Speaker 2: home from work yesterday and I'm just I needed to

6
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: rest my creative side of my brain. I was fried

7
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: by the time I was leaving yesterday. Yeah, you know,

8
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: because we put podcast scripts together and do all these

9
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: different things.

10
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,160

00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: Using the creative side of your brain a lot.

13
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 4: You know.

14
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: I was like, I got to unplug here, So I

15
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: use the drive home to kind of do that and unwind,

16
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: and then I had to do a little more work

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: when I got home. But I just needed a break.

18
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: So I put on my Spotify playlist and I would say,

19
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: between the time I leave here and the time I

20
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 2: get home, it's probably about seven songs and I'm home,

21
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: it's not it's not along. It's like twenty twenty five

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: minute commute, right. So Spotify is churning out bangers like

23
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: I am, like, you know, on my I have like

24
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: twelve hundred songs on my playlist. So they're not all

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: like my all timers. You know, there's other stuff in

26
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: there that I like and enjoy, but you know, I'm

27
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: not going, oh yeah, like you know what I mean,

28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: I get it. Three of the seven songs are like

29
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: Van Halen bangers, you know, like, Okay, Soot, it's unchained,

30
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,000

31
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: top group. So unchained out of the shoot. And so

32
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, we're off to a good start

33
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: on the way home here. And then there were you know,

34
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: a couple Then another group plays third song, Top of

35
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: the World, off of the for Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album

36
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: with Sammy. I'm rocking out to that, and then I'm

37
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: I'm like five minutes from the house and on comes

38
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Best of Both Worlds from the fifty one to fifty albums.

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: So I am just jamming, like and I get I

40
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: pull into the garage and I'm like, we're finishing this one, right,

41
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit in the car.

42
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: That's a guy thing. Guys do that.

43
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: Yet my wife opens the mudroom door, She's like, what's

44
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: going on at it? And I'm just like rocking, and

45
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: so She's like, oh, okay, like she's seen this before, right, Okay.

46
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: So I didn't think anything of it. But I was

47
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: just like, wow, like three Van Halen songs and seven

48
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: tracks like on Spotify shuffle, you know, so I'm not

49
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: paying for premium. I didn't think anything of it. So

50
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: I'm on my phone while I'm watching the Yankees Blue

51
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: Jays game last night, and I see yesterday was the

52
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: fifth anniversary of Ed's passing, Eddie Van Halen passing, and

53
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: I was like, coincidence, I think, not the cosmic forces

54
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: you yes, No, that's awesome. So then I was texting

55
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: my high school buddies, who were all big VH fans.

56
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

57
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: I just thought it was really cool. So then I

58
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: throw my Spotify on again during a dead point when

59
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: I was making dinner, and I got three Van Halen

60
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: songs in a row. But then my wife reminded me.

61
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: She's like, well, you kind of texted a v and

62
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: Eddie's passing tweet on social media to your buddies your

63
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: phones listening, so that's probably why you got three. I

64
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: was like three in a row though, like algorithm on

65
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: a shuffle, but she goes, yeah, that's all algorithm. But

66
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: the ride home, I didn't say anything to anybody because

67
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: I was unaware. So I'm I'm giving that one to Ed.

68
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: There you go. Well, good for you. Yeah, that's uh.

69
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: That's a that reminds you of where you are at

70
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: a certain point in your life when.

71
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: You yeah, your childhood and past. Yet still there's a.

72
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: Ton of but yeah, yeah, that's uh, that's good. That's good.

73
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 6: Though.

74
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: It was cool. It makes you it was kind of cool.

75
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: It makes you understand realize when you put that positive

76
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: stuff out and sometimes it echoes back to you.

77
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: I have a black and white photo that I, you know,

78
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: lifted from somewhere of It's a black and white photo

79
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: of Ed sitting behind a soundboard, you know, in a

80
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: music studio, clearly, and he's holding up a sign that

81
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: basically as I will always be with you, just push play,

82
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: which is kind of It's like, it means a lot poignant.

83
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: It means a much different thing now than when he

84
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: took the photo.

85
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: But a little poignant.

86
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: But it was kind of cool.

87
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's nice.

88
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: It was a nice little Yeah, it's nice when the

89
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: you'm not a warm and fuzzy person because.

90
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: Life is hard. We all know that for all of us,

91
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: and even those who like me who've been gifted so much,

92
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: every once in a while, it's nice to know that

93
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: once in a while, the ball bounces your way.

94
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: The forces of nature, that's right, fall in your face

95
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: every once in a while, and that's a little thing.

96
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: But for me, I'll take it. It's real though, right Yeah,

97
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: So I just I'm totally with I was tickled by that.

98
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: It was kind of cool. I'm glad to hear you

99
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: had one of those the forces aligned, so, I don't know,

100

Speaker 3: well this is an eight or nine year same way.

127
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: So those guys, when you get longer in your career,

128
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: Thursdays kind of the day you start to bounce back

129
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: instead of Tuesday.

130
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

131
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: Right, So these guys are the conversations they were having

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: about the you know, the schedule for the week.

133
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: It's like it's just that extra day counts a lot,

134
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: helps a lot.

135
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: It really does. It really does. So I was listening

136
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: to those guys getting a kick out of them being old.

137
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: But commisery to me.

138
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: Seeing these young guys being old guys. Yeah it was.

139
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: It was a nice reminder of you know, the world

140
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: still turns. Yeah.

141
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: So, just a closed walkthrough today for the Bills as

142
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: their practice schedule, as we said, move back a day

143
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: because it's in Atlanta on Monday night. Full scale practice

144
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: set for Thursday as well as Friday, and that Thursday

145
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: will actually be the first injury report day as well,

146
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: I believe, so we'll be looking to see tomorrow if

147
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: Ed Oliver is a full practice participant, as he's been

148
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: out since Week one with the ankle injury, but did

149
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: return to the practice setting last week on a limited basis.

150
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: Other injured players of note include Dorian Williams and TJ. Sanders,

151
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: who both missed last week's game, and Connor McGovern, who

152
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: came out of last week's game with a hand injury.

153
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: His hand looked like a mushroom by the time the

154
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: game was over, just swelled up like a grapefruit. So

155
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: hopefully he's good to play on Monday night as well.

156
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: And I guess Steve those would qualify as practice updates.

157

00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: I remember what those days are like.

169
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when you were flying everywhere.

170
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 3: When I was flying every week, man, I was there.

171
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: We were racking up the point they were like, hey,

172
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: welcome aboy, welcome back.

173
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: Stick you back, Steve. Yeah, where are we going this?

174
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: Wee first I was CBS first class. Let's go. And

175
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: I'll be saying I tell this to everybody. Nobody believes me.

176
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: It's true. I traveled. Think about this, everybody. A lot

177
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: of people have area traveled, right, I mean, it's a

178
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: thing with Americans. We do that, right. So I'm flying

179
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: and I'm flying on Delta a lot, so picture this.

180
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: It could not be easier. In the early in the morning,

181
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: like before light, I have to leave early on a Friday.

182
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 3: I go out my door. There is a guy in

183
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: my driveway waiting for me. Engine running, heystrets, grabs my

184
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: grabs my roller bag, puts it in the back of it.

185
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: I'm like walking twenty five feet from my front door.

186
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: We drive to the airport. He drives me right to

187
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: the door. I get out, I walk through it and

188
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I'm clear TSA TSC on. They they

189
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,280

00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: you're the get to my flight, I'm the first class.

191
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 3: I mean, it couldn't be. I get off the plane

192
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: at whatever destination it is, and there's another guy with

193
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: a sign. Right, I'm one of those guys. Right. We

194
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: walk right out. He's like opening the door. And it

195
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: couldn't be easier to let me tell you that, after

196
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: all of that, I.

197
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: Hate traveling well because it's not nearly I.

198
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: Hate I hated it then I hate it.

199
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: Now and it's not nearly as convence.

200
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: Do you not think, do not think it's glamorous having

201
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: a No, don't even think all that. It makes no difference.

202
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 3: So now I'm perfectly happy to sit in ROD twenty

203
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: seven in the middle, which is where I was last weekend.

204
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 3: I don't care. It's all cuddy. I hate traveling. I

205
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 3: had it as good as anybody went, and I hated it.

206
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: It's no fun, so I don't pay the extra money.

207
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: It's a lift. I'll say that I had it better.

208
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: Than anybody and I hated it. It's just come on,

209
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: it's nothing makes it good.

210
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: On that note, let's go around the NFL presented by

211
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: Kaleida Health.

212
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: Thank you for Delta for Yeah, the.

213
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: Official healthcare system.

214
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,119
Speaker 3: Of I do use their services.

215
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's status looks to be in doubt

216
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: for this Sunday, as he's trying to recover from a

217
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: hamstring injury miss last week's thirty four point loss to Houston.

218
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: Baltimore plays host to the Rams this weekend.

219
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: I gotta ask you think about this because we I

220
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: know Bill's fans have this ongoing conversation between Josh and Lamar.

221
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: You know it's always this If these guys are MVP

222
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: caliber players, and Baltimore fans pump Lamar up and Bill's

223
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: fans trumpet Josh up. You know the whole thing. I

224
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: gotta say, Suffering a loss the way the Ravens did

225
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: without Lamar tells you a lot about how valuable that

226
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 3: guy is. It's not just Lamar, it's not just Lamar.

227
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: It's a lot of but a guy like Lamar, you

228
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: gotta think maybe it's maybe it doesn't know, don't That's right,

229
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: it's true. But man, don't ever forget how good that

230
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: guy is and what he means to that. And I'll

231
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: say this to me from this from back here. It

232
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 3: also meant something emotionally to them because they got curb stomped.

233
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: You never see the Ravens get curb stumped if Lamar

234
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: takes snaps. And that's so as as as big a

235
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: conversation it is between Bill's fans, Ravens and Chiefs fans

236
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: and Mahomes fans and Borough fans and all those quarterback

237
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 3: guys and Stafford they're playing this week. The proof is

238
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: in the pudding.

239
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: Oh I've got I've got a stat for you at

240
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: the end of around the NFL that you're going to enjoy.

241
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: Let's see, I'll get it to it. We'll get to it.

242
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: The Ravens also executed a trade with the Chargers. Former

243
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: assistant Ravens GM Joe Hortes called his former boss Da

244
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: Costa and Eric da Costa and said, hey, uh, you

245
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: need some help. We need some help. What do we

246
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: want to do? They sent? So the Ravens send pass

247
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: rusher out of Fayo Way to Los Angeles because they

248
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: don't have Khalil Mack for the foreseeable future, in exchange

249
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: for safety Alohi Gilman in a player for players swap.

250
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: Baltimore's entire secondary has been ravaged by injury, so they

251
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: need some help on the back end, so they sent

252
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: a pass rusher to the Chargers and bing Bang boom

253
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: player for players swap. We'll see who benefits from that

254
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: the most. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray dealing with a

255
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: foot injury. Not expected to practice today, so we'll have

256
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: to see where that goes. The rest of the week,

257
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: Cardinals are playing the Colts in Indianapolis. The four and

258
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: one Colts. By the way, Speaking of the Colts, they

259
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: have some injuries at the linebacker position, so they're signing

260
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: veteran free agent Germaine Pratt to a one year deal.

