to give them?

2210
01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, he was a talented college quarterback. We

2211
01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:49,680
Speaker 1: all know how his career like he rocketed to superstartom.

2212
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 1: He was like a super nova there coming into the

2213
01:55:51,560 --> 01:55:54,280
Speaker 1: National Championship game in the second half and winning the

2214
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:58,160
Speaker 1: thing for Alabama. But the NFL is a different animal,

2215
01:55:58,240 --> 01:56:00,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't think anybody knows what we're gonna get

2216
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:03,000
Speaker 1: from him yet. This team's coming off the bye week,

2217
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:05,360
Speaker 1: They're playing the Rams, not an easy game for them.

2218
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 1: Are they a wild card here in this division rates?

2219
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they're the closest to the Bills right now.

2220
01:56:10,960 --> 01:56:12,680
Speaker 1: I think they could be. I think they are, just

2221
01:56:12,720 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 1: because we're not sure about Twa yet. We're not sure

2222
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:18,560
Speaker 1: what he can provide to this offense. We all saw

2223
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 1: how bummed Fits was to lose that starting job. So

2224
01:56:22,480 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 1: if you have someone like Fits who has proved that

2225
01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 1: he can be reliable for this Miami Dolphins team, and

2226
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 1: you're going to ta, ta better be the answer for

2227
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:33,280
Speaker 1: this offense. Yes, they have some good receivers, they have

2228
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:36,400
Speaker 1: a multitude of running backs that they've used. They spend

2229
01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 1: a lot of money on their defense in the off season.

2230
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:42,440
Speaker 1: So you put all those parts together, and I think

2231
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 1: you do have a team who could make a run

2232
01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 1: for its money towards the second half of the season.

2233
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:50,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to the phones. At eight

2234
01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:54,040
Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty, we go to Mike and Brockton. Mike,

2235
01:56:54,120 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show. Welcome.

2236
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm not too happy with Dables coming and he just

2237
01:57:00,440 --> 01:57:04,960
Speaker 1: made talking about New England where the Bills will have

2238
01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:07,560
Speaker 1: to try to play good this week. That sounds like

2239
01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:10,080
Speaker 1: a coach that doesn't have confidence in this team. And

2240
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:14,040
Speaker 1: my next question is, why don't you utilizing Duke Williams.

2241
01:57:14,080 --> 01:57:17,160
Speaker 1: If John Brown's still injured or not playing one hundred percent,

2242
01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 1: that's a big man six three to twenty five. They

2243
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:24,200
Speaker 1: could be throwing screen passes out to signatary get a

2244
01:57:24,200 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 1: couple of guys out there ahead of them. Those could

2245
01:57:26,280 --> 01:57:30,640
Speaker 1: be big gainers down the field. Yeah, I respect what

2246
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:33,440
Speaker 1: you're saying, Mike with respect to Davil's comment, Just so

2247
01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, because Maddie and I hear him every week.

2248
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 1: In terms of addressing the media, he always plays things

2249
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:43,800
Speaker 1: very close to the vest, never wants to make any

2250
01:57:43,880 --> 01:57:46,800
Speaker 1: overstatements with what he thinks his offense is capable of.

2251
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 1: I think he says. I think his conversations with his

2252
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:52,440
Speaker 1: players are much different. In the meeting rooms, I'll just

2253
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 1: say that I would expect him to speak very confidently

2254
01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:58,440
Speaker 1: with his players, But in the media, I think he's

2255
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:02,320
Speaker 1: always concerned about eating any bulletin board material for any

2256
01:58:02,360 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 1: of the upcoming opponents, especially the one for whom he

2257
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:08,560
Speaker 1: previously worked, So I think that's why he was rather

2258
01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:12,600
Speaker 1: guarded in the comment that he made. But Maddie, why

2259
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 1: don't you take the Duke Williams question from him? I mean,

2260
01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:18,680
Speaker 1: first off, Dave All is a chill guy. He's not

2261
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:22,080
Speaker 1: He's not gonna go crazy about anything. He really never has,

2262
01:58:22,200 --> 01:58:24,480
Speaker 1: at least to the media. I'm sure it's a different

2263
01:58:24,520 --> 01:58:27,800
Speaker 1: story with his team. But Duke Williams, man, this guy

2264
01:58:27,880 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 1: is so great in practice. I think we've seen what

2265
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:33,280
Speaker 1: he's capable of in training camp and in practices, making

2266
01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:37,880
Speaker 1: crazy catches in the end zone. He's so fun to watch.