261
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: Pratt is now going to be reunited with his former

262
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator in Cincinnati in Indy because lou Anarumo is

263
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator for the Colts now Giants. Wide receiver

264
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: Darius Slayton has a hamstring injury. Not expected to play

265
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: Thursday against the Eagles. That's a tough turnaround for a

266
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: hamstring injury four days. It's just not going to happen

267
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: because it's Eagles Giants on Thursday Night football this week.

268
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: Jets are going to be without their nickel corner on

269
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Broncos in London. Michael Carter is in

270
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: concussion protocol. Wide receiver Alan Lazard also not going to

271
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: play for the Jets due to personal reasons. He's not

272
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: even making the trip. The NFL is not going to

273
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: take action against Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon, who was fined

274
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: one hundred K by his own team for his sideline

275
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: interaction with running back a Mari de Mercado on Sunday.

276
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: As we told you yesterday, de Mercado the latest to

277
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: flub a touchdown by letting go of the football and

278
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: dropping it before he crosses the goal line in what

279
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: would have been a game winning score. Meanwhile, Titans come

280
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: down the other way, score a touchdown and basically kick.

281
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: I think they kicked a game winning field goal at

282
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: the end to win twenty two to twenty one because

283
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: that touchdown didn't count.

284
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: Wow.

285
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: The league issued a statement saying we have been in

286
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: contact with the NFL Players Association and the Arizona Cardinals,

287
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: which addressed the matter. There is no further action to

288
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: come from the league. Gannon got in Mercado de Mercado's face,

289
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: basically dressed him down, and then bumped his arm like violently. Now,

290
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: it's been interesting that some players out there, former players,

291
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: most notably, said it, you' all need to deal with

292
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: some stuff. You guys are soft. You screw up a

293
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: game like that, you deserve to get shooed out by

294
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: your coach.

295
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: I gotta say that's where my heart went right away.

296
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, that's a dumb play. I'll say

297
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: it's the players. There should have been some players as well,

298
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: but it's I'll say it is poor leadership. It's not

299
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: good leadership. That's all. You can say about Yeah, it's

300
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: poor leadership.

301
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: And he acknowledged that the next day at his Monday

302
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: press conference again and did For what it's worth, here

303
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: is the crazy stat Steve and I got to credit

304
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: at the Associated Press for this one, because they dug

305
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: it up. This past weekend was the first time I'm

306
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the Bills, and the Ravens all lost in

307
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 2: the same week since Week nine of the twenty seventeen season,

308
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: when Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson were still in college

309
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: and Patrick Mahomes hadn't taken a single snap yet because

310
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: he was the backup to Alex Smith in Kansas City.

311
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 3: Is that nuts that it's been a minute.

312
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: All three teams lost for the first time in.

313
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: The same weeks. Yeah, in eight years, they're tough to beat. Man,

314
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: we know it, hol did you Crow? This just came

315
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 3: over the wire as well. About another quarterback. Guess who's

316
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: going to be the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals

317
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: this weekend, Mister Joe Flacco.

318
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: I didn't think he's gonna have to BACKO, but then

319
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 2: I read he's already played the Packers once this season

320
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: and beat him.

321
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: Right. Zach Taylor said he's gonna He will in fact

322
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: start this Sunday against the Packers. He will take all

323
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: the reps. Get ready to go.

324
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for coming. Jake Browning. Your your tenure lasted three games?

325
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: Three games?

326
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there you go.

327
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 2: Uh So that is around the NFL, presented by Kaleida

328
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: Health Official.

329
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: Health, Jake Browni's well, Jake Browne and Zach Taylor's defense

330
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: the head coach of the Bengals. It's not just about

331
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 3: how he played, it's about how he's Is he getting

332
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: better in practice? He's getting better. It means he is

333
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: he getting is he progressing? And he's not. He's turning

334
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 3: it over too much, and that's just a crusher.

335
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm kind of curious to see. I want to

336
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: look for his exact stats here, so let me just

337
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: pull him up really quick. Jake Browning this year, four

338
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: games his well, he came in in the game in

339
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: which Burl got hurt, and then it started the next

340
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: three after that. So he's zero in three sixty four

341
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: and a half percent completion percentage, six touchdowns, eight picks,

342
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: forty eight point two passer rating.

343
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah they had Nah, that one hurts. I gotta tell

344
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: I gotta say that, And I get it. You want

345
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 3: to win the games, you gotta try and win the

346
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: games you lose, Joe Burrow, even your most ardent critic

347
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: has got to give you a little bit of a

348
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: pass on what your season's gonna look like the rest

349
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: of the way. And I'm sure they that most of

350
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: their critics have. But now it's it must be so

351
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: bad even internally.

352
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: Well, he's oh and three as a starter. They were

353
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: two Bengals are now two and three.

354
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were two and oh when he took over.

355
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: So I get all of that.

356
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna get better. I get

357
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: right with Flacco like and I maybe they're Flaco will

358
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: make you marginally better.

359
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: You've gotta you've gotta at least look like you're making

360
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 3: I'll say this for the Bengals, it hasn't always been

361
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 3: that way.

362
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: I mean, at Green Bay, that's not a picnic.

363
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 3: They have not always made a token effort even to

364
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: get better during season, right, They've been very reticent to

365
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: do things that their fans clamor for the league, the

366
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: media clamors for them to do. They've been no. And

367
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: historically it has been because well, Finger quotes, you're too

368
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: cheap to even by a backup quarterback from another team,

369
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 3: or go out and do it because oh yeah, this

370
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 3: is something the Bengals have never done in the past.

371
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna do it, and we're gonna do the trade

372
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 2: with Cleveland. Right, You're a most hated team, that's right.

373
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: I gotta say, past six to eight months, the Bengals

374
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: have done a couple of things, mostly signing guys, paying

375
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: guys money, and they have done some things that historically

376
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: people have criticized them for not doing. This would be

377
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: another one. Now, this is now. This is like pouring

378
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: a cup of water on a bonfire.

379
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: But and I will and I will say, may a

380
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: culpa because I didn't think they'd get a fifth round

381
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 2: pick for him, and they did. They had to give

382
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: up a six to do it. But the Brown's got

383
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: a five for him, So whatever, have fun with it.

384
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: So I'm I've been maybe the first guy in line to,

385
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: you know, dump on the Cincinnati Bengals because of their

386
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 3: history and how they've done things. But I gotta admit,

387
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: it looks like they've got a pulse above the football operation,

388
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 3: you know, the ownership. It looks like they're like, you

389
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 3: know what, we need to do something. Come on, let's

390
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 3: do something. And Joe Flacco is not a laughable solution.

391
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 3: It's not nothing. So good for.

392
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: Them, you know, do you want to know what?

393
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: I pour gas on their season going up in flames.

394
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 3: But I got to say, you know what, they're doing something.

395
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 3: You know they're not Dallas. If you had to get,

396
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 3: they're not trading.

397
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: If you had to get, if you had to guess, Steve,

398
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: you had to guess. Go ahead, What do you think

399
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: the spread is for Bengals Packers in Green Bay? And

400
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: this is post Flacco trade? What do you think the

401
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: spread is.

402
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 3: Ten and a half? It's more thirteen and a half,

403
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: it's more fifteen and a half.

404
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: Sixteen and a Half's fourteen and thirteen and a half?

405
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, fourteen and a half.

406
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: That's a fat number.

407
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: See, so they're putting it at fourteen. It's two score

408
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 3: for two full touchdowns.

409
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: Basically, Vegas is saying, please bet on the Bengals, Please take.

410
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: The points they think the I don't know if the

411
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 3: Bengals that's a good that's a good spot because that's

412
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: right where you're sitting, right, I mean, you're sitting flak.

413
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 3: They're banking on the knowledge that Flacco has beaten the

414
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: Packers already this year with.

415
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: I would venture to get that. Most gamblers would not

416
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 2: know that though.

417
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: The early money. No, nobody knows that. But if you

418
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 3: sit there and the general public, no, don't care, don't know,

419
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: they just know what the lead they're talking about. Their

420
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: painting with a broad brush. Gamblers think about that stuff. Also,

421
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: Cleveland has stellar defense.

422
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: They do, but they're not playing Cleveland.

423
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: They're playing Cincinnati, don't Yeah, But Cincinnati, with Joe Flacco

424
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 3: and those receivers, they may be able to put some

425
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 3: they may be able to throw some big plays up.

426
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: We'll see.

427
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: That's the balancing. It's gonna be a vastly different game

428
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: than the Cleveland Batpackers game. This Cincinnati Packers game.

429
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: Mikah Parsons against the quarterback where you know he's gonna

430
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: be on every snap. I don't like it.

431
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: Cincinnati doesn't have a really good offensive line either.

432
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't like it. Yeah, I don't off Joe finishes.

433
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, wouldn't that.

434
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: Be he doesn't move? Yeah, he's a statue.

435
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

436
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean, look, guys had a great career. But I

437
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: don't know. We have to share with you the topic

438
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: of discussion today, which is as follows, which Bills player

439
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: do you expect to emerge Monday night at the Falcons.

440
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: I have a couple of thoughts in mind, but I

441
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: will withhold those for now because we need your players

442
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: that you think are going to emerge Monday night for

443
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: the Bills at the Falcons. Eight oh three oh five

444
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: point fifty one eighty eight, five point fifty two, five

445
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: point fifty those are the numbers to jump on board

446
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: with us, and we do have open lines for you

447
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,240

465
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: from the Bills. You're here and now lo and behold.

466
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: Week five comes along and you're on the active roster,

467
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: like what was last week?

468
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 5: Like?

469
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: In light of all that you had to kind of

470
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: make your way through adversity wise over the last calendar year.

471
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 6: It was absolutely amazing.

472
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 8: I mean everything I could have hoped and dreamed of

473
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 8: for my first NFL game ever since I decided that

474
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 8: this was what I wanted to chase after. It wasn't

475
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 8: really until late in my football career, my senior year

476
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 8: that Army that I decided. You know, maybe I got

477
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 8: a shout at this, but ever since that day I decided,

478
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 8: I had some friends talked me into it.

479
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 6: They said, hey, you could really do it.

480
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 8: I was just like I just want to get on

481
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 8: the field for one Yeah, And that was really the

482
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 8: first mile. So when I was after, I was like,

483
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 8: I just want to get on the field.

484
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 6: For one game.

485
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 8: And and and the atmosphere was amazing. I mean, there's

486
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 8: no place there's no place like this. Really, I've never

487
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 8: seen anything like it. So, like, the community is amazing.

488
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 8: And so again I'll say, it's so excited to be

489
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 8: out there with those guys I saw for the first

490
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 8: first few weeks, just being on the sideline, you just

491
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 8: want you.

492
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 6: Just what's that.

493
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 3: It's a good team to be on, an amazing.

494
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 6: Team to be on.

495
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 8: But but but when you're on the sideline and you

496
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 8: see everyone everyone's got their jersey there in their locker,

497
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 8: You're like, man, I want to be involved in that.

498
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 6: I'm so bad.