2267
01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:41,360
Speaker 1: But what did we see from him against the Texans.

2268
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 1: We saw that he dropped some balls when they needed

2269
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:47,640
Speaker 1: to rely on him. So I'm not sure Duke Williams

2270
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:50,200
Speaker 1: is your answer just yet. I think Duke Williams is

2271
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:52,760
Speaker 1: your answer when you have a couple more guys down

2272
01:58:52,760 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 1: and out and hopefully that doesn't happen. Yeah, ten targets

2273
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:57,880
Speaker 1: in that playoff game, he only caught five of them,

2274
01:58:57,880 --> 01:58:59,800
Speaker 1: and he had one right in his hands right before

2275
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:02,520
Speaker 1: halftime in the end zone and couldn't come up with it.

2276
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:05,520
Speaker 1: So I think it's a matter of consistency with Duke Williams.

2277
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:09,200
Speaker 1: And really, I know you're talking about size, but Gave

2278
01:59:09,320 --> 01:59:12,960
Speaker 1: Davis isn't a smurf. Gave Davis goes six two and

2279
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 1: about two fifteen, so he's not a small guy either,

2280
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 1: and he proved through training camp that he deserved to

2281
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:21,720
Speaker 1: be the fourth receiver in the rotation. And then you

2282
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 1: know you got Andre Roberts and Isaiah McKenzie after that.

2283
01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 1: So I think that's why he's found it difficult to

2284
01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:29,360
Speaker 1: get called up to the roster. Now. He was up

2285
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 1: last week as a practice squad call up, but you know,

2286
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:36,680
Speaker 1: he didn't really factor into the offense at all. He

2287
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,120
Speaker 1: was on special teams a little bit, but that was

2288
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:41,440
Speaker 1: about it. So he's just got to keep working and,

2289
01:59:41,520 --> 01:59:43,960
Speaker 1: as coach says, earned it every day in practice. We'll

2290
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:46,320
Speaker 1: see if he can change the conversation there. We have

2291
01:59:46,360 --> 01:59:47,960
Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we return, we'll get

2292
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 1: to a couple more of your phone calls. We'll hit

2293
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:52,280
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet and maybe a little NFL true false

2294
01:59:52,560 --> 01:59:54,680
Speaker 1: when Maddie and I return. Here on One Bill's Live

2295
01:59:54,760 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, this is Buffalo Bills Radio Final

2296
02:00:09,360 --> 02:00:11,400
Speaker 1: half hour of the program. Chris Brown had a glad

2297
02:00:11,440 --> 02:00:13,800
Speaker 1: with you here on a Tuesday edition to One Deals Live,

2298
02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:15,240
Speaker 1: and we do want to get right back to the

2299
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:18,920
Speaker 1: phones as we're talking about the magnitude of Sunday's game

2300
02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:21,120
Speaker 1: as it pertains to the division race, and whether you

2301
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:24,520
Speaker 1: think it's a must win or if you think there

2302
02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:28,520
Speaker 1: is some breathing room. I mean, heck, the Eagles have

2303
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:31,000
Speaker 1: a tie and that might give them a leg up

2304
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:34,800
Speaker 1: in their division. Nobody wants to tie though, Oh my gosh.

2305
02:00:34,800 --> 02:00:36,840
Speaker 1: But back to the phones at eight oh three, five

2306
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:40,480
Speaker 1: fifty to Dave in Hamburg, who joins us on the show. Now, Dave,

2307
02:00:40,520 --> 02:00:43,560
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Hi? Don't um that

2308
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:48,680
Speaker 1: question about the bells four and all? They had that

2309
02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:52,720
Speaker 1: question no one last week or a week before. It

2310
02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:57,800
Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety two nine, two, okay, time the one

2311
02:00:57,880 --> 02:01:00,160
Speaker 1: going started two and three. Well, thanks for help put

2312
02:01:00,200 --> 02:01:01,920
Speaker 1: us out, Dave. You saved us a lot of research time.

2313
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:05,480
Speaker 1: We have to trust you on that. They had that

2314
02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:08,400
Speaker 1: on two weeks ago. I think you might. I don't

2315
02:01:08,520 --> 02:01:11,720
Speaker 1: know you aren't, but uh, yeah, this was a must

2316
02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:15,760
Speaker 1: winning game against We got some tough uh we're all

2317
02:01:15,800 --> 02:01:18,520
Speaker 1: tough games. Coming up. Do you think, Dave that the

2318
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Patriots are pretty much on life support if the Bills

2319
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:24,760
Speaker 1: can hand them their fifth loss in seven games? Oh,

2320
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:28,960
Speaker 1: they're all done. Yeah, yeah, they're cooked. Okay, and the

2321
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Bills and all that for sure. Yeah, and we all

2322
02:01:31,640 --> 02:01:34,440
Speaker 1: in life support. Yeah, well yeah, we owe him a

2323
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:37,440
Speaker 1: lot of things. Uh. In my mind, they're still cheaters.

2324
02:01:37,520 --> 02:01:41,480
Speaker 1: But that's a whole other conversation. To have a good day, you, Maddie.

2325
02:01:41,560 --> 02:01:45,320
Speaker 1: All right? Thanks? Um, he thinks they're dead and buried

2326
02:01:45,320 --> 02:01:47,120
Speaker 1: if they lose this week. What do you think, Dang,

2327
02:01:47,800 --> 02:01:50,160
Speaker 1: I want to go that far? Or No? I like

2328
02:01:50,280 --> 02:01:51,840
Speaker 1: what he had to stay, But I don't know if

2329
02:01:51,880 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go that far yet. I mean, I think,

2330
02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:58,160
Speaker 1: come on, you're the eternal optimist here, I am, But

2331
02:01:58,360 --> 02:01:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to go as far

2332
02:01:59,880 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 1: as to say that they're dead. Yeah. I do think

2333
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:06,280
Speaker 1: it's going to be hard for them if they're handed

2334
02:02:06,320 --> 02:02:10,080
Speaker 1: their fourth straight loss, fifth on the season, with some

2335
02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:16,600
Speaker 1: good teams left to play, but crazier things have happened. No, No,

2336
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:19,640
Speaker 1: now you're starting to worry me. Back to the phones,

2337
02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:22,080
Speaker 1: we go to Todd in Buffalo at eight oh three

2338
02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:23,800
Speaker 1: oh five, fifty Todd, What do you have for us?

2339
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hey guys, thanks a lot. I

2340
02:02:26,720 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 1: actually have a question for you. The other night watching

2341
02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:33,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and Russell Wilson, they did a design run

2342
02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:35,560
Speaker 1: right up the middle of the field, right behind the center.

2343
02:02:36,040 --> 02:02:38,920
Speaker 1: Here's my question, Alan never does this. We never have

2344
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:41,680
Speaker 1: the center of the guard or rushing up the field.

2345
02:02:41,760 --> 02:02:45,000
Speaker 1: It's the exact same option with the back. He can

2346
02:02:45,040 --> 02:02:46,880
Speaker 1: give it to the back he runs. It's obviously a

2347
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:50,480
Speaker 1: designed play. Why I thought that was illegal to have

2348
02:02:50,720 --> 02:02:54,040
Speaker 1: a man at the second tier before the ball gets

2349
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:56,440
Speaker 1: before the ball gets down there with the quarterback. But

2350
02:02:56,600 --> 02:02:59,280
Speaker 1: Wilson does it. Obviously. I saw Wilson do it and

2351
02:02:59,320 --> 02:03:02,960
Speaker 1: he was actually running passed him the whole time. Is

2352
02:03:02,960 --> 02:03:05,120
Speaker 1: that something? Have you guys ever seen Josh run that?