499
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 8: You yearned for it because it's it's it's it's like

500
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 8: a family here, Like the culture just drives you to

501
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 8: want to do more for each other, and so so

502
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 8: to have that first opportunity was amazing.

503
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 6: Honestly, I would wish we came out with the win,

504
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 6: but I was I.

505
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: Was gonna say that sounds a lot like military culture,

506
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: would you, like, you know, it's it's selfless, Like do

507
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: you feel it selfless here? Like with the culture here too.

508
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 6: Absolutely extent.

509
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 8: I mean, like to start with, one thing that I

510
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 8: see a lot of parallels with is the leadership coaching

511
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 8: staff Coach McDermott and our coordinators, our position coaches, and

512
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 8: then the player leadership.

513
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 6: It's it's it's unmatched.

514
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 8: I mean, I hadn't seen it at this level, but

515
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 8: I see a lot of parallels to what I experienced

516
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 8: in college. And yeah, I think leadership is really the

517
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 8: biggest one. And but that's what drives the culture. And

518
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 8: and they've done an amazing job here so far of

519
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 8: what I've seen. And you know, every player doesn't want

520
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 8: to leave here because they love it. And players that

521
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 8: have left him come back, you know, they just you know,

522
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 8: speak to speaks volumes to you know what type of

523
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 8: place this is.

524
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: We got a chance to get to know you a

525
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 3: little bit on the Hard Knocks series and stuff. How

526
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 3: do you have anybody in the stands? You have? How

527
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: many tickets you have to get?

528
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 6: I didn't.

529
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 8: I didn't have anybody up for this game, just because

530
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 8: I found out kind of later in the week. Yeah,

531
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 8: and I so I didn't get those tickets in for

532
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 8: my dad, but he was watching at home.

533
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 6: He was watching at home and I'll get him up

534
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 6: here for Yeah.

535
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: He kind of became a little celebrity of his own,

536
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, signed for some of those episodes. What

537
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 2: has been what has been the feedback in the neighborhood

538
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: for Dad, because I imagine he's a he's a local

539
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: celebrity on the block.

540
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 6: Now, oh man, Yeah, everybody loves it. Everybody loves it.

541
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 8: My friends will call me and then they'll call him

542
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 8: and they'll bust on him and you know, make jokes,

543
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 8: mostly jokes about his beard because he.

544
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 6: Didn't know his have a beer that way. Oh okay, Yeah,

545
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 6: he's he has. He's become a little bit of a

546
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 6: local celebrity.

547
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 8: But you know, he loves it and at the end

548
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 8: of the day, he he really just wants what's best

549
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 8: for me.

550
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: What was the what was the vibe? I know, it's

551
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: you know, it's tough to take a loss, but that

552
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: it's been over the course you you haven't been here

553
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: that long, but over the course of you know, Josh's cruse,

554
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: Sean mcdermot's career. Losses come like that, they're close, No,

555
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: you know, very difficult to beat this team by more

556
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: than one possession. You knew it was going to be

557
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 3: a tight game, a division game. What's been you know,

558
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: the aftermath of that, the message the coaches brought to

559
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: the players, and also now you're starting to turn the

560
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: page and you're you know, you got your eyes on Atlanta.

561
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean coach McDermott said it best after the

562
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 8: game and he said, you know, the good teams will

563
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 8: allow us to be a learning experience and you know losses.

564
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 8: Losses are inevitable in the game. You know at some

565
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 8: point they're gonna come. And it's you know, what can

566
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 8: you take from that? It's not let's let this collapse

567
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 8: our team over the course of the next few weeks,

568
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 8: because you see teams getting a rut and then that

569
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 8: kind of kind of down phase over the next few weeks.

570
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 8: So how can we pick that up, turn it around

571
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 8: and get back on track to where we were?

572
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 6: And you know the first the first few weeks there.

573
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: You're a factor on special teams obviously, and you know

574
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: we saw some of your exploits in the preseason, you

575
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: know where you showed up a few times. I'm wondering,

576
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: like just the transition the last two years from college,

577
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: you know, and I don't even know if you played

578
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: on special teams at Army all that much. You were

579
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: a defensive starter. But obviously kickoff coverage is different in

580
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: this league with the changes they've made though just the

581
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: last two years alone, even from twenty four when you're

582
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: you know, in the offseason with the Jets to now

583
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: no more fair catch. That was a one year rule

584
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: and now you've got you know, the new rules in

585
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: for the thirty five yard line, landing zone, the whole ball.

586
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: How have you adjusted, maybe from the college ranks to

587
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: the pro ranks to be a factor in that area

588
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: of the game.

589
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 8: Well, like you said, obviously there are some differences between

590
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 8: you know, the nuances with the new kickoff rule, you know,

591
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 8: punts a little bit different. But from where I come

592
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 8: from in college, it's almost like we're a special teams

593
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 8: first team. I mean, we wrecked it so much, casual

594
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 8: adrills for every phase every day. And I played up

595
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 8: until my senior year, including my senior season, I'm on

596
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 8: special teams. So it was and I know it talks

597
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 8: about culture before, but like that was a huge driving factor,

598
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 8: and you know, for the Army football teams, like everybody

599
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 8: wanted to play special teams, like really wanted to play

600
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 8: special teams. So I really owe it to Coach Monk

601
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 8: in over there head coach, and then Coach Attorney, our

602
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 8: special teams coach, because I mean that drove our culture

603
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 8: over there, and you know they they they.

604
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 6: Just drilled it into us. They we wrapped it so often.

605
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 8: I think that's really made the transition, you know, easier

606
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 8: for me getting into the NFL.

607
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: Coach Monk and gave me a coin.

608
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 6: Did he. Yeah, you went up there and talked to

609
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 6: the team, didn't you. Well, I'll tell you a little

610
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 6: a little.

611
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 8: Fun fact our our pregame ritual the night before when

612
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 8: we stay at the hotel, we'd actually watch your highlights,

613
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 8: my highlights. You didn't know that before every game we

614
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 8: watched you before every single game at the hotel. As

615
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 8: we close our meeting, we watched your highlights.

616
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

617
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: I swear all twenty seconds of my highlights with repeats

618
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 3: in them.

619
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 6: Were like all you know, twenty twenty just a long

620
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,520

Speaker 8: it's a special teams of the special Teams meeting. But yeah,

628
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 8: we threw up the fists and everything in games. Yeah,

629
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 8: the whole deal.

630
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 6: I'm telling you, you're you're.

631
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 2: You watch if you weren't even in the Service Academy,

632
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: you went to the.

633
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 8: Northwestern if you walk into the Army football locker room,

634
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 8: every single person would know who you are.

635
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 3: Serious. It is wild.

636
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 8: I'm surprised you didn't know that I did to meet

637
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 8: you because I want to tell you.

638
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome, absolutely awesome, appreciate it.

639
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: That's that's amazing.

640
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: So in twenty twenty four, you know you're aspiring to

641
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: get in the NFL. You have your pro day And

642
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: I kind of chuckled at this because when I saw

643
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 2: the number, I was like, well, that tracks because you

644
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: know what the combine drills are, so you're, you know,

645
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 2: preparing for those. But did you even have to do

646
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: any prep for the bench press? I mean with the

647
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: amount of push ups you guys do. So he cranked

648
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: out thirty four reps on the bench. So that's a

649
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: big number. That's a big number. That's a big number

650
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: even for a linebacker. But I'm thinking in my head

651
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: like the guy does push ups every day, like this

652
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: is just like is it second nature to you? Just

653
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: putting it up? And you know what I mean, thirty

654
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: four reps is a lot.

655
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you what, when when we got when

656
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 8: we got finished up with the season, I did kind

657
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 8: of a baseline and I think I only got eleven

658
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 8: or twelve reps right when the season ended, and obviously

659
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 8: only got a few months. And you'd be surprised at

660
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 8: just how fast you can get those numbers up if you.

661
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: Really work, when you're not getting beat up by games,

662
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 3: it's easy.

663
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,239
Speaker 6: And that's the other that's yeah, part of it. That's

664
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 6: the end of the season.

665
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: You're like a little worn down.

666
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you don't run as much. Right when you're running,

667
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: I'm you can lift a lot, and if you don't run,

668
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: your weights go way up exactly you start running it exactly.

669
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, when you're when you're exerting yourself a lot of practice,

670
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 8: So transitioning into you know, like it's all short bursts,

671
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 8: like you're trained for the forty your training for you know, like.

672
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 6: Good strict trails.

673
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you'd be surprised at how fast you can

674
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 8: get those numbers out. But I had a great trainer,

675
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 8: and you.

676
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 3: Know, guys thrive on. You thrive on that though. Man,

677
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 3: let's you got at it's fun.

678
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 6: It was, it was fun, it was it was great.

679
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 6: It was great.

680
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 2: So time now for this week's tim Bits time Out,

681
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: presented of course by Tim Horton's where we asked the

682
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 2: fans to give us a question to ask Bills players.

683
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 2: This message, or question, i should say, comes from Harold,

684
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: who asks, how do the practices at West Point compare

685
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: to the practices with the Bills.

686
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 6: Uh, that's a good question.

687
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 8: Like I said, there is a huge chunk of time

688
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 8: cut out for special teams every day at practice.

689
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: Here or are you talking west at West Point?

690
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 8: Okay, But I mean we spend the same We spent

691
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 8: similar amounts of times. We did more of like position

692
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 8: specific stuff there.

693
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 2: Like game installs kind of the same.

694
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 6: And yeah, I mean the process is a lot the same.

695
00:34:59,520 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

696
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 8: That's that's that's a difficult question obviously, because like being

697
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 8: a practice squad guy, obviously I'm scouting looks for the office, right,

698
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 8: so it's kind of it's kind of hard to see.

699
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, the biggest thing most guys notice is that there's

700
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: nine thousand guys in college and there's like that's true.

701
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 6: It's okay, that's a very good point.

702
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 8: So to stem off of that, like we got guys running,

703
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 8: you know, both sides of scout team, guys running routes

704
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 8: and then flipping over and playing scout team safety in

705
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 8: the corner. Just because we're so thin at numbers. So yeah,

706
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 8: being able to have like we did, we had a

707
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 8: huge roster at Army. I mean we bring in.

708
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 6: I mean maybe one hundred fifty guys.

709
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 8: At some points, one hundred and third maybe one hundred

710
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 8: and thirty guys's at some point.

711
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 6: So like it's super it's super deep the roster.

712
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 8: You have a scout team that has you know, second

713
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 8: string and third team, so we had plenty of guys there.

714
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: Perfect Jimmy, thanks for the time. It was great to

715

738
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 9: Ron, mister task, thanks so much for having me on

739
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 9: the show again. I called on Monday as well, and

740
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 9: I just wanted to uh give my player in the

741
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 9: topic of discussion. I still have a lot of faith

742
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 9: in Keon Coleman. I think that I think he shows

743
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 9: a lot of talent when his jump balls, and I

744
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 9: think that once he finds his groove, I do think

745
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 9: that him and Josh are going to have a good

746
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 9: connection once they get on the same page. Okay, my

747
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 9: next My next topic is just that I I actually

748
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 9: when I called in, I wanted to discuss this, so

749
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 9: just a quick superstition thing. I've been going to games

750
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 9: for five or six years and wearing my Kyle Williams

751
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 9: jer's to every game. Is my favorite Bill all the time.