2353
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:08,880
Speaker 1: And if not, well option for us? Yeah? I mean

2354
02:03:09,040 --> 02:03:11,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you recall last year, but coach

2355
02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Dable would call like a quarterback sweep where he would

2356
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:17,720
Speaker 1: have two or three linemen in front of him escorting

2357
02:03:17,760 --> 02:03:20,240
Speaker 1: him up off the edge. That was a play that

2358
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 1: they ran actually quite a few times in the Houston

2359
02:03:23,200 --> 02:03:26,080
Speaker 1: playoff game. They ran that about four times in that

2360
02:03:26,120 --> 02:03:30,920
Speaker 1: game with great success. Um. Yeah, I mean a legal

2361
02:03:30,920 --> 02:03:34,720
Speaker 1: man downfield is sometimes a penalty that you see, you know,

2362
02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:38,480
Speaker 1: but that's usually on a forward pass, when a forward

2363
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:40,800
Speaker 1: pass is thrown while a player who is ineligible to

2364
02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:43,800
Speaker 1: receive the pass is beyond the line of scrimmage. As

2365
02:03:43,840 --> 02:03:46,960
Speaker 1: far as I know, that doesn't apply to any play

2366
02:03:46,960 --> 02:03:49,840
Speaker 1: in the running game. So I think if that's what

2367
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:53,720
Speaker 1: you're crossed up on, I don't know. I just thought

2368
02:03:53,760 --> 02:03:56,080
Speaker 1: that when when the quarterback if he's if he's um,

2369
02:03:56,520 --> 02:03:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, if he's already dropped back seven yards snapped

2370
02:03:59,640 --> 02:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the ball, there's nobody over the center, there's nobody over

2371
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:05,320
Speaker 1: the guard. I never see our guards going downfield, and

2372
02:04:05,440 --> 02:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Josh will just run between them, which is awesome, and

2373
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:10,560
Speaker 1: it always picks up yards. Yeah, if our guys actually

2374
02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:12,400
Speaker 1: got to the second tier and hit the backers first,

2375
02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:14,600
Speaker 1: we'd be looking at, you know, forty fifty yard plays.

2376
02:04:14,640 --> 02:04:16,760
Speaker 1: I think it's just my two cents. I just thought

2377
02:04:16,760 --> 02:04:18,760
Speaker 1: it was interesting seeing Wilson do it the other night.

2378
02:04:19,080 --> 02:04:21,400
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying, Okay, yeah, no problem, Todd.

2379
02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Um Yeah, I mean I think with that you can

2380
02:04:25,240 --> 02:04:27,760
Speaker 1: say that, Yeah, send your lineman down field to block

2381
02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:31,240
Speaker 1: but if he's seven yards deep by the time he

2382
02:04:31,280 --> 02:04:33,160
Speaker 1: gets back to the line of scrimmage, that hole can

2383
02:04:33,160 --> 02:04:35,760
Speaker 1: close quite quickly. So I think you might want the

2384
02:04:35,800 --> 02:04:38,200
Speaker 1: lineman there to just keep that hole open and let

2385
02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:40,800
Speaker 1: him get beyond the line of scrimmage. So, I mean,

2386
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:43,520
Speaker 1: I know it's easy to see from up above on

2387
02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 1: that TV angle, but you know, Maddy's been down on

2388
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:48,840
Speaker 1: the field. I've been down on the field, you know,

2389
02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:54,040
Speaker 1: before games and even on occasion during games. Things things

2390
02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:57,960
Speaker 1: close quickly down there, and you get a full appreciation

2391
02:04:58,040 --> 02:05:00,000
Speaker 1: for it when it's right up next to you, because

2392
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:03,840
Speaker 1: is the speed at which these players move I don't

2393
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:06,960
Speaker 1: think can be captured from regular TV angles that people

2394
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:10,040
Speaker 1: watch at home. One thing that I can remember from

2395
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:12,440
Speaker 1: this past game against the Jets. This really doesn't have

2396
02:05:12,480 --> 02:05:14,480
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen run the ball. It's just the pocket

2397
02:05:14,520 --> 02:05:17,840
Speaker 1: closing quickly. Do you remember that play. I think they

2398
02:05:17,840 --> 02:05:21,440
Speaker 1: were in the red zone, Josh was being flushed out

2399
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:23,320
Speaker 1: of the pocket, and I think he shoved like a

2400
02:05:23,360 --> 02:05:26,520
Speaker 1: defensive lineman's head into the ground, a linebacker's head into

2401
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 1: the ground, just the way in the Jets game. Yeah,

2402
02:05:30,080 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember it. I don't think I'm not

2403
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:34,520
Speaker 1: recalling it right now. He like man handled two guys

2404
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:38,080
Speaker 1: on the Jets defense and I was like, oh gosh, Josh,

2405
02:05:38,120 --> 02:05:41,280
Speaker 1: you are a madman, but also like please protect the ball.

2406
02:05:41,320 --> 02:05:44,600
Speaker 1: But I mean, he had what sixty one rushing yards

2407
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:46,920
Speaker 1: in the game against the Jets, And we've talked about

2408
02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:52,080
Speaker 1: it at length this week already, just about yeah, you

2409
02:05:52,440 --> 02:05:55,120
Speaker 1: probably don't want him as you're leading rusher on this team.

2410
02:05:55,160 --> 02:05:58,839
Speaker 1: And Brian day Ball has talked about also about designed

2411
02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:02,400
Speaker 1: run for Josh of versus the option for Josh being

2412
02:06:02,400 --> 02:06:05,160
Speaker 1: able to take it when he sees it versus those

2413
02:06:05,200 --> 02:06:07,520
Speaker 1: design runs, And it seems like they're calling a little

2414
02:06:07,560 --> 02:06:10,120
Speaker 1: bit less of design runs for him, But that's just

2415
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:12,240
Speaker 1: because I think they also have more options on the

2416
02:06:12,280 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 1: field and they don't want to put his life on

2417
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:17,600
Speaker 1: the line to try and get a couple extra yards

2418
02:06:17,600 --> 02:06:20,200
Speaker 1: when you have other answers to get those couple extra

2419
02:06:20,280 --> 02:06:23,520
Speaker 1: yards on the field. Let's go to Tim in Dallas,

2420
02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:25,400
Speaker 1: who has a comment on what he thinks the new

2421
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:28,040
Speaker 1: England game plan is going to look like on Sunday. Tim,

2422
02:06:28,080 --> 02:06:32,440
Speaker 1: what do you have, sir? What was something evading nine yo?

2423
02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:36,200
Speaker 1: I think he should put nine man from up front

2424
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:39,400
Speaker 1: to stop this New England run attack. I think they're

2425
02:06:39,400 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 1: going to just power us, you know, So if I'm Frazier,

2426
02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:46,840
Speaker 1: that's what I would play. And course New England's offense

2427
02:06:46,920 --> 02:06:49,040
Speaker 1: to beat us in the air, which I help people

2428
02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:52,320
Speaker 1: who I'm not afraid of any diff receivers except Edelman

2429
02:06:52,440 --> 02:06:56,160
Speaker 1: in the slide. But that's my game plan. I just

2430
02:06:56,200 --> 02:06:59,200
Speaker 1: want to get your opinion on our deepens. What doeshould

2431
02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:01,680
Speaker 1: look like this? Yeah, I mean daring him to throw

2432
02:07:01,840 --> 02:07:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean that might sound crazy in year's past,

2433
02:07:04,680 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 1: but Cam Newton's not right, Mattie. We've seen it on

2434
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:11,200
Speaker 1: film the last three weeks. He is not right. That's clear.

2435
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 1: The receivers on the whole are having trouble gaining any

2436
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:21,000
Speaker 1: separation whatsoever. I mean, you look at the game book

2437
02:07:21,200 --> 02:07:23,000
Speaker 1: and I know, you know paper is different than what

2438
02:07:23,040 --> 02:07:24,440
Speaker 1: you see in the game, But you look at the

2439
02:07:24,480 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 1: game book for the Patriots game last week. Jacobe Myers

2440
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:30,840
Speaker 1: is a nice young receiver who's kind of coming along,

2441
02:07:30,880 --> 02:07:32,760
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton seems to have a measure of trust

2442
02:07:32,760 --> 02:07:35,520
Speaker 1: with him. He had four receptions for sixty yards last week,

2443
02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:38,400
Speaker 1: and he was the leading receiver for their team. The

2444
02:07:38,480 --> 02:07:41,320
Speaker 1: next leading receiver was Rex Burkhead out of the backfield

2445
02:07:41,960 --> 02:07:44,920
Speaker 1: three three catches for thirty five yards. There was, I mean,

2446
02:07:44,960 --> 02:07:47,839
Speaker 1: everybody else had one reception. Demere Bird the other receiver,

2447
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:50,960
Speaker 1: one for sixteen, Edelman one for thirteen. He was only

2448
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:55,520
Speaker 1: targeted three times in the game, three times. And then

2449
02:07:56,120 --> 02:07:59,080
Speaker 1: the other back, Damian Harris, one catch for twelve yards.