752
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 9: And I wore a Dion Dawkins white out jersey over

753
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 9: the top of my Kyle Woomb jersey at the game

754
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 9: the other day and we lost. So I'm ever gonna

755
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 9: do that again. And I think Bill's Mafia should boycott

756
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 9: any further whiteout jersey. I agree with Kevin and Hamburg

757
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 9: who said we shouldn't be doing that any further. And lastly,

758
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 9: I just wanted to give a quick shout out to

759
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 9: my wife player my two daughters, Evan and Margaret. They

760
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,359

776
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 3: It's certainly important to him. You've heard him talk about how,

777
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 3: you know, his evaluation of his own play. He's very

778
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: self critical, which is you know, you love to see

779
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 3: on guys, because you know, you don't have to. They

780
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 3: can see themselves where they need to be coached up

781
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 3: and take coaching really well. Usually the things that Keon

782
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: lacks in his game, say for instance, route running, whatever

783
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 3: you have, all of the things that he lacks are learnable, coachable, practicable,

784
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. You can get better at those.

785
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 3: You're not gonna make yourself taller, you know, you're not

786
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 3: gonna make yourself whatever any of the other stuff, the

787
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: physical traits, but you can learn everything else and that

788
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 3: and the things that he lacks. Really all it takes

789
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 3: his reps and concentration and making yourself a little better

790
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 3: in all those areas. So that's why I'm I'm with you.

791
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 3: I'm still high on Keon and because all the stuff

792
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 3: I see him people saying he needs to do better,

793
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 3: you can teach and learn and work hard at and

794
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: do and get better.

795
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 2: Fair enough, let's go to Butcher on the East side.

796
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: What's up?

797
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 10: But my brother's from another beautiful mother. I love him

798
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 10: as g I love wgr And so all the fans

799
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 10: listen to Washington Show Bush from East I love each

800
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 10: and every one of you. I just want to double

801
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 10: down on something, Mike. I just want to double down

802
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 10: on your beautiful wife.

803
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 11: Your family.

804
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 10: We love you, guys, We love you. Thanks for calling man,

805
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 10: keep calling in. It's a beautiful show. You talk to

806
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 10: beautiful guys, man, and double down to the ladies at

807
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 10: the house. I just want to just get right to

808
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 10: this point and it's something baseball. What Mike just said

809
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 10: as well. My goal is after this loss is that,

810
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 10: as you guys already know, I always still had Joe

811
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 10: Brady under investigation, that he goes back to the blackboard

812
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,479
Speaker 10: and Steve Chris, I mean Steve Chris, you guys about

813
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 10: the up tempo to o'huddle to get some kind of

814
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 10: rhythm going that he slowly implements that now also and

815
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 10: my players, I'm gonna use players plural where to the

816
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 10: point where I want this, I call them the second

817
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 10: string to have a great game against Monday Night. And

818
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 10: the second string is Shavers, Palmer, Coleman. And the reason

819
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 10: why I say that it is I just want them

820
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 10: to look at some way and besides the jump balls

821
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 10: in the back shoulder fades, is to get them involved

822
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 10: and schemes instead of blocking all the time. I just

823
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 10: think that we need to open it up a little bit.

824
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 10: That way, the first string, which I call Kink Knox

825
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 10: and secure to get more plays underneath. But I just

826
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 10: want the second stream to be more productive in this

827
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 10: game Monday night. But thanks to taking my call. I

828
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 10: love you guys, man, and keep winning. I love the

829
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 10: both of you, all right, thanks.

830
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Shaver's playtime hasn't been extensive, and I

831
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 2: think that would be expected. He's got a roll on

832
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: special teams most weeks, and then he'll get anywhere from

833
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: ten to twenty snaps on offense. So his opportunities have

834
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: been few and far between. And you understand why. I mean,

835
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 2: this is a team that uses a fair amount of

836
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 2: two and three tight end sets that takes receivers off

837
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: the field. Palmer and Coleman, though, have gotten a healthy

838
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: amount of run out there every week. And yes, they

839
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 2: do their fair share of blocking in the run game,

840
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: but they certainly get their fair share of routes to

841
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 2: run on passing down. So yeah, I mean, you could

842
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 2: spend that whatever way you want to suppose.

843
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 3: There's a couple of ripple effects from the philosophy of

844
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 3: everybody eats one. It's really good because Josh can throw

845
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 3: back and he doesn't have anybody over here hooting at

846
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 3: him in the huddle to say, hey, this is my play,

847
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: Give me the ball, Give me the ball, Give me

848
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 3: the ball. You don't have to put up with that

849
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 3: and add that to the mental strain of trying to

850
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 3: read the defense find the open guy instead of trying

851
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: to force the ball into somebody else. That's one ripple effect.

852
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,479
Speaker 3: The other ripple effect is you got guys who are good,

853
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 3: not great. Right, You don't have Jamar Chase or t

854
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: Higgins or you know, Calvin Johnson or some one of

855
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 3: these guys out there on the field. So everybody has

856
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 3: some stuff that they're really good at and some stuff

857
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: that they're not really good at. When they come out

858
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 3: with you know, shaves and keon and they're lined up

859
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 3: tight to the line of screamings and think, man, they

860
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 3: might be blocking, you start to get a little bit

861
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 3: predictable when you start to lean on the skill set

862
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 3: of each and every wide receiver exclusively. You need guys

863
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 3: that can do more than one thing, and they have

864
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 3: been really good at that. You gotta admit it, they've

865
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 3: been really good at it. Their offense is really good.

866
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 3: They stumbled and turned it over this last week. They

867
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 3: would have should have cut all the stuff. I mean,

868
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna they were gonna be right at thirty points

869
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 3: again if they don't turn it over three times. So

870
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 3: the ripple effects are one, you don't have this great

871
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 3: guy that's going to demand the ball, and two you

872
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: do maybe run the risk of getting predictable when certain

873
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 3: guys only do certain things. They have stayed away from that,

874
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 3: and they use different personnel packages. They use three type,

875
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 3: they use all their guys so much it's hard for

876
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 3: a defense to keep a handle on Okay, wait, wait, wait,

877
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 3: who are we looking at in this form? You know,

878
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 3: it's really tough for a defense to keep track of that,

879
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 3: particularly when it's every play they got a different formation

880
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 3: in or different personnel grouping in. It really gives a

881
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 3: lot of benefit to the offense, and we've seen the

882
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 3: results of it. We've seen the results of it. And yeah,

883
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 3: kin Kaid had a great game this week. We all

884
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 3: know and we should have been able to see it coming.

885
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 3: He may get two targets this week. You just got

886
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 3: to get your mind around it. Shakiir may get fifteen targets,

887
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 3: or Knocks may get eight catches, that's just the way

888
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 3: this offense runs. Because the Atlanta Falcons are gonna come

889
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: out and they go, Okay, listen, we're not letting this

890
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: guy beat us or this guy beat us. Do what

891
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 3: you can with the rest of it. And the rest

892
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 3: of it is you know, enough to make it's shakir,

893
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 3: it's James Cook, it's you know, key On Coleman. There

894
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 3: you go. Those guys are gonna win. So this offensive

895
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 3: philosophy has proven to be really, really effective. And I

896
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 3: know it's easy to do, but so so much even

897
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 3: the local media and guys in our business, they get

898
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 3: so caught up. In Dalton King Kaid had the game

899
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 3: of his life. Oh my gosh, target him this time too,

900
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 3: Throw it to him again, Throw it to him again,

901
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 3: Throw it to him again. Don't it's not broken.

902
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: It's not how this passing game functions.

903
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 3: It's not broken.

904
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 2: Don't fit. You don't have to fix it.

905
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 3: You don't have to, and you don't have to look

906
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 3: for this magic potion that's gonna make him score thirty

907
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 3: three points a game instead thirty.

908
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: One and a half.

909
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not brusted, So let

910
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 3: enjoy it. When kin Kid has a good game, but

911
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 3: expect that the next week He's probably not because that's

912
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 3: the way it works.

913
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: Let's go to Tom in Kent. What's up Tom?

914
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 7: Hey, thanks guys for taking my call. My pick is Shavers.

915
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 7: I know everybody's picking Shavers, but I was doing it

916
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 7: while I was waiting to talk to you. So what

917
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 7: I did is I thought, maybe as a second pick,

918
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 7: Davis gets a chance to play, or how about Bosa

919
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 7: getting a chance to play. Really, Shine, I would love

920
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 7: to see that.

921
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Bosa's beginning a lot of playing time,

922
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 2: so it's not for lack of opportunity. He is leading

923
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 2: the league in forced fumbles. I think they're hoping he

924
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 2: has more of a presence the pass rush.

925
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 3: The Bosa pick is is pretty intriguing because Michael Pennix

926
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 3: doesn't really like to run around very much, so you

927
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 3: know where he's gonna be, Yeah, and that tease up

928
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: your pass rush to kind of kind of sell out

929
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 3: to get there a little more. You know, they don't

930
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 3: have to worry about him rolling out of there and

931
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 3: you know, spinning out of there and going out to

932
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 3: the sidelines all by himself with nobody chasing him. So

933
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: the pass rush could get a little bit of a

934
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 3: break this week from playing guys like Drake May and

935
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. You know, so we'll see.

936
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, but our number two is

937
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: wide open for your phone call. So if you're on

938
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: hold at eight oh three oh five point fifty, stay

939
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 2: where you are. We will get to you in the

940
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 2: next segment. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colid

941
00:47:33,360 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 2: of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

942
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Lines presented by Calllida Hell.

943
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: All Right, second hour here on a Wednesday, Chris Brown,

944
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,479
Speaker 2: Steve Chaster with you. Topic of your discussion, which Bills

945
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 2: player do you expect to emerge Monday night against the

946
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: Falcons in the at L right to the phones, we

947
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 2: go where we get a lot of people holding and

948
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 2: we go to Ryan in Toronto. What's up Ryan?

949
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 12: That's Steve love the show. Love the topic. My uh

950
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 12: player has to be games Cook at least I say

951
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 12: that is the AFC off of the player of the

952
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 12: month as going against the NFC Player of the month, Robinson.

953
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 12: I think right and or last week from games Cook

954
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 12: had what maybe forty nine yards and rushing yards and

955
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 12: the Atlanta defense the number two I think in pass defense.

956
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 12: These guys got to run the ball, and to be honest,

957
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 12: games James Cook is probably the best way to beat

958
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 12: the Falcons. Don't try to be cute, Joe Brady. Just

959
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 12: pay and pay with the man who has forty five

960
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 12: million dollars. You paid him to make him use of

961
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 12: it on prime time. Thanks, Yeah, I would.

962
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 2: I would have to agree with you. Ryan. Atlanta's run

963
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: defense nothing to write home about. Sixteenth in the league

964
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 2: through four games played. They were on the bye last

965
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 2: week and they're they're really good against the pass, So yeah,

966
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 2: go with Yeah, they with your strength that you've used

967
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: a lot to start games, establish that because you want

968
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: to stay out of obvious passing situations as much as possible.