2450
02:07:59,320 --> 02:08:03,280
Speaker 1: And then it's it's a collection of backs and receivers

2451
02:08:03,320 --> 02:08:06,120
Speaker 1: who can't get open. I mean, Nakil Harry one catch

2452
02:08:06,200 --> 02:08:09,480
Speaker 1: six yards. He can't get open right now. So yeah,

2453
02:08:09,480 --> 02:08:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not opposed to Tim strategy. Maybe eight

2454
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:13,760
Speaker 1: in the box. I don't know if I'm ready to

2455
02:08:13,800 --> 02:08:15,720
Speaker 1: go nine. But eight in the box, daremm to throw

2456
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:19,160
Speaker 1: the football and see if Cam gives you a gift.

2457
02:08:19,240 --> 02:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't mind that at all. But the way that

2458
02:08:20,920 --> 02:08:25,680
Speaker 1: passing game is, I mean, it's dysfunctional. Right now. We

2459
02:08:25,800 --> 02:08:29,200
Speaker 1: saw this Bill's defense shut down Dereck Henry and shut

2460
02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:31,600
Speaker 1: down Josh Jacobs. I think they've shown that they can

2461
02:08:31,640 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 1: be successful when they're shutting down a premiere back in

2462
02:08:35,640 --> 02:08:40,040
Speaker 1: an offense. Let's remember the Rams game when they allowed

2463
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:43,200
Speaker 1: what was it, one hundred and sixty seven rushing yards.

2464
02:08:44,080 --> 02:08:47,360
Speaker 1: The Rams use several different backs. Henderson went off for

2465
02:08:47,480 --> 02:08:51,000
Speaker 1: a hundred yards in that game. I think with the

2466
02:08:51,040 --> 02:08:53,360
Speaker 1: Patriots it could kind of be like that. Yes, you

2467
02:08:53,400 --> 02:08:55,200
Speaker 1: have Cam Newton, you have Rex burg Head, you have

2468
02:08:55,280 --> 02:08:57,960
Speaker 1: Damien Harris. They've got a couple running backs that you're

2469
02:08:57,960 --> 02:08:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to shut down. There's not just one per

2470
02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:02,240
Speaker 1: year back like Derrick Henry or Josh Jacobs that you're

2471
02:09:02,280 --> 02:09:03,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to shut down. I don't think the Bills

2472
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:08,320
Speaker 1: have proven that you can shut down multiple running backs yet.

2473
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:11,880
Speaker 1: And of course in that Chief's game, they wanted them

2474
02:09:11,880 --> 02:09:14,240
Speaker 1: to run the ball because they didn't want Patrick Mahomes

2475
02:09:14,240 --> 02:09:16,480
Speaker 1: to air it out. But the Chiefs won that game.

2476
02:09:16,520 --> 02:09:18,240
Speaker 1: So you got to prove you can shut down multiple

2477
02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:20,520
Speaker 1: running backs. And maybe you're more apt to do that

2478
02:09:20,600 --> 02:09:23,040
Speaker 1: if you can get one of the more experienced corners

2479
02:09:23,080 --> 02:09:25,760
Speaker 1: back this week, whether it's Levi Wallace coming off ir

2480
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:28,760
Speaker 1: or Josh Norman back from the hamstring. If you can

2481
02:09:28,800 --> 02:09:30,480
Speaker 1: get one of those guys back, I think you feel

2482
02:09:30,520 --> 02:09:33,080
Speaker 1: more comfortable about putting it in the box and daring

2483
02:09:33,120 --> 02:09:35,000
Speaker 1: them to throw. If you got to still put a

2484
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:38,000
Speaker 1: rookie out there like Dane Jackson despite his very encouraging

2485
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:41,480
Speaker 1: performance last week. I don't know how you feel about that.

2486
02:09:41,520 --> 02:09:43,760
Speaker 1: Maybe you feel a little bit less confident just because

2487
02:09:43,840 --> 02:09:46,920
Speaker 1: from an experienced factor, you know Dane, they might get

2488
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:48,880
Speaker 1: they might decide to target him, or what have you.

2489
02:09:49,360 --> 02:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Before we go to break, we have to bring you

2490
02:09:52,040 --> 02:09:56,120
Speaker 1: New York Lotteries inside the numbers. Play the limited edition

2491
02:09:56,160 --> 02:09:58,240
Speaker 1: New York Series scratch off game. You could catch up

2492
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:00,240
Speaker 1: to one million dollars. You have to be eighteen year

2493
02:10:00,040 --> 02:10:03,240
Speaker 1: year old older to purchase a lottery ticket. The Bills

2494
02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:08,120
Speaker 1: became the first NFL team since nineteen forty to win

2495
02:10:08,200 --> 02:10:10,840
Speaker 1: without a punt or a touchdown. Sundays win against the

2496
02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Jets marked the fourth game in franchise history in which

2497
02:10:13,120 --> 02:10:15,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo did not punt in a game. It was also

2498
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:19,720
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott's thirtieth win in his Bill's career

2499
02:10:19,760 --> 02:10:23,280
Speaker 1: as head coach, breaking a tie with Wade Phillips for

2500
02:10:23,320 --> 02:10:26,080
Speaker 1: fourth on the club's all time list. McDermott now just

2501
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:29,240
Speaker 1: needs seven more wins to pass Chuck Knox, who's third

2502
02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:33,960
Speaker 1: on the Bill's head coaching wins list with thirty seven victories.

2503
02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:36,000
Speaker 1: We have to take a break, but when Mattie and

2504
02:10:36,040 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 1: I return, It's time for what have we learned? On

2505
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:41,560
Speaker 1: the show? As we close up a Tuesday edition of

2506
02:10:41,560 --> 02:10:44,440
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, This is Buffalo

2507
02:10:44,440 --> 02:11:02,240
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Have we learned? Raw to buy? Skyworks, the

2508
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:06,120
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills, had

2509
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:10,920
Speaker 1: our weekly visit from Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt, who

2510
02:11:11,120 --> 02:11:15,200
Speaker 1: had his take on the possible reason for Cam Newton's

2511
02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:19,160
Speaker 1: recent struggles on the field. I'm trying to figure it out,

2512
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:21,080
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to do it respectfully. I'm not a

2513
02:11:21,120 --> 02:11:24,440
Speaker 1: sports therapist. I'm not a psychiatrist or a doctor, but

2514
02:11:24,480 --> 02:11:28,200
Speaker 1: I know Cam Newton's game really well, and it's he

2515
02:11:28,280 --> 02:11:30,600
Speaker 1: has nothing right now? And what do I mean by that?

2516
02:11:31,200 --> 02:11:34,040
Speaker 1: If he checks out he's physically healthy, The doctors say

2517
02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:36,080
Speaker 1: he's fine. He doesn't have a solder problem, he doesn't

2518
02:11:36,080 --> 02:11:39,040
Speaker 1: have a back problem. To me, he looks like he

2519
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:41,800
Speaker 1: has a psychological problem, because this dude came back from

2520
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:44,360
Speaker 1: being on the COVID nineteen list, missed a couple of

2521
02:11:44,400 --> 02:11:49,120
Speaker 1: weeks and almost has a chuck knob block like Yips

2522
02:11:49,160 --> 02:11:52,680
Speaker 1: throwing the football to me having watched him for years.