969
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 2: Because that pass rush they have is for real. They're

970
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: eighth in the league in sack percentage. And they got

971
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 2: three guys that they can run at you. It's Leonard Floyd,

972
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 2: the former Bill and and Jalen Walker and James Pierce,

973
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 2: the two first round draft choices out of Tennessee and Georgia.

974
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: And those guys can bring it. They bend off the

975
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 2: edge and they are all about speed and getting up

976
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: the field. So knowing you're going on silent count on

977
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 2: the road and all that stuff. Your tackles might be

978
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 2: a half beat late off the snap, and you can't

979
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,479
Speaker 2: do that against speed rushers. So if you can stay

980
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 2: at a long down distance, the run game could go

981
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: a long way to helping you do that.

982
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 3: That's right, and it gives you. It puts the ball

983
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 3: in the hands of another great player. You've got one

984
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 3: taking snaps. Josh is great, but you need the defense

985
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 3: to respect other guys and with everybody eats mentality that

986
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 3: we've been talking about the run game and having another

987
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 3: great guy just to hand it to low risk and

988
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 3: I get it to don't be cute. We saw what

989
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 3: happened and Josh's fumble when he and Knox couldn't make

990
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 3: the exchange. Everybody don't get cute, right, You should be

991
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 3: able to execute that play and they didn't. So there's

992
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 3: a lot in that recipe. But James Cook out of

993
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 3: the back and even under center. One of the reasons

994
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 3: that Atlanta has been really good against the pass is

995
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 3: their rush. Their pass rush, Uh, they got guys that

996
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 3: can get after it. Like Brownie said, Josh is hard

997
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 3: to sack, no question, But under center, play action and

998
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 3: then dropping back and throwing it. I think is a

999
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 3: great recipe for a team that isn't great run defense.

1000
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 3: Isn't a great run defense team, particularly if you've been

1001
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 3: running the ball well, I think it's it's a chance

1002
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 3: for a big play. So yeah, I would agree with you.

1003
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 3: James Cook needs to be a big part of this offense.

1004
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mario down in Jacksonville. What do you

1005
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 2: got for his Mario?

1006
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.

1007
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,919
Speaker 12: You did today, good good.

1008
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 11: I think the player let's.

1009
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 5: Gonna have a breakout game. Honestly, it might sound cliche,

1010
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 5: but I think it's gonna be Josh. I just saw

1011
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 5: the fire in his eyes Sunday night, and I know

1012
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 5: he was frust traded, especially on that third and tenth

1013
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 5: throat to Tier where we may arguably had a pass

1014
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 5: interference call that they didn't call. So I think he's

1015
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 5: gonna go out and perform. Plus he's gonna look really

1016
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 5: good in those throwbacking and forms. So I kind of

1017
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 5: have a hard time believing he's not going to have

1018
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 5: a great game, But I wanted to get your guys

1019
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 5: take on something. If you don't mind, you know, as

1020
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 5: the weeks have gone on in the days rather have

1021
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 5: passed since the game ended. I think there's some silver

1022
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 5: lining to look at. I mean, you had what eleven penalties,

1023
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 5: three turnovers, You're arguably missing four guys on defense who

1024
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 5: can make a difference for you. And it's a lot

1025
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 5: to say that the team almost still won or was

1026
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 5: in a position to win, and it took New England

1027
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 5: like a last second field goal to beat the team.

1028
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 5: So it speaks volume to the type of team that

1029
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 5: we have that with all of those things against him,

1030
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 5: they could have still put the game away if they

1031
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,720
Speaker 5: get maybe that call on Shakier. But having said that, Steve,

1032
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 5: I just I wanted to address the point I wanted

1033
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 5: to get your trying to maybe change your mind on something,

1034
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 5: if you can humor me for a second.

1035
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, respectfully, sir, I disagree with the everybody eats and

1036
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 3: I know we put up a lot of points and

1037
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 3: you keep referring.

1038
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 5: Back to last year, and last year was great.

1039
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 3: It was fun.

1040
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 5: I look back at it fondly for what it was.

1041
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 5: But you know, if you do the same thing over

1042
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 5: and over again expecting different results, that's the definition of insanity, right,

1043
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 5: And I think a thing that has hampered this team

1044
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 5: and going into the offseason, we can all agree as fans,

1045
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 5: is you know, you had a position that was stretched

1046
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 5: thin that you didn't really get the most out of

1047
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 5: in terms of stretching the ball down field, getting separations.

1048
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 5: So when teams stopped the run or stack the box,

1049
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 5: they can find that, hey, Josh doesn't really have much

1050
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 5: much to go to. He's got to make plays with

1051
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 5: this leg. He's got to run out of the pocket.

1052
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 5: So I think, you know, we can agree that bringing

1053
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 5: in a top talent guy or going after at least

1054
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 5: attempting to bring in another Gigs like receiver is only

1055
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 5: a positive for the team. And I think if you

1056
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 5: have an offensive coordinator who has schemed around the idea

1057
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 5: of you don't need that kind of player. To me,

1058
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 5: you have a guy who is essentially hampering Josh's ability

1059
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 5: to win a Super Bowl for this team. You had

1060
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 5: one hundred yard receiver in Beasley who made Digs better.

1061
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 5: You have an eighty plus catcher and Digs who made

1062
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 5: Beasley better. Guys like that makes the team better all around.

1063
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 5: And you can have this everybody eats mentality, but still

1064
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 5: have a guy who's going to draw that kind of

1065
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 5: attention down the field and make the team so much

1066
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 5: better than a spend. And so I don't know if

1067
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 5: I'm Brandon Dean right now. I know he's criticized the

1068
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 5: guys in WGR and the offseason about getting on the

1069
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 5: team for not addressing this issue. But to me, that's

1070
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 5: a huge issue they do have to address because yeah,

1071
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 5: it's not broken and you don't have to fix it,

1072
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 5: But how.

1073
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: Could it be a huge issue If it's not broken,

1074
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 3: you do to fix it and they're scoring thirty points

1075
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 3: a game. Now, I get it. I'll go along with this.

1076
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 3: I'll go along with this, Mario. Better players make you better, right,

1077
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 3: If you can find better players better, that's awesome. If

1078
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,240
Speaker 3: you could run this everybody eats mentality with Jamar Chase,

1079
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 3: Calvin Johnson, Andre Reid, Jerry Rice, good Luck.

1080
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 7: Sure.

1081
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 5: But I think the point I'm trying to address, though,

1082
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 5: is when do we let it break and then try

1083
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 5: to fix it right like we went last year. We

1084
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 5: lost to Houston, and then we went and lost again,

1085
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 5: and then we went out and got Cooper. Correct me

1086
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 5: if I'm wrong. So I don't know. I'm just a

1087
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 5: little concerned that the writing, hopefully not the writing's not

1088
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 5: on the wall that this could be set up to

1089
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 5: happen again. And now we're over here moaning as Okay,

1090
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 5: maybe we do need some help.

1091
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 11: I don't know.

1092
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 12: I get nervous for.

1093
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 5: The playoffs and the teams that are in a position

1094
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 5: to stop the Bills doing what they want to do.

1095
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 5: And if now's the time to address it and you

1096
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 5: can bring it in and change it, would like to

1097
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 5: do so, because I will be upset again if we

1098
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 5: wind up where we were last year at this time.

1099
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 3: I think, sorry, Mario, that's all good stuff. I think

1100
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 3: you're fixing the passing game, and I think that's crazy

1101
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 3: talk because of the points they're scoring right now and

1102
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 3: all this The only thing that I hope and I

1103
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 3: think the only thing that's really really important to this

1104
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 3: offense right now is you got to keep James Cook

1105
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 3: running the football effectively. If you've got effective running game,

1106
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 3: you can line up Larry Curley and Moe on the

1107
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 3: outside because that defense has got to dive into the

1108
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 3: box to stop the run. If they can't stop the run,

1109
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 3: you don't have to throw, and you can line up

1110
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 3: the three Stooges at wide out. But if you got

1111
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 3: anybody above that, like Keon Coleman, like Khalil Shakir, guys

1112
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 3: who've got some gifts, like Dalton Kincaid, all these guys. Yeah,

1113
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 3: they don't have enough on that side of the ball

1114
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 3: to stop you. So I think it's not the wide

1115
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 3: receivers are having one of the these whatever wide receivers

1116
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 3: you're talking about. It's not having one of those guys

1117
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 3: on the roster that's holding them back. It's there. They've

1118
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 3: got to be able to run the ball every week.

1119
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 3: James Cook has to be effective for this. Everybody, each

1120
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 3: mentality to work. It's that simple. You go back and

1121
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 3: look when Joe Brady took over, all of a sudden,

1122
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 3: they went from sixty forty to fifty to fifty run

1123
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 3: pass because they got to do that to make sure

1124
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 3: the defense stays honest in the back end.

1125
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 2: And just for the sake of providing an example, here

1126
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 2: are the last six playoff games for the number one

1127
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 2: receiver when he was on the roster. Stefan Diggs last

1128
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 2: six playoff games over twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three,

1129
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty four three for sixty three for seven,

1130
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 2: seven for one, fourteen against Miami Wild Card Game four

1131
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 2: thirty five, seven for fifty two, three for twenty one.

1132
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like a number one wide receiver to me.

1133
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 2: In the playoffs, this guy that can make plays when

1134
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 2: you absolutely need them got completely taken out of the

1135
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 2: game in set six of the seven or five of

1136
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 2: the six games that I just listed for you. So

1137
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 2: I think the Bills looked at that production and said,

1138
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 2: why are we paying twenty seven million dollars for a

1139
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 2: guy we can't count on in the postseason, who's an

1140
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 2: A one receiver player. Let's try it a different way

1141
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 2: and let's not have an A one receiver. Let's be

1142
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 2: more unpredictable with an across the board collection of B

1143
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 2: plus receivers A minus receivers and see what we get

1144
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 2: out of that. And last year they led the league

1145
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: in points scored. After doing that, I think they're gonna

1146
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 2: continue in that vein believing they can get there.

1147
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 3: And I'll say this.

1148
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 2: And they added two receivers that are better than the

1149
00:58:58,800 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 2: two they.

1150
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 3: Had on the roster this year.

1151
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 2: That's right.

1152
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 3: I'll say this too, Mario. You should be nervous about

1153
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 3: the playoffs. You gotta win or go home. You gotta

1154
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 3: play well on that day, and the offense could score

1155
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 3: fifty two and lose by a team that scores fifty three,

1156
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 3: and then you're whether you have an one receiver or not.

1157
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 3: You should be nervous about the playoffs. It's all or nothing.

1158
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 3: You're never gonna get over that. You can feel confident,

1159
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 3: but you shouldn't be confident. You're going against the best

1160
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 3: of the best, and so you gotta know that going

1161
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 3: in nothing is gonna wipe that out, wipe that out.

1162
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 3: You're always gonna have questions. And this people questioning this

1163
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 3: offense right now after one week is proof that people

1164
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 3: are nervous over everything, let alone playoffs.

1165
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and too, Bill and Hamilton.