2523
02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't recognize this athlete. I don't recognize this person

2524
02:11:56,800 --> 02:11:59,240
Speaker 1: not only in his body language on the field, but

2525
02:11:59,320 --> 02:12:02,240
Speaker 1: off the field. He comments where he talked about when

2526
02:12:02,240 --> 02:12:05,480
Speaker 1: he found out that his teammates to find Gilmour had

2527
02:12:05,640 --> 02:12:09,520
Speaker 1: tested positive, that it was Cam's nightmare that he felt

2528
02:12:09,560 --> 02:12:13,920
Speaker 1: like he might have been responsible for that. It's it's

2529
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:15,919
Speaker 1: going to be something that is going to be headline

2530
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:19,000
Speaker 1: news all week this week. Where is Cam's head at

2531
02:12:19,520 --> 02:12:22,320
Speaker 1: and is he going to be able to get back

2532
02:12:22,360 --> 02:12:25,840
Speaker 1: to the kind of dynamic athletic player that he is.

2533
02:12:26,360 --> 02:12:29,440
Speaker 1: Obviously Bill's fans are hoping that doesn't happen this week.

2534
02:12:29,520 --> 02:12:32,000
Speaker 1: It can wait another week as far as we're all concerned.

2535
02:12:32,480 --> 02:12:35,440
Speaker 1: But it's in a way you kind of feel for

2536
02:12:35,480 --> 02:12:38,720
Speaker 1: the guy. It's like, man, this is tough to watch. Yeah,

2537
02:12:38,760 --> 02:12:40,640
Speaker 1: that's what I was going to say. It can wait

2538
02:12:40,720 --> 02:12:43,640
Speaker 1: another week. It can, but you have to feel bad

2539
02:12:43,680 --> 02:12:46,000
Speaker 1: for an athlete who's going through something like that, where

2540
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:48,040
Speaker 1: it could it could be a mental thing, or it

2541
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:50,080
Speaker 1: could be just he's stuck in his own head. I mean,

2542
02:12:50,120 --> 02:12:52,400
Speaker 1: you want to see athletes compete at the highest level.

2543
02:12:52,640 --> 02:12:54,640
Speaker 1: You don't want to see them being held back by

2544
02:12:54,680 --> 02:12:58,720
Speaker 1: something within them. And I know the question was raised

2545
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:02,760
Speaker 1: of coach Belichick, you know, brain fog question, having dealt

2546
02:13:02,800 --> 02:13:06,800
Speaker 1: with COVID and fortunately he recovered from it, but is

2547
02:13:06,840 --> 02:13:09,640
Speaker 1: he possibly suffering from this brain fog that we hear

2548
02:13:09,680 --> 02:13:12,320
Speaker 1: the people who get COVID some of them suffer with

2549
02:13:12,360 --> 02:13:15,520
Speaker 1: it after they've recovered, where they can't concentrate, they have

2550
02:13:15,560 --> 02:13:18,480
Speaker 1: trouble with their focus. Can you imagine trying to go

2551
02:13:18,520 --> 02:13:20,760
Speaker 1: out and play quarterback if you're suffering from that with

2552
02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:22,680
Speaker 1: all the things you have to think about pre snap,

2553
02:13:22,680 --> 02:13:25,400
Speaker 1: post snap and reading a defense? My god, I can't

2554
02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:28,280
Speaker 1: even imagine. No, that would be close to impossible. I

2555
02:13:28,320 --> 02:13:30,400
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes it's just hard enough for me to

2556
02:13:30,440 --> 02:13:32,800
Speaker 1: get through a day without any brain fog. I can't

2557
02:13:32,840 --> 02:13:36,360
Speaker 1: imagine what it's like to be a quarterback, just completely healthy,

2558
02:13:36,440 --> 02:13:39,480
Speaker 1: but recovering from COVID. Yeah, not a place that I

2559
02:13:39,520 --> 02:13:42,080
Speaker 1: want to be in. Well, that's gonna just about do it.

2560
02:13:42,160 --> 02:13:45,080
Speaker 1: For a Tuesday edition of One Bill's Live, Maddie, thanks

2561
02:13:45,120 --> 02:13:47,280
Speaker 1: again for helping us out here today. Glad to have

2562
02:13:47,360 --> 02:13:50,200
Speaker 1: you with us. You'll be back with us for about

2563
02:13:50,280 --> 02:13:52,720
Speaker 1: half the show tomorrow. As we kind of fit this

2564
02:13:52,800 --> 02:13:55,720
Speaker 1: thing together like a bunch of puzzle pieces. We'll bring

2565
02:13:55,760 --> 02:13:58,600