1166
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 2: What's up Bill?

1167
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 7: Hi, guys.

1168
00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 13: Basically I had a question the two players that being signed,

1169
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 13: as I guess free agents who are suspended.

1170
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 12: Are they going to be.

1171
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 13: Are they going to make a difference to this defense

1172
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 13: when they can finally get on the field and play.

1173
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 13: I know nobody talks about them too much because of

1174
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 13: course they're not doing anything. I'm just kind of curious

1175
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 13: because it was does he sign them, and then of

1176
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 13: course we find out they're suspended right away. Are these

1177
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 13: guys going to be able to make a significant contribution

1178
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 13: to the Bills defense.

1179
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all a matter of opinion because there's no proofs.

1180
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 2: There's no proof yet. But I think the indications we

1181
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 2: got from Michael Hoyt's play in the preseason when he

1182
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 2: was playing was encouraging. I mean, he was causing a

1183
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 2: lot of problems in the offensive backfield, whether it was

1184
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 2: pass rushing downs or rundowns for that matter. This is

1185
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 2: a player that they coveted in free agency for a

1186
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 2: couple of off seasons. They were way for his contract

1187
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 2: to expire in LA and when it did, they jumped

1188
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 2: on him early. And I think they believe he can

1189
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 2: be a force multiplier for them on defense because he's

1190
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 2: a movable chess piece. He can play a bunch of

1191
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 2: different roles. He used to be a heavier player and

1192
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 2: played defensive tackle, and then he dropped weight and he

1193
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 2: plays in the high two fifties, low two sixties and

1194
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 2: now plays on the edge, stands up on the line

1195
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Can probably play a little off ball linebacker

1196
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 2: in the run front if you need him too. So

1197
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 2: I think he's a versatile chess piece for this defense

1198
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 2: and he will help. And Ogun Joby. We just saw

1199
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 2: him in the hallway last week. Steve goes, who's that guy.

1200
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, that's Ogunjobi. And you want to

1201
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 2: talk a guy about a guy that's built like a fridge,

1202
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the most squarely built man you've ever seen.

1203
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 2: I think he's going to help in the run front.

1204
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 2: He's a veteran player that plays a hard nosed brand

1205
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 2: of football. He'll help you in the run front. So yeah,

1206
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 2: I do think those two guys will help from an

1207
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 2: experienced stand point on a defensive front that is probably

1208
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 2: more young right now than they would prefer it to be,

1209
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 2: and from number two a playmaking standpoint, and I look

1210
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 2: at Hoyt for that.

1211
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 3: And they're going to give you more quality depth as well.

1212
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 3: You're gonna be able to stay at a high level

1213
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 3: when you rotate guys in and out. The thing that

1214
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 3: struck me about the Michael Hoyt signing was that the

1215
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 3: team and Brandon Bean said this to the media, and

1216
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody remembers he said that, Yeah,

1217
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 3: we knew he was going to get suspended when they

1218
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 3: signed him, and they signed him not only did they

1219
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 3: still sign him. They signed him to a three year deal.

1220
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 3: They like this guy, so they have high hopes for him.

1221
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 3: And you know, if Brandon signing a guy like that,

1222
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 3: you know that McDermott is way on board with that,

1223
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 3: particularly in the situation with this suspension. So I think

1224
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 3: the coaching staff has plans for particularly Hoyt to come

1225
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 3: in and be a contributor right away.

1226
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 2: Let's go to Lee and Buffalo. What do you firs? Lee?

1227
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1228
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 3: How you guys doing good?

1229
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 7: Good?

1230
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, Steve, I totally agree with you. I listened to

1231
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 14: the morning show, I listened to Choping the Bulldog yesterday.

1232
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 14: I am just like confused why the Bills fans are

1233
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 14: complaining about this offense. It's just one week. They should

1234
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 14: be complaining about the fumbles and the flags because that's

1235
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 14: what really set our offense back. If they really want

1236
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 14: to get technical, because the flags, you know, the catch

1237
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 14: with Keyan Callman, he fumbles, McDermott benches them knocks running

1238
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 14: into Josh Allen. That's a fumble. They gave the Patriots opportunities.

1239
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 14: I don't understand why people are calling about confused about

1240
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 14: this offense. They're averaging almost thirty points a game.

1241
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Hill last week they were averaging

1242
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 2: thirty three. So yeah, they've been enormously productive even when

1243
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 2: they weren't playing their best. I mean, I think you

1244
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 2: could ask the Bills offense. Guys on the Bills offense

1245
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 2: right now, they'll still tell you played our best game yet.

1246
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they had to go into two minute drill

1247
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 2: mode the entire second half in week one. They were

1248
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 2: able to shorten the game against the Jets. In Week two,

1249
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 2: they running the ball, but they almost knelt the second half.

1250
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 3: They knelt down basically this entire second half of game.

1251
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,919
Speaker 2: Game three, they had a little bit of a lull

1252
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 2: in the middle of the game, still scored thirty one points.

1253
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 2: And then the Saints they had some issues also and

1254
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 2: still finished with thirty one points. So they haven't played

1255
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 2: their best game yet and they've scored over thirty four

1256
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 2: out of the five games. So yeah, it's one game.

1257
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's a one off and they're back to what

1258
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 2: they usually do this week against the Falcons. We'll have

1259
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 2: to wait and see. It's as simple as that. Let's

1260
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 2: go to Maureen in Lancaster. Let me punch her up here.

1261
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 2: What do you got Maureen.

1262
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 4: Hi, guys, Honest to god, I agree with this gentleman

1263
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 4: that just called. I felt Sunday Night's game. I felt

1264
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 4: like the team couldn't get anything going because every time

1265
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 4: it turned around, there was another flag growing, a flag thrown,

1266
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 4: and I felt it disrupted their whole chemistry. As just

1267
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 4: as a fan sitting here in my living room, I

1268
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 4: was I couldn't believe what I was watching, and then

1269
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 4: I realized it was that Hacules. This is the same

1270
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 4: thing that happened to the Bills last year when they

1271
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 4: played in Philadelphia, same thing, first half, eight penalties called

1272
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 4: Philadelphia wasn't getting any it was. It was so much

1273
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 4: of the same kind of crap. Sorry for the word

1274
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 4: I just I just felt it through the whole team,

1275
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 4: and I shouldn't say it. I felt like the the

1276
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 4: advancing the way they normally advanced. I felt that that

1277
01:05:56,320 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 4: whole thing was off off kilter. I appreciate your interviewing

1278
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 4: Joey Charlo. I thought he was great, and I think

1279
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 4: it's great that he and Steve had such a connection

1280
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 4: with their How about that they're with their time, not

1281
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 4: Steve's time at Army, but with his time at Army

1282
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 4: and I really think he's the kind of kid that's

1283
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 4: going to grow and have a big part in this team.

1284
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 4: I love his attitude. He's so well spoken, and he

1285
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 4: he wants to be here. He's just thrilled to be here.

1286
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 4: So but I do appreciate you guys trying to keep

1287
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 4: the people in the city here saying because I can't

1288
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 4: listen to some of the other stuff on the radio

1289
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 4: because it drives me nuts. It's like, get real, get real.

1290
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the call, appreciate it. Yeah, people

1291
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 2: are going to have their opinions. They're entitled to them,

1292
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 2: and you know, we'll see where it goes. We'll see

1293
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 2: if last week was it one often, if they can

1294
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 2: get right back on track to score and points like

1295
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 2: they usually do, if it lingers, well, then people with

1296
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 2: those opinions will feel further in boldened. And I get why.

1297
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. If you start losing games and they

1298
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 3: start looking the exact same, then you got problems. The

1299
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 3: Bills lost a game. It was a game they lost

1300
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 3: when they didn't play like they normally play, and only

1301
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 3: part of it was because of the team they were playing.

1302
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 3: In fact, smaller part of it than you might imagine

1303
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 3: so hard to think that you need to change course

1304
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 3: too awful much. Now, I'll say this, this game this

1305
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 3: weekend is going to look much different than the Patriots

1306
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 3: game because the Atlanta Falcons have the number one overall

1307
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 3: defense in the National Football League. They're stout, they're middle

1308
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 3: of the road run defense, but they're number one offensively,

1309
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 3: I mean number one against the pass game. So the

1310
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 3: Bills offense is going to have its work cut out

1311
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 3: for us. And also, the Atlanta offense has a ton

1312
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 3: of first round picks guys who are really physically gifted

1313
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 3: on it. So it's gonna be a top ten picks.

1314
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tough matchup, physical matchup for the

1315
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 3: Bills one on one. Now, schematically, you can you know

1316
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 3: zone them off, and you can you know, do it

1317
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 3: as a group pretty well. But this is gonna be

1318
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,600
Speaker 3: a much different game than the Patriots game. It's the

1319
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 3: team that's coming off the bye week, and they've got

1320
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 3: some reasons to feel like, you know, they they've got

1321
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 3: some stuff going on. I mean they they they're on

1322
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 3: this pattern where they lost win loss win over their

1323
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 3: first four games, and there have been wide swings in

1324
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,759
Speaker 3: the scores they looked as bad as they could possibly

1325
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 3: look two weeks ago, and then they look pretty good

1326
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 3: against the Washington Commanders and beat them. So we'll see

1327
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 3: what kind of team you face down in Atlanta on

1328
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 3: a Monday night. They're coming off of bye. It's not

1329
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 3: a team that plays a lot on primetime football, and

1330
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 3: they are gonna be smoking hot to go. It's gonna

1331
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,759
Speaker 3: be a really tough environment and against a really good defense.

1332
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 3: So this is not gonna be your dad's Atlanta Falcons.

1333
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 2: Although they'll look like your dad's Atlanta Falcons because they're

1334
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:18,839
Speaker 2: wearing dress helmets.

1335
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 3: They're gonna be dressed like your dad's, dressed like.

1336
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 2: Your dad's Falcons. We'll see if they play like them too.

1337
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 2: We do have to take a break here, but more

1338
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 2: of your phone calls when we get back. Mark and

1339
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 2: Tonawanda are gonna lead us off when we return here.

1340
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 2: On a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live, presented by

1341
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 2: Colia Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio from the Coach's Office

1342
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 2: is presented by c FBT copyr Facts Business Technology, the

1343
01:09:55,640 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 2: official office technology company of the Buffalo Bills, and the

1344
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 2: Coach's office was probably trying to frame the approach this week,

1345
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 2: coming off their first loss of the season, and coupled

1346
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 2: that with what is expected to be a pretty rowdy atmosphere,

1347
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 2: at least at the outset of the game. You gotta

1348
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 2: believe the coaches are telling the players, Hey, we may

1349
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 2: have to weather a little bit of a storm there

1350
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 2: the first ten minutes of regulation when this crowd's all

1351
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 2: hyped up. But we get some points on the board.

1352
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 2: It's going to quiet people early.

1353
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. But you also, I think it's more about the

1354
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 3: office is coming down during the week and saying it's

1355
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 3: a tough balance for them to strike at this time

1356
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 3: of year, because, like I said earlier in the show,

1357
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:42,680
Speaker 3: the guys are really enjoying an extra day of recuperation

1358
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 3: for the Monday night game. It's huge. But you also

1359
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 3: got to balance that with the fact that you kind

1360
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 3: of feel like you got to button things up a

1361
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 3: little tighter. Yeah, from taking a loss. Now, certainly the

1362
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 3: loss was because it was slop particularly because it was sloppy, right.

1363
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 3: It wasn't like you played great and they go out

1364
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 3: of a lucky balance. You played kruddy. You drop three turnovers,

1365
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 3: you know, and got a ton of undisciplined penalties.

1366
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 2: Josh called it piss poor offense.

1367
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's a lot of reason to think you

1368
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 3: got to show up buttoned up and high and tight

1369
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 3: in your preparation. And that's I said a lot. That's

1370
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 3: when you win these games in the NFL. You win

1371
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 3: them Monday through Saturday, and the Sunday proves it. You

1372
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,560
Speaker 3: win them by preparing to win. And you know, you

1373
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 3: got to balance the fact that you get an extra

1374
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 3: day and you need some extra recuperation time. You got

1375
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 3: to rehab and you got to get the soreness out.

1376
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 3: And at this point of the season, you know, you're

1377
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 3: five weeks in, it's a grind. You've been training camp,

1378
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 3: the whole thing, and you got to balance that need

1379
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 3: for recuperation with needing to finger goes, work harder, right,

1380
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 3: get it, get it better, button it up. So all

1381
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 3: of that comes down from the coaches and the leadership,

1382
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 3: and how they balance that altogether is how good they

1383
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 3: can have, how good a week of practice they'll have.

1384
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 2: Get back to the phones, and as promised to Mark

1385
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 2: in Tonawanda, what's up Mark?

1386
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, thanks for having me on. Sure, I just

1387
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 11: wanted to disagree. I know a lot of callers you know,

1388
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 11: we're sitting at four and one. Okay, I hate to

1389
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 11: be that guy at four and one, But Steve, I

1390
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 11: feel like you're comment about you can have the three

1391
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 11: stooges out there with James Cook running the ball. I mean,

1392
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,639
Speaker 11: clearly not. What aggravates people is this is the caliber

1393
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 11: defense we're going to see in the playoffs, and it

1394
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 11: wasn't good enough. I feel like Joe Brady got out

1395
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 11: coached on Sunday night in front of everybody. And here's

1396
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 11: my thing. You say that, Steve, back in your day

1397
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 11: we had Bruce Smith. What did the defense have to do.

1398
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 11: They had to go out and get Cornelius Bennett. You

1399
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 11: guys said, Andre Reid, you go out and get Lofton.

1400
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 11: I mean, why in the world would you not want

1401
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 11: to get someone that can take the top off the

1402
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,839
Speaker 11: field here for this offense because clearly that's their biggest struggle.

1403
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 11: And then you know, could have went and hammered it

1404
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 11: more than maybe Kincaid. But again, that's all coaching. That's

1405
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 11: just Joe Brady getting out coached. And to my point,

1406
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 11: I think this game is needed. I think that they don't.

1407
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 11: They did not look sharp against the Saints. You know

1408
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 11: they're they're winning these they should be blowing these teams out.

1409
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 11: I feel like and you have the m v P.

1410
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 11: I just I'm gonna give McDermott the benefit of the

1411
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 11: doubt with these injuries on defense, but I just think

1412
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 11: they gotta do something to try to improve, always get better.

1413
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:30,879
Speaker 11: I think that's what you guys did in the nineties,

1414
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 11: and you know, you guys still couldn't get it done.

1415
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 11: But here we are. This is our window.

1416
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 3: Go for it.

1417
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:38,679
Speaker 11: Let's stop getting you know, we'll get this to the fringe.

1418
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 11: Let's go for the cup. I'm all fired up. I'm

1419
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 11: gonna have to listen to you guys. Thanks for having

1420
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 11: me on Mark.

1421
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 3: All right. First of all, you're you're miss You're missing

1422
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 3: the point that I was making about the Three Stooges

1423
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 3: and I have said just before that, Yes, good players

1424
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 3: make you better. I gotta I gott. You're not gonna

1425
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 3: get better personnel, significantly better personnel. Now, nobody's gonna let

1426
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 3: those guys go. You're not gonna get a team like

1427
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 3: Cincinnati to trade you for Jamar Chase or the player

1428
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 3: of your player like you're talking about. They're not available.

1429
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 3: That's one two. Yes, good players better players. Great players

1430
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 3: make you better, no question about it, no question about it.

1431
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 3: Three Joe Brady. I'm almost positive that Joe Brady didn't

1432
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 3: coach Keon Coleman to drop the pass, or Josh Allen

1433
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 3: to fumble the snap or drop, or Khalil Shakir to

1434
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 3: drop a pass. I'm pretty sure that's not what Joe

1435
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 3: Brady's trying to coach these guys to do. And those

1436
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 3: are the reasons they lost. It's not their talent level.

1437
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 3: It's not the play call, it's not the creativity of

1438
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator. It's not anything other than their penalties

1439
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 3: and their turnovers and other than that. If none of

1440
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 3: that stuff happens, they're five and zero and you're talking

1441
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 3: they should be blowing these teams out. They won by twenty,

1442
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 3: they won by ten, they won by twelve in the

1443
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 3: three games before this. That's three double digit wins in

1444
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 3: a league where seventy percent of the wins, seventy five

1445
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 3: percent of the wins are one score games, and they're

1446
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 3: beaten teams by ten plus every week. So they're fine.

1447
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 3: They're fine. It's not the coaching. It's the players. Got

1448
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 3: to play better. It's the players. That got to show

1449
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 3: up sharp mentally, because that's what showed up in glaring

1450
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 3: fashion against the Patriots. They were not sharp mentally. That's

1451
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 3: when you drop passes, That's when you don't execute a

1452
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 3: simple handoff, and that's when you fumble the ball when

1453
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,480
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to. That's when you jump off sides.

1454
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 3: That's when you get lazy and use your hands too

1455
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 3: much hold on a play. That's all mindset of the

1456
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 3: players who didn't show up sharp. Now, you put any

1457
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 3: of that you want on Sean McDermot as much as

1458
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 3: you want, but I'm sure I'm pretty sure none of

1459
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 3: those coaches are telling their players to do those things right.

1460
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,759
Speaker 2: And like, just to add this in as a factor,

1461
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 2: nobody's saying you shouldn't try to get better if an

1462
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,600
Speaker 2: opportunity presents itself. But I think you also have to

1463
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:32,959
Speaker 2: respect the constraints under which Brandon, being in the personnel

1464
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 2: department are operating, knowing they're still tight against the cap,

1465
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 2: and knowing that there's probably a pretty strong willingness in

1466
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 2: many cases to not make the bills any better than

1467
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,600
Speaker 2: they already are. Yes, you can probably talk to some

1468
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 2: bottom feeders that aren't going anywhere and might be looking

1469
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 2: to unload a player or two in exchange for some

1470
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 2: draft capital. But the Bills also are going to have

1471
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 2: to part with players to create more cap space. If

1472
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 2: they want to get a player of any kind of caliber.

1473
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 2: You're talking about back, you got to dollars have to

1474
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 2: go out for bigger dollars to come in. So that's

1475
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,440
Speaker 2: not an easy lift either. I'm not saying it's impossible,

1476
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,640
Speaker 2: but there are. My point is there are some restrictions

1477
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 2: at play here too that have to be navigated, not

1478
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 2: just simply saying, hey, we should get that guy, let's

1479
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 2: add him to the roster.

1480
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 3: I'm not saying the Bills even want to do any

1481
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 3: of that.

1482
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.

1483
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 3: I kind of have doubts as they. I think they

1484
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 3: like their roster, particularly if it was one hundred percent healthy.

1485
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 2: And if anything, if they're looking to add anywhere, it's

1486
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:39,759
Speaker 2: on defense, yeah, because they are supremely shorthanded in terms

1487
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 2: of manpower. The two corners you drafted to make your

1488
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 2: cornerback position deeper on ir right now. So I tend

1489
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 2: to believe the Bills are going to try to keep

1490
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 2: triaging this defense knowing they're short on manpower, try to

1491
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 2: get to the buy, hopefully get a win Monday night,

1492
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 2: and then reassess from there. The trade deadlines November fourth,

1493
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 2: I think that's when they assess, Hey, what's our cap space?

1494
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 2: How much dollars have to go out for dollars to

1495
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 2: come in on a player we might identify as someone

1496
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 2: who can help us in the short term and maybe

1497
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 2: down the road as well, or at least until we

1498
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 2: get healthier as a team. But they're already getting two

1499
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 2: players back after the buye. That's like acquiring two players

1500
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 2: in Ogun Joby and Hoyt. So I think it's less.

1501
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 2: I think it's unlikely that they make a trade until

1502
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 2: they see what it looks like with Hoyt and Ogunjobi

1503
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 2: in the fold. And I know that's a tight window

1504
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 2: because post buy, you know, you're only two weeks out

1505
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 2: from the trade deadline. But I think there's probably some

1506
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 2: measure of curiosity as to how much better it will

1507
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 2: look with those two guys back in the fold. That's

1508
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 2: that's just the way I feel. Let's go to Mike

1509
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 2: in Orchard Park next. What's up Mike?

1510
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Sure, yeah, Hey,

1511
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 15: I I agree with everything you guys are saying. I

1512
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 15: just feel like there's there's definitely some overaction going on

1513
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 15: right now with getting beat by New England. Right, we

1514
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 15: weren't perfect right as fire as personnel, like what I

1515
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 15: would like to see more of, There's some uncertainty with

1516
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 15: Dorian Strong. There's definitely some Uncarris plays that we've seen

1517
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 15: from Trade White that you know, we just didn't see

1518
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 15: in his prime that that you know, like plays that

1519
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 15: Stefan Dick's made on him that you know he wasn't

1520
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 15: getting too deep in the drops and stuff and and uh,

1521
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 15: you know, like I I look at Corner, you know,

1522
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 15: I would love to see, you know, some playing time

1523
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 15: from Jordan Hancock. He's the one player that I'm interested

1524
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 15: that I followed him in Ohio with with Olile Bucks.

1525
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 15: You know, I just tackling hasn't been the greatest, you know,

1526
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 15: so I feel that's something we have to improve. But

1527
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 15: as fire as like trading for players, I'm with you guys,

1528
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 15: I don't. I don't. I don't think that's that's even

1529
01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 15: the fault right now. I think Brandon Bean lost his

1530
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 15: his players, and I you know, I feel that they're

1531
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:06,600
Speaker 15: they're looking for players inside the building right now to

1532
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 15: make plays that you know the system. They're ready to play.

1533
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 15: So as far as moving forward here, I just your opinions, like,

1534
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 15: have you guys even thought about Jordan Hancock or you

1535
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 15: don't think he's.

1536
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 2: Ready yet, or yeah, I like Jordan Hancock in the preseason,

1537
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 2: He's in the midst of playing his best game and

1538
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 2: then he suffers a shoulder injury in the preseason game

1539
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 2: in Chicago and he's his preseason's over. I think if

1540
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 2: he stayed on the field through the duration of that preseason,

1541
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 2: I think there would have been a role for him

1542
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 2: in this defense. Not a starting role, but maybe he's

1543
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 2: your third safety in a dime package instead of Cam

1544
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 2: Lewis because he's a bigger, more physically imposing player, and

1545
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 2: maybe he plays the role that Rapp played a couple

1546
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 2: of years ago when he came here and played in

1547
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 2: the dime defense. I could see a role like that

1548
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 2: for him, but it got curtailed by a shoulder injury

1549
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 2: that kept him off the field for two weeks. And

1550
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 2: you look at the draft class. You drafted three defensive backs,

1551
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 2: every one of them miss time on the field, and

1552
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 2: the Bills don't just dismiss that out of hand. They

1553
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 2: I say this all the time on this show. The

1554
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 2: number one thing that a coach wants in a player

1555
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 2: is the belief that they can be trusted on the field.

1556
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 2: And young players are the hardest to trust because they've

1557
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 2: seen the least at this level on the field of

1558
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 2: play at game speed. It's very hard for coaches to

1559
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 2: trust rookies that have not experienced it at this level

1560
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 2: on the field. And I get it. To get better,

1561
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 2: you have to play in games. So it's difficult to

1562
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 2: strike that balance for coaches sometime. And look, with the

1563
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 2: lack of manpower the Bills have right now, they might

1564
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:54,639
Speaker 2: have to just bite the bullet and put a young

1565
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 2: player that is physically talented and gifted like Hancock and

1566
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 2: say we're gonna give you fifteen plays this week in

1567
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,679
Speaker 2: the dime package. Go get them and see how it goes.

1568
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:05,719
Speaker 2: You might get to that point.

1569
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 3: And they were doing that with Dorian Strong before you

1570
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 3: guys concussion, they were, and then he gets a neck

1571
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 3: injury in uh not concussion, neck injury. Uh So yeah.

1572
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 3: There they are constantly looking at the roster and the

1573
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 3: development of the young players and giving those guys opportunities

1574
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 3: to do what Brownie said, earn their trust. As soon

1575
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 3: as they earn their trust, they're in. If they're better,

1576
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 3: the better option always plays. Even if it's a nuanced

1577
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 3: spot where they're better, the better option always plays. That's

1578
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 3: one of the things that sets this culture apart. Salaries

1579
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 3: don't decide who plays. It's it's who's who gives them

1580
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:46,719
Speaker 3: the best chance. The practice that's that's always been something

1581
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,639
Speaker 3: that's a little bit of you. Has been a little unusual.

1582
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 3: It's a little more common these days, but it's it's

1583
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 3: set in stone here. So uh, Dorian's Dorian Strong's neck

1584
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 3: injury was really really a stab in the back for

1585
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 3: what their plan was. I think in the next few weeks.

1586
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they were thinking him to eventually step

1587
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 2: into a starting role, maybe as soon as after the bye.

1588
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 3: Week, I think, and Watgentine to see what I'm doing.

1589
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 3: I think if this is Trey White's playtime and this

1590
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 3: is Dorian starting, I think they were doing this, you know,

1591
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 3: like at scale tipping the other way. I think the

1592
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 3: time was eventually going away from Trey and up with

1593
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 3: Dorian Strong. And then that doesn't say anything about Max Harriston,

1594
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 3: who is, you know, slowly but surely doing a little

1595
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 3: bit more and a little bit more and a little

1596
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 3: bit more on the side away from practice, you know,

1597
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 3: they've they've got to get to a point another you know,

1598
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 3: get another month through the season, try and go four

1599
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 3: and one again over the next five weeks and then

1600
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 3: see where you stand and try and get Maybe some

1601
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 3: of these guys healthy Hoyt and Ogan Joby will help some,

1602
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 3: although I'm not holding out hope that it's going to

1603
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 3: be like night and day. Just a little improvement here

1604
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 3: and there and maybe you know, they're a little better

1605
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 3: on third down, maybe a little bit better in the

1606
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 3: red zone, you know, continue to get.

1607
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 2: Let's not forget they're both new to this defense as well,

1608
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 2: so even though they're veteran players and they played all

1609
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 2: preseason in it, there will be an acclamation period there too.

1610
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 3: Right, So there's a lot going on with this team

1611
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 3: that let me just spin it both ways. One is

1612
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 3: one way. The way that some of the callers are here, like, yeah,

1613
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 3: they're they're starting to deteriorate, right, The offense is gonna

1614
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 3: skip a beat. They're gonna start scoring twenty six points

1615
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 3: a game, or twenty seven points a game in is

1616
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 3: to the thirty plus, you know, and they're they're gonna,

1617
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 3: they're gonna ability to be effective is gonna erode further

1618
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 3: and further because teams are gonna figure out the everybody

1619
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:35,759
Speaker 3: eats mantra right. And then on defense, they're gonna continue

1620
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 3: to struggle to rush the passer. Their corners are never

1621
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 3: you know, strong, and Harrison will never come back, and

1622
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to go with what they got and

1623
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:44,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna continue to get exploited because they don't have

1624
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 3: a pass rush and they can't cover up in the

1625
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:49,640
Speaker 3: back end long enough to make a difference, and the

1626
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 3: team's gonna start to lose games because of it. And

1627
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 3: you know, the season's gonna go away. If here's the

1628
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 3: other spin, all this stuff they have got, all these

1629
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 3: guys hurt, not completely hurt, but hurt some. Ed's gonna

1630
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 3: come back. Ed may practice full this week. Will see

1631
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 3: he's been out since week one. You're gonna get Hoype

1632
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 3: back in the fold after the bye week. You're gonna

1633
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 3: Ogunjobi on the line. All of a sudden, you've got

1634
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 3: maybe a catalyst that gives your defense a little bit

1635
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 3: of help, and all of a sudden, you do start

1636
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 3: getting even more turnovers. Your back end gets better because

1637
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 3: now Dorian Strong bounces back after his you know, in

1638
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 3: another month he's back at it. Max Harrison comes back.

1639
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 3: Now he's the athlete we saw in the preseasons, like,

1640
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, look at this guy. And all of

1641
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 3: a sudden, you're playing three or four notches better defensively,

1642
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 3: both on the back end and the front end. And

1643
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 3: your offense continues to run the ball well and it

1644
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 3: you don't get penalties, and you stop turning the ball

1645
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 3: over an occasion, and all of a sudden you're back

1646
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 3: to scoring thirty points a game, and because of the continuity,

1647
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 3: you're scoring even more. That's a pretty good combiny. That's

1648
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 3: the rain, the spectrum we're looking at. The season goes

1649
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 3: away because you deteriorate offensively if people figure it out

1650
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 3: and the defense never gets better or all these players

1651
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 3: jumping back into the defensive side give you that boost

1652
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 3: and your offense stops fumbling the ball.

1653
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 2: No gotta take a break here, try to squeeze a

1654
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:20,640
Speaker 2: phone call or two in when we get back here.

1655
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 2: On a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live Stay with Us,

1656
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 2: He's at the twenty, the ten, the five touchdowns. Snap

1657
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 2: Dragon Apples this Bill's season head to Wegmans and other

1658
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 2: local retailers to experience the epic flavor and monster crunch

1659
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 2: of snap Dragon Apples, the official apple of your Buffalo

1660
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 2: Bills want to spin it over to the tweet cheek.

1661
01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 2: Get some final thoughts here on who you believe will

1662
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 2: emerge Monday night against the Falcons for Buffalo. Joey says

1663
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 2: coach McDermott sat keon last week for disciplinary reasons. I

1664
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 2: fully expect him to play a major part in the

1665
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 2: offense this week. Natalie says, I need more James Cook. Okay,

1666
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 2: I guess that makes sense, and I would expect them

1667
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 2: to try to get James Cook going early in this game.

1668
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 2: I don't think we'd be surprised if we saw that.

1669
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 2: Andrews says for the offense, I would have to go

1670
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 2: with James Cook. Hopefully they let him. Cook definitely needs

1671
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 2: to be on the field more than what they're playing

1672
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,560
Speaker 2: him actually playing them more than they usually do. And

1673
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 2: for defense, Shaq Thompson reason is he's the only one producing.

1674
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 2: You do notice him when he's out there. He's been

1675
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 2: a nice veteran pickup addition at the second level of

1676
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 2: the defense, particularly in base defense. But depending on Dorian

1677
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 2: Williams status this week, Shaq Thompson might be starting next

1678
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 2: to to Relburn because I don't think we expect Milano

1679
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 2: to play because he's weak to week and Dorian, who

1680
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 2: missed last week's games trying to come back from a

1681
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 2: knee injury. Be interesting to see what happens there. Uh

1682
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,479
Speaker 2: Kouzi says, I think ed Oliver's presence would help the

1683
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,839
Speaker 2: D line tremendously. I expect to see Rousseau and Bosa

1684
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 2: to benefit most. Yeah, we're hoping Ed is full go

1685
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,679
Speaker 2: and practice tomorrow when the first injury report is released,

1686
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 2: because that would indicate he's probably ready to return. Coach

1687
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 2: mcderman on Monday said he they are hopeful that he

1688
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 2: will return to the lineup this week. Shell says, I

1689
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be Greg Russeau having his breakout game

1690
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 2: on Monday night. He is due and looks a bit

1691
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 2: more dialed in. There was an uptick in his play

1692
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 2: last week, Steve, like you notice him early and he

1693
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 2: was a factor in getting pressure on May.

1694
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,599
Speaker 3: So yeah, I hopefully that can be great.

1695
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 2: And he'll be coming from the blind side this week.

1696
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 2: Off the left side is a lefty, so maybe he

1697
01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 2: gets a couple extra opportunities because Penix doesn't see him.

1698
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 2: Rob says Ty Johnson Atlanta runde is bad and Cook

1699
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 2: will get his, but he also showed why he comes

1700
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,240
Speaker 2: off on passing downs. Ty should be RB two and

1701
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 2: get about ten carries and a few catches. I do

1702
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 2: like the way Ty Johnson runs.

1703
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 3: I do too. He's a low He's had some moments

1704
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 3: in this offense that where he's really good. He catches

1705
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 3: the ball extremely well. Last year, Josh called him the

1706
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:23,560
Speaker 3: best third down back in the league. And now with

1707
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 3: James Cook's emergence, you know he doesn't get to play

1708
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 3: as much because James Cook has upped his game.

1709
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 2: Mike says Dalton King Kid. The team finally realizes that

1710
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 2: they are underusutalizing him snap percentage wise, and he further

1711
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:40,879
Speaker 2: breaks out. He's the primary tight end in the eleven personnel.

1712
01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, if we go back and look,

1713
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 2: I would venture to guess that he has been out

1714
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 2: there for almost every snap in eleven personnel as the

1715
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 2: single tight end they use him in that formation.

1716
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 3: Group a lot. We'll see. It'd be nice if he

1717
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:56,679
Speaker 3: continued to emerge and teams had to more and more

1718
01:29:57,280 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 3: game plan for him.

1719
01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:01,639
Speaker 2: Players are bad back on the practice field Tomorrow will

1720
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:03,240
Speaker 2: have full coverage. We'll see at once

1721
01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 7: M
